Martinsville Repabl can: Harvey Bator, of IMaemington, deputy Sheiiff of Monroe eoaaty, was in town yesterday. Ha brought np a young aaa by the name of Grear, who was wanted for selliag liquor at Paiagon omc time ago. He is also interestad as a'toruey in the Dancah-Fisher damage soil. The well known law firm of Bnifeiifc A Duncan is now in their new roeeme, aver MeCaUafe aad are fitting ap ae aice a law office as yon will tad ia Bloomington. To Monroe eoaaty readen, it not necessary to peak Ctto law firm of Baskirk & Duaean, as their rrcognized ability, oatos them known as among the beetinttoCtate. Within the past month a substantial steae feaee has been placed araud the Uaited Presbyterian ussaslsij. isrth west of town, mainly through the effort of James Strong That improvement has been long aseded, lad it if well new interest baa toea awakened in this old burying groaad, where rest the remains f cmay of the beat citizens of Monro county. In addition to die stone fusee, Mr Strong succeeded in getiagtwofiae stoae posts, to which iroa gates are to swing. It seems ta as that a little more care in the beeping of oar city cemetery wond not to more than justice to the many gd people that are buried there. It will be remembered that when Bay. Joseph Cook was in Bloomington a few weeks since, he threatened to pitch a porter out a second atery window; aad the week before he and a drummer got into trouble. . The other day the Reverend Joseph gave an exhibition of his "slugging" ualitie ea a railroad train near Columbus, Ohio. A party of rough undertook to rua the train, and w far as the conductor was concerned they war succeeding admirably Joseph saw how things were going aad heard the bassengers asking for Bcotoctiea, so he stepped to the front aad at the aaxt station put die roughs off the traia. An important bill is now pending before Congress that is intended to preioag the life of rail-road men, and ia theasaads of instances save them fiagers aad anas. 1 he bill requires allraUraad companiet, individuals, and corporatioas using and operating railroad care propelled by steam iatwoor more States within the limiu of the Uaited States, to so al. ter and construct their ears that the hampers and draw-bars thereof shall to eatotaatially upon the same level and af a uniform height above the top of the rails, and shall keep and caeiataia the same at this uniform height.

Thb Ch;cago ' ribune, of last Saturday, published a report collected from important points covering the great corn belt of the country, and in an editorial arrives at. the following; farmers may draw their own conclusions: Reports, completely covering the great corn-belt of the United States, detailing the condition of the crop at the present momen, have been received. The situation is practicially unchanged in the stales of Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa. With a few minor exceptions, corn is reported as soft and unmarketable to an alarming ezteut some of it, indeed, being unfit as food for stock, i he mild weather of the last few week, coupled with more or less rain, has prevented its h.rdsuung, and therefore rendered it unfit for th crib .V uch com already in crib had o be removed and spread out to dry, while some which was shelled and shipped swelled so rapidly that it removal from the car w asnepesary. A large persentage of the corn in the three states named is stilll in the field unharvested, and its utilization is likely to prove diffieul . In some localities the warm weather, in the absence of rain, has bad a benificial effect; but this serm to have been the .exception rather widely, but as a general rule the range is between 30 an 35 cents. Kansas, which two weeks ago furnished such sunshiny reports now send out news of a less enconrageing character. In the northern counties a considerable portion of the crop is soft, having been damaged by a long dry spell in Sep ember and frost in the following month. The yield will fall short of expectation, but, summing the general situation, Kansas will send to market a fair amount of sound corn. What has been said of Kaunas applies equally well to Nebraska to nile neither yield nor quality w meeting expectations, still there is no serious omplaint. 'I he planting of corn in Dakota this year was largely experimental, but the re u'ts m to hare been satisfactory, and we my )ok for an immense acreage next year. One day. last week a gentleman who had with him a sufficient number of recomen ations, called at the Tulephojs office with the desire to "write up our bftHftesj men at advertising rates, on which he was to have a commission. He was promptly refused for two reasons: firHt, because we already had as much advertising as space would permit, and second for the reason that if there is any overcharges to be made in the way of commission it shall be given to those who favor, us, and n t individuals whom we know or care noth ing about.

