LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. Kendallville. ; ~'Murdoch fioally arrived on Friday even. ing, but too late to deliver his readings ‘on that night. He came to time on Saturday evening, however, when he was igreeted by a‘large and very appreciative audience.

The entertainment gave pretty general eatisfac tion to most of the ‘audience, but hardly came up to the expectations of some The blocking up of the railroed by the snow storm was-undoubtedly a lucky thing for ‘the Society, as on any other than Saturday ‘night the audience would have been much smaller. .

The Avilla PPost Office Comntroversy. | EpIToR NATIONAL BANNER :—ln your last week’s issue of the BANNER, I ob served an article concerning the contem-* piated change of the Avilla Post Office, which was intended, asl suppose, to be a reply to your local correspondent’s article, “Reporter,” concerning the same. As far as “Reporters”. article on this sabject is concerned, it met with an almost unanimous approval of the citizens in and around town. On reading “Observer’s” article in assailing Mr. H. H. Haines and his character, I inquired of a number of citizers what they thought ot “Observer’s” article, when they unhesitatingly condemned it on account of its containing numerous falsehoods about Mr. Haines, and that be tailed entirely in making' a. reply to “Reporter,” all of which I coucur in. I “rise to ‘explain” in behalf of the citizens, to vindicate Mr. Haines' charac ter which has been assailed by “Observer” in the most re(}iculous manner, and to let the community know the real truth about it who may have been misled by “Obsetver's” article. Beginning with the expression made by him'that “Reporter” “was dealing with the wrong side of the question, I will state that the petition for Mr. Haines' appointment as Postmas. “ter bas been approved of and signed by cne hundred and fifteen citizens, all of whom are of lawtul age and get their mails at this oflice, a goodly number of them comprising the business mev, while ““olserver” only claims five citizens against his appcintment, four of whom reside three and four miles from town.

2d. He says nothing about the present situation of the Post Office, = thereby ac knowledging the inconvenience of it,lt being nearly a quarter of a mile from the business portion of the town, and in the wet season it is impossible for a lady or child torget to and from the office on account ;of the mud. : Bd. Speaking of the reduced adlury, from $l2O to $94, I can only state it to be true, on account of reasons alrcady given, namely, the distance of the Post -Office. As“ Observer” says, the salary of this office is-governed by the amount of stamps canceled. The people carry their mail matter to the railroad on account of its being so short a distance from the bus iness portion of the town, from which it can be plainly seen that it did not reguire cunning engineering to bring about this result. : i

4th, * Hesays that Mr. Haines has already made enemies, which is an’ entire falsehood, from the fact that every one that signed the petition is anxiously await ing his appointment, ; : sth. I don’t object to “Observer” ta“king such an active !;art in the contest, a 8 he is strictly related to thé deputy ' P. M. (who claims to be one of the fair minded sex.) lam advised to ask him, also, huw often he went to the Post Office, and how long he staid there. Speaking very sympathetically of the widow I would state bere that ifl am informed correctly she is not as poor a widow as some might aup'pr;he, she being at the same time a grass widow and the deputy P. M. a widow by divoree, - lam also informed that hundreds of letters are being mailed at Kendallviile for the reason tbat most any (ne might ~suppose. * e

In conclusion, T will state that the present P. M. has intimated that she would resign the office, but not in H. H. Haines' favor. I thiok this is sufficient to meet the unjust charges made by “Ob server.” READER OF THE BANNER:

* . Cromwell. M&. EpiToßr :—Locals seem to be scarce this week. Business of a temporal nature seems to be on a standstill, but business of a spiritual npature seems to be progressing when we take into considera. tion that about twenty-four persons pro= posed faith iz Christ at a series of meetings beld at the United Brethren Church in Indian Village, and at Cromwell, under the supervision ot the Reverend Leathers, five or six persons put off the old Adam and put on the new man, which is Christ. Four united with the Church ; the meeting closed with a gen eral good feeling anil shalﬁbg of hands. To night, Rev.

