Two such brooms, kept, respectively, one for plates and pottery, the other for tnetal dishes, always hang over the sink and are in daily use. An especial recommendation is the ease with which they are kept clean, a moment's bolding under the running faucet washing away every scrap which may cling to them and an occasional dipping iu hot water, to which a little washing soda has been added, keeping them perfectly sweet. *

The headless body of an unknown woman was found on the tracks of the L., K. & St. i L. railroad near Huntingburg, Saturday ; last. It is supposed that the woman was [ in a demented condition and lay dow n on J ; the track, when the fa>t line passenger j [traiu came along and decapitated her. j She was about forty years i f age. It is amusing to watch the candidate for license to marry, aud it is decidedly an en>y j thing for one who is about the clerk's | office to spot the prospective groom. Smie : | way or another they always have a bang I dog look more like a man to be arrested for ; a misdemeanor than one supposed ti» soon i ■ be one of the happiest fellows on earth. If a woman loses her husband by death S she deems it unwise and disrespectful to | her late husband to marry for at least six i mouths and better, to wait one year, but if j •'he lose.- her husband by a divorce proeeed- [ ings she deems it proj>er and wise to tv j immediately remarried to show her husband j tiiat “there is another fellow that is just as I big a fool as he is. ” | This is white clover season.

The main stem this year is i unusually long, in many instances from six • to ten inches. The bees should make a large amount of honey this year, as aii i bloom is full and fragrant. ! The Lockhart township commencement [exercises, were held in the Unh u church f here last Saturday eveut ig. A nust f interesting program was rendered, which space forbids us noting ii full.
