In several vicinities throughout imliana, severe forest tires have done «un-ldcrablc damage the past week. Thanksgiving Day approaches, and it behooves the lovers of turkey to soon begin to fatten them for the cyming feast.

Uujtlier Hale, aged throe years (soil <>:' Ulehard Hale), of Logan township, hud his hand crushed a lew days ago in a cane mill. The coke ovens at Ayershire were tired lip last. Saturday, and will now he run in full blast. Ayershire is enjoying a boom. Two residents of the southern part of the county "skipped out by the light of the moon” one night last week to avoid paying debts. A card bearing the inscription, “I am somewhat of a liar my self,” has superceded the chestnut bell, and has been worked on many aii untruthtul citizen. { James Seales has retirefr from the Press to engage in the grocery business and has opened out his stock in the Burger building. Sec his advertisement. Life lias its burdens. Now that (lie election is over, and eoou the male population will cease to worry, the fomale population arc disturbed over the fall style of bonnets. Farmers are beginning to object to having signs painted on their fences uni barns. They think the best way tor merchants to advertise is through the columns of their local newspaper. A young man who has been working at Mike Ohio's taw-mill at Ayrshire, was arrested hero Wednesday and took to Winslow. lie had stolen a suit of clothes.—Oakland City Enprise. Mark Powers is recovering from severe bru ises sustained recently by a fall from a log while chopping. lie lias been able to walk around for the past week, but vet sutlers some pain from the accident. ? The fly iis making terrible inroads oh the early sown wheat, amt the late sown is suffering wonderfully from the continued drouth, as it lias not taken sufficient root to keep it alive. Unless rain conics very soon the prospects for a big crop uext year will be very discouraging. *» “The melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year,” when its too warm fur good old rum, too eo<>! for lager beer. It's just tho time for cider sweet, and apple-peeling bees, when the youths of the neighboi hood can meet to bug and \fciss aud squeeze. And tlius the inaldcn and the man in wedlock become one, ami the. evolution plan can never be undone. ’• fjtel f

The fly 1* seriously injurinijr ■ the early sown wheat In some parts of the State, amt (lie late sown is suffering from the long continued drouth. By those who ought to know this is reported the drvest weather we hare had for twenty years.

Ollio Kolb and Mis* Delhi Smith, while returning to Princoton from this place, last week, narrowly escaped Injury by aruuaway. The horse become frightened at a threshing machine standing on the roadside, ran, and demolished the vehicle, but the occupants fortunately escaped unhurt. Pleasant Hightower, a teacher of Cla^ township, and who is well known to the teachers of Pike county died last Tuesday a week, of that dread disease, consumption. Pleas, was well lifced by Ids follow teachers who will bo "sorry to hoar of his untimely death, lie was a young man, and one of the best of things can be said of him—“he was a good man.” The now Catholic church is nearing completion. The roof was finished last week, and work is now being clone on the interior. The church will bo a substantail and attractive place of worship, and the congregation deserve credit for their efforts, which have now proven successful, in the vfork of securing a suitable church. Increased interest in their church work will now mark the progress of this denomination. There is *a good moral in the song of Gus Williams, the great German comedian, who is himself the author, apd though perhaps not just the thing to sing before the'eWe of the country, It would he well for all to remember the chorus: “Mind and be at limno when the clock strikes nine, Don't stay out late in the bright moonshine; For girls will be girls and men will be men, Aud a thousand things may happen ore the clock strikes ton.” The army of defeated candidates in Indiana are jmuruc^ iug toward the head-waters of Salt river, in the light-draught and swift running steamer Defeat. The scenery along, the shores of ye classic stream is said by fresh water navigators to be sublime aud inspiring, and it is said that when passengers return they feel all right and are invigorated to such a degree that they feel like hauling off their coats, rolling up their sleeves and going to work. The weather prophet. Itlako,. who predicted the remarkable drouth of this year, says there will he pleasant weather mostly until November— which will be a stormy month. December will start in cold, but nftll turn warm and remain so until the 20th, when winter will set in in dead earnest with a klbzard, and winter will continue with unabated and increasing fury until 1SS7. There will he nothing that could ha called a “thaw” during the entire winter after December 20lh. This is a cheerful prospect, ami the prudent man will lay in an extra supply of fuel. A printer don't rush to a’doctor when lie is out of “sorts.” Nor to the baker wliei) he wants “pi.” Nor to hell when he wants the “devil.” Nor to the wood pile when ho wants a “stick.” Nor to the Hi hie when he wants a good “rule.”. Nor to the gun shop when ho wants a “shooting stick.” Nor to the cabinet shop when lie wants “furniture.” Nor to ih. bank when he wants “quoins,” Nor to a girl when lie wants to “press.” Nor to a lawyer when ho has a “dirty ease.” Nor to a butcher when he wants “phat.” North a pump whop lie's dry and has ten eonfs in his pocket.

