Dog Taxes.

-The ptJiauapolia JmwmW *JvoOAlw the let ying of a national tex <foga for jllio following reaxotfs: *,*«• A b ’* cd ot *•4. Il weald guard Um aheep, thus foaterSQm prafiactwa as wool and increaaUg national reveaaa In that direction. I„, “3d. It would kdd to Um security and wealth at ttedfariaMa, who, in ahnoal evary u Mh It waald add directly, a handsome aaaa la the national teVenera.” That a tax of thia kind might be made to yield a largo revenue, no one will question, but would it be advieaMe to para each a law? Our taxea are already very heavy and perhaps bear with unequal weight upon the poor, yej. here is a paper aspiring to the state organ of a party yi/ieh professes to care especially for the interests and well being (4 the poorer class advocating np additional tax, as though those already borne were uot enough and altogether too much. And such a tax! The State tax ujton dogs already falls with tornble weight upon the poor individual who is the poraesKor of half a dozen of these .quadrupedal embodiments of fidelity and styi tliis poor man’s champion would pile Ossa upon Pelion Jby adding a national tax. Lot such a thing but once be ju-riously agitated by men of influence and such a storm of anathemas will bo hurled at the beads of its originators, from the ranks of both parties, as would cause the bravest to pause and tremble, for. will it not bo the cause of reducing persons who now scarcely know the comforts of life still lower down the declining plane of poverty jiresaing to their unwilling lips the >ha!ice until it is drained to the bitterest dregs? Bat they need not keep dogs if they do not wish to bo taxed? Ayo there's the rub! They can not, will not give up their dogs; and the more cur the more attached Is his owner. The owner may give

up his wife, Id, horse, yes, even ‘((art jrith clothing himself with the resignation and delusion of martyrdom, but his mangy, snarling, thievish fisto, never. ' ujUl the breed of the several species? Seldom. Nomatter how mndh may be assessed 'mean dogs can’t Ate taxed out of existence neither ean the breeds be Improved by the collection of rev4eiiuo, for as generation after generAtfou ot poverty stricken, shiftless people are born, live and die, transmitting from father to son and son to grandson, the same vices, peculiarities and habits, so long will generation after generation of worthless canines be brought forth, petted and mourned. We have knowu men who were accounted, by those who were not admirers of dogs, to be poor in this world's goods, who owned from six to $ dozen yelping half starved jbrutes, good for nothing under the £un, yet tjiey <eon)d not be induced .to part .one of them. A tax would 1 bread from the families of won but would Jpci,ther decrease ip?r Jup jurors their worthless dogs. In the name of the owners of dogs in America, and in behalf of the dogs themselves, wp enter our solemn protest against the passage of a national dog tax law.

Our Railroad.

Last Wednesday the surveying corps of the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago Railroad passed through thisplace homeward bound, having run the preliminary line through to the State boundary. Wo understand the corps has been disbanded. The Indianapolis Journal gays, (wo presume officially) that “pojppefont officers will at once proc coil to make the estimates for construction, and no doubt the prosecution of the enterprise will be pushed forward with retiojvpd energy.’’ There is a strong dcterim inatiou on the part of the people along the line of this road to build it and they intend to use every exertion to accomplish their end. Wo think the prospect at present indicates that work may be commenced on the road bed next summer at the farthest.

Railroad Prospects.

As will be seen by posters around town, a meeting has been called at Rochester on the 30th Inst., to organize a company to build a railroad from Kort Wayne, via Rochester, Winamac, Rensselaer and Morocco, to the State Line, there to connect with the Muscatine, Kcwana & Eastern Railroad. The M. K. AE. Company has been organized for some time now, and secured, by county am! town donations, about half a million dollars, or enough to secure its construction from Muscatine, lowa, to the State line of Indiana. Tills company Is now seeking an outlet through Indiana to the east, and if sufficient encouragement is not afforded tlicru on tliis line they will seek some other. Meetings nave already been held at Knox and Plymouth to secure the road through those places, via Momence and the north part of Jasper county. The Illinois Company assure us that their portion of the road will be built, if so it will be built through Indiana on some line; hut it will take a united effort along the Rensselaer and Rochester line to secure it, the Plymouth line being some fortymiles the shortest. Fulton county pledges herself to raise SIOO,OOO, Ft. Wayne pledges an equal amount, Newton county pledges herself to raise a sufficient amount to grade, tie aud bridge the road through her limits, and we have no doubt but that Jasper will do the same. About $45,000 would be ample to do this, and that amount can certainly be raised In the county. If Allen and Fulton counties redeem their pledges, and wo believe they will, we can see no reason why this road cannot be built and tliat speedily. In fact, notwithstanding the fair prospects of the I. D. A C. Company, we would not be surprises! if the first train run into Rensselaer, on, or near, the old A. C. route. Bpeakiug of the I. D. A C- reminds us that a few of our citizens are exult- ■ Ing, and some of them are despondent at the assumed fact this project is dead. We can see no reason [for doubting a moment but Unit this road will be built. We are assured, by those who know, that SSOO,(XX) will secure this road. There has already been raised $28(1,000, leaving yet to be subscribed. To cover this deiieiency we have the following pledges: Lake couutys 50.000 Jasper “ 35.000 White •* 100,000 Cliutou “ 60,000 Boouc ♦* .....’ 50.000 Total $295,000 Already raised 284,000 Total... >579,000

