ANNOUNCEMENT-RECORDER.

Editor ok Sentinel: Pleiise announce that I will be a candidate for Recorder of Jasper County, subject to decision of voters of said couty at the polls. AUG’S. H. WOOD. Hon. Simeon P. Sheerln, of Cass county has a very large following for clerk of the Supreme Court. He is a sound Democrat and a capable man. We give our radical friends notice that they will not have so clean a field in this county as t ey anticipate* And we give the most sanguine of them notice that some of their pets will get distanced. The Jasper County Committee of the National Greenback party, ate reqested to meet at the Court House in Rensselaer, on the Ist, Saturday in June, so: the purpose of appointing delegates to the congressional convention to be held at Logansport. Tlie Fowler correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal say that Peter H. Ward, Jno. P. Carr will enter the race against Hon. M. L. DeMotte for nomination for Congress,: that Si mon P. Thompson and Henry S. Travis will be candidates for State Senator, and why is our Dr. Maxwell left unmentioned. “We suggest to our brethren of this Congressional District that Rensselaer would be a good and convenient point for holding the Democratic Congressional Convent/on this year. It is accessible, and the accommodations are now such that all who might attend can be entertained. We trust the, Congressional Committee will con| eider this suggestion.

Johnny Davenport is still after t he author of tne Morey letter. He is very anxious to trace it to a Democratic source. The elections are coming on, and It is necessary for something of this sort that attention of the people may be diverted from the rascalities of the radical party.— If he don’t keep a sharp lookout he will land it in the home of Garfield before he is through with it. President Tilden’s income tax has served the purpose of a scarecrow by the radical leaders, each succeeding Presidential campaign, ior some years, to frighten back into their ranks the dissatisfied element; and now they would have their followers believe they are on the eve of fastening upon wicked Democrats the au. thorshin of the Morey letter—a production which Mr. Garfield was in all probability the writer. The Policy in dicated in that letter is to-day being carried out by the radical national administration.

It is not often that a Repunlican paper speaks the truth as plainly as the Indianapolis Times. In writing about|the assassination of Lord Caven| hish and Mr. Burke, the editor says that Gladstone’s temporizing, vacillating policy is what prduced the conditions that brought forth the murders. The Times further says that Gladstone’s responsibility in regard to them is of much the same character as Mr. Conkling’s in regard to the murder of Garfield. We consider that pretty plain talk for a Bepubli can paper and it clearly shows that there is a sentiment abroad holding Oonkling, to a certain extent, responsible for the killing of the late President. Whether Oonkling is deserving qr not of the insinuations cast upon him by his own party, Guiteau is the man who will have to pay the penalty just now, and in the end, punishment will fall upon the whole Republican party for the part it tpok in the assassination of Garfield.

THE WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS

While the papers of Rensselaer have been fully awake to the advantages acd Jresorcas which are being developed by the recent construction or a railroad through the town and county, they seem to have entirely overlooked one of its pecular and most valuable attractions. It is a fact, not generally known abroad, that Rensselaer boasts the possession of valuable mineral springs* That these springs have not been generally known to the public and Utilized, and is to be attributed to Rensselaer’s hitherto isolated condition, having remained for a long time trithout the adyahtages of railroad’;

travel. Their location is in the im- j mediate vicinity of the town, extending along the banks of the Iroquois a j distance of nearly a mile, and are indicated on the map of Indiana as the “White Sulphur Springs." The waters of these springs are nerer failing, are of an exceedingly by clem: and voliie nature, and may be used freely during the hottest period of the season without the least ap prehension of daDger or unpleasant sensation. Their temperature is about 50 dag. They vary somewhat in their nature, some being moderately im pregoated with iron. Their medical qualities have been fully and carefully tested by persons under the care of Hkillful and scieuti fle physicians, and have been found to compare favorably with the springs of Saratoga and othe M '•••lehr ited watering ? laces. Now, that ReDaselaer is favored with railroad facilities and provided with large and commodious hotel-* the best o? management, It seems proper that these valuable springs should be brought into notice tha fc they may be resorted to by invalids in this aud neighboring States. With a moderate expenditure of money, they may he made very attractive not only for their health disusing qualities, but on account of the invegoring climate, and charming seen ery, which the locality affords. Tbs Burrounding prarie is undulating and dotted over with beautiful grovos > giving to the landscape a picturesque appearance. For sportsmen it has a peculiar attractiou grous, aud other wild fowl being abundant. J. M.