LITERARY’ TREAT. Mrs. Lnelu Julian Jlurtln’s Entertainment, Nov. 11th. The lovers of refined amusement, and all “literary iueliued” people, will be furnished a literary and dramatic treat at Scluufer’s Hail next Thursday night, Nov. 11th. The occasion will be the appearance of Mrs. Lucia Julian Martin in a program of superior merit embracing humor, pathos, and tragedy, all that goes to make up an evening of enjoyment with an elocutionist of rare ability. Mrs. Martin is Principal, of tho Training School of Expression at Iudinuapolis, and has taught elocution and given readings throughout this and adjoining States. Everywhere the press speak in the highest terms of Mrs. Martin, and below will be found two extracts from among many notices she has received: Mrs. Lucia Julian Martin, principal of tho Training School of Expression, contributed largely to the pleasure of the evening by her recitations of “What My Lover Said,” “Tim s Kit” and a “Fourth of July C ebration at Jonesvlllc,” all of which were rendered characteristic of the highest degree of perfection in mimicry and pathos.—ludiauapqlis Journal, Nov. 21), 1885. Among the very pleasant affairs of the present week, was a benefit tendered on Tdesday evening to the accomplished elocutionist, Lucia Julian Martin. Tho house was filled with an audience which testified its appreciation of Mrs. Martiu’s readings by repeated encores. “The Spanish Duel” created a perfect furore of entliusinsm.—Chicago JTerfihh Nov. 20,1880. i • •

RAILROAD NEWS. The special election held at Richmond on the 25th to appropriate $90,000 for the building of the Evansville 6 Richmond railroad resulted in 3,007 for the road and 158 against it. Richmond is jubilant at the result. Win. F. Tucker, has resigned his position at the E. & I. depot hero and returned to Newberry, where ho will resume his place in the depot there. In olden times every, railroad crossing used to display the sign, “Look out for the locomotive when tho bell rings.’ This gave place to the more abbreviated motto, “Look out for the Locomotive.” Now all that is put up is simply, "Railroad Crossing.” An eastern engineer commenting on the carelessness of the average farmer in crossing a railroad track, suggests that we adopt tho motto, “Prepare to meet thv God." This is an age of progress. THE All! USE RAll.KOAt). [Louisville Commercial.] The Louisville, Evansville & Bt. Louis Air Line Railroad property was turned over Monday jo the company formed here Tuesday last by the consolidation of the former companies. William T.

t THE SNOW That Bell on Tuesday, Nov. 2d, Docs Not Cover the Footprints of the Democracy. Indiana Caught tn the Drift, and the State is Likely Republican; And the Legislature Will be Determln. < d by the Otllolul Couut. Snow Flakes All Over the County and the First District, But With a United Democracy the County, Statpuiufc Union is Democratic.

