THE REPUBLICAN.

Dr. and Mrs. 8. 0. Fenton, of Fine Village, visited with Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, of this city, during holidays. ' v ' Ben Morgan, after a four or five months’ wrestle with the rheumatism, is once more at his old post in the barber-shop. Mrs. Frank W. Babcock is visiting friends in Toledo, Ohio, where she went last week after a brief visit in Fort Wayne. -- mm m m ■ ■ The Circuit Court will be adjourned next week, Judge Hammond going to Lafayette to hear an important case in Judge Vinton’s court.

L. 0. Grant, J. J. Waterbury, William Pierce, and Perry Lewis .attended the public dedication of the Odd Fellows Hall, at Bradford, last week. | George and Simon Walton of Sumner county, Kansas, are Visiting relatives here. They speak well of Kansas and pronounce prohibition a success. Mr. E. W. Morris, of Jordan, dropped in to see us the other day. Mr. Morris that he has been, ** laid by the heels” by rheumatism for three or four months. Mr. E. P. Honan has struck a good job as a boss in the yards of the Northwestern railroad in Chicago. We are glad to hear it as Ed. is a good fellow as well as a notable “masher.” A professional gambler was in town for a few days lately. The .Rensselaer “boys ” were “no where” in playing with him, and it did not take them a great while to find it out either; but quite a number of them paid a few dollars for the knowledge, all the same.

“The matrimonial market has not been very lively lately. Licenses to marry have been issued to the following persons since our last reports: Wallace Robinson and Lilly A. Burk; Chas, W. Hames and Isabel C. Thompson; Amos Cadwallader and Mary A. Turner. R. S. Dwiggins will lecture at the Christian church next Sunday morning, on the subject—“Ther? i« but one Lord, one Faith and one Baptism; why are there so many creeds extant in the woyld?” “ Who is responsible for the existence of the creeds, the clergy or the laity?” Rose Lawn has a post-office, and is bound to make a town. We only wish that it were within the limits of Jasper county, where it rightfully belongs. In fact it would be an ■excellent thing for the people of Rose LaWn and of Lincoln township generally, if that township could be taken from Newton and given to Jasper.

Marshal .Chas. Platt' came near going to his long home one day last week. While working in the large ditch near the railroad, an old wonnd received in the army, in some manner broke open, and he bled nearly to death before medical aid could reach him. The physician who attended him is of the epinion that he must have lost not less than a gallon of blood. He is now able to be out again but is very weak. H. W. Snyder, of Remington, was In town this week looking after his legal business in the circuit court. “Harp” is an able lawyer, and a right good fellow—what there is of bin, —and there is plenty of him if you take him in the right way. He reports that Remington is very prosperous, this winter; and that nothing but the bad roads have prevented her from having a regular “boom”. All of which we are heartily glad to hear.

The Circuit Cou It.

The regular January term of* the Circuit Court opened Monday with an unusually light docket. There was no business for a grandjury* and none was summoned. Ephriam Fleming and Harvey Stahl plead guilty to the charge, of intoxcation in a public place, and were each fined one dollar and costs—especially the costs! Joseph and Abram Sparling were tried on the charge of malicious trespass but were found not guilty. • Ihe case of Schneider vs. Hamar was decided in favor of the plaintiff.

Ask for them when at the pdst-office for mail. Hob ace E. James. Buckwheat Floor at Starr a.

Mason Long.

