Gentlemen:— lp behalf 9f the citizens of Delphi and Carroll county it affords me pleasure to acknowledge, the receipt of your favor of yesterday. A calf less than two jyears old weighing 1,700 pounds will contribute much to the substantial part of the feast to be given I here September 4th nAt, in celebrating the completion of the iron bands henceforth to bind together your city and ours. We shall appoint a committee, of which . Col. Yeoman will be chtirman, to visit your ciiy, receive the oalf r your generous contribution, and confer upon him the distinguished honor of being the first four-legged calf transported over the 1., D. & 0. Railroad from Rensselaer to

The whereabouts of the 1., B. A. C.

There is n» use talking.; the democratic goose iu Ohio is cooked.

DELPHI’S JUBILEE.

September 4 ;the Day Desig- * ? \ natecL \ Oolakrwtfag ftfcw OtwpMmof thal . • D.AC tWtklsOtty 'V Ddphl Tina*. ' : ■ The folio wing letter will fall as a soothing balm upon the lacerated patience of the citizens of Delphi. For Tears we have worked, waited and dreamed for the event ndw definitely announced for next Thursday week. The shrill whistle of the ‘Rowland Hughe*,” reverberating through the Wabash bottoms, will be the sweetest musio that has fallen upota the ears of the people for many years: To the Mayor and Common Council of the City of Delphi: I have the honor of presenting the compliments of the Board of Directors of the L, D. k C. railway and their thanks to the citizens of the City of Delphi and Deer Creek and Tippecanoe townships for the honest and steadfast financial and moral support given by them to the enterprise, and also am instructed vo inform, through you, the citizens of Delphi, Deer Creek and Tippecanoe townships, and ether localities who have aided and fostered the enterprise, that the Board of Directors have ordered that the Delphi division of the road, between the city of Delphi and Montioelio, be formally opened for business to the city of Delphi on the 4th of September, 1879, and am further directed by said board to co-operate with your honorable body and the citizens of Delphi in any programme that yon and they may see proper to adopt for the celebration or this important event in the history of the city and Carroll county. Yery truly yours, S. N. YeomaV, General Manager LD. & C. RR.

Mayor Walker at once called a special meeting of the Council for Wednesday evening. Pursuant to the call, that body assembled at the Council Chamber, and, after a brief interchange of congratulations, adopted the following lesolution by a unanimos Vote: Resolved, That the Mayor be instructed to call a mass meeting of the citizens of Delphi at the Court House on Thursday the 2lsc lost., at seven o’clock p. m., to take action on the communication of Col. S. N. Yeoman, General Manager of the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago railroad, relative to the opening of the division of the road, on the 4th of September, between the city of Delphi and eello.On motion of Mr. Fisher, the Mayor was requested to have printed and circulated! posters announcing the meeting. * -* J So often has the Times congratulated the citizens of Delphi and Carroll county upon the progress of -this road that anything further which we might say would almost of necessity be in the nature of repetition. As Colonel Yeotfcaa fitly says, the peopleof Delphi hava given the enterprise honest and steadfast financial and moral support. . So earnest and unwavering has been this support oh the part of our citizens that the Indian- j apolis, Delphi and Chicago railroad has come to be considered distinctively a Delphi -enterprise. Long and patiently have our people ’’waited,earnestly have they labored, to secure the building of this road, and now, when it has been completed to our city, we may be excused for the indulgence in what might be termed a delirium of We hope every citizen of the county will heartily endorse the action of the meeting iaat night, and, by uniied effort, make the forthcoming celebration a jubilee to be remembered for years, and made a part of the history of our beautiful city. •

REMINGTON PVT-POU&&1. > f From oar special correspondent. J Hot many Beyiiaytoniana took in the Niagara Falla excursion. A boat two war* all I heard of. $ . .. Aa early w last Sunday the nine minute trotting horses began soaring to the Fair Ground in squads. " - . Jim Tribby who want to Denver, CoH, last spring, baa returned satisfied that “a rolling stone gathers no mogtf’ f B. E. Morgan bsi sold his fhrm, tftgfi miles Bari of tan and will devote his time to looking after town property. John BowmsD i Kirill team indulged is ’a little runaway on Tuesday. Beyond tearing up things a little no harm was done. While taking* horseback ride last Friday Charley Peek had the misfortune UrKaveM* borne drop dead without any wafting. The animal was pure ha ned only the day before. * The business room now occupied by I. CKings bury * Co. has beta sold, 8. k M. Solomon being the purchasers. They will probably move into their new quarters in September. We are aeon to lose one of oar prominent citizens. 8. M. Blank has made arrangements and will depart for Colorado next week. There are many who oould be better spared. “Charity" in last week’s issue of the Re-! porter, hit the nail squarely on the head -in , “Why people talk." These are Gates’ sentiments exactly, and always have been, although he lacked the ability to express them in words. As predicted before, the excellent crop of -wheat raised-this year has incited the farmers to make an attempt in the same direction for another crop. * Should all be successful, judging by the nnmber of aores to be sown, several thousand bushels of this grain will be shipped from this point, the surplus over And above, needed for the bread for the wheat growers.

