Marin ont correspondence.
MARMoNT, Ind, Sept. 18th, IA.


Marmont matters, by certain citizens OF
this place. And what was at first in
tended for fun, seems TO have assumed a
serious aspect. And you must not be sur
prised should some one turn historian,
and reveal facts which have taken place
here, which will rival the Beecher-T ilton
scandal. One has the history of Juno,
which he thinks he can get up so sue
cinctly that it would only require one
square of newspaper column. Wait a
while, friends; give him pickle number ..
and if that does not bring him to his sem
ses, then write it. Another wants to write
the history of watch intransitu, wom-
an deserted, and a man on his knees beg
ging to be taken back into society. An
other wants to write the history of COT
fee-mill Reader" of the Democrat, and
thinks it would effectually silence him.
If he repeats himself. say give it to him
Another wants to write up the man who
says 20 the Sunday school officers of this
place, " Go on in your own way. outsid-
ers have no right to Interfere" and then
goes to the other party and says, if nv
boys had my grit, they would run this
thing themselves" History is intensely

the young man who thinks it smart to
call preacher Wood "old granny Wood
The truth is, certain people of this vi.
cinity feel themselves so outraged by men
who commit crimes that smell to heaven
and stink to hell, and then shamelessly
push themselves forward in society, at.

zens that they feel it their duty to make
public expose Of the insolent pests OF
society. If they will put themselves on
good behavior, let them alone; il not, ex
pose them.
Unless certain persons mend their ways
mind their own business, and let other
people alone, there will be a grand reve
lation of hellish wickedness. which, per
haps, might otherwise remain forever in
the dark. Ii may be the duty OF some
grand jury to find out who is the real of

As for Juno We know him well. Hci:
a regular long nosed. suspicious looking
pot-hound, visiting every kitchen within
reach, looking into the pots and sticking
his nose into all the dirt and grease he
can find in kitchen, pantry or larder. He
will get a kick yet that will send hin

As an itemizer, Juno is held by people
here to be common liar. There is but
little truth in all he has written for your
paper, and nearly everything is misrepre-
sented by him. In his account of the
farewell sermon of the pastor of this
place, he said the text was nearly as long
as the sermon. The sermon was 80 min
utes in delivery. According to Juno it
took nearly half hour to read the text
His statements concerning the reorganiza-
ton of the Sunday-school here are equally
false, as to the cause of the recrganiza-
