& Soldiers' Reunion.

Last Sunday at the home of Samuel Nicholson occurred a meeting of the veterans of Co. B, 10th Ind. Vol. Inft., that will long be remembered among the many happy reunions of that distinguished war company. The comrades of Mr. Nicholson made his 54tli birthday the occasion of both a surprise to him and of a soldiers' reunion. It was a complete success. Mr. Nicholson was not at all aware of the coming of his comrades but retained entire self possession and all passed a most enjoyable day. The efforts of Mrs. Nicholson and daughter Emma, and of the wives of the comrades and neighbors in preparing an elegant and delicious dinner are certainly to be praised. The table, beautifully decorated with llowers, was loaded to its utmost capacity with good things and judging from the manner in which the guests partook of them we may safely say that all appreciated the efforts of the ladies. But the most pleasant feature of the day was the presentation of a beautiful gold headed cane properly inscribed to Mr. Nicholson, by his comrades of Co. ae a token of their respect and love for him as a brave comrade and a good citizen. The presentation speech was made bv Gen. M. 1). Manson. He said this token ol comradeship and love was made doubly significant by the fact that it was in the -lOOth anniversary of the birth of Liberty, which comrade

Nicholson

bravely fought to preserve

for three long years in the late war, and he hoped that this gift would be transmitted to Mr. Nicholson's posterity as a token of honor for the service he rendered his country. Mr. Nicholson tendered his sincere thanks to his comrades for their interest in him and for their elegant present. Of the 60 guests present the following were comrades: Gen. M. D. Manson, Jos. McDaniel, Elihu Nicholson, Gilbert Gray. Wm. Stonebraker, Jos. Stubbing. Wm. K. Harris, M. V. Wert, Samuel Bratton, Abe Switzer, and Jacob Swank.

Death of a Good Woman.

To all who knew her the announcement of the death of Mrs. E. B. Curtis will bring a sense of personal allhetion. She had been coniined to her bed for two weeks with typhoid fever but on Saturday was so improved that hopes for her recovery were high. On Sunday a change for the worse came and at clock that evening she quietly passed away.

Abbie M. Burke was born in Hamilton county, Ohio, August 20, 18-11, and was married to E. B. Curtis February 19, 1862, at Crawfordsville where she has since lived and reared a family of loving children, Mrs. G. W. Martin, of Indianapolis, Fannie, Abbie, Bessie, Arthur and Walter. She is a 6ister toMisses Lida,Kate, Nan, Mell Burke and Oliver, Milt and Marsh Burke. She has long been a faithful member of Center church and in this relation as well as all others made many friends. Her home life was particularly lovable and those whom she leaves motherless will feel a loss from which they will scarcely recover.

The funeral of the 'late Mrs. E. B. Curtis occurred at the family residence Wednesday and was largely attended. l)r. Cunningham conducted the services assisLed by Dr. i'uttle. The llovverbearers were Misses Nannie llumo, Ella Webster, Aim McCluer, flattie Ashlev and Idortense Holden. the pall bearers were O. M. Gregg. Harmon llutton, Ed O'Haver. Charles Ross, 11. IT. Ristine and A. M. Smith.

The President's Courtship. Cianoral .Lew Wallace tells t.Lus interesting story of the President's courtship: '•It happened in the town overlooked byMiami university. There was an academy for young ladies, of which Dr.

John

W.Scott was manager and president. The fair Btudents were a Btartling feature of the society of the village, and young Harrison was not so especially devoted to union literary society and* making good the favoritism shown him as an orator on occasions as to be blind to the sex." "It also happened that President Scott had a daughter, girlish, intelligent, witty, attractive, in whom the young man quickly discovered the qualities that entered into the composition of his ideal of a perfect woman. Suddenly he gave up his attention to the gentle patrons of the academy in general and became more and more a slave to his books than ever. For a season there was much wonder over the change. At length it was explained, he was engaged to marry Miss Caroline L. Scott, the president's daughter."

Made it Easy for Elbert.

Some months ago Elbert Ham, of Alamo, found a revolver and, although he had a pretty good idea to whom it belonged, he failed to return it. The owner found out that Elbert had the weapon and had the grand jury to indict him for larceny. He was arrested and Col. Courtney secured bond for him. The case was finally set for Oct.26 and the defendant's witnesses were all sick or absent. His bondsmen did not care to continue longer and finally Mr. Courtney rather than let the bov lie in jail six weeks waiting another chance for a trial, entered a plea of guilty for the lad. I he court who understood the case stated that as the boy was not actually guilty he would "give him the minimum punishment. Elbert was accordingly sent to jail for one day and fined 81.

A CRY IM THL NIGHT.

And When the Chill Morning Dawned the iiody of Wm. Clark Lay Cold and Stark before the Door.

