THE ttwauh IMION. Thursday,Febmaiy 18, 1874

The 45th Representative District of Indiana is ctmiposed of the counties of White »hd Jasper, with n voltag jrtpMlation of 4,128 and a majority of 450. 0 Dexton, Jasper, Newton and ; White counties make the 24th j Senatorial District of Indiana. At; last election the aggregate vote of these four counties was 7,048, with «. Republican majority of 952 for Secretary of State. The Tenth Congressional District of Indiana, is composed of the following counties: NAM*. rorVLATION. VOtK.

Mb. A. T. Whittlesey, a Democratic editor who once invited a “d—d nigger” to his parlor,-table and bed, and to associate with his family, is favorably mentioned by the South Bend vnion for the Democratic nomination tor Sccretarj of State. John B. Stoll, editor of the Ligonier Bunner, who for several months labored under the hallucination that Indiana was chiefly inhabited liy ‘‘mules’’ because he was election, is said to be pressing for a renomination by the Democracy. Mr. Thomas Davis, of Brookston, White county, whose talent lor telling smutty stories places him without a peer in Hoosierdom, is ta’ked of by admirintr friends for a place on the Democratic ticket a* their candidate for Treasurer of State. A somewhat singular circumstance is observed about all the names thus far mentioned by the Democracy for Slate officers, and that is, the absence of Liberal Republicans, Granger* and farmers from the list.. But The best laid schemes of mice and men, Aft gang ag'.eg, * and there yet may be hope for the Sons of Toil and the Children of Reform.

INDIANA GOSSIP.

Winamac buyers are paying 60 vents a bufehel for corn. A cigar factory at Winamac gives employment to six hands. Pulaski county farmers report their wheat looking badly winter*, killed. Gen. Ben. Spooner has been ’recommissioned United States Marshal for Indiana. The wheat in low grounds is said to have been injured, to some extent— Brookston Reporter. The Laporte Argus says that whooping cough has invaded nearly every household in that city. N. R Freeman, of Winamac, has a fife his father made in 1808 and fought the bloody Britshers with in 1812. There are now 377 prisoners in the northern penitentiary. This is the largest number ever confined there at one time. „ One man at Crown Point, Mr. Z F. Somers, last year bought and shipped 291 car loads of grain, for which he paid $45,100. A Starke county grand jury has found two indictments against Mr. Musselman, editor of the Knox Ledger, for signing petitions for license to sell intoxicating liquor, he not being a resident of the county.• A Mishawaka man recently gave a justice of the peace $25 in order hot to have any fuss about a sawbuck and a few small potatoes tlfStt he borrowed from a neighbor one night recently, without consent, and forgot to return. A Pulaski county woman exhorts her sisters, through the Winamac Republican, to show the world that they have minds which can be “elevated at least one degree superior to the dumb creation, or above the culinary and millinery range.” The Delphi Times of last week saj?b, “There seems to be a general ■ disposition manifested to make aj forward movement on the work of the Chicago & South Atlantic Railroad by the first of April. President Haymond has issued a call to the counties on the line to go to work and finish raising their quotas, as the company wants to commence work, early in the spring. In a few weeks the work of soliciting subacriptiou will be commenced in earnest in this county.”

Duiirtg 1873, eighty-two counties 1 reported to Attorney General Denny an entry of fines to the amount of 118,812.59, and of forfeitures of $25,345. Of these sums, Jasper county received credit for $lB9 on account of fines, and SBOO on account of forfeitures. The late high water in the Iroquois washed the north bank of the river where the Timinou’s t bridge rested last week till one span ofthe bridge .gave way and fell. That bridge of course cannot be crossed until repaired, which will hardly b? before spring.—Kentland Gazette. A protracted meeting is in progress al Battle Ground, under the control of the Methodists. About forty persons had united with the church at last accounts, and the interests seems to be unabated. The services are conducted by Rev. Mr. Deinott, assisted byßevs. Beckner and Hull.— Brookston Reporter. , --S The no fi fire-proof vaults for the books of the Clerk have been finished inside and are both handsome, convenient and safe. The improvement is money well invested by the county. The records are now perfectly safe from fire, and these two vaults are not only safer, but have cost the county less than one iron safe, and have ten times the capacity.— Kentland Gazette. The Winamac Democrat says that prayer meetings and preaching were held at the Methodist Church in that place for three consecutive weeks, part of the time night and -morningr-wiiKout ~;i~cbnversi(m ing made. And this Democratic paper, edited by a member of the Camphellite faith, scoffingly asks, “What is the matter with the sinners? Is this, too, a result of the Grange Movement?” Gen. M. D. Manson, ofl Crawfordsville, Gen. I. B. Foley, of Greensburg, and Hon. John Brownfield, of South Bend, have been appointed by Governor Hendricks as commissioners to assess the value of the real property of Benton county in the town of Oxford, Indiana, the removal of the county seat from Oxford to the town of Fowler in said county having been ordered. —lndianapolis Journal. Charles Hoover, aged 14, living near the State line in Lake county recently met his death in a singular manner. He was playing in the kitchen, and in the course of his antics placed his head through what is termed a “roller towel”— a towel hung on a roller—when he slipped and was caught by the neck. When liberated he was dead—his neck was broken.

