The - chief business of a country newspaper is to collect all the news of its locality, and publish it in an atfract.drve form; and that one which performs this task most faithfully is the best local paper, regardless of the religion Vr politics of its editor. The publication of a city paper is often | i very remunerative, while those who "conduct country journals seldom re*cefve more than enough to supply their daily frugal wants. So many important interests Converge at business centers that an extensive demand is crested for the papers published in diem, and they derive "handsome incomes from their subscription lists, and obtain good prices for their advertftdngspace. But we who, for lack of means (money or brains), cannot engage in the business of our profession in large places and must be ’contented to remain in small towns, are more dependent upon tire good will and liberality of those among 'whom we reside and with whom we •Lave frequent intercourse. Therefore appeal is made to every reader of ■ thhrarticle: If not already a subscri'ber, pteate bring or send in $2 and have your name enrolled with the ’.generous for one year; if it is already ; with the numerous throng, say a good Void ter the paper to your neighbor And pereuade biiu to become a subscriber alsn.

NARROW-GAUGE RAILROAD.

We learn that the subject of a harrow gauge railway, from thia place to Valpa- . miso through Rensselaer, is being agitated by the citizens of the latter town. We woald much ra'tlier advocate the building -X-i’-a good/'solid gravel road between this .place and the county seat. True it is that the facilities for travel between the two places should be increased In some manner. At the least calculation it would cost STB,WO to build a narrow gauge railroad -from here to Rensselaer, while oue-foilrth ®f that aum would build a good gravel road.— Remington Record. While it Is always good policy to be ” et»i of ■ every enterprise before rt» is undertak•<en, it Is none the less true that the ■cheapest articles are not always the beat, the most economical, or the most ■useful. A cotton pocket handkerchief •does not cost very much money and render certain conditions would, no i doubt, serve a very useful purpose; •but ho ordinary person would spread >it on his bed on a cold winter’s night .and expect tn derive as much comfort iae If ft was ft heavy flannel blanket that would cost several times more, Leaving out of the discussion the 4>otent fact that material to construct «ravel road would have to be proWNd from g Jong diatanoe. ftt greater -expense perhaps than our neighbor of -thd’-Beeord imagines, we would urge ■ that, although it would be a vast imoirovenient over the present highway, MTfl JienMngtun, and Benselaer, and ft large porilbu of the.inhabitants of our county woaid derive fewer advuHtiige* and permanent benefits than would accrue U> them from the little .'..'HMM* costly Jinprovement.

Tstations tn Jasper county from three to JW ffoMwa totaaper per thousand /Mt than now; the lumber yards on the Louisville, New Albany A Chicago road are cited in support of this statement. Rehsseiaer people now buy lumber at Francesville for enough less money than the same grades are sold for In Remington to pay for the cost of Ito team freightage to this place. The route of the proposed enterprise lies directly through the midst of a vast deposit of iron ore in the northern part of Jasper county. Hon. John Collett, Assistant State Geologist, visited these ore-fields lu 1872, and in his report published on pages 200 and 297 of the Geological Survey qf Indiana of that year, makes the following statement with regard to them: Bog ores of iron are abundant In the northern part of the county. The area of deposit, after careful examination bv Mr. 8. P. Thompson, being estimated as follows: Township 80 north, range 7. 700 acres. Township 80 north, range 6, 500 acres. Township 80 north, range 5, 500 acres. Township 81 north, range 0, 1500 acres. Township 81 north, range 7, 500 acres. Township 32 north, range 5, 1000 acres. Township 82 north, range 6, 500 acres. Township 32 north, range 7, 500 acres. Many other beds of smaller area are known to exist. * * * * The beds are generally from one to two and a half feet below the surface of the ground, and from five io six inches thick, with a reported thickness, in some places, of t wo and a half feet. In 1870 Mr. L. D; Gtazebrook dug and shipped from San Pierre station, on the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road, 500 tons of ore, part being from Jasper county and part from Starke county. Other parties dug and shipped from the same point from 300. to 500 tuns. The price obtained was sß"BSf"Wsdeliveredaboard the cars, which paid well for digging, and less than three miles hauling to the railroad. The ore was taken to the Planet ftirnace, in Clay county, but on account of the high rates of freight $8 per ton, as 1 am informed,) imposed >y the railroad, the business was abandoned. The ore is pure, and makes, by admixture with the rich ores of Lake Superior, a very desirable quality of metal; and with reasonable freights, large quantities of the ere would be in demand. Extend the narrow gauge, cheaply operated railroad south of Remington, into the coal-fields of Warren, Fountain, Parke and Clay counties and the pure iron ore of Jasper county, the rich iron ore of Lake Superior, and the smelting coals of Indiana are brought together by means of cheap transportation. Let capital then erect reducing furnaces, iron foundrys, and machinery manufacturing establishments in the midst of the ore-fields of Jasper county, bringing their build* ing lumber and Lake Superior ore from the north, and their coal from the south, and an era of prosperity would be inaugurated for Jasper county far excelling anything in her past history, giving returns a thousand fold in excess of the expense to her inhabitants, and which should enlist the cordial co-operation of every far-seeing and public-spirited citizen.

