The fifth eeosaz district of Ib4hm h composed of the following coontier Benton, Carroll, Casa. Fulton, Howard, Jasper, lake, Laporte, Marshall, Miami, Newton. Porter, Pulaski, St. Joseph, Starke and White. Did you ever bear Eli Perkins? (Melville D. London). Why, be la the funniest man living. He is funny to begin, with, and as be speaks. on bo gets as fanny as it is possible to* a mun to be, and then keeps on getting funnier. The subject of bis lecture will lie “The Philosophy of Pud." Of course you will want to take your opera glasses, so that you can the more readily see the point of his jokes. When is he coming? How dees be look? Why of coarse he does! And he has a habit common with most witty individuals of wear ing bis nose right between his eyes; and he invariably, when standing, keeps his mouth above his chin. He says that “those purchasing tickets to his lecture will be admitted tom front seat at the funeral tnjeuse he should be hung before the time arrived. He will be at Starr’s Hall on Monday evening, December 15, 1879. Those sot bolding season tickets will still find it to their advantage to purchase, as a reduction has been made proportional to the number of entertainments yet'o come.

George Webb* of Eli/Abetb, N. J., writes to the editor of the Standard, under date of November 25th, as follows: “My friend Frank W. Babcock haa sent me your paper occasionally. * * * I need not say 1 sympathize with your political views, for F. W. B. and I ride 'lie same patriotic horse. It does seem to me that there is plain common sense and integrity enough inflndiana to discard your “Blue Jeans'' governor and Dan Voorhees in the next election. Mew Jersey is as certain for a republican vote in 1880 as Massachusetts.’» By way of postcript he adds: "1 perceive 1 overlooked what was really moot in my mind when I began this letter. It was, I want to express my admiration of that sonnet headed ‘Watebing and Waning,’ by Miss Peris L. Christain. If that individual is in your vicinity encourage hey to write more. Bhe is a star.” The sonnet referred to appeared in the Standahd of November I6ib, and was. indeed, a beautiful production. The writer, however, in not a resident of Jasper county or we would be after her for regular contributions to the Stahdsn.
