DoN'r AoReE.-The Editor of the
Laporte Argxs. who Is a Democrat, in q
very carefully written article, eioquently
argues himself into the belief that the
18th, 14th & 10th Amendments should be
maintained and fully endorses and &C.
cepts the Valandigham, or new departure
doctrine as the true faith of the Demo
cratic party, and concludes that all who
do not fall in with this theory might
very properly be looked upon as the
fossilized remnants of the red sand
stone period"
The Plymouth Democrat of June list,
in an editorial on the same subject, con-
demned the departure as inimical to The
good order and well being of the Demo
cratic party. and considers 1t of very
doubtful policy" for that party to attach
its fortunes to any man." The Democrat
Is opposed to the new faith, and re fuses to
run "pell NELL" with the ''irreconcila6les"
in search of some new discovery in po-
litical ethics" The Argus endorses the
departure. The Democrat does not; and
in this difference Of opinion, we would
infer the editor of the Argus to be one Of
the ''irreconcilables," and our neighbors
to be several strata lower than we could
possibly have placed them.

MONTPELIER, BLACKBOARD Co., IND,
June 10, 1871.
Mr.. Editor Thinking your readers
would like to hear from this part of the
state, | write you the following:
Montpelier is situated on the Salmon
ia river, thirty-six miles south of Fort
Wayne. on the Fort Wayne. Muncie and
Cincinnati Railroad, and is nine miles
north of Hartford, the county seat of
Blackford county. Montpelier is beau
tiful place, and is doing good business.
1t has three dry goods stores. one provis-
ion and grocery store, one shoe shop, one
harness shop, two wagon and blacksmith
shops, one photograph gallery. timer,
cooper, cabinet maker, and four milliner
shops. 1t is not very healthy place
They started a saloon, but unfortunately
one hundred and eighty gallons of their
rio, as the Bourbon items jokingly has it,
leaked out one night, and the streets were
perfnmed for several days. They haven't
tried it since.
An egging scapc took place some time
ago at Matamoras. half mile east of
Montpelier. Four respectable young la
dies assailed one, Mary Black, well
known street walker. She was put to
fight. We have often heard of egging
ARRAYS, but never before were we an eye
witness. The girls were arrested and tax
en- to Hartford, but were cleared on the
ground that no one saw the eggs thrown
One witness, having a little too much
Bourbon aboard, testified as follows:

ed up and | thought Il was raining eggs
| didn't know whether they were coming
from hi or heaven, &c.

we may send a division flour veteran egg
company in that direction to watch the
corners.
We see, in your last issue, that cores
pondents are solicited to write for the RE-
PUBLICAN. We will do the best we can
for your paper, for it gives us much salts
faction to read from its columns. We

and we wish you to send it to one of our
friends in Iowa, as soon as can ascertain
his address. Everybody ought to take the

Our SABBATH SCHooLs.-If you will
visit some of the Sabbath Schools of the
prominent cities of our state, you may find
them attended with greater numbers of
pupils, and surrounded with larger libra
ries and greater afflucnce, but nowhere can
be found a more brilliant number of
scholars than in our own town.
We have the honor of being an humble
teacher Of a class of girls in one of the
schools, which We would scarcely con-
cede had superior of their age, and after
imperfectly discharging our duty as teach
er Of this class, we visited another school.
No idlers being permitted here. and a
teacher Of one of the classes being absent.
the assistant superintendent requested us
10 take charge Of this class. Each could
read correctly, which We admired; but
when every question was answered cor
rectly, and with apromptness which could
scarcely be expected from older scholars.
we were astonished. This class consisted
of eight little girls, the Oldest of which
could not exceed seven years We know
they have good teacher, and shall never
forget their smiling looks when they de-
tected our surprise at their brilliancy.

month and days.
She was married in 1892, in Berkley
county, Virginia; moved to Marshall

always ready 10 assist her neighbors. in
sickness and death. She has left large
family, and many relatives and friends to
mourn her departure TO that country

Several minister's. on their return from
the general meeting in Pennsylvania, paid
visit to Salem college, which was very
gratifying to its numerous friends. They
were well pleased with the appearance of
things generally, and all seem to be of the
opinion that our college will prove grand
success. Citizens and distant friends give
it their liberal support, and all look for
ward to the day when difficulties will be
removed, new buildings erected, and un-
der the efforts Of our talented Professors,
and grateful citizens, we will have a school
second to none in the United States. Its
glory is destined to send its refulgent
rays of light over the length and breadth
OF our land Our town is noted for up
rightness and promptness, and we have
only had two lawsuits, and don't know
when the next will be.
