reporter had the good fortune to see Fox Bros., of Reelsville, and their threshing outfit, at work on the McKinley farm a few days ago. These gentlemen are experts at the work and are fast achieving a most enviable reputation throughout this section of the state. They do their work quickly and thoroughly, having threshed as high as 1,600 bushels in a single day, in 1S9:’» they threshed over 3.‘5,000 bushels of wheat with one machine and will almost reach that figure this year. They pride themselves on the quick and clever manner in which they get to work on a job and the neat and rapid manner they get away when through. One clay not long since, while threshing in the Wabash bottoms, they pulled up stakes, hitched to the thresher and was under motion in the miraculously fast time of 58 seconds. This only goes to show what practice and close attention to business can accomplish, especially if you have good machinery to work with.

The concert given at St. Paul’s Church, Sunday night, by the choir, under the direction of Miss Jennie Maloney, assisted by Miss Jennie and Clara O’Donnell, of Indianapolis, and Messrs. Henry Werneke, Chan. Leuteke and Will Grooms, of this city, was a pleasing artistic success, and was listened to with wrapt attention by the very large audience present. Every number was well rendered and deserving of especial mention, did space permit. The hope is expressed that tliis concert is only the forerunner of a series that will prove equally successful and meritorious.
810 for Shooting a Follow.
The New Maysville neighborhood was here in force, on Monday, to attend to the trial of the State vs Albert Key’, who was charged with assault and b atery, etc. The ease is fresh in the minds of our readers Key shot constable Bowsman when he attempted to arrest him for drunkenness and disturbing the peace. For a time it was thought that the wounds inflicted would prove serious, but Bowsman soon recovered, to all outward appearance, but he yet complains of the ill effect of the wound. During the trial a large number of witnesses were examined, and much interest was manifested; Key was adjudged guilty and a fine of $10 and costs was assessessed against him and lie was also required to give bond to keep the peace for the next
ensuing twelve months. Corner Stone Laying.
On Tuesday afternoon as per previous notice, the ceremonis attendant upon the laying of the corner stone of the new Christian Church took
