We don’t know what the hot weather of this week will do for him, and cannot even conjecture what will become of him before “dog days” are over. . ... — 9 — — Hardware, &c.—We call the attention of our readers to the Card yf McColloch & Richey, wholesale and retail dealers in Hardware, Tin Ware, Stoves, &c., Fort Wayne. They have also a large stock of Ice Chests and Refrigerators, for family use, at prices ranging from sl2 up. Just what every family needs this warm weather. JtyMnrtin Bros, Bakers and Grocers removed to their new buildwig last week. They have a neat comfortable room well adapt ed to their business. The room the Martin Bro’s, vacated is being fitted up by Ezra Lyster for a Jewelry Shop. He hns purchased the stock belonging to the estate of John Elzeyto which he is making large additions, has secured an ex pericnced workman and is preparing to conduct a first class business. “Kill two Birds with one Stone.”—The various societies in Fort Wayne, are making extensive preparations to celebrate the National anniversary, to morrow.— Those of our citizens who Would relish a change of diet, ami desire to spend the Fourth away from home, may find a trip to the city ■quite pleasant; besides, wouldn't that be a splendid opportunity to visit Shoaff’s Art Gallery, and leave your orders for a dozen photographs ? ’■Onward, right onward, Into the Valley of Death, Rode the Six Hundred.' But larger, by hundreds multiplied into millions, than the doonv ed band who rode to swift destruction in TOlmyson’s poem, is the .great cavalcade of unhappy men who are rushing to untimely graves followed ’by the gaunt spectre Dyspepsia. This is all wrong, and should cease. Plantation Bitters, the great Stomachic Pain Killer, cures Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Headachy Vertigo, Dullness, and all symptoms of kindred character, as if by magic. For Languor, Lassitude, Great Weakness and Mental Depression, they have a most wondcrfull effect. Whebe is Youh Boy at Night? .—The following extract which we .clip from an exchange would seem lo be applicable to most parents in this place: “The practice of allowing boys to spend their evenings in the streets is one of the most ruinous, dangerous, and mischievous things possible. Nothing so speedily and surely marks their course downward. They acquire, under cover of night, an Unhealthy state of mind, vulgar and profane language, obscene ’ practices, cnmmal sentiments, and) a lawless, riotous bearing. Indeed,it is in the streets, after nightfall, that boys generally acquire the cd- ! ucation and the capacity for becoming rowdy, dissolute men.— Parents, do you beiievc It ? Will you keep your children home of nights, and sec that their home is made pleasant and profitable?’’

