The war of 1812 closed more than seventy years ago, and yet there are according to the last annual report of the Commissioner of Pensions, 3,899 surviving soldiers and 19,512 widows on the pension rolls.
General Grant's book promises to be most interesting. It will be issued late this fall, and will meet with a hearty reception by the American people, both North and
South. It will contain about eight
hundred pages, and baa real merits
from a literary stand-point, but its
teal value is in its historic worth
Another evidence of the hypocrisy of President Cleveland in matters of Civil Service reform
crops out in the appointment of
Daniel MoSweency, the ex suspect

the treasury at a salary of eight dollars a day. Seep au eye on the rascal?.

Skelton bought at the land sale in Martinsville a quarter of the sixteenth section of land iu Ashland township,now owned by B. O. Butter field, about the center of which is a large Spring. The water boils to the surface, runs some fifty yards and enters the ground again. Around this opening the nettles and pea vines grew very rauk, and as the weather got warm large quantities of snakes of every de
scription and size trom the most
venomous to the comparative harm
less would crawl out oi this den and stretch their attenuated forms in the warm sunshine. As summer
advanced and the solar rays became
more vertical, the snakes grew bolder and would crawl further from hiding place, until at last an acre of this abundant vegetation would be literally alive with them. This dangerous state of affairs so alarmed the early inhabitants that they called a meeting at which a time was set apart for their extermination. Accordingly one warm summer day, the citizens collected at the spring and drove down boards C'cketing in an enclosure sufficientlarge to hold all the serpents in the neighborhood. They then reposed under the umbrageous trees of the primeval forest waiting for the snakes to put in an appearance, and they did not have to wait long, for soon the enclosure was full. Then these afore named pioneers secured clubs, enclosed their feet and legs in buckskins and entered the pen where extermination commenced in real earnest, and ere the sable curtains of night bad bidden the orb of day there was a huge pile of about eight million snakes lying dead and bleeding on the grouud. Bloonificld Democrat : From every corner encouraging reports are received of growing corn. The acerage was never so large nor the pro.spcc.ts better.

spent two weeks with their relatives, returned home Monday, accompanied as far as Indianapolis by Willie and Eddie Hoadley. Tabor was greatly excited this
morning by the appearance ot a
swarm of bees on the highest build
ing. Their rumbling noise was
supposed to be fire; but they were soon put to flight by the fire engine
from liioomington. Good fishing times. The most successful were Miss Lizzie and Fanny Grange and Mrs. James Goss. The latter caught au eel three feet long,
meauiog, and hence did "Ot translate the word. The word bell,' iu its usual signification in tbe minds
of the people, does not express thci meaning of 'sheol.' An Eastern; exchange denily explains the matter thus: Originally "hell" like the Greek "hade," was the exact equivalent of "sheol,' both being the designation of a vast hollow place or cavern under the earth where tbe spirits of the dead were supposed to dwell, not in torments, but still iu darkness and discomfort. Tbe place of punishment was called by the Hebrews in later days "gehenno," from the name of the valley near Jerusalem where rubbish and ordure were cast and where fires were kept burning to purify the air. The idea of "hell" as a place of torment is a modification of the original conception, but it has become so firmly established that the word no longer answers
to tbe Hebrew "sheoi," and has
therefore properly been discarded by the revisers.
A very important case, legally and financially, was decided by the Supreme court yesterday. In the summer of 1880 the large starch works of J. A. & J. M. Cunningham, in Vincennes, were burned, entailing a heavy loss. The insti
tution was situated by the side of
the J!.vaisville & Terre Haute Railway and sparks from a parsing locomotive set the works on fire Messrs. Cunningham sued the Railroad company for 200,000 damages. The case was tried in the Knox county circuit court in 1881, and tbe verdict was found for the defendant. The plaintiffs' attorneys appealed to the Supreme Court. Tbe case was briefed twice and twice argued orally, so important were the issues involved. The Supreme Court reversed the decision of the lower court and sustained the plaintiffs. .4 3od Day for Snakes.

Tw Very Surprised Ladles. South Bend Tribune. One of the most singular, most amusing, and at the same time, for the victims, most annoying robberies, occurred in our city Saturday. Two elderly ladies ou Michigan street were looking at the circus procession pass by. So intent were they in gazing upon tbe dazzling pageant that not only their eyes, but their mouths were wide open, and while io this awe-struck condition they were each startled by the slap of a rough hand over their mouths. Of course they were mad, and looked around with great indignation to see who could be guilty of such a rude act, and it was not until they attempted to speak, in order to properly express their wrath, that they discovered their false teeth were gone. The thieves hi'd looked into I heir wide-opened mouUis, and saw that the plates containing the teeth were of gold, aud they wanted them.
Peterson's Magazine. We have before m the current number of this well-known favorite Of the Indies' monthly. It is a splendid number, with ii perfect galaxy of steel-engravings, colored fashion -plates, colored patterns for the work-table, tales, poetry, etc. Undoubtedly, 'Peterson" is not only the best, but the cheapest magazine of its kind, being but two dollars a year to single subscribers. To clubs it is cheaper still, with (Treat inducements to those getting up clubs, Subscribe to no magazine until you have teen a oopy of "Peterson."

In conversing with-a number of our farmers, during the present week, it is the general expression that the prospects for an abundant corn crop was nevsr better in Morgan county. A large per ceutage of the crop has already been "laid by." The yield of wheat will be better
than expected. Joe C. Rhea, of
the Poor Asylum, shows some very fine specimens of wheat. Martinsville Gazette.
