March came in like r- roaring Hon. ' .... . Sleighing iragiun the . _er of th- k?y. This is the sth day of the ted >pr ng month. Mr. Thomas .L Spitler died on the Ist ins Hntj Our sireete were ice-Cjverad early Monday morn ng. During the mo th of February, eight marriage licences were issue!. Turkeys and chickens camo to this market last SJurday in abundance. Mr. Thomas McO>y is at heme nursing a felon tn the thumb of his right baud. The auctioneer recognizes no authorityThe more you bid him the mere he won't stop.

In some of the n w stales there is no change. Foor relatives are cut the same as last ye.ir. There isfcthne for ail things. The time to kava is when a young lady asks you how the walking is. Combination only increases the quantity of qualities combined. Seventy fools are n wiser than one fpol. The winters “backbone’’ is convalescing; in fact, on Wednesday, it teemed as ifithad entirely recovered. Owing to the violence of the snow storm, the Remington mail d d not arrive in this place on Wednesday. Mr. George Ke&ok-r, ono of cur worthy Commissioner’s, gave the Betveljcan office a call on Tue day. A foreign doctor has expressed the opinion that the drinking of coffee invigorates and improves the sigh'. It has been truthfully ascertained that the earth in this vicinity contains frost to the depth of three an.l a ha'f feet. On Monday, April sth, the Auditor and Treasurer o Jasper county will offer for sale a lot of school lands. See advertisement. It is sa d that the late heavy sleet has broken the 1 nibs off of a gieat many fruit trees in Jasper county, thereby causing considerable d mage. A correspondent asks if it is justice to exclude a ntan from the bar wh< n he has ten cents to pay for his gin, and Can the Legislature mend his constitution after being violated wi h free rum? The curret t copper cent is a convenient :n arare of length when rales are not pres. ; eat ; four of th cm edge to edge measures just three inches. — Three marriage J.eenees have been issued rar Lil retort, to-wit: David A. J ■ -Ml. Horner and Catherine Ilavenscroft; Charles W. Titrrooi s and A. Walder. On Monday the ‘ sorrowing pedestrian would take an unwilling seat occasionally, caused Ly the slippery cau iition of lire sidewalks, nttd the streets as well. It is said that two Plymouth lovers will sit dp half the night v.ith only one chair in the room, Lut that is easily explained by any one who Las been here. A sewing machine is an absolute nccesity in every family. In tn iking a selection do not fail to examine the Weed. C. W. CUfj tea, agent. Rensselaer, Ind. Neither th January nr the February “thaw” “panned out” very extensively; and from present ( Wednesday] appearances it isn’t at all jikely that we'll Lave’ a March thaw. The paragraphers are sympathizing with a Virginia man who > as spent t n thousand dollars for morphia for his wife in the la»t twenty years. But think < f the quiet nights that man has had. Mr. Harry Wardel has opened a barber shopin jhe Kansas City Hotel. He will also do hair working of all kinds and desires the ladies to bring him their combings if they want nice switches The revival meetings still continue, and are increasing in interest. There hare been a number of conversions, and the prospects are favorable fur a continuance of the meetings through next week. An old weather prognostic ator inform* us that we will have frost ia this region about the 23d ot 24th day of June, as a result of the lightning in Feb uary. It is to be hoped that he is a false prophet. It is said that W«ahington drew his last breath in tue last hour, of the last day, of of the last week, in the last mouth of the year, and in the last year oi the century — Saturday night, twelve o’clock, Dec. 31, 1799. A man stopping his paper wrote: “I think folks ot’ent to spend thar munny fora paypor, my dadda didn’t and everybody Bed he was the intelligentest nun in the countryanti bad the smartest family of bois that over du 5 taters.” It’s perfectly absurd to taik about a woman’s being qua iflod to fill every position in life that man fills. For iu.-tance, wbat woman could lounge all day around the stove in a country grocery and lie about thnumber of fishes she caught last summer ? Breyer’s Dramatic Company will give ans exhibition at the Court Rouse in. Rensselaer, next Monday evening, March 8, 1875. Th-imerestingdramacntitled “Fanchon the cricket," will b« played in five acts Admission 50 cents. Children under 12 years <Jf ago 25 cents. Doors open- at 7 o’clock.—■ Performance to commence at 8 o’clock This conpa y is well spoken of by different parties, and we think we can recomend it as be- j ing simply grand

