For years past the large corporations have bought up inventors’ patents and concentrated ‘their rights, thus enabling themselves to restrict any such general” mih'ufaeture .as might ° interfere with their practical monopoly. T'he grand central patented feature, the needle with an eye near its point, was one to which all the makers paid roy- | alty, and for self-protection they combined to drive dangerous rivals out of the field. The last of these patents in which all the varieties of standard: sewing machines had a common interest was the four-motion 'feé’d, and for months past the combined corporations have been working for arenewal of the patent, but renewal has been denied. Already the prinecipal companies have begun to offer their machines at -largely reduced prices for cash. Up to the present time the Singer Company has taken the lead in. the reduction of prices, and announces that the retail price of its $6O machines will hereafter be $3O for cash, ‘and their $7O styles $4O cash. 'The other companies have made cc;msid_éra- ' ble reductions in their respective price lists.

PENSION AGENCIES CONSOLIDATED. An important and eminently prop?' step has'been taken by the administration, in ordering the consolidation of the agencies for the payment -of army and navy pensions. The official order for this purpose was issued by the President last Monday. Pensloners in the various national homes for disabled volunteers will be paid by the agencyat Washington, D. C. {Agencies are maintained or established, as the case may be, at Philadelphia and Pittsburg, tor Pennsylvania; at Richmond, Va., for the States of North Carolinay Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia; at Columbus, for Ohio; at Detroit, for Michigan ;' at Indianapolis, for Indiana; at Springfield, for Illinois; &c., &c. ' The total’ number of agencies discontinued is forty, leaving 18 to do the work now distributed among fiftyeight offices. It is estimated the reduection will effect a saving to the government of $150,000 per annum. This determination of the -administration will work a discontinuance of the pension agency at Ft. Wayne, and thus throw ‘Capt. Hiram Iddings out of “the snug position which he has held for about eight years. : | Yesterday’s: Chicago T'7ibune thus cordially approves the abolition of these useless offices: fo

The reform in’ the Pension-Agency business is so commendable that the wonder is that it, was not thought of before. Out of fifty-eight costly agencies forty have been; abolished in a day, and, instead of flfe service suffering, the chances are t&at' it will be greatly improved. This Pension-Agen-cy business has been aj-great abuse. Pensions - are mainly paid by letter. The pensioner incloses a receipt for the pension and the agent sends the pensioner a check. . Practically, the whole business might be done at Washington; certainly the eighteen agencies left will be able to perform all the work. A number of very excellent officials will lose their offices; they will cease to be pensioners on the Government; but this 18 one of the contingencies of public offices, and must be submitted to by the victims. The time when offices are created merely to give employment: is passed, and the retrenchment which abolishes offices no longer necessary will be extended to all branches of the public service. PO o

IT 18 AMUSING to notice how doubtful some of the republican papers have lately - become with reference to the title of the present occupant of the White House. One after another is obtaining lightoun that fruitful topic. Here, for instance, is a radical paper published at ;Sturgis, Mich., edited by Wm. IL. Mattingly, which says: . - There is but one way of escape for Mr. Hayes and his apologists. That is to confess that Rackard was not elected Governor of Louisiana nor Hayes President of the United States. Any other line of argument at once involves itself in- inconsistency..— Hayes and Packard stand.or fall together, and if one goes out the other ought to follow him. :It will not do to say that Hayes was “constitutionally” elected. This is a-mere quibblet The constitution. has been misintel- - if held to warrant the inauguration of a President not really elected. The time has come for plain speaking, and we trust that lots of it will be done at the-extra session of Congress. Let that body institute inquiries as to who was really elected President last November, and if Mr. Hayes’ title is defective, just “withdraw.the troops,” and let him and T/ncle Sammy. fight it outs i ‘ : b

THE United States Supreme Court, in. the case of Evans et. al. vs. Home Insurance Company, (on éppeal from: the Circuit Court for the Southern District of Illinois) has decided that where'an application for insurance has been madeé in due form,the property to be insured being fully described, the amount of insurance named, and the rate of premium agreed upon, and there being no question about any other point in the contract, nothing remaining to be cone but to issue the policy, the contract of insurance was perfected, the risk taken, and in case of loss by fire the company.is liable.

