Eprtor :~—As an exponent of discriminating unfairness, insufferable meanness and | craven pusilanimity, commend us to the Kendallville Standard, in -the fifth paragraph of editorial matter in its issue of the Bth inst. Notoriously, some pnﬁegg)ged literary bantling—or brood of that ilk—probably lincal descendants of ' the unregencrated’ family of Iscariot—is ~ habitually given free scope in its columns ~ to malign the best citizens and the best interests of the town of Rome City. To - impute ‘to these dreary platitudes -anything of originality or excellence in' point of literary” sentiment or expression were to plagiarize the truth, and credit the Standard with'a degree of intelligence which Its verdant vealishness can never display. But the utter baseness of the covert attacks thus made upon both business.and private reputations—the ruthless invasion of the sanctity of female charac ter, which no true gentleman would assail

—the dastardly attempts to black mail those whom his cupidity cannot otherwise reach; and seek to compel {hem to purchase’his silence, and the recreancy of this low bred editor in giving currency to palpable lies and filthy inuendos, while closing bis columns to fair and legitimate re--plies, are matters whereof the public sho’ld be advised. Do this same recreant’s shoul ders no longer smart under the welts of a once duly administered raw-hide? Ishis standard of editorial courtesy and journalistic propriety so debased that he can appreciate only the obscene and the false? Is it true, as many report, that he is a very | pariah to the truth? Is he so vile that he would give himself over to the services of the venal and conscienceless for hire? Unquestionably he much mistakes the proper province of journalism—tlie third estate of our political and social fabric.— For if this be to educate and reform the age, and npot to prostitute it ; to redress social wrongs, and not te aggravate them, to clevate the standard of individual character.and thus by aggregation to exalt the-public soul, and not to debase it; to ennoble the truth, and not to degrade it; in short, coming with pure hands, and with hearty acknowledgment of the sovcreignty of the Most High, ever to strive « ‘‘For the cause that needs adsistance; = .~ . .For'the wrongs that need resistance ~ Tor the future in the distanee, i .

It is evident to all that the divorce business in Noble county is on the wane, as there ate but ten cases on the docket at the present term. Only three divorces were granted duting the first week, the remainder will be put through, however, before the term closes. The notorious modesty of both ‘the petitioner and his or her attorney; catises delay in such cases, all parties désiring to have as little display and ‘pomp in' such matters as possible, consist. ent with law and equity. It is utterly impossible to call up a diverce case on the seccnd or third day of the term, when so many persons are present, and while the attention of the court is absolutely re‘quired in more urgent business. Hence the delay until near the close of the term, or near sipper time, when fow are by,and the Judgeas leisure, =~

‘The -first decree rendered was in the case of Casper Peiper vs. Catharine Peiper. The petition sets forth that Casper and Catharine were married in Seidlinghausen, Prussia, October 25th, 1867. That the petitioner was induced to marry the defendant through the tricks and frauds of Catherine and her friends ; that Catharine represented herself to be as virtuous, and pure as the “drigen snéw ;" that he was terribly fooled (as many others have been,) whereas. in truth and in fact she hdd ' been a little indiscreet, about two months prior to said marriage; had loved some other Casper, “not wisely but too well ;" that thereupon “petitioner became dissatisfied and was mestreated by defendant ;* that he thereupon tied his clothes in & little, old, red handkerchief, and ‘struck out for the “land of the free,” and “lit” in Indiana, where divorces are easy and the oppressed are freed. Because Catharine didn't come too (Casper didn’t want her to) he charges her with abandonment—the fourth cause recognized by our statutes for which a divorce may be grant. ed—and is loosed from his ¢heins, released from his vows, e ke The second case was that of John §.

