On Wednesday, the 3Dth of December, WUliiin mi Chris. Uaalanger and uther friends in thla city were shocked, to learn that Gotüeb Ha langer, a brother of the Hastangers here, h.id committed suicide. Gotlieb waa a batchelor, aged 49 years, who lived about 9 miles from this city with bis nephew, Mathiaa Herker, a fir mer in German township, in this oounty. Seme ten or twelve friends of the deceas ed went to the place where the body was ; found, and inquest held. The deceased was found suspended by a rope around his neck, in an old log shanty, in North township, ouly a fc.v feet fivm the German townsb:p Hue. When our informant arrive! at the place, the body had been taken down by ig Cororner. We learned that, when first discovered, the deceased was hanging by the neck, with a rone attached to a rafter of the shinty. There was considerable blood on his shirt front -hJ neck was cut on lk left side, as if wia a knite, through the wind-pipe. The gash was about four inches lou ; but a part of that uistance was a mere scratch. There were no sp- pearancos"of any bruise by the rope. His right hand was bloody and rested on a rtece of scantling, which was also bloody. There was a little blood on his lett hand A bloody pocket handkerchief was found In Iiis left coht pocket. Iiis eyes were open and had the appearance ot appealing fer help. He had on a pair of orerhalls over his pants, which had the appearance of hav - ing been drawn up .n his legs. Our in- formant thinks he was murdered tor his money. He w as known to have had some money; probably $130 with him, which cannot be found. He had recently sold his farm for $1.800; but how much! money he bad received on it, we could not learn. On his person was lounrt a i thing, no mauei oy wnat motive or m a pocket book containing $855, in notes, ' duceuient sent, met w ith the full appre and acme tax receipts, Search was made ciatiou of the needy recipients.

This forenoon Sheriff Turnock, by or der of Judge Stanfield, brought Hickman, Cihanski murderer, into the Court, to re ceive bis sentence. It was known to but very few that he was to be sentenced this morning, consequently the Court room was rather btre of spectators. Hickman preceded the Sheriff into the Court-room, walking with a quick elastic tread, and passing inside, the bar. took his seat on a chair at the corner of one of the tables. He was dressed the same as du ring the trial, his face was fresh shaved. I r his hair oiled and carelully combed.and he w looked as pert and nonchalant, as it' he had just got ready to " go to town." After the routine business of the Court had been exposed of, Judee Stanfield asked Hickman if he had anything to say. Hickman uncrossed his legs, stepped briitcly from his chair, and ejecting a OmoututUl oi tooutco juice uuu one oi toe spittoons, answered : " Nettling at all. It s all rtgdt."

Jan. 1st, 1875 Editor Republican: Christmas passed off very pleasant, in deed ; every thirg conspired to render it a joyous occasion, for those so inclined. A beautiful day, none better could be desir ed ; the sleighing excellent. It passed otl with all the usual observances, by the christian community ; business was gen erally suspended, and every body gave themselves up to pleasure, devotion and turkey. This is the first day of Hie new year, and gloomy it is, too ;not that the future is otherwise than bright und joyous, or the people happy J.ud satisfied, with the prom isee ot the new year; but gloomy jrom the indication' of an approaching storm, cheerlt-ss to those whose scanty supply ot fuel aui clothing, renders the otherwise "happ new year," the advent of wunt and distress; notwithstanding, let roe say. r you "a happy New Year." The beautiful weather we havo been blessed with for the past two months is without a parallel, in the history of this State. The lowest the thermometer has ranged, was six degrees below zero j then it remained so only a short time one morning. The light warm days have had a tceden cy to spoil the sleighing, and our only re gret is thst we cannot have just snow enough to permit us to realize some of the genuine pleasure of "superbly beauti ful winter weather." The manner in which our grasshopper sufferers have been cared for from abroad, j lays us under many obligations to the j generous donors wherever they exist, and , I seek this opportunity to join in Ute gen eral expression mi thanks, for the prompt j and amplu response to the call for aid. 1 In some instances the story ot the depn j vation has been exaggerated and many have ivtu freely and amply in cone quence.but to these we would say nothing has come amiss ; the buffering was great, 'and while it required a vast amount of needful supplies to alleviate the d'strcss, and prevent general alarm, yet every- I - a a 2 iuu ninnciuvin, mm . n.?vupwvn i the improvements of 1)74, and a sketch of the commercial growth and standing of the citv.

SPLjsL. Indiana Legislature. The Legislature of this State meets at Indianapolis to-day. The number of ap plicants for office, by Democrats, is said to be unprecedented. We copy the following from the cor respondence of the Chicago Dally Tri bune. Indianapolis Ind., Jan. 5.- The mem bers of the Legislature have mostly ar rived, and the contest for the United States Senator is growing red-hot. The Democrats themselves are a little dubious of their control of the Legislature after ail. At least the Senate is an unknown quantity and speculation is drifting mostly in that direction. The Republicans are talking quietly of a hope of gauing control of the Senate, and possibly of defeating any pronounced Democrat for Senator. Be tween McDonald und Voorhees, the tide to-day has et in favor of the former. His tViends are very confident, claiming over forty votes sure for him. Forty will nominate. They are inclined to push the caucus, naming Monday of next week, or Tuesday night, at the fartheres-t. Voor hees would like it postponed till Thursday which indicates weakness. McDonrid has a stn ng organization here, and they are working shrewdly and unceasingly ! tor him. Ill-defined rumors ot mnney be ing used cropped out to day. The cau cuses for officers will be had to-morrow night." There trill be no-trooole. In the House. Turpie will be Speaker, and Holmes, of Jtck son. Clerk. What w ill be done with the Senate is the conun drum. There are not a few straggling with the belief that a third man will car ry he prize, for the fight between Vor jiess and McDonald ie a desperate one. LARGER EVER. New Goods! Rich! Rare!! Racy!!
