The incendiary had saturated the floor and cases containing type with kerosene before setting lire to the office. The blaze was discovered by people living on the opposite side of the street in time to save a portion of the office. The postal note, it is said, is about to be done away with. It will be succeeded by the postal scrip. A sheet calling for amounts from one cent to $3 has been prepared from which on the payment of one cent, the amount to be sent will be torn off about the same as an express order. There will be no writing on it of any kind by the postmaster, the sender endorsing the same as a check or draft. The government guarantees its safe transportation.

The livelyJiUlelflowiuJ^ifgß*^ Rev. H. C. Keeley has given a conditional promise to preach the baccalaureate sermon at the request of the graduating class May 21st; and to deliver the oration on decoration day at the request of the committee appointed by the G. A. R., if his appointments at other places can be so arranged. Adam Mann, son of Fred Mann, of near this place, died last Wednesday. The immediate cause of death was lung fever but the deceased had been in a feeble condition ever since meeting with an accident from a boiler explosion about a year ago. The funeral was held from the residence on Friday and the burial took place at the Grovertown cemetery. The Walkerton postoilice falls little short of the requirements of a presidential office. It now pays over S9OO a year, which when increased to SI,OOO will admit it to the presidential class. Postmaster Goit says that the oilice is now paying at the rate of $960 a year and that the business is steadily in creasing. He thinks that it will be imide a presidential office within two years. Prof. Urey will conduct a summer normal in the high school building, beginning May 26. The object of this school will be to give the young people of th® town and surrounding country convenient advantages for mental culture. Although the work will be especially adapted to those intending to teach, yet there will be excellent facilities for those wishing to prepare for higher grade work. There are two tickets in the field to be voted for by the citizens of Walkerton Monday, May 1. The Independent, being non-partisan, has nothing further to say than that, it hopes the citizens will cast their ballots from a business standpoint and with a view to furthering the improvement and interests of the town. In municipal elections politics should be of secondary consideration as compared with home interests. The Valparaiso Messenger says: ‘•The latest project is the construction of a canal from the Kankakee river, at a point near the La Porte-Fort er county line, to the Wabash river, and thence by the Ohio and Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. The Kankakee river, lying far above the waters with which it is to be connected, is the outlet of a drainage basin of more than one thousand square miles east of the point where the canal will cross it.” The following from the LaPorte Argus is good logic and voices our sentiments exactly, as applied to M'alkerton: “Public sentiment ought not to allow anybody to play dog-in-the-

whore that, play | eral progress of the city. If any man I is clearly damaged by improvements pay him reasonably for his loss, but don't let him prevent what is plainly right and the interest of the great mass of the people. This is fair and right, and nothing short of it is right.” Recently a little group of farmers were chatting on the subject of their local papers. One expressed the opinion that it had too many advertisements in it. Another said: “In my opinion the advertisements are far from being the least part of it. I look them over carefully every week, gain at least five times the cost of ray paper every year through the business advantages that I get from them.” Another said. “I know that they pay me well, and I don't think it good policy to find fault with the amount of space taken by advertisers.”— Huntington Herald.

True Type and Hero, the celebrated Clydes, and Baron of Oakland, the Cleveland Bay, together with the fine young trotter, Elector K, are worth the attention of horsemen and others who admire fine horse flesh. These horses can be seen at any time at the stables of Louis DeCoudres. A schoolmaster over in Whitley county after an “unpleasantness” with some of his big boys, entered the , schoolhouse the next morning to find confronting him on the blackboard in large letters, “Our teacher is a donkey.” The school held its breath, anticipating a combined cyclone and earthquake, but the philosophic pedagogue contented himself with adding “driver” to the inscription and opened the school as usual.—Ligonier Leader. Frank Ake, the harnessmaker, is preparing for the spring and summer trade and has just received a large supply of tly nets and dusters.
