Tire Valparaiso Vubttc is trying td rtead lion. Anson Wolcott out nf the parly. Hon. R. S. Dwiggin#, President of the Fort Wayne and Pacific ialll4iad»__ retnrncd from Canton, Ohio, on Tuesday evening and brings cheering news of the prospect at the eastern end of the route. The Winamac Democrat is opposed to the Fort Wayne and Pacific Railroad. If the people of Winamac don’t waul the rond they needn’t have it—there is room in the State to go round the town. ■ 1 < o •• • —■ — - Cheering news in Stark county concerning the Plymouth, Kankakee and Pacific Railroad. A correspondent- of the Ledger says the officers of the company will be enabled “io prosecute the work as soon as the vote of Washington, Wayne and Railroad townships is received.”

Anna B. White, of Northampton, Mass., through her attorneys, has sent a printed cinilar to our county Clerk inquiring whether her husband, DavidAVhitc, procured a divorce from her in any county in Indiana during the year 1868. David didn’t get his divorce in. this county. The gentle Anna had better go to Chicago. The dairy business is gradually being introduced into Jasper county and promises before long to become one of our most important branches of industry. Our soil is naturally calculated for stock raising and butter and cheesemaking, and as soon as transportation is secured for these products thousands of acres of wildlands which now find slow side nt three, five and seven dollars per acre will be converted into first class dairy farms. - - • *- The Winamac Republican in canvassing the candidates for State Senator from this District says “Jasper county will probably preftent the name of R. S. Dwiggins, Esq., but Jasper has no claim to tire office.” Well, has any county or any man any claim to any office? We don’t see that they can have in a government like ours. However, we presume, if the convention thinks Mr. Dwiggins is the ablest and most available man that, he will be nominated regardless of the fact that he is from Jasper county.

“The potato-bug, the most worthless, unprofitable, and cuss-provoking of all bugs has made its appearance, and we presume it will destroy this year’s crop. The potato bug can be fooled. Don’t i riant any ‘taters’ and starve the iltle striped back cuss to death.”— Anderton Herald. Altogether a mistake, this starving him . todeath. In gardens where tiiere has not been a potato planted for two years they are appearing by quarts and for want of potatoes they arc subsisting on jimp son w eed. Wo read that Paris green would destroy the Colorado bug. Having large credulity we bought some of the article—not tire latter, there are plenty of them to be found in the gardens, but some of the green —.made a strong solution of it in a Fprinkler and tried it. Those of the bngs ihatdidn’t keep on with their gating perched themselves upon the jjihopmost branches, placed their toes to thflir noses and whistled “shoo fly, don’t bother me.” Fact is the Paris green we tried had no more iflVct than w much water.

The Roeheftter Gnton .Spy entered upon its third volume, last Friday. It is a sprightly paper and deserves a liberal support. The Crawfordsville Review tells of a bass caught in Sugar Creek weighing 10 pounds and 7 ounces. We have not yet had sufficient, inducement to tell a bigger one. Hon. Win. D. Kelley, of Penn., has our thanks for his speech in favor of Protection, delivered in the House of Representatives March iith. His motto is “Farmers, Mo% chanics and Laborers need Protection—Capital can take care of itself.”

‘‘Thera was n fellow here with bis wagon on Friday from Jasper county, north of Rensselaer, to get a load of scrap iron, and he said it was ‘for the new railroad.’ He ihvested twenty-five cents, and one old hide in the enterprise, and says it is bound to go.”— Kentland Gaictte. The poor old man alluded to by the Gazette is insane, but some of his ideas arc amusin" and closely simulate sanil”, f Or instance: While at Mqi oCCo the day before, he wanted to bury up a drove of “yaller” -dogs and when asked what ho ’would do with them replied he would I “drive them to Kentland and trade them for town lots,”

The semi-annual session of the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Indiana, Convened at Indianpolis at 2 o’clock P. M *> on Tuesday, May 17th.— From the report of the Grand Master, we see that six new Lodges have been instituted in the State within the past six months and petitions were presented asking that five more be instituted. Since the last communication nineteen Rebecca Degree Lodges have been chartered, There are now 300 Lodges in good working order in the State with 17,823 contributing members. The Grand Lodge abolished the provision In the law making it necessary to serve as Recording Secretary before being eligible to fill the Vice Grand’s chair.

