Himumfir UntfinJ. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. 1877.

Hon. George H. Peudlet hi. of Ohio, strikes the popular chord when he says: “Labor should be free, untraniniel ed, left to itself. Its contracts should be speedily enforced. Irs injuries should be speedily redressed. The burdens imposed upon it should be 'nade as light as possible. The advantages of education furnished by the State should be made easy to all Its children. An enlightened public opinion should award honor to its highest self-respect and honorable self-assertion. Under these conditions it can best fight the hard disadvantages of the daily struggle for the daily bread. If government shall undertake its special care and management, its fostering and protection securing to it fair wages and to capital fair returns, it must also impose duties and obligations, ami exact their performance. If government shall undertake to establish a partnership between capital and labor, and to distribute the profits according to law,or to establish special b'ards of arbitraion to which labor must submit its demands for the future, as well as its 'complaints for the past, it requires no prophet to foresee that labor will be enveloped in meshes through which capital will easily escape; capital will make the laws; capital will interpret them; capital will select the arbitra tors; capital will enforce their award. If any interest should dread a parental government; if any interest -hould dread “entangling alliances” and demand a fair field, it is lab. I 1 say this with an anxiety greater than I care to express to-night, that labor should be relieved of its care ami suffering; with a heart touched to the quick by the misery ami wretchedness, the weary life, the breaking human hearts which I see around me, and the heroic fortitude with which men and women ami children encounter them. If these weary ones—some struggling for bread alone s one straining every Itching nerve Tor a higher moral and mental life ••ould be lifted up, and every obstacle to their progress could be removed; If every human being could be elevated and made to take his proper station as man above forms, above property, above capital, I would welcome the means whatever ’hey might might be J-revolution-in government, revolution in society, the subversion of every cherished idol—and thank < O 1 that I had lived to see them successfully employed. This question has been brought info special prominence just now by tl.e strikes atpl subsequeiitriots. No man approves, every right, thinking man condemns and deprecates lawless violence toward person and property, and believes it should be restrained and punished by the strong arm of the L'aw. Few believe that strikes accomplish any immediate good. They agree with the platform of the workingmen’s party adopted lit Cincinnati,

Mint they are the fruitless effort of workingmen to secure their economical emancipation by guerrilla warfare against individual employers. Yet let us not deceive ourselves or Jo wrong to others. Strikes are the loud mutSerings, the open nets which sufferings produce, r Strikes are the protest which scant food and scant clothing ;ind poor homes, make against greater reduction. Strikes are the voice of discontent, and discontent, restless as it is for a long time, aye, as long as possible, bears “the ills we have.” Happy men do not strike. The smiling faces of well fed wife and children do not permit men to strike There were bad men, and wicked men, and ill-advised men, who wiihilly did wrong and committed crime, but at the bottom of this great upheaval there was a cause, ami that cause was the jinability of willing, honest, industrious meh to obtain work and earn wagen for wife and children. Wages were low, men were xorking on short time; wages were Long unpaid, families were buying on credit at the retail shops. Wages v. ere to bo reduced still lower, and no prospect of prompter payment. You might as well try to check the thunder in the sky, as to suppress she wail of human anguish extorted by these conditions. Until the cause shall he r • moved, strikes- will be made and violence and crime will ensue.”

OLD SETTLERS’ REUNION.

On last Saturday, September Ist t m Third re-union of tha Old Settlers >f Jasper and Newton counties was mid at the usual place—the grove bo--1 mgiiig to Mr. Jared Benjamin, of J isper county—which is noted as nice having been the council-ground 4 the Pottawattmies. one of the tribes then inbabitijig that portion of he country between the Lakes and tle Ohio. The attendance was unu-

ually large, the number being variously estimated at from twelve to eighteen hundred. The day was propitious, with a clear sky and a cool, b acing atmosphere. The meeting was called to order by the President the former meeting, and it being in place to make choice of new officers, the Hon. Thomas R. Barker was chosen President, J. McCarthy. Secretary. and Rev. Lemuel Shortridge, Chaplain, These preliminaries being disposed of and the organization perfected, the Chaplaiu addressed the Throne of Grace, expressing gratitude for the past, and invoking the Lrivine favor on the future. The ' m eting then adjourned to meet again at o’clock, p. m, The interim was occupied with cor- j dal greetings, hearty welcomes and j->you6 feasting. Every countenance beamed with cheerfulness. As they; reviewed the events of their early

