LOCAL MATTERS.

' TVK JOI ITFIOATTION JSERTiNO. The Republicans of Rensselaer and vicinity met at the Court House last Saturday evening for the purpose of mutual congratulation otfer the success of tire party in the political campaign just ended, and also to present the flag awarded to the Republican* of Hanging Grove township, by the ladies of Rensselaer, for having one of the two largest delegations in procession at the rally in (his place on tire Third of October last. Notice had been circulated that Col. Granville Moodv, of Ohio, was in tho county, and that I an effort would be made to secure liitn for a speech. The homo was Well filled with ladies and gentlemen. all warm in the cause of Republicanism and rejoicing in the election of Grant and Colfax. After patiently waiting for nearly two hours, the audience was informed by Hon R. 6. Dwiggina, who had •I riven oht to Col. Moody’s farm to bring him to town, that it wns impossible for that gentleman to be present, whereupon the audience called loudly for a speech from Mr. ' which was responded t<> by that gcmlernan with his usual eiithusiasm, and frequently interrupted by applause. After Mr. Dwiggins had closed Col. E. P. Hammond "was called out and made a clear and earnest congratulatory address ot a few minutes length, and sat down amidst a storm of applause.—■ M. L. Spitler, County Clerk, was next called out, and proceeded in chosen language, to recount the Isaacs deaided by the campaign and 'the blessings which would result— Air. Spitler is acknowledged to be one of the best public speakers in the •county, having a good delivery and a fine flow of language. Maj. R. B. James was called upon and rcsponded in a short speech that left, no doubts in the minds of his hearers, of his stem patriotism, and ultra, Radical views. It was announced that Mr. Sheppard, of Indianapolis, was present, who immediately responded to the call of the meeting iu a pleasant address of about ten Aoinutes length. THE FLAG PRESERVATION. After the speaking had closed, it was announced by Mr. Thos. Boroughs, Chairman of the County Republican. Central Committee, that the Flag would be presented by Mr. Horace E. James, and Received by Mr. Judson Porter. These gentlemen came before the audience, and 1 M r - Forter, on behalf of the Republicans of Hanging Grove township, returned thanks to the ladies of Rensselaer for the beautiful present, in a very creditable impromptu address, which.we were unfortunately unable to secure for publication.

Note.—lt Is due to the friends of Mr. ! .lumen, and but simple justice to ■ him to state that he was unable to deliver the address he had prepared, and was oom polled to leave the house without hearing the reception address, on account of the oppressive condition of the room. Below is the speech he had prepared to deliver: “BepvblicansoMlaxgiso Grove. Township:—lt is thy honor to have been selected,‘on behalf of the ladies of Rensselaer, to present to you this i beautiful Flag—the creation of their industry—as a token of their appreciation of your energy in the political campaign just closed, and which has resulted so completely in tbe triumph of principles wnrch you in common wild the millions of this great nation have so earnestly advocated and so gallantly battled for. As this beautiful present is the Colors of free America, adopted by the fathers as the emblem of the Union of the States and the liberty of.the people, you, the decendants of those noble fathers, and citizens of a country whose inhabitants for nearly a century have prospered under its protection, can never so forget the glory of its history as to desert it in the hour of peril. W? believe J'ou will ever be. true to the principles of which it is the emblem—at the ballot-box in times of peace, on the battle-field in times of war. During the political cain]>aign just decided in your favor, your watch-word was ’‘Peace," this peace we Itglieve is established upon an enduring foundation. May you and your children live long toonjoy the blessings it brings to our beloved country." —First, try “Barrett’B.”