Gottleib Heine, a butcher living at Hanover, Lake county, put his butcher knife into the inside pocket of Lis coat, point upwards, after butchering for a neighbor the other day, and got into a wagon to ride home. On the way the team ran into a ditch and precipitated Heme from his seat, who fell in such a manner that the knife penetrated through his side into an artery, causing him to bleed to death in twenty minutes. For the year ending November Ist, 1873, the Executive Department of Indiana issued eight proclamations, one hundred and seventy commissions to State, county and district officers, eight hundred and eleven commissions to justices of the peace, fifty-seven to cemmiss ioner s o f deeds, and eigh t hundred and sixty-seven to notaries public. There were also issued thirty-five warrants and fifty-eight requisitions for fugitives from justice, sixty-three pardons, twenty-one remissions, and seventy-seven patents for land. There were filed in the office of Secretary of State one hundred and fifty .articles of incorporation, amendments and consolidations.

A FrSheesville dispatch to the daily papers says that a terrible accident occurred six miles east of there, last Sunday. As near as can be gathered the facts are that four persons had seen the track of a deer, armed themselves.with double-bar-relled shot guns, and on that morning started out to hunt it. The persons, were Thomas Mills, B. F. Lincoln, L. Hurley, and a German whose name was not known. After going a short distance, Hurley was sent back to the house, to watch at the south side, and to come to his comrades, if they called. The other three then went on and soon came upon the deer. Lincoln attempted to fire r but his gun snapped, when Mills said: “Kneel down:, let me give hinx a shot.” Lincoln did so, and Mills fired one barrel,’but failed to bring the deer, and it started ip a circle that brought Lincoln directly in line, and just, as Mills

pulled the trigger of his second barrel, Lincoln raised high enough to receive its contents in his head. Six buckshot entered the left side, back of lhe ear, tore the whole front of his face in a dreadful manner, and caused his death in about ten minutes. He was a single man, twenty-one years of age. Mills is nearly crazy, and is watched to prevent self-destructioHj Which he lifts once or twice attempted. A Vandersypt was last week the proud owner of a cow possessed of one of the most inordinate appetites of which we have ever heard The cow had been unwell for some time and getting no better was killed. A ‘postmortem examination developed the fact—that the cow had, some time or other, dissipated on a hardware diet, and in her stomach was found a general assortment of hardware, consisting of nails, knife blades, wire,etc. Some of the nails had evidently been eaten several years since, for they were worn and bright with friction. One piece of . wire had lodged in her throat, and imbedded itself to a considerable depth.— Where the animal got her appetite for hardware, and where she obtained the stock, Is a mystery. — Mishawaka Enterprise.

Chicago & South Atlantic Railroad.

We are informed by the President of this road that it is the matured determination of the Company to commence work on this great ! enterprise in this State in the spring the different ~cquhL ties are raised against that time, lie says the ,stock must be raised against the first of spring, if possible. This ought to satisfy everybody that the Managers of the C. & S. A. R. R. are in earnest and mean business. All doubting about the success of the scheme should be banished. The right way to solve doubts is to go to .work and. raise the material aid that has been pledged. It is time that the idiotic excuse “We would go to work if we were certain the road would be built’’ should be banished. No people who act upon this senseless J principle ought to "have a railroad. I A mud road ora dog path would ■ be good enough for them. If the stock is raised in Indiana that has been pledged, or a sum approximat. ingtliat amount, and made secure, > the road will as certainly be built I as it is safe to calculate that any' matured plan will be carried into operati on inthefut ur e. Th o C. <fc S. R. R. Company is urging the Indiana branch of the enterprise to get ready—waiting upon them in ' fact, so that they can break ground in the spring. The C. & 8. A. R. R. Company is bound under a strong, written contract to* build i the Indianapolis, Delphi Chicago Road, to commence work this very season in earnest, and are now depending upon the fulfillment of j qur part of the contract. Can this be done by folding our arms and doubting? It can not. If we get the road, we will get it by giving some of our money to aid it, and by our unceasing personal forts.——This road will be worth millions of dollars to the people, is of vital necessity to the section of country traversed by its line. The future prosperity of our town and county, as well as other towns and counties, depend upon its constructipidkThe wealth it will add to the towm aW county within five" years will incalculably greater than all the aid asked of us. It is the best investment the people of this county can ever make. It is an investment where profit will be many hundred fold. What signifies a tax of two per cent in a township or county when the wealth of these municipalities will be increased from ten to twenty-five per cent, within one year after the road is built—doubled or quadrupled in a few years more. This road will give us immediately two important markets, both within convenient distances—Chicago and Indianapolis. Besides these we

