The entire bridge will probably be completed by the latter part-of July. Wm. HiH is the builder. : — Gen, Milo 8. Mascall made a speech at Goshen, last Thursday, in support of . Horace Greeley and the Democratic State ticket. He pitcbed into the Grant party rough shod, and bandled the local Grant _ leaders without gloves. The General has | rolled up his sleeves, and will make it red hot for the Grantites, © . —A pleasant drive through the Fifth ~ ward (commonly called Canada), the other day, enabled us to notice the many improvements recently made in the streets of that locality by Marshal Braden. Immense quantities of gravel have been hauled to fill up “low spots” and give the people north of the river first class streets. —The neat condition of Cavin stieet—the business street of Ligonier—is the subject of general 'commendation by strangers visiting our thriving town, It is - generally conceded tbat no town in this part of the State can boast ot a superior business street. Marshal’ Braden deserves great credit for having put it in such excellent condition. b ~~We had a very pleasant call from our old friend, Rev. J. N. Barnett, ‘of White Pigeon, last Wednesday. The visit was all the more agreeable to us by resson of -the fact that we were laboring under the - impression that Mr, Barnett had long since removed to Ohio, He is the same genial companion as which we had learn. ed to know him six years ago. . —Our young townsman, Jesse L. Dunt ning, is 8 candidate for- the republicsn nomination for Recorder. Jesse is ins deed & worthy young man, and were it not for the fact that no Grant Republican can be elected in this county, we would be strongly tempted to wish him success in his aspirations.. As it is, our advice to friend Jesse is: Stand from " under, 8 g

—We wete agreeably 'surprised, the other day, whilst driviog through different parts of town, to notice the many improvements that bave been made this spring in remodelling, renovating, sad “‘reconstructing” private residences, beautitying yards, aud erecting substantial sidewalks. The matter of planting shade teees has also received commendable attention. Taking all In all, we felt con . siderably rejoiced over thie spirit of en . terprise and the good taste displayed by our citizens, . ! 5

~ Kendallville Correspondence. | ¢ KeEXDALLVILLE, IND, June 24. MR. EpIToR :—The results of the State convention at Indianapolis, on the 12th, inst., is highly gratifying to every one---even Republicans say that it is a very strong ticket, Mr. Hendricks is perhaps the best known man in the State to day. Along with "his great intelligence is his pure private character, two points which the people demand or ought to demand in one whom they choose to represent them' in any official capacity. Mr. Hendricks never has been charged . with dishonesty. How unlike some of the great(?) men we might name, and who adhere to the present administration. And. what we have said of Mr. Hendricks is true of the ballance of the ticket. Mr. Editor, the people of this city are well pleased with your nomination ; first, that you justly meritec it, and second, that a citizen of Noble county has been selected to fill a place on the State ticket is a matter of which we all feel proud. And while our Statesticket is so bighly satisfactory, let us look at the merits of the two men who are put forward for the Presidency—Greeley and Grant. The one great by his own efforts, the other great by accident; the one a great giver of charity, the otbier the great object of charity ; the one who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, the other who earns bis bread at' Long Branch ; the one representing the people, the other a ring of office holders ; the oné in tavor of civil rule, the other in favor of military rule; the one in favor of amnesty applied to all our diffierences during tbe past twelve years, the other opposed to it; the one a true Republican, and the other a would be Autocrat, and, in the language of Hamlet, “the ome & man, the other a wmonster.” 3 ; :

The street authorities are doing considerable work on Main street, grading it down so that the water will run to the north and to the west. This is an improvement long needed, and if successtul the citizens will be well pleased. Judge Tousley spent the greater part of last week with us, shaking bands with almost everybody be met. The Judge did Dot tell everyone what he meant, but we presume some of his friends did. There is quite an element here opposed to hith, which he is trying to overcome. Our public school has closed for the. summeér vacation. On last ‘Friday the school had a pic-nic in the grove north of the railroad. The children, accompanied by their teachers, made a fine appearance a 8 they marched through the streets to the grovye. el

