RE DISTRICTED,—At 8 Bpecial meeting of the Town Council, on Saturday evening, the several Wards of Ligonier corporation were re-districted as follows : _First Ward—All that part south of 6th gtreet. o W +* Second Ward—All that part between 6th and 4th streets, = |~ " Third Ward—All that part’ between _4th and 2nd streets. “Fourth Ward—All that part between 2nd street and the Railrodd.- : 7 Fifth Ward—All that part north of the Railroad. = .~ = | L It will be noticed that all .the Wards ‘are now divided by lines running east and west, and that in point of territory and population the apportionment js much more squal than under the former arrange‘ment. The change is a very excellent one, and the Board of Trustees are enti “tled to the thanks of the community for their prompt action in t.be"‘prem_,i'mg

'FaTAL AcCIDENT.—A terribly fatal ac-. cident occurred on Saturdaylast to Abram Stark,” who-resided 41¢ miles south of this place, while engaged in removing a small building. ~ Mr. Stark attempted to pass in front of the stracture while in mpotion, and bis left lowet extremity was caught between it and a small stump, which lacerated the'anterior portion of the skin and tissues, presenting a horrible sight. Two surgeons from this place were immediately summoned and found the knee joint erushed, together with the upper portion of the bones below the knee a 8 well.as several inches of the femur,— The limb was immedistely amputated ‘sbout four inches below the hip joint.— Owing to. the terrible shock to the nervous system,/the poor sufferer died in a few minutes after the operation. Mr. Stark was one of our most estimable christian citizens. He. leaves 8 wife apd several childrem to mourn his sad end.

THR MANNER in which our businees men are awakening to the necessity of advertising liberally is truly gratifying to usgnot-only pecuniarily, but as an indication thet they inténd to conduct their business in such & way that, it will be advantageous for the people to trade with them. Advertisers invariably make the best show possible for themselves, and we honestly *believe that there is not an advertiser in"this paper but will honestly fulfill all his published promises. Any of our readers who wish to purchase dry goods, clothing, groceries, hard ware, boots and shoes, drugs, books and stationery, furniture, or need the serviges of an attorney or physician, lh‘o'ﬂiﬁﬂsdlt» our aid vertising coltimns as best means of posticg themselves 8 to where they "can dothebest.” ' ¢

THE ELRCTION 10r corporation officers will be held at the office of James McConnell, on Monday next, as will be noticed trom the oﬂ?clsl announcement in another column. Politics is very generally eschewed by our citizens, it being P earpest desire of the community that. efficient officials be placed at the head of our Ibesl government rather than engage in p-‘llen squabbles over offices without political significance. The convention on Saturday exhibited a spirit of unanimity never beforé witnessed in & caucus held in this place for & like purpose. =

People’s Convention. Pursuant to call, the citizens of Ligonier met in convention in the Town Hall, on Saturday evening, April 22nd, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the various corporation offices. The meeting ‘was called $p order by J. B. Btoll, upon whose hotiﬁ' E. B. GERBER was elected Preside&t. The object of the meeting being stated by the chairman, J. W. HiaGINBOTHAM, was on motion-of L. H. Green, was chosen Secretary. i

“Mr. Btoll then stated that the Board of Trustees had re apportioned the corporation into new wards, so as to make them more equal in point of territory and -populution. With a view of enabling the convention to seléct the several candidates for Trustees from the Wards in which they resided under the new apport'iox;:ment, he moved, the appointment of a committee: of thrée, to rgpoft 'gﬂmes"’of suitable persons for such Trustees. The ‘motion was agreed to; and the following gentlemen appointed” committee: L. J. Dunning, F. Beazel, and J. 8. Lockhart. " The nomination of a candidate for Marshal was next in order. Capt. Joseph E. Braden, P. A. Carr,and W. R. Hicks were proposed. A ballot being taken,: the result was announced as follows: Braden 28, Carr 6, Hicks 5. Braden declared nominated. e

For the office of Treasurer, J. M. Chap. man and L. H. Green were placed in nomination.. The latter emphatically declined, and Mr. Chapman nominated by acciamation. Eeay 3

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.—On Friday evening last the wife of Dr. David Coover, of Goshen, was sick, and the Doctor insisted on administering chloral, which she re. fused to take, claiming that it was dangerois. In order to convince her that there was no danger in taking the medicine he took an ordinary dose, and within 8 short time-hé again took a large portion of the drug. # deep sleep almost immediately followed, and within thirty min. utes the Doctor had breathed his last.— Medical sid was promptly summoned, but their efforts to restore life were unavailing. Chloral is comparatively a new drug, and is not dangerous ‘when used in a proper manner. It isa liquid compound of chlorine, carbon, and oxygen, obtained by ‘the action-of chlorine upon alcohol, | '