Wiley vs. Philena 8. Wiley, and this too on a charge of abandonment—the defendant being still in Ohio, their place of res--Idence—but then it's the law, and there is nohelpforit = ok The third case was that of a gentleman wearing the “livery of heaven” (formerly a Reform minister but now a Millerite.)— Our statute wisely and charitably permits divorces to be decreed for six specific causes, and then adds a seventh, which has the siaving qualities of a fine tooth comb, and is as follows: ! o “ Any other cause for which the court shall deem it proper that a divorce should be granted.” \ As an instance of the charitable discretion. exercised by our courts we.append hereto a petition, verbatim, and one upon which a decree was granted, (clearly one "of the for whick's) : . L : PETITION FOR DIVORCE. A. B. vs. C. D.—A. B, a bona fide resident of Noble county, in the State of Indiana, complains of the defendant, C. D., and says on the 28th day of September, 1862, at the county of Stark, in the State of Ohio, he was married to the ‘defendant. That in a few weeks after said marriage the plaintiff and defendant commenced housekeeping at the last mentioned place as husband and wife. That at; the time of said marriage the plaintiff was a minister of the gospel and preached and continued to preach after said marriage in the -vicinity in which they resided: That the plaintiff was imployed by the Reform Church of that place to preach on each Sabbath. The plaintiff further avers that .in about six months after said - marriage the deféndant disclosed to the plaintiff that she was an ill-tempered, evil disposed and uneasey woman, this she first-mani-fest to the plaintiff by finding fault about .the plaintiff preacbing on the Sabbath day, in the fullfilment of his appointment as minister of the aforesaid chureh, and finaly she circulated of and concerning the plaintiff that he was too.intimate with the female members of the church, also she commenced a morose course of conduct towards the plaintiff this she done by twitting him of thinking more of other women, than her and by scolding and finding fault. with. everything he would do | for her comfort and happiness, by this course of conduct she caused the plaintiffs bome to be misrable to him, and this caused the plaintiff to spend as much' of hig time away from his home as he could. The plaintiff further avers that on the" 17th day of August, A. ».'lBB9, thz2 plaintiff and the defendant separated and have not cohabited together as husband and ‘wife since that time. That: the plaintiff gave the detendant all of the household property and three hundred dollars in money, and in a few days after said separation the plaintiff moved to Elkhart county, in the State of Indiana, where he resided till the second day of December, A.D. 1870, at which -time. he moved to Noble county, in the State of Indiana, where he has resided ever since and where¢ he now still resides. The plaintiff further says.that the defendant admitted to the members of said church after said separation thas she had circulated unfounded reports of the plaintiff, and that she would - never live with him as his wife, and that she was glad him and her had separated. ‘The plaintiff further avers that he provided everything necessary for the defendant to live upon and treated. her kindly at all times, discharged the duties of a good and -effectionate husband towards the defendant. The plaintiff ‘urther avers that he: did not receive on Wis intermarriage nor since, any property of any kind or natur whatever, that the plaintiff and defendant have no children or child, the issue of said marriage, that the plaintiff has been a bona fide resident of the State of Indiana for more than one year, prior to the filing of this his complaint, and a resident of Noble countys in said State, at the time of filing this his complaint.— ‘Wherefore the plaintiff prays that on the hearing of this his complaint, that the bonds of matrimony now existing between the plaintiff and defendant be dissolved, annullled and set aside,'and that such other decrees be made as will be legal and right i the premises. The criminal docket was very meagre, but five cases appearing tbercon, two of which—both being for assault and. battery —were disposed of as follows : : ! State vs. Jonas Quackenbush. Plea of guilty and fine assessed at.sls. Bk State vB. ——. Plea guilty, fine $5.. Jo. Morlan is diligently at work -and will undoubtedly make dealers in “ malt with water on it ” suffer next week. ‘

- SUMMARY, Vot The civil docket numbered 164 cases, of which 16 were continued, 19 dismissed, 1 taken to DeKalb county on a change of venue; and 61 finally disposed of. There yet remains upon the docket 67 cases, as follows : 8 partition cases, 20 petitions to sell real estate (probate), 111 - foreclosures; 6 on notes, 7 divorces, 4 claime against estates, 1 for settlement of partmership, 2 replevin, 2 seduction, 1 attachment, 4 suits on ‘official bonds, 3 ex-parte proceedings, 1 injunction, 1 appeal from J.

Almost everything, ; although -Tunaways seem to be most popular just now. TJeteam which ran away trom the Albion mill when W .C. Levering was hurt, ran away again last week, with Charles Levering; but fortunately he escaped with but one or two slight injuries.| The wagon was considerably broken. The team owned by Harper Mack, also ran away, last tveek. Mr. Mack and Lorain 'B'ethel wete in the wagon, both of whom were tlirown oat. Mr. Bethel was hurt somewhat seriolx§ly,;by his fall on the frozen ground, fe being found senseless by a neighbor | who saw ' the horses start. Mr. Mack received “slight injuries. The cause of the first runaway was.the noise made by putting the wagon-box on; the _cadse of the second was the breaking of the bridle bits, also of the snap ‘with which the line was fastened. Runaway No. three was participated in by the mule team owned by Mr. J. M. Bowman, on Tuéstday of_.'t'h‘is‘week; nobody hurt, and nothing broken, except the lock on another man’s wagon which the ‘team passed in their flight. A friend remarks that the real cause ot refractory teams, this winter, is that “corn is too plenty.” - There isa great deal of real spicy excitement in the breeze this winter in York, just because there are some of its inhabitants getting itoo smart.