So that without counting Indianapolis anything, or anything additional from Carroll county', we have a margin of $79,000. We do not doubt for a moment but that each of these counties will raise the amounts estimated, consequently we look upon the I- |D. A C. as being out of the ■woods. We suggest that a meeting be called at the Court House on Saturday, the 27tli innt., to elect' delegates to the Rochester meeting and to instruct them as to what Jasper county will do for the enterprise. We need two roads as much as wedoone, andshouldmake as strong and as united an effort to secure the second as the first. We cannot see that a movement now, in favor of the Ft. Wayne project, can injure prospects of the Delphi road in the least, and beside that we must move now in the east and west road, as others <re moving. A company will J?g organized at Rochester on the aud if we are not represented in the meeting we will not be in the company^-but will be at their mercy’ to make such exactions as they please. Let every body come out then to the meeting on the 27th, and let there be a full attendance of people from the country’ esjieclally Gillam and Hanging Grove townships, which are largely interested in this project.

INDIANA MATTERS.

The Greencastle nail factory is turning out nine hundred kegs of nails a week An interesting revival of religion* is in progress at Otwell, Dubois county, in the Methodist Church. One firm in Franklin has shipped 19,281 pounds of butter and 20,674 dozen eggs during the past year. Mrs. Asenath Clark, ninety years old, preached twice to the Friends in Richmond, Ind., Sunday before last Johnsbn county has a man wljose foot is of the.folfowing dimensions: 13 inches lopg, inches wide and 8$ inches high. A reliable “old woman’’ has counted the snows of the coining Winter, and says there will be nineteen. — Plymouth Republican. The Cawfordsvillc Journal says Wabash College has six acting Professors, and. has within the last decade given twenty-three graduates to the ministry. The hogs in thia county arc discouraged by their inability to see their usual allowance of coni and l>otatocs. The farmers propose to cheer their drooping spirits with Wheat. The hogs in town will be treated as family “-pets,” ami be supplied with the crumbs that fall from their masters table.— Plymouth. Republican. ' ' v >

Judge Chapman has given bis consent to a request that lie should preside at the trial of three men in Newton county, eltargcd with murder, which is to come o< in December. —S . St -® Mifton Thompson, oat west of town lost one thousand bushels of potatoes by the late cold snap. Jim Thompson lost six hundred bushels, and Mr. Halsey, down in the Gibson neighborhood, lost five hundred bushels. These potatoes were dug aud lying on tbe ground. The loss qf potatoes throughout the county will be considerable.— rtymoulh Republican. At the office of Dr. Hatch may be seen preserved in alcohol a young pig, perfectly developed, eight legs, four ears, three eves and two snouts, all complete. It is a curiosity, well worth preserving and seeing. It must be a lineal descendant of the species spoken of in the Bth chapter of Luke, 33d verse, if indeed, any escaped drowning in the lake.— Kentland Gazelle. The trial of Earney, the Terre Haute policeman who shot and nearly killed two editors in that city, named Smith and Brown, was concluded on Wednesday, so far as the charge of shooting Mr. Smith is concerned. His punishment is a fine of SIOO and imprisonment for thirty days. He is yet to be tried for the shooting of Mr. Brown, but we question the policy of putting the county to the trouble and expense for so small an affair. Shooting people in Indiana is getting to be regarded as a pleasant sport, and the only way to award punishment is by “shooting back.”— Exchange.

The Mammoth Jewelry House of G. H. Hull.

