'he Wabash is high ; and, like a Good Templar took noth ing stronger than cold water. ice house we several weeks since announced for rent has been taken, and is now filled; another instance of the benefits ot advertising! JOrThe weather for the middle of March is decidedly cool. It has been nearly as cold this week as at any time during the winterThere is just snow enough to cover the ground; not enough for sleighing. jtSrTlie time for paying taxes is rapidly dwindling away and a large amount on the duplicate remains uncollected. Our advice is to gather up your dimes as speedily as possible and avoid the penalty that follows after the third Monday in April. farmers report that the wheat has stood the test of winter finely. The weather has been quite favorable all winter; so much so that the oats sown with the wheat have not been killed. The wheat crops promises to be larger and better than we have had for several years.

foll'oing names cam po«e the Grand Jury for the April term, oftheCircuit Court: Joseph Spilller, Henry B. Ma pie, J. H. Ward, Jacob Hollman, 11. W. Shaekley, Henry Franco, John Young, Samuel Hoad, Joshua Sarff, Joseph, Shoemaker, Lewis Long and Charles Kelley. The alarm of tire was sounded, between eight and nine o’clock, Tuesday morning, from the Burt House. The fire was communicated from a stove-pipe passing .through the ceiling in the second story,wich was not properly protected. Being discovered in time a few buckets of water quenched the flames, with trifling damage to the building. * venerable jour tailor, 87 years old last July, named James Lfike, passed through our town on Tuesday last. He is .probably, the oldest living jour tailor, having “tramped” Gfi years ; and, notwithstanding his age, can put up a good job. Tn many respects he is a remarkable character; being a fair specimen of that restless and roving type of character peculiar to no country but ours, and which has carried the star of empire westward ho! with a power that nothing could arrest until the flag of civilization was planted upon the Pacific.

Last week there was an attempt to lynch a Mr. Bivens, in Lake township, Newton, county, by four men, who went to his house at a late hour in the night knocked at the door, which being opened by Bivens, one of the wonld-be lynchers struck him. Fortunately for the intended victim he was on “war footing,” and promptly ahowed fight Shots were fired on both ' •ides, but the ruffians wcr? finally compeiled to retreat. Q

Cincinnati, Richmond Fort Wayne R. R.—ln last evening’s issue we had an article, from the Decatur Eagle, in regard to this road. This morning we were call upon by a gentleman connected with its survey, who has given us the following particulars: The line runs about as follows : Commeucing at the Spoke Manufactory of Olds & Son, and running east of the Lasselle farm; from thence in a direct line to the St. Mary’s River, running through a fhrin this side and also through Mrs. Muldoon’s on the other side, west ; thence in a direct line to the town of Williamsport, a distance of three and one half miles ; thence in a direct line to the Lutheran church, in Preble township, Adams comity, continuniag in a direct line to Decatur.* The other line runs back to Fort Wayne and crosses the river about half a mile this side of Decatur; thence across the river bottom, fully half a mile long to high land ; thence at right angles for a short distance, and thence in a dir ect line to this city, crossing the river south of Monroeville; thence through Judge J. K. Evan’s farm crossing the plank road at Mr. Battenberg's farm, in Adams county, through Mr. Hooper’s farm and about half a mile from Middleton, through Mr. Emmersdh’s farm and east of Peter Wagners’, joining the first line at the north-cast corner of Mr. McKinney’s farm. We are informed, by those who i profess to know, that the first line irun has several advantages over ’ the other in the way of gravel, right of way, and other matters j which at first merely appear as , trifles, but, in reality, are very imi portant in the consideration of a railroader. — Fort IJ'agne Dzm6crat. _ - Indiana Items. i Duck shooting has commenced I near Terre Haute. The cemetery at Seymour con tains the remains ofeigbt men who were lynched. Sixteen divorce cases arc docketed for trial in Switzerland county, and one for breach, of promise. ! Two citizens of Edinburg are to I walk to Indiannpolii on the Ist of May, on a wager of 5,000 cigars and a keg of whisky. I Eight students were recently expelled from the acadmy at Ladoga, for alleged improper intimacy with naughty feminines. A w oman and six children, near Terre Haute, have been on the , Verge of starvation all winter. |-Eor days they lived on parched i corn. ? > The Madison pension agency i has over 1,700 names on its rolls, and during the last half of 1868 paid out 8 HS,OOO. On the Evansville "and Craw fordaville road, twice each year every bridge struture is carefully inspected, nnd every piece of tim- ’ bar not estimated perfectly safe for the following six months, immediately removed. In at lehst four counties, the law I recently passed, authorizing the ; removal of county seats, will be taken advantage of. In Wayne, ; it is proposed to move the county seat from Centreville to Richmond ; ,in Clark, from Jeffersonville; in I Jackson, from Brownstown to ! Seymour, and Clay, from Bowling Green to Brazil. > The trustees of Asbury univerij ty, at a recent meeting, decided to ..contract immediately for new coli lege building to cost 8100,000, the i corner of which is to bo. laid in June. It will contain a splendid | chapel and two fine society rooms, . to be name 1 after the person who | will'donato 810,000 and 85,000 1 respectively to their erection. | Gen. Meredith was a native of . North Carolina, but in early life removed to Indiana, whore he took an active part in public affairs. I Ho was instrumental in the organI ization of the Agricultural society ■of that state. On the breaking out of the war he was appointed to the command of a regiment, and ' subsequently was promoted to the rank of a brigadier general. He served with distinction during the j continuance of the rebellion, and .at its close ran for congress against Hon. George W. Ju.ian, but was defeated. He afterward was 1 appointed to a goverment position in the south, but returned in ill health, and died.

