Arlington. Tho Midland is monkeying along making a stagger at being a railroad at present, and lots of promises for the future. Its southern or western terminus is in a woods pasture this side of Browns Valley, where a few detached care are making an.eifort to show themselves above the weeds, the flats having given it up long aeo. Much fun is poked at the Midland, but the old L„ C. & S. W. was as bad for several years alter It was built, and it may be that the new road will amount to something yet.— Bockville Tribune.

A heart-rendering affair occurred at Valpari80 at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning. A coal oil lamp had been left burning all night at the residence of John Hamlet, who lives near the city. The lamp exploded and set the house on tire. The building waB consumed so rapidly that the neighborhood people failed to arrive in time to be of any assistance. Mr. Hamlett was absent at the time, but his wife and four 0" her children were burned up. The oldest child was eight years old. The house and its contents were tconsumed. The sad affair has spread a pall of sortow over the entire community.

W. J. Snyder, the expert engineer of Black Creek, was in Elmdale the fore part of the week, and while on the farm of James Ames inspecting a threshing machine, had quite a thrilling experience. It appears that a half dozen familjes of bumble bees had taken up their abode in the old machine and strenously resisted the invasion made by Snyder. Being clothed in light regalia he felt the force of their attack very strongly. After fighting off his assailants he was found to have been stung in about a hundred different places and suffers much therefrom.

Last Sunday Hardy Songer and his father were sitting in a buggy at the Park watching the ball game which was going on, when the pony owned by Perry Glasscock, became frightened and gave a kick that sent Hardy about four feet up in the air. When he landed on the ground, they all thought him dead, but as good luck would have it just gave him a good scare and broke his watch that the pony kicked at instead of Hardy, but as be was leaning over he received the kick. His father who was in the buggy at the same time, escaped without an injury.—Veedersburg Reporter.

One.of the greatest meetings of farmers ever held in this part of the conntry was the F. M. B. A. celebration at Sugar grove to-day (Friday). There were sixteen lodges with a membership of nearly 500 persons from this county while the order and farmers of Edgar county turned out en masse. There was an immense procession Interspersed frequently with bright banners bearing some rather striking mottoes. Among them was one rrom this township which read "Equal and exact justice to all, immunities to none." There were many others equally as decisive. The vast scene was inspiring and showed that the American farmer was not so sound asleep as the monopolist supposes him to be. The speeches were pointed and forcible and the more radical the louder and longer was the applause. There were fully 10,000 people present.—Clinton Argus.

It is Mount, of Montgomery.

The republicans ot this congressional district, met in convention at Brazil on Wednesday last to name a candidate for congress. There were three candidates in the field, J. A. Mount, of Montgomery, and J. Hodson and V. Coulson, of Vigo. The first ballot stood: Mount, 125 Coulson, 61 and Hodson, 44. Mount's nomination was then made unanimous. Besolutions endorsing hard times, nonfree coinage ot silver and much protection to monopolies were read and vociferously received and the convention adjourned. There has been great trouble in the rankB ot the rads for some time past to find timber to make this race for congress. Jim Johnston did not .want it, in fact no one could be found who did want it until one day -Deacon McCain, who was beating fte bushes in the neighborhood of SbaaBOndale, found a little piece of humanity which he named Mouut. In this little man Mc. found just what he wanted, an inate desire for office. It didn't make much difference what the office was just so it was an office. The Journal started the boom and as there was no active opposition of course its man was nominated. That Brookshire will be returned to congress is now without doubt.

"IF THE COURT UNDERSTANDS HERSELF AND SHE THINKS SHE DO."