An honest, but rough-spoken citizen looked at the large postrait in Sears & Son’s show window, and after .reading aloud the legend: “Mason Long, the- gambler,” remarked in tones that evidently came from his heart, or some other vital organ, “converted! h—l, he’ll gamble as long as he lives, —longer too if he gets a chance.” An opinion in which the honest citzen was by no means singular, as experience has made the people rather skeptical on the subject of “ refbrmed ” reformers; but we do not believe that anyone could meet Mr. Long face to face, or hear him relate in his simple but v ery earnest and affecting manner, the story of his life and reformation without being convinced of his sincerity. Mr. Long gave three lectures—Saturday evening at the Court-house and Sunday afternoon and evening at the opera-house. He does not confine himself exclusively to the evils of intemperance but gives considerable attention to gambling and other social evils. We have seldom listened to a speaker who better held the attention of his audience, there was no out-break of deafening applause, but there was something more flattering to the speaker, an intense eagerness to hear every word of the lectures. His manner of speaking reminds one very strongly of the great evangelist, Moody. The ranting, stamping, shouting style common to the one million nine hundred thousand spouters at in America to day, finds no imitator in Mason Long. Although he is working under the auspices of the State tempeiance societies, he is obliged to pay his own expenses. While in Rensselaer he tried, for the first time, the plan of charging a small admittance fee for the last of the three lectures. Financially the plan was a success, but Mr. Long afterwarus stated that it made him feel so much as if he were running a minsti el show that he didn’t believe the experiment will bear repitition.

Mr. Robert McNegly, Hagerstown, Md., writes; “ I was reduced to a living skeleton by distressful ailments that completly exhausted me of all vitality. All the organs of my body: lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, sight, hearing, brain, nerves, etc., were in disorder, and each gave me trouble in a greater or less degree. I doctored for kidney complaint; I doctored for dyspepsia; I took consumption cures; 1 did every thing in my vain efforts to finti relief. Mr. Wells, clerking in Morris’ drug store, told* me to try Brown’s Iron Bitters. Two bottles have made me feel like a new person altogether, and I believe 1 am permanently cured of all my distress. I weigh twenty-four pounds more now than I did a month ago.” i) For Colds, Coughs, Bronchitis and all affections of the Lungs, take Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Special Announcement.— We are requested to announce tint the large clothing store and merchant tailoring establishment of E. Brown & Co., will hereafter be undei the direct supervision of Mr. Chas. Lyon, lately of Djglphi. Mr. Lyon lias had much experience in his line of business,and comes among us very highly recommended both as to private character and bus ness ability.

Vaccination Vituperation.

The vaccination epidemic raged laFt week with unprecedented violence. Up to Monday night of this week Dr. Link had vaccinated 150 persons, not including revaccinations. Drs. Loughridge and Bitters about 200, including some revaccinations. Dr. Washburn has turned off about the some number. Dr. Martin, too, has been getting m his work in the same line; but to what extent we have not learned. The action of the state board of health in the matter of vaccinations has made a harvest for the medicine men. Wish we could have been a doctor or two for the last couple of weeks. Our devil says: “Doc was roughem with me.” “Guess he knew he wasn’t goin to git any fay for it, and didn’t give a . was a good notion to tell him not to hurt so like aud I would

pay him the money for the job,” Joe Sharp believes that the state board should have required the photograph of the vaccinee to be attached to the certificate of vaccination, to prevent people from sailing under some other person’s certificate—and to enable the photographers to gather in a few loose sliekles now and again. The board evidently thought “not for Joseph.” D. J. Thompson thinks the law has as much right to order him to take a dose of arsenic as it has to compel him to be vaccinated. He believes that vaooination does not prevent small-pox, and is a worse evil than the latter, even if it did. On the other extreme of opinion, on this subject, we take the liberty of citing Dr. Link, who believes that within a few years people will be vaccinated against just about .every ill that flesh is heir to—not excepting off-temper-ed wives and the “jim-jams.”

Mason Long did give the ''boys” a terrible blast on the subject of profanity, and summed it all up in somo such shape as this: The worst people in the world will think no better of you for swearing, while yourself, and nil good people, will think a great deal the worse of you for it. The arguments to refute Mr Long in this position, do not occur to us just at present,’ and we will take refuge in a little anecdote. A Scotch minister had rei lonstraOft ** ted with an -old woman of his parish for permitting her son to punish his language with a great many pjrofane words. After listening patiently to a long-winded “discoorse” on the evils of swearing, and the fearful retribution sure to overtake those who indulge in it, the old lady remarked: “a’ weel doctor there is na doot but sweering is a vera bad habit, but still you maun alloo that an aith or twa/noo/and then does set off conversation michtily.”
