The report of counties concerning the temperanca work were very Interesting, indicating tho progress of the movement throughout the State. Taken as a whole, tfie reports are very encouraging, and show that the progress made by the crusaders, II not entirely satisfactory, has been suflicient to justify a continuance of their efforts with some degree of prospect of final success: at least t a the way of abating the evil to siderable extent. They indicate thst there is being created a decided public sentiment gainst the traffic In spirituous lienors; that those who have heretofore been indif ferent on the subject, though not advocates of intemperance, are being aroused to a consideration of the subject, and an espousal of the cause; and hat thousands of persons addicted to the -vice, togther with the venders of the liquor, tare been converted to the -cause of of temperance. It Is true in. many places the ladies have met with many discouragements, and have not had any -visible fruits ot their efforts, but in these localities the ladies manifest a determination to fight the foe to the last, let the battle wage as it will. The following counties reported through the delegates mentioned, each one being limited to a five minutes' speech: Murinn nnntv- Mrs- Hawev. Indianapo

The committee on rw-olitions, through their chairman, Mr. Martindale, submitted the following report: We recognize the presence and guidance ot the Almighty in the recent wonderful and unequalled success ot the temperance f irm in our own State and yocr sister State, Ohio, and also throughout the nation and the world, especially in leading forth tte "devout and honorable" women ot the laud to toil so successfully in this department of reform; and we most devoutly aoturn our sincere gratitude to tho giver ot all good, in whom alone we trust for success, for the wonderful answers to prayer tbat he has so mercifully given to bis people, in the general awakeniDg and advancement of a healthy temperance sentiiment, the enforcement of temperance laws, the destruction of saloons and the reformation of inebriate?. And we also record, and thns publicly express, our gratitude to the Almighty for the recent success of temperance In the vote rebuking and defeating the licensed protection of the awtul crime of making drunkards, in the election in Ohio. We also with gratitude, courage, and confideuce, re-consecrate our hearts and lives to the important issues thrust upon us in our own Ktate, preferring to grapple with a known and visible foe rather than with one that hides away Irom view and, fiend-like, strikes its deadly blows in dark and unexpected places. Therefore resolved 1. That we gratefully and heartily endorse the "Farmers' Temperance Movement." 2. That we will not cease to pray to and trust in the Almighty lor success. 3. That while we trust in divine aid, we also pledge ourselves to employ all our talent and influence, in co-operation with all who toil for reform, in carrying this great work to a final and successful issue. 4. That we endorse the central features of our present law, known as the Baxter law, and pledge ourselves to unite with and support all persons, irrespective of party in politics or opinion in religion, who will aid in sustaining and improving said law in the next session of the State Legislature. 5. Tbat in order to sustain the law, we recommend that at least one cou nty temperance meeting be held in each county, and, as far as possible, one also in each township and ward throughout the State. 6. That this State convention set apart a day belore the State election for humiliation, fasting and prayer to Almighty God for His blessing and guidance. 7. W e especially request every gospel minister in the State to preach at least one temperance sermon betöre the State election. 8. We recommend the general circulation of the paper known as the "New Temperance Era," which has been adopted as our State temperance campaign paper; also, that suitable temperance literature be circulated in the Sunday schools of the State, and that after due preparation the temperance pledge be circulated. 9. That the timidity and cowardice of so many of. the so-called temperance people is the greatest impediment to the success ot the temperance cause. 10. Resolved, That while it is true that law can not be enforced without an approving public sentiment, yet it is also true that good and wholesome laws exert a great Influence in forming and developing public . sentiment, and for this reason the State is responsible in a large degree for the morals of the citizens. 