Wy Crow, of Kén’diﬂlvit , has all kinds of salt fish. for-harvest’ purposes, packed in all yarietios of was to- siiit cntoimer - e W sit | Prouorion.—Mr, A. P. Frink, for years comnected with the R. R. Depot at this place, has' been promoted to the agency of the M. 8. & N.I: R. R. Company at Archibald, Ohio. We congratulate, Gus. ’ B ; s bst R s FestivAL.—There will be a strawberry festival at the Town-Hall on the-eveny ing of July Ist, the procceds tg, be for the benefit of the Presbyterian ?%Jurcb. Let everybody come and bring their friends along. o '

r e s - Trosk of our subscribers Who receive their papers at Avilla and Swan Post Offices will find a statement of their accounts ‘with tbis office at the store of Messrs. Baun(,' Walters & Co, who are duly authorized to collect the same. .3t el R RS QurßrY.—Suppose .-a patent - should require an hour's labor of a boy in which he would have to pit forth the same ex: crtion and strength expended in running a velocipede the same length of time—wouldn't he cousider himself a very badly used and overworked boy ? {niy ; el 4 b : New Scnoor House.—We learn that a new and capacious school house -is shortly to be erected near the Catholic Church at Avilla. - The sdtool is to be placed under the superintetidence of the “Bisters of Charity,” and will be supplied with teachers competent to impart instruction in the higher bratiches. N s i Tar SiaNs or .THE TIMES:~—A young lady of this place who ranks herself with the elite, while calling at, the house of a lady friend on Cavin street the other day was seen to throw out signals to two strange gnntlemen’ passifig along upon the sidewalk. Such conduet is certainly very unbecoming to any lady, but, we presume this is the “fashioh” East. e b ; .OUR republican friendB would do us a special favor by giving the article headed “Negro barbarism and its power at the capital of the United States,” which may. be found on the first page of to-days papery anattentive perusal. It is a very interesting and instructive expose of the character of the motley crowd that has, by the votes of such men as congressman| Billy: Williams, obtained possession of the municipal government of Washington. !

[t i Tue Ciry Drue STorE—C, Eldred, proprietor—is constantly supplied, in addition to all kinds of drugs and medicines, with & large stock: of oils; paints, pure liquors, groceries, &e. -By fair dealing and strict attention to business, Mr. .Eldred has establised an_extensive trade, and as he sells at the: very lowest. figures, the people will fird it to their advantuge’ to “call in” and examind'goods and™rices. : | ) Sl O e f ProarEssiNG.—+ The. building ot the Grand Rapids Railroad is making admir- l able progress. A dispatch conveys the chéering intelligence that on the 17th inst. was laid the liist rail on the line of 20 miles north of Grand Rapids—the contractor.finishing the work 10 days before the time :des‘_igﬁntéd_. The land grant is now sccured, and we may soon expect work to commcncc)'“between Kendallville and Fort Wayne. d ‘ o —— . ' ALMOST BUT-NOT QUITE.—We are in-* formed that at the witching hour'of eleven, the other night; & certain patent-right ‘ dealer from Lagradge, in company with a young girl of thé same place, called at 1 a relative of her’s ont the Haw Patch, and tried to play 'maftied, but after being closely questione_tiz the young lady acknowledged that stich was not the fact. We would advise .@his gay Lothario to be a little more caut,‘,bus hereafter, else he | might be treated fo a coat of tar and feathers, - . ; — e - Tue Carmori¢ Pic-Nic at Drakels Grove, in Allen fownship, on Wednes: day of last week, Was largely attended, and proved an entire success, at least so far as pecuniary géin is concerned. Two platforms had beefi erected for the benefit of those who oénke delight in tripping the fantastic toe——victuals were plentifully supplied, nné the subjects of King Gambrinus were not permitted to suffer, if provided with -ihe‘liecessary stamps Short addresses were ‘delivered by Rev. A. B. Oechtring .dﬂd,’ the editor of this paper. . ; ‘

