THE REPUBLICAN.

JOHN S. I ENDER, Edltor. THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1871. The Bebellion in France. This Sanguinary and Fratricidal struggle now going on in France has j.ssumed such a horrible aspect, and proportions as make the Frenchmen wish to welcome the terrible and well drilled armies of the Emperor William in lieu of their Situation. The recent attact at Neuilly y? the Government troops, and the powerful resistance by the insurgents, blockaded' the streets with the dead and dying. Latest advices intimate tbat the Their' s Government, Trill be victorions. The Re bellion has resolved itself into two principal forces: The Assembly and the Communists The Com munes arc led by Gen r Cluseret. Receptiom o Grant at Indiana polis The reception of President Grant at Indianapolis last Saturday, was attended with intense enthusi asm at the Acadamy. The Presi dent was introduced by Gov. Baker with a very appropriate speech, to which his Excellency U. S. Grant replied in terms adapted to the oc casioo. This was followed with speeches from Senator Morton, Gen. Colbuin, Hon. Wo. Lawrence of Ohi and Win. P. Fishback. The whole affair was a Grand Ova tion to the President, Some of the Advantages of .ana fact U 1 ei . The following article from S. S. West overoe the advantages of manufactures. and showing what Aurora III., was without and what it. '3 with these institution?, illustrates so definitely what Plymouth might become, that we publish it with the suggestion that our citizens make a move in this direction. fiorroB monitor; lake lor instance the city of Aurora, Illinois, on the C. D & ü. II. R. In 1SC., Aurora had about 4.0U0 inhabitants. It then empfoyed about one hundred men in it Wagnn stops, twenty in a Sash, Door and Blind factory, and twenty in its Woolen Mi lis, and the town bad come to a stand still. Work and trade were dull, although the town was surrounded by a well settled country with a first rale soil. In tbe fall previous, the Railroad Co., proposed to erect their shops at this point, if the citizens would furnish tbe grounds free of cost A vote was taken and $75,000 was voted for that purpose, and work was commenced early in r7. Immediately, real estate doubled in value: new and good business and dwelling houses were erected; mechanics hod employment at in creased wages; rents went up and money became plenty, as a matterrx course. The shops were completed in the summer or V'7, and it was announced, in January, '58, that the Railroad Company had paid the employers the sum of 25,000 for the last month s wages. Since that time, the Railroad Company bus increased its works, and about three years igo it became evident that more room must be had for their work., and yards. Then ptrt'cs in Chicago offered the grounds necessary for shops, and yards ircc of charge, if the shops should be removed near the Union stock yards. At this the Railroad Company offered to remain and bulla audit tonal shops, it tlic city of Aurora would furnish twenty acres of additional ground, and as the ground was mostly built on, it required f7.ooo to get the lands, without the buildings, they being removed to other parts of the city. A vote for the $ 7.".,1 00 was almost unanimous. nie city bos .lso voted $ 100,000 to tht Fox tfcivcr Volley railroad; likewise $ü,000 to the Iowa and Chicago railroad, both of which are controlled by the C. B. & Q. R- R.. thus securing the car and engine buHdinz, and repairing to A.urra Now bow has this effected Aurora? In 1858. the asscsemcut was made for city purposes at its cash valuation, and the assessors books show the valuation to be 9640,771; in 1870 the assessor's cash valuation for city purposes is $S,2IG,7G2, which was probably '2 per cent too low, each year, ana its population has in creased to near 15,()00 souls. Now tbe Railroad Company rys at Aurora over i.200 are shop and yard Jiands, and the monthly payments ate over $50,ooo per month; and as nearly all the men reside there, most oi tue money is ex pended in the city in making improve mcnts and for tht: expense of living. making about $l,000,i00 disbursed by one Ccrareiny alone in maiojiining cars, Ac. That 8aL, Door ind Blind factory has increased to three factories, and the twenty bands to oyer one hundred, as roe shop employs sixty hands. The Wookn Mills employ seventy five, and the feilver platery thirty, (a new branch of business) and they are now doubling their capacity. These, with its Foundries and Machine Shops, 1. ,v been erected since, make Aurora a liv healthy, business town. Take tbe manufacturing indestry from Aurora and sac would sink to an insignificant dead town of perhaps two thousand five hundred inhabitants. In vo ing taxes the citizens of Aurora have had an eye to the interest of the town. She has four splendid school bouses, coatine about -200,000. The figures "hi the foregoing statement are correct, and are token from official sources. I was a resident of Aurora for nearly seventeen years and saw the effect described ! 8. Westoveb. Fatal Affray at Gre mcastle, Indi Greenca&tle was thrown Into a violent excitement on Saturday, afternoon last by a fatal affray, la which Dunbar Bowman eldest son of Rt- Dr. Bowman, an eminent divine, a resident of tbe the Astbury University, lost bis life. The facts are as 'ollows: Young Bowman being ander the influence of liquor, bod quarrel with a co'cred man. The City Marshal appeared and attempted to arrest Bowman, bat found it necessary to have ssrtifTr A bystander was pressed into service, bat upon arriving at the ad the nal let Lim eo. He then went to Hiert's saloon and called for a glass of beer, which was refused. Then he asked for glass of water, which was given him, Aj he was drinking the water Harry Frank entered the back door of tbe saloon. Bowman saw him, and mistook bim for the man who he!ped to arrest aim. When be saw him he eoid, with an oath, you are-the rascal who helped s rest me, and, at toe same ume, auvauc toward bim. When within a few feet bim, he threw tbe glass tumbler which he held in his bond, hitting htm on tbe bead. Frank retreated and Bowman followed with a knife drawn. After Frank had retreated some distance he drew a revolve! and told Bowman to stop or he would shoot him, bat be did not stop, to Frank fired at bim four times In rapid succession, two of which missed him, ore simply gl id the right side of the abdomen, ind tha other penetrated last above the eight rib. Bowsaon then leaned against Kitltard table near and said: "Boys, I guess he's got me this time." Uwm gooL seen tbat he was mortally wounded. He was carried to bis father', residence,

