" __ Letter from Wawaka. M= EpiTor:—Seeing a kind invitation_ in your excellent paper last week for your patrons to send up some local items, .and catching at it like a drowning man to a straw, Isit down to make out a little quarterly report, if you please, of the doings 6f my favorite town, benighted Wawaka. First, and foremost, is education. We have a fine school here, taught by Mr. John Bosawo‘rtfi, of Kendallville, who is doing all in liis power to make it a'firstclass school, not only in teaching the young idea 'to shower down figures like hail upon the black-board, but he also brings out their literary talents in declamation and composition. Miss Cox, of Kendallville, has charge of. the juvenile department, and is an excellent teacher. We have also a scribe among us, teachiig ‘ the art of penmanship, who surpasses Un\e]e T. Hudson (all honor to hisyears) in this science. By the by, we have a class of people in Wawaka who appreciate what is beautiful, honest, and of good report. \_The daily arrivals and departures on the train, the roar and din of Ellis & Mum]art's flour mill, the unceasing buzzing of the saw mill owned by Matthew the Dodger —- all proclaim this one |of the ikowns of which we read. - I always felt a little shy of an editor in gold glasses* and ‘you may think this item is too lengthy,t but, my husband has been & sub- - scriber for the BANNER eight} years, and lhas paid up all his fees and dues; therefore I feel at. liberty to eulogize your paper by saying I used them the first year [to ornament my pantry shelves, and now JI preserve them all as household treasures, |especially since you publish local news, |so that "we can_hear from all our sister ’ towns. _fMore anon, . - A PATRON's WIFE. |- Wawaks, January 28th, 1871, !."——;E)-;‘r fair correspondent is slightly mistaken—our 1 glasses are lmcaq.ed in steel.

Teachers’ Association. | EpiTorß BANNER:— In response to a Ica‘l} for an association of teachers to be l;held at Cromwell, on the 21st uit., several teachers and a respectable number of citizens assembled and participated in the ‘exercises of the occasion, consisting of reading conducted by Mr. Finley, of Indian Village ; grammar by Mr. Hoffman, of Ligonier ; arithmetic by Mr. Schlotterback, of Perry’s Prairie ; and illustration “of * word method ” by Mr. Kirkland, of Eromvvell. "'Although the session was-too hort to allow much time to any particular branch, the meeting was, in every reépect, a pleasant one. . Much interest was manifested by those, present; in fact, school patrons were more prompt in regponding to the call than the teachers of the township, just half of whom were there. Names of teachers present, belonging to township, Messrs. Finley, Hersey, Fait, Clark, and Kirkland ; absent, Messrs. Grant, McClellan, Covel, Baber, and McConnell. If suchassociations are organiéed and kept up for the purpose of compiring methods, &c., the result would be »a‘ingre uniform system of teaching and a cﬁlrresponding increase of interest on the part of the friends of education, which wrill result in the greater efficiency of our ‘séhools,, bring those having common interests into more intimate relations, give ‘them; better ideas of school affairs, and, perhaps, remove some of the prejudice inherent to many localities.” K. i .

: j Funeral Discourse By Mr. Jacob Wile, at the Temple B'ne Zion, LaPorte, Jamuary 27th, in memory of Mrs. HENRIETTE LOW, laté.ef Ligonier. ' _ - 'The sad event which has,aasembled" us here to-day is well calculated to arrest the attention of all by its suddenness and significance. It tells us how frail is the tenure which we have on life, how briet are our days, how imniinent is the close thereof, even wheh least expected. ’ ' When Aaron, the brother of Moses, was bereft of his two eldest sons on one day, at the very period when -they had been solemnly installed into the priestly office of the Most High to serve in the sanctuary for the people of Israel, we find the following passage in the law : s

