A man who has known himself to jump suddenly out of bed at midnight in mid-winter, at a suggestion or a woman, and wait two hours and a half, club in hand, for the wind that rattled the front door to come up stairs and take his watch from under his pillow, will be able to appreciate the theory of tho Syracuse News, that women guess everything and nevor make a mistake except when they stop to think.

United Stales language may

collossal bronze statue which

stands in our city cemetery among the graves of those who fell ia defense of their country during the late war, is a lasting and beautiful tribute to their patriotism by the grateful citizens of Vigo county, and a monument as well to the zeal and devotion of that association whose never-tiring efforts placed it there. All honor to—everybody!

UTILITY.

An Invention of Great Use to Business Men. ,h

The Laugford Bindery, of this city, has purchased the right to manufacture and sell in this county and iu twelve neighboring countirs the Uaddon Patent Blotter and Tablet, one of the ln^st convenient and valuable of modern inventions, for the asa of business men. It consists of an arrangement by which blauk letter checks, receipts, drafts, etc. aro held together in convenient packages lor use, like a "scratch book," and with a blotter and calendar attachment. So cheap in its construction that the manufacturer is able to furnish it with tbe blanks named at the cost of the blanks alone. It combims convenience with economy. It keeps the blanks neat and clean, and as there are no Icose sheets, there is no waste. The Bartlett Bindery uses Sou-worth's paper, tlJe best made in this country. Our business men should call and examine the Blotter and Tablet. No counting-room should be without it.

In response to the card of the Ladies Aid Society, in the Gazette of yesterday, I append the following from The Express of January 9th, which I was and am still willing to stand by:

To THE

LADIES AID SOCIETY

HAUTE:

In accordance with my prom-

ife, I shall at any time deliver Hie doll for the purpose of having it raffled, the proceeds to be given to the poor of this city. Yours Truly, ,s I.

FECHEIMER,

Popular Cent Store.

The 'conditions" I ''imposed" were simply that I promised the ladies to take one hundred of three or four hundred tickets, if they would iesue them for the drawing, proposing to retain the doll until a decision was reached, and suggesting that their propasition to wait until next fall would be detrimental to my business as I wished to dispose of it immediately. I never iutended to give that doll to the society except in the way proposed above. Respect fully,
