“ BY INQOMAR, : Christmas was rather a dull affair here this year. ~ Saturday last gave us the worst snowstorm yet.

~ Circuit court meets on the fifth day of January next. ; The Indiana legislature meets on the Bth day ef Januury. © - On Friday forenoon last the fire bell sounded an alarm, and everybody turned out to find a small frame house south of the Williams House on fire. It was soon extinguished and but little injury done. : The biggest nuisance m town is the thick, black smoke from the ceurt house engine house. Several families have been often compelled to do their week’s washing over two or three times a week, the smoke rendering the clothes unfit for wear.

Among the most turbulent and Implacable of the Indians who have for some time been giving the military authorities so much trouble, -are many of the young bucks who were educated at the government ludian schools. If this is so, it suggests several important questions. :

Solomon C. Hardenbrook, long a resident of this place and an old citizen of the county, wastaken on Friday last to the hospital for the insane at Logansport. He was in charge of ExSheriff Williams and Ruell Hardenbrook. The case is-a ‘sad one, and the unhappy family have fhe sympathy of the community. i : The Gold Spike again! Tenny, the Boston end of the road, now says that if Kist, the other end of the road hereabout, ‘*had accepted the situation last spring, the road would have been completed before this.”’ Haello there, Mr. Kist! 1 rise and tell you why you did not ‘‘accept the situation!”’ By the way, what was the ‘‘situation?’’ : A story is going the rounds that a gentleman of Ft. Wayne is the fortunate possesser of a Jewish coin called a ‘“‘Holy Shekel,”” said to be some thirty-three hundred years vld. We are told that competent experts have examined the coin and pronounced it genuine- Wonder if it at one time did not belong to ‘‘Holy Moses.’’ ' The high school entertainment at Howard’s Hali on the 19th was a fine success. The pupils acquitted themselves admirably, and to Mrs. Van Gorder. the accomplished wife of the principal, is very largely due the credit of giving our people one of the most pleasing entertainments eyer witnessed in our town. Where all did sof weil, 1t would be oat of taste to mention names. = ‘T, proceeds go towiards a high school [ibrary.

And now the susceptible darkies have canghtit. At Kansas City a colored Messiah has come forth and gromiSes to redcem his brethren. ‘hey have notified the mayor of the city that they intend to have a big holy ghost dance, and ask that the police shall not molest them, nor suffer others to do so, in the enjoyment of their religious fandanga. =We * may look for this strange freak to spread among the blacks of the south, though they have religious fantastics compounded of Christianity, inherited savage superstitions and spiritualism, and have had for many years.

I noticed in a prominent Chicago daily a short time ago, an e¢xplanation of the origin of one of the most common expressions in the language, one, too, that has always been regarded as wholly unfit for good people to use. We are informed that there is in use in Persia and parts of India a small coin of the value of one third of a cent of our money,and thiginsignificant coin is cilled a ‘dam:” and when English merchants and traders incthose coun-, tries wished to indicate that a thing was of trifling value, it was common among them to say such and such a thing was *‘not worth a dam.”” The expression finally reached England and became very common there, and there being no tariff duties on commercial and trade expressions, the thing came over in enermous quantities, and is new in common use all over the country. Ingomar is sorry not to be able to vouch for the origin of the expression, having but very slight knowledge of the Persian lan guage, and he would caution the reader net to use the expression on his say so, or the strength-of the above explanation. The other day the U. S. engineers tested at Sandy Hook, the thirty foot rifled gun, aud shells were thrown fitteen miles out to sea. Such a result would seem almost beyond belief, but there is no reason to doubt it. What wonderful improvement is this over Gen. Gilmore’s ‘“‘swamp angel,”’ in the outer Charleston harbor, in 1863, when shells were thrown into that city, a distance of nearly three miles, and which at the time attracted the attention of all Europe! But this is an age of startling wonders. It is the age of daring invention. Nothing seems impossible to the exploring mind of the age, and only indicates the marvelous strength and stretch of modern civilization. While one intellect invents some grand device to minister toman's happiness and make life more enjoyable, another cunning brain is busy devising some devilish engine of destruction 1o make war more horrible and bloody and cruel. Modern civilization has many strides yet to make before ¢ Nations will learn war no more,”’ and the barbarian that has disgraced mankind from the beginning give glace to that true grandeur whose foundations can only be built on the enduring rock of Christianity.

Hart; Librarian, Berley Fletcher; Assistant Librarian, Nellie Parks; Chorister, H. F. Lang; Organist, Mrs. Wm. McCarty. I think the Rome City correspondent to the Standard i+ hadly mistaken about the person who took the notes of the last institute, ggthe person is a gentleman in eVery:"if?-espect. and we know the report to be correct, and even the ‘‘uncouth youth’’ of whom he spoke in such glowing terms hds forgotten more thamthe Rome City correspondent ever kmew, and ‘e think the advice he gave will apply well to himself. ik e

The Brimfield correspondent should examine carefully thé records of his own reigiibors before unjustly aceusing Rome City as being the resort of outlaws. It has been the custom of Brimfield for the p#ist few years to dump heroff-scouringgin this city. All the bad characters w& ever had, came from Brimfield. From#swhere did Turkey Adams come? Krom what place did the fellow comg@s who recently served a term in jail @y stealing cabbage? From where did our poorest families come? Answgr. Brimfield. Brimfield has furnishéd s a few. good families, but when they left Brimfield they left it empty-handed; what they have now, has been made in Rome City. Brimfield has been the cradle of some of the werst cifizens who ever lived in Orange township. ' Those papers were not found at Rome City. They were found at Northport. We admire truthful people.—Rome City correspondence in Kendallville Standard. I want the fellow who wrote the above to understand that when he talks abont the people of Brimfield he is treading on me. He c¢an say that our town is not half saloons or gambling. dens, and can go into any place in town and will not find a set of drunken loafers playing cards and drinking, as you can always find in Rome City. | will admit there are good respectable families residing in Rome City, as seyeral have meved thge from Brimfield, and who wil! t‘-A wellumed buck any time. While examining the past records of Brimfield, I have also taken the liberty of glancing at the past of Rome City, and can say that of all the mean, dirty cases that have been tried at Albion the majority of them came from Rome City, and the deeds were done by people. who had always lived at Rome City. If your memory needs refreshing any on this point® just let me know, and I will gladly mention some of them to you, as to name them all would require too much time., ‘And tlose people mentioned by the correspondent, never lived in Brimfield, but east of here, farther than Northport - from Rome. When - those papers were taken the persons who took them were tracked into Rome. Now where did the live? Answsr.. Rome City, If you want any more on this subject, let us know as. we have examined the past and present and are thoroughly posted. If you admire ‘‘truthful people,”” why don’t you set the example for others to follow and for once in your life tell the truth? . i
