THE Journal states the enterprise of building a new Catholic Church on the corner of nth and Ohio streets, during the present season, has not been definitely settled.

LICENSED BY THE UNITED STATES.-— We call attention of our readera to the new advertisement of S. C. Thomjpson & Co., appearing in another column, headed "Licensed by the United States."

BURGLARS ABOUT.—We have positive evidence that one or more burglars are in the city, and it would be well for our citizens to be ready at all hours to give them a warm reception in case they make a call.

DIVORCES.—Our court report shows eight unhappy, ill-mated couples, or people who imagine themselves so, were separated yesterday by our convenient di. vorcelaw. We learn there are about a dozen similar cases yet on the docket.

AN OFFICER from Brown county arrived here yesterday in search of a thief. He found hiB man, lodged him in jail and then wont on a "big drunk," Ho will wake up this morning surrounded by the four walls of the city calaboose.

YESTERDAY was a dreary, drizzly, slommiky kind of a day but we do not complain for it was just the kind of a day to make the grass grow. The cows want the grass, and we want the price of butler reduced. Thero's co-operative conglomeration for you.

A GOOD ONE is told on one of our candidates. While going the "grand rounds" out in the woods, he reigned his noble courser in front of an humble dwelling) and calling to a ragged urchin, asked where his father was. "Out in the back yard burying Towser," said the boy.— "Why, what was the matter with the poor dog?" inquired the candidate. "Worn himself out, barking at candidates," came back for an answer, and our friend drove on, leaving the father uninterrupted with his tumane worlc.

IN LUCK I—Wm. Koile, station agent at Staunton, on t,he Indianapolis road, a few days since drew the capital prize in the Piqua, Ohio, Gift Enterpriie. The prize consists of a farm of 166 acres, valued at $16,000, situated in Shelby county) Ohio, near the county seat. Mr. Koile is a poor man with a large family. He was agent for the sale of the tickets, and having a number left, concluded to keep them and forwarded the money in payment. He called on us yesterday, and stated that when his number was drawn the demonstrations were of the most enthusiastic character, the people gathering him up and parading him aboutthe streets on their shoullers.

SUDDEN DEATH I—Many of our reader* —as were those who heard it on the streets yesterday, as it was whispered from mouth to mouth—will be astounded at the announcement that PUTNAM BROWN died yestorday evening at four o'clock, of congestion of the brain. During the morning, while in his usual health, he walked down to the rolling mill, and returning at about noon, was seated in his office in conversation with his law partner, Mr. Hosford, in regard to the mill. In a few minutes after he sat down he complained of a pain in the head. Mr. Hosford in a joking mannor remarked that perhaps the click of the machinery was not out of his head, when the deceased instantly clasped his hands to the back of his head, said "I have a terrible pain here'-' and fell back in convul sions. These were the last words he spoke. Drs. Thompson and Read were immediately called in, the first named ar riving in ten minutes, but all their efforts to restore him proved of no avail, death ensuing in just four hours from the first attack.

An exemplary and useful life it thus suddenly closed by an inscrutable Provi dene©, just at the commencement of its broadening usefulness for Putnam Brown was naturally endowed with business talents of a high order, which he had cul tivated and perfected by habitual and un tiring industry. He united a sound judgment to a pure heart, and by his urbanity and suavity of mind and man ners, unobtrusive and unostentatious, had won a large circle of warm and attached friends. There will be many who will miss his frank, genial smile, and kindly offices of friendship.

This sad blow falls with terrible and crushing weight on his stricken family and relatives, and to them we tender the assurance of the deep and heartfelt sympathy of this entire community.

'We learn the company contemplate, in connection with other parties, erecting, this season, a blast furnace, to be located in close proximity to the rolling mill

NORMAL SCHOOL.—The Board of Trustees of the State Normal Schuol, adjourned yesterday after awarding the following contracts:

Iron work—Wm. J. Ball & Co. Galvanized Iron and Slating—P. W. Hagerty & Co.

The building is to be enclosed and all of the above work completed this season.