Reports from Nebraska and lowa concerning the grasshoppers are very generally favorable to the farmers. The thrifty blackbirds are destroying the young ’hoppers. by millions, the late snow destroyed millions more, and in many districts the eggs are not hatching at all. Evidently the reign of the grasshopper is about over. Of all the hotels built in the vicinity of the Centennial last summer but one, the Transcontinental, realized a profit for the proprietors. The Globe Hotel, the largest one erected, and which cost’ $400,000, including the furnishing, was. sold last week for #3.475. It will probably be taken to pieces and rebuilt at Cape May for a summer hotel. s R 5

Great destitution is reported among the farmers of the grasshopper-deyas-tated counties of Northeastern lowa, and.many are abandoning their farms. Seed is searce, and they have had no money to purchase with; besides, the season is tob far advanced to secure a crop if they could get seed, and, with “the almost; certain failure to raise any thing except as food for grasshoppers, they prefer to leave everything and try their luck in some more favored locality, a !

'A new difficulty has arisen in connection with the settlement of the Lick estate in San Francisco, and one which threatens to. furnish business for the lawyers again. It had been agreed to pay the sum of $385,000. to John Lick as compromise of his claim to the entire property, and the trouble now is’that the various: societies who were remembered handsomely by the dead millionaire refuse to contribute in jequal proportions out of their bequests to make up this sum, but expect that two societies, the Acddemy of Sciences and the California Pioneers, ‘shall bear the whole burden. These two societies decline the exclusive honor of shelling out 'tq‘this amount, and there the matter hangs. Mr. George H. Butler, the nephew of B. F. Butler, has been appointed a Special Agent of the Pbst-Office Department in the Black Hills. There is considerable dissatisfaction with this appointment among the best newspapers. Butler’s conduct. when Consul at Cairo, Egypt, was of- the most scandalous description, and since his recall from that post he has been known rather for his dissipated habits and shameless ‘life than for any acquaintance with businesg affairs. It is understood that his wife, Rose Eytinge, the actress, has separated from him. The best use that cani be made of such men a 3 Butler is tosend them to the Black Hills, but not much can be expected of him in his official capacity. LATER.—Butler's appointment has since been revoked. :

. Death of Dr, &. Erickson. (From the Kendallville Record of the Times.) Dr. Gunder Ericksondied on Thursday morning, after;a-lingering and painful illness resulting’ from emphysema of the lungs. He was a native of Norway, from whence his parents emigrated to this country with a colony in 1838, when Gunder was alad of ten. They settled near Port Mitchell in this county. Within a few weeks after their arrival, nearly the whole colony was exterminated by the then fatal congestive fever, prevalent throughout the valley of the Mississippi, the doctor being the only one who survived the family, and only two or three of the whole colony .escaped. The orphan boy was picked up by Col. Spencer, a land speculator of Fort Wayne; who reared him, giving him the advantages of a common school education. He afterward- entered the Miami University; at Oxford, 0., and completed his education by his own exertions. - Leaving college in poor heaith and straightened financial circumstances, he walked back to his old home at F't. Wayne,however, and there commenced the study of medicine, in the office of Woodworth & Sturgis. He attended medical lectures at the Uwuiversity of New York, but afterward graduated at Bellevue, in the city of New York, attending five courses of lectures, in all, which is three more than is required for graduation. The mere possession of a diploma did not satisfy him. He commenced the practice of medicine 25 years ago at Lisbon, in this county, but after several years removed to Swan, and in 1861 came to Kendallville. He. was eminently successful, both as a physician and surgeon, excelling particularly in the diagnosis of obscure cases.: He was already the equal, if not the superior of any of his profession in North-east-ern Indiana, and had he lived 20 years longer, in the enjoyment of good health, he must have attained great distinction as a physician. The community cannot now realize the loss it incurs by his untimely end. At the time of his death, he was President of the North-eastern Medical Society, a position he had filled with great ability and fairness. The esteem in which he was held in this community,is best exemplified by the fact that our business men have resolved to suspend business this afternoon, as & mark of respect.to the deceased. The loss of no citizen of this city or county, could be felt more keenly. ; ‘ § oy r——ly, - Wt— — " The Czar’s Address.

