INDIANA NEWS ITEMS.

Boone County. Religious services near Big Spring, on a recent Sunday night, are thus described by the Lebanon Patriot: “ A large audience had collected for wonhip and services had begun, when some one announced that all the horses on the north side of the church had been cut loose. This created some disturbance, but the horses were soon hitched again. Alfred Parr was one whose hones had been cut loose, and as be was re-entering the church he missed bis pocket-book, which contained

a good sum of money. He made this known to the audience, and, some thinking the excitement had been raised in order to give a thief an opportunity to pick his pockets, they locked the doors and proceeded to search every one in the house. A certain young man, who was under the influence of liquor, refused to be searched, and declared the preacher had stolen the money, and that he would kin him for it if he could get to him. He was searched, however, and put

out of the house in a pretty rough manner. This raised the wrath of his rowdy friends, who assembled around the door with cocked revolvers, and began to kick against the door. Those on the inside were armed with sticks of stove-wood, ready to meet them if they dared to come in. Each party waited for the other to open the door, but neither ventured to begin the assault, and presently the crowd dispersed without blood being shed on either side. Mr. Parr found his pocketbook, after he went home, in the barn, where he had lost it about ten minutes before he started to church?’

A few evening ago while Rev. J. G. Schmogrow, Lutheran minister in Goshen, was returning from the country with his wife and child in a carriage he attempted to cross the hydraulic canal on the ice, when the ice suddenly gave way and the minister and his family were precipitated into water six feet deep.

Mr. Turner’s jaw and one of his ribs were broken, and he received, also, internal injuries from which a fatal termination is expected. Huntington County.

The son of Frank Ackerman, aged eleven years, whoresided with his father in Jackson township, was recently seized by a mad bull, which tossed him into the air and then stamped the life out of his body, which was frightfully lacerated, the head being mashed out of shape, the left arm completely torn from the socket, and the entire body gored and mangled. Death must have occurred almost instantaneously. Laporte County. Charles Snell was arrested recently, and charged with being responsible for the late incendiarism in Laporte.

Marlon County. Lewis Bishop, an Indianapolis brute, deliberately cut his wife’s throat, the other evening, because she refused to live with him. Orange County. The brothers of Mr. Thomas Moody, who was foully murdered at Orleans recently, have offered a reward of >1,500 for the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator of the cowardly murder. As the county has offered >I,OOO reward the two will make quite a nice little plum for the detectives to go for.

Got. Hendricks’ Message.

Gkntlxxsn of th* Sbbatb and Hous* of Rbpbbsbbtativbs: Yon have been called in special session, by virtue of the provision of the Constitution which so authorizes, when die Governor shall be of opinion that the public welfare requires it. It is your duty to provide for an exigency which has involved the public welfare. When that work shall have been completed, the occasion for the special session will have ceased, and your adjournment should Immediately follow. You are not In session for the pupose of general legislation. At the expiration of the legislative period of the recent session there was a disagreement between the Senate and House of Representatives upon some - general bills, which were important, if not essential to the public welfare. Among these were the Revenue and General Appropriation bills; regulating fees and salaries of public officers and the bill regulating the sale of intoxi eating liquors. These bills should be put in such shape that the judgment of the two houses may harmonize upon them. I ask that they shall receive your immediate attention. By virtue of the act of Dec. 6, 1872, they stand upon the files of the two houses for your action as if the two sessions had been one and continuous. The Revenue bill should provide for the ordinary expenditures of the State. Indebtedness should not be created to meet such expenditures. By refence to the pending General Appropriation bill you will see that the two houses have agreed upon the'appropriations for the State service, the benevolent, penal, reformatory and educational institutions aggregating about *900,000 for each year. Under the reappraisement as you provided for. the taxable property of the State will not exceed *850,000,000 in value. The poll tax will be about *130,000. Your estimate should anticipate a delinquency of 20 per centum upon both property and poll tax. During the years 1875 and 1876 extraordinary expenditures will be required as follows: For construction of an additional asylum for the insane, *3'0,000; for the payment of bonds likely to be presented during the two years, under the act of Dec. 12, 1872, *‘100,000; and to meet the temporary loan under the act of March 10, 1873, *910,000. Two hundred thousand dollars of that loan will become due on the 12th Inst. The Treasurer of State has made provision for the payment. I do not think that good policy requires that these extraordinary expenditures be provided for wholly by taxation. I recommend that the authority to make a temporary loan conferred by the act of March 10,1873, be continued.

