RonBER7.— On Wednesday night of last week the store of Messrs. Baum, Walter & Co., at ‘Avilla, was entered by burglars, and robbed of about one hundred dollars in' cash. The door of the safe was forced open, and completely demolished. The buiglars scattered the papers found .in the safeg over the floor, and evidently bad no desire to appropriate anything but the “ready cash.” On the same night, Mr. Hunter's store, at Huntertown, was also visited by burglars,who helped themselves to two pairs of boots. It is generally believed thiat both robberies were committed by the same parties, who are generally bef lieved to hail from Fort Wayne. g Two very suspicious looking individuals were noticed at Avilla at 11 and at 2 o'clock of the night on which the robbery was committed.” Oné of them was a tall, . well dressed individual, apparently “well adapted to such performances: The fact that the robbers succecded in quieting “the two large watchful dogs that are constantly kept in Messrs, Baum, Walter & C».'s store is conclusive evidence of their ability to successfully ply their criminal avocations. bt

On the night before the robbery, a fire was discovered kindled in one of two beds 1 a room at the house of Mr, Baum, evidently ignited by the same persons, in or: der that they might rob the store while the proprictors were absent battling with the flames. Happily the fire was iscovered befi re it had gained much headway, and was extinquished before any serious damage was done. : :

-7 A FrienD furnishes us with the follow/ing item : While going from Kendallville to'Avilla late in the afternoon of the 11th inst., Levi Diller, of Green township, who was driving with some haste'a single horse hitched to & light buggy,noticed a loaded team approaching, gave free rein to his horse, thinking be could reach snd crass a small bridge a few rods ahead, before they met. Thedriver 6f the loaded team did not seem to pay any attention to Mr. Diller’s eagerness 'to cross first, but gave his horses the whip. - The result wasa ~ a fearful collision, by which Diller was thrown from his buggy, dislocating his right shoulder and bruising the elbow and forearm badly, It seeifxq there was a passenger on the wagon carrying a basket, who, seeing “what had been done, was by Mr. Diller-in an instant, offering his as sistance. On the man being asked by Mr. D. to secure his horse, “ I will,” he replied, ‘“ but hold my basket!" The Injured man was taken to Elihu Wadsworth's, where he was properly cared tor. ot T et e[ 'Tis dangerous to rouse the lion, and deathly is the tigers tooth, but the terriblest of terrors is the man so void of truth as to say. that Geo.

" 7 STICKING TO PROMISES. ** We all detest s man. who fails to keep his word, den't we? I confess that although I have' wrestled. vigorously with this question for the last half hour, I have ibeea unable to settle it satisfactorily in ‘my own mind, either affjrmatively or negativelf. This may seem strange —lB STRANGE--and yet not so strange after all. As a general or universal proposition ‘everybody wants everybody else to say just what they mean, and mean just what they say. Ifaman wishes goods on credit, and for the purpose of inducing the merchant to part with his merchandise makes piausible and satisfactory promises to pay at a time, certain, he must redeem his “word, or his credit is lost--and he is handed about as “not'a man of his word.” .

Lately one of our ‘merchants settled an ‘account with a farmer, taking his note for the balance and payable in three months; the farmer meanwhile promising faith. fully to pay the_same at maturity, as it was 4 great accommodation 'to him to get further time. Just as the farmer left the store the merchant again reminded hLis debtor that he *must be sure to pay the note when dye.” “ All right,” says the farmer, “ I'll do it, you bet, but, if I don’t, you can just lmfp thenote!” Themerchant still has the note, and thé debtor is set down as a man “not of his word.”

