The utiz.ns of Lockport and vicinity turned out enmasse to-day to witness the dosing exercises of Prof. W. A. Sanford's school, which in justice to the Professor we must say has been a grand success.

Hie oration ^was delivered by Burlin Lee, the valedictory address by Miss Lucy Fox, both •excellent. The :oreni on wag aim out exclusively devotid to hearing recitations, while the afternoon exeicises were somewhat varied. One L-t the ran in features of the exerciser was the presentation of- a beautiful bible to Prof. W. A. Sanford in behalf of the patrons of the school, Mr. John E. Woodruff making the presentation speecli, during which "considerable emotion was manifested among the audience.

He is Slowly Slaking at the Jail. From Wedneaday'a Daily. This morning a reporter of the .GAZETTE STO Vick at the county jail. He still occupies the oell to whieh he was re* moved, his bed being moved to the east window. He is unconscious and has not spoken half a dozen words since he shot himself. None of his family has regularly visited him except his oldest son, McClelland, the youngest boy being to see him once. His wife has never visited him. It is said she is not able. It is the opinion of the medical attendant that Vick cannot live much looger, as nothing but his strong constitution has kept him up so far. His condition varies a great deal. iil,

A couple living in this county for several years were divorced a short time ago —on an emicable agreement to disagree. There weie five children and the wife expressed a willingness to let the husband have such ones as he pleased. Finally she decided to take the youngest child, which she did, and after she had gone away to Illinois, where she will make her future home, the husband went to one of bis neighbors with a rueful countenance and said: "By George, I must have that youngest child or its photograph." It didn't seem to make much difference to him which he took.

Wanted to go Home. 'wJPii'

A German boy about five years old, put in his appearance at one of our ward schools a few days since for the first time. He saw the other pupils hold up their hands when they wanted to leave their seat and about half past ten o'clock the teacher noticed the lad's arm assuming a perpendicular attitude and his fingers working dexterously. Upon being asked what was the request he said: "I want to go to mine home to get some beer." The lad bad been accustomed to par* taking of that beverage about that hour every morning and he did not feel disposed to go without it on account of school. He was given permission to go.

Sale of Rieman's Pork House. Rieman's Pork House, on north Water street, which was advertised in the GAZETTE of Saturday was sold this afternoon at private sale. It was bought by President W. B.

I--i Riley News. ..,.°ji. To the

Editor

tbe Qaxette: "3

We saw an article in your last weeks issue regarding a case brought by the State of Indiana against George Grosgean your comment upon the article was about right that it was one side of the case. It was not only a one sided affair but was nearly all false. The article stated that it was a suit brought by J. N. Lee and W. A. Sanford against G. Grosgean. The statement that W. A. Sandford had any thing to do with the case is untrue and was told by a person who is noted for his high opinion of himself. The statement was made by Mr. Lee iu presence of the audience that Mr. Sanford had nothing whatever to do with the prosecution. We dtizens know who wrote the articlc and we know that it was written through spite and in order that the writer miglt see his name in the paper as one of the attorneys. He is of a caliber that to see his name in the print does him good The article does Mr. Sanford great injustice as he is one of our most respected citizens, and has done more through his zeal and industry to build up a KO-a school here than any othT man iu Riley Township.

SEED CORN.

A Report That There is No Good Seed Coi lo the Coaaty. Peter Wilhoit, the postmaster at Libertyville, Fayette township, was in the city to-day. Mr. Wilhoit is a farmer of experience and sagacity and he tells a story concerning seed corn in this county and surrounding country which is a matter of very general interest.

He states that in Fayette township, and for that matter all over this and surrounding counties, there is no good seed corn. Here and there may be found a few bushels of good seed corn where farmers

fathered

ana placed it in some warm and

ry place on purpose to keep for that. But the great corn crop of last year, gathered and cared for in the usual way,he claims is worthless.

His idea is that while the corn cob was yet full of sap the heavy and hard freeze came on and that, freezing this sap, destroyed the vitality of the germ. He has placed some in hot beds and found his tears realized. Besides it is possible by breaking open a kernel of corn to tell whether or not the germ is alive. If the main is cracked so that tbe germ is left with the small end of it projecting from the lower end of the grain, and it is then touched with the finger:—if alive it will break off almost immediately but it dead it can be bent back and forth several times, being of a tough fiber then.

