Christiana. All of these got
married and had families of
children ranging from three to thirteen
Tho youngest. Zacbariah, had the latter num-
Der, but Rebecca, who had only ten, has now
the greatest number of descendants, esti-
mated to exceed 400. Z4charish's descend
ants number $50. Christopher Smith, who
settled in New York state, left nearly 300
descendants, among whom was General
Isaiah Smith, who had command of the
militia Of the western division of New Jrk,
and took prominent part in the war OF
1872, and was spoken of for governor of he
state. All Of the children of John Schmidt,
with the exception of Christopher and Mary,
remained in New Jersey, and the aggregate
of the recognized descendants to-day is 2,342.
A majority of these follow the calling of
the original founder Of the family-thst of
farmer. Some of them are ministers
of the gospel, merchants, lawyers, physi-
clans and mechanics, and all Of than have
the reputation of being good and industrious
citizens. In fact, there is no record of any
one of the New jersey Smith family ever
having been convicted Of crime. They con-
,ributed considerable of their number to the
war for the union. 1t WAS Zacharah Smith
who settled 10 Pespsck where tie family re-
union is annually celebrated. About the
year l8' 0 he built himself alog cabin right
10 the woods. At that time there was not an
acre Of cleared land one mile east of Pea
pack, and there WAS no farmhouse within
miles of him. Land was then worth
eight dollars an acre that cannot now
be purchased for less than 500. The mem.
bers of the Smith family are chiefly inter.
married with families of the names of Cole,
Manning, Sheats, Croft, Denott, Garrabrant,
Pickle and Angleman. The Oldest member
of the Smith family living is Arintha BELLS,
of New Brunswick, New Jersey. She is
ninety'four years old, and grand daughter of
the original John Schmidt Under the same
roof with her are representatives of five gener-
atoms. AT the present moment two children
of the seventh generation are growing up.
The old man, John Schmidt, brought with |
him to America a fair share of money, and |
bought from the English government 800
acres of land in Huntington coulty, at So an

Ting there was to be near the girl Chrs.iana
Hassel, who had captured his heart, and
whom he was determined to marry.

The indianapolis Journal and Chicago
Tribune announce that Indiana, by hel
district Conventions, indicated that ii
would go to the National Convention
with It's 80 votes solid for Blaine.
They call attention to one important
fact in that connection, namely, tina,
this action will be the result OF a sponia'
eous, free expression. "The absence Of
all machine influencesp they say, "oI
packing processes was, very notable in
Indiana when compared with the proceed.
ings OF the New York and Pennsylvania
conventions run by Conkling and Cam
eron. There was no attempt 10 stiiie the
preference OF any part OF the Republican
voters. There were no instructions, ex.
Cept in one district, and no resolutions
calculated to create dissension In the par.
". The Blaine men were nominally in
the majority everywhere, but they took
no advantage OF their preponderating
strength to crush out the minority"
Therefore, they continue: "The pop
ular sentiment Of Indiana is entitled to
the most respectful consideration in the
Republican Convention. Indiana is a
doubtful State as well as New York. 1t
is the one State-the only State-to which
the Republicans can turn In case the loss
OF New York be threatened. II the Re.
publican sentiment OF Indiana be averse to
the third-term movement, as the action
OF the district conventions certainly indi-
cate, then the National Convention can.
not commit itself to the third.term idea
without mourning the danger Of losing
votes enough TO make Democratic success
in that State certain" And the conclusion
is that there is strong faith in Indiana
that James G. Blaine can carry the State
next November.

Editors IntOllIgeneer.
Mr.. George Baxter, OF our county, has
on hands five clips Of wool. You may
think 1t strange that man would hold his
wool so long. I will tell you how 1t came
that he did SO. He said some years ago
that he would never sell bis wool again for
less than fifty cents, and you know wool
has not been that for years, but has been
a better price this winter and consequent
ly there has been quite competition
among buyers from different parts of the
country. Mr.. Baxter said some days ago
that he would sell about the 10Th or 10Th
OF this month, and for them all 70 send
in their bids. They did so, and Mr.. VIM.
Shay, OF this place, an old and extensive
wool buyer was the highest bidder. He
offered tiity.three cents, and Mi. D. lei
him have 1t. In justice to Mr.. B. Twill
say that his wool is considered one OF the
best clips our county produces.
Circuit Court Is in session here this
week, and so far has done considerable
business. The Grand Jury did not find a

or three for several years. Judge Melyin,

day, pronounced this the banner county
OF the State for good behavior.
A strange incident occurred in our
court on Thursday that might not occur
again in any court for years. The Sheriff,
in making up jury had to pick up few
men from the audience, as the regular
panel was up stairs on another case. BE
picked father and son, and asked anoth'

replied he had son on that jury now,
and asked to be excused. They excused
him and the other father and son re-
