Isaac Kinley has bought the San Jose College building in California, and opens it about the Grstof August. The new Couneilmen were sworn in last night, and the city officers elect entered upon their respective duties, by being sworn in and giving bond. R. O. Dormer ia able to bo out though "inching along' with a cane. Abraham of old was blessed with a boy, but his "heft"' is not given. The Independent credits Abe, of the Strattan line, with a "ten pounder." "Wash. Stiggleman goes to Spring Grove, near Cincinnati, in a few days, to "catch the shadows" of the beautiful monuments in that city of the dead. - The caution is timely to "keep your front doors locked both day and night" A thief entered Depty Sheriff Strattan's house on South Fifth, and stole a box , of jewelry and an album. Thirteen colored persons were ! baptized by Rev. Brookshire, on j last Sabbath, in White water. Dar- ' ing the past winter the accessions to the Weslyan Church hare been ; quite large. .-- Storm and Fire. Sunday morning last, our city was visited by a terrific storm of wind and lightning the latter struck Garret , Sch'nelle's stable, and set it on fire. The steamers were called out, and the fire quickly subdued the roof of the i stable only being destroyed. The i loss is covered by insurance. We hope, as soon as our new Coun- ! cil are organized, that all the neces- ; eary reforms experience has pointed out will be speedily adopted. This , is the good hour to commence trimming and pruning off all excressences, in the interest of economy and retrenchment. We hope our city fathers will not spare the use of the knife skillful surgery is needed just about this time. We shall await with patience the first move in this direction by our city authorities. Death la Busy. Our old citizens are disappearing, one by one, and soon those who are past the half century line will have taken their departure. On Friday last, after a brief illness, Mrs. Keziah Benton, wife of the late Thomas Benton, deceased. Her age was about 80, and she was a good woman beloved and respected by all acquainted with her. She was buried last Sunday at the Elkhorn Cemetery. On Monday last, FieldiDg Young, who has been quite unwell for some length of time, died. His age was about 66 years. He was buried at Maple Grove Cemetery, yesterday afternoon. Richmond Horticultural Society. Last Saturday, the Society met at Jos. C. RatlifF s, and there wns a good attendance, and a most excellent and profitable meeting. After a sumptuous dinner, to which the large crowd did ample justice, the society got down to business. Mr. Daniel Sulla, from the Agricultural Committee, reported the prospect for paying crops to the farmer and horticulturist, as poorer than at any time within his recollection. In consequence of scarcity of pasture, fat beef cattle will be high. His hopes are concentrated on the corn crops, and he report the ground as "being in as -fine condition as he ever knew." The facts gathered fr.m remarks of different members, show that the clover crop has been very badly damaged by the April freeze oaly a few cherries, apples and pears left a fair prospect for an excellent crop of vegetables. Mr. Stevens remarked by way of encouragement, that once when fruit prospects were about as gloomy as at present, he had offered his anticipated crop for 50; but at the outcome, be gold his crop for $1,200. Dr. Mitchell, in a brief essay, gives the chinch and pquash bugs particular destruction, and wants everybody to help. Wis advice is good. Oar friend Jos. 31. Bulla read a most excellent address on Agriculture and its Influence, which we ehall find room for on the first page of next Palladium.

