The Republicans of Franklin County, Indiana, wit! meet at the Court House in Brookville t 10 o'clock a. . on Saturday of next week, February 5th, 13T0. HON. GEORGE VT. JULIAN, HON. BENJAMIN F. CLAYPOOL, JUDGE JEREMIAH M. WILSON, COL. NELSON TRUSLEli, He been nT,teil 10 present and address the Contention.

Bridge Over the East Fork at Brookville. The building of a bridge or bridges across the East Fork River at Hrookville, is the subject of considerable agitation just now. Whether there shall be one or two bridges teres that dangerous river at this place, to ircommodate the residents along the lines of tfce Oxford and Ml. Carmel roads, is a matter not yet decided. One bridge might be built with approaches to suit both roads, said bridge being located at the foot of Head Street, a short distance below Speers' Mill, about midway between the present crossings, and also near the center of the East side of town. If a bridge can be built at this central locality, and safe approaches be made to it, at a less cost than two bridges, of course it would bo economy on the part of the County to locate only one bridge, a but a single briJge wouM hve to be kept up after completion, and both ro&is would be accommodated. We suggest that a competent engineer be employed by the citizens interested, lo ascertain the probable cost of one bridge with its two approaches, and also the cost of two bridges, so that tax-payers atajknow what othtr csnkckssart fxtkxsk is likely to be footed by them under the auspices of our present economical, competent and ttutor'.hy Hoa:d of County Commissioners "over the left." Annual Taxes.

A recent telegram states that the parties on the rejected route of tke Louisville and Sandusky Hailroad have returned from Louisville, here ihey went to see what aid could be bad for the read. The Louisville people would be glad to have the road, but have all their money invested in roads in Kentucky. It is said that the committee now favor making the southern terminus of the road at tvansville, taking lluntsrille, Piqua, West Milton, Lewisburg and Eaton, Ohio, and Liberty, Brookville, Versailles, Seymour, Ac, on the new route. The committee believe the road will be a success. Brookville' College The Examination. lhe semi-annual examination of the pupils n Hrookville College took place during Thursday and Friday of last week. Classes were "mined by President John, Professor Dust in and Miss Xewkirk respectively, in the studies f Arith aietic, Geography, IOnglish Grammar, Algebra, Geometry. Physiology, Geology and '-'lie mist i y. L 5 fiords us p'easure lo say that ! tbese studies the examination evinced to spectator that the stu-l naJ t'P1' missives well to their books, ana tLat lb ttachers had been successful in their work of 'OKtuction. The younger pupils presented Pecimens of map drawing worthy of all praise. Aie spent most of two da ys in witnessing ft9e examinations, and felt it "good to be tksre," we regretted that so few parents were Present, tha! g0 few 0f ,jja friends and patrons f the College were there. It is to be hoped '"at hereafter the citizens of Brookville will Manifest in a more demonstrative manner their lllrry taste and their appreciation of this ell conducted institution in their midst. The c,tuens of Brookville and of the surrounding country owe it to themselves and to their childrn to sustain with energy all the interests of 'hisjoung and growing seminary of learning. L.

Five suits have been brought in the United States District Court at Indianapolis, by John Colter and John Beggs, distillers of Franklin County, against Gillet V. Stevenson, Collector of the Fourth District, to enjoin the collection cf a deficiency tax assessed against them for the months of September, October and November, 15?6S. The case was argued on Thursday of last week, on demurrer to the bill, by the District Attorney for the Collector, and Gordon & Truster for Colter & Beggs. The Erst question presented is, whether under section 19, act of March 2, I8GT, Congress has prohibited Courts from allowing injunctions in this class of cases; second, whether that section is constitutional; third, whether distillers, having paid the tax on all spirits actually produced, are subject to the payment of an additional sum under section 20, act of July 20, 1S63, computed upon the basis of forty-fire gallons of mash to one bushel of grain, that amount of grain representing, according to the survey of the distillery, 3J proof gallons of spirits. The question is an important one, and the decision of the Court will be looked for with interest. Suing Jt Kaiser, of the New York Store, are closing out their Winter Stock of Dry Goods at Bargains.