■mmmwCTcwwww—mm— County Printing. Q The Jay and Adams, Indiana, | etc., Republican is in labor with i county printing, and judging from ■ a late paper thinks every body else in a “fix.” The amende honorable first: We stated that Jones received for printing for one quarter, three months, 8425 Jones says it was $4Ol 91. We stand corrected, not wishing ito quibble about small matters® That would be at the rate of $1,007 64 per annum. S4OO for publishing the delinquent list in Jay county and &75 for the same thing in Adams is what Jones calls Radical economy.— Three-fourths of the ''Tint ire expense of the delinquent list in Jay county is made without authority of law—to furnish pap for Bro. Jones “profitable printing establishment.” The law requires the county treasurer of each county to exhaust all the personal property of resident tax-payers before selling their real estate. Let the people of Jay county examine the list. Every resident whose name ocj curs on the advertised list, who owns personal property sufficient to pay his taxes was swindled out of the cost of advertising the same by the Radical Treasurer of Jay Cdunty for the benefit of the_Jay and Adams Republican. More: Was he so poor that he was una- '■ ble to stop the sale, the fifty per I cent, penalty was another swindle ■ that he had to pay for, X'Qllecigd 1 without authority of law, for the ■ benefit of those suckers around 1 Portland who have a little nioney. We don’t ask the people of Jay I county to take our word for it, let > them examine the Statutes or the State of Indiana for themselves. All the “county printing” the Republican does is the legal notices inserted in the paper. We have for several veins done the larger portion of the “county printing,” including, assessor’s blanks and the various legal blanks required in the county offices. We drarr our pay regularly. We charge for our work the same that it ■ could be obtained for elsewhere.— - If it grieves our friend much he will have to go elsewhere for coll solation. From the tone of his paper we infer he would gladly make the people believe thaVwe steal regtt--1 irly about a thousand dollars per annum, out of the county treasury* If we did, friend Jones, the people, with all your howling would never see it. The pile of Radical stealing intervening would hide it. Heaped on one pile it would conceal Mt. Hood, Vesuvius or any other first-class mountain.— Don't talk about Radical economy, friend Jones. The people arc sick of it. They will repudiate both your party and its economy this fall. Die easy—dielike a man.— Fhe cry of “stop thief’ will not screen you. The whole country is fast becomming a Mini of “Roguhitars,” and tlie least said the better for you. They are going to regulate John Alphabet Shanks out of the “whiskey rings” this foil.. “Hark from the tombs!” The National Convention. While we are writing the dele gates to the Democratic National Convention arc being borne to their destination. It will be doubtless the largest political gathering that has over assembled in the Ui nited States. The people will be , there cn masse. The Convention l will perform the work assigned it by drafting a platform of principles and naming the standard bearers of Democracy and the masses of the people. The enthusiasm that every where prevails augurs will for .success. The dominant party is poisoned by its own venom and every struggle it makes to secure a forth r lease of power by the I arbitrary exercise of the legislative power -of the Government over the Southern States weakens ’ ■ its strength among the conservaI tive element in the Nortli. When . the wicked reign the people mourn. ■ Those Who do not wish to be ground • to powder will stand from under;' ■ for there is a mightier power in , the land than radical oppression, I which will compass its overthrow. ’ . Slowly but surely the masses are I ranging in line, shoulder to should -1 er, and no renegade Radical is to ' i lead them to victory. :

The Last Excitement.—Steam- 1 boat communication between this place and Fort Waync. A con- ■ sidcrablc amount of wind work has , already been done toward it- t Bluffton Bunner re- ■ ports that a one-horse distilery was confiscated in the neighborhood of Newville, by some U. S. revenue men. New Clothes.—The Ft. Wayne Daily Gazette has made its appearance in a new dress, also the Weekly. The tra-ze/te is nowone of the neatest, largest and most enterprising Radical papers in the State, and deserves tile patronage of its party friends in this county. G ET Sb.M ETII iNdGOMFORTAni.E.— This warm weather makes one feel like laying aside woolen garments for something more comfortable. Linen suits are in great demand, and we would say to our friends, that the Union Clothing Store, No. 25, Main street, Fort Wayne, is the place to buy them. Messrs. Fledderinan A Co., are making linen and a specialty this season. They make suits to order, giving you the double advantage of selecting the goods and having a neat lit, cheaper than you can buy ready-made clothing. New York Mercantile Jour-nal-,—This journal is a necessity with every prudent business man Without it our merchants will find it impossible to keep “posted” in the fluctuations of commodities •at the great head centers of commerce, and cannot buy or sell knowingthat they are realizing all the advantages that would be set before them by being a constant reader of the Journal. It is certainly just as much a necessity to business men as advertising, and to the shrewd business man this-hint is sufficient. Subscriptions $3 a year. Address New York Mercantile Journal Co., No. 350, Pearl street, n. y. Across the big frog pond the nomination of Grant and Colfax is received with unprecedented enthusiasm, and it is said Grant will get six hundred and ninety thousand majority in one ward of London, alone. The London Times says: “The Republican Party has held its platform in a village in Southern lowa, called Chicago. In this wild territory no building could be found, so the meeting was held in a \yigwam, wherein the owner, a half breed, by name Logan, a descendant of the famous Indian of the same name who, ‘could nqf turn on his heel to save his life,’ nominated GencralGrant for I’residan tand Schuyler Colfax for VicePresident.” The Paris Monitcur flingsup its hat as follows : “From the EtatsI'/iis we have to know that they have met at Chicago. Ent/iusinsme and fire cracks I The blackmail triumph. Meester Grant is Presi dent. Meester Andijohnson is defeat. Meester Banbotteler cock his eye. It is to rejoice. ' Vice la libcrte." The Deutsches Blattzeituny says merely “Das Amerekanischen re-pubick-convcntion haben nominate fur president der Grant. Zwei lager and der allemandischen Schcofax fur vice presidcnschcn. Brod und kasc mein gott was is des’ The Mississippi Election. Jackson, June 26.—The second day of the election closed here with a radical majority of 616 in this county, where there is a colored majority of 1,700. The elec tion will not close throughout the state for several days. Full returns have been received from but few counties. Some of the radical strongholds have been heard from. i The majority for the democrats up to this time is 12.755. Jacobin Gain.—Since the recent Democratic victory in Chicago the Radicals, we " are told have been making some gains. The last is a saddle colored child, offspring of t'ne wealth*- and stylish Mrs. K ,of Michigan Avenue, and her husband’.<“Congo coachman.— They belong to the “first families” Os Chicago, an 1 support Stick-in-the mud Grant for the I’resideuI cy.

