Now Is tbe most pleasant time to visit Cincinnati and see its great Exposition. The Vandalla line oners an exoellent opportunity, on Thursday next, tbe 9th luit. Train will leave the Union Depot at 7 a. na., and run through to Cincinnati. The fare for the round trip will be only 93.00.

THX attention of tbe reader is called to toe "Dollar Lecture Course," which ippears in the amusement oolumn. It

Kupriees a course of lectures bv five of is most eminent lecturers in America, 'and tbe price of a season ticket places them within the reach of all. Our citizens will never have a oheaper opportunity of showing tbelr appreciation of a high. order or talent. The course is under the management of Prof. John B.

DeMott, of Asbury Unlverslty.

HAS this city so ordinance prohibiting the owuers of hogs from allowing them to roam at will through town? If it has, why is It not enforced? These two conundrums are respectfully submitted to the marshal for solution. It is about time thia nuisance was abated. Hogs are becoming so numerous on tbe streets that they can be found on almost every ecjuare. it looks picturesque, and is very attractive to the eyes of strangers coming to the city—at least we suppose ^ur worthy marshal thlnka so.

A 'Xtt-onBD man, named John Jones, was xftud in the act of jumping off the Vandalia. train at one Of tbe street crossings, laac Monday morning. He had beep over to Brasu, where be had been engaged in missionary work, and was returning to his home in this city when the accident occurred. Instead of getting od the train at the depot, he concluded to ride a* far as tbe Third street yoeelng. sear which he lived, and jump ft at that point. Aa he was found at is Fmb street crossing, he must either have charged his mind or fallen off. One of the rolling mill bands, white on his way v? work, tound him and had him removed, but he only lived about half an hour. He leaves a wife, who resides in Fountain county.

Ox Tuesday last Charles Irwin, Charles (oyer, Eugene Keefe Martha J. Brown «a Laura Horn had a preliminary bearug before U. S. Commissioner Boudinot, on a charge of robbing the Mail. Tbe case waa about as stated In The Mail last Saturday. Irwin and Horn were held nder bond in the sum of $1000 each, Keefe 1500, and Brown $360 for •further examination. Boyer waa discharged.

but upon leaving the court room was taken in charge by the officers upon a state oase for the same offense. Horn remarked that the bond might as well have beea 110.000 aa rite could give that amount as easily as the other.

Brown gave the required bail, and rwin and Laura Horn were taken to Indianapolle on Wednesday by officers Btack and Pierce.

TKX carrier system

waa inaugurated

in this city last Wednesday. Tbe carriers are doing their work well, although a little troublesome to them at first. 1 he position Is no sinecure as the work to be done-really requires moip men than are at preeent engaged in it.

CITIZENS And it a*very difficult matter to pass tbe postoffice, although they have now no occasion to go there. Every morning they forget themselves and walk in to take a look at their old box number. If laughed at they look wise and say they merely dropped in to how the new system is working.

THE spelling-reform craze has struck Beadle, of tbe Rockville Tribune, all in a heap. He has got It bad, and threatens to fight it out if it takes a month. He will find himself in tbe position of tbe man in tbe Inaane Asylum. He thought all tbe world crazy, and all tbe world thought him crazy. Tbe majority got the best of him, snd be had to succumb to the iron hand of fate.

RESIGNATIONS of members of the police force have been quite numerous of lste, something unheard of before. Various causes have been assigned for it. One of the men said it was no use to stay on a force where arrests were made and prisoners allowed to go unpunished, when sn officer receives no encouragement in tbe discbarge of bis duty he soon loses interest in the performsnoe of it.

THE distillery is running to its fullest capacity. They have a book full or orders which they cannot possibly fill for me to come. These orders are some time

New

coming in from Nsshville, Tenn York, Baltimore, New Orleans, Charleston, 8. C., Boston, St. Louis snd Augusts, Qa. They are at present oonsumim 3,700 bushels of grain per day, wbicf manufacturers about 200 barrels high wines.

THAT versatile and veracious Terre Haute correspondent of tbe Indianspolis Journal, whom a kind providence has favored with a most fertile and imaginative imagination, sent a dispatch to that paper this week announcing the departure for St. Louis of tbe Light Guard, forty in number, to compete for the prize for tbe best drilled company. Tbe item waa a good one and haa tbe advantage of being manufactured from whole cloth.

SOME time ago an individual named John Woods was confined in the county jail here on a charge of horse stealing. He played the insanity dodge snd suoceeded so well tint he wss sdjudged insane and forwarded to tbe asylum at Indianapolis. A few days sgo dispatch was received at tbe sheriffs offline, announcing that he had so far recovered his senses as to be able to make bis escape. Next time tbe peni tentiary will doubtless catch him.

COMMANDERS Potter and Dr. Green, U. S. N., are in tbe city recruiting boys for tbeir branch of the servioe. Each boy is required to pass a rigid examine before be can be enlisted, besides he must bsve tbe consent of bis parents or guardian. The required age is between 15 and 18 yeara. Nineteen applications have been made, of which number six passed, but only two have secured the signaturea of their parents.

ON Thursdsy morning, a Sugar Creek farmer named Patrick Green was on his way to the city with a load of stave bolts, when the team became frightened at some object and ran away. Green, in bis efforts to stop them, fell in front of tbe wagon. Tbe wheela passed over bis faoe and neck, causing almost instant death. Help was immediately at hand but was of no avail. Green lived about a mile west of town and leaves a wife and two children.

ED. PATRICK,of this city, attended the fair at Newton. Ills., lsst week. While on tbe ground be quarreled with one John Gill, but they parted without coming to blows. Later in the day they met In the town, when Patrick wanted to make up, but Gill failing to respond be passed on he had gone Dut a few steps when Gill struck him down with a brick, fracturing bis skull. His mother ana alster went from this city to him immediately. His death has since been reported.

THB proprietor or the Bllami jfrint Works, of Cincinnati, is In the city on the lookout for a location for his works. He requlree sbout twenty scree, and it Is absolutely neceeaary that it should be on the bank of a stream. He haa been In the neighborhood of Prairleton for the paat two days. His objection to the oity is that it grows up around him and crowds him out. The works are quite extensive and are in constant operation. The number of men employed la forty. It wonld be quite an acquisition to our city.

A FARMER nsmed Joseph Copplc who livee eight miles west of town, oame In to see tbe reunion yeeterdsy. He bitched his team to a post on Second street, near the corner of Main, tying both boraea securely with ropes. The train oame along ana frightened them. They started to run, ana aa the ropes were strong they took tbe post along with them. A woman named Mrs. Sam May, who livee in Sugar Creek township, wss knooked down by them and one of her arma severely injured. Her son aged three yeara was run over by the wagon and, it la feared, fatally Injured. f-

THOSE boya who think It la to tbeir advantage to ezohange a comfortable home for the life of a sailor will find they have made a aad mlatake when It la too late to remedy It. A lift on the ocean sounds very well on paper, but when one comes down to the stern reality it Is another matter. Turning out of a bunk in stormy weather at sea and goiug aloft, ta hardly so comfortable aa home, even though it may not be a very good one. Onceln tbe navy there la no change of "ffloers. If men are not treated to tbelr taste they cannot change their situation to soy great extent. However if there is not much profit from flnsncla) point of view, there will be anv amount of experience, and tbe atricteel kind of discipline.