We arc having quite a variety of weather in this b cality. In the lst twenty-four hours it has been clear and cloudy, warm and cold rain, sleet, snow , mud and slush; and this is having its influence upon the benlth of our citizens. The good health which Blooming Urove Township is favored with generally , is interfered with by a number of persons being sick with Tneumcni: and Lung Fever and many others having severe "olds.

His toss will be felt in the church and in the community where he had so long resided. Jan. 25, tSTO. UPresiient Harrison's Grave. From the Lawreneeburg Tress. We understand that Senator Yeitman, State Senator representing part cf H;nittou County, in the Legislature of Ohio, has written to Rev. B. W.Chidlaw and Etward Hunt, asking what is partieularly desired by the friends of tioneral Harrison in this vicinity, to be done in the way of a monument and tmprovemcat of tie grounds where the tJener.il is buried, intimating that he wilt urge the-passage of a bill appropriating a sufficient sum to defray the expenses. We have no doubt but that our Legislature would join with that of Ohio in appropriating a sum sufficient to perform creditably so important a work, if the matter was urged upon its attention. It is really ashamethat the last resting place of one who in his time was so great a publio benefactor, should be at most unmarked. Let measures be taken without delay so that this shameful neglect of the memory of que so generally beloved may not be continued,

For the Indiana American. The Buzzards and the Crow. BT W. W. JlAGCla. 0, listen to vaj story Of the Battards and the Crow, Who thought they'd gain soma glory If t fighting they would go: Once the Banarda had a feast. And a dirty drunken revel, And so Crow said, at least. All conducted by the devil. It seemed rather bad To be talked about so, And tt made the Canards mad To be slander'd by the Crow; And, seeing that they all Were in a d 1 of a stew, They thought it best to call A meeting of the crew, That, in full deputation, They might devise some plan To save the reputation Of all the Buxxard elan; And fearing that defeat Might arise from delay, They thought it best to meet On the holy Sabbath day. The wise and knowing bird VTho was etectei to preside, With many a windy word Declined, and then complied. Brothers of the mystio tie," lie said, taking the chair, "You all know as well as I, All things must be done on the square." We have met to defend our name; An uttsupt has been made, at least. To cover it with lasting shame, On account of our late feast. Butiards! have we not a just right To all we wish, or please to do To sing, and dance, and drink all night, And ANOTHER L1TTLR TI11SQ OR TWO?" "We hatk," they said, "we will be free, And curses on the tattling Crow For telling that we chane'd to be, Just a little row co uk tou sol" They then dispers'd on eager flight. With angry thoughts about the foe; Each bird resolved to share the fight, Nor leave a feather ou the Crow! TercVd aloft, on airy nest. The Crow laugh'd out "haw, haw, haw! Go it, Buixardsl do your best, Caw, caw, aw, aw, caw, caw, cawl" Still perch'd aloft on airy nest, The Crow laughs out "haw, haw, haw t Ir roc don't kkkp still I'lltrll tbr rest; Caw, caw, aw, aw, caw, caw, caw!"