Burglars entered the residence of Fred. Vcrcgge, on South Franklin street, Monday night, stealing $15

in cash, and a silver watch, and jew elry generally. Unman Xatarc About th Mmr. The fact is, there's plenty of human nature all over the land, and it's as near alike as two peas. For instance here's a paragraph lrom Liberty, which we clip from the Herald of that place, and if the name of "Lyceum" or "Phillips," were substituted for that of "Ballinger," in designating the Hall, the paragraph would be a perfect photograph of the condition here : "Let some traveling humbug come to town, with an admission fee of 25 cents, and Ballinger's Hall would be crowded; announce a leetufe, on science, literature, history, or-any other useful subject, admission free, and the speaker is bewildered with a house full of empty seats." Death of an Express Robber. A bold attempt was made to rob the express on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne fc Chicago Road, on Friday night, 7th inst, by H.C. Binkley, of Fort Wayne, a former conductor of the road, who had been discharged for gambling. He secreted himself on the cars sawed out a pannel of the door? and whilst George H. Price, the express mesf enger wasreading, Binkley suddenly made his appearancj before him, (having-his face covered with black muslin,) and demanded his sur render. The messenger jumped from his chair and drew bis revolver, but before he could shoot, the robber fired at him twice, one ball taking effect in his right wrist, and the other wounding his chin and lodging in his right shoulder. Price then look deliberate aim and fired, shooting the robber Fquare in the forehead, killing him in-tantlv. Binkley resided in Fort Wayne, where he has a wife and two children his body was taken there for interment. Surprises are now in order On the anniversary of their tenth marriage year, Elwood Stiattau and wife were visited by a tin avalanche everv conceivable article in the tinware line was p resented to them, and the company brought baskets of good things, and a good time ensued. On the occasion of the first year of the marriage of J. Ed. Iliff and wife a "pound" surprise came offeach visitant taking with him or her a pound of some useful article. The surprise was complete, and the sarprisers and surprised had a pleasant time. Henry Knopf having arrived at his thirty -seventh birth day, a number of his friends gave him an un expected call at his residence sat out a splendid supper, and had a jolly good- time. Three cheers for Henry and all the re6t of the Knopfs, big and little. Whisky Frnnl. Simultaneously at St. Louis, Chicago, and Milwaukee, officers of the United States seized upon distilleries in all these places. At St. Louis, about a dozen distilleries were seized for evading the revenue laws, and illicit distillation. About 1,600 barrels were seized at St. Louis. At Chicago several establishments were visited, but nothing officially has transpired. Two rectifying, and about five distilleries were either seized or placed in charge of keepers, at Milwaukee. Secretary Bristow is carrying the war into the Whisky Ring. He has a large contract, and has the vigorous support of the President. II. T. Yaryan, Agent, of the Government, accompanied by some eight or ten of our citizens, were assisting in the work at St. Louis. We presume they will be at home before the close of this week. The Independent of yesterday has the following items: Mr. and Mrs. James I. Morrisson, and Mrs. W. G. Scott, are at San Jose, California, enjoying strawberries and ice cream. A little daughter of Mr. Patton, on Green street, came near being suffocated by falling into the vault of a privy, from which fate her mother rescued her. Mr. Clawson, dairyman, had his house robbed of jewelry, wearing apparel, and his account books, a few nights ago. Our new Mayor, Dr. Hibberd performed bis first marriage cere mony on Monday last. George F. Nordmann and Maggie True were the happy pair. List or Letters Remaining in the PostorBce at Richmond, (Indiana, May 12th, 1S75. A. B. Alexander, Albert S.

THE XODEL SUBSCRIBER. Good morning, Mr. Editor; how are all the -- folks to-day? I owe you for next year's paper, I thought

I'd come and pay, And Stuart Is agoin to take it, and this is his money here; I shut down on lendin' it to him, and then coaxed him to try it a year. And here is a few items that happened last week in our town; I thought -they'd look good in the paper, and so I just dotted them down. And here's a bushel of russets my wife picked expressly for yon; A small bunch of flowers from Jennie, she tho't she must do something, too. You're doin the politics bully, as all our family agree; Just keep your old goose -quill a liappin' and give them a good one for me. And now you are chuck full of business, and I won't be taking your time, I've tilings of my own I must 'tend to good day, sir, 1 believe I will climb. Jimmy Varley, at Nestor's, has on sale the egs of a new breed of game chicfcens weniootea "irisn grays." Quack! quack! At Eiton, Ohio, Monday 