The Ram’s Horn hits the nail on the head when it says: “You can tell more about a man’s character by trading horses with him once than you can by hearing him talk for a year in prayer meeting.” A strange chap was working our business men one day last week on an advertising scheme. He would agree to send the business man one thousand cards with his advertisement on and a year’s subscription to any paper published in the United States all for 62 cents. It was a most tempting bait and several bit. , The Independent office has just >

At last the prospects look bright for our neighbor, North Liberty, getting a railroad. Two gangs of men are now i engaged in grading for the proposed railroad, four miles east and one mile west of that place. The name of the road is the Chicago & Montpelier, and will run east and west between the two cbies from which it takes its name. It would be such a good stroke of fortune for that place to get an east and west road that it would make even a Walkertonite feel like rejoicing with the North Libertyites over their happy deliverance.

Conductor George Hayes, of the. Van dalia, until recently a resident of South Bend, but who now lives at Terre Haute, has met with a sad misfortune. His little two-year old daughter Mabel while playing near the grate slipped and fell into the open grate in which a glowing fire was burning. Before the poor little thing could be rescued she was so badly burned that death ensued within a few hours.

The pulpit, the press and the grave-stone are git at saints making triumvirate. Ex. A new- counterfeit treasury note has recently made its appearance in the east and will doubtless seen find its way into western business circles. It is said to be a very good one, the engraving being an almost exact duplicate of the genuine bill, but the paper and printing is inferior and afi ads the best opportunity for detection. The denomination of the bill is $5, and it is a counterfeit of seiies A, 1880, W. S. Rosecrans, register; J. N. Huston, treasurer. The portrait, vignette, and other work on the note is much inferior to the genuine. In the title “United States” the “I” is not dotted, although the heavy shading of the dot is there.—Ex. FILLED WITH SHOT Joseph F. Keltner, the barber at No. 131 west Washington street, and Frank Cimmerman, of the A. S. Kern drygoods store, left the city early yesterday morning for North Liberty to join friends on a hunt. They arrived at Mie village and had breakfast, after , wUieW in company with some friends

they went in the country about a mile 1 east of North Liberty. They seared a bevy of quail and circled around it, i Joe working around until osposite i Scott Whitaker, of North Liberty, and near a large bush. About this time a rabbit caught Whitaker’s eye and taking aim he lired not noticing that Joe was near by. The shot proved disastrous to Joe who received a large portion of it in his right hand, leg, arm and on the right side of his head, lie was stunned for the time, but recovered himself and with the assistance of the others walked to the village where Dr. Campbell attended him. Later in the day the two South Benders came home and Joe was taken to his home at No. 720 west Huston street, where he now is. The shot was No. 6, and most of it has been removed. There is no danger from the wounds unless blood poisoning sets in, and everything will be done to-prevent this.—South Bend Tribune.

Philips, an enthu- j siastic Indiana sportsman, at the Palmer yesterday. ‘’Time was. ten years ago. when the Kankakee was the best duck hunting region on earth, but during the la t ten years it ha/ been fail ng gradually. Then club houses were scattered along the river banks fnun Riverside to Auo ra. and men fror II over the land hied themselves there in the fall to hunt ducks. I Clubs from New Y< rk.

Now the I I । club houses are faking in: > decay, and ’ • noted ami distinguished sportsmen ; ’ I have sought other scenes. The ■ ’ ! reasons for the change are many. ’ " The game laws of Indiana did n t I furnish proper protection, and meree- ' nary sportsmen supplied the markets. : • keeping up sm han incessant banking I ■ i that game was slaughtered needlessly. । The night shooting of ducks drove the • i birds to change their flight, and there dis not one bird there now io I."'* ; ten years ago.

could spend a day in the marshes witbi out running against a railroad track, i but they are found every five miles now. । Besides these causes a great deal of । the old marsh land has been drained and reclaimed, and the game territory' ( is not so extensive as of yore. It is only a matter of a few years, I think, when the Kankakee will cease to be . famed as a stream dear to the hunter. ’ There is enough material yet for fair ; sport, but the ducks in their southern Hight never gave the district so wide a berth as they have given it this fall.” Why suffer with sick headache and billiousness when Simmons Liver Regulator will cure you. The Lady Godiva must have had exceptionally long hair since it completely concealed her lovely person. Since Ayer’s Hair Vigor came into use such examples are not so rare as formerly.

Amos I. Mead, the 14-year old son of Joseph H. Mead, died very suddenly, last Friday noon, shortly after eating his dinner in Mr. Ketcham’s store. He was supposed to be in perfect health, a very red-cheeked, stout looking boy. Living some distance from the school, he was in the habit of taking his dinner, and in company with his two or three companions, he ate it in Mr. Ketcham’s store. .The boys had gone out for only a few minutes, when Amoa sat down on a box and told Ernest Pomeroy to come to him, that his head hurt. Ernest at once saw something very serious was the matter and called assistance and a doctor was sent for. Dr. Borton arrived, but to no purpose, as the lad expired in a few minutes. He thinks death was- caused by the rupture of a blood vessel at the base of the brain. His lather got to him but not until just before he expired. It was a terrible shock for the family, as he was supposed to be hearty and well. The funeral tdtk place at the Presbyterian Church, ^ in <t!iy artornuvu, at a;W, conducedLattimore, and the rWh® us were buried in Oak Hill cemetery.—Plymouth Republican.
