WAYS OF THE WABASH VALLEY.

Greencastle banner: There are no Colorado beetles on the train boy. One day last week a youngster hopped off the I. & St. L. limited at the north depet, threw what looked to be an extremely poor counterfeit quarter on a baggage truck, and said: "What is that?"

The dull ring of the coin, together with its appearance, caused the group of bystanders to smile in concert at his ignorance, and one replied, "It is a very bad counterfeit." "I think not." "I'll beta dollar it is."

uDone."

The money was put up. The meekeyed boy then carefully unwrapped the tin foil from the money and displayed as good a coin as there is in the realm. The foil was so neatly wrapped it was almostmpossible to deteot the deception with the eye. The cunning cherub smiled sweetly, pocketed the bet, jumped on the train as it pulled out, and three minutes later had sold two cents worth of rotten candy to a passenger for twenty five cents with a brass breast pin thrown in.

Tuscola Review: Claude Baum, aged 19, of Newman, is said to be a born genius, and an inventor that will some day make his mark, and that day is not very far off if reports are true. Young Baum, it is claimed, has invented and tested a machine to be known as a water bicycle that is, it runs on the face of the witer with the speed and grace that the common bicycle will on land. He has been working on the machine for several months, and it is so perfect that it is said there is no failing in making it do just what is claimed. A public test will be made on the machine by him, when he will attempt to ride the waters of the Wabash from Montezuma to Terre Haute, and this trial is to occur within the next thirty days. It is capable of carrying 750 pounds, and will safely skim the water, no matter if it is rough. Young Baum has also by bis own hand and head constructed an electric light apparatus which is a remarkable success.

Washington Gazette: Friday forenoon an amusing incident occurred on the O. & M., in the east part of the city. A car which was loaded with shelled corn burst and the grain was scattered the full length of the city. What few hogs were intruding on the stock ordinance were having a great time. A little boy is hired by the company to watch the stock off the track in the commons near Signor's mill, and seeing an old sow on the track attempted to drive her off, but without success. He heard a train coming and knowing that the hog was in hiB charge made a desperate effort to run her away. She wouldn't go and as a last resort the dutiful employe grasped a leg and the tail and after a hard struggle pulled her off as the train whizzed by. Some persons who saw the act thought both hog and boy would be killed and it was a narrow escape. It would be in order for the owner to draft a resolution of thanks.

Mattoon Journal: A sensation has been created at Arthur over a case of poisoning, in which between fifteen and twenty young men of that place were sufferers. Recently a grocery man carelessly allowed a half barrel of hard cider to remain standing in the rear of his store. This fact becoming known to the boys, a number of them tapped it and procured several gallons and became very hilarious thereby. The second night they returned and the hard cider carnival was again repeated and the villagers began to wonder what was up. On the third night they again returned, but to their sorroW. Their little game had been detected. They again imbibed the seductive drink. During the day the fluid had been drugged by some heartless wretch with croton oil, The result was that all were taken deathly sick and physicians were called in. While none received a fatal dose, several are in a critical condition and will not soon recover.

Vincennes Commercial: In loading several cars of old scrap iron at the shops, Monday, preparatory to taking it to Washington, the employes killed nearly a hundred rats. Concluding to illustrate the general expression that one gives vent to when he hears the oft-re-peated tale of the shop's 'removal, the boys procured a string and tied the rats to it until they had a string of them as long as a car. The string was attached to each end of a fiat car and the string of rats were left to illustrate the general expression uttered whenever the shops removal question is mentioned.

Owen County Journal: This is new. One of our Spencer ladies is away visiting relatives. In the house is one of the sweetest of babies—a cherub boy— Howard by name. He is the life of the house aDd is perpetual motion itself, and he gets off some smart sayings. On the table at dinner there was some jam which he seemed to be very fond of, and he called it "dam." His mother thought he had enough and refused to give him any more. Then he left her and crawled upon his aunt's lap crying: "Dam, Aunt Sue! dam, Aunt Sue!"

Sullivan Democrat: Mr. John Frakes, & farmer living in Fairbanks township, woo iu oui uioy on Wednesday un business. He is 65 years of age, hale and hearty, and quite an interesting old gentleman. One peculiar feature about Mr. F. is that he has never taken a ride on, or been on the inside of a railroad car was born in Vigo county in '24, moved with his parents in '31 to his present location and, with the exception of a visit to Jasper county, 111., has never set foot in any other county.
