Post master General Gary has issued an order forbidding the venting of letter boxes to minors. The reason for thus order is assigned the numerous complaints of pareuts that their children were carrying on clandestine correspondence through the medium of Ivxe# rented by them. There is hardly a city in the country troui which some such story has not come to the department, and the go\eminent will not become a party iu furthering such correspondence, hence General Gary's order. It is better to ha**- :he reputation of paying tour honest debt# than being a leader in society. AH the glory of vend life cannot compensate for the pretense. The wretchedness of a in an or woman who. for the sake of a litttle display, is haunted day ami night by creditors, who almost fears to walk the streets *>r look at people, is pitiable.

Plowing is practically out of the question and. those that did undertake to do so hail to use four horses to their plows in most instance*. But the ground is-too dry for sowing, it wifi not retain the seed. If it doe* not rain within the next two or three weeks, j so that the ground will be thoroughly soaked there will be little or no wheat raised in this section next year, and those fanner* who are almost entirely dependent on a crop . of wheat, will naturally find themeelve* in ; distressing circumstances.

Old weather prognosticators don’t seem to understand the why ness and wherefores of the continued drought, and are telling of the dry spells fifty years ago or more.

It is the great pile cure. J» R. Adams & Son. The building of the Black Diamond railroad from here to New Albany seems to be an assured fact. Thousand of dollars will be spent in each county for labor and material for the construction of the road, and all men of means should aid and assist in its construction.—Vinncennes Star. The house occupied by John Dennison on East Walnut street was discovered to be ou fire last Sunday about noon.. The alarm was sounded and soon a large crowd of people of that neighborhood was on hand. The fire started from a defective flue in the kitchen and was put out with a few buckets of water before much headway had beeu gamed. The loss was small.