The Reksbeukb Ukiox mentions as a creditable act of Hon. Mr. Haymond, congressman from this 10th district, that he voted with republicans.- Valparaiso Vidette. This statement Is not as fair as we have learned to expect from Judge Talcott. Mr. Haymond was commended for voting with the republican members of congress bn the amnesty question. Had he done otherwise he would have stultified bis record as a soldier, and impeached his judgment if loyalty. The question was not one of party, nor an issue between democracy and republicanism ; but it was a sqtfare effort upon the part of treason and rebellion to compel the nation, through the elected representatives of the people, to admit that civil war is merely a venial offense at most —a sort of high-toned, genteel pas-

time to be indulged in by gentlemen of leisure at will, without incurring punishment or any one’s serious displeasure—aud not the horrid, barbarous crime it is agaiust civilization, humanity, aud God. Dr. Haymond voted on this issue, not as a republican or democrat, nor in any narrow partisan sense whatever, but he voted as a loyal man, a patriotic citizen, a true statesman and a Christian gentleman, faithfully reflecting the views of an intelligent constituency. In this instance his Judgment was supein his last annual message recommended the passage of an amnesty bill of sweeping provisions. __

As a matter of justice to a political opponent and a much-abused man we desire to state, from personal knowledge, that the story recently circulated, to the effect that Dr. Hambleton, clerk of the ways and means comniittce,numed one of his children after'John Wilkes Booth, is untrue. The child was named in honor of his uncle, John Wilkes Hambleton, and some of the friends of the family were accustomed, in a perhaps questionable, spirit of badinage, to call him Wilkes Booth. This should put at rest the story that he was christened with the name of the assassin l of the martyr Lincoln.— Washington, D. C-, Republican. It would be expecting too much, we presume, of the Inter-Ocean, Indianapolis Journal, and the small fry papers of that kidney, to look lit their columusforu statement of this character. Where the sanguinary under garment Is eliminated from politics they have no interest—indeed, it is probable that if they could not have an occasional sniff of blood, they would even wish they were dead.

In their recent mass conventions, its proprietors are euWt)raged Ur ootid pate for it a career of usefudufißM, popularity, and prosperity fiir In exetfe* of anything hitherto enjoyed by tile press of Rensselaer. *We recollect of but a single instance that may he considered parallel to the action of our friends.'

Notably among them is a column and a half of Mr. Clifton’s interesting “Reminiscenses of Jasper County.” We have been compelled to leave over for next week more than four columns set for this number, on account of the encroachment of advertisements. Says the Valparaiso Messenger: M, L. Spitler, clerk of the Jasper circuit court, is certainly an honest man. -Mr. Binnanton has just received a postal money-order of 66 cents, for fees due him.

A Disclaimer.

