'Squire Harmon W. Stuxts was ia leru and Rochester, on business, during several days last week. i it i i Blutfton Banner: "Mrs.

Arthur Wiley was called to Huntington last week to see her mother; who is lying dangerously ill." Tom Blackburn, of Bluff ton, was in the city last Thursday morn ing, and made short calls upon his lost of friends. Key. Dr. Stone, of Ft. "Wayne, preached a very able sermon at the Baptist church in this place, -last Thursday evening, On i Wednesday afternoon of last week, Mr.

Harry Stauffer and Kit tie Hier were united in marriage, the ceremony being performed at the MJ parsonage i in this city, by Rev. Mahin. 1 I 1 The steam shovel, used on the grade of tho new railroad, north of the city, was slightly broken last Thursday night, and a delay of sever al hours in the work was occasioned until the same could be repaired, Mr. Jacob Feudner, of Rushville, formerly an attache of TiieHukt- ington Democrat, is lying at his home quite ill with typhoid fever. Mr.

Gimmer, of this city, is now at Rushville, assisting in nursing him. The work of making out transfer books, a piece of labor required by an act of the last Legislature has been commenced byjthe County Auditor and his assistants. About fifteen books will be required for Huntington county. I I I Fred Myres, formerly of this county and of Brunswick, Missouri, at the time of death, was buried on the 22d of January. He died of that dread disease, small pox.

The de ceased was a brother-in-law of Jacob Boston, of Rockcreek township. FoifT Wayne i -Grand Rapid3 has a man who lounges about physicians' offices. The other day, when the' physician was not in: he picked his teeth with a vaccine point. It 'took and the Grand Rapids man's face is the shape of an inverted turnip." On Monday night of last week, the G.th the barn belonging to Mrs. Landes, located two miles north of Roanoke, was burned to the ground.

The fire was supposed to be the work of incendiaries. Most of the contents of the building were consumed. The loss will amount to about $500. on which there was an insurance of 0400. i Tiie funeral of Mrs.

Rachael Slater, wife of Policeman Slater, mention of whose death was made last week, was held last Friday at Union church. Union township, the services having been conducted by Elder L. B. Smith. The remains) were interred in the cemetery at that place.

By her death several small children were lett without the care and protection of a fond mother. i The Huntington telephone exchange is now an absolute certainty. The poles have been ordered, and general manager Carney is expected here in a course of a few weeks to make all he necessary arrangements. The work of arranging the line will be completed at the earliest time possible, and it will not be a very great while until the line will be in operation in our city. Wednesday afternoon of last week, John Erlenbaugh, aged about fourteen years, an employe in the flax factory, was endeavoring to put a cog-wheel on a piece of machinery, while the same was running, and his right hand was caught in the machin ery, and the palm thereof, together with the fingers of the one hand, was quite badly lacerated.

Dr. A. H. Shaffer dressed the wounds. About six o'clock Wednesday evening or last Mr.

ueorge Lb wry, who resides east of, the city, left hi3 horse and spring wagon stand ing unhitched on Jefferson street while he went to attend to some busi ness. The horse became trigntenea at some object and started to run down Jefferson street and along Ft. Wayne avenue at a very lively rate of speed. The horse kept well in the road, however, and as a consequence, no serious results followed the run away. 3 That dread disease, at tacked a family in Ft.

Wayne last week, five members of one family having been taken down with the sickness. It was learned that the family had purchased and eaten a quantity of smoked pork, and a microscopical examination of the same plainly showed the presence of the in-tect. The sick persons were in a very alarming state, some days and it was feared fatal results would follow the 8ickt. The "only kno wn remedy for this dread disease is to -cook thoroughly every piece of meat; and this done no apprehension need be felt It would be well for our peo ple to bear in mind this instruction, for no piece of pork can be Raid to be entirely free from these deadly little worms. III' If 19 I II I I I II II I i I I'' II I 111 11 I- I LJ ill iii ill mm BLAINE'S BUGLE From Which Brisk Blasts Are Blown Into the Ears of President i Arthur.