• days, the old settlers appeared rejuvenated. These scenes of pleasure were intieh enhanced by the presence of 4nntiy of Jasper and Newton's i bright sons and fair daughters. As I they collected in groups it was pleasir g to behold lhe venerable fathers ami aged mothers, surrounded by j their sturdy sons ami charming daughj ter, alike participating in the joyousi uc*s of the occasion. / At Intervals delightfid strains of music were dis- ' coursed by the Rensselaer Band. Mihgling with the crowd, we noticed : several of our distinguished citizens j who always honor us with their piceonce on these occasions. Among these were Judge E. P. Hammond, . Hon. I». S. Dwiggins, Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Loughridge. Th--' time for resuming the exercises having arrived, the meeting was milled to order by the President, and the roll of Old Settlers, as prepared by the former Secretary was culled ami responded to by nearly all. The following Is the list with a fewadlitional names; 1532. —Aaron Lyons. 1834. —David Nowles. 1835. —Jackson Phegley, Mrs. Malinda Spitler, J. T.

Sayers, John Makeover. i The above is a iist of old settlers who came to the counties during their early settlement and at the times indicated by the dates. The death of Lydia Hammond was reported. This is the only death among our old settlers that is known to have occurred during the past year. The Committee of Arrangement were fortunate in their choice of speakers. The first introduced was Rev. W. M. Jackson, of Warsaw. Ind. ! He was fully in sympathy with his hearers, being the son of one cf the ; oldest pioneers of the northwest, and j having himself experienced many of the privations ar d sufferings incident to pioneer life. While narrrting the difliculties overcome, and the sufferings endured, he touchingly alluded to the fact that all Indians are not savages, and that to their-hospitality : his father’s family were indebted for the food that saved them from starvuI tion. ! He contrasted the past with the preset t, and earnestly and pathetically appealed to the younger portion of his audience to place a proper vali ue upon the religious, civil and edu- • cational advantages they now enjoyj ed which he declared to be the bequest of those who, to secure them, had encountered perils, trials and

privations. Rev. Mr. Reed, of Plymouth, Indiana was the next speaker introduced His effort on this occasion was umas-ter-pi ‘( e of oratory, and was replete with eloquence of diction, and »übli. i mity of thought. It indicated amind ■ clear, full,stately ami profound, which,like the eye of the undazzled eagle seemed fixed upon the truth; and as the-eagle cleaves the air, he soared and never paused till the height was won. The eager and fixed attention of the largo assembly evinced the fullest appreciation on their part. i Mr. John Jenkins of Newton county made the concluding speech. He ' fully corroborated the statements of ' his friend. Rev. Mr. Jackson, in refer- ; enee to the privations and i of those who first settled in this part of the country. His familiar knowledge of the history of the setUement of the North-west, enabled him to intersperse his speech with many in- ; teresting incidents, among which was the almost incredible journey which • his mother performed on foot, when moving from Ohio to this part of the country. It is one of the many remarkable instances of womanly de-

I votioii Mid fortitude, and leads us with the poet io declare: ; “The mothers of our Forest Land, Their bosoms pillowed men, : And proud were they bysoch to stand, ; In hammock, forijor glen.” The speaker wos ambitious to be 1 considered the oldest pioneer present, , but his friend Jackson had played a ’ yaukee trick on him getting into the ! world two or three years ahead of j him; and he was obliged to relinquish ; the elabr», Ixit without blame, as he . declared, on his part. ■ It was decid' d by the committee of l amingements, that the meeting for : the ensTtiirg yvnr should Im- held tt the j same place and rm rhe first Saturday I of September next, 1878, to which 1 time tlie layering was adjourned.

Prepare for the Fair 1 It will commence one week from next Tuesday, Willey & Sigler have now on hand a large assortment of Staple and Fancy Yarn. Call and examine quality and prices. The partnership between Yeoman & Phillips, in the practice of law has been dissolved. Mr. Yeoman has removed his office to a room adjoining Leopold’s grocery. Willey & Sigler’s is the place to buy your money’s worth. Give them a call. One of our White county friends, Newt. Imes, Is in Rensselaer with his family, and in all probability will engage in business at this point. Newt, at one ttme made his home here, is well acquainted with the people, wile awake, energetic, enterprising and industrious and we hope will conclude to remain wtth us.

We take pleasure in informing our patrons that We are now prepared to meet the wants of our trade with as large and well assorted a stock of Goods as was ever opened out in this market, and we trust you will examine our goods and prices before buying. Willey & Sigler. One week from next Tuesday the Fair of the Jasper County Agricultural and Mechanical Association will open out at their grounds, near Rens selaer, and continue four days. From the preparations making over this and adjoining counties we have no no doubt it will prove, as it should, a complete success. After having a vacation of two months visiting friends in the vicinity of Indianapolis, Ind., Miss Mary E, Mann is once more to be found at Willey & Sigler’s with a mammoth New Stock of Millinery Goods, which she is selling at the lowest possible prices. Ladies, call and examine her nice stock of Hats & Bonnets before buying. There were certain sensational rumors with a romantic twang floating around the fair ground Wednesday afternoon, and on investigation we learned that Mr. Hugh Hardy, of Monticello, had eloped with a Benton county young lady whose name we could not learn. It was the old story, “cruel parents,” chance meeting, three o’clock train, Michigan, amen !—Remington Times. Hugh gave u- hearty shake of the hand a few moments before taking his departure, but nary time informed us of what was in contemplation.

