SMALL TALK.

-Thr Mfckeever building W* mar log completion as fast as possible. —Bee card of R. 8. A Z. Dwiggins; money to loan at T per eeut> interest. The editor of our Educational column reported too late for this week's, issue. Hereafter his defrortreent will be of more interest to teachers and the general reader —The present term bf bbf Circuit Court shows increased litigation. Much of the time however is taken up on Causes brought here on change ot Venae from Benton land Carroll counties. —The report of the examination of teachers held Saturday, October Bstb, la as follows: One license Was ironed for 24 month*, one for 18 months, one for 12 month, and 7 for 8 months. There were 28 in the daro, 10 of Whom (ailed. —We are pleased to announce the marriage of two of oar young friends at Rochester, Indiana—Mr. Cha*. K. Plank, son of Dr. A- K. Plank, and Miss Minnie Brackett, step-daughter of Mr. E. E. Cowgili, which took place at the residence of the bride’s parents, Wednesday evening of last week. If there are two line young people in Rochester they are the parti, s named, and their union cannot fail to be one of great pleasure and happiness. Their marriage was attended by a host of friends, and the presents received were numerous and valuable.

.—Not many days since we halted long enough on a street corner to wit* ness (incidentally, of course,) a Rens* selaer lady sawing wood. It was just a little while before dinner time, when, undoubtedly, the potatoes had refused to boil, and the only stick of wood in the bouse was several inches too long. With wood and saw in hand she approached the saw-horse, wearing a look of determination bordering on revenge. She put one knee j on the refractory stick, as men but the edges of the wood were sharp, I and after a single effort she took it down again with an inaudible ejaculation. With a glowing diareg&rd for appearances she placed her foot on it instead, when it seemed to us that the ‘work would soon be accomplished, but not ao. At this juncture her back hair came down, which so annoyed her that she had to stop and twist it into a hard knot before proceeding further. Resuming her labors the saw commenced a terrible skipping and jumping, seemingly of its own accord, while to all appearances the whole feminine organization was struggling to keep the foot up that was up and the foot down that was down,until at an unlucky momeDt the power of gravity overcome all, and the wife, saw-horse and wood went over together. Getting up slowly she cast a glance in the direction of the street to eee If any person had witnessed her misfortune, and observing a stranger not far away, who, to all appearances, was unconscious of what had happened, she slammed down the saw, struck the stick acrossthe saw-horse, which broke it in two, and made long strides for the kitchen door, possibly.vowing in her heart that she would never attempt to saw wood again to cook a dinner for the best man alive.

—A case was tried before the Jasper County Circuit Court last week which elicited considerable interest, and afforded no small amount of amusement, brought by Mrs. Alice Velire, wife of Claus H. Vehre, against her father, Lewis Mosier, all of Keener township. It seems that previous to Alice’s matrimonial veuture with Claus, she was employed by her father to do general work upon the farm—plow, harrow, rake bay, feed the cattle, etc., fora, consideration of two dollars and fifty cents per week. Alice, being inured to farm life prior to her maturity, accomplished her work in a satisfactory manner, and was generally considered one bf the> best hands ou the farm. Time passed on; the crops grew and flourished, the cattle thrived, the golden grain was gathered into the garner, and everything prospered under the skillful labors of this buxom Hoosier lass. But, alas! the pay came not Still she toiled on, trusting iu the love and promises of a fond parent that all would be well In the M sweet bj’-and-by.” Claus H. Vehre,a tbriftyyoung man, and also a tiller of the soil, observing the diligence and evideut satisfaction with which Miss Alice engaged in her daily vocation, gazed frequently into her comely face and discovered ere long that cupid bad pierced Ills heart with an arrow of love, which, after basking in the sunlight of her smilee for a season,induced him to offer his heart, hand and fortune in marriage, and soon there were

“ Two son la with bat a single thought. Two heart* that beat a* one.” After ail this bad occurred, the father of the loving bride was reminded that the one hundred and forty dollars due her for faithful services rendered as a farm hand, would be very acceptable to furnish the necessaries of life aud “set up housekeeping.’' But the old gentleman demurred, and made no further promise that the “needful” should be forthcoming. After much talking and persuading a general family broil ensued, and. threats and persecutions were indulged In by the parties directly Interested. The final Was an appeal to the courts, which resulted in a judgment against the father in favor of the daughter for the sum named above. The Bcriptures teach us that “brother shall not go to law against brother,” but aays nothing about a daughter compelling an obstinate father to pay for services faithfully rendered after she bad become of lawful age. The father is to blame, possibly only so far as bis having promised to pay the daughter a given sum, for, in fact, a child can never render a fair equivalent for the trouble, expense, labor aud anxiety common to the proper care or children. It is to be hoped that all parties concerned in this suit have learned wisdom by experience, and that they will forgive as they expect to bo forgiven, and hereafter dwell together in peace and onity as it becomes good fa miles and neighbors.