We, last week, spoke of the letter written by ex-Secretary Blaine to President Arthur in regard to. the latter's revocation of invitations sent out during the administration of President Garfield to the American nations, suggesting the propriety of holding a peece congress. The letter begins by stating the ob ject of the congress, which was to as semble at Washington for the purpose of agreeing upon such a basis of arbitration for international troubles as would remove all possibility of wars and troubles on the western hemisphere, and states that such a project was most cordially supported by the late President Garfield, and the writer had had assurances of a strong support also from President Arthur himself. After Mr. Arthur bad examined the form of invitation to be sent, it was approved, and in November last such invitations were sent to all the powers on the western hemisphere asking them to send representatives to the congress, and the ex-Secretary expresses great sur prise to find that a proposition has been made looking to an annullment of these invitations and was still more surprised at the reason assigned by the present Secretary of State, Mr.

Frelinghuysen. In order that our readers may the better understand, we here append Mr. Freling-huysen's language in regard to the project "The United States is at peace with all nations of the earth.and the President wishes hereafter to determine whether it will conduce to the general peace, which he would cherish and promote, for this Government to enter into negotiations and consultation for the promotion of peace with selected friendly nationalities without extending the line of confidence to other people with whom the United State- is on equally friendly terms. If such partial confidence would create jealousy and ill-will, peace, the object sought by such consultation, would not be produced. The principles controlling the relations of the Republics of this hemisphere with other nationalities may, on investigation, be found to be so well established that little would be gained at this time by reopening the subject, which is not novel." i Presuming the above language to indicate the position taken by Presi dent Arthur, Mr.

Blaine urges him to take another view of the case, as the excuse that by holding such a con gress, we might offend some European power, is one that no American should for a moment entertain. The European powers cannot possibly say that other countries should or should not hold congresses, if they so desire, and, in fact, it is a matter in which they have no voice or interest, hence, the excuse is of no value and falls to the Great questions are now coming up in American Governments, questions of interest, snd such as are of vital importance, and of these the govern ment of the United States may, at some time, be called to take cogni zance, hence it is all the more necessary that consultation be taken, and in order to keep perpetual peace in all the; countries, the United States should never hold aloof and refuse to exert its great moral power for the ad vantage of its weaker neighbors. In conclusion, Mr. Blaine points out many benefits likely to result from the holding of a peace congress, and urges the President to consider well before he fully decides in the matter. The letter is earnest and dignified in its manner, but shows throughout the terrible quarrel in which each of the two factions of the Republl can party have become involved, and also that each is determined to do all in its power to kill o.

the other. It is war to the knife, and presents a spectacle of the manner in which some persons in high places will con- descend to all manner of means in order to gain a little political power. Meanwhile, the voters are beginning to become dissatisfied and are resolved to take the matter in their own hands, and have also about concluded that a spoils party has continued in power long enough, and hence it is, that a change in the administration of public affairs is desired and must be made It cannot come too soq; the death knell of the Republican party has been sounded, and' Arthur, Grant, Conkling, together with all the rest of the spoils system supporters, will speedily be remanded to positions in private life, and 'honest men, will be given a chance to conduct the af fairs of this government. Chester Raymond, a bright and interesting infant son of Dr. and F.

M. Searles, of Roancke, died of membraneous croup, on the 4th inst after an illness of only twenty-eight hours' duration. The grief-stricken parents will have the sympathy of all in their great bereavement. Mr. Frank Blount, the genial and clever young traveling man from Wabash, was in the city Wednesday evening of last week.

Mr. B. has very many friends here who are al ways pleased to greet him. S. SnoFF assumed control of the old Hubbell house last Thursday.

The hotel will hereafter be known as the Commercial house. A Dwelling Burned. On Tuesday of last week, the 7 th a bouse located on the farm of Golvin Summers, in Rockcreek town ship, was burned completely to the ground. The fire originated from sparks from the chimney, and before it was discovered, the entire roof of the building was in flames which could not be controlled, consequently the structure was burned to the ground. Tha total loss is placed at between 8700 and $800, on which there was no insurance.

The building was a one and one- half story frame, and was occupied by John Nichols. He succeeded in saving a part of. his household goods and furniture, but much was con sumed together with nearly all the provisions he had stored in the house for the use of his family during the remainder of the winter and spring. i School Statistics. In his annual repot lately filed.

the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, furnishes many items in regard to the schools of the State which will be of interest to our read ers. The schools are all reported to be in a flourishing condition, and at many of them nnusually good work is being done. We gather the follow ing general statistics: The total enumeration of school children for the year in the State was 359,454 white males, and 340,290 fe males, 7.386 i colored males and 7,212 females, an increase over the preceding year of 10,785. The common school fund amounts to $9,133,606. The school tuition revenues for the year were $2,962,742, and the total receipts from all sources, $5,845,420, and expenditures $1,307,210.

