• democratic FRIDAY AUGUST 21, 1885.

We congratulate our old friends Huff Vanßuckirk upon the enlarged and improved appearance of their Monticello Herald.

We are in receipt of No. 1, of the Freeport (Harper County Kansas) Leader, our late townsman, M. O. Cissel, publisher. It presents a good appearance, and under the management of ‘Merve’ will no doubt prove a success.

Kentland Gazette: Rumor says that our former fellow townsman, James Patton has returned from the wilds of Dakota to take unto himself a Hoosier woman. The fortunate lady who is to join her fortunes with ‘Jim’ in the promised land of Dakota, resides i ear Lafayette we understand.

Our neighbor made an excessive draw on his brain power when he produced the item referring to Treasurer Hoover. We understand the county officials have in contemplation the holding of a meeting to adopl resolutions congratulatory of the fact that he 1 as a chance for recuperation.— One old lady acquaintance of our . friend McCoy cannot understand the following —“ their etc.—imputed to him, and |S alarmingly anxious to know t ‘when he commenced imbibing.” Monticello Herald: The Rensselaer notes a violation of civil service reform in the removal of a worthy postmistress at Goodland to give place to a dem•ocrat.

The Goodland correspondent of the Keatland Gazette notes that Mrs. Canine, the ‘worthy postmistress’ above referred to. “contemplates going to her husband in Kansas.” Therefore wo note that the democratic “violation of civil service reform,” nosed out by our superlatively wise neighbor, results in fixing the habitation of the Canineites.

The Mt. Ayr correspondent of the Kentland Gazette this week thus makes mention of the pugilistic encounter of a Mt. Ayr-a-rat with our townsman, ex-Sheriff Powell: “Last Saturday and Sunday our village was a scene of lawless drunkenness and fighting.— Several kegs of beer was taken from the saloon Saturday and put in e blacksmith shop to be drank on Sunday. On Sunday while John Powell of Rensselaer, in company with another gentleman, was driving through town was insulted by one of the loud mouthed drinking element, and invited out of his buggy to fight. John limbed out but when he saw that the man was drunk got back into his buggy, but that would not suffice, the bully must continue his abuse. Mr. Powell could not swallow all, and got out and completely used up the young general. Mr. Powell has the thanks of the writer, and we are safe in saying the people of the town, and when he wants the ice cream set up to him, all he needs to do is to come and pommel the physiognomy ot our drunken braggarts.”

John Henkle has returned from Indianapolis. B. F. Ferguson has sold his lumber yard to Colburn & Co., of Michigan City. The Rensselaer kids to-day at Monon scored 35 against 15, in a game of base-ball with the Monon Club. Dr. N. B. Delamater, Professor of nervous and mental diseases in Chicago Homoeopathic Colleg > was in Rensselaer Sunday last in consultation with Dr. Hartsell.

M. L. Spitler, Esq., had a severe attack of cholera morbus, last week, but is now “on deck” again-

Gaylord H. and Mary Chilcote accompaniec their cousin, Mi s Minnie Chilcote on her return to her home in Michigan ast Tuesday.

Services will be held at the FW. Baptist church next Sunday morning by Rev. B. F. Ferguson. Vfter the services the ordinance of the Lords Supper will be administered. ()n Saturday next at 2:30 p. m. the regular covenant meeting will be held.

How the Case Terminated.

Bans. Howland, a former proprietor oi the Rensselaer marble works, came to this place on a spree, several days ago. He brought with him an old horse and buggy, which he claimed as his own. After trying several men he finally sold the outfit to Chas. Stebbins for $55, and Stebbias sold the horse to Marshal Hough for $25. Last Sunday, McDade, the Fowler marble man, came over and claimed the property and took it away. Mr. Stebbins had repaired the buggy, and was out a’ltogether about S7O. Howland was canvassing for McDade, and was using the horse and buggy, and didn’t own a dollar in it. Stebbins went to Rensselaer last-Monday and returned Tuesday morning with Howland and a constable from that county. There being no J ustice of the peace in this township, arrangements were made to take the prisoner to Kentland on the 10:08 train. At this stage of the proceedings the Rensselaer constable kicked for his expenses, and threatened to turn the prisoner loose unless he received them forthwith. When the train pulled in Stebbins and his lawyer, Yeoman, boarded the train, while the constable and prisoner stepped back and allowed the prosecuting witness and the legal gentleman to proceed on their way to the courfty sear, minus officer and prisoner. Howland borrowed a quarter of a philanthropic citizen, and after “setting’em up”, the constable and prisoner started east on the railroad, the former apparently as anxious to get away as tne latter. —Goodland Herald.

Bans’ besetting sin is his love of that which intoxicates. Those who know him best do not believe that he knowingly sold the property referred to in the above—many do not believe that he sold it at all, “spree” or no “spree.” •So far the calculations of the complainant have not met with success.

Indiana State Fair.

The present season so far, is the most productive in the history of the State. The grass and hay crop the most important ,of the products, is immense and all that could be desired. The corn crop, second in importance, is magnificent, the recent hot weather with the propitious rains have given it boom by which it promises to excel in this State any previous year by several millions of bushels.

