Rochester elected Republican clerk and Assessor and two Trustees, Democrats elected Treasurer and one Trustee. Go to Becker & Wolf for your I dress goods, they have the best selected stock that was ever brought to Plymouth. The city election im Indianapolis brought out home talent in the news papers. The Journal made it lively for the Democrats. In Plymouth tUere was scarcely a ripple of politics in the city election. The only offices to fill were a councilman in each ward. Mr. Perry Schlosser is erecting a comfortable dwelling house on Jefferson street, the west side of the L, P. & C. railway crossing. Becker & Wolf, the New York store, is the place to buy goods as they will sell cheaper than any dry goods house in Plymouth. Physicians recommend the use of Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer to prevent grayness, and to cure eruptions of the scalp. Buck & Toan are sole agents of Oliver's South Bend Chilled Plows. Beware of all imitations. Oliver's is the only genuine South Bend Plow. Ice formed a quarter of an inch thick in exposed places in this locality last Monday night: but no damage to fruit prospects has followed, as yet New fences are being built in nearly every part of our city; old roofs are being replaced with new ones, and additions to dwellings are being built. Mrs. Wm. C. Nelson, of LaPorte, was in Plymouth the fore part of this week, visiting her relatives, Mrs. W. C. Edwards, Mrs. Schuyler Alleman and Mrs. Dr. Baily. She is in poor health. Never wet your pencil in your mouth; but for all aches, pains, wounds, bruises, neuralgia, heartbarn, or indigestion, use Pershing's Magnetised Sovereign Balm, and be happy. 100 agents wanted to sell medicines. "But above all is charity." If you feel charitable, and owe A. Hawley, please pay him. Everybody must know that he needs money, and must it be only at the end of the law that people will come up and help a man in distress. Springer has concluded to drop the investigation of Gov. Morton's war accounts. He acknowledges that h was sold; but Senator Morton will make an explanation. He cannot afford to let so good a chance pass unimproved. Bro. Rerick, of the Lagrange Standard has our thanks for kind words, We highly prize the esteem of old friends who have lived honorable and useful lives. The citizens of Legrange have reason to be proud of their loeal paper. Somebody lost a license to marry, and wme other boy found it, and hung ;t up in the post office last Tuesday. It had probably been used ! for the purpose for which it was in- 1 tended, as the certificate which was issued with it had been torn off. Uncle Jimmy Williams, it seems, ' did not get elected to Congress on account of his blue jeans suit. He paid the delegates who nominated him liberally for their votes in the convention. Honest Jimmy is a sly old chap. The blue jeans suit makes him appear like an honest man-but a a . I appeorauces are not. always trusted. -Buck & Toan keep the largest stock of Builders' Hardware in Mar shall county. Call and examine.

He had not slept a wink for ' twenty-four hours, coughing all the

j time. His sister bought a 25 cent bottle of Dr. Bull s Cough Syrup at the MMTMt drug stcre, gave him a dose, and the cough was broken at once and he slept quietly through the night. In Tyner City, three Trustees were to have been elected, but they only elected one. Dr. D. D. Fife. In the 1st and .'Id wards the candidates were tied if not tight. R. S. Shafer was elected Assessor ; Leroy Johnson Clerk; and Dr. C. M. Swihart Treasurer. Judge Carpenter, editer of the Indianian made us a short, but acceptable call one day last week, on his return fron? Indianapolis to Mi home in Warsaw. The Judge fairly maintains, and in some particulars improves the character of the Indianian. Berkey, at the corner hardware store, offers the largest assortment of plows for our farmers to choose from He represents the Adams Chilled plow, the Ft.

Newark, N. J.. furnishes the best. They are called the "Light-Running Domestic" and are to be found at any office or agency of the "Domestic" Sewing Machine Company. Rev. H. V. Reed and wife were presented with a silver tea set, con sisting of seven pieces, by a number of their friends, last Friday evening that being the 16th anniversary of tneir matrimonial union, it was a surprise to them, as was also the visit of some 75 of their friends with refreshments, while they were decoyed away from their house a short time. The presentation speech was made by Rev. Stephens, pastor of the M. E. Church. The fifty-seventh anniversary of Odd Fellowship in America was celebrated in Goshen, on Wednesday of last week, by a number of Lodges ln ortnern Indiana. rne procession numbered between 500 and 600 Odd Fellows and four Bands. An address was delivered by Rev. A. M. Buck, of Otsego, Mishigan, in the M. E. church. The address far exceeded the most sanguine expectations, although elder Buck was known to be a good speaker. The May number of The Farmer' lysnthhj hsis made its appearance on our table. This is the second number of a large and well filled farmer's paper, published by McDonald Brothers, and conducted by H. V. Reed, Plymouth, Ind. It is devoted to "progressive farming, horticulture and home instruction." It has already received a very creditable circulation, and bids fair to make its way among the better class of agricultural papers, as it evidently deserves. Prof. John G. Laird, of Stock -well, has been in our city, for a few days, taking orders for an excellent map of the State of Indiana. His orders are principally, if not entirely, from school trustees, for the use of schools. The Prof, is well known to educators in Northern Indiana, having spent many years as county superintendent of public schools in LaPorte county, and as the head of a private academy in Westville. The Prof.'s health which had been somewhat impaired by confinement to the school-room, is much improved. Jury for the May term, 1876, Marshall Circuit court Union Township, A. T.

