A GOOD HOUSEWIFE.
The good housewife when she is giving her house its spring renovating should bear in mind that the dear inmates of her house are more precious than many houses, and that their systems need cleansing by purifying the blood, regulating the stomach and bowels to prevent and cure the diseases arising from spring malaria and miasma, and she must know that there is nothing that will do it so perfectly and surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best of medicines.—Concord (N.H.)

THE ILERRE
Henry B. Companion last-night told Policeman Kinerk that his wife was living in adultery with another Companion, whose surname was Henry. The officer and the husband proceeded to a house on north Fourth street where they were living and arrested the pair in bed. They were placed in the station house, and this morning Henry B. filed a complaint against nis wife and her unlawful Companion for living in adultery. The case was tried before Justice Cookerly. John Woods in whose house the pair were found testified that thev came to him about ten days ago and he rented them a room. They represented themselves as man and wife. They had but one bed. Numerous other witnesses were examined, among them Henry B. Companion the lawful husband of the woman. He testified that he married her last June, and that four wreeks ago he brought suit for divorce. The case has not yet been tried. The justice committed both Hife continually showi in the sum of $50 and failing to give' ^kindly and humane, he bond were sent to jail. The case is now before the Grand Jury.

OBITUARY.
JUDGE S. B. GOOKINS.
At ten minutes past eight o'clock last night, while talking to his daughter. Mrs. George D. Duy, Judge Samuel Barnes Gookins, with scarcely a premonitory struggle, passed instantly to the other life. The news is shocking to the hosts of friends whom the cordial manner and sterling virtues of the deceased had won. How wholly unexpected was his demise may be seen from the following extract in an article in this morning's Express proposing his name for Supreme Judgc: "He was on the supreme bench part of a term some years ago, resigning in consequence of ill health and inadequacy of salary. His health is now fully restored, and although well along in years he is in the full maturity of his intellectual power."
Saturday the Judge visited Sullivan on business, and yesterday morning he ate an unusually hearty breakfast, and, while changing his slippers for boots, between eight and nine o'clock, in. the midst of laughing and talking, he was seized with a violent asthmatic trouble which was feared to lie very dangerous. By noon, however, he was considered to be largely restored and rested easy during the afternoon nor was there then any suspicion of danger on his part or of the family until, as related above, heart disease resulted from the asthma, and with frightful swiftness carried him off.
Judge Gookins was rightly considered to be in full maturity of his intellectual strength and many more years of usefulness were expected for him. He was at once a jurist of industry, and acumen, a judge whose Supreme Court decisions are models of terseness, and accuracy, a writer broad in his views and facile in expression and a poet to whom we are indebted for many beautiful gems of original thought and touching evidences of a warm, generous heart.
A brief sketch of his life is here given: Samuel Barnes Gookins was born on May 30tli, 1809, the youngest of seven children. His hearty robust fame was, perhaps, due to the climate of Gookins' mill near Bennington in the green old state of Vermont.
When he was six years old his father died and later,, in 1823, his mother removed to the then considered "far west." Those were not days of Horton reclining chairs, palace sleepers and superb hotel cars. The widow and her children sailed to the Maumee river, thence overland by wagon with dusky red-skins for teamsters to the willow-lined banks of the Wabash. Here a canoe was launched, and silently brushing the overhanging branches of the trees they dropped down to old Fort Harrison prairie. For a short time they farmed eleven miles north but afterward removed to what is now known as the Hyler farm. Young Samuel was a sturdy youth, strong of limb and eager of purpose. Until he was twelve years old lie worked for various farmers, but at that time he became apprenticed to John W. Osborne, publisher of the Terre Haute llegister and Advertiser, the first newspaper here. He learned the trade of a printer and finally, in 1828, placed in sole charge during two long absences of the proprietor. He married Mr. Osborne's daughter, Miss Mary C. Osborne, in 1834.
During the time of his editorial experience lie became intimate with Judge Kinney, a leading attorney here,
In 1854 he was elected to the Supreme, Bench. He resigned in 1857 for pecun iary reasons, to accept a better-paying senior partnership with Thomas & Roberts attorneys, at Chicago. He remained twenty years in Chicago and in the enjoyment of a large practice.
Before his departure to return to this city in 1877 he was almost unanimously tendered by the bar of Chicago the superior judgeship of the city of Chicago and also Supreme judeship of the northern district of Illinois. He declined these to return to his old love, the Prairie City, and to take the receivership of the Wabash and Erie canal. This business he almost entirely wound up previous to his death. He was prominently mentioned as a candidate for Supreme Judge of Indiana. The deceased was one of the trustees of Wabash College. For some time he had occupied his leisure hours on a history of Vigo county, to be incorporated in the forthcoming history of the Wabash valley.
Judge Gookins was well known East among men of letters, having been a cor-' respondent of the Knickerbocker, the Continental Montldy, Harper's Monthly and other publications. In 1854 he published Tippletonia a number of addresses to law school at Bloomington have also received publication and been awarded much praise.
A poem entitled "Purity" printed some years ago is an exquisite thing, smooth in versification, and original in conception. The GAZETTE a Tew weeks since printed a beautiful little poem in which the jud^e had followed the unique style of versification of Hiawatha, though, in all else the poem was entirely new, and with happy effect. A friend has written beautifully as follows:
Judge Gookins was a man whose life and character, whose professions and manner of living, were all in sweetest harmony. What he professed, his daily life continually showed forth. Most was ever found ready" to succor the unfortunate and the friendless. Never censorious or predjudiced, his judgments, both official and social, were always impartial and true. Quiet and unobtrusive, preferment and honors were the rewards of truest merit and acknowledged worth. Intense love and appreciation of the true, the good and the beautiful, his heart was filled with the purest sentiments, which often found expression in verse and prose. He was thus by veiy nature a poet. He could not-, if he had so wished, refrained from song.
It is, however, as a Christian gentleman that Judge Gookins was best known, and as such his memoiy will be the longest cherished, lien saw him ever, at home, in his profession, everywhere, walking in the light which radiates from the Sun of Righteousness. Reverently, but most sin-

