Kick. tmTt Xetf Bill Thistlethwaite sent a memorial to the Counoil last night asking that body to allow him pay for publishing its proceedings! An unheard of pro oeeding, bat in keeping with all of hid reform movements. He represents his paper as strictly local in its character, and devoid of partisan politics. That's rich now, isn't it? In all of his seribbliags, (we don't oall them writings), -nothing bnt the vilest copperhead sentiments are breathed forth Tallandigham, Dan. Voorhees, and men acamrts as thev. are often eulo gised in die columns of the Free Press. There were twenty-five building permits issued by the city clerk of Indianapolis, last week, aggregating New Albany, Indiana, is to have a limberger cheese factory, so eays an exchange. That -enterprising city can cheese it now.

Dunn, a lawyer of Bedford, Lawrence county, Indiana, and son of the late Hon. George G. Dunn, has gone to Europe, for the purpose of gathering material tor his book on Southern Italy. - J. Gould, Sidney Dillon, and several other directors of the Union Pacific, have gone to Omaha, with a view of examining that road, and as farCfe possible, straighten the Same and otherwise improve it. Mr. Henry F. Keenan, formerly of the Sentinel, and one of the best editors that paper ever had since the days of the Chapmans, has accepted a position on the editorial staff of the Chicago Times. We congratulate the Times on its suocess in securing the services of the "young man." The Bank of California Aalston's bank which suspended some weeks ago, resumed business last Saturday. Accounts from there say, that "coin is now flowing both ways," into the bank and out of it that the deposits for the first days were greatly in excess of the amounts drawn out.

A correspondent, writes to us : Thinking that you might not object to a small item from Havre, I take pleasure in telling you what a nice time about fifty Americans, including ship masters in port and residents, had here at a dinner served at the Hotel de Bordeaux on the evening of July 5th, instead of the 4th, celebrating the 99th anniversary of our Independence. The party consisted of an equal number of ladies and gentlemen, all navBAtisllv aninaintAfl with enen nther; all the dinner was as near as possible, a regular old-fashioned 4th of July one. Colenel John A. Bridgeland, our Consul, filled the chair; and, by his able and eloquent speeches, caused us to forget that we were so lar away from home. The usual toasts were drank, and many of the company vied with each other in speeches that be- ? ailed away the time most delightedly. Nor were our excellent representatives in Paris the Hon. E. B. "Washburne, our Minister, Secretary Witt, and Major-General Torbert, our Consul-General forgotten, and their healths were toasted and their praises and virtues extolled in a manner which am sure would have caused their modesty to blush had they been present our only regret under the circumstances. - - After dinner we had music and dancing, and with these we merrily drifted into the small hours, our party breaking up at 3 a. m., pleased with each other and the evening's entertainment. rweturns received at ine uepanment ot Agriculture, at aenington, show that the average price of farm labor, with board, per month, in the United States, is f 12.40 at the present time making a decline of nearly twenty-two per cent, since 1869. The lowest wages are in the Southern j States. Recently a very remarkable sale of short-horn cattle took place in Scotland, Lord Dunmore selling 39 head from bis noted herd for $131,115, an average of $3,361 per her head. This is the largest average ever made at any public sale. For the bull Duke of Connaught, $25,000 was paid. Another bnll sold for $15,000 to the agent of the Viceroy of Egypt, and four others sold for from $5,000 to $10,000 ach. The Liberty Herald says, "As the jailor's son took supper to the prisoners at Eaten, recently, six of the old stagers took to the timber. After a vigorous search all were finally recaptured, some being treed, others hunted out of corn-fields, and one had gone to roost in a hen-house."