A Melancholy Blight.

The ease of Miss Ida V. Branch, of Smithfield, Isle of Wight county, Virginia, was a very touching and melancholy one. She was twenty-three years of age and a girl of extraordinary beauty and good culture. She was engaged to marry a young neighboring farmer, with the consent of both sets of parents, and a bright future seemed in store for her. But there came u blight over her life and hopes before the day set for her nuptials. In January last the appearance of Miss Branch changed very perceptibly. Her watchful father become suspicious that she had become improperly intimate with her betrothed. He charged her bluntly with this impropriety. She indignantly denied it, but felt greatly distressed at having aroused such suspicions. The blight was coming upon her. The suspicions among the loved.ones at home grew stronger, and Miss Branch was finally sent away from home to her sisters. Her condition was such that her father deemed a medical examination necessary. The examining physician confirmed the dark suspicions which hung like a cloud over the family. The girl protested her innocence despite the verdict of the doctor.— There might be a mistake. Doctors sometimes disagree. Another physician of skill was, called. The examination revealed the presence of an ovarian tumor. It was ahnostcertain death, but the poor girl rejoiced at. it. She began to live again in the esteem of her friends, The tumor grew so rapidly, that an operation was found necessary and she was removed to a Baltimore hospital. She consented to it as a last hope, and requested that if she died a post mortem examination might be made in order to establish her purity and innocence. The tumor weighing forty-four pounds was removed, and the poor girl died in less than twenty-four hours.

The Captured Outlaw for whnm the Rewards Aggregate $20,000.

(Dallas (Texas) Herald.] His father was a preacher who lived in southwest Texas. As a boy he was remarkably quiet, and gave no evidence of the terrible passions which, in after life, made him thirst for bKod. When almost sixteen years of age, and while the state was’finder military rule, a darkey on his father’s place provoked him, and he shot him. For this he was arrested and placed under guard of some soldiers who started to Huntsville with him. As he was onlv a boy they did not watch him very closely, and at night lay down to sleep. Hardin arose in the night and killed every one of them. This outlawed him. His next act was the murdfer of Jack Helm, out of which grew the Sutton and Taylor troubles, Hardin siding with the Taylors. His father and brother got up and were taken out and hung in western Texas. From this time on he was a desperado of the worst order. Missouri and Kansas became the field of operation, and before he left them he added many more to the d?ath list. In those states lhere are at present large rewards offered for him. From there lie cuine back to Texas, and kept the border in a state of terrorism. His last murder was the killing of Webb, the deputy sheriff of Brown county’ at Comanche. It is estimated that in various sections of the ceuntry there are over twenty thousand dollars of rewards offered. Hardin is a young man about twenty-seven or twentyeight years of age, five feet eight inches and one-half in height, weighs one hundred and fifty pounds, has flaxen hair, blue eyes, and not an unpleasing countenance.

The Hairy Child of a Hoosier.

Steuben (Ind.) Republican. We must say that the child,. Gracie Gilbert, the Little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Giles Gilbert, wbo residie sixteen l miles-east ©f Angola, in north-west township, Wflliams county, ©hi ©, is lire greatest living curiosity we have

everseen. The child is about eighteen months of age, finely formed, bright, sprightly and healthy, and almost entirely covered with hair. The hair on its head is some twelve or fifteen inches in length, and is very heavy. Its whiskers are three or font inches in length. On its oack, body, arms and legs is a thick, heavy, but fin*.-, silky growth of hair, covering almost its entire body, and moreover, no humbug. Barnum, with all his grand splurges and big blowing as to the curiosities and humbugs he exhibits, never has had a real, genuine actual ity. , a living curiosity, humunor otherwise, that surpassed this pretty little child, Grace Gilbert.

A Pretty Dress.

[Clicago Tribune New York Letter.] A product of Havana is a pineapple gauze made solely from the fibres of that delicious fruit. This fabric can with great difficulty be procured pure, though there are numerous imi* tations—some very pretty. The one I refer to is of that delicate tint, a little deeper end richer than cream; it might be called the shadow of fawn or wood color. This is made over a glistening silk of the same shade, and is trimmed with knife plaitings and ribbon loops. A jabot of fine plisses up the front Is further ornamented by ribbon loops of the same tint.