A CHAPTER OF HORRORS

Day lo son yesterday the people of Rensselaer were sharked by the report that Mr. George B. Work, a fanny living about two and a hnlf miles north of town, had committed suicidjcliy shooting himself through the head with a revolver. Justice E. T. Harding had a jury impanMoned,aodyestciday morning pro-cciah-d to the scene of the tragedy und held an inquest Upon the body, wbi«‘h elicited the following ■>, TESTIMONY: Patrh k Donei.i.y being duly, sworn, stated that “At about one -o’clock on the 10th day of November, ]PGB. 1 w’erft south, toward the brush in the field near the house J nudy belonging to G eorge B. Work. When J came near the brush, about forty rods from the house, I heard a gurgling sound, and I drew near and raw a mau and judged it to be George B. Work, lying on his face. I rail Back and hailed John Baker, HOwon Baker and Samuel Baker; and we all went back and found George B. Work, whose body now lies in view of this Jury, lying on his faoc, with his hands under him, his hat partly on, with a bullet-hole wound in his forehead, and his brains scattered on his face and in his bat. There was a pistol in his right band—it waa a four-barrelled pistol, the same now presented to the Jury—with three barrels load’cd. He was breathing but was not able to move, and there were no inboots outside his pants, black cloth overcoat, dark cloth pants, a light vest and an old wool hat. Harrison Baker went to Rensselaer, and I came and told his sister.” . John Baker’s testimony corroborated the statement of Mr. nonelly as to the manner of finding the body, and the position in which it was lying. Dr. James 11. Txmtgiirtdge biung duly sworn said, “Am a regular Fracticing physician. At 2$ o’clock, M., November 10th, InGO, Dr. Spitler and myself came to George B. Work’s residence, in Maridn township, Jasper county, Indiana. I found the body of George B. Work lying in the grove, about 40 rods from nie house, lie was then dead. Body was lying on left side, inclining towards the face. .There wa* Itmot of blood and brains upon his forehead and face. I then had him removed to the house. I washed his face and forehead and examined him thoroughly about the head. Found a wound in the center of the forehead. It was about onp inch long—geemed torn or ruptured—in the center was a round hole, w hich appeared to have been made by a small bullet. Examined the skull and found the scalp detailed for about one inch around the wound. The skull was fractured around the cavity considerably.— There was the impression of every barrel of a font-barrelled pistol to be seen upon the scalp, as if firmly pressed against the skin. The impression corresponded in size ami ajtpearancts with -the- muzzle-- vfa pistol lying on the ground near The body, and which isnonvjji view of the Jury; I introduced;?probe and found the wouiyl extended downward and backward some

three orfour inches. In my opinion, his death was caused "by a pistol shot, fired while in contact with the scalp. The eyes were very much swollen and black, and the brain was oosing from the nose.— The wound indicated that the powder had burned it, and showed that the pistol must have ,been in direct contact with the surface.” Dk. Daniel SriTputfs "evidence was in corroboration of that given by Dr. Loughridge.. C. D. Stackhouse on the stand. “At about. 4 o’clock P M.*, November, 10’68, I helped strip the body of George B. Work. He had on a black frock coat, a dark vest, cheek shirt, steel mixed pants, a pair of stoga boots, and black socks. He had on his person valuables, that we found, as follows: —Two jureket handkerchiefs and two letters. No sears except on his forehead. Could see the impression of jthe four barrels of a pistol.” VERDICT OF THE .TVRV. “We, the undersigned J urors, bmpannelled and sworn on, the Eleventh day of November, in the year 1868, in’the Township of Marion, County of Jasper, and State of Indiana, by Eldridge T.

MURDER OF MICHAEL SHAFFER.

On Tuesday, the 3d inst., Michae Shaffer, an old resident ot Newton county was found in Lis house dead, shot with two loads of buckshot, one taking .effect io the middle of the back, end going straight through, and the other striking uitn a short distance above and ranging upwards came out at the shoulder. The parties who fouud him, went to get him to attend the election. They reported the case at the polls and a a coroner's jury was at onee summoned who found Shaffer laying on hie side, with a dish rag grusped in one of his hands. From the manner in which he lay, it seems evident that the person who shot him came up to the door and deliberately fired two charges at him as ho eat on a box gfelfe-few. Jaek toward? the assassin, and that the first shot struck him about the middle of the back, and as he was falling, the second was fired. Either of the shots would have produced death. The Coroner’s Jury brought in a verdict that the “deceased came to his death by a gun-shot wound inflicted on him by one Frederick Tanner.” As near as we conld learn, the evidence asainst Tanner is merely circumstantial. It seems that a short time since, Tanner had a horse shot and accused Shaffer of shooting it, and attempted to get out a warrant for Shaffer’s arrest, but was dissuaded from it by the Justice who told Tanner that the evidence was not sufficient to convict him. Tanner then said that Shaffer should never.shoot another horse for him. There.were- tracks going to and from the house, that onr informant states correspond with the tracks made by the accused. Tanner was arrested and taken before Justice Harris, of Washington. township, Newton county, tin last Tuesday, when, upon motion, a continuance was granted the prisoner till Thursday (to-day), at which time preliminary examination will be had. Shaffvr fins long been known in this part of the State as a hardened criminal, hiving once served a term in the peuitentiaryJrom this county. His neighbors were all afraid of him on account of his desperate recklessness, ayd one and all seem to show no regret to think that he is out of the way of doing them harm, while at tho same time they do not want any leniency shown the man who could be guilty of an act of coldblooded murder. The accused, Frederick Tanner, is quite a young man, of rather prepossessing appearance, about, we should thinkj twenty-four or five years of age. He looks like anything but a man who would commit murder, and those who are acquainted with him say he would hardly do such a thing unless he was urged on by others. Note.—Since going to press we loam that Tanner is acquitted.