26th., El more Thomas, who killed George Shaw last August, and was convicted of murder in the second degree, was sentenced by Judge Hume to the pen itentiary for hie. FROM MILTON. Milton, Ind., May 10, 1S75. Our 31. D.'a report but two cases of sickness in town at present, aud they are convalescent. Arehart Kesslcr, for many years past a resident of this place, and for some of his ways, not entirely unknown to community, died on Saturday night of dropsy. Buried at Conncrsville, Indiana. A Mr. Penny, with a large force, has broken ground on the lots of Natlffin Spencer, in the suburbs of town, for two brick-kilns, each to contain one hundred and eighty thousand brick. I. L. Commons & Co. have commenced work in the erection of -their furniture factory, and intend to rapidly push it to completion. The plan includes the erectiou of a wareroom and other outhouses, separate from the main factory building. Warren & Gard have moved into the new store room, just completed by B. F. Witiner & Co., with a large Ptoek of dry goods, and in the arrangement ot their show caes and fancy goods, exhibit a taste for tidiness equal to city merchants. The Hoo.ier Drill Company employs the present year 117 hands, and has orders for 3000 corn planters, an equal number of wheat drills, besides several hundred other machines. The company is making arrrangements to greatly enlarge its working and producing powers the coming fall, by ad ditional shops, machinery, etc. Its capital stock is being increased, also, every year. A locomotive attached to a freight train coming up on Friday night, on the Valley road, undertook,' a few miles below town, to run oyer a wooden glut that some reckless, if not wicked person, had placed on the rail, but in so undertaking was knocked from the track, making a complete wreck of five cars and their contents, but fortunateb' not seriously injuring any one. Saturday night last, the 8th, was one of furious drenching, rain and st;rm in this vicinity continuing until next morning, accompanied with incessant flashes and peals of nature's heaviest artillery lightning and thunder. It looked and sounded as though the elements of fire, water and wind, had combined in one desperate attack to break and dissolve the cold icy fetters that have so long been holding back our planting and vegetation s. -son. Next morning the rain ceased the sky cleared, the sun shone out warmly, and while fences, bridges and culverts were gone, our streets were scrubbed; and the foliage of our yards, shrubs and trees, seemed to dance with delight at. the sudden though violent opening of spring. The wheat crop in Washington township will be below the average yield, aud this partial failure presents some strange freaks for the curious. Last fall J. T. Gard, a farmer on the north of town,owed two fields adjoining each other, with equal care aud nearly of equal area. Is ow one is as bare as the pavement in a city, while the other presents as fine a prospect for a large yield as was ever seen. On last Saturday evening John Warren, one of our butchers, bought two very large fat hogs, for which he paid a large price, intending to work them up for sale. He put them in a pen at his slaughter yard, not far from a small branch that runs by and empties into the river a mile below. That night the rain and flood came, and next morning he went to his slaughter yaid and found that both pcu and hogs had gone down the branch. John has been gone ever since, also, and the last heard of him was from a farmer, who saw him searching among some drift, down the river, calling "pig-oh!" as it he wanted to feed swine. Mart. Brown, one of our grocery merchants, wishing to vary his summer employment, has concluded to try his hand at farming again, and has leased some ground of his father, (no other person being willing to let him have any), to raise potatoes, cabbage, aud onions. He is very particular about inquiring for good seed, as he saj-s that what he plautod last year produced more weeds than potatoes, lie has already frozen his fingers while planting onion sets. A few days after our recent corporation election a fish monger,from one of our neighboring towns, applied to a member of the town board for a license to peddle fish f or a month within the corporation limits. Said member issued the license, and it is said took the price, $3.00, out in fish, and feeling so elated oyer his recent election that he, divided them equally among his fellow-members, -and no account has been made of the transaction to the town Treasurer. We men tion this item on account of the talk and feeling it has made, and to let all concerned remember that it will be remembered at the next election. A short time since a foreman in one of the departments of the Woolen Mill factory having some spare cash on hand thought to sieculate some by buying geese; have his wife dress them for the feathers, and he ship them, to Cincinnati. After he had got a large lot on hand he met two dealers who were in the general poultry trade, but shipping to Nw York.

