SELFISH LEGIsLAToRs-Some of our
legislators at Annapolis, we are sorry to oh
serve, are more bent upon effects for the
future than upon prompt, sensible and prac-
tical legislation. We modcstlv suggest
that it would be better for all such work
with utter indifference as to what NAV be
said OF their acts, provided they arc the re-
suit OF proper M tives. Men ought not to
think more of themselves or their own in
terests than of their duties. A representa-
tive position is one of local selfabneration
properly. The temper of legislators is not
what we would like to see.-Sno,c HN( NdD
Shield, dem.
Just remember that, gentlemen legislators
when the new county bill or any other
measure comes up. Stand up forthc rights
and requests of your constituency, no mat
ter how far they contravenc your indiyil
nal chances for preferment hereafter. The
people are watching you, and will take
care OF those who are not sold out to the
political interests of No. l.

The fine and large barn of Mr. n.
c. Burlingame, one and one half
miles from Plymouth On the LaPorte
road was burned on Wednesday. Mr..
Leroy Evans favors us with the fol-
lowing particulars:
The fire was first discovered to be
In long straw stack standing near
the large barn, and within five min
utes the barn was a mass of flames,
which soon communicated to another
barn standing short distance north.
As there was q great deal OF dry grass
and weeds near the barn the fire
caught in it and soon spread in every
direction, setting fire to fences, &C.,
and it was with the greatest difficulty
that a field Of corn belonging to Reed
and Rogers was saved at all but not
until there was quite number OF
bushels burned. As there was quite
q breeze at the time the burning
shingles were carried in every direc-
ton and In one instance a brand was
carried over 80 rods and taking fire.
The losses, as near as can be ascer-
tanned at this time are as follows:
H. c. Burlingame, barns, hay, grain,
sleighs, horse fork, etc., $4,000; s. E.
Jacox, who lives on the farm, hay.
reaper, wheat, grain drill, plows and
other farm implements, $55O.OO; d. d.
Rogers, farm implements, $45; Leroy
Evans, farming implements, etc.. $25,-

The JOIli0catiOn.

The Notification" meeting Of the
Democracy on Saturday evening last
was a decidedly chilly affair. The
evening was chilly and the spirits of
the Democrats present seemed to
partake OF the same feeling. Hand
bills had been extensively circulated
and the meeting had been widely ad-
vertised and yet the attendance was
beggarly indeed for a jollification.
Counting out the ladies and boys in
attendance and the number could not
have exceeded 200 The fact Is the
Democrats have no more reason for
jollifying than the Republicans and
the fact seems to have inst penetrated
the conscience OF the average Dem
'ocrat." Speeches were made by M.
A. o. Packard, G. II. Reeve and 9TH
ers. The tone OF the remarks were
much less Objectionable than during
the campaign, evidently with the OBJ
ject Of making the people believe
that everything will be all right and
safe in the hands or Samuel j. Tilden.

A Little Recreation.

On Tuesday last, as two thieves
that were followed here by deputy
sheriff Charlie Ketchum, OF Kosciusko
county, were boarding the west
bound train on which that officer had
just arrived, he met them on the
platform, recognized them and
remained on the train, intending as
soon as the train was in motion to
take them into custody, but they
recognized him also. and when the
train had gone but a short distance
they jumped of. Mr.. Ketchum fol-
lowed them, but being in bad health
the Jar Of jumping so injured him
that it set his lungs to bleeding and
disabled him from following them.
They left valise and small tin box
on the cars, and one threw away his
overcoat, after he jumped, in the
pocket of which was a ticket to DON
aldson. John Lowry and Dan Har-
ris went in search of them to Donald
son, but fai'ed to intercept them
and a vsgJr. loaded with stolen
goods, which she sheriff of Kosciusko
county bad telegraphed that he ex-
expected would meet them at that
point. The robbery they had CON-
mitted was that of a store in the
village Of Silver Lake, some ten
miles south Of Warsaw. They
stopped on Monday night at the Vim
hedge House in this place and regis
tered their names as Chamberlain and
Hill.

Nebraska as She Really Is.

Men who visit Nebraska from Illi-
nois and other states are astonished
at what they see as compared
with what they have heard. In this
year, 1876, Nebraska has an enor-
nous crop OF wheat, barley, oats and
rye, and not more than FIVE per cent.
OF the corn has been lost through the
~hoppers,r which pest the men of
science and those posted, say may
again visit the State.
The ridiculous and almost laugh
able stories that are being circulated
as to the bad condition of the State
are without foundation in fact, being
started by parties directly or indi-
rectly interested.
The best thing for the land-hunter
to do, is to refuse to listen to these
yarns" and examine Nebraska for
himself He will thus be convinced,
that with energy and little capital,
ne can do twice as we'll in farming
and stock-raising in Nebraska, as he
can anywhere east of it.

the population of America are found

riculture forms the basis of true

IT is in this very belt that the in