A man, no matter how poor, if only honest can and does receive more considceration at the hands of his creditors than 'he who can pay and won't, who promises but don’t keep his word. Itis not so much in & man’s ability to doa thing as it is his effort ; where there is a will there isa way. Imay be drawing the high ethicalirules too fine; I may possibly expeet of my neighbors and business acquaintances what is too austere in texture and too sublime in speculation for actual use. It may be that promises are not of that class of obligations which are binding on men’s cousciences, I should say not, judging from the indifference with which they are given and broken, or else consciences are very scarce hereabouts.— If a man promises to come in and pay off a note or account -on a certain day, or, within a certain time, my . estimation of that man,-of his ‘integrity and worth, is considerably shaken if he fails t 6 come in on time. . If/he can’t pay he ought to at least send word to that effect. ,

I think I am clear thus far and clearly right. But when I look at this matter from another standpoint, when I remove my goggles, ethics disappear, like the mist before the rising sun.: The dictates of conscience are scattered likeithe “sear and yellow leaf” betore the Autumn’s blast.— All my philosophizing and moralizing, and all that sort of thing, seems like the strange phantasies of a dredm, like the wild imaginings of an overwrought brain, or like a streak of fancy in its most erratic mood of flight, :

Suppose now, for instance, that a man vicious enough'to mean just what be says, should promise to burn your barn or your house, or steal your sheep or something of that kind, would youm want him to keep his word? Of course yop wouldn't.— You wouldn't care how much his con: science would upbraid him. It might lacerate him from ear to ear, and you wouldn’t care, would you? No !~ - Some time ago I put a note into judgment, down in Millersburg. The defend‘ant sat smilingly by and saw me do it}He “‘aidn’t care,” he said, and promised me though that he “ would keep me out of my money for @ plumb year . He put in stay and six months fleyy by; when thestay expired he came to see me and said he had the money to pay ‘he judgment, but inasmuch as he had promised to keep me out of my money fora year he hadto “keep his word.”' I labored hard with that man ; I stuffed him with ethics, and morality, and good faith, and the hardness of the times, and the uncertainty of future rewards and punishments, and, finally, that no man of business kept his promises in such trifling matters, and all sorts of soft sodder. I couldn’t fetch him, he was solid as a~rock, and to*his promise . T “Trye, as the dial to the sun, - | ", = Although it be not shone upon.” P. B.—The year expires in about thrée months. )

I have another promise directly in point, | and one that weighs more heavily on my conscience than all the rest,.and, in fact, | everything I bave bere written is directly ‘ or indirectly (yes it's directly) based upon. that particular one. r ‘ Not Jong since I wrote a little something for the BANNER, and a man—a real nice 1 man—took grave exeeplions to it; and. upon the spot promised (I am sure I did not extort it from him, I pledge my word to that effect,) to “set up a boot and shoe, store in the immediate vicinity (no rooms to let) of the buttons on the back of my Sunday coat.” I hope he'll. break his word ; I do sincerely ; I'll answer for his conscience in that one instance—and he's got a bigone. It may be that if he breaks his word his conscience will sting him, if he keeps it mine will sting me, - 7 | 7 “Oh!foraray of light divine.”,” In daily expectation of a “light,” I am still v MR, STUNNER. ’ — ; MANY persons say that they have tried almost every réemedy that has been recommended for humors, and they are no better now than when they commenced! them, and they have no confidence in anything that is advertised to cure Salt Rheum, Exfysige;as. and all similar humors. We, would #ay to these that there is now & remedy that as yet has never failed of curing those diseases. It acts upon an entirely different principle from anything ever offered for them ; it throws humor outrof the blood through the skin, when' thel system can be entirely freed from them.

