TO HEENAN
a PRIZE SONG.

The London correspondent Of the New York
Herald, in speaking Of the prize.ight between
Heenan and Sayers, which comes off on the 10th
Of April, says:
One would not naturally suppose that there was
much of the poetic element in pugilism, and yet
the muse on this extraordinary occasion has been
pressed into service for the purpose of giving ecat
% the affair. An effGsion, entitled the "S0pg of
the Belt has just been Published and set to music
and printed beneath the portraits of the two men
whose prowess IL Is intended to commemorate,
may be found in many Of the printshops and book
stores along the Strand. It Is SO peculiar IN its
character, and yet 80 chivalrous in its tone, that
cannot resist the temptation on transcribing it and
sending it to you. It is as follows:
He bears for brave old England
The belt Of British fight
And proudly will he meet the man
WHO dare contest his right;
He'll meet him with friend y hand, a
He'll meet him as brother, =
But that which heart and hand can hold
He yields not to another. Y
Give welcome to the manly heart
That bravely crossed the sea
10 battle for his countrys fame,
Whatever land il be-
Which ever way the fortune falls,
Twill be our pride to show
An honest lad from any land
viii find no British foe.
The sable CONS Of Africa
Have fought e'er now for fame
And boldly now America
Pats forth an equal claim.
Had coward Asia learned the art
Great Britain calls her own,
The bastard slaves had never struck
Our maids and matrons down.
We wnnt no pistol, ball nor blade,
But muscle, sinew and bone,
A hand to hand for friend or foe,
We trust to it alone
Then honor fall where honor's due
While honor reigns within,
America aud England, too !.
And may the best man win.
CHoRUs- Then good luck to the stranger
And better luck to Tom
And may tho belt of England
Meier leave its native home.

Lanes MAJoRITY.-We are told that a
mistake has been discovered in the count Of
the vote in one township of Dubois county,
by the correction OF which Colonel Lane 8
majority would run up to over 10000. The
vote is so one sided there that recount
will make no difference in the result but
we hope some of the few Republicans OF
that county will confer II favor on the cause
by making a recount, just for the satisfac-
tion of the party, so it can be said that the
majority for gallant Hal is 10000. 1t is
close To that now, but we want to see the
figures raisel to 10000 or over.

OBITUARY

Died in Mechanicsville, near this CITY, OF
! the 3Ost of September last, DR.. JOHN LINDs
LEY, in the 8Ist year of his age.
DR.. Lindsey was a native of woodbury.
Conn. His mother, whose maiden name
was Judsou, was second cousin to the DIS
tinguished Missionary to Burmah OF that
name, and, dying when her son was ABOUT
eleven yeaIs of age, his training was com
mitted to his maternal grandparents. lie
pursued his professional studies under the
direction of DR.. Orton, and was admitted to
practice about the year 1906, and was
strongly urged to settle in his native town
Being however of an independent mind, he
preferred relying upon his own unalded re-
sources, and, about the year 1909, shortly
after he had married Mrs. Parma Whittelsey,
mother of Mr.. William Whittelsey, whose
children are now worthy citizens amongst
us, he removed to Ulster Co, New York,
then almost a wilderness, but rapidly filling
up with the hardy and enterprising sons Of
New England.
DR.. L. was a man of liberal spirit, large
intelligence and great integrity, attaching
himself with calm, bat earnest, persistent,
Christian steadfsstness TO everything cal
cnIated to promote the public veal. In the
year 1909, when the White Lake Presby-
lcTfdu OuuECu WIS BauiECu1 HO A@ANAAO =
profession of religion and was at once
elected ruling Elder of the church. lie
twice represented his county in the Legisla-
ture of the State, first in 1928 and subse-
quently in 1929. In the year 1885 he re-
moved to this county, locating three miles
north of the city, and was soon thereafter
chosen an Elder in the First Presbyterian
Church (now Rev. Mr.. McCarer's), in which
Office he continued until the time of his
death.
1t may be truly said that good man has
been taken from our midst-One whose
best epitaph to those who knew him, will
be his upright and consistent and selfsac-
rifcing life. AS Physician, he was sue
eessfnl and generOus-as quick to hasten to
the pallet of the poor man, as to the couch !
Of the wealthy praeticing TO an extent |
which is but rarely equaled, without
money and without price -; esteeming it !
one OF the high privileges of his being, to
initiate "the Great Physieian," whose life !
Was spent in going abroad doing good"
He was greatly interested 10 the welfare |
If Sne rising generation, particularly in the |
,ause of Education. lie was a school |
rustee, and sabbath school teacher up to
he time of his death.
"Blessed are the dead, which die in the
lord" II.

DIpN'T co TO THE PoLLs-Tt IS an ascer-
tained fact that in Scott Township, this
Comfy, there were twenty or twenty five
Republicans, in Perry from thirty to fifty,
and in Union from ten to fifteen, who
didn't vote at the State election. Now
it is too bad, that any Republicans should
stay away from the polls when so much is
at stake as there was then Amy one who
will neglect to exercise this great privilege
of American citizen at amy time when
he can possibly get to the polls, ought to
be DISTINGUISHED two or three years, so he
can appreciate the advantage he enjoys in
being able to choose his own rulers.
Republican voters enough can be named
who, had they voted, could have elected
Hugo joint Representative, thereby giving
the party that much more weight at the
Capital; cut Laws majority in his own
county down to a nominal figure given
Lane handsome majority over Hendricks
and the whole Republican State ticket over
date for I -surer; and swelled our vote
generally very materially.
We hope this failure to call out oar fall
vote will have the effect to inspire Repub-
Iicans with more determination in future,
! and to induce them to perfect their
! organization throughout the county
Now let us see whether, at the Presiden-
tial election, those Indifferent voters cannot
the good work in which We are engaged.
