They also visited I he residence of Mr. Iole during the same tii;ht, relieving that family of several watches and a small amount of money. There is no clue to the perpetrators of these robberies. Our quiet town people, during the last eight weeks, have beeji devoting a liberal share of their lime to religious interests, and the result lias been that many have turned from transgression and sin to seek the pearl of great price.'" Our friends of the M. Ii. Church having held meetings everv night since lite Week of l'rayer, a"d often during llie day, th- membership have been revived and sit tiers converted. About one hundred and ten have uniied with ihe church, and about forty of them, we undeislai.d, are married men and women; some whole families joit.ing together, and also many of cur prominent ciiizens-. The larger portion that have united with the church have been happily converted. The work has been very remai table the most powerful one that has eer been known in Harrison. There has been no excitement ; probably less than usual for this people. A lare number of the Sabbath School children united with the chuich. I5y the way, allow uie to speak of this Sabbalh School. Having visised a!! in the place, I tind the M. E.

The religious interest is not confined to the M. E. Church, for all the Churches have caught the same spirit, and there is every prospect of tie work continuing. The Christian Church we believe have had some thirty or foity accessions, and the Frcshy tcrians some ceven or eight. YVe ptay

The Pearl St. House, without the least change of name, place or proprietors, is still doing a thriving business in the Hotel line. The house is well orderedand in good condition, rooms first class, and the table bountifully supplied. We wilt call again. Spring Styles. Mrs. Wisnsan would respectfully announce to the Ladies that she witl soon open a new assortment of Millinery Goods for the coming season. Bridal B onsets and Wreaths in splendid variety. Bonnets made to order at short notice, and warranted to give satisfaction. Give her a call. Ttle Factory. Messrs. Jacob P. Blazier and David D. Bassett are putting up a tile factory a short distance East of Colter's Corner, and expect to be ready in the Spring to manufacture all sizes of round tile. They are old hands at the business, and we wish them much success in this enterprise. A Young Rascal. A young man who has heretofore borne a good character for honesty, and whose name we shall not mention, was a few weeks ago, to our certain knowledge, guilty of a most flagrant act of real downright stealing, which singularly enough has escaped the attention of our vigilant officers. He went into a house not many miles from this place, in the country, and stole a parcel of clothes, j chiefly petticoats belonging .to a young lady. 1 One circumstance, however, connected with the ! - i. -.i v- ii .- r i transaction might possibly shield him from cr.m- j inal prosecution, and that is, the young lady ' herself happened at the time to be in the petti coats. The wretched scamp. Uncle T;u. Fairfield Mills. Messrs. Brown Jt Best, of Fairfield, have been running their mills steadily all this Winter, and continue to have all the custom work they can do. Their flour is extensively used in this community, being considered equal to the very best for family use. These gentlemen rank among our most enterprising millers, having improved their mills by replacing the overshot wheel with two turbine wheels, and also having the best bolting cloths. They w.vrr.mt thair flour to give satisfaction. Messrs. Brown Jt Best also run a sawmill in connection with their Hour mills, and are able to famish a'.l kinds of lumber.' Oak Forest Items. We have a Lyceum, as all intelligent people should. The last proposition discussed was, '-lies.dvel that Conscieuoe is an innate principle." j Our Lyoetm is also made interesting by lectures ! by Hon. A. B. Liue. He gave us a very useful one on Interest Itcv. Mr. Whituiorc held a protracted meeting j here, in which he gave evidence of his zeal for j the salvation of souls and the glory of God, by j his persevering efforts under the most utifavora- i ble cit vumstaoces. He is an able, earnest am-! bassador for t hrist. And although there were no ' conversions nor accessions to the Church, great guod has been accomplished. Eternity alone cia reveal the extent of the work. The Church j has been revived and is in a fair way for doing good. j Mr. K. P. Torce was in the midst of a course j of lessons in Penmanship when the protracted j meeting began. He and his school showed their ; respoet for tl:o oaueo of Christ by suspending the : school during the meeting. He has a good school, j and is doing a good work in his line. He teaches , the principles of writing so clearly that they ' will not easily be forgotten bv those who attend. Mr. Force is thoroughly qualified to teach. He is master of the sita ition. Su-ieess to his eiVorts. Hon. A. B. Line is teihing ojt Pablia School. The school is very largely attended. I think the range is from fifty to eighty scholars in attendance, and over one huudicd in the district. Oak Fokkst. Railroad Meeting at Oldenburg. OtuKSBt Kii, Indiana, February 21, l70.

