Bmwtdw Ihnftttfl. FRIDAY. AUGUST 31, 1877.

The People’s Bank, of Logansport, has suspended. Brigham Young died on Wednesday last of inflammation of the I owels. John She? man, speaking of the resumption act, says “It can be, aught to be, and will be execute 1.” Anything, aside from the address, written on the face of a postal curd, subjects it to letter postage, Internal Revenue Collector White, nf Terre Haute, is a subject of investigation. The State Savings Bank of Illinois has closed doors with two or three •millions of dollars belonging to depositors unaccounted for. Mr. G. Lowe, who lives near Bradford, White county, is 'the owner bf- a steer which weighs three thousand six hundred pounds. Who can beat it? In White county, a few days ago, a gun in the hands of Philip Mikesell accidentally discharged, the contents catering his wife causing, it is feared, a fatal wound.

An ingenious swindle is being practiced in some parts of the country, by which one dollar bills are made to »eturn a large interest to tin manipulators. A one dollar and a fivv dollar bill, greenback or of some national bank currency, are carelessly torn in two in the middle, and half of the ■one and half of the five are pasted together. Unless closely scrutenjzed they will be apt to be taken for fives. Thus, with six dollars, the swindler will make a profit of four out of the two fives which he manufactures. Gov. Hendricks is enjoying himself in his own quiet and unostentatious way in Europe, as the following extract from a private letter to a gentleman at Indianapolis shows: “This is not so great a city as London, I ut it is more beautiful than you can conceive of. The objects of interest are so numerous that it is a great undertaking to visit them. I think we will go to Germany next week, probably reaching the Rhine at Cologne. Senator Bell and his law partner, Judge Morris, of Fort Wayne, are here, and we find their society very agreeable. lam glad that the railroad strike (which was a startling movement)’has subsided, and that the injury is no greater than it is. I was greatly concerned about it for seveial days. I am sure that it must have give: Gov. Williams great anxiety.

In his Oregon speech Senator Morton said:

In the south they are to-day teaching in every school, academy ami col- ! lege the doctrine of state sovereignty , and state rights—the same doctrine that they taught before the war. It : is taught in every democratic news- | paper.in the south, in every book that ' they publish of a political character, more industriously than ezer before. | It is a part of every young man’s ed- 1 ucation. When the rebellion came on they determined to secede; they in : listed they had the right to withdraw I at pleasure; that they came in volun- j tarily and could go out voluntarily. South Carolina could go out by the same |M - ocess that she. catne in. Virginia could do the same thing That doctrine is being taught in the south to-day. While he was making this speech, Wade Hampton was addressing a crowd of “ex-rebels” in Virginia, and be said: “Let the people of the North remember this: We recognize that the Union is restored; we recognize the Constitution of the United States. And when Isay that I mean the Constitution with all its amendments. We have surrendered in good faith. The Southern States now asltxjor equal laws. Let Maine be put on n par with South Carolina. Regard Lonisana as you do Massachusetts ond i you will frnrf no men in rhe Union ' who will stand by the Constitution of j the United Startles more loyally than the men of tire Soutlk” Mr. Morton did not expect his utterances to be branded with the lie so soon,.and from such a source. Mr. Morton, the demagogue, aiming to strengthen' his party by stirring up sectional hate, is confronted on the moment he appeals torhe passion of his section, and by an honorable, truthful and intelligent representative man of the South, his staremrrrfs are erearly and beyond cavil proven to be untruthful and entitled to no consideration whatever. Morton has had His day—but the days of such base calumniators and partisan tniebiefmakers are fast drawing to a close. They have sown, the wind and the peopie have reaped the whirlwind.— They have grown boasttul and rich with power and by plunder, bnt the people have been oppressed a»d impoverished. “Let us have peace.”

Indoana State Fair.

The lithograph posters for the coming State Fair are neat and attractive. TJte Fair is announced for one week, com September 24th. There will be the usual display in the jyay of an exposition during the fair week- Many exhibitors have expressed themselves willing tQ exhibit for that length of tta>o that could not continue for a longer period. From present indications, the immense exposition building will be- well filled, «tnd make a fine display, especially so aa the destruction by fire last winter, of aoiue of the buildings adjpimng the main balk will necessitate thccrowding other departments into ’.the main building. Every department will be represented as heretofore. Special inducements are offered to exhibitors in the mechanical and art departments, as will be noticed by retiring to rules 2nd uud 11th of the

rules and regulations to be found in the premium list. The Horticultural department will be exhibited on the second floor of the main hall. The State Horticultural Society will make an rkhibiti mot fruits nnd flowers, not as ft competitor but to show what can be done in that fine. They will also hold u meeting for discussion one evening during the fair. There will also be meetings held each evening during the fair waek, by one of the State industrial associations; i. e. Short Horn breedcis, swro*- breeders, wool growers and poultry breeders, the programme of which will be announced hereafter.— The live stock interests continue to increase; the number of stalls and pons already secured by exhibitors insures success in that line, and judging from the office business as connected with the fair, the prospects are of the moat encouraging nature. Considsring that we are favored the present season with the most bountiful crops for manyyeaas past, with peace and plenty, and no political excitement, or “centennial attraction,” we have reason to expect an Old Fashioned State Fair, The Board of Agriculture will leave nothing undone to secure success, and merit the approval of exhibitors and visitors. Premium lists cun be procured of members of the board, the secretaries of agricultural societies in the Stale, or by sending the address to the Secretary of the Board Agriculture.