Wood will also he taken on subscription- We alap Rant to employ s hand to saw wood. —Among the number of good citizens who called this week and renewed their subscription.to the {tuFtißucan was ex-Sheriff Daugherty. —Observe the change in Mr. Leopold's big advertisement on the Opposite page. The secret of liift success is good goods, low prices and liberal advertising. —Why go to Kansas when you can buy better lands just as cheap In -Jasper county, where you have the advantages of Ace schools,.churches and society? * ..

—This towo and county seems to possess an unusual number of persons with strange or peculiar names, and We take pleasure In adding ours to the list. —Subject for next Sabbath morning discourse at the M. E. church—- “ Christ’s Gracious Favor to Men.” In the evening—“ The Excellency of the Knowledge of Christ.” —We adveitisetbe “Places of Holding Elections'’ because the law requires that such legal notices shall appear in the paper having The largest circulation within the county. , |, c —Our fine new Opera House now in course of construction will be completed about the holidays. It will be in order to get theatrical company for the grand opening. —David L. Bishop, attorney at law at Kentland, in company with-Law-yer Wright, of this plaoe, gave us a brief call Tuesday afternoon. Bishop iB a fine looking gentleman and doubtless a substantial limb of the law. —This being court week several lawyers from onr neighboring towns have honored us with a call. Among the number was B W. Bnyder, of Remington, who is a zealous disciple c.f Black tone and a reliable Black Republican.

—We purpose giving up what advertising space we may have to spare to home advertisers only. Foreign advertisements will not appear in the Republican at any time and no patent medicine vender need apply. —We have not had time to hear him, but are credibly Informed that 1 the series of sermons preached this week hyßld. N. F. Ravil n,of Chicago, at the Christian church, in this place, are exceedingly interesting, and attract a large congregation each evening. —The lecture by Prof. J. W. McNeal, at the M. E. church Monday evening, on “ An IH-fated ship ” and “Three years in Congo, Africa,” was well attended. The Prof, sang several Negro songs, which caused considerable amusement- His effort was well received.

—Frequently the night train from the South is an hour or two late, which is not very satisfactory to the citizens of this place who are compelled to wait for their mail matter until the following morning. We hope this diflficulty will be overcome as speedily as possible. —Look out for the red mark on the margin or wrapper of your poper. It means your time is out and the paper will be promptly renewed. We purpose publishing a good paper,, and in order to do so the subscription must be paid in adv&nee, the same as city papers. * Adoniram Mcßride and James W. Pyle, accompanied by Miss Emms Mcßride aud Miss Mary E. Pyle, of near Rochester, Ind., were here during Saturday, Sabbath and Monday, visiting the family of Mr. Ezra Clark and other friends. During their stay Mrs- Clark received sad news from her sister,Miss Mary Osborn, at White Hall, Mich., who is not expected to live many days more. —What this place needs most, at present, is a number of houses to rent Every day inquiry is made for houses, and it is doubtless true that twenty new dwellings would add at least sev-enty-five persons to the population of the town. Business men should talk up this matter, and by proper effort the desired end could be secured. —William Murphy, Esq., of Lafayette, is here with a full corps of expert workmen engaged in plastering the elegant Thompson residence, on the west side of the river. Mr. Murphy holds the honorable position of councilman from the first ward In the Star City, to whicli he Was recently elected by a handsome majority. He is a responsible contractor and a clever gentlemau. —Tt is A pity a regular grade for sidewalks has not been established on Washington street ere this. So far every property owner has constructed a walk in front of hie building to suit his convenience, but In time the town council will be required to make a survey and establish a regular grade, and those which are too high must come down, and those too low will be raised.

—The temperance meeting at the court house, Friday evening, was reasonably well attended, and the indications are that it had au influence for good. Such weekly gatherings go far toward supporting a popular element in society and informing the masses of the enormity of the sfn of intemperance and the certain destruction of those who engage in It, If individuals would be made to recognize the future con sequences of present transgressions* many men might be saved from moral and financial ruin, and the terror of a drunkard's grave-

Shall Indiana be Redeemed?

