A five pound bass rewarded an expert angler in the White river at Anderson. Ducks and snipe are reported plentiful, but hard' to get at, on the Kankakee marshes. Mr. Fowler, near Lafayette, sold a herd of Texas cattle, a few weeks since, for $50,000 that cost him last fall $20,000. The 14,000 pound bell was hung in its )>ermanentq>lace in the tower of the new church at Notre Dame, a few days since. The Lafayette Courier says that apple picking has commenced and the supply will fall considerably short of the demand in that locality. New Albany has an odd genius. his third wife, all of whom were divorced women. He asserts that if he was to marry a dozen times he would wed no other. The stand-pipe for the South Bend Water-works was formally accepted by the City Council last Thursday. The stand pipe was constructed by the National Boiler Works, of Chicago, and vVas raised by Alex. Staples, of South Bend. The length of the tube is 200 feet, diameter 4 feet, weight 43,332 pounds, and capacity 29,500 gallons. It is made of 108 plates of iron, fastened by 9,857 rivets, and has 1,300 feet of caulked seams. The weight of the base casting is 10,920 pounds. In the construction of the shaft about 495,000 bricks, 15 cords of stone, and nearly 400 barrels of lime were used. This is exclusive of the foundation, which was built by the city. The members of the Church of God, and the friends of the church in this vicinity, have for some time been’ desirous of completing arrangements for regular church service; but not being possessed of a sufficient amount of this world’s goods to erect a suitable church edifice in which to meet, they have been unable until the present timeto make sucharrangements as they desired. They now have the offer of a two years’ lease of the Chappel school building, on Center street, which, when properly se a ted, p ain ted, papered and w hitewashed, will make a very comfortable place for worship. They can also obtain the ministerial services of 11. V. Reed,, of Chicago, who has been preaching to them very acceptably once a month during the past summer. The expense of repairing the building and maintaining a minister will be considerable, and the church will be very thankful for any aid that the public may feel willing to extend. All who desire to see new sources of truth opened up to the people, and the religious and moral sentiment of the community sustained and encouraged by additional help, will find in this proposition of the church an opportunity to do good according to their ability and desires. It is the intention to begin the work of repairing the church immediately.— Plymouth Democrat.

A. D. SWAIN,

President.

We have been worsted, whipped, most outrageously whaled. There is no useydeiiying it. Figures won’t lie. They [speak Tor themselves, and their voice in the table of election returns is so soulharrowing thwould fain stop our ears. The comparison between the Republican situation as it was and the Republican situation as it is, made in parallel columns of funner majorities and present minorities is enough to turn the strongest stomach. But what is the cause of the dreadful disaster? What upset our coach, kicked over, our dish, and spilled our milk ? Thereby hangs a tail or a bunch of tails, each one a weighty moral dangling at the end. We could give a long string of reason*, each perfectly

Why We Were Whipped.