“Barrett’s” never fails.

A BASE SLANDER.

Rensselaer, Im>., I November JO, 1808. ) Messrs. James «fc HEAff.ty : Will you do us the favor to insert the following? Some evil disposed persons in the county of Jasper wishing to do us a private injury, but who arc afraid to burn otir property or make an attack upon our lives, have put a story in circulation in regard to us calculated to affect Our business and efeate bad feelings. They are telling tktit we discharged Enoch Pettit Jjoni our shop because «he voted the Democratic ticket Wo say the story is false and slanderous, and if any responsible man can be found by us that is so mean as to tell the story, we will sue him foe slander. The morning of the State election, Mr. Pettit told J. H: Vanatta, ir., that he would vote tl>c same ticket that ho did, and they both took Republican tickets and went to the polls and voted. Mr.-Pettit said, on returning, that he did vote the same ticket that John gave him. And we bebdieve he did so vote. —... We have too good an opinion of Mr. Pettit as an honorable man to believe that he would practice stiqli a deceit and wilfully lie when there Was no necessity for doing so. There never was an unkind word between us and Mr. Pettit. He left our shop of his own accord because we did not need him any longev at present. He has left our shop several limes When wc had no work for him, and came back again when we wanted him. And we expect him to work for ns again when we want him. We don’t proscribe men for their political opinions, and we could not do so in this case, because we believe Mr. Pettit voted just as we did. We refer the good people to Mr. Pettit, and are willing for him to tell his own story about the matter. There is be-tweea PdUVand. ua,. and those mean creatures who are secretly circulating this.slanderous stuff, are too mean to be worthy of notice. We hope our friends who have heard the story will do us the favfir to investigate the matter before they believe it. We can respect the brave man who will attack us openly, but we detest the mean, cowardly sneaks that will stab our character in the dark. J. R. Vanatta & Son. ■ : ***' —'— —“Barrett’s don’t” stain the skin or linen.

CHRONIC DISEASES.

A WAIF.

On Thursday last a little girl was brought to Rensselaer from Iroquois township, Newton county, as a poor person in need of support, whose legal settlement was supposed to be ini Marion township, in this county. Pur Trusfte would not receive her. She had been an inmate of the Catholic Orphan 2ksylum near town a few months, and they refused to take her back. The girl talked incoherently, and gave but little information concerning her home or friends. She says her brother and sister live near St. Louis, but does not know their address. She was taken back and will be cared for by Mr. Hess until her friends can be heard from.

ROADS.

The good people of Jasper county are wise in many things. In working the roads, however, wo think there is a mistake in time nnd manner. Our citizens by petition change the location of roads so often that much valuable labor is lost. The supervisors, instead of directing the hands to work the roads in May, so 4bat they may become solid before winter, have the work done late in autumn. The fall rains turn their beautiful pike into a sea of mortar. The science of making good roads ought to be studied by all candidates for the responsible office of Supervisor. * —"Barrett’s Vegetable Hair Restorative” took the First Premium over, all competitors at the New Hampshire State Fair. It stands confessedly without a rival throughput the country, and is driving alii other preparations from the market. I Philadelphia Public Ledger.