Messrs. Editors: In your notice of my lecture on Science and the Bible, you do me injustice in saying that 1 spent three-quar-ters Of an hour trying to prove the bible and science in conflict, and then brought in the bible as an auxiliary to prove the immortality of the soul. This would have shown ridiculous true: but 1 did no such thing. I was speaking of the absolute impossibility of the common orthodox idea of the resurrection of the natural or physical body on scientific grounds; and mentioned Paul’s teaching the contrary of this—the resurrection of a spiritual body. In the whole lecture I certainly gave no inti wrtion-that the Scriptnrcs were" either plenarily er partially inspired. You say ‘‘Dr. Ritchey evidently has drawn more largely from the revelation , he effects to doubt, for his belief in his own immortality, than from the scientific stndy of lepuloptera.” This is the very opposite of what I plainly said, which was exactly in these words: “I can learn more from the miserable caterpillarand butterfly, as to a future life, than from all the sacred writings, bishops and priests in the world.’’ True I could not get hold of the big scientific word you have extracted through my dullness. Once before I was in the same trouble for a word, in your court house, but never heard that it was charged to my superficiality. I might, while engaged in a train of thought, forget, for the time, your own familiar name. You say “a large and orderly audience listened to me,” etc.; this seems to be exactly, true; but y„u seem to have listened carelessly, or occasionally, or you cculd not have so completely misapprehended my meaning in several particulars, I lay it to misapprehension, for I cap see no reason why you should wish to detract from the value of my efforts, as certainly I don’t pretend to know the half—no, not the tenth part —of it. True I said there were many great truths in the bible. I spoke of the golden rule, and why it was adopted by (Jhriet; but remarked that it had been promulgated five hundred years before ho was born, by an old Chinese philosopher. “It is appointed unto men once to die.” This is revealed in the book of nature; and if there are any inspired truths in the bible they came from the study of this higher book, which gives the only reliable revelations from God. This, with what you correctly told, is the subsi ance of iny lecture in the court house Saturday night before last. 8. W. Ritchey. Our venerable friend has done two XElngsTHe has procured the publication of the substance of his lecture, revised by himself, in a newspaper of respectable circulation; and he has freely used the columns of that paper against its editor, without provoking an unkind reply; but it remains to be seen if the bible is demolished, or if science will establish the doctrine of immortality without its aid. The study of lepidoptera certainly has not done this, even so much as by analogy ; for after passing through the successive stages of caterpillar, chrysalis, and -aatoaLjlleg and resolves irrto an elemen ta? condition beyond which science has not penetrated. Science, without the bible, knows nothing about a postexistence of man or lower animals, though the revealed “book of nature” has been spread wide open before her for ages.

Southern California.

Through the courtesy of C. D. Stackhouse, Esq., we are permitted to publish the following extract from a letter written by Sir. Moses W. Stine, who was formerly a citizen of Jasper county. The letter is dated at Santa Cruz, California, January 6th: I have been in California two years and one month. During the time have visited the four coast counties of Napa, Banta Cruz, Santa Barbara and Ventura. Most of my time has been spent in Santa Cruz. 1 think the climate is nearly the same in all, except that further south is warmer and the country .suffers most from drought. People are adopting a better system of irrigation of late, and, consequently,,will not depend so mueb on the rain fall for good Crops. Near the coast they do not suffer so pinch from lack of rain as further inland,*on account of the heavy fogs that prevailall summer. Aa a general thing the soil in the valleys is very productive, lam told that in-places 110 bushels of wheat have been raised, to the acre. A gentleman told me hashed raised 122 bushids of corn' per acre in,Ventura county, but hod to water it, the distance from, the ’sen being too great to be'benefited by the fogs. There are places here where if . the . same industry and economy were observed more could lie made-vn twenty acres of valley land, after fiic years of cultivation, than' 160 acres in Jasper county. Think of strawberries thia season< of the year as large as your thumb 1 and other kinds of frtiitTn their season the best in'the World; and in greatest profusion. For honey this region can not be surpassed. A friend in Ventura county recently wrote that last iflihonm; hn to„k from 100 hires 300 boxes.] &xt» inches in size, and 1,600-pounds qi ■

i strained honey. Any amount of the finest fish may be oabglit in their Moeen. There is a great variety of climate in thia State. It ia cold or hot; windy or calm; foggy or clear, depending on the locality. Some sections are covered with finest timber, While others ere nothing but barred rocks, or covered with scrubby brush, tele now our rainy season, and we are having plenty of it. Wheat and barley that were sowed in the duet ere now s foot high ; and great is the same in many places. We wear the same quantity of clothing the year round, and keep on Woolen underclothes. Our bedding is also the same. At this eeaeon fires are comfortable to sit by mornings and evenings. This would be a good place for a tinsmith to eome to. Il is reported that during the past twelve months more than 66,000 people have moved into California in search of homes. Of course out of this vast number some will bedisappointed and dissatisfied. One should remain here at least one year before settling permanently. I have been here two years and am not settled yet. I came afflicted with chronic diarrhea, hoping the climate would effect, a cure. I have keen treated by Dr. Josalyn. who was once in Rensselaer, and now feel well.

Newspapers discussing the cause of and remedies for the hard times, agree that while individual extravagance has been greatly the cause, individual economy is indispensible to the removal of our financial troubles. In plain words, we must retrench, retrench—until our income shows that shilling outside of yearly expenses in which Micewber declared true joy was only to be found. Thera is no better way to retrench than to attain economical habits. These may be acquired by keeping a daily expense account. This will show where the money goes, and will cause us each month to resolve to lessen our expenditures. The best book of this kind is published by T. J, MORROW of 41 and 43 Warren St.. New York.
