W. A. ENDLEY, PubMbwkh. Walkerton, Indiana, july is, issy Mr. Kilrain, Mr. Sullivan! Os course Sullivan’s too short winded. They have the milk-shakes over at Mentone, It was tho intense heat that whipped Kilrain. Sullivan wasn’t there. The bustle is about to go out of business, Hence, old newspapers rule low. Sulliyau never licked anybody except R few boys and women, He can’t fight. If John L. Sullivan had not dissipated so much during the past eight years he might have whipped Kilrain.! If Sullivan can’t knock a man out in a week or ten days he can’t do it at all, for you understand he’s short winded. A barometer on Kilrain would have been useless. No barometer could fall and rise as many times as did Kilrain in so short a time. The Indianapolis Sun thinks that it begins to look as if there is no one who can down Sullivan except that übiquitous individual, John Barleycorn. Sullivan, you know, is short winded. That’s why he had to lick Kilrain in two and a half hours. What Sullivan does he has to do quickly, you understand. Richburg, Mississippi, a little town of a couple hundred inhabitants, and one hundred and two miles from New Orleans, is where the great SullivanKilrain mill ground out its grist last Monday. A shower of frogs is reported to have fallen near Vincennes last Sunday evening. The papers say the ground was literally covered with them. It is supposed the storm came from tho direction of Walkerton.—Mentono Gazette. “ Gentlemen of the jury,” said counsel in an agricultural case, “there were thirty-six hogs in that lot—thirty-six. I want you to remenber that number—-thirty-six hogs, just three times the number that there are in the jury box. —Albany Law Journal. From the sight which one may now see along the lake shore at any hoar of the day it is reasonable to infer that the next generation of Chicagoans will be web-footed. —Chicago Daily News. A great many of the citizens of tho newly annexed territory are said to be web-footed and amphibious already. Otho J. Powell, editor of the Garrett Herald, is about to sell or move his oiliee to Lexington, Mo., and in his valedictory has the following paragraph, than which truer words were never written: “The life of a country publisher is a hard one at best, but when his readers never have a kind and encouraging word to say, but always censuring his actions, speaking disparagingly of his efforts, and insulting him when the views lie entertains of public affairs do not coincide with them, and then, in the end, fail to pay him for the papers they have been reading and cursing, insult becomes an injury.” It is said that it takes a Philadelphia lawyer to decipher difficult problems. If there’s one in that great city who can tell what the late legislature of Indiana meant when it passed a Jaw and had it published to the world in Chapter 64 and Section 1 of the acts, that people might fish in the St. Joseph river and in the Kankakee river between the first day of April and the first day of June of any year, and then in Section 2 . of Chapter 1 that any person who keeps a fish net, except wholly for use in the St. Joseph river, shall be liable to a line of not less than SSO nor more than S2OO, and to which imprisonment may be added, he’ll do to practice law in Indiana. The above may be an easy problem solved, but our wool’s too thick to work it through. TYNER CITY. Everything quiet here, Ed Lane, Sr., preached here the other day, afternoon and evening. Ed says he can walk on the water. Addison Johnson is running one of the nicest little meat markets in the county, and sells meat awfully cheap. The singing school at the M. E. church is progressing finely. Mr. Vangilder knows how to teach. Lon Fink ami Sam Good have a new steam thresher, and expact to make things jingle. The self-made man of the wild west IS bm k in the vicinity of Tyner. Hoc Moore has his new building enclosed and will soon be ready to plaster. Some of our young men who were at the marsh Sunday, came home in the evening in a rather dilapidated condition. Dick.

How about that church building? Are we going to get it this fall or not? Would like to see it going up. Chris Seider takes the lead on early potatoes, as he lias produced the largest we have seen this season. Some say the pickle crop will not amount to much this year, as the worms and bugs have destroyed a great many vines. Henry Alien lias put a coat of paint on his dwelling which under it looks quite neat. Some of us had better do likewise. Our Sabbath-school is progressing nicely and we have quite a crowd every Sunday and all appear to tako quite an interest. There is talk of A. J. Uncapher erecting a church building for the benefit of tho U. B. class nt this place. Well, A. J. is more able than any one else at this point to do it.

Charles Lemont, while taking a load of coal to South Bend, was delayed by the breakini? down of a wheel. William Forsythe started for Garrett last Sunday to resume his work ns carpenter. He says wages are good in Garrett, and that to stay in Teegarden would lose him money. Died—Mrs. Gilbert Peterson departed this life last Monday morning at three o'clock.

KNOX. Henry Hostetter has returned from the west with 72 head of ponies. The Christian church people are having a great revival nt this place. They have chosen their building contnnUoe and propose commencing on their meeting house at once. One of our 4th of July orators has still the “glorious” in him. Strange how the spirit of patriotism^?) does act. The Gas Well Co. have at last come to Trenton rock and are row going down in that. The indications are rather against success. Messrs.