| The Dictionary as An Instructor. We notice as a matter well worth mentioning, that av the recent great publishers’ trade sale in New /York, the books that were most in demand and brought the best prices were Webster’s Dictionaries, from the famous Quarto to the neat and handy pocket edition. ; The fact is a good indication of the almost universal popularity of these books, I'«md of the growing public demand forthem. Itindicatesalso a fact of fargreater importance, and that is"the interest the people are taking in the study of their own language. This is encouraging, as there is no branch of education thatis now and has ‘heen so much neglected as the common branches of spelling and defining. It is often astonishing and grievous to see how. grossly ignorant are children and youth, and even men and women, of orthography, pronunciation and meaning of ordinary words and phrases.” They cannot express their thoughts for the want of words, and often they express thoughts very different from what they intend, be-~ cause they do not understand the words they employ. And very frequently, from ‘the same cause, they take no' idea, or wrong ideas, from what they read or hear. ° ; : The remedy for these evils is the proper training in the study of words, by the use of the Dictionary, and -this training should begin as soon as the child can; distinguish between :one word and another, and continue indefinitely. - The apparatus for this study should, of course, be the most completeiand thorough to be had, and this is abundantly supplied in Webster’s Dictionaries, which, are justly recognized, wherever our language is spoken, as the standard autherity in England. ' Parents and teachers can in no other way so effectually or so cheaply promote the educational interests of their ehildren, when of suitable age, as by putting in their hands any one of Webster’s School Dictionaries, for daily use in connection:with the ‘study of their lessons, and by placing on the family center table, or the teacher’s desk as the authoritative guide and standard, a copy of the Unabridged. The Unabridged contains 38,00 v illustrations, over 114,000 words in its vocabularies, and 10,000 words and meanings not in any other Dictionary ; the abridged editions comprise “The Primary,” which has the largest sale, and which has some capital rules for spelling. “The Common School” is similar, but larger, with tables of synonyms, &c. “The High School,” still further, with many useful tables; “The Academic¢” and “Counting-house” 10r advanced schg&}s and for general home and business. use. The latter ‘has some specially valuable commercial tables. The little *“Pocket” edition, with its bright gilt edges ax}d morocco binding, 18 truly an invaluable pocket companion. It contains more than 18,000 words, rules for spelling, many abbreviations,#words and phrases, provet;l\})s,v etc., ordinarily met with in the Greek, Latin and Modern languages.! Whether it is convenient or not ‘to ‘have copies of any of the other books of the series, we certainly reécom.mend - that all ‘should possess a bopyot%l’ocket, ‘which, when not otherwiséobtaina‘ble, may be had by mail, by inclosing $1 to the publishers, MESSRS.

A funnel shaped cyclone passed over the eastern part of Fulton county and eastern part of Kosciusko county, about Saturday noon, April 28. It commenced about one-and-a-half miles south-west of Akron. It moved rapidly forward in !a north-easterly direction, to the town of Lake, about a mile south-west of Akron, when a column of water several feet in diameter rose to meet the funnel above, making an immense pillar 200 feet high.

