C H. BINGHAM, Editor. -BUOOKVILLEFrlday Morning. March 10, 1871i j Meeting of Central Comrai"t. There will be a meeting ol'tke Ilepubli can Conntj Central Committee at the office of Binktey & Jooee. on Saturday, March 11, 1871, at 1 o'clock P. M. A general attendance is rcqnested. . R. II. Swift, Chairman. Ctisnge in Receivership. William T. Boss has given up bis place as Receiver of tie Indianapolis, Cincinnati & Lafayette Railroad Company in favor of M. M. K. Ingalb, President of the Toal. The change was brought about l.y the desire of ttio Kastera interest in fie road to hse a representative in the teceiverthip. The committee of ihe Board cf Directors expressed themselves in terms ef high commendation of the manner in which Mr. Boaz had discharged his duties ' Lent. Wednesday, the 22d of February, was, according to the calendar, Ash Wednesday, the first djy of the long yearly fast called Leot a season ia the Episcopal nd RoaiR Catholic communions ofpeciiar humiliation, fastiag and prayer. Among the Romanists it ia a time of penitential sorrow and mortification, a period when no animal food or wine ia allowed by the canons of the church, and when all public festivities and private entertainmentfl are interdicted, atid even marriage is not permitted to be solemnized. The fat of Lent, which derives its name from tie seaBon at which it is held, in the spring, at the time of the days' lengthen, inq the word lengten-tide in the old Sax on signifyng spring-time was instituted to "commemorate the sorrows of the Lord Jesus; to follow the example of His forty days' fust, and especially to keep in vivid remembrance His roost blessed passion and death." It was thought a fit discipline to precede the Jubilee of Easter, the day ce ebrated as that of Christ's resurrection. In England, where the Episcopal Church is the church established by law and united to the Government, the Queen being the head, Lent is more strictly kept than among those of the same communion with us. . In the High Church, public festivities are forbidden; marriages, except ii cases of necessity, are not solemnized; there are no great parties or ball?; there is a lull in .what is called society, while the churches are open, and there are services daily. The forty days of fasting over, Easter comes in, the night of the year has passed, and man, regenerated by long abstinence, prayer and the contemplation of heavenly things, rejoices with nature in the resurrection. All things are new, and with them commences a new spiritual life. The State election in New Hampshire ccurs on the 14th inst., and that of Con aecticut on the first Monday in April. The German troops have all left Paris. The evacuation terminated at 11 o'clock A. M. on Friday, in accordance with the terms of the convention. The Investigating Committee of the Nebraska Legislature last week reported Governor Butler had been guilty of dishonest acts, and the House thereupon by a vote of thirty. one to six impeached him. The suit of Virginia against West Vir. ginia for the possession of the two counties of Berkeley and Jefferson, has been decided by the Supraie Ciurt in favor of West Virginia. The London Ti itfs publishes a dispatch from Versailles that the prescribed limits of France arc being rapidly evacuated by the German army. The movement is c n ducted qnietly and with admirable order. The impq.tchmcnt of Governors is now the order of the dy. Governor Holden of X.te Cirolina, Governor CUjton of Arkana4, (j ivjror 1 itler of Nebraska, and the Governor of Florid, are all laborlog under the ban of itnptch-ui-tt. The impeachment of a number of others is threatened. v The Washington Star thinka that, aside from the feud between In litn and Ohio politiein. Mr Its-ilrieks is probibly the tronget Pre!

The French Assembly has ratified the terws of peace by a vot 546 to 107.'

