—Charley Inks counted the ties on ‘the railroad between Swan and Avilla a few nights ago. It was rather dark and he had to travel on hands and knees part of the way. He says that tramping is a hard business. ; —Edward Holmes, an unmarried ‘man, while working on the roof of a house at Swan, on Friday last, was by some means thrown ‘to the ground. He was picked up insensible, and died in a short time from internal injuries. ~The Townsend Family gave four performances in this place during last and this week, and gave general satisfaction, Their acting isabove the av-. erage of traveling ‘troupes, and was certainly worthy of a more liberal patronage than they received here. The exceeding closeness of the times, necessitating economy in all things, no doubt kept a great many of the theatre going public from attending. —Mr. W. K. Fischer, for many years connected with Kolb & Gross at Goshen, has rented the middle room of the Banner Block for a term of years, and is now in Toledo to lay in a stock of . groceries, crockery, &c. A bakeoven will be immediately built for a first-class bakery. Mr. Fischer is an energetic young man, comes well recommended, and should receive a hearty welcome by our citizens.

—Dr. E. N. Chapman of Brooklyn, N. Y., has made the discovery that the use of alcohol ‘is a sure cure for diphtheria, if used in its early stage. In a long experience he has known of only one case of a drunkard having diphtheria, He generally administers the alcohol in the form of whiskey, and a quantity that would intoxicate a healthy person has no visiblé effect on one affected with diphtheria. In 24 to 36 hours the fever will generally begin to subside under this treatment. ’ - —Last week’s Warsaw Indianian gave an extended account of the death of Miss Libbie Jaques from injuries snstai’ue@ by the explosion of a rose oil lamp. The suffering of the young lady must have been terrible. In another column of that paper we find the following pertaining to the same subject: “Mr. Frank Zimmerman, of Ligonier, who was at the Hillsdale Commercial College, and about to graduate, was telegraphed to when the extent of the accident to Miss Libbie Jaques was known, and came on the first train following the reception of the dispateh. The grief of the young man on reaching the house of the suffering family can be better imagined than described.” f

—Thursday, November 22d, was the fifth anniversary. of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. John L, Cavin, of the Hawpatch, —the folks who raise so much wheat to the acre. Their numerous friends, in town and country, had previously made arrangements to treat them to a huge surprise in the shape of a wooden wedding. Everything was well arranged, and at about 7 o’clock in the evening, while “long John” was dozing in “the old arm chair,” and Madry was piping a favorite tune on the ‘organ, the house was suddenly entered by throngs of their friends until every bit of available standing room was occupied. The vis--Itors brought with them an abundance of provisions for their supper, together with every conceivable kind, style and make of .wooden -goods, which were arranged in fino style and formally presented to the surprised.couple in a neat and appropriate littlé speech by Rev. A. E. Mahin. Supper was then served with all manner of cake and “chicken fixens,” in the consumption of which all acquitted themselves nobly. Upon the whole it was a success, a most enjoyable affair, long to be remembered by those present. —The publishers of the Goshen Times recently served notice upon their subscribers that they would receive only a limited amount of wood on subscription, and that only on a strictly ‘cash basis. In eéxplanation they say: “We will quit the business entirely before we will be bothered about this wood business as we have inthe past. Some have got the idea into their heads that they can exchange a load of wood for our paper a year, without regard to the size of the load -or the guality of the wood, and that ‘we are glad to get 1t at any time, even: after waiting for it a year or two, ‘when they can bring it in with the least expense and inconvenience. “This _has been too much the case in the past, but it is played out. We will take ‘wood just as other people do, when we ‘need it, and when we can get it at just if it takes two loads to pay for the paper a year. We hope we are under‘Btood, so there will be no trouble about rule should be adopted by every paper gi*‘%‘@%’%w Sl Bnger | o bl g i“ el tag, ful I*‘*‘“«*"*““%@’*“&“&?*@@’ ebirasie st e ”“’"“W’;’éz‘ﬁsﬁ ’s'%.xii:j‘éj_,;ﬂ:if-{éf‘:i:;:il,l};-"-‘i.*f?;j: e b e)‘*’:"“g‘;‘r