Indiana Yearly Meeting or Friends. Thursday, September 30, 1875. The regular session of the Yearly Meeting convened at 10 o'clock, a. m. The attendance was good, though not unusually large. Mary Elliott, of Ohio, was in attendance in addition to those already reported. A. M. Purdy offered a prayer, after which the clerk read the minutes of the meeting. Charles F. Coffin, who has served in that capacity for seventeen years, was reappointed clerk for the present year. Dougan Clark and Levi Mills were reappointed assistants. It is the practice of this body that the clerk of the meeting acts as the president, and at the same time prepares and reads a minute of the proceedings before the respective subjects are concluded in the service. A proposition for the calling of a general conference of Friends from all the yearly meetings, to consider matters of general interests to the church, was introduced, and after considerable discussion the proposition was not accepted, but a committee was appointed to propose i names to the meeting for delegates to a general conference, if other yearly meetings should acquiesce. FRIDAY. The two meeting rooms were occupied at 8:30 o'clock by the devotional meeting, and the meeting of ministers. The former was led by Thomas Kimber, and the latter was occupied in discussing some points in connection with the duty of the church in giving its support to the spirituality of the gospel. The meeting at large went into regular session at 10 o'clock, and Joseph Wright, of Ohio, led in prayerThe answers to the queries, as compiled from the rejwrts of the quarterly meetings, were read and examined. Many of them especially interesting, but we have not room to give them. The statistical reports were presented, and from them, we glean the following: "The number of members within the jurisdiction of this yearly meeting, 16,563, of whom 506 are isolated 2,892 families. There were 455 births

auu iou ucatua vv iluiu iiio paoi jcai, and 419 persons .have been received into the church by request; 22 have been disowned, and 53 resigned; 112 meetings are reported and 185 recorded ministers; 34 meetings have no minister." The Temperance Conmittee held their annual session in the afternoon - SATURDAY. After the opening services, consisting of prayer etc., Dr. Gardner, by request, visited the Women's Meeting to give them information relative to his extensive and useful missionary labors in the mountainous regions of Tennessee. Various matters relative to statistics and other miscellaneous matters followed in the order of each other, among which were the obligations of Christian membership in relation to giving money for church uses. Much pertinent counsel was given, and considerable discussion followed, over all of which Christian courtesy and forbearance was manifested even when ideas -came in direct conflict. The meeting was also brought into sympathy with the many isolated members of our society, and particularly by the report of Elkanah Beard, of his late travels in California and on the Pacific coast. The committee having Earlhara College in charge, made a highly favorable report that the college was full of students and some applicants turned away. The committee reported many important improvements in and about the college building, in the heating aparatus, &c; also, that large additions had been made to the museum, chiefly by the efforts of the president during his recent visit to the South Sea Islands. ' The-repairs to the buildings and new heating aparatus leaves a debt of about $3,100 to be provided for in future... The endowment now amounts to over $52,000; and, with the interest and other resources, reaches near $60,000. Some difficulties were reported from Walnut Ridge, and also from White Water Quarterly Meeting, in regard to raising money for church purposes. A discussion followed, after which a committee was appointed - to fake the subject into consideration and report to a future sitting. The discussion having lasted more than 90 minutes it was deemed best to adjourn. SUNDAY. , Two meetings were held at 10 o'clock, one in the old .meeting house and the other in the railroad 6hops building, which had been fitted up for that purpose. , Religious meetings were also held by ministers attending yearly meeting at nearly all the churches in the city. (An account of the numbers in attendance, and the incidents of the day, etc., are given elsewhere in to-day"p paper.) MONDAY. Wm. Beck, an English Friend who has been two years in religious work in Australia, was present, on his way home. ' A minute of advise to those members who decline paying their church money, was adopted, and directed to be read in all the monthly meetings. It alludes to the many works of benevolence, etc., engaged in by the yearly meeting, requiring money; states that great economy is practiced; that there are no paid agents etc. to absorb any part of the funds so contributed, and declares it to be the duty of all members to respond to the demands of the church, and that those who refuse should not be placed in any controlling position on the committees, or assist in the work of the church. The Book and Tract Committee made its twenty-fifth report. It has published in the quarter of a century of its existence 33,875,774 pages of tracts, and 1,176,285 pageB the past

year. Besides this, it haB purchased of other associations 1,192,200 pages, making in all received into its depository the past year, 3,163,485 pages. The remainder of the session was consumed in making and considering reports upon the subjects before this yearly meeting, such as on Temperance, Home Missions, Normal Labor Institute, Representative Meeting, etc. The final adjournment of the yearly meeting takes place to-day. A Car Ride by MMnllKhC, The other night, was the most pleasant ride we have had this Beason, excepting, perhaps, a night we spent on Lake Michigan, when the glorious orb of night was out in all her effulgent splendor. But our car ride was on a night when the moon was not putting on it brightest smile, but shone in a vague, mystical way, conveying to one the impression that it had come hidden, mysterious reason for , not coming out auy brighter, and which always begets in one a corresponding mysterious feeling a feeling which causes every object animate to become possessed of a purpose to do Borne unlooked-for thing that would be rather. out of the regular order, and every thing inanimate to take on a like strange influence. The fog hung just above the earth, and across the meadow-land it formed itself into a perfect lake, as natural as any real lake you ever saw, with a clump of timber for distance, and the right foreground studded with small undergrowth a place for fairies to besport themselves, and poets fancy to linger. We were reminded of Thompson's "Dream f Fair Weather," where the two lovers came out of the wood,

