The average Reminglonsan crieth with a loud voice for a daily newspaper. Somebody of a starving torn of mind should put his “shoulder-blade*” to tbe wheel and roll oat a first-class daily. * By the provisions of tbe new law, passed by Congress last winter, all postage must be prepaid by the publishers after January 1, 1875. A great many have or will raise the price of their publications to defray this extraexpense, but the price of the Republican will still continue to he the s une as heretofore—sl.so per annum, in advance.

An Eastern exchange says that there is a queer railroad trouble in Indiana.— A road being in debt for $2,500 worth of unpaid tax®, the Sheriff of the town where they are due is trying to attach a locomotive. The law does not allow him to take the locomotive of a mail train, and now the freight trains do not stop at that town, but run slowly through, all hands deriding the Sheriff, who sees no way to -secure his locomotive.

About 8 A. M. last Thursday,Level Mead, aged about 25, a single mah, living with his father on Murgan Prairie, in this county, fell from the fence upon a Hay knife so that it cut through his right breast into the lungs and stomach. Being alone he rose and walked about eight rods to Mr. Weiderman’s gate, wheu he f.ll from feintne?s, and was taken home where died the evening of, the same day. He was a granger, and his funeral conducted by the Washington Grange at Luther’s School House last Sunday. The same young man is said to have suffered several misfortunes during 'bis life, and, among others, one a year two ago, in having his band shot and permanently crippled.— Abundanoe of pity for his fate aod sympathy with his mourning relatives are felt by the community around. — Valparaiso Vidette t A good little boy undertook to come the George Washington on his toother this way: He cut off the cat’s head with the traditional hatchet, and then bid kite defunct feline in the meal barrel.

He '.7 JU.’V • mw *. .V “I did it, mother; vrrth'roy little hatchet, but I’ll be if I .can tell the whole truth about this little affair.” s. Now most mothers would have kissed that brave, truthful boy on his noble brow, and kept right oh using the meal out of that barrel just .the jsame; but this one didn’t. She said: ' “Come across my lap, my son; corns across my lap.” . ir He came, and for awhile there rose a cloud of dust from the seat of bis trowsers that effectually hid. the son from view, and the old lady now sports goggles, and ia lavish ia the use of eye salve. That good little boy had pej>persf the seat of his pants.” /
