Tue. advocacy of female 'Wﬁ'ﬂ&(: by Rev. Marine, in his oration at the Odd Fellows' celébration yesterday, was certainly out of place. Rev. Stewart committed the same folly in the evening. SR 5, o Tue title that has been given te the railroad running south from Goshen, is ‘White Pigeon, Goshen, Kosciusko and Peru Rail Road, which is enough to give it the name of * Alphabet Railroad.”— W.P,G,K.&P.R R!

"Ex6EL & Co,, of Kendallville, are in receipt of a fine assortment of cloths, cas simeres, vestings, etc., which they are now prepared to make up in the latest styles. An advertisement, setting forth the variety of the goods, will appear in the next isgue of this paper. L ; 3 -——-~~-.-<o&«~§-~-~-—

FRIENDS, row is the time to seeure new i subscribers. 'An exciting campaign is be- | fore us, and the circulating ot democratic papers will have more effect in turning ' radicals from their evil ways, than the distributing of tons of campaign documents on the eve of election. We mean to make our paper second to no county paper in *the State. | b

MEDpIcAL—~We take pleasure in csiling the attention of our readers to the professional card of Dr. Preston, a gentleman who recently located in our town,— 'The Doctor, since his residence in our midst, has made a very favorable impression, and being & young man of undoubted intelligence, descrves the favorable consideration of those who believe in ho-. ic treatment.

NEW PosTAGk STaMPs.—The new pastage stamps have made their appearance in the large cities, and have been received at this‘place only on letters. They are ‘pronounced ‘decided improvements on the 'old ones. An erroneous idea prevails that changing the stamps is done at great expenge 'to the Government, as under the terms of the contract, the bank note companies 'are required to change the plates until the Department is suited. ,

. In renewing his subscription to the BANKER, E. C. Roberts, of Orange twp., remarked : “I want to renew in good season, for the boys as well as myself can’t do without it for a single week.” Uncle Charley Monroe says he desires to be considered “a subscriber for life.” Expressions of a like import were made by others who paid iheir subscription during the past week. The BANNER is & favorite among the people ; let its - circulation be largely extended. ;

MR. DAX't, KEREN, who resides 3 miles southwest of this place, informs us that a short time since he commenced digging & well ; and after having proceeded to the depth of twenty feet through a gravel 1y soil,fthe workmen struck upon astrata of hard blue clay soil ; he then procured an auger and bored twenty feet farther, when it struck upon some hard substance, and upon removing the instrument, chips of white oak, in an slmost perfect state of preservation, had filled the anfractuosities of the instrument. Is it posmsible that some subterranean conduit, through which & stream of water, flows, has been the means of conveying one of the mighty gisnts of the forest to thet locality?