Tri' i’ ’ ' ’ he prk! is cal rd a ■ib-gcri’ r?- S It the whiteness of the complexion. We do nut know h w the collar would effect the complexion of a colored woman, however. 'J&.t’harles Hathaway and Mr. G. F. Bicorn, oi Riibfngt&n,'' were tn tewn last Saturday; and they rid not forget to give the Republican office a eall. Wc are always glad to have our old friends pay us a riaiL CtH again, gentlemen when you find you can conveniently. Says the KeutTanO Gazelie. A letter from our brother at Santa Barbara. California, rep rt* theyuung lamb s ripping upon the green sward ; m-w potatoes, ra Idiwhes ami krmlre i “garden sass" in abundance, with a gentle sea breeze to fan the heat ->i air and render i tea week Hitii doora un-i windows open, they “aßifi” the ar,»m> t L ted Trom the orange grov- s, wbde we are freezing. Still Tas Cby is for the wils n Shuttle Sewing Machine. And why? Because it is t.'.e most perfect and desirable Sewing Mach ne for family use and ma-ufac'urmg yet invented, and is the chea. eat. Thcons.aut demand for this valuable machine has made it almost impossible for the manufacturers to supply the demand. Machines will be delivered atany Railroad Station in this county, free of transportation charges, if ordered through he Company'sBranch House at 197 State St., Chicago, 111. They send an elegant cata ogue and chromo circular free on application. This Company want a few more good agents.

If church societies would tuke charge of dancing parties, there would be much less rowdyism and vulgarity among them. Perhaps if churches Would encourage the p- pu--I>r an usetnent, they might rid it of much that is object! >nable,— Elkhart Heview. This is entirely too sensible a thing for church societies to undertake in these hackwoods. They do it down east.— Goshen Dancing at church parties is an inmnvat.on rather startling to our early cultured sciences, but is inaugurated to a limited extent in ‘.his vicini y, incurring very little such denunciation from the pulpit ns it formerly received.— Vidette. Exactly; and church societies might “take charge” of saloons as well, ana “rid them of much that is objectionable.’’

Died.—Athis residence in Rensselaer, Indiana, on Monday March Ist, 1875, Mr. Thomas J. Spitler, aged 35 years and ’V months, f uneral hum lesidcuceon Tuesday, March 2i,at 2 i’. M. Was interred in Westen Cemetery, with a large con ourse of peo le in attendance. Mr. Spitler had been a resident of Rensselaer for a number of years, and bee use ol bis good qualities had a great many warm friends., He was a man whose business integri y was unquestionable. Ilia numerous friends deeply regret his death and tender their sympathy to his mo nningfamily. Mr. Spitler was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the members of the Order in this place kindly officiated at his funeral, and with their sjow, solemn tread bo e the remains of their lamented bi other t its laet rest inc place. II re is tho sensible soliloquy of a six year old boy: “I wonder what makes papa tell such nice stories to his visitors about his hiding the master’s rattan when he went to school, and about his running away from the school mistress, when she was going to whip him, and then shut me up in a uark room, because I tried just once to be us smart as he has been? Wonder what made papa say that wicked word, when Betsey upset the ink all over h>B papers, and then slapped my ears when I eaid the same thing when my kite string b oko? Wonder why mamma told Bridget the other day, to say she was not nt home when Tummy Day’s mother called, aitd then puts me to bed without my supper every time I tell a lie 7 O dear! there are are lots of things I want to know. How I wish I was amm 1”

