The divorce case of Hinkle vs Hinkle has been postponed until January, on account of insufficient length of residence in the county, we understand. The defendant is still in the county jail, on a surety-of-t he - peace warrant. Tues >ay the Dra. Loughridge removed a considerable quantity of diseased bone from the arm of young Marlatt, whose accidental shooting six or eight weeks ago was mentioned at the time. It was a bad, ugly wound and is giving the young fellow a great deal of trouble. Mrs. M. P, Walker, who has been sick for many months, with a heart trouble, is now at the home of a relative at Englewood (Chicago.} Last Thursday her husband was called to her side, by telegram, she being to be dying. She afterwards improved somewhat, but Tuesday word came that she was worse again. There is probably little if any chance for her recovery.. The town of Winamac is said to be torn from center to circumference by a sensational event that transpired there Monday—the public horsewhipping of Rev. Julius Orton, the Presbyterian minister, by a couple of young toughs whom he had denounced from the pulpit, the evening before. The young men’s names are Moss and Thompson, both sons of prominent citizens. The preacher was severely whipped.

The first distribution of assetts to the creditors of the late Brookston bank has been about completed by Receiver Gay, payments being made through the county clerk by checks on the Citizens’ Bank. The total fund ordered paid out by the court on this distribution was $9,842.64, being about thirty per cent, of the liabilities, and of this amount about SSOO remains in the hands of the clerk. The bank building and the judgements, when turned into cash, it is thought will yield another thirty per cent, distribution, making in all about sixty cents on the dollar which will be saved from the wreck by creditors.—Monticello Herald.
