FRIDAY. NOVEMBER ?, 1877.

The President has designated, by proclamation, Thursday, 29th of the present month, as a day jor National Thanksgiving. Indianapolis Sentinel Telegram: Bradford. Ind., Oct. 31.—Ground was broken to day on the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago narrow gauge railroad. President Lee will push the work rapidly,and Indications are favorable to its early completion There is great rejoicing here and in other towns along the route over the auspicious beginning, Thomas A. Hendricks, a Christian gentleman and statesman, is stigma tized by a neighboring journal, an admirer and supporter of the moral inventor and teacher of the “bloodyshirt” standard of politics, as a “Christless whcl.” We trust Mr. Hendricks will never lerrn the estimation of these valorous gentlemen. It might make him feel bud—very bad! Indianapolis Sentinel; The Cincinnati Commercial is out in a column leader defending and explaining Hayes’ title to the presidency. It. goes over the entire ground, and eva les the vital point, just as the commission did. and as all therudicul organs do wherever they discuss thesubje t.and that Is the refusal of a majority of the commissioners to look into the legality oi illegality of the electoral votes in dispute. They give excuses lor the action of the commission, but never a valid reason. The American people < xpected the commission to exhaust all the means at their command only asking that they arrive at a satisfactory result when the facts hud been thoroughly sifted. Instead of doing so they simply refused to hear the < - idence, and the swindle passes into histo-y as the only title of Hayes to the Presidency. There is no getting away from this plain statement. On last the work on the I. D. & C. Illi, commenced at Bradford, and small though the beginning it must eventually prove the greatest enterprise of north-western Indiana. An eager crowd had gathered together in the little hamlet, having heard reports through town and neighborhood, that work would commence there that day. But along toward noon some began to doubt, as up to that time no tailroad indications were to be seen, except a few hair-oiled, kid gloved, paper-coilared strangersstrutting through the streets whose appearance was not all calculated to inspire a feeling of confidence or hope of active operations. They did not look as though they intended to shovel dirt or handle a scraper.— At about 1 o’clock, however, a line of teams loaded with plows, scrapers, shovels and grading implements, tiling into town, the approach of which called forth cheer after cheer from the gathered inhabitants. At two o’clock all proceeded to the point in the town where work was tc be commenced. President Lee being called for, mounted a wagon and addressed the people in his usual enthusiastic and entertaining manner. After referring to matteis of interest to the people of the vicinity, amt the importance this small beginning attached thereto, he proceeded to cast the first shovel full of dirt, and the child was born amidst cheers for the “Narrow Gauge Railroad,” and Mr. Lee.— Work then began under the direction of Chief Engineer Ferris, who presided over this part of the ceremony with becoming gi ace. It is intended that twenty-five teams shall be at work within a week on this section of two miles and work will bo commenced on each two miles us fast as the engineer can lay it off. An engine and four flat curs are to be at Bradford next week and tie iron will be delivered shortly after.

LETTER FROM NEBRASKA.

Platteox-D, Neb., Oct. 23, 1877. Editor Democratic Sentinel : A few words occasionally from Nebraska would doubtless be read with ii. tervst by some of the many readers of the Sentinel. Mrs. Sarah Rishling, and family, of Hanging Grove Township Jasper county, Indiana, arrived here on last Wednesday. They are highly pleased with the country, and will settle in this county. Nebraska is in a prosperous condition at present, and will, ere long, rank as the first among the Western States. The crops- are simply enormous. Corn never was better; the yield ranges from 60 to 90 bushels per acre thro’out this county. This county contains about 300 squaie miles, and is well watered with creeas flowinu thro' it, brooks and springs. It lias also the Missouri on the east, and tlx Platt on the South and West. Its towns are Bellevue, the oldest town in Nebraska, and famous for its schools; Papillion, the county seat, located on the U. P. RR.; Surf y Centre, the would-be county seat; La Platt, in the south-east corner, on O. S, W. RR., and Forest City, on the western border, near Platt River. There are 34 schools, and the very bset of school houses. Twenty-five miles railroad—U. P. and O. S. W. RR. More anon. E.J. L.

Where the Jurors are From.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Ti e tier of counties extending across the north end of this state are named in the following order: Lake, Porter Lapcrte, St. Joseph, Elkhart, Lagrange and Stuben. The next tier on the south runs as follows: Newton, Jasper, Starke, Marshall, Kosciusko. Noble and Dekalb. Pulaski touches Starke j and is touched by Cass on the south, and Allen touches Dekalb. In looking over the United States jury for

November it appears that there are 48 men on the two juries, and out of about 75 counties in the district the following named gentlemen are from the above mentioned counties: GRAND JURORS. W. W. Chesire. Lake; J. C. Surran, Porter; Simon McCormick, Laporte; Albert Cass. St. Joseph; E. L. Billings, Elkhart; G. W. McConnell, Steuben; B. T. Lane, Pulaski; G. A. Netherton, Starke. PETIT JURORS. Loren Nixon, Lake; Azariah Freeman, Porter; C. W. Cathcart, Laporte; J. M. Studebaker ami Adolphus Eberhart, Mishawaka; C. W. Fish, Elkhart; Andrew Hall, Newton; H. F. James, Jasper; R. L. Stone, Noble; R. R. Crooks and George. Stanley, Cass, aak John H. Hill, Allen. As the above comprises the section in which the Democrats last fall made great gains, it shows that the United States officials appreciate honesty and reform.

School Matters.