Morton, accusing him with being a defaulter to the U. 8. government, in the sum of $250,000. The money is said to have been used by Senator Morton, when he was Governor of this State.

A person living in a glass house should never throw stones, says a down town man. Correct. The abominable assessor has been around. There is a time when poverty is not so objectionable. -We had the pleasure of a few minutes conversation with I. Mattingly and wife yesterday morning. ' It may be funny for young ladies to misbehave in church, but most persons speak unfavorably of such conductLast Wednesday Andrew Cal houn, of Walnut, was arrested on a peace warrant, sued out by Frederick Stair, and brought before Esquire Beam. He demanded a change of venue and was sent to Esquire Kelley, of your city. Not being able to give bond he was escorted to the Hotel de Fink. Trial to-morrow, we believe. Lesson: "Let not your angry passions rise. Indianapolis has been red hot for the past week politically. The Democratic council, fearing defeat on the old lines, re-distrieted the city seven days before the election, and even after the voting places had been announced and the judges appointed. The act is no doubt illegal, but, as such games are'usually unsuccesful, the Republicans are fighting the bummers on their chosen ground. ! To-day's work will decide whether the city is to be governed by the party of law and order, or by the bummers and hoodlums. I ii !. BT EyflNOX. Inwood, May 2d, 1876. News items scarce this week. Considerable building will be done in our town this summer. Mr. W.H. H. Stoner has been considerably indisposed, but is feeling better now. Croquet is now the ordsr of the day, by all who have time to indulge in the game. Jo. Updyke is the only man in town who manufactures the running gears to patent right birds-nests. Our farmers are preparing to plant com, but we guess the present cold snap will cool their ardor somewhat. Weather pleasant but cool, and fears are entertained by some, that the fruit crop may be damaged by tne rrost. Lee & Dickinson have been j building some very nice fence and ; side-walks, on their land near the 1 church, and they will not be present j at, nor give their consent to, the hitching of teams to their fence. Please remember and govern yourselves accordingly. Marmunt. BT OB A PRO Nobis. Marmont, Ind., May 1st, '76. Who saw Dr. Edmonds in Plymouth last week? Prof. Hill's musical efforts failed in this place. Miss Jones commenced school here this morning. Dr. Durr has got the mules at last "Stand from under" Doctor. James Gray, of Fulton county, has bought property in Marmont. John Burlin has become a citizen of Mannont. He has rented the Houghton property. Marmont to the van ! It supports two Sabbath schools would have thought it? now. Who Our new men hants, Durfee and Hiland, have started their huckster wagon. Success to them. E. Phelps has purchased a farm of Dr. Durr, down on the Tippecanoe, whither he has gone to till the soil. A little l.ity, with his first pair of new hoots, could not well be more proud than Mrs. Rogers is of her young daughter. Even the Doctor burns mere tobacco under his nose than he did. George W. Miller, our former merchant, has formed a mercantile co-partnership with Joseph BoM t, of Monterey, Pulaski county. Mr. Miller will probably bid adieu to Maimont this week. During the prcvailance of the i thunder storm, last Thursday night, the barn of Harmom Uhl, who lives two miles south of here, was struck by lightning, and burned to ashes, including several tons of hay, and a number of sheep. No insurance. Miss Sarah Zechiel, who is about 13 yeare of age, and daughter of William Zechiel, was nearly burned to ' I death, last Thursday, under the fol lowin circumstances: She was as sistiug her father in burning brush, 1 when her clothes took fire, and, but fur the timelv M nf her father wm.lH : -w ' v "v.

