A Commendable Benevolence. Beginning on Monday next a day nursery will be established in Greencastle, at the residence of Mr. James Taylor, on East Seminary street. The object is to care for and nourish, and give attention to the culture of the babies and young children of parents who, by reason of their avocations in life, cannot give their little ones the attention they desire they should have. Mr. James Taylor has donated the use of his place and the management of the nursery devolves on the Board of Managers, which consists ot Mrs. J. H. Hollingsworth, Mrs. J. R. Miller, Mrs. A. T. Kelley, Mrs. H. C. Allen, Mrs. Silas

Putnam Circuit Court.

Monday last was the first day of the April Term of Putnam Circuit Court, Judge McGregor presiding. The docket is about an average one, consisting of 46 State cases, 40 probate causes and 82 civil causes. Of the State cases two are for seduction,

one for rape,three for embezzlement, (missed two for perjury, one for larceny, and Franklin P. Wright vs. Eliza Pickthe others are mostly.tor violations ett et al., title quieted, of the liquor laws; on the civil | Arena F.

with Miss Lizzie Ames as President. The business office of the Board is to he located at the residence of Mr. Taylor, and one or more of the ladies will be there to give personal attention to the management at all times, and this fact gives earnest that the nursery will he elficiently and carefully looked after, and it will doubtless prove a great blessing to many parents and children. In connection with this day nursery the managers will establish an intelligence ofilce for the purpose of securing w T ork for the unemployed and supplying labor to those who

wish to employ it.

The scheme* in its entirety, is a worthy one, and we hope to see it prove a great success and a great

blessing to all concerned.

During the coming summer the school grounds of Cincinnati will be used as playing grounds tor children. It is also proposed to provide sand piles for the children to roll in. AN EVEN THING.

A Duel In a Dark Doom - Roth Men Droved t owards. It has been said that all men are cowards in the dark, and there is doubtless some truth in the statement. A correspondent of the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat cites an instance in illustration. Two officers of the British army in India had a difficulty which resulted

in a duel.

The colonel, the challenged party, was an old campaigner who had won his laurels in the ('rimeaand was a most gallant soldier. The choice of weapons being his, lie named pistols, and elected that the affair should occur in a dark

room.

e secured a room 20 feet square.

As per promise made by one of Greencastle’spracticioners at the bar last year, he forwarded to a brother attorney resident at Brazil who has recently perfected a palatial residence, a collection of trees, vines, etc., to beautify and fructify his

yard. When they arrived at Brazil I Ka V K the mirrator of the incident, they were a joy to he who received, | closed every crevice that would admit and he immediately secured a colored. light, placed our men in corners dicitizen, his son, aiid a hired man to' ogonally opposite, and withdrew, dig the holes and set out the dona- Each man was provided with three tion under his personal superGsion, c , s llI1(1 v , hen these wcjv exhaustSi Sg STSUTSS 1 - bi h :s: r' * ^ —-

heartily than ever, but lie never 1 smiled a smile; he is somewhat diffident in referring to the matter, but insists that the front yard is the place for raspberries, because they can sit on the front porch and keep the boys from stealii:<f the berries. A charming afternoon reception was given by Mrs. J. B. DeMotte, Mrs. Washburn and Mrs. Case, on last Wednesday. The parlors, dining room, etc., were tastefully garnished with cut flowers, and the affair was a social success in every particular. The hostesses were assisted by Mesdames Florer, Baker, Lammers, Birch, Miller, Beckett, Ogg, Hollingsworth, Tingley and Southard, and Misses Belle Hanna, Grace Birch, Olive Miller, Mary Birch, Blanche Swahlen, Ruth Baker, Helen Black and Edna Arnold. The refreshments were delicious and daintily served, and the guests pronounce the afternoon one of unusual pleasure and enjoyment. The City Council met on last Tuesday night, with Councilman Perkins absent. It was announced that there was a vacancy for election inspector in the east precinct of the third ward, and two candidates for the place were proposed—D. L. Anderson and Patrick Donohue; the latter was elected by the votes of Messrs. Bridges, Rand el and Riley, and then there were several noses out of joint. The only other business of importance was the adoption of the claim

ordinance.

On Tuesday night a burglar bold forced an entrance into the residence of J. D. Stewart, and helped himself to a gold watch before his presence was discovered by Mis. Stewart, who awoke because of the fumes of sulphur matches which the thief had been burning to obtain light to operate by. When she called to ask “who is there,” the thief skipped in a somewhat hasty manner, and he has not yet been found. Pupils of Miss Rutledge gave a recital at the residence of Dr. Gobin, on Tuesday evening. The program consisted of numbers rendered by Misses Hazel Bridges, Alma Beals Gobin, Flossie Kelley, Nellie Bowen, Helen Black and May Dillon, all of which were e-xlitably rendered. Do not mink because you have only a cheap watch that you must take it to a poor workman. Shipley, the expert watchmaker, will charge you no more for repairing your cheap watch than you would have to pay a poor workman. The electric light reducer in front of the Model became overcharged and was burned out, on Monday night no harm resulted save that some of the incandescent lamps

went out.

Dr. E. Shipley, the expert optician, is now grinding all of his lenses, and as this is one of the great sciences, persons are admitted to his factory at any time. Miss Shepard, of Grand Rapids, Mich., who has been visiting C. H Cunningham and wife, returned to her home on Wednesday. S. B. Vancleave’s favorite pony fell into his well, a few days nights ago. and when discovered the animal

was dead.

Miss Queen Allen is sick.

stomach in the other.”