In response to an invitation from Mr. G. H. Hull, our city jeweler, we treated ourselves, a few days since, to an inspection of his stock of rich wares tn gold aud silver, and we confess to a feeling of great surprise at its extent and variety, no less than the fine quality of goods which ho hero finds a market for. Those whose memory o f the jewelry business runs back only ten year*, will call to mind tho almost utter want of teste and style which then prevailed, and that It was then necessary to send East for nice goods; aud such can but feel gratified tliat they can now find at home the largest and richest variety of goads for use and ornamentation. The sMthrtis part of our natures—that which beautifies and adorns, aud surrounds us with the inarlis of taste aud culture, receives more and more attention as we grow in wealth and culture. Hence the increased demand for, and Mr. Hull's efforts to supply a Hne of goods corresponding with thia advancement. Wafouud a line of ladles’aud geutlemsu’s gold watches, equal in extent to the stocks kept by the largest houses in the West, ranging in value from S3O currency up to S2OO and S3OO gold, it may uot be generally knowu that a good gold watch for ladies' use, of fine quality aud reliable time, ca n be had at Mr. Hull's at s4o,ssoaud S6O- The new feature—stem winding or keyless ualcites—he keeps in good supply; aud though expensive, yet being of first-class manufacture, they meet with ready sale.— His stoek of American watches, of all the best manufactures, is very large, and alway s sold at closest prices. The absurdity of supposing that auy oi the leading houses of New York can offer better inducements than Mr. Hull, is made evident by the fact that Mr. Hull’s current rates are lower than the prices advertised by tliese bouses. We saw a stock of Indies' and geutiemeu’s gold chains, worth from sls up to $l5O each, that would please the taste of the most exacting, lu jewelry we found fine imported pink corals, Bohemian garnets, American manufactures of gold etruscau, frosted aud engraved sets, lockets aud cliarms, now so fashionable, wedding aud engugemeut rings, choice bracelets, gents’ seal rings, shirt studs, pins, and many other beautiful and desirable articles of ornamentation.

The slock of solid silver ware, guaranteed in ail respects as line as manufactured in this country, and bearing Mr. Hull’s stamp on each spoon, fork, &.C., is so large thut we know it would surprise many who have made no examination. Here is your place it you want to revel in visions ol beautiful bridal fifts, and especially if you want your visions realized. <Combinations of silver ware, ia cases, for holiday and wedding presents, abound. A feature in this connection is that every article sold is engraved, if desired, free of cost. There are many patterns very desirable, but they must be seen to be appreciated. Probably no improvement of modern times in the way of table-ware, ornamental and useful, has been so marked with the approval of the public, as that in tine electro-plate ware. Embracing as it does richly chased tea acts, ice water sots, berry dishes, castors, cake baskets, fruitstands, butterdishes.syrup cups, fine table cutlery, spoons, forks, &c., it meets the requirements of the fastidious housewife, aud cultivates a seuse of beauty, that in solid siver would requite half a fortune to purchase, and strong boxes to protect from those who covet their ueighbol s’goods There were many items of interest connected with Mr. Hull's establishment, which,’ if space allowed, we should like to mention. His stock of Seth Tiiomas ds French cl ecks, geld, silver aud steel spectacles, is large, as is his stock o f gold, silver and ivory-headed canes, fine opera ' glasses, dtc. There are hundreds of things one might fancy as a gilt to a friend during the coming holidays, a time when Mr. Hull's clerical force is taxed to the utmost to wait upon customers. In wutch work, none but competent and experienced workmen are employed. Mr. Hull himself Is a practical watchmaker, built from the ground up, we might say, having commenced the business in his thirteenth year. Right here is a point that many do not consider. Where do yon leave your watch for repairs? 1. it safe over night? This is an important consideration in leaving valuable goods for repairs. Mr. Hull has the largest burglar and fire-proof safe to be found in any jewelry establishment in the Went. In conclusion, we attribute his great success to enterprise, a knowledge of his business, and capital ample to carry it on; and we can unhesitatingly my that yours is no misplaced confidence If you buy your goods during the coming holidays, or at any time, of the proprietor of the jewelry establishment at 86 Main Street, LaFayetle, Indiana. His prices are dose and low, and hrs ‘goods are every whit as good as the best. Oa Doeember 13 bio stack of diamonds, ($30,000 worth), selected with eqpecisU reference to the holiday trade, will be opened.— They will be well worthy the inspection of those who contemplate such an ierue fount —LeFofctta Journal.