" AN Ipea—lf ev/éry man who ‘is owing us on subscription Would but pay us fifty cents apiece on théir accounts, it would place us entirely beyond present necessity ; and if all would pay us a dollar . :apiece,- how much more it would assist us. * 8o let no-one think that either is oo , small an amount to pay at a time, and thus put it off until they can spare more. We will always be thankful. for small favorsand large ones in proportion. Give us fifty cents, ot a dollar, - then, an& pay. the balance “after brvest.,” We ¢lip ‘the above from a recent issue of the Goshen Demderat, and desire to impress the fact upon (;l;e minds of our read- - ers that there is a stfiking similarity betmwm'a%m and our own.

" A Flutter in the Loyal Family. An interesting trial was heard before Justice Beebe on Moniay last, wherein Wm. Hills was plaintiff and W. W Skillen defendant. The suit was instituted for the purpose of gaining possession of a building occupied by the latter as an office—Hills claiming that Skillen was his tenant, whilst the modern expounder of the law relating to the manufacturing business,. claithed the building s his own. The jury decided in favor of Skillen. . _ During the progress of the trial, Stéph Lockhart was, among others, brought to the stand as a witness for plaintiffies. Seareely hid his testinmiony been given, when Skillen conceived the brilliant idea of impeaching the veracity of the chief of the radical party of Perry and adjoining townships. Witnesses of the radical persuasion were at once subpeenaed, who swore that Steph co,ulddlot be believed under oath, and that his character was exceedingly bad. The opponents of Steph ~—men who haye fréquently suffered defeat in their political aspirations by his superior strategy—were in high glee ¢ver their temporary triumph, but it was not long before Steph appeared on the field of battle and bravely met his enemies. He called up; one after another, our: oldest and most respected citizens, who clicerfully bore testimony to his truthfulness as a witness, and his standing as a citizen. It was soon evident tliat Steph had won a decided and glorious -vigtory, and that Skillen & Co. were entirgly discomfitted.

Whilst we have no desire to interfere in this interesting little family quarrel, Wwe cannot refrain from. expressing our ‘surprise that.an’ individual having ino 'many valnerable points a 8 W. W. Skillen should undertake to fasten the charge of Iperjury and disreputable (character upon a fellow ‘'man who is in every respect—morally, religiously and| mentally—his superior, and to whose forbearance and generous nature he is indebted to the very position he now holds. | ik : “*Oh, how like a serpent’s! tooth it is To have a thankless child.” - ~ "Nothing could induce us to become the apologist for Steph’s manifold sins that he has committed in’ the service of his: party. We are well aware that there ‘ is nothing to which he would not resort to further his partisan ends, yet it is an ‘undeniable fact that—outside the cesspool of politics—he frequently exhibits traits ~of the gentleman, the obliging citizen, and the ULenefactor of his fellow man, -whilst on the other hand, his ‘malicious persecutor, W. ‘W. Skillen,” has never been known todisplay any of these ennobling qualities and gencrous impulses.

A MEeETING of landholiders of Benton, ‘Perry, Sparta and Turkey Creek town ships was held at the Town Hall on Saturday last, for the purpose of organizing a Ditching Association, .in . accordance with the provisions of the. new ditching law. Dr. Dumbam apdMr. Erwin, of Ohio, who are the owners of 900 acres of iswamp land' in Benton' township, were .also in attendancé, ' The object' of the Association is to-reclaim about 80 square ‘miles of swamip land, in the above named townships, now' useless, "{b,ut which, after being properly drained, " will ‘without deubt be classed among the choicest land of the country. The new ditching law will prove very beneficial 'to the- entire State, and it should be the object of all who desire the improvement of our agriicultural country, to;make. the contemplated Ditching ‘}Assdoiatiqny & .success, and; thereby secure the ‘benefits contemplated: by the new law. lAn -adjourned meeting will be held at the Town Hall; Ligonier, at. 2 o'cloek, and it is edrnestly hoped thut a large attendance will be had: |
