A few weeks ago we published an article entitled ‘‘A Calculating Cat,” but here is a story vouched for by Mr. Conrad Cook, of this city, that discounts the first mentioned. It appears that some weeks ago one of Mr. Cook's neighbors moved away, leaving a cat with three kittens behind. Pussy and her little ones remained at the deserted house until they became so weak and poor from starvation that death seemed only a quo stion of time. Just about this time Mr. Cook’s Cat lost several kittens by death, and the homeless vagraat at the neighboring house in some way learned this fact, when she immediately catried her own starved little ones to the bereaved neighbor. This thoughtfulness was apprecia ted, insomuch that the little strangers were immediately adopted and nursed by Mr. Cook’s cat, and at this time are spry and playful as well-fed kittens should be. Now, who can go this story one bet

Gentlemen who want handmade boots will be surprised to see what good ones they will find there. Christie is the exclusive agent in this county for the celebrated “Lilly, Brackett & Co.” men’s fine shoes. They are acknowl edged to be the best. When you want a good article in the hoot and shoo line don't fail to call on Christie. Y’ou will find everything you buy of him to be just as ho represents it. He has moved

day.

Thursday night Hill’s "All the Rage” party held the boards nt Opera House. There was a splendid audience out to hear the play, and it was appreciated from beginning to end. It would be a difficult task to mete out to the Company, individually, the praise due them—they arc all experts, well up in their lines and parts, and give an entertainment that cannot fail of appreciation

everywhere .

The best answer at hand now, is to visit upon them merited chastisement, or persuade them, if possible, that conversation carried on in the slang vernacular, reported below, is not ladylike, is anything but smart, adds nothing in the way of emphasis or impressiveness, and lastly is disgusting to the sterner sex.

The little talk above referred to, is said ' of the city

to have occurred between two belles of our city, and is reparted as follows; Says No. 1: “I don’t know what to do with that ool C. He just keeps coming, coming, until there is no sense in it; why he called on me five times last week.” “Don t he come to time?” asked No. 2. “Oh, yes, he drives me aut often, and is a very fair ’creamer.’ ” “Well, don’t you ‘shove’ him until the ice cream season is over; for if you believe me, a real ‘solid creamer’ is hard to couple on to now.” .“I know all that,” replied No. 1. “What have you done with Mr. L?” “Oh, we’re solid as concrete. I tell you I'm’mashed’. He is a 'daisy,' all wool and a yard wide, yott h#t.” Tin* Water Works tyuestioiw On Fopt. 20, 1881, the question, for or Ugainst Water Works, is to be submitted to the voters of this city, and it is to be hoped that there will be a free and ful 1 expression of opinion on the question, as it is one affecting the financial as well as many other interests of the city. In submitting the question to the voters, no defin.te plan for building the proposed works is laid down, neither is the source or means to be used for securing a supply of water suggested. It has been asserte d by aomc of our best posted citizens tbat the cheapest and best manner of securing a permanent supply of water is to sink artesian wells at or near the highest point in the city, and then build on landadjacen' thereto, a reservoir of sutficient capacity from whence water could bo distributed over the city by pipes. Others suggest that the best source of supply would be Walnut Creek, with a pumping engine to force water to the city through a large Water Main. Ono fact should be kept in view by the citizens and officials of the city, and that is, while the people are anxious and willing to do all in their power to secure a good and permanent water supply, on a fair, equitable and economical basis, they do not and will not be the vie tints of “jobberythat some man or set of men may feather their nests by plucking the taxpayers. If the people give their votes in favor of Water Works, it will be with the explicit understanding that the enterprise is to be conducted solely to the advantage of the whole city, and not for the benefit of the few who happen to be In ,power or “stand in” with the company or contractors, as the case may bi.

spell of sickness, the writer, on Thursday accompanied by a triend, boarded a train for a trip, the objective point a farm house seven miles south of Greencastle. Leaving Urawfordsville at 2:14 p. m., we are landed in Gteencastle nt 3:27, amazed at the rapidity with which the “old reliable” has traversed the space between the two points. There is nothing new in the scenery through Montgomery county, except that sparks from passing engines have destroyed miles of fencing and burned acres of stubble. Compared to the drouth in Putnam county, we, in Montgomery, have been favored. Until this day no rain has fallen in that county since June 17th, except a shower on last Wednesday, which barely laid the dust' Grass is entirely killed, and corn is burned out, but few fields being considered worth anything. The pastures are burned brown and the whole county is a scene of desolation. Fanners are selling their stock at almost any price, not more than one in twenty having feed to keep them. Hay is selling at $15 per ton; corn 80 cents and oats 50 cents per bushel, and each article is scarce at any

price.

Through a piece of good luck the trip, seven miles south, could not be made on Thursday evening, and we became the guest of A . Brockway, proprietor of the Greencastle spoke works, than whom a more pleasant and genial gentleman does not exist. We were made welcome at his elegant home in the eastern part

and by him driven over the

city on a tour of inspection of the fine residences, the iron and nail works, the lightning rod works, new Asbury University and every pcint of interest in the

city.

Of the manufactories, the iron and nail works may be considered first. There are employed at these mills some thing over one hundred and sixty men. The majority of them being men ot families. Think of the amount of money these men invest in Greencastle during tho year. Cole Brothers pump factory and lightning rods employ fifty men. Brockway & Rockafollow, spoke factory, also'employs between twenty-five and

fifty men.

The spoke factory is a new enterprise in Greencastle. The factory ia of about the same dimensions as the Streight planing mill, and is fitted out with the latest improved machinery at a cost of about $20,000. They manufacture spokes from the beat of white oak and hickory, and find ready sale for all work they can turn out. Wo were shown a shed containing 250,000 spokes which had been finished eighteen months. Dozens of loads of spoke timber are received daily, which bring from $12to .$20 per thousand for whi te oak and

to $10 per thousand for hickory. Uree’iiraNtle District

#W*A dispatch from Roachdalc, this county, dated Sept. 5, says: Dr. John T. Seller was taken sick with congestion of tho brain, last night, and died this morning at 11. Thinking he was not seriouslv sick ho took a dose of morphine before retiring fer the night, from which he could not recover. His father and mother live near Mace, Montgomery County, where he will be taken this afternoon for burial. Dr. Seller was a promising young physician— the first to locate in the village—and has been active in everything for the general good. *l^ A lady of this city hied away to Terre Haute a few days ago to buy silverware for table use. After inspe cting Terre Haute’s goods and learning prices, she was thoroughly convinced that Greencastle was the best place to buy, and purchased her ware at Brattiu’s. It^To be, ar not to be, that is the question. Would it not be better for all parties concerned to purchase articles they need from business men, who, for a long senes of years, have been known to be responsible, fair-dealing, honest purveyors to the wants of the trade. Especially is it necessary for the buyer to be careful in purchasing articles that none but experts can judge correctly. Heed these facts, and when you wish to purchase a good time piece (either watch or clock), silver or silver plated ware for table use, jewelry, spectacles, fine table cutlery, gold or silver headed canes, etc. call on Brattin, the old reliable dealer in these goods, who has teen serving the people of Gremcastle for twenty yeears or more, and invariably tries to do the square thing with his customers. Sale of rt'rsfiMiil Properly. The undersigned will sell at public outcry, on Monday, Sept. 19, persona! propeity, consisting of young stock, farming implements, eighty tons of hay, and thirty acres of coin. A credit of twelve months will bo given, purchasers executing approved notes. Lake Thornton, Bainbridge, Ind.
