Prayer was offered, however, after which Ostrander spoke for three or four minutes in a rambling manner, claiming his innocence, saying that he had not had a fair trial, and denouncing the people of the county for hanging him. He was frequently profane and obscene. End ng with an oath, he wudt ‘’But as for hanging me. you can du it. Life is of no good tome.” Before the execution Ustrande: told his spiritual adviser he did not forgive his relatives, and would not ask God to forgive him.

President Arthur remained at Fort Washakie one day, and held a council with the head men of the Arapahoe and Shoshone tribes of Indians. Propositions were made to the Indians looking to a complete change in their method of lite, ami a transfer of their control from the Interior to the War IWuiartinent A correspondent of the Chicago Trib tint, who witnessed th s most notab e council, telegraphs as follows: ‘Next to the President sat the great Chief of the Snakes. Washakie, and near by Black Coal, of the Arapahoe;-. The Secretary of War reclined on a cushion, from an ambulance, a silent l>ut interested spectator. Gen. Sheridan flitted al.out as one thoroughly accustomed to such scenes. Bong bet ore the time of convening the dusky horde peered curiously at the powerful visitor, the squaws making many gestures of approbation of his stalwart form. When all was readv Chief Washakie lit the peace-pipe and handed it to the I'residenu The latter drew a short whiff and passed the pine over to Chief Black Coal. After the leatlers had smoked to each other s eternal we f ire Washakie spoke. He assured the Great Father of bis perpetual friendship of his lo g-buried hatchci, and the industry of his tribe. He extended to his pale-face visi ors the hospitality of the reservation, with its abundance of fish and game. The startling Indian | oiicy of Gen. bheridan was then presented to the ir be. He proposed to do away with all reserx ations as uch, and Ind an agencies and agents In the place of the lands thus taken th*‘< level nment would issue bonds bearing in* erest the same as anv other Government Tomis These bonds would be issued in piyment for all property lost, and the m erest pant semi-annually. Under this act the Indians would be obi ged to take up home teads and live on the interest of the bonds, and the product of the farms thus secured. Ihe interest on the bonds would be able at certain convenient forts by United States officials, in the same way as the army is paid. This would effectually release the Indians from the control of the Interior Department and place them absolutely at the mercy of the Department of War. T here would be no agen ies, but the citizens would beprotected by existing lines of torts. Gen. Sheridan claimed tha. nearly all the Indian troubles of the last few years have arisen thro »gh the corrupt on of Indian agents. Under his method the Indians would held responsible as citizens, and would be liable to both civil and military law in the district in which they reside. He claimed that the Gov rnment would bo benefited bv the issuance of bonds, and the Indians would secure ail that is due them under the present system. In fact, ths latter would receive more than they do now, as so much is absorbed in passing through different hands. ” Running-Bird, a Cherokee Indian, was hanged at Talequah, I- T., by the authorities of his nation for the murder of a fellow-brave.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.Consolidation of Pension Districts. The consolidation of the pension districts of Indiana, from the Third to the Twelfth, inclusive, was formally effected last week, under the direction of E. G. Rathbone, the special examiner of the Pension Departinent. Ute Consolidation is made for the purpose of simplifying add expediting the work of examining claims. Heretofore the examiners have been working under the direction of the dffleers at Washington. There are about 300 men employed in the service, and business has accumulated until each examiner has from forty to seventy-five claims on his hands for investigation. It was found that thorough discipline of the force of men, as well as the expediting of the work, required a systerri df district supervision, and the reorganization of the service is, therefore, being made. The new system, by the appointment of supervising examiners for the consolidated districts, will increase the number of men in the service, but there will not be many changes. The Indiana district will comprise all the territory in this State, with the exception of eighteen of the northern counties, namely: Adams, Wells, Blackforn, Allen, Noble, Whitley, Dekalb, Steuben, LaGrange, Elkhart, Kosciusko, Fulton, St. Joseph, Starke, LaPorte, Porter and Lake. The northwestern half of these counties will be included in the Chicago district, and the northeastern half in the Cleveland district Mr D. T. Whitly has been appointed the supervising examiner of the Indianapolis district His duties will consist in apportioning the work of examination, and Le will have the general supervision of all the examiners in his division. Under the consolidation the examiners in the different districts of this division arc: Third district—Charles W. Brown, of Logansport Fourth—C. H. Stibolt, Crawfordsville. Fifth—George H. Eells, Muncie. Sixth—F. W. Partridge, Rushville. Seventh—J. H. Carr and John N. Baughman, Indianapolis. Eighth—S. J. Couch and H. C. Patterson, Greencastle. Ninth—C. E. Jenkins, Columbus. Twelfth—J. H. Jolly, Vincennes. There are now several hundred claims on file from applicants in this State for pensions, and the work of examining them will be expedited under the new system. The work is largely behind, but the department claim that they will have most of it disposed of in a short time. Besides the employment of some additional force, very few changes will be made in the service.

