Clippings from our Exchanges.

Inter-Ocean: The recent elections do not in the least daunt the warlike General Butler; he stands bravely behind the breastworks of five political nominations, and keeps that left eye on the half cock for any emergency. Carrie I. Judd, a young lady of Buffalo, who has suffered with an affection of the spine, and who was so reduced that she could not help herself in any wqy, uor bear the slightest noise or touch, owing to the extreme sensibility of her spinal nerve, has, as she alleges, been entirely cured through the power of prayer and faith. Monticello Democrat: Ronssel-i aer contains 1,200 inhabitants. 'A f three story brick hotel, two established banking bpusesanda third to be opened, three newspapers, a fine opera house in process of erectibn, a first-clas6 graded public school, dry goods stores, grocery stores, clothing stores, drug stores, etc.

Lnporte Chronicle: The next President of these United States will be John Sherman, of Ohio. We do not claim to be a prophet, or the son a prophet, but we coll the attention of onr readers to this prediction. The Chronicle therefore hereby formally nominates John Sherman for President.

Winamac Republican: The railroad company is paying all their employes in gold this month. It makes tho Democratic whangdoodlers mad. They have declared that the gold was for the bondholder and that,the laboring men could not get it, and now when they see the honest son of toil counting ns many gold dollars for a month’s work as he would if paid greenbacks, national bank botes or silver, they fell like selling themselves for soap grease. . ; Rochester Republican: Our cit izenso all experienced a painful ■hock, and felt a thrill of syntpa-

To be thns bereaved in the midst of strangers adds an additional pang to the blow, bat the wound itself mast completely stunned themouising fzroily. We can only tender tfiemtbe sympatby of lliis entire comtitWt/Hi-tMf affliction. Enterprise is always sure to reap its reward sooner or later. There is Switzerland, for example. It is the smallest country in Europe, and yet it has the biggest mountains. While other countries were squabbling about increased territory Switzer!sad stuck to real estate, which it rightly consided the highest in the market. This summer over 1,400,000 strangers visited the Alps, and a handsome sum was taken in by the little country in consequence. This visitation exceeds that of any other year, and it is to be hoped that the increased patronage will induce the Swiss to fix up the Alps with all modern improvements end see that no expense is spared to merit a continuance, etc., etc.

‘ Monticello Democrat: Indiana has lest one of her noblest sons. General Lazarus Noble died in Colorado, Monday, the 2fith inst. lie was born at Brookville, this State, about 1824, making him 54 or 55 years ot age. His father was Thomas Noble, a brother of Noah Noble, for several years governor of the State of Indiana. General Noble received only a common school education, and at an early period of his youth moved to Wayne county, and entered the clerk’s office as deputy. After serving in this capacity for several years, he removed to Cincinnati and became a partner in the wholesale firm of Bowler, Swift <fc Co., where he remained until JBSB, going from there to the new settlement of Council Blufts, lowa, where ho entered the real estate speculations. From Council Bluffs he ~removed to Vinoinnes in i 860; was admitted to the practlbe ot law and entered into the real estate business. While ho resided at Richmond, in Wayne county, he made the acquaintance of the late Senator Morton. Between the two a life-long friendship sprang up, and in 1801, at the breaking oat of the war, Gov. Morton, recognizing the superior executive abilities of his friend, appointed him to the responsible and exacting position -of adjutant general. Throughout the war he was Gov. Morton’s right hand man. Ilis services in behalf of the Union were those of a patriot and a soldier, and Gov. Morton al ways referred to his adjutant with just and becoming pride. In 1864 ho was elected to the clerkship of the Superior Court, which position he held for feur years, until 1868, when he returnud to his home in Vincennes. From that time forward until his visit to Colorado, in the spring of this year, he has been identified with the leading enterprises of Vincennes. Daring the war the writer frequently had close business relations with Gen. Noble concerning the organizing of regiments, recruiting, etc., and always found him to be a kind, courteous f gentleman. Like our great war governor, ho always treated the humblest soldier as kindly aa he did the highest, and in this, exhibited a trait only found in men who have many attributes of greatness within them. Peace to his ashes.
