We are pleased to acknowledge the re: ceipt of a finely-bound -copy of & book entitled “Struggles and Triumphs, or Forty ’Yéars Recolleetion, of P. T. Barnum.” It is; published by J. B. Burr & Co, Hartford, Conn. )

' Tue distinguished editor of the Lagrange Democrat seems to be in a critical mood. He don’t" like the “tickling process,” Neither would we—with such “tickling” as the Anderson Herald indulges in occasionally at our neighbor’s expense. . ik

We have received from the publishers of Peterson’s Magazine, an engraving of ~‘Our Father Who Art in Heaven,” copies of which they are giving to persons who send clubs for their publication.— ‘We can speak, from personal knowledge, of the beauty of the engraving.

A “GextLEMAN” from Elkhart township almost succeeded in stealing a buffalo robe from Jackson & Myers one day this week, Mr. Jackson fortunately discovered the theft in time to follow the gegfiflem&n of “confiscating proclivities,” and after an exciting chase the robe ‘was returned to its legitimate owners.— ‘A repetition” of a similar “joke” might “land the r@erpetmtor somewhere in the -neighborhoeod of Michigan City.

Bic Hunr.—Two parties of fourteen . each, from Goshen, were out on a hunt last Tuesday and Wednesday, on the wager of a supper. The parties were cho - sen by their respective captains, Chas. F. Butterfield and Capt. Geo. W. Gibbon.— Mr. Butterfield’s party did their hunting .in the neighborhood of Ligonier, and

A VILLAIN AT LARGE. —By private letter we learn that Orange township is cursed with a sneaking villain who richly merits the attention of every “regulator” in Noble county. * The family of Mr. Timothy Watkins, living on the road from Rome City to Kendallville, seems to have fallen under the displeasure of some unknown scoundrel who would not hesitate to imbue his hands in human blood. For some time the only child of Mr. W. has been gradually falling under the bahe of that dreaded disease, Consumption, and naw to add to’their troubles, some fiend in human shape bas appeared upon the stage. One night last weck, as Mrs. W. was standing in the pantry, the report of a gun was heard, a bullet whistled -closei by her head and lodged in a bed occupied by a young lu-; dy who wasstaying at the house. About this time the horses' of Mr. W. were mangled and cut to pieces in the most shocking manner, causing the death of one of them and the entire ruin of the other. The entire family is in total ignorance of the source of their troubles; and can_give no clue to the perpetrators of the vile acts. Their sore afflictions ocanga the greatest eympathy : through‘out their neighborhood. iy

‘A BAp AccIDENT—THE DEATH OF AN OLD CiTizEN.—At an early hour on last Friday morning, this city was startled by the painful intelligence of the accidental death of Nelson T. Place. For soma twelveyears Mr. P. had performed the onerous duties of Freight Agent of the L. S. & M. 8. B. R., and at the time of his death was engaged in coupling some cars, loaded with lufilber.r I% appears that he passed hetween the ‘éars from the inside of a curve in ‘the tragk, which brought the bumpers ciose enough tagether to inflict fatal internal injuries; after, dropping down the wheels of the ¢ar passed over his body.— Medical aid was summoned, but he was entirely unconscious from the first, and breathed his last before reaching his home.. ../ g 5 . i The sad accident cast a gloom over the entire city, for no man stood higher in the community than Nelson T. Place. His funeral took place from the Baptist church on Sunday last, and was very largely attended.—Laporte Argus. . - s " AUDITOR OF STATE.—There are thirteen candidates already announced for the office of Auditor of State, subject to the decision of the Democratic State Conyention.

of Kendallyille was visited with the most destructive conflagration’ that has ever visited that place, and which resulted in the destruction of property to the amount. of nearly tnirty thousand dollars. ~ The fire was first discovered at about 12 o'clock, in the building occupied by ‘Wm. Herbst ; and the flames taking hold af the dry, wooden structure soon rased it to the ground, and communicating to other buildings of like material, soon swept its course of destruction the entire: length of the row. The cause of the fire is not known. ‘

The buildings destroyed were occupied by the following firms: Engel & Co. 3 J. P. Gross; Mrs. M. J. Bates; L. A Thompson & Son; Mrs. L. B. Wilson; Vanderhule & Gorton; H. Moyer & Co.; Baker & Bachelder, and Gotsch & Beck man. The following is a list of the losses as nearly as can be ascertained: Wm. Herbst, merchant tailor, stock entire lost, valued at about $2,000 ; insured for $l,400. Engel & Co., clothing house, loss about $10,000; insured for $8,600. The building owned by Joseph Kaufmann, total loss; imsured for $2,500. L. A. Thompson & Co., grceery, total loss with no insurance. Mrs. M. J. Bates, millinery, total loss, with no insurance. John P. Gross, agricultural implements, loss about $4,000; insured for $3,000. Gotsch & Beckman, jewelry; no insurance, and most of goods saved. ~Baker & Bachel-’ der, hardware; small insurance.