Frank Edwards, while crossing a railroad bridge near Centerville, was struck by a train and instantly killed. Frank W. Gregory, late city editor of the Lafayette Journal, has accepted a position on the Aberdeen (Dakota) Tribune. It is said that Berrien county, Michigan, is furnishing a good many woodchuck scalps for St. Joseph and La Porte counties.

At Lafayette, Milton Haynes has entered suit against Drs. Moses and Joseph Baker, of Stockwell, for 810,000 damages, alleging malpractice in setting his broken limb. John Ackermann, of Indianapolis, whom the Coroner once officially pronounced dead, was fined last week as a wife-whipper, the Mayor sending him down for ten days, and adding 825 and costa Dr. J. M. Partridge, of South Bend, has received notice from the Secretary of the American Public Health Association of his appointment as Chairman of the Committee on Diseases of Cattle.

Lawrence Hock, of North Vernon, dragged a loaded shotgun out of his wagon, muzzle ' foremost, the result being a hole two inches I in diameter in Hock’s breast, and the tear- ' ing of his shoulder. He may live. Ephraim Brick, who lives near South Bend, while plowing in his field a few days ago, turned up twenty-four addersnake eggs, three or four of which, when broken open, revealed snakes about four inches long. Robert Archibald, a former old resident of Lafayette, was assisting a neighbor twelve miles from the city in threshing wheat, and was pulled into the machinery. His arm was terribly lacerated and torn from the socket. He suffered intense agony and died next morning. A young man by the name of Sneider, while working with a threshing machine near Weisburg, Dearborn county, on ; Wednesday, in attempting to walk over the j machine slipped, and one foot was caught by the rapidly-revolving cylinder, mangling 1 it in a terrible manner. The City National Bank of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, did not open its doors Saturday. De Witt Fitch is President, and the capital SIOO,OOO. It is said that the County Treasurer withdrew a considerable amount Friday, and that the First National of Indianapolis demanded 810,000 borrowed on calk Jacob Hahn, of Indianapolis, returned home in a drunken condition, and, his wife and mother objecting to his antics, he attempted to kill them both. He fired five ; shots without damage, save to the furniture. They caused his arrest for attempted murder, and he has been held for Grand Jury i action. The Horton Manufacturing Company, of Jamestown, N. Y., has filed suit in the Federal Court against the Horton Manufacturing Company, of Fort Wayne, to restrain defendants from operating under that name, and from manufacturing certain articles, the right to which, as claimed, lies exclusively with plaintiffs. In Perry township, Allen county, eight miles north of Fort Wayne, a portable engine. used tc drive a threshing machine, exploded with a loud report, scattering parts of the machinery a distance of fifty yards.