Reed & Hill are making some improvements in and around their sash and blind factory. ; Bill Groh’s Early Rose potatoes have brought forth (ruit. - On the 15th ot this month, and again on the 28d, our table was liberally supplied with a nice lot of them.! - : ¢ ‘ Our Circle Manufacturing Company have moved their machinery into their new building near the Grand Rapids de: pot. They will put in a new engine and make some other improvements. Joseph Knox is foreman. ;

Noble county has furnished:one Member of Congress, one Judge of the Circuit Court, one Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and will furnish the next Auditor of State and, perhaps, the next ‘Congress. man from the Tenth District. - Our citizens should be proud of these honors. We had another collision on' the Air Line Railroad. An engine ran into aca boose car a week ago last Sunday morning awith considerabie damage to both The citizens of Kendallville met in the Mitchell Hall on last Thursday evening to see what could be done further to secure the location. of the Canada Soutkern Railroad on this line. Quite a large num {ber were in attendance. - It was resolved ‘that John Mitchell should go to New York and, in connection with the gentle - men from Ligonier, should say to the company that in addition to the right of way we would make a donation of $4O 000, that being the amount of your tax and ours. He was also instructed to look closely into the matter and ascertain whether the company were in earnest in regard to our ling, or simply using us asa cat's pawto make the northern line pay largely, and 1f the lattér was found to be their object to make them no offer. _ We'hnv'e“ @ prospect for anotber railroad, and if built Kendallville will be the eastern terminus. The company has been organized and the surveyors. will be.at work soon. It is to run west through Warsaw and connect with a road in lilinois. L e

~The greét topics of conversation with us are “politics” and “potato bugs.” When ever two or mare’ persons meet, the'fist question is: “What are Greeley’s chances for the Presidency ?” and after that, “How much Paris green will i; take.to kill an acre of potato bugs?” ; ‘ Our Fire Companies are making great preparations for the coming “fourth.” Everybody is invited to attend. Come, and spend one day in rembrance of our revolutionary fathers. . The friends of Mr. L. A. Goodwin will present his name as a candidate for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, at the Democratic and Lioeral Republican Convention, to be held soon after the Baltimore convention. HORACE.

Ovußr|townsman, I. E. Knisely, was delegated to go to New York to look aftet the interests of Ligonier in the location of the Chicago and Capnada Southern Railroad. |John Mitchell, also, is there in the interests of Kendallville. The Board of Directors meet to-day to consider the merits of the several lines. We hope our friends will be ‘successful in securing the object gof their lmpoitw_gflon, Lutnerax CoNFERENCE,— The North. ern Indiana Conference of the Lutheran Church was in session at Millersburg, Elkw't county, from- last Wednesday to Sabbath evening, Rev.

: Masonic Celebration. ] ~ The celebration of the nnniversaory of St. John the Baptist, «u Monday, the ‘24th inst,, by the Masonic fraternity, came off in grand style and to the entire satisfaction and gratification of all concerned.: Duaring the forenoon the delegations from neighboring' lodges were re | ceived and escorted to the hotels by the Ligonier Cornet Band, assisted by the Albion Band, which arrived early in the day as a special escort to the Albion Lodge. At 114 p. a, a procession was -formed at ‘the old Masonic Hall and | marched to the Ligonier House, ‘where 1 they were joined by the Sir Klfiightg of 3cuth Bend Commandery. “The proces sion tken advanced up Cavin street and were joined by the Excelsior Lodge, No. 267, 1. 0. O. F., in front of their hall, and were assigned a place of honor in the procession, which being then complete, marched through a part of Sixth, Main, First, and Cavin, streets, under the direction' of Marshal J. E. Braden and to the music of the Albion and Ligonier Bands, alternately, to Kann’s Hall. At the hall the exercises were performed according to the published programme, the most interesting feature of whjch was the able and eloquent address of Rev. John Gur low, of Mishawaka. The procession was then re formed and marched to the new Masouic Hall; which was dedicated with the usual ceremonies by the following deputized grand officers : _ E. W. H. Ellis, G. M.; Wm. M. Clapp, D.G. M.:J. A. 8. Mitchell, G. 8. W;; Riffle,[]athaway, G.J. W 8. T Eldred, G. 8. D;; H. W. Wachorn, G. J.-D; F. Beazei, G. T.; H. R Cornell, G. .Sec'y; J. Quackenbush, G. T.; R, D. Kerr, Prin cipal Architect, and J. ¥, Braden, Grand Marshal. J L

