He was confined to his bed about ten days ago,, since which time he failed rapidly until hie demise. Col. Healey came to this place about two years ago, and engagad in the practice of law with Frank Jouvenat. He had acquired a good practice, and made many friends here, ii e lived at Rensselaer, Jas per conn tv. several years, and was highly esteemed there as here, as a man of honor and integrity and a good citizen li< >(i\c din the Uri( n :niry Col. of the 151st Regiment, Indiana Volunteers, and the men who served under him and those who fought shoulder to shoulder with him, readily attest, to his unffimJiing bravery in time of peril, and his ability as a military man.

A WINTER TOUR.

Embracing a Trip to St. Louis, thro’ the Sunny South, a Gulf Ride, and Home via Texas, Arkansas, or In dian Territory. The Winter is the season during which business men, and especially tanners, can best afford to leave the warerooin or the farm tor a journey in search of recreation and pleasure, the chief drawback being the inauspicious condition ot the weather for such a trip north ot Mason and Dixon’s line between the months ot October and May. This objeciion is overcome in the following tour arranged for the benefit ot health and pleasure-seekers, via PanHandle Route aud connections, through Mississippi and Louisiana to New Or* eans; by Gulf steamer to Galvesion, Texas, returning to Bt. Louis and home via Pan Handle Route and connections, j Tickets are first-class, aud good to return until June Ist 1880. A detour may be made from Houston to the oil Span* isli winter resort of San Antonio. Rate for round trip will be from fifty to seventy-five dollars, according to starting point. Round trip tickets will also be sold to Florida via Pan Handle Route and con* nections. For information regarding routes, rates and conveniences of travel, address VV. L.

Tne usually wide awake drummer gets absent-minded sometimes, and then romelliing like ibis happens, a 3 related by the Kondout Freeman: ‘‘An agent tor a JSew York house callad on a merchant yesterday, and handed him a picture of bis betrothed instead ol his business card, saying he tepresented that establishment, iite merchant examined il carefully, remarked that it was a very line establishment, and returned it to tire astonished man, with a hope that he would soon be admhtjd into partnership.” Two men started from Minneapolis on the same train,carrying conflicting deeds to a piece of laud in Sioux Fails, and each resolved to get his document recorded lirst. As they approached that city one of them ctimoed upon the engine, slipped the coupling, lett the train to take care of itself and m-hed on, securing a record of his title half an hour before bis rival. Springfield [Mass.) Republican; Republican politicians may as well remember that it Grant is nominated, the antiGrant boom will be a good deal bigger than the Democratic party, and as the Grant boom is a good deal smaller than the Republican party, the result might he tin pleasant for the Republican politicians. The Peoria Democrat says: The Republicans have emphatically put their ;oot in it by their mobocratio and revolutionary demonstrations in .Maine better keep altogether within the letter andjspirit of the law, gentlemen. You can not afford to inaugurate.civil war. The Leadville Chronicle says that a common vagrant and drunkard, now in the chain gang of that city under the assumed name of Stormont, was formerly a United States Senator from an Eastern State. A bird dealer ot Des Moines sold a parrot lor #4O, with the assuiance that it did uot know any bad language, but the purchasei soon found that it swore like a trooper., aud has sued to recover the mor ney.

1880 THB! 1880 Indiana Weekly STATE SENTINEL. Enlarged, Improved. SI.OO Per AnnumTHE PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. PROSPECTUS FOR 1880. The coming presidential year promises to be the most eventful and thrilling in a political sense that we have ever witnessed, and 4 wiU determine questions of the most vital importance to every citizen of the State and nation. It is not improbable—indeed it is almost certain that, upon the determination of these questions, will depend the perpetuity of our present system of tree government. These questions will be thoroughly discussed during the present session of Congress. The Sentinel has arranged for a first class, experienced, special correspondent at Washington, and in addition to giving a true account of all the general proceedings in that body, will give Unloading speeches of our most prominent states men, aud without depriving our patrons of the usual amount of reading matter. Tho Sentinel will hereafter contain supplement,[making in all Stxrv Columns of composition. In a word, it is the purpose of The Sentinel, as a steadfast watchman of public intelli.ence, to do its whole duty in affording information to its sub scribers upon all these topics of such vast moment. As in '7O so in 'BO Indiana will be called upon to take a first position in the front of the great contest, and upon the success or failure of the groat and guliaut Democracy of our State will depend the fate of issues the most portentous ever submitted to,the arbitrament ot a free people. We shall also specially call attention, from day today, as occasion may require, to au entirely Ne-.v I’hasis in the politics of our State—we mean the forced emigration for temporary partizan purposes of pauper negroes from the South into Indiana. The managers and leaders of the Republican party, in our State and at Washington, are now engaged in this nefarious work, and are attempting by every means in their power to promote its advancement. They have failed, utterly failed to couviuce our peopled' the correctness of their political principles, by reason or argument; their appeals to hatred aud prejudice have fallen harmless: their lavish and corrupt expenditures of public aud private moneys have proved wholly futile. They propose now by an African invasion of worse than a vandal horde ol beggars aud men dicants to override the voice of the people of the State, and to drown the Democratic majority. The last resort, the forlorn hope, the assaulting party, tlie picket assaulting corps of Republicanism in Indiana is thus made up—not from th? Hunters, Harrisons, Heilmans, or Shacklefords of the State; not from the intelligence or ability of that party, bur is composed of a motley, parti colored gang wretched field negroes from the South. The froth and scum of this worthless importation are made use of to destroy the free franchise of resident citizens, aud to tyx our means of iiome labor and domestic subsistence for tlie support ol tlie'political tenets of a defeated faction. The sleepless Sentinel, upon the heights of popular rights and popular liberty, predicts that this movement will also be a failure. With respect to this before unheard of method of manufacturingparly majorities in a State, we shall at all times ive the latest and mostreliable intelligence. The Araeric nPemocracy, the Federal Union, the rights of a tePeople and the States, one and inseparable—now and forever. The merits of The Sentinel us a general newspaper are so well known among the farmers of this State, especially those of the Democratic persuasion, tha' commendation of it is considered superfluous We will add, however, that the man agement has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall furnish so great practical value to its patrons for the money. In its news, Us editorial, its literary and miscellany—in a word, in its general reading it shall not be surpassed by auv paper circulated in the State. It will be particularly adapted to the family circle. We do not believe that any reading, thinking mnn in the Stato can afford to do without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost at which it is furnished.

uim itii Every subscriber to the Weekly State Sentinel, at $1 29 per year, wiil receive a copy of The Sentinel's very able iuw treatise, by James Ji. .MoCrellis, Esq., entitled THE LAW OF THE FARM.