will have a new route to thejsea—-a southern and trans-Atlantic market for all our surplus produce. And further, the L, D. & C. R. R. will open anew connecting line to New York, via Indianapolis. The official managers of the enterprise now assure us that all is right and that the road will' be built it those ft ho have heretofore “talked railroad” wilf talk and act now in earnest. No responsibility, in case of failure, can attach to the officers of the L, D. &C., or the C. & S. A. whemit is a little too late, what they The building of the road is a question now for the people to determine. The call has now been made to every county from Illinois State |

line to the Ohio river to move at once in this matter. Those communities that dd not undertsand this plain talk, and will not act at once, will learn, probably are likely to draw. Countits and townships intending to vote a tax, should present their petitions to the Boards of County Commissioners without material delay. No money will be required on stock subscriptions until the work has been commenced. — Monticello Constitutionalist.

The Australian Fever Tree.

A question of considerable general interest was recently discussed at a meeting of the French Academy of Sciences. The subject was the remarkable sanitary influence of the eucalyptus glohulus, when planted in marshy grounds; and the tree, in brief, it seems, has the curious and valuable power of destroying the.malari.ous element in any atmosphere where it grows. The species is indigenous to Tasmania, and is known among the colonists by the name of the Tasmanian blue gum tree, on account of its dark bluish tinged leaves.— Growing in the valleys and on thickly wooded mountain slopes, it often attains a hightof from 180 to 220 feet, with a circumference of trunk of from 32 to 64 feet. The foliage is thin and oddly twisted, surmounting, with a thin crown, the top of the pi 11 ar-1 ik e them, TlitT wood exhales an aromatic odor, and } after seasoning, is said to be incorruptible. For this reason, it is largely used in the building of piers, vessels, and other structures exposed to lhe ravages of the weather. It is largely exported, to themggregate value, an authority states, of $4,000,000 per year. To the peculiar camphor-like .odor of the leaves and the large absorb! ion of water by the roots is doubtless owing the fact of the beneficial influence of the tree. — it is thickly planted in marshy tracts, the subsoil is said to be drained, as if by extensive pip- . big. Miasma ceases, we are told, wherever the eucalyptus flourishes. It has been tried for this purpose ■at the Cape; and, within two or i three years, completely changed the climatic condition of the un- , healthy parts of that colony. — . Somewhat later, its plantation was undertaken, on a large scale, in va- ( rions parts of Algiers, situated on . the banks of a river, and noted for ! its extremely pestilential air; about 13,000 eucalypti were planted.ln the sain,e year, at the time when the fever season used to set in, not a \ single case occurred, yet the trees were not more than nine feet high. Since iminunity from fever has been maintained. In the neighborhood of Constantins, it is l also stated, was ano'therjioted fever spot, covered with marsh water both in winter and summer; in five ! years*, thp whole ground was dried up by 14,000 of these trees, and farmers and children enjoy excellent health. Throughout Cuba, marsh diseases are fast disappearing from all the unhealthy districts where this tree has been introduced. A station house, again, at one end of a railway viaduct in the department of the Var, was so pestilential that the officials could not be kept there longer than a year; forty of the trees were planted, and it is now as healthy as any other place on the line. - Careful experiments Irave proved ’that, in a- med icinal preparat ion, it cure's the worst cases of intermittent fever, against which quinine proves powerless. It is also valuable as a disinfectant, and as a dressing for wounds; while more recent investigations point to the fact that it may be rendered of great service in catarrhal affections. The tree has been acclimatized, to a certain extent, in the South of France, Algiers, Corsica, Spain, Cuba, and Mexico. We should imagine that it might be cultivated, with immense advantages, in the swamps of our Southern States.— Scientific American.

Go West, Young Man!

