          One night last week, the members of the Y.P.S.C.E. to number about twenty made a surprise on their president, Dr. John Lowden.  He was in his office when he heard a rig on the road supposing it to be some young folds coming to spend the evening with his daughter and Miss Harrell. He was about to repair to his residence to retire for the night, but thought that he would wait a few minutes until the youngsters would have time to get in the house.  But lo!  The office door was thrown open and the crowd filed in, completely filling the room.  The doctor was almost carried off his feet at this point.  The members had prepared ice cream and cake and were soon serving refreshments.  After all had been treated to cream and cake, some time was spent in conversation and music both vocal and instrumental.  The Endeavors departed at a late hour feeling that they had spent a profitable evening.

          Ed Louden  was brought here from Waldron, yesterday,and lodged in jail for failure to give lbond for his appearance in court to answer to a charge of petit larceny preferred against him by  Joe Hardebeck.  Tom Knight,  of Waldron, came up also and instituted surety of the peace proceedings against him, and Joe Hardebeck also swore out an affidavit for provoke.  Two charges of assault and battery will also be filed against him by  Messrs. Benson and  Gregory,  of Noble township, it is understood, and it is probable that before he gets through Louden will realize the truth of the old saying that "the way of the transgressor is hard."

          Yesterday morning  Geo. M. Wright  filed a petition of partition of  James E. Smith,  as guardian of the minor heirs of  Thomas Wickliff,  deceased.  The order was issued by the court and commissioners appointed.  The latter made their report dividing one tract and reporting the remainder as not susceptible of division.  The court ordered the last portion sold, and appointed  "Judge" Louden  as commissioner to sell the same.  Mr. Louden at once gave bond as commissioner, made sale of the land, reported the sale, which was confirmed by the court, deed ordered, reported and approved, and Commissioner Louden filed his report of disbursement of the proceeds of said sale, and was discharged from his trust, all in one day.  Mr. Louden also sold during the day another tract of land, as commissioner, for $3,300 , and issued certificate of purchase for same.

          THE STOLEN BOOKS FOUND.--On or about the night of the 9th inst., the office of the Recorded of this county was robbed of a number of Records books, Deeds, paper, &c., and on last Sunday night a part of them were found concealed in a straw stack on the farm of Robert Hankins, and the remainder in a straw stack on the farm of Coleman F. Storms, Esq.  Both of the farms are situated on the Michigan road --- one 5, and the other 7 miles from Shelbyville.  Two anonymous letters dropped in the Post-office in this place directed to D. Louden, led to the discovery of the place of deposit of the books.  And the disclosure of the place of deposit was made under such circumstances as induced the individual making it to believe that his individual safety depended on the disclosure.  We are mainly indebted to the energy and perseverance of our fellow citizens A. Cory and Col. Coalscott, for the recovery of these Records and Deeds; and we are also assured by these gentlemen that they will not, and do not claim any portion of the reward offered for the recovery of the books.  We are not advised that any disclosures were made implicating any person in the matter -- in fact, we presume none were made.
