No paper will be sent from this office after the first day of January next that is not prepaid. - Bills will be ‘made out sgainst all who are in arrears, and if not paid at the “above stated time, their names will be erased from our list, and the amount ¢ollected according to law. We earnestly ¢call upon sall our readers to aid us in inaugurating the advance system—the only one upon which a paper can be suecessfully published.

He occasionally forgets to send us the correction. [ il @ P EvERY person interested in the subject of divorce, either pro or con, will not fail *to hear the discussion on that subject, on to morrow evening, at the Disciple church between Rev. G. W. Chapman, and Dr. P. W. Crum. E Y ' . . b e ———— BaTTLES.—Our town has been the scene of two battles during the past week ; one ~between two clerks, and one between a commercial traveler and a traveling companion. Corporation cash account debtor to cash from above, four dollars.

Tare Kendallville Standard is criticising the action of a tesnperance magazine published at that place for publishing notices of application for license. It is ~ probably obeying, in this one instance, the mandate to love its neighbor. el e Tug Mishawaka Epterprise, Huntington Herald, and Steuben Republican speak in ~ rather faviorable terms (though remarkably feeble) of the Standard’s proposition ‘to nominate Ede Fisher for State Audi- " tor. Col. Oakley is’much more emphatically endorsed. it el A G . THose of our Republican friends who feel confident of defeating Billy Williams’ ; fe-nomination, should bear in mind that they will have to contend against such +war horses as Tousley, Iddings, Moon, Dickinson, and others of the same stripe. Yfl"l‘here’s fun ahead, boys. : Trg “Thespian” literary society of Ken- * dallville, are preparing a series of enter- * tainments, for the evenings of ?e bolidays, which it would be well to have reproduced in cur town. We have a very good hall, and there is nothing to prevent an excellent troupe doing well here. ; — el - e | ", Tae Festivar for the benefit of our * .proposed Brass Buand, at the Town Hall © last evening, was largely attended, and passed off to the entire satistaction of all who participated. - Herberger’s Band furnished excellent ‘music. The gross re- © ceipts amounted to about one hundred dollars. o ’ : ‘

Trose who love to participate in the “giddy maze” éf the waliz, will ‘not fail to attend the party to be given at Mier's hall, on Christmas eve. The best of music will be in attendance. - Supper will be given at the Dodge House, instead of at the Helmer House, as heretofore announced. “On with the dance!"

Won'r it be a pleasing sight to witness Steph Lockhart and Squire Skillen working hand-in-hand for the re-nomination of Congressman Williams? It must be done, however. ' Upon the action’of the former depends the retention of his young Horace Greeley in the Treasury Department, and the latter must shout “hurrah for Billy” in order to save the Ass’t Assessorship from escaping his grasp. =

TARRED AKD FEATHERED.—An individual, whose name we were unable to learn, was tarred and feathered at South Milford, one day last week, for keeping a house of ill-fame. After he was released, he went to the residence of Rabert L. Curl, in the Hawpatch, where he was admitted and allowed to clean himself. He told Mr. Curl that he had had a fight with several men, who tarred and feathered him.

We take pleasure in announcing to our readers that the office of the Laporte Argus has recently been supplied with one of the unrivaled power presses manufactured by Mr. A.-Campbell, of New York, and of the same pattern of the one that we bave used for the past two years in printing the BANNER, The circulation of the Argus is steadily increasing, and is receiving the hearty support of ‘the Democracy of Laporte and adjoining counties. el A et Wz Oax'r Do ur.—Bome of our sub- . seribers intimate to us, as they are known to be prompt pay, that we continue. to send them the BANKER after the first day of January next, and the pext time they come to town they will call and pay.— Friends, this would simply defeat what we propose doing, and we can not do it. With no person save those with whom we have advertising accounts, can we ‘make arrangements to.send the paper without pay strictly in advance, and we tope that all will clearly understand this. We want to keep all of our present sub- * but all must come up to-the same standR SE % TRk BRA A ‘;E’lfi?fi W

