We gain this information from seeing them mentioned in the city dailies occasionally. They are candidates fur the same office, and the one is called a traitor Ac., while the other is accused of swindling the govemment in the manufacture of beer contrary to the restrictions of the government on such traffic. Hasn't Chicago an honest man to bring forward for office?

Mr. j Lisbet for several years was a real-I dent of Benton, where he was engaged in the milling business, operating the j flouring mill since owned by Steti.hr Bros, which Was bunted several years ago. Mr. Lisbet was well known in . that vicinity and his death will be | deeply lamented by many who were the friends of the deceased. Different opinions are expressed by different Journals as to the propriety of the president's selection of ex-sena-tor Chandler as secretary of the interior, and while most democratic papers denounce the action of the president, from a partisan standpoint, we find many republican journals joining in the denunciation, for the simple reason that the people of Michigan last winter, through ite legislature, had seen fit to give the position in the United States senate to the present occupant, senator Christiancy. ExUenator. and now secretary of the interior, Ch andler is a man of great experience in the conduct of governmental affairs. and in view of the fact that state legislatures are frequently manipulated in the interests of ambitious political aspirants, we think that his defeat for the senator ship last winter is far from, showing that the people of Michigan were ready to repudiate the man who had represented that state so long in the senate of the United States. While it was. perhaps, not the very best appointment that could have been made, we believe th*i Mr. Chandler will make a very efficient member at the president's advbexa- i

not «ux* caw or m united mm It is probable that the grain crop of this country for the present year has 3 been over-estimated, and that there will bo quite a falling off in tbe number of bushelS4jf the most lmpert* nt cereals when compared with the products of other years. Men who have not the facilities of information upon this subject to enable them to form correct conclusions in regard to it, are found forming their opinions upon it from what little information they can gather from the newspapers’ from the various sections—and these nr® often unreliable —and from the condition of the crops in the localities where they reside. When Indiana is blessed with bountiful crops, the mass of the fanning comunity here are confident that the production is beyond the demand, and that prices will rule below u remunerative point This is true only when abundant crops are realized in all the grain-growing regions of the country, which is far from being the (ipse the present year. The majority of the fanners in this section of the state have reaped abundant harvests this year, and in many other portions of the country the same results have been reached, yet it is probable, from a careful study of the statistics, that there will be altttivy falling off in farm product* when compared with the pn*ce*ling year of 1874. From Washington it is reported that the agricultural returns for (letober of the present year show a heavy decrease ! iu the production of grain, and that the quality shows a marked deterioration. The average thus far reported is placed at only jM) per cent of that of last year. .This would place the crop of wheat this year at 246.01x1,000 bushels, and shows a depreciation of at least 02.000.000 bushels from that of 1874. The crop of wheat it is said averages at least 14 per cent below a sound condition. The crop of coni for tins year is at least 4 per cent lielow that of last year, while tlie crop of oats is 5 per cent greater. The potato crop of the country is unprecedented and greater than that of any preceding season for a number of years. Tobacco Is 2 per csnt. above an average; buckwheat above an average; while barley is 87 per cent below that of last year. The teachers’ institute at Warsaw, last week, was largely attended, and a lively interest was maintained throughout the entire session. The state superintendent was in attendance Thursday evening, and lectured upon the educational interests of Indiana. “The material Indiana,” said he, “ is so large Uiat the entire population of the globe could stand on the half of one of her counties, and she contains fuel enough to supply the nation. The spiritual Indian* stands second to no other state in the Union. Her school fund is the largest, and her schools are rapidly taking the front rank.” The speaker explained fully our school system. After be had finished speaking, we could not keep from thinking that Indiana is just as good as any other state. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: lU-solted, That we tender the school board ot Warsaw our thank* tor support. We cordially extend to the townshjp trustees and county coxniubsiuners. our hearty thanks tor their unanimous supj>ort of the teachers’ county institute. t'ur worthy superintendent, W. L.

Me. Jay Cooke, our talented Leesburg correspondent, last week mentioned the fact of a culling affray having .taken place at the village of Mmioquet a few days previous. Under the head of “The Monoquet affair,” the Ituiianitm gives the full particulars of the ease as follows: A somewhat serious aflalr occurred on Saturday night at Monoquet between two young men. There had been some trouble between Framkux K. Co****, a young man of about twenty yean of age. and CU*TO* C.

There Is no truth in the story that the boys had I been drinking. Secretary Robeson has done one act that he should receiv® credit for.

The North pole has undoubtedly slipped a cog or two, and is tioating southward. Else why this cold weather? . Two car loads of hogs and cattle accompanied Ed.

The dance at the Junction did not “pan out" very heavy the other night, owing probably to Uiejjtofui. There was a sufficient nuffiber of the male pursuasion, but, the females were n<m tit.

But you can’t tell any more about a jury nowadays, than you can tell which honw to l»et on in a race. We have had an auction ttore in town for the List week, but guess they don’t leave with any more wealth than they can conveniently carry. Our j»eopie are fast learning the fact that they ban do belter with home merchants.

