Obituary..

DIED, at her fathers residence in this city, on the
DIST ultimo, Of an attack of scarlet fever, Ellen
Singleton Wallace, daughter of David Wallace, Esq -,
aged six months and two days.
IT'S a melancholy sight to witness the sundcring
of the silvery chain which links the purer spirit to
the grosser clay to watch the feeble, fickerIng light
of Nature linger for a moment, ere final extinguish-
ment, DER the parted lips of infant loneliness, as if
it loved the holy innocence Of the baby heart. But
Oh how much more melancholy the scene becomes
when the affection of parents, the love of relatives, and
the interest of strangers, lend brightness to the chain
and beauty to the light, the bursting hearts of parents
who have lived only to love and love only can repay!
Time will heal the wounds they have received but
cannot restore the
"Unbloom'd bud of a promised flower
thus lost TO them forever. And even as 1t has found
peace, may God crown them with the same blessing.
DIED, on Tuesday the l4th inst, after a sickness
of several months, ISRAEL L. CANDY, in the 59th year
of his age. 1t has been a considerable length of time,
since it has been our painful duty to record the death
of a citizen so influential as a member of society, so
universally respected as a man, as Mr.. Candy. His
mind was well cultivated, by the study of the most
sound ancient, as well as modern writers. 1t was
his greatest pleasure to snatch moments of leisure
from business, in order to store that mind more fully,
by the perusal of the best authors, and to cultivate
his fine intellectual powers by the requirement of
still further knowledge. As a father, he always
GuucdNOiGu " I'll III HS nanny u iOfO III NhG
wise and good, as a husband he was ever kind and
indulgent, as a citizen ever afable and polite. In his
connection with society, he was ever characterized
for frmness of decision, yet always united with a
gentlemanly department, and such manners as CON-
mand respect. Energetic and decisive, he ever
pushed forward in the pursuit of bis o1n business,
and allowed no obstacle to swerve him from the path
which he had marked out as the proper one. The
community in which he lived will feel his loss for
years, and his family will ever cherish his memory
as that of a kind father and i~ndulgent husband.
No man in this community perhaps, has experienced
as much afliction in his household circle as DR.. Candy
and yet they were borne with a fortitude that few
could command. Truly, we may say the cup of his
sorrow was full. In the course of a long life, per-
haps he has committed errors. 1t is the common lot
of mortals. Yet we know that a charitable world
will. now that he has gone to his last account, let
them sleep in the tomb with him, and speak only of
the virtues that adorned his character. His philan-
thropy was universal and his benevolence unbounded.
May his ashes rest in eace.-Cragordsriae RerieT.

Owen County Convention.

Pursuant to public notice, the democrats of Owen
County assembled at the Court House in Spencer, on
Saturday, April l1th, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the different offices to be filed in Au-
gust neat. At one O'Clock the meeting was organized
by choosing the following gentlemen as officers /:
George Parks, Esq, President, Samuel Franklin and
Jefferson Wampler, Vice Presidents, and William NJ.
Franklin, Secretary.
On motion of james Eson Esq,
A committee of two from each township (repre-
sented,) was appointed for the purpose of selecting
suitable persons to be nominated for candidates. The
committee having retired to a private room, and Sc
lected a candidate for each office, returned to the con-
ventiOn and made the following report:
For RepreSentdtire-James W.. Dobson.
For Clerk Of the O. c. C.-Alexander Mcbride,
Junr.
For RecOrder-James Eson.
For Associate Judges-F. Hauscr and A. Good
win.
For School COmmissioner-William E. Taylor.
Which report was unanimously agreed to and
adopted by the Convention.
In answer TO the call Of many persons, Mr.. Dob
son came forward and made a few appropriate re-
marks in reference to opening the present canvass,
and concluded by accepting the nomination for repre-
sentative.
On motion,
ResOlred, That the Editors of the Indiana State
Sentinel be requested to publish the proceedings of
this Convention In the Sentinel.
GEORGE PARKS, President,
51PPEE:o Fa WahPtrn, Vice Presidents,
w. M. FRANKLIN, Secretary.
N. B. The democrats of this county are awake TO
their interest, and will doubtless do their duty in the
coming election. We have a fine prospect for sue
ceeding in our whole ticket, and giving Whitcomb
and Dunning a handsome majority. Coonery in this
county stands but a slim chance of success when the
democracy is united for the maintenance of her rights,
as l think they will be in the coming canvass.
Very respectfully, yours, &C.,
w. NJ. FRANKLIN.

Counterfeit So Indiana Note.

