ATS W R Laree Tomarors.—The largest toma. toes we have seen this season, were left in our office by Mrs. Joel Maggart. Some of them measured fully twelve inches in circumference, and were of a most delicious flavor. « VO et e I'ni principal objection which Andy ‘Ellison offers in his “manifesto” against .the action of the Kendallville convention is, that the Democracy of Elkhart andNoble countics may succeed in electing ‘their local tigkets, Such a “calamity” woild greatly annoy the old fellow.

PrxnsioNs.—The pension law passed near the close of the last session makes sundry-changes. Hereafter paymerts are to be made quarterly, the agents forward‘ing blank vouchers to each person on the rolls by mail, and on the receipt of these vouchers in proper form returning a check by mail payable to the order of the claimant. . Pension agents.are allowed thirty cents for making out each voucher, which the government has to pay, and no agent can collect ‘any fee whatever of any pensioner for his services. YT T e e 5 . ‘W= notice 88 a singular result of the ' passage of the Fifteenth Amendment that frequent desertions from the Radical party are recorded, the deserters assigning as a resson that negro suffrage was more than: - they bargained for. - On the other hand . we have not yet heard of a single Democrat who has gone over to the Radical - party for the purpose of having an oppor- _ tanity. of voting the same ticket as the * negro. The Democracy has 50 better clectionéering document than_the Fif. teenth Amendment. It is the-last straw placed uipon the Radical camel's back.

| NEwsPAPER CHANGE. — The material and good will of %g Kendallville Journal has been transferred by Dr. Teal to C. ©. Myers, of the Standard of that city. The two offices will be consolidated this week, the publication of the Journal discontinued, and the Standard sent to the subscribers in lieu of the former, The consolidation was effected at the instance of the republican politicians, who have become convicned that the publication of two party organs was not only a needless expense, but a positive’ injury to their organization. - Noble county has now only two papers, representing the views of the two political parties, and thore than that we never should have had. Inasmuch as the BANNER and the Standard now have tht% field to themselves, we deem this an cpportune moment to express the hope that the relations between the two papers may ch of a friendly character—that personalities will be altogether diecarded, and sll controversies confined to the discussion of legitimate subjccts.— If the editor of the Standard will give his assent to this proposition, and main tain the same in good faith, we bhave every reason to believe that thereby the interests cf journalism will be largely promoted, and the reading public highly gratified. e i : !

ON last Saturday afternoon, the outkitchen v_am:ncheﬁ;j to the residence of Mr. J. M. Chupman caught fire and, with its contents, came near being entirely consumed. A stove-pip(} protruded through the root without the necessary protection, and the shingles ensiljy ignited from the heated pipe. ' The lady members of the household were alone at the time, and of course were somewhat astonished when & neigh--bor’s child called at the door and informed them, with a formal bow and an “cxcuse me,” that their house was on fire. Instead of giving the alarm, the ladies immediately procecded to cast on water, and before any assistance arrived the flames had been entirely subdued. All praise is duc the ladies for the heroic manner in which they battled the fiery element.— After the fire had been extinguished, a small boy called at the store and inquired for Mr. Chapman.' On being asked what was wm’nlcd,‘théjoung man very coolly replied : % Ob, nothing ; but Mister Chapman’s honse is on fire.” As ‘might be expected, some haste 'was made in reaching the house, but 61}nly to find the flames subdued. This is reported as the coolest fire of the season. : b i

"AxpyY ErrnisoN devotes & column of his paper to the abuse of Gen. Slack, Capt. Mitehell,) Van Long, the editor of this paper, and others, for refusing to be bullied iuto his selfish schemes. Something over two columns are next devoted to the annihilation of the humble ‘individual who presides over the columns of the Baxner. His epistolary efforts prove beyond a doubt that in addition to his lamentable misfortunes as a politician, he is making rapid strides towards’insanity. Dafiled in all his échemes, we fear he will ere long become a raving lunatic. | Under these circamstances we would deem it both * crucl and unjust to reply at length to the nonsensical grash' of the decrepit bush--‘whacker, [Efesides this, we find it inconsistent with our duties to waste valuable time on an individual who is most aptly described as the “deadest man alive.” In the impending contest against mdicalism,‘ no attention can be bestowed upon the “enemy in the rear.,” If Mr. Ellison choses to farnish the radieals “aid and comfort,” he must do that on his own responsibility. Time will make all things even. ; G P Heavy WugaT.—Christ. Conrad, the prince of farmers on Elkhart Prairie, south of Goshen, gives a gonod report of his wheat crop this year to the Zimes.— ITe harvested in all 875 acres; and threshed about 7,600 bushels of grain, an average thrpughtl)ut\r)t twenty bushels to:the acre. Buat there should be taken into account the fact that there were one hundred acres of a new kind of wheat which he tried, that was an entire failure, being destroyed by the fly, etc., so that nearly the whole yield was from about 275 acres, or about 2514 bushels per acre. -Of the ‘whole acreage there were 88-acres that yielded ‘1,220 bushels—over 32 Lushels per acre—and 65 acres that yielded 2,056 bushels—nearly 82 bushels per acre. Had the entire acreage vielded the same proportions, the whole crop would be 12,000 bushels. As it is, Mr. Conrad can boast of a crop that is ‘hard to beat, either in the aggregrate amount, or the yield per acre. The Tin‘ql"es?beli_ev:e,s there is not an: other farmer in this section that fﬂrgﬁi 50 extensively, ahh certainly no one who is more successful than Christ. i

