AI/A5IO ACADEMY
The First Term of the Alamo Academy •will begin on Monday, April 5, under the supervision ofD. (.J. Roderick awl R. i. Stimson. The prospects, at present, are flattering for a line school. Alamo is a neat village, with a population of three or four hundred it has three churches and no saloons. The citizens of the town and vicinity are characterized by a degree of energy and enterprise unusual a town of that size. The Academy Building, just completed, is beautifully located, and is well and commodiously arranged, the accommodations being ample for a hundred ltudents.
We understand the Trustees hare ^iven the Teachers complete control, with power to establish the course of instruction, employ and regulate the wages of Assistants, and decide upon the price of tuition. It is the design of Messrs. Roderick and Stimson to make the Academy a place lor thorough induction in the higher English branches, the Natural Sciences, and the Classics, while no pains will be spared in fitting iuch as may desire it, to enter college.
The more than ordinary success which attended both Mr. Roderick's efforts as teacher in the public schools of Crawfordsvillc hare already been crowned ire the best guarantees of the success of the Institution of which they are about to take charge.

Darlington hath her her startling gos•Hip and realities, yet more strange while everybody knows what everybody does, themselves excepted. This is some people's bliss. Is anybody hart? O, DO not roe. We are looking forward, onward and upward. I suppose wc are from the fact that wc are soon to have a iJorosis. As yet it is rather embryonic in character, tut promises a rapid development. So Rath informs me and -*hc belongs. I will keep you posted as to its doings, as she tells me everything. —"Winter died last Sunday night.—Journal, March 4th.
Wc rather guess, dear JOURXAL, that you were not watching for the last breath, and he was only "possuming" when you wrote that. Hehas.been here aince that, time in all bis chilly grandeur, committing with reckless profusion many acts which none but the veritable Boreas could or would do. He blew his icy breath, laden with congealed vapor, into fair faces, swept into the private •chamber into things seen and unseen, o'er ground and stream he breathed his chilly breath and they were still with *tony hardness. It snows!
Beautiful snowflake, in all thy wild mirth Emblem of innocence, purity and worth, Why hast thou come from the place of thy birth, To tarnish thy beauty by contact with earth. —Last week was a reason of much religious stir with us. The Rev. Mr. Patterson, assisted by Rev. Mr. Thompson on the part of the Presbyterians, held several very feeling meetings. Two were added to the church. —The Friends or Quakers have been lavored with a ministerial visit from Jane Jones, a preacheress of more than mediocre talent. She is a noble type of her sex gifted, earnest, with an easy and eloquent delivery. She walks right away from the sectarian shackles that have so long fettered her and her people, and appeals with pathetic force for a higher, more liberal and charitable status of religious opinions! —Messrs. Niven, Johnson, "Wheeler,
Hewlett, Laryck and others attended the Railroad meeting last Thursday and report everything lovely the road a sure thing. Only have patience. Good. —The "resigned" Senator Johnson is lying prostrate at his residence near this place with, an attack of "culled pusson" on the brain chronically. A hopeless case, so his physicians say. —George Mikels sells his hou9c and lot to Abijah Perkins for 9500 and removes to the Wea Prairie. Jacob Booher sells his fine farm of 16® acres to Archie Flannegan for $8000. Jacob is well known throughout the county as one of our beet stock growers, and should he remove out of it he will be much missed. —Prof. Mahlon Smith of the the Linden FIigh School, we observed in town a few days since. He was looking cheery as though he meditated matrimony. —Our district schools have all closed we believe with universal satisfaction
Wc heard a citizen say the other day that three of the best schools kept in the township were conducted by young ladies. We omi£ their names. —Mr. Blus,fcrncr!? a clip's: :T jlai--Jtic