One of the two read to our foreman from a Cincinnati pajwr that the price of all kinds of poultry was rapidly declining there. He at once became alarmed and sold out his entire stock to the two poultry dealers at quite a loss, and did not discover until it was too late, that the Cincinnati paier from which his friend had read, was printed over twenty years ago. The

two dealers realized handsomely, and Jooathan has since turned his attention to the Beecher-Tilton scandal taking sides with Beecher aud de nouneing, in unmeasured terms, any and all persons who will injure another, either religiously or pecuniarily. Indkx. A State Convention of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the M. E. Church will be held in New Albany commencing the 14th inst. A Vermont woman, who recently followed the remains of her late irregular husband to the grave, remarked that she had one consolation, she knew now where he slept of nights. A Kentucky young lady, who promised her grandfather never to marry a certain young man on the face of the earth, went through the interesting ceremony in the Mammoth Cave. Attorney General Buskirk has decided that the money obtained for liquor licenses must be distributed to the various school corporations of each county in which licenses aie obtained. The Indianapolis Herald says that Cutler S. Dobbins, of Martin county, is writing a Fourth of July oration. His diet is grated horse-radish ud sulphur cocktails. A destructive fire occurred in New Harmony last Saturday night w"eek. Buildings and property amounting to $12,000 were consumed and a number of families were made homeless. There were 8,226 acres devoted to the culture of tobacco in the counties of Dubois, Spencer and Perry in 1874, which yielded 3.975,000 pounds of the weed, that sold for $357,150, making an average of 43.50 per acre. The Shelby viile Republican says that hundreds of acres of wheat is being plowed up, and the ground will be planted in corn, all on account of the late freeze. It is going the paragraphic rounds' that a year old baby has been forwarded by express, in New Hampshire, which is not remarkable, as the baby hadn't learned to talk, and, of course, couldn't exDress itself. A foppish fellow advised a friend not to marry a poor girl, as he would find matrimony with poverty "up-hill work." "Good, said his friend; "I would rather go up hill than down hill any time. An old man by the name of Anthony Gossen, was found dead in a tannery in Mt. Carmel, last Monday night. It is not known how or when he died, and when discovered his face and hands were badly eaten with rats. He was an intemperate man and it is supposed he died in a drunken spree. Another temperance fcrmon. i The ease of John Bull, of Louisville, should be a warning to all young men who contemplate "swearing off" from tobacco. John had been an inveterate smoker from his youth up, and frequently used as many as fifteen cigarssa day. .About two weeks ago he gave up smoking, and two days thereafter gave up the ghost. Gibson county has an organized society for the protection of birds. All persons are warned, under certain penalties, not to shoot birds on the premises of any of the members of the society. Every county in the State should organize similar societies. Who will move in the matter in Wayne county? "The revisers of the Biblo have reached Isaiah in twenty eight sessions."' This is very slow work. Old Whaxcni, schord-master, reached Isaiah in one session. Isaiah was in the act of placing a crooked pin on the master's ecat at the time. "Dan," said a little, four-year old, "give me sixpence to buy a monkey." 1 We have got one monkey in the house now,'" replied the elder brother. "Who is it, Dan?" asked the little fellow. "You," was the reply. "Then give me sixpence to buy the monkey some nut." The brother could not resist. Randolph county is out of debt and has $30,000 in her treasury. 1 1 is almost needless to add that Randolph gives about 1,200 Republican majority every time. Exchange. Look on that picture and then on this. Knox counts' is in debt nearly $200,000 and has very little money in her treasury, but a mighty bad "ring" about it. It is needless to add she gives over six hundred Democratic majority. Vincenucs Times. The Graphic of the 2Sth inst., pub lished a striking cartoon at the expense of the New York Herald the secular organ of the Pope in the United States. It is an extravagant portrait, of 3'oung James Gordon Bennett barefooted in priestly robes that are of Herald papal editorials, encyclicals, and-so-forth, inscribed "The Papal Bennett-dic-tion." Bennett stands with his back toward a mirror, which reflects the head and ears of a jackass. Dayton Journal. One of the meanest acts ever perfetrated was the change of the postal aws, made by the Congress at the instance and for the benefit of the express companies, for the purpose of excluding merchandise from the mails, which has the incidental effect of doubling the charges upon transient newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, and miscellaneous literature. The postage , upon this sort of matter is made so oppressive, that its circulation will be much reduced, and there will probably be a loss of revenue. The measure was smuggled through Congress in an appropriation bill, and the gentlemen concerned in the transaction will be called to an account by an outraged and indignant people. Winchester Journal. To all of which we say amen! It should not be forgotten that "we three men" Beecher, Bowen, and Tilton are able editors. At tbe time of their solemn covenant they had charge respectively of the Christian Union, the 1 ndependent, aud the Golden Age. Bowen was sweet on Beecher until Beecher became his own newspaper publisher. Then Bowen began to tell frightful stories about Beecher's relations with women. When Tilton proposed to tell Beecher ol these stories Bowen became frantic. But it was arranged between Bowen and .Tilton that Beecher should be smashed, and Tilton wrote his "crazy" letter, which Bowen took to Beecher. Having started this rumpus Bowen dodged. His part in the case is that of a sneaking sort of Iago.

