SOMTEHING WRONG.
The first of last week a prisoner, then confined in the station house for drunkenness, named Thomas Plunkett, 1 ote to his former employer, A.Cannon, Esq., at Guyon, Park county, Ind., praying him to send $7 with which to pay his fine. Mr. Cannon immediately sent that sum here Plunkett. The letter, when received, was imperfectly scaled, looking as if it had been tampered with. Opening the letter, a note signed by Mr. Cannon, stating, "Inclosed please find $7,'' etc., was found, but no money. This gave rise to grave suspicions that the money had been abstracted. Superintendent Feidler immediately wrote to Mr. Cannon about the circumstance, and that gentleman answered by coming to this citv. He states positively that he inclosed the money. The postmaster here was informed oi the fact, and an investigation is being made. Undoubtedly there is a screw loose somewhere in the depar'ment.

KICKED BY A MULE.
PAINFUL INCIDENCE OF THE CUSSEDNESS OF THIS ANIMAL. Late Saturday afternoon Joseph Edgerton, a young man living in Sugar Creek township, went to the barn at his home to water a span of mules, and was kicked in the left breast over the heart by one of the animaU. He staggered out of the stable and fell to the ground. His mother heard his groan and went to his assistance, and he was carried into the house. Dr. McGrew was summoned, but the case was hopeless, and he soon afterward expired. The deceased was just of age, and lived with his mother, Mrs, Mary L. Monroe, northwest of May ville.
Coroner Ehrenhordt was summoned, and held an inquest, with the appended fesult. CORONER'S INQUEST HELD OVER THE
DEAD BODY OF JOSEPH- EDGERTON. There being no evidence in the case except that h:s brother saw him stagger and tall, Dr. McGrew, after making an external examination testified to the following statement of facts, to-wit: "That Joseph Edgerton's death resulted from the rupture of a large bloodvessel, probably the heart itself, and the probable cause of death was internal hemorrhage.
J. E. MCGRBW, M. D.
CORONER'S VERDICT.
I, the coroner of Vigo county, State of Indiana, after making an examination over the dead bed of Joseph Edgerton, found that the deceased came to his death by a kick from a mule received on the left breast near the heart, and that the probable cause of death was internal hemorrhage. The deceased was a man 21 years of age, has no family. He lives with his mother about mile northwest from Macksville, in Sugar Creek township. There were five children in the family, of which deceased was the oldeat. There were no valuables found on the person of the deceased.

A UNIQUE GAME TRAP. The most artistic manner of capturing the deer or like game yet contrived is the following, shown by the diagram below: a
A is a cord of rope of sufficient itrength to hold the game is a wooden pin 4 to 6 inches in length left loose on the ground is also a strong string at the end of which, g, there is a wooden peg fastened and driven into the ground, say 4 to 5 inches represents a fish-hook of sufficient strength, baited with some kind of food. This trap is placed where the game is in the habit of going to dr'nk or wherever it is in the habit of frequenting. The game picks ap the bait, hook and all, and in polling up the peg g, which is in the ground, is compelled to pull hard enough to fasten the hook in the throat or stomach. Then when the game finds itself with something in its throat it will begin to scratch with its hind legs to get it out, and in almost every case will catch the wooden stick in the hoof of the hind leg—this brings the leg up in such a position as to prevent the animal from running or even from walking, and is at the same time fastened at the head and one hind foot, the two being not more thaa t8 or 20 inches apart, and very soon the game is worried to exhaustion and is easily captured. The string a should be governed as to length according to the size of'the game. The trap is a sure catch every time and wilt answer for the capture of any game having a hard, solid hoof, with a split in it capable of holding a stick of wood. None of the strings or wooden pieces nor the hook need
ha
very large nor
strong as the strength pulled on it by the captured animal is not very great -with a fish hook in the mouth fastened to the hind leg or foot, and the more the game pulls the tighter the fastening, and it is soon worried to uitcr exhaustion and can be picked up by the hunter with easeand at his will. Hunters, try it. Farmers troubled by breachy cattle will aU find it a sure cure for their neighbor's •unruly cattle. It is better than fences.

