Marshall Circuit Court.

The Marshall Circuit Court is still in
session, and in the 4th week of the term
Up to the present time many cases OF
minor Importance have been tried. The
greater portion of the time thus far has
been given to criminal business, estates,
guardianships, motions, demurs and the
settling of issues. The docket is being dis
posed of as rapidly as the nature of things
will admit, and in such manner as to re-
fleet great credit upon Hon. H. Corbin.
our present Judge. Many cases are delay
ed on account the incumbent Judge hav-
ing been interested therein as counsel, and
to try such cases Judge Stanfieid is pres.
ent; who carries with him that same dig
nified, benevolent and intelligent look as
in days of the past. Strange to say that
10 years has left but few traces upon his
face, and taken little from his genial ma
ture. May he live long to grace the
Bench he has Sc honorably filled. Two
Judges being present, two courts are
therefore in session, and we may reasona-
bly, hope fora speedy disposition of all
the business.

We have before us pamphlet giving a
brief account of the Bourbon College
Normal School and Business Institute
1t contains general remarks on Bourbon
and its advantages, and the aims of Bour
bon College, from which it appears that
the institution is intended TO furnish com
plete scientific and classical collegiate edu-
cations to qualify teachers for the work of
teaching; and to thoroughly prepare
young men and women for business. We
believe, from a cursory glance at the pages
of the pamphlet, that the institution is one
eminently worthy of the support OF Mar
shall county, and in fact of all Northern
Indiana. We observe that our good
friend DR.. A. c.. Matchette is one of the
Board of Trustees, and is also a member
of the Faculty, with the designation of
Professor of Chemistry, Anatomy. Phys
iology and Hygiene, sure guarantee that
those branches of study will be taught
with ability and thoroughness With the
other members of the faculty, we are not
but have no doubt they are
skilled in their various classes of learning
The institution merits generous support

BOURBON.

Tuesday, the 18th of June, Bourbon had
big show, and was seen by ten thousand
people. more or less.
We saw j. w. Days, and Drs. France
and Matchette shipping seed corn an
other suppliesto hoppered friends in the
West, this morning
The corporation Board of Bourbon did a
fine job by appointing an entire new school
Board, which appears to be heartily en-
dorsed by the citizens of Bourbon.
Bourbon has it's Mirror, Il four-sided
paper, with three sides published in Chi
cago-the inside, outside and right side
The left side is run by l. Mattingly.
Now friend REPUBLICAN, we will close
this communication to you for the present,
but will promise you along article on mat
tiers ofgeneral as well as local interests
from this place next week.
We feel sorry that two of the School
Board could not serve, that were appointed
by the town Council, as they were worthy,
live Republicans, and the other worthy
Democrat, which would have been relished
by our citizens.
The people of Bourbon have no repre-
sentative in the newspaper line except
through correspondents from here in other
newspapers to-wit: the Plymouth Demo
crat, and Warsaw Indidnidn; and we are
therefore left out in the cold as far as Re-
publican interests are concerned.
Prof. S. T. Allen continues to run our
corporation schools with number of COM
petent teachers, to great advantage to our
town, and great satisfaction to our people
He needs no better passport for second
term, if he wishes it, for we feel certain
that our school Board might look farther
and fare worse.
We are happy to learn that the REPUB
LICAN will be continued, and from this
time henceforth, we will receive it in its
improved and renovated condition We
are also happy to know that we will con-
tinue to have a Republican organ in this
county. and will therefore endeavor to
contribute our mite occasionly if agreeable
or desirable, but should We do SO we will
frankly inform you that we are subject to
positive views, and may be little to sharp
TO suit neutral men.

