—A distressing accident occurred last week to a family bv the name of Peddit, who were en route from Kansas to this county, and encamped on the Wabash, near Covington. On Thursday morning they were preparing to get an early start, in order to reach their destination before night. As breakfast was being prepared, a little daughter, about fifteen years old, drew near the fire to warm herself when her clothing caught fire. The girl, seeing all efforts to extinguish the flames were unavailing, ran to the river's bank and jumped into the water, but not before her lower extremities were burned in a horrible manner. Before night the entire family were furnished quarters in the Fountain poor asylum, and every effort was made to alleviate the sufferings of the child, who died at 10 o'cock the next morning.

—At Cloverdale, in Putnam county, on the night of the 29th of November, a man named Thomas Martin became offended at something said by his wife, and gave her three minutes to retract. At the end of that time he stood in the door of the house and shot her with a pistol, the ball taking effect in her head and killing her instantly. A man named Stanton was in the house, and interfered to save the woman, when Martin shot him, the bail taking effect in the shoulder. He is expectcd to die. The wife of Martin had her babe in her arms when she was shot, and fell back dead, clasping it. It is not believed that Martin made any charge of infidelity against his wife. He had been trying to get rid of her, and bad offered her $500 if she would consent to be divorced from him, as he wanted to marry another woman. After the shooting, Martin pretended to be crazy and went about telling that he had killed a man named Harris, whom he had not touched at all. There was great excitement in Cloverdale, and a strong probablitv that Martin would be lynched.

One II it id red Acres Knougli for a Farm. W. W. Thrasher writes from Fayette county to the Indiana 1''armer as follows "J wish to explain why it is that so many of our' farmers' boys seek other professions than that of "farming. Our western farmers as a rule try to do too much of everything, and do nothing right. First they must have a large farm of from three to live hundred acres or more, and all the money made must go to buy more land, to make more work. Such men work from day to day, year in and year out, without cessation, together with their boys and girls in fact the whole family are rushed through from one year to another and see no end to work, and thus they become discouraged and dislike the whole operation, and by the time they become of age, and often before, they leave home disgusted with farming, and seek other professions for which they are not mentally or morally prepared, because they have been worked as so many oxen or horses, and have no opportunity for education to any great extent for such farmers can not afford, they think, to lose the time of boys and girls to send to school, but little, say two or three months in the Win t«r. And then they must work mornings, nights aud Saturdays, and have but little time to study, or learn but little, until Spring \ork comes, aud by the next Winter they have about, forgotten all they had learned the previous Winter. "I wish now to speak of another thing connected with this mode of doing business, that perhaps exerts a worse influence with the farmers' children than the excessive labor spoken of. The farmer carrying on this large business must have hired help he hires several men cheap, without regard to their moral or mental training, no odds so they can work. These men become the associates of his children year in and year out, and the the children partake more or less of their vices then the children being disgusted with farming, start out to do for themselves with but little education or moral training, together with bad associates. No wonder then that they make failures, and perhaps fail in everything they undertake, and finally become discouraged, corruption and vice follow, and who is to blame? I answer their parents. If the same man portrayed above, would start with one hundred acres, make money and spend that money in fertilizing his 100 acres, in beautifying bis home and educating his children mentally and morally, and provide amusements at home, and give them time for recreation, make home desirable, then the boys and girls will work with delight, knowing they will have time enough from working 100 acres, to have their amusement and pleasure at mine. Such children raised in thw wav,

having not allowed any associates about your house, except those that will be a benefit to your children, rather than such associations that would be demoralizing, and when such go out into society to do for themselves, they are fitted to do their part in elevating their fellows, and thus be doing what their creator designed we should. No parent has a moral right to send out his children in society to make that society worse. The man then that is content with a 100 acres, will have time and means to discharge his obligations to his chihren and raise them to honor his name and bless society. The man with a 100 acre iarm should, as he will, have a pride to stock his farm with the very best stock, and will not have so much but that lie can well attend to it and keep it right, and this too is a source of home comfort for him and family to see line cattle, hogs and sheep, all adds to home attractions. Then he will have time to beautify his home so that when his children have company they will feel that the visitors are pleased with the beauty and neatness all about the house, as well as such children who are not worked down, but have only enough to make it a pleasure. This you can see by their brightness compared with the dull appearance of those that have labored on the big farm until they can scarcely walk. "If I have written enough to set parents, and especially farmers to thinking, I have accomplished all I designed. We are all in partnership and should try and benefit the whole.

Willis S. Webb and John Caldwell are candidates lor Director of the Insane Asylum.

Shall We have a New State House 7 (From the lndinnnpolis News.) The State papers are beginning to oppose the appropriation of any money for the purpose of building a new State Hons •. They say "let us get out of debt first." If the Legislature fixes the tax at five cents on the hundred dollars, it will take keen financiering to get out of debt, and a begining can never be made. The present building is old and rickety the Governor threatened to resign if had to keep his office there, and it is occupied only by the Board of Agriculture, the Geologiit, the Library, ana the Legislature, when in session. Something should be done this Winter toward providing a new -building. It would be advisable, perhaps, to levy a specific tax and thus accumulate a fund which will be available within a couple or three years. But to let the matter pass over for two years more will be very poor economy, for it costs a considerable sum to keep the old shell in repair. If the State can build a State House as economically and honestly as Marion county has built a Court House, it will not take over twelve hundred thousand dollars to give us a building equal to any in the country both in point of utility and ornament, and one that will last for several generations. The cost of erection distributed over four or five years would not be felt in taxation.

John Henry's fatlier-in-law, aged Si, took it into his head to get his life insured. "But, sir," said The agent, "you are too old for us to take the risk." "Why so," queried the old man. "Because speedy death is a sure thing." "Well, I have been looking at your tables," said the father-in-law, "and I find that there ain't one man dies at my years to a hundred that dies younger." The insurance agent couldn't see it, but John Henry says its good logic, and he'll "back the old man for fifty years yet."

The State of Nevada will be represented in Congress by the two richest Senators of the country, Jones and the newly elected member, William Sharon, who will succeed Stewart of Emma mine celebrity. Jones' income is reputed to be over $2,000,000 annually, and it is thought Sharon's will even exceed this amount. Ten years since Jones was a poor mac in San Francisco, but by his skillful operations in mining matter, he became innnens.ly rich in a brief period.
