SwINDLERs ABRoAD-THE HORSE
HAY FORK GAME.-Last Wednesday two
well dressed men stopped at the residence
of D. F. Miller, in German township and
staid over night The next morning they
represented themselves as owners of
brakes Horse Hay Fork and Hay Car
rier patent, and by plausible representa-
tions induced Mr.. Miller to buy the right
to sell the machine in the townships of
German, Warren and Olive, he giving them
his note for $500 due in six months. The
men have well prepared blank leases,
likely to deceive the shrewdest, and one
of these duly stamped and signed was
given Mr.. Miller, a sample fork was
promised and the men left. Mr. Miller
after considering the affair, began to think
that all was not right and he has eau
toned parties against buying his note.
We learn that Mr. Sawyer, near Misha-
waka, also purchased right, and have no
doubt the men, who give the names of
Chas. Golden and J. B. Drake, are the
same ones who recently operated near
Fort Wayne and realized some 5000
from the farmers there.-South Bend

Laporte is Improving.

A visit to Laporte, on Friday last, con-
vinced us that Laporte is improving not
only in business houses, and in the num-
Der of business men, and the kinds OF
business; but in the spirit of its inhabi-
tants, When visiter goes there, they
invite him to visit the Water Works,
which are a great convenience-andt to
look through the splendid blocks of bust
ness houses built last year. This is much
more pleasing than to hear every man
you meet say, Laporte is dead-no ener-
gy among her business men-men of
capital take no interest Except the 20
per cent. they charge for accommodations
in the growth of the place. 1t is ali
changed now Merchants are branching
out in their business, and they are get
ting up very respectable wholesale
trade. Mr. D. G. Decker, the well known
Dry Goods dealer, is now importing
Crockery and GLASSWARE, and selling at
wholesale and retail, cheaper than the
same goods can be purchased in the large
cities. He keeps large stock expressly
for the wholesale trade

1t was remarked by large number of
competent judges that last Saturday was
a decidedly cold day. No one, not even
the stubborn man had the audacity to dis
pute the assertion.
An exchange says that winter fingers
in the lap of Spring. If it don't give the
old chap the tooth ache, it can't be done
by sitting in an awful cold lap.

The Sen. Editor of the Bourbon Mirror
is anxious to make it appear that the Re-
PUBLICAN is rather small affair, when
compared with with the Mirror. We
have the satisfaction of knowing that
gentlemen of taste and culture, are well
pleased with the REPUBLICAN. If the
editor of the Mirror succeeds in making
the people believe that he publishes a
good paper, and they support it, he should
be satisfied We have never once insin-
uated even that the Mirror was not first
class paper Those who read it can judge
for themselves.
The Mirror has no claims upon the Re
publican party for support, as a Republi-
can paper 1t is too independent for that.
The editor of that paper occupied the un-
disturbed position Of a Republican party
editor in Marshall county, for many years,
and when he left it the Democratic ma
jority was only about 900, which is all
the comment necessary upon his pitchin
style. That counted rather more than
was profitable to Republicanism.
