consists of W acres ox ail sone land, limestone- and Indiana marble, used all over the State for the past 35 years, and for durability cannot be excelled. State Geologist Collett s&3a of this stone that it is the best in the world. The ledges are from 40 to 60 feei thick, easy of access, no stripping, and all over laid by a thick ledge of Indiana marble. The land is within 4000
feet of the L. N. A, & C. R. R. main track, and on a level route. It is also but two miles distance to the I. & V. railway. Stone has been taken from this quarry for 35 years,

Hon. G. It. Worrall, our member

teaching. A bill to prohibit Judges who have passes over railroads or free use of telegraph lines, from sitting in cases where said railroads or telegraph company is interested. He is of a sub-committee of three, from the Committee on Education, to prepare a bill to lower the price of school books one half, or more, and prohibiting a change in them oftener than once in ten years. As to political measures, Mr. Worrall will always be found firmly on the Democratic side. This is certainly a very good showing, to begin with at least.

The lecture lis intensely interesting,
abounding in thrilling and elocuent

The question of a surprise; the hour and circumstauci s of Prentiss, capture; the condition of the rebel army, and scenes beyond the lines, all arc discussed v ith a consummate sla.l that augments the interest t;il the closing sentence is pronounced.

Cain, ex-Chaplaiu of the Southern Prison, and a former esident of this county, is now engaged in publishing, at Jfew Albany, an interesting religious monthly paper called The Chronicle. From it we clip the following items concerning ministers well known here : Rev. Wiu.Telfer is now in the reidfat of his third year at Bedford. His pastorate has been a pleasant and very successful one. ttev. lr. Zaritfg. pastor of Locust St. M, E, church, Greencastle, Ind., is having prosperity in his charge.

Eev. F. A. Ei-er is much loveaj
by the people of his work. Bro. EUer is our neighbor and we are constantly hearing good reports from him. Ho has held two or three successful revivals and the future is full of promise for his work.
Bv. H. V. Glvler of Bloomington, is meeting with much success in his work. ? He is greeted with large congregations at every service. Bloomington is a great college town, its churches should be filled with students at every service. No institution of learning, whether state or denominational, can flourLab in the christian State of Indiana, unless it throws around ils students a moral and religious in-
iiuenee. Wo hone the State I

JHOMOUV4 vcr owned up to snore-
Ing. Like accusations about oificehuuting, a lie about a snore is not
a lie. Nevertheless, although no
... one admits that he himself' snores, he has ofien heard others. The
writer;, (who never snores) has reard
snores cf d liferent kinds, some! king
like this:" There is the small boy's
snore: he starts out with a snu2-
ziing. smothered noise, as though
he had something halfway dowii
his throat: then he sniifs a time cm
two then he is quite still a moment
or itsK)' hjghe does it again.
There is the old-man's snore. No foolishness about that. He begins with an awful snort, that shakes
the whole room, and makes the air
vibrate for half a mile. Before the
echo of the first wild trumpet call
has died ft way, the bass drum be
gins uBo3l ! boom !" and
fainter. Soon the diminuendo becomes a crescendo, however, and the snorts and bellows grow worse and worse, until iiis wife gives him
a shake r,nd says: "Ananias Noah ! Wake up and quit your snoring;
you'll scare the children 1 There is,
too, the wife's snore; compared with the old man's snore, it is like .t the gentlest zephyrs to the fierce howling of the gale; It is mile; and sweet but still it is not pleasant. Nothing, however, quite equals the snore of the nice, neat, tidy man, who always looks as though hlj had nothing to do but to admire himself and to be admired. As he
stretches himself out upon his spring
mattress arid draws the carefully folded blanket over hi3 stalwart
form, he looks so sweet and pwtty with his dimpled chin just slicking out over the counterpane, that you
couldn't think he could snore. But just wait half an hour, until he has been asleep soundly. -He snores so loudly that the neighbors think it is a.i engine blowing oif steam ; and the soap rattles in the stand; the water b churned violently in the pitcher; his boots, upon the floor at the foot of the bed, dance a
under the bureau, and turn up thfoir
toeijNagony The asweet-sixtecn" girl ; how she can snore ! With her pretty mouth wide open, and curl-papers standing in a straight row right ar.ound her head, the snores a gentle, meditative did-I-leavc-iny-chevang-gum on-the-back-of-my-geometry- sno re that it would do your ears good to hear i if it didn't remind you -too closely of a ilea-afilicted dog hunting insects in his sleep. In the next room is her old maid sister, It is here, in there sacred preeincts, where the voice of no man, not even her brother, is ever heard, that the snore may be heard in ail its Virgin beauty. After the dear old girl has got her false curls tied to the bureau, her false, eye brows hidden in their case,- her false complexion washed off in soft water, and her false teeth soaking in a glass, she hies herselfto peaceful dreams and awful snores. : But she has reduced it to a science, and her snore is worthy a circus clown. It draws and catches, quivers: and shakes, dies away and turns up again, li ke the collection plate at a "free" show until the professional men living next door throws brickbats, boots and jugs of of of oh. yes, jugs of hot-water, in her direction and her snoring lueeps right on.
