Haynes was subjected to a thorough test the other evening, by the editor and the interesting little “flock” that is legally entitled to his support. We, as foreman of the jury, unhesitatingly pass judgment, and pronounce the “icy substance” as being rich and delicious, and respectfully suggest that our readers give it a trial.

ONE of the members of the firm of Straus & Meagher will depart for New York inafew days for the purpose of purchasing -an immense stock of goods, ample/to supply the wants of our farming community when the new wheat is heing brought to market. Due notice of the arrival of the goods will be given through the columns ‘of the BANNER.

Orricers ELecTeED.—The stock-hold-ers of 'the Grand Rapids Railroad have re-elected the Hon. J. K. Edgerton to-the Presidency of said company, J. M. Godown ns Treasurer, and S, Hanna as Secretary. Gen. Cass announces that he will inspect the road in course of a few days and push «the work to an early completion | alg il .

Tue first load of new wheat was i« hmdgﬁt to’ this market yesterday by our venerable fellow ‘citizen, Mr. Jonathan Simmons—Messrs, Straus & Medgher being the purchasers. A sample of the above wheat was left at our office, and judging from the large, solid kernels, the frequent heavy rains did not injure it in the. least. The yield on Mr. Simmons’ farm is about 25 bushels to the acre. ‘ i 7 sSI o el e ¢ Exvareen,—The Waterloo City Adr Line, published by J. F.

“ArtER HARVEST,”—We have about 900 subseribers who have not yet paid their subscriptions'to the BANNER, but of whom a large number have given assurances that they would pay us “after harvest.” Inasmuch as all the readers of the BANNER are presumed to be truthful and honest men, we expect - quite a lively time during the next few weeks in gathering our harvest..

ImpRrOVEMENT.—The enterprising firm of Straus & Meaghet! have just crected a newly contrived heating apparatus wherewith to “warm up” their large store-room next winter. That inventive genius; Mr. ~'W. Culveyhouse, originated the plan, anda trial has established its entire practicability. The heater is constructed upon &’ very:simplebasis, and isapparently vastly superiot to high-priced" appirafuses.—-’ We understand that quite.a number of our citizens intend to supply their residences with similar “inatig'utiéns’,’ during the coming fMlle s ¢ o YEN ‘Laree quantities of “benzine” were consumsd last “Baturday - by gome’ of ourindustrious “hatvesters” who cafié 6 town for a little recreation, .

Nothing” mote dire or dreadful could haye happened to our community.: The fear{ul upheavings of the earthquake, the terror of the tormado, W;N'P‘T*“K ravages of the electric cm'%, arc but shad-. ows compared with the n ystﬁ departure of this bigh-toned and intellectual crgan. Durip‘g its existence it caused the rapid culture of the youthful mind, expanded the ideas 8f the maiden and taught her the price of virtue and the ways thereof, eulogized the living and immortalized the dead ; indeed was the senior editor so immeasely interested with the “departed” that-he paid semi-weekly visits to the ity of the ﬂeﬁd,’lp?@ﬂg" {ie by a_fair and suppliant female, t 6 n'g its ornamentation and consecrate its dead ; nay, more thau this, o bended knees feryently clnsgzd in each others arms, he simulates the consignment of tliec “body” to the “tomb,” and:fills the “sepulchre” .to. overﬂowtz)g, 'wl;ﬂé the -teaﬁ‘s of tenus’ fall like rain 1n commemormtion to the obsaqujes.; .:Sy g B siendi il ey "Not only will our town-people suffer from the “quietus” of this ongan, but also our eountry to-an area-of a few-‘square miles,” among whose gentry its cireulation extended; shey, voowome in for their share of the loss. - The editér in hig Tural meanderings was a close ipbservér, and gleaned from nature and nature’s works valuable information for the husbandmaif, which he gave'to Jxem uhstinted-in’ each weeks issye.” He spoke to them of | the “seed time and harvest,. instilled in- j to their minds that “wherein y& sow, there also shall ye reap,” taught them the prcper mode and time for the gath-. erii?g of small fruits (strawberries, &e.,) instructed them as to the hest fertilizers, and demonstrated their “enlarging influence.” Why this noble work of man is overthrown we can but conjecture. We have but one theory: tﬁjings terrestial must fade and pass away, so in the fulfillment of this unchangeabls law we find philosophy which may passibly account for the premature decling of this'noble’ ensign of knowledge, philanthropyiand virtue. i e

Ep. MEacuer furnishes' another eyidence of the pcwer of advertising. A" horse belonging to the firm of which Ed.; is a member, concluded to enjoy a little more freedom, and absconded to parts un- J known. After a diligent but unsuccessful search, Ed. penned an estray notice, and was about to hand it ‘Gver.to the. printer, when, to his utter astonishment, alad from a raral district imparted the pleasing information that, tlie horse had: come to- light: - ~This- little 'idcig:!}ﬁt is’ equaled only by a‘é:‘ircuu#tance that occurred about a year 4go, and ‘which isas: follows: Every few ""wee&s, John Taine's cow would go astray, roaming abou ‘the woods for a week or longer.

i, B e ‘Part of the wheat in this section of the Stato is aafely in the shock, and if praperIy attended to may be secured beyon peradyenture. A drive through the un-| surpassed farming lands of this section “will sérve to convinee the “traveler of the almost unparalleled munificence of the ‘hand of Providence. in dispensing- hi bountiful blessings in the way ::ge » orops to the farming community. —The broad fields of wheat stretch out theis ‘golden expanse. almost as far as the eye can reach, and are thickly stadded with heavy shocks that stand as rich monuments to the hand of indnstry. By what we hayé'seen and can glesn from 8 Jarge ‘number of exchanges from w: of ‘the country, we are led to eoncly de that never in the history of this country -has the farmer had better prospects of.crops. l Thickly interspersed between the yellow fields of rye and whest which now tempt-| ingly await the sickle or the threshing machine, may be seen the graceful headed oats' bending "beneath the grains which hang in trembling pendants, or the rich luxuriant corn with its spedr-shaped blades and n}xusicml‘ rustle. / }Thon\g}x‘; fgeggeg?}ﬁ in a somewhat damaged coddition, “the large numbers of stacks of hay attests the ,‘ abundance_ of this valmable srop. . The “frosts of spring left no traces oigie'ii biting touch‘upon the fruit, and thus early ; in the season the trees are bending beneath itheir. half glown 10ads of fredsure.
