Tickets.—We can get up Township tickets on short notice, but don’t wait until the morning of the dection. To prevent any misunderstanding, all orders should be accompanied with the moneyA “Charade.”—Our “Imp” is considerable of a genius, and possessed of some artistic skill. As the eleventh volume of Eagle is fast drawing to close, he has bethought himself to amuse out read--ers thusly: — 'X UP J An Old Pensioner. —Daniel Davis who is ninety- two years of age, and who served the United States in the war of 1812, the Mexican war, and one-hundred days during the late rebellion, passed through this place last Friday, on foot, on his way to Fort Wayne, to receive his pension and returned on Monday. The old pensioner resides at New Corydon, Jay county, and those who have conversed with him, say that his mind is a perfect encyclopedia of events that have transpired since 1800. The only objection we have against the old soldier, he is a 'bachelor. Boone County Pioneer. —This paper awakes from a lengthy nap under the management of W. J. Turpen, formerly of the Tipton Times. The following is his salutatory :

From a protracted nap the Boone County Pioneer awakes refreshed, and says, in the language of the Duke’s Motto, “I am here,” loyal to the Republic as it existed in its virtuous days, but intensly suspicious of the kind of government proposed by the hairbrained political lepers constituting the majority in the rump Con gress at Washington. It does not expect to set blind ditches on fire, or create a maelstrom in the sea of literature, but hopes and expects to be worthy the twenty-three hundred Democratic voters ofßoone, and will assist them to battle until the country is rescued. In ability it may fall short of the expectations of some, but in zeal and earnestness never. Turpen will spice the Radicals ofßoone to the satisfaction of the Democrats, or we be mistaken. Temperance Lecture. —Mrs. M. E. DeGeer lectured to a crowded house at the Methodist Church, Monday evening. She is considerable of a talkist—indeed, what woman is not—and handled her subject with ability. She is radical on ’ the subject, and believes it should be made a political issue, affirming it should neither be touched, tasted, handled or manufactured. She will make her way through the world, we predict, and we make our assertion from a practical basis—she walked from Monroeville to Decatur, on . Sunday. What’s the matter with the Monroeville “toteetlers” that they compelled her to make the trip on foot and alone ? She is not very attractive, we admit, but then courtesy, you inow, should have done something n her behalf. Our Good Tempers are indignant and propose to and an envoy extraordinary over lere, as soon as the roads get >od, to reprimand them- -good—s like to see the ameneties of e observed—even among Good

A Voice From Maine.—Maine has declared for Geo. H. Pendleton as the Democratic candidate for President, and the payment of bonds with greenbacks, according to law. Forney says he will be the candidate of the Democratic party. Radicals in this section, who fear his popularity will take notice that Pendleton is to be our standard bearer. The Best is the Cheapesl.— This maxim was never better illustrated than in the use of D. B. De Land & Cc.’s Best Chemical Saleratus. It is the best in the world and the purchaser gets full equivalent for the money paid, in a pure healhty article. To buy any other is a waste of money. To use any other is trifling with a great blessing—health. Usd it in place of Soda. Don’t. —Don’t advertise; it is a bad plan. It will call attention to your place of business, and it is much better for people who wish to trade with you to hunt you up. It gives your customers exercise and makes them healthy. Besides, if you advertise, somebody will buy up your goods, and then you will have to get more, and it will be a great bother to you.—Phontotype, London, Ontario. Verily, the Phontotype man sayet'L’ wisely. Flax-Seed to Loan.—A good article o/ flax-seed can be procured at Messrs. Crabbs, Moses & Rice. We advise our farmers, in view of the hard times, to call upon them and procure a supply for seed. In four months it can .be turned into money. • There is no other crop that farmers can realize? from as .quick; besides if they plant and sow a variety of crops they reduce the chances of failure, and will prevent a repetition of the failures of the last two years.