Hon. Samuel Jacobs, Mayor of the city of Logansport, is announced by tne Pharos ns a Democratic candidate for the nomination for Congress in this district. He is the first to announce himself for that office and it is not probable that he will have many competitors. The lace is by no means a hopeless one. The Re’ publican politicians regard the district as reliably Republican, but the groundsweil that is coming to pass this fall in the matter of electing Congressman will wipe out the difference in party strength and elect a Demscrat to take the place now occupied by Mr. DeMotte. A good ac. tive man who will enter the campaign with a determination to win will overcome the majority against him Of Mr. Jacobs the Pharos has the following to say: “Mr. Jacobs possesses qualifications that fit him for the po sition to which he aspires. He likewise hasthe faculty of making friends of those with whom he comes in con taot. Bearing the sobriquet of “Old Integrity.” in 1877, he defeated for Mayor Dr. J. B. Shultz, who at that time, was the most popular Republican in Cass county. In 1879, he was reelected by an increased majority, and in 1881, was elected for the third time. As chief executive of the city he has shown himself to be an economist—a characteristic so much needed among Congressmen. As a Congressman he would favor tariff reform and oppose monopolies. As a public speaker he is forcible, and commands the attention of his hearers. He would make a popular campaigner. He is cer tainly popular among the working Democrats of the city and country and since, from all that we learn, Cass county will present :he name of no otner candidate for the place, he should receive the support of the Cass delgation in the coming convention.”

The Peru Republican thus speaks. Rev. Mordecail Painter, of Amboy, is chaplain of th 9 Northern Penitentiary, He furnishes a good deal of nice fresh butter from his farm for consumption at the prison. As he hadn’t very much baggage of the usual kind to carry on the train between his home and the prison he took the fresh butter in hie trunk, which didn’t hurt the butter at all duringjthe cold weather. But the reckless baggage slingers managed to burst the trunk and expose the product of the dairy, and then the exacting managers of that soulless coporation, the railroad company, had the cheek to object to that method of shipping butter. Why was it any business of the railroad? Every passenger is entitled to carry 100 pounds of D&ggage free and what is the difference whether it is butter or breeches ?

An exchange gives the following excellent advice, which might be followed more closely in Rensselaer without any serious detriment to the place,“Every citizen should constitue himself a committee of one to extend aid and courtesy to those who come among us in search of location or as casual visitors. Especially should those who intend starting in some needed branch of business receive attention and encouragement. Oft’ times the man who at first hesitates will cast his lot with a town whose citizens give him a cordial reception* fjt it makes him feel that he will be welcome, and with many this feeling is needed to remove the almost univers sal repugnance toward starting In a strange town.”

Maybury, Pullman & Co’s train of twenty cars containing their menagerie and circus, was run into by a freight train one mile east of Jackson Michigan, about noon, Wednesday es last week, and totally demolished. The entire freight train and cirous train are both total wrecks. The track is covered with the circus debris. One elephant and one camel was killed. A clergyman who had juet married a couple felt indignant when the bride-groom gave him a fee of only a half dollar, sm'led grimly and said; “Never mind. You’ll have to pay a lawyer SIOO for undoing what I have done.

Domocratic State Convention.

Indianapolis, Mat 18, 1882. The voters of Indiana, legardless of past political affiliations, who are desirous of cooperating with the Democracy in the support of its priori pies and nominees, are initevd to participate in the meetings called throughout the State for the purpose of selecting representatatives to attend Delegate Convention, to be held in the city of Indianapolis, Wednes day, August 2,1882. for the purpose of adopting a platform of principles and the nomination of candidates to be supportedjfor the following offices: three Judges of the Supreme Court, Secretary of State, Auditor of State Treasure of State, Clerk or Supreme Court, Attorney General, Superinten dent of Public Instructions. The ratio cf representation will be one delegate for each 200 voters cast for Hancock and English November. 1880, and one delegate for each fraction of 100 or over. William H. English, Chairman. James H. Rtce, Seretary. Under this apportionment Ja-per county is entitled to 4 delegates.

