RESIGNATION OF SENATOR GRIMES. Hon. James W. Grimes. United States Senator from Iowa, has resigned. his resignation to take effect December. Mr. Grimes is now In Europe, having visited that country for the benefit of his health, and his letter of resignation was forwarded from the city of Paris. The reason he assigns for his resignation is that, though his health is somewhat improved, it is such as to forbid his attending to his public duties during the next session of Congress, therefore resigns, that his State be fully represented.

WHY IS IT?

If railroads don't benefit a place, wiiy is it that those towns which are away from railroad communication are gradually dying out, and being absorbed by those which have railway communication Look where you will, in every portion of the country, the process is going on. Every man of ordinary information knows that this result inevitably follows. Contrast, for instance. Covington and Crawfordsville. We all know how many new houses are being built in Covington—about six. Over in Crawfordsville new houses are going up in every part of the town, iron and stone front business blocks, dwellings, etc. and all be-

ing of the people of Covington is in-1 cftuse of the completion of our Last and West road from Indianapolis to tense, and perhaps, had not wiser ,, ,P, ., ,, I that place.

CAUSE FOR REJOICIX.. The markets are abundantly supplied with all the substantial and many of the delicacies that the real or fancied wants of people require. What is gratifying, is that prices are much below those which prevailed a year ago, or at any time for the past six or seven years. Matters are now getting into a shape that a laboring man may not expend a weeks wages to provision his family from Saturday until Monday. The supply of food is so abundant that not only the producer is amply rewarded at the reduced prices obtained, but the impoverished consumer is enabled to liave plenty and to spare in his larder. The only article of prime necessity that keeps up to the old war and fan^nje ^prices is meat—either fresh or cure$ ,fi Thet, cause is a mystery.

Notwithstanding the fact that new houses are going up all over our city and iron and stone business blocks are being erected by the dozen, yet it is a notorious truth that Crawfordsville is peculiarly blessed

NOTICE.—The Public Schools

of Union township will open on the first Monday in October, A.D., 1809, for a term of five months, and as much longer (if any) as the Tuition Fund will last. It is desiretl that Directors call their meetings early, and make selection of teachers, so "as to promote uniformity throughout the township. We are willing to vote taxes to build railroads to develop the resources of our State, and promote agricultural and mechanical interests, which is always comm'endablc in any people, but while we arc doing this, let us not forget the duty we owe our children, who have minds to be developed and trained morally and intellectually. I trust that parents and guardians will co-operate with teachers and trustee to make our schools more feffidient every year. Teachers have m«nv trials and discouragements to tuirmount^ and need smiles instead of frowns, and hard epithets. All persons who taught private schools in this township last Spring are notified to make report of same to this office without delay.

Outfits lor Ladies and Gentlemen.

The undersigned would most respectfully inform the public that the agency for the above, under letters patent celebrated manufactured paper goods, is established, and for the first time introduced in the United States.

Among the various accomplishments of science and art, this may be considered one of tliegreatest achievments of the age.

The renown which these goods have obtained in Europe for their exquisite elegance, flexibility, great durability and cheapness will at oncc recommend them to the American public. BTotice, I«adies!—No More Washing, Sfo more Ironing, Ifo More Vexation.

The great invention of Paper Clothing which can not be detected from linen fabrics, and at one-half the price formerly paid for ashing.

It would be impossible to give he.-e all the advantages which these goods possess in an eminent degree. They must be seen to be appreciated

The great demand for them, upon the manufacturers in Europe, prevented them thus far from sending large supply. Thus the first invoice I will dispose of in small quantities only, merely to introduce and show their merit.

Wholesale dealers will not be dealt with for the present. No order will be filled for more than ona dozen of any one article at one time to the same address.

Money must accompany each order to insure attention. Letters calling for information must contain stamp.

In sending money, procure money orders if possible, and add ten per cent, for postage.
