One Year, Office: Over "Bee Bive"Store SATURDAY, NOV., 12irr,1881. "Judge D. D. Banta, of Franklin, has written a historical sketch of Jobnson county which i as thorough, accurate and complete as it is possible for such a work to be. It sketches the injasion of the wilderness by the pioneers, the first' settlement, the organization of the county and its development from that time until the present day. The book is the best county history the Reviewer has yet seen, work of this kind seldom ;eing done by authors as capable as Judge Banta. Ind. Review. Indiana has few better citizens than Judge Banta. In educational matters he has always stood at the head, and for years has been a member of the State University Board,and is now President of that body. The Judge would make a coed Democratic candidate tor Governor if he wasn't so honest. "The humiliating fact that Chester A. Arthur, the bullet made Presiident of the United States, ordered a salute fired in honor of the British flag at Yorktown, must not be taken as representing American feeling. Spencer Journal. Why? Would the Journal rather Arthur bad ordered it shot down, as did the last Democratic President submit to our own flag? It was only a recognition of respect, a sign of welcome to thus designate the British Nation, and if the loud-mouthed editors of Democratic papers are so forced for something to criticize we beg to suggest silence. A fool is given the credit of being wise if he can hold his tongue. id m Last week another "crank" appeared at the White House armed, as is always the case, with a good revolver, also credentials from the Almighty that he was Presideut. A good sound thrashing for such individuals would certainly hnue a good effect on tcracked" min is, as well as tend to make the signature of the Almighty less popular. - m w "The more villainy you prove on a Republican official, the closer the party sticks to niui. Spencer Journal. As in the case of Tom Brady and all the Star Route rascals. Honesty i3 an expulsion-paper from tha Democratic party, : m oocio The Telephone is in receipt of the "Farm, Herd and Home," an agricultural publication of Indianapolis. The number received is full of interest to farmers and certainly ortli the subscription price of $1. Fak out in infinite space one Voor hees can perhaps imagine that a voice, lodged in vastness-of place, is calling him to the Presidential chair, but it is impossible for us to believe this as a real fact. "Can any Democrat tell us what 1ms become, of Mr. Franklin Landers? Corydon (Ind.) Republican. Or where Senator Daniel W. Vo3ihees is bound for? The Oxford, Ind., Tribune is enlarged and improved. . It is edited by J. Price Carr, a former graduate of the Indiana University. The Telephone is for James G. Blaine for" President, and Benj. F. Harrison for Vice President in 1884. Start the boom. . This world is not to be ended until somebody can find a sure remedy for office-soreness. "St. Jacob" don't fill the bill. W&Nev.er a man gets above suspicion save time and trouble by placing him in the penotintiary at once.

The announcement that the President has setapart the 24th instant as a day of National Thanksgiving, reveals, by contrast, the many clays of sorrow through which the country has just past. The badge -of mourning that almost .universally draped our homes in memory of a murdered President baa scarcely been remoyed, the tracing of tears is not effaced from :ur cheeks, the wound upon our national faith is not healed, but still smarts, and now we are to rejoice and be glad. Wherefore? These and'kind-

red thoughts willl arise m every mind. But "God reigns and tho Government still lives." While we can not change nor explain the past, the present we have, and it bar. come to us loaded with the gif's the past lias heaped upon us. Blessings, that in no former years have been surpassed, are ours. A hundred million of our national debt has been removed, lightening our burden ; crops have been fiathered from the generous lap of n a tin e that will supply all our wants and feed other hungry millions: industrial persuits have seldom been so remunerative; commercial enterprises have made more than their wonted returns; and the tramp of pestilence has not been heard of in the land. While we grieve, when, at the inscrutable permissions of an overwhelming Providence, we may still rejoice in -the reception of its bounties, and in the assurance of its pro tecting care. The document is as follows: "It has long been a pious custom of our people, with the closing of the year, to look upon the blessings brought to them in the chauging course of the seasons, and to return thanks to the all giving source from whom they flow, and although at this period, when the falling leaf admonishes us that the time of our sacred duty is at hand, our nation still lies in the shadow ofag'eat bereavement and mourning, which hss tided our hearts and still finds its sorrowful expression toward the God before whom we but lately bowed in grief and supplication ; yet countless benefits which have showered upon us daring the past twelve months call for our lervent gratitude, and make it fitting that we should show with thankfulness that the Lord in His infinite mercy has most signally favored our country and our people. Pence without and prosperity within, have been vouchsafed to us. No pesdlence has visited our shores. Abundant privileges of freedom, which our fathers left us in their wisdom, are still our increasing heritage, and if, in parts of our vat domain, some aftiiction has visited our brethern in their forest homes yet even this calamity has been tempered and in a mi nner sanctified by tho generous compensation for the sufferers which have been called fourth throughout our land. For all these things it is mete that the voice of the Nation should go up to God in devout homage. Wherefore, I, Cbes'erA, Arthur. President of the United Stat is, do m commeud that ail the people observe Thursday, the 24th day of November, instant, as a day of National thanksgiving and prayer by censing so far as may be front their secular laLorf, and, meeting in their several pla es of worship, there to joiu in ascribing honor and praise to Almighty Gad, whose goodness has been so manifest in our history and in our lives, offering earnest praers that His bounties may continue to us and oui children. In witness whereof, T have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Uni ted States to be aflixed. Done :it the City of Washington, this, the 4th day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one, and of the. independence of the Uui let!

We are pained to learn that since Charles Summer has been enjoying

tmY'hiffher life" his manners have -.c sadly deteriorated. A New Albany spiritualist is authority for the report that a lew nights ago, while the medium was enjoying a pleasant Utile chat v i th Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and Thomas' H. Bei ton, JSlr. Sumner came up and insolently and disputatiously thrust himself into the conversation. He declined to withdraw when iisked, and so the medium, begging ihe distinguished trio to excuse him for a few moments, "went for" the lamented statesman, and after a brief but severe tussle succeeded in "kicking him down stairs". Mr. Sumner lias grown quiie robust, Lmving re covered entirely from t he caning of Bully Brooks, and it reqnuvd all the muscular power of the spiritualist to eject the intruder. We are left in mystery as to the place whence, and the h ealiiy to which, Mr. Sumner was kicked. Bnt that he was "kicked down stairs" was fully demonstrated by the exhausted conditirm o, the medium. This same intelligent spiritualist conveys the information that Andrew Jackson and the Marquis Do Lafayette are. regular old cronies, walking the celestial streets are being much in each other' company. This is tho delightful irliocy retailed by mediums for the delectation of opened-mouthed fools.
