Mum Emma Wigmore, of Monticello, ipent part of this weekin Romingtin, the guest of Miss Agnes Nelson. Mrs. W. B. Price j.nd daughter left on Friday last for a visit with friends in Lafayette. The handsome new dwelling house of Mr. William Rich is rapidly being pushed to completion. Uncle Felix H- Donelly is busily engaged in gathering up trees and shrubbery with which to beautify his farm in Dakota. He expects to leave for that delectable region this week. Although vegetation was late in putlog in an appearance, the grass and .early trees and shrubbery are growing with almost marvelous rapidity. It is the opinion of close observers, that notwithstanding the extreme severity of the past winter, there will be plenty of fruit Mr. A. W. Wood, of Chicago, special agent of the Brad’ey manufacturing lirm, was in town over Sunday. He is not only a gentleman of splendid business ability, but he is a man of culture, and an earnest Christian worker. He made a short address to the children of the M. E. Sunday school, the boys especially, which will result in this lasting good.

ftochpgt&r Sentinel, Another Indiana man has gpt a position Tinder the Cleveland administration, Bayless W. Hanna, of Crawfordsville, has been chosen by the President to represent the Government at the capital of Persia, For a long time it was thought that Cleveland did not •know that Indiana was one of the States of the Union,* he has discovered it at last and made a few appointments of Indiana men.

What Democrat Price thinks of the Winnebago Reservation Outrage.

Highmw®, ) Vox Popnli. We publish elsewhere a copy of Cleveland's order in relation to the Winnebago and Crow Creek reservations. Wo still have hopes that something will turn up within the next sixty days to confirm the settlers in their rights. President Cleveland has been imposed upon by a herd of Quaker cranks, who have more love for the Indian than they have for white men. All of the good Indians died long ago; and it seems to ns that a great outrage has been perpetrated on the settlers who occupy the lands, many of whom have expended their last dollar in establishing themselves there. We would -.advise the settlers to stand firm and -not move an inch from their homes unrtil compelled to do so by the troops.

The Democratic Caucus.

Some twenty-five or thirty of 4he democratic voters of Rensselaer, met at the court house Tuesday evening, and .nominated a -ticket to be voted for (but not -elected) at Next Monday’s election. The following candidates were put in nominations Councilman Third Ward, Michael Eger. Councilman, Fourth Ward, Geo t EL Brown. Councilman, Fifth Ward, John ■Chamberlain. Clerk, J. H. Jessen. Treasurer, Ludd Hopkins. In regard to Town Marshal the following resolution was adopted, after a good deal of wrangling: Reioh eels that under existed circumstances that this convention will make no nomination for Town Marshak The resolution provoked considerable discussion, as well as a number of voters, i Mr. M. O. Halloran was especially wrathful. He was very anxious for the nomination of a straight out Democi at, and gave vent to his overwrought feelings in language of the most vigorous (iescriptic n.

RELIGIOUS MATTERS.

BY REV. T. C. WERSTER.

THE BIBLE. The Bible ip the most forceful, and pungent of books. While it has the swetness of a mother’s hush for human trouble, it haS all the keenness of a cinjieter, and the crushing power of a lightning bolt. It tells of man’s creation, in the image of God, of his exalted privileges in his Eden homo, and how he forfeited his right to all his claims on that happy abode, and to the mercy and love of his heavenly Father. It tells how one forbidden tree in the garden blasted the earth with sickness and death, and how this tree, though leaf less and bare, yet, planted on Calvary, shall yield a fruit that shall more than antidote tho poison of the other. 11 tells how low man has fallen into sin and degradation, and how high he may be exalted*through righteousness, obtained by faith in the blood of Christ, It speaks in gentleness of God's mercy for the erring, and his willingness to pardon and save the returning prodigal; but it blazes and burns with threatnings of his wrath, that, in his justice, will be visited upon the finally impenitent. Its pages are beaming with precious promises to all the race of man. Promises to the sinner, promises to tho Christian, promises to the rich, the poor, the sick, the dying; promises to the unlearned and the cultured; to the-old, the middle-aged and tho young; promises of sustaining grace, of keeping power and eternal life, to all who repent of their sins, and avalk in the light of God's approval. '‘lt's a lamp to our feet, and a light to our path way.” amidst the deepest shadows of this life, this light shines out clear and beautiful. It’s light pours in effulgence upon the graves of our beloved dead, and tells us they shall live again. It sends a flood of light out into the future, so that we are not going “we know not whither,” but up to the mansions of heaven, to be among the ransomed of all ages, and to know them, even as We are known. The Bible is the foundation of all good government, the chief corner-stone of all our schools of learning, and our institutions of benevolence. It is the forerunner of civilization, and the platform upon which good society stands. The Bible is a rock of diamonds, a chain of pearls: the sword of the spirit, a chart by which the Christian sails to eternity, the map by which he daily walks, the standard by which he sets bis fife, the balance in which he weighs his actions. The Bible is our best business guide; if men would oobt suit it more, and obey its precepts, We would have less financial crashes. It is needed in every department of life; the world cannot do without it. Destroy this Bible, as the enemies of human happiness have vainly endeavored to do, and you render us profoundly ignorant of our Creator, of the formation of the world which we inhabit, of the origin and progenitors of the race, of our pres ent day and future destination, and consign us, through life, to the dominion of fancy, doubt and conjecture. Destroy this volume, and you deprive us of religion, with all its animating consolations, hopes and prospects which it affords, and leaves us nothing but the choosing between the cheerless gloom of infidelity, and the monstrous shadows of Paganism. Destroy this volume, and you unpeople Heaven, bar lor ever its doors against humanity, restore to the King -of terrors his fatal sting, bury hope in the same grave which receives our bodies, consign all who have died before us to eternal sleep, and allow us to expect nothings but a similar fate; in a word, take away this volume, and you take away everything of value to us. Oh! let us hold on to; the Bible. Take away every thing else, ! if yon will, parents, children, brothers, sisters, companion and all earthly possessions, but leave aie this precious.volume. Let me die ameug strangers, or alone on seme mountain top, but let this Bible be my pillow in death. Among the dead, on one of the battle fields of our late Rebellion, Wab the unburied body of a Rebel soldier; several days ia 1 passed since the conflict; already the flesh had been eaten from his fingers by the worms, but underneath the skeleton hand lay an open copy of the Bible, and the fingers pressed upon these precious words of the twenty-third Psalm: “Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
