A Merited Trib ME to Faithful Minister.

st. Johns Rectory, Hayre dc Grace, was the
scene, on last Thursday, of very happy gather.
ing. That day was the tenth anniversary OF the
wedding day of the Rector, the Rev. DR.. Martin.
About O'clock, p. NJ, very much to the sur
prise # the DR.. and Mrs. Martin, few friends
arrived, each with gift and hearty congratula.
tons. These were followed in q shorttime by
crowds of others, until standing room was hard
to find and like the pioneers on this very pleas
ant occasion, each brought basket or pack
age which soon filled large sized extension din
ing-room table with such articles as 1t would
hold, while the space below and around was
crowded with large baskets full of good things,
and hams and bags of flour. Conspicuous
among the various gift were many ar>fc11c1 of
bright new tin warc and it was at once sem
that this was not only donation i'd surprisG
party, but substantial and well-o dered Tin
Wedding, given by a kind, generous, and faithful
people to their Rector and his wife, whose ap-
probation and thanks words were powNrless to
express. delightful evening was spent, in
conversation, and vocal and instrumental music,
and il was after IL o'clock before all had said
good night, and departed with their empty
baskets. An examination of the bundles brought
to light groceries and provisions of all kinds,
many articles of wear and the toilet, brooms,
hams fancy articles and the already mentioned
useful articles of tin ware.
Ithad been happy gathering; happy to those
who came with their gifts, and whose bright
faces and kind words proved that they felt the
truth of the Blessed Lords words, when He
said "It Is more blessed TO give than to re-

each very dear TO the other, and that the tie
which binds them together, is no ordinary one,
for it grows stronger every year.

A Card.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 22d, 1877

Unwilingly, but in justice to myself, In order
to contradict base fabrication, now make in
a brief manner the following statement in re-
ference to the affairs of the late firm of Carlisle
& Co.:
AS l learn it, the report is that 1 went away
'and had swndled my partner out of two thous-
and dollars. Here are the facts Almost from
the beginning the business did not pay, for four
reasons. The first was that it was bad year on
Fertilizer manufacturers generally, caused by
general shrinkage in values, and the very sudden
decline in Ground Bone; the second was because
did not take the proper interest in the business;
the third was because the capital invested was
entirely too small, and the partner who had cap
ital would not loan or assist, either with money
or stock to help it along, which accounted in
great measure for its non-success and my lack
of interest When the Mill was ready for oper.
alton there was only about five hundred dollars
on hand to buy stock and operate it; the fourth
reason is seen in the result of the enterprise,
growing out, asa natural consequence from the
third about which have nothing more to saw
When left and transferred the accounts to
Mr.. Reckord, the liabilities exceeded the assets
by from fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars,
which was composed of unpaid drafts, bills,
orders for Bone given in settlement, and money
due him by the firm and by myself. AS the bus.
mess was failure, and | had lost all had, which
was not much, could do nothing else than to
hand the bills to him for settlement, as / could
not do it and he could. But when SO doing
told him to charge them all to nre and that
would as fast rs possible, in installments, repay
him the amount, which propose TO do.
When arrived here had less than ten dollars
in my possession. leave for my frienus to
judge whether this is to be called case of
swindling or not. think this explanation suf-
ticient, and hope that will not again be COM
PEELED to take up the subject, which is very un.
pleasant indeed. G. A. CARLISLE

The effort of President Hayes and his sup
porters 10 create new departure in politics
by recognizing the Wing party, is not
meeting with very encouraging success.
In the South, where the strongest effort has
been made to call up the spirit of old line
Whiggery, the voice of the sorcerer falls idly
upon the wind and meets with no response,
The people of the South have accepted the
deliverance of South Carolina and Louisiana
from carpet-bag rule as simply their right
They feel kindly towards President Hayes
for the official act of justice he has perform
in their behalf, but they are not ready, on that
account to turn their backs upon the Dem
ocratic party, and join hands with those who,
until very recently, were their Interest per-
secutors
North or South the Democrats can have no
reason to desert their party for any other
They have steadily and unflinchingly asserted
their principles, chief among which is the
right of local selfgovernment, and upon
their principles and the pledges of reform
and retrenchment they elected Gov Tiden
by large majority, Although INSCRIPTIONS
men wrested the victory from them, the
usurping President has felt compelled to
recognize the doctrines for which the Dem
ocrats commended.
The only party which can he disintegrated
by the new departure is the Republican party.
1t has accomplished its mission. Slavery is
abolished, and the war ended when the
United States troops evacuated the State
House at New Orleans, leaving government
chosen by the people in possession. Many
of its members are therefore ready, perhaps,
to seek political resting-place in another
party. Among them are some who were
originally Democrats, but who separat-
ed from their party on the question of
slavery and the war These are just as likely
TO reunite themselves now with the Demo-
cratic party as with a new, mongrel organi-
cation, founded upon no principle, but rest
ing solely upon the traditions and prcjudices
of the defunct Wing party. Notwithstand-
ing the sentimental tears shed from time to
tim over the grave of this respectable old
party, there are few, we believe, either in the
Republican or Democratic ranks, who would
accord it as much respect if it were re-
stored TO life, as they now pay to it in its
honored grave.
Hayes's Wing party would doubtless
gather into its folds all the political adven-
turers and chronic oflicc-seekers in the
country, but being founded upon no funda-
mental idea except that of opposition to the
Democracy, it can never become one of the
great parties of this country. The attempt
to resurrect the old-line Wing party, and
galvanize it into life by the application of
federal offices to its members, can only
cause spasmodic CONFUSION, but when the
application ceases the subject will still be as
dead as Julius Caesar.

ROBBERY AND ARsoN-On Friday night
Of last week the store house of William Har.
ward, near Fountain Green, was broken
open, robbed and set on fire in several places
A portion OF the building is occupied by Mr..
John Forwood and his family. Just before
day break, Saturday morning, Mrs. Bull, an
old lady who slept in room over the store,
was awakened by smoke, and gave the alarm.
The fire was extinguished, and upon examin-
alton it was discovered that the miscreants
had kindIed the fire, and piled upon it
number of shoes, &c, which burnt slowly,
preventing the fire from spreading rapidly.
A small amount of change, which had been
left in the money drawer, was carried off,
together with tobacco, shoes, and probably
other articles, 1t is supposed the fire had
been smouldering for some time befo; c it was
discovered, as some of the shoes were burnt
to crisp, and the shelving was destroyed
Mr.. Harvard has an insurance of five hun
dred dollars upon his stock in the Hartford
company, but not being able to specify what
articles were destroyed by fire, he cannot re-
cover the full amount Of his loss. No clue
has been found TO the perpetrators Of this
wicked act, which might have resulted in loss
of life, but for its timely discovery.
