STATE MENTION. -

THAT ambitious burg, Warsaw, the capital of Kosciusko county, decided in favor of adopting a city charter, at a special election held on the 19th inst., by a majority of 78 votes. s

ELKUART COUNTY has a few heavy tax-payers. The Lake Shore & Michigan Soutliern Railway Company, for example, pay taxes to the amount of $10,688.05; The Elkhart Paper Mill $955; the Wabash road $365.33; the Canada Southern (unbuilt) $180; Jno. Cook, of Elkhart, a little over $l,OOO. W. A. Thomas is the heaviest' taxpayer in Goshen. - 5

CANDIDATES for the Governorship are already being suggested. On part of the Republicans, the following gentlemen are being named: ' General ‘Ben. Harrison and Judge J. C, Dénny, of Indianapolis; Lieutenant Governor Sexton, of Rushyille, and State Senator George W. Friedly, of Bedford. On the democratic side of the house the mnames of W.E. Niblack and Judge W. S. Holman so far occupy the mosb prominence.

JOURNALISTIC BLACKGUARDING cannot always be carried on with impuinity. The offender some time reaps the reward of his dirty work, as fwitness the following: abme -time ago Elwood Pleas, of the New Castle Cour-

ier,sued John B. Deem of the Knightstown Banner for libel, and obtained a judgment for $1,300.. The other week the sheriff levied on the type and material of the Banmner establishment, but T.’B. Deem, a brother of the defendant, replevied the property, claiming it as hisown. &

' STARR, who is anything but a vicious or ferocious ink-slinger, mentions somebody’s dishonest proclivities in this wise: On Saturday eveninglast a lady of this city lost her portemonnaie, containing a little over $2O, There is Lo question but that the: purse was found, and as there were papers in it indicating to whom it belonged, the finder has no excuse for not returning the purse and money to the rightful owner. Finding money and keeping it, under such circumstances, is stealing in its most contemptible form, and if the finder’s conscience don’t goad him to commit suicide some day, we hope he will marry a red-headed, clubfooted female woman, and be the miserable father of seventeen cross-eyed, onion-eating children. Justice is })011nd toovertake him sooner or later.” Very likely; but are you not wishing thé poor fellow too much bad luck ?

Tur Elkhart County Agricultural Society held its annual meeting in the city 6f Goshen on the 17th of April. The following named gentlemen were elected officers for the current year: President, Albert Osborn; Vice President, A. P. Wrig}it-; - Treasurer, Jos. C. Beck; Secretary, John W. Irwin. The society {ixed the time for holding their next Fair on the 22d, 23d, 24th and 25th days of September next, and directed notifications to be given all neighboring societies of the same, with power to the officers to change the time if the same may materially conflict with the Fairs of adjoining counties. By the report of the treasurer, Mr. Joserh C. Beck, it was shown that the total reeeipts of the society from all sources during the year was %1, 601.94; total expenditure, for premiums and all matters, $1,106.03 ; leaving a balance in the treasury of $495.91,

' SENATOR SLATER, who labored zealously forthe repeal of the Baxter law, says in tis Democratic Herald: “The saloon ksepers, although not liable for any pemlty for violations of any of the provisions of the present law until afterthe next session of the Commission:rs” Court, are holding themselves lhund by its prowisions to about the sane extent as when theé law is actuall; in force. They deserve credit for thi, and if they will assist in breaking down the illegal establishments ifter the law comes into foree, they wil take a step towards breaking down ihe temperance party and organizations. Whenever the jcrying evils flom drunkenness stop, temperance oganizations will disband and. saloon keepers will not be bothered any npre. .We have suggesteil this severa times. Stop selling to drunkards sid help punish those who violate the law in this respect and we can all -be happy and contented.” This seemts to us very good advice and oughtto be heeded by those to whom it is dreeted. : o

DE.AWARE COUNTY has a bit of local excitement. Her republican auditor, abram J. Buckles, is in a bad stew, His traubles came about in this way: = When he was a candidate for renomination, the Munecie News charged him with malfeasance in office and made such a fuss about it that he was not an available candidate, as he could not poll the Granger vote, and it was feared that even: Delaware county could not’be cawied in that contingency. So tiff 7 cast him out. ‘But public opinie 9, smanded more ‘than this, and gl Rould be satisfled with nothiyg short of an investigation. A egnmittee examined the books of theauditor’s office dnd discovered that Buckles was a defaulter to the amountpf about $15,000. When confronted wih the evidence of the charge, Buckls’ bold and defiant manner deserted §m, and he offered to make restituti® by giving up all his tangible propery, amounting to some $12,000.

LIGONIER, NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1875.

SYRACUSE, a lovely little place along the B. & O..railroad, has peculiar advantages as a resort for pleasure-seek-ers. But before it can fully meet the wants of the -public, .certain: things have got to be done by .its citizens. What these are, may be ascertained from the subjoined paragraph, which we clip from last’ week’s Enterprise: “There has been some talk of placing a small steamboat upon the lake here for the use of pleasure parties who visit us and who usually spend several days if not weeks in the enjoyment of the beautiful lake scenery. These parties are becoming more frequent every season, and as we are now connected with points east and west by rail, we expect to see double the number here in the future than have visited us in the past. We liave the natural advantages here to mzlxke this a noted-resort gor those seeking recreation and pleasure, and it is only necessary for us to furnish the necessary ‘accommodations, in order to insure a ‘greatly increased influx of visitors of that class. Inthe first place we must have a large and cdmmodious hotel, and in addition' we must furnish the means by which that which is.enjoyed and sought for by the pleasure-seeker, and which pature has so bountifully bestowed upon this portion of the country, can be shown off to advantage to strangers who visit us to while away the summer months.” |

< SouND DocTRINE.—The editor of the Valparaiso. Messenger reasons soundly when he says: -If a man expects to be ‘upheld by the public he must practice what he professes. ' The idea of being good Lord and good-devil is entirely “teo thin” for this climate. Take a position and maintain it so long as you are right; when you conclude you are wrong, abandon your position like aman. The person that knows he is in the wrong and refuses to acknowledge it, is ' not ‘what he ought to be, .. )

Mount Union Céllege. The late Chief Justice Chase, as Trustee, sounded the key-note, “Mount Union having the elements of being the best College in the land, should the most freely and widely extend its superior advantages equally to our country’s worthy poor or self-depend-ent.” The Departments—ancient and modern. Classical, Philésophie, Musieal, Fine Art, Preparatory—unsurpassed in miodern Facilities and competenf Professqrs. Apparatus and Museums, worth over a quarter million dollars. Superior advantages in Music, Normal Training and Commercial Science. ~ College property donated for benefit of students, worth $451,235,00, enables any persons of either sex, to obtain thorough instruction in any study ana support themgseives; three regular Terms, (Spring, Summer, Fall,) enabling students to earn their College expenses by teaching Winters without falling behind College classes. Board at about $3.00 per week—club and self-board much less. Tuition but a trifle; no contingent or extra charges ; students enter any time. For catalogues, address President O. N. Hartshorn, LL. D., Alliance, or Mt. Union, Ohio. Summer term .opens May 11, offering special advantages.:

FIrTEEN out of the nineteen governments represented at the international postal convention which assembled at Berne, Switzerland, in 1874, to establish a uniform rate of letter pogtage have signified their assent to the rate fixed upon: by the convention. The new rate goes into effect on the first of July, between the following countries: . United States, Great Britain, Germany, Egypt, Roumania, A ustria, Servia, Luxembourg, Holland, Norway, Denmark, Portugal, Switzerland, and Belgium. :The powers which fail to confirm the arrangement up to’ this time are France, Spain, Italy and Turkey. The new charge will be six cents for a single letter rate, and it is likely that the remaining governments will come into the arrangement. = . Jo

—The Baltimore Evening News, of last Saturday, contains the following complimentary notice of an invention of a citizen of our county, of which we have-hithérto spoken: “Our attention was called this morning to a new and useful invention of J. K. Van Arnum, Kendallville, Ind., patentee, consisting of a patent folding chicker}, fruit and vegetable crate, so arranged thdt when empty can be easily folded so as to take about one-fourth the room of ordinary packages, thus facilitating the practice of returning. They are very strong, and a great improvement over all others. The owners have commenced the manufacture of these crates in our city, and will in a few days be able to fill orders.”

—>Speaking of that huge Winneshiek swindle, the ROchester Sentinel very pointedly remarks: “The suit will put many of our citizens to considerable trouble and ‘no littie expense, and Jin the end-may have to pay the prin--eipal and interest on the old notes out against them. The papers are continually warning the people against insurance, patent right and all other, kind ot “sharks” whose business it is to travel over the country and swindle the people, but they heed not the warning, preferring to pay large tuition fees in the school of experience rather than obey the suggestions offered in every county paper at $2 per WO L e o i ~ Camr Scnumz has authborized an Jintimate friend to purchase a suitable ‘mansion in St. Louis for his (Schurz’s) ‘termingd to make that city his perma-

LETTER FROM |[HANSAS. . OswEao, KaN, April 7, 1875, To James Morrell, Sr., Tigonier; Ind.: _ DEAR FRIEND: — Both for the respect I have for you and to make my word good, after so long a delay, and hoping {p add another link to the chain of friendship that already exists. between us, I hastén to pen you a few lines,. * ' Soaee - & XOOB ' We are all gzgll and’ have had but little sickness since we came here.. In fact, .we scarcely bave any sickness here. We have liad a severely cold winter, for Kansas, but it has been a ‘more pleasant winter than I ever spent -in Indiana. There was but little snow or sleet. During the latter part of ‘Mareli the weather was fine and the trees began to leaf out and blossom. | All vegetation commenced to put forth; farmers'sowed their oats, and ‘many planted’ corn, but the weather turned cold the sccond week and all nature seems 1o have ceased her efforts at p;‘ogressi«jg We, have had’ several frosts which we fear will in‘jure the fruit, as it was in full bloom. ‘Corn is coming up, notwithstanding ‘the cold, which is now moderating. Kansas is now passing through a severe ordeal, both on account of the drouth and.the ravages of grasshop--pers and' chinchbugs, neither of which did: us much mischief, as they had pretty well spent their ‘devastating energies befofe reaching us. I was at Peace, in Rice county, on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, when they came there. They came without any warning. ‘The first intimation we had of their approach was as some of us were sitting under the awning at a hotel, just at sunset. ~We saw some-. thing dropping which resembled great flakes of snow, and, on looking up, we | saw the cloud approaching. - It looked fearful, like a great tornado, and almost entirely shut out the light of the sun. At first the sight was beautiful. Just as the sun was setting, by the aid of its:reflecting rays, we could see the air full of something which looked like great flakes of snows;apparently several miles in height. The next morning the whole face of the’ earth was so completely covered with these insects that it was with- much difficulty that we could travel without getting our eyes beat out by them, rand they flew into the horses’ faces in such great numbérs that we could scarcely travel. They made their appearance on Sabbath evening and before the end of the week they had stripped the ‘land of every living thing, giving the whole ‘earth the appearance of dreary winter. A more. pitiful and heart-rending sight I have never beheld® Some were angry, others were scrrowful and would even cry over their destitution. I will confess that I could sce. nothing but -starvation staring them in the face, ‘for there was n’t a cornfield, nor garden, nor anything else for either man or beast to subsist on, in several counties. I returned home in great hope that the plague would not reach Labette. Butin a short time some of them reached us, though not in such numbers as t 0 do us much mischief. The sufferers soon:found out that this county, with Cherokee and Montgomery counties,i was an oasis in the great desert, and they flocked in here by the hundred to spend’the winter, where they could get something for themselves and stock to-subsist upon. Most of them have returned to their homes, almost heart-broken, without money to buy seed, feed or clotl;ingﬂ. The future to them& is surely dark. Others, who were too poor to get away, are left here for us to feed, which is costing this city hundreds of dellars. We are pleased with this country, but when we think of the old homestead and the friends ‘we have left in Indiana, our affections are there. I like my new occupation (dealing in Agricultural Implements,” Hardware, etc.) and my partner very much, but trade is not very brisk. ! ;

We have a great many thousand acres of timbered land on the Neosha Bottom that it, is thought will bring good crops of wheat, corn, oats, potag toes, or anything else that is adapted to this climate, ‘with or without rain. This is as good:land as can be found anywhere and can be bought at from $lO to $5 per acre, with some improvements. ‘A good time to buy land easily endtivated. = i

l “LO! THE END IS NOT YET.”? Elder Thurman’s Predictions Have Come to Naught and the Advent- © ists Still Tarry With Us. : _ Again the Adventists have been ‘disappointed. According to the pre- | dictions of those religious fanatics, the 19th day of ‘April last was to have witnessed the appearance of the angel Gabriel, starfding with one foot on the sea and the other on the land, from whose lips will issue the awful sentence, “Time was, time is, but time shall be no more.” The disciples of that peculiar faith were looking forward in hopeful anticipation to the Master’s second coming. - The morning of the 19th dawned, bright and balmy; the noon came, and all was ‘tranquil; the evening approached, ‘and in its solemn twilight the Saints were enrobed for the transfiguration; the night—that awful night—came at length, and, enshrouded in its great, black mantle of darkness, rolled on into a never-ending Eternity, and the world—“moves” just as it did in the days of Gallilleo! But there has been ‘a mistake somewhere and the Advent--Ists faith is terribly shaken. The ‘Chicago Tribune of April 21st contains a detailed account of the meeting of Adventists in that city on the evening of the 19th. The scene was a remarkable and, in some respects, touching one. About one hundred and fifty of the Adventists assembled in their hall; ‘including. both sexes and some children. The band was led by Elder ‘Thurman, an old man of profound ,couvicfions,'pulé life, and long devo- | tion to the faith. In the hall a substantial supper was spread, and it was confidently believed by those present that Christ would appear-in person, | partake of the supper with them, and ‘point the way to glory. Early in the evening a thunder-storm of some violence came up, with sharp lightning. The joy of the Adventists at this ‘event was unspeakable, for they ingerpreted it as a sure sign of the coming of the Lord. -During the prevalence of the storm the excitement ran very high. {The evening wore on, and | at 9 o’clock a];l sat down to supper. There was a sljade of sadness on their faces at the non-arrival of the expect- | ed guest, but hope was not yet lost, 10 and 11 o'cloeck came.. The storm was over, the lightning had ceased and the stars shown out’serenely.— Fatigue and hope deferred began to tell on the deluded band, but still they ‘kept up heart. About midnight; when some were asleep and others were fast losing hope, Elder Thurman rose, and, with tears streaming down his face, confessed ' the failure of, his predictions. . He declared ithat for thirtytwo years he had devoted himself to studying the prophecies, and they all, without exception, pointed to the 19tix of April as the time of the second coming of Christ. He had proven his caleulations over and over, and there could be no mistake—and yet there ' was some mistake. He could not fathom the mystery nor explain. the failure, He only knew: he had done his duty, and that all his life-work had come to nothing. THe declared the burden of his disappointment to be greater than he could bear, and asked | for a speedy release from his sorrows. ‘During his remarks there :was sobbing and subdued excitement.

{The Last Pennsylvania Slave. . Betsy Williams, one of the last of }gennsylvania’s slaves, died in Lewisburg, recently, at the advanced age of seventy-five. | She was purchased by William ' Davis, of Limestone, Montour county, when only eight years old. At the age of eighteen she became free. Her skill as a cook was unsurpassed, and she wielded her ~authority with regal sway in the kitchen. Her fame spread throughout the neighboring country. Many are the recollections possessed by many persons of the royal way in which she browned a turkey. Her doughnuts L were ‘unsurpassed. She was a good friend or a good enemy. She was perfectly identified with the interests of ‘the family with whom'she lived. Her master’s friends were her friends; ‘his enemies, her!enemies; his joys, her joys; his sorrows, her sorrows. As age crept upon her, her manner became remarkably kind and winning. The smallest child did not hesitate to elimb into her friendly lap, and even the brute creation, such as dogs and cats, were attracted toward her, and always found her ready to befriend in all emergencies. The old homestead was at last broken up, an old “Aunty” ‘found a home with one of the daugh- . ters of her old master, Mrs. Dr. Marr, of Lewisburg.! 0 7w STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.—We un_derstand that during the thunder storm of Monday night, the barn of Mr. James 'Mccmndm,i who resides in Jackson township, Elkhart county, a few miles north of Milford, was struck by lightning and before anything could be got out-but the horses, was completely- enveloped in flames.

The cutter said he thought he could get up something, and she entered the office and he took out twenty three sheets of foolscap and three pen holders and set to work, while she held her breath.for fear of disturbing his thoughts. He ground away for a while, seratched 6ut and wrote in, and finally said he'd got the neatest thing that ever went on white mayble. It read: b IN'MEMORY: - g

The Kbi’)ipimi}ian of Whisky Driak- . .‘ T ’x'(.;;‘:;‘—‘-‘m"' ,\ Fas i . The practice of whisky - drinking Jhas arrived at a point in this community where it may be looked upon as | ‘being ‘the one particular erying evil -which: a righteous. public- sentiment should endeavor to control.’ - When -men' neglect their business and their | families, and take the last ten certs -which they can raise, to fill themselves | “with whisky, which, if not well wat- | “ered, would contain enough poison to | kill them syddenly, something should e “done to arrest their downward | -coursé. - We'speak not of the evil in } the light of morals or religion, but .with direct:reference to its-physiolog-“ical and financial aspect. ' Daily we: -see men, whose families need the re--ward of the labor they are by nature -so well fitted to' perform, who have, through strong drink, become mental1y averse and physically unable to support themselves decently, while their families live in sorrow and rags, | ‘deprived of even the necessaries of life, with no heart-to try. to oceupy an: “hongrable position in life,—and all as ‘a result of a father's ‘or husband’s “debaged appetite. . What we have séen, we know. Our opinions are ndt, based o sﬂgateménts ot fanaticalitem-; “perance lecturers; but upon actual ob-; ~servation. It was but a short time -ago thaf a man, past-the average age of life, worked t¥o weeks in this office, and aside: from'‘paying: board, and -small sums of money used during the time, he: had fifteen dollars when he quit work. = He left town a few days: Afterward—ragged, dirty, shivering—. -penniless. “Whisky did it. "It beat him. -It - will. beat anhy man, that “places himself within its power. " . ~ Every provision of law for the pro-: -teetion of inebriates should be rigidly enforced. = Every man. who can control his appetite for liquor, if he has: one, should: use his best -efforts to| throw around the unfortunate influences which will aid thém in every effort they make to break away from the ‘habit. = Driniking to excess brings | poverty. It brings poverty because it’ necessitates a neglect of business, and :because it incapacitates most men for: the: proper. transaction of ‘business.— -Nine-tenths ‘of the haré drinkers are comparatively poor jmen, who have | neither the means nor the time. to waste in following the habit. If it were only tlie rich who indulge in the habif, whieh will eventually crush them; the financial-aspect of the question ‘would not be. entitled to such serious consideration, and if it were ‘only the men who drink to excess, bad as their condition is; who dre damaged in mind, body and estate, the questio,n;{ ‘might be postponed for future ¢onsideration; but when the innocent suffer equally with those ‘who bring ruin, and disgrace upon, them, the qliestion is one demanding immediate' attention. - In reclaiming and:controlling the intemperate, the moderate drinker can accomplish a good "work. By timely advice, which would not be taken from: an ardent temperance ad- | yocate, -he may be able to lead them: from places where the, temptation is | great, and:their powers of self-contrel | easily overcome. If the pernicious fashion of “treating” were abolished, | much drinking would be prevented.— ‘He who asks a manof temperate habits to drink, deserves the severestcon-, demmnation. - It'is an offenee which the laty should take cognizance of, and | whiel-should be followed by: punishment, switt and sure. ek e {~ An effort should be made to ameliorate’ the' condition of those whose misfortunes are attributable to the intemperate use of stong drink. Long 1 and vehenient diatribes against alco- | holic ‘drinks, and those engaged in | their manufacture and sale, have no effect on the men at whom they are aimed, as they are seldom heard by | them, and if heard, only-engender an- | imosities ' and ,hﬁred.» A personal ‘individual effort should be m'%e. Employment, should be furnished them; and .every provisiofi of law ' which | makes it an offense to sell or give lq-< uor to.them should be rigidly enforced. - In this way much good may be -accomplished, by protecting those who | are unable ‘to protect themselves.— V- Plmonth Democrate: oo i o o 0
