CITY AND COUNTY -+0 Judge Turman visited the Court Boom, Tuesday, wliilu court was in sesrion, and appeared to bo regaining both health and strength. B!&r Last Saturday Sheriff Lowman escorttd Messrs. Whitman and Bishop to the Jeffersonville penitentiary, where they will serve three years, on a sentence

for burglary.

tteSoMrs. Florence Dunbar has pur chased a building lot on on South College Avenue, and has contracted with Capt. Blankenship to build a two-story house thereon this fall. fiia^'Up to Thursday last a larger number of students had been enrolled than during the entire college year of 1879-80. Asbury’s star is in the ascendant, and her people arc happy. fr^fThe Board of Trustees of Forest Hill Cemetery have contracted with Thomas McIntosh to build a vault at the cemetery. The building will be of ample capacity, built of Putnam county stone, trimmed with Ellottsxi.le stone Baud with brick, and of handsome design and finish. A former resident of this county, named Albert Nicholson, was arraigned for trial in Johnson County Circuit Court, a few days ago, charged with killing a man by striking him with a billiard cue. The accused entered the plea, guilty of manslaughter, and was sentenced to the

penitentiary.

8*ayBoth political parties announce “monster” political demonstrations in Greencastle, on Saturday, October 9. Gentlemen, you should remember that the city is scarco large enough to hold two crowds of different political opinions in one day—there will trouble come of it. Better arrange the matter in some

other way.

A largo fire cistern is in process of constiuction at tho corner of Locust and Anderson streets.... Miss Kate Elliott

is winning encomiums ns a vocalist—she is “Little Buttercup” in the Pinafore Club, as well as the leading voice in the Democratic Glee Club The Democratic meeting, last Friday night, was well attended, and enthusiasm prevailed. The sailor hoys were out in force, and made a fine appearance Mr. Abe Stears, of Coatsville, visited here Monday. Miss Bridget Stears is also visiting here the guest of Miss Bell Browning P. 0. Harris is away over in “Bosting.” His sen Ed. is boss miller during his absence John Riley's stave wagon presented a “staving” good appearance in the procession, last Saturday Harry Elliott is working in Harris & Co's milt Water is so scarce in this End that the millers have to haul water to run the engine. The water in the rolling-mill pond has become so stagnant as to poison the hands of the workmen, who are in the habit of washing in the pond. Chris. Crawley has boon suffering with swollen feet and legs, caused by wading into the pond to attend to the water-pipes; at this writing, however, he is “so as to be about.” The attendance at Locust Street Church is increasing The incessant hammering of drums and blowing of llutes in the last few weeks have tortured the fol-

lowing from oar “poet:”

The t!liter is a Mr Rnloot:

He plays ''jaybird” with much ado. Ana we are happy—when he’s throuRh. Ami there’s thedrummer with his drum— The drummer thinks that he is ''some.'' He thumps with all his might and main— To drum it takes a tniRhty brain. The boy with torch is called a torrhor. And who will snv he's not n 'torture?'

And who will say he's not

He yells and screams, tramps mile on mile, And calls it fun—''Well, 1 should smile.”

Will Murphy has had very hard luck since he began railroading. Tho mishap last Saturday night, in which he was considerably bruised up (narrowly ccaping with his life), makes the third accident which has occurred to him. It would seem, after so many escapes, that he was not born to be killed on tho rail James Lynch’s narrow escape, Saturday night, was even more miraculous than Murphy’s. He fell, and one of the cars, heavily loaded with coal, came crashing down upon him, one of the huge crosspieces barely missing his head and burying itself deep in the sand, while he was pinned down by a sill, (an iron rod which extends slantingly from each end to the middle of tho car), and would have been crushed to death had not the sand been soft and loose; for it was only by dint of hard scratching that he pulled himself, exhausted, from under tho cor. The miscreant who turned tho switch should be ferretted out and elevated by means of a rope. Hero is work for the North End detectives, "Nip and Tuck.” The sailor boys go to Danville, next Monday, to attend a grand rally, at which D. W. Voorheos is to address tho people... ... .The Public Spring nas been almost dry for the last three weeks, but. notwithstanding that fact, the tiro engine was taken down on Tuesday, and the cis-

tern connected wi;h the spring was pumped nearly drv, causing a heavier drain upon the spring, which is so low that it is impossible to get water without getting half mud. Two or three weeks ago we called attention to the fact that the spring needed cleaning out badly, and if the matter is not attended to soon the spring is ruined forever. This is the first summer for years that tho spring has been allowed to go uncleaned, and it is the first time in the history of Greencastlo that this valuable spring, which tills all our tiro cisterns, runs two planingmills and quenches daily the thirst of hundreds, has become so nearly dry. City Dads ! have it cleaned out !! Joseph Ford has returned from the country, where ho has been sowing wheat Wednesday night’s temperance meeting was attended by a small but lively crowd. Oc. Asltill) Aotfs. This department of the paper was unavoidably omitted last week. There will not be a lik^occurrence in the future. The Asbury Artillery Company, numbering nineteen men, participated in the sham battle at Indianapolis, last Thursday. They took their artillery from here, and report an enjoyable time. The students in the chemical department are taking great interest in their work this year. They find Dr. Baker a splendid instructor. The opening lecture was delivered on Sunday afternoon by Dr. Martin, in the College Chapel, loan unusally large audience. The Doctor’s subject was subject was “India,” which he treated in his usual thorough manner. 1 he large increase in the number of new students is due, in a great measure, to the earnest elforts of Dr. Martin <1 tiring the summer. A brother of Lew. Curtis, class 'SI, has entered college. Dr. Gobin, the new Greek professor, is at his post, already at work. The Doctor is a thorough scholar and an efficient teacher, which, with his genial manners, will make him universally liked. Had not the hoys better serenade Prof. Post and his wife? College opened Wednesday morning. It is a noticeable fnc that the majority of the students who have entered so far are new men. The Military Department, under the efficient management of Lieut. Hamilton, is an assured success. It is earnestly hoped that the students, and cspecally tho new ones, will take an interest in it and do all in their power to make this one of the finest military organizations in