Brookston Reporter: Geo. Chamberlain while on the train Friday just before arriving at Lafayette had $lO5 takeu from him. He thinks he knows who took it but did not miss it until a few minutes after he got off the train at Lafayette. They went on. John Even burg, of Laporte, when retiring Tuesday night, took poison, and was found dead Wednesday morning of last week. His wife had obtained a divorce a few days ago on account of his habitual drunkenness and he had ever since been gloomy and despondent. Postmaster-general Howe has issued an order that after July Ist 1882, all letters on which a full rate of postage has not been prepaid, in** stead of being forwarded to the dead letter office, shall be held by the postmaster of the all free delivery offices and the address informed bY postal card to remit the postage due.

While the Republican party are giving their attention to Mahonizing Mississippi, Texas and North Caroli na,itis not remotely possible that the Democrats will in the meantime Mahonize New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. Then it would be just a trifle more than a stand off. The party in power must remember that two can play at Mahonism. A Chinese murder trial was recently in progress in Sacramento. The Court room was crowded with coolies eagerly listening to the trial. Among the heathen faces was one recognized by the sheriff as belonging to the “rogue’s gallery.” He was arrested and found to be Ah Chip, who is a murderer nimself. He will be taken to Winnemecca, Nev., for trial. Western men are very blunt and plain speakers, and are giving to using exceedingly home expressions. Certain Republicans in Oregon hav ing expressed a determination to vot© against their ticket as a rebuke to Mr. Arthur for having vetoed the anti Chinese bill, and they designate their proposed action as “wallopping their own Jackass ”

You will be pleased to hear that Mrs Partington’s sister has come into a fortune, and set up her carriage and has it followed by two Dalmatian coach dogs. We presume it is to the animals Mrs. Partington alludes when she says, “The carriage is most voluptuous to ride in, and always has two ‘Damnation’ dogs running after it.” A dispatch from Chattanooga, Tenn says; A man named John L. Dutton' who has been deaf and dumb for six--teen years, was on the steamer Wild er asleep in his berth a few days ago, when it struck a suag, and he was thrown out. He was overcome with fright and became sick, and in a few days his speech and hearing were entirely restored. He lost them by dis ease. Persons wuo havo known him for ten years testify to the truth of his loss of hearing and speech, and to day confirm the story.

The New Yore Herald editorially’ makes the following statements; “We are in a position to assert that, despite all denials, in which thus far Mr. Blaine has never openly joined, the nomination of Judge Robertson for oolletor was nrged by Mr. Blaine upon President Garfield, with a force which made it practically a demand, on the night before that most unfortunate and calamitous appointment was made. Many of those who were nearest to President Garfield now feel that but for Mr. Blain’s efforts to construct an administration machine in New York hostile to his old antagonist, Senstor Oonkling, the fractional feud which led to the assassination would not have occured.” And now the Stalwarts are carrying out tne same programme toward the “half-breed”.

A Girl’s Composition on Boys.

Boys is strange things. Boys is of three kinds. The baby boy, the little boy, and the big boy. I don’t like the baby boy, because be squalls or kicks, I can rock him with a cradle, But|if the big boy squalls or Kicks, I can rock him with stones. I like the little boy the best when it snows, cause he can haul me on his sled. A boy is a little man If, he behaves himself, and if be dosen’t, he is a little devil, that is what mother said brother Bob was, the other day when he told old Miss Snllth that papa says that he was a little boy once ; but mother savs she wasn't, and she wishes papa was a little boy some, mere. Sister Juiia says she don’t like boys, and when I saw her and Town Brown a sitting In a rocking chair on Saturday night, she said she was trying to squeeze ihe lifeboat of him ’cause she didn’t like him; but I don’t think she was hurting any place, for he wouldn’t let her get up. This is all I know about boys, and mother says she hopes I won’t never know any more about them.