The average of school days in the year throughout the State is 135. Four hundred new school houses were built, making a total of 9.640. in which 13..418 teachers are employed. The school property of the State is valued at $12,025,180. Teacbera are paid per day as follows, according to the average: In townships, males.

$1.92, and females in towns. males $2.62, and females in cities, males, $3.67 and females 82.14. I Wanted Dwelling Houses. Through these columns we have repeatedly spoken of the need Huntington ha3 for more dwelling-hous es, i Daily this demand is increasing and again we wish to speak of the matter and urge some one who has idle capital to invest it in thisj manner. There is to-day not a vacant house in the city to the best of our knowledge, and daily strangers are coming here to seek homes, but cannot remain driven away because they can find no houses We are reliably informed that no less than ten persons were bunting houses during the past week alone.almost all of whom were unable i be supplied.

The coming season will probably be one in which many people from a distance will be drawn to our place, desirous of seeking homes. The railroad shops and the various other en terprises on foot will bring in great numbers, and these people must be provided for. It is a splendid opportunity to increase our population very materially, and we need just the class of mechanics and artisans that must be among the number. In view of these facts it (behooves us to look well to this matter. If these necessaries are hot supplied we cannot expect to hold the people, and, as a matter of course, they will seek homes and spend their money elsewhere.

There are plenty men of means I in the city who can easily supply this demand for houses, and we earnestly hope that they will see the necessity for action. Many desirable locations for these purposes can be secured and the money thus invested will be well spent, in addition to yielding a handsome profit to the person so investing. We know of no project that at present offers greater inducements to the capitalist than this one, and in meeting this demand, he will not only add to his own exchequer, but will benefit the city and community at large, and assist in fur thering all enterprises that will even tually make Huntington the best city and the county the most prosperous and influential one in the Wabash valley. Who will be the first to make a start in this matter? And who ever it may be, let the work be commenced at rapidly carried on until the demand is fully and com pletely satisfied. I We have noticed but one sign out, bearing the ordinary familiar legend "for rent," during the past two years, in Rushville.

Rushville Republican, And here in Huntington, no sign 'for rent" has been put out for two years, but on the contrary daily inquiries are being made by people for bouses, and the supply is inadqeuate for the demand. The marriage of Xavier Myers and Barbara Scheff was solemnized, at the Catholic church, last Thursday morning. i Free of Cost. All. persons wishing to test the merits of a great remedy one that vv ill positively cure consumption, coughs, colds, asthma, bronchitis or afft-ction of the throat and lungs are requested to call at H.

Loweree, cashier of the Cincinnati Southern Railway, that splendid outlet to the South from the Ohio. Our representative waited upon Mr. Loweree, and in reply to certain questions the latter gentleman observod: was suffering from a very severe attack of rheumatism in my right foot; it was in a terrible condition the pain was almost intolerable; our family physician i waited upon me without success; I sent for another well-known M. but even i the twain could do nothing for me; I could cot get down here to the office to. attend to my duties; in fact I could not put my foot under me at all, and after nine weeks suffering I began to grow desperate.

Mr friend (whom of course you know, for he is known by everybody), Mr. Stanly Hill, of the Mt. Auburn Inclined Plane Railroad called to see me; he spoke very highly of St. Jacobs Oil, and recommended the remedy to me in glowing terms. I laughed at the idea of using 'proprietary medicine, and yet the party recommending it, Mr.

Stanly Hill, remember, being a man of sound judgment, set me to thinking the matter over. The next day, when the physicians called, I dismissed them, and said to myself that I would let nature take its course. That resolution lasted just a day. On the following morniDg in a fit of desperation, sent a servant for a bottle of St, Jacobs Oil. I applied that wonderful remedy, and it penetrated me so that I thought my foot was about to fall off, but it did not, in fact it did just the opposite.

The next morning the pain had entirely left my foot and the swelling was reduced, and really the -appearance was so different altogether from the day before, that it actually surprised me. I applied more of the St. Jacobs Oil, and that afternoon I walked down here to the office, and was able to attend to my duties and get around as well as any one. Let me say for St. Jacobs Oil that it beats railroad time, and i3 always sure to win.

