Sti* A. B. SMITH, Editor. THURSDAY SEP*. 25, 1879. In many parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts, the potato rot has set i-, and promises a serious injury to the crop, So Stale in the Uoioo is making such progress as Texas. Twelve years ago, she shipped only 75,000 bales of cotton. Last year she shipped 1,000,. 000 bales. Fifty colored citiaens of Yazoo county, Miss., hare voluntarily signed a card, declaring that the most fraternal and friendly relations exist between ihe colored race and the white people in that oouuty. A youno man named Cessna, near Upper Sandusky, shot himself the other day while regulating bis revolver. Every respectable young man should get a revolver and shoot himself. It is becoming so fashionable. OI.D “Succeedanium" Deunison ssys in his speech that be would rather have Jeff Davis in the United States Senate than Thurman or Pondleton. Like overy other man, the old rooster has a ri to his choice, but he ought to exhibit some sense io making it. The negro exodus still wants money, but there is little money forthcoming. There is a general impression that there was cpnsiderable scoundrelism back of the movement that will not be discouraged as long as it can levy upon the sympathies of the people A most foul murder was commited in Chicago last Saturday night, th t baffles the police to detect the perpetrators. A young man named Harrw Lepschitz, a Hebrew peddler, was found in the river below tbe twelttb street bridge with rnatks on hi- person which indicated that be bad met with foul p ,a s i The South is more solid than at any time since the war. She will raise, this year, about 5,000,000 bales of cotton, 200,000 hogsheads of sugar, and very nearly 600,000,000 pounds of tobacco. This will be a half million more bales of cotton, twice the amount of sugar, and 12,000.000 more pounds of tobacco than she ever raised before. Louis Guetig, the murderer of Miss Mary M’Glew, at ludlhnapolia a year ago, was hung on last Friday the 19. It will be remembered by many that he was sentenced to be hung on January 29, last, with Ackey and Merrick, but on an appeal to the supreme court, tbe sentence of the lower court was reversed on the ground of error in one of the instructions of the court. The reeeption which awrited Gen' Grant in San Francisco, as described in the Tribane’s specials, was as brilliant and successful as bad been predicted. Tbe preparations were so thorough, and the popular sentiment of welcome bo unanimous, that the first tap of the bell at 3:30 o’clock Saturday afternoon aroused the whole populace; the three or four days waiting had only served to increase the public enthusiasm; the coming of dark before the land procession storted, added brilliancy to the improvised illumination and fireworks, and tbe scene jurat have been the most animated and gorgeous demonstration ever known in this country. It was a credit to the people of California, aa well as a oroper tribute to tbe modern Ulysses returned home from his wanderings,— Chicago Tribune. The Indianian of last week whoops it up pretty lively to the Republican on “claims." It seems that the latter “claims" a larger circulation than the former, and Reub "rises to explain’’the facts in ihe case, which places tbe “claims" of the Republican in rather a bad shape, y Rut, in speaking of “claims," the traveling agent tor the Republican, “H. Chase, the only P.-P.,” CLAIMED to one of cur business men that their list at this post' office numbered over “two hundred." The tnith is, they never had more than one hundred, and to-d.iy their list only reaches thirty-five. We were astonished when our merchant told u.s what

they 2claimed” here, for we thought, as that young man was siudymg for the ministry, and calculating to-emerge ioto’that branchjof business next spring, that he would not be so guilty as to tell a falsehood in order to get an ad Vertisement out of him at half price. Tbe Republican is iu tbe habit of sending this truthful (?) young man here to solicit job work, and we willjsay that if The News office, with its cheese press and shoe pegs, caonot turn out better work than we have ever seen come from that office, we will shut up shop. dossier, it will pay you to get a better “P. P."than“H. Chase, the only,” if you want to eompete with us, either iD style, quality or price. A man by the name of Chas. J. Hartman was arrested at South Rend on Tuesnay last on a charge of rape on the person Jof Mrs. Yankee. The Uegtsttr give a detailed account of the trial before tbe justice, and as the prisoner protests that be is innocent, wc should judge from the testimony that he is guilty of the charge beyond a doubt. Such bellishuess as this is getttng to be a too commoD occurrence aud a pnnislmieut of imprisoning for a few years is just encouraging such crimes. Lynching and burning at the stake is none io good for such desperadoes. The time has come that our wives and daughters are oot safe to be out alone upon the public bigbway for fear that some deamon may pounce upob them and ravish their person like a panther devours his prey. The dailies give accounts by the hundred, of cases where these outlfivs have ravished little girls ranging from nine to twelve years of age, aud -in many instance,, they are Mi;! younger. Itis high time that something was being doue to stop this hellish crime.

A few days since a woman dressed female attire applied to one of pur farmers just west of town for work, aud being in need of some help she was engaged, entering immediately upon her duties as a farm hand, together with two other hands employed at the same place. A week or more passed.by, during which time the new man? occupied a bed with the one of the other hands. One day' while all were at work in the field this newcomer signified some uneasiness and assrrted that their conversation was not chaste enough, declared to them that she was a woman, and left lor the house where she sought a settlement, after which She proved her sex to the woman of the house aud departed. Tbe young man who had been occupying a portion of her bed, asserts that he thought strange of his companion aa she always blew out the light before arranging ber wardrobe for the night, and that it it always so happened that she slept on, the sheet that covered him. Tally one for the Snyder cojiuty boy.—Bristol Bauuer.