stepped into a boat and pushed into the stream, the lady singing, with harp accompaniment, so loudly and sweetly that the great long-legged birds tiptoed it on the sand, and stretched their necks to listen. Anon we would plunge into a dense forest, and all would be silent and dark save an occasional gleam of moonlight through a broken place in the mass of foliage; upon the trunk of a tree, or an occasional glimpse of the azure vault serene above. This was a place for dark and bloody deeds, and we thought of the character in the novel (we don't remember' what one now) who went into the woods, waylaid a man and killed him. Then we would emerge again into the light, and the trees would stretch their long shadows out into the pasture as if bent on holding sway over ihe moonlight as long as ever they could until the man with the club, roaming about their trunkp, had time enough to do his work and escape undiscovered. Ye are great, but undiscriminating protectors, oh trees! Through storm and wind of the elements as well as through the storm and wind of men's passions, you spread abroad, just the same, your protecting care. - . Horses, half seen through the fog, stood silently grazing upon the rich pasturage; and without noise or apparent life, small flocks of geese floated down the stream from under the bridge over which we rolled with muffled roar. Turning our sight inward, we were soon in a sleep, of strange and fantastic dreams. White Water Presbytery. Quite an interesting report of the proceedings of this religious body, which held its session at Liberty; on the 14th ult, appears in the Herald of the 25cl. Encouraging reports from a majority ot the different churches comprising the Presbytery, embracing the counties of Wayne, Union, Fayette, Franklin, Dearborn, Rush, Shelby and Henry, were received. In this city Elder 31. Zellcr reported the church in a healthy condition they love their pastor (Rev. I. M. Hughes) and have a prosperous Sabbath School. At Cambridge, Rev. I. 31. 3Ionfort reports, that the church building there is improved by the erection of a tower that the members, though poor, are excellent workers in the church that the stoppage of tho Cambridge City Car Works had reduced many to want, and prospects looked gloomy for the people, and that consequently the pecuniary condition of the church was worse than ever before. Rev. Geo. Sluter, in remarks to those who are desponding said, some of the very best men have had things to discourage them. Remember the kingdom of Heaven cometh not by observation. Let us not be weary in well doing. We as a Presbytery have reason to thank God and take courage. Rev. I. W. Monfort spoke of a handfull of wheat taken from a mummy that increased year after year until, as it were, it filled the whole land. So it is with the word of God. A day with the Iiord is as.a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day. God's ways are not as man's ways, nor His thoughts as our thoughts. God will bless in His own way all faithful work. Rev. J. Dudley said, referring to one advanced in years, that this brother fought forty years in the ministry was a sufficient work. 3Ir. D. himself had recently heard of good seed springing up into glorious life, where twenty-two years ago it seemed that it had fallen on stony ground. One who was recently converted, referred the beginning of his serious thought to words uttered lone years ago, in what he pronounced then a poor sermon. The next meeting of Presbytery was appointed for the 2d Tuesday in April, 1876, at 7J p. m. We are obliged to the Elmira (N. Y.) Gazette for the information that "Victoria Woodhull is on angel lent to earth for a few days. Very kind in Satan to loan her out, we are sure; but then, he has so many other damaged angel? in stock that we don't suppose he'll miss her. TTnitpd States Treasurer New hj sent to a relative in Indianapolis a cinder of about the size of a large ap pie formed from the chemicals in Iroignrv nnt.p.4 to. the amnnnt nf S9. . 000.000 which were burned some time ago. Exchange. Thus, our Demo cratic friends, is the nation defrauded nf its nrooertv. That cinder belong ed to the people.