I need not remind yon that the subject of the proper adjustment of fees and salaries gave you some serious trouble at the late session. I ask you to take it up again, and to make such adjustment as shall be fair both to the people and to officers. As I suggested in my message in January, all constructive fees and charges should be made impossible. The compensation should be sufficient to command for the public efficient and reliable service, but no greater. Public officers accept their positions with the understanding that their fees and salaries are under legislative control, except in cases in which the Constitntion otherwise provides. But they have a right to expect that, after their election, their compensation shall not be unreasonably and nniustly reduced. In my message of January I expressed my views so fully in relation to the regulation of the sale of intoxicating liquors that I have now but little to do. We are without any efficient law on that subject. Society should not be left in that condition. The j udgment of the people has been distinctly expressed, as I believe, in favor of a carefully-guarded license law. This wish and judgment should find expression in your legislation The Supreme Court, two Jmjges dissenting, recently decided that, under the existing law, there is no restraint upon the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday, in the night time, or on election days, except in case of sales of liquor to be drank upon the premises. I need not urge the importance of legislation to correct these defects in the existing law. The necessity for this special session is te be regretted, but the misfortune is mitigated by the fact that the business demanding your attention is in such condition as to require you to remain in session but a very few days. Before the adjournment. of the regular session yesterday 1 communicated to the two houses my proclamation for this special session. I desired to prevent any interruption in the progress of business. I desired also to avoid the occasion for yon to travel to your homes. As the act of Dec. 19,1872, provides’mileage only for travel actually performed, I have advised the Auditor of State that any claim for mileage that might be made must necessarily be for constructive travel, and that it should not be allowed. Should you be of opinion that I am not correct in this construction of the law. your judgment expressed in joint or concurrent resolution*will be at once respected. I trust that harmony will characterize your proceedings, and that bya successful and prompt dispatch of the public business you may have the gratification of an early adjournment.

THOMAS A. HENDRICKS,

Governor of Indiana.

Spontaneous Combustion of Coal.

It has remained for the court of inquiry which has recently closed a long session at Hong Kong, China, on the cause of the loss of the Pacific Mail steamship Japan by fire, to discover and announce to the world the danger which attends ocean travel by reason of the possibility of the spontaneous combustion of coal stowed away in the .bunkers of every steamship. The cause of the burning of the Japan was closely enshrouded in mystery, but the court of investigation, after deducing all possible testimony from the crew without reaching satisfactory conclusions, learned at last from the engineer on duty just previous to the disaster that one of the coalbunkers had not been inspected for at least twenty-four hours, and in this bunker the fire first broke forth. This testimony was considered conclusive, and the opinion arrived at was that spontaneous combustion of coal in this particular bunker was the cause of the fire which consumed the Japan and resulted in the attendant great loss of life and property. In closing its session the court recommended that in future the strictest rules be adopted by steamship companies and enforced by the officers of vessels in the mailer of coal-bunker inspection, and decided that four hours was a sufficient time for coal stored away in a vessel at sea to engender a heat sufficient to create combustion, the conditions being favorable.