where he lingered. Buffering greatly until 3 o'clock this morning, when death cme to bis relief. Frank gare bims If up to the authorities, waving an examination, and gave bonds of 10,000 to appear before the court on the 24th inst.

The Supreme Court of our State reversed the decr-e in the ca se of the State against John Adel on account of the insufficiency of the Indictment. This will terminate the sentence, and permit him to return to his family and friends who wiH be happy to know that this un fortunate affair has ended. FROM OUB EXCHANGES. A man by tbe name of Hand, accompanied by his wife, was fishing last Saturday evening on Pigeon Lake, about four miles west of Lima, when by some accident the boat capsized and they were brown into the water. Mr. II. caved himself by swimming. The woman was drowned. Standard, One of the maH formidable accusations made by the Democracy against the Republican party is that it is laboring to keep itself in power. This is dreadful if trus. How such a thought must shock the patriotic feelings of the old stagers in the Democratic party! How unutterably wicked it must appear to these virtuous souls for tbe Republican party to so direct its course as to win the popular approval. Ind. Journal Mrs. Jacob Stoycr, mother ot the late Dr. Stover, was buried this (Friday) morning. She hod been in falling health some t!me.-IIer death occurred Thursday morning. National Union. Female Society What is it tin-1 makes all those men who associate habitually with women superior to ot lers who do not? What makes that wo uan who is accutomed to. and at case in, the society of men, superior to her sex in general? Solely because they arc in the habit of free, graceful, continued conversation with the other sex. Women in tins way lose their frivolity, their faculties unfold dl their beauty and captivation in the spitt of intclectual rivalry. And the men Idee their pedantic rude, demeanor, or sullen manner. The coin of the undentanding and the heart changes continually. Their asperities are rubbed off, their better materials polished, and their richness, like the gold is wrought into finer workmanship by the fingers of women than it ever could be by those of men- The iron and steel of their characters are bidder, like the character and arm of a giant, by studs and knots of good and precious stones, when tiny are not wanted In actual warfare. La Porte Herald The house of James Peelle, situated a'jout one mile South Ve.-t of this place, took fire and was entirely consumed about 2 o'clock this morning. Tbe loss is about ti,500. It was insured eome four days p-.evious for Si, 000. Stark County Ledger. The Social Evil It can no longer be concealed that Rochester is acquiring an unenviable notoriety as a place where the "social evil" Is rampant On two recent occaiocs, we have been compelled to record the stouing of houses of , evil repute, but rs this is not a rooky country, the remedy vouhl not seem to be sufficient. Wc deire to say as litt! as possible on the sub ject, and that little for the purpose of arousing public sentiment at home without attracting notice abroad. It is a matter in which all good citizens are interest cd. e?pccially those wno nave sons and daught cr?. Every home and fireside is menaced by this species of crime, and it ought to be suppressed by a prompt en forcement of the law, sustained by an enlightened public opinion- All tbat has been said of Wat saw will soon be said of us, If our best citizens do not at once take measures for narifyinc the morjl atmosphere hereabouts. Plymouth, was lately overrun with lewd women, and her Board of Trustees passed an ordinance that had a marked effect in suppressing the evil. Some such measure is sorely needed in Rochester just now, Rochentcr Spy. A Terrific explosion of a lamp filled with Rose oil, occurcd in the ofiics of Messrs. Gurney & Johnston on Monday cveutng, which would have resulted dis astronsly bad it not been for its early discovery by some gentlemen on the street. Mr- Johnston stepped out of the office for a moment, leaving the lamp burning, partly turned down. The explosion took place a little while afterward. scattering the lamp Into thousands of minute particles. The burning fluid ignited the office tables, which was fortunately noticed liefere any serious damage occured. Notwithstanding the explosion Messrs. Gurney & Johnston will attend to their law business just the same. Valparaiso Vidette. FireThe slaughter bouse of Mathia & Co. located South or the River, was burned on last Monday morning about 2 o'clock evidently the work of an incendiary. A large quantity of meat, prepared for the market on Monday morning, was burned up !n it. The loss is estimated at about 1500. thid we believe, is the Seventh slaughter house which has been destroyed in this immediate vicinity within the last few years: SucL o remarkable fatality is unparalelied in tbe history of incendiar ism. c L. Auger, has lost three, and this is the Second one for Mr. Mathia. Who the unhung villian is, who pcrpe t rates these damnable deeds, cannot even ne conjectured, It Is not known that Mr. Mathia, or his partner, has an enemy in the world, and there is no one in the neighborhood, upon whom a suspicion can rest. A deep and impenetrable mys tery ßurmunds the dark deeds, and, ow ing to the isolated position of the houses, it is almcst imposible to detect the criminais. ii s uopea mat some measures can be taken to detect the knaves and that "a short shift" will bo given them. Miami County Sentinel. A letter of Andrew Jackson, dated May I, 1833, hak just been published in Mas sachusetts for the first time, it is said in ihe course of which ha says, referring to Clay'c Tariff of 1632, Calhoun and tbe Nullifiers: "Mr. Clay's bill takes It un nd classes it with woolens at fifty per ent,: r?"oces it gradually down to twenty percent., and there it is to remain: and Mr. Calhoun and all ihe Nullifiers agree to tbe principle. J he cosh duties and home valuation will be equal to fifteen per cent, more, and after the year 13-12 you pop on coarse woolens thirty-five per cent. If this is not protection I con not unuerstona. inereiore tne iarui was . i m m . . m only tbe pretext, and disunion and Southern Confederacy tbe real object. The next pretext unU be the negro or slavery question. ' Wo have either read this before years ago or some thing wonderfully like it. Cin. foni elet