The salary of the General is near twenty thousand dollars per annum, which of the op presse 1 tax-payers of the North, lie lives in a inagiiifiecnt mansion which was presente»l to him. and jMvsno taxes on his l»ouds.—Fsr-j ' hanyc. * |

Frauds in the pay Department. The house committee on frauds in the pay department, in the co*urse of their investigations, have discqvered some startling frauds in the payment of bounties in the second auditor’s office, which implicat clerks in that office and in the office of the adjutant general, principally in the payment of col ored soldiers who were slaves were allowed 8100 bounty, and free colored men S3OO, and in adjudicating the discounts, the latter amount was paid in a very large number of cases where only SIOO was due —the difference being~cnvuled between the clerks- and a certain ring of claim agents. Upon the facts being made known to Secretary McCulloch, he issued an order suspending all payments of bounties to colored men, and all the papers anelTccords in the ca-, ses placed in a room of the department, and the key turned over to the chairman of the investigating committee. Secretary of War Schofield took similar action today, and the committee will now proceed to a free examination of all the papers in each department relating to the subject. Two prominent firms of claim agents in this city are largely implicated in the frauds.

Hay Making. As the season for making hay is approaching, we publish the following discreet advice to farmers, from the Ohio Farmer: “Don't dry your hay to much. Hay may be dried tiH it is as worthless as straw. .As a goad coffee maker would'say, ‘Don’t burn your coffee, but brown it;’ so we say, ‘Don’t dry your hay, but cure it.’ Our old mothers, who relied > upon herb tea instead of ‘potheca- . ry medicines, gathered the herbs When in blossom, and cured them in the shade. This is thy philosophy of making good hay. Cut in - the blossom and cure in the shade. • The sugar of the plant, when in ; bloom, is in the, stalk, ready to . form the seeds. If the plantjs cut earlier, the sugar is not there, if • later, the sugar has been convert ■ i ed into wpply matter. Hay should I . be well wftted in the sun. but cured in the cock. Better to be a little too green than too dry. If I on putting into the barn, there is : danger of ‘heating in the mow,’ put I on some salt. Cattle will like it: none the less. BUSINESS NOTiCgS.

Lassitude. A feeling of lassitude is generally experienced throughout the summer solstice. Weakly constituted persons or those of sedentery hibits invariably complain of this annoyance. The scorching heat of mid-summer relaxes the system and reduces the vital energies. If the patient is a nervous temperament this debility unfits him for even the ordinary routine of every-day life. When this state of exhausutg? Comes on HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS will prove a safe and never-failing means of strengthening and restoring the physical organization. This health-giving tonic purifies and infuses renewed vitality into the blood, tones the stomach and digestive organs, and acts like a charm on the nervous system. It effectually removes all tendency to languor or depression of spirits. To the weaker sex it is invaluable, as it soothes and braces up, while its powerful effects are of (he most beneficial character. Ti e iufirmaties of age are alleviated by its use. It revives the strength, increases the appetite and gives vigor aud elasticity tv i the constitution. When mothers are nursing HOSTETSTOMACH BITTERS should be taken in regular dosesi-as in this i country, most always, the nourishment i is inadequate to the wants of the child.— In such cases this inestimable tonic is ' wonderfully efficacious. Its strengthening virtues nre at once apparent. It I is free from all properties calculated to ! impair thesystem, and its operations arc at once mild and soothing. ~ COMME RCIAL. Decatur Markets.
