In the death of Daniel Manning the Democratic party loses one of •Its very ablest lenders.' A meeting of the stockholders oLthe Natural Gas & Oil Compa- , ny will be held to-morrow evening, in the court house, to determine whether the drilling shall be con tinned to a greater depth. We believe the general sentiment of the stockholders is in favor of further l»oring, and this view we think i> wise. JLtetns bore until we strike gas, oil, flowing water or the bottom of the company’s money box.

set- John, tine mercenary and malicious chief of the political prohibitiouists, says that Blaine is a ‘•monster” because of his suggestion that the tobacco tax be aboliSfi’od. St. John looks upon the use of tobacco as an evil and thinks, ca* protends to think, that' taxed tobacco is so much more favorable to general morality than free tobacco that the man who advocates the latter is a “monster.” At the same time St. John and his brother cranks claim that free whisky is so much better for the people than taxed whisky that a jjiau who advocates taxing whisky is also a “monster.” To sum up and recapitulate: St. John thinks tobacco is an evil and that whisky is an evil: but the man who dont want taxed tobacco is a monster and the man who does want taxed whisky is another monster. Malicious hatred for the Republican party involves men in strange Contradictions, sometimes.

Hou. W. D- Owen.

The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal, speak iug especially of the newer repieseutatives in Congress from this state, has the following with refer-i ence to the member from the 10th district: “Among the very high eat and most influential of the new Republican members from the State is Mr. Owen, of Logans}X)rt. rho & entering upon his second term. - Mr. Owen is one of the lest educated and most polished gentlemen in the House;-and his acquired talents have not impaired

Lis native ability. In other words. lie retains his hbrse sense’ while i Le rises in the acquirements which education and experience bring to' men. His years in the pulpit added to his fund and finer senses, while in no way took from it th6* ability to look coldly into’the millstone of life. His practice of the law and his two years in Congress have also contributed to make him thoroughly practical, while they have not dispossessed him of any dr his instincts. -He is an eibquWt i talker. a close shjHent, a peuetrat iug observer, a faithful committee worker, and has an influence which few wield on the floor of the House.

A Notable Gohlen Wedding.

The fiftieth wedding rtnniversaiy of onr county recorder, Thomas Antrim, anti his good wife, was srticcessfullv celebrated last Tuesday. A golden wedding is a rare • event,'in any case, while its celeibrntion by. ati incumbent county officer is an event quite unique in Jasper county history. Thomas Antrim and Lucinda W. Massey a were * married in Grant county, tins state, Dec. 27, 1837. The house in which the ceremony took place was very near the then raw little village of Marion, and the very spot is now Covered by the thriving gas city of that name.

The married relations then be- ! gun have continued for a half cen- , tury, and it was meet that the fiftieth anniversary should have ! been observed in some fitting nlanrner. ’ ; The guests present, Tuesday jif. j ter noon, at the Doctor's pleasaiit but modest residence, in Newiofi’s addition, were about 100 in number. The leading features of the occasion was the disposition of a royally good and abundant dinner, and the presentation to the worthy couple of many valuable and apl>ropriate souvenirs of the anniversary. Among these were a splendid gold headed cane, presented to the doctor by his fellow county officers and an elegant and costly pair of gold spectacles, pre-, sented to Mrs. Antrim by Messrs J. T. Handle, W. T. Moore, G. U. Brown, B. Paris, H. W, Porter. Dr. J. H Loughridge and wife presented a pill box, which contained a five dollar shinert Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Meyer gave a>2.50 gold piece. Mr and Mrs. Spitler a gold thimble and a gold tooth pick (theold folks still wear their own teeth) Philip Blue and AV. B. Austin a rocking

chain Nothing need be said in praise of the dinner farther than it was produced by the ripest skill of those able culinary artists Mesdames J. F. Irwin, C. H. Roberts, Geo. 0. Hoover and J. C. Morgan. The Cornet Band put in an appeal unce during the festivities (the wind being favorable for smelling the good dinner) aud after regaling the wedding guests with the Choicest pieces'in their repertoire, they also gathered round a well filled table and transposed an astonishingly large portion of its burden |to their own inner anatomical recesses. Among the guests present were three of the font living children of I the Dr. aud Wife and Mr. and Mrs. IL L. P. Massey, of Gillam tp., the former being a’ younger brother of Mrs. Antrim.
