Falling Deivs.

There are many of our pat rons who, in the hurry of their engagements, have doubtless overlooked and forgotten, as a trifle, the small sum of indebt edness to this office for job work and advertising but as rivers are kept running by the drops of FALLING- DEW, so it is necessary to our continuance that the FALLING- DEWS should come punctually to the fountain head. By dropping your DEW into our pocket-book yQu will confer a lasting favor.

FOR FOUR DOLLARS.

We will furnish the JOURNAL and the New York Independent together with a copy of Ritchie's steel engravings of Grant and Colfax, on the receipt of four dollars. The Independent is a large family weekly editod by Theodore Tilton, and is itself worth the four dollars. The steel engravings are everywhere pronounced very fiine and retail at two dollars each. Try this opportunity to get something to read at a small cost,

IIEKL is some Democratic argument from a Missouri paper: "The drunken ex-mummy of a Galena tanyard, late scraper of old hides, Ulysses 8. Grant, has ordered a United States war steamer home from the West Indies, fitted her up in royal style, and, with a herd of tipsy courtiers, started on a frolicking cruise to Fortress Monroe, Cape May and Long Branch. He has no more right to use a public vessel for such a trip than any other whisky soaked bummer. We, the people, pay all the costs—the ship, the crew, the wine, the band, the revels. We pay for all! Repudiation! Oh, the joyful sound 'tis music to our ears!"

OHIO and Pennsylvania will hold their State elections on Tuesday, October 13. The present Republican Governors in each State are candidates for re-election. The Democrats oppose with Asa Packer in Pennsylvania, and George H. Pendleton in Ohio, both Copperhead Congressmen during the gloomy days of the war. The result will be watched with unusual interest, as Democratic journals have boasted that if Ohio goes Democratic the Fifteenth Amendment will be defeated.

A STATE CONVENTION of the Young Men's Christian Association will be held at Lafayette next Wednesday, the 0th of October. The best methods of organizing new associations, the best field of labor, the best use of womens talent, and the most effective means of securing earnestness and co-operation throughout the State, are some of the subjects announced for discussion.

SENATOK SUMNER last week delivered a speech before the Massachusetts Republican State Convention, which has attracted more than usual attention on account of his previous speech on the Alabama claims. It will be noticed by those who claimed that the Senator was a reckless advocate of measures which would probably end in war, that he advises nonintervention in Cuban affairs.

WALL STREET was the scene of great panic in the money market last Friday. By a queer combination of speculators, the price of gold was advanced, in a few "hours, from $1 34 to SI 64. It was only after a public announcement that the Government would throw 84,000,000 into the market on Saturday that the usual rates were reached.

THE STATE FAIR.

The seventeenth Annual Indiana State Fair opened last Monday under favorable circumstances. The number of entries during the first two days is reported largeh* in excess of that of any previous year. Some exhibitions were made on Tuesday, but the best part of the fair was left for the last three days. To-day, there will be exhibitions of horses for general purposes, matched hoises, pacing and trotting horses, and trials of threshers and drag saws, beside the velocipede exhibitions, which. Ave believe, so far as tried this year, have proved a nuisance. To-morrow the sweepstakes trotting ring, with a premium of 8200, will be exhibited, and the examination of articles concluded. There are four times as many entries in the Agricultural Department as were made last year, the abolition of the entry fees and the general plenty of farm products, no doubt contributing greatly to. this result.

WE AKE informed by the Indiana polis Sentinel that the hotels of that city have made arrangements to entertain the numerous guests that are expected next week, in the most elegant manner. We should be happy to know if the ''Augean Stable,'1 the Bates House, has been cleaned and purified for the occasion.—Lafayette Journal. "Cleaned and purified Does the Journal think this an age of wonders, that such thing could be done

THE State Normal School of Indiana opens next month, under favorable auspices. With the remembrance of the failure of a similar institution in connection with Wabash College fully before us, we yet dare to hope that the history of the State Normal School may not be a disappointment.

THE New York Democratic State Convention, which met at Syracuse last week, nominated the present Democratic State officers, kicked the Fifteenth Amendment and adjourned.