The school trustees submit for* the consideration of the patrons of the Rensselaer free school a few items gleaned from the superintendent's l>ort for the two months ending October 28,1877. PUNOTUALITT. The enrollment is 246 and average attendance 203, while the enumeration shows 325 pupils. The average attendance is only 62 per cent, of the number within school age, and 79 pupils have not attended school at all. This showing is not satisfactory and results somewhat from prevalent sickness. The last month shows a more regular attendance. In Primary A the daily attendance was 94 per cent, of the enrollment, in Primary B 97 per cent., Intermediate9s percent , Grammar School 91 per cent., and in High School 95 per cent. Parents should regard school as of primary importance. The teachers have handed us the names of pupils whose report has been 3 for the last month as follows:

Primary A.—Gertie Clark, Ida Shriver, Nellie Hopkins, George Cole, Albert Fendig, Miller Grautaud Benhart Leopold.—7, Primary B.— Artie Hopkins, Albion Miller, Bertie Hopkins, Inez Hutson, Birdie Hammond, Minnie Warner, Ora Hopkins, Fannie Wood, Gracia Reeve, Lucy Healy and Nellie Kelley.—l 2 I NTEKMEDIATK.— Louisa Platt, Nellie Reeve, Minnie Peacock, Maggie Healey, Myrtle Henkle, Charlie Spitler, George Holingsworth and Katy Green.—B. High School —lda Parkinson and Louis Holingsworth.—2. It does us good to keep a record of those who can conscientiously respond 3 every day. Why not have the list a long one? Teachers should report in this list none but the worthy. CONDUCT. Our report is not definite on this, item of school management. In this behalf progress is the word. The school regulations have been substantially carried out without any occasion for severe disipline. The government of the school in the main has our approval. We hope patrons will do all they can to aid our teachers in teaching the art of good behavior. This is very important. study. This branch of school work is not very cleverly reported. The plan of study has been such as to induce home work. Home study should become the universal custom. Evening meetings have been avoided and patrons would do well to totally discourage and prevent night meetings on the first four evenings of the school week at least. The school needs the careful attention of all. We have incurred great expense to provide a worthy school. It has progressed thus far in a manner commendable to the teachers and all concerned. The future success of the Rensselaer free school requires your continuous aid and encouragement. We ask you to study carefully the course of study, regulations and suggestions, and do all that can be done to sustain the plan outlined in the published Catalogue. Mordecai F. Chilcote, Ralph Fendig, Simon P. Thompson, School Trustees. We, the teachers of the Rensselaer free school, cordially approve the above suggestions of the trustees in regard to attendance, punctuality, good behavior and home study. G. W. Allen, T. P. Wright, Myra H. Price, Mattie Benjamin, Candace Boroughs.

THE BATTLE OF BUENA VISTA.

How Captain Bragg Himself Told the Story of that Brilliant Day. General H. C. Gibson contributes the following to the New York World: Sir—ln your issue of to-day you publish a statement made by aMr. Stanton in regard to that brilliant incident of the battle of Buena Vista in which tne late Braxton Bragg so prominently figured. It is represented to be authentic, but the writer, who heard the story of this deed of noble daring from Bragg’s own lips years ago, begs leave to correct the statement as it appears in your columns. Bragg, after having been engaged on another part of the Held, moved, with a portion of his battery—light company C, Third artillery, which had rendered splendid service atPalo Alto and Resaca de la Palma under Ringgold and at Monterey under Randolph Ridgely—towards the plateau which became the theater of the decisive conflict of the day. In passing thro’ one of the numerous ravines intersecting the. main plateau he was met or overtaken and passed by the dragoons under Colonel May. On reaching the plate! u he found himself confronted by the whole force of Santa Anna’s army, flushed with success and in proud array, advancing rapidly upon his unprotected battery. He appealed to General Taylor, who had just arrived on the plateau, for support, but the old hero replied: “I have none to give you, save Major Bliss and myself.” Brag", irritated ut the perilous condition of his battery and of the day, answered hotly and hastily, “Where the hell are the dragoons?” Though weakened by the absence of several of his guns, losses of men and with many raw recruits, Bragg at once uulimbered his pieees and prepared to meet the apparently irresistable onset of the enemy, estima'ed at from 10,000 to 20,000 strong. “Alone and unsupported,” says a graceful writer of that day, “stood that battery and the brave old chief.” in one of the most momentous crisis that ever occured on any field by valor won. The infantry had been swept from the field, and to quote the official report of General Taylor, “the moment was critical. Captain Bragg, who had just arrived from the left, was ordered at once into battery without any infantry to support him, and at the imminent risk of losing his guns, this officer came rapidly into ac - tion, the Mexican line being but a few yards from the muzzle of his pieces. The first discharge caused the . nemy to hesitate, the second and third drove him back in disorder and saved the day.” In our annals of war there is no nobler record of fearless,self-sacrificing intrepidity and successful valor; no grander action than this episode of Buena Vista’s fight; no more brilliant scene than that en .cted by “that battery and that brave old chief.” Whose rough and readv blow struck terror To the he ,rt of braggart Mexico. History has perhaps paid it a feeble tribute of nraise or notice, but poetry and art, which would in other lane’s have made its glory famous through all coming time, have left it |‘unhonored and unsung,” though as grand, impressive, thrilling and inspiring a subject, as “The Charge of the Light Brigade” or “The Death of Marco Bozzaris.” October 22, 1877.

THE NEW Fall»Winter STOCK OF dry . GOODS Just Opened by l me, OOTSFSISTES OF Staple Articles that are in demand and that civilized people must use, whether the times be flush or dull, business is at ebb or flow, or money is plentiiul or scarce. 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 ta Ph 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., are kept in addition to the assortment es dress fabrics and other dry goods.