11. That the demand that license to sell liquors against the will of the majority Is a glaring violation of the genius of the American government, which provides that the majority shall rnle. 12. Tbat we will not sustain for any office, especially for the Stale Legislature, any man who is opposed to our views relative to temperance legislation. The resolution was then adopted, and afterward the remaining ones were taken up and adopted without iurthcr comment, this in the lorm of law, and in accordance with the representative spirit of our institutions. We entered in the field with God and truth on our aide. We have no fear of the issne. We can holdall the ground we win, and we can push our advance posts forward as rapidly as our strength will permit. I am confi dent this convention can not do a better thing than to adopt unanimously, or with but one desseutiDg vote, the resolution just read. Mr. Martindale said, I think we ought to do unanimous. We are in the face or a foe that says this is a prohibitory law. It is a question to-day, between licensQ and prohibititlon, and for us to be divided is to defeat ourselves upon the field in the presence of the foe. I am sorry that brother Goodwin ha9 uttered a word against the resolution. It seems we ought not to discuss it in the face of the foe, who call it prohibition and are clamoring to have in is law repealed. 31r. Barges?, president of tho North

western University, enld: I perfectly agree with Brother Goodwin In the sentiment expressed, but I Co not believe he has got the spirit of the revolution. I understand it

A DOWNWARD COURSE FIRST FARMER, THEN LAWYER, NEXT FORGER, AND LASTLY A ALLEGED HORSE-THIEF ARREST OF JOHN C. ADKISSON AN EXCITED COMMUNITY OF GRANGERS. Washington township was excited Thurs day. The rural inhabitants have not bad so much sport as they enjoyed at the Hammond farm since their last fox drive. The occasion was the return 01 J onn j. aukisson, attorney at law and a lormer partof J. S. Harvey in the ner practice of the law. To begin at the start. Mr. A. was a few years ago an honest farmer (apparently at least). Wearying of this he took to law, and by gradual steps to forgery, and, as it would seem, has graduated finally as a first class horse thief. He was indicted last spring ior lorgmg me name ot his wife to two notes, and a history of his career was given at the time in the Sentinel. It is unnecessary to state more now, than that Adkisson came hero some years ago from the South, with a limited supply ol money and an unbounded assortment of cheek. The last named commodity he used to beguile the affections of a" Mrs. Lizzie Weiand. living upon an 30,000 ftrin near Fall creek with her children, who, with herself, were the heirs of the homestead. Things went along as smoothly with the Adventurer as they could under the rather discouraging attentions of his growing, and now able-bodied, step-sons, who showed a penchant for prowling around after their dear step-father WITH SHOT GUNS and things, and not without good reason if all that is charged against him is true. Affairs went on thus until Adkisson was detected in having lorged his wife's name to notes held by U. P. Hammond and Mr. Mansur, and an indictment was iound against him in consequence. Before he could be arrested he skipped the country, nor has he been seen since, until yesterday afternoon. He was then found in an ice bouse near his wife's house, north ot the city, and one of bis loving step-sons at once ran for his shot gun and aroused the neighborhood. The former light of the Marion county bar now began to think it time to take to the woods, but tor the want ot any soch sylvan retreat, took to an adjoining corn field. The Washington township grangers bad, however, begun to gather in bv this time. and surrounding the place, they at last capin rea me iugitive a iter an exciting time by closing in much in the style of a fox drive. Word was sent to Bailiffs Brown and Horton, of the sheriff's office, who went out to the place where Adkisson was captured and . brought to the county jail, in which he is now incarcerated. A number of fine horses have been stolen from time to time in the Weiand neighborhood, the last of which belonged to William Weiand, and was stolen on the 30th inst. The bridle with which the animal was taken off was found in Adkisson s possession yesterday and the opinion of the neighbors is unanimous to the effect tbat tbat individnal has been!doing the stealing. A number ot these came to town with him and consoled him with remarks that he was "sure.to go up now,," that there wasn't any more chince ot him living with the widder arter all this," and one rough-looking rustic recalled tcaiind to the nnfortunate in his hour of defeat tbat he had. years ago, perjured himself in a sheep stealing case, from which it is inferred that the prisoner was not remarkably popular in nis neignuornooa oeiore he left to avoid arrest. Henry M. Stanley, Livingstone's discover er, left London on the 15th Inst, tobein bis perilous exploration of Africa a work I which U to last probably for t wo years.

PASTORAL PERILS.

