The bill to repeal the State Board of Health law was indefinitly postponed. Seiiator Keiser’s bill establishing the new judicial circuit No. 44, composed of Stark and Pulaski counties, was passed last week. The Rochester Sentinel has made the discovery, from within its inner consciousness, of course, that an effort is to be made to change the name of DeMotte, the Village in this county. The regular March term of the Commissioners Court next Monday, March sth. Among the most important matters to come before the Board this term will be the appointment of a Superintendent of the Poor harm; and rebuilding the bridges destroyed by the high waters. The Winamac papers seem to be a law unto themselves so far as the use of the English language is concerned. The “Democrat” in speaking of the floods says in its headlines that “The wateis are gradually reclining.” Reclining means to lean backwards or side., ways. Which of the two ways the Winamac waters lean the Democrat does not condescend to state. The Republican of the same town remarks that a certain little boy “is still precarious with brain fever.” A disease, by the # way, which it is physiologically impossible for the person who used “precarious” in that construction ever to be afflicted with.

“Low Lived Literature.”

Monro, the publisher of the | yellow-backed novels, has endowed three tutorships in a Halifax college.—New Carlisle Gazette. And now he should be forced to appropriate his spare change toward j 'urchasing fire-escapes from hades. Lagrange Democrat. Correct. George Monro has pre pared enough souls for residence in that imaginary sphere by his low trashy publications, to require ten times his ill gotten wealth to redeem. —Warsaw Herald. Now look here, brethren, you are letting your anxiety to. say something smart, lead yon into folly and injustice. To George Monro, more than any other liv-‘ ing man, is due the honor of proving that good novels can be published as cheaply as bad ones. Take up a number of the “Sea Side Library,” the publication by which George Monro has gained his shekles, md you will find that the list of authors whose works are published in that series, includes the names of all the eminent European novel writers of two generations. “Low trashy publications’’! Great Scott! and Oh, the Dickens! George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Walter Scott,Thackeray,the Bronte sisters, Jane Austin, Victor lingo, Charles Kingsley, Jane Porter, Bernardino St. Pierre, Dinah Mulock, Are those the kind of people who write “low trashy publications,’? Brethren, yon make us tired. It will be noticed that services are announced in two of the churches on next Saturday evening, the night of the G. A. IL, “Camp l ire.” The members of the Post Lave taken a great deal of pains m preparing for their entertainment, and in their interest we suggest the postponing the proposed church services of that evening.

The Indiana Legislature.

Plain talk from oar Exchanges. No Better than a Slum. Logansport Journal. With the beast Heffren bellowing in the House, and the brute, Brown buckin" snd bloviating as a boss in the Senate, the General Assembly is little better thana slum. No Occasion tor Surprise. Richmond Palladium. When the control of the commonwealth was turned over to a ty controlled and owned by the liquor interest, we should not be surprised to find saloon morals and saloon billingsgate even in the State Senate, Hoosier Democracy is, indeed, a thing without a rival for its vileness and audacity as Brown in the Senate and the rebel Lieutenant-general Heffren in the House. ” The Legislature Has No Parallel. Lafayette Courier. The record made by tliis Democratic Legislature has no parallel in pure cussedness since the aid and comfort Legislatuie of the war. Horace Heffren leader of the House and J ason Brown leader of the Senate! Ye gods, was there ever such a pair and such a party? The Buffoonery in the Senate. Shelbyville Republican. First the Senate bounced Kirk, its door keeper. Then it bounced •the secretary, and its second doorkeeper and reinstated its first doorkeeper, and elected C. T. Nixon, a Republican, as clerk. Then it bounced Mr. Nixon and reelected its first clerk, so that it now has its original clerk and doorkeeper. Beautiful work for honorable senators. The Bay ot Vensean ce Approaching*. Richmond Palladium. The State charities are raped to gratify a partisan desire for office. Such a measure was legitimately born in the foul brain of such a man as Jason Brown and properly championed by Horace Heffren, but the day of popular vengeance is approaching.

