The program was a most .interesting one and well rendered. Do not fail to attend this evening, as you will certainly be well entertained. —Mr..A. Walder, proprietor of the Ligonier Brewery, is contemplating the erection of a fine dwelling on the north side during the coming summer, If we had a few more such public spirited men as Mr. Walder our town would bloom as the rose, —lt is always best to patronize people with whom you are acquainted and home industry, and for this reason we would advise our readers to call on C. V. luks, the marble man, when they want anything in the line of monuments, tombstones, etc. You can depend upon what he says. —“ What.are you waiting for, little ‘boy ?”” inquired a kindly old gentleman of a streetjurchin who was watching each passer-by intently.: “Waitin’ for a long-whiskered gent smokin’ a cigar, Then I’ll foller him an’ git the stub.” “Do long-whiskered men smoke better cigars?” “Naw, but they don’t smoke l ’em so short.”

—The room 80 long occupied by Taylor J. Vail was vacated on Monday last by that gentleman. After some chapges and improvements in the interior the rooms will be occupied by Meyer . Baum, who is compelled to move from his present location on account ot the expiration of his lease. The change will be a gocd one for Mr. Baum. .

—An exchange gays that most editors are well acquainted with the man ** who gets more papers now than he can read,” and consequently has no use for his local paper. He takes the Tamily Journal,published at Portiznd, Maine. It contains all the news about ‘the Smuggler’s Last Cruise, and while he is storing his mind with such usefal Iformation, his wife is reading back nuwber almanacs. He is also the same man who wants fifteen line local puffs in ycur paper, just to fill up you know. v .

—The postoffice department has adopted and will shortly Issue-a gtamped letter sheet the ussful invention of the United States Postal Note company, of New York. Itig a lstter sheet 4nd envelope combined, a perforated line. running around -the sheet with the narrow ' space outside of the line overspread with mucilage, 80 that .the sheet may be folded and gecurely fastened. The letter, when ready for mailihg, resembles the style in use before envelopes were invented. This the government stamps in loose 'sheets and collectively in pads, and will put on sale scun at the leading -postoffices throughout the c¢ountry. It ‘is expected to replace the poestal card ‘and every one can not read it. - —Last Friday our old friend Abram Gill, of Elkhart township, attained the age of 68 years. Early in the morning the old gentleman was hustled off into the country several miles to buy a cow and on his return home was surprsied to find that neighbors and friends to the number of thirty or forty had taken possession of things and were running his household affairs to suit themselves. Good things were. brought and spread upon the tables by Mrs. Gill and the visitors, and all were seated at the tables fairly groaning with eatables. A merry hour ox two was spent at the sumptaous tables, and another hour in conversation when the party dispersed, wish--ing Mr. Gill many bhappy returas of ‘his birthday anniversary. Several val‘uable preae_nts, including an easy rocking chair by the entire company, were made. .

—The revised statutes of Indiana provide for the encouragement of agriculture by requiring a license of from $5 to $25 for each performance in the county, for pay, of any caravan, circus, rope or wire dancing, legerdemain, ventriloquiém, pup pet show, concert; theatrical performance, or any -other exhibition by ftraveling or stationary troupes, which is to be collected by the county treasurer and turned oyer to the agrieultural society of the eounty or district. The State board of agriculture is stirring the matter up, aud the county treasurers ‘are being reminded of their duty. No such fees have ever been collected in i‘this county, except from circuses, and if the law would be rigedly enforced it would make g pretty good sum for our agricultural society, as Ligonier, Kendallville and Albion patronize a great maoy shows during the year.

—The conduct of the individuals who profess to be detectives, in taking John Abbs, the Lake Shore bag-gage-man into custody without any lawful process, was an outrage which should have been summarily regented by Mr. Abbs. Generally the fellows who profegs to be railway detectives are broken down bums, who can not ‘make a living at anything else, and are placed upon the charity of the company through theintervention of some friend or relative who is tired of the lpad. Of all detestible individuals, these “spotters’” are entitled to the belt, and it would take more tangible ‘evidence than that produced by the two detectives (?) to make us believe | that John Abbs was anything but honest. The bread and butter of such fellows as are generally employed as spoiters depend upon making some body trouble, and this time it fell to. John Abbs, 2 y

<—By a special notice 1n .the New Albany Ledger we learn that Austin J. Kistler has made a satisfactory settlement cof his; affairs in that place. In the card signed by a large number of his creditors appears the statement that “be acted honorably aund fairly threcughout the settlement and arrangement of the claims.” We are glad to hear that Mr. Kistler is again “on his feet.” . ' —The surprising statement is made that only about one acre of land to each three thousand acres of territory compriging the State of Flerida i 3 fit for habitation or adapted fo agricultural purposes. Nearly all the good land has been secured and is held at high prices. More than balf the area of the seventeen orange connties is under water or consists of inhospitable swamps and pine barrens.

