REV.

J. 'BOWLES, of Fountain

county, writes a card to the Indianapolis papers accepting the nomination for Secretary of State tendered him by the Independents.

Tin: new finance law has effected a contraction of the currency so far to the extent of about a million of dollars.

This cs the law winch many feared vsould

produce a disastrous mflat.on.

tained by the Independents which can not be secuied by parties already in existence.

W. H. BOSWEIX, late of the Ladoga .Herald, has turned up at Noblesville, where he has commenced the publication of a paper called the Independent. The paper supports the "people's" ticket.! Boswell wasn't in the habit of taking much part in politics when lie was in this county.

Hoy. WM. BAXTKB, of Richmond, the author of the Baxter bill, has been renominated for State Senator by the Republicans of Wayne county. His competitor was Henry C. Meredith, of Cambridge City, a son of Gen. Sol. Meredith and a popular young man, but the Republicans of Wayne county thought it wouldn't be right to sustain the law repudiate its author.

THE editor of the Attica Herald makes this confession: "Heretofore we have always voted an unscratched Democratic ticket, formerly we gloried in it, now, we are loth to admit, more in sorrow than in anger, that being shackled, bound hand and foot and thinking it was a duty incumbent upon us, like a galley slave, we did the bidding of our masters."

This is John H. Spence, formerly publisher of the Covington Friend. He now announces his intention to support the Independent ticket in the interest of an economical administration of local affairs. Such a strong partisan as lie confesses to have been will doubtless be a valuable acquisition to a party that ignores politics.

DAVID KEN WORTHY, Treasurer of the Anderson, Lebanon &St. Louis Railroad, was in the city this week. From him we learn the work is progressing on the road with reasonable ranidity. The grading was finished some months ago between Anderson and Noblesville. Work is progressing in Hamilton county, where the grade will be finished by the middle of September. In Boone county the grading will betfnislied in two weeks, excepting about one mile. The line is finished in this county as far west as Brown township. £n the nine miles in that township work has been progressing during the.last two«r three months. It is the intention of the company to com.mence laving iron in November, and to

to Montezuma by Spring.

The Grangers and the Reformers will have a grand mass meeting at, Brooks' grove on Saturday, the 20th.

The committee of arrangements will act with the Sunday school committee in preparing the grounds on the 26th, so that one preparation may answer for both occasions. —Adkins &• Witt commenced Tuesday I to dig the cellar for their brick block, which is to be 02 by 80 feet, containing three store rooms.

Look for an explanation from "Bopeep" of a certain local in the Second Edition of the JOURNAL of last week. —About twelve o'clock last Friday night a meteor, which shone so bright as to make it almost as light as day, exhibited itself for about a second. —Mrs. Carrie Steward, of Sugar Grove, while out riding last week, lost a pocket book containing some twenty dollars and some notei'V At last accounts it had not been found. —The wheat stacks of Jere Vincent, of the prairie west of Romney, were struck by lightning on the night of the 9th and burned. Two straw stacks not far from the same'place were also htruok and burned. —A JOURNAL local of last week says that George Smith's horse became frightened at the Waynetown band and threw him out, injuring him slightly, etc. This is all true except the "become frightened at the band." Smith was in a race passing a wagon about a quarter of a mile ahead, and after passing, in attempting to stop his horses, he was thrown out, his horses running up into town. They started a short distance on the Crawfordsville side of the iron bridge over Sugar creek.

The Good Templars of this place procured a small mule, hitched it to a sulkey and placing S. Johnson on it to represent "Nasby" at the Shady Nook Good Templar' picnic. On either wheel was tied numerous old shoes and a variety of dog fennel and under the axle a keg was swung. On one end was painted "Old Rye," on the other "P. V. N." Under the seat a box was placed on which was painted "S. S. B., (Sunday school books) T. Hendrix, Ind. "Nasby" held a banner bearing on one side this inscription:

E. B. Reynolds, Will Cumback, Wm. Baxter and S. B. Chance will certainly be present, besides other eminent temperance speakers. The ladies are just beginning to take hold of it, and a more extended notice will be given in due time. Let all friends of temperance come. GUY GAMORK.

Teaclicrs mid the Democratic Ticket. A school teacher writing from Tipton, this State, to the Indianapolis Journal says: "I was born a Democrat, but I cannot support the ticket this time. 1. I don't believe in whisky ruling. 2. I do not think the office of County Superintendent should be abolished. The County Superintendent is the engine that propels the whole school system of our State. With it we must advance without it we may or may not advance. The whisky question alone will defeat the ticket and the abolishment of the oflice of County Superintendent will render it an absolute necessity for a candid, intelligent, wide awake public to defeat it. Teachers alone can do it.
