George R. Wendling will pive the first of the High School lectures Thursday night at Masonic hall. Do not fail to hear him.

Mrs. H. B. Thayer returned last night from Greencastle. She reports her grandson George, who has the typhoid fever there, as no better. Hi* father, Maj. E. P. Thayer, who went down Saturday night on his weekly visit, is still there.

George Hoppes, the butcher, met with a painful accident this morning while cutting down a beef. He was holding a quarter in his right arm and cutting with his left hand, when the knife slipped, striking him on the nose, almost severing that member from his face.

Mrs.Lane and her ^brother, Mr. McKee, of Knightstown, whom she has been visiting, are here todav visiting Mrs. Eliza Peck at C«pt, E. P. Thayers'. The ladies are sisters-in-law. They will yisit Mrs. G. W. Souders southwest of the city before their return. Mrs. Lane has been in China for a number of years with her son who is a missionary there.

Dr. Adams, the attending physician, informs us that Mrs. Ben Rains, aged sixty years, is down with diphtheria. This the doctor says is the oldest person he has ever treated for this disease. Mrs, Rains, it will be remembered, is the grandmother of little Lena Walker, and has be'^n at her bedside constantly during hei1 illness with this dreaded disease until Monday, when she wenc home sick with the above result.

There seems to be a "Peeping Tom" in Greenfield, at least numerous?reports are in circulation about an individual of this character, who almost nightly is heard from in some part of the city. On Monday night he visited the residence oL Mr. Baldwin, on South street, who is employed at the paper mill, and when Mrs. Baldwin, who found^occasion to open the back door saw him crouched down by the window, she almost fainted but regained sufficient to see the scoundrel make up the alley by Jeffrie'8 livery barn. She describes hitn aa a tall siim man wearing a long overcoat or ulster. It will not be good for him if the boarders at this house gets bold of him.

The fact that the Presbyterian church is securing two lecturers here should not detract from the interest in the High School course. The High School course should be made to succeed by the liberal support and patronage of a general public. The city needs a loetura course each year and the High School nnnaj:ement gives ns orie whereby no one reaps any pecuniary reward, as ail the profit-:, in case there are any, go to the library fund of the High School lind will be used in buyiDg new books. So toon as the new building is ready for uee a room will be set apart for a pubiic library that will be of great advantage and profit to our people. Do not let our interest lag in the lecture course that is especially for the interest and good of the general public.

The Bar Docket Illustrated. The bar docket issued by the Democrat for this term of 'lourfc contains some new features. It had an illustration of the court-house and good sized pictures of Judge C. G. Offntfc, Clerk A. V. B. Sample, Sheriff W. H. Pau'ey, and John L. McNew, deceased. The pictures of the bar, with the exception of vo, were given in a group. It is a very neat affair. There are now 28 members of the bar here, and it will compare favorably with that of any other bar in the State of its size.

ROBBERIES.

Two Mouses Eutereil By Thieves Sunday jS'ijrht. Sunday night sueak thieves entered the house of Jackson Wilis aud stole $2 38 from his pants pocket, but considerately left him some money in his vest. Uncle Jack said if they get in again they will have to make some noise.

At James L. Mitchell's a new coat and vest and a pair of shoes were taken, but no money. The thieves were not experts or they could have gotten more at each place.

At A. K. Branham's they had a window partially raised, but the noise awoke the major, who, upon getting up, scared them away.

Two tramps were seen in the city last night, but the work may have been done by home talent. Robberies are becoming entirely too common.

Whipped His Wife.

Albert Webb, a glass blower, is said to have whipped his wife Saturday night and to have left town today. He suspected her of being too intimate with other men, and in fact is said to have shied a brick at a man whom he saw rapidly disappearing from his domicile Monday morning. He came here from New Albany recently.

ONE DOLLAR PER TEAR

A VERY "SUCK" WOMAN

FLEECES 'SQCIKE LA Kill BEE, OF CA.JKROLI/TON, OCT OF 835.00.

She Sccures the Money, Bids the 'Squire Good Bye, and Leaves at Once for Indiauapolig.

A stylishly dressed woman, wearing the finest of silks and satin, and a fashionably attired "son," from nowhere in particular, "worked" one of Hancock county's citizens for $25 last Friday. The couple were slick talkers and displayed considerable money, which happened to be in large bills. They approached 'Squire Larribee at his home and informed fiim that they wished to purchase a farm. Mr. Larribee was willing to sell one of his^farms and it was not long until a sale was made. After the deal the "son" left for Indianapolis, but the woman concluded to spend the night with Mr. Larribee and family and return to Indianapolis next morning to make arran cements for her lawyer to come out and fix up the papers. Next morning before leaving for the station at Carrollton, the woman produced a $100 bill and asked the 'Squire to change it for her, as she did not like to display so much money before strangers, and, that she did not suppose they could change it at the depot. Mr. Larribee did not have that amount of change about him, and the woman suggested that if he could let her have $25 or $30 until she came back to sign up the papers in the land sale, it would save her much trouble and annoyance. The unsuspecting 'Squire produced $25 and gave it to the woman, who immediately left for Indianapolis. It it hardly nece&snry to add that the woman has failed to show up to close the real estate deal.
