Mr. “Bawly" Traster is hauling : the brick from near Syracuse to Milford . which are to be used in the construction ' of the new business house in that place. I The large loads he has hauled have been the wonder of our citizens, but one day last week he completely eclipsed all hu previous feats of hauling. Loading * two wagon? with twelve hundred brick on each, them into Milford at one load with a single span of homes. Brick are said to weigh a fraction over four pounds each, which would make tiie aggregate weight of the load about r five tons. Who can beat it ? Cook-Stove and Dictionart.—No well regulated household is complete without a copy of Webeter’s Unabridged Dictionary. We would as soon think of getting along without a a>ok-«tove. One young man in tliis vicinity bought two copies of Webster at the bookstore within a few weeks. When he purchasF ed the second one the proprietor asked ’ him what he was going to do with two. “Why." said he, “I have just got mari ried and my folks won’t let me take • aw ay from the house the dictionary I I first, bought, so I am obliged to get another as I cannot get along without it;" and the yonng man was right Another Fox Htnt.—We are auj thorized to announce that a grand fox hunt vriil come off over in Elkhart county, on Saturday, Feb. 1 Sth. 1875, . the circle to close near what is known as Conclazer chapel in “Elkhart Bot- > tom." The foftowing named persons will act as captains and take charge of tiie respective division?: West. M. Nichcdoy; south, John Hire; east, Jesse Hire; north, M. J. Stiver. West and south will meet at Heck’s school house. ! No plus will be allowed on the grounds, j ami d<>gs must not be turned loose un- j ' til the circle is closed. It is expected ; ‘ that all will obey the orders of their re-! spective captains. All are cordially invited to participate in the hunt.

We liave seen that hand before. It was engaged on Ix'th side* of the crusadn It was always run in the interest of the clique here. It was detected in writinganonymous threatening letters to Dr. Whippy and Elder Stanley. It has no need trf borrowing Wunderlin's machine out in Wakarusa, as it low om of its own, run in the Interest of the Lord and the devil at the same time, but always running so as to toll every grist that goes through. That Land had better keep out of our dish or ite will lie compelled to put a Idister on the back of its owner. Evidently the Democrat man is Msting his angry iKUwions Keep cool, brtdber, and you will be enabled to come nearer Ute truth in your wild guessing as to who the correspondent of the Enterprisk really is. It is the duty of our correspondent to faithfully chronicle the local news of Goshen, and if the conduct of our friend of the Democrat is such as to be the prevailing topic of conversation on tiie streets, he must know that it will be reported, just as it would be were the actors Timothy , O’Toole or rttrick Finnigan. “Ah Sin" is able to take care of himself. Det.kneracy in Joi rnalism.—The province of journalism b to faithfully I gather the current news of the day ted present it to the reader in such a manner as will con vey acorrect idea of what is transpiring in the world at large. For this the reader pays his money, and anything short of this is depriving him iof that which is justly his due. Fbtftt- : cal journals are established for the purpose of advocating this or that theory of administering ih^government, and to educate the minds of the peojde to act in concert with* this or that political organization, but that journalist who will knowingly pervert facts or suppress a portion of them in order to deceive his readers into, the support of any measure, however miKh it may affect hb party principles, is devoid of principle and should receive the scorn aad contempt of not only hb readers, but of the public generally. In this respect journalism has woefully degenerated from the honorable position which it b justly entitled to hbld in the ranks of the profeastooß, and in the heat of a partisan contest, but little regard b paid to the real facts in regard to any matter, if. by perverttag them, capital can be manufactured in the interests of the party in support ■ ■-11..--- - ■ j, iw..

