An interest in temperance rcfofnf is being awakened in ilunsaelaer by tlie persistent labors of the local advocates of that cause anil tho ansi stance of Xanif's Diinn an ardent and successful worker from Pennsylvania—from Pittsburg we think. Mr. Dunn is a square-set, heavybrowed man of Irish parentage, if not born in Ireland, with energy of purpose, ambition, having' a fair command of language and intuitive tnowledgo of the subtile influences which work upon the human heart and tho hidden springs which must be deftly touched and skillfully' jlayed upon to respond with the sweet music of noble actions, 110 may be any where lrorn thirty to thirty-five years old, plains frank and pleasing mannered, not too familiar in his intercourse with any, bdt respectful, kindly and sympathetic towards all, thus winning the confidence and esteem ot young and old at ills first interview with them. His professional movements arc systematic. He tirst.enlists all tho mown friends of the temperance cause in a community in a forward, aggressive movement in the .direction of reform and inspires them with enthusiasm for the work. Then he an acquaintance with the impulsive yetfng fellows who enjoy a good tihie/ and excites ill them a curiosity to attend his meetings* which are conducted on the h i gh-pre ss nr e, electro magnetic/ camp-meeting, “yef-jest-a-shoiYt in’” plan, with singing, uiusiu and im>assioned appeals to the nobler nature ot men for the abandonment of a debasing habit and to live purer lives. Into this atmosphere the men ot .appetite aro persuaded. Here no abuse is heard, no harsh expressions, no vituperation against nien, no terms of reproach tor tlie victim of an unfortunate appetite; bnt all is gentleness, kindly, unostentationsly sympathetic, appealing to manliness and honorable ambition to do right because it is right, to act nobly because it is noble. They ar© shown that to sign the pledge to live soberly is not to abridge any liberty, privilege or right, but rather to gain greater liberty by breaking the slavish manicles of vice, to increase their privileges by opening the gates of progress, and to add other and greater and more noble possibilities of enjoyment. They put on the badge not leeling that it reflects upon ur is a reminder of their past life and habits, but because it is a sign to the world that they are active working members of a noble band of humanitarians whose grand aim is to lift up the fallen, encourage the disheartened, cheer the faltering and improve the moral and social condition of their fellow creatures. Mr. Dunn has had great success in other places, and tlie three meetings here this week have been largely attended, lie intends to remain over another week. To-night he will be at the Methodist Episcopal church.

Tlie cilitor ot the Star may not have the boasted ability of the political ami journalistic monstrosity who edits the Rensselaer Union, but lie has one great advantage over him in the controversy, in that it is not necessary tor him to tell lies,'etc., etc.— Crowit Point Star. During tlie heated and malarious term do no unnecessary things. Over exertion might result in siot ness, sickness terminate in deatnl and liars be meted out their portion according to scripture. Col. Ingersoll, and ijot the early geographers, may be mistaken on this subject; it is wisest not to take unnecessary risks. It it really is not accessary for tho Star to tell lies, suppose it omits its indulgence for one issuo and treat its patrons to a genuine surprise—a sensation they’ll enjoy. Ono single practical illustration of this kind will do more to establish a reputation than fifty announcements of ability to perform. Try it.

Lucy, wife of Charles C. Starr, died Monday morning, aged about 37 years. She had been an invalid ten years or more, and her death would not have occasioned surprise at any lime within five years past. She had been °jvresident of Rensselaer or its immediate vicinity upwards of 25 years; was schooled here, married here, and had many relatives in the town and county. She numbered many friends beside those to whom she was related by kinship, and her funeral was largely attended by the best people of the community. She left no children. The sympathy of every heart la with her husband and kindred.

Mike Mulcahy ot Jordan township was in town 1 Monday evening and took a “wee drhap of tho craytlier.” He also rode off on Edgar Janice’s horse without permission of tho owneh Tuesday morning ho was arrested by Marshal Powers and tried before Justicellarding for violation of the first section of town ordinance 52, yrhioh declares drunkenness within the corporation limits to be unlawful, was convicted and fined and oostyd SO, which he paid like a little man. At night ho attended Jimmy Dunn’s revival and put on the blue ribbon. F. L. Cotton nas shipped/Severn ears of new wheat IhisMvVek.. . Ho pays 85 to 90 cents a bushel, stew Yye is worth 40 cents, new oats 20.