Owine to the largely increased business, i Indisha, of the “Home Insurance Com. pany of Columbus, 0.,” the State Agent, Mr. E. D. Miller, has found it necessary to remove to the city of Indianapolis, which will hericeforth be his headquarter. Mr. Miller; since his appointment to the position of State Agent for that company, ‘has exhibited a degree of energy and zeal scarcely to be excelled, thereby winning the confidence and high appreciation of its officers. “ His vast experience in the insurance business, and his peculiar fitness for the position cannot otherwise than largely sugment the business of the “ Home ” in this State. =~ 2

York Center Loecals and Otherwise. ' “York Towxsmip, April 24, 1871,

“Tbe day is cold, and dark and dreary,” bas been the appropriate psalm for several days past, but we live in hope of the good time coming. Many industrious ‘indi: viduals have made garden, and planted their early potatoes three weeks ago, and now have come to the conclusion that the seedlings, instead of coming up have goue the other way. Shouldn’t wonder. = :

'The wide awake young man, engaged as teacher of the summer school at the Center school house, has thrown up the chalk unceremoniously, and has lit out, to scratch for a court house rat in Albion. Another exit has been made, by the family that ‘lived by the famous stave factory, near the Center.” The good:woman of the house, armed with an ax, bursted in a part of the factory building, and committed sundry acts of a temper-cooling nature, all because she was mad at “her feller” who was working inside. Becoming tired of this, she gathered up her featbgr bed, and left for the county seat ; her husband followed soon'after, and quiet reignd once more. - :

Thereis another fever that has raged for Qquite a while he’ﬁj beside Railroad fever. It is also road fever, however, and from appearances the climax has been reached. A petition was gotten up not many months ago, for the purpose of running the road through omn; the isection line, across the. “Gunder mill-pond” — now owned by Mr. Drake; and vacating its present route. Then a remonstrance followed, and so it continued, until two sets of viewers had done what they could; and then, a private road was granted, which leaves the old road open yet. But nothing daunted, the petition men”‘a_re beginning to build the road ‘dcross said will-pord, and are piling in brush with an ‘energy worthy of the cause. It will ‘be an expensive job, for the pond—which has been drained —will have to be bridged substantially, - but we’ would do it, if it teok-ten years; therefore, we: wish them success. If every read was where it ought to be; there would be more-good feeling, satisfaction, and order—in fact it would be nearer right. : : . - Improvements gradual ; one building—dwelling house—is almost finished, snd several are going up. A youpg man havfug purchased the Linn school house=which was vacated forthe one at Pleasant Grove—has removed it to a better site for ahome. This looks a little as if there might be a union of hearts and hands, gsometime in the dim seen future.

Fox hunting is now on the tapis here ; several have been caught in our immedi-, ate neighborhood, and yet they are quite nunrerous. One ueighbor has lost over twenty chickens, this spring, from the raids of these sagacious animals. Atother neighbor has caught & young fox, and is trying tb tame him; they promise the little cub all the little chickeng that may happen t 6 have the gapes; if he will only come to terms, .

'We would suggest to the somebody that goes a mile every Sunday morning to dorrow the BANNER, to just remit two dollars to the editor and !hgve it all to himself ; as somebody elsé doesn’t care to lead tke new paper so regularly. : i ‘ " AUDIO..

Cireuit Court—April Term, 1871. SYNOPSIS OF FIRST WEEK'S PROCEEDINGS. On the 17th inst. the Noble Circuit Court convened at Albion, with: the Hon. Hiram 8. Tpdsley upon the bench, Col. Wm. C. Williams behind the Clerk’s desk, Sheriff Hough every where, ind. Jas. MecGrew, Esq., ot Warsaw, Prosécuting at torney, ready to do the bidding of the Grand Jury. Imgx_ediately afgr’the usual “Hedr ‘Ye! ' Hear Ye!” the following householders and freeholders ofthe county. were empannelled as the Grand Jury : John 8. Ohlwine, Francis M. Stage, John Walker, John Rivir, Wim. Davi, ‘George Haryey, Wm. B. Dunn, Jackson lddings, Edwin Randali, Robert S; Cooley; Bamuel Woodruff, and James C. Stewart. =

His Honor, after “plainly ' instracting them as to their duty,” appointed Wm. B. Dunn, Esq,, as their Foreman. . The Grand Jury remsined in session ‘out th'r?e days, having found during their sitting six indictments; and after making asatisfactory. report as to the condition of the Jail, were discharged for the term. There were eighty-three cases upon the .civil and nineteen cases upon the criminal docket— an unusual number of civil cases being litigated. ! - A ; During the week judgments were rendered for over ten thousand dollars. The famous Blair ‘case having been sent back from the Supreme Court, with instructions for a new trial, has been taken on change of venue to Lagrange county.

