How It Was Done!

After the almost* super-human efforts of McCoy and others to raise the fllty thou sard dollars necessary to build the section of Railroad between Bradford and Rensselaer, there still lacked about five thousand dollars, when it was proposed to make one final appeal to the people al a public meeting, and in accordance with this proposition, through the i-ouetesy of Judge Hammond—the Circuit Court being then in session—the court room was obtained on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 23d in st., where a meeting was called for a last pull. His Honor, Judge Hammond was called to the chair. Col. Yeoman, the contractor, was introduced to tl> null ie nee and made a strong appeal to the paople to come up and get out of the mud! Mr. Lee, the President of the road, then made a thrilling twen-ty-minute speech which seemed to i each the conscience and the pockets er his rapt listeners. McCoy then introduced Norman Warner with a song that apparently sprung into existence for the occasion, which was i-ung to that soul-stirring air—“ John Brown”—and everybody seemed determined to “Help the Narrow Gunge Along.” Having arrived at the time to convene court, the meeting adjourned till evening. In the evening th% meeting again convened, Th. Boroughs in the chair. The proceedings commenced with ringing, the audience rising :

REFORMATION HYMN.

Al.: John Brown’s Body,” &c. Respectfully dedicated to A. McCoy, Esq., a Director of the Indianapolis 7lblphii& Chicago Railroad Company, for the use of his Narrow Gauge Railroad Church. Ho, all,ye good people of this enterprising age! Get out of the mud, and the old-sash ioned stage; Jump aboard the cars, for speed Is all the rage, And the Narrow Gauge is coming on! Chorus. Hip, hip, huirah! the bell is ringing! Hip, hip, hurrah! the bell is ringing! Don’t you hear the people singing “The Narrow Gauge is rolling on!” <!)h nowye honest Grangers who own a little farm, Don’t stand back, for it will never do you harm, Taae the pick and the shovel,and with your mighty arm Come help the Narrow Gauge along. Come all ye Ton per-centers and give your little mite! Get out of the mud and this your sorry plight! Keep along with the age, or get back out of sightl For the Narrow Gauge is coming on. And Twenty-four-pei -centers there is also loom for you; Come down with those stamps and prove what you can do; Don’t stand behind with the shabby stingy crew A«» the Narrow Gagne comes thund’ring on. Hark! all ye good people round the town of Rensselaer, The Narrow Gague is coming—its rumble don’t you hear?— Get out of the way and let the track be clear, For the Nairow Gagne is rolling on. Come join the Reformation, and take its holy vow, To put the ears in motion as Mack has shown us how.— Don’t wait in hesitation but come and do it now,— And the Narrow Gague b rolling on! We’ve waded in the mud full many a dreary day— But thank the Lord that now we can see a better way,— Roll upyour sleeves and work, as well as watch and pray For the Narrow Gague to come along! On all our wet prairies where tall bullrushes grow, The overplus of water shall in straight channels flow, And fat whit? -horned steers on them caper to and fro, When the Narrow Gague comes rolling on! The locomotive’s whistle shall wake the long repose; The wild and savage desert shall blossom as the rose; And many lasting blessings flow freely unto those Who the Narrow Gauge help start along. We’ft kill a flatted, steer and we’ll make a barbecue, We will gather to the feast the faithful, tried and true, Who join the Reformation, both the Gentile and the Jew, When the Narrow Gague eotm a thundering on! When our ears are greeted with the watchword, Train ahoy! We’ll grasp each friendly flipper and shake for very joy, Our hats shall sail above us and we’ll cheer for Alf McCoy As the Narrow Gauge comes rolling on. Echo. Spirited addresses were delivered by President Lee, Contractor Yeoman, Alf. McCoy and Hon. Robert S. Dwiggins. Success crowned the labors of this meeting. The amount required to. build the road was secured and all friendsof the enterprise are happy. Among the notable incidents of the evening was subscriptions by Misses Flo. and Ora Thompson and Mattie McCoy, Mrs. Alfred McCoy and Mrs. Alf. Thompson. The Indianapolis Sentiffel of Wed- ! liesday contains reports from twentyiwo different localities in the State where the hog cholera is making fearful havoc among the swine. Hey Cholera Specific. Mr. N. C, McCullough, of this city, makes use of a reratdy for sickness among his hogs which has always been effectual in relieving them from any disorders to which they have been subject, As is well kpowo. Mr, McCullough has a large farm south of, the city, which Is made up of prairie I and high bottom land, Whcpeytrbls i farm report any ailment among