. Amerlean Consul at Home. We received an interesting letter from our old friend and fellow-citizen Col. John A. Bridgland, recently, and though a private letter, we take the liberty of making a few extracts therefrom, knowing that his many friends and acquaintances will be gratified to hear from him. Alluding to the time he came to our city, some tweuty-six years ago, when' our population only numbered about three thousand, Col. Bridgeland contrasts the present prosperous condition of our city with what it was when he settled here, and brings up this reminiscence: "In 1S52, my forwarding agent at Baltimore had to look on the map for some time to find where Richmond was located, and asked me how I ever expected to get such a quantity of tobacco to a place so far into the interior? 1 told him of course I should have it hauled with teams. When we think of it now with a population of about fifteen thousand with railroads in every direction, carrying merchandise from many wholesale establishments, and dotted all over with manufacturing establishments, I must cenfess I am proud to know I was the first who ever did an exclusively and successfully a wholesale business in our prosperous little city. 1 have never been away from it in auy time during twenty-six years, so long as my present absence, and trust I shall never be away from it any one time again so long. I have friendships and attachments made in youth and prosperity there, that 1 can never hope to replaee with any others dear old friends who have charity for our faults, and mete out full praise for what good qualities we may possess. "I like Havre and my position h6re although we have a bad climate and businesses been poor ever since my induction into office. Ever since our American pauic in 1873, business has been more prostrated here than at home. Havre is not worth as much money by many millions of dollars as it was two years ago. The cotton and frain trade with America is one of lavre's largest interests. We have not had so tew American sailing vessels for niany years as the past two. I wish Congress could do something to improve our shipping interests: for it is painful to see three-quarters of our extorts crossing the Atlantic in foreign bottoms." Speech of General Orant. - At the reunion of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee at Des Moines, Iowa, on the 29th ult.. President Grant spoke as follows : Comrades : It always affords me much grattication to meet my comrades in arms of ten and fourteen years ago, to tell over again in mem

ory the trials and hardships ot those days hardships imposed for the preservation and perpetuation of our free institutions. We believed then, and we believe now,' that we have a povernment worth fighting for, and if need be, dying for. How many ot our comrades paid the latter price for our preserved Union ! Let their heroism and sacrifice be ever green in our memory; let not the results of their sacrifice, be destroyed. The Union and the free institutions for which they fell should be held more dear for their sacrifices. We will not deny to any of theeo who fought against us any privilege under the government which we claim for ourselves. On the contrary, we welcome all such who come forward in good faith to help build up the waste places and to perpetuate our institutions against all enemies as brothers in full interest with us in a common heritage; but wc are not prepared to apologize for the part we took in the war. It is to be hoped that, like trials will never again befall our country. In tbeir settlement no class of people can more heartily join than the soldiers who submitted to the dangers, trials, and hardships ot the camp and the battle field, on whichever side he may have (ought. No class of people are more interested in guards against a recurrence of those days. Let us then begin by guarding against every enemy to the prosperity of free Republicaninstitutidns. I do not bring into this assemblage politics, certainly not par tisan olitics, but it is a fair subject for the soldiers iu their deliberation to consider what may be necessary to secure the prize for which they battled. In a republic like ours, where the citizen is the sovereign and the official the servant, where no power is exercised except by the will of the people, it is important that the sovereign the people, should foster edu cation and promote the intelligence which is to preserve us as a free nations If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence. I predict that the dividing -line will not be 3Iason and Dixon's, but between patriotism and intelli-' gence on the one side and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other. Now, the centennial year of our national existence, I believe it a good time to begin the work ot strengthening the foundations of the structure commenced by our patriotic forefathers 100 years ago at Lexington. Let us all labor to add all needful guarantees for the greatest security of the free thought, free speech, a free press, pure morals, unfettered religious sentiments, and of eqtrat rights and privileges to all men irrespeciive of nationality, color, or religiou; encourage free schools and resolve that neither the State nor nation, nor both combined, shall-support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to afford to every child growing up "in the land the opportunity of a good common, school education, unmixed with sectarian, pagan, or sethetistical. Leave the matter. of religion to the family altar; the church and the private school supported entirely by private contributions, and keep the church and the State forever separate. With these safeguards I believe the battles which created the Army of the Tennessee will not have been foueht in vain. The President's speech was greeted with applause, repeated again and again. "After speeches by Searetary Belknap, Jeff C. Davis, Farce, Blaine, Meyers, and others, Colonel Church was called out for several old army song-. GENERAL SHERMAN closed the speaking for the night, with a humorous and short speech, in which he said he wished all the speeches made here to-night could be printed in full and scattered broadcast through the South, to show the people there how the ex-soldier of the North all felt toward them. This is a good idea. "It seems to be the drift of things, among the soldiers attending the reunion here," says the Des Moines Register, "that all the army societies will next year be merged iutoxrtie a Centennial fusion, at Philadelphia."