Two slander cases have been taken on change of venue to the Kosciusko Circuit Court, to/the disgust of gossip-loving Albio}ﬁez;\ : Caai

‘Three jury trials were had during the week, in one of which a verdict was re turned for the plaintiff ; in the other two, for the defendants on general principles. ' The. moet important cases upon the docket were ‘postponed until the second R, s . The “divorce: busigss was fearfully demoralized. Of the gine cases upon the docket, four were unceremoniously dis“missed, two continued, and two yet re_main upon the calendar. ~ .% .. . But one decree was granted, and that one for the benefit of the numerous Smith family. b ‘ Beveral interesting imcidents occurred during the week, but I.am warned that want of space necessitates brevity. | I am confident, however, that the at- | tempts of Judges Tousley and Morris in the German vernicular would read well, and be highly appreciated;by both German and English scholars, could it be properly and aecurately transcribed, * :

Among the distinguished Lawyers pres: ent were Hon. Jas. 8. Frazier, L. L. D, lateof the Supreme Court of the State; Hon. Wm. A. Woods, Capt’s'A. 8. Blake and J. A. 8, Mitchell, of Goshen; J. B. Wade, and Andrew Ellison, ot Lagrange; Hon, Joseph K. Edgerton, Judge Morris, and Mr. Miller, of F't. Wayne ; and Jas, I. Best, of Waterloo. '~ -~ '~ :

S .. The Frost. e s A destructive frost killed nearly if not quite all of the fruit in this locality on Saturday night.” We have examined the grapes, plums, pears, peaches, cherries and strawberries, and find them nearly all killed. In some sheltered places, where the vines were protected by buildings, a few grapes escaped, but the destruction is so general that. what is left hardly deserves mention.—lndianapolis Journal.

In this section the f’rost did but very little damage. ) ; :

-+ 'Official Report of the Mansfield Trial: The attention of the public is invited to the following extracts from the official report of the Great Field Trial, held at Mausfield, Ohio, in the month of July; 1870, under the direction of the Ohio State Board of Agriculture. : b From the table it will be seen that the Buckeye not only has the lightest average ahd the lightest extreme draft, but also that it runs with far greater steadiness and uniformity of draft, the dynamometer showing a much smaller range of vibration for it than for other machines ; and.further that while the variation of draft in the average of all the machines tested'is SEVENTY-FIVE PER CENT. GREATER while cutting than when drawn out of gesr, id .the" BenNlorß BuckeYe the increase of variation s lese than fwelve per cent., and that the .ﬁmior Buckeye actually ran with greater steadiness ‘%nd uniformity of £'aﬂ while cutting than when out of gear—showing remarkable perfection of gearing and cutting apparatus, and consequent freedom from racking and giving of parts, which is the secret of the great durability of the Buckeye. -+ Read the Following from the Official Report:: “ The following scale of merits had also been agreed upon by the State Board : w 1 Quality of Work,,.....ccciootiliainniiiiiciioilioiliiinneaabinnaacaa...

AWARDS: - ““ Your Cummittee would respectfully recommend that the Premium Gold Medal for the best Mower be.awarded to-Aultnian, Miller & ~Co,iof Akron, Ohio, for their machine known as’ the Buckeye Senior. With the exception of the Buckeye Junior, made by the same Euty, and which is the same Machine, except in size, No'MACHINE EXAMINED did more perfect work, is more simple in plan, or more accurate In its mechanism ; none gave such evidence of dunblgty; Or was more manageable ; and with the exception of the Junior, before mentioned, mone bad so li{ht a draft orwaok quiet. easy, and uniform motion. In some respects the Junior Buckeye would beggntitled {0 the preference, but your committee are: persuaded, from tbe mechanieal principles involved, and from Fretty extensive observation, that machines as he¢ vy as the Buckeye Senior are decidedly preferable as Mowers to the smaller machines.” g ¥ AT , ~ e G CHAPM{&N&.CO:, 5 LT Ligonier, Indiana.
