Tur_Jewish New Year was appropriately celebrated in thie place. : e ) @ e Fon the first time since our residence Jin_ this Btate, have we been “touched” by the ague. Its effects are more easily imagined than described. 1 xS . e o TrANKS.—Our thanks are due Mrs. E. McDonel for a quantity of excellent pears, and Mrs. John Bquires for 8 basket of icrab apples. . - x ; ity B Piscsiimtne StiLL IN DeEMAND.—The choice Groceries ‘always kept on hand by Wm. Crow, at Kendallville.! He is doing an immense business, which is accounted for Ly the fact that he advertises, sells at low. figures, and treats his customers gen-. erously and Jairly.

8. Mier & Co, have just received an entirely new, stock of general Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Olothing, Hats and Caps, ~ Boots and Shoes, Queensware, &c., which they. ﬁ\ve resolved to sell at lower rates than any other house in the country. e b — From AviLua—A corfespondent informs us that, t,ré engineers of the Grand Rapids Road dre at present laying out work, and that grading will commence in a few days.—The new grist mill was set in motion last week, and is now in full opémtion. oo . : 5 Mot W vyt dienpars : J'%oticenble change has crept over the countenance of our esteemed townsman, E. B. Gerber. 'He carries liis head con~siderably higher than on ordinary occasions. Cause—the arrival of an exceedingly young:Tlady at his residence.— Weight not ascertained. ' * TaE Tailoring Department of 8. Mier ?& Co. has been replenjshed with the latest styles of Cassimeres, also, with Black Cloths ‘and Doesk:ns of the best manufactures, as well as Beavers and Chinchillns. They are now better prepgred than ever, to please all who want a good suit gf clothes.or an over-coat. i

By:reference to our Traveler’s Directory . it will be seen that there has been a change of time in the running trains of the L. 8. and M. 8. R. R. 'All trains now run on Cleveland time, which is abont twenty minutes faster than Chicago time. The chanige in the arrival and departure. of traing from this station is only slight, and will be scarcely noticeable.

County FAIR.—Let éverybody remember that the Noble County Fair comes off on the 6th, 7th, and Bth of October next. The General Superintendent—a live farmcr—is engaged in putting the track, halls, stalls, sheds, &c., in “apple pie” order for evﬁi:y body and every thing.

The rcvival at Richmond has been in progress for about six| months, and .is one of the most remarkable on record. About nine hundred have been added to the various churches. Bometimes as many as Aifteen prayer meetings in private houses "have been simultanegpesly held in differ, ent parts of the city, Religion is ‘the theme of conversation in every circle, and among all classes. | : :

. WE would say to the ladies before purchasing their Dress Gopds to examine the stock of 8, Mier & Co, who have just received, without any exaggeration, the largest and choicest stock of Dress Goods ever brought to Ligonier. They "are determined to please in quality and style, as well as in price. ‘Give them a call. £ isl el rcriotagy GorNa Sourm.—We regret to learn ‘that our esteémed friend, John Ralston, Esq.,, of Auburn, has determined upon rémoving to Mississippi, next’ month—--John is a noble, ‘'whole-souled gentleman, -and a staunch Democrat, whom we can illy afford to lose from our midst. We 'trust, however, that he will find Mississipipi fully up to his expectations, and soon rrealize a neat little fortune. InrorMATION WANTED—In regard to the projected sale of the present “poor farm” and the purchase of a new and larger one'in its stead. A large portion of the tax-payers are disposed to look upon this matter with considerable suspicion—believing the contemplated change to be impracticable and unnecessary. A due regvlprd for the wishes of the people should, therefore, prompt the commissioners to publish a statement explanato--1y of their proposed action. -

Mr. StßAus, in his letter to Steph. Lockhart, says the people of Germany place Gen. Grant “beside Bismarck.” If the comparison is intended to place our model President upon terms of equality with the Prussian Minister so far as devotion to monarchal ideas is concerned, we admit its correctness; but if an'equal'ity of brains is to be understood thereby, - we believe our cousing across the water _to be a great deal “greener” than we had any iden of =~ !

