A Successful Re-union.

OF THE GLORIOUS NINTH INDIANA REGIMENT. vl The Ninth Indiana Regiment held a splendid re-union in Rensselaer last week, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Ninth was first in the field and last to leave iL One of its members was the first volunteer kilted in battle in the war. It fought in 3 dozen bat, ties, in eleven different states. It consisted, first and last of 1800 men, and of those 500 still survive. One hundred or these survivcrs attended the re-union. Many soldiers of other regiments were present also, and also many of their wives and children. It Was a happy, and indeed a jovial crowd but jwithal a most decorous sober and well-behaved one. The old soldiers were most hospitably treated by our citizens, and were more than pleased by the generosity of their entertainers.

The various meetings, entertainments <fcc. were successfully carried out, almost as indicated in the previously published programs. The 1893 re-union will be held in Chicago, the first week in October; in 1894 it will be held at Delphi. The games of the members of the 9th attending' the re-union are given below, with residence and company. It should be remembered lliai. yearly or quite all of those credited to Medaryville and Francesville are residents of Jasper county, those towns being their post-offices. Following is the list: NAME.

Teachers’ Institute.

The Teachers’ Institute convened at the M. E. churchy Monday morning at 9 o’clock. 100 members were enrolled Monday and increased to 132 during the week. Prof’s. Aley and Griggs were the instructors and gave entire satisfaction. The annual reunion was hold in the parlors of the Makeever House, Monday evening. This was a new departure and while it was criticised by some of our citizens, it was appreciated by those present. It has been the custom to hold the reunion in the court room, but the immense crowd in attendance wholly destroyed the social features of the meeting and it was for Ibis reason that the place was changed and the attendance limited to members o’ the Institute only. Wednesday evening, Prof. Griggs delivered a free lecture on “To-day and to morrow. ”

Thursday evening. Prof. Aley lectured on “Thomas Jefferson.” Supt of Public Instruction, Yories failed to put in an appearance to the disappointment of the Institute. The following resolutions were of sered by the committee, and adopted unaminously.

DUNNVILLE.

Hay making is about over. Miss Rosa Jones who has been visiting friends and relatives in Dun*ville and vicinity, returned to her home in Englewood last Monday. Rapid progress is being made on our new school building* It is to be completed by Sept 24. The Dunnville school teachers have all arrived home from the county Institute. r: Milton White, of Clayton, is visiting in the vicinity of Dunnville this week. The most brutal and atrocious murder to be found on the pages of criminal history, was committed three miles south-east of Dunnville on the evening of Sept. Ist. An old German by the name < f Gasting was murdered by his wife and step-daughter. They had threat ened to kill him aid he told one of his neighbors that lie was afr ftf d or them, as he believed they would carry, out their threat. Thursday his wife went to her daughter’s, a short distance from where they lived, and about 7 o’clock, he went after her; when he reached the house, he was knocked in the head with an ax by the. woman. After killing him they mutilated the body in the most

barbarous manner. They had taken knives and cut and hacked it, until all the resemblance of humanity was destroyed; one ear and the nose was -cut off and the other ear slit, the mouth was split from ear to ear, and the eyes gouged out. Tne fiendsuot being content with this, had taken •ticks and stuck them into the flesh and broke them off; as many splinters ahd slivers as could be held in the hand were taken (rom the face. After completing they: fiendish work, they dragged the. body into the woods and covered it with brush. The inquest was hold at San Pierre, Saturday. The younger woman s lid, “they intended to kill him and had killed him good. ” They were held for murder and taken to Knox Saturday evening, as there wes talk of lynching. Old Harper .