Mr. Wilhoii's advice to the farmers in all this region is to take time by the forelock and examine into their seed corn at once by planting some in hot beds and observing the per cent of grains that sprout There is very great deal of expense attending replanting corn and the crop is uneven and mucn valuable time is lost.

If his idea is true that there is little if any good seed corn in this county some thing will have to be done at once to get a supply, and as it takes about one bush el oi corn to plant six acres it will be seen that a great deal of corn must be bought to supply this demand. Dealers here in the city who have reliable seed corn that can be depended on are

asktDg

from $150 to $1.75 per bushel tor it ana it is not likely to be bought for much less. But the price of seed corn is nothing compared with the expense and bother and loss attending the planting something that will not grow and which may cost one crop.

This is a timely warning and common prudence suggests the propriety ot farmer's everywhere examining into the matter and providing themselves with seed corn on which they can rely with confidence.

The Raynond California Excursions The acnual series of California Tours, under tbe management of Messrs.

Raymcnd and I. A. Whitcomb, will leave Boston respectively April 5, 12 and 26 The Raymond trips have been made with great success for two years, and we have no doubt that this year tbey will be equally satisfactoiy. It seems wonderful when we think of it that a trip ot fiftynine days, covering nearly 10,000 miles, can be made, following rigidly on established schedule, but Messrs. Raymond and Whitcomb will do it, and we are glad to say without any traveling whatever on the Sabbath. On3 of the editors of this journal accompanied the party a year ago and is glaa to hdd his testimony to that of the many who have expressed themselves as thoroughly satisfied with the arangements for the journey. A very neat and interesting book with full descriptions of the trip will be given or sent free, upon application to W. Raymond, 240 Washington St., Boston.— The Ooogregationalist, *vf

House Burned.

The house of Mrs. Theron Suttiff, four miles southeast of the city and jus west of tbe crossing ot the E. & T-H. andt the T. H. & S. E. road was burned to the ground Friday afternoon. Mrs. Suttliff was in town at the time ard her sons were away from the liouae hauling wood The only person on the premises was the aged father of Mrs. Sattliff, Mrs. Sinclair, who is 90 years old. He was in the yard near the house about 4 o'clock in the afternoon when he noticed smeke. The house was found to be on fire probably having caught from the open wood fire in the sitting room. A freight train on the E. & T. n. road, passing by, was stopped and the train men help?d to put the household effects out of the house most of it being saved. The house itself was burned to the ground. There was no insurance. Their goods have been stored in the barn and the family divided up in the neighborhood/'

Views of the Raging Wabash. Wright, the photographer, succeeded last Monday, Feb. 19th in taking some views of the Wabash. They are large cabinet size and are, in addition to being fine views, really a durable order of art. One of the views is taken from the draw looking north, another from the draw looking south, and a third from the bank south ot the bridge looking to and beyond the bridge. They give a vivid idea of the extent of the flood and are valuable pictures to get and keep as showing the Wabash on the rampage. Being in the vicinity Mr. Wright also took a picture of the new jail. These photographs are, all of them, capital pictures and are well worth procuring. Mr. Wright proposes selling them at the low price of fifty cents each, which, considerneg their size and the artistic finish of vstm. 1 very low indeed. They are the n.be iews of our river we have ever tea

Mary J. Coley. a widow ladv^f this city, who left w'ith her family oa the 28th of last December for Nevada, Mo., intending to make that place her future home, died there last week.

Charity at Hone and Abroad. Many families ia Prairie Creek, Prairieton and other townships have lost their food, clothing and farming imple ments by the flood. The Relief concert to-morrow is to help them.

Mr. James M. Disnon, the popular bill poster, was last evening quietly married to Miss 8arah Wilson, a very highly esteemed young lady, at the resilience ot he bride on north Ninth street.

