"We will next week publish a list of the Township Trustees and Assessors successful at the late election. ......... 4* -■ - .... The result of last Monday’s election does not change the political complexion of the Board of Township .trustees. It is a p ty that there are not a few Grover Clevelands scattered throughout the country in the capacity of Governors of States. AVils Porter is not at all satisfied with th } war record manufactured for him by our friend George.— AVe onderstad he has directed his children to point the finger of scorn at our neighbor.

During a religious revival at Milford, Pa., a fashionable summer resort, the daughter of a miserable drunkard became interested and was a regular attendant. The ladies have now notified her that .she must dress in better style or discontinue her attendance. . “The Sentinel knows that the tee books in the Clerk’s office will show that durfng the incumbency ot said Democratic Clerk, that paper received at least half of the printing referred to.”—Rensselaer Republican. How natural for a Republican editor to lie. The very reverse is the fact. — 0 An old soldier writing from Washington City, D. C., under date of March 24th, 1880, to the Cincinnati Enquirer, says: “My attention having been called to several paragraphs in the papers in regard tu the amount of work performed Jby Messrs. Harrison, Logan and Holman for the gallant soldiers of our country, I beg leave tc state that I have been in a position for years to know that there are others who should wear the laurels claimed by those mentioned above. I can assert positively that the Hon. D. W. Yoorhees has presented more claims for our soldiers than any five Senators and Congressmen of the present Congress. On Tuesday, the 2d of March, lie presented fifty-three claims for pensions, all from Dearborn county, Ind. If there are any that can show as good a record in behalf of the soldiers, let him step to the front and make himself known,”

W hebeas, a conspiracy has been formed by the coal-carrying companies to limit the supply of anthracite coal, and thereby maintain prices against consumers; thereforo be it resolved, that the duty of seventy-five cents a ton on coal be and is hereby repealed —[Philad lphia Becord. The Indianapolis News (Bepublican) adds: That is very much to the point. The first blow to be struck at these coal monopolists who decree how much, or rather how little, coal shall be taken out of the ground, and thus enforce idleness upon the miners (last year they averaged in Pennsylvania 110 idle days), and compel the people c f the country to pay extortionate prices for coal, is to break down this fine of 75 cents a ton, which the law exacts of everybody who buys coal of anybody except this millionaire monopolistic coa! pool. The ten coal barons who thus protected, met at Mr. Pierrepont Morgan’s New York palace the other night and s.rnt forth the decree spoken, represent individually, according to figures in the New York World, wealth to the amount of $30, 000,000, and as heads of corporations which enforce their decree,represent we dth to the amount of $658, 000,000. — Th se things can be, and yet we hear the twaddle that there is no such thing as a conflict between capital and labor in free AmericaThis sort of thing causes great fatigue.

In a Hopeless Minority.

Among the Bev. Henry Ward Beecher’s many accomplishments not the least is his ability as a sto-ry-teller. To mnch amused listeners ne recently told this one abont a New York drnmmer. A typical “knight of the gripsack” was detained at a small town in western New Y ;rk awhile ag > where a revival meeting was in progress. He had met a party of convival friends during his stay there, and had wliat is popularly known as “a load 0n.”," Nevertheless he dr-fted into the revival meeting and took a seat well up in front. It was rather close in the church, and the warm air was conducive to sleep. The drnmmer yielded to the drowsy god, and after nodding a little sank into a profound slumber and slept thro’ the minister’s rather long and dry discourse. The audience sung a hymn and the drnmmer slept on. Then tho evangelist began his address, and wound up his fervid appeal with this request: “Will all of you who want to go to heaven please rise up.” Everyone in the church except the sleepy drummer arose. When t e evangelist asked them to be seated, one of the b T others in the same pew as the sleeping drummer, accidentally brushed against him as he sat down. The drummer rubbed his eyes, and partially a wane, heard the last portion of the evangelist’s request, which was: “Now I want all of you who want to go to hell to stand up.” The drummer struggled a little, leaned forward nnsteadily and rose from his seat in ». azed sort of a way. A sort of suppressed laugh he heard from some of the younger pcop e, and an expression of horror he noticed on the faces of some of the older ones. Steadying himself against the rail lie looked at the evangelist an instant, and then said: “Well, parson, I don’t know just exactly what we are voting on, but you and I seem to be in a hopeless minority.” Matt Mitchell Boone died at the residence of his uncle, B. F. Priest, in Bensselaer, on '"uesday last, in the 9th year of his age.— Funeral services were held at the the residence of Mr. Priest, Bev. B. F. Ferguson officiating. Mrs. Boone is a sister of Mrs. Priest, and has been visiting at this place for a number of weeks. Mr. Boone, located in a telegraph Office in Memphis, Tennessee, reached Rensselaer but a few hours before the' death of his child.

WALKER ITEMS.

Democracy in the ascendancy. At the town meeting in this township yesterday the best of order and good feeling prevailed, and resulted as follows: Frederick S. Meiser, Democratic candidate for Trustee, was elected over W\ Stockwell, by 6 majority. James W. Spriggs the Democratic candidate for Assessor was e ectedover W. Kennedy by twen-ty-seven majority. Albert Lurnes, the Bepublican candidate for J ustice of the Peace, was elected over Bhoads by one majority; and Drobably both Bepublican candidates for Constable were elected —cannot give their majorities at this writing. There was, we believe, 112 votes polled. Meiser received lif-ty-eigiit: AV. Stockwell fifty-two; Joseph Tanner one: James W. Spriggs sixty-nine v v. Kennedy forty-two; Albert Lumes fifty-two: Bhoads fifty-one; John F. Pettit sixty-four. We cannot give the number of votes McNeil, tho other Bepublican candidate for constablo, receeived

Boads very bad. Business is brisk in our little town. There has been veiy little farmwork done in this township this spring. Mr. J. Arnold, of Wabash, was visiting his father, A. Arnold, last Sat rday and Sunday. S. B. Jenkins was so unfortunate as to lose a valuable horse last week. There is talk of a new postmaster at this place in the near future. Mr. William Pullins is suffering greatly from a cut foot which, it is feared, will result seriously. J. 1. Burns has built a large shed in accordance with his desire to have ample room for his large amount of machinery. The old time amusement of “swinging on the front gate” is being revived little too early, as the danger of late frosts is not yet past. Garden making i in fair play now among the ladies of our community, and all they seem to want is plenty of good seeds, moist earth and two or three favora; le signs. One of the happiest men to be round anywhere is A. H. Arnold, and all because there came to his home a few days ago a bouncing girl, and Andrew now sleeps a smilin’. Jolk. Frazee is building a very neat barn on his farm, one-and-a-half miles south of this city. Geo. Andrews and son are doing the work. George Becd’s smiles are as bland and bright as the bottom of a new dish-pan—all on account of a boy Quite a polar wave swept over Nubbin Bidge to-day. Frank Goff now sleeps without snoring because lie is the father of another boy. “Old Mossy.” April 6th, 1886.