In a recent speech in the Hou*e of R< presentatives Mr. Bimonton, of Ten** nessee, said: For instance, plain bleed ed cotton, worth less than twenty cente per yard, pays an ad valorum doty, a tax, of 45 per cent., while the same article, worth more than twenty cents, pays a tax of 35 per cent., a discrimination of 10 per cent, ia favor of the more costly goods suited to the rank and tondiction of the rich, against the cheaper and coarser goods with which the poor must content themselves. The ch«epest skirts and drawers (woolen) pay 85 per cent., the dearest 60 per cent, a discrimination of 26 per oent.* The cheapest wool hat pays 92 per eeuf., while the dearest pays 69 per cent., a discrisuiiatiou of 29 per cent. Carpels valued at 82 42 per yaru --uiti'b e ror the rich man’s drawing-room, pay 50 per cent.; Brussels, 81.41 per yard, to whioh an humble Hi iz-u might sometimes aspire for the nice room, pay, 68 per ceut., a discrim in a‘rati rs 18 ner cent; a cheaper still, and certainly within the r*»cch of many humble citizens, woith sixty-eight cents per y rd, pays 75.92 per cent., a discrimination of 25.92 per cent., while druggists, b- ckings, eic., valued at 3u cents per yard, pays 96.30 per cent, or a discrimination of 46.30 per cent, in favor otthe rich. The cheapest blanket the po l r man’s blanket, pays the enormous tariff of 904 per cent.; more than half the price in tax, while the soft and downy ones, suitable as some oue said, for the bridal couch or the chambers of wealth, that rest gentle as the snow flakes fall ou the tender forms of the children of fortune, pay 76 per cent., a discrimination ot 20* per cent in favor of the rich and against the poor. Sir, these are a tew of the vicious effeets from the application of the principle of protection a 8 found in our tariff laws. These inequalities, this shameful injustice, are not mere incidents: but are a part of the system and will always be found when duties are laid not to distribute the burdens of Government equably and justly nor lor the purpose of revenue but to proieotsorne man’s faet ry or some man’s furnace

* * * Thus the farmer upon his; trace chains pays .a tax of 58£ per cent., while the sport can have his diamonds and cameos at 10 per cent. The seamstress of the needles in her sewing machine pays a tariff of 45 per cent., the carpenter on bis Saws from 12 to 63 per cent., while the elegant ge: tleman of leisure gets his rubies, pearless and precious stones at 10 per cent. If it is boards nails or wood screws the farmer wants, if it is tacks or brads to do his mending, or a steol pen to keep his account, he must pay 58 per cent.; but the dainty little gentleman with Ilia derby hut snorts h ; s ratan cane taxes 20 per cent,, hii jewelry 25 per cent. On his plows, spades, picks and shovels he pays 45 per cent., while the aesthetic citizen who despices the useful, who studies music and fills the air with melody can have his instruments at 30 per cent. If it is castor oil or epsom salts needed for the sick in the fam ily, for the former he pays 152 per cent., for the latter 78 per cent.; but his hospitable neighor to treat his triends may have his champaign for 47 per cent. Ou the bagging to wrap his cotton bales he pays 60 per cent., on his window glass 59 to 73 per cent.; but he may have, if he chooses silver plate and wares of gold at 45 per cent. His good wife on her spool ot thread pays 74 to 78 per cent., on her balmoral 80 per cent, on her hosiery 60 per cent., on her coarse shawl 60 per ceut.. her worsted dress goods 67 per cent,, (being 7 per cent, more than the tax on silk,) but if she would adorn her home with statuary fom foreign masters the tar ff seeks to encourage her taste and kindly lets them in at 10 per cent., but on hor broom and knives aud forks sho must pay 35 per cent., on her pitchers, bowls, plates; etc., she pays 25 per cent. Such is the character of tho present iniquitous tariff, which, while it compels the producing class of the country to pay for tho luxuries of the rich, also requiries them to pay outrageous prices tor the absolute necessities of life, aud ti.is, too, for the benefit of monopolists who are thereby enabled to import luxuries.

Chancing to fall in with B. F. Dobson, of Owen County, a Sentinel scribe found him to be a a very pleasant and well informed gentles man. Learning that he had lately returned frqm Washington, the fol lowing conversation took place; Reporter—How long was you in Washington? Answer—l went there the 7th of December last and left the 16th of May. Reporter—Wfiat was the object of your visit there? Answer—To secure the passage of a special act for pension which was debarred by the statute of limitation. Reporter—Was you successful in this enterprise? Answer—Yes, sir. Reporter Through whase instrus mentality?

Answer—Through Senator Voorhees and C .ngressman Maston, of the fift > district, In addition to the professional assistance which they rendered, they showed me every atten tion in a social way, a thing they always do for an Indianan who visits Washinton. Reporter—How is Senator Voorhees regarded in Washington? Answer - from what I could observe there is more respect paid to him on the floor of the Senate than to any man there. When he rises to speak he commands the closest attention of any member of that body. Reporter—What impression is Congressman Mast m making? Answer—ln the Committee room and in the House he is taking a high rank.

