1t is our painful duty to chronicle the
decease of another old and highly esteem
ed citizen of this county-CHARLEs VAIL,
who died suddenly of heart disease at his
residence in Springfield township, last
Saturday evening. Mr.. VAIL was one of
the earliest settlers in the county; man
of sterling worth; and beloved by all who
knew him. 1t is worthy of note that Mr..
VAIL was the first man to take out a mar
riage license and the first man married, IN
LaPorte County.

argued at length by the attorneys for the
defense, they offered in evidence the fact
that BRIGHT had made restitution by de-
livering the paper to the Sectretary of
State While not legal defence, and
while the evidence il form was excluded,
the jury were put in possession of the
fact that under the pressure of the
Indictment Mr.. BRIGHT had disgorged.
Such defense would not acquit poor
devil who should steal stick of wood from
a neighbours woodpile, and returil it six
months after when indicted for larcency
but we were satisfied it would let DICK
out, and advised IA noNeIpr0sequt of the in
dictment as soon as he declared his will
iugncss to return the property out of
which he had defrauded the State
congratulate Dick upon his escape,
for it is nothing but an escape. We con
gratulate him still more upon his evident
disposition to desist from further fraudu
lent practices, and shall make it a special
duty Sc to watch his official conduct that
his strong desire to obtain money from
the treasury by fraud be restrained within
just bounds We don't know but we
might safely leave that matter to the flu
ture care Of SHOEMAKER That officer is
certainly under great obligations to us for
the useful lessons we have impaired to
him concerning his official duty, and if he
shall succeed hereafter in guarding the
Treasury against BRIGHTs unlawful de
signs, it will be because we have indelibly
impressed upon his mind the Importance
of attending carefully to his official du
ties.
The result of BRIGHT's case will also
eXalt. the excellence of our humane crimi-
nal code, and the method of its admins
tration, in the estimation of mercitul men.
Scoundrels Will also be encouraged to be-
lieve that however the Legislature may
seek to persecutc and punish them, there is
no crime or viilainy 50 fragrant but that a
corps of able cri ninal lawyers may sue
ceed ia finding o. devising some way OF
escape. Some cross grained, malignant
people of cadaverous aspect may be dis
posed to complain.
We would remind persons 50 disposed
that Section Is, Article /. Of the Consti
tuition Of our State provides, that "Pht
penal code shall be founded on the prin
ciples OF reformation, and not ofyindctive
justice Never was reformation more
thorough than in DICKS case We do moi
believe he will ever swear to another bo
gus voucher if he were to be State Printer
! a thousand years. He repented in sack
cloth and ashes, he has sorrowed for his
sins, and has made restitution, after IA fash
ion. We ask vindictive people, in all ser
iousness, Would it not be unconstitutio
nal to demand more than this :"

Sending Newspapers by Mail-Import.
ant Decision.

By a recent decision of the Post Of
flee Department, the law regarding
sending newspapers by mail has been
more clearly defined than it has hereto
fore stood. No name of memorandum
can be made on newspaper inside of
the wrapper on which the address is
written. 1t is barely permissible to
mark an article with pen or pencil
More than this subjects the paper to
letter postage, and the violator of the
law to fine. No printed card, handbill
or advertisement, no written notice,
letter, or slip of any kind whatsoever
must be folded in the paper. To do
any Of these things is violate the law
Printed slips pasted on the outside or
folded III papers or periodicals, solicit
ing notices, are also violation OF the
law. Sending Of transient papers can
send bundles Of printed matter by
weight at transient postage charges,
but must not send any written matter

Facts for the HOusekeeper.
IRONING CLOTHES.

When starched clothes stick to the
iron, 1t is exceedingly annoying, and
the housekeeper is rather apt to get
vexed and discouraged. Many think it
is owing TO the manner in which the
starch is made; but this is not always
the reason. One cause Of starch stick.
ing is owing to the adulterations in
starch itself SO it is very essential to
try and procure the best article Starch
gloss is used to prevent this sticking,
IN lieu Of adding polish.
Some laundresses shave hard soap
and boil it up with the starch. An ex-
cellent way to make clothes stiff is to
starch them when wringing out of the
rinse water, then dry them on the
line, and when about to be ironed,
dampen them in water in which raw
starch has been dissolved. Spread
them between dry clothes and roll them
up tight for a quarter Of an hour, when
they will iron very smooth.
Another desideratum is to take good
care of the irons. Many housekeepers
who are called neat, will let them stand
on the stove for days, catching all the
Stops Of cooking. When not in use
they should be kept in dry place
Once the face is rusted Trey never look
as well again. But il case Of their be-
coming rusty, rub them on emery CT

Rulcs for Dolls.

