The next regular term of Common Pleas Court commences the first Monday in June, those interested will take notice and gov cm themselves accordingly. "We are pleased to ehronicle the fact that a substantial, six feet wide, side-walk has just been put down by Dr. Vinall in front of his lot on Michi-an etrect. If i about fifty others would do likewise it would be much pleasanter getting about. How about the pig-pens on the alleys, and the filth and rubbish that has been accumulating in the streets and alle's for a time past? Are they to be endured .through the warm season. What &ay the board of health? Thc streets of Plymouth were seemingly j crowded almost to the'r full capacity on last Saturday. Business here h id been rather dull through the week, owing wc prcsdine to the fact that most of the farmera were engaged in planting corn, I A it seemed on Saturday that nearly ;cv rybody and his wite" were here. The cellar walls of the brick row in the burnt district have been commenced and work is progressing finely. It will not be long before wc shall see a continuous row of nine brick buildings, some two and some three stories L::rh. Success to the good work, and its snccdy completion j " L J j The man who a week ago last Sunday night fell through the rail, oad bride across 3iichigan street was more seriously injur ed than was at first anticipated. We learn that his spine was so injured as to cause partial paralysis of the lower limbs, and that being unable to procure the notaries demanded by one in his condition, had been sent to the County Asylum. We understand that the trustees at their last meeting appointed Dr. J. D. Gray, II. B. Dickson and X. II. Oglesbce a board ot health for the corporation. "VYc hope ihey will attend to the important duties of their position and take the earliest occasion to report to the Board of Trustees any facts and suggestions by them deemed necessary to preserve the health of the people. "What is done by way of preventive to disease must be done soon or it will Le too late. Tho June number of Godcy's Lilly's Book has made its appearance upon our table. Its fa.'hions and receipts arc the latest and best and the beauty and chastity af its literatire cannot fail to exercise a highly beneficial influence in elevating and refining the moral sentiment"' of the com. muaity in which it is read and appreciated. Price, S3. Address L. A. Godey, Phik adelphia, Pa. Very Independent. Several months since, a veil dressed, fine looking lady went into x Dry Goods Store in this placj, and asking for an article, inquired the price. fche was told. When she a:,ked, " can't you take less?" the clerk said not. She .made an offer; when she was told, "We have Only One I'rice, ' from which we never deviate. " " Oh ! " sai l she, with a slight toss of the head, " you are very independent' and turned to go. The proprietor attempted an explanation, but she would not listen, and with the step of a Queen she walked out; and no far as we Jinow she has never been inside their door iince. If you wish to buy good Prints at 1 lets; unbleached Muslin one y'd wide, at 1 lets ; bleached at 12Jcts; finest at lOcts a yard; Brocade Alpacas double width, at 40cts; Tery handsome French Chene Stripes, at 40cts; Boots or Shoes of any kind; era Carpet at 30cts a yard, go to Westeu velt's; where they sell all good at the lowest possible prices for Cash.

The cditQs of the Rt)v.l'kzn undertake; to be facetious in his last issue, but his

