—One of our “intelligent compositors” in “setting up” “A Card,” written by Horace E. James, published in last week’s issue of the Republican, made two provoking blunders which were overlooked by the- proofreader. The word “prominent” should have been “pronounced,” and instead of “quasi-inflation” “quasi-repudia-tion” was intended. Notwithstaud. ing Mr. James occupies an enviable position in the literary and political world, be is not Bo egotistical as to write himself “prominent,” The card is republished elsewhere. —Next, Thursday will be Thanksgiving day . which ought to be recognized by every citizen of the Union, whether he is a professor of Christianity or not. The law requires all people, both saints and sinners, to obstlan from all regular business pursuits on Sabbath, and we certainly ought to honor Him who has given us fife aud bountiful crops by com me no ratios: his goodness for one day. All stores should be closed from 10 o'clock a. m. to 4 o’clock p. in. Thanksgiving services will be held at the M. E. church at 10:30, and it is hoped a goodly uumber will be in attendance. —About two weeks ago, William Kirtley, the juulor proprietor of the Kirtley House, of this place, went to Peru, his former place of residence, leaving bis friends here to suppose he was about to marry one of the fair daughters of that enterprising vil. lage- The relatives aud friends of the bride were making every needed preparation for the happy event, the surprise of all, before the hourar•rived it was made known that the marital knot had been tied by Rev. E. H. Shaw, a Michigan divine, at Sturgis, Mich., several weeks previous. > The young couple thought to play a' romantic prank and surprise the old folks, not that they were opposing the match, but for the novelty of the matter and the pleasure il might offord them. The bride’s maiden name was Amy B. Moore, daughter of Capt. aud Mrs. Henry Moore, wbo are numbered among the good, respectable citizens of Peru. Mrs. Kirtley is prepossessing iu appearance, decorous in manner, and affectionate iu disposition. We welcome this romantic couple as citizens of Rensselaer and bespeak for them a happy, prosperous life.

Tile evidence seems to be universal'that the Republican is the , best popes ever published ia Jasper county. Ws assure our readers that it will grew better as it grows older —P. Keegan, Esq., of Bunker Hill, spent Sabbath and Monday last with the editor sod fansiSy. Learning of the prosperous future Rensselaer Is likely to enjoy be came over to get the “lay of the land” and ts peseible transfer his busineas to this place. He was favorably impressed with the appearance of our town and country, and in all probility k# will be numbered among our citizens before many months. He is au upright, Christian gentleman who will do honor to any place in which be may locate. —Circumstances over which we have no control prevented our being present at the Wildburg-Tuteur wed. ding, last Sabbath afternoon, held at the residence of the bride's parents in. this place. The ceremony was pronounced by Rabbi Felsentbal. of Chicago, who is a scholarly divine and a very pleasant gentleman. The friends of the wedded pair were profuse in their gifts aud good wishes, and with such a happy, prosperous start ou their marital journey we have reason to believe they will enjoy life’s blessing iu the highest degree. —An old man whose head has been slivered over with the frosts of many winters, was observed at two o’clock one night last week occupying a low seaton the sidewalk in front 1 of the Graded School building in a uses! pitiable condition of intoxication. But he was not too drunk to talk and be poured forth a terrible lamentation respecting the present management of the schools ip Jasper county, which he observed are not conducted as they were in ‘‘our grandmother's days.” We are toid that lie wielded the gad over the backs of the Hoosier boys of this county several years ago, and still believes’he i» a “Bigger man than old Grant’* at that business. * —The theatre-going denizens of this place were well entertained at Starr’s HaH last Thursday evening by an amateur troupe in' the plays of “The Miller of Derwent Water,” and “A 5 Broken Horae, or three Glasses a Day .” To say the least each part was well presented, hut we deem it no disparagement to flic other prcfornicrs to express our admiration of tire ability exhibited by John F. Boroughs, and it is doubtless the opinion of all who have heard him that as a tragedian he deserves special mention. He is the Jasper country, and if he contiuueWo conduct himself property he will receive the applause of all appreciative audiances. —There are three long articles in this issue we would be pleased to hare every reader peruse—the editorial on “The Situation in Louisiana,” the account of the Zimmerman trial and a comunication from “* * entitled “Lessons of the Hour.” The last named was written by one of our able attorneys and is worthy of a careful reading. We call attention to these articles because we are aware of the practice many’ persons have in perusing a country newspaper of reading the short articles and omitting those of any considerable length for want of time or because they are not deemed of sufficient interest. As a rule we' shall not write long editorials except when the subject under consideration demands it, and in eueli cases they nre written after considerable.deliberation and with more than ordinarycare.

