LOCAL MATTERS.

Thursday, June 23d, 1870.

Splendid new honey sells for ,20 cents per pound. Thermometer up among the nineties the first of this week. Hon. Schuyler Colfax and lion. I). 1). Pratt have our thanks for recent congressional documents. Jim Maloy’s bay Star Davis, beat Jake Sell’ll black mare last Saturday m a halt mile dash Under saddle, for 120. It m said that the town marshal intends to up-end the ditch on A an Itcnsaelacr street and make an artobiati Well of it as soon as it i» Walled. Wo have only space to direct attention to the advertisements of Common Sense Sowing Machine, and Egg Preserver in another column. Blue huckleberries are being brought into market. fltcy aic very nice and sell for GJ to 8| cents a quart. The crop is said to be immense this season. The trustees of Weston Cemetery have given public notice by posters that they will offer the lots nt auction, week from next Saturday commencing at ten o clock A. M. Charley Starr's new soda fount is all the attraction. It cost 8125 ami makes the fizzing beverage taste good deal better—more aristocratic and recherche. Call and see it and patronize it. ■ - -r‘s We shall not issue the .Union next week until Friday that We may be able to give a report of the proceedings at the Wanatah convention for the nomination of a candidate for congress. Mr. J. C. Faris, of Medaryville, writes to us that he has made arrangements by which delegates attending the Wanatah convention arc taken up and returned for half fare on the 28th and 20th. Mr. Andrew Satehell presented us with a nice mess of new potatoes, day before yesterday; they were of the Goodrich variety and very fine. He has our thanks, lie also showed us specimen heads of the Michigan red wheat that were large and plump.

We learn that Mr. Geo. M. Smith la suggested by prominent republicans as a suitable-candidate of Jasper county.—lt is understoo«l that the convention left the Domination tor this office with the central committee, but as the report of its proceeding furnished us by the secretary did not so state we suppose tire people can ■decide the matter for themselves. Mr. Smith is a school teacher, is said to be a practical surveyor ami hio doubt would make an efficient officer. It is perhaps unnecessary to add that he is a sound republican. & - «•» We are requested to announce that Re v. D. W. Hull will lecture in the Court House at 101 o’clock Sunday morning upon the text “What think ye of Christ?” and at 8 o’clock in the evening upon *‘What is. and what is not, religious worship.” Mr. Hull also proposes to discuss this proposition before the public with any person ■who will meet him: ‘ There is a spirit in man which is conscious after the death of the body, and ■which can hold intercourse with men in the earth-life;” he to take the affirmative. „ -—■ ——--4 In this issue of our paper will be found an advertisement furnished by Mr. Livengood, who, it seems, has been commissioned by the Vermillion circuit court of this State, to sell at public auction, a certain body of desirable lands, situated in the northern part of this county, belonging to the heirs of John Davidson, deceased. The sale will take place at the door of the Court House, in Rensselaer, on Thursday, the 21st ■day of July, and those who want a bargain will do well to attend.— Read the advertisement, it speaks for itself.

Phrenological Lectures.

Dr. T. S. Andrews and wife commenced a course of lectures in the Court House yesterday evening, which will be continued each evenzing through the week. Each afternoon at 2 o’clock Mrs. Andrews Sectmres to the ladies on health and the diseases of women. This, 'Thursday, evening, the 'Doctor’s subject is “Intellect and Memory,” with a practical treatise on physiognomy, or how to read character from the facial features—-tho eyes, nose, hands, hair, ears, mouth, lips, chin, &c. These lectures arc illustrated with an elaborate gallery of paintings, portraits of historical characters, &c. Descriptive delineations of character will be given at the close of each lecture. Single admission to the evening lectures, 10 cents; to thß afternoon lectures, 15 cents. Ticletr for ike full course, 50 cents, if purchased this evening.

Letter from Mr, R. B. James.

