Publisher Review.

CITY ASP VICINITY.

COMMISSIONERS' Court convened last Monday.

SLOWLY the work goes forward on the new buildings.

BUSIXESS in the Commissioners' Court is not brisk by any means.

THE Stone Front awning has been taken down for the Winter.

THE Odd Fellows were up to their eyes in oysters last night.

ON the 18thof this month, E. A.Pirinell, of Clark township, proposes to sell some fine stock at public sale.

THE regular Sunday evening services have been resumed in St. John's Church. Mr. Hagar's health has materially improved.

THE Review says that Dr. S. G. Irwin, of Fredericksburg, contemplates removing to our city some time'the latter part of the Winter.

Two new school houses have been erected in this township this year by Mr. Coons, the Township Trustee, at a cost of 81,700.

THAI boy who threw a stone through the show window of Robb & Mahorney's new building needs a good spanking from his mother.

T. S. KELLY & Co.'s sales have amounted to $12,000 since they have moved into their new quarters. That's not slow business.

WE learn it is the intention of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Superintendent of the County Poor House, to resign his position next March.

THE Excelsior Bakery has changed hands. Mahorney & Gerard have dlsposed of the establishment to Jim Craisr, of Ripley towhship. —=—=—i

OVER three hundred and fifty deeds and mortgages have been recorded by T. 5J". Myers, our Recorder, since he has taken possession of his office, the 28th of August.

DR. TUTTLE, of this city, will preach in Greencastle next Sunday, at which time the union of the two branches of the Presbyterian Church will be ratified in that city.

GEORGE A. BYRD? of Clark township, arrived home last Saturday week, from Cape Disappointment, Washington Territory, after three yea^s service in the regular army-

E. A. PINNELL, of Clark township, cut the instep of his right foot with an ax quite badly, a couple of weeks since, in consequence of which he has quit work for the Winter.

THE farmer who comes to town these days bringing .provender with him to feed his horses Is considerably annoyed by thieving cows. He has the consolation ofknerwing, however, tyat.it will only contimw&toout four months.

TEMPERANCE PROCEEDINGS.—The adjourned temperance meeting was held at the M. E. Church last Friday evening. The attendance was good, though the ladies were in the majority and were presented a splendid opportunity to give us a foretaste of their action on temperance matters when they get their rights. The business of the meeting was the second resolution of the majority report, declaring in favor of placing the question of license or no license in the hands of the citizens of the locality to be affected. At this point Mr. Williams introduced a substitute report in favor of a vigorous enforcement of the present license law. The motion for substitute was tabled without discussionRev. A. A. Gee then introduced a preamble and resolution pledging the meeting to complete prohibition, as a substitute for the second resolution of the majority. Mr. Gee's resolution elicited a warm debate, but was finally rejected, by a small majority. The second resolution of the majority was then voted upon and adopted, requiring the casting vote of the Chairman. Pending farther action on the report, a motion to adjourn prevailed. The next meeting will be held to-morrow, Friday, evening, at the New School Baptist Church. The following is the third resolution of the report, which will be acted upon tomorrow evening:

RESOLVED, That it is inexpedient at this time to form a separate political party but we will use our influence to have the two parties present to us for our suffrages men who will heartily co-operate with us in the suppression, by all legal means, of this great evil.

WHAT THE SUPERINTENDENT THINKS.— We copy the following J'rom the State Superintendent's Report of his official visit to this city, published in the Indiana School Journal for December:

I reached Crawfordsville on the 29th, and found

a fair

attendance of trustees.

Many topics of interest were discussed. There are many sunny places in this county, but I failed to learn with accuracy how generally the schools are worked up to a desirable standard. Much of this work depends on the cooperation of trustees, commissioners, and examiners. The examiner of Montgomery County, J. W. Fullen, is Superintendent of City Schools. I found him interested in my oflicial work, and ready to give me the aid desired. My visit happened on the day when candidates were examined for teachers' certificates, and required of him double duty. The lot on which the City High School Building is situated, is very suitably located. I wish I could speak in commendation of its fence and other surroundings. The impression on a stranger's mind is not delightful. I think if the Attica school bunding, with all its internal bee hive, were set down on the center of that lot, property would go up ten per cent at once. I say this in sincere love for the place. The Auditor's duplicates show a very good financial basis to assess tax upon, fifty per cent better than Attica.