An early adjournment of Congress considers! certain. Ifl Berlin was brilliantly illuminated Sttotdav night. on Subscriptions to the French relief fund in New York city amount to 116,000. In two years, a Republican Administration has redaced the pablio debt 8204,754,413. Prince Frederick Charles has been appointed Comroau Jer-io-Chief of the German army of occupation in France, with his headquarters at Rhetms. At noon on Saturday, the Forty-first Congress expired, and the Forty-second came upon the stage of action. The officers of the House remaining unchanged New Hampshire, Connecticut, Texas and California are as yet ore presented. No material change in the committees is anticipated, except such as are made necessary by the going out of old members and the coming in of new ones. The troubles in Arkansas teem to be subsiding. The Board of Maoagers appointed by the House of Representatives reported that on carefully examining the subject they fiud insufficient grounds for impeachment. Governor Clayton, in order to prevent a Democrat from occupy ing the gubernatorial chair, declines the United States Senatorship. The Lieut. Governor, it will be remembered, waselected as a Republican, but has since aposta tited. The Roman Catholic dignitaries cf this country are evidently fearful that Victor Emmanuel, in spite of his protestations of liberaliry, will not give the Pope a very generous support. It may be, too, that they think that material aid will help on the movement for the restoration of his Holiness now said to be maturing in Belgium. At all events, the faithful are exhorted to give largely to the Pope, and anticipate the annual collection in June. Archbishop Spaulding, of Baltimore, recommends the ladies to devote half of their superfluous jewelry to the necessities of the Holy Father. The same bad beeu or will be done in other dioceses. Correspondence of the Indiana American. Counting the Cost.' That homely old adage, "Be sure you are right, then go ahead," with its twiu "Look before you leap," will sooner or later meet with the approval of every man's experience. Many a disaster in the different departments of life might have been prevented by the thoughtful application of these maxims. What important interests cling around almost every duty of life! How small a neglect of duty on the one hand, and how compiratively small the attention to duty on the other, has been fraught with future life sorrows or joys. Innumerable illustrations rise up before the mind of every mantram boat disasters, railroad collisions, loss of health and of property, families left beggars or well provided for by negleet or attention to little things. These thoughts have been suggested to the mind of your correspondent by the fact of a contemplated visit to the great West, and partly from the consideration of a higher wisdom, which teaches that no man should attempt "to build a house without setting down andcouiting whether be is able to finish, lest when he has commenced he fail, and his neighbor mock him, saying, this man began to build and was not able to fi'iish, &c." Counting the cost, is the true, real du'y of man; whether you apply it to things of of this life or Oiat one to come. No enterprise of lifo upon which we may enter, but may cost us our all; hence no man should begin to build without a reasonable prospect of being able to finish. No man is justified in leaving his home and ho:ne interests without first sitting diwnaui counting the cost, canvassing the whole field, and providing as far as possible for all probable contingencies. Many men richly provide for family-and home when present, but who, wbeu tney leave for business or pleasure, take no thought of the disastrous conMngencies that may arise during their ab-ence an absence which, with themselves, or some member of their family, or some important interest, may ! 1 . f ., , ... ! forever, ju uiesc uavs of tai livm I nd rapid traveling, how many a separa- J uou uas occurred won me jyiui hone ot meeting after a f?w days of business duty, and that sepirati.ui bas proved to be the last. Dr. Guthrie somewhere savs: It is a dreadful thing to see the happi ness of a human being like a brittle vase shattered at a blow. It ia more painful still to have to strike thst blow. With reluctant stvp I have approached the home of a young wift ,to communicate tidings of j her husband's death. There is not a clou i in that Summer sky, nor as she tLioks in hers. The air riusis with ths nn of - m.-ivvw auv umi(:ii ,0 meet htm, I was ready to cry, 'Alas! I my rtauahtei! and when the truth was lt!jf ,Le kife pttnge1 int0 b heart j

she springing to her feet, with one wild, piercing hrtek, dropped oa the floor at mine a senseless form I felt it bard to have such offices to do.. 1 could not give her back her dead, nor at her wild entreaties unsay the dreadful truth, or admit, poor soul! that t was playing with her fears." How true a picture ef many such scenes ia these days! It may be said by some to be the part of weakness to muse thus, bat Wtj regard it as the part of wisdom, and have for our authority the highest sanction. Let every man make the most of life; let every man be happy. But how men can be happy with the neglects that characterize many in their relation to the duties of this life and thit to come, we cannot understand. He is best prepared to enjoy life, who feels I have counted the

cost, I have provided as far as possible for the contingencies of the future. The first great duty of man is the care of his soul and the spiritual welfare of his family. No man, o leaving his home, cat leave behind him a richer legacy than the assurance of a good hope of haeven. The second duty is to look well to the financi.il welfare of his family. What an essay might be written upon the disastrous consequences resulting to many a family by the careless negligence of the parent leaving home. Reader, can you call up any such? An instance occurs to my own mind of a case in which the father had partly laid the foundation for the future comfort of his family, but failing to provide for tl e last payment on his prop erty, and not living to return, the whole was lost. The deficiency could have been provided for in some reliable Life Insurance Conpany or Association, and saved in the instance referred to much ofsuffering and sorrow to that family. But I am not writing in the interest of any Life Insurance Co., and lest I grow proy 1 will eay I am off for Kansas, and promise you more anon. G. W. P. Tribute of Respect.

Whereas, It hath pleased Almighty God, the Giver of all things, to take away from us our friend and brother Thomas Tagne, who having just passed the meridian of li'e, endeared as he was to a large circle of friends and acquaintances, is another evidence of one of those mysterious dispensations of Divine PaoviJence which we should lay to heart, thereby reminding us that in the midst of life wo are in death, so that when the silver cord is loosed and the golden bowl be broken, we should be ready and be prepared to meet our God in that glorious Celestial Lidire above where the Supreme Architect of the Universe presides. And though we mourn the loss of our departed brother, we yet remember that God is too wise to err and too good to be unkind. Therefore, be it resolved, whilst we bow in humble submission to this dispensation of the great t Am, we trust that our loss is our brother's gain, and mingle our sympathies with his heart stricken and bereaved family, poiutiug aud dircctiug them to Uiua who doetu all thiugs well He who tempers the wiud to the shorn lamb, and who has promised to be a husband to the widow and a father to the orphan. Resolved, That in the death of Bro. Tague the community has lost one of its most useful, energetic, thorough business men; his couutry a true and loyal citizen, our Fraternity a worthy member; and ahove'all, hb family a greater loss that ot a kind and affectionate huibaud and a tender and loving father. Resolved, That we return our thanks to tha bretbicn from our sister Lodges in attending the fuucral of our deceased brother. Resolved, That the furniture and jewels of this Lodge be draped in mourning for thirty days in memory of the deceased.
