Peculiar Ceremonies Attending the Marriage of an Indian and a Pretty —X----T Booster Girl. The following account of the marriage of John Deer foot to Miss Alice Van Camp was published as a special from llossville, this state, in the Indianapolis Journal of July 22, l,asfc. The facts that the couple arc now making their temporary habitation ia tteussplaer nail that the bride was a former resident of this vicinity, gives to the account sufficient local interest t > justify its ropublication at this time: Rossville, Ind., July 21.—The most novel wedding ceremony that probably ever occured in this State was performed here last night. The contracting parties were John Deerfoot and Miss Alice Van Camp. Mr. Deerfoot, whose Indian name is Sawadis, is a full-blooded Cherokee, who is traveling as an athlete with Dr. White Cloud’s Indian Company. He is about twenty-one years old, and a fine looking Indian; was born and reared in Tahlequa, I. T,, and is an intelligent young man. The bride is the daughter of Wm. Van Camp, of Clinton Co. She is a very modest, good-100 Icing young lady of nineteen years. Her parents consented to her marriage, as the young husband is unobjectionable, and is reputed quite well-to do. The Couple first met at Frankfort, while Dr. White Cloud’s company were at that place, the young man was boarding at the house where the girl was working, and an affection immediatly sprang up in her heart for her dusky Indian wooer. The course of true love bore a horseshoe on its bosom, and warded away all evil currents. The ceremony was performed by Esquire R. A. Clark, before an audience of between two and three thousand people. Dr. Whifp Cloud had advertised it far and wide on his medicine bills, and people gathered in from miles around. Promptly at nine o’clock the bride and groom madcjheir appearance on an out-door stage, and were married according to the civil laws, after which the Indian marriage ceremony was performed by Dr. White Cloud, assisted by Red Cloud and Chief Eagle Elk, and his squaw. This was, perhaps, the most entertaining’part of the programme. The pledges made by the 6quavv were recited and consented to in English. The bride promised to take care of the groom’s tent and carry the same; to follow him on the hunt in the forest, and to guard his hunting implements white he was 011 the war-path, in token of which she stuck a stick in the earth, and gave her vow that she would be true to him until his body returned to that same earth from whence it was taken, and also be faithful to him in the happy hunting- grounds. Hisroifa were made in the Indian tongue. After the ceremony the groom presented his' bride with a buck-skin, in token that he would always provide her with the best.bed the earth could afford.

The “Champion” Beaten.

WiDamao Republican. Our Medaryville Mends who staked their money on Robinson, the runner, at Delphi, will probably receive some consolation out of the fact that Dillon, the runner, lost the SSOO at Muneie, Thursday of last week, that he won off of them. A race was arranged between Dillon and J. T. Farrell, of Muneie. It was close, [but decidedly in favor of the Muneie man, Dillou gave his name there as J. C. Waters, and said lie hailed from California.

Rates to State Fair.

The L., N. A. & C. Railway will sell excursion tickets from Rensselaer to Indianapolis and return, next week, for the accommodation of those desiring to attend the Stnte Fair, at the rate of one fare for the round trip. September 23 to 28, inclusive.

Notice to Patrons of Electric Lights.

Owing to the fact that some parties are not using the lamps in their dwelling houses as per agreement, instead of burning Tsuch lamps as are needed to do the work or requirements about the house, some are simply • ilhrtmnating their houses every night. From this date on we will not furnish lamps to such parties unless they pay for the same. We cannot furnish lamps to be burned out unnecessarily . B. F. Fkhgubon. Oh, my countrymen! Our new stock bought at the Fountain head, at our own price, enables us to make prices absolutely astonishing in every thing. We have not room for prices on paper--2t Chicago BakoainStork.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

