On the 9th of Ootober, Ignatiug Mattlngly purebaeed ihe office and took charge of the editorial department, and the paper became red-hot Republican. For twelve years the editorial management of the Rktcblicas devolved on Mr. Mattingly, and be did a work for the Republican party in thia county aud this district wbtch few men could have done, and which was no doubt bat little appreciated by those most benefitted, au I never perhaps fully understood by the Republicans of the county.

On the 15th of September of that year Mr. Beiangee died. He was only twenty two years old, a young man of energy and ability, and the paper no doubt suffered a severe loss

by bis death. Tbe entire manage- 1

Tbe paper was published by Nichols & Philips until March, 1871. when Mr. Nichols retired and left Mr. Philips in charge of the office. Aa the reader may well imagine, none of those men got rich.

This arraag-ment continued until Occ 1st, 1875. when the Rkpcblicax was consolidated with the Mail and Magnet, then owned and published by Howard Brooke. Mr. Brooke then became busi. ess manager of the paper, aud remained in the office until April, I87S, when he sold his interest to Geo. Packard. Jobn Millikan again took charge of the Republican, Oen. Packard being the owner aud editor of tbe LuPorte Chrtmicle. and still residing at LaPurte. Iu August of the same year Oen. Packard sold tbe paper to Henry D. Stevens, a young man of considerable ability and good intentions, but no newspaper experience. The paper was then a nine column folio, and the expense of publishing it, by a man who knew nothing of the business, exceeded tbe in eonae, and be having taken it on trial, in December it again reverted to Gen. Packard, who, on the 26th of that month, sold it to D. . Caldwell. Mr vJaldwell was a man of considerable energy, but possessed no well defined principles, except to make all the money he could. He published the paper until Feb. 14, 1877, wben, And ing himself becoming rather unpopular, he sold the office to Messrs Biders & Piper. What the paper has been since then our readers all know.

aa it la customary to have Qoverment offices olosed up on New Year's Day. Secretary Sherman this afternoon sent out a circular to banks and subtreasuries relating to resumption. He quotes section three of tbe rerumption act, as follows. "Section 3. And on and after the 1st day of January, Anno Domini 1879, the Secretary ot the Treasury shall redeem in coin United States legal-tender notes tben outstanding, on their presentation for redemption at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of the Uuited States io tbe city of New York, io sums of cot less than SO Approved January 14, 1875." And says: "As tbe effect of the above section will be to remove any practical dinVrenoe io values of coin and notes as a circulating medium aftei the 1st of January next, no dis tiuction between them will be made In keeping, rendering, or settling accounts of public officers involving transactions which occur subsequent to that date. MatureJ coupons of tbe Uuited States and checks issued by tbe Treasurer of the United S't -for interest or principal of the publKdebt, by law payable in coin, will be paid by the Assistant Treasurer of Ute United States at New York, upon pre sentatloo, in coin; or, if the claimant prefers, such coupons and checks will be paid by said Assistant Treasurer, or any other independent treasury officer iu the Uuited States notes. Such registered interest payments by law In coin as is paid on schedules at any other cities than New York will tlso be paid the claimant in coin, by check on the Assistant Treasurer oi he United States at New York, wblct beck may be cashed in Uuited Statetotes if tbe holder prefers; or. i lalmant prefers, such interest max e paid to him direct in United Statejotes by the officer or checked witt payment of schedule.

There were very heavy rains in the Eastern States, last week, and Immense damage was done by the high water in many places in Massachusetts, Mew York aud Pennsylvania.

Some gentlemen who were on the bridge that spans the river just above tbe boiling rapids hastily tore the re,ns from some horses standing there, and made lines which the man and boy caught us they passed under and were saved, while the wagon body plunged over the falls.
