SHADE-TREE MEETING.

Sickles trial, now in progress, is creating great sensation in Washington City. The court room is crowded to excess every day, and many fail to gain an entrance. - v - prairie took fire a mile or two ■ outh of town one day last week, and the fire ran through two or three farms before it was extinguished, doing very little injury, however. (kt/The Valparaiso Republican has again changed hands, Dr. Cameron, who retired from its management last fall, reascending the “tripod.” We cordially welcome the Doctor back to his first love. He is an able and fearless editor and a good fellow generally. Success to you this time, friend Cameron. (£7"We notice that the South Bend Register has been enlarging its borders, which greatly enhances its worth and appearance. ; »We are glad to observe this token of prosperity, as it is an excellent paper, and one from which we frequeiHly select. We also see the name of Hon, Schuyler Colfax again at the editorial head. We welcome friend Colfax back to the editorial fraternity. (piyThe New York Mercury announces that it has secured the services of Bayard Taylor for a., year, as a contributor to that journal, beginning on the 30th inst. He is to write songs, sketches, incidents of trav- ! el, and the like. We had a good deal rather read his papers than Everett's “ten thousand i dollar”documents. Those who want to read i “Bayard’s?’ admirable sketches must send for j the Mercury, $2 a year. ~ ■

AU those interested in having the Public Square shaded, are requested to attend a meeting in relation thereto, at the Treasurer’s office, on to-morrow (Thursday) night.

R. H. MILROY,

Chairman of Committee.
