The speeches of the evening were well received from fust to last and in the ulaiii were well calculated to add not only zest to the occasion but to infuse new life and energy into the association for the ensuing year. .ludge Capron lead with a short chapter of Plymouth's history that was heard with much interest, lie called particular attention to the adversities with which this city lias had to struggle, to frequent disasters and set-backs which would have utterly discouraged a less deter mined people,and showed how the com munity had risen to every emergency and among other things had built and rebuilt the city and built it again follow ing a number of disastrous tires. He recited how, after business had been prostrate for weeks by a small pox quarentiiie the merchants had rallied and set to work with determination to not only revive their business bu . to make it greater than before. John W. I'arks on "Plymouth, Present" marshall ed an array of facts regarding our building extensions, increasing commer cial importance and growing indus trial interests that cannot have been any thing less than surprising to the majority of those present and by inference showed that the average citizen is but slightly impress with the importance of some of our widely noted enterprises, such as the Novelty Work, the llieyclo Factory, llasket Factory, Pickle Factory and others. 1).

The death of .lames liurch, of West township, one of the early pioneers and oldest residents of Marshall county, died at his home Tuesday at V1:M) o'clock. If our information is correct, Mr. Hurch has exceeded by a quarter score years the allotted age of three score and ten. He was a hardy pioneer, a hard worker anil a man highly respected for his integrity and sterling manly qualities. His surviving family consists of wife; Frank, a married son; (leorge and two younger sons at home and two married daughters, of whom Mrs. J. (I. Leonard is one. The funeral was heli at the local hunkard church at 11 o'clock Friday morning. .lames liurch was a Union soldier in the late rebellion, lie joined the t'nion forces as a member of the IMh Indiana Volunteers. From this post ho was honorably discharged, after which he enlisted in the 12th Indiana Cavalry. When his army service was ended he returned to this county, where he has since lived the life of a peaceable, peace hiving and law-abiding citizen.

J ing upon the universal bases of humani ty see how in history God employed special agency to elevate and exalt my countrv-inen! Kngland and India be came thus connected by and ovei ruling providence. I am one of those who have profound respect for the doctrine of of (iod in his tory. As He takes care of individual, so does He take care of the interest of nation; and when in povenshed India, degraded spiritually and morally, look ed with tears, in her eyes towards the omnipotent Father, He out of the riches of His inexhaustiable mercy, came for ward relieved her, even as in times gone bv he had rescued other people. In the course of time England felt the respon sibility of her position as the rulers of India, became connected with her in the closest ties of political moral ami spiritual relitionship. A stream was opened which connected England and India intellectually, morally, socially, an;l religiously and all the refined liber al ideas of the West came through this great channel into India, it is beginning to work vvonderous changes. There are signs of new life an all sides in India, from the Himalayas to Cape Carmern you see a new nation rising up as it were, with new aspiration holier and loiter thoughts, persuits, and specula tions. When we came to receive English education in your schools and colleges, we learn to respect your Wash ington, Shakespear, Milton, Newton and now 1 may say that in some nieas ure, they have became our own. We sympathize with you, in all you intel lectual persuits and speculations, your religion, your philosophy and science are ours Thus we are one in thought. It is not merely the same government, that rules us. It is not merely the same generous hearted and the noble sov erign whose sway we all acknowledge, but we are at the same time one in heart and thought; religiously united. We are intellectually united. When 1 say long live American Christian nation. 1 feel that my words are revebreted through out the length and breadth of India, and that all my educated country, men, join with me in wishing prosperity and success; from which we have received so many rich blessings. Christianity has already achieved wonders in correcting prejudice and dispelling the ignorance of my country. Fngland's intellectual conquests in India are of a remarkable character, just as on a line morning the mists are gradually dispt lied by the rising sun so in India the mists of ignorance and pre judice are being scattered away by the dawning light of English khowledge and Christian religion. Western literi ture, and science. The work of mater ial prosperity has also vastly advanced. The railways and telegraphs. Those great pioneers of civilization, have al ready commenced their work, and are showering upon the people advantages and blessings of which they could form no idea, a century ago. On all sides the iiiexhaustable physical resources of the cjuntry are being developed and al though India is rich and has made many rich. There is a great future before her of vast material prosperity and ag grandizement, nor has India been in active in the matter of social reforma tion. Hut English education has al ready proved a tremendous power. The Hindoos who have received a liberal education find it impossible to retain Iiis allegiance to caste, ami although many, through fear of man, do not practically carry out their princi ples. Their convictions are deep. Their customs of premature mar riage and practice of polygamy had long been acting banefully in India; but the influence of Christian religion has tended to operate most powerfully. The grandest achievement ol all, how ever is the moral, and religions reform ation of the country. I was born a Brahmin, by brith, and in my early days, I though and felt and lived as a llrahmin going through all the rights and ceremonies ot idolatry. 1 never embraced ilrahminism from hon est and deliberate conviction, but lived as a llrahmin priest, because my par ents did so ami my ancestors from generation to generation had done so far in many agos. In course of time my native education upset my faith and niide me feel that idolatry was a false hood and abomination in the sight of good. It did not cost me much effort to renounce the errors and prejudices, in which my fore fathers indulged, for as I grew in Oriental literature and philosphy. 1 felt 1 was intellectually and morally constrained to set my face against idolatry and its concomitant errors. I speak to you throgh these lines as a converted Erahmin. 1 believe you expect from me a few words on this subject in its bearings on my country, India. I therefore feel justified in writ ing, but this is not my only justiticat ion, my nationality oilers a more cogent pleai which I may use in self defence. I be long to the Aryan race, a race remark able for absteminousness and well known in the world as a simple, quiet, peace, loving people, who are not addicted to strong intoxicating liquors. I come from India a land which is inhabitated by the mighty Hindoos, who love peace, who have an innate aversion and repugnance to war and hostility. 1 may therefore say I was bom a lover of peace. I am happy to say in peace and the conversion of the heait. The lirst lesson God taught me was that it was His will that 1 should pray, when no book brought me any comfort and no man rendered me any assistance whatever (Iod in the mysterious ways of Previdence pointed out to me the indispensable necessity of cultiuating a habit of daily prayer; preserved in that (iodly habit and" with in a few months found that there was strength in my heart and abounding joy, and wisdom and purity. Under the guidance of the spirit of Christ I came into contact with many books which were very profitable and inter esting to me, and among these was the Christianj'Scripture. 1 began to pray with more earnestness and sincerity. 1 felt with David in the spirit of his Psalm, and responded the exortation of Christ, and 1 entered into communion with Paul. Thus I went on for many months, growing in grace, in faith and in purity. Let us consider who is it l have professed the name of the Hindoo lteformer? Why is it that though 1 do not take the name, "Christian"? Hut I still persevere in offering my hearty thanksgiving to .lesus Christ. Ah! 1 r.iust thank Hrahmmism for that. I was taught that the Lord of the I5rahmins drank up the whole of the Pacific and Atlantic, and the whole of the Northern seas, and credulous as 1 was. This was to much for my credu lity.

There is a judge in Madison county named Ellison, who has waded into tlie whitecap element at Scattertield, until at the present time two of the would-be law operators are doing time in Michi gan City. There are also four or five indictments hanging over the heads of the remaining four who were implicated in this contemptible business. It finally became so warm for them that the prosecuting attorney, who it appears was in syinpathey with them, refused to prosecute the case.s Tlie judge without any ado disposed of him and appointed another prosecutor, who is now pushing the work. i
