was so badly injured that he died , at

5 o'clock the next morning at Quincy

Wuen those at the front end of the

uain went back they found Wilson miming about in a dazed condition,

evidently out ofuis mind, but he was

induced to walk to the loco motive, to which place Cory was carried, and

was taken to Quincy, and after the arrival there, he, Wilson, completely svee umbod to his injuries, and from that time has been helpless. He was badly cut about the head, and is now at his home in Lafayette. A wreeking train was sent from Bloom iugton on which were Dr. Maxwell, jr., jrio is the road surgeon here, and (ram m aster Craft on, roadmaster Byrne and Mr. Cory. The road was hastily cleared, and everything done possible, tor the injured men. The body was brought to this place Wednesday evening. The extreme cold weather caused the breaking of the frog, and no blame can be attached to the railroad com pan y . Wm Bennett, of Lafayetle,another hrakeman in the caboose was injured ali out the scalp and his legs bruised

Dr. Maxwell say a he will get well. Cory's skull was lractu red, and one ieg broK-en. Wilson was injured about the side, and internally. It? seems that the caboose was

dragged along some distance after it had j u mped the t.r a ck, an d tu r n ed over twice.

When a Spencer justice says to Jthe rural candidates for matrimony 'Do yoa and each; of you solemnly swear that you are in earnest about this business, and that you will stand by each other as husband find wife through:; thick and thin, eink or swim, live; or die, survive or perish' the simple minded you ng

the' presence of the ohlciating functoary with the most profound respect for his official ability and greatly impressed' with the solemnity of the occasion. Carter Cou trier, business manager of the Buffalo felVs Wild West Show, is in town on a brief visit to his sister Mrs.1 W. W. Durand. While in England with the show Mr Coutrier had made a meerschaum pipe the bowl of which represented a bust of his late warm friend' Wm. Wr. Durand . It was made after a photograph of the. deceased, and is an excellent likeness. The Wild West show is now wintering on a stock farm near Washington and next summer will go to Paris France. Mr. Coutrier will spend the remainder of the winter in Kew York superintending the preparation of the advertising matter for the European tour. Like the late

Mr. Durand he is considered one of the few very valuable men in his line in the profession. . m mm n - n nwiiwiw na i nJry Charfey AlcPheeters5 tew groej Crreaves' old and.

In looking over the divorce pro

ceedings of the Monroe CircuitCourt the other day I found a pretty state

of things. So:r.e dozen divorces are turned oufi every court, and nine ouo'ten dfthe paTires'tliei'e to belong to the lower classes people who have no regard for matrimony, who consider the marriage cereraony something to simply gratify a whim for the time being. Then the' agree to disagree, and the woman goes into court with witnessess

from her set and proves thather husband is a drunkard, a worthless vagabond; or the man gets his witnessess from among the fellows of his ilk, and they swear from their own knowlege that the woman is a prostitute. A divoree is grantecj and the parties on either side are ready to hunt another lgirl,"or another "man," and try it over again. How many in this town to-day,

divorced men and women, whom.

you can name as oemg married

twice or more. The laws are loose.

Indiana divorce laws are the "laugh

ing stock" of the whole country. A

judge may grant a divorce for cer

tain reasons named,, and for any other reason he may see proper. He can hardly refuse to grant divorces

because but one side of the case is

presented. A distingished christian

gentleman of this city once said he

was in favor of a law prohibiting

the marriage of a man unless he

proved a good character; that he was industrous and fully competent

to support a wife. I heartily "second the motion." It would prevent breeding pauperism to a large extent. How many half-starved half clothed children of worthless parents are there in this town anil county? You can see them on every hand. Is it not a sin to bring them into the world. But what care their licentious parents any more than to gratify their animal passions? These matters need no elaborating. They can be seen in the daily walks of the people's lives. The papers tell ths story, to a large extent, when they publish the list of the divorces. Public decency and public morals call for reform. Many .good people are in serious doubts as to whether divorces are are right in accordance with devine lav:: more are in doubt as to whether divorced people should re-

We can highly recommend AL as a gentleman and a hustler from the word go, and his company arc thorough ladies and gentlemen and capable of giving as pleasing performances as one ever sees in the smaller cities. In March they play a week at the Park theatre in Indianapolis. Mrs. Mary Meiiord, wife of G. W. Melford, of Pekin, 111., died at

her home at that place on Jan.20th, in her 61st year. Deceased was born in Campbell county, Tenn. In 1829 her parents, Lewis and Luciuda &Coy, moved to Monroe county, Indiana, where deceased spent her girlhood da's. In 1850

she was married to George: W. Mefford. In 1855 they moved to Putnam county, Mo., where they lived until 1802 w hen they moved to Illinois. She left a husband, three sons and three daughters to mourn the l.bssof;-u-4a mother. Her children are all residents of Pckin, and attended the funeral on Jan. 22d.

We clip the following sensible bit of advice to the gir s from itn exchange of recent date, and can conscientiously commend it to their careful consideration : Girls, don't marry a lazj man. There are some young men who are so buy that it almost requires an artist to draw tneir breath. They seemingly have not ambition enough to labor under an impression. They live oif the earnings, of their pa until they find a girl who is fool enough to marry them, and they will live oif her pa, Foek where you are going. Don't marry a man who lias spent

his all in riotous living, and tells 3'ou that he is going to get married and settle down. Don't marry a

man who has not the wherewith to support you. You cannot live on love. "When poverty comes in at the door, love dies out through the window."

After spending some time in looking through Owen and VI ylie hails they were taken to the new chapel which was so crowded that many of the visitors as well as students wer$ compelled to stand during the entire exercises. At i 1:15 o'clock Dr. Gordon in his inimitable style introduced Senator Mullinnex,chuir ...... man of the Senate committee, who mad j a speech favorable to education in general, pledging himself to vote for a liberal approprintionand urediff the re-establishment of the

Adams, of Whittey, spoke of the value of ed

ucation in general and closed by

sa'ing that he as a Democrat

would vote for a liberul appropria

tion that he thought the present

Democratic legislature would stand by 1dm. This called fourth rousing cheers and applause from the Democratic hoys. As a rejoinder to this, Rep. Stubblcfleld after describing the old log school house with one end out for lire and the othe r for light as the college from which he graduated said he saw the be no fits of an education and that if he owned the world tie as a republican would give it all to us if we needed it and was willing to supplimei; t it with a potato patch some whore else.