—On Tuesday evening last about twenty of John H. Hoffman’s gentlemen friends, who had been invited by Mrs. Hofiman to take supper with her husband on that évening, assembled at their residence at the south end of Cavin street.- The'host came home a little later than usual but the surprise was complete. A few minutes later an elegant supper was served, after which the evening was most pleasantly passed.. - —Through an annoying accident iast week, the local making mentiog of a pleasant and largely attended t&-\ party at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sweetnam, was omitted. Nearly two score of this most egtimable couple’s most intimate friends were invited, and knowing full well their hospitalify, none were absent. The evening was spenf in social games and intercourse, and at ten o’clock a supper fit for a king was discussed.

—A meeting of the representatives of the fairs to be held at Hicksville, Angola, La Grange, Kendallyille and Ligonier, met at Kendallville on Thursdaylast to form a circuit. The dates agreed upon are satisfactory to all concerned.” Kendallville will begin the fair on Tuesday, October 5, and Ligonier will begin a week later, This will make good dates for all con-

cerned. If the weather will only be favorable the two fairs will certainly be a success. Bl

—The Kendallville News says: The grand jury of DeKalb county found indictnients against a party of boys from this city, who indulged in a match game of base ball one bright sunny Sabbath last summer with a home team of Garrett, They were escorted by Marshall Shauck on last Monday to Auburn to bave a jhearing. This being the wrong season of the year for base ball, some of them provided themselves with the necessaries usually iequired to help pass away time, and intended to stop with the DeKalb authorities until they are satisfied they have boarded out their fine. ¢ Lo

—The alarm of fire yesterday afternoon brought out the fire laddies and nearly everybody else in quick order. The scene of conflagration was at the residence of Charles Shobe, on Martin street. The fire had already made considerable headway but by quick work was soon got' under control. Aside from slight damage to goods by a sudden and unceremonious removal from danger, the complete wetting of the plastering in the immediate neighborborhood of the fire, and the cutting of a hole in the roof, the loss was merely nominal, and we understand is well covered by insurance. A defective flue was thecause,

: MID-WEEK MUSINGS. ; 2 BY PHILOSOPHER. 10 Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not expressed in fan(;si'; rich, not gaudy! For the apparel of¢ proclaims the man, : o HamLET,

Personal appearance hasmuch to do toward giving a man place and position in the estimation of many of our people. TLet a stranger come into our community and should he wear stylish clothes and catry a cane he will, in all probability, be at once greeted] with open arms# Of course there are many elements that are in favor of such treatment at the hands of the public. A neat, tidy, well-ap-pearing fellow can not fail to make a much better impression than one who | seems careless and indifferent as to his appearance, but on the other hand many a noble heart is covered by a tattered coat, and willing arms by ragged sleeves. . . o

Many traits of the character are shown in the dress. The. exact and primp individual whe many times in !‘the presence ‘of the Philosopher has ‘spent a good part of the evening in arranging their clothing and “primping” are the unstable and vacilating creatures that never make men only in resemblance. They are unhappy and uncomfortable at all times and are so self-conscious as to be a burden to themselves and a source of great anxiety upon the part of their friends. They neyer get beyond their limited sphere; as young men they are pets, as old fops they are failures. On the other hand the young man who shows his force of character by raising above his clothing, and while ‘neat and tidy, places counsideration of his personal appearance in the background and has thoughts for something higher, will at once impress himself favoraoly upon those with whom he may comein contact. _ .

There are people of intelligence who labor under the delusion that carelessness in the matter of dress is an indi~ cation of unusual intellectual ability. This is particularly true of women who are what the world used to call blue stockings. There isnothing that can excuse slovenliness; rags and dirt are the insignia of vics and groveling poverty that makes no effort to better its condition. Every man and every woman owes it to themselves and to - society. to appear before the world with clean and well-made garments as far as it lies in their power to do s). Of course a man who works from seven In the morning until seven at night in field or shop cannot be expected to appear in immaculate linen, scrupulously brushed coat and trousers, and well blacked boots. But he can, when he comes from work, “tidy himself” and sit down among his wife and children, clean and wholesome. He woald find a bath and change of attire infinitely more refreshing and restful than the dirty, black pipe he smokes, tilted'back in his chair dangling his feset minus shoes—his clothes stained with the dust and perspiration of the day’s labor. It may be also said that it is a difficult thing for a tired mother with a largs famiIy of little ones to look after and none to aid her in the care of them, to keep them .and herself always fresh and sweet. But there are thousands of mothers who do, and whers they preside, the home is a delightful haven of rest; a place where order and comforg prevail, making it seem like paradise to the husband who carries its sweet influence in his lieart& to lighten his daily toil. It is but fitting that a guest should honor his hostess ﬁ‘by appeariog in her house at his best. - It is not only necessary that he should be at bis best, in temper and wit and manner, butjhe should show her by his apparel that he appreciates the honor her invitation has conferred, and would no sooner mar the feast by careless and - untidy dress than he would by coarseness of speech or a flagrant breach of etiquette. e »

