Furnish Amusement for a Large Crowd Yesterday.
A loving young couple that held down the bench in the court house park yesterday afternoon, furnished no end of amusement for the clerks on the south side and pedestrains that happened along. They were strangers here and evidently just been married, or were thinking seriously of such a move. The young man would occasionly snatch a kiss, do a little hugging on the side. This program was continued antil Prof. Gentry sent the busily engaged couple a note tendering them the use of the Hotel Gentry parlors. Clerk Woodward, not to be outdone by Prof. Gentry's liberality, offered them license free of cost, and in so dping almost fell from the window in his endeavors . to attract the attention of the lov
ing gentleman. It was some time before he tumbled and when he did, it was after a smack was given, the report of which could be heard to
College Hill, that not only startled
him but caused a smile seventeen inches in length to spread across
his contented countenance. The lady
was a really handsome -gtrl snd it was no wonder the bachelors all envied him in his loving happiness.

The Teachers Continue To Have Interesting1 Sessions.
The second day of institute was a success in every way The devotions were conducted by Rev. Williams. The first work was !(aenerii Method," by Prof. Aley. It was a very skillfully arranged discussion of much practical value. After intermission Prof. Smith discussed "Method in History" in a very careful and fruitful manner. Prof. Sanders then talked on "School Management." His talk was so practical that every teacher present received permaneut help from it. Just before noon a very excellent paper on "The Mission of the Country School" was read by Mr. W. J. Goodale, of Van Buren township. From Mr. Goodale's experience he was quite well prepared to discuss this subject and did it in a very able manner. The first work of the afternoon was the "Development Lesson," by Prof. Smith. He very carefully showed how by a very simple and ordinary proceeding a lesson- could be developed and get the best results. After rest Prof. Sanders gave a "Science Lesson." It was very practical and interesting to the
teachers. Prof. Aley discufsed "Arithmetic7' in a careful manner showing many ways a class can be interested and work profitably pursued. In the evening the lecture at the old College Chapel was given by

An exchange says that the latest thing in a barber's shop is a music box, which the proprietor regulate.-? to suit the times. On Mondav, for
instance he winds the machinery up to light opera airs just fast enough to keep his assistant shaving customers at a nice steady pace. Tuesday being a quiet day in the barber business, "Home, Sweet Home," and "You'll Remember Me" are good enough. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the baiber confines the music box to popular selections of a ra ther lively nature On Saturday he puts the reels and jigs on top. and every barber in shop feels his spirits rise and gets through his work at a race speed. There is nothing like a little music box to give a man a jolt, especially those moldy melodies of a day gone by. Word was received at Indianapolis yesterday of the critical illness at Newport, R. I., of Hon. John M. Butler, of that city. Mr. Butler is one of the best known lawyers in Indiana, and was a partner of the late United State Senator McDonald. Mr. Butler recently went East for his health.

In the Bedford Democrat of yesterday a traveling man "whose identity .is not disclosed for various reasons" is quoted as saying that Bedford is quiet and that the law is more strictly enforced than at Bloomington on Sundays. The article proceeds to eulogize the police force of that city in glowing terms. The truth about the matter is that "for various reasons" Bedlord is not only a loud, but very tough town and is as far behind Bloomington as the earth is from the sun when it comes to peace and dignity being preserved by our officers. The police force seldom make an arrest in this city for misdemeanor on Sunday. The Jemoer.it might look back in their old Hies and discover where several srrests have already been made for violation of the Nicholson law, and 1I.-0 an account occasional! v of a
court of inquiry called together to fem-t out numerous crimes that occur on that sacred day. "Persons living in glass houses should never throw f tones."
The mostsuccessiul business men give much of the credit for their success to the liberal use of printer's ink.