great interest in him, dissuaded him from an intention of removing to Washington, and induced him to study the law. This he did. and was admitted to the bar in 1834 and became law partner in the firm of Kinney, Wright & Gookins. Jos. A. Wright, a Democrat, recognizing Judge Gookins ability, went out of his party to appoint him to the circuit judgeship. In 1852 he was elected to the Indiana legislature, when he and Judge Downey" devoted much time and attention to the revision of the code.
cerelv do we say it, he, like Enoch "walked with God." How great, indeed, is the rich inheritance of his example which he has left to his family and to his friends! Such lives as his is it which bear most convincing testimony to the truth as it is in Jesus."
And then how magnificent and beautiful was his death. He liad accomplished the three score and ten of the allotted time of man. In the home that he himself had builded, a home made joyous with trees and flowers, and clambering vines, in the bosom of his family, with his children and his grand-children aronnd him, he wras called to his rest. To be suddenly summoned to be with Christ, was mercifully vouchsafed, for he was ready. Like a warrior returning triumphant from the conflict, the battle fought the victory won, he has gone to secure the'crown and palm of glory."
GARFIELD JOLLIFICATION. The Republicans of Richmond, Ind. had a jollification meeting last Friday over the nomination of Garfield. During the speaking a young Irishman by the name of Sullivan was stabbed by a negro named Bundy, who was aided by two or three other negroes. Sullivan said to an acquaintance who was standing near him, "Let us go I don't care about listening to any more d—d Republican speeches." As they started, the three negroes began to curse and abuse Sullivan, Bundy yelling, "Kill the son of a 1)—h of a Democrat." He received one cut about the time he was leaving the crowd, and was followed about half a square when several other cuts
BASTARDY BUSINESS.
Before Justice Cookerly to-day the bastardy case of Janet Shaw vs. Dr. James Magoon is on trial. For the plaintiff appeared Mr. Blair, of Brazil and for the defendant. C. F. McNutt and J. W. Shelton. At times quite an interest was taken in the proceedings. The girl testified that her ruin was accomplished at the Central Hotel, Brazil, in September1 187!). Dr. Magoon was staying at the Hotel and she visited him a number of times for medical treatment. It was on one of there visits that the defendant accomplished his purpose. Magoon says it is blackmail.
THE POLICE COURT.
James M. Clutter was fined $4 for maintaining a nuisance. Kenton Read, arrested last night for drunkenness by Policeman Caughlin, was fined $7.
Complaints have been so numerous lately against the inmates of the shanty on the south-west corner of second and Farington streets that the police last night raided the place arresting Lizzie and Laura Butler. The Mayor fined each $7 and sent them to the station house.
Lilly Love, arrested by Policeman Williams last night for drunkenness, was fined $7. She was committed.
IMPORTANT TO SALOON KEEPERS. The Board of County Commissioners will meet in special session on the 15th of July. There will be time between now and then for applications for license to be made. It is the intention of the authorities, vouched up by saloon keepers who do have license to compel all the others to do the same, so that the way for any saloon keeper who has no license to avoid trouble and very great expense is to make his arangements for taking out his license. It must be attended to this week or before Wednesdav of next week.

A FORGETFUL MAN.
The poet Gray speaks of those that "are to dumb forgetfulness a prey," and the corporal of marines in an English vessel off the coast of Africa, who wrote to his wife that he was greatly surprised to hear from her, for he had forgotten that he was married and indeed had entirely forgotten her, may be considered as included in the poet's remark. He wants her to do the best she can for herself, and, if possible, get married again. She ought to be above applying to a poor marine for help, he thinks he will never trouble her again, and intends staying in the service for the next sixteen years, as he is very comfortable in it. ~''i rr
