The INDEPENDENT acknowledges with thanks the receipt of a complimentary ticket to the New Carlisle fair to Dbe held from Sept. 25 to 28. These fairs have been a success in the past, and the one this season promises to eclipse in interest all former exhibitions of the kind. It is indeed a grand thing for New Carlisle, It is singular, indeed, how much some folks know about law, who never read ten lines in a legal work in their lives, But of all the disgusting wiseacres ou | earth it is those people who know so mueh about diseases and their cure who can’t pronounce the name of a single dlsease or its remedy correctly to save their lives. The less some folks knmbthe more they assume to know. A terrible wreck occurred on the B. & O. road about twenty-five miles east of Mansfield, 0., on Wednesday night of last week by which one passenger coach containing G. A. R. men was wrecked, and some three or four persons killed outright, and a large number wouuded. Johm W. Stetler, of Syracuse, Ind., was in the wreck, but came out with slight bruises.

Jouxson, Tyner City: A large balloon was found on a farm in Kankakee township, Thursday. It measured some 30 feet in diameter, and contained a card entitling the finder to a dozen fine portraits at a Rochester, Ind., studio. —LaPorte Herald-Chroni-cle. Tudiazapolis Journal: Simce the present management of the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road, now the Lake Erie & Western, toox control of the property the improvement to the roadbed and to the equipments run north of Peru, are said to be fully as much as that of any part of the road. In years past this part of the road was neglected. As a result of improving it and paying some attention to the wishes of putrons of this portion of the road the earnings are showing large gains. September with an "R” ushered in the oyster season. The prospeet is that this season the crop of oysterstrom all the waters in the neighborhood of Now York will be of excellent guality and extremely plentiful. The crop nf! the East river will bbe unusually tine. The crop of oysters from the south } side of Long Island promises to be fine. 1 Rockaways, which are gathered in Jam- | aica Bay und all along the shore lrumi Rockaway inlet as far east as Freeporet, | are in better condition than known tnj be at this season of the year for many vears.

Harris, of Marshall county, chairman of the Greenback Labor congressional convention, called the meeting to order: Harvey Harris, of Michigan City, was chosen permament chairman, and Dr, | I. N. Poffenberger, of Walkerton, secretary. A resolution was carried endorsing the course pursued by B. F. Shively in Congress, and pledging the couvention to his support. The convention then made Shively its unanimous nominee for Representative in congress from the 13th district. The indictment against Henry Augustine was dismissed by the prosecuting attorney last Monday, and the prisoner set at liberty. This was done on the ground that the prosecutor did not believe the prisoner could be convicted before any jury that could be obtained in LaPorte county, and it must be admitted that past experience justifies the belief. After his discharge the young man immediately left town and went to Westville with a party of his old friends who have stood by him all the time. This probably ends the celebrated Augustine murder case, and the different opinions about the guilt of the young man will remain as they are.—LaPorte Argus. New Drug Store.

An exchange says prairie chickens, like other natives of the wilds, are opposed to civilization and are beiug pushed back toward the frontier with the advance of the immigrant, During the last ten yvears they have been moving west =0 fast that they are now seldom seen in Indiana, Ilineis, lowa and Minnesota, and now flock in western Nebraska and Dakota, Hunting parties which have been out in this part of the state say they saw no chickens, It 3 is true that oceasjounlly a flock or two may be tound sbout the Kankakee, but it is very seldom, Roll of Honor.

The crops in the state of Kansas promise a greater yield this year than has been known in the history of the state, and the prosperity of its farmers is assured. The large number of farmers in the eastern states who wish to see the country at harvest time and im- | mediately after, has induced the “Santa Fe Route,” the great railway system of Kansas, to make exceptionally low rates from Chicago and other stations, to all points in Kansas, and the lines east of Chicago will make correspondingly low rates up to Chicago. Ask your ticket agent for particulars or write | to Emmons Blaine, General Passenger | Agent “Santa Fe Route,” Chicago, and vou will be sent an accurate map of the state of Kausas, together with desired information.

Ford, who died at her hoigg in Tyner City, Aug. 18th, 1888 ' What is our life? : That which we here call life, } f« cnly death. “A little sun, a litde rain, And then night sweeps along wne plain, And all things fade away."” Look now, and see; within the borders of the dusty way, That sad-faced, slowly-moving crowd! Not of the aged, nor middle age, is she, Who lies incased within the casket, swud the shroud. But young, and fair, by loving one’s surrounded, Life's road seemed brightly lying on before; Until the angel death that euemy to all mankind, Btood at her door Evenso. And in the midst of these who would have shielded her, Her spirit fled, Emma is gone! She rests among the dead. No more her willing hands will atd, In purposes for consort, or for cheer, No more the ambitious footsteps will be heard, She is not here. So, toward the grave All tootsteps tend, “There is no union kere of hearts, Thatdoth not here find end.” . —M. A. WETHERBY, | Tyner, City, Ind., Aug. 29th, 1838. | Hovey and Chase. : Chas. M.