Reporter—What are the chances for his election? Answer—He will be eleted by a larger majority than before. He deserves this honor because of his at tetion to the claims of the soldiers. He now has more than 400 claims on his boocks which he is looking after. Reporter—What are your impressions of President Arthur? Answer—He seems tc be a careful man, but is determined ts carry out he principles of Stalwart Republicanism. He is liked socially, as he never refuses to see any one, and .meets them with a hearty shake of the hand and a kind word. His entertainments are more elegant than any which, have have been given in Washington for many years. Reporter—What is the opinion in Washington concerning the political outlook of Indiana? Answer—The feeling is that the Democrats will carry the State, and gain two or three Congressmen. The Res

publicans are evidently concerted j about the indications. Reporter—Did Senator Harrison Rid you any in securing the passage of your blit? * * Answer—ls he did I never learned of it. When I called upon him he plead an important engagement and could not talk with me. He said 1 might send him the report of the committee. In company with two gentles men. I went to the Senate resaurant and found him taking bis lunch, and learned that this was the pressing ens gt gement which prevented his assising me. When Indiana Republicans want a favor they go to Senator Voorhess instead of Hariison. who is cold and phlegmatic, while Voorbees is warm hearted and s mpathetic. In setting aside the Kilbourn judgment for false iraprleoment, the Judge remarked tSat the consal in the case (Voorhees) had had an undue influence with the jury, meaning that he had carried them by his persuasive powers.—lndianapolis Sentinel.

Martin Van Buren is the only man in United States history who held the office of president, vice-president, minister to England, governor of his state and member of both houses of congress. Thomas H. Benton is the only man who held a seat in the United States senate for thirty consecutive years. The late General James Shields is the only mau who ever represented three states in the United States senate, he having represented Illinois. Minnesota and Missouri. John Quincy Adams held a position under every administration, from. Washington to Polk, and the onlv instance where three brothers occupied seats in Congress at the same time, was when E. R. Washburn represented Illinois, Israel Washburn Maine, and C. Washburn, Wisconsin.

Comanche Bill.

]Kansas Sun.J An incident illustrating the nobleness of heart and gallantry toward women of mountain men is related of Bill, which happened in Wichita a few weeks since. Bill rode into town dressed in a complete suit of buckskin. As he went along he saw a “counter-jumper,” as he was pie sed to call him, roughly catch a little girl about. 18 years old (Bill’s idea of a “little” girl) by the shoulder and solicit her attention. The girl with drew her arm angrily, and just then the scene fell under Bill’s personal inspection.

“She was a poor girl,” says Bill, “and plainly clad in an old dress, but I wan*t going to see her insulted by any durted-counter under my mountain eyes. X just jumped down from my hoss and I called for that fellow to stop. He didn’t seem to want to, but I made him stop. I took up the little girl in my arms and set her down on a box. I took off her shoes and said to the counter-jumper: ‘Now I want you to get down aud lick the dust off the soles of that poor girl’s feet whom you have insulted.’ And I made him lick that poor girl’s feet whom you have insulted.’ And I made him do it. He looked down in the muzzle of a forty- five callfiber Colt.s for just about half a minute, and then e came to his milk like a little lamb, And I made him lick that girl,s feet for a plumb two hours, though a big crowd gathered around, but I bad all my men with me and did not care whether they liked it or not.”

How to See the Wind.

Take a polished metallic surface of two feet or more, with a straight edge—a large hand saw will answer the purpose. Take a windy day, whether hot or cold, clear or cloudy, only let it not rain or the a]r be murky; in other words let the air be dry and clear, but this is not essential, Hold your metallic surface at right angles to the direction of the wind if the if the wind is north, hold your surface east and west, but instead of holding the surface vertical, incline it about forty-fiye degrees to the horizon, so that the wind striking glances and flows over the edges (keeping it a 8 water oyer a dam. Now sight carefully over the edge at some minute and sharply defiined object, and you will see the air flow over as water flows over a dam. Make your observations carelully, and you will hardly fail to see the air, no matter how cold; the result is even bettet when the sun is obscured. [The above is doubtless a very interesting experiment, but moat people, especially newspaper men, would prefer to know how to raise the wind.]

