Semi-Centennial.

The meeting to-night at the Congregational church is not to celebrate the semicentennial ot the fi,uoding of the church here, as incorrectly stated, bnt to make preparation for that purpose.

A Serious Fall.

J. B. Walker, one of the carpenters at work on C. H. Blocksoru's house, in Linton township, got a fall while carrying a bale of shingles upon the building. He got near the top of the ladder and the round broke. He fell to the ground and was considerably bruised, but sustained no permanent injuries.

Tne stock necessary to place the Fish Bros., wagon works on a proper footing is $250,000. Ot this amount about two thirds have already been subscribed but the remainder is not forthcoming as rapidly as desired or as is necessary. The brothers have large orders and want to get 2,000 wagons ready to ship from here by the first ot April. Their business, built up through over twenty years of labor to a position and a name second to noue similar in the country, is no experiment and stock taken in it will pay handsomely. If Terre Haute capitalists do not take the right amount of it other places stand ready and a*ger to do so and we will let slip lrom our grasp a gigantic enterprise.

SALMON 6R0VE RIPPLES.

Allen Williams, tho government guager in the distillery at Terre Haute, has resigned his office and is going to more back here on his farm: He will be welcomed back by his friends and neighbors. He will be superintendent carpenter «f the coal company at Rosed ale. Charley Gonnerly of Roekville, will go to Terre Haute Wednesday to begin as government guager in the distillery.

Zora B. Rukes returned last Tuesday from Kansas, where he was called by the sickness ol his father,. Wm. Rukes. He hasn't much hope of his father's recovery.

Our favorite Doctor, John p. Baldridge, of Bosedale is preparing to take a trip to the vineclad hills of the tunny south on account of his failing health. He has became so attached to the people here, and tbey^hate to see him go.

Allen Keltner, of Rosedaie, has sold his entire store and has gone to work in the coal bank at Rosedaie.

Prof. Cottrell has received a card from Otter Creek Union, southeast, requesting him to come and teach- them a Singing school. The Professor is busy at preseut, but will pay them and the Davis school bouse a visit the last of the month.

We surely will have a tight at Joppa before long, for we bave already bad tbe wind work. Among the visitors at Joppa Sunday night at singing, were Wm. Johnson. Tine Cloyd, and Jack Cottrell. All frem Atherton.

Writing School was well attended Tuesday and Wednesday night last. There are thirty-three pupils enrolled.

Prof. Cottrell has closed his singing at Joppa for the present,until order can be restored. A couple of girls and some boys fiom Atberton kept very bad order Sunday night, and alter singing tbey tried to j-ump on tbe Professor, who is a crippled man and has no otber way to muke a living except by singing a: writing. It is a shame tor boys having respected parents to be allowed to carry on so. If they don't like tbe singing let them stay away, and if they will come they must bebave. Their names,

anu all. were sent to the grand jury Monday. Meeting closed Sunday at Pleasant Grove. They had a very good meeting and good behavior. A protracted effort will begin there next Sunday by Rev. Levi D. Laney.

A protracted effort commenced Monday night at Mount &ion by Rev. H. Williams.

Died: on last Friday, a child of Martin CottrelPs, with erysipelas. Died: Sunday, Mrs. Watters of Rosedaie. Her remaius were takeD to Illinois Monday for interment.

Steve Boswell is getting better. Tbe Atherton grit wilted Sunday night when Prof. Cottrell drew his corn-cob with a trigger in it.

From tbe buzzing about of some of the boys lately, we would mistrust they were a little "skeered" about tbe action, cf the grand jury. Sometimes, however, a guilty boy flies when there is no one after him. Remember the Institute at Rosedaie on the third Saturday in this month. Our schools are falling way behind in Florida.

Lon Lloyd made a flying trip to Tuscola la9t week and back again. The supposition is that we will get Thomas H. Williams to accept the nomination for Justice of the Peace on the Democratic ticket.

Criminal Assault. From Friday's Daily.

Jno. Winson, a colored man, was a resled last evening on a charge of attempted rape preferred by James E. Har iod, also colored, in a 'Sqire's court. The assault, Harrod alleges, was committed on his eleven year old daughter last Thursday afternoon during the abserce of himself and wife. Winson is in jail.

Th epreliminary hearing took place this afternoon before Justice Lockman and resulted in the prisoner being held to $500 bond, in default of which he went to jail. The testimony was clearly to the effect that he had made a criminal assault. The prisoner is a man of'"mature age and when asked what he did for a liviDg Gaid he was a "coon hunter,"

He'Went Crazy.

FORT WAYNE, Feb. 5.—frank Law, a gambler, is a willing prisoner at. the Allen county jail, fleeing from a violent attack of delirium tremens, not produced, however, by intoxication, but by persistent application for several days aud nights at the gaining table, with little or nothing to eat and with scarcely any sleep. 'Two nights ago be came to the house of Sheriff Scnieter, revolver in band, and in great terror declared a band of murderets were seeking his life and dogging bini about the streets, on which account he asked to be locked up and cared for. He hag since been very violent, but opiates have lately produced sleep, and his physicians think be may eventually recover his reason. Law and his wife lived at Union City, and are very well connected. Law ba9 been endeavoring to study otft a scheme to beat a faro bank, aud, failing, was driven to madness.