A Shelbyville correspondent writes:—At a point about three-quarters of a mile this side of Acton, between four and five o’clock Friday evening, a man jumped out of the bushes along the track of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago railroad and laid his head across the rail, about two car lengths ahead of express train No. 4, going east. The engineer and fireman both saw the man, but too late to save him, and although the steam was shut off, the reverse bars thrown back and the air brakes put on, it had no effect in so short a distance, and i when the train stopped and parties went back the body was found lying along the ! track with the whole top part of the head I above the eyes cut off. The remains were taken back to Acton, where they were identified as those of A. H. Plymate, aged about eighty-two years. Mr. Plymate has a son living in Acton, to whose house he was taken. Hon. Will Cumback, the retired collector of the old Fourth district of Indiana, wai presented with a fine gold watch and chain by the government officers of the district last week. Almost all of his former subor- > dinates were congregated in the office by I 5:30 p. m., much to his mystification, and at | that time the chief deputy under the former icguuv, — tasteful and neat address in behalf of the ! officers, and handed Colonel Cumback the watch, which is one of the finest in the i American market. The entire outfit, watch and chain, is valued at $299, and is a superb piece of workmanship. The presentation I speech was responded to by the Governor in a short and eloquent manner. He was visible affected by the token of love and esteem of the men whom he had been associated with in his official capacity, and expressed eimself as prizing above all the spirit of friendship and esteem which prompted the gift An Indianapolis correspondent writes: Suits has been brought against a number of real estate owners to recover the wifely interest of Mrs. Cornelia E. Little, an insane person, in property sold by her late husband, Matthew Little, who, during the sis- ; ties and until his death, in 1862, was a leading speculator of this city and at one time held a large landed interest. Mrs. Little went insane from religious excitement in 1837, and 27 years have been spent in an asylum. She is still living, and at present under the guardianship of William C. Smock, by whom she is represented in the claim. Her interest is roughly estimated at SIOO,OOO, and it affects a good many lots, particularly in the east end of the city, rhe suits filed to-day are of two kinds: first, those covering conveyances made by Little after his wife became insane, and lastly those made by him after her removal to the asylum. A number of the railroad companies are made defendants. The. plaintiff s demand excites no particular comment, as it was anticipated, and has been under discussion for several months. Mr Little made conveyances, as he claimed, under an old law, which gave the husband certain rights over an insane w’ife, conditioned that he filed bond amply sufficient to cover her j interests. This, it is claimed, he neglected to do in every instance. A number of additional suits are yet to be filed, and a test case will soon be argued upon for an appeal to the Supreme Court.

INDIANA POSTOFPKJCS. Oasslflcatlon of Presidential —Ausug Adjustment <#* Salaries. [Washington Cor. Indianap6’Hs Journal.J The postoffices of the United State* are divided into four classes, the first three being called Presidential offices, from the fact that the appointments of tile postmasters is made by the President. To enable an office to rissto this dignity it is only necessary that the receipts be sufficient to warrant the payment of an annual salary amounting to at least #I,OOO. In the fonrth-eiass are included the greater proportion of offices, those in which the salary allowed is less than SI,OOO, and the postmaster is appointed by the Postmaster General. There are in Indiana 1,789 postoffices of all grades, an increase during the past fiscal year of fifty-six offices. Within the past nine years there have been established in the State of Indiana alone 295 postoffices, which affords a pretty good illustration of the growth of the postal service and the development of the country. The Presidential postoffices of Indiana number eighty-seven. In the firstclass are included all offices where the salary is at least $3,000; in the secondclass the pay runs from $2,000 to ?3.000. and the third-class from SI,OOO to $2.000. Indiana has five offices of the firstclass — Indianapolis, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Lafayette and Terre Haute. In the second class there are twenty oifices, an increase in this grade of two, the fortunate promotion being Goshen and Marion; the third class numbers sixty-two. There have been several promotions to the Presidential grade since the last adjustment. They are as follows: Fowler, $1,200; Hartford City, $1,100; North Manchester, $1,300; North Vernon, $1,200, and Winamac, $l,lOO. The largest single increase in these offices after reaching the Presidential rank was in the case of North Manchester, which records a gain of ' M The largest single is in the case of South Bend, where S6OO is reported. Then follows Goshen with SSOO, and Marion, with S3OO. Both Decatur and Greensburg secure an adi vance of S2OO. The only reduction of I salary is at Notre Dame, which loses SIOO. , The following statement shows the standing of the Presidential offices in ; Indiana, together with the salary allowed, as based upon the receipts of the office: Office.

Perhaps the most acceptable theory to-day is the one wh ch places the ori- , gin of the trouble in the inner ear. The ear consists of three parts: the outer of these runs in as far as the drum; the middle part is inside of the drum, and contains the chain of ear-bones; while ' the inner ear is a complicated affair, i contaning theessential organ cf hearing. As far as we aie concerned, the inner i eir is a membranous big filled with ' flnid, and situated in the solid bone, i From the back part of this bag run out i three semicircular tnl es communicating ' at both ends w t'l the bag or vestibule, i These run in thee different planes, and 1 are lined with hair-like, nerve-filaments, I which are so much more abundant and > more sensitive at the anterior part of ’ the tulies. The tubes are fill.d with i liquid in which float little calcareous 1 particles, the otoliths. The tubes ai e , known as the semicircular canals. It was found difficult to »ee what conneci tion with the sense of hearing th. so , canals eould possibly have, and some tune ago it was noticed that injuries to ’ i these impaired the sense of bearing in s no way. but caused most curious effects in the loss of equilibrium.
