Almost every citi'zen in the community, against whom such a pimp may have a grudge, stands in daun- . ger of being made a victim of his malici- " ous nature. Let the people speak out, then, and put a stop tosuch rascally transi { ' actions., : L L e s .~ Quire a large number of our citizens - were out at church, on last Sunday even: ing; the report having been circulated that there was to be a mafriage eeremo: | oy performed in the church, and they re | paired thither to await the coting of the bridegroom. tle came not, and the com. - pany went home to learn that the couple had preferred a more private manner of ' tying the knot. | Py 1 ettt e ntrs | | ToE sapient editor of the Elkhart Re: | olew states that Col.

This may be 80, but it probably does not prevent: people outside. the Review office, and “in| daily intercourse with the Colonel, from| expressing the conviction that his name; will be presented to the convention tor - that position. i Tux Elkhart Review says that John S.| ~ Collins, advertising agent of a sparring _exhibition, came near killing Mr. James| Girt of that - place on Wedunesday last.— | * Colligs had filled himself with fighting. whisky before he commenced to distrib-| _ ute his bills, and entering Mr. Girt’s yard he was asked what business he had: there.

G. R. & 1. RalL Roap.—The Lagrange Democrat has information that “four miles of iron rails have been laid, from Fort Wayne north, on the Grand Rapids & Indigna Rail Road, and it is thought that the track will be completed to Huntertowr, ten milgs, by the first of January, and that the grading is progressing, - all along the line, quite rapidly. " This we call business, and, at this rate, we may confidently expect to see the iron down and a locomotive reach this town by May next.

- Fortune seéms to be kicking up quite a lively muss with my affairs. She now makes it decidedly to my interest to leave the sunny South. - go, but with much regret.

- A prominent young man was shot dead, in-a-drinking-hell in our usually quiet éity, a few evenings ago, Whisky brought about a quarrel between Polk Wright, a young man, and the radical sheriff, Jo. Doyle. Hard words brought about & col lision, when Doyle went down, Wright on top. A son of Doyle’s, 18 or 20 years off age, was near by, and hearing. the contusion, drew a revolver and rushed in and fired at Wright, the ball passing through the spinal column, killing him' instan ly. Young Doyle fled immediately, and has not been arrested up to this date. : More anon from our old home. - ‘ Yours truly, J. F. McDEvITT.

SwEATING PRoCESS.—There are many methods of collecting debts, says the Fu Wayne Gazette, but we think the following is the latest : ‘““A constable arrested a man on a capias, who had no goods subject to execution, except the money in his pocket and jthe clothes on his back, neither of which could be levied upon.— He was bgought into a Justice's office, and there refused to liquidate the account, saying he preferred to go to jail to paying the deb%. Nothing was said further. The constable built a:grand old winter fire in the stove, and gwﬁtod the course of avents. The arrested party became warm, and removed from his person a large and valuable overcoat that he was at the time wearing, and hurg it on the back of the chair. The coat was immediately levied upon by the constable, and held as property levied upon by virtue of an.execution. The result was the young man paid the bill, and is 1n all probability now a sharper if not a wiser man.”

WneNn W. W. Skillen outraged common decency by his amorous adventure in-the rear of the grave-yard, we felt disposed to say as little as possible about the matter, for reasons then stated. We were in hopes that the feelings of indignation and disgust created among the citizens of this place by that occurrence would have a tendency to humiliate the fellow sufficiently to Keep within the limits of propriety, but in this we were most wofully disappointed. He is constantly exhibiting symptoms of his devilish nature, and there is no alternative left us as a faithful journalist than to give a full é!mose of his innumerable transgressions. This we shall do at no distant period, and we can assure the public in advance that the de-: velopments will be of such a character as: to surprise all that such an individual has® been permitted to infest this community for so long a time. * :
