Commissioner’s Court.—The Commissioners Court convenes Monday. In addition to the annual settlement between the Auditor and Treasurer, there is about the usual amount of road petitions, etc., to act upon. Bartlett.—This Sewing Machine is being extensively introduced into this county, by Mr. Phillips, the agent; and from every one who has purchased it we hear the most flattering reports. It is said, by those who should know, that it fully equals, and in some respects excels the celebrated high priced Machines of Wheeler & Wilson. Cold Weather—Corn Planting — The weather so far during the wick, has been very cold for the season. J. Frost, Esq., occasionally making us a call, nipping garden “sas” and “such - ’’ The weather has been very unfavorable lor the corn, and most of the early planted will require replanting. Indeed, some cf our farmers fear last week’s planting will rot in the ground, unless theie is a favorable change in the weather soon. Billiard Tournament. —The State Billiard Tournament commences at Fort Wayne, June 4th, at Hamilton's Hall, and will continue during the week. The prize to be awarded the champion is a gold cue, manufactured by Phelan & Collender of New York, at a cost of S3OO. Among billiard celibrities to be present wo notice the names of M. Phelan, John McDevitt and Pierre Carme of New York, Joseph Dion, Montreal, and other distinguished players. This will be an op porlunity seldom afforded, to w'itness the efforts of soma of the best billiard players in the world, and all admit ers ot this pop ular game that can make it convenient will doubtless be present.

Still Another Extra Number —The American Agriculturist for June completes half of the 25th volume of this sterling journal, anil, like all its predecessors this year, is of extra size—the first half of the volume containing 240 large pages, instead of the regular 192. The half volume also contains about 250 original engravings of a pleasing and instructive character. The publishers promise that the second half of the volume shall be at least equally valuable.— Nothing but an immensive circulation, running up well to 150,000, we learn could enable them to furnish such an immense amount of useful reading matter, and so many costly engravings at the i marvelously low price of $1,50 a year. None of the S 3 or $4 magazines excel the Agriculturist in costly and carefully prepared matter, useful to all classes of persons. The June number, of which an advance copy is before us, is replete with information. A splendid engraving of the “First Proof Sheet” graces the ti. tie page. The Calendar embraces many practical hints about the work for the month. The “Basket” contains over a hundred condensed articles on a multitude of topics The various swindlers praying upon the country are shown up as usual, with an unsparing pen. The “Walks and Talks upon the Farm,” are fnll of practical information from the daily life on a farm of 300 acres. The Farm, Garden, Household, and Children and Youth’s Departments, are aiso full of practical information, illustrated by engravings. Every number of the Agriculturist (costing but 15 cents,) is worth a year’s subscription, frhich is only $1,50. All subscribers desiring them, can hav® the back number, of the volume, as the paper is electrotyped. A dollar and a half can not be better invested than in securing ti e present volume (the 25th or Quarter- Century volume,) of the American Agriculturist Address, ORANGE JUDD & CO , 4! Park Row, New York.

Two Horses Stolen.—On Tuesday night two horses were taken from Esqr. Halliards stable, Vanwert county. Ohio. As the thief was seen passing through this place about daylight, it is suppoied they were stolen in the latter part of the night. The thief left this place by the Bluffton road, but all trace of him was lost about three miles from town. SIOO reward is offered for the recovery of the horses One of the horses was a large sorrel, nine year old, bald face, hind h-gs white, and one of them blemished, also a scar on the right shoulder. The other a heavy set bay horse, eighteen years old.

Ry way of caution, we would advise persons to not let a stranger pass at unseasonable hours, riding one horse and leading another, without questioning them closely. The presumption would be that they were out on urgent busines, and that business stealing horses.

Napoleon’s Speech. The following is the text of Napol on’s speech at Auxerre, to which is attributed the cause for the financial panic in England and Europe: “I see with pleasure that the memory of the first empire has not been effaced from your minds. Believe me, for my own part, I have inherited the feelings entertained by the chief cf my family for this energetic and patriotic population, who sustained the emperor in good as in evil fortune. I have a debt of gratitude to discharge towards lone. This department was the first to give me its suffrages in 1848, because it knew, with the majority of the French people, that its interests were my interests, and that I detest’d, equally with them, those treaties of 1815 which it is now sought to make tbe sole basis of our foreign policy. “I thank you for the sentiments you have expressed towards me. Among you I breathe freely, sot it is among the working population, both in town and country, that I find the real genius of Franoe.”

