Adams* chairman of the Jasper county repub. lican central eommittcejiustrncted by Jo Gray how double tickets could be voted and counted?.

Messrs. Corkins have severed theii connection with the Republican, and Messrs. Marshall & Overacker assumed management. Aside from po l.tics we wish the gentlemen success. [ Dennis Freeland, aged about 19 > grandson of Abraham i reeland, < f this county, died at Pilot Grove Wed nesday, and his remains brought to this place yesterday for interment.Ue was highly esteemed by all who knew him. In a fracas at Medaryville, May 3d. between David Barnhill and Daniel Swisher, the former struck the latter with a knife in the arm not far from the shoulder, severing the artery of the arm. and resulting in death. Barnhill was arrested and is awaiting his trial. The Chairman of the Republican Central Committee of Newton county, S. P. Conner, says Dorsey furnished every county in.lndiana with from SI,OOO to $5,000, in cue and two dollar ■bills to carry the State for radicalism last fall.

The other day a friend wrote to Hayes this; “You escaped in’good time. Cultivate your Fremont farm and be thankful. The stormiett period of your administration was as serene as a May morning, compared to the second month of Garfield’s.” The editorof the Connersville Daily Times and News recently made a trip taking in some twenty-three counties, and accompanied by M. L. Spit ler. Esq., one day last week made us a welcome visit. In his spicy little Daily he has this to say of Rensselaer : The prettiest town, or prettiest location for one, was Rensselaer, seat of Jasper, which nestles in a prairie grove on the banks of the Iroquois river like an enchanted village of the fairies on some picturesque island.— It is only 63 miles from Chicago by rail, and has a future, or we miss our guess. The Chicago Times, of Saturday, thus cloarly states the case: “In a hotly-contested municipal election, this week, the city of Indianapolis east 14,140 votes, and gave a republican plurality of 517, Last October, in a hotly-contested election, Indianapolis polled nearly 20.000 votes, and counted one-half of the presumed republican majority in the state of Indiana. Dorsey, Rrady, New, and other high-toned gentlemen fixed up that job, and thereby saved the country. By the skillful manipulation of ballot-boxes in Indianapolis, Lafayette, Tbrre Haute, Kokomo, and other places, that dread enemy, Hancock, was hindered from immediately destroying the republic. It is creditable shame-facedness that no republican has yet been assert the integrity of last year’s Indiana election; and that when the race was for mayor of the city, and not for president of the United States, the people of Indianapolis yoted in somewhat more decent,proportion to the total of their population.” .

Credit Mobelier, DeGolyer pavement, and now Star Route Garfield. The following letter written by Garfield, implicates that gentleman with Dorsey and Brady: - Mentor, Ohio, August 23,1880. My Dear Hubbell —Yours -of the 19th inst. received and contents noted. Please say to Brady that I hope he will give us all the assistance he can. I think he can help effectually. Please tell me how the Departments generally ABE doing. As ever yours. J. A. Garfield. Hon. J. A. Hubbell, Washington,*D. C. Aware of Brady’s connection with Star Routes, Mr. Garfield was satisfied that that gentleman could help effectually. The pay on five routes was incrersed 1577,634.90, Who, then, could dispute the statement that Brady could “help effectually.” Not satified with that, it seems he was desirous of knowing “how the Departments generally are doing.”—Whether they were panning out proportion ally as well as the Star- Routes Department should. Monticello Herald: The community was startled Monday afternoon, by the announcement of the death of Sam 1 Ayres, the well known drayman, who passed away before medical aid could reach him. He complained of not feeling well Monday morning, but attended to business until 11 o’clock, when he went home, returning to the drug-store for some medicine at his wife’s suggestion, and then going back to the house. Shortly after □oon he was seized with violent con« vulsions which continued until death came to his relief. Dr. Robison was summoned and, finding life Aapparentiy extinct, immediately went fbr his hulUry, with which he quickly returned accompanied by Dr. Spencer. The instrument was applied and some of animation were obtained, but

life had fled never more to return. I The flow of blood to the head and neck indicated that death was caused by apoplexy. Deceased had been doing most of the draying at-this place for a number of years, including the delivery of most of the express company’s goods. His face had become more familiar to the business public than that of any other man and his sudden taking off naturally startled the - community.
