NORTHERN INDIANA ITEMS. —_— SEVERAL cases of spotted fever have resulted fatally in Whitley county. eA e e . THERE is considerable brain fever re-. ported in different parts of DeKalb county. s ey 'DEEALB CoUNTY cast 2578 votes for and 2 against the Wabash & Erie Canal amendment to the Constitution. TuE United Brethrer have been holding protracted meetings at Waterloo. Ten converts were made the other Sunday. v —_——— L ' WATERLOO, as we learn from the Press, has three saloons with amunition sufficient to rup until about the middle of next December. ? i W TRAVELlNG:’imposmrs' have obtained quite & number of subscriptions to various public journals from unsuspecting citizens of Steuben county. - , g, —— : WE are pleased to read in the Waterloo Press that “from the brick piles, and other building material, accumnlating about town, one is led to judge that building will be lively next summer.” S

Tre spotted fever hasimade its appearance in the vicinity of Waterloo. Five members of Mr. Daniel Stroh’s family, gouth east of that town, have had the disease. Theodore, the eldest son, died on Tuesday of last week. Deceased was & very promising and intelligent joun_‘g man, past twenty-one years of age. . -

RAILROAD AccCIDENTS.—The northern bound Eel River freight train, on Monday morning, Feb. 24th, ran upon a broken rail, at Summit, six miles north of Waterloo.. Six frei‘ght cars were thrown from the track and other demage done. Another freight engine ran into a caboose pear Butlen, on the Lake Shore road, on the night of Feb. 22d. No one received serious injuries in eitber of the accidents, a 8 we learn from the Press. —— : A SwINDLER. — The Auburn Courier learns “from Mr. Windsor, of Pleasant Lake, that a swindling scalawsg calling himself G. M. Parsons has been taking in the honest people of that viginity by pretending to be 'aa agent for papers and magazines, and thus obtaining money and then making himself scarce. Those who subscribed never got' the publications, and it is evident that he is a first class gootindrel” | ; : g Tae EEL RivErß RAILRoAD. — Last week's Auburn Courier says: “A meeting was held at the Court House last Wednesday evening, in the interest of this road, which was largely attended by residents along the line. President Colling madea statement of the condition of affairs, and emphatically declared that if the subscription asked for was not forthcoming soon, the road would net be built. We trust those who have lain the flattering unction to their souls that the road would be built anyhow, will rouse up and assist the project. Committees were appointed and are to work, and we want to hear a good foport” T :

A TeLEGRAM from Ft. Wayne says that arrangements have been perfected by which the Fort Wayne, Jackson & BSaginaw, the Fort Wayne, Muncie & Cincin nati Railroads will jointly erect their shops in that place, ani from present indications work will be commenced early this spring by the Fort Wayne, Muncie & Cincinnati Company, who will secure a lease of the land donated by the city for this. purpose to the Fort Wayne, Jackson & Saginaw Company, from the latter Company, and the proceedings which were ordered to be commenced by the City Council to recover the lands andmoney given to the two companies for the erec. tion of these shops. jointly will be stopp(:‘d.' §

- Tne Rognoke, Huntington connty, Register of the 22nd ult. says: “A young lady about eightecn years of age, by the name of Mary Branstrator, daughter of Andrew Branst rator, résiding about one and a half miles east of Roanoke, in an affray with ber brother William, aged about fourteen years, on Monday last, had a stick of sugar wood thrust into her eyé, by being thrown at her by her brother. The stick is supposed to have been a foot or eight. een inches in length when thrown at her, but broke off by the force of the blow, and left three and a half inches sticking in her skull, which penetrated Lier brain about half an inch. Dr.Cbaffe¢ was called, and although she is doing as well ds expected, yet fears are entertained for her recovery. . L

