People should consult this paper to learn the names of the proper persons to’ d 6 business with. Professor A. C. Shortrfdgo, President of Purdue University, has resigned.

Th* Indiana Farmer.— This paper has become one of the leading agricultural journals of the West. It is a large, eight page weekly, as large as any now published; and, being especially devoted to the Agricultural interests of Indiana, is the best Agricultural paper Indiana farmers can take. Published at Indianapolis, it reaches all parts of the State on the week of publication,- Before making up their list of papers for the coming year, formers who are not acquainted with the Indiana Farmer should send fob sample copies, and we believe they would take it in preference to any othor. The Farmer offers a remarkably attractive premium list this year, headed with an eighty acre tract of choice land, followed by numerous other valuable articles. Agents will find it one of the best papers to solicit for. On Tuesday. and Wednesday evenings of this week, CoL Hoy, of New York, delivered two rousing temperance' lectures at the Court House in this place, under the supervision of the Juiper Connty Temperance Union. It is almost the unanimous opinion of all who listened to him that he is the best lecturer that ever talked to a Rensselaer audience. Mr Hoy is a reformed, drunkard, having left off the use of intoxicating liquors enly about seven years ago, when he was taken up in the streets of New York City while suffering with an attack of the delirium tremens, and his discretion of what ho had seen and felt while in that state is well worth the time, trouble and cost of attending one of his lectures.