MINISTERS AND WOMEN. THIS DANQOCS INCLINATIONS OF THB TWO cxasmhs Compared bomb illustrative EXAMPLES FROM HIsrORY. The New York World contains the follow ing editorial on the above subject of general discussion: Twocl out contemporaries, the Herald and the Evening Post, are now en gaged in a desperate wrestle with each other, and with the intrinsic dimcnlties or a most formidable soctat problem. me ques tion is to decide, i a tho first place, whether women are most in danger rrom me wickedness of ministers, or ministers from the wickedness i women; and having settled this point, then to fix upon some sure and practicame contrivances in iae way ui moral police, which, by protecting women against tb insidious advances of ministers, and ministers against the enticing wiles of women, may put at rest the anxieties ana iignien me cures i iuv third sex of mere men, the virtue and happi ness of which kve for some time past oeen the helpless sport of the otbr two grand divisions of humanity. The Evening Post, with a gallarttry which does credit to the venerabl poet wno presiaes over us col umns, will not hear a word in disparagement or the tarr sex. mis aunuue ot me Evening Post is the more admirable in its editor that in me course a nis profound nd persistent study of tue clas sics, ana earucuianv or nomer. u inum have familiarized mmseii wun me names oi not a lew notable ladies, paragons an the it of erace and of beauty, with whom it would hatdlv have been safe for a suscep tible vounsr divine to hold much spiritual converse in Becluded spots. Such was she, for example, whom even the wise t'lysses feared, classing her with the Spoils of opportunity And daughters of the game." If there was one Grecian Helen who discov ered tbe true cross and illuminated christ endom with her piety, there was another drecian Helen who made a grander .and more WIDE-RKHOUND1NO SCANDAL in her day than even tbe ,,snw-white" Elizabeth" of the Brooklyn Iliad. And it is a melancholy tact that Helen, the saint and empress, had so little confidence either 4n ber own sex or in the clergy, or in both, that to this day women are not permitted to enter the crypt of the very Basilica which is -consecrated to the memory of the createst relieious achievement of this illus trions Chistian lady! It must be admitted. too, that, from tbe days of Joseph of Egypt down to those of Joseph Andrews, history is full of examples which msy well inspire a voting and good-looking clergyman to re member with Troilus. "That Bomethlnsc may be done, that we will not; And some time we are devus to oumives, When we will tempt the frailty of our powers Presuming on their changeful potenry." The Evening Tost, however, is no doubt wise as well as chivalric ia maintaining that the only real safeguard alike of women and ot ministers is their own selfrespect. That lacking,neither locksuiUbs.nor etiouette. nor even that ingenious device which so nearly procured for its Italian in ventor a premature death in tbe Seine at the bands of tbe exasperated young gallants of the court of Francis I. of France, could be rationally expected to protect either the most stalwart of clerical saints against the weakest -et feminine siaaers. or tbe most stalwart of feminine saints aeainst tbe weakest of clerical sinners. As for tbe days described by Macauly, in which the chaplains of great bouses in England were regarded by tbe ladies of the houses as upper servants of a lower grade, we can hardly agree with tbe Evening Fot in thinning tbat contempt in those days must have been an absolute bar rier to familiarity. Our old English literature lends small countenance to this notion, and the more modern tale of John Brown and of aristocratic England's disgraceful ready belief in the tale of John Brown must be remembered also against it. But, as between tbe Post's doctrine of wo no ei and the Post's social discipline, and thedoctrineadvancedandthediscipline proposed by the Herald, we cannot for a moment hesitat. The Herald's theory of the average female parishoners seems to be that she is a kink oi leopardess, lying in wait for her prey, and tba. her teet take hold upon the "ways cf destruction" as naturally as upon the harm less domestic sewing machine. If the Her ald is to be believed, a sexagenarian rector, ciippled with lumbago, ought to think twice before he ventures once into the com pany of the LANK EST AND HUNGRIEST SPINSTER of his flock unprotected by the companionship of his wife, or, failing her, of some favorite "Sunday school scholar." Such a conception of the pitfalls of parish life in the nineteen tn century is truly appalling, it takes one back to the patroitic days in which St. Chrysostom kindly alluded to women as "malum sumnum et acutissimum telum diaholi," the "evil of evils and the sharpest tool ot the devil;" and St. John, of Damascus, described her as an "evil beast, a creeping worm, tbe daughter of lying, the plague of