Mt. Vemon is to have a stave factory. The Vincennes Sun calls for the passage of a cow ordinance. The Rockport Sentinel has been enlarged and otherwise improved. Harvest hands in most of the counties command $2.50 per day and are scarce at that. Four additional teachers will be provided for the Mt Vernon public schools next year. Some well-informed farmers express the opinion that there will be a larger surplus of wheat and Irish potatoes in Orange county this season than was ever Tn it before. William Nox, who is a wealthy farmer of Lost River,Orange Co., recent, ly had a revelation by which he was directed to kill some body. It chanced that it came handy to practice on his wife, whom he killed last Thursday night as she lay asleep. He is now in jail at Paoli. The first new wheat of the season was received in New Albany the other day. It came from Boone township, Harrison county, and weighed sixty two pounds to the measured bushel, and was a part of a crop that will average thirty bushels to the acre. It sold at a premium, bringing $1.30 : er bushel—the regular price being $1.25. The saw-mill owned by Everson & Hanks, Whitesville, burned Monday. The origin of the fie is unknown, but there are strong suspicions of incendiary work, as there had been no fire in the mil) lor ten days. The firm will probably rebuild. Loss, including a little lumber, SI,BOO, with no insurance. Matilda Webb, a colored woman, who has been an inmate of the New Alt any County Asylum sixty years, died in that institution on Monday, aged 115 years. Matilda Webb came from Virginia to Indiana with George Rodgers Clark, and remembered many of the incidents of those early days. She lived many years in Harrison county. There is a good deal of excitement over the supposed abduction and seduction of two young girls living near Mitchel by two men connected with Cole’s circus. The girls are named Rose Stroud and Lillie Burgess, and are about fifteen years old. Parents and friends have gone to Vincennes to make at attempt to recover the girls.

The Height-Adams scandal investigation at Vincennes has endtd in tha entire exoneration of Miss Adams. The professor’s conduct was found to be reprehensible, but Miss Adams was not to blame for it. The board are contemplation the propriety of call ,ng her to her old position, as an act of justice to a victim of illtimed popular clamor. A little daughter of Thomas Price, of Xenia, was horribly bitten by a vicious sow on her father’s farm. It seems the little child approached the pen in which the sow, with her litter, was confined, carrying a small kiiten. It is presumed the animal mistook the kitten for one of her brood and attacked her. The' poor child was horribly mangled before the parents could reach the scene, and is now lying at the point of death from her injuries George Bevan has received a letter from the absconding cashier of the Logansport National Bank, Oscar Goodwin. Bevan refuses to reveal Goodwin’s whereabou s. A reporter was permitted to read a line or two of the letter, to this effect: “You will hear all kinds of talk about me, but you can just bet I’m all straight. I am alive, well, and broke.” The letter in question was dated June 26 and arrived July 1, so that it must have traveled quite a distance. It is believed that the writer is in the far West, and that his exact location will soon be known.

Ira Irwin, an eight-year-old son of Wm. Irwin, of Clay township, Howard county, while g >ing through a pasture on Mr. Irwin* s farm after a cow, was attacked by a sow and dangerously injured. The sow caught him by the right arm and then got him down,tore his right ear off, bit him in the right leg, and cut through the lower part of his bowels. His Clothes are torn into shreds. The little fellow fought hard to save himself, and finally succeeded in getting away from her and managed to walk about 100 yards from the fence, when he fell exhausted and where he was feu nd by his mother. He was resting easy at last accounts and his recovery is probable. The trustees of Purdue University find themselves much embarrassed by the effect of the recent decision of the Supreme Court, and, in order to obtain a more explicit statement as to the bearings of the decision, have adopted a resolution instruAing their attorneys to “flies petition fora rehearing. in the Supreme Court, to the end that all doubts respecting the authority of the trustees be removed, and the Hon. D. P. Baldwin, Attor-ney-General of the State, be requested to assist on behalf of the State, the said counsel on said petition for a rehearing.” The faculty, it is alleged, are very an clous to have the court remove all doubts respecting the authority of the trustees, which, it is claimed, is not now the case. The faculty claim the right to still require students to discontinue active connection with Greek fraternities, and want to enforce that rule, while the attorneys for the students construe the decision to mean that no pledge can be required of them, and threaten that suits will be brought if it is attempted to apply such rule.

The Delaware peach crop is now said by the Wilmington Star to be one of the largest in the history of the State. The enormous yield ol 1875 will not besurpassed, but (the harvest is not likely to give precedence to that of any other recent year. •■/’“Magnificent promises sometimes end in paltry performances ’ A magnificent exception to this is found in Kidney-Wort which invariably performs even more cures than it promises. Here is a single instance: “ Mother has recovered,” wrote an Illinois girl to her Eastern relatives. “She took bitters for a long time but without any good. So when she heard of the virtues of Kidney-Wort she got a box and it has completely cured her liver complaint.” The New Haven Register is pleased to learn that Mrs. Langtry will play Rosalind in this country. “So we shall not only see the face, but the form of this much vaunted beauty.” * Lynn, Mass., always was a good place for health, but it has become a modern Bethesda since Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkhum, of 233 Western Avenue, made her great discovery of the Vegetable Compouned, or panacea for the principal ills that afflict the fair creation. This differs, however, from the ancient scene of marvelous cures in this important particular: The healing agent, with all its virtues, can be sent to *order by express or mail all over the world. E. Q. Ingersoll, who has been chief counsel for ex-Miuister Chnstiancy in the unsavory divorce proceedings, has become insane, and is now in custody at his home. Heimmagined he had made $500,000 by five minutes’ brain work, and began making purchases to meet that sum. your old things look like new by using the Diamond Dyes, and you will be happy.
