INDIANA AsBURY UNIVERSITY, !
GREENCASTLE,O Oct. Is, 1880.
Dear Sir:-Please find enclosed 81. 80,
for which / desire that you send me
the Hartford HERALD for one year.
Hoosier Democracy is at present
somewhat dispirited, and / therefore
hope to get some invigorating news
from old "Kaintuck," where the prin-
ciples of Jefferson never wane, but al
ways come out of the contest bearing
the eagles of victory aloft, carrying joy
and hope to the lovers of freedom and
equal rights i'm all lands. But Indiana
is not lost, for certain, to the Demo-
cracy, and Hancock may yet increase
his large majority of the electoral votes
by fifteen from Indiana, and this prob
ability would be assured if Indiana was
only possessed of few more bold, in
telligent and aggressive papers like the
Hartford HERALD to stand forth as the
champions of freedom, the defenders
of right, the denunciatOrs of wrong.
hope, when you hear from me again,
il will be my privilege to speak of In
diana like Kentucky-again fixed on
the side of right. Success to the HER
AID. Yours truly,
III. A. LINDSEY.

AUTU Mn DAYS.

To-day, across her pensive face
Sad Nature draws vail of mist,
As IL Ia hide the pallid checks
And whitened lips that Death has kissed
ANA summer lies with folded hands;
Her happy, sunny tasks are done;
The paths she troi are sere and brown:
The leaves are dead, her fair hands hung.
The sun looks like II golden moon
His strength wanes with the waning year;
\ mourniul whisper I'm the air
Doth tell us of the dark days near.
Oh, snd,lcSt DAYS OF all the year!
You do beget thoughtful mood;
The leafiess trees, the barren fields,
Teach lessons easy understood.
But as gaze upon the scene,
Behold! the golden butterflies
Rise from the stubblc, bare and brown,
And seem to pierce the misty skies.
And 81 hope, when comes to us
The dreary autumn time of life
When from our souls the chains are loosed,
80 may we soar from toll ami strife.
When death doth kiss our pallid lips,
May we, cen like the butterflies,
Find wings on which to soar from earth,
Until, like them, we reach the skies.

The following lines were written by
John III. Thomas, of Grayson county,
KY, in memory of Miss Effie Thomas,
who died Sept. 9th, 1850, near the
bank of the Ohio river in Spencer cOun-
ty, Indiana:
BY the river side flower grew,
\ short time since was full i'm bloom,
IL is now cut down by an unseen hand,
And lies whitening in the tomb.
But mother, weepn not for your child,
Ii is only a debt We all must pay,
Her spirit is at home in glory's throne,
Though her body rests in the clay.
Grief and pain with her are DER,
She is n member of the Angels band
She Is with us on earth no more,
But dwells in yonder peaceful land
Sister, sigh not for the deceased;
Brother, weep not for her again;
But let's strive To meet her there,
ON heavens bright and glorious plain

The following Is what the Cincinnati
Trade List thinks Of those characters
who complain Of their county papers,
and, instead Of helping to support ID,
send on for large city paper, and thus
help to sustain them:
"A gentleman writes To US that his
county paper is 80 poor that he has stop
ped ID; therefore sends US three dollars
for the Trade List. We repeat that We
don't want subscribers ON these terms.
A mans county paper is worth the
world, or if il Is not ID Is his fault. IL
the county paper is properly eneour-
aged, ii may be relied upon for infor-
nation OF more value 10 the people i'm
whose interest il is issued, than can he
found in all the city papers i'm the
United States. No man can afford to
be without the paper that publishes the
official advertisements OF his county,
the public sales, markets, court news,
and other local intelligence IL the pa
per is poor the people are more at fault
than the publishers for not giving il
liberal patronage. However poor the
county paper may he, it is always
worth more than il costs to those in
terested in the affairs OF the county.

no ICE.
The lnfaTIbIs sISn Of the Hudson River
Ice Men.

The Hudson river ice men are in
despair at the prospect of no ice.
There is usually about one million
dollars spent in a good year in gather
ing the crop upon which many fam
lilies absolutely depend in the winter
season. The goosebone superstition
plays a part in the ice business and is
thus described:
The superstition of ice men is asso-
ciated With a wild goose's back. Like
all similar portents in other lines of
life the goose's back has no tangible
connection with the ice crop, unless,
perhaps, it is that coming cold weather
is thought to affect the goose's back
somewhat as present cold weather af-
fects the surface of water-that is,
hardens it, This, however, is the belief.
AS soon as a wild goose is killed, in
the early winter, and before it has
grown old, if possible tear the flesh
and skin from its back until the bone
is exposed clean of flesh. If the bone
is very thick and dark the ice crop
will be abundant. If it is very thin
and dark the ice cropwill be sufficient,
but if it is either thick or thin and
also white there will be no ice what
ever. 1t is related by the believers
that in 1870 of many wild geese that
were killed not one had a backbone.
And many years ago, when the city's
demand for ice had not reached over
a 100000 tons annually-it is now said
to be 100000 tons-there was a win
ter when all the backbones of the
geese were transparent. 1t is pointed
out that in that year the thermometer
never fell to 20 degrees below freezing
point. But the same v~agueness at
taches to the figures by which this
year could be identified as also applies
to the superstition which it is sought
to be proven thereby. This year re-
ports are that all wild geese killed
upon whose backbones Investigation
was made were found to doubly proph-
cy No ice"

young lady visiting friends in town.
Gossip became so busy that the rela-

She and Dupont left town together
and went to Quitman, where they reg
lstered as man and wife. He carried
her to a ball that night as his wife. A
rumor Of the true condition of affairs
was heard in town, and the young men
called on Dupont and demanded an
explanation. He said she was his
wife: The committee demanded that

signed his brothers name and soon
after left with the girl. 1t is rumored
that the father Of the girl is pursuing
them, greatly enraged, and that he has
out a warrant charging Dupont with
seduction. He is a young man from
the west, who came to Georgia a few
years ago, and by talent and energy
rose TO distinction. He is the mayor