Terrible Crime. The Richmond Telegra.u contains a fall history of the terrible crime lately committed in Wayne County. Last October, a man catling hitnse-f Salmon ciao to Henry (1 ites', two miles west of Ccntorville, near Pin Hook, and with him was a woman apparently fifteen or twenty years his junior in age. They represented themselves as hasband and wi:'e, nnd he repeatedly stated that he was a United Brethren preacher, and did preach several sermons in the neighborhood. Ue further stated that they were going West into Illinois, to take charge of a new circuit assigned him, but owing to the feeble health of his wife ha tirrie I at i itei', and abjut three weeks ago the woman was delivered cf a child. She and her child di.l well for the eight days following, when the woman was taken violently ill, with strong symptoms of poison, and lingered until Fiiday night, the 20th inst. On the next day Mr. Salmon expressed the corpse to Tiqua, going with it. From Piqua, he sent it to Bodkin, in Shelby county, directed to Joseph and Elisabeth tiauiVert, anl SAlmon oau bncti to Cet--Tillo, and on that night was arrested at Henry Gates for the murder of his wife. On investigation, Mr. Salmon proves to bo the Rev. S. S. Walls, of Van Wert County, Ohio, and Mrs. Martha Salmon, bis wife, proves to be Miss Martha E. Lambert, da lighter of Josei h and Elizabeth Lambert, of Shelby County, Ohio. Walls is a man of about thirty-five years of age, a little above the medium height, black hair and eyes, full beard, and dressed in a suit of respectable black. He would p:ss anywhere as an itinerant preacher of more than ordinary intelligence and culture. He has been a minister of the U. B. Church for many years, in good standing. He left an excellent wife and three or four children in Van Wert County, Ohio, to run off with a girl he had ruined, and for whose death, whet her she died by disease or by his hand, he is morally re sponsible. He is now in jail at Centervllle awaiting trial. Married. At the rcsidenco of tho bride's parents, A. Raridcn Esq., Jan. 27, 1S70, at 6 p. M., by Rev. F.S.Turk, Mr. Elmore R. Cunningham to Miss Jenet Rariden,all of Franklin Co., Indiana. "There are smiles and tears in that gathering band Where the heart is pledged with the trembling hand; What trying thoughts in the bosom swell, As the bride bids parcuts nnd home farewell; Kneel down by the side of tho tearful fair, And strengthen the perilous hour with prayer. A Rogue Elephant in Connersville. On Friday last about three o'clock, and during the absence of the keeper, Frank Nash, the elephant Jenny Lind, belonging to the Van Ainburgh Meragerie, now wintering in this city, determined to free herself from bondage and exhibit herself free of charge. Her first performance was to try, if it were possible, to upset the building in which she was confined, but finding she was unable to push the solid masonry trom its foundation, seiied the Zebra which stood in i Close proxiuiiij ami aeuocraieij iiimju mgiii- , fncd -Mt oupf Ms suU wUh hef tTnk helll him noised in mid air, then dashed him violent ly to the ground; not satisfied, one of the Sacred Cattle shared tho same fate. Everything was in the wildest eoufusion; lions, tigers, and all the wild beasts terrific t by her unusual fury, made the building echo with roars and yells, trying to butst their bars and escape. Mr. Winner, the lion tamer, tried both by coaxing and threatening, to pajity her Majesty until the return of her keeper, "but without success, and at one time Mr. Winner says she maie her chains ting like a harp string. If she had succeeded in escaping she wenld instantly have demolished the dens containing the animals, and the damage they would have done in the surrounding country could not be realized. Word was instantly sent to her j keeper, Mr. Nash, ani he arrived on the scene just in time, tier uoyal ingnness was so ounueu by her rage, she did n t recogaiia him as usual bv hia footstep, bat tho moment she heard his vcice, and accompanied by his terrible spear, he F . . . ) ft.. .h m. a ,1 .. ft a enli!.rtli.n .All k ftft IT4I11. bled and begged for mercy uust pitiably.

Three Children Burned to Death. Aboat two miles West of .Brownsville, this eounty, on last Thursday afternoon a casualty occurred at the details of which the heart sickens. A Mrs. Vansickle, wife of Thos. Van sickle, went to pay a short visit to one of her neighbors. Before going, however, she went to the barn where her husband was at work and requested him to come and stay with the children while she was gone. Ue complied with her request; but after staying with the children a short time he went back to his work. - Shortly afterwards he discovered the roof of the house in flames. Th father arrived in time to save the baby from burning to a crisp, but it died before midnight. The other two children perished in the flames and their charred and crisped remains were taken from the debris piece by piece. The eldest of these children was five years. This is certainly the most heart sickening casualty that has occurred in this region for many years. Liberty Uerald.

