RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, NOVEMBER 24, 1881.

The Guiteau trial was enlivened Saturday by an attempt made upon j the life of the assassin. Two pistol shots were fired at him by a . man on horse-back as he was being [ taken fr m the court-house back to the jail. The only result was a slight flesh-wound on Guiteau’s arm. A man by the name of A 5 m. Jones, supposed to be the one who fired the shot, was arrested and is now in jail, __ The prosecution rested their i case Monday, upon which Robinson assistant counsel for the defense. was relieved from further connection with the trial.

President Arthur. Previous to the shooting of Garfield Mr. Arthur was, in many respeets, an untried man; and his assu option df the vast powers and responsibilities, of th*'presidency was an event naturally contemplated with solicitude; but from the first hour of Garfield’s long drawn agony, every act, and word of Arthur’s has been watched with jealous interest. Yet in no respect has he failed to show himself qualified to discharge the duties of his high position with honor to himself, aud advantage to the nation. Like his lamented predecessor, w r e believe he will be president of the nation, not of a party; and leader of a party, not of a faction.

In many of the larger towns of this State h. scheme of obtaining money from the verdant is to get them to invest in Marriage Benefit Asociations. Shares are from S 3 to S 5 each, and from S2OO to S3OO per share is promised at marriage. The assessments on each marriage soon eat up the chances of tlie ultimate . benefit —and the investor resigns his shares, which then go to the enterprising managers. .The State authorities are seriously con side rering- the adoption of repressive measures against-theso swindling associations. J The next House of Representative will consist of ld-3 sti aight Republicans, 136 cratseightGroenbackers, two Readjusters, and one independent Republican. It is believed that five of the greenbackers, the two Readjusters, and the independent Republican will vote with the Republicans.

Meadow Lake Church, White County, Ind., Nov? 17. Messrs. Editors : —ln compliance with your request, I send you this letter. 1 returned from Ohio to-day, and as next Sabbath is my regular day here, we will remain till next week. Those who live in town and who are not forced to navigate the mud, do not realize the hardships of travel, nor properly sympuinize with the trials of farm life. A farmer told me that boots of an ordinary length are too short at one end to ford the mud, and he therefore purchased a pair of long rubber boots, ami with tlie addition of much physical strength he expects to sail through the sea of mud. lhe farmers are enduring great discomforts, and much extra work to gather their corn. Twelve or iifteen bimLels make a heavy load for two horses.

ilie Ladies’ .Alissionary Society of tile ALea-dow Lake church ha t a hciigiittul inerting ihurtsday, the j< tn inst., at the residence ui Air. lie-try Downing, liiemeeiu g xvas called to order by the pre c iu,ent, Airs. b. G. Sniuer. .alter me business meeting was concluded we were favored with an excellent dinner which the ladies had biuugnt in their well-idled baskets, and you may be sure tiie lords of creation were not absent when they knew t. ere would I e plenty of g x>a t..iugs to etit, and if we aid not the ladies in Christian zeal and charity for missions we were able to vie with them at diimerand prove our genuine interest in canning the provisions. In spite of bad roans, therJ were more than thirty present, and having spent an hour and a halt after dinner in delightful social converse, we returned to our homes, after resolving to held a similar, and the next regular meeting of the society with Air. and Mrs. James B. Coke, sen. This was on y a sample of the regular meetings of this ladies’ missionary society, ami such meetings are certainly productive of great good to both the interests of the impious and the real good, and the upbuilding of the home church. 1 lease state to your readers that ti er will be communion service at the Presbyterian church, Sabbatb, November 27th. Preparatory services, Wednesday aud Friday evenings, and Saturday at 2 o’clock p. m., proceeding the Sabbath. . I am, gentleman, with great respect, yours the same as ever.

Newton Jackson,of Logansport,is visiting his cousins, the Purcupile boys, and working in the interest of the Equitable Man-iage Benefit Association of that city. M. E. Baylor is again smiling on his old friends across the counters of A. Leopold. Isaac J. Porter has a little Porter at his house who will vote the straight Republican ticket 21 years hence. A new floor was put down in the Auditor’s office, and the occupants now step high. J. P. Warner is making some very' substantial improvements on his home property, on front street. The roads are in a deplorable condition and the only way to keep them passable is for tlie good people to donate work to repair the w r orst places until we have some Toad officials elected next spring. The Rensselaer schopls are progressing well so far this year. Bennie Fendig is tlie best pupil in his grade. Several of those who rather play than study have been “demoted” instead of promoted. Miss Alice McDonald was teaching the Independence school, in Barkley township. Tlie school house caught fire and the fright prostrated her so that she is now sick and will probably have to give up tlie school. They have a bit of a sensiticn up in Walker township. The report is that a well-known and highly respected citizen butchered some hogs one day last week, and left them out over night to cool, and the next morning one of them was gone. Two or three days after the same man killed a beef aud left a part of it out an I watched it. Well along in the night the beef started off and somebody fired a gun at it, and they discovered that there wa a man under it, and that several buck-shot had struck him. The latest report is that he i>F'in a very critical condi ion. C