The hint thrown out in the above in regard to our old school builings, is worthy the attention of our citizens. The question is, How much longer will they tarnish the fair name of our city among people abroad when they visit us

EXCHANGE BLOCK will be occupied as follows: Mrs. Wilson's room on Green street by the Georges as a barber shop Mrs. Wilson's room on the corner by L. A. Foote & Co. as a book store Mrs. Wilson's second room on Vernon street by T. W. Fry & Co., as a drug store also by I.N. Vansickle as a jewelry store James Patterson's east room by Mack & Bro. as a grocery and provision store Mr. Patterson's west room by Wasson & Elmore as a dry goods store T. S. Kelly & Co.'s room, by themselves as a boot and shoe store.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.—The City Council met in regular session on Monday evening.

Improvements were ordered for side walks on Green street, between Vernon and Jefferson.

Street Commissioner was directed to construct, street, alley and side walk crossings over I., B. & W. Railway immediately.

Ordinances were reported and referred to the committee on ordinances, with directions to report at a special session next Monday evening.

AT the regular meeting of the Fire Company, Niagra, No. 1., on Wednesday evening of last week the following resolution was,unanimously adopted: "RESOLVED, That the thanks of this company are due to the Melphone Quartette, the Olios, Messrs. Taylor, Heaton, Wolfe and Bell, and to Miss Lierie Bell. Miss Laura Divine, Miss Annie Divine, and especially to our little Prima Donna, Miss Jennie Foust, for their assistance in the entertainment recently given for the benefit of the company.

IN this city there are twelve licensed saloons and nine churches. The saloons are all supplied with men behind the counters while but a portion of the churches are supplied with men behind {he pulpits. It has been estimated that there are three times as many men engaged in selling liquor in the United States as preaching the Gospel or teachingscbool%

CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL: DECEMBER 9, 1869.

COMMISSIONERS' COURT.—The Montgomery County Board of Commissioners met last Monday, all the members present. Monday and Tuesday were spent in receiving and considering reports of road viewers and petitions for new roads and changes of old ones. On Wednesday the Commissioners visited the County poor farm, where they were made the guests of the county.

REV. MR. GEE, in the closing portion of his sermon last Sunday, paid a beautiful and well deserved tribute to the memory of Miss Jennie Barnett, recently deceased. Jennie was one of the lights of the world, and her great object in life seemed to be to do good. The testimony is that those who knew her best loved her most.

JOHN ROBB, of the firm of Robb & Mahorney, met with a serious accident last week. While at work moving some stoves he stepped backward and fell through a hatchway into a cellar, a tance of nine feet. Mr. Robb, we are glad to see, is on the street and will recover from his injuries in a short time.

THE Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western Railway, as shown by the mortgage in the Recorder's officc, is 210 miles long, running from Indianapolis to Pekin, Ills. Ninety-three miles of this distance run through Indiana and one hundred and seventeen through Illinois.

BILLY PASTOR'S great burlesque combination troupe will appear at Eltzroth Hall to-morrow evening. From the extensive manner in which it is advertised we expect a first class entertainment. The names of some twenty star performers appear on the bills.

BLESSED are they that are ignorant, for they are happy in thinking that they know everything. Blessed are the orphan children, for they have no mother to spank them. Blessed are they that do not advertise, for they are not bothered with an overplus of customers.

GEN. MANSON has returned from Saginaw, Michigan, where he has been in attendance at the reunion of the 23d Michigan Volunteers. Judging from the bill of fare the General brought back with him, we incline to the opinion that the re-union was a big thing.

'•GRANDMA" sends us a roll of manuscript which can't be published without the name. We have saved the pins, however. Come, Grandma, as old a lady a« you ought to be, cannot certainly object to letting us know who you are, and furnishing us with pins too.

