IjLnd for Sale*—James R Bo o. _ < Jack Frost.—Jack Frost was on the . rampage Monday night, playing sad hav- , cc with early vegetables, fruit etc , 1 call the attention of all dcsi- J ring a pleasant and profitable employtnent to the advertisement in this paper ( headed “81500 per year." Something New.—McLean and Brothers have secured the services ofan ex- 1 perienced cutter, and are now prepared to do first class work in all branches of j Merchant Tailoring. 1 I M ill < Almost a Serious Accident.—On Monday last, Capt. E. Daily, while exam- ] ining a revolver in the Fancy store of C. ( Crabbs, accidentally discharged one of ; the cylinders, the ball passing through , the window, wounding a horse in the lore , leg, and in its flight passing uncomforta- , bly near several of the passers by. The horse had an ugly looking flesh wound, but, wo think, was not seriously injured. Personal.—Joseph 11. Jones, who Las lately taken charge of the Jay county 1 Republican, has been in town during 1 the week, looking after the interests of j 1 his paper in the way of subscribers. As : it is the only paper in this senatorial dis- 1 1 irict in the interest of the Republican I party, he aspires to make it the organ the district. Aside from po!i^a*^ vc wish him success. Gen. court during an ,] holding wakes t.l e faithful, with an eye to securing the Republican vote of this county (or himself at the Congressional Convention, called to meet in Wabash on the first day of August next. Common Pleas Court —ln con«e quence of Judge Borden being suddenly called away from Fort Wayne, on matters of urgent importance, no business was transacted until Tuesday afternoon when W W. Carson Esq, en tered his appearance as Judge pro tern. Consequently, at present writing, Wednesday night, very little business has been completed, though there is considerable under way. We therefore dr fer onr Court items until next week, when they will be Outlined in full. Special Notice.—ln onr special col umns and to which tha attention of cur ■readers is asked, will be found notices of the most reliable and standard Jew Eng l«nd Medical preparations, known as Hun newell's Universal Cough Remedy —Hun r,ewell's Tolu Anodyne—and Hunnewell's Eclectic Tills, They will be notice ! from month to month, and to th? invalid will i be found truly important, and from Physicians is invited the greatest freedom of correspondence and enquiry for Formulas or any explanation touching purely officinal preparations—they are sold by all dealers in medicine. Candidate for Representative.— We learn from tl.e Jay County RepuUi can, that “Maj. Wm. H. Vance, late of the 47th Indians, is the Union candidate lor Representative in the State Legisla lure from Adams county.” Go from home to learn tie news is an old saying, and in this instance applicable to the present case. Where, when, or by whom the nomination was made wo have yet to learn, Another fact we have lesrned that the Major is already stumping the county, and putting the announcement of I the Republican and the action of the Maj 1 together, there is little doubt but there has been a midnight meeting of the Loy-, al League, recently, some place in the county. The Republican thus eulogizes the Major: “The unconquerable Unionists of Ad -, ams County could not have selected a stronger or more acceptable candidate; under his leadership they will make a gallant fight next fall. Having fought; the enemies of a free Government so! bravely and successfully on the battle; field, we are glad to learn and proud to announce that he has entered the lists against its more insidious foes.” The last pitch bsitle with the Democracy that we have beard of the Major being engaged in, was in Jefferson township, last spring, and we are glad to learn he ft in Cite fists again, lot we admire pluck. Up and at 'em again Major.

Internal Revenue —ln a late number we spoke-of matters connected with the assessment of the Internal Ravi, two, since which we have received the decisions made by the Treasury Department, covering exemptions and deductions, which will be found on the outside of this issue. By refering to the article it will be seen that farmers produce raised and consumed on the farm for 1860, will beex mpf.— Wo are not advised whether the rule will apply to the present assessment or not. The only way to test the matter w>l! be for seme of our farmers to file their appeal ten days prior to the visit of the Distiict assessor, who will then act upon the matler. The People.—This is the title of a new literary paper just started in New York, of which we have received the first number. It is published in quarto form, and about the same size as the Mercfe'yand Ledger. Judging from the initial number it will prove, we think, a valuable addition to the newspaper literature of the country, and will become deservedly popu’ar with the mass who encourage all laudable efforts of the kind. Terms of subscription, $2 50 a year, with the usual deductions to clubs. Address, PEOPLE PUBLISHING CO , No. 5. Frankfort St., N. Y.