A Goshen Rabbi Arrested for Bur- ' j glary. (Chicago Times, May 3.) | ] The Jewish Poles of Goshen, Indi~ ana, are mad ; the Jewish Poles of Chicago, or a few of them, are red-hot. The proprietors of a woolen mill in Goshen are exasperated; the city marshal of Goshen is on, the war-path, and there is considerable lightning all around. The rabbi of Goshen is held to bail on a serious charge, and the principals Here are held to bail on the same chargé—burglary, and being. fugitives from justice. ' * On ‘Monday of this°week Marshal Barns, of Goshen, -arrived in Chicago in search of Isaac Rittaberger, the rabbi of Goshen, Mark Harris, supposed to be of Chicago and Indiana combinéd, and Harris Livingstone, of the same place. The complaint against these parties was from Clark & Radabaugh, proprietors of the Goshen wool-en-mills, who believed that the parties aboved mentione did, on or about the 12th of April, enter their premises and take therefrom -clothes, flannels, and cassimeres to the value of $1,500. These goods were‘taken from Goshen in a wagon to Elkhart, whence they were shipped to Chicago to Livingstone & Harris, as the marshal says ‘he will be:able to prove by the shipping clerk at Elkhart. The goods arrived here, as he states, and it has been his business since to investigate the case. He arrived, as stated, on Monday, atrested Harris that night, and the other /parties on yesterday. The case was called before Justice Summerfield in the morning and continued until 2 o’clock in the afternoon. On the arrival of that hour a change of venue was taken to Justice Wallace, where the counsel asked for a discharge of the prisoners on the ground of informality in the papers. Prosecuting 'Attorney Boyden aske%’that the informality be corrected, which request was granted, and then asked for a continuance, in order that the prosecution might get its witnesses. The marshal stated that he would be able to prove every charge made, by the best of witnesses, and only asked a reasonable lengthiof time. He said that the rabbi had been indicted for selling liquor without license in Goshen, and hadn’t a very chast reputation at best. The Poles present seemed to be much affronted at this, and several demonstrations were made which looked once or twice like a warmap. One of the females was going to bounce the marshal, but he dodged. Pwo or three dirty-faced children in the corner set up a racket like cats on | a roof, and this den of confusion, commingled with the abuse which the attorneys hurled at each other, reminded one more of a cattle-pén at the stock-yards than a court of justice. But Wallace is a patient man, and since he has moved down nearer. the armory he will find much occasion to keep his docility down. After nearly three hours of wrangle, Harris and Livingstone were placed under $3,000 bond, and the rabbi under $500.The case will'come up before Wallace | on the 11th, at 10 o’clock. - e

.. A New Temperance Law. - In Oregon the latest scheme to suppress drunkenness is. to require every _person buying liquor for his own or ‘another person’s consumption to take out an annual license costing not less than $5. Kvery six months t%);e'}nam‘es of those havingflcenses ~will be pub--lished, and no saloon keeper will be allowed to sell a. man a drink unless ‘he can produde the important document, properly!certified and stamped. In case g, drunkard has no license he will be imprisoned in the house of correction for at least six months. - Unless a man had money to buy his license he would either have to abstain from liquor or. suffer impriscnment, and ‘the puincity’ée; the names of those holding licenses would, 1t is thought, debar any but the most depraved from applying for them. The law has some merits, but time would be required to prove its efficacy.

They are manufaclured from the very BEST AND QiQICEST PIGMENTS, and mixed or thinned with only STRICTLY PURE Linseed, Oil and Turpentine, and they cannot be excelled in covering eapacity, durability, fineness and beguty of finish. They will neither chalk, flake. or peel off, and works with perfect freedum under the brush. They weigh from 15 to 16 ths per gallon, yhich, of itself, POSITIVELY demonstrates their purity and su'i)ed.qrity. ¥ { 'Le varioug compcunds known in the market as’ Chemical Painte, contain only about 50 per cent. of Paint; thqhbalance‘ is water, introduced icto the same by the use of an alkili, .to combine it. The last mentioned Paints, so-called, only weigh from 9 to 10 IbB per gallon, which we think clearly proves their lack of opacity or body. When water is mixed with Paint. it not only destroys its body, but, to a very great extent, its adhesiveness, which all practical men know is of the highest importance to preserve, in order to make a durable Paint. o We think, from the statement we have made, that bayers cannot fail to AT @NCE verceive that their interercst will’'be best promotéd by buying our Liquid Paints (4. e.’ Pure Paints.) in preference to the soigalled Paints referred to. .

There never has been a time when the healing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward’application as the present. Itisan undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to’the nuse of ordinary plasters. Dr. MeLvin's Carsioum POrous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind, All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely different: the instant one is upl?lied the patient will feel its effect. - : 3 " Physicians ingll ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum ; and it has, always been more or less used a 8 a medical agest: for ah outward application; but it is only of very: recent date that its advizutnges in a porous plas< ter have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures ‘cffected by Dz. MEeLvin's Carerons Porous Prastrrs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have re(;lulred theuse of plasters or liniment Afier {1“ ave tried other plasters and liniments, and they Rave failed, anc;‘s*oq' want a certaincpre, ask lgou_r 1 uggist for De.
