ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

We hear it from good authority that Hon. Wm. D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, and Gen. Benjamin Harrison, republican candidate for Governor cf Indiana, will* address the people of Jasper county sometime during the campaign upon the poltical issues of the day. Rev. 11. B. Miller and John Eger are the only nominees on the people’s ticket selected last Saturday, who can with accuracy be classed as democrats ; and the latter is yet a minor. All the democratic candidates before the convention for the important offices, were permitted to remain in obscurity. Expediency is as fatal a weapon among politicians, when scientifically wielded, as the jaw bone of an ass in the hands of Sampsou was among the gpgieut Philistines. . \

passed over their heads, and may their lives be as peaceful and fiereno as the morn of their union. A very pleasant affair was the surprise, yesterday, at the residence of Mr. Lewis L. Daugherty, gotten np by his family and relatives in hqpor of his 42d birthday. We regret very much being unable to attend, but not receiving notice until about noon, and being considerably behind with our business, we were prevented from participating in the enjoyments of the occasion. Nevertheless we are informed that it was a happy event, and that Mr. Daugherty was completely overwhelmed with surprise. Thanks to Miss Addie, the very amiable daughter of the Sheriff, for a bountiful supply of excellent cake. May she, as well as her father, live to enjoy many similar events.
