A birthday dancing party was given a boy aged one hundred and eight years, in Birmingham, Ohio, last week, nt which party he danced bo much that he died from exhaustion. Foolish boy. As eminent an authority as the Chicago Herald says that it is by no means elegant for a gentleman to hang onto a lady’s arm when walking. It intimates that it is not just the thing for a great burley fellow to depend upon a frail feminine woman for support when promenading. As for ourself wo don’t pretend to know anything about it. A Texas editor, having charged that the father of a rival editor had been in the penitentiary was notified that he must retract or die. Ho retracted as follows: ‘Wo find that we were mistaken in our statement last week that the Bugle editor’s sire had oeen in the penitentiary. The efforts of his friends to have bis sentence commuted to imprisonment for life failed, and he was hanged. Our friend Endley, of the Walkerton Independent, comes back at the Tribune on account of those little scrimmages in the Sixth ward on election day, and wa ts to know if we ever witnessed such work up there in the “old district.” And we cannot help thinking what a splendid place our Sixth ward would be for Editor Endley to get in the play of his fists. Ho is missing a grand opportunity at peaceful Walkerton.—New Albany Tribune. We have no time to while away in small towns. Kept real busy here kill, ing delinquent subscribers. A dispatch from South Bend, dated Monday, says that Clay township, St. Joe coanty, is the scene of a black diphtheria epidemic in its worst form. The disease was brought from Elkhart a few days ago, and several diseases have resulted. Three deaths have occurred and many people are critically sick. The board of health has taken action. The daughter of John Hover died Sunday and was buried Monday morning. It is reported that the tongue of a little girl putrifled so as to run from her mouth. Stringent measures have been adopted to stop the disease. Another effort to have the anarchists in Joliet released is to be made. The Illinois authorities saved themselves a deal of trouble when they hanged the associates of those in prison, to say nothing of the favor conferred upon society. —South Bend Times. We, as we feel quite sure that the majority at least of the citizens of South Bend and country round about do, like Brother Stoll and his paper, the Times; but way down deep in our heart, as we feel quite sure the majority do not, we don’t like the sentiment expressed in the above Times’ paragraph. An exchange calls attention to the fact that the taking of the census begins June 2. In cities or towns of 10,000 or more inhabitants the work must be finished within two weeks from the beginning of work. In the country each voting precinct is a census district, and one man will do the work of that district. People everywhere may as well understand at the start that every question asked by the census man must be answered. It is the United States government that asks the question. Moreover the answer must be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. There is a severe penalty for misleading a census enumerator or telling a lie.—Ex. Won’t that be a stumper for some women who have to tell their exact ages! The Bremen Enquirer displays some good horse sense in the following observation: ‘The friends of a sorely defeated candidate gain but little if anything by howling that it was all personal grievances that defeated their man. Shades of night! A candidate who has a score or so of personal enemies in his immediate vicinity for purely personal reasons is certainly objectionable. If he is an individual who makes enemies of his neighbors on all sides of him, much less is he fit for public places than if the objection to him was based on some one disqualifying cause.’ —Avilla New’s. The News is entitled to just as much credit as is the Enquirer, if the squib is'worth anything. It was original with the Independent, and appeared in Volume XV., No. 46, May 10. We noticed that the Enquirer reproduced it without giving credit. ’Twas an oversight, of course. The sorely defeated candidate alluded to was defeated right here in Walkerton, the advocates of said candidate being the shining mark of the above paragraph.

ENDLEY Sells PURE DRUGS.

Veterans of the Civil War. As a part of the census of the people to be taken during the month of June special provision has been made by congress for ascertainining the names of surviving soldiers, sailors, and marines who were mustered into the service of the United States during the war of the rebellion, and of the widows of soldiers, sailors, and marines who have died. In connection with this special census of veterans the organization or vessel in which they served, the term of service in each case, and present residence will be taken by the census enumerators. In the case of widows, information regarding the service of their deceased husbands is also required. The importance of accurate statements concerning the military record of each participant in the late war should not be underestimated. It should be the duty, moreover, of every veteran soldier or sailor to see that the enumerator is placed in possession of tho necessary information concerning his own service. If he can not be at home when enumerator calls ho should leave a proper memorandum in the hands of his wife or other member of his household, so that the work of the census may not be delayed, and also that there may be no doubt as to the accuracy of the statements concerning his service which may be given to the census enumerator. That there may be no question as to the points to be covered by this memorandum, it may be well to state that the the special inquiries to be made concerning veterans of the civil war include the name, the company and the regiment or vessel in which they served, their late rank, the dates of enlistment and discharge, tho length of service in years, months and days, and their present postoffice address. Where a soldier or sailor re-enlisted or served in more than one organization or vessel, he should be very careful to give the term of service in each instance, and to cover each enlistment. In giving the organization care should be taken to distinguish the arm of the service, as infantry, cavalry, artillery, etc., and if a person served under an assumed name, his statement should bo made to cover both the name under which he served and the true name by which he is now known Veterans of the war generally will recognize and appreciate the value of this special census to them, and they should aid the census enumerators in getting true statements in every way possible. Without their co-operation correct results cannot bo reached. LA BAZ. Quite a number of farmers are not done yet planting cornThere has been so much wet weather, that some are not ploughing.
