CORRESPONDENCE.

From Wbeatfleldi. Bom to Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Stimbel on the 15th a son. M. J. Ahlgrim has moved his saw mill to its formef place in our town. Prank Hathaway and family have moved to lowa. Mrs. Samuel Clark has disposed of her property in this place and has gone tp Minnesota. The machinery for the dredge that is to dig the Hodge Ditctt in this township arrived at this place by freight last week. Miss A Hie Bently is at this writing (Monday eve) not expected to live. Her disease is some affection of the brain. Daniel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Warner, is very sick with intermittent fever. ‘ E. Bonnet's and S. A. Austin’s children are down with the whooping cough; and Mrs. John Graves and Mrs. James Rodgers are also on the sick list. i— ; Ashoke, j

From DeMotte. Mrs. L. S. Tyler is very low with dropsy. Her case seems almost hopeless. J. P. Fairchild, who has spent five or six weeks in Chicago, under the care and treatment of a specialist for his catarralfal trouble, is improving his general health Yvitß good" prospects of fully recovering his hearing. Some of our Alliance people came to the conclusion that a town of our dimensions was entirely too large to kindly foster an institution of that kind, so they are at present trying to meet at the Tyler school house. Rev. Edward Day, assisted by Rev. Smith, of Rose Lawn, are conducting a very successful revival in our neighborhood. The church has five accessions and prospects bright for a goodly number to follow. May the good work go on. Another dance at the Town Hall Friday evening. While dancing is perhaps a pleasant and healthy pastime, we think that it is nothing more thau right, that they should let people sleep-who live in the vicinity of the hall, and run as they now are they ought to be condemned as common nuisances, and consigned to the past as “relics of barbarism.”

Hanging drove Items.

Frank Philips of the Valparaiso Normal spent Saturday and Sunday with friends and relatives in Hanging Grove. Susie Parker returned home Sunday aftei a two weeks visit with friends and acquaintances in Rensselaer Mr. Issue JEviins of La Porte is spending the week here with his sister Mrs. Sam Parker. Me Cool, our esteemed trnstee, has rented his farm and lie with his family Witt move to PLiff do some time in the near future, Mr. Cool is a highly esteemed man and his loss will be felt by the entire community. All the teachers were present at the at the tp., Institute last Saturday and all had their subjects well piepared. Mrs." Elias Hamerton is dangerously ill with lnng fever, and Mrs. H. P. Overton and Chas Ablegore’s little girl are also numbered on the sick list. Elvin Overton had his foot badly hurt, on the evening of the 6th, by a horse, which he was riding, falling with him. No serious damage was done and Elvin is now able to get about by the aid of a pair of crutches. “The horse was not hurt.” Windy Dick.

Hell—Sir and Knlman,

A stranger traveling along onr highways would see a sight worth seeing, a sight not often seen, either in this or any other country. There are sights which would more attract the eye of the average Hoosier: Such as a cable car in Chicago, the Brooklyn bridge, the Statute of Liberty, the Falls of a Niagara, a full rigged War Ship, or a young city damsel dressed in her best attire; but the sight you could sec last week in Walker, was mowing machines cutting grass on the ice, and hay rakes at work with wagons and slides, hauling it to the liav press, where it was manufpctured into bales, ready to be shipped to any part of the Union where it is most needed. Now if any other town can beat this, let us hear from them. I Mr. Miller, the saw mill man, with his helping hands, are just more than cutting lumber, and not as is done in some parts of the country, they do not steal the timber. They are on Dr. Loughridge’s ranch, 2 miles east of Hell-Sir. [lt doesn’t seem that far when the Doctor is there expressing his opinions with the bark pn them.] We are told that John Myers has recovered his pocket book and the SB6 and other valuable papers that was in the book. Jasper county can boast that she has some honest people. Thomas Sayers has had a severe attack of Kidney trouble, so bad that I he was not able to walk from his hay

bam to his house, when he felt the attack. Dr. Jones was called and arrived just in time, as a little delay might have resulted fatally. He is now resting easily. John Meyers says he does not see through it why all the rest of the Mey'ers boys have changed the names of just that many young l&dies and he left alone. Brace up John and give the clerk $2. The Rose Lawn Post G. A. R. has sent us word that they will have a Basket Supper at Hogan, Jan. 28, at 6P. M. Everybody invited.

From Remington.

