| ‘Teachers’ Assoeiation.

~ In response to a call for an association of teachers;to be beld at Ligonier on the 25th ult., a number of teachers assembled in the school building at 10 o’clock, A. M., and proceeded to effect an organization by électing J. E. Braden Chairman, and W. C. Latta Secretary. A committee was selected to arrange a programme of exercises, and submitted the following : “Ferenoon Session.—lllustration and method of teaching “ Word ‘Method,” by Messrs. Bossworth, Kirkland, and Miss Beach. -

- Afternoon Session.—Reading by Miss Loomis; Arithmetic by C. G. Fait; Grammar by Wm. H. Kirkland ; School Government by J. H.

Much interest was manifested by those present, and if such organizations were kept up, a more;uniform system of teacfling would be secured that would result in the greater efficiency of our schools. :

The Rev. 8. H. Rhodles delivered a very fine address Jh education, in the evening. . 1 J. H. H. i O P eee An lmln‘stv,riou’- Congressman. The most industricus member of Congress is doubtless the Hon., M. C. Kerr, from the Second District of this State.— During the past three weeks he has delivered three carefully prepared speeches —ocne on the McGarrahan claim, another on national education, and more recently one on the radical enforcement law. All of these speeches required arduous study, especially the two first named, and as Mr. Kerr must neeessarily have devoted considerable timei to their preparation, it is safe to assert tbat no otber member of Congress has performed an equal awiount of labor during the same period. Verily, the Democracy of the Second District ‘have just cause to pride themselves of their able and distinguisbed member of Congress. el # P, ‘METROPOLITAN STAR CoMPANY.—This theatrical troupe is posted for Thursday, Friday and Satutday evenings at Kann's Hall, when they will present a varied programme of popular plays, selected from the following : Rip Van Winkle ; Under the Gas Light ; East Lynne, or the Elope‘ment; Uncle Tom's Cabin ; The Sea of Ice; and Shakspeare’s grand tragedy of Othello, or the Moor of Venice, with sidesplitting afterpieces each evening. The troupe is composed of sixteen actors;.and, with Mr. T. G. White at the head, is spoken of by leading papers as a first-class ‘organization. 'ln:%eaking of Mr- Whate's rendition of the character Rip Van Winkle, the Decatur Daily Magpet says that the bnly reasor that be is not Joe Jeffer—son, is' that he is old Rip Van Winkle himself. His reputation in other parts is as great as in this popular character, and claiws to be well supported.

' Tug festival given by the Ligonier Cornet Band on Wednesday evening last was a complete success, both as regards the entertainment of the large number in attendance and the receipts at the door and tables. The ladies deserve especial praise for the magnificent and bountiful mcanner in which the gables were loaded with substantial food jand delicacies.— ‘We are requested to extend the thanks of the members of the Band to the citizens for their liberal patronage and assistance; to the goliciting ,committee for their efforts in supplying the tables ; to Miss Jennie Braden for a fine painting execu—ted and donated for the occasion, and to ‘W. A. Brown for framing the picture.— The picture sold for $l6. | The total receipts were $l3O, and the amount netted reaches $lOO. The organization is now out of debt, with about $4O in the treasury.

It has not been many weeks since we informed our readers that a boy had fired two barns in Mercer county, whereupon the: BANNER asked us ‘where 43 Mercer county ? Will the BANNER pleagse answer ?— Rochester Sentinel.

Certainly, You can find a Mercer county in Illinois, ditto in Kentucky, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia; but if you are very anxious to form an acquaintance with the individual who was too poor to take a ‘paper, but could easily spare §94 to invest in counterfeit greenbacks, just procuré 3 ticket for the oil regions, and your curiosity will probably be gratified. - “Those barns,” however, were not located in “Mercer” county, Bro, Metcalf.— Noble county, Indiana, claims the dis‘tinguished honor of counting among its ‘inhabitants a youth who thought it such “fun” to dzive out rats by firing the barn,

