Mr. Carly, of North Liberty, performing thec.eremony. The happy couple will make Michigan City theiy home, where the groom is engaged in the railroad business. An exchange says that a folded newspaper placed under the coat in the small of the back is an excellent Substitute for an overcoat. There is considerable warmth in a neu spaper, that s a fact. Many a man has become heated by simply reading an article in a newspaper, and at such times he wants to make it hot for the editor, too.—Norristown Herajd. We will not vouch for the efficacy of the following proceedure in ease of a cinder, or any other offending foreign body in the eye, but a medical journal—The Summary—does. If an offending par* tide gets in your eye, do not, as is the rule, rub that eye; rub the other one, and continue to rub for two or three minutes, and the object in the eye is dislodged. Try it, report success, and we will publish the result —for ten cents a Jine. Nothing little about the IndepenpFNT.

It is an encyclopedia upon the wall; it knows all, or at least talKs about everyti ing with equal self-pos-session-history, science, finance, strategy. commerce. It meddles with every subject. We wish to call your attention to two typographical errors in the poem enti tied “Anarchy” in last week's issue. In the second verse, third line, the word “seeking” should be “reeking.” In the fourth rerse, third line, “whose” shou d be “where.” The scholars of the North Liberty high school will give an entertainment in the new brick hall at that place. Saturday evening, Jan. 7. A drama, farce, ami other features will be presented. The entertainment will no doubt be a meritorious and interesting one.

It is the earth that ge s the man” Goshen Tinies : A 3 year-old heifer belonging to Mr. Robert Oliver, of Jefferson, county, smelled out some corn that her owner had secreted in a hollow log, and crawled in after it. Then she ate herself so full that she couldn’t get out. After three days imprisonment her owner found her nearly twenty feet in the log. She was sawed out, apparently little the worse for her adventure. The Town ^Council met in regul r session Tuesday evening, and transacted the usual routine. The question of sidewalking the street from Avenue F to the school-house was di finitely settled. Down she goes. The matter of putting more sidewa'k on important streets was talked up by the members of the Board, and it is quite liKely that improvements in that line will be made in the spring. One hundred and fifty men. were thrown out of employment by the burning of the South Bend toy works last week. The fire started from some rags saturated with turpentine, which broke into flames while a boy was attempting to put them in the stove. They took fire so suddently that he d.ew the shovel back scattering the burning rags in all directions over the floor. The loss is estimated at $50,000. Wedding Cliinies.

A sacrificing wife is dear, Her husband well should prize her But the best wife this time o’ year Is a sealskin sacrificer. Goshen Democrat: The editor of the Valparaiso Messenger is 48 years old and weighs 49 to 90 pounds, and is the same gentleman that Gen. Haseall had arrested during the war, and taken to Indianapolis to be hanged. But when the General look at him, his heart failed him, and he ordered the editor home again. The latest thing in the line of a swindle for the farmers to steer clear of is a very innocent looking individual who wants to paint tile roof of your barn for a night's lodging, and in the morning wants you to sign a recommendation to his qualifications. The recommendation turns up at a neighboring bank in a few days in the shape of promissory note. “There are problems in arithmetic That pale a fellow's gills, And algebraic corkers And geometric pills. But the toughest of all problems, I hat with dread a husband fills. Is to buy the earth “at special sale” For to small $ bills.” FOR SALE By the Williams-Henderson Co. The following property is for sa’e by the above named firm, at good bargains: Fifteen head of horses on time or cash. A good farm of GO acres, located one and one-fourth mile north and one-half mile east of Teegarden. Easy payments. Fifteen head of milch cows and young cattle. A ncwspap< r goes hand in hand with progress, profit and public welfare. It is peculiarly the friend of business interests in that it competes with none, ami best conserves the the interests of a community when it is itself prosperous. In building up a newspaper in its midst, a town builds itself up. A judiciously edited and honestly conducted newspaper deservves to thrive and its home thrives with it. A good farm of 80 acres, located one and one-fourth mile north west of Walkerton, is for sale at a big sacrifice. The owner will sell it for .seven hundred dollars less than he was offered for it one year ago. The land is under good cultivation, and the buildings are all in good condition. Terms, one-half cash and the balance in five years. For further particulars call at this office, or aldress, W. A. Endley, Walkerton, Ind. Notice to the People of Walkerton and St. Joseph County. I have put in the Walkerton Mills a corn and cob crusher with which I will grind for toll er cash. Hoping to receive a portion of the patronage of the community, and thanking yon for past favors. I am truly yours, G. A. Resting, Proprietor Walkerton Mills. Last Tuesday evening, Jan. 3. at the M.

The Political Outlook in Cass and Miami Counties. A trusty and faithful reporter for the Independent having learned that Commissioner Place had been making a tour through Cass and Miami counties took occasion to call upon that gentleman at his office on Avenue F, for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, something of the political outlook in that region. The Commissioner greeted the scribe with a pleasant “Good morning, have a seat, Mr . ” Whereupon the timid reporter ventured: “Commissioner, you have been making a tour through Miami and Cass counties, lam credibly informed.” “Yes sir, spent some time in that section, the major portion in the cities of Peru and Logansport.” “What is the political outlook in that section, Commissioner?” “Well, I didn’t talk politics much, with the exception of having a little squabble with my brother, who is an ardent Republican.” “You talked mostly with Democrats, Commissioner, did you not ?” “Well, the message seems to take well down there, they all seem to be well pleased with it, anyhow.” “Commissioner, if Blaine should be the next Republican candidate, what, in your opinion, will be the result?” “There is no question but that Cleveland will be re-elected, no matter w’ho the republican candidate is. ” “How does hay rule at present, Mr. Place” “Hay, just now, is a little stiff.” The reporter smiled and asked Mr. Place for a chew of plug, and sauntered on.

First impressions andear'y habits are the most enduring. All the faculties should be equa ly exercised in any way consistent with the exigencies of active lite. The mind should be impressed with the idea before it takes cognizance of the sign which represents it. The method of nature is the arche- ' type of all methods, and especially the method ol learning languages. The ultimate objects of the study should always be kept in view that the end be not forgotten in the pursuit of the means. Learners should yet do with their masters, what they can do by themselves that they may have time to do with him what they can not do by themselves. In a class the time must be so unployed that no learner shall at any time be idle, and the business so contrived, that the learners of different degrees of advancement shall derive equal advantage from the instructor. Locke is very strong against great severity, The children should be taught self-denial ;• but on the other side “if the mind be curbed and humbled too much in children, if their spirits be debased and humbled much by too strict a hard over them, they lose all their vigor and industry and are in a worse state than in the other extreme.” Patti Raticr.