The wheat crop although comparatively light in quantity, is of good quality and exceeds all anticipated estimates, with enough and to spare. The oat crop is the largest ever grown in the State by one fifth, and the potato crop, the most indispensable to the human family, will be of such proportions that we could feed the world. Mother Earth is certainly doing her full share to bring about good times and make happy those who tickle her bosom. These facts in connection with auspicious omens in the rooms of the Board of Agriculture in the shape of business connected with the Slate Fair, the commence September 28th, give assurance of another grand success.

It has been asserted that fiie last Indiana State Fair was the best a«riD cultural exhibition in the U. S. This is not mere assertion for the facts can be easily produced to prove it, and the management have reason to expect this season an improvement on the last. The fair has outgrown its clothes, the greatest want now. is more room to spread itself, and the day is not far distant, (for the idea is now being entertained) to shut out all vehicles from the ground during the Fair to give room for the exhibits and- visitors.

The Railroads promise better rates than ever, and there is hope of some of the prominent men of tne nation being present at the Fair.

Miseries of London Life.

Coleridge long ago.recognized the existence of no fewer than sixty distinctly different stenches at Cologne, and it wa* perhaps the multiplicity of malodorous emanations in the city of the Dom that incited the original Jean Marie Farina to devise the delicious perfume which bears his name. London, however, is a city which far surpasses Cologne, if not in the number, at least in the intensity and the noxiousness to health of its evil We have the smoke always with us, to begin with, which, as London continues to grow, and sea-coal is burnt in open fire-places, most stupidly constructed, must necessarily increase in volume and in poisonous attributes every year. We have still, to judge from its color, a river which is terribly polluted, and in which, below bridge, few fish can live; and where there is pollution of water unpleasant odors must necessarily follow. The main drainage is, no doubt, a magnificent engineering work, but our house drainage is still lamentably imperfect, and our dust bins are so many hot-beds of disease, the perils of which are aggravated by tardiness of dust contractors, the extortions of dustmen, and the apparently incorrigible laziness of servants. Our greatness as a commercial and manufacturing metropolis demands that we should carry on within our borders such industries as the boiling and burning of bones, the making of glue, size, white lead, leafher, varnish, tallow and chemical manures; and it would be interesting to ascertain how many millions of feet of carburetted hydrogen and carbonic acid gas there are liberated every year from the furnace of our gas-works and the “fermenting squares” of our breweries. There is not a railway station in London that is not a focus of more or less pestilent smell. There is not a mews behind an aristocratic square or street that is not a hot-house of unhealth v odors.— London Time*.

FACTS FOR THE CUBIOUS.

Im one grove in California are 1,889 trees, none measuring less than six feet in diameter. Tub dog, which fs apparently tormented by the notes of a soprano voice, remains undisturbed by those of a bass voice. A thermometer, plunged in the snow to the depth of four inches, will mark nine degrees more heat than at the surface. The AHti m soil of the Siberian coast never ttrws to a depth of more than two feet even during the greatest heat of summer. Small sponges often fix themselves to living shells, and Dr. Johnston tells us that he once met with a sponge on thfe back of a crab, which waited about quite unconcerned withits lighvburden, though it was many times larger than itself. The sea-urchin has several movable spines. Each spine looks very knowing, and apparently makes its own little excursions without regard to what th< other spines are doing. In large specimens, where ** claws 'can be seen round the surfME the effect is very oomic.d.

In one tigress was reported toWMßmkd 127 people in one year, and Stowed a public road for sew eral weeks, fn another case, a singly tigress caused the desertion of thirteen villages, and 250 square miles of country were thrown out of cultivation. Government reports show that in Lower Bengal about 2,000 persons are killed every year by wild animals, nearly half of whom are victims erf the ferocious tiger. _ Enervating, drugs are freely used in cigarettes to disguise the poor quality erf the tobacco. Opium and valerian are especially mentioned. What is called “ Hava'na flavoring ” has grown to be an important article of com merce. Thousands of barrels of it are sold everywhere. It is extensively used in manufacturing certain kinds of cigarettes. It is made from the tonoa-bean, which contains a drug called mellolotis, a deadly poison, seven grains of which will kill a dog. The immense herds, now aggregating 20,000,000 which roam over the pampas of the Argentine Republic and comprise, with the sheep, most of the wealth of that country, are all descended from eight cows and a bull which two Portuguese brothers, named Goes, took to tl# Spanish colony there in 1553. It is only within a few years that any effort has been made to improve the mnch-jA. preciated stock of the country. As yet only a few cattle near Buenos Ayres have been crossed with short-horn breeds.

Leeches are among the curious pests which swarm in the moist places ot a Malay jungle. Directly the earth trembles with a man's step, the leeches stretch themselves out in savage thirst, By some means they manage to make a lodgement on his body. He may not feel them at first, but when, at his journey’s end he strips for a bath, he finds a score or more of the little blood-suck-ers fastened to his legs and gorged with their sanguinary dinner. He pussies his head in vain to discover how they managed to get up his trousers-legs. But on resuming his journey, he ties his trousers tightly round the ankle, places them In his boots, which he anoints an abomination to the little pests. Only in this way may they be kept off ths person.