If parents were to encourage the reading of newspapers by their ch ldren by taking one or more of them into the family, they would soon dis ever how much faster their children increased their stock of knowledge. Books soon become monotonous to the child, while a newspaper is fresh once a week, and is looked for with as much interest as a promised pres ent. The newspaper is the poor man' library and the children's fount of knowledge. Any man can save enough money in one month to supply his family with reading matter in the shape of a newspaper for one year. Therefore, do not rob your children of knowledge by depriving them of the benefit, of the home paper. The causi of temperance seems t be making consierable headway in the Soutl . A recent act of the Legislature of Florida forbidding the gran tin rjof li crises to sell liquor except upon petition of a majority of the voters of the election district, has just been declared constitutional by the Supreme Conr of the State, and it is predicted that inside of a year prohibition will be practice ly in fore in two-thirds of the counties. They have similar laws in - outh Carolina, Georgia, and other Southern States, and hey are said to be working admirably. Thb Hendricks 1'oimln Republican truthfully remarks: The serious trouble with mos all parties is the tact that there are too many great j men wuuweno completely encase; in the idea that they are absolutely necessary to its existence and weft directee efforts, as to be impervious to criticism and careless of publi i opinion. lnis class of men must either give way to the piMie intelligence or be tramped upon by the masses of people who make the government, provide for its control and preserve its life. The United Presbyterian Congregation will hold its annual meeting on Christmas day, and the yearly dinner will be given.

Salem Democrat: There are to be tried two very important suits, at the next term of the Circuit court on oharge of venue From the Bedford and Bloomington courts comes the suit of H. II. oolery (administrator of the estate of W oolery,) vs., the L. N. A. & C. R'y for dauuge.- sustained, resulting in death. From the Browns own court c,nies the suit ot the State vs. Daniel K mer, for endeavoring to corrupt and influence witnesses. These suits will bring a large number of witnesses from the above towns. Varlinsville Republican: Bloomington has just assed through an intense temperance excitement. For some time past there has not been a licensed saloon in Monroe county and the whisky ring has been making a determined effort to regain a foot hold, and to that end a number of applications for license were wade to the county Commissioners at then late meeting. The temperance sentiment wa aroused, a number ol large and determined mass meetings were held and a warfare was waged against the applicants. T,ie resub it, that all the applicants have been def ated and Bloomington continues to be free from the curse of saloons. In speaking of the recent lecture of Dr. Moss, at Martinsville, the Refwbjiean says: The lecture of Dr. emuel Aioss at Hite fc Parks' hali on last Friday night was attended by the best people of this place, and the number of au itors was very flattering to the eminent speaker. he subject of the discorse was edu cation in its oroadest and highest sense; and the lecture can be classed among the ablest and the best. pr. A loss is a ripe scholar, a profound thinker and a logical speaker, and the beauty of his discourse is, they are of a practical nature, full of insti uctiqu and valuable lessons. t ppngratulate the Eclectic Society 01 being able to upomtre a jeplnrer capable of giving such general satisfaction, ai.d hhould .the distinguish speaker ever be called to this plactagain he can feel assured of a heart reception. ' j . It seems as though Mrs. Langtrv ! ihe person who set ail America win ii year ago, has about lost her "usefulness". She has been appearing through Kentucky and Ohio the pas; Tew week. AtXenia the Repubhcai -iays: ,The famous beauty of Mr . Lang try was not appreciated, i was the opinion of many that tinyoung lady who represented Miss Nevillle was the better looking oi the two. If Mrs Langtry possesse. beauty it must consist wholly in hei profile, which is classic and dignified, and in her waist, which is wasp-like. he bald head who sat in the front rows say her feet and ankles are 1101 to be commended. Her face is long and lean, and her expression dollbabyish. She ha a targe mouth which she makes larger and ngliei by attempting to turn her lips inside outwards when she speaks. We do not indorse the 'opinion of a disgust ed Jamestowuer, who declared that he is the ugliest woman he ever aw, but are of the opinion that American woods are full of girls who are a pretty, if not prettier than the famous Jersey Lily.'
