Cows are constantly tearing down fates, destroying valuable trees, and naking themselves a geuefal nuisance ibout the premises of many of om utizens. Is it a greater hardship on >eople to be compelled to nut up their sows than it is to let them run at arge and tear up property? This is he question for the property holders o weigh. Consider it, and act for the >est interests of the whole people. The Vincennes Sun says: “The result of the suit pending in the Su-n-erne Court relative to the levy of he V. & O. It. It. tax is causing deep soil corn among the taxpayers of this •ity.

Ifhe question has a bearing upon eer:ain other measures of public enterprise just now before the people.” The concert given by the A. M.

E. choir, was not very largely attended ; but the small attendance did not hinder the members from giving a good concert to those who were present A good program had been selected, and it was rendered by the choir in a manner of great merit for amateurs.

There was a party of this sort organized by a lot of people •who were gathered on the plains in the vicinity of Mt. Sinai, a great while ago. It was a mere half then, it is true, that formed the central idea of this party organization, but theu it was a golden calf; aud a people who had been so long associated with the heathen might he excused lor looking upon it with admiration and even devotioi.
