Joseph Itouarmel, of Marion town* ship, was taken to the insane asylum at Indianapolis this week. That Cincinnati should have gone Democratic last Monday astonishes Republicans exceedingly. Samuel Vansickle Bold off his personal property last Saturday preparatory to moving to Kansas. The impression is out that (the New Albany and St. Louis road vrill be bnilt on the southern survey.

Venus and Jupiter may be seen as evening stars till April 22d, when Jupiter becomes morning star, while Venus remains evening star till May 3d. Jupiter will be evening star from November 13th to the end of the year. A number of our citizens have purchased storm glasses. The weather has been so changeable lately that without some aid a person could not tell on going down town after the mail whether to take an umbrella or overcoat, or both. A bill has passed the legislature changing the time for holding courts in this judicial circuit, and also increasing the first two terms to 4 weeks An emergency clause is attached and the law will be in force from and after August 1st 1881. Joseph and Levi Caaida left for the 'sunny South’ Wednesday morning.

Alexander for disturbing religious meeting and fined $5 each. The case was taken on a change from Esq. White. Fines and cost amounted to £66,50 which the boys were unable to secure and they were sent to {ail. The Jasper Courier very sensibly suggests the propriety of making the county asylum a work house where prisoners can be made to work out their terms of imptlonment under the law of 1879. If the different county Boards would act on this advice, by passing the necessary order, each eounty would, to a large extent, be reimbursed, for the outlay it maker in keeping "dead heads" in Jail.

Our patrons will please take notice. Alfred Bukress, 5ohn E. Turner. We see by the Boonvifte Enquirer that an M. D. was arrested in that place some time since and placed in the lock-up on account of drunkenness. The doctor was released from confinement on a writ of habeas cor pus, and taken before Judge Handy who, after making an examination, pronounced the whole affair an outrage and discharged the prisoner.

wow that the completion or the Li., N. A. & St. Lonie Railway is assured, our citizens should take steps to secure the location of the repair shops at this place. Let some of our influential citizens take hold of this matter,' and learn on what terms the company will agree to give us the shops, and then let every man who owns property, or is in business here, assist in securing their location. The repair shops here would be of incalculable advantage to the town. The road will be the principal road in the United States, running west and east and te shops located here would add several hundred mechanics to our population.—[Princeton Democrat. It is stated that, the O. & SI, Kailread Company have under consideration the ’ shortening of their line by adopting what is known as “General Mitchel’s old survey" of the road running through the counties of Dearborn and Ripley. It avoids the present enormous grade of ninety-two feet to the mile, via Moors Hill aud Osgood, and will take instead the direct route via Yersailtes, thereby reducing the distauco traveled ten miles, and the grade from ninety-two feet to forty-threo feet per mile. This change will effect * saving of some twentyfive minutes in the running time aud enable the O. & M . to compete suc~ cessfully with the opposition lines running from Cincinnati to St. Louis.— [Madison Herald.

If so, go at once and get a bottle of MRS. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP. It will relieve the poor little sufferer immediately—depend upon it; there is no mistake about it. There is not a mother on earth who has ever used it, who will not tell you at once that it will regulate the bo wels, and give rest to the mother, and relief and health to the child, operating like magic. It is perfectly safe to use in all cases, and pleasant to the taste, and is the proscription ot one of the oldest and best female physicians and nurses in the United States, Sold everywhere; 25 cents a bottle. __ Marriage License.

Carlyle’s Reminiscences. “By spocial arrangement” with the American public, the Literary Revolution will issue immediately a beautiful Acme edition, elegant cloth binding, of the ‘‘Reminiscences of Thomas Carlyle," price 30 cents, postage 6 cents, and it can be had of the nearly 2,000 booksellers who are agents of the Literary Revolution in all parts of the United States, Thomas Carlyle, more than any

other man of the nineteenth century taught the American public, and people of good sense throughout the world, to despise pretense and humbug, whether exhibited by monarch or menial. Sensible people who want a good boot: at an honest price w ill buy it where they find it. There is in this country no law which gives to a foreign author, as it gives to an American, the right of the monopoly oif the publication of his book. If publishers choose to pay a foreign author anything, they can do it only as a "donation,” because he can give them in return no protection from competition. Readers have the privilege of making such donation, if they choose to do so vrithont paying it to the publishers and trusting to the possibility of their paying it to the author for them, There is no donation included im the priee above named. Readers who want to combine a possible donation, and a positive price, can gel an edition of this seme book from other publishers at from two'to eight times the price. Address for catalogue.

W«b hear a great deal a boot the prosperity of this country from the Radical papers, and yet these same papers pretend to say. that we cannot place a three per cent. loan. France is much more subject to war and revolution than the Uuited States; therefore, our credit ought to be better, or at least as good as hers. That country has asked for $200,000.0000 at three per. cent., and has three times that amount offered.—[Madison Herald.
