ladies' did not lie dbed all day Sunday
with Waverly Magazine, as they do To-
day in our country. No such fast doings
one hundred years ago were seen. To-day
murder does not shock the human mind.
Compare this state of things with
tina. OF thirty years ago, and see the adj
vance (s) in human fastnesa. The de-
stIuction by fire of populous and
wealthy city is a sensation of but six
weeks, or say as many months standing;
then it is, as the late Chicago s. Alton
Railroad disaster at the bridge, forgotten.
When come to think of the advance

ARGOS, IND, Jan. 9th, 1874.
Mr. MILLIKAN.
The holidays have come and gone,
about the usual amount of gayety and
festivities being INDUCED in during the
season.
On Christmas eve, the boat was moored
in front of the rostrum in the NJ. Z.
church, well laden with gifts; some mu-
nifcent, others trihing; but the penny
whistle doubtless brought as much joy to
the heart of the recipient, as the more
costly gifts. If such lairs were for the
benefit of those destitute of the comforts
Of life, their influence would doubtless be
greater and more humane.
The fox hunt last week afforded vast
amount of amusement to those participa-
ting, but if reports are true when the ring
closed, there were more empty bottles
than foxes. There is to be another hunt
to day with more perfect discipline. and
will no doubt be crowned with better sue
cess.
A revolver was accidentally fired in the
school room here one day last week,
which luckily did no other damage than
to shatter couple of states This we
trust will serve as a warning for the flu
ture, and if our young friends icW indulge
in such dangerous weapons for amuse-
ment, they will be considerate enough to
lay them aside when they start 10
school.
Next week We will try to give you the
proceedings of the Teachers Institute,
which was held here on the Sd inst. For
the present we will say of it, that the
schools were all represented, also quite a
number OF visitors were present. among
whom was our County Superintendent,
T. Mcdonald. who presided over the al
ternoon session. A lively interest was
manifested by all.
Wonder if the individual who leaped
from the back door of a store room, at
Walnut, into pond of water and wadcd
out breaking the ice, to avoid the pay
ment of dollar which he justly owed,
has suffered from the influenza or other
serious ills in consequence of this rash
act If so, he is to be pitied, lin horn.)
NJ. B. Hopkins, Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, says of the Baxter Bill ::
THAT while it has not in the least aba
ted the evils of in;emperance. it has de-
prived the school fund of 100000 annu-
ally"
The Grange movement seems of late TO
be an exciting topic of conversation. The
most animated discussion we have heard
on the subject was between our friends
Dan. H. IS DR.. r. B. Eaton; both
came off second best with their feathers
u little ruffied
Since our friend ] L. has become a
Granger. it is stated that he carries an ear
of corn in his ''trowsers' -pOcket-cant
however, vouch for the truth of the state
ment.
DR.. r. B. Eaton says, he made pur-
chase of chicken from one of his Gu sto-
mers the day before christmas, Which they
have been boiling ever since, occasionally
making a meal by slicing from the most
tender parts He thinks with good wood
to keep up fires, in another week they
will be able to masticate the balance
that it was the first chicken ever Matched
in Argos. a tough story, as well as
tough chicken.

The snow squall kept many of the
unfaithfGl in the house on last Sun
day. The parties of the past week
brought them out in spite of the weather.
That was an apt sermon got off not long
since by one of our preachers, under the
smile of hunting the BRIDE" meaning
merely, hunting the church, and would
have stood repeating last Sunday morning
in all the churches of Plymouth.

DEAR EDITOR:
Since my letter written on Christmas
day, very little of importance has trans
PRED. 1t is true the old year of 1878, with
all its ills and sweets has since then ex-
PRED; that hundreds have since then
wendell their ways to their Eternal
homes; that hundreds have since then
been married and given in manage; that
thousands have since then been born into
this world, some for good, and some for
evil purposes; that many thousands of
acres of land have changed hands, some
have grown rich since then, some have
experienced the reverse of fortune, some
have been made happy and others nisera
be, and yet, we say nothing ofimportance
has trsnspired! What a fast age we do
live in--but single century ago so
much would not have taken place IN ten
tong years. Then Railroad Engineer
STRIKERS" were never heard of; then S61
Fire Alarm Boxes" located in single
city were not dreamed OF. To-day Chics-
go has that number. and they will be
used, conmencing to-day at noon "revok-
ing all former fire boxes" Then the
Theatre Comique" was thing unheard
of, to-day Chicago alone has three of
these, one of which T. J. Howe & Co.,
Nos. 56S. $40 and 573 South State street,
is equal to Fred. A,mes' of Pittsburgh, or
Fox's, of Philadelphia; then street cars
passing once in fiiteep minutes in Lon
don was considered very good To-day
you can take . street car in front OF cur
residence every minute. for north or
south. and at the turn table at the foot of
State Street you.c can secure car every
10 to u seconds for some division of Chi
csgo. Then II 600 loaVes of warm fresh
bread were seldom given out on the street
corner Of any city. Last week the enter
prising men of Chicago handed out to the
bearers, that number of loaves to the hun
cry denizens of our city. Then enchant-
ing female singers were seldom called mp
on the stage the seeenfh time, as was Miss
Nellie Mcdonald last evening, at one Of
our popular theatres in this city. Then

would naturally suppose that such Urge

they pat up ,ast amounts of ice. John

Co. have IA houses, and are arranging to
pack 1900 tens. There are six other ice
houses, besides great many for individ-
ual use. The ice is not all used in La
porte, however. much of it goes to Gin
cinnati, Louisville. Indianapolis and Chi
eago. Ifthe Laporte ice crop will pay
for the liquor used there, it will be great
benefit TO the place.