OBITUARY ... ... MR8. S. C. SCOTT. U-

Her friends in this eity will learn with painful surbrise of the death this morning of Mrs. S. C. Scott. Her illness had been ot so short duration, for this day I last week she was able to visit some of her relatives, that many perhaps had had scarcely learned of her serious illness. Her health, however, las been delicate for several years past and her constitution was not able to withstand the attack of paralysis to which it succumbed. Mrs. Scott was born July 9th 1841 and was the daughter of James Johnson, one of the oldest and most thoroughly respected citizens of Terre Haute. Her oldest sister, Eliza Johnson, became the wife ot W, R. McKeen and was the mother of Frank McKeen. Her brother, the late James Johnson, was well known in Terre Haute where he had lived all his life. On the 17th of October '1365, deceased was married to S. C. Scott. Her life has been spent in Terre Haute and its early ending will be a shock to her many friends.

MRS. BHOOA HOLLAND DICKERSON. DIED.—Friday morning, the'23rd inst at the residence of her youngest son H. CUy Dickerson, in Snelbyville, Vigo county, Mrs. Bhoda Holland Dickerson, relict of John Dickerson, of Lost Creek township.

Mrs. Dickerson was born in tbe state of Georgia in tbe year 1800—the birth of the present century. She was consequently eighty-three years old at her death. She emigrated with her parents, when quite a young girl, to Ohio, where, at the age ot lb she was married, and in the year 1835 came with her husband, her family and other friends to settle in the Wabash valley where she has since resided.

She was the mother of eleven children, seven ot whom are now living. Deeply imbued with the noble faith and spirit of our Revolutionary mothers, she sent forth three sons to do battle in the war for for the Union. Having an appreciative knowledge of the advantages of practical education, she contributed to that grand cause, seven school teachers.

Charitable and kindly to all, none departed from her door empty-handed—not even the lusty beggar. Removed in her early days from tbecongtnial atmosphere of a southern home, she was hospi able in an eminent degree. Tbe parner of her love was full for all. She ever met her children and friends with motherly affection, neighborly courtesy and tbe more substantial benefits of life. For years, "Aunt Rhoda's" was the "Mecca" of their affectionate devotions. To a peouliar feature, happily characteristic of this good woman—love ot home—we may attribute her success in making that home so acceptable to her many friends.

Honest, industrious, prudent, generous and self-denying—a faithful transcript of all that is included in the last chapter ot

The Proverbs of Solomon." The sun of her protracted usetulnees has at last set. Not entirely without zest for the things of this world, she peacefully and quietly resigned them to others, and after having attained to a ripe old age, her fragrant and beautiful life is rounded—her days' work is done and she has lain down to rest. C."

JAMES WELCH.

Last night at the residence of Dennis Griffin on north Third stree' occurred the death of James Welch. Deceased was a victim of consumption and had suffertd for some time. His remains will be intend in Woodlawn cemetery to-morrow.

ELIZABETH BUBGAN.

Mrs. Elizabeth Burgan, relict of tbe late James Burgan, died at the residence of her daughter Mrs. Kate Brown, on east Main street this morning. She was sixtyseven years old and her death was caused by a stroke ot paralysis. Her husband, the late James Burgan, who died in this city nearly two years ago, was for many years a resident of Lost Creek township, where he was highly respected. Mrs. Burgan leaves three sons and five daughters, all grown acd married. The family has been widely scattfred, one daughter living in Pennsylvania, another iu Calilordia and still another in Illinois. Of her soas one lives in Iowa. Her son W. Scott Burgaa is trustee of Lost Creek township. Mra. Eurgan was a great favorite with all who knew her and her loss will be deeply felt by a large ciicle I oflriends. fiAlTSfC ADAM3.

This morning at half past one o'clock Dan McAdams, son of Patrick McAdams, of south Second street, departed this life after a short illness with consumption. He had been confined only a lew weeks, but bis decline was fast and no hope was entertained of his recovery from the first. To all wbo knew the deceased, his kind,

five

jentls and unassuming disposition will long in their memories. Since the death of his mother, which occurred a I year or so ago, he has not enjoyed good health. He loved her tenderly and when & she died he had nothing to tyre for. The deceased was a brother to John Mc- I Adams, the tinner, aod bis ceath will be sadly felt by those residents of tbe south end wno had known him to love him.
