KENDALLVILLE, Mr. Epitor :—II believe all concar that it has been the coldest December ever known in thisj part of the State. Potatoes, apples, &c., have frozen generally, and the loss will be quite severe to many. Cellars which bave withstood the cold of former seasobs, succumbed to “Jack Frost” on that cold Sunday night of Dec. 924, | at | My friend, William Bunyan, has returned from his labors in the legislature. William, true to bis pledges, has scted in the interest of the rephblican party. He 80 promised bis friends on the day of his nomination, and an examination of the records will show that he did not deceive them. The infamous apportionment law. which he voted for will be sufficient eyidence to convince all of his adherence tohis promise. The disfranchising 'of American citizens should not be passed by umnoticed ; and the time was once when the people of Indiana would correct suchoutrages through the ballot box, but we can’t tell what they may do in these demoralized timcs. Then, while acting for his party he did not forget bimself, an of the most conspicuous measures of this session was thé law rais-. ing the pay of the members ‘from §5 to $8 per day. Now, fellow citizens, think of Bill Bunyan earnivg §8 a day! Why, my friends, the thing is an absurdity—Bill can’t earn that amount. i

The “Fat Contributor” came according to announcement, and delivered his lecture to an appreciative audience. His local hits were well received. Bill Bunyan was made to play the “big Ingun,” and Hartsuck never sings 1n his speeches “brought down. the house.” Columbus eat liis first Indian menl on Henderson lake, and the council held there was as wise as the 'Kendallville : ¢ity couneil. He kept his audience ina very happy mood, notwithstanding the cold night. W. W. Redfield, editor of the Norwalk Hzperiment, visited his. friends in this ‘place on Saturday and Sunday last. The Miller and Sprandel fight caused considerable excitement in our place. It was demonstrated that the woman, who was mixed up in the affair, is a ‘host when she gets mad. The result was fines to the amount of $ll, which goes to the credit of the citv. sl T

Ep. BANNER :—Christmas, with all its little joys, little” sorrows, and bitter cold weather, is over ; and I resume my letter to thc BANNER; notwithstanding the death of our favorite speckled chicken which froze to death when the thermometer stcod twenty degrees below zero. | Our Christmas tree passed off very | pleasantly. The ' fruits -it produced amounted to nearly $2OO. Mr. Mummert, the dusty miller, is still grinding at the mill making us méal and flour.... Mr. G. Schwab, the honest shoemaker, is on his bench early and late, shoeing the shoeless, and waxing strong in the merchandise thereof. .”. . . We boast of only one drugstore, now Wm. Roberts bas bought out.the interest of A. Franks, and is coining money, as Mrs. Partington i says, “That 1s so,I heard more than a dozen say 80.”....Mr. John Zimmerman ' seems to be doing a good business in his hardware store—keeps his own Dooks, and you will always see a copy of the BANNER on his counter. ' ; - Rev. Meredith preached last Sunday evening. His subject was “Heaven and Hell,” - He drew a very beautiful picture of heaven, for the good, and a very dark one for his satanic majesty below. The guestion now before our Bible cclass ig, “What is the difference between the ungodly man and the sinner ?” The question before the next Literary Society is— “Resolved, That the use of lintoxicat: ing liquors should be prohibited by law.” "~ We often wonder why persons with an aspiration fly over from ‘Kendallville to ‘Ligonier, If a spirit 'like Will Carleton or Davenport would drop down here, we Wawakians might catch an inspiration, and lend them our ears, : . Like all other towns, we have some se. vere critics, and some who sympathize with those who have an aspiration in their hearts to. elevate humanity. All honor, I say, to - men like Greeley, and others of kind, noble feelings, who have been overcome by that giant, public opin ion. O, wicked generation! How cruel to only eulogize after the grave covers them. Better let them live to enjoy the talent Heaven has given them until moons with them shall wax and wane no more, ' | _ - PRoGRESS, ——— e GREEN CENTER. - EplTor BANNER:— Perhaps a word from Green would not come amiss to the many readers of the BANNER. The epizootic is fast disappearing, and it reminds us of a dentist who has been doing business in this locality for the last eighteen months, till of late, about the time -his customers began to find they were bored, he got their money and disappeared, and knowing that redress by law would be as profitable as skinning a flea for the hide and tallow, we prefer to give him what 'he has got but we would warn sll others that they may not be swindled by the scamp a 8 the p‘eo;.le of this vicinity have been, We are favorable to 'éo'settqr’u stomach bitters, but these administered by @ scalawag dentist, we don’t stomach very. well, ' 'GREEN CESTER.

