Hold on, we say, and secure the advance that is sure to follow building our railroad. The Warsaw Union advertises for “ sevtSn or eight hundred subscribers to pay what they owe us.” We would not refuse a moderate amount that way ourselves. There a good chance to subscriber for the Eagle and pay !n advance. J3T Our railroad prospects are brightening. The contract for grading the road let to Decatur and money enough subscribed to build it; the contract for furnishing the iron entered into; and the promise of the contractor that he will complete the grading to Decatur within a year afford some indications that we are going to have a railroad. J3T Our newly elected Marshal commenced business last Saturday by straightening up the sewer on the corner of Madison and Second streets. We hope he will see that Sidewalks are kept in proper repai and that the rubbish blocking up our streets and disfiguring their fair proportions will be removed through his instrumentality. XTAn eastern paper speaking of the spring styles, says of the bonnets: “A cabbage leaf trim med with three red peppers and a dried cherry, sells for 835. It is called the jockey. Has one great advantage-can be eaten £8 a ssllad when the fashion changes. One composed of three sighs and a bit of pink-colored fog was considered cheap at 855. JSFWe invite the attention of our Democratic friends to the prospectus of the Constitutional Union, the enly Democratic paper pub lished in Washington. It will ba found earnest, honest, and fearless in the fight against Radicalism, and from its location enjoys peculiar a facilities for observing the inside workings of the party in power. The prospectus, however, speaks for itself. Do not fail to read it, and if you wish a reliable Democratic paper subscribe. The American Year Book.— This is the title of a new work which we have just received from the publishers. The following notice of the work taken from the Hartford Times fully expresses our views with regard to the work: We believe no similar work was ever before projected, in America at least, on which so much conscientious pains and laborious care have .been expended, as the very valuable American Year Book for 1869, just published by O. D. Case 4 Co. of this city. It is the initial volume of a proposed annual publication, and aims to meet the popular demand for general information on our system of State and National Governments, our public institutions, the finances, resources, and trade of the United States, as well as the political, financial and social condition of other countries, all over the world. Its editor, David M. Camp, has labored carefully and long in the preparation of this work. The result that here is a book which will afford, at a glance, almost any desired information—from the record of “ important events ” to the industrial statistics, and the financial, religious, educational and political condition not only of our own States but of foreign lands. Here, one can find all the names and offices under our government —and here is a fuller and better. statement of our mining interests I than can be .found elsewhere, and I a better astronomical department than you will find in any almanac. In short, it is a perfect compendium of usefbl information; and, I were it a trifle smaller, it wonld be for many, their vads-mecum. - As it is, though a too big to carry in the pocket, it is smaller and far less cumbersome than the modern Dictionaries, or than many books of travel. It will “ pay for Itself in a short time,” owing to the nature and completeness of its very various store of information.

JET The prospect for a good spring and summer trade Is brightening. Saturday was a busy day with our merchants. -From morning until night every business house In town War thronged with customers. Legislative News SENATE. Indianaplis, May 9.—The bill making an appropriation to pay the Morgan raid claims was taken up and read the second time, for the purpose of reference to the committee. A motion was made to refer it to a special committee of sffiye, which brought out a lengthy debate. Mr. Fisher opposed the appropriation, on the ground that only the property destroyed by United States troops would be reimbursed by the general government, and that only a mounts to 850,000 of the 8418, 000 reported by the Commission. He said it was a serious question, for if these claims are paid by the state, it would bankrupt the state treasury, and additional taxes will have to be levied to meet the defi ciency. i The bill was referred to a special committee of its friends, —Messrs. Cravens, Hoffman, Bellany, Dinbo, and Rice. The house am nlments to the election bill were concurred in. It was resolved, by a vote of 30 to 10, that the special order for the 11th day of May, the 15th amendment to the constitution of the United States, when taken up on that day, shall be further postponed to Friday, the 14th day, of May, nt 2| o’clock, and made the special order for that hour. The bill to provide for appeals in case of contempt having reference to newspaper publications, was passed. HOUSE. A motion was entered to recon sider the vote of Thursday, by which the Chapman temperance bill was passed by the house. The bill to amend the Soldiers' home act of 1868 was amended so as to limit the weekly allowance of orphans to 82, and passed. The senate bill authorizing the classification of the board of directors of railroad companies, a portion to go out every year, was passed. The bill to authorize courts to order the sale of real estate in suits for partition, when* satisfied, by sufficient proof, that the land could not be divided, was passed.

H. T. HELMBOLD. Without a Good Digestion All other temporal blessings are com paratively Worthless. The dyspeptic millionaire who has tried all the potions of the medical profession in vain, and believes his complaint to be incurable. would give half his fortune to be freed from the horrors of indigestion, and thus enabled to employ the other half. Os course he would. Perhaps HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS has been recommended to such a sufferer. Possibly he has turned from the friend who made the seggestion with a sneer, intimating that he has no faith in any “patent medicine.’ 1 If this has been the case to much the worse for him. His incredulity dooms him to a life of misery. All the luxuries which wealth can purchase are ait liis command. Not one of them can pleasure. His own irrational obstinacy is his bane. The masses, happily for themselves, are less skepticaM There is such a thing ns bigoted unbelief, as well as bigoted credulity and a golden mean between the two, which men and women who arc gifted with common sense adopt and profit by, These are the class that patronite and recommend HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. Why do they approve this famous antidyspeptic and auti-billious preparation? Simply because they have not been too much the slaves of senselneas prejudice to give it a fair trial, and have found that when all other tonics; stimulants and stomachics failed, it produced the desired effect. “Strike, but hear,’* said the Roman sages, when his ignorant enemies were assailing him. “Doubt, but try,’’ says the man who ha S'been cured of indigestion, or intermittent fever, by the Bit. ters as he relates his experience of the medicine to his invalid friends. Who ever is so wedded to his own foregone theoretical conclusions, as to decline to test the proprieties of a medicine endorsed by the testimony of intelligent men in every walk of lift, end approved by the people at larg, deserves to suffer. TAOSE WHO DESIRE BRILLIANCY OF COMPLEXION must purify and enrich the blood, whieh Helnbold’s Con OBNTKATBD EXTMACT Os EaBSAPABILLA invariably does. Aak for If elmbold's.— Take no other.
