just previous to the shooting, and, while hard feelings existed between them, no one anticipated such s tragic ending. The

parties are not exceedingly well known, and are aged in the fifties. George Arnold a farm hand in the employ of Franklin Boots, who lives about

fifteen miles weak of Shelby ville, found,in

a gravel pit, the skeleton of a man in a sitting position. The bones showed that the man must have been fully nine feet

in height an d of immeose strength. From

the appearance of the teeth, which are

very large and do not show the slightest

sign of decay, the man could have been not less than 100 years old when he died, and he may have been much older. All the indicasions s show that the eoil where the remains were found had not been disturbed for many generations. Steps have been taken to have casts made of the boner, and they will he placed either in

the state collection or Borne of our college museums. Patents have been issued to I ndiana inventors as follows: William Burket, Ehia Green, excavator and grapple; O, L.

Engineer Thomas Hogarth and Fireman John Zinc fell off the engine, one on each side. As the train passed on the conductor saw one of them on the side of the track andv thought some one had been killed and hastened to notify the engineer. Upon approaching the engine he saw that no one was there, and stopped the train. The engineer and fireman were picked up in an insensible condition and the doctors state that it is hardly

These he handed to tlie distiller, who in turn gave them to one of the lazy looking loungers.who appeared to be in his employ. The fellow put the bottles' in the great pockets of his homespun coat, and immediately disappeared into the shade of the woods. He was gone possibly fifteen minutes. Upon his return he delivered the bottles filled to the corks directly to Buck. "These two quarts," said Buck, looking at me, "are 75 cents." 1 took the money from my pocket and extended it toward the distiller. He shook his head and repli ed with this mysterious sentence : "Ohe?tnuts fall to the ground." I took the cue; dropped the money at my feet, then turned and went to my mules.

financially, and, it is understood, proposes mortgage the island of Gonaive to the United States, and to cede the island of Tortuga in lieu of all claims tor damages to American citizens in the Haytien war. Colonel Dudlev, Commissioner oi! Pensions, will mrike a strong effort this winter to have the law allowing claim-agents

to collect fees in advance repealed. The effect of the repeal would be to place

agents on the same footing occupied before tho passage of tho law of 1878. Through that law restrictions thrown

around attorreys were removed. The

consequences to both claim agents and

the government have been disastrous inasmuch as the temptation of a few dol

lars in each case has led the sharks to

scrape the country with a fine-toothed

comb to drum up applications without re

gard as to whether they had good claims

or not. The effect of this on th" govern

ment is to load tho Pension Office down

with cases, necessitating the employment

of hundreds of clerks. There is thought

to be bnt little doubt that Congress will

readily attend to tnis phase of tne pen