Mr. A. Irwin, formerly of Rensselaer, has our thanks for late Texas papers. Mr. Irwin is proprietor of the Concrete House, in Waco, Texas. We quote the following “local” concerning his enterprise, from the Waco Regittcr: “Mr. A. Irwin has leased the fine residence of Colonel G urley, -enThird street, including the extensive grounds, and will keep a fashionable boarding house and first class hotel. The house, which is a large one, and containing perhaps more rooms than any other in the city, is being finished and furnished in the best style. Mr. Irwin has had much experience in conducting hotels; at one*time he was one of the proprietors of the Southern Hotel at Memphis. He is a gentleman of real enterprise and will spare neither pains nor expense in making his establishment first class in all respects.” ■■ ■ 4 »” ■ 1 ■■ [For the Union.] On next Saturday week the republicans of Marion township will meet in mass convention to select delegates to attend the county convention. It has been suggested by some, and I think the suggestion a good one, that there be selected one delegate from each ward in Rensselaer, and that the remainder of the delegates (thirteen) be selected from the country, to be nominated by their neighbors. I think that this arrangement will be more satisfactory than any other. It will be seen by referring to the vote of this county in 1868, that Marion township cast 264 republican votes for Secretary of State;, of this number about 90 were cast by Rensselaer and the balance by the country. The above vote shows that Rensselaer would be entitled to six delegates, but I think it would be best to select delegates from all parts of the township in such a manner that their votes on the various candidates will clearly express the wishes of the people. Remember that with good men for delegates, a good ticket will be given us, the party strengthened and success will be sure. Republican.

Speaking of Norman Warner’s late advertisement declining the nomination to congress frdm this district the Winamac Republican says “Norm., as he is familiarly called by all who know him, is in the blacksmith and wagon making business at Rensselaer, and is withal one of the mostjovial and companionable men you will meet in a day’s travel, and thrns out as good a wagon as is made in the West”

Letter from Mr. R. B. James.

We take the liberty to publish the following extracts from a j>riprivate letter written by Mr. 11. B. James, a former citizen of thia place, and who is now journaying Kansasward. Thq letter is postmarked from Peoria, 111., and is dated ■Saturday, May 13th: “We camped on the east side of the Illinois river, at the lower ferry, east of Peoria, last night. Came over this morning and are now enmped on a small clear stream a couple of miles west of the city, where we expect to spend the coming Sabbath. As you know, we left Logansport on Tuesday, May 3d, and Remington on Friday, Slay Oth. Came to Goodland for dinner and at night staid a milo east of the State line. Found plenty of game—ducks, plover and various kinds of snipe, &c. Saturday night.stopped on Spring creek, seven miles east of -Gilman. We have been in some emrirt showers, but thg wagon covers are impervious to rain. The roads have been slippery in places. We have kept near the line of railroad and have been in but one bad plaae, this was a soft prairie. All of us are in good heart and health.

“As we were too late (sundown) for the ferry last night, tire boys indulged in angling, baiting with parts of birds, and caught eels—good fat fellows—and several catfish.— Our route from here is towards Farmington, Quincy, on the Mississippi, and thence perhaps to Boonville and Sedalia, andso on to Fort Scott. We expect it will take us five weeks yet. “On general subjects, I would say that the winter wheat crop about Monticello, and from there to Logansport, is in general a grand show. About Chatsworth in Livington county, 111., there are no fences. Thousands of acres of spring wheat are all run together, with no apparent division lines—and not an ox, hog or sheep to be seen—the crop looks splendidly.— Most" of the corn is already planted and much of it is up in good order. Near Chatsworth is a garden containing five hundred acres of beets in one patch. They were planted with machines about sixteen to twenty inches apart, I should think, and the rows of young plants could be seen for many rods from the road. A sugar factory is erected in the town whiejumanufactures sugar from these beets. They say the raw sugar has an acid taste when new, but will then sweeten flour for bread—when refined it is equal to any sugar made. Fruit looks well everywhere, and the prospect is fair for a full supply of all kinds. In the cattle region of Woodford county the best stock is the rednecked cattle with white or roan bodies, same as those in Jasper county. “Respects to all the friends.”

Children have measles in Winamac and give them around liberally. A reaping and mowing machine factory is talked of at South Bend. The Spiritualists are to hold a convention at Hobart beginning on the 27th. Ligonier, Noble county, boasts a peert and lively baby which w eighs only two pounds.