' What General Taylor Keally Said. The Hon. L. B. 3Iizner of Solano, California, has spoiled that well known little story about Gen. Taylor saying at Buena Vista: "A little more gra e, Ca; t. Bragg." 31izner was at a banquet of Mexican war veterans in San Francisco, tho other evening, and made the following statemeutas to what General Taylor did say: "Holding the position of an interpreter on the staff of General Taylor, I was seated on my horse, immediately near him, when Capt. Bragg dashed hurriedly up, saluted the General, and reported : 'General, I shall have to fall back with my battery, or lose it.' Several of his guns had already been dismounted, a large portion of his horses killed, and about thirty of his men were prostrate on the heath. On receiving the report, Gen. Taylor turned on his horse and surveyed the situation for a few seconds he required no field glass, for the scene of conflict was not far removed and the reply was: 'Captain Bragg, it is better to lose a battery than a battle.' This was the interview on which was based the famou slang phrase that was never uttered by the General to whom it was imruted Capt. Bragg returned to his battery with reuewed determination, and, by the efforts of that gallant officer and his brave command, the tide ot battle was turned and the greatest victory of the war was won.

Highly Important to Manufacturers. The dispatches Saturday nujht announced that no individual ajplication for space will be consul ered by the Centennial coin mission after October 31st. Indiana, with her twelve thousand manufacturing establishments, has on file at this time no more than twenty-five applications. The direct occasion for this limitation is the unexpected demand for increased epaeo from foreign countries. There are undoubtedly hundreds of manufacturers in the State svho arc intend ing to make such applications, and, as will bo noted, there is no timo for a moment s delay. Blank ap plications, with full instructions, may be obtained by addressing Prof. E. T. Cox. State Geologist. The calender of the Exposition, as adopted, is as follows: Individual applications received until October 31, 1875. Goods received after January 10, 1876. Goods must be in position April 19, 1876. Unoccupied space forfeited April 26, 1876. Exposition opens May 10: T- j - i -t i r I JtiXposmon closes govern uer jx wooas to ue removed iy December 3. A Jj. Roacue, Chairman State Board of Managers. Restoration ot Robert Dale Owen. Indianapolis, October 4. The Jour nil, of to morrow, will contain a note from Dr. Evarts, Superin tendent of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane, in which he announces the restoration of Robert Dale Owen, who, he says, will in a few days return to his borne in New Harmony, where, under advice, be will continue for a time to rest from labor. The Doctor adds that he sees no reason why Mr. Owen may not, in a short time, resume his work with all the vigor and ability incident to his age and habits of life. The note is accompanied by a long letter from Owen ' to Dr. Evarts, in which he alludes to tho circumstances of his seclusion by his children, who, he believes, acted for the best, judging their action by the Napoleonic test of success. He finds that he has entirely gotten rid of his dyspeptic symp tome; that his health has been essentially improved, and his mind greatly tranquilizerl, and, therefore, does not regret what has been done He admits that a man placed in his circumstances can not be a competent judge of his own past condition, yet it seems to him that bis only ailment was exhaustion of the brain and nervous force, until what ho regarded as arbitrary restraint tended to irritation. He admits that he has inherited a tendency to overhopefulness, and that this ten dency Bhowed itself especially after his severe illness at Dansville. He thinks therepo3e of the pist three months has been greatly beneficial to him, and-speaks in feeling terms of the kind words which have been spoken of him by the press in his affliction. He closes his letter with warm acknowledgements of the kindness and consideration shown him by Dr. Evarts. ' The lIlnl Must have Food. The human mind is great in its endowments and weaknesses; there is nothing more noble than the sa cred excellencies of mental endowments, though it can become overburdened;. then comes the point of weakness. The wheel of thought refuses to turn, and therefore a full is experienced by tho mental faculties; for, like the body, the mind is strengthened more by exerci3e,than warmth of clothing. Thus it is that the mind must have food as well as the body. Moral literature, read in moderation, is nutrition for the mind; like the hand seeking employment, so is the brain restbss for something to read some problem to solve. Bead ing, writing, and many other mental pat. times, keep the brain alive. Cheerfulness has the same effect on the mind as on the body. It soothes the discontented mortal and banishes anxious care, causing dark and ruffled thoughts to glide' into perpetual calm. Next to food, there is another balm for the tired and worn out brain; 'tis "tired nature's sweet restorer," the life invigorator, sleep. Though in the realms of sleep the brain is not entirely at rest; 'tis weaving visionary phantoms in the silvery shades of dreamland. The Cincinnati Pork Packers' Association have determined to make an exhibition of the hog product at the Philadelphia Centennial, and appointed their present board of officers a committee to procure space and carry out the purpose of the association.