The Crown Point Herald publishes the following letter from Mr. Henry Doering, a former resident of Jasper county, who is now living at Harrisburgh, Linn county, Oregon: . “This is a cool, damp climate, not very good for persons suffering with reumatisin or consumption, otherwise general health is good. The valleys are beautiful and, fertile, blit they are small in proportion to the mountains. This is a good eonntrydor persons to come to who havC plenty of gold and.silver, but the poor people had detter east of the mountains. Good land I

and improvements can be bought here at from twenty to forty dollars per acre; there may be two million acres of this kindpf land in Oregon, and the balance is too high as a gift, and dangerous oi access. Many claims are made by people who will never be as well ofl as they were before coming here. *The mountainous regon is high and rough and impossible to travel in all directions. We have 200 acres of plowed land which will yield from 20 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre, which this year has sold for one dollar per bushel. The good land here is generally owned in tracts of 320 to 640 acres, seldom less than a half section, and if you want to buy you must, take the whole tract, and pay one-half or one-quarter down, balance drawing twelve per cent interest. With the exception of during the rain in the winter, a man can work his farm tb.e year round, lie can sow grain every month in the year, lie can put in 100 acres of wheat, do all the work himself, gather 3,000 bushels and leave enough on the grtfund to fatten 40 bogs. There is plenty of govi rnment land I-ere, yet you might travel a whole year looking for a claim, and then find none worth haying.”

Labors of a Pioneer.

Editors Union:—Monday morning, January 10th, I started through the lain to the northeast corner of Pulaski county, by request, to organize a Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry. Arriving at W. Overmyer’s, eight miles northeast of Winamac, at three o’clock in the afternoon, circulated the word by Miss Overmyer the teacher in her school, that I would be at the school house at half past six o’clock that evening to explain the objects of the Order. At the time appointed, I found a goodly crowd assembled, and talked to them in my awkward and humble manner.— Thirty names were soon obtained and an organization was affected with W. Ernsberger W. M., and W. Overmyer Secretary. Tuesday morning I started out again through the rain to Fulton county. Around Bruce’s Lake 1 wended my cheerless way, amid the music of pattering drops and flying mud dashed from my horses’ feet.— Arrived at Esquire Bennett’s in Union township at three o’clock p. m. and circulated the word by runners and in the school of my arrival and purpose. At niglit met a large crowd at the school house. Forty or fifty young men and boys brought their Jew'sharps and horse-fiddles along to have some fun, and swore I should not have the house to,stir up strife in the neighborhoods—A vote being taken, fifty of the better class of people voted iu my favor to forty against me, I ob- ; mined possession, and with my Irish up I silenced their batteries in about one hour, after which twenty-three names were enrolled and I organized Union Grange with J. E. Henderson W. M. and W. Myers4?eeretary T thus bringing order out of chaos. Wendesday morning went north.to Aubbeenaubbee township, Fulton county, and found a large crowd of Pennsylvania Germans assembled at Mr. J. Wentzel’s, wherel.had previously arranged to meet them. After inhaling the fumes from twenty-five or thirty Dutch pipes, I succeeded in convincing them that the Grange was a good Order for them to cherish.— Twenty-two names were enrolled and Aubbeenaubbee (Big Indian), Grange was organized with J. W. Myers W. M. and Peter Wentzel Secretary. After enjoying the hospitalities of Uncle J. Wentzel, and learning that Hon. Stephen Davison ex-Member of the Legislature had received an appointment as Deputy for Fulton county, I started home. Arriving at Winamac after night, I wheeled up to the Carper House drenched to the hide and suffering, with sick headache. Retired early without supper, and rose early next morning. Purchased a money order of the Post Master, noble-hearted J. Kiser, for the Secretary of the National Grange at Washington, D. C. Visited the County Treasurer’s office to pay some tax, finding Uncle Jakey Byers at his post. After a general handshaking with old friends G. W 1 Burson, Sheriff Starr, P. J. Falvey, C. G. Hartman, G. T. AVickersham, Freeman, etc., ordered my team and bid Winamac adieu. Raining harder, mud knee deep and low-spirited, I traveled that pleasant valley which intervenes between Winamac and Francesville, and arrived home after four days’ absence. Loss of sleep and exposure has housed me, hence these thoughts.— Hope you will not feel disinclined to give them publicity. • Fraternally yours, J. G. Culp, Deputy.

