Montgomery County Sunday School Convention. One of the most interesting meetings of the Montgomery County Sunday schools was held on the 27th of August last. Quite a number of delegates were present from different townships. Crawfordsville schools were generally represented. The day was rather unpropitious, and yet there was a good crowd in attendance". To the lover of Sunday schools no pleasanter sight could have been presented than that of the little girls of the New Ross school as they marched from the church to the grove where the exercises of the forenoon were conducted. The citiz -ns ol' New Ross did all they could to n.ake the meeting a •successful one aud succeeded :ilmirably.

Good seats and a stand were arranged in the grove, and while the business was] being conducted better order could 11.it have been isked from the crowd. Frequently hardly a whisper could be heard. The crowd was not large for an ordinary gathering yet for such a gathering it was quite large, so that when they adjourned to the church the building would hardly accommodate them. The dinner was spread in the grove and was an enjoyable affair, as all such are. But one of the best features of the exercise was the singing by the New Ross school, and especially that bv the younger children. For this feature and for all the efforts made to make the people enjoy themselves the .-.••-school at New Ross is to be greatly commended.

The convention was called to order in the grove north of town by the President, David Harter, and opened by singing by the New Ross school and prayer by Rev. W. P. McKinsey.

Then followed a discussion of the various topics in the programme, which was quite generally participated in and proved very interesting.

At the close of the discussion the President stated that the duties of the Vice Presidents were to institute the schools in their respective townships and visit them when organized. Mr. Harter was selected to appoint a committee to arrange programme for meeting at New Market.

A committee consisting of David Harter, John A. Booe and George C. Coon was appointed to take under advisement the introduction of. normal teaching in the convention. "A collection of $2.27 was taken and placed in the hands of the treasurer, E. H. Hills, to defray expenses.

After praver the convention adjourned to meet at New Market on the last Thursday in November.

Grange Picnic.

There will be a Grange picnic at Meharry's camp ground on Thursday, September 17, 1874, for the western part of Montgomery, the eastern part of Fountain and the southern part of Tippecanoe counties. All Grangers are invited to come in full regalia, and bring their wives and families, with well filled baskets, and let us have a good time.

That the enemies of the order may be undeceived as to the objects and tenden cies of the order, good speakers will be in attendance who will make this part a specialty.

Good music, both vocal and instru mental, will enliven the occasion, By order of the committee.

J. KIRKPATRICK, Pres.

Speak Out, Mr. Johnson.

To Hon. Jtimcti Q. Johnson I have noticed that of late, several in quiries have been addressed to you through the column* of our county papers, and as I take great interest in what I should term an unequivocal answer to those interrogatories, it is with a filing of regret I note your reticence. You can but be aware that to a man aspiring to the position to which you are an aspirant, no subject of so vital an interest as popular education can or should be over looked. Lest we may be misunderstood as to the point in controversy, we would say we refer to your opinions and your position in regard to the first clause of the 16th section of the platform of prin ciples of the Democratic party. Ordin grily wo would suppose that the candi dates who are of that party would sup port its platform. But it cannot but be plain to you that this clause does not, or should not, express the unanimous wish of the party. From this remark, then we are led 011 to the fact that a mere inference that you endorse, or that you disapprove, is not and should not be satisfactory to the enlightened reason of the citizens of this county. We would wish you to remember that this clause makes an issue between progression and be tween indifference as to educational pro gress and that to condemn a noble ays tem before it has an opportunity to vin dicate itself, is both unwise and unjust

We would also wish you to bear in mind that a vacillating or doubtful position or a reticence which betrays cowardice to speak on this question, will cause many a friend of education in our party to look in another direction for a fulfillment of their predictions as to the cause of ed ucation.

Lou, was a dear sister, and a good girl. She died in the forenoon of life with many friunds about licr. But she died in pcrtect reconciliation and in tho hope of a blessed immortality, Sho was an affectionate sister, dutiful daughter, a loving wife and indulgent moiher. Sho leaves a littlo girl who will never romemetnber that she had a mother. Sho committed her to the caro of her husband's brother, Jasper N. Davidson, and then met her oarly death with tho same calmness that had characterized her wholo life. Doath is assoeiatiated with many sad reflections. Bat we never can I'ullv appreciate its sadness until it enters the happy band of a family and cuts down a favorite

Fivo times it has entorcd our

home circle, and each time carried ono away, and but few are left to mourn her loss. But we feel assured that only a littlo while and wo all must fall in the way of that ••Reaper whoso name is Death,

Woman's National Temperance League. During the session of the National S S. Assembly, tit ClnuiUuiqun Lake, several large and enthusiastic temperance meeting^ were held. Many of the most earnest workers in the woman's temper ance movement, from different parts of the Union, and different denominations of Christians, were present, and the conviction was general that a more favorable opportunity would not soon be presented for taking the preliminary steps towards organizing a National League, to make permanent the grand work of the last lew months.