WOLF LAKE, * Ep. BANNER :—As the Wolf Lake Local of the Kendallville Standard has been ronning especially for my benefit for the last six or eight weeks, I would like in your columns to explain how I came to incur the displeasure of G. W. Roof, the author of these locals. The first, and only unpardonable sip, I am aware of baving committed against Mr. G. W. Roof, was in not supporting him for our winter. term of school. I was not alone in this, as twelve other: voters did like wise; but it would appear that lam to be held responsible for the actions of all: I supposed that a voter bad a right to cast his ballot at a school meeting as his better judgment dictated, same as at State or County elections ; but it’seems such is not the case. '

I bad supported Mr. ‘G. W. Roof for four terms of schouol previous to this, and I thought I bad just cause for mot.sup porting him for the winter term; and I am of the same opinion yet. Against Mr. Roof as a citizen I had nothing. My ob. jection was that he lacked energy in the school room. He admitted to me tbat a persou seeing him passing up and down our streets would naturally suppose that he lacked emergy; but when he got into the school room be was all enthusiasm and entered right into the duties ot the school. Mr. Roof feels very much inteiested for the tax papers of Noble township. A stranger would suppose that he wasamong the heayiest tax payers of the township. For the benefit of those who may read his articles in the Standard, 1T will give the amount of taxes paid by this gentle man for five years: . ' Lo For the year 1866...............8176 e W W NEEY ... B 8 0 RN T el AU R i Saans W UB3O ... .. ci 0843 Gr;nd RORRL. ...l BOLBR ‘The year 1871 I leave out, from the fact that it is delinquent. : : Mr. Roof pndoubtedly has paid a large amouut of unnecessary_ taxes, caused by the “ring” of Noble township, as be is pleaseéd to term myself and John Thum: ma, our former Trustee.

~Our township is one among the least on the tax list of Noble County. It is out of debt, and funds of all kinds are on hand to defray all necéssary expenses. The township is not bankrupt, as Mr. Roof would like to make it appear. : - Mr. Roof speaks of having receipts itemized so that people. may upderstand how matters are. So far as I am concerned, I can show the tax-payers (and delin, quents, too) all thejitems I have drawn money for, if they wish it. : It is passing strange that this man, baving been a resident of our towaoship for seven or eight years, should j_ust'dis cover thst this township bad been so bad ly'managed. I can’t accouant for ‘it in any other way than that this Civil Service reformer has suffered so many defeats that be has lost all.confidence in the pe» ple of this County, and moye particularly of this townehip. He baving first been defeated before the Republican County Convention as Candidate for County Recorder; then,at the township caacus of the Republicans ot Noble township, tor the office of Trustee; and thereafter defeated for our District school,—was-a little more than human pature could endure; therefore, I don’t know that he is to blame for venting his spleen on e, after consider ing the defeats he sustained coming so close thgether. e I don’t propose to carry on a warfare in writing. I hcld myself in reaainess to answer to any of my public acts concerning the affairs of this township; and as for the former Trustee, I bave nothing to say, presuming that he ‘has madea satisfactory report to the Commissioners of the County, or perhaps we would have heard of it ere this, C. R. WiLEY, o : Trustee Noble Twp. -

