REFORM.

For many months past this word reform has bean foremost upon the tongue of the orator. It has appeared prominently and frequently in the newspaper literature of our land. It is* little word, but capable of immense possibilities. Reform ie a good thing to talk about, an excellent thing to practice, It la well at the commencement Of the new year to resolve upon one or more measures of personal reformation. Resolve to turn over a new leaf in the journal of life, and quitone or more vicious, immoral, foolish or ungenteel practice*. Or, better still, break away from every bad or questionable habit, and begin to live a purer life. Let the swearer cease his profanity; it is foolish, it is coarse, it is wicked.

"Swear Dot at all: neither by heaven; for it is God's throne*, nor by the earth ; for it is his footstool. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.” Let the drinking man reform and resolve to abjure the use of intoxicating liquor. “Wine is a mocker, strong drink i’ raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.’’ The excessive use of strong drink excites the baser passions, destroys all of the finer feelrings and nobler impulses of the heart, brings sorrow, poverty and shame. Let the spendthrift cease his profligacy and commence to lay by something to support himself in* old age, that be be not a public charge, a tramp or a thief. Let the miser resolve to open his heart to the appeals of merciful charity, and cease to oppress the widou(, the orphan, and his unfortunate neighbor. “He that give th to the poor lendeth to the Lord;”. Let the tattler learn to bridle his unruly tongue, cease to speak evil of his neighbors, and not indulge in the Repetition of scandal, “lie that rpeaketh lies shall perish.” Let the dilatory, debtor make prompt, honorable and satisfactory settlement with him who has favored him with credit. This is just. Say not, It is but a trifle, he is able pnd paq wait a while longer; for this is not a fair way to treat those who have shown us kindness whpp o»r necessities have pressed upon us sorely.

“Bring foi th fruit for repentance.” Pay the doctor whose skill and counsel have restored health to the sick, strength to the feeble, and joy to the hearts of those who were bowed down in gruet at the suffering of those loyed ones who sank down close to death’s door. J*ay the merchant and the jailor who have clothed you. Pay groper, |.he butcher, the miller *ud the baker who have fed you. Pay the landlord who provided you wkb a halter from inclement weather. Pay your laundress, for she is poor and needy; perhaps she may be a widow whose children want food and clothing; her rent may be due; or her wood-pile low. Pay the miuiater under whose ministra-

tion you have sat with satisfaction, ai-d whose words of hope have been cheer and consolation to your foul. Pay the attorney whose cojMMel has shielded your posses#jphs from the rapacity of soulless /borporatjuns. Pay the man servant and maid servant whose labor have .guided to your comfort and your store. “The laborer is worthy of .4>is hire.” Pay all whom thou owest, even to the uttermost farthing. Square up all old accounts. Make honorable settlement of some fcind. £wear off from bad habit*. Regolye to reform* Cumin it no perjury, DP to every good resolution, Then U’iU the new year be indeed • happy ou*-

It is reported tlt/X Govu-mor Hendrick* is in favor of a comyrofni*e of die ejection niuddlc by permilticg the Hoose of gptivea to elect the president. and the senate the vice prc*W«nt. This would place Mr. Tilden in the White jHou«e and Mr. heeler •?hiM become presiding officer of the Senate. M«. Hendrick* would he provided for either by * Cornet jpositioß or a foreign mission.

THE METEOR.

Of the wonderful meteor seen on ‘ the night of the 21st, we can give ho accurate description. Nearly ! every person in Jasper county saw it or heard the noise of its passage through the atmosphere which surrounds the earth. A thin stratum of clouds overcast the heavens so that the light reflected from this 1 remarkable body was not as bril* b.ant ns reported at other points. Those who saw the phenomenon say that it first appeared at a point a little above the western horizon, perhaps a trifle south of west, seemed to pass leisurly through : space in nearly a due eastern course, and just aa it got past the zenith exploded into many fragments, some of which again exploded. An interval of siveral seconds, some think two or three minutes, elapsed between the explosion and the hearing of the reports which followed. Buildings were shaken as though by a slight eartlb quake shock until windows and dishes rattled. To us the effect was like that produced by thefiring of heavy cannon say half a mile distant, though the sound while of great volume seemed to be from farther away. The newspapers contain accounts of this remarkable meteor from points as far west as Lawrence, Kansas, and east to Toledo, Ohio; while the breadth of its observation was north, as far as Chicago, and south, to Indianapolis, at least. Probably Rensselaer was not far from directly beneath its path, perhaps a few miles north, while its explosion occurred not less than fifty miles east of here. It was seen fifteen or twenty minutes before 9 o’clock in the evening.

On the Bth page of this paper will be found the prospectus of the Chicago Trdttne, one of the ablest newspapers of the United States. the Tribune ranks iftnong the foremost papers of the world. In politics it is essentially republican; but while advocating those doctrines which form the basis of this political party with ability, fairness is a marked feature of all its discussions. We know of no paper that seems to be actuated by a more sincere desire to find out the right and to speak the truth. It is never sensational, or so seldom that sensationalism is the exception. There is not a better or cheeper family newspaper published.

Mr. Charles G. Powell, of Laporte, will be a candidate for Director of the Northern Indiana Penitentiary. It is evident to all who have any knowledge of the affairs of that institution that something is wiong about its management, that a change of some nature is required. Frpm an acquaintance of several years with the gentleman we think he is qualified to perform such duties as pertain to the position he aspires to in a manner that would promote the interest of the state. Hu is a modest gentleman, of quiet business habits, and fine exec utive If the democracy of Jasper county held a convention on last Saturday to appoint delegates to attend the state convention at Indianapolis on the Sth of January, next, we have not been able to learn about what they did. Do not thinX a meeting was held by them. It the controlling men of the democratic party w*ere as conscientious as most of that element in this county, republicans would have slight occasion for quarreling with them.

In New York yesterday (27th) gold opened at 107|, fell to 107, and closed at 107 J.