““ And Moses gaid to Aaron, This is what the Lord has s%oken. ‘Through those who come near me will I be sanctified, and before all the people will I be honored,’ and Aaron remained silent.”.» We should bear this lesson well in our minds, lfy its teachings we shonld learn how to submit patiently to the will of God, to bear his dealings with humility. and to comtort ourselves ‘with the declaration, “odur kind Father in heaven does ‘everything according to His infinite wis‘dom and love, for the good of mankind.” Thus Aaron remained 'silent ; he found consolation from his firm™ belief in the justice and lovie of God; his lips no longer uttered a sound of lamentation; not another sigh came from his breast; he was silent as a truly pious man should be under any and all dispensations of affliction at the hands of providence. ' ' Why, therefore, should. we, my friends, exhibit such terror, such" fear, at the approach of death, as so many do? Why should we mourn for those who, have but just gone before us? WhY should we “despair as though all hopes. were fled ?— W hat is, upon the whole, our earthly life ? We are born to be Lere fot ja time, to be removed when our task is done. "For a time, I say, because the death, the decay of the body, is not the end of our existence. - ‘The body, indeed, is laid into the .grave to moulder away into corruption, but the spirit which once animated it has mﬂrt thereby been annihilated, and will survive in the preserice of Him who gave it, to await His call for a purer life.” It is| the seed, as it were, of immortality which we entrust to earth; to arise, to're--appear only in a more perfect, everlasting form in that world " beyond, whence joy and happiness are complete, where sorrow and grief are unknown. So it i§%oo when the -husbandman entrusts -to earth his precious seed ; if we will but examine it after it has been buried awhile its outward and former beauty and symetry are gone, and it presents to the ‘eye the unmis‘takable] evidence of decay, as though its lite had fled. Yet watch i$ well, it contains the very essence of a new existence, and soon it will bring forth the'new plant, to bear the seed a hundred fold, multiplied to reward the labor of man.So also is the death of the body but the door, the stepping stone to eternal existence, purified and renewed through the agency of material dissolution. Nothing is annihilated, only the form.is changed, and all by the decree of the Supreme Being who directs everything for our im provement.; When, therefore, the righteous beholds the approach of death, when he feels that he must part with earth and its glories, he will not sink into. dejection nor dread the messenger who is to summon hum hence, but await resignedly the stroke which is to cut asunder-the silver cord of his earthly existence, and look with a well-founded trust to meet a paternal reception at the hands of our Heaven-. ly! Father. Upon the other hand, those who are called on to mourn for the loss and bereavement which death has wrought in their family circle, should not complainé as. though they: had been wronged by Providence, and'weep without comfort; but they submit with patience tp the One who has removed'the beloved friend and companion, and acknowledge the justice of His decrees, which are always sent in -mercy. : i :

In the present affliction, therefore, let us offer sympathy and comfort to the family of the deceased, by -directing their thoughts unto Him ‘ who has given and hag taken™ Let the sudden and unexpected decease of our late friend impress upon us all the important lesson that all our jjoys are fleeting, that all our happiness and prosperity is at best of but momentary existence. But a few weeks ago’ she, whose earthly mission is now ended, whose body we have but just deposited in its final resting place, was yet basking in the sunshire of love and esteem,.surrounded by those who were near and dear to her, cherished by all who knew her, and now—gone from our midst upon that, dark and yet certain journey, from which no traveler ever returned. ~While she, perhaps, thinking and picturing to herself the enjoyment of future happiness in bringing up the children whose tender age does not permit them to appreciate the extent of their loss, bending her energies to,the fulfillment of her duties to her husband, ber protector-and companion, gratefilly devoting now and then a thought upon the home of her youth, kind and loving parents, true and affectionate sisters, cherishing the recollections of happy days gone by—and the fatal messenger of death dashes down all these hopeful visions, all. resolves and plans for the future, these happy memories of the past. But, Instead of arraigning the mysterious ways of providence, let us,/like Aaron, submit meekly to that which our strength cannot repair and our wisdom cannot alter. When our first High Priest lost his two hopeful sons he did not rend his garments, he did not pull out his hair, he'did not even break forth into passionate words of grief, and say like King David, “Oh my sons, that I had died in your place;” but silently, -without uttering a single word of complaint, he yielded himself entirely to the divine dispensation, and bowed in submission, though his paternal heart was ready to succumb with the griét which it experienced. So, my friends, let us do likewise in_your present afHliction, seek comfort and consolation in God ; recog‘nize Him.in this bour of sorrow, and let us all learn to put a proper value upon the nothingneéss of human glory and the vanity of earthly power. We should be told by this event not to cling so closely to earth and its joys, to pleasure, to power, since all are so readily taken from us. Let ug rather consider ourselves as constantly subject to the divine summons, and be ready to meet them' as creatures of earth, whose abode is not here. Although the great masses of the human family have not this wisdom, yet ‘we should stlgve to impart it by the lessons of this occasion. We hasten - along as though our days were to last forever ; as though our joys could never end. -We build %Jouses and plant vineyards, and vainly imagine that the foundation of the one could never be moved, and the greenness of the other never fade: Is'thjs not a brief picture of life? Ifweask o&r experience it will tell us ; if we appeal to the lessons of ages, they will instruct us. How then should we do? tlow should we be wise? Even a 8 the word of God teaches us, 1n the midst of joy we should remember our end; “in’ the midst of business occupation we should reflect that we have something more to do than merely toil for these perishable limbs; that our soul, the nobler part of man, needs purification 'ere she can enter the kingdom of heaven, for. which she is destined for everlasting dwelling. For when the-body has flourished like.the grass in the morning, and . ‘been cut down before evening, our spirit does not perish, but it, will bloom in immortal glory, if we have only enriched it with deeds of righteonsness and mercy, as demanded by our Father in Heaven. i ————— et — ' No MORE GRAY HAIR.— Nature's Hair Restorative brings back the original color, It is not a dye, and clear as crystal.

