IMPROVEMENTS IN NEWTON CO.

Wo learn that a distillery is about being 1 erectod at the county seat of Newton county. Whether Governor Willard is interested in p it (the distillery 1 ) we are not advised. We fhink however it is quite likely be maybe. Certainly his feelings in relation to such institutions would not stand in the way of such connection, and the business seems very appropriate for the man who being chief magistrate of the State of Indiana and the recognized head of the Democratic party in the State, could so far forgot what % was due to decency, self-respect and the good of the public as to locate the county seat in the extreme corner of the county for the sake of enhancing the value of his own land. Besides it is necessary that the Governor after this display of Democracy should at once engage in the manufacture of platform to keep the party ip fhst county together.