Cincinnati Enquirer. i Old Time Manners. Young people of the present day are apt to laugh at the so-called, man ners of the old school, and to con demn them as stilted, grandiloquent. and insincere. They are unjust in this condemnation, probably because they judge of tbem only; by hearsay.

Men's lives were i more leisurely then. Thev put their best thoughts carefully elaborated, into their' conversation or their not in brief, undigested paragraphs for the morning papers. The slow current of life, too. and the more tranquil social atmosphere, gave time for friendly, kind feeling to elaborate itself into gracious words and stately courtesies a little formal, perhaps, but surely mqre agreeable than the court greeting or slap on the back of modern days. I A lady who visited Boston during bur civil war describes; an interview with the elder Josiah Quincy which illustrates the effect of manner.

"i was from the South, she says, "and when I wa3 brought into the presence of the venerable statesman, who hajL8een the birth of the nation, I felt uneasy that be might be dis turbed by being thus reminded of the people who were tearing it assunder. Besides, I was an obscure young girl, used to order myself lowly and reverj ently before gray hairs. I Conceive my surprise when he greeted me with as much respect as if I had been a princess, apologizing for keeping his seat in submission to his ninety-three years. -From Virginia?" he said. IfWhen you go home say to my brothers, in Virginia that I wish I could see them face to face, and reason about this matter.

I think they would hear me speak for my dead friend3, Clay and Randolph. i i I "When I took leave, the fine old man struggled to his feet, and raised my band to his lips. Do not forget my he said. It was like a message from the dead, and impressed me profoundly, and the courtly manner of an age gone by gave it an irresistible power. When Castlereagh was dead his valet was questioned as to the sanity or ins master in his last days, i "I think his reason was he replied.

"What are your reasons?" "lie spoke to me harshly twice in a week," he replied, tears rising to his "The first time in my fifteen years of service. Let Castlereagh's creed and morals be what they will, surely the self-control and kindly feeling which could make him the hero of courtesy to his valet de chambre for fifteen years, are worthy of imitation. Thoughts and Expressions. That is the best part of' beauty which a picture can not express. He that would not when he might, shall rot when he would.

Read only such things as you can afford to store in memory's treasure. If there is any person to whom you feel a dislike, that is the person to whom you ought never to speak. The philosopher should be a man willing to listen to every suggestion, but determined to judge for hinself. Write your name in kindness, love and mercy on the hearts of those you come in contact with, and you will never be forgotten. Some men are always trying to begin at the top, unmindful of the fact that it is folly to shingle the house until after the cellar has been dug.

If a cheerful heart, be a continual feast as has been alleged, there must be a large number of people who do not get a square meal once a year. Those who always speak i well of women do not know them enough those who always speak ill of them, do not know them at all. He that studies only men will get the body of knowledge without the soul; and he that studies only books will get the soul without the body. "When I look at the quackery and speciosity ef the tirn.es, I determine to cast all tolerance to the winds," said Carlyle in a conversation just "My detr fellow," said Sterling, bad no idea you had any to cast." i- Postmaster Pearson, of New York, was a letter carrier for sereral years.

30. A Giant's House. Capt. Martin Van Buren Bates, who lives on a farm near Seaville, Ohio, is 7 feet. 11 inches high, weighs 478 pounds.

Mrs. Bates is 7 feet, 11 inches high and weighs 413 pounds. It is a difficult matter to convey an adequate idea of the proportions of such a dwelling as the one occupied by the Ohio giants. A door that is six feet, six inches high is a large sized opening in a house that is, a dwelling house, not a cathedral. But the doors in the domicile of the Bates giants are ten feet high, and the knobs are nearly as high as the reporter's head.

The house was built by Captain Bates in 1876, and is -elegantly furnished. In the main building on the ground floor are, besides the spacious hall, the bed-chamber of the giants, a sitting-room and parlor. The couch upon which the big couple sleep was made especially for them, and it is a curiosity to look at. It is extensive enough to give the great people room to stretch in, and looks as big as an ordinary floor. It is really ten feet Iong, wide in proportion, snd about wice as high as an ordinary bed.

The magnificent dressing-case is also a huge affair with a glass upon it nearly as big as the side of a house. In the sitting room is a piano of ordinary size itself, but it is mounted on blocks two feet high, so that the in strument is away up in the air, out of the reach of common folks. There are two rocking chairs in this room that are so big that the reporter had to climb up into one of them the same as an infant would climb into a "high-chair." It is yery expensive for the giants to live, as they have to pay such an exorbitant price for ev erything they wear. For instance, it cost the Captain $30 for a pair of boots. It is a most astonishing sight to come across the two giants out for a drive.

