VISITORS to Crawfordsville rarely fail to compliment us upon the evidence# of growth and the air of business which the city presents, and it is surely not possible that they can be mistaken.

THE location of the railroad from this city to Danville, Illinois, has been completed, and the line is now ready for contractors. We hope to see the work far advanced before the bad weather sets in.

FRANK CUMBERLAND is again agent for the Cincinaati Gazette. The Gazette is now printed on new type, presenting a very attractive appearance, and as it ifi received in advance of the regular mails those wishing an Eastern daily will find it a good investment.

THE unusual demand for brick during the present building season has given to their manufacture an importance which has never before been equaled. How to produce bricks well-shaped and durable, and at the same time cheap, has been the question. Our clay is not the best for brick-making purposes, but the well preserved old buildings which may be occasionally seen in the county show a reasonable adaptation even under the old system of molding by hand. But that system is slow, and what is wanted is fast production, if the good qualities of the bricks are not destroyed with the increased speed. A machine intended to take place of the old system of brickmolding was put up a year or two ago near the Fair Ground, but was soon abandoned as impracticable. Messrs. Houston and Graham have since put up one of the Spraguc machines, the only one in tire State, we believe, west of the College, and have obtained the most encouraging results. The machine is run by horse power. The clay is prepared in two huge pits, used on alternate days, and fed into the machine by two men with shovels. It is then thoroughly ground and pressed into the molds with a power fifty times as great as that of the old hand system. The cutting and pressing and feeding of molds are all done on a single slide worked by a cam. Six bricks are molded at each pressure, the number per day, at ordinary speed, averaging about twenty thousand, although this machine has made as many as five thousand per hour. The bricks, wherever used, have, we understand, given the best of satisfaction, while they have been furnished at six dollars per thousand when others were selling for seven dollars. These bricks are being used on the new College wing and present a fine appearance. Messrs. Houston and Graham are now preparing a kiln of some six hundred thousand, most of which have been ordered by parties desiring to build.

THE TEJIREKANCE DIFFICULTY.—On the fifth page will be found a communication in reference to the recent difficulty in the Tahoe Lodge of Good Templars in this city. The case, from what we can learn, when fairly stated, stands about thus: A short time ago a member of the Lodge introduced a colored person, member of the colored Lodge. Objection was made by some of the members to this action, and the question of the propriety of admitting colored persons was brought before the Lodge. The question was decided by a fair vote we believe, in the affirmative, whereupon two of the complaining members resigned. At the last meeting, the applications of these two for re-admissipn were acted upon and rejected 09 the ground that there was not sufficient 7ause for resignation. And thus it is, political prejudices entering into a temperance organization just as they have entered rato religious organizations. The writer of tk«- communication referred to asks if "temperance organizations cai do the square thing when they allow themselves to be governed by political complexions." To this question there is but one answer, No. It was foolish in any member or any two members to resign for the reason given. It is a poor right •doer who allows himself to go wrong simply because a person with a black skin wishes to do right too.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.—The Council met in regular session last Monday evening, all the members present except Epperson.

An order was issued directing the City Treasurer to immediately proceed to the collection of all the delinquent City taxes, by distress and sale of property if necessary.

A special committee was appointed to negotiate with General Wallace for his lot

011

Green street as a site for Mayor's office, engine house and other public buildings.

Sundry bills were allowed, but no other business of importance was transacted.

THE number of citizens of this county who have visited the State Fair during the pffesent week is probably double that of any previous year. They will be compelled to undergo the hardships incident to a crowded city, crowded hotels, poor meals and various other little inconveniences—but we hope the exhibitions will more than repay them for all this, and that they may be the more ready to make our own fair a success next. week.

OUR Senior, with wife and baby, has gone to the West on a "tower." He skims over the prairies of Illinois in the direction of young Kansas, pulling up somewhere out there, where we hope there are no wild Indians to catcli him. Those readers of the JOURNAL who have seen him at work since his return from Indianapolis will not blame him for taking a rest, even if things about the "Stone Front" suffer in his absence.

CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL: SEPTEMBER 30,1869.

I. 0. O. F. ELECTION.—At the regular meeting of Crawfordsville Lodge, No. 223,1. O. O. F., last Saturday evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: R. A. Hightower, N. G. Howard Cunningham, V.

Four other Berkshire pigs were sold at the same time for two hundred dollars.

THE balloon ascension at the Fair Grounds, advertised for last Saturday, was postponed on account of unfavorable weather. On Monday the balloon was inflated with hot air, and the balloonist sucfcccded in getting a little higher than the tree tops, when, like Darius and his flying machine, all came to the ground together.

RECITATIONS were suspended at Wabash College during one day of the Woman Suffrage Convention, to allow the students to attend. Many persons interested in the application of the "twenty-three"' are puzzled to know whether or not this movement was intended as a concession on the part of the Faculty.

When asked by her mother if she wished to see some little girls, she replied,

4,Yes,I

When asked if she thought she would get well, she said if it wa6 God's will she would if not, He would come and take her along with the other angels. She then begged her Mother not to cry, as all would be better off in that good world to which 6he was going. W.