Xaytns of tne Corner Stone Grand and Imposing; Ceremonies A Fine day and a Large Crowd. Yesterday the Corner Stone of the new Court House was laid un dcr the auspices of the Masonic order, by M. W. Grand Master Daniel McDonald. The day was a fine one and the attendance was not less than eight thousand people. The grand procession was formed at 1 o'clock, the Patrons of Husbandry in front, followed by Masonic fraternity, and the Richmond and Muncie Commanderies of Knights Templar, accompanied by their Cornet Bands. Arriving at the Building, "the programme of exercises, . as published last week, were followed. After music by the Winchester Cornet Band, prayer by Rev. W, O. Pierco, Grand Chaplain, singing by the Choir, the Corner Stono was deposited,a box containing the folio wing article: Copy of Holy Bible, Roll of offices and members of Winchester Lodge No. 56 F & A M., Reports of all grand Masonic bodies for 1874-75, Masonic Directory for Winchester, copy of each paper published in the County, copy of the Winchester Patriot, first paper over printed in the county, dated Oct. 1843, by Col.,H H.

P. YTa.tts, Deputy Grand Master, II. H. NefT,Senior Grand Warden. W. Commons,Janior Grand and W. O. Pierce, Grand Chaplain. The Richmond Cornet Band played a most beautiful piece of music, after which the choir sang "We meet upon the Level and Part upon the Square." Hon. John E. Neff was introduced and after a few introductory remarks, saying that he was proud of the fact that he was a Randolph . Co., boy,and that his relatives were among the earliest ' settlers, his uncle printed the first paper ever published in the county, the Win Chester Patriot, of which the Win Chester Journal is the successor, al though the old readers of the Patriot would hardly recognize their old favorite in the Journal of today, printed by sieam on its fine press and perfect typedie proceeded to give a short civil history of Randolph County. He produced the original bill as presented by Mr. Beard of Wayne county for the organization of the county of Rans dolph, January .10th, 181&. Randolph county then comprised all the

territory north of Wayne county to the Michigan line. The first court was held in William Way's house, and the first court house built was erected on the north side of . the public square, at a cost of $250, copy of the contract for tbe building being deposited in the box in the corner stone. Jonathan Jen nings was then Governor of the State. Judge Holman was the first Circuit Judge, then followed Judge Eggleston, Judge Test and Judge Bigger, who was afterward Gover nor of the State. Mr. Neff then produced a copy of the laws of 1818 and read several extracts from it which were very interesting. The wealth of the State in 1818 was $44,000,000. And now it has reached the enormous sum of 954,000,000. The wealth of the county then was 8300,000, while now it is 12,000,000. The county now contains 54 miles of railroads, valued at $674,000 while the pikes are numerous and first class. Four papers are now published in the comity, two of which are issued at -Winchester His lemarks were full of interest, and were well received by the vast assemblage of people present. Tho Benediction was then prononwied bv Rev. Sparks of Rich inond, and the vast crowd dispersed to their respective homes, well pleased with what they had seen and heard. There were many of our oldest citizens on the stand, prominent among whom were David Lasley, who was born April 1st, 1800; but lacks a great deal of being an April or any other kind of a fool, who cleared the Public Square in 1821, David Wrysong, who. was the con tractor that built our first Court House, and John Coats, who is the oldest man in the county," being 88 years old. Tho latter i quite a patriarch, having 12 children, 40 grandchildren. 150 great grandchildren and 4 great great grand children living. Everything passed off smoothly and pleasantly, everybody was pleased and the day will be long remembered, by all who were pres ant. The Muncie Comandery attracted much attention by their splendid drill, and it is regretted that no list of the.r names were furnished to bo deposited in the Corner Stone. Their Band is a fine one and was highly complimented. Winchester Journal. The attention of our readers is called to the advertisemnet of Messrs, Baxter & Co., Bankers, of 17 Wall St, New York city.