A Summary of the Genera! Result— Democratic Discord and Republican Boodle Win. IN GENERAL. The elections in the various Statos throughout the Union result in great surprises. The gains by both parties are made in unexpected quarters. When the lossos and gains of the Democratic party are counted it will no doubt bo found we have held our own, on the whole. It is quite probable thu next House of Representatives will have a Democratic majority. ItESI'l/T IN THE STATE. In Indiana disaffections existed in every congressional district. Republican boodle played an important part. Lukewarm Democracy in munyplaocs went down before aggressive Republicans. Indiana is a Democratic State, and will fall in line with the Democratic ranks closed in the comingelections. lxniANAPOus, Nov. it—Evening.—Upon basis of returns from "IS precincts, 45 jier cent, of the vote of tho States Republican ticket has been elected by a plurality of 3,275. Ex-Senator MeD maid, a member of tho Democratic State Central Committee says, however, the returns from the other S3 per cent, of precincts will result in placing tho State again in the Democratic columns. He basis his claims upon ex|>erionce of ISSt, when bulletins for two days after the election indicated success of the Republican ticket The Republican State Central Committee and Senator Harrison claim tho election of the State ticket by at least 3,000 plural ty, but are not disposed to limit the figure. Roth committees are claiming tho Legislature, and until the official returns are received the result will be in doubt. Probabilities favor the Democrats. Upon authority of private advices they claim a majority of four on joint ballot. Roth have in reserve a number of doubtful Districts to increase their total. Tlte Republicans have made a gain of three congressmen, having elected llovey in the first district; Browne in the sixth; Johnscn, in the eighth ;Cheadle in the ninth; Owen in the tenth; Steele in tho 11th. and White in the twelfth. The Democrats elect O’Neall in the seeom!; Howard in the third: Holman in the fourth; Matson in the fifth; Kynum in the seventh, and Shively in the thirteenth, the majorities in each, except Bynum’s district, being greatly reduced. Bynum’s majority is a! out 1,300. The entire Republican ticket is elected in Knox county. Daviess county elects the Democratic ticket, except the Representative.

KliSl'LT IN 1*1 KK COIN TV. Battle or the Ballots. The election on last Tuesday brought out the largest vote ever cast in Tike county, in an “off year.” The amount of scratching done exceeded any previous election, and hard work was done from the opening to the closing of the polls, more than ever before--nt a county election. State Ticket. The majority on the State ticket in this county, as reported from all the precincts in the county except two or three carefully estimated, gives the Republican State ticket 160 majority. This will be slightly ehangedperhaps, by the official returns, but the majority is about as given above- 160. The majorities in the ('aunty. The count was slow on account of the long ticket and the scratching ylone, so that the returns came in slowly ami .were not reportod completely, but from returns received and carefully Inquiry from every precinct in the county, the following are the majorizes, and they will la; changed but little by the official count.

The County Drtent. The Democracy of l’ike county has suffered defeat, Hut to those men on the ticket, and friends who worked hard for success against such desperate odds, great credit to them is due. Selected us candidates by the Democracy of the county, they were winners at the start. Rut lukewarm members of the party grew to be disaffected; discord took the place of harmony, and the Republican managers quickly took advantage of this feeling, and by a still bunt up to election day deceived many Democrats, who thought the Republicans to be inactive. Rut they were not; nightly, meetings were held, organizations perfected, throughout the county, and on election day every party worker of tho opposition (well supplied with something to work with) was at the polls, and took good care of the “doubtful'* voters. “Disaffected” Democrats added to their rauks. All duy superhuman efforts were made for the fusion ticket; never before in a county campaign was such work done—every method of chiunnery desperate party managers could resort to was practiced. Considering alii his fully, the result is not so sui t rising us a first impression would lead one to think. It might have been greater. Rut one thing is certain, itis but a temporary defeat. Uuerillu warfare wins victory only to be followed by defeat. .Surest can l>o founded only on a solid basis; anything else is temporary Temporizing with principle, bickering, etc., mav win occasionally; but the triumph is ulwuys abort-lived. Principles iiuvor die. It may be Over-ridden by this or that

means; but the right will ultimately triumph ever nil. Democracy may suffer defeat, but never surrenders. When the time cornea for action, let the ranks be elosed up; marshal the forces for a tight against these methodsjn politics; right will prevail and Democracy will triumph iu l*ike county: I'ime, arbiter of ell problems, selves in Invar of a sovereign people.