CHILD-MURDER AND SELF-DEsTRUC-TION.—The DeKalb county papers report & most sickening horror as having occurred at Auburn, on Sunday night, February 28d. It appears that a young woman pamed Melissa Brown, from North Manchester, has been.working for four or five months in the hotel at the north end of town. On the Sabbath named she complaitied of feeling unwell, and kept in her room. Inithe evening the landlord’s fam. ily and other occupants of the:house attended church, During their absense the sick girl was delivered of a fully developed male child. This she threw into the well in rear of the hotel, and succeeded in making ber way back to her room, probably in hopes she would be able to ‘conceal the matter, for a time at least.— When the family returned, the landlady visited-her room, and it is said remarked its disordered condition, but the girl put ber off with an excuse. On Monday morning the girl was found to be dead. A quantity. of morphine was found in the room, but it is believed generally that she died from want ot care and exposure. An examination of the room developed what had been going on, and a further search led to the discovery of the child in the well. A coroner's inquest was held on Monday, end the remains of tother and child were sent to North Manchester, in Wabash county, for burial.

- M. SICKA¥OOsE, a leading member of the Whitley Bar, has removed from Columbia City to Independence, Kansas, e 'NINETY-TWO persons applied for membership in the Goshen M. E. Church on probetion; and thirty-nine by letter dur ing the last ten months. el @ i % : - THE South Bend ZT'ribune says the time for lightning men to swing around in their bright red wagons is fast approaching. They will come with the spring birds, and as the gunsmiths ‘have plenty to do just now, we presume the farmers are getting ready for them. S Aoy Frou the Columbia City Commercial we clip the following religious item : —“A great revival in the Methodist Episcopal IChurch at Marshall is in progress. Thus far about 270 accessions to the membership of the Church have been made, and it is the intention to hold meetings until every sinner in Marshall is converted.”

A Mi'lersburg correspondent says that some of the citizens of that place bave a burning desire to go South to live—Tennessee being their imagined Canaan—and three cr four of them propose to go and “spy out the land” in the course of three or four weeks. We suspect the “milk and honey” will have dried up by the time-they have seen it thoroughly.

A Millersburg correspondent to the Goshen Times saye:—The Rev. Jacob Berkey has recent!y sold his farm to two of his sons, for about $16,000. He reserves 8 few acres near the Dunkard Church building, cn which he will build a house for himself the coming season. His son Isaac has sold his farm to Mr. David Berkey, tor $6,000, and the laiter has just sold one 6f his farms (forty acres) to Mr. John Hoover, for $2,400. : P | ‘DEeatn 18 CHURcH.—At & protracted meeting on Brushy Prarie, Lagrange county, on Monday evening, Feb. 24, a 8 the congregation were assembling, Mrs. Hiram Saxton, residing a little east of Outario, came intc the house and went up to the stove to warnm. The minister shook hands with her, and to his inquiry she answered that Bhe was well, :She soon turned round, and fell on the floor. Water andcamphor were used freely to restore her,:but without avail, as she breathed but a few times more. :

Tue Superintendent of the Goshen & Warsaw Railroad, relates one of the most remarkable incidents as having occurred on his road on the downward trip about three weeks ago. The train was making its way -north from Manchester under some difficulties, when it encountered ice two inches above the rails for a distance of ten miles. It was the day that it rained—from some cause the water settled on the track and froze—and here they were. - He says they were four hours goi‘n% from Manchester to Silver Lake, 10 miles. . + e

Last Thursday evening, at Ft. Wayue, a well.to~do looking farmer was seen’ to fall from his wagon from a high spring scat on to his hedd on the ground, with - out receiving much injury apparently. His feet caught in the lines and he was dragged about 30 feet, his hedd being placed in the pogition between the fore and hind wheels, and had it not been for two gentlemen - who stopped the farmer’s rucaway horse, he would have been killed. He was too drunk to feel his hurt just then, but by this time the effects of ft‘liftfm and glide over a rough road are elt. ’ !

