At the spelling match last Friday evening, the last five on the floor went down on the word “widgeon." Notwithstanding which there will be another spell at the Court House to-night. Some people Will not swear. ’ Here is the way a fellow gave vent to his feelings on the street the other day : “Well, golding the dad blowed, eternally, dadratted cold to the everlasting glades of the sunny South. The Logansport Journal says: “The polar wave of last Friday and Saturday brought death and destruction to the cherries and pears in this locality, and fears are expressed that all but the latest and hardiest apples suffered the same fate.”

One demonstration of the late war’s cruel work to given in the fact that over two hundred and fifty thousand headstones are to be put up at the graves of the Union martyrs in the national cemeteries. At least onehalf of these are for the “unknown” doad. Obe of Brigham Young’s wives told him the other day that when she heard that the Sultan of Turkey bad 700 wives, she felt mortified to think that her husband had allowed an outlandish foreigner to beat him so badly in that line. There is wifely pride for you. Kokomo has everything, including a young lady who boldly and publicly declares her disbelief in Ged, the bible, religion, heaven or hell, or any future existence after this life. Her conduct is without a blemish, her education liberal, even accomplished, and her social standing to of the highest in the city. So says The Democrat. Dr. Haymond, President of the South Atlantic Railroad Company, was in the city yesterday. He represents that work upon the road is progressing rapidly, and thinks that by next spring it will be completed to this city.

Hoy Will deUta a temperance lecture in the Court House in Rensselaer, nex t Monday evening. Prof. Peters’ singing school it now under fall headway, and working nicely, with a tolerably fall 'class. Yet, like the street can, these to-always route for one more.

Perhaps it may be of interest to our readers to know that Mr. C. W. Clifton is agent for the sale of the celebrated Weed Sewing Machine. At least, try one of his machines before purchasing any other. The Columbus Republican grows prophetic over the color of tho moon. It say: “The moon was as red as fire on Monday night—indeed, its color was frightfuL All nature seems to indicate a rough and stormy season —whirlwiiids, storms earthquakes and a financial brash generally.’’ We present reader#, this week, the programme of the Jasper County Sunday School Union, which convenes on Tuesday, the 18th day of May, at the Baptist Church in Rensselaer, commencing at 10 o’clock A. M., and will continue in session two days.— A full attendance is requested. The duties of a Connecticut school master in 1812 were as follows; “To act as a court messenger, to serve summons, to conduct services in the church, to lead the choir on Sundays, to ring the bell for public worship, to dig graves, to take charge of the school, and to perform other occasional duties.” In view of the present prevailing ctstom of shooting editors, it is proposed that in order to keep the game from beoomingextinct, a legislative enactment should be passed, making it unlawful to shoot them rifily in certain seasons of the year.

A party who was looking at a house the other dfiy, eaid that he couldn’t afford to pay so much rent. “Well, look at the neighborhood,” replied a by-stander, “You can borrow flat-irons next door, coffee and tea across the street, flour and sugar at the c orner, And there’s a big pile of wood belonging to the Court House hot far d istant." Talk about agony being depicted on the human face. *We have seen men lose money and friends. We have seen a man stand by the death bed of his mother-in-law, but we never realized what real Sorr ow was until we saw a man, the other evening, looking over his newly made garden which had been kicked hither and thither by his nighbor’s chickens. It is said that there to a tide in the affairs of some places as well as sdme indivividuals, which if taken at its ebb leads no on# knows where. A few weeks since the citizens of Moulton, lowa, were happy that the name of their town was hot Beecher. A change has come over the spirit of their drelfnfte, and now they want to change it from Moulton to Beecher. Firrix# To Twisty Dollars Savxd.— Any one wishing a first-class sewing machine can save from fifteen to twenty dollars by the simple strategy of choosing a Wilson Shuttle Sewing Machine, one of the most perfect and capable machines ever invented. It has every valuable improvement thatestnbe named, and as all its friends know, works with equal facility in all classes of work and on all kinds of goods; Machines will be delivered at any Railroad Station m this county, free of transportation charges, if ordered through the Company’s Branch House at 197 State St., Chicago, 111. They send an elegant catalogue and chromo circular free on application. This Company want a few more good agents.

Last Sabbath was a beautiful day. Our village church belM rang out'their merry chimes, inviting our people to the Sanctuaries to engage in religious worship. This is appropriate and right. As we noticed the people wending their way to the church of their choice, we wondered how many of them had their hearts beating warmly and earnestly in accord with the great heart of love, of Him, whose life while upon earth was a ministry of good deeds to mankind. Now as in the days of our Savior, there are sad and weary hearts all about us, from which burdens can be lifted.— There is distress which we can alleviate.— There is affliction which we can mitigate and pain which we can help soothe. To do those things is Vhrist-like. Who, of the many who visited our different churches last Sabbath, in the evening as they lay their heads upon their pillows and their minds reviewed the acts of the day which had been of actual benefit to a fellow man. Long faces and finely spun theories do but precious little good in this world or in any other. Actions speak louder than words. ChrisUike acta in every day life, can do more to knock the botUhn out of infidelity, than the acres of sermons which are hurled at it from our pulpits.

It may be as well to give the beginner southing of a notion of the use he rimy make of of the most ordinary words for the purpose of quibelism. For instance, in the* way of observation: The loss of a hat is always felt; if you don’t like sugar, you may lump it; a glazier to a pains-taking man; candles are burned because wick-ed things always coines to light; a lady who takes you home from a party is kind in her carriage, and yon say, “Nuhe est ridendun” when you step into it; if it happens tobe a chariot, she is a charitable person; birds’ nests and kingkilling are synoriymus, because they are high trees on;the greatest fibta* is the man most to re lie on; a dean epecting a bishopric looks for lawn; a suicide kills pigs, and not himself; a butcher to a gross man, but a fig-seller to a grocer; your grandmother and your great grandmother were your aunt’s sisters.