Good Words i'm Advance,

Weare glad to note the kind lines and
good will with which the press generally
has received our accession to the REPUB-
LIcAN; and we present here few of the
friendly comments which have been mad
in advance of our first issue:
Gen. Packard of the LaPorte Chron-
icte, concluded his purchase of the REPUB-
LIcAN office, last Saturday, and will com
mence the publication of the paper as
soon as the material can be put in con-
dition, and other necessary arrangements
completed. Mr.. Smith, who has been
placed in charge of the mechanical de-
par ment, informs us that the first number
will appear within two weeks. Gen.
Packard has the ability and the pecuniary
assets to make the paper first class in all
respects, and we shall be glad to see it put
on firm financial basis, and issued in an
attractive form. We wish the General
peace and prosperity in his new enterprise
Democrat.
Hon. Jasper Packard, of the LaPorte
Chronicle, has purchased the Plymouth
REPUBLICAN, and will continue to own
and edit both parers Mr.. Packard has
made the Chronicle one of the best news
papers in Indiana, and will doubtless
bring the REPUBLICAN up to the same
high standard. AS an old friend, and for
several years our Representative in Con
gress, we shall always wish the General
great success in the field of journalism.
F0aoler Herdld
The Plymouth REPUBLICAN has been
purchased by Gen. Jasper Packard, of the
LaPorte Chronicle. Success to Packard
Messenger.
Gen. Packard, editor of the La Porte
semi weekly Chronicle, has purchased the
plymouth REPUBLICAN, and proposes to
run two papers-one for LaPOrte and one
for Plymouth. The General possesses
the ability, means and grit, to make his
new venture success, il the enterprise is
a practical one. Success to him.-Ken

Last Friday night, Henry Thayer and
his family were astonished TO hear at their
front gate strange and unwonted noise
and confusion; and hastily looking out,
they beheld what to them seemed stranger
than the noise and confusion. There were
no fewer than hall hundred sheeted and
ghostly forms, and all camoring for adj
mission. And they were admitted, hob
COLLINS and chimeras dire, witches and
wizards, sheeted beings from the pale
realms of shade, it mattered not to Mr.
and Mrs. Thayer; hospitality was upper
most in their thoughts and hearts, and they
would have hung out the latch string to
this weird company if they had worn horns
and hoofs, instead of sheets and pillow
cases. But it was not long until they found
themselves in the position of the old patri-
archs who entertained angels unawares.
Beneath these strange, unearthly habili
ments there were human hearts and warm
hands, and manly voices, and fair cheeks,
and woman's ripping laughter and spark
ling eyes; and the gay jest went round,
and the bright sally of wit, and jocund JOY
stood under the lamplight, and scattered
Itself around promiscuously, AID every
heart was happy and all went merry as a
marriage bell" Festivity and refresh
ments crowned most delightful evening,
and when all the gay revelry was ended, the
volunteer guests, rather unlike Longfel-
lows Arab, folded their sheets and pillow
cases around them, and noisily sped away.
But what about Warsaw and her cham
pions? Sure enough, we were forgetting
that This it is These people, twenty
five couples of them, came down from War
saw to surprise Mr. and Mrs. Thaycr, and
very successfully they did it. There were
Mr.. Thayers brother, and Dr. and Mrs.
Davenport, with whom we have had some
very pleasant acquaintance, and great
many others whom we do not know, but
who are certainly delightful people, beth
er they wear sheets and pillow cases or
dress like other people. They came on the
train disguised as we have stated, and Gre
ated great CONSERVATION or some other
emotion in the breasts of the denizens of
Plymouth, as they marched up through the
streets. taking at last the household whom
they visited completely by surprise.
But what good came of 1t at les.7
Said snarling Cynic then.
Why this, our doubling friend qaoth he,
1t was joyful company.

A NEW SONG.

1t isn't every one can be poet,
Any more than sheep can be goat;
But this one thing want to tell,
We keep cheap groceries here to SELL
Our stock consists of staple goods,
That suit the city, town woods;
Tobaccoes, fine cuts, shorts and plugs,
WashbOards, pals and churns and tubs.
We keep most anything you wish,
Flour, feed, and pork and fish;
Crockery, china, lamps, and glassware,
Which we sell and pack with care.
Now call in-giye us a trial,
And think you'll have to smile,
For it always seems so funny,
When man can save some money.
Now I'll tell you where we keep,
Where we sell the goods so cheap,
It's down upon the river bank,
Where the June bugs play their pranks-
Underneath the doctor shop
We would like to have you stop,
But our name seems rather long,
For it's spelled PERSHING & WILTFONG