The April Election.—We desire every township in the comity to run a clean Democratic tieket for everj' township office to be elected. Don’t neglect this matter and then there is the still more important matter, to bring every Democrat to the polls. Should you neglect your duty, in some of the close townships we might have to record a defeat, which would be promptly heralded over the country as a Radical victory, and thus create false impressions. A word to the wise is sufficient. Home Reflections. The best way to keep a town from thriving is to neglect your business and poke your nose into every body alse’s. Do not put up more buildings than you conviently occupy yourself. If you should accidently have an empty dwelling, and any one wants to use it, ask about three times its rental value for it. Turn a cold shoulder to every mechanic or business man seeking a home among you. Look at every new-comer with a scowl. Run down the work of every new workman. Go abroad for wares rather than trade with those who seek to do business in your midst. Wrap yourself up in yourselves, and cover your bodies with a coat of impervious selfishness. There is no more effectual way to retard the growth of a town than actions like those above enumerated. Saint Patrick.—“ Saint Patrick was a gentleman,” according to the old song, but he was not, as is generally believed, an Irsish man. He was born near the mouth of the Clyde, in Scotland, in 372. At 16 years of age he was captured by a band of outlaws, and carried a prisoner to Ireland. After a captivity of six mouthy he escaped a prisoner to Scotland. The pirates seem to have have had a fancy for the young man, and captured him again; he was equally fortunate in escaping a second time. He was resolved to become a missionary to Ireland, and after a long preparation was ordained a priest, and finally consecrated bishop. He entered on his labors in Ireland in the year 432, when he was at the age of sixty. His preaching was attended with such success that before his death, he converted the whole Island to Christianity. He baptized the kings of Dublin and Munster, and the seven of the king of Connaught, with the greater part of their subjects. A popular legend ascribes to him the banishment of all the snakes and venomous creatures from the Emerald Isle, by means of his crosier or staff, which was preserved in Dublin with great vener-' ation as late as 1360-

What ffe Are Taxed For. We have been taxed half a million of dollars, within the last year to build school-houses for the negroes in the South. We have been taxed eight hundred thousand dollars to pay the expenses of negroes to ride about the South on the different railroads. We have be.en taxed to pay one million five hundred thousand dollars for food for negroes and Bureau agents in the South. We have been taxed twenty-five thousand dollars to pay schoolteachers f6r teaching negro children in the South. These are a few among the many things we have been taxed for under the Radical reconstruction policy in the South. When torty-two millions more are added as the military expenses attendant upon the policy, the people may begin to understand why they are crowded for money and why taxes are oppressive.— Detroit Free Press. At a dinner given by the director of one of the State street banks in Boston, one evening last week, there were present, among others, thirty gentlemen worth $1,000,000 each.

SPECIAL NOTICES. ' The Os this bright and cheerful world are the Dyspeptics. Without a good digestion there can neither be bodily comfort nor mental enjoyment. Between the stomach and the brain there is a close and wonderful alliance. If the one is disorded the other is gloomy, dejected, incapable of effort, and indifferent to all that makes life agreeable to the healthy. Is this a condition that any rational human being is willing to endure, when the means of certain, immediate and permanent relief can-be obtained everywhere? The Dyspeptic has his fate in his own hands. If he chooses to banish forever the disorder that racks his body and disturbs the mind with nameless horrors, he has only to step to the nearest drug store-and procure a supply of HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS. No phase of dyspepsia has ever yet resisted the alterative, tonic and anti-bil-lious operation of this potent vegetable specific. It literally regenerates the lethargic stomach; rouses into healthy actien the dormant liver; puts to flight the dismal fancies that jieset the mind; gently relieves and regulates the bowels; strengthens the enfebled nerves; restores the appetite, and makes, as it were, a nkw creature of the desponding and debilitated invalid. Ladies who suffer from indigestion have only'to take a small dose of this pure vegetable corrective, once yr twice a day, to secure entire exemption from the pains of a weak stomach and that perfect functional regularity, which but few of the sex uninterruptedly enjoy.