, [lndianapolis Journal.) The result of the great political contest of next year is likely to turn upon Indiana. The Republicans were victorious in 1876 after loosing Indiana because they carried three Southern States, bnt the probabilities of their carrying a single Southern State next year aye very slim. Republicanism is pretty thoroughly suppressed in overy Southern State, and while several pf them have a majority of Republican voters, they have been so tboffieghly bulldozed that it is not at all likely they conld be ral- ! lied and organised so as to carry one of these States in the election of next year without an immense 16ss ot life. TII3 Republicans may succeed against a solid Sooth and Indiana/added, bnt in that oase they must carry Jwew York, and it is a fact that Mr. Tilden bas never failed to carry the city of jfew York by whatever majority he found necessary to overcome tbe Republican majority in tbe balance of the State, whenever he baa been a

candidate ancTused she money required for (Mst jfreshlentkil election i« to turn solely upon the qw*k»ou *f. the extent of the majority the JfefllkocrAU can coant up *in the city of Near York, the chances of Republican victory may tie eel down «rgtcw>my. If the'Democfatsckrrf and tlie solid South ’ they cannot wiu without Indiana, The question for the Republicans ci Indian* to consider, and cousider now, is whether they will carry the State, in the great eoutesl uettt year or allow it to go by default as they did in IBYB. If we propose to carry, the State, now is the time to commence ttye work! If the work is comtnericed liow with a determination to bn done, liepuhltcaiisrdo uot wish to enter.into a can vast how among themselves lor the the nominations of the He convention. Siitfh 'canvass Is prtMttatnrC'at this time, and caniesultiu uo good.. \Vhat we \y*Rl now ia; organization ,for the distribution of Republican newspapers. Let the State be filled with them. Let no Republican, no Independent, no lnkewarm Democrat, be without a llep<ibJici»n newspaper in his house, from now until the presidential election. If the Republicans in the various-comities will see to this: they wili win the battle. The Republicans are in the right upon the issues, and are therefore more largely interested in disseminating the tr.uih. There is uo man whose vote tnay not be influenced if he can be induced to read —not long speeches, not congressional debates, but the weekly papers, Where the comments are put rn short, pnrigent sentence?, and so mixed with Other news as to make their reading a mater of pleasure. The work of placing a Republican newspaper in the hands of every doubtful voter in each county in the State is not a laborious nor an expensive work. If it is undertaken systematically by a few men in each township the whole work may be accomplished during the month of November. The best papers in the country may now be secured in quantity tor about f 1.00 per year, and it will be all the better if each man can be induced to advance the dollar and make the subscription himself. If he is not able to do so, then a general fund should be raised among the Repub- ■ Means in the township who are able to pay, and the paper subscribed for in lids name and sent to'him until after th? election. , ,If a Democrat is one from intei*--est and prejudice, and has been one for life, amt will not read, then no money need be wasted on him. Ho belongs to that class we have tb heat.* There are but few men in the State, however, who really pride themselves on their ignorance aud the fact they never read, and there are few who eare to be associated with that class. The Republicans in the counties throughout the State are too much in the habit of waiting for the action of the State Central Committee and ot leading Republicans at the capital. They are also too much inclined to depend on the county committees, who do not warm up until the canvass is opened. This should not be. This article will be read by from thirty to fifty thousand Republicans in tho State, and each one ot them should make it a point to go to work himself and sea that the work in his township is done. We | do not propose to cast any reflec tions, or make any criticisms on the former canvasses in the State. We believe the Republican* ot Indiana have failed to prepare for war in time of peace, that have attempted to do the work of years in three or for months, that they have depended too much, on big, expensive meetings, and not enough on the quiet fireside reading. They depended too much on everything being planned at and radiating from the capital. Let us tty a change. Let the work begin in the counties,.and let the Repul/licans t in every part of the State, work in harmony tvr the next ninety d.iysiti their efforts to plant the seed, to get Republican newspapers in circulation. Let each choose for himself what paper he, would take, but let none fail to .take a paper that is sound and reliably Republican. The county,‘papers should be first maintained, aud made as sound and aggressive as possible. If they are in tiie bands of soreheads and grumblers, then the sooner they can be let die a natural death the better, but where they are soundly Republican and in sympathy with the Republican workers of the county, they should receive the first consideration. If the Republican press throughout the State will take up this subject and continue to press it npon the people, the work may be pot in motion at once.
