Stonebreaker and wife have
'trone visiting to Illinois. —Chinch bugs are still very numerous and .ire ready to take the wheat as soon as the new crop conies m. —Alex. McClure, who disappeared so -uddenly from AVaynetown about three weeks ago, has returned. —Corn will not make an average crop.
The dry weather cut it short. Early potatoes did well, but late ones will be
sc.'irce. —O.-cood Williams is in the butchering business in your city. He is an old hand at the business and a good, clever man. I wish him much success. —Wheat hulling has been the employment of most of the fanners in this part of the country for the past two weeks. The work is about completed now, and the crop is about an average one and generally of good quality. —The county ticket is a good one,and if it does not win, old Montgomery is hopelessly Hour bo n.

was happy to form the acquaintance of Tom Tattler at the Teachers' In •sti'aite. —Connor & Myers have finished "lireshing wheat and have started a cloTer huller. —It is said that there are to be one "hundred hands at work on the A., L. & St. L. R. this week at New Ross, —Farmers are busily engaged in 'rowing wheat. A pre it many have finished, while others have not yet commenced. —Rev. John L. Smith preached an able sermon here last. Sunday evening.
The house vr:\s crowded whh anxious listeners. —Adkius, Melson & Witt have laid the lobulation of their brick buikStng. The nuiUVmsr is to be •GOx®} feet fronting on '.Broadway utid Maiden lane. —Mrs. Jesse, wife of James Jesse, died «u the -rth, after an illness of live ar six months. She tawes a husband and one: ohild, ami a lanre circle of .friends t« mourn their loss. —The New Ross school opened ok
Monday, with Prof. Moody as principal •and Miss Sue Ftgg as assistant. BLACK nar]in (nn. —HOSTS are S«irce and high. —I see but few letters from our tOTm--hip in your paper, and as we ks.ve abant as good a township as there is in the county, cxcept perhaps, two, we feel 3ike we ought to be heard from through the press occasionally. —Trade is reasonably good for the time of year. Crops of wheat, corn and potatoes, the three great staples, all good, with now aiul then a farmer who lid not have much wheat. But the crop averages very well. It the priee was' better there would be less complaint. —There are forty-two persons sick and complaining of not feeling well in our village. There have been oighty-sis death? in this place and vicinity in the short *pace if two years. As long as jeople eat green com, melons, cucumbers and ~uch stuff, they ma.y exjwetto be sick. —Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Simpson were with us last Saturday evening. Kennedy gave the solid food and Simpson put in the spice or seasoning. By the way it. will be sUange sndeed il there is not a large majority for Kennedy and Simpson. The temperance people, both
Republican and Democratic, should vote especially for temjcrnnce men. And of course we want lighter taxes, better roads and free roads,all of which we may hope for if Kennedy is elected. But aside from this his influence in the temperance cause will amply repay us. —If this Baxter law is such a poor law and a failure why is it that the whisky men are so bitter against it? Why don't they praise it and help to keep the isext 'Legislature from repealing it? But no it is a success, and they want it repealed iind will do all they can to get it repealed, but if we send such men as Mr. Kennedy to make laws for Indiana it will not be repealed. E. M. B.
Capt. John T. Campbell on flic Temperance Issue. {From the Newport Hoosier Stnte.J
Capfc. John T. Campbell, of Rockville, was nominated by the Reform convention of that county for County Surveyor, but declines the nomination on the ground that the convention emphatically (refused to endorse a temperance resolution which was written and prepared for tlie occasion. Mr. Campbell closes his card,'declining the position tendered him, by saying "It is very unreformatory for a reform convention to ignore one of the most vital issues to the people of Indiana—one that is within our legislative jurisdiction, one that will be settled this Winter, for good or evil."
Every real friend of temperance must act out his profession, and he must act it now.
There is a time in the going to sleep of weary men when a noise, continued for fifteen minutes, deprives the would-be sleeper of an entire night's rest. With a sagacity which is of the devil himself,the dog in the next yard hits upon that particular time to do'its barking, and only its thick-headed owner can rest.
The Riisselville Fair. 1 [Krom the (Jrconcnstlo Star.] On Wednesday last we lienced to Rus-! selville and the fair. On arriving at the town 'twas easily seen that there was a fair, and a large one, in progress. On arriving on the ground there was rroot positive"!)!'this assertion the never-known-to-fail caiulv stands, auctioneers, shows, etc., were all there waiting anxiously lor the iiiilux of sightseers on the morrow.
Thursday morning we bid an curly goodby to our comfortable bed, (much earlier than we are accustomed to, and we now know early rising is healthy, for we have tried it,) and after breakfast we went to the grounds to see and be seen. About six o'clock they began to arrive, and from that till noon it was a constant stream of people passing in through the gates.
The show of stock was large, the entries being as follows: Horses—(it-neral purposes, 03 heavy draft So light harness, 50 saddle, 3-1 breeding stock, 12 fat stock on time, 7. A mom: "the horses entered, (we wish we could notice eacii one separately) were
several horses by W. P. Swim, Ionian being one ol them. wood & Evans exhibited lately brought from Ohio.
Messrs. Gara Clydesdale
Of jacks and mules there where 11) entries. The cattle show was grand,there being entries, as follows: Thoroughbreds, 27 grade, 1!' sweepstakes, 20. In this class
We noticed particularly the yearling bull Climax, dam Fanny Fern, the property of Evans & Gardner Prince, 4 years old, showed by Mr. (.TOO. Durham and Prince Abraham, 2 years ol Red Beauty, D. Evans, proprietor
There were excellent opportunities for people to save their bacon, the show of porkers being very line. Mr. Garwood and Guilliams had some nice hogs on show. In this'class there were 41 entries to-wit: I.arge boned, 30 small boned, 11.
The entries of sheep aggregated 40,but from lack of time we were unable to learn the names of the owners, though tlai* we can say, that the animals were choice.
In the other departments the entries were as follows Agricultural, 40 farm implements, I) mechanical products, 19 fruits, 20 vegetables, Fi'i table comforts •$0 domestic manufacturies, 40 wooi, cotton and linen fabrics, 47 flowers, 53 paintings *.'tul drawings, 20 poultry, 13 miscellaneous, 70.
The iloral hall, though not very large, was attractive and was well filled the usual articles. Mrs. Walden Mrs. Grimes both exhibited choice collections, of house plants, the Caladium Esculwito and Tube Rose exhibited by the first named lady being very fine. L. Gross exhibited some very fine paintings. A. li. Brattin was on hand with a fine show of goods. Messrs. Frazier and Shark exhibited choice selections of fruit and the mammoth grapes shown by Mr.
some maple molasses which we know to be good. Miss lirumfield exhibited s«me beautiful hair work. The display of cut flowers was large and attractive. For the table the corn bread exhibited by Mrs. Lou and Mrs. Maggie Evans was decidedly tempting looking, and Miss Iidle Drvden had a marble cake on exhl
flamble- is unequaled. Any of your readers who may ever want Hats or Furs, should not fail to form the acquaintance of these gentlemen.
During the day music was furnished Co., corner of Meridian by the Waveland and.lmlson bands, and Streets, manufacturing by the people generally, lor 'tis music to hear the joyous laugh of young and old
In conclusion, the llusselville fair of 1874 was a grand success. We are under obligations to our friends at Russelville for their kindness, hospitality and courtesy, and to Mr. Evans and jtfr. Walden for inofnnation given us.
Slow Newspapers.
This is Danbury Uailey's description of the English papers: They crowd their advertisements into repulsive limits they mix up their matter without any regard to classification they publish but a beggarly handful of American news: they report iu full the most insignificant of speeches they don't seem to realize that there is such ail attraction as condensed news paragraphs they issue no Sunday paper, and but one or two have a weekly they ignore agriculture and science, personals and gossip tliey carefully exclude all humor'and head lines, arid come to their readers,every weekday, a sombre and mournful spectacle that is most exasperating to behold.

