The following irentlenn were, ap-

nointeil to wait on our Senator ami Representatives at the eommence ment of tlie eomimr session of the Lesjislature anil present the above petit ion:

John S. Grey, Jaeoh ll.irshbargiM", James A. Mount. Committee 'John A. Johnson, Samuel lleofgen. J. N. Porch. Alternates.

A motion that the Council pay the expenses of the committee was lost by one vote.

The executive committee nuule a report of their examination of the books of the Grange store, and other trailing houses which was satisfactonauy received.

The following gentlemen were appointed a committed, to confer with a

similar

Archibald Johnson moved that David Knocli, Morgan Snook and. ''-"John Mulchings lie appointed to wait on our Senator and Representatives, before the session of the Let islature, and solicit thein to 11*1 their best efforts to secure retrenchment and economy 111 the expenditures of the State government, a reduction of saUries, and a "reform policy generally."

The question of donations to the '•'•'sufferers in the grasshopper region was discussed at much length, but nothing was done beyond an understanding that contributions could be sent to the Secretary of the State

Grange, to be forwarded by liini to thenevdy sections, or sent direct, as the giver might choose.

A motion to amend the by-laws relative to the election of delegates was postponed until the next meeting.

Some delegate called attention to the statement of Tom Tattler, in last week's Journal, to the effect that some of the high privates among the Grangers are beginning to inquire to what purpose that one million dollars which has been sent to Washington is being applied, and also why it is necessary to pay the. expenses of county delegates who may wish to !o up to Indianapolis on private business. And while they are inquiring whv not investigate whether they are not completely at the mercy of then irresponsible, designing leaders, who not. being a body corporate, can pocket their funds and they can whistle? If is time that the press should speak out against this gigantic swindle. Facts antl figures can lie given if any Granger takes exception to this."

J. A. Mount thought Tom Tattler's scribbling unworthy of notice. John Harnett, said if the council took notice to every little whiffet that snapped and barked at their heels they would soon have every cur in the county yelping at their trail.

Archibald Johnson introduced a motion which was carried, that as Tom Tattler was not a Granger it •was none of his business what the Grangers paid their delegates.

Jacob llarshbarger made a very satisfactory statement relative to the proceedings of the State Grange and the action of the delegates of this county, during its session.

A vote ol thanks was extended to the delegates for their services at the State Grange, this being the banner county, and that fact being attributed to their services.

The President called attention to the fact that the officers for the ensuing year would be elected at the next regular meeting.

Several measures were introduced upon which no action was taken, and some passed that were not made public.

The consideration of the railroad question was postponed until the ... next regular meeting.

CUIIINO SAGACITY.

I E-«fct Oreenwwli, R. 1., Letter.] Michael Cnnley, the sewer contractor, is the pnsMsser of four grehnund, which were the 01 her morning the means ol stvinp a man's life, displaying a reniarkatile decree of sagacity in the oper ation. Felix Trior and James Carroll were al work in an excavation about seven leet deep but abotn 9 o'clock (.'amill went awav for something, leaving lJrnir in the excavation alone, and while the hitter was at work the banks eavt-d in, completely covering him up. The dons happened to be near by, and a I four ot tlu'in, taking in the unlortunate man's situation, at once begin to sciateh away the dirt from over his head vigorously, at the same time yelping to a'lraet the attention of the neighbors.

Mr. Cnnley. who was the first to arrive upon the scene, drove his dogs away, but they returned and began to dig and yell) a^aiti. He then be^an dig alro, as did siim« of the neighbors who had b-en ai traded to the spot hy the cries oi the hounds, and it waa not long beiore the head of the buried man, who was standing up, was reached, aud he was permitted once more to breathe the tresh air, which, had he been deprived of it a few minutes longer, he never would have breathed again. He wa taken from (he sewer unharmed, rescued from a horrible fate through the sagacity of a quartette ot dogs.

Ituisilig tile Living.

"IKrom the I.uF»)reU«Courier.| Raising the dead has been supersed ny rai.-ing the living in a way '"thai is strange and peculiar. The youn la dies and ueutlenien of this city when gathered together for an evening of .-ocial enjoyment, w! .le away the hours with a wierd, mystical, mysterious gone called "raising the living." and whether it is a spirtulalstic or scientific amusement we leave our readers to judge.

One of the party lays upon tl.e flour at full lenght. Five or six of tin/ persons present station thenicclvex br»ide the prostrate body, one at the head, one at the feet, and the rest along the sides At a signal all put the ends of their fingers under that portion of the person they are be»ide only far enough for a hold. At another signal the party to lifted aud tin lifters inhale the air. and without any expenditure ot force the party on the floor is lifted from three tw five feet on the finger tip* of his or her companions. The only things to he re mcmhered are to all inhale at once and not to laugh. •.:•

The experiment hns been tried for tome weeks in LaFayette by different circles of young people, and invariably with rucccss. It is a curious scientific phenomena, and affords infinite amusement.

The indications are that the rush to Kansas and Colorado will be greater than ever in 1874. The shortest way to reach the tar West is through St. Louis, the ereat Mississippi Valley City, of over 4ot),0(l0 inhabitants, and thence west over the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern Short Line, which reaches all the great land grants in the West, and runs six fast

Kxpress trains, two more than any other mad, between lite Misrssippi and Missmiri rivers. This road, in the 11st two years, has expended over two million dollars, besides earnings, in extraordinary improvements of roadway, in relaying its line with best quality of new steel and iron rails, on broad new ties, aud in passenger equipment, having substituted for ordinary cars new .reeliniiitr chair coaches, with every appliance for comfort and safety, being elegantly carpeted and fitted with dressing rooms, with toilet conveniences for ladta, gentlemen and families traveling witli cliilren,