in* rest Mrcnfin. It will now tie claimed l»y our Republican »nd National friends that tbe personnel of their county ticket caused its election. This is not true Personally, comparing the two tickets, we bad a decided advantage, rhrough the papers the opposition was forci d to conduct a defensive campaign, and at the same time an aggressive still hunt. No speeches weje mr.de, no principles advocated, no issues discussed. The campaign was maiftged on the Dorsey plan to a great •stent. The personnel of the ticket was of secondary importance. Tho voters were not asked: “Do you think this man competent and honorabler* A different “appeal” was made to those who could he influenced. Many Democrats disaffected adlied to the opposition, who eared nothing for the fusion candidates above a desire to resent some grievance. Tlie extra exertions of some one of the candidates friends may have pushed him ahead. Or a trade here and there may have addetpjo his majority. Every fusion Candida to effected an organization on his own behnlfr and he and his friends pushed his canvass, in additiou to a general organization, ami a liberal campain fund; resolved ttuwin let it cost what it may. No principle was involved; no square test for party supremacy between candidates soliciting the suffrages of the prople as adherents to party principle, competency, honesty. But the “fusiou” campaign was a scramble for office; a scrapping match; a scratching soiree; a go-as-yoti-please; beg,coax, bulldoze.any way to get there. They have the offices; but nothing else. The victory was too costly for much rejoicing. But Pike county is' vet Democratic. A plurality of its voters are so on a free, fair, and open expression of principle. Interesting letter From the Windy City. Delayed Correspondence Dkmock at. d^CtitCAuo, Ili„, Oct. 17, 1886. It i^^nndcrful how inspiriiig the spirit of Chicago is! Evan ihe stranger is soon affected by its characterisin', its genius, its tone. Not only docs its tnagtiilinlo excite surprise, but the astonishing picture of its rapid expansion and solid growth. The visitor may bring with him a just appreciation of its size and cumin etc Pit I importance, and yet have no conception of its beauty nor the abounding evidences of ils public spirit and private enterprise that confront him at every turn. The colossal buildings; the stately piles that are the outward amt visible signs of the vast commercial and financial interest of the city, as well as the graceful beauty of its domestic architecture, are the creation of a .comparatively few years. We are having the perfection of autumn weather; aud the Chicago Exposition, the Episcopal Triennial Convention and the Congregational Convention are in progress, each lasting several weeks, besides numerous other attractions. Altogether, bringing immense numbers of strangers to the city, til.ittg the hotels to the utmost of their vast capacity, while the churches and theatres are crowded, and the streets are brilliant witii their gay and hurrying throngs. The rage for tlie Spectacular drama Js on the increase, and its effects arc gotgeous and startling in the extreme, and the audiences arc immense. I'he display of dry goods, wares, bric-a-brac flowers, the costly equippages and all the paraphernalia that belongs to tlie “pomp and pageantry” of wealth are indiscrihahle. The world seems to have gone mad in its race for riches, and it is not strange, for the allurements are more potent than beauty, more fascinating than love. It koks as if there is no good, that tlie god Money cannot buy. F«*r the benefit of your lady readers, who are lovers of all things beautiful, I will attempt todcsciibo one small department in the well-known dry goods house of Marshall, Field Si Co., situated on the corner of State anil Washington streets. It is their model diuittg room which is arranged to display samples of their unsurpassable stock of Napcry. This apartment is about 18x20 feet in size, situated in the rear of the first floor of this magui> cent establishment, in which are engaged seven bundled employes. 1 he walls of this room are covered with richly embossed paper in raised figures of varied designs in colors of bronze, dead gold, and palest tints of piuk and blue, while the Frieze-fluted columns, and ceiling are in arabesque patterns of corresponding shades, and tho carpet is of Persian stylo and colors. Tlie fire place containing ornamental logs of wood on brass band-irons, is of Egyptian Tiling in floral designs, in shades of green, with trimmings and fender of brass. The cabinet shaped mental is of richly carved light wood, reaching from floor to ceiling filled with tlie rarest bric-a-brac. Above the mautlc is a large window-shaped niche, made of stained glass of oriental design, behind which a gas jet is burning, shedding aglow of richest coloring over all. The mantle, the side-hoard, the buffet, tho chairs, all of light wood beautifully carved, are gracefully | draped with fabrics of china silk, satin, plush aud linen, covered in exquisitely wrought embroidery in Oriental Egyptian and Kounington designs Tlie mantle is also'adorned with vases and busts in bronze, three of these Ornaments being marked one hundred and twenty-five dollars; others on a handsome table are marked one hundred and fifty dollars. There are many ornaments and vases of crystal andcolored glass in settings of silver and gold of artistic workmanship and unique design. The table is covered with a cloth of cream colored damask of finest texture, with a deep border of hem-stitohed and drawn work and not ted fringes. The napkins are in various styles some of which are bordered with lace aud tassels of old gold silk. The centerpiece for the table is large and of a tinea fabric resembling gauze, embroidered in old gold silk, with fringe and tassels to match. There are also tiny doilies made of bolting cloth, fringed, and dain.tly hand-painted laid over lemon colored silk. Upon one side of the table are plates and platters of black china with Japanese designs and floriated borders of gold, while tlie opposite side has white Severs china, hand painted, and each differing from the other. There aie also dainty wine glasses of various tints and styles, adorned with tracery of gold and silver. Standing tipon the floor is a tall cherry clock with ieiiss mountings, and a hand painted florul design upon its dial; also a large artistically shaped lamp upon a brass pedestal. Tho ornamentation is all of the most delicate coloring aud artistic design aud witii the exquisite blending of light and shade and tho shimmer of tlie gas over all, makes a picture like a fairv soeue, and simply indisoribablo, and all this for att advertisement! It seems as if tlie old world had been reached for treasures to fill tlie departments and supply the trade of tl>!s palatial establishment. Xs