! NOBLE CIRCUIT COURT. April Term, 1870, _Proceedings First s Week—-Bench and Bar. On Monday, the 18th inst., the Judicial machinery was properly greased and put into practical operation— his Honor, Judge Tousley, and a bran new suit of clothing, presiding. Promptly, when the court was ready, the sheriff called the court with a vengeance. Then came the Grand Jury, and took their seits in the | jary box, (we don't like to call twelve chairs, a dox, but then it's:legal, and “what's the hods”) twelve as fine, manly,. intelligent looking men as we ever saw on one jury, and were properly charged, instructed and sworn to inquire into_the criminal status (that’s legal again as well a 8 Latin) of the county ; to send for wisnesses, and if good cause exist, present indictments against any and all who may 1{ I have committed “Salts and Batory,” rob ; bed hen-roosts, sworn falsely, maintained l nuisances, (that’s a Dam) “trespassed on | thelaws,” or committed thunder generally. l' It may be proper to state right here that Henry C. Stanley, Esq.,—the only ! Democrat on the Grand J ury—was ap: : | pointed foreman by the court, an appoint ment which fit him well, and in which his Honor displayed remarkable foresight, sagacity and good breeding. The first ’ case upon the boards was a divorce, inwhich several of our fellow towns-people l were deeply interested and whose namcs ' I do not wish to expose, but leave that to | the softer sex, and the “smelling commit | tee.” Well, they are * dissolved, the holy ! l‘ bond of matrimony is “whacked” in twain, | both are now as free as the herds upon a | thousand hills, and can feed where they\ | please. They have leturred to a state of I single. blessedness and can now and forever—unless they are again indiscrect—expand their lungs with the soft, pure air | of freedom. Thanks toa wise and judicious faw. s : ‘ | The'next and last case for Monday was | |~ one of those uufortunate ones; which are‘g | the result of a love indulged “not wisely | . but too well.” The State on the relation ' of Pontius was plaintift and Owen, defendant, and when the court held up before ! the admiring gaze of the modest Owen a | little innocent bud of eight months or more, and demanded “guilty or not guilty,” the defendant shook in his boots and answered, “he is a little faithful copy of his sire 1n face and gesture,” ard, “I am Owen four hundred dollars,” for which the court gave judgment, and adjourned | until Tuesday morning at 8 o’clock. | On Tuesday morning business com- [ menced in earnest, The docket was called, rules to answer taken, motions made, demurrers filed, judgments rendered, mortgages foreclosed, &c., until the eatire list of cases was gone through with—ll 3 in ‘all. The court then backked up, and | switched off on the criminal track.— ! “Nunky Tunky” was entered by the Dep- | uty Prosecuting Attorney, John Stahl, i Esq., in a number of cases, and finally the | State vs. Frederick Forshy, on a charge i of grand larceny, was reached. Fred. stood up like a man—notwithstanding he was soon proven to be a thief—and in reply to the usual sepulchral interrogatory gaid, in a firm, clear voice, “not guilty.”— | A jury was waived, and the case tried by i the court. Several witnesses were intro- ! duced whose testimony was of such a con- | clusive character, that ‘not a reasonable doubt could, by the most vigorous stretch | of the inlagination, be entertained as to his guilt; and accordingly the court ordered that a position be applied for in the State Prison, where Fred. might learn a trade i in two years. { It always fills us with sadness, to see a l fellow creature consigned for years to the narrow limits and close confinement of the penitentiary. To rob a human being and especially an American citizen of that which is as dear to him as life—7kis yreedom—is an act which we deeply deplore, yet it becomes absolutely necessary, when | the rights of others are invaded, when their property is feloniously taken from them, that the law he enforced to its fullest extent. It was clearly shown upon the trial of Forshy that intemperance led to the ' theft, that his family suffered for the necessaries of life, to satiate the craying of a morbid appetite—a passion for ‘ strong drink. May it be an additional warning to the young, is our prayer. , It is impossible, im the short space allotted to us, to give a detailed account of all the proceedings of the court, during the first week of its session, while it is equally impossible for any one, save the clerk, to appreciate the amount of labor, patience and kerosena necessary to record the minutes of the second day. We will simply say that the life of a clerk during court is the life of a dog. That while the court, jury, members of the bar, and witnesses are cracking jokes in the court room and at the hotels, and, we may add ~with propriety, playing billiards and drinking beer at the saloons—for sach | things do abound in Albicn—the poor “clerk, worn out, tired and disgusted, by reason of the thousand different kinds of ousiness he has been compelled to transact during the day—is sweating over the loss of papers from the files, necessary to an entry, and when all others are sweetly ‘ folded in the loving embrace of Morpheus, he, miserable, i consuming midnight oil, t ‘entering judgments; foreclosures, decrees, - motious, &c. I Should any one who reads these lines, 'be 80 hard-hearted as to doubt the truth of what we have written in regard to the clerk, let him but stand in his shoes and Bit in bis chair for one week, do all the work the clerk is obliged to do in daytime, and write from 80 to 90 pages in, those large oider books, from Tuesday evening to Saturday morning, and if he lis not completely disgusted, “pegged” and scattered by that-time, we will set up the glasses and furnish sugar. : Permit us here to intorm our readers that during last wegk over 80 pages of record was spoiled, and fully $25,000.00 in judgments rendered. - 7‘ __But one jury trial was had up to Fri: day morning, that being in the case of Ringle vs. Roberts, names almost a 8 famihar to the legal ear of Noble county as Popejoy vs. Rodgers. Many cases of considerable interest, and great magni- -. Ml!lfm the number of papers o file—are on docket. On Friday ajary was impanneled in the case of the First f ' o Bty Fongl M. Bowen, o 1, being 4 proceding o

| plaintiff's claim. Prickett, Wood, of Go ! shen, and Ellisor, of LaGrange, appeared land fought for the Bank, while Judges Worden and Morris, of Fort, Wayne, and Cliapin, of Kendallville, appeared and resisted for the defendants. Up to our de pariure on Satarday, no result had been ’ reached, but the fight was waxing warmer, fiercer and hotter. Some of the hest l¢gal i talent, as well as experience in Northern | Indiana, is employed on both sides, and the case is proving to be one of the most vigorous and ably contested cases on rec/ord m the county, ' Vi f " 'We will venture the assertion that more legal talent was represented at Albion last week than was ever before assembled in Noble county at one time. Among those present from adjoining counties ~were Judges Worden and Morris, W. H. Coombs, L. M. Ninde, of Fort Wayne; Wm. A. Woods, John H. Baker, Col. R. M. Johnson, and Laporte Heefner, Goshen; ~James J Best, R. W. Mcßride, Waterloo City; T.Y. Dickinson, Auburn: Andy Ellison, J. B. Wade, ~LaGrange, while Ligonier and Kendallville, with the aid of & powerful emetic, sent up to the capital their entire legal scurvy. TON.. - The case of the Kendallville National Bank vs. Bowen has been compromised. * The Continental Construction case of Weston vs! Mitchell, Chapin, et al,, has been continued. ! T

