Lots of huckleberries this year. Goipg to l»e plenty of blackberries soon. Grape vines in the gardens hereabouts are loaded with fruit. No bacon for sale in town this 'week. It would be worth from 10 to 12 cents a pound. A refreshing shower ol rain, was among the local attractions last Monday morning. The finest kind of Early Rose potatoes were retailing for 20 cents u peck in this placothis week. The early potato crop is good this year and the later varieties arc now promising well. The Francesville Local Topic syys that Mr. Thos. Robinson of Gillum townshp, this county, recently lost several head of cattle from black leg, and it fears the disease may become contagious. Notwithstanding that “tho early and the latter rains” have kept the surface of the earth sufficiently moist for the growth of vegetation, wells are getting low, and sloughs aud Btreanis are nearly dried up, causing a scarcity of stock water in some parts of the county. Tho corn crop of Jasper county ip as promising ns the average through Central Illinois, lowa, Northwestern Missouri, Eastern Nebraska, or Southeastern Kansas, and there is not a week’s difference iu the growth between the cx--trciues north and south. ■ •• "BHipe” shooting is good m this Vloinity at the present writing.— fthey are very lino birds and difficult lof the naked eye to distinguish from young prairio chickens. After the 15th of August they will have migrated from tho country; hence Iko eagerness with which they are ■ought by sportsmen. Within six weeks not less than ten persons havo returned from Kansas to Jasper county fully convinced that the Wimly State docs not hi tho aggregate possess advantages for securing pleasant homes superior to those found here. Our own brief observations lead us to the same conclusion. llop. G- A. Netluerton, of Knox, representative from Starke county in the State legislature, and Agent <of the State Temperance Alliance will lecturo in the Court House i next Saturday evening, 15th inst. The object of his lecturo is to establish a brunch of tho Temper*, ance Alliance in Rensselaer. Lecture free and everybody invited to attend.

Dunlap, Proprietor of tho Euglo llouho, ltcnssola'er, Indiana. Three county ofllcors raised up in the strength of their manhood yesterday morning, seized their little tomahawks and with determination pictured ou their martial brQws, wont forth to Georgo Washington the. superfluous limbs tiff the thrifty shade trees In Court House square. They did a noble work and very much Improved the appearance of tho park. Our patrons will without doubt agree with us that Col. Hammond displayed superiof editorial talent in ills conduct of the Union during our recelit absence. Ho is a convincing reasoncr, a strong writer, makes judicious selections from contemporary papers, Is industrious and enterprising; and should ho ever decide to quit the profession of law for that of tho pen and press he would certainly rank among the popular editors of the day. You can find a cheap Boot, Shoe, Gaiter or Slipper at Ludd Hopkins’s. Not more than half a dozen ministers out! of tho twenty-five or thirty expected to attend the Ministerial Association at this place yesterday and tho day before put in an appearance. There didn’t enough come to make any perceptible fiuciu&Ueu in the chicken market. It *hns been intimated that most of them remained in their studies poring over the lesson to be feund m Luke XIV, verses 18, 10' and 20, and the conference was a failure.

New spring styles of hats aud caps, for men and boys, at Ludd Hopkins’. . *

A* savage dog owned by Mr. James Maloy attacked little Willie Austin the other evening throwing him down and biting him .about the bead. Tho jdiigJiTa vicious brute, "good for noth4ng umler the sun amt ought to -Loir it led. If neighbors don’t wa tit- to kill him the next best tiling to do is ty prosecute his owner whenever any damage is done by the boast.— One or two sharp tines collected from Maloy might Induce him either tollis- j pose of his dog or keep him chained j up out of mischief. ■ J Tea Sets, Covered Dishes,] linkers, Steak Platters, tellers, Bowls, Pickle Dishes, etc., cheap, at Ludd Hopkins V At San Pierre last week we learned that the prospect for the early completion of the Plymouth, Kankakee and Pacific railroad across Jasper county and through the State are flattering indeed.— The. contract for building the whole line lias been taken by parties who are now at work clearing put under brush, cutting, filling, 'grading and tieing with the intention of having this preliminary work completed in season to have the iron laid down and cars passing over it before winter. It is understood that the Pennsylvania Central railroad company has contracted to lay down the iron and put. on the rolling slock as soon as the road bed is prepared. The prospect As. so favorable and people have so much confidence in the early completion of the enterprise'that parties have contracted for large tracts •of the iron ore long known to exist along tho Kankakee river in Jasper county, with the intention of erecting furnaces for manufacturing pig iron as soon as the road is completed and facilities secured for transportation to .market. Why buy Fine Gut Chewing Tobacco by the ounce and pay 10 cents, or &I.GO a pound, when you can get the same ar : tide by the pound for sl, at Ludd Hopkins’s? In our recent trip westward we saw a number of people who had formerly been residents of Jasper county* At Chicago Juno 2Gtli wc met General Robert H, Milroy who was en route for Cheyenne to enter upon his duties ns United States Marshal of Wyoming Territory. On the train from Kansas City to Omaha was Rev. Horace A. Mayhoxv, formerly pastor of thq Presbyterian church at Rensselaer, on his way to take ministerial charge of a congregation in, California. At Lincoln, the capital of Nebraska, were Messrs. Albert J. Guthridge, Peter Glover and Ferguson Payne looking healthy and seomidgly with their situation.' At Fort Scott were Rev. J. C. Post, formerly pastor of the Baptist church here now having chargo over a church in that city, looking perhaps a trifle-more plethoric, with increased lilies of age bn his brow and threads of silver mingling with hi* hoard and hiiijv but healthy and so far as we know satisfied wjjb the present; nlsb John E. Trent and our brother 1

Henry, who though m excellent health were not so plonunntly situated us they would like and wjio owned to a feeling of disappointment in regard to the business of the present and the promises of tho future in that city. In Crawford county wc visited our father, mother, sisters and brother Char’ley, struggling with the vicissitudes incident to a new country and the privations, trials and disadvantages that beset, the pioneer farmer. Sickness, long continued and severe, is sorely trying ' Mr. James’ physical constitution aud the younger members of bis family sigh for the friends, comforts and advantages of Jasper county civilization. New goods in the Boot aud Shoe line, to bo sold at lowest figures, in particular a class of Fine Boots among which if a mail finds a fit and pays me $7 lie will get a warranted boot. Ludd Hopkins’s* There was trial of mowers at the Martin fafm on last Thursday afternoon in tho presence of some two hundred people, among whom we "noticed many of the leading farmers of the county. The ground selected for tho trial was tolerably even and covered with a heavygrowth of timothy and clover, 'standing erect except in occasional spots where it was down and somewhat tangled. There were ten mowers on tho ground, the names of which appear in tho report of the judges. They all did good work. Nearly every machine had plenty of friends, but if tho spectators had been called upon to decide winch was tho best it is doubtful whether the majority would have given any one the preference. In fact the decision of the judges is, so far ns we can learn, -unanimously approved and'“commended by. those present at tlietriah The following is the decision with the ha life's of the judge.- appended: The undersigned selected as fjuclgKß si'-'the trial of the mowers ; on the Martin farm near lleusse- : bu r, this day, wherein the following machines were entered, viz: TilC Yankee, Champions, (Nos. 3 ■ & i) Quaker, Russell, Buckeye, Clipper, Planet, Sherwood anil Wood report that in our opinion all of said machines do 'good work, but that ijge are unable! to 'decide which of said machines is of the lightest draft, greatest durability or busiest handled. have our individuaFproferences, but a majority of A»s are not able to agree upon any one'machine.
