RIne Grass From Indiana.
From inc IndinnapoIis Journal }

From the Indianapolis Journal>
 q noticed by the papers that some- body in the south part of the state wants to know where blue grass first started" said Professor John Collett ex-state geologist "A great many people contend that it was first found in Kentucky, but this is not so. Blue grass is a native of the Wabash Val. ley, in Indiana. It was found by Will liam Henry Harrison's troops during that solemn march to Tippecanoe in 1911. Harrison gathered a small army at Ohio Falls and started north. At Vincennes the gallant heroes realized that they could not go two hundred miles up the Wabash without feed for their horses General Harrison had two cribs of corn at Terre Haute, and persuaded the men to go on. As they came on with hungry horses and scant feed, they found the ground covered with blue grass. Some places in the bottom it was growing three feet high, and such feed had never been heard of by the Kentucky soldiers. At State Line City more blue grass was found, and from there to Tippecanoe the whole line of march was covered with blue grass. The seed was carried back to Kentucky and sown there, but they could not make it thrive alone in the warm soil, and it had to be sown with oats and rye MT. Sandusky, the fath- CT of the present family of that name. told me in an early day that no blue grass grew in Kentucky until after it was imported from Indiana. Tom Downing, of Terre Haute, was an ar dent admirer of Henry Clay. and once went to visit him at his home near Ashland Ky. After seeing the fine farm well set in blue grass, Downing suggested that MT. Clay let him have some of the seed to take back to Indl- ana
 Tom, don't make fool of your self said Clay, the grandsire of Ken lucky blue grass is growing around your house and in the fence-corners of your fields. We got the seed from Terre Haute and the middle Wabash, and, after a hard struggle, got it to grow here in it's present luxurious ness {"

BIC FAIRFIELD DISCOVERY
VOLUME OF 1861 LOST IN BRITISH
 GENERAL TRTON'S DAY.

Contains Some of the Earliest Records oi the Town-When English Burned tile Place This Was Hidden-Remained in an Oak Chest for Over One Hundred Years N II. Edward Rowland of Fairfield, un- expectedly came across rare volume \ of the oldest Fairfield records while eX- amining an old chest in the Rowland homestead short time ago. The vol ume is dated in 1861, and contains the \ earliest records of the doings of the town, and church of Fairfield It is K written in ink on rough paper similar 6 to parchment This volume has not been seen before since the Revolution ary war, and was supposed to have been lost
 The only manner in which it was known to have existed at all was by references made to certain pages in the E old book by later volume which ap- pears to be partial copy and bears the date of 1730. The original volume contains a strict account of all the events of the time and in one place states a certain man shall have charge of the meeting house, and shall receive in payment the grass from a particular meadow In another part the public pound is spoken of as defective, and the following sentence occurs: Tt shall be lawful to impound creatures doing damage; in Mr. Colds yard, Jno. Burrs yard and Skidmore's hogpen that he hath on the town highway.
 When the British burned Fairfield on their march to Danbury Andrew Row land, the great grandfather of H. Ed ward Rowland, was judge of probate and town clerk. On the approach of the British he hastily collected all the town records, and other valuables, and placing them in an old oak chest, car slied it to the woods and buried it. # When the records were returned to the town house the first volume of Fair fields written records was left behind either through a mistake or intention ally for it's preservation, and has re mained hidden for over hundred years. The story goes that the valua- bles and records were carried to Round Hill and there concealed. There were many Hessian soldiers in the British army under the command of General Tryon and several of their skulls have been dug up at intervals.
 The skulls are easily recognized by physicians and scientific men, owing tc their peculiar formation. The brave Fairfielders must have stood between H the British invaders and their treasur- H ed records and fired upon them as they marched along, and this would account for the finding of the skulls scattered along their route Andrew Rowland died an incumbent of the town offices, and was succeeded by his son, Samuel Rowland, who perhaps never knew that the original volume of records was in existence and it might have laid hid den away another hundred years if H Edward Rowland, the representative ot the present generation of that family had not examined the curious old chest ] which had been slowed away in the ! garret of the old homestead so long a time.

VENEZUELAN COMMISSION.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-lhe present eN-
pectation is that the first meeting of the
Venezuelan boundary commission will be
held at the state department tomorrow.
All the members of the body, with the cN-
ception Of Commissioner White, have sig
nited their ability to be here by thai time.
The latter will not reach the city before
Tuesday and there is a possibility that the
first meeting may be deferred until that
day, though this is not likely. There are q
number of questions arising in connection
with the work of the body, such as the Sc
lection of quarters, etc. besides other pre-
liminary matters not affecting vitally the
questions at issue, that can be passed
upon by the majority of the commits
sioners.
The members have not yet received their
commissions, and hence it is not positively
known who will be the chairman, al.
though the presumption is that Justice
Brewer having been the first named will
have that honor. Justice Brewer has here
tofore met his fellow commissioners, and
he is anxious that the work which the
commission was appointed to perform be
commenced ut as early "a date Us practical
BILE.
What needs to be determined first by the
commission, the justice thinks, is a dis
tinct and definite understanding of just
what facts are desired, and the body can
then 90 ahead and prosecute its work in
telligcntly. lie realizes what an effect on
the public mind the conclusions reached
by the commissioners will have, what
their significance will be, and how they
must carry conviction, The investigation
must be "a thorough one or none at all.
