Isaac Knight, democrat, one mile west of here was elected trustee in Colfax tp., Newton county, and “set up” two kegs of beer in Fair Oaks, over the result. The engineers on the C. & E. I.

No. 1.) preached his first sermon in the Christian church at Francesville, last Sunday, J. P. Overton of this place accompanying him to Francesville. The people say he did splendidly. We do not see why the young man can not leave some of his oratory here where he belongs. Rev. Caldwell of Ohio, and Leroy Noland, of Lee, held a religious debate at this place, last Tuesday and Wednesday. Services being held at Osborne in the daytime, and at Dixie at night. They had a good attendance at both places, knd their talk was interesting to all who heard it. Miss Dora Stires, who has been at LaPorte for the last year, is now visiting her old friends at this place. District No. 1. dismissed and • visited schools at Surrey, last Friday, a week ago, they reported a splendid time. Mrs. Rockwell of Monon has been visiting friends in Hanging Grove for the past week. Geese still seem to be plenty and hunters are enjoying themselves. t Springjs here and farmers are plowing and preparing to sow oats.

was quite a reunion at the Lally mansion on Saturday and Sunday last. The veritable P. H. himself, Mr. Catt of Fort Scott Kansas andjMrs. Geo. Robinson of Rensselaer, father and sister of Mrs. Lally, all arrived on Saturday last. By some 'oversight we omitted to mention at the proper time, that Jasper Guy had been admitted to die bar, but such is the case. He was admitted severalr weeks agq. Our schools will close May 4th with rather a large Inumber of Graduates. We had excellent schools here this winter, in fact we neyer have had any other kind. Mrs. John Randall and Miss Alice o,L Greensburg, Kansas, arrived last Friday, for a six weeks visit with parents and friends. They report the season as much more advanced in Kansas, than with us. The receipts at the Easter’entertainment given by the Presbyterian ladies were something over 877, Truly the ladies of that church know how to manage entertainments and make them successful in every way. f Mrs. J.

Hopkins purchased as a birthday present for his daughter Mabel, a handsome piano, of excellent make and tone. J. E. Stiller of Fnglewood, HL spent several days in Remington last week and the early part of this week. Mr. Stiller is a wide awake business man, a staunch republican and as a matter of course being a republican it follows without saying; that he is a good man generally. An educated Indian lectured in Exchange Hall two evenings of last week to large audiences, and better lectures haye seldom been heard here. He placed the Indian question in a new and entirely different light and ’’gave our apathetic people something to ponder over. There is no use- in trying to dodge or evade the question, the government has {not dealt fairly with the aborigines.

The quarterly meeting services and the Easter service called together large epngregations at the M. E. chui'ch last Siuulay morning and evening. The 8 school was also well attended, 13ff being present. Dr. J. L. Smith, the venerable P. E. of this district preached in his own inimitable way, in the morning, and in the evening the service was conducted by the S. school assisted by Dr. Smith and Mr. Millicent of Indianapolis. Mr. Millicent has a voice of wonderful power and compass which he is always ready to lift up to aid any good cause. The pastor of the church, Rev. E. B. Woodson is always an able general in all departments of church work, and never more so than on this occasion. Sickness is decreasing somewhat, that is those who have been sick {are getting better. Among those who are convalescing, more or less slowly, may be mentioned Mrs. G. B< ClarK MrSv Q, B- McIntire, Mrs. J. D. Mason, Mies Mamie Turpin and M aster Henry Wells. The election passed off quietly, but there was more or less wire pulling among the friends of the different parties. The result is is not yet known, at least to your correspondent.

“MAJOR C.”

Anol her Fine Horse for .Rensselaer. ■ —=■ Lafayette Daily Courier In the beautiful sunlight of a glorious spring morning a reporter of the Courier drove out to the stock farm of Mr. J. Crouch, which is situated near the city limits, and a place which the press representative has long wished to behold. Mr. Crouch is a practical horseman, and his knowledge of the business is placing the farm in the front rank as the breeding place of choice and valuable animals. His faim is now visited by purchasers from different parts of the country, and among the number who to day went out was Mr. George K. Hollingsworth, of Rensselaer, Ind. who was accompnitd by the Courier reporter. Mr. Hollingsworth is a young man, a lover of fine horse flesh and who owns a stock farm, situated on the outskirts, qf Rensselaer. As the barnyard gate . was entered Mr. Hollingsworth remarked to the reporter: “Now I will show you something pretty. I bought it today.” It was but a moment or two when a groomsman led from his stall the beautiful “Major C.,” a full blooded imported Cleveland Bay stallion, which animal has been the property of Mr Crouch since last “Augurit. Like a piece of bronzeu statuary stood the animal, with magnificient sweeping tail and mane, with well developed limbs, graceful in every movement, kingly in grace, and from his intelligent eyes there shone a glance indicative of kindness and a disposition most gentle. “Major C.” was foaled May 23, 1883, and is five years old this spring. He

stands over sixteen hands, and weighs 1325 pounds. He was sired by “Prince George,” an imported English’ ClevelSud Bay stallion of fine pedigree, and sire of numerous valuable animals. While' this magnificent specimen of horse-flesh has been in possession of Mr. Crouch the animal has been looked upon by competent horsemen from various parts of the country, and all of whom have pronounced the same to be the finest, best developed and kindest in disposition of all coach stallions ever brought to the State. “He is,” said a prominent horseman of a neighboring State, “the finest specimen of horse-flesh in Indiana to-day.’” Mr. Hollingsworth, purchaser of “Major C.” will have his new treasure shipped this evening to his farm and he will prove a great addition to the stock interests of his county as his purchase will be the first blooded coach horse ever brought to that section of the State. He is Certainly to be congratulated upon his good fortune in obtaining possession <of this magnificent animal, and it is not to be doubted that upon its arrival the beautiful horse will be looked upon with the same intense admiration as when it stood in the stall at Mr. Crouch’s breeding farm or frisked about the spacious barn-yard.