EDITOR BANNER:—On Saturday even‘ing, at a few minutes past 7 o’clock, the aldrm of fire again grated on our ears—- . the building known as the Air Line House was discovered to be on fire, and in a short ftime was burned to the ground. It has not been occupied for sofi:time-u a hotel; but Mrs. Bicknell and family were living in a part of it, and had intended moving out this week, but unfortunately for.her the fire came a few days too soon " The building to ‘be replaced would probably cost about $4,000. It was insured for $2,000 in the. Pheenix and Putnam—sl,ooo in each company. Mrs. Bieknell’s damage and loss to housebold furniture is about sloo—no insurance The hook and ladder company were promptly on hand, and by their energy and hard work, saved the surrounding buildings. | : . On last Thursday Mr. Guire, a young ‘man who is one of the bridge builders on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad, met with a serious accident—‘that of ‘baving both bones of ‘one of his legs . broken just above the ankle, while bandling some heavy timber.. It was set by Dr. Williams, and the patient is doing as well as could be expected, but it is feared that he wili have a stiff ankle. He is ‘an excellent young man, and has the sympathies of all who know him. : ‘Mr. J. S. Brillkart, a former resident and merchant of our city, but'now of 11l inois, paid us a brief visit last week. - He is looking well, and was on his- way to New York. iy

The school exhibition on Wedhesday évening was & success, so much se that they were requested to hold forth again on Friday night, but the weather being so bad it was not so well attended. I did not learn the amount of recéipts.

Our Thespian Troupe are out with bills for. Friday and Saturday nights of this week. They have some good plays'in pre: paration, and no doubt all who attend will be highly entertained. s " Mr. Harry Ward has moved to No. 2, Mitchell’s: blook, (the room lately occupied by Mr. Dykes,) and now having one of the best rooms in the city, he is going east in a few days to buy a large stock of boots and shoes to fill it. Well, Harry is a hard woiker, a good fellow, and deserves success. : )

We have several horse-buyers-on our streets, who are getting a good many fin horses. They must be paying good prices, or they would not succeed so well.

The event of the season was the marriage of Mr. A. K. Moyer to Miss Sophie Mitchell, at the residence of the bride's father, .Geo. A. Mitchell, Esq., last Thursday evening. Over one hundred invitations had been issued, and by half—vpast 7 o'clock, the spacious double parlors were filled, there being fully one hundred present to witness the interesting ceremomy which was performed by Rev. C. A. Munn, in a graceful and impressive style. After the congratulations of the company had beea extended to the happy pair, the guests were c(mduétcd to the dining room wherg was spread a marriage supper that I doubt if Delmonico could excel, = Some of your readers who expect to marry soon,; ‘may wish to know something of the toilets of the bride and groom ; hére I fear my. pen will fail me, but I will say the bride was arrayed in a white gross grain‘ silk, pointed basque and dress trimmed with silk fripge, and a white yeil, all of which were exceedingly rich and tasty.— Mr. Moyer was dressed in black broad | ¢loth, with white tie, vest and kids.— There were present a number of others in rich and handsome toilets. In short, it ‘was one of the most fashionable and brilliant parties ever given in this yo'ung city. ‘ The presents were very beautiful and numerous. Among so many I can only n’ame% 4 few, such as solid silver desert spoons, salts, butters, forks, creamers, tea "spoons,‘ butter knife, plated knives, etc., etc. The‘ mdst valuable present was a set of jewelry, costing not less than $125. There was also a very handsome velvet basque presented to the bride, costing probably not less than $75. At 11:20, the happy couple took the train east for a wedding tour, the best wishes of their many friends following them where e'er-they'may go. : ’ i AMOS,.

All on board the train were consid erably under theinfluence of Holland Gin;’ and when ;about three miles from town one of the brakemen, (an imported railroader) fell overboard. The .conductor, who is a gtaunch . Radical, gfig was forwerly a” city lord, neglected to give the proper signal for. stopping the train, and' the poor unfortunate who had fallen over was almost forgotten.