Adam;" and St. Chrysologus complimented ber as "the title deed of the grave, the doorway of hell, and the whole cause uf human scirow and St. Anthony, poor pestered pet of the petticoats that he was, fled from her presence into the desert, declaring that he "would rather hear a serpent hiss than a woman speak," and instructing his disciples tbat where they saw "a women they should understand ibat they saw no human creature, nor yet even a beast, but only and wholly a demon." Even Gregory, tbe great, said that it was "Impossible for a woman to learn to do right;" and the son ot Monica himself denied her rapacity to teach tho truth. Of course if there is any justice in this lively picture ot the moral charms or womanhood it is not one Sunday school scholar, nor one wife, but a whole Vassar College and three or four orphan anyiuras that win do needed to protect a trembling parson when he ventures into such dangerous company. If tbe reason or the remedy exists, the remedy will be found ridiculously inadequate. If it does not, if a woman alter all is a com par a tively rational creature, not utterly incapable ol good, and a clergyman is a spiritual guide, consecrated to tne work of comfort ing people in their spiritual sorrows and helping them out of spiritual perplexities. would it be easy to devise any method more ingenious and more effective for making him utterly useless to the women of his parish than the plan of sending bis wife about with mm to supervise THE SPIRITUAL CONFIDENCES of her sister women? . The "Sunday school scholar" might be less mischievous in this particular direction. But would he not make up for that by being much more mis chievous in quite another direction? He is not absolutely a new invention. He has long been known in I renen literature under tbe slang name of a chandelier. It is even re corded of the duke of Wellington that in his callow youth, as Arthur Wellesley. he figured in tbe capacity of cbandelisf to his Kinsman, Lord Westmorland, then lord lieutenant of Ireland, who bad taken him upon nis stan. Liora w estmoriand as a gay, brilliant, not very puritanical man of the world, and Arthur WeLeslev gave so lew signs of tbe greatness he' was to- achieve that ' he was cordially and generally recognized as the most dreary young bore about the castle. Lord Westmorland nevertheless persisted In taking him about whenever he went to call on the most dangerously delightful women of Dublin. One of these ladies ro-

monstraling, the crl replied that he must have "a propriety man," and that as Arthur was the stupidest ol bis ktafl he thought him tbe best for that purpose. Is it not truly

aresaiui to think or the assurance wLic-h a really des;gning young clergyman would derive irom the possession "ot a reliable propriety boy." in tbe person of an ex ceptionally fat-witted and gfuttonous 'Sunday school scholar?" How long would It be before that youth, corrupted by marmalade and minced pie, became the passive and lubbcrlv Leporello of a white cravatted Don Giovanni? Far be It from ns hastily to decide as to the relative proclivities to naughtiness of ministers and of women. We know from which of these two sexee mere men have the most to dread. But which of these two sexes bas most to dread from tbe other, it is not ours just now to settle. hat we are quite sure of, however, is that if it is really necesssary tor ministers and women to hoist a danger signal whenever they come in sight of one another, there can be no real safety for either outside of tbe confessional and the convent. A MILE A MINUTE. SPACE ANNIHILATED REMARKABLE TIME ON THE NORTHWESTERN RAILWAYA MILK A MINUTE FOR 138 MILES. The Chicago Inter-Ocean, of the 5th Inst., contains the following description ot a rail road feat: Much has been said of late years of tbe annihilation of time and space. The wonders of tbe telegraph and of tbe subma rine cables have bevn paraded, and quick time on railways bas been talked about until tne people are stck ot reading. Then tbe scientists have had much to say (which has been duly reported and printed) of " oerfec tion in our railway system," but in this connection the "new AN est" ha3 never been given credit for anything. If the wi6e men were in session in this country, time in England and In tbe Eastern 8 tales .was al luded to; ii in Old England or any part of "tne Lnu-ea Kingdom," the i nited King dorn was alluded to. A feat has just been performed, however, that will attract at ten tion to tbe West in this regard, and indicate that our railway system and facilities are approaching perfection, and that time is be ing steadily reduced in fact that railway management and railway time are keeping pace with the grand march of advancement of to-day. The greatest feat in quick time ever performed in the world must be credited to the Chicago Northwestern railway. In tbe East there are two runs ot the time on which tbe newspapers are continually