TRAVEL is increasing. The hotels are full. THEREappears to be a kind of a coolness amoiig the ice men.

BY tho powers, the sidewalks must be cleared. Remove the obstructiens.

TIIK bens have thawed out and eggs are dropping—in price^

HORSE-BUYBUS are gathering up and shipping away some mighty good horses from this county.

THERE has been a decline of one and a half cents per bualiel on block coal. It is now retailed at cents.

A kittle 9ix-year old boy, the sou of Mr. Charles Ileinig, fell lrom a car on Sunday and broke his log.

THE car works of Seath it Hagcrarc now run until

10o'clock

at night to keep

up with orders. This looks prosperous.

STORK doors wide open and clerks playing marbles on tho sidewalks, give tho town a spring aspect that is quite charming—1« tho bankruptcy lawyers.

TITK irrepressible Marlon Cauthorn has got himaelf in jail again, this time for stealing a gold watch chain and other jewelry from a houso ol ill fame on Second street, lie wjll probably go up for abaut five y°rtrH'___

SUNDAY night thieves broke the glass in front of Nick Holand's show-window and entirely cleaned out that rather attractive looking depository of sample boots and shoes. The loss was over one hundred dolbirf^

The Cooper Lveoum still preserves its organization and whiles the merry hours away discussing such trifles as

Resolved, that nil taritf laws should be repealed"—the question for this evening.

THE street commissioner is engaged with a largo force, in "cleaning up.*' Rut, by tho way, how does it happen that ho always commences in front of tho Major's oflii-o? No matter, though, ho's a tip-top street commissioner and wo'ro not complaining.

FEWER reports than usual are coming in of injury to fruit trees and shrubbery by cold weather. Though for a great part of tho time the winter was excessively cold scarcely anything seems to have' suffered. The crop prospects are oxcellent.

CONTRARY to all tho predictions made and provided for this particular occasion, the "January thaw" is going off, in February, without causing an overflow of tho river or even so much as raisiing it enough to oover a single exposed sand-War. Tho Wabash never was so low.

THE annual eloction of directors for the National State Bank took place Tuesday. The board for the ensuing year consists of Messrs. B. Booth, A. McGregor, F. Nlppert, J. II. O'Boyle, G. W. Heme lit, W. B. Warren aud Preston Hussev. The officers remain as before.

The residence of John Gallagher, on south Seventh street, was burglarised Monday night and twenty live dollars belonging to a servant girl in tho family of E. M. Gil man, taken from a trunk. As a general thing, banks are safer places of deposit those times than old trunks.

As incipient tire at Mattox's cooper shop brought out the lire department Wednesday about noon No. damage *im.it**.J done.

I I'EHDUK offers to make contracts to deliver ice at 25 cents per hundred pounds. Competition is worth two in tho buisll.

THE demand for garden seeds is much livelier than it was at this time last year. Seedsmen are anticipating ft heavy trade.

A PHILOLOGICAL Commission consisting of President Jones, of the Normal school, Superintendent Wiley of the cil schools, and lion. John T. Scott, L. L. has under consideration the grammatical construction of tho sentence, "Hand mo them bitters." Pool selling on tho decision is lively.,

ON Monday morning when the freight train, ou the E. it C. road, which leaves hero at 4:4.", was somewhere between Farmeraburg and Shelburn, William C. Norman, a youn, brakeman whose parents live at Princeton, missad his footing on the slippery cars and fell beneath the whoels. He was crushed in a horrible manner and died almost instantly.

A SI'MBKR of men standing near the county bridge, tho other day, were guessing at tho value of that pile of lumber belonging to T. B. Johns, which is piled up on too river bank north of Main street. The wildness of some of the guesses was amusing. They ranged from one hundred thousand dollars to two million. Thero is a tremendous lot of lumber, but then wo're no guesser.

THE Cincinnati & Terre Haute railway was sold Wednesday at the court house door at 2 p. m. The sale was was made by John I. Howland, clerk of the United States court, on a decree in a writ for foreclosure by the bondholders. The road was bought for 172,000 by Josephus Collett, W. R. McKeen and W. B. Tuell. No change in the management or running arrangements will be mado at present.

THE gas burners in tho county bridge are provided with glass globes. At least they are supposed to be glass, but they are so encased in dirt and co black with smoko that only an expert would be able to base an opiuion as to the material. If anybody interested in the matter would take the trouble to clean theui the truth might bo ascertained, and there is little doubt that if they were cleaned the gas that is burned in them might partially iight the bridge at night, which it does no- do novr.

ON Monday at a quarter before one o'clock Mike Scully, the man who has been engaged in walking one- thousand miles in as many consecutive hours and finishing up by walking seventy-five uiiles in twenty-four hours, completed his self-Imposed task, at Dowling Hall, making the last mile in a little less than thirteen minutes. On Sunday night his feet began to swell in a most painful manner and he was compelled to abandon his shoes and finish the tramp with his feet bound in soft rags. Ho was game to the last, however, laughing and joking with everybody and showing very little sign of the terrible distress* he must have bee* suSarinj.

THE Eugene Ice Company essayed some advertising yesterday by placing a number of fino blocks of ice om th? Kankakee river, at different points about tho city. Of course Perdue "saw" them.

THE came law lets Mail:n. Earlv out of his quail contract. Ho dim hanker after any more quails, however, nor blow about bis ability to eat thirty of them in thirty days. He is perfectly satisfied.

Du. C. W.