The public are aware of the counterfeits on the
last issue OF a 50 bill by the State Bank of Indiana,
In which bill the vignctte consists of two females,
an iron chest, a steam boat and the bow and masts of
a vessel. This is to give notice, that late issues of
the counterfeits of this bill have been seen, in which
the number of flowers in the wreath around the brow
of one of the females in the vignette is made to cor
respond with the genuine, and the signatures are
well done, but the distinct lines an the clouds around
the rignette may still be Observed, and may be relied
upon, an detecting the counterfeit, as, an The genuine,
the clouding is soft and blended, and no lines are per-
ceptibe By the naked eye. These late cOunterfeits, so
far as noticed, are on the Lawrenceburgh and Bed
ford Branches, the filling up of the Bedford notes be-
ing in blue ink, except the Presidents signature.

By last nights mail, we received the "Union" of
the 10th, from which we have room only for the fol-
lowing brief account Of the passage of the Oregon
''notice'' by the u. S. Senate.
We have had a very busy and exciting scene in the
Senate to-day. There were no speeches on the main
question, but from Messrs. Crittenden and PENNY
hacker. On Mr.. Aliens motion, the resolution
from the Committee on Foreign Relations was laid
upon the table, and the joint resolution from the
House of Representatives was taken up. On motion
of Mr.. Johnson of Maryland, Mr.. Crittenden's reso-
luton was then offered as a substitute for the joint
resolution, after having struck out the proviso at the
end, which specified that the President should not give
the notice until after the adjournment of Congress.
Mr.. Crittenden had expressed his assent to the omis-
sion of this proviso; and it was accordingly struck
out, when MIR. Johnson submitted the resolution as a
substitute for the House resolution. This amendment
was adopted by a majority of 10; and when the Sem
ate got out of the committee cf the whole, and the
question of adopting Mr.. Crittenden's resolution came
on in the Senate itself, it was adopted by a vote of
40 10 IA.
Towards the close of The session an unpleasant
episode was introduced between Messrs. Allen and
Crittenden for which we must refer to our report of
the proceedings.
The preamble of Mr.. Crittenden's resolution recites
the strong reasons which recommend the termination
of the Oregon question, by the giving of the notice,
and recognizes the duty of the President to give the
notice. The resolution of the Senate leaves the
giving of it, the time, &C., to his discretion.
1t now goes up to the House, and will probably be
acted upon before the close of the week.
The ayes and noes were as follows, upon which we
have no time for comment:
YEAS.-Messrs. Archer, Ashley, Anterior, Bagby,
Barrow, Benton, Berrien, Calhoun, Cameron, Chal-
mers, ]. M. Clayton, Corwin, Crittenden, Davis, Day.

For the year 1S43, 10 per cent or S320,000.
For the year 1874, 20 per cent, or $500, 900.
For the year 1916, 30 per cent, or 5000, 900.
Besides retaining a large sum as a reserved fund.
tOf the one hundred and sixty-fve millions of yards of
printed caIcoes consumed in the country, about $50 mil

on the latter, the revenue collected is about a million of
dollars but to get this million into the treasury, the en-
hancement of price to the consumers on the one hundred
and fifty millions is from three to four cents a yard-say
five millions of dollars as protection TO the manufacture
ers. Thus it costs the country SIX millions of dollars to
get one million into the treasury.
tor the manufacture Of shiriings, approximating 10 the
New York mills IN quality, there are about six establish
ments IN the country, the aggregate of whose sales may
be about two millions of dollars, and the annual wages
paid out of same will not exceed FIVE hundred thousand
dollars. The same quantity and quality Of shIrtings can
now be purchased at Manchester, in England, for one
million Of dollars, Gin proceeds Of our exports TO Liver
pool) If it were not for the present duty OF six cents
the square yard, or about the original cost of the goods,
the consumers would save half a million Of dollars annu-
ally, after setting aside for revenue to the country a like
sum, equal 10 the whole wages paid.

Thy notes how soft, how calm, how clear,
They fall upon my listening ear
Like music of the fading year;
As echo from some distant knell
Sends forth a plaintive Fare thee well,
So to this crushed and bleeding heart
Thy lines a moumful pence impart
To one who in a foreign land
Has how'd TO faie's relentless hand,
Thy verse so full of sympathy
Comes like Aurora DER The sea.
Sing on, for | would hear again,
That soothing, melting, lingering strain.
'Tis like the breeze from that green lea
That cooled my brow in infancy.
Bound by the magic of thy spell,
wander back to blooming dell,
Where sparkling, ripping waters fell,
And hear those sounds loved all too well
or friends with whom I once did dwell.
And in imagination's power
] row return to chiIdhood's hour
Slumber beneath my native bower
Breathe fragrance from my favorite flower,
Ere IRON my home | wander'd far,
To follow a false varying star.
And when my pilgrimage is DER,
And | shall sleep TO wake no more,

A requiem sing for her who knows not earthly rest?