The Philosopher is a.elose reader and a few days since came across a late copy of the South Bend Tribune, and among the scraps from the Lounger’s note book I take the following as it is certainly; entitled to wide circulation: “How easy it i 3 to start a scandal. The breath that would not move a thistle-down will blow a scandal to the four quarters of any community. It may be started by some thoughtless person who has no ' thought of doing injury, but whose careless remarks are misconstrued, or by some wag who thinks it a good joke, and cannot realize that the result may be the ruined reputation of a virtuous girl, * Even the most upright christians and church members ara not exempt.. Who has not heard one of these wags who said one day of a good Presbyterian deacon, “I know what would be enough to hang deacon R.” The deacon heard of the remark. He grew white and red by turns for fear that he had forgotten all about some great crime of his iyoﬂth. For nights ‘he had no sleep, At last through nervous exhaustion }his religion begins to ebb away and he vowed in right worldly fashion that the man should prove his assertion betore fhe church. So a council was con-

vened, properly organized and prepared for work, -Some of the membérs had always seen a sort of a hangdog look about the deacon and had already hegun to say:*didn’t I tell you 80?” The pale deacon arose from his place, confronted the waggish rogue and said solemnly, “Sir, you said that you knew something that would hang me, did you not?” The voung man, instead of being abashed, held his head high in the air and replied: “I did, gir,” “Dld yon mean what you said? ” “I did.” “Then, sir, won’t you tell this convention whatit is?” At that the wag pulled out a rope about four yards long, laid it on the table and replied, “That, gentlemen, would hang him, ‘wouldn’t it?” and then turned on his heel and left the amazed assembly. Be careful not’ to judge too hastily when you hear scandalous reports. There is no day that they may not be circulated about you and those you love best. ol iaa

. How Or. nmym? lled. | A Magdalena N. M, paper gives the following particulars of the shooting of Dr. Denny, a former resident of this plule. ~ Bince the report of the death of the Doctor many speculations as to how it happened have been offered- by friends, but the following -will set all &t rest: .“On Friday afternoon A. C. Johnson, who was one of ‘the principal witnesses against Gaddis, at therecent term of the digtrict court, got to drinking and became quarrelsome and had a fisticuff with a young man named Woods, after which he ‘met Ed. Sherlock and wanted to fight him. Ed. sought to avoid him at first, ‘but Johnson insisted that he must fight, and drew a six shooter and madei threats, when Sherlock wejrt and arﬁx-l ed himself for his own protection. Johnson then. proceeded to hunt Sherlock up and lay for him, and see—ing Sherlock coming along|the street about 7 o’clock in the evening, Johnson concealed himself between two buildings near together, and' as Sherlock passed fired at him. {Dr. Denny being in one of the houses and hear-. ing .the report of the gun so near, thought he would get out at the back door so as to &void a str:y ghot on the street, and Johnson nearing him supposed it to be Sherlock who had come around the back way, and fired at the Doclor, the ball striking him near the center of the chest and glaneing around to his right side, inflicting a seyere if not mol tal wound. Johnson then made his escaps and went out near the “y” of ﬁxe railroad east of town, and laid down upon the track all nightyn a drunFen stupor. The next mornifig he got up and attempted to con§al himself behind a bunch of cactus, where he| was found and captvred by Sberlockl yesterday. When arrested he was un'ﬁrmed,having lost his pistol durisg the night, and claimed to have no Tﬁ'ecollection of what occurred the night before, and seemed to regret tgat he had done such a terrible deeif when informed of his rash act. The: prisoner was taken before Justice F. A. Blake where he had a preliminary examination and was bonnd over in the sum of $2,000 and, fnigng to give the bond, was brought to Socorro last, night by ‘deputy sheriff Christilaw and lodged in the county jail. Dr. Denny, the unfortunate victim in the tragedy, is a highly resp‘Jcted citizen of about 60 years of age, and was formerly identified with the slack Range ‘ country, but recently located at Mag— | dalenz where he was erl,vaged in the practice of his professionl" |