From Our Noighborrs. M0NTICELL0. The laziest man lives at this place. Farmers are plowing for corn. The editor of the Herald advises the people to go to church, and this may account for tbe absence of fire. ROCHESTER. The "Socia. Evil" prevails here to a fearful extent. A man was robbed of $65, which the Sentinel thinks is too good to be true. A knock down occured a short distance from town produced by bad whle-a-y.

People bev different notions in their heds at different times. Some take rile ten furmic, sum to mekanicx, but old dad wuz a Presbyterian, and he went to konsiderable panes to felcb his deer 6un Timothy up in the nurture and and admoni tion of the Lord. I allers thort I'd like traveling, but then dad wuz crusty and I had no spondoolix. One day I thought de work a little on the old man '6 feelings and puttin on a long smile I says to dad, sez i, dad. wusent I allers a gud boy? sez he, yes, Timothy, If you hadent stole Sam Brown's skates day afore yislurdy I monght say so. This kinder struck me for I thot the old man knowed nothing at all about iL What fur you want to know sez be loosing over bis spectacles. Sez I dad Ide like to be a mlshcocry and lec ture in foreign skorcs and on distant climbs, and spred the eoodness of the ,'ospeland lecture on youseful topicks etcetera A sez he Timothy vou umhiitiiful sun just last Sunday you hed to run outer mectin and taken me bye the collar and given me to or 3 accents alwut the place they brand horses in Kentucky, and then layin me across his nee, which, I effcctiouately embraced andthen he proceeded to demonstrate the multiplication on the largest patch on ml breeches unt il I thoroughly understood the rule of coz & effect, then sez be: 'Now Timothy. if yer dont go and clean them there bosses as I told yer to do,' I'll trofflc you in foreign lans, the durndest. I rose with eyes streaming with love fur the old gentleman, revolvin how I cood kum the snap game. J ust then I got a letter from my old chum, which read as follows: Bucksville lnieconny: Tom Dear sirr Imc going to start next weak fnr Kons r? nt!. a . .... o xiuqk uin, on a irm iur ruv neilh. tr and go long and well have a cussed cud time. lours trulv. Joceaphus Muggins. In an instant I wuz in a glow of rap ture from the sole of my hed to the crown of my fete. I started fur town and met old deacon Binkleton, which owde dad 500 dollars, and wuz just a bringing of it bum. Sez he 'Timothy whare ore you going.

I cot thalr and met Jeaeaphus all a glow for the trip In the morning Meanwhile Joceaphus proposed we'd

visit sum ov tbe principal places ov amusement to prepare us fur our jouruy. We went to Brlens grocery and thought we'd take Sutten fur the stomachs sake. Then we wended our way to the Theater. We were met at tbe door by a strapping nice looking fellow, and sez he, 'Gentle

men, have a box seet, or take the cokplt,' sez I 'yes,' he winked to another fellow, and sez he, 'ill right,' and in we went, and wuz ushured into a rume what were several she fellows just dressing, ther selves fur the stage.

Joceaphus declared he hed hair enough pulled outer bis head to stuff a pick saddle. We then went to a taycrn and got lodgings, and sich lodgings, it seemed to me az if we were on rollers, and the snappin, 'cracken, creeechen and crawlin of animals waz friteful too behold. Next morn in wc went to sec when the six o' clock train cum in, and by natural instinct went to Basdera s:Ioon, and took eatben five or six times. I golly I felt like smashing things.