Judge Gould has been subjected to some unfavorable criticisim on account of his ruling to admit common rumor as to unchaste or adulterous acts anterior to the words spoken upon which the plaintiff’s claim foi damages is based. The criticism is entirely undeserving. The ruling is in strict accordance, not only with the principles of law but of justice as well. Mrs. Gougar is seeking to mulct the defendant in a large sum of money, on account of damage alleged to have been done to her reputation by certain words spoken by the defendant. Now by every principal of law, J 1 justice, and of common sense, the defendant has a right to show whether Mrs. Gougar’s reputation is of such a character as to be susceptible of being damaged to the extent of SIO,OOO or to any. extent at all. In what way possible * could a jury be able to assess the damage done to a reputation unless they are permitted to know what that reputation is? M.UWHE.IX— Feb., 24th, 1883, at the residence of Mr. Levi Hodge in Union tp., Mr. Stephen B. Coen and Miss Alda Fulton, by Elder A. E. Pierson. Quite a number of Miss Ful- ■ ton s scholars were present, (she ■ being a teacher) and did justice to 'an excellent dinner prepared for the occasion by Mrs. Hodge, who knows by the way just how to get up a good dinner. Though the day without was dreary the occasion was made joyous by the cheerful conversations of Mr. and Mr. Coen. The Elder’s heart was made luminous by receiving a greenback bill of liberal dimensions. I Mat joy, peace and prosperity attend the youthful pair though [life. /' I One VVho was there.

Church Matters.

The Rev. J. J. Claypool has made a slight change in his out of town appointments. Next Sunday, March 4th, he will preach at Sayler’s school house, at 2.30 p. m. The following Sunday, March 11th, services at the Watson school house at 10/30 a. m. The Rev. A. Tajdor, the presbyterian home missionary, passed Sunday with his family in Rensselaer, and preached at the Presbyterian church morning and evening. Subjects: Morning, “Clinging to Christ.” * Evening, “The Antidote to Fear,” The Presbyterian Sabbath school te held at 2:30 p. m. The superintendent reports an average attendance of about 60, nnd a oetter interest than at any previous time for years. The Rev. G. Small, of Idaville, will hold a senes of meetings at the Presbyterian church, commencing Friday evening at 7 o’clock, and continue over Sabbath. The precarious condition of Mr. Claypool’s health has compelled him to curtail his labors to some extent. Hereafter, until furthur notice, the Sunday morning services at the M. E. Church will consist of preaching one Sunday alternating with a social meeting the following week. The evening meetings will continue as heretofore with preaching every week. Regular ser rices with preaching next Sunday morning. Later: —As will be seen from notice elsewhere published the Rev. Gilbert De La Matyr will preach at the M. E. Church at both morning and evening services next Sunday. Elder D. T. Halstead pastor of the Christian church, has been enduring poor health for some time past, but has improved considerably lately we are happy to say.

Carpenter Township.

Times dull. Farmers doing, notheing. Wheat considerably winter killed There are three good literary societies in Western Carpenter one at No. 4 one at No. 6, and at No. 7. W. S. Hubbard, John Hunkin Elmer Suoddy, and many others are becoming noted spouters on debate. , Mrs. B. R. Moffitt is very sick. Mrs. L. 8. is just recovering from an abscess of the breast. Many of our old neighbors are leaving this Bpring; Rank’sJamily, Ed. Bartley and, others leave us, hut we hope good men will come in their place. Lewis and Lacy Alter have bought the Van Vleet Nursery, and now have about 10,000 apple trees more than they want for their own use. We have had our due proportion of storms but no serious losses. *■ * *

Obituary.

For the Minerva J. Kirk was born Nov. 20th 1828 in Wayne Co., Ind., near Richmond. Her Maiden name was Kersey. Her parents, one of whom still lives, together with brothers and three sisters, were quakers; and all her early associations-were among that sect She was a student at their educational institution know as Spiceland Academy, and afterwards became a teacher there. At the age of seventeen she removed with her parents to Porter county where for five years she engaged in teaching, and many of her earlier pupils have risen to distinction. She was married at the age of 22, about which time she united with the M. E. Church.“ She was the devoted and tender mother of nine children, two of whom died in early life. Her devotion to her children was one of her strongest characteristics, being only equalled by her dependence on Christ for her strength. Her life,,to ,ihe Christian observer, was a complete and grand success. She dies mourned by all who knew her, and her children, at least, will cherish her virtues and example and make every effort to meet her in “that home where the wicked do not trouble and her weary soul finds r&&” Sleep on, dearest Mother, sleep.

Died. —The venerable Jonathan Potts of Union tp., aged about 80 years, died Monday Feb 26th, of old age and general prostration. The Camp Fire: —The bills are out for the long looked for entertainment under the auspices of Rensselaer Post, G. A. B. The time and place are next Saturday evening at the Opera House, and no further postponement. The programme prepared for the oc casion furnishes a very attractive list of exercises.
