Marshall County Republican., 1876-05-18

and of other places in Northern In
diana, will assemble here to-day.
Object not made public.
Warm weather and refreshing
showers spread peaceful smiles over
the face of nature, and perfumes its
breath with thousand flowers. So
much for ethereal mildness.
MIR. A. C. Holtzendorff, formerly
of this city, but recently OF Bremen,
has returned to Plymouth. He will
open up tonsorial bureau in this
city and will advertise his where
abouts. He has registered for the
REPUBLICAN.
The local editor OF this paper and
family regret that they were unable
to attend the wedding OF their friend
Geo. H Service, of New Carlisle, and
Miss Mary Hews, which took place at
the residence OF Mr.. r. b. Hews, in
LaPorte, last evening. We have no
doubt there was a grand reception
and many congratulations from
friends.
But small portion OF last years
wheat crop, in this county, has been
sold. This is the reason given for
the scarcity of money. The price OF
grain is low, but the probability is
that it will be lower still. Cheap
transportation is now bringing wheat
from India to European markets, to
compete with this country. Wheat
has recently been brought from India
though the Suez canal, and sold at
prices lower than American wheat.
Geo. Won Hollen, city collector of
Chicago, is defaulter to that city to
an unknown amount, probably $780,
900, and has absconded. He was
elected to the office twice. as re-
form candidate, too pure to be the
nominee of a party. Chicago has
had about as much of that kind OF
timber in its important city offices as
it can afford. Gage, city treasurer,
who was a defaulter to the sum OF
nearly half a million. was OF the
same sort.
Citizens, business men and city
and county officers, to say nothing OF
candidates, should attend''the 4th OF
July meeting Saturday evening. Let
the people wake up to a realizing
sense of the fact, that We have a
| government that is now one hundred
years old, and it is worth rousing
celebration in Plymouth, on its one
hundredth birth day. We want a
celebration that everybody can take
part in
Mr.. Samuel Moore was pretty
severely cut and bruises about his
head and face, last Monday, by being
thrown from a wagon. He was stand
ing in his wagon and attempting to
draw a calf into it by ropes, when his
horse started and threw him violent
ly upon the ground, head-foremost
Better sell that horse before he
browns the old gentleman or dashes
his brains out. But one would not
think he was a dangerous horse from
his appearance.
Mr.. John Hoham. proprietor o1
the Centennial Opera House, informs
us that the large eagle, which is to
spread its wings over the center oi
the front OF his building, will be
placed in position this day, at one
| o'clock. A band has been engaged To
enliven the occasion with patriotic
music, and speeches will be delivered
by eloquent and distinguished gen
tlemen. Uncle John will deliver q
speech in German-if he can be pre-
vailed upon to dispense with hi
modesty for the occasion.