rimltironncc iroc nrAm:nAn( il, - ' PV rtvullut luafc. U1L. ( result 7as merely a saiv-uic grjn jje bail a good deal to say about somebody wlioni he denominates the "great Tycoon" of the democratic party. Just who is meant is, perhaps, not very clear, but uo 1 matter The greatest Tvcoon th - : xca quarters at tb" -?nmgtou ; head j thon1 " White house. He is i -nt to be somewhat expert in the use of political pact-thread, and we may therefore expect that a large number of saucy, ! grinning, political coons throughout the i country will be effectually tied during the ; course of the coming autumn. Look out neighbor for the great Tycoon. The June meeting of the Board of County Commissioners will bo held at the tourt House, commencing on the first ' " .Monday of the month. This is usually the , most important term of the year, as the taxes are then assessed. We hope the Board will levy a sufficient tax to erect fireproof buildings for the county and court records, and to repair the jail. The destruction of the Court House by fire would result in a loss incalculable to the citizens of the county, and the Board should not feel in the least snucamish over .. r. , . .. . the nuestion oi increased taxation to the extent necessary for the protection of the interest of the people. Give us the fires proof ofhecs and make the jail a secure retreat for offenders against the law. It is strange that men will get drunk passing strango that any man will get drunk a second time. Men of sense, of influence, possessing all the elements of rational manhood ; men having honorable standing in community yield to the debasing and demoralizing influence of strong drink until it proves their ruin. Half a pint of whiskey imbibed by two men of strong passions has been known to produc a fight resulting in enmity and continued ilKwill between those who had before been the best of friends. Heputatiou ruined, j business destroyed, health undermined, property squandered, family reduced to beggary and rags, friends alienated and self-respect departed arc among the results of the habitual use of strong drink as a 1 beverage. Young man stop, don't voluntarily place yourself on the way that leads to destruction. Father, as you value the welfare of your son, don't set him an example which if followed will surely end in degradation and misery. BOURBON CORRESPONDENCE. Eounnox, May 23d, 100. Eds. üemockat : Our usually quiet town has been unusually so for the past two weeks. Nothing has occurred here of general interest and I have but little now worthy of note to write you. The United Brethren are fairly under hc? with thcIr 11CW cl,urch- Tt brick, and when complctod will pros is of ent a very respectable appearance. Tlu two small doors to the entrance way, I think, mars its otherwise symmetrical proportions. Dogberry, you know, says :cddication comes by natur." If our school trustees don't soon go to work to complete our school house, wc shall conclude if our children get any education at all it .will have to "come by natur." The comple tion of tho building is demanded by the tax payers, and all interested in schools, and those having control of the matter should make a "desperate effort' to have it done at once. Some anonymous scribbler rejoicing over the ma dc phi me of "Scuacherib,'' (whatever that may be,) sent the RcpuLfi'an1 last week, a halfcolumn of stuffabout our corporation election and a couple of democrats, whom it seems he has a particular spite at. If "Scuacherib" feels better now that he has relieved himself of such a wonderful amount of gas, he and his friends ought to be satisfied The democrats are content. Bourbon is thoroughly demo cratic, and "that's what's tho matter." "Senachrib ! " you were beaten fair ly ! Acknowlegc the corn if it docs go against the grain ! The people of Bourbon go " heavy" on groceries. Tho ninth grocery store has just been started! Mr. Linn has com menced a business room just west of main street. I am not informed as to the kind of business to be transacted in it. I learn that Cohoe, one of the unfortunate husbands of Mrs. Larue Cohoe Wilson, who figured in this place fjuitc recently, had one of his legs amputated r short time ago near Indianapolis. It is a "serious matter," but I should think he would want somebody to "saw his leg off." S. Sc M. Beeker arc reeeivinr tho lar gest and choicest selection of Dry Goods, Clothing and Furnishing goods ever brought to this market. They were bought at the lowest figures in the eastern markets, and can therefore, bo sold cheaper than such goods can be bought at any other house in town. They have, and expect to keep in their employ, those two princes of good feK lows, Freesc and S hook, who will do the agreeable, and wait on their customers with affability and despatch. Honesty, fur dealing, and low prices will be the characteristics of the firm in their treatment of customers.

TT conscoueutl" w me citizens, lie Jr- 'V1 f opinion that the old rd were worthy of censure b?au? thocrt h7nfa fmt 4hi oifirinc cmr nflMor That the taxes last year were higher thau they hud general!' been before, is true, but it is also true that the ordinary cx penditures of the Corporation were les3 than usual, and that the increase I taxation was in consequence of the purchase of an Engine and Hose and the construction of a large cistern, together with the incidental outlay necessary to render the Fire Department effective. Does the Republican man object to this expenditure ? Ah ! " but the cistern leaks," and so has many an one before it. To remedy this au atlditional coat of cement is nccessary, which will cost perhaps fifty or a hundred dollars more. He thinks it will cost five hundred dollars to put on a single coat of cement. Wc presume he estimates the cost from his knowledge of the way in which his political associates havo, during the war, and ever since when occasion offered, been in the habit of fleceing the public ; or else he wrcto the article for last week's Republican while in a fit of mental hallucination. His .igurcs and calculations in this instance arc no more trust worthy than his court and calculations were in connection with the Delinquent List. He wants to find fauh and where there is uo cause in fact, he manufactures one in appearance and then grumbles. Removal. A. C.
