Congress has been agitating the subject of reducing letter postage to one cent. It now develupes mat the late Vice President, Henry XV .son, was not Henry Wilson at but was simply, Jerry Calbath. Put he made just as good a Vice President. Why can’t Walkerton have a good, nine respectable 20—round prize fight ? It’s about the popular amusement of the times. Yes, let a couple of respectable Walkertonites arrange for a slugging match for a purse of 50 cents or so, and knock out an eye or two. Gordon N. Murray, son of Hon. C. L. Murray, of South Bend, has purchased the Nappanee News of Mr. Holdemar, and is now at the helm. Mr. Murray comes from a family of journalists, has had considerable experience in the business, and the X ew s under his management will no doubt prove a success. department Commander Chase has ordered the Auton Post, G. A. R., of South Bend, to give up its charter. The opinion of the Auton Post and of Posts in all parts of the state is, that Commander Chase had no justifiable excuse for issuing such an order, yet the members have decided to return the charter at once with all books and papers belonging to the department, and will hereafter hold their meetings independent of the state organization'. The Auton Post, named in memory of John Auton, the first soldier fr;n Indiana killed in the late war, was c t ganized in 1866 and is by ten years the oldest Post in the state. Old soldier* are now obtaining pen- . sions who have been trying for the last fifteen or twenty years and failed until the present administration. It is also asserted that double the number of pensions are being granted under Democratic rule in the same length of time than were under Republican rule. If this be true there is a nigger in the woodpile somewhere. Either the Republican party was derelict of duty or the Democrats are granting pensions which, under existing laws, should not be granted. It will not do foi *he Republican party to say that it did not have the time in all that twenty years to grant a merited pension to one who had tried and tried and was compelled to give up in despair. As above stated, there’s a nigger in the woodpile. THAT IS A TEMPTATION. Mr. Jacob M. Girl, who is teaching the Jamestown school, will attend school at Valparaiso as ' , oon as his present term is completed Mr. Girl is one of the most faithful Bachers in the county, and a very fine young man personally, and we are glad to see him fit himself for a desirable position in life. —Elkhart Daily Sentinel. The temptation quite overcomes us and we yield. We trust we al 11 not be harshly condemned but we must say it, Such a name’ Why, when that man marries, his wife will still be a Girl If he marries a widow, she becomes a Girl. If children are born to him, all his boys will be girls. There never was a more trying name. What a family of Girls it will be I Father, mother, sons and daughters, all Girls.—LaPorte Public Spirit. The local newspaper is taken by the best people in every locality. It is the only advertising medium that is bought and paid for by the persons whose attention the advertiser is desirous of attracting. The attention of the subscriber to a regular newspaper is invited to an announcement in it without any officious solicitation, almost without his knowing ft. Every man is conscious that he thinks much more of the paper for which he pays than of any occasional copy of a gratuitous sheet or circular which is thrust in at his door. An advertisement in his own paper sttracts his attention and secures (to some extent) his confidence, while the same notice under other circumstances would pass unheeded. The great point, the strong reason why the newspaper is the best advertising medium is because it is paid fob by the recipient. The subscriber pays the actual cost of manufacture and distribution. The publisher can, therefore, give publicity to an advertisement at a much lower price per hundred or per thousand than could be afforded under other circumstances. Nothing can compete successfully with the newspaper as a general advertising medium.