LAST Sunday afternoon asocial picnic was given at Fox's Grove in honor of'.he Misses Julia Rosenthal and Sallte Mitchell, of Indianapolis, ard Miss Rienstrong, of Philadelphia, who are at present in the city. A large number of our leading Jewish citizens, with their families, were present, and a fine time was enjoyed by all. Refre?hments of all kinds wen. on hand.
A VERY enjoyable time was had by the families connected to Mr. John Swattz living on north Center street, near Lafayette, on the occasion of his birth-day the 4th. Eatables, beer, music and dancing were enjoyed by his many relatives, who themselves made a large audience. From at outside point of view, every one was having a good glorious old-fashioned time.

INTO THE DEPTHS.
On Sunday evening a marine disaster occurred four miles above Clinton. The stern-wheel steamer Centennial struck a sunken log while coming down the river loaded to the gunwale with corn, and sank in twelve feet of water. The crew and several passengers who were on board had about twenty minutes of time before the boat sank, and all escaped by means of two skiffs which happened to be.aboard. The boat is entirely out of sight, and not a stick of her can be seen. The corn belonged to J. M. Hass & Co., of this city, being a part of a large amount they had bought from Mr. Rafferty. It i« thought it can be raised and turned over to the distillery, in which case the loss on the corn will be only about $60. The boat is to be raised this week.—[Express.

THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.
He Arrives in the City aud is Escorted to the Capita! Hotel.
Man, a Statesman who "Does ua Proad"—A Prominent Man's Ideal ol a Statesman.
From the Arkansas (Little Book) Gazette. Governor Thomas A. Hendricks arrived in this city from Hot Springs yesterday and will leave this afternoon, joining Mrs. Hendricks on the train. The bhort stay of this distinguished statesman will be a disappointment to our citizens, as they had hoped to hear a speech from him on our national birtkdav.
Shortly after Mr. Hendricks arrived, a Gazette representative called upon him at the Capital. Conversationally, he is a wonderful man, and possesses that vivacity and fascination which novelists attribute to "old-style Southern gentlemen." He is about five feet 10 inches tall, stoutly built, with light hair and light hazel or blue eyes. He was born, as he remarked, in the year when the Gazette was established, 1S19. He did not wish to be interviewed politically. He had merely come to Hot Springs on a rest trip. He said this much,however he is thoroughly satisfied with the Democratic course in Congress.
Several days ago, a prominent gentletaan, just from 1 lot Springs, came into the otfice, aud in the course of conversation remarked
uWhen
I was a boy I
used to picture to myself the appearance of a statesman. Aitenvard I met them and was disappointed. All along I was disappointed until the other day, when I met Mr. Hendricks. He, I must sav, is n»y boyish ideal of a statesman." This might prove true in more cases than one. As a rule, great men diminish as we approach them, l'he star that twinkles brightly in the distance, fades as we approach it. The nearer we approach the sua the colder grows the air. With Mr. Hendricks it is different. You 6ee before rou the high-honored gentleman and the statesman—a man you would unhesitatingly acknowledge as a leader and a true patriot. He is the essence of true Democracy, and shows its spirit in his every work, even when he speaks on common-place subjects. He is a "light cf political reason," and an advocate of sound government. There is no living politician who has more warm, earnest iriends in this State The hard-working farmer and the gay official with one voice say: "^Giveus Thomas A. Hendricks."
Mr. Hendricks was escorted from the depot by Governor Miller, General Churchill, General Newton, Major Lear, Colonel Ben Johnson and others, who afterward took him tor a drivu through the city. «n DRAMATIC AND WATERING-

One Word Cover* the Advice Which should te given to nervous, slender, and debilitated persons—Invigorate 1 Sedatives,opiates, appetizers, are comparatively useless. The system must be built up with a genuine tonic in order to the recovery of vigor and tranquility by the nerves.