the State.

Over three hundred and fifty students have been enrol ed this term. Tuesday afternoon there was a called meeting of tho two literary societies for the purpose of electing editors for the Monthly. Messrs. Conrey, Finney and Scarritt were elected by Plato; and Messrs. Ketcham, Eliott and Morris from Philo. It was unanimously agreed by the Philologians that the editors should have one-half the profits(?) of the paper. The members of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity were pleasantly entertained by Mrs. Washhurno, at her residence on Bloomington street, Wednesday night. They report Inning had a delightful time. The party was given in honor of Charlie Martin, who leaves for India next week. Wanted.—A good second-hand dic-tionary-holder. Apply at this office.

BitinbrialKO. The weather is very pleasant, and well calculated to mature corn, which, after all tho complaints in this township, will be pretty fair The political horizon is not overcast with lurid clouds, as in days that are past and gone. The parties soon may sing the fascinating song— Republicans and Democrats, Come luten to a good old story— At this election cock your hats And march away to glory. Wheat sowing is progressing finely— a largo acreage is being put in, and it is in better condition than usual, thereby

insuring a bettor reward for the labor of tho husbandman The sick in tiiis community are generally on tho improve. For this we are thankful Dr. Dunnington is again on the streets, after a long and tedious illness Mrs. Grinstead is yet in a very critical condition Mr. John W. Peyton has become a citizen of Bainbridge Joseph Boss who has been in Kaufman county, Texas, has returned to Rainbridge to spend the remainder of his days. Dr. R. F. Stone is preparing to move to Indianapolis, where, in the Centra! College of Physicians and Surgeons, j he will occupy the chair of “Special Therapeutics and Chemical Medicine. Success to the disciple of .Esculapius... Mrs. Dam all, the amiable postmistress, and Mrs. McDaniel, the popular milliner, have had tho roofs of their houses painted with iron paint, presenting quite a sombre appearance Thu joint discussion here, between W. G. Neff and M. B. Welch, passed ofi'quietly The man who gets the most votes will be counted in. Of all the sad words that ever were heard, The saddest are these—I’m not prepared So-So.

An exasperating debtor at Redwood Falls, Minn., was hanged to a treo by a party ef his creditors. When ho was nearly dead they lowered him and asked him if he would pay. He feebly nodded his head, but on recovering breath enough to speak he said that he had no money. Then they pulled him up again and came nearer to killing him than before. This time he did not hesitate, but immediately satisfied their claims.

Charles Greenburgh loved the widow Cleveland, in whose hoarding house he lived, at Norwalk, Conn., but could not make her realize the fact. After assuring her of his devotion again in vain, he siezed a rope and ran to tho woods. The widow gathered the neighbors and went in pursuit. They found him hanging to a treo. He recovered however, and she, convinced at last of his sincerity, has promised to marry him. The clothing of a workman was caught between cogwheels in a mill at Davenport, Iowa, and ho was being slowly drawn in, when two comrades grasped his arms, and a “tug of war” ensued. The wheels would not let go, and the men braced and pulled with all their might. Tho workman was finally rescued, hut without a particle of clothing about him.

A couple of lovers went together from Ripon, Wisconsin, to Fond du Lac, and telegraphed back to the girl’s parents: "May we get married? „ Please wire consent immediately as the ceremony will he performed this evening anyhow.”

Mr. and Mrs. Ames, of San Francisco, agreed that they were unsuited to each other, and that a separation was desirable, hut how to obtain a divorce was puzzling, because neither had a grievance that would stand the test of the low. Their conclusion was that the husband should give the wife cause for complaint by whipping her. So he amiably knocked her down and she got the divorce.

At a recent anniversary celebration of the battle of North Point, near Baltimore ten of the sixteen survivors marched in the precession. Their ages ranged from 83 to 95, and the oldest carried the flag which they defended—the identical one which, on that occasion, incited Key to write the “Star Spangled Ban-

ner.”

A North Corolina man planned to frighten his wife by a sham attempt at suicide. He was to very gently hang himself and a friend was to cut him down; hut the friend was not prompt, and the plotter was choked to death. A young wife remonstrating with her husband on his dissipated habits, was answered: “Iam like tho prodigal son, my dear; 1 will reform by and by.” “I will be like him too,” she said; ‘ I will

atise and go to my lather.”

An Indiana evangelist known as Fath- ’ er Blake has wealth and considerable skill as a painter, and he devotes both tr ornamenting rocks and fences with scrip- 1 tural injunctions.
