The Iroquois Press Club, composed of the younger members of the jour nalistic profession, held an interesting and enjoyable session at Mishawaka last Saturday. The club was organized at Valparaiso in August, 189’2, With H. B. Darling as president. A Plymouth pastor married a couple in his study the other night, and the groom slipped him an envelope. The happy couple departed, and the reverend gentleman evened the envelope and found the following note: ‘Tf she turns out as well as I think she will I will come back and pay you for your services.’’ A peculiar case of affection as pertaining to the lower animals exists in this place. William Teeples has a cat which, ever since it was a kitten, has been a constant companion of chickens. It refuses to mingle in cat society and seems to have a particular

fondness for chickens. It is with them most of the time, following them I around in the flay time and sleeping I I with them in the coop at night. The editor of the, Plymouth Repub- I ' lican was accosted by a belligerentl ' chap the other morning who was boil- ' ing mad-because the editor had “put | that piece in the paper about him.” He called the Republican man some 1 hard names and the latter, although ; not a lighting man, found it necessary I to give the fellow a swat in the mouth. i The editor writes up the affair quite I humorously. A man named Poe was found dead near a culvert east of Stillwell last Monday. It was thought he was killed by a train, but the latest impression is that he may have been murdered. It is said that one of the gang of Fish lake ice cutters stole an overcoat and Poe was deputized by a justice to serve papers on the suspected one. Poe did not return, and the discovery of his dead body has aroused the suspicion that he may have been the victim of foul play.

Firestone, located at Mount Hop?, Kas., says: ‘•Have now settled here, where my daughter married and came to live. I expect to stay here. All are well, and join in ’ sending best regards to all old friends.’’ —Plymouth Republican. Translated from the French: A maiden fair with sun-kissed hair came trippling down the street ; the air was ke^n, her age was ‘steen,’ but gee whiz! wasn't she sweet? The sidewalk was sleek and she went down quick with a jolt that shook out her curls, and the words that she used must be excused, for she's one of our best girls. Dr. Crandall, an old phvsician of LaPorte, met death in a peculiar man ner one day last week. He was found dead in his sleigh while going to : a patient in the country. The horse was traveling along unguided ami the doctor bareheaded was sitting in the sleigh with his head bowed when discovered by a farmer. Apple pexy was the cause of death. The doctor was 71 years of age. On last Monday evening at a few minutes before eight o'clock the moon

was in conjunction with Jupiter, passing so close that- (hey seemed to touch each other, while earlier in the eve ning, at about six o'clock, had the sky been clear the eonjuction of the moon and Mais might have been observed. On Wednesday evening Mars and Ju piter formed a brilli mt spectacle in the clear heavens, their conjunction taking place at 11 p. m. The South Bend Times is credibh informed that the swamp land over about Remington, in the Kankakee region, now finds ready purchasers at $75 an acre. Tois is one of the practical results of judicious draining and tiling. Ten years ago these lands were insidered high at $25 an acre. A number of Illinois farmers have become purchasers of these lands. They had splendid corn crops last fall, and railroad facilities to move the same are wholly inadequate. We find the following in that Indian town, Harbor Springs Michigan, Arlesian Well: ‘-Peter Wa-ba-now-son, living at No. 492 Arcade, who on Wednesday night last tried to drown his voice and paint the town carmine, was laid away in his barn for further delivery. Thursday morning he was carried home very stagnant and when laid out three mice ran out of his trousers leg. Some one of his colleagues asked his wife what they should do. She requested them to take him back to the

1 ■ ' barn and set him again. Patent applied for. There must be something in presentiments; there are so many instances of people forecasting correctly their own approaching doom that but little room is left for one to be skeptical on this point. Perhaps, if the subject could be fathomed, a plausible reason, based upon psychological facts, would ,be found to make clear this peculiar manifestation of the mind. As an illustration showing the force of presentiments we take the following from the LaPorte Argus: “It appears that Geo. Dorland had a { presentiment that something serious would happen before he started for Indianapolis. Before he left home he said he greatly disliked to go and returned and kissed his wife and child- ; ren the second time before leaving. On his way to the depot he met a friend and bid him good-bye, with the remark that they might nese ’ meet again. Whether it came from a general tear of danger from traveling during such cold and stormy weather or from a m ?re direct warning is not j known,.”

LaPorte Argus: Joshua Watson sold ninety-nine live hogs in this city Wednesday that averaged 310 pounds in weight. The price paid is said to be cents a pound, and they amount I cd to nearly $2,500. The funeral of George (’.

Youra| respect fully, T. J. Hkei u 1 John Karn sold his walnut timber for thirty dollars per thousand to a firm in Plymouth. Good, the lumber contractor from Teegarden, bought the lumber on the Oglebee farm oecopied by Mr. Spalding, east of town, for twelve hundred and fifty dollars. It will be hauled immediately to Tee-! garden and sawed by Mr. Ford.--Walkerton I xma rxDFXT. Here is another evidence that wal-; nut ought to be planted as a means of profit in the years to come. We know an army comrade that went west after the close of the war who took up a I soldier claim of IGO acres and his wife j took up a tree claim adjoining, of the same number of acres. The comrade proceeded to cultivate his lands and the wife planted a barrel of walnuts that she took with her. We saw the comrade a few years ago and he informed us that he had his farm under the highest cultivation, had large barns and excellent dwelling but the wife’s land was worth three times that of his without a building on it simply because of its walnut groves, and yet it had not cost her a cent beyond what she had paid the government as the land cultivated by leasers and the nuts from the trees had paid the taxes and kept the trees protected. He said that the trees were then twen^| years old. were of fair size and thrifty and were adding at, least one dollar in| growth every year to each tree, ami as there were several thousand freest they were earning several thousand , dollars yearly. They will be a fortune I in their old age or for their children, I and though it is a slow process and looks as though one would hardly live to realize on a walnut grove in this ! country, yet one has the satisfaction i of seeing them grow and know that they are as good as gold to their chiL j dren at least.—Bristol Banner.

BY OUR REPORTER. | The Presbyterian church has long felt the need of more thorough organj ization, and (his has at last been ac complished. At the close of the Sabbath morning service. J. J. Miller ami I. F. Place were ordained deacons and ; in the evening N. B. shoemaker and IS. J. Nicoles were ordained elders. After the ordination of the elders j twelve persons were baptized and with |svven, utimfs were publicly received meinWishtp. Both the Milling and evening service were im■gosskve and will not soon pass out of ■rhe memory f th"-.- in attendance, if At the evening service the church was completely packed from pulpit to entrance, but notwithstanding the large : congregation perfect attention was ■given and all seemed eager to catch i every word of the gospel truth as it fell from the lips of evangelist H. C. Keeley. Rev. Keeley is stirring the town from center circumference. His convincing logic, vivid illustrations. and boldness in denouncing sin are attracting large crowds and lead- , ing many to think who long ago closed their hearts against the wooings of the Spirit. The good work still goes on and several more have united with the church this week and will be publicly received next Sabbath evening.
