A destructive fire was caused last Thursday afternoon, by some sparks escaping from the 1 o’clock local south. The fire burned a great deni of fence for J. P. Coen and some cord wood for C. D. and DHK. Nowels. The fire would damage had it not been npr the snow that night. Bad weather never seems to interfere with business. ..... Y. The young carpenter from Medaryville was in this neighborhood over Sunday, locking after his interests. 0 Mr. Renicker, who has been very sick for some time, is slowly improving. The janitor, after fires are built and things put in order at the Rosebud church, calls at the nearest house and awaits church time. Uncle Mose.

Miss Lizzie Faris and'Miss Mollie Hazelett visited friends near Francesville, last week. z • , A few the young folks enjoyed a very pleasant social at Wm. Faris’ on the evening of the 29, il l being Miss Emma’s eighteenth i birthday. Mr. Whitmore, of ■ Medaryville, who is quite proficient on the guitar, assisted by Lewis Hunt with the violin, favored the young people with some excellent music which was one of the principal features of the evening. The schools of Gillam have all closed, Center being the last which closed last Saturday. The patrons expressed their good will towards the school and teacher, Lewis Hunt by giving to them to the number of 75 or 80 an excellent dinner. The literary exercises in the afternoon were very entertain, ing, and every one enjoyed a good time. , Rev. Snoddy gave a very interesting discourse from the text: “Why halt ye between two opinions,” on last Saturday evening at the chapel. Hon. A. C.

The newly married couple are among the most estimable of our young people, and they have the best wishes of their many friends for their future happiness.

That Horse Case from Keener.

The jury in the case from Keener tp., of Noah Frame vs. John L. Town, brought in their verdict last Friday morning. One of Town’s horses died in July last, and the same day that it died he put another horse into its vacant stall which he had bought of Frame. In payment he gave a note, which note is not yet due. The disease which Town’s horse died from was shown pretty conclusively to have been the farcy, a contagious disease, allied to the glanders. As to what the condition of the horse bought of Frame was in, when bought, there was a conflict of testimony. Town and his family testified that he appeared to be sick the next day. A number of ; good witnesses, however, testified that the horse seemed to be all right for several days after its purchase, and Town himself was proven to have expressed himself well pleased with" the anima], a week or more after he bought it; and the fact that he did not give his note for the horse until aftei he had owned and it for 5 days, was put in evidence to show that he was satisfied that the horse was all right, or else he would have refused to give the note. About 2 weeks after the newjiorse was bought it became sidfand its disease was also pronounced the farcy, by Dr. I. Robbins, a practicing physician, and others. About two weeks after the' horse Bbcame sick, Town led it back in the night, and tied it in or near Frame's barn, where he had otherljorses stabled. Frame first to induce Town to take the* horse away, and then he turned it loose on the commons, where it Eventually died. The next development was th at two horses and a mule belonging to Frame were taken sick, evidently with the same disease that the Town horses died of, and the mule died, but the other horse finally got well, afterAnuch trouble and expense in caring for it. The present suit wfts brought by Frame to recover damages for the dead horse and inule and the loss occasioned by the sickness of the other horse. Frame based his suit on the claim that the horse which Town had brought back had communicated the disease to Frame’s gorses. The jury evidently took Frame’s view of the xiase, as tlhey gave him a verdict of !5240. h

Tried for Illegal Voting.

■ The trial of Clinton Gerard, charged with wo ting under age, in Rensselaer last tall, was begun Tuesday afternoon, Judge Ward and a picked-up jiiiw. The trial was held in the Circuit\Clerk’s office, the court room occupied by Judge Swigart, in the trial of other cases. The principal evidence against Gerard was. the testimony of Chas. Burns and wife, for whom worked last year, and of their hired girl; and of the.boy’s uncle, Servetus Gerard, of Union tp.. who never saw him until he / came east from MissSuri, tyrd>. years ago, all of whom that Gerard, had often stated that his age Was nineteen’years last May. For the' defense, Gerard, himself, took the stand and swore flatfooted that he never told the Burns’ ior their handsome hired girl or his avuncular relative that he i was only nineteen years old. He also i swore that he would be twenty-two next month, and a letter purjxirting to be from his mother was offered in evidence, in which she declared that his age was nearly twenty-two. It isa noteworthy fact, in this connection that although Gerard’s parents are both living in the state of Missouri, no swOrn depositions from them were offered by the defense, in regard to their son’s, age. The case-was given to the jury at about 2 p. m* yesterday, and had not been decided up to the time of going to press.

Two bottles made me feel like a new man. As a general tonic and spring medicine Ido not know of its equal”

About the Corner-Stone Laying.

Rev: J. L, Smith, D. D. P. E., of the Valparaiso district, will lay the .corner stone of the Methodist .church, in this place, next Monday, April 8, at 2:30 P. M. Chorister W. W. Watson will have charge of the siting. Dr. McMullen, of Lafayette, will offer the prayer, and Rev. M. M. Parkhurst, D. D., of Greencastle, will deliver the address. The documents, papers, history of the church organization &c., such as are usually deposited in or beneath the stone are being prepared by the pastor'; who respectfully asks a large attendance and a very liberal thank offering on this joyous occasion.

Rensselaer Circuit Appointments.

The Rev. D. W. Jessee has been appointed by the Presiding Elder, to fill out the remainder of the conference year as pastor of the Rensselaer M. E. Circuit. He has made the following appointments: First Sunday in April, at Pleasant Ridge, 10:30 a. m.; Pleasant Grove 3:30 p. m. Second Sunday in April, Neverfail, 10:30 a. 6, 3:30 p. m. Indianapolis Journal: Bedford, Ind., has always been a warm friend of the L. N. A. <fc C. roid, and gives evidence of it in various ways, the latest of which is shown on the city seal, which is about as large as a sil-

ver dollar. In the center of the seal is a flat car with “L. N. A. & C.” on the one side, an<t on the cat are blocks of stone marked- “Oolitic Limestone,” while a derrick holds a block of stone ready to be loaded on the car. .’rhe friendship of Bedford to this railroad eompmy makes it almost impossible to get a jury in Bedford, that will bring in a verdict against the company, and often a change of venue is asked by parties who bring suit against the road. “When the spring time comes,” we usually find oruselves drowsy and exhausted, owing to the impure and sluggis state of the blood.