Craig Discharged. From Saturday's Baily

This morning Charles Craig, the witness against Manis in tbe murder trial, was tried before Judge Beott on a charge of stealing a coat from Mrs .Owens' boarding house. The evidence went to show that Craig was drunk st the time he took the coat and as tbe case was surrounded with a great many mitigating circumstances the court acquitted him of the charge. He was discharged with admonitions as to his future cooduct, which he promised to follow.

As the schools will olose before the next regular meeting of the teachers, it was decided not to have an other institute and so adjourned.

OTTER CREEK NEWS,

As the ground hog saw his shadow on Saturday and returned to his subter ranean retreat for the next six weeks, it is not strange that we are having a continous rain this week but there is some oonsolation in knowing that if we have so much disagreeable weather in the last part of winter and in March, perhaps we will have settled weather earlier in the spring.

Asa Bramer, of Lafayette,, arrived at Mr. John Biamer's Tuesday,, he will make bis home with bis uncle in tbe future.

Wm. Jacobs, of Rosedaie, has bought a lot ot Mr. McMullen, and is -going to put up a grocery just north of Mr. Quintan's. Competition is the life of trade, so this will make business for both firms.

Mr. HUPP'S TROUBLE.

A Man Who Wishes to Sea General Baaka ftor a Few Minates. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-A1I sorts of in eidents, more or less ludicrous, relating to the late war, are constantly turning up. A caae£in point made its appear* anoe to-day. An old gentleman, who says he is ninety-three years old, named

Hupp, liring in Strasburg, Va., is in distress. Ho writes to Senator Hoar to help him out of his diSoulty by informing him of the address of General Banks. The old gentleman's story is about as follows: During the war Genera^ Bank's army was quartered near his (Mr* Hupps') plaoe, and he furnished the Union forces with a quantity of previaions, and fodder. General Banks promised to pay for the supplies, and before leaving, being pressed for time, gave him two horses in settlement. Now oomea the sequel. Mr. Hupp was quite satisfied with the payment, but he had no opportunity to express his satisfaction at the time—as all those who accompanied General Banks will remember the Genera! left Strasburg in a hurry. He had no time for compliments. Recently. however, Mr. Hupp has got into difficulty about those horses. Some one else has claimed them, and has enforoed his olaim by an action at law. The worst of it is that tbe Judge, who was no particular admirer or General Banks, has decided in favor of the plaintiff, and a judgment stands against the name of Mr. Hupp. which he will bave to pay unless General Banks comes forward and substantiates tbe olaim of this nonogenarian to the horses. Senator Hoar is looking up the General.

Shiloh Battlefield.

The National Tribune, the organ of thB G. A. R. at Washington, contains extraeta from a most interesting letter from Mr. C. A. Kuhl, who has visited the Shileh battlefield. What he has to say will be read with avidity by the many who expect to join the soldiers' excursion to Shiloh in April. And, by-the-way, thia promises to be a mammoth excursion. It is now estimated that there will be between 70,000 and 80,000 present. Pennsylvania has organized and already chartered nearly all tbe steamers at Pittsburg to take their Posts, and from New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, Savannah and other points in the south the Grand Army of the Confederacy as well of the Republic will meet in friendly union at Shiloh. It will be a mighty eqaadron on the river when they all meet. People generally may not knew that in Richmond, Va., the Union and Confederate Posts meet together in Robt. E. Lee hall in the friendliest manner. On one side otthe hall is a full length portrait in uniform, of General Grant and on the other of General Lee.

The governor and staff officers ot Iowa will meet the Illinois excursionists at Peoria. Euhl and Bates, of Evansville write that they have already sold over $4,000 worth of tickets and urge the Indiana soldiers not to hold back till A: March unless they may be crowded out by men from other states. The excursion will include not only old soldiers but all citizens generally, who want to go and then- wives. Many lady teachers talk of going with the party and visiting the battle field, aod it is certainly a most excellent idea as the points gathered will assist them ih teaching the history ot the war. s|

But to return to Mr. Kuhl's letter. He says there has BEEN BVT LITTLE CHANGE between Ft. Henry and Pittsburg Landing. The old house on the hill used as a hospital has been removed and the flag staff at the National cemetery is now near tbe spot formerly occupied by the hospital. There as 3,960 soldiers interred in this cerr-etery. The field where General Hubbard.' bad his headquarters has not been ploughed since the battle. At the place where Gen. Cruft's brigade camped the circles and squares around the old tests are still visible. Innumerable debris of the battle, camp kettles, old leather straps, bayonets, iron and lead are still being found there. The old Shiloh church was torn down about two years ago and a new one builtthere: Mr. Kuhl says he took a long, deep draught at the familiar Shiloh spring add also visited the old camp ot his regiment, the 14th Illinois Infantry, There he picked up an iron spoon, an elongated shell and a tin enp that had: belonged to a

MEMBER OF HIS OLD MESS

and had his name on the bottom. A few days before Mr. Euhl visited the battle field some children found an unexploded shell and threw it into a burning brush heap and ehortly afterward it exploded after lying on the ground tor twenty-two years.

The letter also contains interesting reminiscences of the two days' battle. There is now some talk of another excursion to Chicamauga and other southern battle fields in the fall.

Ground Hog Day. Fom Saturday's Bally.

It this is really ground hog day instead ot the 14th day of February as many think, and if there is anything in the pesky superstition and if—several if's need not be piled up—then we are to have bix weeks more of winter weather. The story is that if the ground hog sees hia shadow as he is sure to do on a sun shiny day like this, he will go back in bis h')le for another six weeks* sleep satisfied that tbe winter will continue that much longer.
