Sears permission to pave the street between his brick building and the diagonal walk from the west side of the iron bridge, and to build a walk from the stone abutment to his wexxien building in the rear of the brick. The improvement will add much to the appearance of that part of the street. The building on the south half of lot 47, owned by the city, was sold at public atietiou last Saturday, bringing the princely sura of ten dollars and fifty cents Arthur Thompson being the fortunate purchaser. The building was at one time the only church ia the cit? l and was u.sed by Presbyterians. Mrthocilsts, and other denominations in common.

That there are times in the history of all men when they wish they had their lives to live over again, no one can doubt. This time one of our prominent, live stock men was the victim, and an overland trip to the county seat the occasion. We haven't time to give any particulars, but will just say, that it is such a big thing that one of our prominent citizens who happened to see them come in was promptly offered, and refused a small fortune, to say nothing about it. We are not likely to have a better opportunity to direct attention to a terribly severe case of mustaches that we know of, than just now, while our neighbors are agitating the subject. The particular one we refer to is principally owned and controlled by a young college professor. Embracet he first opportunity and get a square look at it, and see whether he is not pardonable for wondering whether there is not a future where we are released from this life's mysteries and cares and griefs and doubts.

A row occurred at the Turners' hall, at this place, last Sunday, in whicL one of the parties came off badly demoralized. If this is the legitimate working of this organization, we think the benefits resulting therefrom will haidly compensate those who have been at so much expense in its organization, and buil ling a hall for their use. 1NW00D.

The editor of the Ligonier Banner compliments "Frank Sundown's" article on "The Cry of Hard Times," by giving it a place in his columns. J. B.

Winamae Democrat. The Ligonier Banner has ound the following lina recorded in the local columns of the Lawrenceburgh Registler, and on account of their merit as a specimen of humorous literature gires them a place in its columns: "When freedom from her mountain's height unfurled her banner to the air,

if she bad pinned her skirts as tight as those onr modem maidens wear, oh, tell us how, ye howling winds that round our pathway wildly roar, she

could have made the lengthy strides that she has m:ule in days of yore; or how, with limbs so tightly bound, she could have stooped to lift the slave, who, neath the heel of master ground, reviled the life his maker gave; or how, with lungs tightly compressed with lace and stay and strip of steel. she could have blown the clarion blast that made the kingly tyrant reel, when fair Columbia in her might rose from the ashes of despair, robbed it3 cerrulean hue from night, and placed her constellation there? (Answers received from pin-hackers only.)" , Apropos : Storm Tide In the Gelf r Xexleo 200 Lives Lost. A special telegram to f.he Chicago Times gives the following particulars of the destruction of the town of Indianola, on the Gulf of Mexico: Galveston, Sept. 21. A telegram from Galveston to-night says that the storm on the Texas gulf last week, effected its greatest destruction at Indisaiola, where upward of 500 houses were swept away, and about 200 persons perished by drowning. The floods rose in some places to the depth of nine feet, and all over the town the water was fully six feet in depth. The gale raged furiously during Thursday and Friday, and as the water sapped the foundations of the weakest houses, the wind.blew then down, burying the inmates in the ruins, or drowning them. The steamer Harlan reached Indiasola for Galveston on Sunday morning, and found the wharves and every portion of the town which had occupied the beach swept out of sight, The crew w ent ashore and found the situation to be one of utter destruction and drolation. Nearly every house w-as more or less damaged, The streets were filled with wrecked buildings in nearly every direction, and hundreds of families were without a pa.licle of shelter. The energies of Lhe living were devoted to the rescue of the dead from the wilderness of debris, and in the confusion and fearful misery widely prevalent, it was impossible to gather more than meagre intelligence. Another account by the associated press dispatch: The following was received by a business firm from their correspondents: On Wednesday, Sept. 15, the wind was from the eastward, veering to north. On Thursday it became more steady, increasing to a gale. The water was waist deep. Every man, woman and child was seeking a place of safety. It blew fearfully, and the situation was awful. The screams of women and children were heard in every direction. The water was six feet deep in the streets. About 2 o'clock Friday morning the wind veered to northwest. The waves then became chopped. Houses were cashed away or tum'ed to pieces. At daylight the town could not be recognized. The Herzegovinian- War. j A little war has broken out in the westernmost province of European Turkey which may spread into a wide conflagration. Herzegovina contains a population of 2D0,000Tf which 1S0,000 belong to the Greek church, 48,000 are Catholics, and 02,000 Mohammedans. The area of the province is nearly equal to that of Massachusetts. Massachusetts has 1,500,000 on her soil, which is a proof that Herzegoviana is thinly populated. The country is mountainous, and therefore breeds a hardy and brave race. They have been under Mohammedan rule for the past 250 years, but they have always detested it, yet, of course, they had to submit to superior force. The Christians not only detest the Mohammedan religion, but they still more detest Mohammedan taxation, which is always onerous and cruelly collected; that is, the tax-gatherer would take from the peasant almost his last bushel of grain. The Turks have had such difficulty in collecting taxes in Herzegovina that back taxes had accumulated into quite a pile. This year the sultan's necessities compelled him not only to try to collect the taxes of the present year, but the accumulative taxes of the past years. But the crops of the Herzegovinians have been poor, and they could not pay these exactions w-ithout extreme distress, perhaps starvation. So they concluded it was perhaps better to die on the battle field than to starve in their cottages; hence the rebellion. The nerzecrovinians have fought with the courage of despair, and on every occasion have defeated the Turks. This success has naturally given them warmer allies in the surrounding Slavonic races; so the Croatian3, the Bosmans and he Servians are joining them. It is estimated that the rebellion has already spread among three millions of people, most of them of the Greek faith ; and if Turkey does not succeed in putting it down in 1S75, it may spread to all the provinces north of the Balkan Mountains, which contain a population of 11,000,000, only one million of which are Mohammedans, the residue being Greeks and Roman Catholics. In that event it would be impossible for Turkey to put it down. Then new complications would arise. Austria, Russia, and England would become the interested parties. England desires to preserve the integrity of the Ottoman empire, not only because her capitalists hold a large amount of the Turkish bonds,but because the English believe that Turkey i3 the sole barrier against the progress of Russia towards British India Austria longs tc. an nex to her empire the Turkish provin ces to the south of her, while Russia wants Bulgaria,which would bring her to the foot of the Balkan Mountains If England should show :ny signs of active hostility Austria and Russia might offer Germany a slice of north ern Turkey, and then Englanc,'Would have to keep quiet. Semi- Wekeiy Wis consin. A Mississippi planter, who owned many J'iaves in the bad old dajs, now boasts that all his "niggers" have turned out well. Not one of them lias been elected to the legislature. Lord Cornwallis used to remark that he wasn't afraid of a rainstorm but when his wife accidentally spilled water in his shoe he made as much fuss as if an onmIH run over him.