\ SAR AL Eb. BANNER :—Your Cromwell corres pondent of Dec. 18th, made a slight mi take in the name of the person who i generously provided dinner for the Cromwell choir—24 in number ; his name is John Weade instead of John Meade. Further, it is but justice to divide the honors of the splendid music furnished on said occasion about equally between Cromwell and Wolf . Lake, as the latter furnished one-half the number. -

The meeting still continues - with una: bated interest, although the weather has been very unfavorable so far. It may not be generally known that said “chap el” isone of the most substantial struc tures in the country, being built of brick upon a heavy stone wall, with particular reference to the worshipers -of ‘one hundred years to come.’ The size is 40x50 feet, is. well finished, has 'a’large, finetoned bell, is 7ot a model of architectara) beauty, but what is still better, is the fact that when dedicated to the service of the Lord,it had been paid for'by “other parties.” - v The Indian Village sehool and singing class are presided over this winter by H. L. Finley, being his fourth term of four months each. Theadvanced position occupied by the school is due ina great measure to the energy and: efficiency of

that gentleman. . ' R. Brown showed me a large butcher knife, a few days since, found by him near the top ot a large poplar tree recently cut down, which is evidently an old settler, and should be so registered. Appearances indicate that it had been concealed in some dry crevice about the top of the tree. The blade was covered with fine, black rust, which was easily removed, showing 'the English crown with the let ters [l. R.,and below these the name Rodgers. The handle was nearly consumed with dry rot. It has undoubtedly seen service among the Indians, as they were supplied with that kind of knives; but how came it‘in the tree top? . ~ Dec. 24, 1873, : SPARTAN.

MURDEROUS ENDING TO A GAME OF CaArps.—ln Lafayette township, Allen coynty, Dec, 25th, James Baker and Samuel Carpenter quarreled over a game of cards.

. CROMWELL. The water fawine is still prevailing in this vicinity. i . Our school, under the superintendency of Mr. Sherman Engle, is progressing finely. Although the school is quite large, the teacher seems to have complete control and is well liked by parents and pupils. As a teacher Mr. E. is second to none in the township—a gentleman of fine tastes and good moral culture. . : One more effort will be made to finish up’ the work of securing the right of way for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. We hope all bersxms who are interested along th: line will be reasonable in their demands, so that a permaaent location may be affected without any further trouble. . A stock building in this place is talked of by.some of the citizens of the town and vicinity. We hope the enterprise may be carried into effct. The “wind-work” is already done, which seems to be the beginning of all enterprises 1n this locality. . The epizootic took away a horse for Mr, Sheidon Cole, one night last week. The disease still prevails to some extent among farmers’ horses in this vicinity. ' We are informed that the meeting at the Christian Chapel, on Broadway, is still progressing with good results. : . Will some one please tell that man who would not contribute one dime for the relief of the poor, to read the first verse of the twenty fourth psalm? He who casts no bread upon the waters certainly cannot expect to “receive it again after many days.” We hope soon to hear that some poor, hungry or naked person has been made glad by tbe kind benevolence of that gentleman. o EUREKA.

‘Letter from Sounth Bend. Ep. BANNER :— Being unable to work 1 have lately taken a trip through Michigan. I found the weather very cold—--36 deg. below zero, at South Haven, and 38 at St. Joseph. : There was a boiler exploded near South Haven a few days since, killing three men and entirely destroyicg the mill. It was caused by a scarcity of water in the boiler, which the fireman discovered to-be red hot, and turped the pump on with cold water. At the first revoluti.n the boiler exploded, throwing one piece —weighing 800 lbs, a distance of -80 rods. One man was so torn that his remains could not be collected. The mill was a new one. The accident happened early in the morning. ' The trains on the Lake Shore & Chicago R. R. were snow blockaded so that the muils did not get through for four days. ¢ ' , L There was a raiiroad collision on the Mich. Central R. R., east of Jackson, on Friday last. Two freight trains, while turning a curve, ran into each other, Killing one fireman and severely injuring a brakesman. To make matters worse, a wild engine ran into the first caboose of one of these jtrains and smashed things fearfully. 4 o i ~ The cold snap of this week was too much.for South Bend whisky. It froze up in one man, and now he is no more, He was found in the street, taken in and cared for, but he lived but. a short time. ~ The Catholic church, on the Lowell side of the river, burned to-day. Loss, about $l5OO. D. T. ULMER."