DAKOTA LETTER. The xoLowihg excerpts from private iettors to us from our uncle, J. B. Coomer, former'y of LaGrange Co., this state, but now of Blizzard Dakota, may be of interest to some of our readers who were familiar with the writer. “Huron, Dak., Jan. 15, ’BB. I presume you have heard of the terrible storm here of the 11th and 12th inst. On the morning of the 11th the wind was from the southeast blowing a gale of blinding snow all night until daylight. The 'morning of the 12th was warm and it was my intention to go to the city but a neighbor dropped in to see me and I remained at home. My wife, Nellie, was hanging up clothes on the line. My neighbor >at looking out of the west window. He said the wind had changed to the northwest. I got np to look out the dWbr, and at that instant the wind struck us, making everything jingle. We made haste to get the clothes off the line. It was impossible to see a tiling, but by keeping held of the line we managed to find the house. One could not see a house five feet away, so blinding was the whirling snow. My neighbor had to stay all night with us. My daughter, Ada, was at school, four blocks from our house. We felt for her safety, but Mr. Eli Brockman, who lived about 400 feet from the school-house, tied a rope to his house and struck out for the schoolhouse, and rescued 17 of the scholars, taking them to his home for the night; 12 were taken to A. S. Bloodgood’s. All were safe and sound. My hogs were completely covered with three feet of snow; the cows stood in snow up to their sides; the ch,cken coop was full of snow, and we put the chickens in the cellar. The drift is 12 feet high between the house and barn. The horrible news of deaths in the blizzard is still coming in. We had no forewarning of the storm. Sergeant Glen got caught, as you will see by the paper. He always keeps us posted in regard to storms, but this one came like a flash of lightning. No one can tell its fury, not even those who saw it It was Egyptian darkness; everybody was insane. A woman went out after a scuttle of coal not a rod from the house a id wandered away one-half mile to a neighbor’s. Another went to the well for water not twenty feet from the house and wandered away to a neighbor’s and where she staid all night." ♦ “Huron, Dak., Jan. 25, ’BB. Editor Independent: A few days ago while looking over the Chicago Herald I noticed a sketch of the life of Isaac P. Gray, the present governor of Indiana. I knew him well in the fall of ’62, 1 was high private in Co. C, 100th Indiana. “Cap” H. Crocker was our captain, We were sent to Madison, Ind., on the Ohio river, as the rebs had threatened to burn the city and invade Indiana, and at that time we thought Indiana was full enough of rebs without permitting any importations. Well do I remember the night we were marched up before the State House and O. P. Morton, our war governor, stepped to the front with a few remarks, saying that Madison had been threatened by the rebels, that we had no guns but we could take pitchforks and shovels and go for them. His speech was answered by cheers, “yes!” yes!" So we were armed with the old Belgian musket; every time you fired one of them off, the tube, cylinder or lock would fly off. They were made out of the poorest kind of pot-metal. Col. Isaac P. Gray was ordered to Madison some time afterwards. We moved camp up the river on the Indiana side between Madison and Carlton, Ky., there being an easy ford to cross the river at that place. Our camp was in a beautiful place. Nice grass and trees and good, clean barracks. That kind of soldiering was fun. Our camp was named Camp Gray. About this time Col. Gray issued the very strict orders that no one should be permitted to come inside of camp with or without the countersign, which, that night, W’as, “hardscrabble,” it being a Hoosier word (not Greek), and was chosen on account of the hard work to climb the hills of that locality. I was on beat No. 4 on the road leading to our camp. It was dark and raining very hard. Some time between 9 and 10 o’clock I heard a horse come dashing down the road in mud and water; when the horseman drew near enough I called a halt and ordered him to dismount. He obeyed, and endeavored to convince me that he was Col. Gray, that he had the countersign, and that he was getting wet; but I remembered my orders. I called the officer of the guard, who was some Jittle time in getting around. His name was John K. Morrow, our first lieutenant. As soon as the officer of the guard came the colonel was relieved from his uncomfortable position. The following morning after guard mount I was invited to Col. Gray’s headquarters. Perhaps you can imagine my feelings. The colonel bade me be seated. He looked up somewhat severely into my youthful and rather verdant countenance, and asked: “Were you on beat No. 4 last night between the hours of 9 and 10?” “I was.” "Do you remember of my coming there and wanting to come in ?” Here I became more embarrassed, yet answered that there was some one on horseback came there, but that my orders were to know no one approaching me from the outside of our guard, lines. The colonel asked: “Do you intend to obey all orders as strictly as you did this ?” I gave him the assurance that I did. After this incident Col. Gray and myself were good friends, notwithstanding the fact that I had made him stand, in the rain half an hour. 1 almost forgot to tell you what the punishment for my offense was - i three days’ pass to Madison, or wherever I desired to go.”