We venture that she couldn’t cotne that kind es a “game” over a majority of the young men in this viciuity. The Napppanee News says that town purchased during last month 30,809 bushels of wheat and paid therefor 928,736.31, which lays over Goshen a good wavs. The truth is Nappanee is a live town investad by a clasß of citilens intent on business and its welfare, and we know wheres we speak. The firm ofMellinger & Cos., alone employ, twenty.two hands, and last month paid to them $530.47, which can be pointed to with commendable pride.— Oo- 1 sAen Independent. “Commendable pride,” indeed such is the fact, Wc look upon such enterprises with a great deal of satisfaction. Our town has but few other than “enterprising" men in business, who can see by the complimentaries, such as the above, that advertising in its various forms, ones pay. One of the young ministers m this conference gave up a *’,(.00 situation in a bank to enter the ministry and work (or CaOn a year It Is unnecessary to add that he is i he most promising young preachers in the conference.—S. B. Register. He is a most extraordinary young man. We can scarcely believe that a person wil l leave a situation ro accept another at one-fourth salary. It isn’t human nature to give up a good thing unless its equivnien is obtained. There must be an inducement aside from the mvth connected with it.—Hiddlebnry Record. y Why, Joel we know ofy minister that gave up his circuit, that was paying him a salary of *3<W per,, year in cash, besides donations In cabbage, dried apples, corn, etc.', to clerk in a. saloon at $25 per month and board. You might call that also against human nature, for a man to “threw up" suolt a “soft snap." An evil-minded person who gives a person a blast behind their backs, is the most detestable creature allowed tQ breathe. Such parties aborhti ia every community and they should not be countenanced by persons who value their names and character. Heard.

A LET TEX. Editor Nbwb:—ls It not strange that in all communities, and under ail circumstances wc And those who are dissatisfied with their surroundings; always complaining and finding fault with the ways of their neighbors ? They do not enjoy life themselves, and would deprive others of its pleasures. Persons like'‘Visitor," who came to see us, and after sharing our hospitality, tasting our salt, smoking our cigars, perchance drinking our beer, goes h me sad blowsabout what an immoral, saonligiens act of Sabbath tu-eakers we are. and not satisfied with tell ng the Bilks at home, goesand publ shes us. Why, he even rails upon the -good' order loving citizens of town” to compell our band to stop ‘‘tooting'' when he is town. Now, I don’t like music myself, but Ism a judge of morals, ar.d know the folks in Nappanee—l live here, and for his benefit will say our band is composed of young men, who, for morality, good conduct, sobriety and true manhood you cannot discount. Young men whose society I wish children of mine to court, and strive to emulate their example. You have the power, Mr, Visitor, as yet, and can use it, but this is an age of revolution, political and social, War has been declared against monopolies, ami although for years we permitted you to monopolize one seventh of our lives we are beginning to assert our ability to navigate our own bark, and. although young, arc more vigorous than you think. Mr, "Visitor,” come sou us some more - Citizen. A COMMUNICATION. Mr. Editor, I noticed in your paper of two weeks ago, a suggestion that is in order, and well timed. It was m regard to constructing a side-walk to the school-house. In our opinion this is a matter that should be attended to at once; and should interest every patron of the school within the town at least, and fill should be interested in the welfaie oi the children. Not only theii comfort bu.t their health demands it, as al 1 know that there is a low place between town and the school-house that becomes impassible at times for our girls and small chiMreo at least, without getting wet feet, which is very unhealthy as we all know. Proper regard fbr the welfare of our children demands it. Will not someone take the lead in this matter, and have a subscrip-1 non circulated for that purpose? Wo fee conildent it will be well received and liber aly subscribed to. A SUBSCRIBES. NEIGHBORHOOD NE ITS.

Mr Isaac Berkley sold a six months Durham calf to Mr. Early, of South Bend, for 150. It weighed 685 pounds, and is as fine a calf of its age as we ever saw. — Goshen Times. The Cincinnati, Wabash and Michi gan road will carry .passengers to, the Indiana state fair for half fare. This is a splendid opportunity for all those wishing to attend from this locality. Alady by the name of Mrs.JWagner, living over Neff’s saloon, in- Goshen, attempted at suicide by taking poison on Tuesday of last week, but her life was saved by the timely arrival of a physician. Chicamauga, the horse rode by Gen. Gleason at the terrible battle of that name, near (Jhatanooga during tbe late war, died al the home of Gen. Gleason, in Laporte, a tew days ago, in the tweuty-lourth year of his ag e.—Elk~ hart Democrat. IT U. S. Marshal Adams has been in the county during the week, serving summons and enforcing judgsmeufe. in the drive well eases. Five members of the anti-drive well association paid theii judgements and costs, amounting to 8440. —Goshen limes. Mr. Ira Winegar, an old resident of this county, well known to nearly every inhabitant, died at the residence of bis sod, in York township on Sun. day, September 14, 1879, aged 80 years, 7 meffiths and 4 days. Mr. Winegar was a soldier of the war of 1812. Kendaiville is entirely destitute of means to battle with the destroying element should a conflagration occur. —New Era. Nappaue is in the same | boat. If a lire shoutd break out in the i center of town, do doubt the whole village would go, as'we have no water ihat we could use to any advantage. On Sunday morniog of last week, a man giving his name as Ed, Hall was found in Samuel Pease’s barn, siok and famishing for the want of care. Mr. Pease took him to the bouse. A lady residiug near towu hearing of the circumstance, and getting a description ; oi the lnau, procured a cuuveyauoe and went to the poor house where she found that this man was her father whom she had not seen for over twelve years. —Bristol Banner. A great many business men spend at least thirty cents per day for oigars, whioh for a year would amount tot 109.50, yet you could not prevail on some of them to do 825 worth of advertis. ing in a year, as it would oost too tnueb money, when at the same time it is evident that advertising would almost double tbe sales. A business man who lacks energy to push his business bas some queer ideas as to these things.— Ntu> Era. o • It is said that tamarack bark boilod down sod given to bogs that bve the cholera will effect a cure in every oase in which the hogs can be induced to uke it.