ijffCommon Pleas Court has been session this week—speaking members of the ber, a wag Bavs the only ones of no.e McLean’s and I-rans legal fraternit^X^ col , rs9 . I— I I 1 Johnson and the Republicans. Mr. Howe said no President was ever under greater obligati >ns to a party that elected him than the present executive. lie was made a candidate by a partv against which lie had b en opposed [ all his life, and ought above; all other I Presidents to be tolerant on opinions disI rering from his own Wh -n the war broke out he was made a Brigadier Gen- ! era) for fidelity to the Union. He wis sent to Nashville. He stayed there and did his duty; and, grateful for that duty done, we said to him, because he had been faithful over a few things, we wo'tld make him ruler over many, and we did make him Vice President of the United States, commended to us, as I said before, by the single fact that he had been i loyal in the beginning of th» struggle, and had been faithful to our trust. It so happened that when he had been made Vice President, a terrible disaster overcame the country, and he became President of the United Slates. The fact was then developed that there 'Was a difference of opinion upon some points of policy he 1 tween the President and the great body of that party which had been instrurren-' tai in making him President, upon ques-, tions which we thought, and which 1. for one, know are vital and fundamental, if there are any vital and fundamental questions in national politics. He found that he was in harmony with those who opposed his election, and at variance, with those who had given him the election.” The above statement of Senator Howe ! is very important to President Johnson. Tnough made by an enemy to accuse and ; repioach, it fully vindicates President I Johnson; indeed, it shows that be could j i not but pursue the course he has, without! J being a hypocrite, false to his conscience ■ and his past life. It admits: 1. That President Johnson, in his political principles, had always been opI posed to the Republican party. 2. That he was not nominated and ; j elected by the Republicans with any view : to, or promise by him of change in his ■ political creed, but simply because he, i like the great body of the Democrats, went (or maintaining the Union by war, when the dominant perty refused to allow , the use of any other mnje. 3. That the President, now that the ' war has ceased and civil administration I is devolved upon him, is simply acting 1 upon his known political pfnciples which always were antagonistic to those of the Republican party. \Vo hope to hear no more of Johnson's treachery.—lndianapolis Herald, Massacre .by tbelndians at Fort Goodwin. ; San Francisco, May 6.—A special messenger arrived yesterday at Los An- ] gelos, bringing a dispatch from the com- i manderof Fort Grant to General Mason, announcing that Fort Goodwin, in Arizo- ’ na. had been taken by two thousand In- , 1 dians, and the garrison, numbering one , I hundred and seventy-four men massacred I All were killui except one, and the fort , burned. The man who escaped was out , hunting at the time, and witnessed the , commotion from a distance. He saw the , ; fort burning, and heard the firing of guns ( ! during the fight, which lasted several , 1 hours. It is supposed the Indians gained admission to the fort under the pretext of j entering into a treaty of peace, which , Gen ral Mason bad instructed the commander of the fort to make. It is stated that within a month after i J the ooening of the New York Inebriate , Asylnm, over 1,500 applications were r made by wealthy parents for the admis- < sion of their daughters, who had contrac- 1 1 ted intemperate habits from the use of f liquors at fashionable parties.

'Lr; Mr. Seward prepares His Speeches. ; There is, certainly, a spice of truth in ' the assertion that Mr. Seward's speech-es-are composed, an 1 frequently put in I type, before they are delivered; but the 1 reason for doing so, and the manner of doing it, are generally misunderstood. I lie is somewh it fastidious as to his - style, and dislikes to be incorrectly reI ported, but yet we doubt if Mr. Seward ’ ever wrote a speech in his life. For the ■ purpose, however, of avoiding errors, ! and more particularly to guard against j being charged with saying things which ,I he did not say, it is his habit to rehearse ; his speeches before they are made in I public. is usually done m a priII vate room, the speaker walking back . I and forth, or sitting down, at pleasure, ! while some friend, or a professional rei porter writes down his words as he i speaks. The manuscript is then given ,i to tha printer, and, if time allows, the speech is read and corrected by I Mr. Seward before it is given to the ’ I world.