City folks who have seen ponderous wagons with wheels reaching to the second story of a house, used i to haul stones weighing tons and ton, cau form an ideaof the ve hicle used. It is pulled by six stout Norman horses, and it is enough to make a man think he has got 'em sure, to suddenly meet such a specta cle on the road out in the country. Passing wagons have to let down the rails and drive into adjoining fields until the giants go by. I How Cheaply One Can Live. Bread after all is the cheapest.diet one can live on, and also the best.

A story is told that shows) just how cheap a man can live, when he gets down to mush, literally speaking. Colonel Fitzgibbon was many years ag-, geneial agent at London for the Cauadian Government, and was wholly dependent upon remittances from Canada for his support, i On one occasion these remittances failed to arrive, and he was obliged to write to his Canadian friends to know the rea son of the delay. Meanwhile he had just one sovreign to live upon. He found that he could live upon sixpence per day or about 12 cents of our money four pennyworths of bread, one pennyworth of milk, and one pennyworth of sugar. He made pudding of some of the bread and sugar, which served for breakfast, dinner and supper, the milk being reserved for the last meal.

i When his remittances arrived, about thirty-three days had five shillings remaining of hissoyreign, and he liked his frugal diet so well that he kept it up for over two years, possibly longer. Twelve cents a day is certainly a small amount to expend for food, but a man in! Minnesota worried through a whole year on $10; he lived on "Johnny cake." We know of a theological in an Ohio college who, sustained by grace, rice and corn bread, lived thirteen weeks on $7 but there were several good apple orchards near the college and the farmers kept no dogs. It is not the necessities of life that costs much, but the luxuries; and it is.with the majority of manKind, a3 it was with the Frenchman who said that if he had the luxuries of life he could dispense with the necessities. Mere living is cheap, but as the hymnolo-gist says: "It is not all of life to live." j. Where Jersey Cows Come From.

Jersey Island, the place from where we obtain the favorite Jersey cow, is a small spot of land. If squared, is six and three-quarter miles each way. Yet this little island has a population of 600,000 human beings, and has over 12.000 cattle, and has had that amount for the last twenty yeare, for the census of 1861 gives Jersey Island 12,037. And they 'export annually on the average of 2,000 head. Roughly speaking, they manage to support one bead of kine to every acre, while in England there is only one head to every ten acres therefore, in proportion to its size, Jersey exports as many cattle every year as England contains.

If England should export cattle at the same rate, her whole stock would be swept away in a single year. A good Jersey cow will yield half her own weight in butter a year she rarely exceeds! eight hundred pounds, and her average weight at home is about seven huudred pounds.) What little spot on earth can make a better showing? Farmers and If you wish to avoid great danger and trouble, besides a no small bill of expense, at this season of the year, you should take prompt steps to keep disease from your household.

Philadelphia Ledger. The saying: that the faculty of speech was given to men that they may conceal ttieir thoughts is eclipsed by a reply attributed to the Chevalier Bunsen.

He was present with Bishop Bloomfield and others at a "clarivoyant seance." The bishop, amazed at the performance which, of course, he could not explain, exclaimed, "What then were our eyes given us for?" Bunsen immediately "replied, "To limit our vision." This certainly is a clever paradox. The significant truth it expresses is comfirmed in every observing man's The hopeful, sanguine and curious see wonders mentally and can give the exact dimensions, capacity and style of castles hr the air. -But when actual sight and experience are appealed to the airy vision is limited and circumscribed by stubborn facts. Half our lives are spent in dreaming and the sight in dreams is far-reaching and magnifying. Bring 'the theories of philosophers and discoverersthe scope of their imagined vistas down to the test that seeing is believing and then they frequently find the things they think they see are dissolving views.

In the political field the "far-seeing" politicians are preparing themselves for an illustration of Bunsen's definition. All see: but since all do hot see alike, there must be many cases of color blindness, and the roseate hue, in the actual light of events, will prove its somber to ninety and nine. If our eyes are given us to limit our vision, those are wise who make the limit include what they actually know, and never overlook the present and practical in trying to peer beyond. 1 I I -i j.