Best recently of Williamsport. drives pegs, and 'tis said he does the BUST kind. —What we want is more houses. Not a day passes but some traveler is heard making the inquiry, "l')o you know of any house to rent?" The world sees that Darlington is bound to be a great place, consequently there is a rush for a choice of location. If we had a hundred houses empty they would all be occupied within forty-eight hours, such is the demand, made so partly by the unprecedented number of "affinities" and railroad prospects. —Saturday evening an altercation took place between Joseph Wollingsworth and Newton Wilson, when the latter stabbed the former in the left abdominal region inflicting a severe and dangerous wound. An old feud is said to be the cause of their difficulty. —The matrimonial mania is making by happy consummation felicitous the love of many young and gushing loves. Each breeze wafts homeward the aroma from newly made bridal altars. The last to "consummate" are Mr. T. J. Kelsey and Miss Emma Mote, Mr. John Elliott and Miss Mattie Cox, and Mr.
John Cook
and Miss Nannie Cox. Ruth and "Eye" "gine" in blessing on their heads. She says Congress will have to admit another State pretty soon. EYKTBMIST.
LINDEN NEWS.
1 notice that Linden is not often represented in your columns. I frequently peruse the JOURNAL and I deem it worthy the attention and patronage of all. —Our people are elated with the prospect of a steam grist mill in our midst. A short time since our citizens offered to donate 11,000 to any responsible person or persons who would erect a steam grist mill within the-limits of the town of Linden. Some gentlemen from near Indianapolis accepted the offer, and the enterprising citizens went to work to raise the money by subscription. Several men subscribed $100 each, among whom were J. M. Stoddard and John Miller. The money is nearly or quite all raised and the timbers for the mill been ordered out. The donation is to be paid in three installments. The first, when the material is on the ground the second, when the mill is enclosed and the third, when the mill is in running order. —PhiL Dewey received quite a severe injury a few evening since. He was assisting his mother on the train which started before he had time to get off. and in jumping his head and shoulders struck the ground first. Dr. McMurray was immediately called in, and it is hoped he will soon recover. —The sudden changes in the weather have caused some sickness. Our young friend Solomon Dewey is laboring under a severe attack of pnemonia and pleurisy. Uncle John Patton is very sick and has two physicians attending on him. —Rev. T. C. Shanklin has returned from the far west with his health somewhat impaired. He left his family in Iowa. —Philander Hixson and family left last week for Tama City, Iowa. —Our town is decidedly a temperance place. The Good Templar's of this place held a temperance meeting at Drake's school house a few evenings since. Speeches were made by J. M. Stoddard, T.. Drake, O. Stoddard, J. Piggott, Mr. Cranmcr and others. Everybody was pleased and the Templars received an invitation to hold another meeting
INCOGNITO
jPROV NEW RICHMOND.
We have long thought something would turn up to make us famous. We had watched the organization and progress of our Literary Society with a hope to get some important items for your columns. That failed, but Mr. Bennett's private singing class has furnished the necessary items of information for a short letter. Not long since several young bloods thought that they would witness the exercises of one of the meetings of said clasp, and in order to be doubly sure of succeeding they made their appearance earlier at the school house than the class. When the class did meet they found the young bloods present also to enjoy the instructions of the society with the members, but the members not wishing to have any disturbance quietly dispersed, after which the young bloods adjourned also. After everything became qniet and the house vacant the singing class met the second time and commenced the exerciser. The young bloods were not to be outdone in this way. They proceeded to the house, demanded admission and were refused. On being refused admission they tried to force an entrance which they were unable to do. They then tried to seeura the doors on the out«i»V winner as to 51'.^ Sir 4?' c-jmici

out of the house at the close of the session. This concluded the exercises for the evening. For this little amusement the young bloods met at the office of Esquire Tom Foster in a short time afterward and donated 81 each for the benefit ol the common school fund. The trial was by jury and was conducted by two attorneys, D. D. Davidson for the State and J. L. Davidson for the defense. —During the winter there have been several shooting matches in the township, at which raffling and other kinds of gaming were indulged in quite freely. Last week it was reported that the grand jury was investigating it and would probably find some indictments, when there was a grand rush to Esquire Foster's to plead guilty and pay their mites into the treasury. One young gentleman declared that he wagered and lost five cents, and came forward promptly, plead guilty and paid his $1 and costs freely. Not satisfied with this hehurried off to town on Monday and consulted a lawyen about the matter to see if he was still safe. And so the world moves at New Richmond. ENOCH AUDBN.
RATTLIN6H FROM RATTLE SKA HE
Since we have no town on this line, no sidewalks to build, no ladies to wade the mud but those who are used to it and don't mind it and as no one has sold a farm lately, or had any meat stolen the Rattler has but little news. —We have two churches in this locality Finley Chapel and Salem. At Finley Chapel last Sunday, Rev. J. Hill preached from these words: "We know that thou art a Teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him." —Isaac M. Kelsey, Sr., has gone East with two car loads of horses. He goes to Massachusetts. —The Farmers' Club which meets every two weeks at Armintrout's school house, is now in successful operation. The most important question that came up before the Club last Thursday night whether or not it was expedient to 60W'clover seed and timothy seed together. Will neigboring correspondents please give their opinion —The Literary Society of this neighborhood will discuss the Suffrage question on next Thursday evening at the above named cchool house. The Democrats will fire their big guns, provided they can raise the ammunition. —A lively little argument Tom and Annot are having. Funny subject, though. Tom says he has got his foot in it at last. Does he mean in a corset If he does we ratherguess tha&Annot has converted him. Now, the feople around here seem to think that corsets and whiskey go very well together, with one slight difference. One is taken inwardly while the other is not. RATTLKR.
Nandajr School Xc«Unf.:
The Montgomery County Sunday School Union held a meeting at Fredericksburg on the 11th inst., and although the weather was very unpleasant there was quite a number in attendance, showing that the interest in the great cause ia on the increase.
The meeting was'called to order by the President, and the exercises opened by reading a few verses of the 13th chapter of Matthew, and prayer.
Reports were then called for and read after which the questions in the programme were discussed by the brethren present with great interest. It was manifest from what was said that a successful Sunday School teacher must be a worker and must use all the means in his or her possession to teach the truth effectively. The time seemed too short to do the subject justice, for as the Convention was getting well warmed up in the cause, it had to adjourn, after passing a resolution of thanks to the friends of the place for their cordial hospitality extended to all in attendance.
The I. C. & D. Railroad Company has the heartfelt thanks of all who attended from Craw fordsvillc for taking the delegates free of charge.