. It is Better to Lie Down and Rest. There are moments when the annoy~ances, vexations, labors and cares of life so thicken and-press upon the toilworn plodder to the grave that nature yields, courage ‘gives way, resistance seems useless and one almost longs for the quiet of the sleep that knows no waking. Not sweet _can be the sleep of the dead for it lacks sensation. Not relief but annihilation does death bring to the ecare-worn brain and heart. And yet the pitiless storms of life that beat upon the exposed breast and the murky eclouds that hide the rays of the blessed sun from his men--tal vision sometimes make the life-weary-traveler long for the annihilation that although it brings nothingness in lieu of a heavy load, ends all. To plod on, to work like the goaded ox early and late after you have lost all interest in life, after you have lost all interest in the work that once delighted you; after you see that your life is a failure and further effort is worse than futile; after all pleasure has fled from your habitation and you have nothing to live for—have no ambition, fear no censure, heed no commendation—to be compelled still to toil, to worry and to work on clear down to the very day that precedes your funeral—this is indeed a hard destiny. After one has almost reached the meridian of life, and looking backward adown the- rugged slope ‘he has ascended, sees in memory’s melancholy light the wayside strewn with the heart’s broken idols; sees in ruins the temples he had builded with high hope and noble ambition—and looking ahead and about him sees nothing but insurmountable. eobgtacles with which his waning strength is' unable to cope, he can then comprehend the folly of a further struggle; he can then see that it is better to lie down and rest. To torget and to be forgotten! . Dreadful thought! Bat it will’ not worry the dead. Short is the struggle that brings forgetfulness—sharp the conflict. Then rést, rest.—Seymour Timées. ! :

Isaac’ Mendenhall, of Albion, has been appointed by Gen. Reub.. Williams, manager of the Morton Mémorial Association, for this county. We do not know what course Mr. Mendenhall will pursue, but presume he will endeavor to reach every part of the county in some effectual way, probably by the appointment of one o}xl'.more active deputies in every town--8 lp. ¢ Y 8

The Ohio U. S. Senatorship. Ft. Wavne Sentinel. : : The senatorial contest in Ohio waxes warmer.and warmer. . The Cincinnati Enguirer has made a careful canvass of the Senators and Representatives, and it estimates that the first ballot in the democratic caucus will result as follows: Geo. H. Pendleton, 30; Thomas Ewing, 27; Gen. Geo. W. Morgan, 19; Hon, Frark Hurd, 8; Durbin Ward, 4; Lewis D). .Campbell, 2; ex-Gov. Allen,2; Hon.H. B. Payne, 1. The Enquirer concludes that,should a feeling of bitterness spring up between Messrs. Ewing, Morgan and Pendleton, so that their friends should feel an antipathy towards each other, neither can be elected and the dark horse will be suecessful. Why not drop all of the above candidates and choose Mr. Wm. S. Groesbeck, a man of surpassing ability and national reputation, and who has taken a position on the silver question which entitles him to the support of the people of Ohio and of the West?

Indiana Stock Law.

. The stock law passed by the Indiana legislature, March 12, 1877, is as follows: =

“]f any domestic animal break into an enclosure, or wander upon the lands of another, the person thereby shall, recover the amount of damages «done; provided that the township where, by order of the board of county commissioners, said domestic animal are permitted to run at large, it shall appear that the fence through. which the' animal broke was lawful; but where such animal is not permitted to graze upon the unenclosed commons, it shall not be necessary to allege or prove the existence of any lawful fence in order to recover for the damages done.”

—A man calling himself M. 8. Gardner has been collecting money in different portions of this State as subscriptions to a magazine called “Myra’s Paris Journal,” which he represents as published by D. Appleton & Co., N.Y. No such journal is published and Appleton & Co. call Gardner a swindler. :

The House of Representatives has passed a bill repealing the ‘iron-clad test oath. The oath has never been more than a mockery, and can be profitably dispensed with. |No doubt the radicals who still cling to the bloody shirt will see in the proposed abolition of the oath a deep-laid conspiracy on the part of the confederate brigadiers, and will sueceed in choking it off in the Senate.

A petition for the appointment of Packard to the New Orleans collectorship has been signed by nearly every republican member of Congress, and there is a chance that Effingham Lawrence, who was shelved in the extra session, will be sacrificed to make room for the carpet-bag “Governor.”

This will be welcome news to even those-who know the gentleman only by reputation. & e L Pitt Kellogg is now a meémber of the Senate of the United States without any legal right to the office other than the fact that the majority of the Senate voted to dadmit him.

Reducod Representation—A Sensible . Proposition, Attention has been called upon several occasions to the unwieldy proportions of ‘the State conventions of Indiana. It cannot be learned that better results are reached by such large bodies. Indeed, it is doubtful whether such numbers can intelligently reach the wisest conclusions, from the fact that there is greater liability to confusion. 'On the basis established in 1876 the next convention of the democratic party will be composed of over two thousand delegates, an assembly which it is almost impossible that & presiding officer can control and deal justly toward all. What a new basis of representation in the next democratic convention shall be, it would be difficult to determine, but it should not exceed -one for every two ‘hundred votes cast for Mr, Tilden. Or, perhaps, as suggested by some of our contemporaries, one for every two hundred and fifty such votes.. That would give a convention of about eleven hundred delegates. This it would seem to us is sufficiently large. In fact, too large for the most intelli‘gen@gt‘ion. If it were not for some of th® smaller counties, a conyention of five hundred delegates would be ample for the accomplishment of all purposes.-, We hope the State Central ‘Committee will take this matter under consideration and make a new basis of representation and largely curtail. the number of delegates.—New Albany Ledger-Standard.

