Rev. J. H. Cissell recently said in a sermon at Son'll Rend, “When 2 hear any one say ’every man has his pnee- or-tt an-be bought for money, I feel sure that I atli listening to a villain.” Brother CisselPs head is pretty nearly level on that subject Crown Point papers, jealous of the widespread fame of South Behff. Tiave unearihed ir~citrzcTi ~ of their place who was also once swindled by Oakes Ames, King of Credit Mobiliers. C. P. wants $7 worth of glory placed to her credit for this circunistanceEifihty -five years ago last Monday the first permanent settlement of whites was made in the then Northwestern Territory, which has since been Cut tip into the great States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. In the winter of 1799-1800 the Territory of Indiana was organized and Gen. William Ilenry Harrison, afterwards President of the United States, was appointed Governor. Will C. Moreau— Major Will C. Moreau — Will C. Moreau the great organizer for Indiana of the last summer’s Straight-out Democratic movement —the identical Will C. Moreau who wis editor of the Logansport Sun and was shot by Judge Dykeraan last fall—has turned up in Atlanta, Georgia, where lie has been acceptably proaching to the Christian Church, and negotiating for a fourth wife. Mrs. Workman, wife of Rev. T. C. Workman, formerly pastor of the M, E- Church at this place, is under arrest iu Illinois charged with murder. The story is that Workman was to.o intimate with a widow of Lis flock; Mrs. W. was jealous, met her husband’s paramour and killed her. So far as elicited the evidence has been circumstantial and not sufficient to convict Mrs. W.' of murder. But the infidelity of Workman seems to be established. Since tho foregoing was in type Mrs. Workman has confessed to the killing and says it was done in selfdefense. Her victim was Mrs. Hedges. State Attorney General Denny will soon commence suits, the Indianapolis Journal reports, against parties in possession of the Beaver Lake lands in Newton county, ostensibly to recover them for the um of the State, though possibly to quiet title in its present occupants. There is about 8,000 acres of this land, which was formerly covered with water, but was drained by the State several years ago, and now produces valuable crops of cons, oats, wheat, potatoes, etc.— Persons who owned property that bordered the lake, followed up its receding waters when it was drained and seized possession under riparian rights. The Attorney General now claims that the State still owns these reclaimed tracts,--ne ver having transferred her title. The occupants claim that the State never had any title as the land had never been snrveyed, i it being an impassable marsh, and the general Government eould only convey surveyed lands. If th« suits are decided in favor of the State there will yet remain a question whether the property belongs to the State proper under the old Virginia grant, or whether it belongs to the school fund of Indiana under a recent act of Congress whereby the United States relinquishes her possession to all lands within the State for the benefit of its eoqunon school fund. However these questions may be decided the possession of the disputed territory promises ultimately to cost its final occupants all it is worth.