With such a decision, coming from an apparently honest body of investigators and substantiated as it is by the probabilities in the case of the Japan disaster, not only steamboat men but users of coal generally should see to it with continued diligence that the combustious nature of the article is not permitted to involve in conflagration its surroundings.— Chicago Journal. k A lady on the east shore of Maryland happened to make sausage meat and mince pies on the same day. Being called to the parlor to receive company she returned to find to her sorrow that the cook had put the wine, spice, sugar and plums into the sausages, while the mince meat received its complement of sweet herbs, salt and pepper. The lady magnanimously bestowed the whole stock on the poor, since which she has never been troubled by the sick and demoralized paupers who were her victims.

—The new Encyclovodia BritannieahM these appalling assertions: “If the natural resources of America were fully developed it would afford sustenance to 8 600,000,000 inhabitants—a number near, ly five times as great as the entire mass of human beings now existing on the globe. And, what is even more surprising. it is not more improbable that this prodigious population will be in existence within three, or at most four, centuries.

A Snake Fight.

Last August, as Mr. Wooldridge, who lives just above Cloverdale, formerly of Petaluma, was going to bis work in the early morning he saw a strange sight, somehing which he could not at first define whirling, writhing and turning on the Sound. On a nearer approach what was ■ astonishment to discover two immense rattlesnakes engaged in deadly strife. They were wrapped around each other from tail to within six or eight inches of the head, and never for a moment did they take their eyes off each other. Now and then they would slowly unwind to within one or two coils of the tail, when with an instantaneous movement they would again become involved to the neck, and, with jaws distended and fangs exposed, one would strike at the other, his antagonist invariably dodging the blow, when in turn he would, be foiled. After repeating their maneuvers for a time they would lie panting in each other’s coils, and then slowly and cautiously unwind only to repeat the involvement and striking again. So fiercely did they embrace each other that one would think surely the life would be crushed out. Strike after strike was made on both sides, but never once was an adversary so far caught off his guard as to receive a blow. They had been fighting over a space of fifteen or twenty feet, as evidenced by their tracks in the dust. To all appearances they had been fighting all night, every inch of ground bearing marks of the conflict. After looking atjthem for some time Mr. Wooldridge cut a pole some eight or ten feet long, and just then Mr. Murphy came up. He took the pole and approaching the snakes they simultaneously discovered him, when, loosening their hold of each other with marvelous rapidity, the larger one rushed at him perfectly furious; it required the second blow to stop him. In a moment after the other started after Mr. Murphy, as bis now dead antagonist had done, when he, too, was e>lain by a well-directed blow. One had sixteen and the other fifteen rattles.— Santa Rota (Cal.) Democrat.

Her Husband’s Letter.

A middle-aged woman had a letter handed her at the general delivery in the Postofflce yesterday and she sat down on a window-sill and read it. Her interest was intense from the start, and she spoke up and said: “ He calls me his little darling. That’s good!” After reading a few lines more she said: “And he misses my society so much!” Half way down the page she spoke again: “And he calls me his sunbeam—his guardian angel.” She climbed up on the sill a little further, turned the letter over and mused: | “ And he’s lost three pounds of flesh worrying oyer my health. He’s just a dear, loving old darling, that’s what he is!” She reached the top of the fourth page and exclaimed: “What! going to Flint, eh?” Furl her down she growled: “ And he met that red-headed Widow Kernshaw on the cars, eh? I’ll see about that. He probably didn’t tell her he was married!” She got down to the “P. 8.,” glanced over a couple of lines, and then yelled right out: “Not coming home until next week! Trains snowed in! Great press of business! I’ll see whether he isn’t coming! Bub, where’s the telegraph office?” And she ran across the street and sent him a dispatch which made’the operator’s hair stand up as he received and read it.— Detroit Free Press.

Reed & Sons’ Organs.

If you wish to buy a first-class organ with the latest improvements, the sweetest quality of tone and the newest style of case, send to Reed’s Temple of Music, Chicago.

Even as in America this season has been exceptionably “ dreadful” in the South, just so has the usually “sunny clime” of Italy and Southern France been cold, damp and uncomfortable in Europe. It hats been “perfectly excruciating” everywhere, and there’s no use for anybody complaining anywhere.

