IktESIS" WHO (According to the Courier) llare 3St the Jfeeea-
mmry Qaalifieaiions FOR "GOOD JURORS."
A large portion of the democrats mho hive been called to nerve on mnM ma men who were known to
scratch their tickets on election fajs. f en who invariably voted at least a part of the republican
county ticket,. and especially for
sheriff. Examine the election retains of the townships for the past ten yean and it will be seen that in some of them democratic.candidatce for sheriff have always run behind their ticket. And it is also known that Democrats who have voted for republican candidates for sheriff have, in - many eases, been given positions on the juries, either before or alter the elections. It is also &ot that democrats have been promised positions on juries, if they wonM vote for some republican candidates, and especially for sheriff. Such a state of affiurs is alarming. Men are tried for their lives or liberty, the widows and orphans have rights to be protected, and other important suits are to be decided by jurors in oar circuit court. It is high time then, that men should be
selected who nave the necessary

OBITUARY. Died, at his home in Bloomington, Ind., on the evening ot Sept. 30th, 1882, Samuel Mathers, aged 72 years. The deceased was born near Carlisle, Nicholas county, Ky., Sept 27th, 1810. He was the oldest of the eleven children of James and Susannah Mathers. His pa. rents were married in Kentucky and bad eight children before tbey moved to this State and three afterward. One of these children died in infancy, ten grew to manhood and womanhood. The family moved to this State and settled in Clear Creek township in the full of the year 1828. The year previous however, James Mathers had been out and pur chased 80 acres of land near Clear Creek station, now owned by Chef ley Woodard. The land was then in the woods, unimproved, and for it they paid the sum of S2Q0, or $2.50 per acre. The first thing after landing here was to go to work and put up a house to live in, which the family did, building it of round logs or poles making it 20x18 feet in size. This served them as a dwelling for several years, and ones the neighborhood gathered there
to now reuglous services ana hear preach ing. The country at that time was a wilder
ness and out two cabins had been erected between their location and Bloominclnn
The trials and hardships which came upon

By necessity, did, In part at least, their

ne learaeatoao wita considerable skill. After reaching the age of 22 years he felt that he ought to have something of nn education, accordingly in the fall of 1833
he entered the college here and continued
some three terms, defravinc- his exnenxa
by serving as janitor and working m va
cation, ami people nave Heard or, and many doubtless remember the famous
"falling of stars" which occurred about this time. This sight Samuel Mathers
witnessed and in a brief sketch of his life prepared a few years before his death, and read on the occasion of an Old Settlers's
mewing at jLetcnam s springs, ne gave among other things the following account of it : i waa at the college, and on the top of the old college bnildine the creator
part of the night, in which appeared that
great paenomenon mat we called falling of the stars. It looked as though there were ten thousand times ten thousand
stars falling from the b savant to the earth
with streams of fire fallowing them. The scene lasted from about 10 o'clock at night until daylight next morning." A few years after leaving college he
married and settled down near his old
home, where he continued to reside sever
al years enjoying bis full share of the confidence ana esteem, of bis neighbors and
fellow citizens. During this time he served as school trustee for several years and
as justice of the peace for one term. His wife having died in 1876 he was again married in December, 1878, to Mrs. Sarah Batterton, widow of George Butterton, who now survives him.
Bra. Mathers was a man of meek and
gentle disposition a counsellor and sin cere friend. As a christian too, he was 1
man of influence and worth. While young he had been carefully trained in the proprieties and duties of religion. Ha be
came obedient to the faith in his 17th year under the preaching of John Rogers, who at that time taught the Gospel in harmo

rnmo here until the organization of the church at Clear Creek, in 1830. Of that congregation he was made an elder, and
tins relation Co sustained to the church the remainder of his life, though at times but nominally, on account of absence. After his second marriage he lived in town and removed his membership here. In the sketch above referred to, ho gives a few brief statements concerning bis belief which are bera subjoined : 'I am a confident believer in a special providence of God, as woll r a general providence in accordance with the laws of nature." HJnrly in yooth I was taught to read the Scriptures and believe in them as a revelation from God to man. The truth of this I have never doubted in all oiy life."
