NOTICE TO TRUSTEES.

Mr. Hiram Deysart, a resident of Bloomington Ind , was “coufidenced” out of $76 List Tuesday. We invite the attention of all lovers of fine stock (o “A Brief Letter,” ■which we copy from the Logauspcrt Journal. Read it. Although not the choice of “many Citizens,” the ticket elected on Mon dav is a good one, and gives very general satisfaction. in the city and town elections just held all over the State the Democrats have made heavy gains, capturing many radical stronghol :s. Calkins' postmaster was kept in the background on election day, for trie reason that personal effort on his part for the causus licket would have. Insured its defeat. Petitions are being circulated in Harrisburg. Pennsylvania, favoring the introductiou of instruction in plain sewing in the schools cf that State. Calkins* postmaster completely and agreeably surptised at the success of the caucus ticket in Rensselaer. It wr.s unexpected, and he cannot refrain from jubilating exceedingly. The Laporte Argus very truly says: "Scratch a Grant man and you will And a believer iu bayonet rule, a defender of election frauds and an ad ndrer of Eliza Pinkston.” The inspector gives Calkins’ postmaster away on that “intelligent young Democrat” who voted his endorsement of the fraud’s veto rnes s.;ge! For shame, Mr. Inspector, bow could you? It is said that to “ make a pile of corn on the cobs, effectually scorch it, and then give the affected hogs free access to it,” is the b >«t remedy for hog cholera known. It is reported.to have been tried in a number of eases, and never failed. The South Bend Herald thinks those who went buck on the Demo uiutic partv last fall may know something about who got that SSOO sent Lorn Washington to help elect Major Galkins. Shouldn’t wonder a bit if ' tLu re’e some truth in that. During the Just eight years the Southern Claims Commission has audited and caused to be paid out of ’•ie Treasury $150,000,000. This was i/iven to build up the Republican party In the South. It is certainly time to call a halt. Let General Bragg j-.'Tsevere in his work,—Washington Post.

That, long promised “greatest es ort of his life,” of lord Roscoe Conkling, has been got off ut last. Itjexeels in vindictive sarcasm and unchaste rhetoric, and is conspicuous for the absence of logic. He is an expert in tearing a passion to rags, and maintoned his reputation in that field of discourse. Only that and nothing more. Simultaneously, and a coincident, comes the same day from Russian accounts of military measures to re press public sentiment against the oppression of that despotic government, and a veto message from the fraud in the White House to a meas tire to make elections free—insisting that the civil must be subordinate to the military power! Geo. Harding, of the Indianapolis Herald, attempted to shoot Cal. Light, of the Democrat, same city, Sunday evening. Hefailed. however, was arrested, released on bail, and on Monday made another attempt, wounding two of the employes, Gerhard Lizins and Richard Walters, instead of the person intended. Walters is said to have a brother living near Rensselaer. The Attorney-General of Pennsylvania has issued writsand levied upon Altoona, Lock Haven and Sunbury, In that State, which have defaulted for over a year in payments to the State treasury. Who wants to buy three inland cities, desirably and pleasantly located? Go on wi*h contraction and resumption. Mr. Sherman, municipalities us well as the people are reaping benefits from your mighty statesmanship and capabilities as a financier! It is reported from Washington that Hayes will sign the bill to prevent the use of the army at the polls, as it passed the House the other day, and Radical rejoicing over the r?cent ve to is turning to mourning. Radical postmasters will, however, continue to shout “Hurrah for President Hayes!” If Hayes will sign the bill an appropriation will be made for the support of the army. If he refuses to approve, such appropriation should and we believe will be withheld. Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, one of those terrible rebel brigadiers, on Wednesday last, during a discussion tn the House on the currency question gave expression to noble utteranees. “He spoke of the exorbitant r tes of interest being chaiged by National banks, indicating 18 per cent, as vn unusual rate, and mentioi • ing 5 percent, a month as rates charged by lenders in some parts cf North Carolina. This was one of the effec's of the financial legislation of Congress, which smacked of that which distinguished the rotten dynasties of Uu-rop.nn countries Tlpt* whs much

more danger of the Bovernmeot be. ing destroyed by class legislation than there was of its being starred o deat h. as suggested by Mr. Garfield, but the Gov< rament could not be destroyed. Built up in tears and suffering, cemented with blood, made hen - ic and grand by the death of noble men, its firm base was the granite rock of the Constitution, and let the arm be cursed that strove to remove a single stone from the grand edifice. His.motto was, “Our country first; our country last; our country all the time." ” [Applause.] Report of Center School.

Don’t buy any School Furniture ut - til you see the new and elegant Peb fobated Desk for which Mr. W. S. Beery is agent. When the Company began the manufacture of this deal , they recognized the fact that they must meet the combined and bitter opposition of all manufacturers of ordinary furniture, as this seating sounds the death knell of all slat desks. Their star must at once begin to wane, and must set alongside that of the slab benches of the fathers. School boards have some pride, and want the handsomest and best. Those who purchase the new desk can afford to and will laugh at the adherents of the old style, homely and uncomfortable slat furniture, and those who buy slat desks will soon be ashamed of themselves.