“Hoe-downs” are subsiding from three a week, to one in three weeks. We will not say, here, just what we think of danc: ing, but remark that.a. Hall built for that purpose, would be more fﬁphpzmprinte than the neighbors houses, promiscuously selected. Everything. has a place and should keep it; the “Old Nick” keeps Jhis place, and why should not his pickets ‘keep theirs? Better go to bed at sundown, boys, than to participate in the pleasures drowned in the perfumery of mixed medicine, that makes you lean so heavily, and dance so oddly. It’s bad to get the two professions mixed. . - Hope you will pardon me, Mr. Editor, for being so prolix in my first attempt, but asall beginners learn to do better, I'have hope. Sadn s AL TAT.

THE CO-OPERATIVE PI.AN, ‘ - Low Rates, Perfect Security. e [ - . B . d . - oy - K 1 ‘ - By this Flan, the National Life Insurance Company of Chicago, enables the poorest mai to - provide for his family in case of death.: o I 1 ) To insure in this Company, on'this plan, you are required to piy a membership fee of nine dollars, and yearly dues of but five dollars.- You are placed in a class limited to 2,500 members of near your own age.- 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. - In case of your death, your heirs receive s many dollars as there are memberships in your class, and the Company guarantees for the first year One Thousand Dollars, and as much more as the number of memberships in your class may exceed one thousand. . I=¥"Rémember, the membership fee of $9 is payable but once only, o STOCK PLAN---SO MUCH INSURANCE FOR SO MUCH MONEY. ' SPECIAL FEATURES. - - First—lts Rates are.as low as any other Company in America. - ) T & Seconp—lt issues every desirable form of Policies, - ; | Tarp—lts policiesjare all Non-forfeitable. ‘ Fourtu—lt guarantees by an endorsement on its policies, a definite cash surrender value and a definite ?aid up-policy value. . . S Firru—lt offers. perfect security-to its Policy Holders. Its Capital Stock is $200,000, of which $lOO,OOO is deposited with the Treasurer of the State of Illinois, and theicondition of this Company is such that it can do business in any State in the Union. - Acéording to the sworn statement of fifty-five Life Insurance Compmiies, doing business in the State of New York, as shown by Insurance Commissioner’s Report for the year 1869, the costof Insurance by the loss of death was about¢ix dollars per thousand on tep thousand dollars insurance! Ifall those Companies liad been upon the co-operative plan adopted by this Company, seventy-four dollars on each ten. thousand dollars would have been the average cost of ingsurance . and would have;Eiven» a fair remunerative business to the companies. The logses for the year 1869 have been about the average for the past fifteen years. This includes all the old companies in the State of New York. .t f 1: . : { A " The report of the Auditor of the State of Ohio, shows that the foreign Life Insm‘ance Companies doing business in the, State-for the year 1869, received $3,708,701 in premiums. And the- - of loss;es-(imid by :said Companies was §679,869.86, making a loss of over $3,000,000 to the insured in said State for the year 1869, ] i It will be seen by the Auditor’s réport of the State of Ilinois, that there was $3,927,124.25 in - premiums paid to Life Insurance Companies doing business in this State for the year of 1860 ; and the whale amount of losses paid in said State was $751,229.841 Showing the receipts 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,(49,683.82 paid for foreign life companies.. If the same ingurance had been taken by home lifé companies, we ‘would have retained at home for use in the West, %2, - 968,668.26, which is the amount received by foreign life compsanies in the State of Illinois over and above what they paid for losses in‘the year 1869, and which isabout equal to one-fifth.of the whole banking capital of the State of Illinois. This will explain why money is Bor 4 per cent. . in the Edst, and hard to get in the West for 10 per cent. ger anpum.” And had all the hfe ingur ‘ahce companies in the State of Llinois for the year 1869, been on ‘the co-operative plan adopted by this. Company, 0ver.52,700,000.00 would have. been saved to the insured in the State of Illin-~ ois that year, which amount is a dead 10ss to our citizens, and never comes back except n loans to our people at high rates of interest with a heavy commission for negotiating the same. Itis a.noted fact.that but about one person in every twenty who have taken policies in tho old mutual companies continue their policies to the._end. ) L Vit : ‘ 5 ; E e Y waadea S f 0 3 ; .
