REfLEA OF The INDIANA PhESS
CAss CoUNTY.-The Logsnsport Sun is
subject to phases in respect to the "head'
after the style of the moon. The latest as
pect is the best yet, however. The centra
cut shows the "rising orb OF day" as it lifts
above the distant mountains, which are
viewed across an expanse of water. On the
watery surface lies a label, "The SUM-" that
there may be no mistake about the white
spet above, and what it represents. Go on
improving.
JACKSON CoUNTY.-The Rockford Touring
mill was burned on last Friday morning, it
is believed by an incendiary. The Seymour
Times makes the following statements /:
Mr.. Musselman had the evening before put
in the mill eighty-five bushels of wheat.
There were also forty barrels of -four and o
considerable quantity or meal ard feed, ready
for shipment. Most OF this could have
been saved but Tor the crazy freaks OF
Mrs. Rockstroth, who assailed every
body with brickbats that attempted TO
enter TO rescue The property. The pecun-
larry interest OF each OF the parties en-
engaged in the litigation makes 1t impossible
that any of them could have destroyed the
mill and it is left for subsequent events,
almost sure to transpire, to confirm the
theory OF shrewd Observers in regard to the
fire. This is the fourth mill that hat been
burned on the spot. The loss must be S20,-
600 to s25, 900. The allusion to litigation
above by the Times, VIII be understood by
most, as the long drawn law suit about the
said mill, has been widely commented on,
though nothing has been said about 1t Tor
some time past.
MORGAN COUNTY.-Martinsville is shu d
de-ing from an expected attack ofthe praying
epidemic. The Republican interviewed the
leading druggists, saloon keepers and clergy
to obtain their views. Most of the witnesses
seemed resigned to the coming fate.
MADISON CouNTY.-A two Thousand dol
lar blaze happened to the machine works at
Anderson last TuesGay.-Captaln Jo-
sept 7. Smith received a birth day present
from the Methodist Sunday school at An
derson last wednesday. There was an in
promtu supper and many pleasant incidents
as represented by both the Herald apd DEM
ocrat.
LAPoRTE CoUNTY.-A distressing scandal
has fallen upon the city of Laporte. To
sum it 10 in a word, one DR.. $. B. Collins, a
married man, and the wife of Colonel s. O..
Gregory. fell into an Illicit attachment for
each other. The consequence was that,
breaking through all barriers, both were
divorced from their lawful partners, and
have been married to each other. Though
not transgressing in this second marriage,
the letter of the law, the citizens are so out
ragged by the affair as to express their alb
horrence OF it by burning the newly welded
pair in efigy, on Monday night of last
week. The high standing and respectable
ity of Mrs. Gregory's family kept the matter
from publicity a long time, and sympathy
for them afiicts the whole town now that
all is made public. The Chicago Times
made a sensational article giving the history
in detail.
ORANGE CoUNTY.-A temperance society
beginning with $50 members was organized
not to mako, buy, sell, or use as a beverage,
any spirituous or malt liquors and we further
pledge ourselves to discountenance, by every
means in Our power, its sale or use as a
beverage.