GERMAN BALL.—By notice published elsewhere it will be seen that the German citizens are making preparations for a grand ball about Christmas. They promise one of the best entertainments of the season.

THERE are thirty-one school houses in this township, and at the present time schools are being taught in all. The average price paid to teachers is $2 per day or $40 per month.

A NEW time table for the I., B. & W. Railway appears to-day. Two trains, both carrying passengers, leave at 7:30 A. M. and 12:40 p. M., and arrive at 11:10 A. M. and 5:30 P. M.

ONE hundred and seventy-four ho^s in one hour and forty minutes is the way they kill hogs at Brown, Ramsay & Co.'s. John Potts disembowels them.

PRICES have advanced five cents per bushel on all kinds of grain during the past week. Receipts have been light.

MESSRS. MILLS & SIMPSON have put up 600 bushels of apples and 5,000 pounds of butter in their Fruit House this year.

JUST at this time the Recorder reports real estate transactions quite lively.

JAMES SUMAN was severely caned last night at the Odd Fellow's Supper.

DIEP-

FULLENWIDER.—In this city, Sunday Dec. 5. 1869, of congestion of the lungs, Willie Allen, infant son of R. A. and Alice Fullenwider.

Indianapolis.

By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that the following houses respectfully solicit, through the columns of the JOURNAL, a share of patronage fromthoso who visit the Capital to buy goods:

The New York Store, which is now owned by Messrs. Pettis, Dickson & Co., offers special bargains just now in dry, goods. Everything works like clock work there. The clerks, of whom there is a small army, are clever and obliging, and persons dealing there can rely on their goods being what they represent them to be.

The Trade Palace, owned and controlled by N. R. Smith & Co., is likewise a pleasant place to step into. It does one good to go to a place where he is made to feel welcome. Just such a place is the large and extensive Trade Palace. In the way of good bargains they set forth in their adver­

tisement, to which the reader will of course give attention. For furs of all kinds—caps, hoods, gloves, collars, mull's, victorines, and everything else manufactured from fur, step in at Lelewer&Bro.'s, 56 South Meridian street. By reference to their advertisement it will be seen that special attention is given to re-manufacturing old furs.

If you have bad eyesight and want a pair of "specks," Moses, at 50 East Washington street, can supply you with the genuine article. He tells the people this week that he has no agents, either traveling or local.

In the way of clothing, and especially overcoats just at this particular juncture of the season, J. & P. Gramling, at 36 East Washington street, can supply the needy And we can assure our people that this place is no "sheep clodin" establishment. If tbey are Dutchmen they are honest, straightsorward business men, and every article bought from them you can feel sure is just what it is represented to be.

To those of musical attainments, the Indiana Music Store, Nos. 4 and 5 Bates House Block, offers every facility for purchasing the best quality of musical instruments, sheet music, etc. A. G. Willard & Co., the proprietors, arc agents for Knappes Sr Co.'s pianos, said to be the best manufactured in the West.

L. I. Mossier & Bro., of the New York Clothing Store, 37 East Washington street, deserve a special visit. Their spacious store room is filled to overflowing with the best goods in their line the market affords, which are sold for one price invariably, at the lowest cash figures.

For hats and caps and furs, and in fact almost anything that will minister to comfort in fair and foul weather, at home and Avhile traveling, Ike Davis, of the Hat Store, No. 12 West Washington street, is unques tionably the man to go to. Ike knows how to do business, and gives the best of satisfaction to his customers.

And last, but not by any means the least, is the new book store of our old, true, trusted and tried friend, J. H. V. Smith, who for the past nine years has been in the store of Merrell & Co., but has now set up shop for himself at No. 4 East Washington street. Mr. Smith's long experience in the business, his personal popularity, his extensive acquaintance, and his thorough knowledge of the wants of the literary public, can but insure for him a large trade. In addition to his splendid stock, which has been selected with great care with especial reference to the wants of Western people, he has on sale all the publications of the Methodist Book Concern, his store having been designated by the Indiana Conferences as the depository of Methodist publications. We shall always have a good wcrd to say for the new City Book Store. "May it live long and prosper."
