Zangwill, "is a joy to its mother, an heir to its father, a charge to its nurse, a soul to the clergvman who baptizes it, a new biological specimen to the physician, a new customer to the shopkeeper, and a nuisance to the neighbors."

But let him drop a plug of tobacco on the street, lie will pick it up , give it a careless -wipe on his coat sleeve, or the boso n of his pants, and then takes a big cl vof it with a keener relish than ever. That is the kind of a vitrified brick man is. "Faust”, the most instructive play in America, will fie presented at the opera house under the management of Richard Lambert. This production, as presented liy Porter White and his company comes with the highest credentials. The residents of Decatur should prove their appreciation of Manager J. W.

In regard to killing deer, there are only twenty days, beginning November 1, when it is lawful to kill them. And a hunter must take out a license that will identify him, and on which are two coupons, and when he ships a deer home the express company tears off a coupon. And as there are but two coupons, he cannot ship a third deer. This limits him to killin.:,' two deer only. If such a law had been in force in Indiana fifty years ago. we might still have a few of these lovely animals left says the Auburn Courier. Million* Given Away.
