J. W: Riley, the "Hoosier Poo
has accepted an invitation to de
liver the commencement address
before the literary societies of the
Indiana University. The following is the January apportionment of school Jund in
Monroe county:
conversation was the danger of
boys loafing about the depot, and
jumping on and off the moving
cars. The father expressed
hope that his eldest boy did not
go about the depot, and was assured by the youth that he would not hug around there for anything in the world, he was awfully afraid of cars. In fact he hadn't been to the depot since about a year ago when he went to 3ee Aunt Jane olf. About a week after, the youth came in about the time tho family were sitting down to supper. "Have you heard the news?" said he, "No. 2 was delayed this side of
Bedford with a hot box, and Jim BledsoGjwho handles the throttle of engine 13, came dawn on the rear of No. 2 and telescoped the rear car. He whistled down breaks as soon as he saw the red light, but it was too late. No. 13 went back to Bedford where they had to make a running switch to side track,"After supper the "old man" said: "My son, you seem to be pretty well posted in
railroad lingo for a boy that has not been near the depot since Aunt Jane went away. But go up stairs, take off your jacket, and I will post you more fully on two points that of a "hot bos" and a "running switch." The boy saw the "danger signal" and went up stairs and fortified the seat of his pants with a piece of oil cloth to foe prepared lor tho "'collision" that was about to ensue. In a short time after the father appeared there was a noise like an engine running over a lot of torpedoes, and the boy might have been heard making sounds as if to imitate a locomotive whistling a cow oft tho track. Joseph E. Henley and R. W. Miers went to Louisville this week to make arrangements for a special train to bring Governor Porter and a Committee of the legislature here next week, the day not having yet been fixed. There is nothing the matter with the Courier this week except a Chicago fellow put a now head on us. Wo will soon make further improvements in the ap
pearance of the paper. "Now is the time to subscribe."
Bring in that wood you promised on subscription. The kitchen table 'has been burnt, and if
we do not receive some wood by next week we shall have to commence on tho parlor furniture. A man offered us a live coon on subscription last week, and we took it. N ow if some other subscribers will bring us in a live owl and a fox we'll go into the menagerie business.
Crawfordsville Review: At 7 o'clock Tuesday evening Eli Kahn, the well-known and universally respected merchant, breathed his last. He had been suffering for months with a disease which his physicians knew from the very first was fatal, Sir Kahn was born in the village of Fraunberg, county of Loraine, France, in 1839, and at the time of his demise was fifty-two years old. There is but one sentiment, among the people of this city and that is, he was an honorable man, and there is a universal regret at his loss. He emigrated to this
country at an early age, and with his brother started in business at Bloomington, this State, afterward coining to Crawfordsville, and opening up the clothing store so well known to the citizens of this county. He leaves a wife and one child. The funeral services took place Thursday. Interment at Indianapolis. ' Tho Odd Fellows and Knights ofPy-
thias, of which orders he was 'an
honorable member, accompanied
the remains to the train.
Indianapolis Sentinel: At the proper time Senator Bpaim will
propose a bill consolidating the State Educational Institutions into a University which will be an honor to tho Commonwealth. He says that the grounds and buildings at Bloomington can be given to the city or county, and those of Terre Haute can be disposed of in the samo way. .- -Ow '- Indianapolis Sentinel: Professor Jordan, of the State University., assisted by Charios Gilbert, of this city is preparing a work cn tha fisheries of the world. Mr. Gilbert is now in Panama, at work in the natter.

Cookerly, sends another $1.50 from Texas, and save: "Many thanks for your promptness and for your good paper of last year." Oliver Woods, of Hendricks county, says: "I did think I would wait until I came to Bloomington to renew my subscription, but I can't do without the paper that long." And so say they all. If they want tho home news, gotten up in a live, spicy way, they must have the Courier.

Prof. Kirkwood has made astronomical calculations with regard to the' comet which was eeen in the central part of the State some time sine. At Lafayette it was about 95 miles above the earth, arid it disappeared near Danville, Illinois, at a distance ef about 34 miles above the earth, traveling a distance of about 180-5 miles. We understand that Judge John C. Robinson, who has just retired from the bench, is soon to
go to Indianapolis to practice his