‘What ‘H. @’ Knews About Farming. H sek eNOINER. . Horace Gregley had thg great, good fortune to be born while yet quite young, and immediately after steps were taken for bringing him up. At & very early age he exhibited ‘remarkable fondness for the noble art of agriculture and premature baldness. : ] : He conceived farming to bq his forte, and at once bent his gigantic brain to the pursuit of that classic profession. To walk through meadows whose waving potato tops brushed his ear wae to him the source gf ecstatic bliss; apd when at last tlie golden wheat was ready for the woodman’s axe his cup of joy was full. He first began to turn deep furrows with a goose quill on a rich and “fertile farm in the city of New York—-known as the “Newspaper Row” farm—a part of which he himself now owns. R |

His greatest ambition was to earn his bread by the sweat of a hired,u\lan’slbmw, in fulfilment of the scriptural injunction. ' He knew .not what it was to get lazy, and, although now quite far advanced in years, heiattributes (and justly, too) his vigor of frame, his strength of muscle,: his clearness of intellect to the healthful and hearty exercise of reclining in the shade, wtching the mowers gaily swinging their sawing machines, digging their wheat, mowing their turnips, and raking and binding their spring potatoes. - - 5 Afterg many years of close application not only to the theory but to the practice of geographical and zoological pursuits, he gave to the world the results of his rich experience in a series of articles entitled, “What I know about farming, by H, Greeley.® ', ‘ In these articles he informs us how, on bright summer mornings, arrayed in a gorgeous chew of tobacco, he went forth' when the dew was on the moonbeams, with a steam' power pn'jnti:x;g press sv"t'ung'i lightly over his shoulders, to cut his winter's wood. How, with merry heart and joyful song, he dipped into iis huckle: berry marsh to gatber his watermellons, and celery, and sorghum molasses. - In the barn-yard, no less-than in his smoke-house, surrounded by the cackling of hogs, and the bleating of chickens,and | the busy hum of his spring calves, was his joy complete. = s oy

He tells us how to make our summer’s hay in the merry month of February ; to gather our strawberriee after the first good fall of snow ; to fodder our chickens in the diary, tongve our hogs their oats and hay three times a day; and put all our swine and hogs, our stock and cattle, our poultry and chickens snugly upon the well-sweep before retiring to rest ourselves.

" He tellsus when to set and when to lay our bens; when to'plant and whe? to reap ; when toimend and when to go forth in the glorv of moonshine and harvest: From the shores of the north pole to the icébergs of the tropics these articles have been read and their méx‘ii’tsi fully tested, and all with universal satisfactory. In our own midst H. Greeley has many warm friends and sympathetic readers, but none less so than our distinguished fellow-citizen, J. 8., Lockhart, Esq., who has enthusiasticaily devoured each and every production of his great favorite, from the “Recollectionsof a Busy Farm Life” to his “Innocents -Abroad.”

Having a mnatural as well asa highly cultivated taste for agricultural pursuits he, of course, obeyed implicitly the instructions of his friend, H. G.,.in such matters, ; Lol g

