He went to the rirer, and rtrt. down on sorre tiling, with his back to the water, and shot bii&Jielf backward s into the water, wife ere he was found by some boys that mo;ning at ten o'clock. He was despondent on account of bad health, fearing that he was going into consumption. He was engaged to be married next fall, to one of tlit most accomplished young ladies of Martinsville. p ; ' Frarikli n -Democrat: uJud'e Banta CD has already commenced his work as dean of the law faculty of the State University and if that department is not a success it will not be because the Judge failed to do his part to make it a success.

mously decided upon him it was accepted ai d they will have no cause to regret, their selection. He will continue his residence here and the law firm of Woollen & Banta will continue business as of old."

BAND STAND DEDICATION EXERCISES. One of the profitable public events of the season was the dedication of the new band stand in, the court house park Saturday evening. The stand is a beauty and is erected in
the southwest corner of the public square. Mayor Dunlap was invited to deliver the dedication address and, after receiving a happy introduction from John R. East, gave an excellent address o': about 15 minutes, the following being a liberal extract: Ladies and Gentlemen: 1 confess to you that on this occasion, more, perhaps, than at any time in my c uorienee, I am at a ios to know how to express myself as becomes this occasion and this assemblage. Iam glad, however, to see so many here. It testifies to the public spirit and enterprise of the city. 1 am embarrassed by the thought that as the occasion is of such an extraordinary character I may be expected perhaps to say something extraordinary. There is no large city but has some attractive feature., either natural or artificial, of which it is proud, and which serves to distinguish it from other cities of its class. We have in our city the State University which is rapiuly becoming in appearance and pretension what it lias long been in fact, the leading educational institution in the state. We have, toe, our artesian well which reaches from the realm of daylight to the heart of the continent. We have, also, a vein of natural gas which in spite pf eight hundred feet of dampness finds its way to liberty. But the latest and most charming object of our affections is this most exquisite of our public attractions, this poem of mechanical skill and decorative art, which von are here to dedicate this evening. That there may be no misconception of the object of those who have secured to us the benefit of this beautiful structure it may b said of them as of all pioneers of thought and invention tint thev were endeavoring to supply a long felt want. The citizens of Bloomimrton are a social people: and so
largely is this instinct developed among them, that it frequently hap
pens that our halls are not sumoient-
ly ample to accommodate the multitude and in such emergencies . no
place is so convenient, or inviting
as the Court House Park. Though
beautiful, it has never been very
generously supplied with the con
veniences which contribute so much 9
to the comfort of a public assemblage
it is true the artesian well is located
within its borders but all the com
fort there it u that is in the knowledge that it is here, and cannot pos-
siblv get away, (laughter and ap
plause). In this connection I would say, that Bloomington has lonejbeen
famous for the successful achieve
ments of her brass bands. I am told by many of our older citizens that long years ago Bloomington had an organization of this kind that
was famous throughout the State. Some of these men have grown giey among you, and in their circumspect walks through life as well as in their triumphs in music, they are fit subjects for emulation by these equally skilled musicians to whom we are so deeply indebted. To -the members of the Mechanics band who have contributed so much to our city, and to the accomplished Auditor of the county (W. T. Blair) we ' are indebted for this beautiful building. And I think I but voice the public sentiment here in expressing the wish that thev and this beautiful stand may long endure to delight the eye and ear of a grateful public. I have already indicated the purpsse for which this stand was designed. Whatever the occasion, or the cause to be advocated, this platform and structure is for the benefit and comfort of all; and all should be grateful and proud that Bloomington has such au ornament in her midst. On yesterday evening a ride about the city impressed me with the fact thai we should put a high estimate on the place we live in, and stand by it in the face of evil and discouragement and diff
iculty. More than the half of any
battle is the belief that you can win it, and when every citizen of the town and county once makes up his mind that Bloomington is a good town, and may become a better, you will see it grow and prosper as it never has before. Bloomington is already one of the most beautiful and prosperous of the less
er cities of Indiana thanks to the enterprise of her citizens. I desire to say that which 1 have had occasion to say before, that, outside of those cities where natural gas has been found in abundance no city of Indiana has made rrore rapid strides in improvement than the city of Bloomington. In the last six or eight years her growth has been almost phenominal and, to-day, considering her wealth and opportunities, you can not match her homes and her streets and her enterprise with that of any city of similar size from the lake to the "pocket." We have already some degree of promise that we may here find natural gas iii paying quantity. I say let it be done (applause), so that Bloomington will have no cause to be envious of any town in the State. Let us first add materially to our worth and consquence and then the East and West railroad, of which we have dreamed and talked so long, will be assured. My friends, the ?Jechanics Hand now dedicates to the uses of this city this beautiful stand. May we accept it in the same generous epint with which it is tendered, not forgetting to extend to these gentlemen every possible aid and encouragement that we may rightfully appreciate and may enjoy the melodies which shall hereafter be wafted to us from this balcony." After the address refreshments ware served by a number of young ladies on behalf of the baud, from which about $35 was realized.
The Walnut Street Presbyterian congregation is the first in Bloomington to elect ladies to the board of deacons. Four "deaconesses" have been selected as follows: Mrs, Ewmg Batterton,Mrs, Samuel Orchard, Mrs. R. W. Aliers and Mrs. Ezra Perring.

Work has already commenced on the derfiick, and they expect to begin boring the fore part of next month. Joe Bryan, class '89, was elected to the position of principal of the preparatory department at Monmouth College, last week. The salary is $1,000 per year. Prof. Henry McMillen, brother-in-law of W. E. Woodburn and a graduate of the University in the class of 1874 has been elected to the chair of Latin in the same institution. He has had charge of the Preparatory department for three years past. In speaking of the new passenger agent of the Monon, the Indianapolis Journal says: h James Barker the General Passenger Agent of the Louisville, New Albany k Chicago road, who is now going over the line forming an acquaintance with the agents, creates a good impression. He is a wideawake railroad man, and very gentlemanly in his bearing. It is understood that he will make no changes in representatives of the passenger departments at any of the points they touch."