4 wooden-he doll should be care
full not to hit her head against her
mammals lest she should break it.
A doll should try to keep away from
the rockers, as the rocking-chair may
break loose, and crush her. A crushed
doll never regains her spirits.
A wax-doll should avoid the fire, if
she wishes TO preserve good complex
ion.
A rag-doll should try in every way
to improve her mind. knowledge is
worth more than beauty.
Often an old doll with a cracked head
and sweet smile is more beloved than
a new doll with sour face.
A doll should never be proud; for
what is she, after all, but DOLE Also
doll should never be jealous when
she sees another doll more finally
dressed Looks are nothing: behavior
Is ALL
1t is bad plan for dolls to be
stretched out on the floor too often, as
stupid and heartless people are apt to
tread on them. A doh that is trodden
on is sure TO go into decline.
A doll should never go out without
her mammals leave. Once there was a
doll who had a beetle for horse.
She had a riding-dress that swept the
ground; and the shiny back of the bee
tie made beautiful saddle
This did very well while the doll rode
in the playhouse; but one day she
thought she would ride in the fields.
She did not ask her mamma.
Well, when she got into the fields,
her beetle became quite wild. He saw
other beetles at play; and he saw fire
flies and grasshoppers, and toad that
jumped as high as dandelion. SO he
began to hop and jump too, and threw
of the foolish little doll under some
clover leaves.
Here she might have lain until this
very day, and have been rained upon,
and be showed on; but a chicken
thought her yellow riding-dress was q
lump of meal
He pecked at her, and carried her tc
his mother hen in the coop. The hen
made such clucking. that the dolls
mamma came out to see what was the
matter; and thus she saved her child.

Birds Eggs.
BY ANNIE MOORE,

There was once little boy-Tommy
who made up his mind that he mast
have a collection of birds eggs. SO he
went out of doors, and the first thing
he saw was bird just flying into a
bush. He said to himself, THAT bird
has nest there as sure as the world -
Then he peeped carefully between the
leaves and saw the bird on her nest
She saw HIM at the same moment and
started little, for she was frightened.
Then he parted the branches and she
hoped out of his reach, and he saw in
the nest five lovely little eggs.

stretched out his hand toward them.
=. Take care Don't touch them ~
SAID the bind "ify you do, they won't

Now Tommy had often heard birds
sing and ehirp, but he had never be-
tore been near enough to hear what
they said. SO he was very much sur
pused, and stood with his mouth and
eyes wide open.
- Did you mean to disturb them p
asked the bird.

New Torpedo Boat.

The torpedo boat which is to be
built at Boston will be quite formida-
bic affair. 1t will occupy wear in
building, and when completed will be
about 10 feet long, and 80 feet wide,
and ID feet deep, and will draw about
y feet of water. She will be of $50
burthen, will be driven by two power
full engines, and will carry two propel-
lers The Prov Of the vessel will be
made sharp, and six feet under water
will carry steel ram. Above the ram
there will be an apparatus through
which will pass "a long composition
spar, on which will be placed torpedoes
similar to those exploded at the yard
recently. She will be heavily plated
on the sides with iron six inches in
thickness, and on the upper deck with
steel an inch and half thick. The
plating is being manufactured for her
IN Pennsylvania, and will soon be for
warded to this station. The estimated
cost is $500, 600, but it is very probable
that more than this sum will be reauir-
ed before she is completed. The crew
OF the vessel Will not probably exceed
forty men including officers. She will
be capable of sailing twelve knots an
hour, and of making ocean voyages.
The style Of the vessel will be similar
to a monitor, only she will have no tur-
rets. The vessel will be used in case
OF war to blow up or crush vessels do
ing blockade service, working at night.
She Will carry no guns, but depend
upon her engines for safety.

An Ignorant Dog.

An old farmer went ont one day look
ing over his broad acres, with an AK on
his shoulders and small dog ut his
heels. They espied woodchuck. The
dog gave chase and drove him into a
stone wall, where action Immediately
commenced. The dog would draw the
woodchuck partly out from the wall,
and the woodchuck would take the dog
back. The old farmers sympathy get
ting high on the side OF the dog, he
thought he must help him. 50, put
ting himself in position, with ak above
the dog he waited for the attraction of
the woodchuck, when he would cut
him down. SO an opportunity offered,
and the old man struck, but the wood
chuck gathered up at the same time,
took the dog in far enough to receive
the blow, and the dog was killed on the
spol. Forty years after, the old man,
in relating the story, would always add ::
and that dog don't know TO this day
but what the woodchuck killed him.
