Next, the foreman of the gang on his wheel. Ami then I left on my wheel. The Michigan City News is responsible for the item following.

To his surprise he found the hones of the missing linger, which had been there for thirty years, and he has them now as a souvenir of his visit to that memorable battlefield.

A few evenings since we saw two of our usual easy-going citizens perambuating the streets in a peculiar style for hem.

We saw John Neidlinger on the streets Monday, having recently recovered from u severe spell of sickness The chicken thieves are getting in their work in this vicinity and a number of our citizens have been relieved of their chickens numbering up in the dozens.

ARE upon us and we have returned from our two month's visit in the old world. We have certainly had a pleasant and profitable visit, as we had an opportunity to see how business was done in the old world and find out just exactly what foreign dry goods, of which we always have in our store, are worth in Europe and what we ought to pay for them after they have landed in the United States. AVe are in a position now to o to our market knowinor just what we ouo-hfto pay for such goods here. This advantage will prove very beneficial to our numerous customers, as we have bought and will buy our fall goods at the right prices, and consequently sell them at prices not to be matched by competition. This fact you can easily find substantiated by calling on us. We have received an immense stock of new and seasonable goods so far and they are still comin right along, all bought for spot cash at right prices, and will be sold accordingly. Thanking our friends for their most liberal patronage during our absence and soliciting a continuance for the coming season, knowing that such a course is bound to be of mutual interest we are. yours thankfully,