his swine he at once resorts to this remedy. It is as follows: To three parts of raw linseed oil add one port of turpentine, mix thoroughly and and drench the sick animal with one teactruful. The remedial effect will almost immediately lieoome apparent. Then feed for a few times upon a slop composed of two parts middlings and one part flaxseed. For general treatment of his hogs he sprinkles, plentifully, pulverized copper* « on the feeding ground, ir the beds where the hogs sleep, in the troughs where they drink and in their wallowing places. On Tuesday, the 2d (list. Mr. McCullough's tenant reported that the cholera had broken out among the hogs, several being very sick. Mr. Me. went immediately to the farm to see what should be done. One hog was lying down, unable to getup, and frothing at the mouth. The tenant thought it was a waste of time to stop to doctor that one, but Me. thought differently. He drenebed the porker according to the above formula, and had the satisfaction of seeing it improve front that orinute. He has nev er lost a hog by cholera, although his neighbors around him have frequently been heavy sufferers. He has 50 hogs feeding at this time. They are kept in a small inclosure end are watered from a well. He says they are perfectly healthy now, and since the general treatment be gave them last week they have had better appetites than at any time since he began feeding them.—Anderson Herald.

Commissioners’ Court Proceedings.

In the matter of repairs required on the Saltillo bridge at crossing of the Pinkamink, ou the Rensselaer and Winamac State read, reported by D 8.. Miller Engineer, a contract was entered inßogwith J. P. Dunlap to reconstruct said bridge for the sum of $350 00, the work to be completed on or before the 10th day of December, 1877, and paid for when accepted by the Board. Said Dunlap gave bond in the sum of $250 00 for the faithful performance of the contract with sufficient security to the approval of the Board. The Sheriff was directed to make necessury repairs about the Court House, and to see that the stoves ana pipes were properly secured against fire. The Auditor was directed to have made and erected in his office suita ble boxes, pigecn-holes and shelves for depositing papers, forms, books, &c., for convenience and oroper order. Henry I. Adams, Treasurer of Jasper county, reported an indebtedness of $5079 93, and want of funds to pay tlie same, and recommended that bonds be issued for SSOOO, to be negot at d to raise money to meet and pay said indebtedness; and the Board having considered mid report carefully, find the statement therein contained true, ami that it is necessary to make a loau of SSOOO- Thereupon said Board order that proper blank bonds be procured by the Auditor, that the same may be immediately issued. The Board then proceeded in company with the County Surveyor to inspect the grade on ’he Kankakee at the approach to the Baum bridge, constructed by J. P. Dunlap, the contractor, and finding the work finished agreeably to the conditions of t • contract, accept the same. Daniel B. Miller, Engineer, reports that the total amount of earthwork contained in sa d grade amounts to 31,645 cubic yards, and th • contractor is aJlowed the balance found due him for said material and lubor, and a warrant is ordered to be drawn upon the county treasurer for the sum sl9lO 30 in his favor. Upon finishing the business of settling with the Township Trustees the Board adjourned, and was immsdiately convened in special session by the Auditor to provide means to caneel the present indebtedness of the county, and in compliance with said summons the Board met in Auditor’s office on the evening of October 20th, 1877, and opened court for the transaction of business. On Monday, October 22d, the fol lowing uroceedings were had: In the matter of the petition of Jared Benjamin, ecal for an appropriation of $1950 from Newton township to the I. D. & C.

The Cause of Hard Times, and How They Can Be Prevented.