The "Indiana Farmer generally has news from all parts of the State in regard to the crops. We append a few of the latest: In Brown county the late cold weather has killed all fruit. Wheat badly damaged. Blackford county, wheat looks well; winter peaches all killed. Ripley county, the fruit is all killed. Peaches would have been in bloom iu a few days, but the cold snap literally froze them on the trees. Wheat is all killed, farmers having plowed theirs up and sowed oats. Greene county, wheat looks well. " Decatur county, clover and wheat aro badly winter killed. Caterpillars are abundant. Howard county, wheat looks very bad. The lice in the winter killed it out in the low land, and the cold snap in April gave it a backset. Peaches all killed; cherries about half killed; apples all . right; flax and oats all saved. Spencer county, fruit js all killed without doubt. Wheat is considered badly injured. Bartholomew county, wheat is looking better than was expected after the sever winter. Monroe county, fruit all killed; wheat that was 60wn early, and in

"good order, looks well, with plenty of chinch bugs; late sown badly frozen out. - Dearborn county, wheat is almost a total failure. The late hard freezing wrought great, if not total, destruc-.tion-Jto the fruit buds. Franklin county, wheat much injured. Some are plowing their wheat up and sowing oats. . Knox county, fruit all gone. Wheat is scorched, and looks as if a fire had gone over the fields. Vigo county, the wheat is dying from the chinch bug and dry weather. Fruit is almost all killed. In Jefferson county, the late cold snap was most disastrous to the fruit, nearly all being killed; and the winter grain not much better. Orange county, the wheat is badly injured by freezing. Prospect for early peaches and fruit discouraging. Jackson county, the wheat looks very bad, and much of it has been broken up for corn. Extensive preparations have been made for a corn and melon crop. This is emphatically a melon county. The reports from all parts of the State exhibit about the same showing as the above in regard to the crops. Forelgru. The German Emperor has given his assent to the introduction of a bill abolishing religions orders in Prussia. A portion of the Carlist forces on tho frontier of Navarre have revolt ed. They demand peace and sub mission to Alfonso. Tho death is announced from Paris of the famous traveler and artist Jean Frederic De Woldeck, at tho extraordinary age of 110 years. The Daily News announces that the Earl of Pembroke will resign the under Secretaryship of War, and be succeeded by Lord Cardigan. It is said that the Prussian gov ernment intends to ignore the letter of sympathy addressed by the Ro"ina"n Catholic Bishops ' of Great Britain to those of Germany. The report of Mr. J. B. King, Grand Secretary for Ontario, Canada, of the order of Odd Fellows, shows a total actual membership in thai province of 9,21G. French and English gunboats are ordered to the banks of Newfoundland to prevent threatened trouble between the fishermen of each nation this summer. King Alfonso received the Papal Nuncio at Madrid, Spain. Tuesday, and he said he was aware of his duties, gratitude, and affection to the Holy Father, and should fulfill them. The North German Gazet te gives a positive denial to tho statement in American papers that a company has been organized in Berlin to facilitate the return to Germany of German emigrants in the United SEates. At the opening of the Presbyterian Synod in London, Tuesday, the Moderator referred to the revival movement set on foot by Moody and Sankoy, and expressed cordial sympathy with them in their religious work. The Unita Cattolica of Rome comments in bitter terms on the installation of the Prince of. Wales as the head of the order of Masons in Great Britain, and declares that this act identifies the Anglican Protestants with Masonry. Paris was full of rumors of war on . Thursday, Germany being claimed to be on the aggressive and desririDg the further humiliation of France. The London Times, however,'in its editorial columns, scouts the apprehensions raised by the alarmists and tho alarmed in . Paris. A terrible explosion occurred on the afternoon of April 30 in Bunk er's Hill colliery. North Stafford shire, England, while the men were at work. Forty one bodies of dead miners were recovered from the mine, most of whom leave large families. Three additional deaths were reported Monday. In the British House of Com mons, Tuesday evening,Mr. Oclery withdrew his motion for the recognition by Great Britain of belligerent rights of the Carlists in Spain. Mr. Bourke, the under secretaiy for tbe foreign department, stated tfcat there was no reason to depart from the policy of non interference observed during the previous civil wars in Spain. The London Mark Lane Express this week says that during April there have been sharp night frosts and a short allowance of rain. Un less there is more of the latter, forage will be scarce. Corn threat ens to be late, whatever may be its bulk. "In France wheat and rye have already suffered much In Russia sowers have actually been driven off by the enow. The markets generally show a decline in prices of from sixpence to a shilling.