LOCAL GLEANINGS.

Reported »j>cclnlly for Tuk Union. Nino o’clock p. in. is not a good Jiqur to receive mail. 18 ~ B. C. McCoy of Jordan township has 40 acres of good flax. Mrs. W. S. Orwin and children are visiting at Logansport. Cotlnty Clerk Price is cultivating 225 acres of corn this year by proxy. Mrs. Catherine La line moved into her new houso near the Christian church, Tuesday. Messrs. Furguson &.Jordan of Frauoesville will establish another lumber yard in Renssehfer* A. J. Yeoman of Jordan toWftsfnp says there are 300 acres of corn on the McCoy & Thompson farm in Jordan township. The Presbyterian Sunday sohool workers arc talking of a picnic next month, if the other Sunday schools will join with them. The shade and cool turf of the court house square are very seductive this hot weather to gentlemen of means and leisure. Capt. Paine of Barkley township iR making a good quality of tile and brick. He expects to move his machine, in t,ho autumn, near to Justice Marion’s farm.

Justice Marion says that tile draining pays well. His rankest corn stands over his drains. His experience only corroborates that qf thousands. It never fails. Justices Harding and Wood and Dr. Washburn fbokthe preliminary steps yesterday to secure the admission of John B. Hurley to the hospital for insane for tieatraent. Merrill M. Tyler and Janies Antrim of Keener township are attending the Normal. It makes one glad to meet those who bend the twig. Mr. Tyler thinks of studying medicine. Let none hinder the temperance work or stand in the way, for none may know how soon the monstef intemperance may enter his household to blight and destroy the home. Dr. S. C. Maxwell Is superintendent of the poultry department of the Remington fair this season. The premiums are numerous and largo. Au expert will make the awards. About 25 head of horses have died in Jordan township within a year of glanders. Doubtless it would be better to kill every one that is effected and in that way stamp out the disease. Three persons hate been bitten by rattle snakes recently-—a child of Tom Rilea and a daughter of John Bislosky in Newton township, and a daughter of William Page in Barkley township. The sewer being put down on Washington street at public expense is too small and will prove a failure. Stick a piu here. It should be laid in the center of the street, instead of under the gutter. I saw a young woman gleaning in the fields this week, and it put me in mind ol the story of liuth gleaning in the fields of Boar., lluth, however, did not glean with a horse and rako, but she was very successful. May our gleaner do as well.

Public attention ‘is directed to the “postoffice bulletin” which appears elsewhere. A list ot letters that remain unclaimed is published each week. Also the rules of the office with regard to the transaction of btrsiness. The postoffice hours are from 7 o’clock a. m. to 9 o’clock p. ra.—fotfrtecn uninterruptedly—each week day; aiid ohe hour on Sunday. The public Will fihd the time ample foV ATI ordinary business, and it Is debited that they conform to it.

Board of town trustees thbt on Monday night ns a board of equalization. There being no appeals from the work <>f the assessor Aid roll was approved and the board adjourned. Their next regular meeting will be held the first Monday night in August. A fine Jersey Rjfd brood sow from the southern part of the state was reocntly added to C. D. Stackhouse A Son’s herd. They have a few choice yoqng boars for sale. Wigmoro the jeweler this week has watches for repairs from Ohio and Arkansas. Men may come and men may go, bat Wigmore’s Work endures forever. There is more joy in the house of Fred Webber over a recent eight pounder btry, than over ninety and nine ten petand girls that were born to their neighbors. George Ei Yermette makes a standing offer of It a bushel for every bushel of flax delivered to him in Goodland tbit season. Thos. E. Willey acfld family of Long’s Point, Ark., are in Jasper county to visit and escape the yellow fever. Mails that arrive at the Rensselaer post office after 9’o’clock p*. nr, will not bq, delivered until the' fd“towlltg MWSIBg;" Tho Wife of Malaohi'P. Comtfj trustee, of Union township, died lust Friday after a prolonged illuoss.
