—Under 4 new Jaw, township trustees who have held office two terms are made ineligible for a reselection. That makes it f;jretty rough on those townships which have but one man who is capable of|filling the position, as well asin those other townships where a good man occupies the place and the people desire to retain him. We are inclined to agree with the Crawfordsville Journal in regarding this'a very foolish Yaw. - ‘

He has our best wishes for his future prosperity. Lo aks = —The Wolcottville Gazette of last week says: “Senator Weir returned from Indianapolis Thursday, and will now rest from his legislative labors for two years, unless called to an extra session. He was, unfortunately, in poor health all winter, and neither enjoyed or was able to perform his duties as satisfactorily to himself as he would otherwise have done. He rendered efficient and faithful service though, for people.” - —Gov. Williams has signed the “Suspected Felon” act. This matter is one of great importance, and would, if properly enforced, do much to rid the State of thieves, confidence men And swindlers of ‘every description. The Brazil Mirror is of opinion, however, that the act is a little too sweeping, and states that some of the most prominént lawyers in the State say it will not stand the test of the courts.

—The new State House bill provides that for the first year (1877) one. cent shall be levied upon each $lOO of taxable property, and two cents on the $lOO for the year 1878. It also provides that the building shall be erected out of material procured in the State, and that the work shall be performed by men Wwho live in the State—all of which are sensible provisions. _The cost is fixed' at a sum not exceeding $2,000,000, RN © —A bill passed both Houses of the last Legislature: repealing the act requiring lands levied upon and offered for sale te be published in, the newspaper nearest the land. Sheriff’s sales under the new law ‘can be printed in any newspaper in the county without reference to its propinquity 4o the land. A similar law was enacted in 1875, hut through some mistake it was not properly done. A bill was also passed legalizing all sales made by Sheriffs during that time under the supposition that the law was repealed. - Sheriff Xagles, please take notices

—From the Kentland Gazette we learn that D. S. Pence has been appointed superintendent of the public schools of Newton county, vice Prof. B.F. Niesz, resigned. Of this appointment _the Gazetts says: “Mr. Pence has been teaching the Grammar Department of our public school for two years, and is well qualified for the place. We regard the selection as a good cne.” There can be no doubt of that, as David always stood high. in his class. His old school-mates and numerous friends in this vicinity will be pleased to notice that his course is still “onward and upward.” —One of the gallant young editors of the Kokomo Dispatch perpetrates the following: “If men are the salt of the earth, women are the sugar. Salt is a necessity, sugar is a luxury. Vicious men are the salt{)!eter; hard, stern men the rock salt; nice family men, the table salt. Old maids are the brown sugar; good natured matrons, the loaf sugar; pr_etty girls, the fine, pulverized white sugar. We prefer the latter kind 1n our coffee, if you please.” Upon due reflection and careful congideration, we have about reached the conclusion to advocate the same ticket. Eoat e

. —From a “patent outside” we clip the fbllowing: A young man asked if he can “get married and live on a salary of $6 a week.” Well,:let’s see. Say 75 cents a week for cigars, $1 for billiards, $1 for the theater or concert, 70 cents for beer, $3 for house rent, $3 for marketing, $3 for clothes, and $1 for incidentals; total, $13.45. No; we don’t think he could live -on $6 a week, unless he and his wife would be willing to - forego the luxury of clothes and victuals, and move every month a few days before the rent comes ‘due. - Better not get married until his-salary is raised to $7 a week —unless his intended wife is a millinér or dressmaker. - A

—On the fourth page of to-day’s paper will be found some of the more important acts of the Legislature in reference to our school laws, making. some important changes in educational matters, and to which we direct the attention of the public, and of school officers in, particular. In the county board of education, city and town boards of school trustees heretofore had a voice and vote equal to the whole number of their respective boards. Now they have but opb vote; the president of each board being designated as the representative in the county board. Under the old law text books might-be changed once in three years; now a change is only permit‘ted oneg in six years.

Th%’y left Ligonier in a sleigh, and drove out to near Pleasant Valley, where they lost one of their 'sleigh runners, 'They claimed they could not gef their sleigh to balance properly on one runner, so they piled it up against the fence and took the benefit of the deep snow on foot from there to Broadway and led their horse. They comp"laiflned‘ of being very hungry when they arrived and wore sad countenances, although they pretended to feel lively. 1 Elder Brenton Beall‘will preach at the Sparta School house next Saturday night, Sunday at 10 o’clock, and Sunday evening will lecture on “Brass and Brains,” We hope at that time our worthy minister, can depart home in peace, and not have some imbecile that .d@d not pay a cent toward remuneramg him for his services barking at hisiheels and exposing his ignorance before the people by slinging his chunks of nonsense at the preacher. Such conduct reminds us of'the man who sponges all his ’readipg and then publicly condemns the n‘é%vspa; pers. Barring this unmanly conduet, our ministers in Sparta have invariably been treated with due respect. John Ohlwine’s school, at Buzzard’s Glory, closed last Tuesday-a-week.

We are called upon to announce the sad intelligence of a death in our vicinity. This time it is Jacob William, eldest son of Alfred and Elizabeth Roush, who died March 21, 1877; aged 1 year, 5 months and 7 days. The fnneral was preached by Rev.J. Robison, from Job xvii; 13, after which a large circle of friends and relatives followed the remains to the&r last resting-place. We sympathize 'with the bereaved parents, and commend for their comfort the cheering words of Jesus: “Suffer little children.to ‘come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” .

“Last Tuesday a very singular storm occurred, which appears to be quite a phenomenon, Itbegan about 3 o’clock P.M.,and continued until nearly morning. Duringthe afternoon the thunder and lightning played in the heavens in a manner which was at times appalling. Snow and sleet fell almost incessantly, mingled with a shower of rain. During the following evening the atmosphere grew quite cold, freezing the ice upon the trees, which were bending under their loads. This peculiar storm has excited the attention of the old veterans, who say they cannot remember of having ever seen a storm of this Kind continue so long without being followed by very cold weather. Will some weather prophet explain this phenomenon? = Ep,