Hard times could never afflict the American people while the earth yields lo the husbandman her annual pro luctions, if we had a proper financial system. The present and ail former seasons of hard times in the Uni ted States, have been the result of a faistS deceptive and delusive financial system; false in assuming that a paper currency of five times the value of gold, could be redeemed with gold. The present hard times and prostration of business, and forced idleness of the laborer arfe caused by the false deceptive belief that paner money can be made equal in value with gold by contracting it. when it does not possess the same legal value with gold. The gold redemptionists all admit and desire a paper money redeemable in gold and made as good as gold solely on the faith, hope and delusion that the promise of the banks to redeem it in gold, can or will make the paper as good as gold, but they most persistently repudiate and reject giving the paper the same legal character and power of gold, and which is the only thing that can make paper money as g>od as gold. Ihe present national banking is, we think, the best banking system ever yet adopted, and which is nothing but a cunningly devised scheme < y which the bankers live and get rich by getting interest on what they owe, and is a direct fraud tn 1 robbery of laborers, mechanics, farmers and business men, which is accomplished in the following manner: There are about seventeen hundred millions of government bonds, upon which the government pays interest semi-annually, thus placing the lender and the government on an equality, the government receiving the use of the money and the lender receiving the interest for its use which leaves each party equally benefltted according to contract. The banker then gets the national currency in the following manner: Ist. By organizing a corporation called a a bank, and then purchasing say one hundred thousand dollars in government bonds, which he takes and deposits withfthe Treasurerof the United states, who is compelled to keep and take care of the bonds, and pay the interest thereon regularly to the bank, the government all the while being responsible for the safe keeping and return of the bonds. The government then furnishes to the bank ninety per cent, of the par value of the bonds in natitNMlbank notes, printed and all executed ready for circulation, except the signature of the president and cashier of the bank; this without cost or expense to the bank. When these notes are signed by the president and cashier of the bank, they become a promissory note of the bank, payable on demand in greenbacks, so that when they are signed and put in circulation, the bank has an outstanding of ninety thousand dollars of indebtedness due on demand, and the people, through the government, have become security for its redemption or payment, thus increasing the indebtedness or liability of the government ninety per cent., only holding her own bonds, deposited by the bank, as collateral security, and when they are signed and put in circulation, the bank gets tea per cent, interest on what she owes; that is on her ninety thousand in notes which sne owes to the people, she receives uine thousand dollars interest annually from the people who hold her notes, and on which the people through their government, are security for the redemption. So ft will be seen that on the three hundred millions of national banß indebtedness in circulation, the people are paying to these banks annually thirty millions of dollars interest. Under the present law the entire seventeen hundred millions of dollars may be turned into a national bank issue of promises to pay, amountingto fifteen hundred and thirty millions of dollars, npon which the banks will get ten per cent, interest, or one hundred and fif-ty-three million dollars annually.— This shows so clearly the whole design and purpose of the national banks, and the reason they are opposed to the greenbacks, that we feel that the people will stop this grand and cunningly devised scheme of banks to live off the interest of what they owe; and if the indebtedness of any one is fit for a currency or circulating medium, the promises of the government are the best that can be made.—and if the government would loan to the people her promise to pay, and the people pay her the same interest they pay the banks, the interest would pay the entire expenses of the government For there is no le gal way for national bank notes to get iu circulation, except by some one borrowing them from the banks, and placing; a rider of ten per cent, interest thereon to come off the laborers, mechanics, farmers and business men.

THE NEW fell- Wirier STOCK OF DRY.

No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my Stock of Goods FOR THE Fall and Winter trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was trained to the choosing of articles whose DURABILITY and PRICE would recommend them to a community that is anxious to adapt themselves to the circumstances which now surround everybody in the United States. But this did not prevent the purchase of a stock that will compare favorably in point of beauty with anything to be found in this market, while The Standard Juility and Price: of the fabrics must necessarily recommend them in an especial manner to people of judgment, prudence and economizing desires. No special enumeration of the articles comprising this new stock is deemed necessary from the fact that I deal iu all articles usually found in collections of General Merchandise, in inland towns, but it may be well enough to say that Best Dress Goods, Best Readv-Made Clothing Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, Standard Groceries, Etc., arc kept in addition to the assortment es dress fabrics and other dry goods.