- Communicated. | Necessary Evils. - - That such things really exist, we have only to look at some of the advantages and conveniences connected with the schools of this place, for proof of the fact ; for instance, what is more convenient than having a public hall immediately above ‘the principal school room, with nothing between floors to deader. sound; and on occasions of lectures, concerts, &c., &c., to have a set of graceless scalawags manifest their ingenuity in" taking particular pains to put their feet down solidly, to drop benches heavily; and to wind up gracefully in the way of purposely and persistently disturbing the schools, to give a very awkward exhbition of clog dance: ing on the hall floor during school hours, on purpose, as expressed by one of the shameless actors, to anncy the teachers. A town hall may be a very necessary and paying institution, and the upper story of a public sc¢hool building a very appropriate place to locate the same; and it may also be expedient, when any preparation for lectares, concerts, shows, and .all such adjuncts to the moral and intellectual well being of the community, to place 'the managing of the preparations ' in the hands of boys who either lack sense ’ enough to béhave deceatly, or are so devoid of manly principle as to disturb a whole school by an exhibition of conduct eminently ‘befitting accomplished blackguards and prospective boarders at State institutions. The spirit of enterprise ‘should be fostered, any laudable endeayor to add to the fund of public enjoyment and conduce to the pleasure of all, should be generously and liberally patronized.— There ‘is something said by somebody of the eternal fitness of all things; there 'may be a fitness in the abuse to which the hall subjects the schools; whether appropriate in fitness or not, it scems to be eternal. Maybe in the course of two or three ‘ generations, town halls, as auxiliaries to l the quiet and success of schools, will cease to be considered the right thing in the right place, if in the same buildicg.—. Maybeé some time before tht Millenium it -will be discovered that two or three days schooling of two hundred and fifty pupils is of as much consequence as 75 or 80 cents, obtained as rental of the hall; even when coupled with advantages obtained by looking at some one “making faces” grotesquely, or the edification imparted by listening to the most celebrated troupe of stars that ever visited the west.” Maybe some people will ascertain, also, that something else enters into the make of a man, than an ability to show - ene's self a proficient in all the mean, low-lifed rowdyism manifested by some of the precocious specimens that grace Ligonier, and-that the speediest way of attaining’ to notoriety is not always the best way.— Some of the pater-fannlias, too, might fina it profitable to instill a little wholesome discipline into the minds of those intrust, ed (?) to their care. It would do some of the juvenile prodigies of this place, good to find. out that they are not infallible, and an inkling of the fact that they are mortal would not be derogatory to the ‘tout ensemble’ of some wot of. K.

LovErs of “truth” will not forget the lecture to be given in the Town Hall, on Friday evening of this week. A sketch of his life will be given every person investing twenty-five cents in his immortal theory. This pamphlet, containing the life and doings of the “immortal J. N.,” has been laid upon our table. We could not iinagine that the subject of that work would descend to the level of trade, and sell his book for filtby lucre. We find we were right, for J. N. declares he does not sell his work, knowing that a Philosopher cannot be mercenary. Hismodus operandi is thus: “Favor me with a quarter, and I will give yon this sketch as security, and will freely refund the same to any one who may stand in want of it after the truth has triumphed over error” It was written by his brother, Major J. W. Free, of New Lexington, 0., but the thorough student can'easily detect here and there the cosmopolitan and towering superiority of J. N.’s philosophy in his interview with Davis and in his sayings and speeches.’ i :

FlrsT NATIONAL BANK OF (GOSHEN.— There came a report to our town from the city of Goshen, on Wednesday morniug last, that the above named institution had failed, and that its President, Mr. M. Mercer, was financially ruined. This was an exaggerated account of the banks’ changing hands, and of heavy losses having been sustained by Mr. Mercer in mining and other stocks. The principal part of the stock of the bank is now in thg hands of Messrs. Defrees, Thomas<and Hitcheock, and this alone will ensure the good repute of the bank. It is thought that Mr. Mercer's assets will exceed his liabilities by a considerable amount.

Kendallville Correspondemee.; . l - g;“nmx,i‘mm, Dec. 20, 1869. - MR Eprrox :(—How provoking it is to write two or three sheets of fools cap for ‘a newspaper, when local items are as scarce as greenbacks, and after having tried to hook up items out of the ink stand for a full hour, and then to find when the paper is issued that they have been cut down two or three items; but then I suppose that newspaper publishers know best what is matter of general interest, and certainly have the reserved right to réject what is objectionable, pro. viding they do not, by doing so, make correspondents ‘say what they did not write. There is some comfort in know ing that I am not an exception to the general rule, so I will not complain this once and _endcaivor hereafter to send you only such items as are not oo local, and “rite only onto Svyon side of a manuskript and not mutch onto that! .

_ Democrats here regard the President’s Message as a state paper which sanctions all the lawlessness and theft that has been going on in'cvery department of the national government, and another link in the chain of despotism. ' The principal business in this city, for thie last two weeks, has been in the pork, beef, and clothing departments: - Jacobs & Keller %are the principal dealers in dressed pork, Waltman, Reynolds & Co. in live hogs and beef, and Engel n the clothing department. Rev. J. N Barnett, of White Pigeon, Mich., was in our city last Wednesday.— He is one of the finest pulpit orators in the country. It is expected that the “burnt district” will all be rebuilt during the coming summer. : ;

Pur Tais AND THAT ToGETHER.—We clip the tollowing paragraphs from the two Kendallyille papers, respectively : The Standard is probably the first paper in the District to publish the message, which was received in the Toledo Blade yesterday morning, and our boys had it all set last evening. It was either very imperfectly and hunglinsiy transmitted, or badly set by the Blade—some of the sentences being evidently “jumbled.”— Standard. . ; . That's so, Mr. Editor, the Standard and the Journal together set up the measage in double quick time.