But of course its none of our “biz.” and we shan’t mention it. ’cause we expect they feel “just so young as they used to was." The masonic dedication was a grand success, and everything passed off in tine shape. Why shouldn't it? The assemblage was composed principally of members of the order, and they must dwell together in peace and unity, you know. Although some people did eat as if they had been saving themselves up for a Week to do justice to the occasion, and I think they did it Our friend Doc. Beckneil plays his hand with only one optic at present; the result of trying to take a “fly ball ” with the other. He held the ball for a second, then “muffed” it The affair happened just after Doc. had put on his other clothes and got his hair nicely “ mueilaged ” to attend the masonic dedication. He didn't swear, or nothing, oh. no; but that boy had better take his “little hatchet and go west.” Keno. From Go*h*n. Prof. Shaw, of Bellefontaine, O, lectured in the M. E. church, on Monday night of last week, on education. The Elkhart county teacher’s institute is in session this week, at Elkhart. Several Professors from abroad are participating in the proceedings. On Friday evening a tornado i>as.sed over a portion of the country west of Goshen, which did a g<xxl deal of damage. anil so wrecked the house and barn of Josiah Snyder that they have to be rebuilt. A part of his orchard, anil some timber, were also demolished. Tiie commencement even uses of our normal school, on hist Saturday evening. were a success. Prof. Mowry, who is the head and front of this institution, deserves much credit for his exertions in behalf of education and the advancement of teachers. The lectures of Prof. Harding, on physiology, are also very highly spoken of. This little incident occurred at the lecture x»n Friday evening: A lady who is- Thdined to be a little fleshy, was assisted to her seat by one of our gentlemanly young ushers. “ 1 believe these are your chairs, madam. Nos. — and —said our friend, “ will you occupy them both?" “No sir," snapped the offended lady, who thought the young impertinent hail his eyes on her physical proportions, “no, sir! somebody else will occupy one of them." Tramps are not the only beggars that annoy the people. Within a week our city was canvassed by the Rev. Mr. Connell, to raise funds for the Bethel, in Chicago; and by two catholic sisters to ask donations for an orphan asylum in Hamilton, Ontario. These are both worthy enterprises; but is it not a shame that wealthy communities like Chicago and Hamilton send their missionaries into the country and smaller towns for charity? We all have our poor to care for. and the large cities are abundantly able to look after their own poor, many of whom were pauperized by their own abominable municipal laws, regulating the sale of whisky. The furnace® are being put into our school house by a Cleveland firm. The architect is “Charley* a first-class mechanic of African descent He came to Goshen oue day last week on the 3 o’clock morning train, and, in spite of the civil rights bill, found one of our hotels so full that he could not possibly be accommodated with lodging. Fearing a similar repulse at the other hotels, he walked the streets until daylight when he called on CapL Billings, and received his breakfast from the Captain’s excellent lady. During the day arrangements were made for Charley to board and lodge at the Violett House, where he was courteously received, and is treated like an honest and industrious man deserves to be. On last Friday evening Mrs. Stanton delivered the first lecture of the regular course for tins season. It had been announced that she would lecture on “Seward. Greeley and Weed,"—a firm which was dissolved many years ago by the formal withdrawal of Mr. Greeley —but she changed her mind as to the subject, and spoke on “Rich and Poor.” She discussed finance, land-monopoly, taxation and tariff. Her remarks on finance were in the extreme billallen style, although she made many good points; but her theory on land distribution is the rankest communism. Lake all other communists, she took it for granted that there is a certain fixed amount of wealth, which can be neither increased or decreased, and whieh is Mioatobyad**. She could see no

way of making the poor rich, except by taking from the rich a part of their poeseasitfna, g* them to the poor, and thus bring3ll to a material equaltty. it did got smite the old lady .thafci the poor taught to create wytith, < and thus aoaumulate, without muting tharich poorer. “To be suae,” shoeaid. "the poor might go west and Ideate home-eteads. but by doing so they would have no school-houses, churches, railroads, &c.and it never entered her mind that they could build for them selves the necessaries of civilisation, just as the early poor, but now rich, settlers of all parts of our country did. The true idea is to bring the poor up to the rich, and not compel the rich to meet the pauper ludf ways, and share their possessions with. them. As well advocate a compromise between ignorance and education, vice and virtue, and laziness and industry, in order that mankind may stand upon a level. The true doctrine Is to see to the elevation of the poor, the vicious, and the thriftless in their social relations, without debasing the rich, the virtuous, and the industrious. If we hear that Mrs. Stain toh will enter into a partnership with her washerwoman, and the two make a weekly or monthly division between them of their respective incomes, we' will believe that our lecturer is sincere. In our country we have no landed aristocracy. The children of many of those that were wealthy on yesterday, ate to-day begging their bread; and those whom we saw lately clothed in rags, are gaining affluence. Wealth is Continually changing from the shiftless to the industrious, and additional wealth is daily drawn from our soils, forests and mines. Aminadar. From Mew Parti.