Sherman and other distinguished officers,the regiments carrying their old flags and the wounded occupying the post of honor. Railways will- furnish transportation at reduced rates but it is recommended that each county make arrangements for special trains at special rates. Counties along the Ohio river will make their own arrangements for transportation by water to the nearest railway. This should be done with out delay. Many counties are mustering their men by regiments for the Re -union, and it is urged that this be done everywhere as the best means of securing a full ats tendance. Begin recruiting and drilling at once by townships. Bring out your . flags, your music, and every man who wore the Union Blne,especially the disabled. Which will be tbe Banner County? By order of Executive Committee. G. J. LANGSDALE, Chairman.

Ohio and the Centennial. The State of Ohio has commenced tbe erection of its building in the Centennial grounds. Similar build ings will be put up by Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey,' Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wis consin, Kansas and Missouri. The English comrnisNCfn has applied for an extension of, it, space in the park for the erection of a third building. The reception of applis cations for exhibiting space will be discontinued ' after October 30th. ' - ' A special from Win terse t, Iowa, to tbe State Register, says that the fine court house in that place, com paratively new, and costing $110,000, was ' burned Saturday. The fire broke out in the upper story of the east wing at 11:20 a. m., and in thirty minutes the dome, reaching 130 feet in the air, went with a crash into the court room, and in an hour the fire had finished its work, and nothing was left but the gloomy ruins. The prisoners in the jail, in the basement of the court house, were all rescued, and the county records were all saved. The building was uninsured. No liyes were lost, and tbe fire extended no further. : $25 A DAY guaranteed using or Well Anger and Drills. 0IOO a month rld to good Agents. Anger book iree. Jilz Auger Co., St. loni)t, 30-4 Mo.

Certificate from Hon. F. W. KelloajK ,.t H.Cfran Mlcfeiiaa. , r - Washington. April 8, 1863. Dr.' Forsjia Dear Sin I have wit nessed the good effects of your Alterative Balm in my family, and am so well pleased with it as a remedy for many diseases, that I shall do what I can to introduce it wherever I am acquainted. I have never bad much confidence in any general remedy, and when I sent for yon to attend my niece, I did so very reluctantly, and at the argent solicitation of a gentleman who had employed you and had unbounded confidence in you. She was a very delicate child, about eighteen months old, and had been sick for several weeks, when you were called in to see her; she had the whooping-cough, which still troubled her, and was suffering from a severe attack of Pneumonia also. I did not consent to have you try your Balm till I despaired of her recovery; but the first application of it externally, affected herso favorably that we were induced to continue tbe use of it as you directed, and employ yon in f reference to any other physician. After mproving very much, she had a relapse, in consequence of taking cold, and her fever seehied more violent than ever. Her attendants did not believe it was possible to save her, but your medicine acted like a charm, and has eventually restored her to health. Her recovery seems almost a miracle, and we shall ever remember you with the deepest gratitude. Your Balm will be a necessity with us hereafter. I regret that there is any obstacle to Its introduction into our hospitals, for I am confident no other remedy in use, would prove so beneficial in a multitude of eases. I believe you can break up any fever with It, if you are called in season; and were I or any of my family ill, I should rather have your reme--dy for almost any disease, without a physician, than to have any physician without your remedy. I regard your Alterative Balm as a wonderful medicine that ought to come into general use, and recommend it to the sick and afflicted everywhere. Truly yours, F. W. KELLOGG, M. C It is unnecessary to say aught in recom mendation of this valuable medicine, as all who have nsed it know and speak of its healing virtues. Every Drugstore in Richmond, and elsewhere, have it for sale. SAMUEL W. FORSHA. Cincinnati, June 3 1874. . 12-3m SI
