Robbins, an attorney who formerly lived in Walkerton and was a member of the St. Joe county liar, tiled suit against S. M. Gorrell, publisher of Ihe Starke (’aunty Dem ocrat, for $5,000 damages for libel. Ihe alleged libel consists in the pub licaiion by the Democrat of a set of resolutions said to have been passed by a jnrv before which Robbins was engaged in trying a damage suit winch n fleets on the able attorney. One of the resolutions reads’ ‘'Resolved, That 11 R R ibbins is a menace to the pence and quiet of the community, and for the protection of society should be at once disbarred mid dehorned." The resolutions were only passed in jest and the editor in commenting on them intimated that they expressed a great deni of truth. Mr. Gorrell has retained Judge G. W. Beeman, Hon. IL A. 1.

The Rochester Sentinel says there is no telling where the trouble resulting ( from a mortgage will end. We have heard of a man who mortgaged his ( faim to get his wife a pair of ear ( rings. 'Die wife took in washing from the summer boarders to pay the interest on the mortgage, and the first day lost one of the diamonds in the suds. The loss so worried her that she tried to han 4 herself in the barn, but the rope broke and she fell on a |l5O Jersey cow and broke her back. Speaking of the tragic death of Conductor Vincent in the Three I’s accident at North Judson last week, the North Judson News says: “His body was wedged between the cars in a space of four inches, and his head crushed between the end of the ca-I boose and an iron step of the car in • front. One eye was put out, his nose and face mashed until the brains were exposed to view. Both legs were crushed as if there were no bones in them.” Jonathan Hill, of Cleveland township, Elkhart county, lias tried an experiment which is proving a success, and which other fanners will do well to imitate. A few years ago he planted black wain ut« in the fence corners I . and in unoccupied places around his . bouse, barn and elsewhere, and the re- , suit is that, he now has on forty acres , of land nearly 300 fine trees growing , rapidly, and many of them already , bearing, in places which would other- , wise yield no profit. Diese trees already add much to the appearance and 3 value of his farm, and in a few years r will very likely be worth as much for i timber as the land itself would be j worth without them. Mean while they ; r will have a good crop of walnuts al- ' most any year.—Goshen Times.
