Sketch S.—Mrs. S»i»!ii Heasner Sugarcreek Township

Mrs. Sophia E. Reasner, of Sugarcreek towns-hip, was busily at work when our reporter called to interview her pertaining to the experiences iu her long life of over 80 years. The Atlantic ocean separ ates her from the waving fields, grassy valleys, the sunny hill sides, and tlie modest little burial ground that contains the dust of many of her ancestors, in the Father Land (t.-rniany) She having heeu born there March 11, 1811, in Fn 11a Furstauthum Schamburg Lippa. Her inaideu name was Klapper. When she was in her i'Oth year, she in company with a number of her friends started to America. Her future husband then her lover being one of the company. She and her husband C. H. Reasner were married about three months after reaching America. They came to Marion county, Ind and worke as servants at a tavern in Iu dianapolis, that stood where the New York store now stands. She did the washing and the general work about the hotel and her husbiud blacked boots aud did all other chores that he could get to do. Work was scarce as Indianapolis was but a village of a few houses, his wages were 25 to 50 cents per day. A short time alter the Falicreek caual was begun she and her husband contracted to do the cooking for the canal men, at which hey were tngageo for 2 years. The canal beiug finished, and emigrants entering laud auay irotu Indianapolis, they moved to Sugarcreek township 3 miles uorth of what is now .\t-" 1 ., 1. i^ne, her 1 nt home. They entered 80 acres of laud in a dense lorest. wh» re the thick fining- "f grape vines and timber made it almost impossible to see t.iie sky. They on it them a cabin, she assisting in the building after which they began housekeeping iu earnebt. "She spuu flax and worked diligently with her hands," and rocked tlie rude cradle to the screaming of the wild cats and the gobble of the wild turkejsand her husband was workiug in the timber. They ate wild meat, corn, rye brea*! etc. Her husband w.xild no to Indianapolis to work in the winter time, and she stayed alone with her children iu ''The Log Cabin iu the clearing." To 1 hem eight children were born four of whom dttitl, a daxgnter and three sous are still living. She drove to Indianapolis on Saturdays with her butter, eggs, and such ''garden truck" as they could spare, not missing over 30 Saturdays in as many year*. She drove one bay mure ''Old Puss" for 2d years, and did not miss scarcely a Saturday in the whole time having carried thousands of dollars worth of produce, for which she was paid cash. During the war she sold many a pound of butter for 50 cents per pound. When the draft came on her sou *A llliam beiug a young man was drafted, aud she helped pay a large poruon of $1,150 which was paid for a substitute for him, also paying the tuition for her children iu a priv.tte German school, besides losing $1000 fctock in the old National Road. Her husbaud after many years of trials aud viciss:tudes of pioneer life, coupled with the joys aud pleasures attending the rearing of a family iu the wilderness, died 16 years ago last fall, after having fought a good fight aud leaving a uice well cultivated and fertile farm for the maintenance of the wife a. children. She has had but little sickness iu her life having been a busy and industrious worker all the time. Of her four living children, her daughter is the wife of Gustavus Schrum, a wealthy and influential German farmer living near her Wm. F. Reasner is married and living at Indianapolis, and is doing nicely Christian F. lives at home Henry C. lives near smother on a good farm of his own, he also tills his mother's farm, he is prosperous and a first-class citizen. The old lady cannot read English but can speak it very well. Of her grandchildren there are 21 living. She is remarkably active both mentally and physically for one of her age. She has been a member of the German Lutheran church most all her life. Has been a faithful wife and a loving mother and when she is called to that bourne from wheuce. no traveller returns, it can be said of her "Enter into the joys of thy Lord."

SKETCH NUMBER THREE. CHRISTIAN F. HOFF OF SUGARCREBK V? TOWNSHIP.

About four miles north-west of New Palestine aud eighty rods off from the main road, behind a forest of big white oak timber, may be foand the home of the subject of this sketch. He can be seen most any day sitting on his broad porch, with his staff in his hand, endeavoring to extract as much comfort as possible from life, being both blind and deaf. He was born in Prussia, Germany, Octobcy 17th, 1808, and was married to CI

Scrattier, there, in 1824. He WHS a tailor and worked on a fishing boat twentyfonr years. He emigrated to America, with his family, in 1840 Six children were born to them, oue of them, the oldest MIII, died in Germany. After arriving here he worked at caualing fonr years His second son died here, aud the third died of cholera during the cholera plague that swept over this country iu 1850 The fourth was killed by the cars while walk ing on the railroad at St. Louis, Mo, He has one son, B"redrick, with whom he is living, aud a daughter, who is married to a gentleman bv the name of Wempener, now living in .Marion county. He had 40 acres of land, and the son has since added 60 more. The old gentleman is hearty and vigorous aud bids fair to live a long time yet. He has been a member of the German Lutheran church for many years. He is now in his 88th ear, aid his mental faculties are souud and unim paired. He seems lonely however, as he was deprived of his life mpanion 19 years ago. He has been a quiet, peaceable citizeu all his life, a hard worker, and uow as his work is about done and his race nearly run, it is sad that he is deprived of his sight aud hearing, and cannot look ou the fruits of his toil and enjoy the joyous not of the spring songsters. He pa tiently awaits the dawning of a brighter day, as they all are uow dark to liim.

