The new steam fire engine at South Bend
has been tested, and accepted by the COM
mittee. 1t cost $500, only about $4,000
more than our man-killer, and one such is
worth dozen of ours at fire. Steam can

The Warsaw Ladianidn gets off the
following fish story.
"Mr. Alfred Rouch, while fishing in Tip
pecanoe River, the other day, discovered a
hollow log in the y:yer, and upon closer
examination saw fish sticking out of the
end of the log. which he killed with his
spear. A closer examination. revealed the
fact, that the log was full of fish, and in or
der to capture them, Mr.. Rouch pulled the
end OF the log on to his boat, stopped up
the end of il, went TO his house, procured
an axe and chopped out one hundred and
eight fish--ninety ty-six black bass, and twelve
cat fish, weighing from three-f0urths up to
three pounds each. This Is no humbug
story, but is vouched for as literal truth,
by both Mr.. Rouch and his neighbors."
The Indioniun speaks of one our citi-
zens Us follows:
"H. G. Thayer, Esq, of Plymouth, has
paid one hundred dollars towards the erec-
iiou of the new Episcopal Church in this
place. Our Episcopal friends are highly
gratified with this liberal act, and il is GER
tainly worthy of all commendatiOn. We
congratulate our neighboring town in hav-
ing so worthy and enterprising citizen as
Mr.. Thayer.' -
Mr.. Thayer, although OF a different
faith, contributed $50, we are informed,
toward the erection of the NJ. f.
Church in this place. His liberality is
proverbial, and is only bounded h.
the limits set TO his means. a score of
such men in town would make of Plym-
outh what she ought to be-the most i'm
portant town between Fl. Wayne and Chi
cago.
From the same paper we learn that Il
young man by the name of Albert Shirley.
residing in the west part of Kosciusko
County, was run over and killed by the
night express train going east on Saturday
night, the 23d ultimo, a half-milc west of
Atwood. The employees of the train in
formed those of the train going west. and
the train was stopped, the body was taken
up, and conveyed to Etna Green, where an
inquest was held before Samuel higgins,
Esq, and a verdict was rendered in accord
ance with the above facts.
The deceased was member Of the For
ty-e'ghth Indiana Infantry, having entered
the service at the time that regiment was
formed and continued with it until mus
tered out after the war was over. His
mother and step father reside short dis
tance west of Warsaw.
The IadidniQn says il has received
communication from the Secretary of Lar
will Lodge of Odd Fellows, in reference to
an individual who has been travelling
through the country soliciting aid from lod-
rotary of Larwill Lodge addressed note
to the Pos master at the place which he
claimed he was aresident of, who returned
an answer that he was an impostor, and
that he had practiced the same thing in
that county and had been published as such
by the county papers there. We make
al. In IL
throughout the country may be on their
guard.
The Stark County Ledger says over
1900 bushels of potatoes have been
shipped from that county by rail during the
present fall.
The Whitley County Republican an
cash system, on and after the 22d of Feb
ruary next. 1t says truly: "The num-
berlcss tniling losses to which the publish
er is subjected more than overbalance the
increased amount Of business which the
credit system will secure. Newspaper ac-
counts of long standing are very difficult
10 collect, and often cost the publisher
more than they are worth to collect them,
while those whs do pay in advance are
continually subjected to the annoyance of
seeing weekly "duns" occupying space
which might be filled with something OF
more interest to readers"
The Corydon Democrat says the old,
dilapidated seminary at that place. is to be
torn down and new one is to be erected
on its site. 1t was originally Lutheran
Church, and was built in 1897 or 1888. We
hope the Democrat will publish list of
the articles in the corner stone of the edi.
flee. We saw them deposited, and should
like to hear how well they had been pre-
served.
The New Albany Ledger says: "we
regret to see announced the untimely death
of MIR, Patrick Dougherty, at Vincennes,
on Sunday afternoon, by being run over by
train of cars. Mr.. Dougheriy was up to
a very recent period Postmaster at Paol,
having been originally appointed while
General Jackson was President, and hold
ing it under every administration since, no
matter what party was in power. A few
months ago he lost his aged wife, and hav-
ing himself grown old, he resigned bis
Office, and went TO spend the evening of
his days with a son residing near Vim
cennes. That he should lose his life under
such circumstances is indeed mournful 1t
seems that Mr.. D. could have escaped, but
became panic stricken and seemed unable
to move from the track, which there was
| time for him to do"