S e e e ——— e ! odd Fellow's Celebration. . The Independent Order of Odd Feltows of Northern Indiana yesterday celebrated, at Ligonier, the 51st anniversary of their order in the United States. Large ‘delégations arrived ‘during the day from ‘Bryan, Butler, Kendallville, Goshen, Elkbart and LaGrange, and were eccorted from the trains by lﬂxcelsiq{“Lodge: to gether with all who had pieviously arrived. At precisely 215 o'clock the grand procession was formed in front of Mier's Hall, on Cavin street, and took up the line of march as laid down in the pro-gramme-—beaded by ‘Grand Marshal Bra den, on a white charger, and the Kendallville Band. - Fully 300 Odd Fellows were' present and took p:irt in the very imposing and impressive exercises of the day. ‘Looking upon the procession with an impartial eye, we must frahkly confess thut it was one of the finest- eivie processions ever witnegsed in this locality: j : The order of exercises at the Hall were very interesting. The large Ilall was filled with an immense and attentive au dience, which seemed to enjoy, in an eminent degree, the excellent oration of Rev. A. Merine of Warsaw.. In the evening, a social was held at Mier's Hall, when speeches, snort and pithy, were delivered by Revs. Munn and Stewart, and Mr. Kimball, of Kendallville, after which the vast concourse of young and old, ladies and gentlemen, joined in a general prom enade, and partook freely of the superb delicacies furnished expressly tor the o¢-ca-ion by Mr. E. D. Miller, fahs o]

- The entire progranyue was a complete success—harmony and good feeling scemed to fill every bosom and mark every exercise. No disturbances of any kind oc curred to mar the oceasion. | The members who were pl'esentA(u)n- -’ ducted themselves in a way calculated to | impress outsiders favorably, and fill them - with confidence and respect for the grand ‘moral and charitable principles which are the foundation of their order,

Want of time and space forbid us giving a more extended notice of the proceedings of the day ; yet we can say with entire candor, if what we have heard yes}erddy be Odd Fellowship, give us more of i ; ' - Let the principles of friendship, love ‘and truth, virtue, morality, and charity, be extended in whatever way, and our land will be prosperous, ‘our people hap Py, and the times redecmed. - ~ e WE hope our friends in the Tenth Distriet, and especially in Noble county, will ‘make an exertion mvi?hcreasc the circulation of the BANNER. If one half the exertion was used_in hehalf of our paper that is made to get up clubs for foreign papers, our subscription list ‘would soon be increased to double its present numbper, and we would be enabled, by an increased patronage, to publish a paper that will reflect credit upon the people of the county and make it a more welcome famly visitor. Owing to other duties, we are imablg to visit the various parts of the county in person, and are compelled to ask the assistance of the friends of the paper in extending its circulation. There is not a post-office in the county bat where our list coutd be doubled, and even trebled by a little exertion. Examine this number, ard if you think it worth the money, subscribe for it at once. : S S e

AMONG those who favored us with a visit in our sanctum yesterday, we remember the following: Robert N. Patterson, editor Bryan Democrat ; C. H. Chas_e} of the Elkhart Revicio, Gen. Milo 8. Has. call, Billy Beane, Wim. M. Starr, Joe. A.Blaine, Ira W, Nash, Mrs. J. H. Defrees, Mrs. J. 1. Baker, and Mrs. J. W. Free man, of Goshen; Julius Th. Engler, of the Herold der Wahrheit; Dr. Ward and Mr. Floyd, of Wawaka ; J. D. Ward, of Corunna ;J. J. Lash and Dr. N. Teal, of Kendallvilie. Each and every one of the entire party appeared bright and genial, and were as welcome to us as a streak of spring sunshine. s

Ox Saturday and Sunday, we enjoyed a very pleasant visit to- that ancient village which bears the name of Avilla,— Quite a number of labsrers being employed on the new railroad in that neighborhood, every kind of business appears to be very lively. Baum, Walter & Co. continue to sell immense quantities of. mer: chandise, the grist-mill is kept in constant operation, and other branches of industry give evidence bf being in a prosperous condition. “ Flute playing” is said to constitute one of the principal amusements in that provincial territory. L [ | ‘Boors & Swoms.—Straus & Meagher have ‘introduced a new feature in this trade, which their customers will appre. ciate. They aré now receivinga full line. of men's French calf sewed boots, nen's and boys’ kip boots, ladies’ and misses’ French calf, goat and cloth shoes, of superior_qnéﬂity, made to order, seamed and pegged by band, and every pair warranted, Persons who have examined these goods say they will never buy the inferior, ma-chine-made work usually sold by dealers, : ~ BPRING styles of Hats, Caps and Necktleont = © .