In driving hither and thither this week down iu Sugarcreek I eiK*ounteied Win. Rusbatip, one the most, progressive and enterprising of Sugarcreek farmers, aud it is needless to sa\ that I added his name 'o our list, as he had been contemplating it some time. He has a tine home jui west of New Palestine.

Heury Eickiuau alsocusrnted to try it. It is a pleasure to add the names of such gentlemen as the above to our list. A sketch of the life of his age I mother will be found in the Pioneer Sketches soon.

Iu town I learned that Eliz ibeth Haines was quite sick at the home of her sou-in •aw J. L. MeCune, Andrew Ham had been called upfront Cincinnati on account of hei illness. John Haines of Gent am! F. M. Haines of Carrol I ton are her sons.

John Huber sat down and talked for a few minutes when I went in, and said lie hid lost more time than he had for a month. He did not say it grudgingly though. John likes to be busy and i-4 seldom idle in this manner. He has built, up a splendid blacksmith and implement trade.

Ben Schildmeier is building up a flue business as I predicted lie would. He has adopted the sensible policy of studying the requirements of his customers and keeping the article iu stock. He beeps a tvell selected stock of ail things pertaining to the hardware business, with the Woods uiower and binder in connection.

When the welcome and long wished for rainfall begun last week a man was heard to remark that he would not be surprised if there would be a long wet spell, beginning to grumble bout, wet weather before the dust of a long drought was dampened. Men from all parts of the Slate remarked that the fruit was all killed aud this iu connection with the drought would surely produce a famine in the land. All kiuds of dreary broodings have been indulged in, yet the righteous have not been forsaken nor is his seed begging bread. The prospect- of a bountiful harvest of grain, fruit and vegetables was uever better at this time of year. We area rice of dissatisfied, discontented people, complaining of the arrogance anI heartlessuess of our neighbor, ot his hypocrisy, of his unfitness for the posihe occupies in business or social circles, and even 1, as Rambler for tliecouutj's best uewspaper, with one of the most kind hearted aud uncomplaining employers, perhaps am not as contented as 1 should be We complain of disappointments when small ones occur and feel tii it we are of all persons most miserable and perhaps it, is so. Tne rain falls at the wrong time or don't fall at all, all the seasons of the year come in for their share of rebuke from the sons and daughters of men all who have their minds set 011 some one of this worlds treasures, curse even the elemeuts if he imagines they stand a hindrance in his path. I)is appoint a man of wealth, and he mourns as if the highest aim ol life was defeated. I point to 110 unheard of experience when I say he had rather die than ltve Many who are enjoying the blessings of health are dissatisfied. Some tioni ungrateful friends, others from unkind relations or rich mans arrogance, become weary of such society aud broken in spirit seek among strangers a home and a resting place and spend the remnaut of lite with melancholy hearts, toiling from day to day for a miserable support, and not 1111frequently without shelter in a limine of sickuess or affliction. The poor Indian turns from the busy scenes of the white man, and looks for happiness in the wilderness amid his native hills, seeking a precarious pittance iu the labors of the chase. He is startled at the rustle of a leaf, and hears the voice of the Manitau in every breeze, and even the man "that aims at moral improvement, finds tie powers he would dedicate to God, alloyed by the temptations of a sinful world. Then let him who would secure that portion of happiness which si ill remains to mortals lean on superhuman power, supplicate the aid of Him who said "He would not break the bmised reed, or quench the smoking flax"—bear the ills of life with manly fortitude, grateful for what is given hint by G« 1 knows best what he needs, and watch the approach of death as a signal which calls him from a troubled conflict, content for the "Wind to blow where it listeth." Contentment and an ability to pass ovet trouble lightly, are the jewels that shine most brightly in mens* lives and illumine the pathway of others. RAMBLER.

Sunday-School Meeting at Maxwell. The Sunday-school celebration which was held here Saturday was a success. The rain and cool weather prevented hundreds from attending, aud also the exercises having to be held in the church bouse, which of course could not begin to hold the people. The schools from Eden and Willow Branch were preseut and rendered some excellent music. Hon David S. Gooding and Quitman Jacksoi of Greenfield, Rev. Green of McCordsville, and a number of «ther speakers were present. We extend our hearty thanks 'o the Eden aud Willow Brauci schools and to the speakers who assisted us in the celebration aud would be gla to welcome them back again Had tin day not been so disagreeable, a mucl

larger crowd would have been here am

everyone who attended seemed to be wel pleased and enjoying a good titne. Th best of order prevailed throughout. A the church, which was densely crowded, the best of order prevailed, and those whcould not get in the house amused them selves by boat-riding on the lake:
