T e ot e W ey THE WIDOW BARLOW. : BY MARY DALLAS. . . Peter Buskirk was very fond of money; not so fond that he quite starved himself to keéep it, or hid it up' the chimney, or. refused himself fire or lights or a pillow; but yet so very fond of it as to be on the verge of miserhood without having quite fallen over. Beggars reaped no harvest from his purse or kitchen, and snatchinakers could make no impression” on this bachelor heart. Peter Buskirk saw through the latter as well :as the former, and buttoned up his pocket as hastily in the presence of the bewitching crinoline as in that of aseedy gentleman with a folded document in his‘breast-pocket. The men wanted:to rob him, the women to marry him. The last was the worst. Not that Peter hated women; on the contrary, even at fifty he was susceptible; a bright eye put him in a-flutter. But.the fact was, women, as wives or daughters, were expensive. They needed clothes, and were fond of dainties. . They were proverbially extravagant. = Should he marry one she would spend his money while helived, and squander it after he was dead. And, with this awful terror before him, Peter steered clear of the shoals of matrimony. ‘ i

There .was one inconvenience in this bachelorhood, however. That was the housekeeping; foritinvolved a . servant—some one to make-beds, wash dishes, cook and iron. In‘short, the servant-of-all-work was always the bane of Peter’s life—eating and drinking in a manner which kept the master of the house in a continual frement; wasting butter and fuel, and each change in the kilchen’s incumbrance being followed by the mysterious disappearance of towels and napkins and such small ware. There was no rest for good Mr. Buskirk. ~ He tried Betty and Dinah and Mary andAnn, and then, in despair, flew to a certain’ Mrs. Brown, the giver-ot teaparties innumerable, for advice. ‘ “Servants are sad plagues,” said Mrs. Brown. e “Eat you out of house and home,” said Peter. o “Not to be reliedupon for honesty,” she said. , " “Thieves, ma’am, thieves!” said Peter.. | v ‘ e ‘ - “Ah,” said Mrs. Brown, “a getleman has no time to watch them. Now, I would advise marrying, Peter Buskirk.’, i S [ ; 3 i “Marrying!” @ ; - “Yes, sir; a wife ean manage such things so much better. Besides, if vou choose a smart. capable woman, she will keep an eye .on the servant. It would be much more economical to marry.” . ; i : “Economical!” yelled Peter; “my good lady! Eeco—l—Oo, goodness! Feathers and flowers, laces and silks, and rings and—and ice’ cream and things—economical! How many yards of cloth do you take for a dress, Mrs. Brown ? ‘ # “Well, sir, twelve ‘or thirteen—somstimes, when it is silk, you know, it takes eighteen.” ! T | “HEighteen yards, at five shillings or 80 a yard, and net one dress, but twenty. My good lady, it would be enough to ruin a man.” -i, Mrs. Brown reflected. “But if you ‘could find an economical woman, Mr. Buskirk.” : “Ah! and if I could only fiud a mermaid.” s e

*One - who neVer wasted a penny.” “She does not exist, ma’am.”

“Who lives on next to nothing. The fact ‘is, Mr. Buskirk, I have such a woman in my eye. She’s a widow—quite a young: one— Mrs. Barlow, and I'll have herrat Peach House next week.” ‘ i

‘Peter grinned sarcastically. “Economy in hoops and bonnets,” he said to himself. “They want to marry me and spend my money.” - And he went home wroth. -

However, economy forbade him to refugse an invitation to, dimner; and when, a week after Mrs. Brown sent “compliments,” ete, Mr. Buskirk donned his Sunday suit and went over to the Peach House at five precisely. The parlor was full of ladies in silks and | muslins, with -crinoline, and flounces. Most of them Mr. Buskirk knew well, and he looked in vain for a'stranger, ~ Mrs. ‘Brown’s note had said : '

“Mrs. Barlow will be with us.” But which was that economical widow ? = Probably the lady in the green silk near the piano. e could naot remember her face. :

Suddenly Mr. Buskirk’sdoubts were set at rest. - Mrs. Brown ejaculated, 1 “Dear me! where is cousin Betsy? J Mr. Buskirk, you must be introduced | to Mrs. Barlow;” and at these words something small and .flat emerged ' from between two portly dames, and stood before him. =~ It was a yery short' and slender little woman, with a remarkably pretty face. Bhe wore no hoops, and her dress cleared her ankels. The sleeves were close and ;the skirt had perhaps three breadths in it.. The dress itself was of very plain merino, and she wore neither broach nor bow, only a white linen collar. Peter looked approval. Several of the ladies exchanged glances, and a faint giggle was heard; and, as though by a common consent, thetwo were left to-a tete-a-téte in a corner. - “Pleasant day,” said Peter to commence the conversation. *“Pleasant day, but cold.” . o o “Al, yes; but I dislike cold weatherﬁ’._said the lady. : wome “Don’t agree with you, ma'am?" “0, that’s not it. lam never ill; ‘but cold weather is so expensive. Lights early and coals dear,” proceédo the lady. ~“Money shps through eTP Anl 1 herie Wi W e exaolly” sald s

" LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1876.

“It’s astonishing how things cost. Now there is butter—say a pound a fortnight.” ; ; . “0, I never eat butter; it costs too -much,” said the lady. . s . © ®#Ah! and sugar and tea and coffee.” - “If you indulge in such luxuries, whiat can you expect ?” said Mrs. Barlow. : ; : ; “They are artificial ‘wants altogether, so they are,” said Mr. Buskirk, “But then, habit is second nature.” “Extravagant habits ruin many,” said Mrs. Barlow. “O, J shudder when I look at those flounces—such a waste of material.” ; s ““I’ve often thought 80,” said Peter, “And you don’t wear them?” . “I?” suid Mrs. Barlow. “I have my senses, sir; I've no wish to die in a work-house. I've had this drees ten years; - : ; “Indeed!” said Peter. “And I suppose some ladies buy one about every, month.” 5 “Every ten days,” said Mrs. Barlow. *O, ‘I blush for my sex, Mr. Buskirk. I do, indeed.” S Peter was charmed. °He began to. think Mrs. Brown right, The cost of such a wife would be a mere trifle, and what an eye she would keep to the expenses of the houschold. : Ere. .the evening was over he had decided that it would be cheaper to marry than to remain single, were Mrs. -Barlow his helpmate. | “She’d not only be saving herself, but she. would check me in my little extravagances,” said he. “She would be -invaluable to me; she wears one dress ten years. . The fates must have Sel’lt her to earth for my Bpecial benefit.” b

So, after due consideration, Peter resolved to court the economical wid-ow,-and, that lady being conveniently domiciled at Mrs. Brown’s .he found every opportunity. et ~ It was a very inexpensive courtship. He gave-her nota present. She expected none. - He took her nowhere save tg church, where neither of them ever -saw the plate, and both were happy.. <

At last he proposed. = She blushed and hesitated, and begged time to consid,er, © At'last she said, “I am afraid to say yes, Mr. Buskirk. " I like you; but you are so terribly extrawvagant. You drink tea and coffee, and eat butter, and, really I should fear coming to want, I should, indeed.” “I! Why, I'm the mosteconomical soul living,” said Peter. _ “Extravagant people always think that,” said the lady. No, I'm afraid to say yes, indeed, were you to make your ‘property over to me, so that I could be sure that you would notruin yourselt. Of course that is impossible, and it would be such a care that really I could scarcely desire it, even for a gentleman of whom I have s 0 much respect.” f ] And the economical relict blushed and hesitated. : ; It was Peter’s turn to pause and consider. He 'went away to do so, aud, returning suddenly to his house, found his_ servant-maid selling dri{pping to a man. He'dismissed her at onee, and rushed back to ghe’ Widow Barlow’s. .

“My money would be safer in your hands than mine,” he said with a moan. - “Marry me, and keep me from being ruined.” . , What the widow’s answer was may be judged from the fact that three weeks from that daysthey were united, the clergyman receiving five shillings from Peter, and the' bride wearing her merino, in the pocket of which she carefully deposited the deeds which made the property exclusively. her own. 5

“Now for happiness,” said Peter. “No more thieving servants—no more waste—and a lovely wite into the bargain. He, he, he! Peter Buskirk .is the man for luck.” : And he took his bride home to dine on cold meat and radishes, being absolutely ashamed even to speak of his accustomed mutton chop before so economical a lady. L The next morning he hurried off to business. - 7 aot i )

*Never waste time, love,” said the newly married dame. “Besides T've a great deal to attend to to-day: so goodbye.” : e e “Good-bye,” responded Peter. “What a treasure you are, my dear. The washing, I suppose? My mother: always washed on Monday.” : And away he went, content with himself and the world." . Sy At six he returned. Horror to horrors! there were ladders against his house, and. men upon them.- Had there been fire ? e rushed up, breathless. ’ s

“Whatis the matter ? Who aréthese men ?” he panted. “Fire! thieves! O! I must be dreaming.” : : “Don’t make a noise, love,” said a voice from the parlor window—“they are only house painters.” . “House —painters!” ] ¢ %Yes, dear. Donl!t you know the Duteh proverb. ‘A coat of paint pays itself.”” BE o ' Peter breathed a@hin. - . “But -the awful expense!” he said. *Dear, dear, you should have consulted me.” | ¢ c ‘He stumbled into the house and over the form of a man kneeling in the hall. | ! v : “Who are you ?” he asked. In reply the person produced a card, on which was printed, “Gilt & Binder, Upholsters.” - “And what are you doing?” gasped Peter.’ i “Measuring the hall for a new -oilcloth, sir,” said the man. . -Peter staggered on: A woman was making up a carpet in the front parlor; another was arranging curtains. o He rushed up stairs. | And there sat anothe r-woman also abwork, e ‘o - ' Again he gasped the question, “Who | al:e' yOu ?vs . 3 ¥ 3 3 - “Mrs: Buskirk’s regular seamstress, sir,” said the woman. 7 _ “Where is Mrs. Buskirk ?” .

“Here, love,” said a voice. ; And there eutered, from an adjoining room, a lady dressed in silk, and in expensive crinoline, with bracelets, broach, ear-rings, and a little cap worth a small fortune.: . :

“The furniture is ordered, and the painters are here and I’ve engaged all the servants, Mr, Buskirk,” said the lady; “and thé cook wants to know whether you like beef tinder or well done. In such things you shall have your choice always.. There was no time to make the pudding to-day, so we must have ices. Strawberries, too, are only two shillings a basket.”-

“Why, Mrs. Buskirk, have you gone crazy ?” cried Peter, “or am I dreaming?” : > “I'm wideawake at all events,” cried the lady. I've starved long enough, and worn that brown merino until I really despiseit, :I was always fond of dress—" : i Yy “Fond of dress!” repeated Peter; “and loved good things!” ' . : “lioved good things,” repeated the spouse; “and now I'm mariied, I mean to have them.” Lial o _ When is a man obliged to keep his Jrord—When nobody else will take

The truth was plain at last. +«He tried to speak, but could not. He stared at his lady for five minutes by the clock, and then rushed out of the house, muttering, “Taken in! taken in!” : It 18 said ‘Peter Buskirk never re--covered the shock. Against his will he lived luxuriously ever after: and his wife astonished the neighbors by her magnificent attire and grand parties. But nevertheless Peter himself expired in less than a year; and the last words on his Hps were said to be, “Taken in! taken in}"? : o 4 . Lel & ——— e Z Rate of Interest. The rate of interest on money varies very greatly in different portions of the Union. In the East it is lmuch lower than in the West. As the States grow older and as society and business becomes more crystalized, the rates of interest become less. ‘lntimately asspeiated with the question of interest, is ‘that of usury. Each State takes upon itself to define what shall 'be the legal rate of interest and what shall be called usury. The following stafement shows the positions of the various States and Territories on this subject: Lo - In seventeen of the States and Territories the interest laws are free, the rate being regulated |by contraet. They are as follows: . Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, California, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, .Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Wy‘oming, and Washington Territory. In the following seventeen States and Territories the rate is free to be fixed between the lender and the borrower up to' 10 per cent., and in a few of them 12 per cent., or more, may be contracted for, viz: District of Columbia (by Congressional action,) Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, - Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee, lowa, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska, Oregon, Dakota, New Mexico, and Idaho. Inthree States the maximum rate is 8 per cent., as follows: - Ohio, Louisiana, and North Carolina.

The idea which has taken hold of many persons in the last few years, that any. town of a few hundred inhabitants! can support a newspaper, is being realized by those who have experimented upon it to be a “fraud and a delusion.” - The Enterprise has been conducted with more -than ordinary ability since its establishment, yet there was no chance for its existence unless the -dollars and cents were forthcoming. - The Union regrets its departure from its birthplace, and hopes 1t ma¥y fare better in the land of its adoption, at the ‘same tine its demise is only a question Jf time, and while its editor.and publisher may devote his means and energy to the work, he will find’ himself strangling for want of patronage. The Uniof, like most country’ ixewspalgzrs,'has had practical experience and knows whereof it speaks. Newspaper property is perhaps the most expensive i the hands of the inexperienced that they can get a hold of, yet almost any person- who believes himself capable af writing an item has confidence of making a newspaper a success. According -to the amount ‘invested. in the newspaper business, there is more dead capital in it than in almost any other business.” Knowing the amount of labor:even a small country paper requires, we regret to see our brethren unsuccessful. : : e ll} < — i A Third Term Rebel., Col. Swann, of Charleston,: West Virginia, has written a letterito the Charleston Journal, in which he strongly ‘urges the claims 0f Grant for a third term, This same Swann, in 1861, was the “bloodiest rebel” in ‘the Soutli, but, at the close of the war he married a cousin of Gen. Grant and became the most furious Radical in West Virginia. His remarkable conversion to the.radical faith, and being a friend of Grant,’secured him high rank among the administration favorites, and now, in the excess of his gratitude, the “patriotic” Colonel pronounces for Grant ‘and a third term. It may benefit those who delight to herald Grant’s love for the Union soldier to state that during the war Swann presented a rifle to a rebel soldier in the following patriotie and Union-loving language: i i “Pake this rifle; it has seen good ‘service. It has on it, as yousee, thir-ty-two notches. Xach one represents a dead Yankee.. See that .it continues to do good service.” A As Swann is one'of Grant’s especial favorites, and Grant is praised for his love of the Union soldier and hatred ‘to rebels, we commend the above cir‘camstance as a fine sample of the hy‘pocrisy of the republican party and all that savorsit. - - pEfa

Rational Medication. Lo Medication is only suceessful when it is rational, and it is rational only when it begins at the beginning.-iln other words, to- cure a malady, its cause must be removed. Weakness, either general or local, is the origin of the great majority of diseases.— Reinforce the vital enexrgies,, regulate digestion and secretion, by strength ening the organs which perform those all-important functions, and dyspepsia, constipation, - kidney ' and:. bladder complaints, uterine difficulties, impure circulation, and the thousand and one ailments which are the consequences of debility, are completely, and in ‘most cases permanently, removed. The best, safest, and most agreeable tonic and. alterative .that can be employed for this' purpose is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. . The. experience of twenty-five years, during which timé€ it has outlived 'perhaps ten times that number ephemeral preparations which have entered into competition with it, has proved it to be unequaled as a remedy for all disorders accompanied by or proceeding from weakness. = - 41-wa.

- INDIANA INDEPENDENTS. State Convention of Greenbackers. Platform Adopted and Tjcket Nomi- : , - nated. - ; ) Landers for Governor---His Acceptance. '(‘»_ INDIANAPOLIS, February 16.—The Greenbackers of Indiana, in Independent Convention assembled, have nominated a full State ticket on the anti-resumption and abolition of National Banks platform. = ; “E. A. Olleman, who had stood shoulder to shoulder with “Plan” Buchanan in the Greenback movement, called the Convention to order promptly at half-past 10 o’clock,and Hon. Anson ‘Wolcott, of Monticello, was selected as permanent Chairman: On taking the Chair, Mr. Wolcott spoke of the importance of the Convention and advocated the idea that a domestic currency b’ackpd by the faith of the Nation was as good as coin for all doméstic purposes. In his argument he said that coin as a basis is an impossible condition, and from qur standpoint it is greenbacks or nothing. He was applauded to the echo, and the organization then proceeded in good order by the election of exAuditor H. R. Harris, of LaPorte county, as Secretary, the announcing of delegates and committeemen and electors. When the roll was called 420 responded, representing 816 ballots of an electoral State vote of 1,815, thus showing that iwhile all districts were on hand by delegates except the Thirteenth, the sentiment of” those districts,~taken as-a whole on the electoral basis, was not more than half vepresented. .Some [voting was done by proxy, but not mucli, and the determination and unanimity of feeling augured “big things” in the coming canvass for the greenback ci'eed, | The meeting was then enthusiastically opened by the hearty adoptior of the following Joiet

e PLATFORM.: o “We, the;lndependent people of Indiana, being impressed with the necessity of ‘a unity of action to secure a reform in the administration of the affairs of State, the better to secure relief to the toiling masses against the extrayagance and corruption that have éntered’ into every department of Goverjxment., and to secure such a radical change in the financial policy as shall insure the benefit of all cldsses of. American citizens alike, do hereby make declaration of our principles, and invite the co-operation and support of all true men. ;

~ “1. We demand the immediate and unconditional repeal of the Specie Resumption Act of January 14, 1875.

“Re:olved, That it is the duty of the Government to establish a monetary system 'based upon the faith and resources of the nation, in harmony: with the genius of this ‘Government and adapted to the demands of legitimate business. = :

“Resolved, That the ' circulating notes of all National and State banks, as well as all local currency, should be witherawn from circulation, and a paper money issued by therGovernment in payment of and exchange for its obligations, directly to the people, without the intervention of any system of banking corporations. = . *“Resolved; That such money shall be a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, duties on “imports included (exeept that portion ~of the interest and principal of the public debt that is by the “express terms of the, law creating it .made _payable in methllic money shall so be ‘paid); this money to be interchange~able at the option of the holder with Tegistered Government bonds bearing ‘arate of'interest not exceeding 3.65 .per cent. per annum. . : . ‘. “We demand that the present bonded debt of the country be refunded, as speedily as posSsible, into reglstered mterchangeable bonds, that shall bear interest at a rate not 'exceeding 3.65 per cent. per annum. . | “That as the public, domain is the rightful heritage of the people, it should not be distributed to the spec--ulators or corporations, but reserved for actual settlers, and we favor the giving to each of the Union soldiers of the late war 160 acres of said land of the public domain; without condition or occupation. . | “We demand and insist upon severe retrenchment and economy. in all branches of the public service. ' - “We recommend the adoption of this resolution, indepegdent of the platform: e : “Resolved, That while we regard the attempt to drag the common school question into the coming campaign as. ‘unnecessary, yet we do not/hesitate to declare it as our;well-considered opinion that the:fund set apart by the ' State for educational purposes should ever -remain one and uudivided, and that no part of it should ever be de~gted to the maintenance .of any sec--tarian or denominational school whatever.” ¥ pae e !

‘ GOVERNOR. o ‘As was expected by all who had heard the remarks and preferences of delegates’ on the evening before, the nomination for Governor was soon disposed of by dcceptingunanimously and by rousing acclamation the name of. Hom.. Franklin lLanders, whose consistency%o. the greenback principles on which he was elected to Congress has made him mm'lgted as a favorite of all financial reformers. The 'only doubt seemed to be whether Mr. Landers would accept the nomination, and there were calls for telegrams. The Chairman, in response, read a message just received from the Congressman, saying: '“I hope you understand I will rise or fall with the greenback question.” There was no further debate and the name went through with three rousing cheers. |

LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR. ' Hon. Anson Wolcott, of Monticello, the Chairman of the Convention, and a man of great prominence in th northern portion of the State, Wa% next nominated for the second place on the ticket by aeclamation. In 1866 he was elected State Senator from five northern counties, on the Republican ticket, and bolted from tha Republican caucus which nominated Cum“back in 1869, and afterward elected Pratt to the United States Senate. “Since then he has been a sympathizer ~with the Independent cause, and is /now one of its most able advocates. 'He is handsome, rich, and talented, and about sixty years of age. Mr -Wolcott, when called on for a speech, ‘thanked the Convention tor%!?ﬁfhm%? conferred, and pledged his Wf G- T S [ MRS S S SRI R R e

e R e eTR W S ARy tion for this office—Leroy Templeton, of Benton county, and D. P. Anderson, of Lawrence. The latter atonce declined, leaving Templeton the field. He was nominated by acclamation at once. Heis an,int_;elgigent, prepossessing farmer and cattle-drover, of large means, and, though an old-line Republican, has been for sometime in sympathy with the Independent movement. He changed colors ‘when the Resumption /Actof ’69 was passed. ",s AUDITOR OF STATE. '

~ Two names, were also placed in 'nomination for Auditor-- Morris NI ‘Bundy, a farmer of .Henry county, “and Uriah Coulson, of Sullivan—and on this fight the cdll of the counties was taken for the first time. It showed fifty-nine of the ninety-two represented, those without delegates being Adams, Allen. Brown, Carroll, Cass, Clarke, Crawford, Daviess, De_catur, Dubois, Elkhart, Floyd, Gibson, Harrison, Huntington, Jefferson, Jennings, Knox, Kosciusko. LaGrange, Martin, Marshall, Noble, Orange, Po‘sey, Pulaski, Ripley, Rush, Scott;, Spencer, Starke, Union, Wabash, Warrick, Washington, Wells and Whitley.: Bundy’ received 540 votés of the’ 816, and his nomination| was then made unanimous. He lis. forty-five years of age, of Republican a.hte'ce-" dents, but has been an Independent since 1872. ! ] . TREASURER OF STATE: . % {Now came the tug of war, and the violence it developed was startling. At the caucus Jast night no name was seriously ;brought into competition. with that'of Col. B. C:Shaw, present incumbent, and a man ‘of the people in every sense of the word. He was brought forward by Joe Loftin, of the Marion delegation, and at the same time the name of J. Q. A.Newsom, of Bartholomew county, was-put, before the Convention. It was cut and dried for Shaw till some one exploded with the information that Shaw. was expecting to be renominated by theJ Democrats and hoped to make himself ‘ strong by the Independeht vote, but ‘that in the race he would‘run as the Democrat he has always been. At“ once there was an uptroar.. Shaw was a plotter; Shaw couldn’t carry Water% on both shoulders and use the Independents as a plaything; and the absurd notion was advanced that the Convention wanted nominees untram--meled -by any political faith but an Independent one. This.on top of the nomination of Landers, who has never departed and neyer will, from his Democratic creed. Attempts were made by friends of Shaw to smother ‘this enmity, but they failed, and Newsom sailed in by acclamation, much to. the chagrin of. the Independent wire-pullers, who saw their. strength lay in taking a majority of the present Democrats in office. Newsom i§’ a rich Granger and -a Quiker, and a man of very ordinary ability. He is ~apparently forty vears of age, and was ‘one of the greenback fathers in this State. It was during this debate that H. M. T'riplett, a chroni¢ revolutionist from Monroe, fired uff a speech against all who bore the name of Democrats, saying the party had broken all its pledges of 1874, and ‘was no longer to be trusted. e ATTORNEY-GENERAL. . =

Wm. A. Peale, of Wayne, and Wm: P. Tipton, of Fountain, were the nominees. Peale soon withdrew, and Tipton won the raee by acclamation. He is ex-Judge of the Common Pleas Court .in his district, an old Democrat, with a greenback creed, and stands well in the communijty.: - While the :Attorney“General question was pending, some one moved to adjourn until after dinner. This was | withdrawn for the “Plan” to introduce -a, res_olu&ion lindorsing Hon. Newton Booth, Senator from California, as an independent candidate for. President: in 1876, whieh resolution was carried by .not quite a. unanimous vote. . The motion to adjourn ‘was then put and carried unanimously- ) : ’ 8 ’ s . | AFTERNOON SESSION. - ‘_,4 - Upon reassembling arésolutioxrwa's'{ put upholding the Hon. Peter Cuoper, of Nti)w York, for the Presideney, and Senator Booth for the Vice-Presiden-cy, but the matter was quietly tabled, and the Convention proceeded to nominate the.balance of the ticket. . = - . Rohert 8. Blount, of Greene, and Alex. Gow, of Vanderburg, were put in nominationfor Superintendent of Public Instruction, and again the Conyention showed the length of its ears by insisting that a man must be a teacher of gréenbacks. Blount was nominated, though he is only twentythree years of age,and he succeded against Gow, whose experience covers nearly twenty years, Thatiis the weakest nomination on' the ticket, ‘without exception. j 4 0 “W. W. Conner, of Noblesville, Hamilton county, was declared /the nominee for Supreme Court Clerk. 'He is ﬁf-ty-ﬁvg years old, and of Republican antecedents, and will run well. Charles H. Knight, of Brazil,: Clay county, was “acclamated” for Supreme Court Reporter. He is a young man of promise, and has been eight years in office at Brazil, as Clerk and Recorder. ' e T

Finally the slate was completed, about five o’clock, by the nomination of the four following Judges for the Supreme Bench: i . ° S | First District—Judge Parrett, of Vanderburg. ; LT e ‘Second District—J. D, Haynes. = =

“Third District— H. C. Newcomb, of Marion. . ¢ Lo G Fourth District—N. R, Lindsey, of Howard., baE s e i . The ‘Convention adjourned after sending greeting to the Greenback Convention at Decatur, Illinois, and to Hon. Wm. Kelley, of Pennsylvania. Some mistakes were made which, it is thought, will seriously weaken' the ticket. | Ll ‘ LANDERS ACCEPTS. e,

Thomas H. Wilson, one of the oldest, best and most-highly esteemed citizens of No‘ble county. - Mr, Wilson was born in Bucks county; Pa., Feb. 20, 1797, At about the age ot twelve years his‘parents moved with their family to Ohio, settling near Chillicofhe, and after--wards in Champaign county, where, ‘amidst the scenes and. privations incident to a then new and almost uninhabited county, with no advantages of an education save the instructions ‘given by his father at the fireside, he 'grew to manhood. Possessing more than ordinary physical ability, with excellent judgment and never-flagging perseverence, he was well adapted to frontier life, and what he undertook | to do he did promptly and well. © He cleared up two farms, one for his f;z-l thet and one for himself, almost sin-gle-handea and :alone. On the 14th of August, 1821 he married Miss Mary Neal, of the same county, and with her lived on his farm there until Sep‘tember, 1836, when with his family he removed into Sparta township; this | ‘county, and in October, 1845, to- Wash- } ington townshjp, where he resided | until the time of his death, which oecurred on the 7th inst., and at which date he lacked only thirteen days of being 79 years of age. ina . Fully realizing the value of education, Mr. Wilson' improved.-every opJportunity .to acquire’ useful infornmation himself and was ever foremost 'in_his neighborhood to establish and ‘maintain good schools for thejeducation of his' own and his neighbor’s children: .~ He always felt a great in‘terest in the:prosperity of his, county \and State, but never sought their offices.. And yettduring the first twelve ‘years of his life i Indiana e was almost constantly holding’some offige of ‘trust, either of the county or State. At first he served asa justice of the peace. then county commissioner, then as associate judge of the circuit court, and, lastly, hie served two consecutive terms in the State Legislature. . e was a ‘man of liberal” views and generous ‘impulses; faithful and true in. his. frigxxdsh-ips, _aiid“ ‘was ‘greatly loved ‘and ‘respected- by all with whom' he associated. He lived an eminently ‘christian dife for oyer’ forty-three years and djed in the full triumph of a living faith. His christian life and integrity were above suspicion. e “was successful in business and provided well for.all of his children, and left a'fine estate at his death. During his long lifehe wus neveér sued for debt, never executed a mortgage, nok turned the poor hungry or desti“tute from his door. His long wedded life, nwearly fifty-five years, was never sullied by aharsh or unkind word. He ‘leaves an amiable and loved wif¢, one, .daughter (Mrs. 1.. B. Eagles), and six sons, all-of whom, together with an esteemed brother from Galesburg, 111., were.in attendance at his death-bed. Truly'a good man hag fallen,