After much deliberation and prayer, a Committee of Organization was appointed, consisting of one lady from each State, to interest temperance workers in this effort. A National convention was appointed to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, during the month of November, the exact date to be fixed by the Committee of Organization. The Chairman and Secretary of the Chautauqua meeting were authorized to issue a circular letter, asking the Woman's Temperance Leagues to hold conventions for the purpose of electing one woman from each Congressional District, as a delegate to the Cleveland convention.

It is hardly necessary to remind those who have worked so nobly in the grand temperance uprising, that in union and organization are its success and permanence, and the consequent redemption of this land from the curse of intemperance. In the name ofour Master—in behalf of the thousands of women who suffer from this terrible evil—we call upon all to unite in an earnest, continued effort to hold the ground already won, and move onward together to a complete victory over the foes we fight.

The ladies already elected members of the Committee of Organization are: Mrs. Dr. Gauze, Phil., Pa. Mrs. E. J. Knowles, Newark, N. J. Mrs. Mattie McClellan Brown, Alliance, Ohio Mrs. Dr. Steele, Appleton, Wis. Mrs. W. D. Barnett, Hiawatha, Kansas Miss Auretta Hoyt, Indianapolis, Ind. Mrs. Jennie F. Willing, Bloomington, 111. Mrs. Ingham Stanton, Le Roy, N. Y. Mrs. Frances Crook, Baltimore, Md. Miss Emma Janes, Oakland, Cal.

By means of a good telescope a very distinct view may be obtained of the moon. With,a power of 1,000 we are, as it were brought to within 239 miles of its surface, and 011 very favorable occasion! a power ev«tn higher than this has been applied. With the highest power, however, yet employed, no trace of any inhabitants has been discovered, though any large to-vn must have been seen, did such exist on the visible side. Even to the naked eye the moon presents the appearance of a rugged and uneven surface, and telescopic observation confirms this opinion. We find that in many parts of its surface very high mountains exist, and the elevation of many of these have been measured by observing the shadows cast by them when the sun shines obliquely. Atthet'meof full moon these shadows, that have hi therto been so con spicuous, disappear, as the sun then shines vertically upon them. Very accurate maps have been drawn of the moon's surface on a large scale, and the principal mountains have received names, usually those of celebrated astronomers.

One peak, named Newton, is found to have an elevation of nearly 24,000 feet, and several pthers are very lofty.

Another scion of English nobility has been bought and paid for, and will soon become the husband of Jennie, daughter of Leonard Jerome, of New York. Lord Randolph Henry Spencer, son of the English Marquis of Blandford, is the lucky man. For taking Miss Jerome he gets an annuity of $10,000 a year and $125,000 in case his'wife'dies before himself, leaving no children $250,000 is also to be paid to the heirs, if any survive them. The price is not remarkably high, considering how lords rate, but we ven ture to say it is, after all, too much. A prince could be had for a trifle extra, and when you are buying a thing it pays to purchase the best.

The Madison Courier is advocating the plan of having the Board of Commissioners fix the salaries of county officers and not the Legislature. We don't know but the Courier is right about it. It seems to us that a more just and fair compensation could be secured by this method than under the present system. As a rule, the salaries of county officers are too high, but Commissioners are not infallible, and they might yield to the persuasive arguments of office holders.— LaFayette Courier.

The Indianapolis Journal pertinently says: "The Democracy of this State are warmly in favor of local option for the saloon-keepers, but are opposed to it for the people. They would let every man sell liquor that wants to, but would de prive the people of the right to say wheth er it shall be sold or not.

The HNI I to Kansas and Colorado. The indications are that the rush to Kansas and Colorado will be greater than ever in 1874. The shortest way to reach the far West is through St. Louis, the great Mississippi Valley City, of over 450,000 inhabitants, and thence west over the St. Iiouis, Kansas City and Northern Short Line, which reaches all the great land grants in the West, and runs six fast

Express trains, two more than any other road, between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. This road, in the last two years, has expended over two million dol:irs, besides earnings, in extraordinary improvements of roadway, in relaying its line with best quality of new steel and iron rails, 011 broad new ties, and in passenger equipment, having substituted for ordinary cars new reclining chair coaches, with every appliance for comfort and safety, being elegantly carpeted and fitted with dressing rooms, with toilet conveniences for ladies, gentlemen and families traveling with children, free of anye.vlracha/ge. Any ticket agent selling through tickets to the

West will furnish tickets by this excellent route through St. Louis, over the St. Louis, Kansas City & Northern Short Line, the best anil shortest to Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, California and the great West, it being the only line running through cars between St. Louis and Omaha. For map, circulars and time tables address either F. A. Palmer, Indianapolis, Ind. or P. B. Groat, St. Louis, Mo., either of whom will furnish anv information desired.

Be Your own Physician. There is 110 case of Dyspepsia that Green's August Flower will not cure. Come to the drug store of A. W. Bin ford and inquire about it. If you sutler from costiveness, sick headache, sour stomach, indigestion, liver complaint, or derangement of the By?tem, try it. Two or three doses will relieve you.

Asrue Conquer is the only remedy in the United States that contains 110 Quinine, Arsenic, or other poisons injurious to the system, that will cure fever and ague, intermittent or bilious fevers, etc., and the chills not return during the season. It permanently cures fever and ague of long standing. aug yl