Trias Immvratoa. (The following article from the Lan- : caster (.Pa.) Advocate, of 1872, by request of Rev. Lewis hmtz, without indorsing the views , contained theagn; Ed,] According to our specified arrangement for the discussion of the subject, as given in our last issue, we proceed with our inquiry into the HISTORY OF TRINE IMMERSION. Bingham, in his Antiquities of the Christian Church, Vol. I, p, 535, says. But I must observe further, that they [the churches toward the close of the second, and in the third, centuries] not only administered baptism by immere. - sion under water, but also repeated this three tiroes. Tertuttian speaks of it as a ceremony generally used in bis time: We dip [says T.] not once, but three times, at the naming of every person of the Trinity. The same is asserted by St. Basil, and St. Jerome and the author under the name of Dionysius, who says, likewise, that it was done at the distinct mention of each person of the blessed Trinity. St Ambrose is most I>artieular in the description of this rite. Thou wast asked, says lie, Dost thou believe in God the Father Almighty ? ' And thou repliedst 1 believe, and wast dipped, that is buried. A second demand was made, Dost thou believe in Jesus Christ our Lord and in his cross? Thou answeredst again, I believe, and wast dipped. Therefore, thou wast buried with Christ A third time the question was repeated. Dost thou believe in the Holy Ghost ? And thy answer was, I believe. Then thou wast dipped a third time, and thy triple confession might absolve thee from the, various offenses of thy former life. Robinson, in his History of Baptism, testifies to the same effect, and so do all the other authors, which we have had time to examine, and which speak at all of this subject. From these various witnesses, therefore, we are warranted in the conclusion that about the time of Tertullian trine immersion was extensively, and perhaps universally, practiced. It was during the time of Tertullian that special attention was directed to the various questions which naturally prepared the way for the great Arian controversy. This controversy took its start in the Church at Alexandria, in Eygpt, about the year 318, and resulted in the formation of several (heretical) sects. Arius himself was actively engaged in forming a party of his own, and as a mark of distinction between those of his faith and the great body of the Church, he practiced baptism by a single immersion. The followers of Anus became quite numerous within Haifa century from the opening of the controversy, but about the time of the Council of Constantinople, A. D-881, they began to decrease, although they continued to keep up a separate organization for half a centurv beyond that date. During all this time baptism by one immersion was practiced by them, while in the main body, of the Church three immersion constituted baptism. But as the passions which had been excited by the Arian controversy subsided, and as new controversies sprung up on other aud widely different questions of, theology and Christian ethics, the practice of . trine immersion passed into disuse in the Western Chtirch. The Eastern or Greek Church, however, adhered to it, and does so to-this day. Hence at the time of the formal separation of the Greek and Roman Churches, a schism mainly promoted by the “ Filioque Controversy,” one of the characteristic differences between them consisted in i the mode of administering baptism. The practice of trine immersion was j thenceforward wholly confined to the .' Greek Church, with the exception of parties which at various times split off from the Church of Rome. Since the ' Reformation there have been several sects which have practiced trine im- ■ mention, and at this time it is practiced by the Dunkers, the Seventh Day Ger- ■ man Baptists, and a few other minor ' sects. ■ i Were it needful we might go into • particulars respecting the various sects, 1 since the time of Tertullian, which have practiced trine immersion, but no special end would be secured thereby. ’ The whole history of trine immersion , : may be thus briefly summed up: ' 1. We have authentic historical in- ’ ‘ formatitm that trine immersion was [ I- generally practiced as early probably, i ! as the year A. D., 225. 2. That it continued to be the prei | vailing practice, so far as known, until ’ the breaking out of the Arian contro- [ , yersy, A. D., 818, when Arias and his . i 'deciplea or followers commenced the practice of a single immersion. 3. That the practice of one immersion. after the close of the Arian controversy, began to prevail more generi ally, until the entire Church, with the exception of the Greek-speaking portion, administered the rite In that way 1 until the change from immersion to sprinkling was effected. 4. That, with the exception just made, trine immersion has been prac- , ticed, since the sep.iration of the Greek and Roman Churches, only by a comparatively small number of Curistians i up to the present time. There is no argument against trine immersion in the fact stated in this last specification, so that there is no temptation for us to make a statement other- ■ wise than in perfect conformity to ■ known facts. We have thus given * concise, definite and correct statement I of the historical facts on this subject We did not go back farther than the time of Tertullian because he is the first that mentions trine immersion. > Os what he and others say of its prac- ■ tice before his time we shall speak in the proper place. Here we wanted t accepted facts, and these, and these only, have we given so far as we know. One of the oldest institutions of learning in Northern Indiana, the Collegiate Institute of Ontario, is now in ' successful operation, with Prof. Patch at its bead, who has been connected with the school for thirty years.—ft s Wayne tiatette. » MISCELLANEOUS. i I BOOT AND SHOE SHOP.
