The Ohio State election will take place on the 9th of this month. The Republicans, under the magnificent leadership of J Huge F or-. ?iker, have made a splendid campaign, and will, in all probability, carry the.state. The decrease of the public debt, during September, amounted to *14,771,229. Good enough. “The Republican party must go”-- —on in the same way it lias for about ten years, and then the country will be in good shape, financially, to put down another democratic rebellion. The re-adjustment of postmaster’s salaries, consequent upon the l educed, postage rate, lias caused a reduction in the salaries of a great many Indiana postmasters. It has not affected the salary of the Rensselaer office, which still remains at $1,200. The Fowler office is to pay $l,lOO instead of $1,200 as before. Monticello is reduced from $1,400 to $1,300, Valparaiso irom $2,500 tq. $2,200. i General elections will be . held in the following states this fall: Tuesday in October, and Mayk.nd. Massachusetts, Mi:-sissirpi, Nebraska, New J ersej’. New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, on the second Tuesday after * the first Monday in November. Of these states lowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Ohio elect Governors; the others only minor officers. Valparaiso is soon to be embellished with two new public buildings. The corner-stone of St. Paul’s CathoHo church- will be laid next Sunday, with elaborate o-re-monies. It is to be a magnified!’, structure, and erepted at. a great cost. The coriier-stone__jOf the neiv court house will he laid, with appropriate ceremonies, on' Wed; nesday. the 24th inst. - It i ; to cost $3 25,009, and, from all accounts, will be : noble building.

Prodigious Possibilities!

Rensselaer to Rise Rapidly. <» : The promoters of the Ft. Wayne, Peoria <fc Galesburg railway are not only giving a vast amount of chin-chin to the project but are also spending considerable sums of money upon surveys <fcc., and it certainly begins to look as though there were reasonable grounds to hope that the road would he built. The character of the men engaged ih the enterprise, (so far as known in this vicinity,) the money ami time which they are giving to It, the unquestionably good opening for a paying road along the proposed line, are circumstances which all combine to make its construction probable. Mr. Vanmm J. Card, the manager of the right-of-way, has been operating in this vicinity, for several days; and he states that Mr. Edwin Evans, the vice-president will be here soon. From Mr, Card we learn several facts in regard to the road, the substance qf which will now be given: The i ighi of-way has already been secured for G 5 or 70 miles. Contracts for bridging the Tippecanoe and Eel rivers, and Monon creek have been let. The Tippecanoe bridge will cost about $50,000 and the Eel river bridge, about $40,000. The road will cross the old 111 svv vlie :C. N • .• *v b, aoouta ' MIC ami a liaii Voutir of F viile. The company will ilbt -turn ■ tar aside from a straight line, for j the sake of any town, hut Ravel agreed to go to North Manchester for a bonus of $59,000. If is the intention to secure the right-of-way this fall and winter, and to have the same cleared of timber, where needed, and then to rilsh the road through to completion m s x months, next year. Of all the railroads projected! through Rensselaer, this ■ line i -seems, pre-eminently, the most; 'desirable,., Rensselaer is, perhaps, • the most important town upon the line, in the state, after it leaves Ft. Wayne, and is'the' largest, ex•opt North Manchester. We are ihnost exactly upon the halfway point between if. Wayne and Peoria. — This will be ilio natural Ideation .of tile ends of the two iivisions into which the line will on 7livid?d, Here should’ be lo-

ratod the room! .houses, repair shops, and feeding yards of the, two divisions and probably the j car-shops of the whole line. And; here they will lie located, - say the J 1 »ffioero of the company, if the; people of tlie town show that they | have any just appreciation of the 'vast advantages which the road will J confer upon them.

GILLAM ITEMS

The cool days of autumn are coming on and bringing “Jack Frost” with them. Corn cutting and Molasses making are the occupations of the farmers at present. Rev. McCoy preached at Independence Chapel last Sunday at 3 p. m. The Sabbath school at Independence closed last Sabbath, after a successful! term of six months, under the suDeriiitendqncy of D. EL. Guild. Mrs. L. N. Hollott and Mrs. J. EL* Powell, of Frances viile, - visited their sister Mrs. Wm Faris and old friends, last week. Mr. L, W. Hunt has joined the band of Gillamites at Terre HauteT fMiss Mattie Faris, Yfiss Etta Massey and Mr. G. 1). Fro vo, expect to spend the winter in W hiker tp., devoting their time to the cause of education. This will be their first experience in teaching. The schools of Gillam are mostly filled. The names of teachers will be reported later;

FROM HANGIRG GROVE.

Miss Iluth Smith died Sunday afternoon. Mr. Isaac Parker, Sr., is on the sick list. Farmers are through sowing wheat, and are now putting up shock-corn for their cattle. The Parker Sabbath school closed last Sabbath, with a very good attendance, Mr. Jacob Parker and wife, and Mr. Albert Parker, of Laporte, have been visiting friends in Hanging Grove. . - wfifeimvq.' there, "v The teachers of Hanging Grove for the coining winter are: Frank Peregrine, Sanford Mnkeever, Charles Peregrine, James Antrim and Miss Bantu. Miss Emma Gwin is aga : \ going north to teach school.. We won -er what there is up there that attracts her attention. Mr.. Ed Lefier thought s me of going to Nebraska this fall, but as lie has found a sweet-heart in l Rensselaer, he will probably stay j here, ■

The Wrong Stuinp.

Last Saturday night two desptr- - ale c haracters in La Fayette,’ named Joseph Adams, and tleorge Spurrier, attempted to commit riglnvay robber upon Yt illiain ’ Stump and Frank Jewett. Stump and Jewett wSre both knocked dov. n, and Stump robbed of a few triiireg articles; and then the attention pf both ruffians was- given to .Jewett. Stump being thus left at liberty slipped up, took a revolver from bis friend Jewett's hip pocket and with it Shot Spurrier dead. Stamp and .Jewett were arrested, but afterwards exonerated by the (fraud Jury,, and discharged by Judge Vinton. | Stump is 21 years of age, and : and* well known in Rensselaer, where, with his parents, lie lived ; for some time, a ■ few years ago. i His rslatives ifill live ip the north- . ern part of tlie county we underl stand. ; *

Ho Whiskey ! ___ - . ' - Brown’s Iron Bitters is one of the very few tonic medicines that are not composed mostly of alcohol or whiskey, thus becoming a fruitful source of intemperance by promoting a desire for rum. Brown’s Iron Bitters is guaranteed to be a nonintoxicating stimulant, and it will, in nearly every case, take the place of all liquor, and at the same time absolutely kill the desire for ===== whiskey and other intoxicating beverages. Rev. G. W. Rice, editor of the American Christian Review, says of Brown’s Iron Bitters: Cin., 0., Nov. 16,1881. Gents: —The foolish wasting of vital force in business, pleasure, and vicious indulgepce of our people, makes * your preparation a necessity; jind if applied, Will save hundreds who resort to saloons for temporary recuperation. Brown’s Iron Bitters has been thoroughly tested for dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness, weakness, debility, overwork, rheumatism, neuralgia, consumption, liver complaints, kidney troubles, &c., and it never ' , fails to render speedy and - .