In consequence of thé “ burry and bustle of life,” I have failed in noting the pleasant oceurrences by the wayside, here of late ; and having stored them away in memory, I proceed to note them down accordingly. ..~ .= o Having taken up my abode 11 the capital. for a considerable length of time, I, ot course, shall notice something pertaining thereto. The streets of our quiet me tropolis are, at present, presenting quite a business-like appearance, in consequence of the “courting ™ with which we are favored, and the lords of the law step about complacently, or stand in fraternal knots on the Street corners engaged - in lively conversation. = : ! e

_ This beautiful %illage is generially one of quiet; yet, notwithstanding there are those wliose business appears to be to get up an _’({xcitcm?nt, even if at the expense of some innocent individual, and therefore they do not scruple to ;nmnufu(:iu're something out of “clean cloth ” for the bencfitof sundry persons. While speaking an this topic I have only to add, that I would thank () Mr. -, who bas made himself conspicuots in circulating a report in honer (?) o 7 a certain correspondent of the BANNER, in regard to the sending of yarjous articles to the l{‘en{lallville Standard, and the refusal of the same by the editor of that paper. Such an asser‘tion is nothing more or less than a haage, palpable falsehood; entirely without foun‘dation, uniess it be n desire to create a :‘E’sensation, which will px':.nve' ns nseless as ‘the aathor of it. : ; a

The select’ school just opened ‘by onr worthy Principal, H. Bortner, promises to be a complete success, nnder his control; Truly we cannot help but see that success and prosperity are natives of our schoolroom, with such an obliging, able and considerate teacher. : : ' By way of vzfriation, I would say to the public, that the dry goods hne is kept pretty straighbin Albion, by the enterprising and accomodating merchants, Clapp & Phillips on one, and (% Black & Son on, the other corner of our main streets, while Prentiss, Trump & Co. vie with their neighborsin the profit and loss mystery. b Pl : g

! Parties are on the decline somewhat, far we've only had one since our advent: in the midst of the lively community.— | The reason for the quietness of the times we attribute to the absence of several of Eo-ur city belles, who are ]engaged in their \. respective districts as country teachers.— - We are sorry to part with them, but yet we have our lively friends, Miss 'Wilda Havey angd Miss Frances Tougley, to gladden our leisure moment not oceupied with books. : ! : Our f.at_in ‘class is a suceess, if you will please except your humble servant, who can’t be quite as Romanish as the rest ' e e e . : L For the National Banuner. ) Sugar Cane. S While the great staple of our latitude (wheat) is declining in price, would it not | be well for our farmers to turn their attention to the subject of raisimg sugar : : , 4 | cane” Large sums of money are annually sent out of the country fm'.sznutheljni sugars- and syrups, which might be retained in circulation at home, it we conldl manufacture our awn sweets. This we | mp do, and szcure & good article, by us ing Wm. Clough’s process for refining; and at the same time make it a far more remunerative crop than wheat or corn,-< Just ook at it. Land that will produce twenty bushels of wheat per acre, at $l.OO per bushel, or fifty bushels of corn, at 50 cents per bushel, should yield 150 gallons of syrup worth, if refined, $l.OO per gallon. = lixcept the first hoving, cane is as easily raised as corn, Itshould be plante¢d shallow, on mellow seil. A good practice is*to moisten the scea-a very little before planting, and mix flour so that it ¢an be seen while planting. The best sympi is mace from cane not fully ripe. 7 From numerous testimonials I copy the following : L ! - g ¢ I hav: now used your process for threei years, and unhesitatingly say that itisall and mare than you claim for it.” I have made syrup that T can sell for ‘51.25 per gallon, while crude syrap made from :the same kind of cane, will only sell for 75 cents; . VALENTINE HAMMAN. Millwood, Ind.’ pie o i

- The process of refining is simple, labor not materially (if atall) increased, and the cost of refining materials from two to five cents per gallon. The undersigned will cheerfu espond to any further inquiries on the su'j_'e"et of Clough’s process. - T.