A Malarious Month. iKrch, us a new President, is also the inaugural month of many harrassing disorders. Entangled in its fogs are the seeds of coughs, colds, and, of that alternation of frigidity and fire, more widely known than admired, called fever and ague. The only way to avoid these -‘little unploasnntneses,'’ is to Tender the system strong enough to fight off the atmospheric poison that produces them, and the best way to eu dow at with this repellent power is to tone it with HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. If a wayfarer were credibly informed that a ruffian was waiting at the next corner, he would doubtless turn in his tracks, and take a safer route to his destination. With just about the same amount of trouble, the attacks of diseases prevalent at this season may be evad- ! ed. Nay, the trouble will be less, for drug stores lie in etery one’s route, and every respectable druggist in the Union keeps on hand HOSTETER'S BITTERS. The article is a staple of trade, and it would be as easy to find a grocery without sugar, as the store of an apothecary without this popular tonic remedy. In view of the experience of the nation with regard to the article, during the space of twenty years, it seems almost unnecessary to recapitulate its merits to Americans. But as our population is increasing at the rate of a couple of.millions aycar, in the natural way and by emigration, it may be as well to hint to the rising geijeration and new arrivals, (the old settlers know all about it,) that HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS is the most wholesome and and potent vegetable tonic ever manufactured; that it is a specific for debility, dyspepsia, biliousness, and misasmatic fevers; that it prevents, as well as cures, these complaints and their complications; that it is not “bad to take," and is absolutely harmless.

fjpb PHYSICIANS. New York, August 15th, 1867. Allow me to,call your attention to my PREPARATION OF COMPOUND EXTRACT BUCIIU. The component parts are BUCIIU, Long Leaf, CUBEBS, JUNIPER BERRIES. Mode of Preparation.—Buchu, in vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form a fine gin. Cubebs extracted by displacement by liquor obtained from Juniper Berries, containing verv little sugar, a small proportion of spirit, and more palatable than any now. The active properties are by this mode extr'aetc.l. I Bazliu, as prsparelby Druggists genI erally, is of a lark color." It is a plant that emits its fragrance; the action of a flame destroys this (its active principle) leaving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of ingredients. The Buchu ingny preparuiun predominates; the smallest quantity of the other ingrclienta are added, to prevent fermen bition; upon inspection, it will bo tound nqt to boa Tincture, as made in Pliarsinacooea, noris it a Syrup—and therc--fore can be used in eases where fever or influmation exists. In this, you have the knowledge of the ingredients and the-mode of preparation. Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and that upon inspection it will meet with your approbation, 'With a feeling of confidence, I mu, very respectfully, 11. T. IIELMBtILD. Chemist and Druggist of 16 years' experience in Philadelphia, and now located at his Drug and Chemical Warehouse, 69-1 Broadway, N. V. [From the largest Manufacturing Chemist in the World.] ‘•I am acquainted with Mr. H. T. Ilelmbol 1: he occupied the Drug Store opposite my residence, and was successful in conducting the business where others had not been equally so before, hiiq, 1 h ive been favorably impressed with his character and enterprise. WILLIAM WEIGHTMAN. Firm of Powers & Weighfman. Manufacturing Chemists, Ninth and ' Brown Streets. Philadelphia. Ilelmbold’s Fluid Extract Buchu, for weakness arising from indiscretion.— The exhausted powers of Nature which are accompanied by so many alarming symptoms, among wlijch will be found, Indisposition to Exertion, Loss of Memory, Wakefulness, Horror of Disease, or Forebodings of Evil, in fact, Universal Lassitude. Prostration, and inability to enter into the enjoyments of society. The Constitution, once affected with Organic Weakness, requires the aid of Medicine to strengthen and invigorate the system, which HELMBOLD’S EXTRACT BUCHU invariably does. If no treatment is submitted to, Consumption or Insanity ensues. Ilelmbold’s Fluid Extract Buchu. in affections peculiar to Females, is unequale Iby any other preparation, as in Chlorosis, or Retention, Painfulness or Suppression of Customary Evacuations, Ulcerated or Schirrus State of the Uterus, and all complaints incident to the sex, whether arising from habits of dissipation, imprudence in, or the decline or change of life. Helmbold s Fluid Extract Buchu und Improved Rosa Wash will radically exterminate from the system diseases arising from habits of dissipation, at little expense, little or no change in diet, no inconvenience or exposure; completely superseding those unpleasant and dangerous remedies, Copaiva and Mercury, in all those diseases. Use Ilelmbold’s Fluid Extract Buchu In all diseases of those organs, whether existing in male or female, from whatever fasise originating; and no matter of how long standing. It is pleasant in taste and odor, “immediate" in action, and more strengthening than any of the prenara’ions of Bark or Iron. Those suffering from broken-down or do’.ieate constitutions, procure the rem- ! edv at once. The reader must be aware that, how- | ever slight may be the attack of the ; above diseases, it is cettain to affect the bodily health and mental powers. All the above diseases require the aid i of a Diuretic. Relmbolds Extract Buchn is the great Diuretic. Sebl by Druggists everywhere. Price —sl 25 per bottle, or sir bottles for $6.50.
