Wells, tie little son of A. Il. Riford, fell from
the top Of q corn crib and broke one OF his legs
just above the ankle. DIR. Winans chloro-

BILE to pain.
One day last week little child about two
years old, belonging to Mr.. Thomas Lynn, liv-
ing about two miles east Of this village, fell
from fence striking on an ak that stood near
it, In such way that the blade cut through the
chest into the right lung. The little one sur
fered much until DIR. wlnans placed it under
chloroform aud dressed the wound. At this
date the patient is reported doing well.

Judge Coolidge, OF Cass has decided that
witness cannot refuse TO answer the question.
whether he bought intoxicating liquor OF a
certain person.? on the ground that the answer
might tend to criminate himself. The justice
of this is admitted by all, and the utterly false
decision of Judge Brown has not been sustained
by eingle court or attorney, 80 far as we know.
This decision Will place conviction within the
grasp Of the law again. and IL acted upon, will
no doubt effectually control the open sale of
LIQUOR.

The Baxter law of Indiana provides that
every license to sell liquor must be granted
only at the request Of majority Of the voters
in the township or ward, for which the license
is granted. This law has decreased the sale OF
liquor So per cent, and closed nearly one-third
OF the saloons In the State. Therefore the
Democrats, in the present canvass, oppose this
law, while the Republicans uphold it.

ON Saturday last MIR. Joseph Rogers, OF
Waverly township, brought into our Office three
stalks OF corn as a sample of a field growing on
the farm OF VIM. Rogers. The stalks were
about II feet tall and well and heavily cared
lie a lso brought us a basket OF genuine Fal
Pippins, just to show the difference between
the true fruit and that which generally passes
for Fall Pippins.
The Benton Harbor Palladium says; at is q
fatal mistake to act on the supposition that the
more idle men, middle men and extravagant
and dissipated men town contains, the better
it will be for the producer. It is not necessary
for seventeen men to keep Groceries, and live
on cold waite and johnycake, in town where
only one grocery man could make living al
far profits. Competiti on may reduce prices
sometimes, but combination is sure to raise
them again even higher than before.