The Grave of Mother Moose.— One at least among the church members of the Old South has reached eminence in the literary art. An inspired singer, her works have found a place In every household in the land, and her names among the dearest oi our early recollect tions. It is with rare good taste and gennine appreciation, therefore, that this im. mortal bard of the nursery has been given a niche in.the “Westminister Abbey” oi > merica. The following inscription, cop, ied from one on the wall of the church, will explain: “Elizabeth Poster, known in the literature of the nursery as Mother Goose; bom in Gharlestown, Massachusetts, in 1665. Married Isaac Goose in 1693. Became a member of the Old South church in 1698. The first edition of her melodies was published in 1719 by her son-in-law, Thos. Fleet, at bis printing house, Pudding lane (now Devonshire street) Boston. She died in 1767, aged 92 years, and was buried in the Old Granary Burying Ground.” A fae-simiie Of hpr house and her son-in-law’s printing office is given in the east gallery. Over her door is the legend: “Elizabeth Goose: Her: House:”. Beside it another reading “Thomas; Fleet; Printer;” On the ridge pole is perched an owl. Doves are hovering iu the air about the oote. Surmounting all is the figure of a mammoth goose, the genus loci; A pic. ture of the venerable grandma, with her work open upon the knees, spectacles on nose, and her eager grandchildren around her, hangs at one side. —Boston letter.

Prentice was playing at poker on a Mississippi steamer. Prentice bet SI,OOO on his hand; his opponent raised him Prentice raised $1,000; his oppon, ent raised him $600; Prentice again rais. ed the stake SI,OOO. “Mr. Prentice,” said the opponent, confidently; “you are betting more than your hand is worth.” Prentice looked at his hand, turned it down on the table, jand said: “Sir, if I were playing with Jupiter at a star an ante, I would darken the heavens on the hand I have just turned down!”—Denver Inter-Ocean. •

A man once asked how he and his wife got along with so little friction in the family machinery. •‘Well,” said he, “when we were first married w$ both wanted our own way. I wanted to sleep on linen sheets, my wife prefejr d cott n. and we couldn’t agree. Finally we talk ed the matter over, and came to the conclusion that it was unohristian to live in constant bickering; so we compromised linen, and have got along all right ever since.”—Quiz.

Mr. Arthur is rapidly earning the repu- i tation ot being the worst President the Republic ever bad. Its only c<»isolation lies irrtbe fact that it never elected him.— Denver Tribune, Rep. The meanest man on record sent through a post office presided oyer by a woman a postal card on which was written, “Dear Jack! Here’s the details of that scandal.” And the rest was in Greek. A Federal official who has a position in New York but who lives ojjt of town, was boasting about liia democratic habits He said ■ “Now because I hold a place under the Government you don’t see me put on a rs. No, sir. Why there’s my wife in the country; she carries swill to a dozen hogs every day—a dozen! And yet we don’t put on any airs.’’

A southern city is said to boast of a colored lodge, part or whose title is “The grand council of the ancient orders of the sons and daugters, brothers and sisters cf Moses, of the United States and the woild at. large.” The secret grip lames a man for six months. Henry Ward Beecher told Burdette the other day that, old as he is, he can not overcome h a stage frignt for a few moments when he goes on the platform. We don’t blame Hank for feeling a little shy, says Bill Nyo. If we had established the reputation he has, we would go on the stage disguised as a rain-water barrel or a wooden Indian. Mr. Henry Stemler thus philosophizes Stories first heard at a mother’s knee are never wholly forgotton; so, also, stories first told to a mother when she asks where her boy has been, when he has really been in swimming, come in mighty hard when the boy has grown to be a man and his wife interviews him from the head of the stairs.” Simon Frazier fought iu the war of 18. 12, drifted ashore on a single timber from his raft which the Bt.Lawrence rapids had knocked to pieces, was blown fifteen feet in the air by the premature discharge of a blast, assisted in a boiler explosion on the Hudson, was brought home half .dead from three other accidents of which the particulars have not been pre erved, twice recovering from illness alter his doctors had given him up, and finally died in peace and hope last week in the Home for the Aged, on the Troy (N. Y.) Road, at the age ot 105 years.