Panonal Bqalta. George Crocker, Esq, of Laporte, was in town on Tuesday. Mr. Noah King has so far recovered as to be on the streets again. Messrs. Wanner and McVitty, of Goshen, were in town on Tuesday. Mr. David Strieby is lying dangerously ill at his residence a few miles south of town. We are sorry to learn that Mrs. John Gordy, living a short distance north of town, is quite sick. Quite a number of our Benton friends were in town on Thursday last Among them were W. B. Kyler, Jas. E. Banta and J. D. Corns. Mr. Harvey Vennamon ami Mrs. Rosenbarger, accompanied by Miss Amy Aber, teacher of the primary department of our village school, gave us a call on Saturday last We received a call on Friday last from our old friend, A. W, Banta, of Benton, who gave us an order for jobwork before leaving. “ Lon" is a wideawake business man and is the trustee of Benton township. Street Metes. bt wAtxn * douttul . This ice, oh, how deceiving! g Our streets presented a fdHom aplast Saturday. This year begins arid ends on Friday. This occurs but once in fifty years. This month has but 28 days. The I cold weather we liave had for the past month stunted its growth. The man who ’intimates that there was a fox hunt in this place on Thursday last,, is in danger of getting a “mansard" roof put over Kis left eye. Fishing on the lake is go<&, large numlters being caught but in consequence the boys are marked “ absent"' on the school roll oftener than their: fond parents are' aware of. I . ■ I ■ I i The icy condition of our streets and i f sidewalks for the l>ast few days has I I caused many of onr citizens to lose their equilibrium, and bring forth an oath that would do justice to a professional. A sleigh belonging to Mr. Aulebnry, of Milford, was pretty well used up on . Friday last, in front of Mr. Griffiths res- • idence on Main Street The horse l»e-1 I came frightened, and gave the sleigh a * few “left handers" just for the “fun of the'thing." ' If we are any judge of the effect of “tangle-foot" we think that a number | who participated in the fox hunt on ; Thursday last gut somewhat “befuddled" in the second story, and lost control of their* muscular organizations toward evening. Three of the most jolly men of Syracuse. Bili.Bowld. Ad. Ketring and Mart. ; Ilillalxdd took a pleasure ride to Bre--1 men recently. TiJnk of these three “innocents" going away from home unprotected from the snares and evil ways of the world that beset “rich as these7 We have seen a large number of different kinds of humorous signs advertising as many different kinds of business, but the following, we think, gets away with them all, which is tacked on ! the office door of a doctor friend of ours: “Come unto me all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” We don’t doubt it, as he is agent for a tombstone man. Josh Billings is not only a philosopher, but is also a poet To prove this assertion we quote the following from a family almanac, in which our friend Josh seems to be the leading contributor—a copy of which our druggist has kindly loaned us: < Bring o«t yun l bnu> nu cutter. And git yurv cutweut. Then hitch up Dubbin. or sum other knitter. And let the animile went. A number of our citizens went to Goshen on Monday evening last to hear Schuyler Colfax lecture on the life of Abraham Lincoln. One of the party was asked by in individual beforehand if he was going to attend. “Yes riree," said he, “ I would go fifty miles to hear a lecture on “ father Abe" if the devil himself was the lecturer. tte ExUnuw Grocery laUMUhJftent of C. For the last five or six years of our residence in Elkhart county, we made it a point to purchase our groceries of that prince of dealers, C. W, Bateman. Goshen, and we were always impressed with the opinion that this was one of the largest and most extensive grocery establishments in the county, from the fact that every available space ,in the saleroom was closely packed with groceries of every descrii»tiGn and of the best quality the market affords, but we were completely astounded at the immensity of the stock upon being shown through the entire establishment during a recent visit to that city. As we passed from roan to room of this establishment, we bad thought of making a note of the contents of each, but by the time we had completed our examination. we found it impossible to recollect a tithe, of what we had Suffice it to say that we were showfc through eight large rooms in the establishment, and that every available space from cellar to garret is closely packed with every description of goods known to the grocery dealer, and all of the best quality. In view of the fact that congress will undoubtedly place a heavy duty upon tea, Mr. Bateman has purchased an immense stock of this article, which he is selling at old prices, and those who desire to save money, would do well to make their purchases soon, as prices are gradually advancing. Mr. Bateman's saleroom is always crowded with customers, and his numerous clerks busy, and from anexperience of several years, we unhesitatingly say that for gentlemanly conduct and fair dealing, ba is excelled by no dealer in Northern Indiana. “Johnny, Where are you going T -Why, I am going to Stotler A Kindig’s to get mother some dry goods and groceries. They art selling everything aw/W eheap.

The plan of the expetlition had been fully matured by the chiefs and sachems of the Kosciuskiis, and runners had been dispatched to the neighboring tribes to have them prepare for the bloody work, and as the sun arose on that memorable morning, thewarriors ot Jie various tril>es of the east, west, north and south could be seen skulking through the forest, o'er hill, and valdey, armed to the toetn, and with murder in their hearts. In every dirpetion men were on the war-path; and a gleaming array of deadly weap- ; ons in the hands of those who were thirsting for blood, was gradually closing around the land in which was sup- . poised to be encamped, the tribe of Reynard. All uncoHsciotß of the deadly lines which. Anaconda like, were closing around them; mem<>ers of the tril>e of Reynard who bad grown gray in the service, -were refuting to the younger : members —the and pimniniet of the tribe —the particulars of the numerous raids they had made, and the spoils they had taken from their natural enemies, the Kosciuskos, when a commotion was raised in camp by the arrival of a messenger from the . north with despatches, informing them of the movements of the enenry- A council of, war was held, and it was 1 deemed advisalfte to evacuate their present quarters, and marching orders ] were immediately issued and in leas than fifteen minutes their late camping ground was as still as the grave.

The closing scene in the terrible drama . was drawing to a close. The circle of ( armed warriors closed around the open field where it was supposed death awaited the doomed Reynards, when it was discovered that not a solitary Reynard was to be seen.

The Enterprise speaks of the excellent fishing in its neighboring waters. If we can coax any one to go with us, we propose to take a summer vacation of ten or fifteen minutes upon the bosom of its piscatory waters, sometime during the next heated term. Will Bro. Prickett consent to guide us to the best fishmg places and to protect uS from toe dangers which beset youth and inexperience so far away from home? We assure our brother of the Plain Dealer that his proposed sojourn in our beautiful village shall be made both pleasant and agreed and that his “youth and.inexperience" shall not be-

We further agree to pilot him over the glassy surface of the lake to -British Island," where he can “lie down in green pastures," or we will lead him “beside the still waters” where he can cast his - lines” “ in as well as profitable places. And as our brother is, if we mistake not, one of the ancient editorial fraternity who conversed with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in regard to the circulation of some of the leading papers of Northern Indiana, and the amount of original matter contained on their outsides, with whom “athousand years in his sight is but as yesterday when it is past,” we can furnish him with a boat which we have no doubt he will instantly recognize as the counterpart of the one Noah constructed in which to remove his family to the summit of Mt. Ararat.We cordially invite our brother of the Plain Dealer to pay us a visit ’ 1 Benton Items. How about that postage?

Bolinger's cutter struck a stone and piled him and Mr. C. Miller, in the cornertof the fence. The horse ran away, taking a part of the cutter all the way to Goshen.