Not every one who left for the promised land(Kansas) last spring, found the country flowing with milk and honey. If they did, that kind of provender failed to satisfy them. They are coming back one after another, the latest arrival being B. E. Coover, who arrived here with his family last Friday morning, and John Bowman on Saturday. They went, they saw, and they returned. How the ware houses are going to manage to handle all the grain, should it mature as now promises, is an unsolved problem. It is very likely that with good roads, they will be filled to overflowing most of the winter. This opinion is founded on the probability of tbe impossibility to procure cars, with whiob to move the vast crop of corn now growing in this jurisdiction. The company controlling the railroad through Remiogtoa, has always supplied our grain men with facilities for transportation when there was no call for cars at the same point where was a competing rood, and it will doubtless pursue the same course in future. They know that they have this business safe and can taka their own time for it.

The Fair opened auspiciously on Tuesday, the weather bring very pleasant, albeit the roads were rather dusty. Of course there was not a very large attendance on the first day, most of the time being devoted to entering and getting in position articles for the exhibition. Tbo walking matoh in the afternoon excited considerable interest and . pants came down to their work manfully. There were eight entries at first, but learning if Wax g«f as you please, four withdrew and tbe distance was cut down to seven miles instead of ten. Linfoot Ist, Garrison 2nd, Loring 3rd. Shearer withdrew at, the end of the 9th round (4$ miles). Time of winner 56 min., 6 sec. The mule race fizzled for the wadi' of sufficient' entkieh. Wednesday Floral hall was filled to its utmost capaoity with a display, which tor variety and excellence is seldom equalled. The marble works deserves special mention, consisting of monumental and statuary work* of Vermont, Italian and Tennessee marble. More poultry was on exhibition than I ever saw at a fair. Bogs in large number and a good showing of cattle. This has always been noted for the number and excellence of horses and the reputation is folly' sustained' this year. As there are two more days yet, anything like a fair description is impossible. The weather remains all that can be desired and everything is working smoothly and universal satisfaction is apparent. Fast pacing and three minute trotting this (Wednesday) afternoon This is undoubtedly the best Fait ever held here and the most largely attended. Hundreds are here from abroad. Gates.

HOW ADVERTISING WINS.

The following from an exchange contains much truth and revaals the real secret of advertising. ‘ The average reader will readily recognize bis own experience : The first time a man looks at an advertisement he does not see it. The second time he does not notice it. The third time he is dimly concions of it. The fourth time, he faintly remember* having seen something of the kind before. The fifth time, he half reads it. The sixth time he turns up his nose at it. The seventh time he reads it all through and says “pshaw." ’’ The eight time he ejaculates, “Here’s that .confounded old thing again." The ninth time, he wonders “ifthere is any thing m it," The tenth time he things it might be somebody else's case. The elevntb time he thinks he will ask his neighbor if he ha* tried it, or knows any. thing about it. The twelth time he wonders how the advertiser can make it pay. ‘The thirteenth time he begins to think it must be a good thing. The fourteenth time, he happens to thin? it is just what he wanted. The. fifteenth time, he resolves to try it as soon as he can afford it. ' r The sixteenth time, he examines the address carefully, and makes a memorandum of it. The seventeenth time, be feels tantalised to think he can hardly afford it. The eighteenth time, he ie painfully re. rninded he muoh needs that particularly (excellent article. -/ The nineteenth time, he counts'hi* money to see how much he would have left if he [bought it; and The twentieth time he frantically rushes out in a lit of desperation, and buys it.

INTERESTING TO MARRIED WOMEN.

A question of considerable interest to married women throughout the State is pending in the United States court, involving their rights in real estate owned by their husbands who have gone Into bankruptcy, and beld at the time of filing the petition. ' Until the law of 1875, a married wotaan was compelled to await the death before she could receive her share hi bis real estate. As the law now stands she takes aa undivided one-third of his real estate in fee simple'immediately upon a “judicial sale” of her husdand’siuterest being made, and may have partitiongs though he were dead, 'fiie question raised is whether the bankruptcy of the husband and the sale made by the assignees are a “judicial sale” within the meaning of the lafir. It has been held by Judge Elliot, of the Superior Court, that the sale of the real estate by the aaeignee ia a jddfcfiel sale, and amities a wife to partition. Under the bankrupt law a dead fb executed by the judge or register fb the court, of the bXrikrnpt’g property to the assignee. It ie claimed that this alone entitles the wife to partition, nnd it is this particular question that is under consideration by Judge Gresham.—[lndianapolis Jouririkh This may be a civilized country, bnt tbe' mode of punishment now used in the Sing Sing prison, New York, must have been borrowed from tbe savages.