After the close of the dedication ser. vices, a &»f thanks was severally given to the choir and the Albion and Ligonier Bands for their cheering and appropriate music ; to Rev. Bre. Gurlow for his interesting address; to the neighboring Lodges for their assistance, and to the odd Fellows for their manifestation of frateroa) affection. [he Lodge was then closed in peace and harmony. L In the évening a grand festival was held in Kann’s Hall, ,which was largely attended. We have not learned what the net proceeds were, but judging from the large crowd, and the lively manner in ‘which they ‘“went for” strawberrics, ice cream, &c , the praceeds must haye been very large. Let’s have another. = —— et i— RuNaways.—On last Thursday, Mr. J. C. Hoover's team, attacbed to a buggy, undertook to run away, bat ran against a circumstance in the shape of Tom Jackson’s dray, scattering a.,lgoad of fish kegs, belonging to Meyer Baum. The horses were secured and no further damage was done. e . A team belonging to a farmer, and attached to a lumber wagon, went through the streets the same evening at a breakneck speed. We suppose they are run. ning yet, as we havenot heard anything to the contrary, | L

A coop drink, eays an exchange, may be easily prepared from lemons; which can be kept for use in warm and sultry days.. Press out the juice and strain if, Remove all the.pulp from the peels, and boil them in water, in pm'portihq of a pint for a dozen pulps, to extract the acid. Boil a few minutes, then strain the water with the juice of the lemon, and put a pound of sugar to a pound of juice. Boil all ten minutes, and bottle. A teaspoonful of this lemon syrap in a glass of water makes a cooling and refreshing J{i'rink.

WE frequently hear of remedies and preventatives against.the ravages of pota. to bugs, but one of the simplest, safest and surest remedics is salt. ’f‘ake cne quart of common coarse salt to a wooden bucket full of water, and stir until the salt is zll dissolved. . Then hea’ the mix ture until it comes to-a boil, and put it in quart cans, and wbile hot, j&tch the ‘bugs and seal them up in the c ns ; or, a more simple way would be te tie a string around the bugs’ mouths so they could not bite the vines.

-PEOPLE who have set out shade trees this season ‘will do well to take some méeans to protect them from the hot sum mer sun. The circulation .in 'a transplanted tree the first season is weak, and frequently the bark on the southwest, exposed first, adheres to the. wood and then scales off. -A’board set up to protect the tree from the southwest sun will frequently save it, whereas if left witHout protection it may die. . :

| Are we to suppose that brother Stoll’s _a{nbition is gratified, now. that he has been elected a councilman of the second ward of Ligonier ? : The above appeared in the Lagrange Standard a few weeks ago. The answer was given on the 12th of June,

Fouxp.—On Saturday last, at the pic: nic, near Wolf Lake, a black coat was left in a buggy, and ‘brought to this place. The coat had been left there, no doubt, by one of the dancers, and he can have the same by calling at this office, proving property, and paying for advertisement. —_——re———— o SToLEN.—The person who stole a picture from the wall in Cornell's Photograph Gallery had better return the same immediately, or they will be pablicly ex~ posed through the columns of the BaNNER. ~ H.R.

It really seemed to us like entering another und higher sphere “in life that we never before knew to exist in this world. We must say that Sturgis is ope of the prettiest places we have ever seen—it is one beautiful grove of residences. The citizens are kind, generous and liberal, with the Spiritual element pervading all t.‘heir: actions. Many were the fiiendly faces. we met, some from a - distance, whom we never shall forget. o : o Everywhere on the route politics were discussed —Grant nowhere, Greeley everywhere. At Ke:iylle we met an old friend and’ brot goldier—Dora Comparet,—who already “knows a great deal about farming,” and is thoroughly Grees leyized. He is the same old Dora, and full of business.
