There la a prospect of getting a bridge ncroea the Kankakee into Jasper county. It will help onr towo and countv more than another R. It. Would. The people are getting in earnest and think there will be aomelhirg done soon. Every paan that owns property In Ilebron and vicinity ought to consider he has a personal interest in the matter and be ready to do hi* part—* Hebron Cor. Valparaiso Videtle. A wealthy ■*?al estate dealer, who owns a large number of dwelling houses and storerooms in every part of the city, reports the distress among his tenants as something unprecedented. He finds it absolutely impossible to collect rents in scores of cases, and his,inc6me has fallen from $26,000 to lest than $5,C00 in twelve months. Ilia tenement houses are as a rnle occupied bv working people.— lndianapolis Journal. We regret to learn Dr. Haymond haa disposed of bis property here in exchange for Indianapolis property, with the intention of making that city his home. Sach a removal is a severe loss to our community and can not bat be deplored. The gentleman who cornea into possession of the Doctor’s property at this place has been a resident of Indianapolis and we understand is the owner ot a large stock farm in Pulaski county. He will probably oocnpy his newly acquired property as soon as it is vacated.— Monticello Herald. The Laporte Herald' s love of truth and justice is too 6trong to justify a tho’t that it intend* us any wrong, but it exaggerates our labor, property and age, and makes us seem too near the point of stepping off the stage. It magnifies our little wealth enormously as follows: it says we are reported worth SIOO,000! It puts our age at 70, when its only 01, and Bays we work as long and hard as ever we have done, as if thro’ sordid avarice we practiced sell abuse, whereas we only labor as it serves us happy use, because our highest pleasure is in humble, active strife to better the coudition of our fellow man in life. Valparaiso Videtle. Thomas J. Wood has been corresponding with the Governor of Illinois in regard to the daui across the Kankakee river at Momence, and the governor writes to Mr. Wood the following: “He would suggest that either the governor of Indian} address a communication to the Hon. S. M. Cnllu.ni, the governor elect of Illinois, asking him to .call the attention of the general assembly to the cause of complaint whioh yon mention, or that the legist ature of Indiana pass a resolution requesting the legislature of Illinois to take such means for the relief of your people as may be deemed cquil*jb}e,” Mr. Wood seems determined to carry out some meagre for the relief of the land-owuers along the Kankakee valley, even if he does not go to the legislature. Success to him, say we. The thousands of aores in our own county ought to be reclaimed as soon as possible for the benefit ot agriculture.— Crown Point Register.