‘CONSIDERAIN‘LE excitement has heretofore prevailed in Kexidflllville over the action of the City Council with regard to the settlement of the railroad debt. The majority. of ‘the Council, several weeks: since, ordained to exchange the cntire amount of stock for one-half:of the city bonds, but this action seemed to meet with so much opposition that on Tuesday of last weck the former action was rescinded. Thig, as the Journal has it, leavcs. the subject just as it was, namely : stock in the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad to the amount of some $BO,OOO owned and held by the city, with: city donds for the stock, outstanding. - ‘

- Orseeo, Miom, Aug. 20,1870, DEAR BANNER: To-day isa gal‘a-day“ for the Sunday schools in this vicinity. A grand pic-nigis being held in the Mineral Spring grove—a most beautiful piace for suchi gatherings, containing about eight acres, with stands for speakers, plenty of seats, swings for the children, and pure sparkling water for the thirsty. All the surroundings show life and beauty fo the beholder. Bands are playing, colors flying, #nd hundreds of voices are joining in the melodious chorus. Even the faces of the sick and crippled, of whom there are scores visiting the Springs, are lighted up with sniiling joy as'they: gaze upon the charming scene. . : Each additional day that we tarry bere we become more impressed with chis pleasant village. - It almost seems, a secnnd Garden of Eden, where .peopie live in pleasure, health and happiness until they grow old to die. Even those who come from u distance to receive bdnefit fr_om\: these healing watcrs, as they recover their wanted health, mingle their bappy faces with the throng, while the thoughts of sadness on by-gone days are only recalled by the sight ot crutches hung against the wall. s o : | Each day brings forth new wonders, if such they may be called, in n}ka‘rd‘to the, cfficacy or curative prc)perti§s‘ of these springs. The sick and afflictpd continue 40 flock in from all quarters. There isa gentleman now here from Tennessee, who is stffering dreadfully’ with rheumatism, 80 much so that he is compelled t? go upon crutches. There are also many persons here from Cbiéugo, Detroit, and even, from Pennsylvama, In all manner of -ways are ull these poor fellows stricken. One poor man we noticed with St. Vitus’ Dance, the contortions of his body are terrible to witness. . Some are brought here on litters, while others are still able to walk. Tt is really sad to look upon the pale, sickly, pain-smitten countenances'as they appear at the infirmary for their Caily bath, and to drink 'of the pure, cr?stal ‘water. Many experience help from the very first bath, while on others it takes several days to have any effect. 'l‘hcre: are none, however, that it does not cffectually hielp, and the great majority fully and permanently recover. : But one person has died, who came or was brought here for treatment ; he was a confirmed dyspeptic, and was mpi«%]y gaining his health when’ he overloaded his stomach; conjestion followed, from which he did not recover.

Far be it from me to endeavor to draw any one into a faith of these waters, that the afflicted may expend their little remaining means and strength. to come, only to be deceived. I have experienced & relief from suffering by the use of the water, and T meet others day after day that do the same, L N. E. DoANE. i ——rtl} - e ~ DRr: TeaL, of the Kendsllville Jousnal, has long been known as a surgeon of ability, and in matters pertaining to “ patching up the human form divine,” the Doctor knows whereof he speaks. Here is what he says of one of the professional gentlemen of our town and his office : _“ While at Ligonier, a few days ago, we had the pleasure of a short visit at the dental office of Dr. Gants. If we had had an aching tooth, or any little ill of ‘that kind, it would not have bcen so pleasant to have looked around and observed the many fixings and contrivances in the Doctor’s office, but as it was we took in the view with composure, and said, very mnice and complete. Dr. Gants is doing a great deal of good work, and enjoys the confi dence and esteem of a large number of customers. People in the vicinity ot Ligonier and thereabouts will do well to call upen Gants when their natural supply of teeth fail them.” =

Hon. William Williams arrived at bis home, in this'place, on "Tuesday morbing last, in fine health and spirits.” We can inform the Democracy of this District, that a joint canvass for the Congressional race will not be declined, whether Slack, Mitchell, Stoll, Hascall, Milligan, or “any other man,” is ‘pitted against him—.any reports to the contrary notwithstanding. — Northern Indicnian. )

The above appeared in Billy Williams’ home organsimmediately . after his return from Washington, and was doubtless pub-

lished by authority. Well, Billy has been challenged to a joint canyassby ‘Gen. Hagcall, but now flatly refuses’ Yito comne to time.” Poor Billy! The fear of having his record ventilated “by one who knows” has completely taken the starch out of the little trimmer. .

~ Tue Fort Wayne Journal says that the members of ‘the Kendallville base-ball club treated the South Bend “Clippers” most shamefully, during their late visit to Kendallville. Heretofore the reputa: tion of the Kendallville ballists' has been that of gentlemen, and this is the first complaint we have heard - against them, This, together with the fact that one or two of the South Bend nine are inclined to be quarrelsome during the progress of games, in which their nine are contestants» inclines us to the opinion ithat the Jour nal is unjust in-its-remarks, or that it has heard but one side of the!story. /

Base BaLn.—The Novelty boys paid a flying visit to LaGrange and played a game of base ball with the Shoo Fly club of that place, and were victorious by a score of 28-to 4.
