Here’s to the day “we celebrate.” A» Great Bore—The Hoosic tunnel. D’ye see, friend Jones ? Good Templars are going to hold a “Mite Society" in Houston’s Hall, Friday night. The public are invited. Ffour.—The best article of white wheat flour only 811 per barrel, at the Fort Wayne Fruit House. Read their corrected price list — ~ ■ ■san m — ■ ■ . — JpgrThe editor of the Republican for the last three weeks has been almost in a frenzy of excitement. 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. HardwarElj&c.—We call the attention of our readers to the card of McColloch <fc 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 812 up. Just what every family needs this warm weather. Martin Bros., Bakers and Grocers removed to their new building last week. They have a neat comfortable room well adapted to their business. The room the Martin Bro’s, vacated is being fitted up by. Ezra Eyster for a Jewelry Shop. He hs9 purchased the stock belonging to the estate of John Elzey', to which he is making large additions, has secured an experienced workman and is preparing to conduct a first-class business. ——— ■—9 m —— —- “Kill two Birds with onz 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, and 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 doomed band who rode to swift destruction in Tennyson’s poem, is the great cavalcade of 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, Headache, Vertigo, Dullness, and all symptoms of kindred character, as if by magic. For Languor, Lassitude, Great Weakness and Mental Depression, they have a most wonderfull effect Where is Your Bot at Night ? —The following extract which we clip from an exchange would seem to be applicable to most parents in this place: “Ths practice of allowing boys to spend their evenings in the streets if 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, criminal sentiments, and a lawless, riotous bearing. Indeed, it is in the streets, after nightfall, that boys generally acquire the education and the capacity for becoming rowdy, dissolute men.— Parents, do you beHeve it? Will you keep your children home of nights, and sec that their home is made pleasant and profitable P*

PrimtUiff. The Jay and Adams, Indiana, etc., jßepudZtcaa is in labor with county printing, and judging from a late paper thinks every body dee in a “fix.” The amende honorable first: We stated that Jones received for printing for one quarter, three months, 8425 Jones says it was 8401 91. We stand corrected, not wishing to quibble about small matters. That would be at the rate of 81,607 64 per annum. 8400 for publishing the delinquent list in Jay county and 875 for the same thing in Adams is what Jones calls Radical economy.— Three-fourths of the entire 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 occurs 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 County for the benefit of the Jay and Adams Republican. More: Was he so poor that he was unable to stop the sale, the fifty per cent, penalty was another swindle that he had to pay for, collected without authority of law, for the benefit of those suckers around Portland who have a little money. We don’t ask the people of Jay 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 years done the larger portion of the “county printing," including, assessor’s blanks and the various legal blanks required in the county offices. We draw 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 consolation. From the tone of his paper we infer he would gladly make the people believe that we steal regulirly 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 are sick of it. They will repudiate both your party and its economy this fall. Die easy—die like a man.— The cry of “stop thief’ will not screen you. The whole country is fastbeconpming a band of “Regulators,” and the least said the better for you. They are going to regulate John Alphabet Shanks out of the “whiskey rings" this fall. “Hark from the tombs!’’

The Matieaal Ceaweatlea. While we are writing the delegates to the Democratic National Convention are being borne to their destination. It will be doubtless the largest political gathering that has ever assembled in the United States. The people will be there en masse. The Convention 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 arbitrary exercise of the legislative power of the Government over the Southern States weakens its strength among the conservative element In the North. When the wicked reign the people mourn. Those whodo not wish to be ground to powder will stand from under; for there is a mightier power In the land than radical oppression, which will oompass its overthrow. Slowly but surely the masses are ranging in line, shoulder to should-1 er, and no renegade Radical is to ' lead them to victory.

The Last Excitement.—Steamboat communication between this place and Fort Wayne. A considerable amount of wind work has already been done toward itBluffton Banner reports .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 gazette is now one of the neatest, largest and most enterprising Radical papers in the State, and deserves the patronage of its party friends in this county. Get Something Comfortable.— This warm weather makes one feel like laying aside woolen garments for something more comfortable. Linen suits a>e 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. Fledderman & Co., are making linen and marseilles goods a specialty this season. They make suits to order, giving you the double advantage of selecting the goods and having a neat fit, cheaper than you can buy ready-made clothing. New York Mercantile Journal, —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 knowing that 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 83 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 hek 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 wigwam, wherein the owner, a half breed, by name Logan, a descendant of the famous Indian of the same name who, ‘could not turn on his heel to save his life,’ nominated General Grant for Presidan tand Schuyler Colfax for Vice President.” The Paris Afoniteur flingsup its hat as follows: “From the EtatsUnis we have to know that they have met at Chicago. Enthusiasms and fire cracks! The blackman triumph. Meester Grant is President. Meester Andijohnson is defeat. Meester Banbotteler cock his eye. It is to rejoice. Vive la liberte." The Deutsches Blattzeituny says merely “Das Amerekanischen re-pubick-convention haben nominate fur president der Grant Zwei lager and der allemandischen Schcofax fur vice-presidenschen. Brod und kase mein gott was is des!’’

Daily

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. The majority for the democrats up to this time is 12,785. 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 the wealthy and stylish Mrs. K ,of Michigan Avenue, and her husband’s Congo coachman.— They belong to the “first families” of Chicago, and support Stick-in-the-mud-GRAMT for the Presidency- _ Grant sends his chidren to school in a carriage, and a mounted orderly clad in the uniform of a United States soldier rides behind. The salary of the General is near twenty thousand dollars per annum, which comes out of the oppressed tax-payers of the North. He lives in a magnificent mansion which was presented to him, and pays no taxes oo his bonds. — Ex-

Fraud* Im DepOrte

The house committee on frauds in the pay department, in the ; course of their investigations, have 1 discovered some startling frauds in tiie payment of bounties in the second auditor’s office, which im- 1 pllcat clerks in that office and in the office of the adjutant general, ’ I principally in the payment of colored soldiers who were slaves were allowed 8100 bounty, and free colored men 8300, and in adjudicating the discounts, the latter amount was paid in a very large number of cases where omy 8100 was due —the difference being divided 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 and records in the cases 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 M aklag. 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 tillit is as worthless as straw. As a’ good 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 reliet upon herb tea instead of ‘pothecary medicines, gathered the herbs when in blossom, and cured them in the shade. This is the 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 plant is cut earlier, the sugar is not there, if later, the sugar has been converted into wooly matter. Hay should be well wilted in the sun, but cured in the cocfy. Better to be a little too green than too dry. If on putting into the barn, there is danger of ‘heating in the mow,’ put on some salt. Cattle will like it none the less. BU8lliiE8»( NOTICES.

Weakly constituted persons or those of sadentery habits 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 exhaustion comes on HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS will prove a safe and never-failing means of strengthening and restoring the physical organisation. 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 the most beneficial character. The infirma--ties of age are alleviated by its use. It , revives the strength, increases the appetite and gives vigor and elasticity to the constitution. When mothers are tlttrSing HOSTET* TERS STOMACH BITTERS should be , taken in regular doses, as in this ■ country, most always, the nourishment is inadequate to the wants of the child.— In such cases this inestimable tonic is ■ wonderfully efficacious. Its strength- ; enipg virtues are at once apparent. It is free from all properties calculated to impair the system, and its operations are at once mild and soothing.