RAILROAD ACCIDENT AT Gosrm‘N.—-The Democrat reports the occurrence of a collision, on the 224 ult., at the Main street tailroad crossing in that city. A freight train was standing on the track, on the time of the Warsaw train, without taking any precautions to prevent accident. The latter train, on its regular time, being prevented by a curve from seeing the qbstruction, dashed into the freight train at a gpeed of six or eight. miles per hour. Passengers were sent sprawling in every direction, but no one was seriously hurt except Dr. Ellis, who had his ribs badly contused, if not broken. The Democrat soberly remarks that it was a very un. necessary accident, and a most fortunate mcape.l o= -

. DEATH FROM A MAD HORSE —From the Goshen Democrat we learn that on Saturday, Feb: 23, John Linerick, in the employment of Charles S. Mather, Esq., of Middlebury, Elkhart county, after killing a sheep, entered the stable and approached the head cf a horse in one of the stalls. The animal became infuriated from the suiell of blood on his hands, and instantly struck the unfortunate man down, and with kicking, pawing and biting, literally crushed the life out of him, The local physician rendered what aid was possible, and Dr. Latta was immediately sent for, but all was unavailing, as death occurred the same evening. The deceased wis a worthy, honest, hard working man; and leaves a wife and several small ehildren. Their helpless condition appeals to the generous symps. thies of the people of Middlebury, and the Demeocrat is assured they will be well eared for. : b o

‘A FEW WEEEKS sgo the Michigan Southern Railroad company issued orders that no passengers should be carried on freight trains. About a week ago Mr. Waldron of Hillsdale, attempted to ride in & caboose car on a freight train, but ~was summarily ejected, although he tendered the money, first in bills and then in silver for his fare. The gentleman _could not reach home until next day, suf. fering, as he claims, considerable incon venience and damage thereby, and commenced suit against the railroad company for damages last Friday in the Circuit Court of Hillsdale county. The result of the suit will be looked forward to With .considerable interest, a 8 it is of the uts most importance to know whether a railroad company has the power under its charter to exclude the public from the accommodation of passage by ang of their trains. There is considerable difference .of opinion dn the subject, and the traveling public are anxious to_learn the provisions of the law in such cases, which will be set forth in the proceedings of this trial —making the first test case and establishing ';‘grecegdptjfn the question.— &.Jo@@?ﬂb‘.m o

! —Although Gen.

The resolution was passed last Saturday. f ' ; - —The Obioj Indiana and Illinois two per cent. bill was voted down in the United States Senate, by a vote of 24 to %6._.'_ The measure was, no doubt, a just one; but Indiava can do without her share of the monéy easier than the General Guvernment can pay ‘it.

— Tne Wilson Credit Mobilier Committee have made a report, in which it is recommended that Congress take action to bring the question before the courts for a decision, as to whether the United States or the first mortgage bondholders, bhave a prior lien upon the Union Pacific Reailroad. In view of the fact that most of the first mortgage bonds of the company went to the stockholders of the Credit Mobilier, it is claimed by some that the government can legally set aside the socalled first lien of these bondholders..

THE GIPSY’'S PROPHESY. _ Some years ago, while sojourning for a few weeks in London, I had an invitation from a gentleman whom I had met in America, to visit' him at his home in tbe north of England, and having nothing to prevent my accepting, I-packed my trunk and left by the next train. - - My friend owned alarge and hand‘some estate, with an elegant old mansion’ house upon it, that had been for many years the home of his aticestors ; his familg consisted of a son’of twenty-two-years of age, and two daughters, respectively eighteen and twenty. . His wife bad been dead for many years; and he passed his days in a quiet home life, contented with -the love of his children and the : society that the neighborhood afforded. =~ A ‘warm welcome awaited me upon my arrival, and ere I. had been an hour in the house I felt at. home, and not as: a stranger ina strangeland. The days passed pleasantly in huoting and fishing and making and receiving visitsin the neigh~ borhood. Betweén Bertram Sutherland -« tke son of my old| friend—and myself there sprang up a firm friendship, dnd a 8 I knew him better T appreciated: more -and more his ‘noble qualities. =He was generous to a fault, ‘open:in his' manner, and none who knew him could tail to admire and respect him.” - “ .o 0 ‘He bad, however,.one great fault, and | & strange one too for g 'man of his cultivated mind and' general information, and that was, a belief in superstition, from which no arguments. or ridieule ‘could turn him. He would believe in good and evil omens, and when in doubt at any time as to what he should er sbould not do under certain circumstances; he would toss up a penny and leave it to chance to decide for bim. = This was his peculiarity, however, and'l never inter--<tered with it. Days and nights rolled by in enjoyment, and all Hallow eve came, and around the hospitable hearth of Mr. ‘Butherland, were gathered a number of young people from the surroundJing estates, bent on passing the evening inpleasute. g :