Wishing to recline under his own vine and oak tree during ‘the sultry days of March, he procurgd a pint ot grape seeds, plantea them carefully and then attached one end of a two inch rope to the seed and the other to the top of a turnip vine, to give it a chance to.climb~-a la Greeley. He watched his infapt experiment daily, and, to keep off bed bugs and vermin occasionally squirted a healthy gob of the essence of the natural leaf upon the tender vine. Weeks and months passed and still rno effort was put forth by the little plant ‘to climb. The rope is now used for.a swing’by the neighbor's children. Although this first experiment was farfrom a brilliant success; yet the faith of our neighbor 1n the teachings of the veteran farmer is unshaken, and the failure is attributed to the condition of the soil, the healthfulness of the seed, and ‘the' quality of the natural leaf; but Greeley is still right, and with a faith firm as the eternal principles of justice our neighbor .iclings to his beau ideal. ‘ ity Steve is & great admirer of a berry known as cherry, and for the purpose of raising for himselt this delicious beverage, procured several. gross of 4 No. 1 brand and had them carefully set out—and watched them with parental solicitude.— They at once took root aad for awhile flourished like a “green bay horse” but in course of time a little quadruped—a native of New Zealand, known astheP.’ Mire—threatened the life of the cherries. Steve flew at once to his vade mecum, Greeley,’ and thére read “ pour on kerosene.” He poured—a pail full or two.— The “critters” still live, but the trees have gone where the “woodbine twineth,” and a future G. Washington bas nothing left in that yard to try hig abilities in telling \ a little white lie—or il;;:new hatchet. ¢ ‘One more instance ‘and we have done, Steve wanted hay for his poultry, aud, in compliance with the instructions of H. Greeley, hired a friend to bring around bis sawing maching and lift the sod over. The sod, for two rods, was lifted and two .quarts of clover to one of timothy chucked m. The seed torgot to come ,up, and | again the sod is turned ‘and thg?quaut‘ity originally lowered, duplicated. e In anticipation our neighbor hires one man tosaw 1t off and another.to cart away the surplus;; In his mind’s eye he sees the usually slénder spears spread and thicken and 'swell until they assume the gigantic propoftions of California whop ger‘s, and reaching far up into the ethereal lue. And for the purpose of giving them all the sea room necessary leases his neighbor's lot, and the privilege is obtained from our city fathers to blockadé! the streets west and north of his premises, ‘and also the public square.. There can be no failure this time for that lot is as rich | lin fertllity as Croesus was in U. 8. nickels, . The harvest at last comes round and so does the reaper, with a cross cut saw, a fine tooth comb, and a maul and tooth-pick., But, alas! for human expectations. In. stead of clover and timothy there stands a rfgg harvest of gimpson, dog-fennel, | sparrow grass, sun flowers, gerranium, and cotton, with a sprinkling of fine cut and soda crackers. Saee ]

Something must be wrong, and for the purpose of further testing the rich experience of H. G., Steve has engaged two barrels of hen fertilizer and will ‘next turn his attention to strawberries. : *‘Oh! fora faith that will not shrink ’*

Barking Up the Wrong Tree.

Eprror NATIONAL BANNER :—II noticed in the last issue of the Kendallville Standard (a copy of vqhich was handed me by a frignd) that the editor had gotten his ire up to a high pitch-over an article in your paper purporting to have been written by one who calls himself “Raw Hide No. 2. I presume, however, that said No. 2 is no blood relation of the editor's Old Grizzly of Lagrange—Elijah Wier. I'am happy to iuform the Standard man that I did not write the article to which bhe alludes: but judging from fthe style and tone, I am gatisfied that if “Raw Hide, No. 2 " cannot bring the claret with the lash, he can most effectually trump him with the pen. 8o let No. 2 shoot again. : g ’

- As faras being a Billy Williams appointee, or ever asking one frem him or any other person, the statement is simply as false as it is unjust. That I was introduced toGen. Milo S. Hascall by the editor of the Standard, and that I did do what I ¢ould for the General, snd voted for him, Ido not deny. And that the Standard man did all in his power for the success of the General, and that he.induced all he could to go with him, I will not deny ; But he must have been worth a bid, for at the end where wds he? That I was once & candidate before the republican caugus of this county, and that C.’o. Myersiurged me to come before the people, is the truth. No man in the' county can truthfully say that I'ever sought a bid for anything, and I now say that what little I did last October to help change some matters, I did from-principle. A 3 jone of the sovereigngof this country I hold that I have theright to vote for whom I please, but Ido nob think it looks well for a man of so pure a political record to refuse to go“into a politicad - convention, and then go'against his own candidate.. -: - In regatd to the editor’s preference of “ 0. Paque” tb myself, I adopt the principle of the Dutchman, who, on being told by a man: “I would rather eat witha hog than you,” replizd : “ That sboost depends on how you ’ve been prot up.” .

The Standard man.intimates that the article alluded to was penned by me, and that the “rebel” BANNER had given me a slui'cevya“y for my Billingsgate, and refused to publish the same article he had refused, which intimation he knows and sees i 9 false. - 3 .

This No. 2. article was penned (i.e. in this high-toned editor’s judgment) by ope of the most insignificant individuals residing in a, very insignificant community, sit uate somewhere in this most insignificant portion of God's creation. lam only further dmpelled to.reply to the sentiment suggested, by an old tin-horn sole which ‘ has lately annoyed our sensibilities, “ Shoo iﬁy, don’t bodder me.” = - In view of the fact that the cunning Standard man hit where he misée_d before, I.am at a loss to know ef(_)r what purpose he is permitted to-live. I can only think of one purpose, yiz: e&s"an. evidence of to‘tal depravity.. I think I am correct, and ‘methinks that when God Almighty rofls this world together asa scroll, He will roll this would-bé knowing editor up-in a cloth of putrifaction and throw him off in some forsaken corner, there to stink, ‘and rot throughout eternity; | R J. Z. GOWER.