The British government intends to send the frigate Valorous to sur

vey JJafin'B Bay and the North Atlantic. In tha British Houso of Com mons, a few nights since, Mr. Sullivan made inquiries whether the members of the American riflo team, who were coming to take part in the international rifle con test, would be exempted from the obligations of th6 law forbidding the carrying of arms. Sir Michael Beach, Chief Secretary for Ireland, said arrangements had been made to prevent interference with the American riflemen, and they would have no reason to complain of the operation of this or any other law, A dispatch of Wednesday from Kingston, Jamaica, via Havana, says: "A revolution broke out in Port au Prince Sunday. Gen. Brice was dragged from church and shot. Forty foreigners have been killed. Among the victims is a servant of the British ConsulGeneraL Buildings were fired, and every species of disorder pre vailed. A state of siege has Jbeen proclaimed. A British gunboat is there and another will be sent to morrow. Steamers were not permitted to enter the port and land cargoes here. t. The Prussian Minister of Public Instruction on Saturday introduced in the lower house of the Diet a bill providing for tho suppression of religious orders in Prussia. The bill provides that all religious or dcrs shall be excluded from Prussia, existing establishments are forbidden to receive members, and their present organization must be uissolvcu within six months after the passage of this bill. Partial exception is made in favor of religions bodies engaged in the work of education,, which may prolong their existence four years, those whose object is tho care of the Fick may continue their organization, but are liable to dissolution at any moment. Associa tions thus continuing are to be subject to the supervision of gov ernment officials. The property of convents is not confiscated, but will be temporarily administered by the State. X Appointments. The Indianapolis Journal, re gardingtho appointment of Messrs Turner. Second Assistant Postmaster General; John C. New, United States Treasurer; and Mr. Pratt, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, well says: "It is hardly necessary to scek,as many papers are doing, for political, or any other motives in these appointments but their inherent fitness. We do not say that the three gentlemen above named are the only ones in the United States capable of filling these offices, but we have no hesitation in expressing our opinion that three better men for the positions could not possibly be found." Another ocean disaster is added to the long list of the past. On Friday night the steamship Schiller, of the Eagle line, bonnd from New York to Hamburg, struck one of the small rocky islands of the Scilly groupe, lying off the southwest coast of England, and sunk. The vessel had on board about two hundred and eighty passengers, mostly Germans, and of these only about forty are reported saved. Among the lost are quite a number from Chicago, Milwaukee, and other Western cities. The weather was foggy, and tbe steamer lost her reckoning, although under the command of an experienced and careful captain. The Tribune s.iys Bowen did not reveal, if be possessed the great secrett, that it has been popularly supposed he knew about the scan dal, and the general effect produc cd by his testimony is disappointment. The Herald says a great deal more evidence from Bowen had been looked for. It was the old story of the mountain in labor and tho mouse being the mighty off spring of the parturition. Bowen, for months, has given the public the notion that he bad the key of the secret, and sufficient material in his possession to destroy either side. The truth was sadly wanted, and Bowen alone was the man who could furnish it. Bowen, by his oracular utterances, heightened the popular delusion that he carried around in the gloomy recesses of his soul the terrible facts that lay at the bottom of the scandal; but, after all, the potential Bowen has left the stand without fulfilling anything like the promises made on his behalf. Perhaps Beauregard would be a nice candidate for Vice President. This might be included in the platform : "Charleston, S. C, Oct. 13, '62. "Hon. Wm. 1 Miles, Richmond, Va.: "Has the bill for the execution of abolition prisoners after January next been passed? Do it, and Eng land will be stirred into action. It is high time to proclaim the black flag after that period. Let the execution be without the garrote. Signed "G. T. Beauregard." mom The Ijeavenworth Commercial says it must again decline to print the little poem handed in last spring, beginning: "In the spring, like Sisyphus, resumes l is toil the tumble bug; In the spring the wasp, sharp pointed, prods the baby on the rug," etc. Improving one's time mending the clock.
