Woolen yarn, flannels, jeans, eat ineta, caesimerea and all kinds of piece goods for remarkably low prices, at Leopold’s.

Mr. Leopold’s custom has in creased so that he has been obliged to engaged another salesman, and Mr. Doerle meets customers and friends with his winning manners. Dr. Ira C. Kelley brought to this office a twig containing eight fine apples of the Northern Spy variety, which weighs six pounds. Ladies should ckll at Leopold’s store and examine the new stock of dress goods—the flnest in town—which is being offered at lovfer prices than any other house in town.

Coroner's Inqucst.

On Sunday Coroner Warner notice thaj the body of an unlniown man bad been found near some bay «uek* on Alfred Thompson’s farm in Banging Grove township. Ho at once proceeded to the place, in company with Dr. J. H. Loughridge and David J. Thompson; and insiiiated an inquest. Ths furors wore John Lefler, North RishHng, Patrick McGown, William R. Button, Daniel D. Redmond and James Nickell. John E. Randle testified thsl 2 o'clock p. in., Satirduy, September 30th, as h* was riding along the road he discovered the man lying near the haystacks on Mr. Thomp son’s farm; that he dismounted and went to see who the person was, anu why he was there; he found the man alike, slreU’hed upon ths ground, with his face downwaid, and that he turned onto his side; Randle then went-to the house Of James White, near by, for help, and both bimaelf and White returned together. They took hold of the man to rouse him and assist him to his feet, and asked him what was the matter. H* endeavored to answer them but they could not understand him. Rundle, White and Mr. Frits Zard then took him up, buttoned his clothes around him aiid earned him to the stacks where they Igid him on the grass. They then went to Mr. James Lefler's house to make arrangements to have him cared for. Returning about ten minutes afterwards they found he had died. Mr. White and Mr Zard testified substantially as Mr. Randle did. Edward Kays testified that on the morning ot the 27th deceased came to his lather’s house while the family were at breakfast, and wanted

to warm by the fire. They invited him to the table. ’He drank a little coffee, but would not eat. He seemed to be tick. He apoke in a language they did not understand. Did not afterwards see the man until his corpse was found. Dr. James H. Loughridge gave it as his opinion that deceased came to his death from malarial fever and exposure. Deceased is supposed to be about 58 years old; was light complexioned; bad blue eyes and browu hair; and was about five leet seven inches high; was dressed in a check shirt, coarse grey jeans coat and pant*, blue jeans vest Teeth gone except three lower incisors and left upper canine; part of great toe of left foot gone. Upon the body was found a French Catholic litany and prayerbook, iu which was written the name L. Mantbeau, Dayton; also a broken table knife. A verdiot was rendered in -accordance with Dr. Loughridge’s opinion. The body was brought to Rensselaer and buried in the cemetery of St. Joseph’s Orphan Asylum.

On last Friday, in the circuit court, the criminal suite against Charles McCuHv for assault with intent to kill his father-in law, Mr. R. R. Pettit, of Remington, were dismissed. Going down to the Austin ’ House McCully saw Mr. Pettit and drawing a kuife started to make another assablt upon him. Pettit drew a revolver and proposed to defend hiniseiL Bystanders interfered and prevented bloodshed. McCulley was arrested and taken before Judge Hammond, court being still in session, who imposed a tine of >i aud ordered him to give bond in the sum of >IOO to keep peace toward citizens of the state of Indiana for one year. JJpon hearing his sentence McCully insultingly told the court that it was a put up job on him, done under the seal of Free Masonry; whereupon Judge Hammond increased £faa amount of his bond to >SOO, and ordered the sh eriff to take Jua> into xwetodv until it was fil.ed, TM Of it all is that McCully wilj go to jail for one year, and the community will be of time from the dangaroga assaf of jh i« <ie«pesate man. , •"» ?, A Jre broke out in Jibe ot Trads Building at Indianapolis about 2 o’clock Sunday morning last, and before the flames could be subdued the building was daffir aged to the amount off 2,500, whiah fully covered by in&urano?.

A frightful calamity occurred on the farm of William Johnson, in Green township, Marshall county, four miles west of Argos, on Saturday last, caused by the bursting of the bojler of a grain separator, whereby three persons lost their lives and some eight or nine others were injured, more or less seriously. The accident is attributed to carelessness and too much steam. The burial of the three who died occurred Sunday afternoon, the fnneral services of two ot the bodies being held at the same *ime and place, and the occasion was one of great solemnity. At the republican grand rally at Franklin, last Saturday, one noticeable feature in the procession was a dilapidated, broken down railroad locomotive, which was intended to represent the wrecker of railroads, Samuel J. Tilden, who is now the democratic candidate for president. The illustration had a good effect and elicited round after round of cheers from the delighted throngs of bystanders as the pro cession passed through the principal streets of the town.

Charles Bowen writes from El Paso, Kansas, under date of September 10th, as followsi When we left Jasper connty, Indiana, on the 2d day of last May, we went to St. Louis, Mo., thence by way of Lebanon to Cherokee county, Kansa's, then traveled through Crawford, Montgomery, Howard, Cowley and Sumner counties to this place, which is in Sedgwick connty. I think the advantages here are superior to anything seen on the route traveled. We haye good lane, good water,timber, and good health. Indeed it is hard Io heat. Hog raising is a paying business with us. Fat hogs never sell for less than >6 per hundred weight, while plenty of sound corn may be bought tor fifteen cents a bushel. There are forty bushels of wheat raised here to one of oats. Those who talk of fourteen bushels per acre being a large yield ought to see what we raise; they ought' to visit here in the fall and see f«>r themselves. Those little fiftypound sacks of flour are unknown to our farmers. They generS'ly take a load of twenty-five or thirty bushelaof wheat to mill at one time and get their flour for six months or a year- There are as good schools here as further east, and as good society.

Nebraska as She Really Is.

Men who visit Nebraska from Illinois and other states, are astonished at what they see as compared with what they have heard. Iu this year, 1876, JU cbraska has an enormous or«p of wheat, barley, oats and rye, and not more than five p«r cent, of the oom has been lost through the “hoppers,” which pest, the men of science and those posted say, may never again visit the state. The ridiculous and almost laughable stories that are circulated as to the had condition of the state are witauut foundation in foci. being started by parties diroc'ly or indirectly interested. The beet thing for the land-hunter to do, is to refuse to listen to these “yarns,** and examine Nebraska for himself. He will thus be convii.ced, that with energy and a little capita), ho can do twice as well in fisrmi g and stock-raising in Nebraska, as anvwhore east of ft. It is not by ehanco that two-thirds of the population «f America Are found in the latitude of Nebraska. 'Agriculture forms the basis of true wealth, and where agricuttiimis prosperous t..ere will be a people of manifold resource*. 1. It is in this very belt thdl the intelligence, strength and wealth oft the United States are mainly found. It is in this latitude only, that we an fr«e from those extremes of heat and odd, which goto make terming so precarious elsewhere. It is in this latitude that the Gulf Stream of immigration flows, bringing up the value of land mors surely, and more rapidly than an.- where else. Things in Nebraska have reached “bedreek." Those going in now will get the advantage of the lowest figures, with a oOK katy of better times *#4 large adva cee In the taratediam future. M i