Section, 10, town 20, range 5, Washington township; Crawford county*, Kansas, Sunday, June 12, 1870. ’ i ’Wc came here last Friday evening. Nearly all the land in, this regton is either “prc-cliumyd’’ by sharks or taken by settlers. 1 here is scarcely a house about here that is more than three years old and nearly all have been built since last June. The “sharks” had it all thenown way until this spring. Now, organizations of settlers protect the “squatters” or “jumpers” on shark’s claims. Shark’s claims are where the first comers laid down three rails, drove a stake with initials and date and called it a house. — Some of them had thirty or inorc of these claims and charged settlers from S2O to S2OO, but ns settlers camo in faster these claims fell in value until now those who “squat” on them oiler to, pay the actual cash value of the improvements, and no more. Some take this grumblingly and give quitclaim deeds and possession, others hang back, threaten the law and get nothing. Two years ago the sharks would have mobbed them off but such a course is not safe now. Our family is very well. All of us have stood the journey admirably. The roads were good all the way. Altogether we did not have five miles of muddy roads. In Missouri there are some long hills and occasionally sharp pitches.— Saw Mr. Warner and Air. Trent at Fort Scott. Camped near Mr. Cart's and used water from his well one night. The expenses of moving were much more than I expected as every thing -had been run up to an artificial value by the press of immigration last fall, though everything is plenty at the prices asked, The country here, and far many miles back,- is beautiful rolling prairie underlaid with a stratum of good shell limestone, then freestone, then coal. We need no timber—a- every farm has coal enough for hundreds of families, and hedge or sod will make all the fences required —except lor building, which, of course, must come from timbered countries. The springs and creeks lire all bordered with timber, but these narrow belts would amount to nothing were it not for the wasteful abundance of three veins of coal cropping out at the ravines or hillsides, or found two, eight or thirty feet down on level lands. The cactus, or prickly pear, grows here with double pink, yellow, maroon and white, flowers.The erawfoot moss bearing light pink flowers in cultivation with you grows wild here in large patches at the coal out-croppings. Early this spring oats were injured by drought. Some early ones are short but heavy headed. Wheat is ripe and harvesting begun. The crop-is ±i , cincnd.ous E i = - I‘eople are still planting corn on , sod as they break it. On old land ZcornTisjiearfy up to a nntn’s shoulders. The prevailing grass is bluejoint, blue-stem, or blue sedge (all■ the same thing) and grows the year j round. It is the common wild up- j land grass of Jasper county, but ■ grows much ranker here than there, some of the seed stalks, we are told, attaining ten or twelve feet in height. It is very wet. —that is, there are frequent showers—here now and for three weeks past which has raised the Missouri hnd all the streams this side.

There is said to be some game and fish here. We hear prairie chickens, quails and plover, see deer and wolves, and are told of turkeys squirrels, &e., indeed squirrels, rabbits, chickens, plover, quails and fish have been frequent on our table. A drove of 150 horses passed hqre this week-from Texas destined to Nebraska ami, Colorado. They were priced at from sls to S6O per head and some of them were as good as half the horses in Jasper county. If that, sounds invidious use Indiana or Illinois instead. Expect to mail this at Mulberry Grove postoffice. Respect to friends.

Found-Money.

I have found some money, which the owner can have, by describing ami paying fiftv cents for this no-

A Bargain in Land. Between the hour* of 10 o’clock a. M., and 4 o’clock P. M, on Thursday the 21st Day of July, 1870, At the door of the Court House, in the town of Rensselaer, county of Jasper, and State of Indiana, I will olfer at public anolion, the following described real estate, belonging to the heirs of John Davidson, deceased, and situate in Walker township, in said county, to-wit: The southwest quarter, also tho southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of Sec, 7, Tp. 31, north of Range 6 west; and also the northwest quarter of Sec. 18, same township and range, containing, in all, 340 acres. Tho Circuit Court of Ve-million county, Indiana, at its February term, 1870, upou hearing the petition of Wm. D. Lindsey, el. al , in a cause of exparte partition, appointed me special commissioner to sell tho same.— Said land will be offered in parcels to suit purchasers, and being situated near the proposed Plymouth, Knnkakee and Pacific Railroad, and being surrounded by well improved farms and tho rich deposits of iron ore that abounds in that locality, it will afford u raro opportunity to men of moderate means to secure desirable homes. _ This land was purchased some 15 years ago by Mr. Davidson for the purpose of making a stock farm,but his death soon after, defeated that object, nnd it lias since been held by his heirs, iu common, in its original wild state. There are some 40 or 50 acres of good timber on it, and the balance is prairie, nearly ail es which is dry arable land that can be farmed without ditching. My want of familiarity with the land and its surroundings, prevents reference ta other local advantages that doubtless exist, and which would contribute to the inducements already mentioned. The future prosperity, however, that is looming up in the near future, must reveal to the dullest mind that money now invested in real estate in the county of Jasper, cannot fail, in a few years, to be increased many fold. The railroads and other public improvements that arc in progress must very soon develop tho many natural advantages it possesses and thus enrich the owners of real estate and add to the general wealth and prosperity of the county. In view of these prospects, now is the time to invest, and the purchaser of the above described lands will secure a bargain, that in all probability, will never again be realized in Jasper county. The chain of title is clear and unincumbered and the conveyance will be made in fee simple. TERMS. —One-half cash and one-half in six months, wi'hout interest. Deed to be executed on full payment. WM. E. LIVENGOOD, 2 39-3 t. ' Commissioner. Rensselaer, Indiana, Juno 22, 1870.