No More Accidents.

The only perfectly safe kerosene lamp in the world. The Rind Patent Safety Lamp has been placed upon the market and the publicis invited to test this simple but wonderful lamp. Its qualities are:| It extinguishes itself when overturned; it extinguishes itself when dropped from the hand; it extinguishes itself when broken; it cannot be filled while lighted, but can be carried at pleasure. Blowing down the chimney, on turning down the wick, to extinguish the light, is entire1y unnecessary. This lam;f(igives more light with the same wick than any lamp in the world. Light and safety secured for common lamps by using our safety Extinguisher Burner. Recommended by insurance agents. For sale by H.

It is against the law for a gentleman to sit with a lady in church. A little west of here the preacher tells the gentleman to go over on the otherside of the house and if he doesn’t go the preacher goes to Syracuse the next day and appears before a magistrate and gets the worst of the bargain.— Such a ecase is before the courts of Kosciusko county af the present time. We await the action to see whether we are allowed to take care of a lady in church or whether we are to be mossbacks' that don’t know what decency or good manners are. Verily, the gospel ought to extend westward. Mr. Graham preached to a very attencive audience last Sunday in the M. E. Church, and Mr. Waltman in the evening in the Lutheran Church {0 a large congregation. The newly organized choir did ample justice to a few well-chosen pieces of music on both. occasions. ;

WILL C URE RHEUMATISM. MR. ALBERT CROOKER, the well-known druggist and apothecary, of Sprlngnxhej‘ Me., a}ways advises em troobled wi eumatism to try VEG S ! Read His Statement: , 2 Serrvavarz, Mz., Oct. 12, 1876. MR. H. R.Srevexs:— Ve ! Dear Sir:—Fifteen years ago last fall I was taken gick with rhenmatism, was anuable to move until the next April. From that tims until three years ago this fall I suffered ever{thinz with rheumatism. Sometimes there would be weeks at a time that 1 conld not step one step: these attacks were quite often. 1 suffered everything that a man conld. Over three yedrs ago last spring I commenced taking Veerring and followed it np until I had taken seven bottles; have had no rheumatism since that time. I always advise every one that is tronbled with rheumatism to try VeeeTINE, and not suffer for years asl have done. This statement ir gratuitous as far ag Mr, Stevens is concerned. Yours, etc., - ALBERT CROOKER, : Firm of A. Crooker & Co., Druggists and Apothecaries, e Sems HAS ENTIRELY CURED ME. Bosron, Oct., 1870. Mr. H. R, STEVENS:— Dear Sir,—My daughter, after having a severe attack of Whooping Cough, was left in a feeble state of health. Being advised by a friend she tried the Veawring, and after using a few bottles was fully restored to health. ; I have been a great sufferer from Rhenmatism, I have taken séveral bottles of the Vegetine for this compiaint, and am happy to say it has entirely cured me. 1 have recommended the Vegeline to oshers with the same good results. Itis a great cleanser and purifier of the blood; it is pleasant to take and I can cheerfulg.recommend it. JAMES MORSE, 364 Athens street:

RHEUMATISM is a DISEASE of the BLOOD.

The blood in this disease is found to contain an excess of fibrin. Vegetine acts b’% converting the Riood from its diseased condition to a henlt.htyl circulatiorn. Vegetine regulatesthe bowels whic is very important in this complsint. One bottle of Vegetine will give relief, but to effect a permsnent cure it must be taken regunlarly, and may take several bottles, especially in cases of long standing. Vegetihe is gold byall drnggists. Try it, and your verdict will be the same as that of theusands before you, who eay, “I never found so much relief as from the use of Vegetine.” which is composed exclusively of Barks, Roots and Herbs..

. “VeGRTINE,” Bays a Boston physi¢ian, “has no equal as a blood purifier, Hearing of its many wonderful cures, after all other remedies had faiied, I visited the laboratory and convinced myself of its genuine merit. It is prefiared from barks, roots and herbs, each of which is highly effective, and they are compoanded in such a manneras to produnce astonishing results,”

VEGETINE.

NOTHING EQUAL to It.

Sourn SArEM, Mass., Nov. 14, 1876, MR. H. R. STEVENS: e

Dear Bir,—l have been troubled with Serofula, Canker and Liver Complaint for three years ; nothing ever did me an{ good until I commenced nsing the Vegetine. I aminow getting along firstrate, and still using the Vegetine. I consider there is nothicg equal to it for such complaints, Can heartﬂ*{recommend it to everybody. . f ours truly, : : ] MRS.