The greatest swindle of the co ;tury has come to an end by limitation of tbc act ttat uave it a semblance of legality. The Louisville Public Library lottery h Id itsfifthand last drawing on Saturday. Ac.ording to the Biasement<>f the managers, only thirty eight per cent, of ths tickets were sold and mre than that, the prizes were scaled down in proportion, the principal prize being only $95,003 instead of $250,003 as originally advertised, ililli ns of dollars have been drawn from the pockets of the credulous people of this country to enrich the principals of the lottery, only a tith of the proceeds going to the institution for which ti e drawings were ostensibly made. The lottery managers have been liberal patrons of the newspapers, who have been in aman-.er bribed to endorse, or at least remain silent in regard to the fraud. They can all now unite with the Star in denouncj ing it, since no mofe patronage can be derived from that source— Star.

Upon, their arrival, the cattle «iil be divided up into t un-.bes es one or two hundred an J fed at different places, where feed h:u» been prepargd f<>r them. When, “grass comes’’.the wheie herd will be driven out to Mr. Templeton’s pasture, six miles west of Fowler, Benton county’s entile kings know how to do badness. Napoleon made all Enyopa tremble at his name. Washington whnaked down, the old man’s cherry tree, and lWi the barefoot, patriotic army ag inst the haughty oppressors until the American Eagle, sere qaing yankee d odle, drove the iri;htened British Lion to bi 3 home arr ss the winters .Shakespear and Byron have made themselves famous for aH tune through tha “immortal muse."— Line In by a scratch of- bis pen brought “the priceless boon of liberty to four million of enslaved bangs." Rowe,ArkwrigTit, Vorse, Goodyear, Hoe, Fulton and many others have conferred lasting benefit on mankind by their inventions, But of D-ese will be longer bald in grateful remembrance by the sorrowful pedestrians in Eenssse’aer than those persons who sprinkled ashes on thejr sidewalks Lost Monday.

The Wife’s Commandments

I. Thou shsli have no other wife but me. IL Thou shalt not take into thy house any beautiful brazen, image to bow down to her, to serve her, for I am a jealous wife, visiting &!?, 111. Thou shalt not take the name of thy w fe in vain. IV- Remember to keep her respectably. V. Honor thy -wife’s father and mother. VI. Thou shalt not scold. > VII. Thou ahalt not find fault with thy dinner l . VIII. Thou sh dt rck the cradle in my absence, ami prepare ths tea for my return. IX. Thou shrill not be behind thy neighbors. X. Thou shalt not visit the rum tavern, thou ahult not covet the tavern keeper’s rum, nor his brandy, nor his gin, nor Lis whisky, nor his wine, nor anything that is beh nd the bar of the rutn seller. XI. Thou shult not visit the billiard saloon, neither for worshiping in the dance, nor the heaps of money that lay on the table. XII. Thon shsit not stay out later than at t ight. The two th ngs that brings business most frequently to disaster are greediness and dishonesty. They ate the breasts on which bankruptcy nurses itself. Instead of being a necessary help, dishon sty is the leak, the Weight, the unmeasurable evil that oppresses business. More labor is exacted, more care of the mind is required, more wear ami te r of watching is tendered necessary, more eomplcx tj ot business arrungemei.ts is called tot, more money is spent and wasted on society, by dishonesty, than any man can measure or conceive. I think that if it were given us, by a kind , f sorcery, to extract the element of dishonesty front the diifereilt spheres us life, it would be found that neatly one-half of the forces applied to business were means uselessly applied to Watch men and guard against tueir uishouisties. It men couid tie believed when ihey spoke, and trusted when they promised, it would take from bu.-iness half of its circuity. Our business is roiled up in complexitics. It isl.ke an army marching in an enemy’s Country and b ing obliged to explvre etery step of i-s waj, and to be constantly ready tor battle; wher a«, if men were honest, it would bo like a man going for pleasure over a iriend’s territory, enjoying the sweet delights that surround him on every hand. -H. \V. Beecher.