THE FIRE ENGINE. Valuable Testimony for the Babeork, As has already been announced in the columos of tke Banner, a petition, signed by citizens representing two thirds, or more, of the taxable property of Ligonicr, was presented to the Town Council, asking that body to purchase a fire engine for the use and benefit of the town, the cost of which should not exceed the sum of $2500. As the sum named id the petion' would préclude the possibility of purchasing a Steamer, the cost of which, and necessary appliances, would amount to five or six thousand dollars, the Coun cil was led to consider the merits of the * Babcock Self acting Fire- Eugine,” the price of which ‘ranges from $l5OO to $3000; and, also, the ordinary hand water engine. Bat as the same objections presented themselves in the case of the latter as would exist- with ‘the steamer, regarding the supply of water in that portion of the town that was not convenient to the liver, it was conceded that the Babeock engine, owing to its. peculiar construction, which dispenses with hose carts, rps'cpvoirs, etc, and the promptness with which it can be used, was better adaptéd to the necessities of the place than either a steamer or hand éngine, es- ‘ pecially when the cost was taken into consideration.” In view of these facts, ‘ the Council passed a resolation, authorizing the Cormamittee on Finance and Fire to negotiate for the purchase of a No. 3 Babecock Engine, at the same.time instructing said committee to make such inquirics and inyestigations as to the character and utility of this 'machine as would, in the opinion ¢of the Council, be satisfactory in its nature, and which would justify them in closing a contract with the manufacturers. The committee was further instructed "to report at the next regular meeting what progress they had made in carrying out the object of the.said resolution, but owing to the absence of two of the meémbers, (one by death) no report was submitted and no ac tion taken on the matter. A special meet: ing, however, was called for Friday, the 7th inst., when it is expected the engine matter will be finally settled. Knowing that our citizens are deeply interested in securing a fire engine for Ligonier, and that any light thst can be shed upon the subject will be as accepta ble to them as to ourselyes, the writér, on the 7th ultimo, addressed a number of letters of Inquiry to the several heads of cities and fire departments where. the Babcock engine is in use, antl it is as grat. ifying to himself, as' no doubt 1t will_be to our readers, to state that, in every instance, the most favorable response has ‘been returned. 'And, as;these letters will interest | our readers, we cheerfully give them a place in the .columns of this week’s BANNER. .~ - ' Letter ‘from Mayor Medill, Chicago. ; : Mavor’s OFFICE, Chicago, Feb’y 10th, 1873. J. B. STOLL, Rq., . - - Dear Sir :—Your letter of the 7th inst.,, asking certain questions as to ‘“Babcock ¥ire Extinguishers,”’ is received.—In reply I have to say that our Fire Department have now in use three of the large “Babcocks’’ (on wheels) and eight of the smaller, or portable ones, The Departihent séems to be -greatly pleased with their workings in cases of small fires, or in the incipient stages of fires. I regard them as highly useful, in being easily handled, and in extinguishing fires before they shall bave gained great headway. On the other haud we find that the ““charge’” used in these machines, unless great care is taken, will freeze in very\cold weather, causing trouble.®* If you cannpot get a steam fire engine, the ‘‘Babcock ” is\certainly the next best thing, in my opinion, ; g 3 . ; . JOSEPH MEDILL, = 0 Mayor; ~ *This difficulty -can easily be‘overcome by salting the water contained in the copper tanks, \ and which materially increases its extinguishing capacity, as it i 8 & well known fact that salt alone is a good fire extinguisher.

Letter from the Mayor of Muncie, . Indiana. MAyor’s OFFiCE, Muncie, Ind., Feb’y 12th, 1873. J. B. STOLL, Esq., .| ! _ _ Dear Sir :—Your letter of inquiry was received yesterday. ' In answer I would say :— < ’ Ist. The engine fully meets our expectations, and isall the manufactures claim for it. 2d. I regard il a 8 much superior to ordinary band water engines, especially where the supply of water 1s limited. . - ; 3d. I cannot answer Bs to its durability as we bought ours in the fall of '72. It 1s easily understood and worked. : In addition I would say, that before we made the purchase of a ‘Babcock,” our Council sent'a committee to different points where the various fire extinguishing inventions were in use, and the result of all the light we could get’ upon the subject was the purchase of the Babcock Engine. It was conceded by the heads of Fire Departments in Cincinnati, ladianapolis, and other points visited, to be decidedly superior to the hand water engine, for the following, umong other redsons : Ist. It can be charged (if not kept charged) in less than five minutes after reaching a fire. 2d. It requires but httle water. 3d. Youcan throw a continuons stream by charging one cylinder while the other is discharging. : 4th. The chemicals extinguish fires, as well as smoke, instantaneously. We have had but one fire'since the purchase, where the engine worked admirably, saving, as I believe, many times its cost. I cah then say to you (without having the slightest personal interestin any species of extinguisher), that for small towns the ‘‘Babcock” is a splendid epgine. We paid £3,500 for ours. M With much respect, I am your obd’t sv’t, M. C. SMITH, . Mayor,

We consider the ** Babcock’’ as indispensable in our Department. We have two hand engines, a ‘‘Babcock,”” and & hook and ladder truck, and shall recommend it our next annual report that the town purchase another Babcock engine. Istate truly when I say that if called upon to disbandon acompany I shionld do away with a hand engine sooner than the Babcock. I have not the slighest interest in these ma-chines,-except the interest felt for an invention that, will stay the devburing element.