Cjld weather is on hand (and foot). It has rained a good share of the time enuring the past forty days and nights. Two cubits upwards did the waters prevail and the marshes were covered. The north end of the township presents a continuous lake of water from “Dan to Beershe* ba.” The roads are almost impassable. Farmers have not finished husking corn. Fall pasture is exceedingly good. Mr. Geo. Grow, of Kansas, has been visiting friends in this township during the past week. Mr. VanAmburgh is on the sick list. / Mrs. Isaac Alter, whY has been afflicted for several years, with lung disease, is very poorly. Mrs. John McColly is still very sick. Mr. Wolf’s little daughter, whose leg was cut off with the mowing machine, last summer, is doing well under the ca p *' of Dr. T o ighr dge. There is but little doubt now c.f a speedy recovery, whi h is almost a miracle in our midst.

Our scho )ls have begun. The first institute was held at the Shields school house on the 18th. The-next will be held at the RoseBud school house on Dec. 17th. The teachers are stationed as folio s: Sadie McDonald, at Rose-* J Bud ; Jas. Brusnahan,Brusnahan’s; Jno. Alter, Brushwood; Miss C ons Swaim’s- Jennie Gant, Gant’s ; Ta id Shie’ds, Shields’; •>as.

Kidney Disease Cared.

CHItIKTIAXABVXO, Va., 1881. . Suffering from kidney di<e»s>-, from which 1 could get no relief either from medicine or the'prominent physiciansot oiir country, I-tried Browu’s iron Bitters which cured me completely. A chill of mine recovering from -cnrlet fi-ver, had no appetite and did not seem to be able t<> eat at all; I gave him iron Bitt/ra happiest results. J Kylx Montagu ■ Double Wedding.—Married, at the residence of the brides’ parents, in Hanging Grove township, on Thursday, Nov. 17th, 1881, the Rev. F. B. Ferguson officiating, Mr. William Bull to Miss My ram English, and Mr. Jacob Parker to Miss Etna English. There was quite a number of friends present, and a happy time was had. The Republican wishes them bon voyage. The brides are the daughters of Mi. and Mrs. Stacey English.

“Men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil,” but the patient, enduring mother, when she sits down these long' evenings to darn father’s socks, mend Johnny’s trowsers, sew buttons on the shirts, and make fing-er-stalls for all the corn huskers, would prefer one of those beautiful lamps at Tharp’s, to dispel the darkness, iu preference to the old, smoky lard lamps.

Anatomy and Physiology.

BY I. B. WARHBURN.

In my last the types madn me say there wer«- 206 bones including the teeth. It shonld have be-*n excluding the teeth, and some irregular forniatians, termed bones by sume. Those who use Wqson’x Auatomy may say there are 246 bones, but that is not correct according to later authorities. The skeleton is divined into the spinal column or back bone, the skull, thorax, pelvis, a,nd the superior anl inferior extrem. ilies. The spine is a flexuous column formed of twenty-six bones termed vertebrae; it supports the head aud protects the spinal cord. , . . The skull is divided the /uranium and face. lhe cranium is composed o eight bones forming a cavity Inclosing the b;an, The face is composed of fourteen bones. "v. The thorax or ch«st is Hre largest cavity n 1 ceutains toe pi inc pal organs of respiration, and circulation, the lungs, heart, and portions of the larger blood vessels. The pelvis is the cavity foimed by four bones. It is situated jit the lower portion of the spine, which it supports, .and protects organs of importance ’.o the human economy. The counecti -ns of the bonei at various paints are called articulations or.joints. The joints are termed immoveable when the margins of the bo tic J are closely connected together, as fii the cranium, and do not admit of motion. In movable joints the exti•.nines ot the bones are generally enarged aud covered Ly a firm, elastic, and flexible substance called cartilage. The oinrs are bel t together by string bands of fibrous tissue called ligaments, and lined bv a membrane which secretes a fluid callsynovia or joint-water. In dislocations of joints the injury is almost invariably that of the ligiaxmts, some of which are torn apart or from their at iiciiments ro the bones.

The same is true in sprains, and as the ligameuta are uot so well supplied with blood vessels, as the bones, their restoration is very slow, and in many persons the injury is permanent. The ankle joints are the most liable to sprain. it requires more time for a dislocated, or severely sprained ankle to recover than lor a broken boue. Perf-ci q-net is the best treatment for su h injiuies, thus gning nutuiean opportunity t > heal i lie injure I tissues. The preeminent success of Campbell & Farden lies in the facts of their representing goods just as they are, treating all customers alike, and selling on a reasonable margin. Try them and be convinced of the truth of the above statements.

Parties living in the northern ends of Newton and Jasper counties will find it to their advantage o call on usbefore purchasing th«.r Fall goods, as Mr. Keller, our Chicago buyer, has charge of the buying for five houses, which enables him to buy in large quantities, thereby securing the lowest figures, which ’accounts for our selling goods lower than other dealers. Highest price for all kinds of produce. Give us a call.