bragging, Every orportunity that presents itself, the time of these runs are printed, and with great flourish ot trumpets. It is about the same in England, also, where "we're ahead is the watchword. Tbe Eastern runs in this case alluded to are those between Pittsburg and Philadelphia and batween New York and Buffalo. Tho distance from Pittsburg to Philadelphia is 443 miles, and it is made in 14 hours and 15 minutes; the distance from New York to Buffalo is 4 W miles, which is made in 13 hours and 20 minute. In great Britain the fastest running is between Liverpool and London, which is FIFTY-TWO MILES AN HOUR. This time is made on the evenest, best made road, with all the improvements in steam and machinery, and crack engineers as drivers. Bui to our own Western achieve ment. The distance from Clinton, Ion a, to Chicago, on the Omaha and California line of tbe vlncago fc Northwestern, is 138 miles. The road is one of tbe best, and is steel railed. On Thursday afternoon it occurred that a party at Clinton wished to reach Chicago at 6 p. m., or as much earlier as possible, and the officials of the Northwestern being willing, the attempt was made. A special train was accordingly got in readiness, ana tne party emoaraing, it moved out. Tbe locomotive was No. 22, the Wabasha, Phil. O'Neal, engineer, and Mat Uayes, hteman. Every iron nerve and muscle in the snorting monster of tbe rail was strained. Too much coal was not fed, however. It requires experience to know how to "fire" as W6ll as to drive an engine. Ohi from the depot at Clinton, the Wabasha passed at lightning speed, and as she drove on, the people along the line became excited, and stood' in wondering groups, looking after "tbat greased lightning bolt." Those on board had lighted cigers a short time after leaving Clinton, and sat chatting ax-ially for what seemed a very brief period, when, to their astonishment, "Chicago!" was called. Tbe fact that the cigars were still in long stumps seemed to cause more surprise than anything else. and they appealed to their watches to learn tbe time tbat bad been made. "What!" exclaimed oneof the gentlemen, "have we been only 153 minutes on the road?" "That is what my watcn says' returned another. and such indeed was tbe case. The most remarkable time eter made on a railway in the hiatory of the world fcad been accomplished. Then there were congratulations all around, tbe engineer coming in far the lion s share. There were several&ldbs maZ? besides those usual at Clinton Brides. Bound Grove, Rocbelle and tbe Junction. By these stops 15 minutes were lost, makinz tbe actual running time 138 minutes, or a mile a minute! The Chicago Tribune makes tbe following remarks concerning the new Cincinnati line Whenever two railroad companies which Ereviously were at swords-points suddenly ecome warm friends, and make an offensive and defensive treaty pooling all their earnings, it may safely be put down tbat a raid on the public's pocket is intended. Previous to the consummation of tbe Kankakee and Pan Handle pool there was considerable competition to Cincinnati, and tbe fare to that city was rather reasonable, but now the rates there are higher than to any other place at the same distance. The Kankakee and Pan Handle roads are tbe only ones leading to that city at present, and therefore the public has to submit to their extortion. But their game will soon bo at end. The Chicago, Danville and Vincennes railroad will have another short line to Cincinnati, as soon as they have finished the road from lloopeston to lerre tlaute, which is but a short distance, and will be done in a few days. It is tbe intention of tbe man agers of this road to make the rates to Cin cinnati as low as possible, and give the pool all the fight it wants. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad, when completed, will also compete for those points, and do its best to break up the monopolizing pool. A great deal of interest has been created among the managers of the various lines entering Chicago by the recent rapid time on the Northwestern, and it is not Improbable that various trials will soon have to be an nounced. One prominent road will, during tbe week, run a train over tbe smoothest 13S miles it has, and tbe officials claim that the leatof the Northwestern will at leaät be equaled. Alexander II. Sibley, of New York city; Donald Mclnness, of Hamilton, Ont., and Henry Ledyard, of Newport, K. I., through their solicitor, Sydney I. Miller, have com menced a suit in the United States Circuit Court at Detroit against tbe Detroit & Milwaukee Railroad Company, ior the foreclo sure ot a certain mortgage given to secure tbe payment of 52,500,000 bonds issued by the company. rostmasters are instructed that copper and nickel coins are a legal tender as follows: One and two cent pieces to the amount of five cents, three cent pieces to the amount of GO cents and Üe cent pieces to the amount or one dollar.