A CARD.

Editor Republican. Sir:— lu reading your excellent newspaper to-day I saw in it a paragraph credited to the People's Press , of Kentland, which says that while conducting the Rensellacr Union X “coddled the rag baby.” I infer from Uiis statement that the Press would create the impression that at one time I advocated, editorially, or personally, or both, the heresies of the Independent-Greenback party. This impression would not be true. Files of the Union and of contemporary journals of the Tenth Congressional District, together with hundreds of Intelligent persons in Jasper county and other parts of the State will bear testimony that the Union and myself.from the commencement of the discussion of the financial question, which was settled by the enforcement of the resumption laws, were constantly in the front rank of those newspapers and men who were outspoken and determined opponents of inflation and the quasi-repudiation dogmas of that mistaken and signally unfortunate political organisation. I f there is in the United States a more pronounced advocate of hard money and sound-cnrrency principles than my humble self, I have not the pleasure of knowing it Very respectfully, Hob acre.

SENT DP!

IaOM Has ani Kite Three Boas Far Stealing asd Slaughtering a Heifer, the Prep-, erty of MaeM Dewell and LewtoKern. A Lesson to Jasper County cattle Thieves that Should Be Well Remembered.

A Full Account of flow the Crime Was Committed.

Last week we promised the readers of the Republican that if possible we would give.in this issue the fail particulars of the trial of James F. Zimmerman, Thomas Zimmerman, John Zimmerman, James Zimmerman and Gilbert 1L Hurley, held before the Jasper Circuit Court, for stealing aud slaughtering a young heifer belonging to Simeon Dowell and Lewis Kem, and we shall now endeavor to fulfill that promise, believing that it will prove of general interest to every good citizen in tho county. The jury was impanneled and the trial commenced last Saturday a week, and continued (Sunday excepted) until the following Thursday evening. The jury being out but three hours returned a verdict of guilty, as to Janies F. Zimmerman and his three sons, fixing the penalty as follows: Each to be fined one dollar, confined one year in the State's prison and disfranchised for one year after their rolease. The law prescribes the punishment for offences of this kind and the jury fixed the penalty at the lowest limit. The case as to Gilbert 11. Hurley was continued until next term of court. The character of James F. Zimmerman, the lather, has not been' very good for truth and honesty, and this severe affliction that has fallen upon his hoary head is but the culmination of a life of evil habits. We feel sorry for the old man and regret that his three sons are required so soon to pay the penalty of following his evil examples. Their* aged mother and the wives and families of the married sons have the sympathy of their neighbors and the citizens of Jasper county generally. The ages of this prison ging are about as follows: Tho father, 50 years; Thomas,-25 years; John 22, and James 19. Saturday last they were taken to their homes in Barkley township, some nine miles north of this place, under tho escort of Sheriff Itobiuson and his bailiffs, to bid farewell to their sorroiwng families. It was a sad scene and a sorrowful parting, which the look-ers-on inform us they never wish to witness again. They remained heie over Sabbath, and on Monday took their departure for Michigan City, accompanied by the Sheriff. Prosecuting-Attorney Babcock deserves great credit for the zeal and ability manifested In this trial which resulted in establishing tie guilt of the parties named beyond the possibility of a doubt, notwithstanding the evidence was almost entirely circumstantial, and the able defence made by li. S. Dwiggtus and M. F. Chilcote. We copy from the memoranda the followit g STATEMENT OF FACTS: On the7th of last August, Simeon Dowell, in gathering up his cattle, missed a heifer belonging to bimself and Lewis Kern, of Rensselaer. The heifer was bright red in color, a thrifty yearling, weighing about GOO pounds, with long horns, slightly' carved, broad between the horns aud eye 6 and marked with a slit in left ear aiul the bush of the tail slightly cropped. She had been all season with the milch cows of William Daniels (who is a neighbor of Mr. Dowell), and had been up to his cow lots every night with his cows and went away with them on the morning of the 7th, the day on w hich the defendants are charged with taking and killing her. Mr. Dowell and his father continued to hunt for the heifer on her wonted range for several days, and during the time S. D. met the defendant, John Z. and his brother George on the road, and inquired of them about the heifer, giving a particular discription of her, and was told by them that they had not seen such a heifer. ' About a week from the time the heifer was last seen, Mr. William Daniels and James Snider were out hunting an ox on the same range, having a dog with them. Seeing the dog scenting something and following him they found where an animal had been butchered in a very secluded and unfrequented spot, far remote from any habitation and not in sight even of any publio road. Tho locality generally was not only secluded aud isolated but the particular spot where the heifer had been killed was about the most secluded and least likely to be seen of any place in all the surroundings. Daniels and Snider found the feet some distanco away in tho high grass, and in another direction, in a quakeuasp thicket, they found a tail