Mathew placed on record the appended sentiment, nearly 2,000 years ago, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every eity or house divided against itself, shall not stand." The truth of this sentiment was most fully illustrated at the church on last Sabbath, when, by the bigoted audacity of a couple of beings in human form, the Union Sabbath school, which had been in successful operation all winter, was br night to "desolr.tion." The public announcement, by a christian professor in Sabbrcth school, on last Sabbath, that he "did not believe in a Union Sabbath school, that he would not support one. and that he objected to holding one in the M. E. church, for it (the church) was built by the Methodists and no body else had any right to it," was rather startling. The gentleman seemed to have forgotton or nad not learned

! that in union there is strength. Union is the most powerful word in the English language. A harmonious euphony vibrates from its sound. An enchanting halo surrounds it. It was the word that brought order out of chaos. Its melody still echoes in heaveu, and will through the ceaseless ages of eternity. It is the magic word that has rallied millions to deeds of daring. It has been seized by each successive combination of the humnn family to accomplish de sired objects, good and evil. All have pereeiveu mat union is sirngin, mat united they might stand; divided they must fall. What language thrills through the soul of both patriot and christian like "Our Union," the watchword of 1776? And shall this union be preserved to millions yet unborn, or will we, like nations that have

gone before us, suffer unity and pa- on Monday the 1st day of May. Bishtriotism to be strangeled, yes basaly op Janes called the conference to

suffocated, by bigotry by party spirit and internal dissensions? Let "Union" be the watchword from the White House to the rude cabin of the backwoods-man, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the northern provinces of Queen Victoria to the sunny clime of the Montezunias. Let christians make it their watchword in their conflict with the man of sin. North Township. BT "H. H. Tuesday, May 2d, 1876. Health generally good. Look at the frost this morning. Dr. Flory is not quite in the Democratic party yet. Mollie Spicher is having good success with her school. Rev. lilirn will nrnrh nt the churnh Qext 8und ,d k W. Shafer's school closes next Friday. He a successful teacher. Dan Seltonright against any man in the county for talking polities. William Cotiger is the man we speak for, as trustee. What say you, William? The entertainment given by the the amateur club Saturday night, was weli attended. If Nathan and Schuyler want all of their names in the paper, all they have to do, is for Nathan to go across the river and Schuyler must wade across. We were reminded of a picture in our school history, entitled "Going to church," when Isaac Clayton rode up the street the other night with a "guard" before him. "John," you talk about us being on the warpath. Do you take us for a lunatic asylum, eh? 'Spose you could make us fight who fired the first shot anyhow, eh? We had the pleasure of listening to a beautiful sermon preached by the Rev. J. C. Stevens, at the Conger school house, Sunday afternoon. The theme was "man's duty." Griando Bidgwav has struck a vein at last. He has plunged headlong into the map and chart business. He has just received a large supply from an eastern company, Give him a call. John Johnson is determined to be an old bach. It is generally understood that he can scarcely be persuaded to even look at the ladies. He never takes any one in that beautiful buggy but his aged mother. Again death has entered into our midst, and taken from us one of our most pious ladies. Mrs. Emily Schroeder was consigned to the narrow limits of the tomb en Friday last. She leaves a large family and a host of friends to mourn thier loss. The funeral services were conducted ty the Rev. Wm. Welsh. l ink ill.-. By " JOHN. Linkville, May 2d, 1876. Assessors now, potato-bugs next Two law-suits at 'Squire Ridgway's yesterday. Rev.

Uidgway, Esq., will sell his personal proverty at public sale on the 13th day of this moath. Our saw-mill men must have plenty of work, judging by the number of logs they haul through town. From letters received from Eli iah Mosholder. we learn that he is COntented and happy in his new home in Nebraska. The farmers are busy planting corn.

Don't croak about hard times this will be a year of excitement, go to work and also make it a year of Industry and prosperity. The times are always just what the people make them. Pendleton has been laid away on the shelf of the museum, for a political relic, carefully labeled: Gentleman George, killed by a disastrous aeeident on the Kentucky Central railroad, at Belknap Marsh, through the carelessness of the engineer, Heister Clymer. Mrs. Stough, Matilda Stough ami her child were all poisoned yesterday by eating canned rhubarb. They were all thrown into violent spasms, but by the assistance of Dr. Flory, they were saved from a violent death. Howlong will it be before people will learn not to can rhubarb In tin cans.

Peru was destroyed by fire last Saturday morning, involving a loss of $10,000, with an insurance of $2,000 in the Nerth British and Mercantile. Hiirae Thieves Captured. The South Bend Tribune, of April 29th, says: John Ireland returned to-day from a trip accompanying the deputy sheriff of Dwight, 111., for the capture of a couple of horse thieves. They overhauled and took them into custodv at Monroe, Mich. The thieves had five stolen horses in their possession, two of which wore stolen from Dwight. M. 1 Conference.

To the Common Council of the City of Plymouth: In compliance with the law, I herewith submit my report, as Mayor, of the receipts on judgements in favor of the City of Plymouth, from May 7, 1875, to April 24, 1876.