Indiana Items. The street boys of Terre Haute beguile their time with hen racing. A. Hart, of fiainbridge County, is seven feet six inches hiiih. The Connersville Times says that Democrats ia that locality are supporting Julian for the nomination. Henry iSuiith. an insane man confined in a small building, adjoining the house of his son, near Corydon, committed suicide, on the 20th inst., by hanging himself. In a swamp, near Walkertoo, ou Tuesday, a man known as the "old German doctor" was. found dead, from intoxication and exposure it was thought. A child, about ten years old, daughter of John Donahue, keeper of the toll-gate on the Mount Sterling pike, about ten miles from Winchester, was drowned on Friday night, by falling into a barrel of water. The post-office at Muncie was broken into on Tl.urs.day night. The safe was broken into, aud many letters rifled. But little money was secured. The thieves entered through the wiudow. They are supposed to be the same gang which gutted the Kokomo post-office. Sylvester Deeds, who killed Deputy Sheriff James Fitzwithaus some weeks ago. was convicted of manslaughter, iu the Gibson Circuit Court, and awarded 6tx years iu the penitentiary. The verdict took many people by surprise. The family or Thomas Westlake, at Stock well, was badly poisoned, ou the lath inst., by colchicum, which had been mixed with their coffee. JMrs. Westlake went to the drug store for 6ome blach mustard, but colchicum was sent by mistake and ground in the coffee-mill, preparatory to being used as a poultice. About two miles from Plymouth, ou Thursday, a fatal accident happened to Ilcury McFarland, who, in company with another, wis felling troes. One, in its descent, struck a small sapling, causing it to rebound. In doing so it struck McFarland, crushing his skull and causing instant death. He was a single man, of good repute. Henry Drake, of Nevada City, Missouri, on recently beholding a young lady of Uti-ing Sun, was struck with love at first sight. He carried her heart by storm, aud was about to carry her off clandestinely by the mail boat, when the Mayor of the city appeared on the bank of the river and proceeded to iuterview him. The result was a mattcr-of fact mcrriagc thiee days after. An American eagle was killed, a few days ago, near Chili, Miami County, of which the Peru Sentinel says: "It measured six feet eight inches from 'tip to tip.' Its beak and claws looked like some immense grappling irons, and the muscles of its legs and wings exceeded anything we ever saw or heard of, within the same measure. It could have carried off a lamb, or a shotc, or a b&hy, with as much ease as a sparrow could carry off a fishworui." William Shannon, sr., living three miles northwest of Cliutou, committed suicide one day last week, by shooting himself. The day before he was found out in the woods by one of his neighbors, by the side of a big log, nearly frozen. When asked why he was there, he replied that he had heard doctors say that freezing to death was the easiest way a person could die. His neighbor told him he must get up and go along to the bouse, but he lefuscd, and would not go until forced to. On Sunday night, at Evansville, a man by the name of James Heady shot and killed a man by tho name of Monroe Holt. The affair occurred about 8 o'clock in the evening. Both were steamboat bauds. An old grudge existed between them. Holt ran a short distance after being shot, and fell dead. The offender was not arrested. ... The Kev. E. P. Hammond's meetings at Evansville are being well attended, and he is creating some excitement in religious circles in that city. The revivals are going on in many of the churches, but the greatest excitement is at the Ingle Street M. E. Church, under the pastoral care of the lie v. James Hill. Up to Monday seventy had united with that church. The revival is still going on, and the meetings will be contiuued the present week. A woman by the name of Bin, who lives in Itusstaville, ten miles west of Ko konio, was shot in the side and through the arm on Monday night about 9 o'clock. She had gone out of the house for a load of wood, when some person shot her. Suspicion points to her husband, as they had been separated for some time. She can not recover. She leave? a small family. Great excitement prevails, nnd search is being made for her husband, ns he disappeared Monday night. The remains of Miss Susan Beavicr, formerly of Warsaw, were brought there on Tuesday from Plymouth. She died suddenly at that place on Monday, and her friends,, having reason to beliovo that bug.

bad been foully dealt with, had a Coroner's inquest tnipost mortem examination held upon her. It was proved that an abortion was produced. A physician and a prominent citizen of Plymouth are suspected of having some connection with it. The case excites much interest. . On Monday evening, about 5 o'clock, George P. Bochner, an old man, a resident of Evansville, jumped from the steamer Fanny Braudeis into the river, with suicidal intent. He was rescued from death by themate cf the steamer Rose Uite, and a negro who happened to be near at the tin). This is the third attempt he has made on his own life.