The clock was striking mid-night, when a loud kneck was heard st'the door;, and the butler, upon answering it found standing there a miserable looking old gipsy woman, who 'asked permission to come in and tell the fortunes of the young people present. - . £ osoe 2 diE - There was a unanimous cry from all to admit ber, and stalking in by the' butler: she walked up to the fire,.and ‘after " gaz ing into the burning coals for a few moments without speaking, turred to the silent assembly and said, in a: withéred upvoice: v wincia E s “I read in thesc embers pages from the beok of futurity, and all here present have their names engraved therein” = Then addressing Annie Sutherland, she continued : v e s “Stand forth] pretty Inssie; and hear what old Gipsy Laurie has to siy to you. T see clouds and sunshine before you,-but each clond bas a silver lining that tem pers ‘its. gloom, so that you will tread -maipnly’ in glowing paths and journey adown the vale of life hand in hand with one that lovesyou ‘.l o esl “And you,” addressing another: young girl, “will lead & life of joy and have lo¥.ing children to cling around your kneess,”. “But to you, sir, T'eannot predict always good luck. Changes will come, and it rests with yourself either .to copguer or be conquered.” R e e e This last was spoken to.a handsome iyoung fellow who was desperately in love with Elise Sutherland.. = = & Interested in the manner of the old hag I drew nearer, and catching sight-of me; she eyed me with such a piercing look that I felt she was' almost reading my thoughts, = -0 o 0 b “You are not of this land,” : she said; “but come from a country far away. Ruin and bloodsbed bave visited your land and left it dotted with many graves. You have/traveled much and mingled: a great deal in the world, but experience, thbﬂ%h a good tedcher, has tought you but, little. Adversity and sorrows -have been yours, adversity and sorrow will hover over you often in the future, and though you will madly love, that love will be taken from you, and when your final hour shall come, no mother’s or sister’s hand shall soothe its bitternleas” - - - e ““Why, old Laurie, you seem savageto - ‘ward my guest,” said Mr.,” Sutherland, laughing. Con s e “Let her go on, I pray you,” I exclaimed. “Indeed lam interested ~in what: ghe bastosay.? o B e “What olse have I tosay ? For ‘after death, silence reigns,’” she answered. - “Gipsy Laurie, tell my fortune” . It was Bertram Sutherland that spoke, and I felt a regret at seeing him. come forward toward the old woman, fer 1 knew whatever she said to him, it wounld: make an impression upon his' superstitiohsmature. o G

“Yes, I'll tell your fortuwe; but it had best remain untold, for dark blood spots upon the future. I see in you 'a victim, and a sudden, fearful death'in’a foreign land, aloné and at night, when uo friendly ear will hear your déath cry, and where. the wild beasts of the ' forest will howl your requiem.’- 0 cocaon g ol “Be still, woman, and cease this mock--ery,” I exclaimed, positively frightened by the deadly pallor that overspread Ber tha’s face. Bran el e His tather noticed it also, and, giving the old gypsy a pound, ordered the.butler to take her out and have her well. éared: for for the night, 2t . &« oo ¢ Two weeks longer I remained withmyfriends, and then started: for London; as it was my intention to leave In,a short. time for the East.: - Before leaying, how--ever, I had a long talk with Bertram, and was astonished and pained to see whata deep impression the old gypsy's wordshad made upon him. I tried to langh him out of It, telling him she had not given me & cheerful fortune to anticipate ; but he was serious, and warned me not to regard what she had said too lightly, . = . We parted the best of friends—he to return to his home, and I to start upon my. travels through eastern lands in .quest of pleasure and adventure. o 0 - Two years more were added to my age wheu I found myself in Australia, - I had. kept up a regular correspondence with Bertram Sutherland, and the last letter T had reseived frem him was from Sydney, ‘Australia, where he had gone the year before to look after some business for his father. = pratn U R He urged me to visit him at the planta--tion of his'uncle, who had been living in the country for & number. of - years, and promised me a kangaroo hunt if I would come.