The Mason & Hamlin Organ Co. have completed and now occupy their new factories in Cambridgeport, Mass., in which they have introduced machinery to an extent never before employed in the manufacture of organs. By the aid of this they not only produce the best organs, but with greatest economy. Twice as many organs can be produced, in proportion to the number of men employed, as would be possible with ordinary facilities, and this is the reason not only for such admirable instruments but also for such low prices.

—And here is the first demonstration I may say it was ever in my power to witness in cowology—a cow “ coasting” down hill: The barn stood upon a hill, at the foot of which the cattle had been accustomed to go for drink. But last Monday morning the hill was covered with ice, and the boy placed a tub of water near the barn-door and let out the cow, supposing she would slake her thirst from that tub. The cow, however, started off for her old place at the foot of the hill, and, finding herself slipping, she squatted upon her haunches, like a dog, and bracing her feet in front she slid a distance of twenty feet to the bottom ; and, as she brought up of a sudden, she recovered her hind feet and looked around as if to see “what had

Died Suddenly of Heart Disease.

How common is the announcement. Thousands are suddenly swept into eternity by this fatal malady. This disease generally has its origin in impure blood filled with irritating, poisonous materials, which, circulating through the heart, irritate its delicate tissues. Though the irritation may at first be only* slight, producing a little palpitation or irregular action, or dull, heavy, or sharp darting pains, yet by and by the disease becomes firmly seated, and inflammation, or hypertrophy, or thickening of the lining" membrane or of the valves, Is produced. How wise to give early attention to a case of this kind. Unnatural throbbing or pain in the region of the heart should admonish one that all is not right, and if you would preserve it from further disease you must help it to beat rightly by the use of such a remedy as wUI remove the cause of the trouble. Use Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery before the disease has become too seated, and it will, by its great blood-purifying and wonderful regulating properties, effect a perfect cure. It contains medicinal properties which act specifically upon the tissues of the heart, bringing about a healthy action. Sold by all first-class Druggists. heart disease cured. Rockport, Spencer Co., Ind., Feb. 1, 1874. Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. : About two years ago I was afflicted with a disease of the heart, which at times created a pressure around it, almost causing suffocation. I saw an advertisement of your Golden Medical Discovery, recommending the same as a cure for disease of the heart. 1 then bought half a dozen bottles of it, and after using three bottles I was entirely relieved and am now enjoying good health.

Gratefully yours,

Asthma.—This disease causes great difficulty of breathing and tightness across the chest, and sometimes attended with a great deal of suffocation. The paroxysm generally comes on at night, while lying down; sometimes it is attended with great violence. Allen’s Liyig Balsam will, always give immediate relia, and in many cases, if persevered in, it wfll cure the disease altogether.

American Women—lt is a melancholy fact that American women have degenerated in point of health and pbysioue until they have become literally a race of invalids. How sad it is to look around us and compare the frail and effeminate looking lady of to-day with the hale, hearty and buxom ladies of days gone by. To all such the late discovery of Dr. Walker, of California, which is known as Vinegar Bitters, is a priceless boon indeed. For this class of disease it is certain and safe, and any lady, old or young, can take it with entire confidence in the result, and thus avoid what to thousands is a stumbling-block never overcome, viz.: a consultation with a family physician. ’Tis true there may be cases of years’ standing that will necessitate more powerful treatment, but in nine cases out of ten this remedy will reach the disease, and after a little time effect a cure. The number of ladies cured ty it are numbered by thousands and are‘scattered through every State in the Union. 26

Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, “What is the cause of th® unparalleled success of Vinegar Bitters!” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing th® sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties «f Dr. Walker’s Vinegabßitters are. A perient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritions, LaxativerDiuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Altera, live, and Anti-Bilious. R. H. MCDONALD & CO., Druggists and Gen. Agts..