Origin of This Peculiar Expression. A great many persons have smiled at the odd, homely and peculiar expression quoted above without ever learning its origin. Without claiming any pride in the matter it might truly be said to have first originated in Montgomery county, and attracted attention under the following circumstances. Half a century ago when the country was sparsely settled, courts not numerous and litigants few, there resided in Coal Creek, a Justice of the Peace, known as Squire Klrkpatrlck, who lived a short distance west of the present village of New Richmond. The "Squire" was a very dignified individual, fully aware of the great responsibility resting upon him, and a great stickler for the "law" as he understood it. On one occasion two young sprigs of the law, who afterwards became renowned in their profession and in the halls ot Congress, Hon. Henry S. Lane, of CrawfordsvHle and Hon. John A. Pettit, of Lafayette, were trying a case before the dignified and austere "Squire," at his office. Politically it might be said the Squire and Mr. Lane were of one and the same mind —both whigs, while Peitit was a democrat. The case before the Squire was warmly contested on both sides, but for some reason when appealing to the Squire he would usually say, "If the Court understands herself and she thinks she do, then I decide that in favor of Lane." The case continued for several hours, and as point after point would be raised by the respective attorneys, the decision would lie heard in the slow drawling voice by the Squire's "If the Court understands herself and she thinks she do, then I decide that point in favor of Mr. Lane." Pettit now began to be decidedly waspish and irritated. Notwithstanding his strongest efforts every "pint"' of the law was continually being decided against him. Finally after forbearance had ceased to be a virtue, he arose quickly In his seat and in aloud voice exclaimed, "It the Court knows herself and she thiuks she do, she can go to h—I,d—n her,"and moved from the room. The "Court" thus grossly iusulted ran to an adjoining room for a riffe to shoot Pettit, who in the meantime hurriedly mounted his horse. In the baste to move away before the "Court" should reach him with the gun he forgot to unhitch his horse. Lane came to his relief and speedily unhitched the animal for him, while the "Court" wae closely pursuing, aiming to "draw a bead" on Pettit. Pettit got too far away for the "Court" and after a few minutes it returned and gave its decision in favor of Lane's client, of course. In after years in recounting events ia his eatly law practice there Was none Col. Lane was more 1 mused in relating than this. Lane.Pettit and the "Court" have long since passed over the river to the other shore, yet 'hiB homely phrase as used by the country Squire seems destined to live for ages to come.

Shades of Death.

Terra Haute News. A party of capitalists have bought several hundred acres of ground lying around the Shades of Death, or Garland Dell as it is now called, laying on Rock River, near Waveland. The place has been converted into a beautiful summer resort and is rapidly growing in popularity. A good hotel has been built, and excellent accommodations have been provided ior parties seeking rest and pleasure during the hot months. The place is four miles west of Waveland, which is about thirty-fire miles north of this city on the LoganBport road. There has always been more or less trouble ex" perienced by parties wishing to go there on account of having to take hacks from Waveland over, a distance of four miles over poor roads. The company which now owns the land has asked the Vundalia to build a spur of its track over to a point near the hotel and thus facilitate passenger travel. The switch will in all probability be built as soon as the company and the Vandalia people come to an agreement.

Garland Dell is on Rock river and includes all of what is known as the Pine Hills Glens. Up the river about two miles from the Shades proper is the famous bluff overhanging the river known as the "Devils Backbone." Rock river affords some fine fishing and the whole place for miles around abounds in natural scenery. With very little improvement it can be made one of the finest BU mirier resorts in Indiana, and if the Vandalia builds over to it the passenger travel will take a boom.

Death of Rev. A- Marine.

Rev. A. Marine, a prominent minister at one time in this state, died Saturday morning at 9 o'clock at his home in Lincoln, Nebraska, of a disease of the brain. He was one of the most eloquent and powerful pulpit orators in Indiana and the Hoosier Methodist church suffered a severe loss when he united with the Nebraska conference. He had been an Invalid for several years and his death was expected. A widow and two children survive.

Saloon License Galore.

The court of Vigo county having declared the two-hnndred-and-fifty-dollar saloon license ordinance to be valid and the time expiring enjoining the mayor from Interferring with the saloon keepers not duly licensed, there was a rush of liquor venders this week at Terre •autetotake out a license, this being the last week of graee.
