An exchange very truthfully re marks that “no man, especially the merchant or land owner, can afford to wras himself up in his own selfishness and withhold encouragement and support from public enterprises. It requires concerted action of the solid men to put a town forward.” A Walkertonite who attended the barbecue at Argos on the 4th inst., says that they had two tables each thirty miles in length and one wagon thirty rods long, and that there were forty thousand people in attendance. As this man is a very strong democrat his overflowing enthusiasm at the time, no doubt, had a gregt deal to do with the size of the crowd and other things. f Charles WisenbaugU met a serious accident last Thursday. While mowing on the Kankakee marsh one of the horses stumbled or became mired and Mr. Wisenbaugh in getting off of the mower to look after the horses got his left foot in the machine the blade cutting a large gash just above the heel and severing one of the tendons. It caused a very serious wound, and may impair the usefulness of the foot. Dr. Arlington was called and dressed the wound, several stitches being required to sew up the gash. The democratic barbecue held at Argos last Tuesday was a gala day for the democratic party in this portion of Northern Indiana. It was a great success, and the democrats of this place who were in attendance speak in enthusiastic terms of the occasion. Ten whole beeves boiled in excellent style were provided for the throngs of visitors, but it is said that the large amount of meat went but a little ways with the large crowd, many not even getting a sniff at the savory fare. The barbecue was held about a half mile from town in the grove of William Yerrick, brother of Father Yerrick, of ■ this place. Ex-Gov. Gray and Claude ’ Mathews spoke during the day, and Hon. B. F. Shively and Hon. C. G. J Conn in the evening. The crowd pres- ] ent is variously estimated at from five J to ten thousand. Rev. Goss delivered a most excellent sermon at the M. E. church last Sunday evening, his topic being “The ' Great Young Woman.” He portrayed the character of the ideal young woman—what she should be to her parents and to her friends. Mr. Goss drew his ideal high but it can not be

said that he overdrew it. His denunciation of the follies to which so many young women of to-day are given, such as gadding the streets, showing too much familiarity with young men, etc., may have seemed to some of the young ladies present to be too severe, * but it certainly was not. Mr. Goss only told the truth and has the very best of authority on his side of the question. Truth does not always come in pleasant guise; at times it seems harsh and forbidding when it is seeking for our best good. The ideal character, while it may seem to some to be too visionary for practical, every day life, is in fact the guiding star of our moral existence, and the nearer our approach to this the nearer to perfection we may attain.

S. C. Urey, Supt. and Prin. The Syracuse Register of last week contains an account of the accidental shooting of Will Strieby, a prominent citizen of that place. Mr. Strieby and Fred Hinderer were out duck shooting when the latter’s gun was accidentally discharged, the shot taking effect in Mr. Strieby’s scalp making a serious wound. At last accounts the wounded man was suffering greatly. Fay Woodard, aged about 14 years, broke the thumb of his right hand, Monday, when in the act of dealing)a “sledge-hammer” blow a la Sullivan fit a sand bag which he had'suspended <n" his gymnasium. Since the Corbeft-

Sullivan fight he, like the majority of ’ the boys in town, has been putting ’ himself in training to become a prize- ’ fighter. His visions of future glory " and conquest in the fistic arena have now, no doubt, undergone considerable ! change. , After sixteen years of experiment- ( ing, Mr. E. S. Carman, editor of the Rural New Yorker, has succeeded in producing a new grain which is a cross between wheat and rye. The hybrid was made by mixing the pollen of wheat and rye blossoms. It is believed now that the new grain is firmly established, and some specimens of the seed have been put on the market. Mr. Carman gives to his new bantling the name of “ryewheat,” and he believes it will yield a highly nitrogenous flour. This of course is not yet certainly known, but new flour will be a welcome addition to choose from, anyhow.—South Bend Times.

A regular, full grown prize fight took place, last Wednesday, three miles west of North Liberty, between two workmen of the Wabash extension. Their names were Ed Free and Jack Fisher, the former living at Huntington and the la^er at Auburn, this state. They ich fought at 180 pounds. Considerable feeling had been growing between them as to which was the best man physically, each claiming to be as good a man as the other. Their fellow workmen took sides with them and a fight to settle the matter was finally decided upon. A purse of $lO a side was put up, a ring formed, and the pugilists went at it, fighting to a finish. In the ninth and last round Fisher threw up the sponge and the victory was declared for the Huntington man.

OBTTUARY OF MRS. LUTITIA WOLFE. Lutitia Martin was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, May 28, 1815. She was the fifth child of a family of fourteen children. Her parents came to Ohio from West Moreland county, Pennsylvania, in the days of Indian trails and flat boats. She was married in Hocking county, Ohio, in 1834, to Leonard Wolfe. In 1837 they came to Indiana and resided in Noble county for one year when they removed to LaGrange county. In 1848 they returned to Noble county and purchashd a farm one and onehalf miles northwest of Ligonier. Her husband died in 1856, leaving her a widow at the age of 41 with a family of ten children, with whom she remained on the farm until 1868, when she removed to the town of Ligonier, and in the fall of 1870 to Walkerton where she resided until her death which occurred October 3, 1392. She was aged 77 years, 4 months and five days. She is survived by one brother and three sisters, and her ten children, all of whom were present at the time of her death except William J. She came of a re markably long lived family. Her mother (Grandma Martin) living to the advanced age of 91. Her children are: Mrs. Martha Gilbert, Walkerton ; William J. Wolfe, Armour, South Dakota; Jane Hostetter, Knox; Ellison Martin Wolfe, Walkerton; Maggie B. Chapman, Fort Wayne; Charles Seymour Wolfe, Ligonier; Rhoda A. Mil ler, Geo. W. Wolfe, Theron A. Wolfe, and Thomas J. Wolfe, Walkerton. She is also survived by 31 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. She united with the Presbyterian church at the age of 15 and never changed uer belief but was a consistent Christian, respected by he many friends by whom she will be greatly missed.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. O. L. Prentice, of Rolling Prairie, at the Salem church, three miles north of Ligonier, Wednesday, Oct. 5, at 1:30 p. m., where the burial took place. Below is an extract from Rev. Prentice’s sermon: “For a little more than two years I was intimately associated with this mother in Israel, being her pastor for that time, and it would seem, consider ing the motherly counsel I was wont to heur from her lips, that my place to day should be among those who mourn, rather than a minister of comfort to the mourning. Mother Wolfe was devotedly attached to the church and all its interests. No service seemed quite complete without her presence. She never, when able to attend, missed a single service of any kind, Her chria character ripe. She seemed so well acquainted with her Saviour that she conversed with Him as with a familiar friend. I never knew hei- to doubt His presence and power or to distrust his love and care. She feared not the removal of the veil and the beholding of his face. Some time in the month of June last I visited this sister in company with an elder of the church at her home, and read her favorite chapter in the Bible, the fourteenth of John, and prayed with her. She told me then t hat she felt that it would not be long until she should realize fully the blessedness of the sweet promises there made. Then she told me of the kind ness of her neighbors and of the tender solicitude of her children for her com fort and welfare and with tremulous voice and tearful eyes expressed her sympathy and interest for my success in the ministry.” Misses and children’s red goat shoes with stockings to match at the Globe.