There is very little of old fogy ism in our capital city the same energy which has given itaNational reputation during the last few years, is still apparent on every hand. At the present time, it seems unusually busy the State Board of Agriculture seems to have inspired the citizens with a determination to make the Exposition and State Fair a grand success.

Messrs. Adams it Hatch, at 00 East Washington, rear Penn. St., is one of the j. largest Dry Goods Houses in the State, In its management it differs in some re-! spects from any other house in the city, Not only does this firm keep a very
lanre
and attractive stock of Domestic and 1 Staple goods, which are retailed at the closest margin, but they also make tindam questionably the largest and finest display of Dress Goods to be found in the city. They make Merchant Tailoring and Dress Making two specialties, and any of your readers who may give them an order will be surprised at the "neatuess and dispatch" with which the order
I will be executed. This house extends a cordial invitation to all persons visiting the city during the Exposition, to make this establishment headquarters, whether they wish to purchase or not. They will find it an agreeable place to spend an hour, and form the acquaintance of the

It is seldom one's privilege to look upon such a grand display of Watches. Jewelry and Silverware, as are found here. It is generally conceded to with be one of the leading houses in this line and west of New York, and has no doubt, the largest and best selected stock in the
State. The. extensive trade which Mr. Bingham has secured, and his facilities for buying in large quantities, enables .him to sell at lower prices than any other house in the city. Any of your

ors to the city are invited to call whether they wish to buy or not, as these gentlemen belong to that wide awake class of dealers, who always feel it a privilege and not a trouble to show their goods.
Before closing this letter let me call attention to two specialties from the Foundry and Machine Shops of Messrs. Chandler & Taylor, 370 West Washington Street,which will be special objects of interest to farmers who visit the
Exposition.
The first is a portable Mulay Saw Mill, which is driven by an 8 to 10 horse power portable engine. Farmers can put it „up near their own timber and move it as occasion may require. It is easily set up and as easily taken down and can be hauled on common lumber wagons. It cuts from 1,800 to 3,000 feet of lumber per day. By the labor which it saves in
the farmer as supplying a want long felt. In connection with the second specialty, these gentlemen have recognized the fact that much of the future growth and improvement of the country depends upon a proper system of underdrainage and in viewj of that are manufacturing the most efficient Tile Machine before the public. These machines can be examined either at the Exposition building or at their place of business. T.