- Baltimore and Ohio Raflroad. Jno. P. Early, Esq.,, of Laporte, who recently visited the city of Baltimore, in company with Dr. Ellis, of Goshen, gives the following report of his interview with the officers. ot the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad :* - ] ; : To the Mayor and Common Council of. the City of Laporte :— ' 3 Having just visited 'Baltimore for the purpose ,of}sadyancing the claims of our qity as & point on the proposed extension of the Baltimore & Qhio R. R., I deem it but just to state as fully as 1 can in a few word, the position of the matter as affecting our interests. 3 : e

Ist. What has been done by the B. &0. R. R.: Mr. Garrett, having 'in hand for his road the completion of the Pittsburg & 'Connellsville R. R., and the work being so far advanced that it was evident the road would be completed early in ’7l, it became to him evident that a through route from Chicago to ‘the seaboard could be made superior to any now in use. He then hegan putting forward ;the project of oompl{{}.ﬁing’guch’d,lﬁine} by calling the attention! of the people at the competing {)oints ‘on the different routes between Pittshurg and' Chicago, - with 'a view to their 'making'the pecessary preliminary surveys and subscribing such amounts of stock as each couldiraise; and has also entered . into negotiations .with ‘Baring Bros. for the 'placing of' the bonds at as early a date as the money for the iron and equipments may be needed for the entire line. ; 7 4 0

2nd. What steps have been taken on on-the lines. Four companies have been formed in Ohio, and three connecting ones in Indiana. "One in Ohio,“the most southerly route, nearly directly across the State and connecting with an Indiana line touching Huntington, Rochester, Knox, and Valparaiso. One in Ohio 'extending from Pittsburg to Canton. One from Canton through Defiance, connecting with an Indiana line by Albion, and running north of and nearly parallel with the Pittsburg, Ft: Wayne & Chicago Road ;* and one from "Canton, throngh Wooster, Ashland, i’lymouth, Tiffin, Fostoria, Napoleon apd Bryan, and connecting with our line through Angola, LaGrange, Goshen and Laporte. All the lides in Ohio will be expensive in construction, and the people have aided by personal subscriptions quite liberally: Some towns with less than a fourth of the population and means ‘of the city of Laporte, have furnished individual subscriptions of $lOO,OOO and oven.; o Thé route in Indiana in which welare inter&"éted, shows a better territory for local business, and statistics of much greater ability to assist in the building of the line than exists in either of the opposing routes. This line also can be much more cheaply -constructed than the southerly line. .

