ED. True NoRTHERNEg
SIR,-There are some mistakes in the last
number Of the TRUE NoRrHERNER, in regard
to the "Jones affair" which would greatly
please the people OF this vicinity to have recti-
fed, Ii matters but little about the man Jones
who 10 SAFE but honest people do not wish
Mrs. Bagley-Bedell- Jones to play the role OF
martyr at public expense. Her constant pre-
varicaton during the whole affair, thoroughly
dlsgusted honest people who then lent her
their sympathy and aid, believing her stories
to be true but when they found that they had
been dressing her children in stolen clothes,
sett No her table with stolen linen, they mme-
dately placed her on level WI tn her husband.
She had been known to receive letters, address,
ed to Duane Bagley, care OF Charley Jones'"
and explained the same by saying. that she had
q cousin by that name.
1t hardly seems possible that Mr.. Jones pre-
pared the telegram. since 1t read, " Your son,
Duane is dead" His death was quite unex-
pected to all She did not carry the dispatch
to the Office, because she Immediately, after his
death. dressed herself in mourning and sat
down. Her father-in-law, John Bagley, came
here with the story, that he was robbed. and

On Wednesday last. We had the pleasure OF
attending, as IN invited guest, the ANIMAL re-
union and picnic of the family of William
Engie, Esq, who lives about one and quarter
miles south of this village. There had 90.
sembed goodly number Of relatives and
friends OF the family, who ali seemed as happy,
cheerful and merry as larks. and enjoyed the
good things provided for the occasion with
much zest and relish.
The persons present were mostly descen dants
of Mr.. Pitcher, (the father Of Mrs. Engle, who
settled at an early day in Cass County, on the
border Of the township OF Hamilton, in this
County,. and those who had married into that
family, and the children OF such marriages.
They were OF all ages, from the grand and
and grest-grand fathers and mothers down to
the infant of few months. Among the eld-
ers, after Mr.. Engle and his wife, the host
and hostess We noticed father Rawson of Paw
Paw, uncle Brooks Of Hamilton, Mr.. Pitcher,
OF Cass County, whom we understood to be the
oldest surviving male member OF the Pitcher
family, and Mr.. Merriman, Of this village
Among those OF younger age and in the vigor
OF man and womanhood were two sons, three
sons-in-law, L. Crandall, S. A. Smith OF this
township, two OF the Sloans, Mr.. Osborn, o.
Markham, Mr.. Baxter and Mr.. Brooks, of Ham
ilton. and their wives, together with several
friends from Cass County whose names we do
not now call to mind, and Mrs. Bowling of
Dowagiac.
The tables were spread under the beautiful
naples in front of the cottage, which were
planted years ago by Mr. Epgle himself. At
about one o'clock the guests were seated, and,
after the invoking Of blessing by the Rev.
David Engle, partook OF most Dountiful re-
past, prepared for the occasion. We counted
sixty-eight grown people and twenty-six chill
dren, making ninety-four in all. The day was
lowery and threatening, which kept many away,
as they had long distances to drive. At the re-
union last year there were one hundred and
four persons present, and had the weather
been favorable it was thought there would have
been much greater number this year.
We wish MIR. Engle and his estlmable wife
return Of many such reunions, and that their
children and friends shall enjoy as much hap
piness in each recurring anniversary as they
did on this occasion.
An elegant cake was sent to our wife and
daughter by the young lady members Of the
household for which they will please accept
thanks.