Elliot li. Bulr, of Jordan tp., whose little son was hurt in Rensselaer, last Saturday, was himself thrown from his buggy, Tuesday, his team being frightened by a threshing engine, and was quite badly injured on his head and face. lie remained insensible for an hour afid a half, after the accident. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railway -Tuesday received one of the six large passenger engines which they recently ordered, four of whic h are to run between Chicago trains, and two between Monon and Indianapolis hauling their day and night express trains. Miss Ida Gibson, who recently returned from the Chicago Missionary Training School, and who had intended to go to India, will leave for the south in a few days to act as missionary among the colored people there. She is a young lady of splendid ability to enter the field in question, and all who know her predict for her a grand success. She has been well trained and is thoroughly equipped for the work.—Lafayette Courier. The Inter-State Industrial Exposition, of Chicago, Opened Wednesday, September 4, and continues daily (Sunday excepted), from SaTffiTto 10 p. m., until and including October 19. Admission, adults, 25 cents; children, 15 cents. In money’ value, in educational interest, in business importance, and in attractive novelty, the material of this exhibition and arrangements for its display have not been excelled at any other local exhibition of its class. Reduced fares on all transportation lines with terminus in Chicago. Alkanah Galbraith, of Barkley tp,, plead guilty before Squire Morgan, last Friday, to the charge of assault and battery upon the sinewy frame of Ben. Tutuer, and was fined 83 and costs. A member of Alkanah’s family filed the affidavit, whereby it would appear that Alkanah has the fear of the Grand Jury before his eyes, if not the fear of the Lord. The assault for which Mr. Galbraith suffered this self sought penalty, was committed while he was laboring under the exhilerating influence of an undue accession of booze;and it may be added that Kane’is much disposed to raise Kane when he gets into that, with him, frequent condition. The State Fair is an event as fixed in the minds of the community as Christmas, and for twenty years, with but one exception, has been held on the last week in September. The importance of this annual event would be difficult to estimate. About 82,000,000 in live stock and machinery' will be on exhibition, and the amount of business by orders as estimated at recent Indiana state sail’s seems fabulous. One ftrm alone took orders at last State Fair for thirty-six harvesters, and others claim to exceed that. Progressive farmers often reserve their decision, after reading up and visiting county farrsy jintil they can make choice of the best stock and machinery, which can be seen at the State Fair, commencing Sept. 23.—’Mrs. Sarah Grant, better known as Aunt Sallie Grant, died last Monday morning at the home of E. 11. Moris Aunt SaiiieX grand-da jghter. She died of old age, aad at the venerable age of 92 years and 9 months. Her husband William Grant, and all her seven children except one daughter, have long preceded her to the grave. This surviving daughter, Mrs. Adaline Hurley, lives in lowa, but has been visiting in this vicinity for some months and was with he® mother in -her last illness, which was of about two weeks duration. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, in the Church of God, and was conducted by Rev. L. E. Conner, pastor of that church. Aunt Sallie was the oldest person in the county at the time of her death. Ex-Goy. John P. St. John spoke in the court house last Monday afternoon. As the acknowledged Bead and front of the national prohibit, inn party, and its former candidate for president, and also with the deserved reputation of a great political orator, his meeting was, as could be expected, attended by a very large audience, the court room being filled much beyond its seating capacity. Mrs. Helen M. Gougar spoke at the same place, in the evening. Inasmuch as both Mr. St. John and Mrs. Gougar chilli that they and all other prohibitionists are martyrs to their cause -and subject to greater persecutions than were ever the abolitionists of a former generation, it will not be out of place to remark that although the audiences, at both meetings, were mainly of adherents to other parties, both speakers were listened u> with the utmost courtesy during their speeches, and met with nothing but friendly and respectful treatment during their stay in this, what Mr. St. John would call, “ignorant and prejudiced” Republican community.

Rev. E. G. Peilev, pastor of the M. E. church at Rensselaer for something more than a year past, has been assigned to the ehnrch at Pipe Village, in Warren county’, and will begin his pastoral duties there next Sunday, and we deem the occasion of his departure a fitting time to call attention to the character of the work he lias done in Rensselaer. To him more than to any and all others is due the credit for the fact'HßßT3|gE church organization here is now ]>ossessed of an elegant and spacious church edifice, nearly’ completed and which will be a source of pride aad joy to the church and an honor to the town for many years to come. The zeal, the tireless energy and the marvelous skill and persistency with which Mr. Pelley took up and carried out successfully, under circumstances that utterly: defeated-every, previous attempt, the work of raising sufficient funds to build and furnish this edifice, can never and will never be justly and fully’ appreciated. The trial of Wood Thrasher for the shooting of G. \Y. Dowell, atFrancisville last January, occupied nearly the whole of last week, at -Winamac. Ou Friday afternoon the case was given to the jury’ and in 15 minutes they brought in the verdict of “not guilty,” The nearest witness of the shooting was Dr. S. 1. Brown. He was going with Thrasher sffJFe tfine7h)Xttend a sick child, of the latter’s. The following abstract of the principal points of his testimony is from the Franeesvillc Era: Dr, S. I. Brown then took the stand. After describing the situation, he said, “Thrasher and I passed Dowell. Dowell said something about a ‘pennyroyal bull.’ Thrasher turned and asked, ‘what did you say?’ Dowell said, ‘come back and I will tell you, you s-u of a b—h!’ Dowell then started to draw his revolver, but did not take it out until he started for the door • then he held it in his left hand. He raised it as he walked toward t.h.Q door, and when lie put his left hand on the (loot knob, he pointed the pistol into Thrasher’s face, Thrasher then fired. Thrasher and Dowell were the 3 or 4 feet apart. Dowell had his pistol aimed at Thrasher when Thrasher shot. I did not see Thrasher when he drew his pistol. Thrasher did not say aiiything to Dowell as we passed him.” — * *- We were licensed 82.00 per day'.
