It would not buru, nor split into rails, and no one thought of sawing it into boards. Some years ago, however, it was discovered that black walnut made beautiful furniture of all kinds, and a demand for it began to grow up. A wood which a lew short years ago was considered almost worthless is now tho most precious wood that grows in the United States, and a single troe is often poison.

In the ovor changing, or regular round of games and pleasures, kites are now in season with the boys. The result Is seon In numerous wrecks of these bits of sticks and paper iu the tree tops and hanging from the tops of houses—bleak skeletons lluttering liko the sails and rigging of a forlorn and wrecked vessel. llow hard the boys will work torescue a kilo "that has lodged. They climb tho trees, tho tolograph polos and clamber up on the house tops to recover 'them, and only resign them to their fato when further efTortc aro useless.

They "bestride the lazy passing clouds and ride upon tho bosom of the air," and jwoplo's eyos are turned upward to them as they maintain their dizzy height. Thoy in turn look down upon their fellow, aiul consider themselves elevrttcd abovo all croatlon.

The Mr season is now in Jfull blast and the Vigo County Fiiir will blow in next Tuesday. The directors are confident that the exhibition this year will compare favorably with those of other seasons, and in some respects excell. It can hardly be necessary, in viow of the advantages and attractions of these annual gatherings of the county, to urge an attendance on that now so near at hand. They have always been popular and largely attended, and tho one in prospect should lose nothing in interest from its prdecessors.

This new and colossal candidate for popular favor has cost Mr. Lent the enormous sum of a million of dollars, and includes more rare wild boasts and living human and animal curlositiea than have ever before boen presented in one exhibition, besides the celebrated permanent circus organisation,with whose superior merit all are familiar. Mr. Lent is thoroughly and invariably legitimate, with nothing of the charlatan about him, and what lie promises, the

TALK ABOUT YOUR CORSETS I There is one question of great Importance to bo considered with Corset buyers. It is: does the merchant who wants to sell j'ou a Corset, know anything anything about a Corset, himself

We answer: not one merchant out of ten, knows any of the principal points which a Corset has to possess in order not to prove injurious to the wearer in jilace of bringing comfort.

This accounts for the amount of illshaped and mis-cut Corsets which are daily offered in market at evon higher prices than a good fitting and comfortably sotting Corsot can bo bought for at a reliable Corset houso.

M(. A. Herz, of the firm of Herz A Co, has devoted ton years to the manufacture of Corsets in Europe, and has ever sinco In this country made it a practico to furnish the public with good fitting, reliable brands of Corsets, at half the prico other dealers charge for inferior goods. Therefore no lady should fail to buy bar Corsets at the Opera House Bazaar, if sho wants to do justice to herself in regard to health and wealth. m?

NEW SCHOOL BOOKS. [From InJ. Reform School Record.] Under the provisions of the school law, which provides for county superintendence and the organization of a County Board of Education, consisting of Town and Township Trustees, there has sprung up a lively contest on tho question of text-booRs, which .this Board of Education has power to select and adopt for exclusive use in tho eotm-

luniiy LO ffciriu VJ viu-uuu UUUIM. txnu place into the bands of the children hew and interesting reading matter, and other books that are up with the sdvancemont of education and schools in otbor respects, it will prove a great blessing to the rising generation, and do much toward placing tho common

to iusist upon their continual uso of school books that are dull, monotonous and old-fashioned as the tools with which their work is to be executed.

About a year ago we discarded allold books in connection with the Reform School, and adopted au entire new scries, (Harpers'.) The lively interest, which our pupils take in school-mat-ters, since then, has induced us to publish this article, believing as we do, that the interests of the public schools of this couuty would be greatly enhanced by the introduction of such "live books"as Harpei's Reader's Readers, French's Arithmetic and Scott's United States History, etc. We speak wholly from the stand-point of experience, and not from any interest whatever in the success of any publishing house or the agent thereof, and our experience testimony ef the value of Harper's School Books as educational aids is backed by that of the State Normal School, tho public scheols of the city ol Indianapolis and numerous other important cities and towns in the State.

We commend this subject to the County Board for Hendricks couuty, believing that no bettor service can be rendered by the board than by providing away by which the school children may take the advantage of introductory rates offered by the agent at Indianapolis (J. M. Olcott,) and secure each a copy of Harper's books for school use.