Important Decision by the Supreme ' . . Conrt,

~ The Supreme Court rendered an important opinion yesterday, in the case of a suit on an official bond, the Clerk being ‘dead. The suit was brought against the ‘sureties only, for money paid into open court and handed to the clerk, with answer of tender, for the purpose of keeping the tender good, and for which the Clerk gave his receipt as such. The Court held there is no law in this State rendering the securities liable, there being no law making it the duty of the Clerk to receive such money.— Ind. Sestinal, Feb. 28d.

MEDICINES, FOR HUMORS.

L 4 v ' These invaluable medicines have achieved'a complete triumph in'éradicating Humorsof all kinds from the human system. They were introduced to the public some sixteen years since and -have been used with entire success. The Canker and Salt Rheum Syrup is taken internally, which cleanses the blood by throwing impurities to the surface, when the Cerate is applied externally, and all eraptions are destroyed, and health and beauty arerestored. Their: astonishing success hascalled out many ignorant pretenders, who have introduced their wonderful preparations to the public. They are out in 'alxgo:lt}efveryh form, froub;inaceas gown to Pills, and all for | Or 8: course they are.) . ‘But it has g?;n resegrv'ed to Dr. Wq{aaver’s Syrup and Cerate to achieve what, under the circumstances, may be regarded as the most brilliant triumph yet achieved by any medicine ever introduced to the American public. Whg is. this? . Bimply because they perform what they promise ; and Botwithstanding the introduction of these new and wonderful preparations to the public, the Salt Rheum Syrup and Cerate keep steadily on their way, conquering as they go.: If the public wish to try these new preparations we have not a word to say, for they have-a sire remedy to fall back upon, viz: Dr. WEAVER'S CAnkER and SALt Rmnf‘xnun and CeRATE.+ OF this fact the public are well aware, for'thou--Bands in all sections of the country have been cured by them, after all other remedies have utterty failed”~ * = > °° - J.

WALTHAM WATCHES.

The extensive tse of these watches for the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engincers and Expressmen,the most exacting of watch-wear-ers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy.of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects, is o decide the question asto the real value of thiese time-keepers. L o More than 500,000 of these watches aré now epeaking for themselves in the pockets of the peo~ ple--a proof and a guarantee of their superiority over &ll others. 2 iy e o

The superior organization and great extent of the Company’s Works at Waltham, enablés them to produce watches at a price which renders competition futile, and those who buy any other watch simply pay from 25 to 50 per cent. more {or their watches than is necessary. - )

These time-pieces combine every improvémenk thata long experience has proved of real practical use. Having had the refnsal of nearly every invention in watch-making originating in this country or in Earople,only those were finally adopted which ‘gsevere testing by the most skillful artesans in our works, and long use on the part of the public, demonstrated to be essential to correct and enduring time-keeping. ' : % . ! Among the many improvements we wo d: parparticularize: bl S ’ ' The invention and use of a centre-pinion of peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the train by the breakage of main-gprings, is original with the American Watch Company, who, havingDhad the refusal of all other contrivances; adopted Dodson & Fogg's patent pinion as being the best and faultless. S . ! .

-‘Hardened and teme‘emd hair-springs, now universally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best, are aged in all grades.of Waltham Watches, All Wal thamgWatches have dust-proof caps, protcﬁt‘m%' the movement from dust, and lessening the necessity of the frequent cleaning ncecessary in other watches. N e - g

‘Our new patent.stem-winder, or keyless watch is already a decided success, anda ireat improvement on any stem-winding watch in the American market, and by far the cheapest watch of its quality now offered to tlégdpumic.. To thoge living in portione of the Unitod States where watchmakers do not abomnd, watches with the above-mentioned improvements which tend toinsure accuracy,cleanliness, durability and convenience; mngt prove invalaable. i & \
