THE state fair begins on Sept. 25tb.

THE invalid finds in "Dr. Liodsey's Blood Searcher" Natures great restorer. It is wonderful. Sold by all druggists.

LAST night Justice Steihmehl officiated at the marriage of George Hinton and Addy Call, which took place at the corner of First and Mulberry streets.

SATURDAY night Al. Ensey, clerk at J. A. Foote's, was burglarized of a pocketbook containing $6 by some thief whe effected an entrance into his room on north Eighth street.

noRSE

belonging to William Jacobs,

of Rosedale, died while being urged forward beyond his strength on the race track at the fair grounds last Saturday. Mr. Jacobs had refused an offer of $260 for tne horse on Friday.—fRockville Tribune.

DURING August the letter carriers delivered 660 registered letters, 63,739 mail letters, 26,134 mail postal cards, 4,749 local letters, 4,335 local postal cards and 47,995 newspapers, making a total of 147,592. They collected 48,345 letters, 24,020 postal cards and 13,996 newspapers, making a total of 86,361.

KNIT GOODS.

The Position of Senator Voorhees.

In the Evansville Courier of Saturday the following editorial paragraph, which is self-explanatory, appeared:

In an editorial paiagraph in Thursday's Courier we stated that Senator Voorhees voted in favor of the increase ol the duty on woollen goods. Mr. Voorhees yesterday telegraphed us as follows:

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Sept. 1,1882. George W. Slianklin: The statement in the Courier that I voted to increase the duty on woollen goods fifty cents is a mistake. I was opposed to it, anJ so announced in the Senate. Please publish this dispatch and oblige D. W. VOORHEES,

We are glad to make the correction, and would be happier still if Senator Voorhees was as sound on other features of the tariff as he is on this. The Courier's statement was made on the authority of an editorial article in the New York World of the 13th of August, we believe, or within a day or two of that date. We have not had a copy of the Record since Mr. Heilraan has been the Representative from this district, and, therefore, have been compelled to rely upon our metropolitan exchanges and the telegraph reports for the proceedings of Congress.

Politics.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN NEVINS. The Democrats of Nevins township held amass meeting at Fontanet on Saturday afternoon. Most of the candidates on the county ticket were present. Tlie meeting was held in anew hall which is not completed. Not over one third of the crowd could get into the building. An eloquent speech was made by Senator Voorhees covering substantially the same ground as the one he made in this city. He was followed by John E. Lamb, who discussed the record and official acts of Mr. Peirce as he desires to do in that gentleman's presence so he can explain it to the voters, it he will ever get through his summer vacation and his visits to "My Dear Hubbell."

The

last speaker was I.

N. Ive8ter, candidate for the Legislature. Mr. Kester is a close and logical speaker and his speech was listened to with close attention. The meeting was in every way a good one and good results will be sure to follow it. Once upon a time Nevins township was the banner bearer of Democracy in this county and it is believed she will give the tickct this fall her old time majority.
