IN addition to the debt interest
]iquidated while at the same
time there has been a reduc-

Since March 1, 1869, more

Gently. 1t is the money part
of the price of the country's
lite. 1t is being paid, as it
should be, by an Administra-
ton representing the people
who have already paid the
blood part of that price. While
demagogues of the party that
has throughout fought with
the foes of the government
are now endeavoring to rally
that party in a desperate raid
for the treasury OF the govern,

one unanswerable fact, the
complete relutation Of the host
Of ISLANDERS against the men
whom they have chosen to
trust.
The Congress that passed in.
to history March 4th has left
a record of some grand deeds.
1t reduced taxes nearly a huns
dred millions. Those letters
imposed by civil war have
been struck from the industries
of the country. The last er.
ring State has been restored to
its place in the Union. Many
vast schemes for enrlching
monopHlists at the peoples ex,
pense have been frustrated
measures of vital
pregnant with meal,
culable good or evil, have been
probed to the quick by sharp
discussion, and will in conse

require. With all its defects,
it has been a Congress worthy
of this progressive period Of
our history.
1t the Forty-Second Con-
gress does as much, and as well,
need be no fear for the
immediate future of the Re

judging people of the broad
land see and think for them
selves and the men who were
faithful to them through the
Rebellion will retain their con-

their trust remains as conspic-
nous as now.

this government into the hands
that attempted its destruction.

Porter. March IS, 1871.
Eds, Gazette: The unusual warm
weather we have had for some DAYS and
the incessant wind accompanying it has
rendered our roads quite passable, and
the temptation to plow for Spring wheat
and oats has been too strong for quite
number of our farmers.
The greater portion of the people of
this part of the county are engaged IN
agriculture, and l doubt if there IS a
Township within the borders of our
county where this important branch OF
industry receives more attention or
where the soil is better adapted to the
culture of wheat, corn and potatoes
than in our own.
This Township has its full share Of
the Pioneers of this county. among
whom we may mention the names Of
J. Van Sickle, NJ Sturdevant, H. Kem-
ball, Jas Meeler and others, all of
whom have resided in its precincts ever
since the time when Indians and deer
abounded in the forest But our fore
fathers are fast passing away. Only a
few days ago we followed to the grave
one of our oldest and best citizens, Mr..
Samuel bowels, a man of strict and un-
shaken integrity, the loss of whom is
and will be felt not only by his family,
but by the community at large.
We have in this Township three
church organizations, viz F.; Methodist
Congregational and Presbyterian. Each
has a good house of worship, and sup
ports public service regularly.
Our Public Schools are in a flourish
ing condition and the mum Der of pupils
taught compares favorably with that OF
any other Township in the County.
Stock is generally looking well and
feed is plenty.
There being nothing further to write
about, | therefore ask to be
EXCUSED.

our attention to your enterprise. The
only trouble in the way IS that Lima is a
bad point We would be at the mercy
of the Pennsylvania Central, which IS a
rival road to the Baltimore & Ohio.
W. not strike for Chicago at once
By that means we strike hands with the
Baltimore & Ohio.
A letter to Gen. Powell from r. c.
Rurd, President of the Cleveland, Mt.
Vernon &tDelaware road, states that the
recent action of other railroad com
panies has made it a matter of the first
importance that the Mt Vernon road
sheuld be extended to Columbus, and
that this extension will be built prior to
that to Delaware Judge Hurd says it
is not the intention 10 abandon the line
to Delaware. and that its construction
may be obtained Immediately after that
of the extension TO Columbus.
We are therefore at liberty to pursue
the new enterprise now proposed. Let
a public meeting be called and a com
mittee appointed to confer with leading
citizens at other towns along the line.

STRANGE BUT TRUE-Snictly tenn
perate habits are not often coupled with
a decided and habitual aversion to the
use of water as a beverage, but we have
in our midst an old and much esteemed
citizen who has these incongruous char
acteristics. He has himself informed US
that although he has lived in Delaware
many years. he is willing to make aft
davit that he has not since he came
here drank water a dozen times. During
the last ten years he has occasionally
been induced to taste the water Of the
College Spring but has never been able
to appreciate its good qualities. AT
one time he was induced to drink a
small quantity of well water upon the
assurance that It would relieve a severe
cold which afflicted him, but, alas. il
only aggravated the malady. He says
that during the last ten years he has
drank water not more than six times.
At his meals he uses coffee and tea, and
never indulges in alcoholic drinlss.

pedestrians and the streets blockaded
with vehicles. Particularly was this the
case on Sandusly and Winter street.