The series of meetings in the M. E. church are still in progress, with an increased attendance and interest. Six persons united with the church last’ Sunday, making about fifteen accessions during the past three or four weeks. The pastor Rev. J. H. Worrall is a man of great earnestness and force of manner and will no doubt lead many into the “better way.” Messrs. Rich and Hawkins, .two of our best men, will go into business in Hammond in the near future. We hope that they may be abundantly successful, yet we hate to give them up. They will not probably 1 move their families up there at present. Hon. Robert Parker came home Friday evening to spend Sunday with his family, returning to Indianapolis on the early train Monday morning. - ■ -J Mr. Hawkins and his family, Mrs. W. H. Coover, Miss Nichols and Miss Mary Johnson, partook of turkey and other delicacies with Mr. Jerome Biddle and family last Saturday. Txaughand Sons are putting up 1 ice of a fair quality this week. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rich, visited friends m Remington recently. Mrs. Rich remained a week after her husband went back to his business. . The memory of man goes not back to the time when there was a more beautiful winter. The weather at this writing is warm and bright and the roads are in splendid condition. , We understand that Mr. Simmons , has been offered a handsome price for his land near town by some parties interested in the sand and gravel '• contained therein. A number of charitably disposed persons visited Mrs. Naomi Hunkins last Saturday night, taking with them many useful and acceptable presents. Mrs. Hunkins has long been in ill health and for the past two months has been confined to her bed. Her condition is almost hopeless, but the kindness extended to her last Saturday night has done much to cheer her up. The creamery is now almost an assured fact. About $3,800 of the required sum has been promised and the remainder can doubtless be secured. Mr. Lockwood, of Tippecanoe county, is working the matter up with much energy and zeal. Samuel Cambe is still very low.in fact his condition is such that his death may occur at any time. Remingtonian.-

A TALE OF THE TAILESS ONES.

A New Enterprise. North Union, Southern Walker, and North Western Barkley are now reaping a harvest of frogs which bids fair to exceed any wheat harvest ever garnered in this section of the county. Men, women and children are engaged in this enterprise. Scores of individuals may be seep sallying forth about sunrise with a bucket in one hand and a garden rake in the other, making a bee-line for the nearest marsh or ditch with which the country abounds. This reached the process of tailing the freckled complected Batrachian is as foUows: The ice is first broken into floes, these piece are then floated aside and the little “hoppers” are raked from under their winter bed under the water together with mud, leaves, sticks, sand, snail shells, and occasionally a snake or mud turtle. When landed upon the frozen bank and the cold air strikes against his delicate, motley coat it send an unpleasant chill through his system and he is awakened from his torpidity. Slowly but surely he straightens out his hind legs, scratches open his eyes with his. fore paws and looks about in speechless wonder as though trying to make out who or. what has disturb" him from his happy dream of Sunny Spring days, merry brinks and grassy bowers. But these meditations are soon interrupted. He is ruthlessly seized by eager fingers and thrust into a bucket along with hundreds of his kind. When the buckets are filled the hunters return home. The frogs are then dressed. With a large pair of shears the body is severed midway between the pairs of legs. The stump of a spine is then grasped between the thumb and fiDger of the left hand and with one jerk of the right hand he is not only dressed but undressed. They are then strung upon twine with a darning needle, carried to market at Blackford where they are sold for “spot” cash at the rates of five cents per dozen for common croakers and five cents apiece for bull frogs, to Theodore Hurley, dealer in general merchandise. The average wages made by frog hunters is $2 per day. Nearly S3OO worth have been shipped from Blaokford within the past month.

White County’s Boss Patriarch.

The 103rd birthday anniversary of Micaja Hancock was celebrated last Friday, a week, at his home near Monon, and the Monticello Herald observes the event by giving a two column biography of the old patriarch, accompanying the sketch with an excellent picture of the subject. This centenarian is a grandson of John Hancock, the signer of the Declaration of Independence, and was bom in Sussex county, Delaware, January 9,1788. He served in the waroFlßl2. He came to this State, in 1844, settling in Wabash county, wlience.he removed in 1850 to White county. He raised a family of eight

children, four of whom are still living, and all of whom, with the exception of one, lived to be oyer 50 years old. His living children are William and Shelby, near Monon, aged 72 and 64 respectively, and Mrs. Eliza Powell and Mrs. Maria Cooper, of Wabash, aged 66 and 56 respectively. Since the death of his wife in 1856, the patriarch has lived with his son Shelby, near Monon. His grand children and great grand children now living number upwards of 100, besides several great, great grand children. The centenarian re-

tains a remarkable degree of vitality and in favorable weather amuses himself by walking to Monon, a distance of six miles, and back alone. His great weight of years does not prove burdensome to him. He seems to enjoy existence, relishes his food, sleeps well and declares that he will live for some years yet and hopes to see the dawn of the next century. His greatest physical infirmity is the almost total failure of his hearing and eye-siglit. His mental faculties are normal, however, and he takes a keen interest in life.