I THE inter-ocean. I J ~ 1873. 1874. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE NORTHWEST. Til WINTER-OCEAN FOR. 1874. r Established less than two years since as rt representative Republican paper, pledged to maintain and defend the principles and organization of the great National Republican party, the Inter-Ocean has attained a circulation and influence with the masses ot its voters everywhere to entitle it to approach the commencement of a new calendar year and to prepare, for the preliminary work of' the next campaign, the shadow of which II already casting itself upon the country, .in l the confident belief that its friends will need' no other specific pledge for the future than * has been given in its coliitnns from day to' day during the past eighteen f non ths- Sipße' its first publication it lias maintained the position of ! THE LEADING REPUBLICAN Nt!Wti. PAPER IN THE NORTHWEST, id which It was assigned by universal assent, iu the excited canvass which resulted In the second and triumphant election of President Grant. THE EN EMIES OF THE COUNTRY are vigilantly at work. Despite the overwhelming rebuke administered to them in 1872, the opposition are skillfully massing their forces for a more determined onslaught upon the Republican organizational the next State and National elections. Encouraged by the apathy of Republicaus iu the “offyear,” seizing the unprecedented financial stringency as a pretext, and using as a hood wink the deep feeling among the agricultural classes for het'er and cheaper modes of transportation than now exist, THE DEMOCRACY, under as many names as there are hungry Demagogues eageT for office is getting; itself tulo rendimss to become once more tha Ruling Party of Hie nation. ’ IN THE SOUTH Hie old D mocracy of Secession and Rebellion is being warmed into life by tlieappareut reverses .Republicanism has suffered in the North. The election of Allen in Ohio, the triumph of Tammany iu New York, and the few desultory successes which have come to Auli-Republieau tickets iu various portions of the W st and Northwest, have inspired the rebels of Ibfl with the hope that the day is dawning when the Lost Cause is to be voted into a victory they failed to achieve by means of the bullet a,.d buyo ret. Already R. M.T. Hunter, a former Senator from Virginia, and a member of the Cabinet of Jeff Davis, has publish d iris scheme for the virtual payment of Four Hundred Millions of Dollars for the Emancipated Slaves of the South. Tire Richmond ;Va.) WAy and Governor Gilbert Walker are urging this plan with all pertinacity ; and there can be little doubt that a large party of Southern Representatives iu the Forty-thild Congress will be prepared to advocate lire payment of this money by the General Government. The past history of the Democratic parly gives no warrant that it will oppose this infamous robbery of the people ol the North for the benefitof traitors: but if the party is true to itself and its instincts the South will find it and its representatives u subservient ally. THE PAYMENT OF THE REBEL DEBT ■ __ is another scheme that is broadly hinted at tn many parts of the South, and is, without doubt, one of the projects to which the leading Democrats of that section would address themselves if the time should ever come when of the Northern States aud the General Government should be in the hands of tlie party which helped the rebels-in their work of destroying the Union. These are not faucilul issues. They ure real dangers, either to be met lace to face, or else4o be squelciied iu tlivir inception by tho continued successes of that organization which crushed the rebellion, gave ireedom to the slaves, and destroyed the slave-holding Confederacy. THE FARMERS ’ JuiawL lhat-thoLutkr-Ocuin was their. earli est, as it has been their staunchest and warmest, irieud. It is emphatically the oigan of the people in tlie best sense of the term, believing in the fullest protection o! the rights of the many against the encroachments of the few. It believes that all chartered corporations should be held TiLbe sulServieiit to the power that created them, uud without an of the just rights of blliers it insists, and will continue to insist, that all corporations enjoying special privileges voted to them by the people shall servo tha people fuirly and justly, at a compensation allowing a reasonable profit upon the actual cajiitul employed. THE FAMILY. The Inter-Ocean makes special efforts to render itself acceptable to the families of its patrons. To this end everything is rigorously excluded that could possibly offend The religious and moral character is guarded with especial care, and its aim is “to encaurage the. true, the beaulilul, and the good.” THE INTER-OCEAN Is the paper for THK KEPI BLICAX, THE FARHIEH, THE FAMILY, THE irtEItCHANT, THE PKUFESSIONAE MAN, THE MECHANIC. In Literature, General News, Foreign and Domestic Correspondence, Local Reports, aud all that goes to make a first-class Commercial and Family Newspaper, It is not excelled by any publication in the country. THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT is conducted with great care, and everything possible is done to make the MARKET REPORTS such aa the FARMERS aud BUSINESS MEN of the Northwest can RELY UPON. THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT' is carolully edited by gentlemen of ability and experience. The INTER-QCEAN hat by far the laryett circulation of any newspaper published tn the Northwest. It it sent to more than 5.000 Pottoffices, distributed in every State and Territory in the United States, in all the British Provinces,, and in numerous Foreign Statesand Countries. Subscriptions are solicited from ail parts of. the world. While the Inter-Ocean especially represents the great inteiests of the Northwest, it is a NATIONAL NEWSPAPER, one that will be found interesting and useful to Americana iu every part of the globe.