SECOND REGIMENTAL REUNION.

The Ninth ZZeglment Indiana Infantry LaPokte Ind.,August 17,1877. —The second Reunion of the surviving members.of the Ninth Regiment Indiana Volunteers will be held in the city of Valparaiso, Indiana, Wednesday. September I9th, 1877. All the surviving members of the organization are invited to be present. Newspapers throughout the State are respectfully asked to give notice of this meeting. L. A. Cole. Chairman Committee Arrangements. It that Governor Williams plays a good game of euchre. His first lone hand was played last fall, when he beat the great War Governor the “grandson of his grandfather” and the whole Republican party.

How to Kill a Town.

If you wish, to kill a town,-don’t put up more houses than you are obliged to occupy yourself. If you should have an empty building, and any one wishes to rent it, ask about three times its value. Go abroad for your wares rather than pu. chase them of your own merchants. Take several New York and Chicago papers, but don’t take hour home papAjr, if you do, always manage to be abbut three years behind with your subscription, and when you go to settle with the publisher swear that you paid him for t ie first year in advance but neglected to bring the receipt with you.— Look on every new cornel with a scowl of suspicion particularly if he does not attend your church, or is not of your political faiih. A prompt and close cbservance of these ruleswill ruin any town in two years.—Exchange. Talmage says “a tear is agony in solution.” The pitcher of a base-ball club is the power behind the thrown. Bob Toombs, of Georgia, says that the capitalist who does not respect labor is a fraud, and the laborer who does not respect capital is a fool. A good way to eat green corn is to grate it from the cob. mix with light natter, fry into crisp pancakes and serve with sweet butter for breakfast. The self-raking reaper gathered in twentyithree rattle-snakes, nineteen garter-snakes and one blue racer in cutting a small field of oats in NewEarlisle.

Ben Wade thinks the Ohio republican platform about as sensible as an attempt to arrest the ravages of cancer by the application of a bread-and-uiilk poultice. A Borland (Oregon) Chinaman became the father of an American born son*, and as he danced around, swinging his pigtail and knocking over the opium jars he exclaimedMe Melican man, ail samec! Me heap Washington! Me sewing machine agent! Go ’way! Whoopee!” “What do you know about the prisoner?” arked the judge. “I don’t know nothin’ ’bout him, jedge, only he’s bigoted.” “Bigoted?” said bis honor. ‘‘Yes, s*ah.“ “What do you mean by ‘’bigoted’?” “Well, jedge,” explained the witness, “be knows too much fob one niggah, an’ not ’null foh two.” Pierrepont- “Haw, Adam,l see that the new webellion is quite cwushed—the wiots, you know,” Badeau—“Yes, so I see, myself ” Pierrepont—“Well, now, what pwuzzles me is how the ddeuce they did it without Gwant. Do you know, Adam, I think Gwantmust have twelegwaphed them what to do?”—Courier-Journal.

Base Ball News.—The game played at Goodland on last fciaturday, between the “Clumsies,” of Remington, and the ‘Tigers,” of the first named place, was witnessed by a large number of people who manifested a great interest in the result. The game was warmly contested and resulted in a victory for the “Tigers,” the score being 27 to 18. ”Hank” Purcupile acted as umpire, and was impartial in his decisions. The “Quick Tempers," of this place, and the “Hoosier Boys,” of Remington, played a game for asl 50 ball at the last named place, on last Saturday. The Quick Tempers “scooped” the Hoosier Boys most handsomely. The Quick Tempers complain that the Hoosiers gave them a 75c. ball instead of a $1.50 one as they had promised. The “Clumsies” and “Tigers” will play a match game to-morrow at the grounds of the “Clumsies,” If miles west of Remington. Wm.

To Wool-Growers! Owing to the great efforts that have’been made by the merchants of this vicinity to divert the wool trade from its propei chaftnol the Woolen Mills, I halve been compelled to put in a full and coir pfete assortment of DRY-GOODS, which, in connection with a large stock of my own manufacture, i offer to the wool trade Al Ph that Dsfy Conpetitto! Knowing, ns you most certainly do. th is to tile farmers’ iWtcYelst to encourage home manufactures a’n'if biilTd up’ a home market for all these productions. I tali. t yOti will give me, a inamifacthreK the first call when in the market with you? Wool. My Mill is now running on full time with William 8. Hogeland as foreman and Alex, ander Douglass as assistant, both so well knowi&hat it is unnecessary to say antthihg as to their ability to give satisfaction to the’ custom trade. For the convenience of ms custon ers I have removed my stock to Reynolds'Block, corner room, where you can get the highest price in cash or trade for your wool. * Henry Snyder.