Address him.] Send in items of educational interest. Teachers are especially invited to do so. We w’ll publish some of the most important of tho State hoard questions. A few answers will be givon. Mr. Oliphant, Trustee of Clav township, lias recently purchased Yaggy’s Anatomical studies for the Union graded schools. Many teachers are using script writing tor teaching beginners instead of printing. They are too successful to be criticised. Too little conversation on the part of pupils while reciting characterizes tho majority of schools. The right kind of conversation exorcises tho intellect and hence strengthen it. The teachers of Clay township have formed themselves into a reading circle. Other townships will dd well to do likewise. They all belong to the Indiana Teachers’ Reading Circle. Two weeks past no education column appeared in this paper. It was crowded out to give room to demands for othei matter. Hereafter this col unit! will appear when it is possible, and it will not be crowded out for less important matter. There is no reason why our schools should not receive some attention, as there are more than seven thousand persons engaged in school work, either as pupils or teachers, saying nothing oi school officers. It is doubtful in the miml ot the writer whether corporal punishment is ever effective in accomplishing any good. But, that a child, spoiled by indulgence in a grevious fault, must sometimes be chastised, and cveu with severity,-there can be no doubt, if wc judge front human nature and experience with humanity. Sometimes the training, or the lack of it, is at fault. One of the bust and most useful men said tiiat “children are little savages and must be tamed.” The taming process should be tho work ot home and school, and of society aside from either. None of these institutions, however, can do the work alone. The family is, in one sense, too restrictive; in another, too liberal in granting its every request, and satisfying every desire, thereby producing selfishness and a lack of generosity. It takes no strain of the intellect to understand that the education of a child is not the work of the school room done. The home circle, the school, and everything that brings a child in contact are factors in its education as found with it whin grown Up. However, education signifies to so train a child as to make it all that it is capable of becoming. morally, intellectually, and physically. Any association which retards any of these is wrong. Pa rents and guardians should know Ibis' and guard against it. Be careful what the surroundings arc at home und abroad. A lack of local and editorial matter is noticabie in this issue, on account of a iitsh of job work, and work incident to the election; hut Wc shall ho straightened out in a few days, and resume the even tenorofour way giving the usual amount of reading matter.