Brown opened a store out West, when the country was new, in a little town called Palestine; and in order to book every body into trade, he offered to treat every one who bought anything at his store. Money being pretty scarce, there was a good deal of barter going on in those days. So Sam Jones called into the grocery and dry goods store of Mr. Brown and asked fcr a darning-needle, offering in exchange an egg. After receiving the needle, Jones -said: "Come, ain't you going to treat?" "What! on that trade?" Certainly; a trade's a trade, let it be big or little." "Well, what will you take?" "A glass of wine," said Jones. The wine was poured out, when Jones said, "Would it be asking too much to request you to put an egg in the wine? Iam very fond of wine and egg." .Appalled by the man's meanness, the storekeeper took the identical egg which he had received for the darning-needle, and handed it to his customer, who, on breaking it, discovered that it contained a double yolk." "Look here!" said the tponge, "don't you think you ought to give me anothsr darning-needle? this, you see, is a double yolk!" Uncle Tom. Tribute of Respect.

Brother James Washington Maxwell was born ia Fayette County, Kentucky, on the 9th of March, 1790; moved and settled near Richmond, Indiana, in 1303 ! ' i and was one of those enterprising pioneers who left the homes of their childhood to ; seek new ones in the wilderness, and by j his patient industry and labor contributed his full share in improving the country for the benefit of coming generations. ...... " ltlle poets may unite and sing the praises of statesmen and military chieftains, we should ever remember that it is to the honest pioneer like Brother Maxwell that we are indebted for our homes, and our civil ! and religious liberty being maintained and handed down to us. j Brother Maxwell married his first wife, j Kesiah Fleming, at New Tarts, Ohia, on j the 8th of April, 1813. and lived happily with her until the 31st of June, 1321, i when she was taken from him by death,' leaving lam with a lamily ot small children to mourn their loss. He served his country one year in the War of 1812 six months for himself, and six months as a substitute during which time he was stationed at Fort Greenville,' in Darke County, Ohio. At the expiratioq j of his term of service he returned home ! and resumed his labor for the support of; his family. i On the 21th of August, 1825, he married his second wife, whose maideu uame was 1'ermelia Ward. lu lfe28 he became a member of the j Masonic Order at Eaton, Ohio. lie af-' terwards became a R ival Arch Mason, and I was elected to the Order of llih Triest-i hood, and instituted the Chapter r at Conof which, nersville, Indiana, the members in rrateful remembrance of his fidelitv and ze,l for the Order named it "Max-: Wfli C hapter." lie afterwards became a member of the Encampment now located j ut vamuriuge wty, Indiana, He rcm.iveil to Brookvilie ia February, 1 So I, since hich time he has in a Jo this his home. On the llth of June, 187)1, his second wife dieJ, after which he resided with his son, George L Maxwell, in Htook ville, where he connected hints At' with the Presbyterian Church. He departed this 1 f e at the redence ol Ins son t.eorne, at 11 o'clock V. M. on ! Saturday the oth of February, lSTO,! acd ID years, 11 months and 17 days.) leaving to survive him his sons George F. i aud Thomas F. Maxwell.

His work was well done, his trust was in (iol, and his Faith was well founded. His hopes of a blessed imtn irtalitv are realized. B. GUAIX WASTED VT tha Warehouse near the Depot.
