|_ Constable Christie Vick was out looking for Landy McGee, Saturday night, with a warrant for his arrest on a surety-of-the-peace proceedings in his pocket.

Constable Vick found od his arrival at Kentland last Friday that the authorities there did not have the man he wanted and the detained man was released.

Newton county people have been even more unfortunate than Jasper county, in the number of deaths by violence the past few months. The Brook Reporter mentions seven such recent deaths, including the three who were killed in the wreck near Kansas City, and Wm. Watt, who was kil'ed by the cars in Carpenter tp., this county And there was one more which it might have added to the list, the young man, Bariett, of Rose Lawn, who was drowned in the Kankakee river, a month or two ago.

Unless the people of the United Btates are drinking more beer and whisky, smoking more cigars and chewing more tobacco than they were a year ago, the officials of the treasury department are unable to understand or explain the unexpected volume of the internal revenue receipts. Instead of falling off $3,300,000 per month, as was figured would be the result of the reduction of the war taxes, the receipts for the first month of the fiscal year will be a million dollars mere than the corresponding month last year. 1 Rosenbaum is selling the only genuine imported cigar ever sold in Rensselaer.