the things hell find necessary to carry West. Hon. John E. NetT, secretary of state, has gone to Hot Springs, Ark., for the benefit of his health, which has ken very poor for some time past. Interesting to All. Nothing more chacterizes the present age and generation, than the eager search after knowledge, and the exten sive explorations being carried on in all parts of the world. Among them all, none perhaps are so remarkable and rich in results, or so replete with interest to the people at large, as the recent excavation and t'iscoveries in Egypt and the Holy Lane In the excavation in Jerusalem, among other interesting and valuable discoveries, they found the very foun dation rall of Solomon's Temple, so that after the lapse of so many centuries, the sound of the "iron tools" the pick and bar 01 the explorer have at last been heard or the ruined walls of that magnificent structure, in the erection of which, "No workman's steel, no ponderous axes runir, J Like some tall nalm the noseless fabriu - sprung." We might also mention the discovery of the great Moabite Stone and its translated inscription the Silver Cylinder of the Samaritans inclosing their ancient records in perfect preservation -ind the many interesting discoveries in Egypt and the Desert of the Exodus. Then too, further East, in the very "cradle of humanity" the entombed cities of Asyria have been awal.ened from their slumber of ceuturif s, and made to yield up their testimony. From the ancient manuscripts, clay tablets, and stone inscriptions here found, so recently deciphered by Prof. George Smith of the British Museum, we are furnished with a detailed account of the Deluge the history of creation the fall of Man and other important events, which not only corroborate and confirm the truth of Holy Writ, but which also throws much light on the early history of the human race. W9 regret that want of space compels such a brief notice of these subjects, but we refer our readers to a volume just published, entitled "Sacred Biography and History" and "Explorations in the Holy Land" by Rev. O. Tiffany, in which is given not only a full and accurate account of the recent Explorations and Discoveries but also the lives of the most eminent characters of Sacred History. It is re freshing to find a work so interesting to all classes both old and young, and its merits entitle it to immense circulation. The fact that over 320,000 copies of the work, so far, have been ordered, is it3 best commendation. One of the Publisher's silesmen is introducing it in our county and has taken several hundred orders already, including many of our best citizens. Our best wish for him is, that his success will be commensurate with the merits of his book, and the intelligence of our people. 4w2. ust opened The latest styles in fine fur hats, at Becker & Wolf's.

Good Bnine Opportunity. The proprietor of the Manhattan Spring Bed. which is now being manufactured in this city, can furnish to the

j right kind of a party, a most valuable j and desirable business, in taking charge of the manufacture and sale of these popular leds, in an extensive district in this part of the state.