I am satisfied that had we now a preliminary survey, and such a subseription of stock as can be obtained in a few week’s effort, to present at a meeting to be held “on the 25th inst, that it would almost certainly fix our route on such a satisfactory basis ag to insure its adoption. Inagmuch as these conditions cannot now be met in | the limited time before the meeting nam“ed, it is now suggested that the Pittsburg, Indiana & Chicago Railway Co. (in “which . Messra. L.: Crane‘, A. H. Miller and myself represent Laporte) shall ‘set forth in*addition -to representations heretofore made the following: . L That the &ir line by the way of Laporte, Goshen, Lagrange, and Angola has as low grades as can be obtained by any direct line. That the earth-work and bridging in our judgment will be much less expens- ‘ ive than on any proposed route, and that the . corporations and citizens interested will extend more real bonag fide aid than there i any ability to give on either ofjthe _above routes. ~ That we prefer that the Engineers of the B, & 0. R. R. should make the necessary examinations; yet, if it is deemed best, ~we will proceed immeiljately after the meeting named to a preliminary survey, and to the taking up of subscriptions of stock on the line.* . I ‘would suggest the passage by .the - Coungil of'a paper in general terms setting forth “the advantages of the road to the city, so as to get the attention of the people thoroughly drawn to the subject. " @ 4. WJ.P. EARLY. *The citizens of Lariorfe have caused.to be made a map of the entire line across the State, to be placed in Mr. Garrett’sfhands. - ——— P . MANY persons say that they have tried almost every remedy that has been recommended for humors, and they are no better now than when they commenced them, and they bave no confidence in anything that is“advertised to cure Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, ant al} similar humors. We would ‘say to these that there is now a remedy that s yet has never failed of curing those diseases. It acts upon an entirely different principle from anything ever offered for .them; it throws humor out of the blood through the skin, when the system can be entirely freed from them.

Upon the death of a member you are notified and assessed one dollar and ten cents. - Should there be no deaths there will be no losses, consequently no. assessments. - q In case of your death, your heirs recéive as many dollars. as there are -memberships in your class, and thé Company guarantees for the first year One Thousqnd Dollars, and as much more ag'the pumber of?’memb'erships in your class may exceed one thousand. = {=¥°Remember, the membership fee of §9 is payable but once only, . i ' STOCK PLAN---SO MUCH INSURANCE FOR SO MUCH MONEY. oot , SBPECIAL FEATURES. ; .

Its Capital Stock is $200,000, of which $lOO,OOO is deposited with the Treasurer of the State of Illinois, and the condition of this Com‘pany is such that it can do‘business in any State in the Union.: i - FACTS IMPORTANT TO WESTERN MEN. According. to the sworn statement of fifty-five Life Insurance Companies, doing business in the State of New York, as shown' by Insurance Commissioner’s Report for the year 1869, the cost of Insurance by the loss of death was about six dollars per thousand on ter thousand dollars insurance ! If all those Companies had been upon the co-operative plan adopted by this Company, | Seventy-four dollars on each ten thousand dollars wduld have been the average cost of insurance and would have Eiven a fair remunerative business to the companies. The losses for the year 1869 have been about the average for the past fifteen years. . This includes all the old comgauies in the State of New York. - . ! ; o The report of the Auditor of the State.of Ohio, shows that the foreign Life Insurance Companies doing business in the State for the' year 1869, received $3,708,701 in premiums. And the. i amount of losses-paid by said Companies was £679,869.86, maixing 8 loss of over $3,000,000 to : the insured in émit{)State for the year 1869, T « : : It will be seen by the Auditor’s report of the Stdte of Illinois, that there was $3,927,124.23 in premiums paid to Life Insurance Companies doing business in-this State for the year of 1869 ; and the wholé.amount of losses paid in said State was $751,229.84! Showing the Teceipts were nearly six times the amount paid for losses. “We also find that only $177,440.94 was paid to home life companies, leaving $3,649,633.82 paid for foreignlife companies. If the same insurance had been taken by home life companies, we would have retained at home for use in the West, $2,--986,668.26, w{ich is the amount received, by foreign life companies in the ‘State of Hlinois over _ and above what they paid for losses'in the year 1869, and whioh isabout equal to one-fifth of thawhole banking capital of the State of Illinois. This will explain why money. is 8 or 4 per oent.. in the Edst,.and hard to get in the West for 10 per cent. ger annum. And had all the hife jnsur. - | ance companies in the State of Illinois for the year 1869, heen on the co-operative Plau adopted by this Compang, over $2,700,080.00 would have been saved to the insured in the State of Illinois that year, which amount'is a dead loss to our citizens, and'never comes back except in loans to pur people at high ?tes of interest with a heavy commission for negotiating the same. It is a noted fact that but a out one:person in every twenty wha have taken policies in the old: mutual companies continue their policies to the end, ‘ ; , : CMTMESTIMONIALS— .