By an oversight we neglected to notice last week the reading by Will M. Carlton, in this place, on the 18th ult. 'AI though tardy, we will add our mite to the expressions of praise and gratification which was unanimously accorded tothe gifted poet by all who were fortunate enough to hear him. His poems are founded on every-day facts, with a finé} thread of tenderness, romance, and elo_ quence running through that irresietibly charms the hearer, and withal a spice of wit that gives zest to each ; and l!i'ére. it might be well: to, notice the admirable pregentation speech of H, G. Zimmerman, Esq., which was neat, appropriate, and well received by the audiences. @ .

Cause of Power in the Right Hand. In a paper read before the Chirurgical Society of London, Dr. Ogle states it as his belief that the superiority of the right band, 10 works requiring strength and skill, is not due merely to custom and usage. His reasons for this opinion are, that the superior power of the right side is not confined to the arm, but extends to the leg, and that it commences 1n the arm before use or education begins, and con- ' tinues in spite ‘of sll effurts to resist or | divert it. This superiority has a resem | blance to some malformations, inasmuch | ag it is hereditary and 1s met with more frequently in the male sex, n)t only ip men, but in=apes and parrots. The au | thor further asserts that the left side of a | right handed man is greater than the! right, and he suggests that this grentvri development of the left side is due to the | greater quantity of blood_ which it re-~ ceives, S ’

CURRENT NEWS, 2 ‘The TRIBUNE has asso iated teatures thai have placed it in the front rank of journalism. With this record in its past, the Chicago TRIBUNE is prepared to carry forward its standard. and, in the year to come, fulfi , as in the past, its recognized position as ; L t THE LEADING JOURNAL IN CHICAGO. Its staff of editorial writers, reporters and correspondents in its ) ; 1 NEWS AND LITERARY DEPARTMENTS, . At home and abroad, comprise'the most trained and competent men o their calling, and, as heretofore nothing will be spared in cost of tmns‘miseion or expeuse of publication, to place the result ot their labors i the most attractive shape before its readers: To this end 'the mechanical appearance of the Tribune is now usurpassed { ITS POLITICAL COURSE. The Chicago Tribune supported, in the recent election, the platform and nominees of the Liberal Republican Convention, which met at Cincinnati on, the Ist of May. Thedefeat of the eandidates of that convention has pot diminished, in any degree, the vecessity for carrying forward its pridciples. We hold these principles to be essential to good government, to the prosperity of the country, and even to the permanence of Republican institutions. W# shall, therefore, continue 'to give them our hearty support and advocacy; and shall sustain the men who fitly represent them, whatever party designation they may wear. We shall give an impartial hearing to th eadministration of Geu. Grant, aud shall support it in all acts which serm to us wise and useful to the country, as cordially as thoogh it were an administtration of our own: choice. iln short the Chicago I'ribune will aim to secure ' : ABLE AND HONEST GOVERNMENT, Vational, State and Local, and ' e an organ of Progress rather than of Party. It will endeavor to give ‘ 10 its readers the exact truth in all matters of public interest, a.compauied by fair views and fair criticism. ! OUR NEW EIGHT-PAGE FORY, presenting fifty-six eolamns daily, has been found most satisfactory to all classes of our patrons, by whom the Tribune is pronounced . ; THE HANDSOMEST PAPER ISSUED IN THE - UNITED STATES- ; . The columns of the Tribune are the daily proof that the business and general public accord it the : THE FIRST PLACE AS AN ADVERTISING : / MEDIUM.
