The ladies’ baziar, in John Eger’s old grocery room, a very interesting and attractive place, with its many artichs beautiful and curious.

“I don't never read them lyin newspapers,” said Farmer Bailhay to the gentleman in the next seat. “Tha’s right,” repeated his fellow passenger, “you can’t believe a word they say.” And on the strength of * the slight acquaintance thus formed, the polished stranger sold the self sufficient countryman two brass bricks for $1,500 each. The fate of Charley W ise, a youny man of 24, of Delphi, who went to California last June, and later disappeared from St. Louis, Mo., in the latter part of August, when on his way home, has at last been discovered.

The papers m the libel suit of John Spacey, *of Ambia, Benton county, against John P. Carr, Jr., editor of the Fowler Leader, have been filed in the county clerk’s office, having been sent here from ' Benton county on a change of venue. The alleged grounds for the suit are that the Leader published a statement to the effect that Mr. Spacey had refused to answer a grand jury summons, and had therefor stayed in jail about a week, and paid a fine of $lO. The

complaint states that the circulation of the Leader is 2,000 copies, and that the damage done Mr. Spacey was $2,000: that is to say, each copy of the paper containing the alleged injurious allegation, damaged Mr. Spacey just one dollar. Thecirculation of tne Leader is certainly greatly over stated, and it is possiole, also, that the damage done Mr. Spacey is estimated at a pretty large flgurer. The complaint does not state whethe the allegations upon which the suit is based, were true or not

The Ihdiana state teachers’ association will hold its annual meeting at Indianapolis, December 26 and 27. The headquarters for the association will be the auditorium of Plymouth church. The program, including those of the various sections, is too extensive to even give an intelligible resume. The ablest educators of the state have places upon it, and the meeting will undoubtedly be one of the very best ever held, and* well worth to teachers and scientists the cost and trouble of attendance. Those who attend can secure reduced railroad rates, if in buying their tickets to- Indianapolis, they will remember to obtain from their home lailroad station agents, a certificate showing that they have paid full fare to Indianapolis. By doing this, they can get home at one third fare. If they negket getting this certificate they will get no reduction on their homeward track.

MONEY—Not to loan but to buy corn with. The way to prosper is to sell what you raise at got d figures. Therefore consult C. W. Coen before selling your grain and hay. J. F. ll.ff, whose trip to Milwaukee after his stolen team was mentioned last week, got back with them and the buggy, Ihursday, and all in good condition. He saw the eld thief in the Crown Point jail, and obtained accuiate information as to where the team was, and on arriving at Milwaukee found them without much trouble. A baker was using them on his delivery. The baker paid the thief, or his pal, $75, and a pair of ponies, for Iliff’s team and buggy. Of course the baker is left to hold the sack. The thief’s real name is said to be Charles Funkey. He is a respectable looking old fellow, about 65 years old. He has been in the horse stealing business about 12 years, and claims never to have been caught before. Milwaukee was his headquarters when not “on the road,” or on the way, as now, to “go over the road.” He has two or three confederates in Milwaukee, who are likely to get caught too, now that the head of their firm has been cornered at last. Mr. Iliff has spent a good deal of money, in one way and another in trying to get track of bis team, more probably than they are worth at present prices, but the Liverymen’s Anti-Horse Thief Association, of which he is a member, will now be required to pay him SIOO, which will in part re imburse his expenses.