THE FRUIT CROP.—M. D. Bowman, the fruit grower of Vincennet, writing to a friend, gives the following condition and prospects of the fruit crop in that locality: "Generally the peaches are killed. In some localities scarcely any buds are injured in others all are killed. In the rich blue grass region, no peaches in the thin white oak land, they tell me tbeir peachcs are not killed. Pears, we think, are injured. Cherries mostly killed. Apples are not hurt. Strawberries are not injifred. The crop of small fruits, cherries excepted, will be good. Apple crop, prospect good. The "white oak" lands will, I think, furnish peaches enough for home consumption. "P. S. Have just seen a large peach grower from the sand land, who says he will have plenty of peaches another, from same region—location different—?ajs bis are all killed. My own opinion is that the peaches, not killed outright, will fall off before maturity.'"

HEINLS' GARDENS.—A visit to this delightful place, situated a short distance south of the rolling mill, is one of much pleasure, especially to ladies who take such great delight in flowers and all out door ornamentation. Under the warm influences brought to bear in tbe five largo hot houses, the Heinl Brothers now present a magnificent array of roses in pots, many of them just bursting into bloom, dahlias, verbenas and other bedding plants hanging baskets in great variety, stocked with the choicest plants. Many new and rare specimens have recently been added. That the Hcinl Brothers stand at the head of their profession in this line,£the many premiums awarded them at our State, county and horticultural fairs attest.

Besides their flowers and plants they are well stocked with well grown evergreens, fruit trees of every variety, grape vines, berries, etc.

In thisjconnection we would remark that it has to us always seemed strange that so many people persist in "living out of doors." They build a residence, large or small, they plant it on some eligible situation, yet for all that they "live out doors.' Not a rose, a shrub or a tree is planted, to ornament or shade, the wind whistles around the unprotected walls, tke house looks bleak and bare, and truly "stands out doors. We see such houses every day and griove for those who dwell beneath their roofs. And how little trouble, after all, to change such a home. A very little money, a few hours earnest work upon a pathway will make it a different affair and present an aspect declaring that somebody lives in that vicinity. A tree planted to-day will, five years hence, take yon in the shadow of its arms and sing you to sleep with tbe music of its rustling leaves, and when autumn comes will yield its juicy fruit an arbor, however rude, will in time grow with clusters of great brown grapes which you will gather as you may.

Then go to work don't let your house "stand out doors" any longer. It injures it in its present appearance, and undervalues it in the eye of every customer who would buy.

A" NARROW ESCAPE.—A boy nftmM Spring, about twelve years of age, came very near losing his life by drowning in the canal basin near John Haney & Co.'s warehouse yesterday. He was carelessly at play with other boys, floating about on an old gunwale, when he slipped off and sank. He soon rose but sank for the second and third times, and but for the great exertions of Messrs. John Stanley and Wm. Robinson—who wore at work near by and hearing the alarm rushed to the scene of thi accident—he would never have come up alive.

This term will carry the readers through rthe exciting State and Presidential campaigns.

No effort on our part will be spared to make the WSSKLY EXPRESS a useful newspaper, a welcome visitor, and a faithful exponent of Republican Party.— Aside from National affairs, the local politics of the State, Congressional District and County—in fact, every Township in the County will receive all possible attention. The leading Republican speeches of the campaign will be published and we shall continue our usual variety of telegraphic and home .news, bomo and foreign markets, &c?

Our Low Sate puts it in tbe power of Grant Clubs and local committees to supply their townships and neighborhoods with good Republican sentiments, at a trifling expense.. ffoto is tho time to form public sentiment. Good Republican documents should be put in the hands of those undeetded aa to which party to attach themselves. Few votes are changed by tho vast amount of time, money and talent expended just on the eve of election. Republican newspapers should be sown"broadcast."*i'll,hty are better than speeches, printed or oral, coming every week with sharp, brief, pointed items, they are the small shot that tell.— It i? a steady agency the work goes on continuously, as the seed grows in the ground. Democratic speakers and newspapers are stripping for the' field. Bad seed will grow if the ground is not occupied by good.

With this view, and that all possible good may be accomplished by a widespread circulation we have put the price of our campaign paper down to the lowest rate at which it can be published without actual loss.

Will Township Executive Committees, and our Republican friends generally aid us in this matter? Send in your orders immediately, that the good work may be commenced.
