THE ltOADS?BITTER ; AND A CAT
STORY.
Middle St. Matthews, Fob. L881.
Julitor 'Time* :
It has boon quite u long time since
I have solicited spncj in your valu
able paper, or given you any dots
from M iddle St. Mat bows. This
time, I will not. eon fine myself to any
particular subject, but discuss sever
al. The first, and most important
to many others besides myself just
now. is the roads.
Our public highways should be
immediately looked after. The
County Commissionos I learn have
appointed Dr. A. M. Snider as Road
Ovc rseer, to supervise our section of
roa Is. Don't know whether the Dr.
has, or will accept the position. It
is one of honor alone, you know, Mr.
Editor, and folks don't banker alter
such now-a-days. I f Im hit* accepted,
your correspondent would like to call
his immediate attention to the mads
in ibis ((Joodbys) Township. We
can spare a couple of days better
now than later.
The fence law, I notice through
your columns, has again 1.n Agitat
ed, and hope this agitation will not
ct use until its adopt ion is completed :
and would suggest, that sonn- of our
leading men would do well to call
either a public meeting, or conven
tion, at Ornngeburg, to learn defi
nitely the views of the people. It* the
majority arc- in favor of fencing st<u k.
the most appropriate time for hold
ing an election to decide the matter
would be iu the summer. Cattle
could then be disposed of at better
prices, and would give all ample time
to prepare lor the change, which
should take effect, say on ami after
'anuary 1st KSNU.
The new liquor law is causing
some stir down this side. Wheu the
licenses to sell it e\pire. We hope Ho
sec its goo 1 effects. Saturday nights
down hero arc made hideous in cer
tain localities by drunken men, ca
rousing, cur.-ing, and liring oil' pis
tols, (carried concealed in violation
of law.) Til.'.sc '?ho; suppers." as
I-they are styled, are con lined exclu
sive'y to the coloiod pei p'.e?i evcr
thelcss, they are titizens, ad shame
be it said?some of their praying
church members are frequent visitors
at these nighl gttherings. Dame
rumor has found out that perhaps
this liquor law will be do Igcd in tlie
sale of bitters.
We hope Mr. Gorlach (who seems
to be trying to do his duty as 1". S
Revenue Inspector) will look after
this matter, and, if legal, examine,
s? me of these bitters' bottles and see
f be contents are n ?I **p tp-scull."
?'A word to the w ise is suflicieuL"
Now, Mr. Editor, I'll tell you a
cat story and close. Dr. Tanner,
(the fasting man) has been equalled
if not surpassed, by two cats in this
County. This is n ?glass-bottle alli
gator story, but the clean, square
truth. Two cats ( "valler" cats) were
accidentally, an 1 unintentionally
confined in an empty barrel and re
maiiied there without food, drink, or
even light, for the period of twenty
one days, ami when released could
walk, see, and eat. One of them was
even s* rong enough loclimb ,-i smooth
round pole a few days after its free
dorn, in an attempt to commit a theft.
If any one should doubl the above
statement, Mr. Editor, unquestion
able proof cau be furnished by,
Occasional.
The Senate Committee on Privi
leges and Elections propose to inves
t igate and set lie the question whether
or not Vice-President elect Chester
A. Arthur is a native of tin* United
States. Charges that Mr. Arthur
was born over the Canadian line
have been brought, to its attention,
and it will institute a thorough in

Indiana has a law to prevent wenk

'Don't cross a bridge until you |

So they wen foil worrying an ! worry -

proverb means ; hover waste I imc wor

'suppose it should lain to -morrow so
that I can't go.' or, 'what should 1 do

of t he party!' Half the time the
troubles we look for do not come, and,
as we have said, it is never worth
whi'e to worry about what may not

-fr.'Jfhcro is wild excitement in Rich
mond, Ind., over the publication of a
'Dead-beat directory;' which threat
eus to culminate in violence. It ap
pears that a few ofthe business men
collected the names of all persons in
(liecommunity who were reported as
having failed, neglected or refused to
pay bills they had contracted. The
j names Were published in a pamphlet,
I which was entitled the. 'Dead beat
Directory.1 The appearance of I c
pamphlet raised a perfect storn . as it
contain* ?1 nearly 51,000 names, among
which were those of some of the good
citizens, together with the names of
honored men who were in their
graves. An indignation meeting was
attcmh d by about 1,000 |> uplc, and
speeches den ninciug the action of
the business men were delivered by
leading men, among others the mayor
of the ciiy. The feeling runs so

It seems there has been a miseal

A PLACE'OF I.NTKKESr.
A gray-haired worthy diuifc was
sent for to pray with a sick member
of his congregation, a hi nil' old sea
captain, whose years of active service
had long sicco ceased. In the midst
oi* his devotions he prayed. 'Oh
L 'id. give to thy suffering servant a
new and regenerate heart.' hut here
he was suddenly interrupted by the
sufferer himself, whe exclaimed, '.No!
no! You have made a mistake; my
heart is all right: \ ou must pray to
the Lord to give me a new liver.' The
minister hesitated but one second.
Hastily reflecting upon the sterling
integrity of the singular but honest
character with w hich he had to deal,
lie sedately and devoutly made the
alterat ion as requested.
The hearty old captain was in no
woive condil ion than many of his fel
low men, for it is bill jiisi to suppose)
thai our hearts would he all ri dil
were we not made unhappy, morose,
und sultry by the condition of liver
and stomach.

contained a pictorial history of Tex

a shirt in his life, and he thought it
w as a banner for the temperance pro

thanks, in which he said lie would

Tust at. this].time the interesting
topic in Washington religious cir
cles is the progress of the movement
in favor of erecting a Disciple's
('hurch. This is the denomination
of which Presidentelect Garlieldisa
member, Iiev. c'rcd W. Power, pas
tor of the church in th t city, states
thai the movement is meeting with
unprecedented success, and iL now
looks as though the new edifice will
beyery imposing. Thus far $3,400
in cash has been subscribed, and
from $10.0(10 to $(?0,000 promised.
.Mr. Power states that unless the
fund exceeds the last named sum the
church will be erected on the side of
the present church edifice, lie says
Gen. Garficld has expressed a decid
ed preference for a plain and unpre
tentious building, but it is likely the
General's enthusiastic admirers will
disappoint his wishes in this respect.
There arc now subscription agents
in every State in the Union where
churches of the same denomination
are maintained.

DRY WEATHER.
A gentleman of this city w ho has
given the subject much thought and
made it a study for many years, says
the rainy season is over for the pre
sent, that the signs arc that there
will be a splendid time for the far
mers to prepare their lands for the
uext two months, and perhaps
longer. All new lands, heavy clay
soil and unbroken furrow lands
should be broken very soon, for there
i's danger of the earth becoming too
dry and hard to turn over to the best
advantage. Of course there will be
some rain, but the wet season has
passed.?All in )>?/ X c 'f.-.