which Daniels at once recognised as the tail of Dowell’s he iter. dome careful inquiries developed the feet that tho defendants had been seen to go out in that direction with a team and gun, on the day the heifer was last seen, and return with something bulky in their wagon, and that they had from about that time been having fresh beef. Hurley, who is charged with these defendents iu the indictment, was interviewed by a friend and admitted the killing of the heifer. An affidavit was. there' noon, filed with 'Squire McColly and a warrant issued upon which the defendants were arrested and had a preliminary examination before that officer. At the time of their arrest and during some hours that elapsed before tbeir examination, they declared they had not killed any heifer. They had no opportunity to consult with Hmley, and when he was put upon the witness stand he testified to the killing of the heifer. Thereupon the elder Z. was heard to “now we’ll claim the heifer and I’ll be sworn first.” And so they did; setting up that it was “JiinV’ heifer and carefully followed the description given by Dowell ol his missing heifer. This furnishes all the clue that the State has to the theory of their defense. It must here be remarked, however, that j the State will probably also prove that the defendants told different persons that they had bought this very beef they got by killing the heifer. Another little coincidence which is an important circumstance in this case is the fact that only a little while—perhaps two or three hours or maybe not an hour befere the heifer was killed, she was seen within a few hundred yards of where she was slaughtered. A further circumstance tending strongly to prove the guilt of the defendants is the fact that when on their way homo witli the stolen beef, they were about to meet two of their neighbors on the Valparaiso road, and for no oilier perceptible reason than to avoid being seen with their booty, they turned off the road before they met the neigh, bor, made a circuit, where there was no tracks and not as good ground to travel on and came back to the road after passing the neighbor’s tcairi. Having learned from Hurley the disposition of the hide, head and intestines of theheitor, the two Dowell’s, and two other persons at their request, went in search of them, and the search resulted in finding tho hide cut in three pieces and buried in ashes at one of the Zimmerman’s, and the pouch and head thrown in water which entirely concealed them in a marsh near where the heifer was killed. The hide had been so closely trimmed and so changed by the action of the alkali iu tho ashes, that its identification could scarcely be considered reliable. But Tom Z. offered to give it up to Dowell and rather insisted on his taking it. The heifer had been killed very near a large marsh, and the head and ponch were found in water over knee deep and 2 rass about waist high, about 50 yards from where the heifer was killed, the ponch being traced by its trail thro’ 4.tbp tall grass, which was broken down by dragging it. The head, having been covered by water was in a fair state of preservation, and was readily identified by all the parties as the head of Dowell’s heifer. From this brief outlino of facts relied upon by the State for a conviction of these defendants, it has appeared to the jury that the State’s evidence consists almost entirely of circumstantial evidence. Some of these circumstances, if considered entirely alone, would perhaps have but little significance, but with al| the different links properly connected, forged and welded by witnesses, whoseliability cannot be questioned or their varaeity doubted, from a chain which reason cannot resist and by which the rational mind can be led to bnt one conclusion.