%L‘ ‘%ﬁ:? g::4& "’ ﬁ m. 3 - The Noble County Teachers’ Institute coven 25 Al lopdgy A, 38, ami ntinued it gp ﬂﬁf y evening. The attendance was unustally during the term. T . The corps of teachers from our own county, were: Prof. J. M. P. Bachelder and lady, Jas. Colegrove, Mrs. F. G Bosworth, Miss L. Daniels, of Kendallville ; Jas. A. ‘Ryland, G. W. Kling, of Mt. Pleasant ; T. M. Eells, M. C. Skinner, Nelson Prentiss, of Albion. Besides ‘these, two accomplished teachers from abroad: Rev.J. B. Harrison, of Bloom‘ington, 111., and Miss L. E. Reynolds, of Flint, Mich., were present, .. . e The evening lectures delivered by Revs. Sink, and Smith, and Dr. Leonard, were highly interesting and instructive. 1 The ease with which the teachers and lecturers handled their subjects proved “beyond a doubt, that . ‘’Tis not in things, o’er thought to domineer.” I would like to send you a list of the names of all the teachers present, the re--port of the . committees resolutions and toasts, but you would not have room' to print so much ; summing them -all up, however, in‘one short sentence, which will express the sentiment of every teacher present, I will say : The Institute was a complete success. The gentlemanly courtesy of the President, the earnestness of the instructors, and the kindness and hospitality of the citizens of Albion, with | the stirring music of the ‘Albion Band and the sweet s(mgs by Miss Ellie Tousley, and others, all contributed to accomplish this success. Thefollowing lines to the Teachers’ Institute, by Albion’s poetess, Miss M. Lavering, aptly describes the mission of the teachers, and the Institute : _ ; Where noble thought and culture meet, Andbappy hearts the past réview, There thoughtful minds our interests greet, ~ And pledge their aid to us anew. Co-worgera in a cause we love, S 0 QOur tasks are hard, but do we tire ? Ah, no! with promptings from above, ' We work for what we most admire. ‘ Science, that rough and rngge}l steep, With willing hearts we dauntless climb, And rich rewards of pleasure reap, el While bright the lamp of knowledge shines. A nation’s progress for us waits; . 5 Yes, for our influence true and pure. Who wears the fairest wreath of ,g)tate? 'Tis he who honors lit’rature. Th’ iamortal mind is ours 16 train; We shape our nation’s destiny ; Then blest are we whose names enrolled | Reveal a wealth of liberty. o Oh, is there not a light, sublime i Mantling our efforts as we pause | Toveonder o’er the coming fime, | * When all shall love this noble cause ? | : , T.

Hendallville Correspondence. KENDALLVILLE, Sept. 6tk, '69. Mr. EprTor :—ln my last I promised to give youan account of the different styles and ways of the actors and actresses of our Thespian Troupe: Charles D. Kimball, as Henry Hammer in the Golden Farmer, done very well, and received considerable applause besides ‘several boquets each evening. John Chamberlain, as the Golden Farmer, done excellent, but looked rather fatigued ‘the first night. however, John makes a good actor, and deserves considerable credit. Jim Macy is known tog well to give him any praise, as he is an excellent comedian and would do well provided he had . better support. Albert Ringle, as an Amateur, does well and acts with considerable coolness.— Wm. Forsby also does well, and with practice would do still better.. Wm, Kellogg, as Old Mol, took: the charactem to perfection. Monroe Palmiter, as Com., mander in the Pearl of Savoy, did very well—nothing unnatural for him;, as a man with a big head always makes a‘ good actor. He also received several bo- 1 quets, among them a Savoy 'Cabbage',—l which created considerable laughter ‘among the. audience. To the ladies are due a great deal of credit, more especially to Mrs. Kimball, who done exceedingly well, but would do better were she to speak a little louder; also to Miss Ringle, who makes s very neat appearance on the stage, but is rather too wild. Miss Graden needs considerable practise, but, I must say for the.short time she has ‘ had to prepare in, done exceedingly well, Miss Arnold makes a very pretty ac tress and looks well on the stage, but, like the. balance, needs practise: - The troupe, I understand, intend visiting Ligonier during the fair, and deserve to be well patronized, as home talent always should be. There is some prospect of a velocipede race in our city; mext week, and I will give an account of it as soon at it transpires. Businessnot very brisk to-day, as the houses of Jacobs & Kel. ler, and Engel & Co,, are closed on account of holidays. : You shall’hear from me regularly each week, so for the present I am truly yours, ; H.