4 ‘ For the National Banner. Draining Marshes. In the last week’s issue of the BANNER Inoticed an article on the value of “Marsh Lands,” by Mr. Hudson. In my opinion he son the right 'i‘.rag:k exactly. Marsh lands are at least double the value of any other land in this section of country for all manner of farming purposes, if they are properly drained, as they contain the most valuable properties of the higher surroundings by ‘the constant washings into them. This is plainly peiceptible beside the continual decay of. vegetation going on within them. If any farmer will try the experiment of hauling out g:om these marshes during the dry season 8- many loads of muck, or peat, as he chooses to, and dump it into his barnyard, in order to absorb the liquid part of the manure that goes'to waste, and the next season cart it out again en to his upland, he will find bimself richly repaid for all his trouble and expense. ..

But, in order to drain these mfirshes, there is a mich better method ‘than the general one.adoptéd{in- this region from my . observations, and with much less work and expense from beginning to end. Instead of following up the lowest part of the marsh to be thus drained, where the water flows naturally, and almost invariably in a circuitous course, and by dint of digging & deeper channel for a ditch, ‘which will be constantly filling up again’ to be-reopened, and then at most you'have only lowered the water over the surface of the marsh but a very few inches, and ‘the labor thus spent in ditch wading is ‘not of much account. Now the majority of these marshes are spring marshes, or what might be called the “cropping oat” from the higher surroundings, _suppo§el j'that'a good observation is first taken of the plat that is to be drained, and if w_eJ can strike at the * fountain head” our object is much more easily attained. Thus a good ditch dug.around the uppor t:éxge‘ or border of the marsh, along the lipe of “cropping out,” we-cut the source of the water from the surface and save this lower land- from being so[aked with water to the exact depth that we dig the ditch and all possible danger-of filling up is excluded}; while it is. labor saved in digging and much dryer work. Many {parts of the drain will have to be made deeper than others, no doubt, on account of an arm of high land running out into the marsh, butwhat of that? Any farmer in this country is intelligent enough to improvise his own “machine” to survey the ground and get the proper level and fall there should be to run the water off. So, takean ordinary spirit level (two feet long) tack s strip across one end, on top, one quarter,of an inch square, cut a'slight notch in the center like the hind sightof-a gun, at the other end make also a front.sight 'of precisely the same hight as it is from the bottom of the notch 'behind to,the top of the, level ; then make a stake three feet, lonig with a top-piece on which to place the level, with a mark on the bottom to note the distance that‘it should be pushed in the grourd every time that it is-to be moved. NOE’ to commmence your survey push the stake in, just to the mark below, then move tie top to and fro till thelevel stands correct, pointing the direction you ‘wish' to run the line; place a boy, or a man, with a pole, say tweléve feet long, as far in advance so that you can see it distinctly through the sights on the level; let him move his band, or any object, up or down on the pole till you have the exact range. Then measure the distance from his hand to the ground, deducting the height -of the stake upon which the level rests, and you have the nymber of feet or inches gained or lost. - Place your stake in the same spot where the pole rested and let the pole be earried ahead again. Keep tally of your gains and losses to' the end of the line, and the amount of fall you can obtain for the ditch ig easily come at. You can also tell how ‘deep it is necessary to dig the ditch at any given pointalong the line. Ihave fitted up a rig of this kind upon several occasions.— While it answers the purpose completely it is so simple and easily contrived that any person of ordinary capacity can use it. I may have more suggestions td make upon this subject at another time. < : * N.ED, —_————————

Stunner” gave a report of the proceedings of the first week of the February Term, of the Court ot Common Pleas of this county, and in a playful way gave an account of the mode of proceedure in obtaining decrees for. divorce, which the nninformed may take for granted is the ordinary way in which such business is conducted. The comments made were not'intefided as a reflection. upon Judgs Clapp’s integrity and honesty as.aijudicial officer, or as a reflection upon the members of the bar of thiscounty. A-copy of a petition, upon which a decree was granted, was set forth to show thatourstatutes authorized courts to grant divorces for any cause which in the discretion of the court they may deem it proper. i 14 : Reflections and .censure, if any cause exists for such, should be directed in the proper. way and to the fountain head—our law makers—who alone are responsible for the looseness ot our statute in this respect. s L.