The Hartford City Courier says: It seems very certain that we will have a fair In this county this fall. J. J. Maddox has started tbe ball to rolling and will very likely stop at the right place. The county has a race track, and as for stock, Blackford is not behind other counties in that line. The intention is to hold the fair on the 15th and 16th of October. CLARK COUNTY. Up to this date it is undecided whether Clark and Lewis are the guilty fiends who tied Gardner to the railroad or not. There is sufficient excitement on the subject, too much for wise and law-abiding conduct. CA88 COUNTT. Tbe Pharos, in a moment of elevation, dilates as lollows: Everything indicates that tbe population of Logansport is rapidly increasing. There are no vacant booses in the city, and our boarding-houses and hotels are all well filed. While many ot the manufacturing establishments in neighboring cities were compelled to stop during the panic, ours have kept right along, most of them making rull time. This is encouraging to our citizens, and bbows that our superior railroad facilities are ot inestimable value. Logansport manufacturers do not have to depend on a home market for their products. Our growth, even since the panic, has been steadily increasing, and many first-class ousiness ana a welling nouses have been erected. It is sate to predict that our population in 1SS0 will number 25,000, at least. ORANGE COUNTY. The Ledger-Standard correspondent writes under date of the 2d inst. that the quiet little dty of Orleans was visited on Wednes day morning with quite a conflagration. At about 9:30 A. M. the cry of fire rang through I the town, and Instantly the people were all on the move in tne direction oi tne rrespyterian cbnrch. It proved to be the large two story dwelling, belonging to the Rev. R. C'McKinney, situated near the Presby terian church. Uut the names bad gained such headway as to render all efforts to save tbe house useless. ST. JOSEPH COl'NTY. The South Bend Tribune says that John M. Snooks, of Warren township, threshed 18J acres of the Fultz wheat which yielded him over 34 bushels to the acre. Also, that Aleck Staples, of that city, is lowering the 14,000 pound bell at Notr6 Dame, known as the biggest bell in America, preparatory to removing it to its permanent position in the tower of the new church building. The same journal is authority for saying that the Studebaker Bros, are fast bringing order out ef the confusion Into which tbe fire threw their affairs, and they will soon have everything moving along in their usual smooth and well-trained manner. A Mrs. Schnäble was backed off a bridge at Misbawaka by a brute of "a hone and nearly killed. But listen to the story of her mother : She became tbe mother of 21 children in 23 years, two of them being born in one year one in January and one in Novemter. She is only 4'J years of age now and is as strong as a young girl. There's a woman for the west. STARKE COUNTY. The Chicago Times makes "foolishness mit" the Knox speculator. It sets him off as follows: Mr. J. A. Garner, of Knox, Ind., is a merchant. Within the precincts and among the slashes of Starke county, Ind., he Is a man of mark. He sells the grangers their goods, parts his hair artistically, and wears store clothes of tbe most startling pattern. Last week be came to this city on good terms with himself and all the world. and was meandering his way down Madisen street, convinced that had fortune placed si ta fill Wlier days on the Bpot where Chicago has since developed, be would baye achieved a world-wide reputation AS a merch ant prince. A bulletin board in front of a real estate office attracted his attention; he read, with speculation glaring from his eves. "Chi cago real estate in exchange for country property or merchandise." He entered, and was greeted kindly by tbe proprietor: he spoke of the legend he had just read, and asked the character or the real estate. A beautifully lithographed map of the "Boulevard Addition to Chicago" was shown him, and he was told that a gentleman who was reputed wealthy was in failing circum stances, and, intending to take the benefit of the bankrupt law, wished to dis pose of his valuable real estate, putting the proceeds either in cash in his pocket, or real estate iu the name of bis wile. One hundred choice lots were offered at $100 per lot. Mr. Garner saw his golden opportunity; he traded his stock of goods in Knox, which were to be invoiced; his house and lot in Knox, his farm in Starke county, amounting in all to $10,000, for the boulevard lots. He went to see the lots first, and was shown lots at Washington Heights. He went home, the goods were invoiced, packed up, shipped to Hamlet, and were to be delivered in this city on tbe 12th of Angust. Ho made out the deeds to his property and had them ready to deliver, and came to this city Thursday, feeling that he was on the high road to wealth and prosperity. He wanted a honse in town to which he could move his family, and as he passed along tbe streets be saw one advertised on another bulletin board to exchange for suburban lots. He had great faith now in bulletin boards, so in he goes and proposes to trade his boulevard lots at $500 each. .The scorn with which his proposal was met astonished him, but he made another offer at 2."0 each. The knowing real estate man said to him "See here, my friend, you can't trade them 'Tom Scott' lots to me at any price; they aint worth ten cents a piece." Then followed an explanation of tne position and size or tbeso lots, and Mr. warner was astonished to tind tbat a "lot" could be laid cut three feet front by six feet deep, and be nn addition to Chicago when it was eighteen miles rrom the court bouse. Mr. Garner, in about an hour after he went into thst last real estate office, was seen furiously hunting a telegraph office to stop them goods from being shipped, and on tbe evening train he left fjr the, slashes of stark, a saddened man, who. In the dep.bs or nis consciousness, nouotcd ir he would have succeeded as well iu tbe metropolis of the northwest as he has jn the quieter cir cles or nis Indiana home.'

While the enterprise has been libraEy patronized by a large b umber or purobar-r 4T tickets in'every section of the Tnited S'jates and ttye British Provinces, yet lh.; imprfkn seems to have prevailed with many h wer willing to aid in the work or completing th Masonic Temple In this city, by investing in tlü scheme, that the concert would be postpaetf., and as a consequence they have declined to jxj chase tickets until an announcement shocMi made that a day bad been fixed upon when tldrawing would positively take place.