, BTOPPING A NEWSPAPER.—An exchange has the following allegory, which we commend to careful consideration: ¢A certain man hit his toe against a pebble and fell headlong to the ground. He was vexed, ‘and under. the influence of snger and self-sufficiency he kicked old mother earth right saucily. ‘Withimperturbable gravity he looked to see the earth itself dissolve and come to naught. But the earth remained, and ‘ only his poor foot was injured in the encounter. This is the way of man. An article in & newspaper touches him in & weak spot; W yrthwith he sends to stop his paper. vg'reut complacency he looks to see the crash, when he finds he only hit his own toe against a world that does not perceptibly feel the shock, and injures no one but himself.” =~ -

Tur Indianapolis Sentinel is responsible for the following rich joke told on a railroad conductor who resides in that city. In: his absence his wife presented him ‘with a fine boy. Some of his wife’s friends, who are of a waggish turn of mind, suggested that they borrow two or three babies in the neighborhood, and present the | three youngsters to the happy father on his return. The plan was carried out, and upon the arrival of the train in the evening, the young husband, who had heard that all ‘was well, harried home. After fondly kissing his wife, he asked to see the little stramger. Imagine his’surprise -on beholding three babjes when the coverthem iu profound sstonishment for seversl e S .

m , from Germany. - o Fmgﬁ,m Aug. Bth, '69. My Dear Bm:—Your esteemed favor is at hand, and I felt glad to know that ‘the MM& in your vicinity is ‘good, and. that peace and harmony prevails. That I had a safe and -pleasant journey across the ocean, you have doubtlessly been made aware of by my former letters. We age all very well, and I was pleased“to n& by your letter of the good result of the crops, especially wheat.

* I bave been traveling in northern: and southern Germany, the latter part of which I consider by considerable the best ; as far as I have seen the prospect for crops here is very good, and in many parts already safe. I have been given to understand that the quantity of wheat is in proportion larger than the qudit,y‘? good.. We have had considerable rain here also, continuing until the middle of July. . The barley and oats crop is good in every respect. ; ;ﬁt" e You ask me if I bave taken off my hat for a German officer, you may be sure that 1 have not. 1 can only say that America stands in the front rank of nations, in the estimation of the people here. In my travels I bave _hardfy met a single person who has not some relative in the United States, and thousands are leaving weekly,: and thousands, and even millions, are only waiting for means. to be sent them from their friends in America, to leave here. They look at it ds the promised land, and say that America is the only fit ‘place to livein. One thing in particular I noticed injtraveling, and that is the great desire that everybody has to converse, | and seek- information concerning “the land of my adoption.” * Asa general rule they have full confidence 'in our present administration, and Gen. Grant

is placed beside of Bismark ; they think him the exact man to settle all difficalties. I also find that the common class of people—such as farmers and mechanics—invest their spare means in U. 8. Bonds, they holding as many in propor tion, as are held in our country by the same class of people, and they hold them with such confidence, as not to be willing to sell them even at par, and I can’t see but that they are right on that question, as they cannot realize such interést on any other class of paper, assure as ours. I have had several good offers to establish myself in business| here, but hardly any offer could induce me to stay ; Lowever, there are some mice localities and good towns, but there is more life and go:aliead i-tiveness in one of our small ‘towns of three or four thousand inhabitants, than here in one of twenty-five thousand. The farmers here require more help to farm 25 acres than we do in Indiana to farm 100. The sum and substance of the matter is that'a person after living in the United States as long as I have, considers ‘Germany #oo slow, and, as a proof of the same, will inform yot that I have engaged passage on the steamer Dentschland, which “sails from Bremen, on Sept. 25th, for myself and family, and hope ere long to breath once ‘more the éiﬁlhmting air of Lh s