The Test Oath Pronounced Unconstitutional. There is no doubt now that the Su preme Court of the United Stales has decided the Missouri Test Oath unconsti tutional. Hon. Frank P. Blair, in a sp ech made at Macon Mission, Mo., on Monday said: ‘■l am here, to-day, my friends to till you that the Supreme Court of the United States have already decided that this constitution is invalid and void. I was told so myself by one of the Judges of the Supreme Court i.i Washington, and he told me in addition that the only reason why announcement of the decision was not made, was, that the minority of those who held that the law was constitutional, (four judges holding it constitutional. and five declaring it unconstituj tional,) was the four who begged that the Announcement might be postponed till the next telm which meets in December. — | (A voice, “Until after the election in 11 is State ”) That language was not used, ’ but it amounted to that. lean give my theory of this matter, and I tell you what 11 know and wbat this judge told me.— i Now wh t I would say to you would be j this, if any registrar refuses to take your ' vote, nobody can take tbe oath—it least nobody can take it without perjury I i believe it was intended by Drake to ex- ■ elude everybody who was not willing to i commit perjury.’’ I The Supreme Court is doing nobly.— It has overruled both military commissions and test oaths. It will undoubtedly dispose in the same manner of other radical enormities.

A Probable Murder in Washington County.—We learn from Mr. George Godfrey that a serious difficulty occurred yesterday near Twin creek Washington county, in which Robert Reeves shot, atjd it is said mortally wounded Joseph Hamilton. Two balls took effect upon Hamilton —one in the shoulder, the other in the chest, ranging up toward the heart. Bad whisky was the cause of the affray.-—Weal Albany Ledger, 23th.

Robbery.—We learn from Mr. Samuel Rishling that on Wednesday night, the 16th instant, the safe of Mr. Moses Gordan, of Francesville, was broken open, aud 8125 in money stolen, lhe thief or thieves, also carried off from Mr. Gordon’s store, clothing to the amount of two hundred dollars. At the present time we have no account of the capture of the robbers.— Winamac Democrat.

SPECIAL NOTICES. Dr. Franklin and the South Carolina Planter. A friend relates to us that the Summer before the war at the home of a hospitable South Carolina planter, lie was up one morning with the sun and was about to venture forth on a morning walk, when he was checked by the planter I at the door. “ You cannot pass, Sir Too early .” “Too early! Why, my dear Colonel, what I says Dr. Franklin?" ‘ Early to bed and early to rise will make a j man healthy and wealthy and wise.” “Very fine, sir; but all a fallacy. Early rising and the inhalation, upon an empty stomach, of the morning malaria of this country, North and South, have been the death of thousands—the death of thousands, sir, fro n the time of Capt. John Smi hto to this day. Wait till after breakfast, fortify your stomach with a I cup of hot coffee, and then, the noxious vapors of the night being exhaled by the sun, we will take a morning ride.” “But, my dear Colonel, I Rm always fortified with a wine glass of HOSTETTER’S CELEI BRATED STOMACH BITTERS.” “Ah then, sir, you may stick to Dr. Fiank- | lin. Hostetter’s agent at Charleston supplies me, and I am expecting a box to day with my wagon. Those Bitters, I find, are a sure protective against all the fevers resulting from malaria. Doctor Franklin holds good, sir,even in the swamps of South Ca rolina, if fortified with Hostetter's Bitters.” A Cough, Cold, or Sore Throat, Requires immediate attention, and should be checked. If allowed-ocontinue, Irritation of the Lungs, a Permanent Throat Affection, or an Incurable I.nng Disease IS OFTEN THE RESULT.

To Consumptives ' i The advertiser, having been restored to 1 I health in a few weeks by a very simple fem1 edy, after having suffered for several years . i with a severe lung affection, and that dread disease, Consumption—is anxious to make ' i known to'iis fellow-sufferers the means of cure.

HUNNEWELL’S UN IVERSAL COUGH REMEDY.
