Henry Mayer is the local agent of this city for the famous Centlivre beer of Fort Wayne, and the Fred Miller beer of Milwaukee, Wis.

Our neighbors in the village over on the cow path seem to p< ke a little fun at us.

Wayne Business college which was held at Morton’s hall on last Friday evening. Whether the program got a fair start and was switched off on the way or whether too slow on the start, we are unable to say, but we referred it to the “devil,” who thought it but fair that it should not be ruled out. No college undertakes to furnish brains . to its students. Its functions are to train such trains as young men bring with t them. No college can make a man or , ability of a youth who has no ability, and indeed no college can even educate a man I without his own effort. Every mSi who is educated at all is self-educated. Schools t and colleges are valuable p : ds to him in ( the work of self-educfli jon, but it js he and not tbey who must do that work. There will he a reunion of the veteran associations of the counties of Grant, Deleware, Madison and Blackiord, at Marion, Ind., on July 28, 39 and 30th. On the last day a great sham battle will be fought.

This time it was John Blaksley’s 1 horse. While John and Charley King 1 were trying to put a bridle upon John’s f horse, he broke away and ran up First a street, turning up Madison street, where fl he stopped and commenced rearing and t and kicking, completely demolishing the e cart to which i»e wqs and bceak‘ y ing the 'jtyelast sden of hirnhe was nibbling grass on the commons* near • tjre G.