The sudden and inexplicable death of Wm.Clark, better knownas EmeryClark, has caused quite a sensation. lie was Lhe son of J. A. Clark, of Clark Seering's planing mill, and although residing at Alamo spent much of liis time here where ho had a large cncle of acquaintances. Monday morning Clark and Dan Ham drove to this city in a wagon anil after spending the day with friends here started home along about 10 (/clock. Ham states that he noticed nothing unusual about his companion and that when reached Alamo shortly after midnight Clark put him out at his home and started for hie own place several blockp away. That was the last ever seen of William Clark alive. It was, perhaps, an hour later that one of his neighbors, Mrs. McSpadden, was awakened by a cry so terrible, so full of awful anguish that it chilled her very heart's blood. She started u» in bed and listened. Again came that awful wailing cry for help. It was not like the cry of a man but rather like that of a soul in torment. Again and again it I was repeated, praying in God's name I for aid. Mrs. McSpadden greatly Btart- I led and terrified thought she recognized the voice as that of ''Emery" Clark and finally awakened the men. They dressed I and stepped out at length just as the first gray streak of dawn illumined t.lio East. Upon the ground before the I house was found the dead body of Clark, I No cut or bruise marked him but his face, set in cold death, was agonized and distorted. How he died was the question, until the inquest of the Coroner showed that heart disease was the cause.

Eternally Wiped Up.

T. E. Ballard played a "heathen Chinee" trick on F.*W. Jacobs. Oct. 25, and consequently tripped up the whilom elder's heels in a most inglorious manner. 11, was understood by the large and intelligent audience w'hich chewed tobacco at the court house that evening that it would be a clash between the Democratic and Prohibition party principles. To a certain extent it was but Mr. Ballard took a very unfair advantage of his opponent in drawing a comparison between the records of the Republican and Democratic parties. This led to Jacob's confusion and overthrow as the comparison showed the Democrats up in a very bad light. The debate was entertaining as far as it went and all present report a very felicitious feeling.

Reason Enough.

John Hulett, one of Darlington's staunch old Democrats, was electioneering lom Talbert, the only colored man in 1" ranklin township, a few days since, trying to convince him that the Democrats were the only true friends of the colored man. and that lie (Tom) ought to vote'the Democrat ticket. Tom listened attentively with a far awav dreamy look in his eye for awhile: then suddenly bracing up, exclaimed: "Mietah Hulett. when I die I wants to go to heaven." Then there fell a great silence over the city for the space of a half an hour, and you could have heard a pin "drop" two squares. Then the meeting adjourned.

1? After Many Days.®®iS®IS Tuesdi.y afternoon Judge Harney granted Henry A. Skaggs a divorce from Louella Skaggs. Louella's looseness has been something remarkable, and Henry is to be congratulated by his many admiring friends. The suit which came to a close yesterday has been pending for several years, but from one cause or another has been continued from term to term. Among other things which Henry charged was that hie wife formed a conspiracy which sent him. although innocent, to the penitentiary.

Six More.

Tuesday afternoon the men at work on George Britton'B gravel pit exhumed six more skeletons. This makes a total of 37. As yet but a very few stone implements or relics have been found.

Harrison on the Battlefield. It was almost the middle of May, 1864, before Colonel Harrison had an opportunity to participate in one of those great battles which have become historic. Resacu was the field upon which he made for himself a reputation for coolness and personal valor which none can assail. He led on foot the charge of his brigade upon a formidable redoubt. Away in advance of the five regiments he ran across the valley which to so many was the valley of death, and still in the lead he clin^bed the hill on which scores fell to rise PO more.

Colonel Harrison was among J-lio

f\r?t

to cross the parapet. It has been said he was the very first. A hand to hand combat ensued, the gunners defending themselves -virh their rammers and the assailants attacking with their clubbed muskets officers exchanged pistol shots. It was in fact one ol the rare instances of a genuine bayonet charge without a shot fired except by the defenders of the redoubt. The air rang with victorious cheers, and fur awhile the inclosure was a see:.. of frantic joy. The colors had all been born.* inside, and to both friend anil enemy in the distance they announced that the height was gained.— Washington Star.

H'lf Democratic Parade.

The democrats of this city had secured the services of Hon. Bourke Cochrane, of New York, as their principal speaker for Monday night's demonstration. Their meeting wa* held in the Grand opera house. It was preceded by a parade exceeding in numbers and fully equaling in enthusiam that of their republican brethren. In the republican procession it was estimated that about 6,000 men marched, while the figure of the democratic parade is placed at about 8,000. For three hours the main streets were jammed with the rival crowds, who cheered and hallooed and waved hats, banners and handkerchiefs until the town seemed all aroar. The best of good humor everywhere prevailed and there was not the slightest disturbance at any point.
