LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. & : Kend:;l—vlllo. Rl B ‘“Pipelegs” sent twelve very fecble shots at “Joe” in his last week’s issue. The only thing remarkable about them was ‘the amount of space they occupied. The general impression down here is, tbnﬁ “Pipelegs” is a fool, and I must say that I shgre with the public in that opinion. All regard the name “Pipe-legs” as very appropriate ; it is self evident that his legs are pipey. It is no fault of his, ashe could not belp it, and I would not have any one think that I am abusing one of God’s creatures. lam only placing him where he belongs. I eaid in a former communication that he was a “betwcen,” and not only his mental capacity but his pbysical formation go far toward proving my assertion. . His indisposition to com—ply with the injunction of the Creator is evidence of it and his prototype is recognized in that animal which everybody regards as a between. Yet, though having the instincts and attributes of that animal, I must admit that he has some cunnicg and looks out for himself. His Vlackmailing Billy Williams shows that hie has cunning, and his position last spring in. politics shows his instinets. Not until he hud been labored with and promised a position—which was the Kendallville postoffice—by those who have inflacnce with the administration, would he cease his praises of the Cincinnati Convention and his denunciations of Grant and his friends. Now this was the plan ndnptcaﬂto blackmail the leaders of the republican party about here, and I must say that he exhibited considerable cunning. “And now, “Pipelegs,” I bave got through with you. This is the last dose. * You are at liberty to employ any other person you may wigh, and I am satigfied you will wot: survive this life long without one, “f’ipvlcgs" undoubtedly meant Capt. Fisber instead of me. He was simply cudgeling Fisher through me. ™ He is not the man to fight other people’s hattles before he does bis own, and he claims that there ie quite an amount between Fisher and himself. :

“Pipelegs” says be took 'a little run down to Washington. lam surprised to think that some naturalist did not capture bim. e must bave had his legs padded. Major Sayler, our present Congressman, snys hé will move into his own District and it is said will make our city his future home. Well, we should be pleased to have the Major come among us and we think him wise in having selected Kendallville as his'dwelling place. Mejor Sayler says he never will support “Pipelegs” for the postoflice at Kendallville unless he is reccommended by & mas jority of the people, andfurther, that if be conies any of his black mai‘ling games upon him he wih start’ o paper hinself that will deal fairly with the party. “Pipelegs” makes quite free with. my local Itéms, Glad that he occasionally mixes in a little good sense. ' I notice he did not copy my recipe for killing Ken+ dallville: ~ John Gipe is traveling for the Circle Factory.® . v : ; Mrs. Hyatt fell from a defective sidewalk, a few days ago, and injured berself quite seriously. © Our Council will compromise, I suppose, by paying a nicesum for damages. . - Nick Newnam will soon take up his résidence with us.

If the postmastership is left to the people, and I hear it will be, it would not surprise me if Christ. Browand should be the lucky man.

' DEAR BANNER:— Our school in this place has not only been a Buccess in an educational point of view, but has resulted in'a grand triumph over sectarian bigotry. Mr. Sherman Engle was engaged to teach the winter term which has just expired. We have a class of people amohg ‘us who platé of education and yet .do all they can against it, for the sake of being contrary. Mr. Engle, as the funds were low, agreed to take an inadequate salary, while it was voted that the balance should be made up from the private purses of the citizens in prcportion to the number of pupils sent by each. "All except one met the demand promptly, the excuse of the exceptional one being: “You took iun enough at the door to pay that” The /fact is, & public exhibition was gizen, for two evenings, at the close of the'school — which was also att.cndei(/l with some “expense for curtains,etc.—and an admittance fee of fifteen cents was taken at the door. ~ The theepian efforts of the scholars were .abundant'.y’ successful. There was scarcely standing room in the house, while many could not gain admittance at all, aad all who witnessed their efforts were well satisfied. i) o ~ “Dale,” who, out of sheer contrariety, upheld the school taught by a Mr. Kirkland a year or two since, after witnessing, the close of Mr, Engle’s school, has scarce-. ly subsided sufficiently as yet to permiﬁ bim to attend to his daily routine of busi. ness, since the truth is, and it cannot be gainsayed, that Mr. Engle has taught for us the best term of school that was ever taught in this town —*Dale” and Kirkland notwithstanding. And I would here suggest: Invite them to give an entertainment in Ligonier and all will say amen. S : : Yipi.

. Noblesville, Eprror BANNER :—lt is said by old settlers, that this has been the coldest winter that they have ever experienced, If the cold weather holds on much longer it ie going to make hard times inour neighborhood, as feed is getting scarce; bay is worth' from $l2 to $l5 per ton, and not very plenty at that.” Christian Stoner had a public sale on last Tuesday which was largely attended ; Mr. Stoner is going to move to Kansas soon. Mr. David Nicodemus, of Ligonier, exhibited a sewing machine at Mr. Stoner’s sale; the operation of which gave entire satisfaction to all who saw it. Mr. Nicodemus

has sold a ‘good many machines in this neighiborbood, all of which have given entire satisfaction. . I believe if he would advertise bis agency in the BANNER, he would become more widely known. Some of our citizens are suffering with a disease something similar to the epizootic. Hiram H. 'Young has not yet started for Kansas. . Mr. Young is a good cit--Izen and we feel gorry to bave bim go from among us. ~ =+ There are some cases of measles in our neighborhood. 1 see there is a conflict of opirion between the Cromwell correspondents, in regard to the schools of that place. Everything is quiet here as re. gagds the changing of the Post Office I will venture to say that Noblesville: has shipped more lumber to the station at Ligonier this winter than any other place of it size in Noble county. “Argus” isnot yet frozen up, as -was remarked ‘in the Post Office at Wolf Lake last Friday. Don’t be uneasy, boys, lam all sound yet. - Hoping to see locals written by some one in Wolf Lake, I close. - March 12th, 1873. ARGus,

el 5 . Avilla; - & A rumor ig current to the effect that the Baltimore, Pittsburgh & ‘Chicago Ruailroad has sold out to the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railroad company. Nothing definite bias, been heard.— Wicther the former company have abandoned the proposed whole liu:c through this section, or whether they /intend to use the latter track trom Pittsburgh west, or only use it at Chicago, is not known. Howerver, the ramor is discredited among well informed citizens;as it comes from, the lips of uninformed parties. It is be~ lieved that certain parties who expect to puzf’éhase real estate along'the line reported it first, in order to_reduce prices in real estate and discourage holders. An- | other rumor said, that the right of way agent had received a dispatch, not to set. tle with farmers, where the irailroad goes tarough, and also not to contract any more ties, all of which bas not been con- | firmed as yet and is not belieyed at all. ; Siuce the railroad fever rages nmongv? our farmers, they ask advanced prices for 5 their landd; in some linstances demand | $lOO.OO an acre for it, at the same time saying that no necessity exists fot any more railroads, their number! being al"rcady sufficient, But what mhkes them ask 50 per cent mare for their land, they will net tell; Undoubtedly it's the railroads/that increase the valoo of land, and still these persons persist in their absur dities. b I have been informed of a terrible ac cident, which occurred last weck south of Eel River R. R. crossing, in Alien county, Ind. It is briefly as follows: A man by the name of Barnum Potter was engag@d mn hauling hay on-a wagon.. Near the barn where be was destined to, exists a narrow bridge. In Some mysterious manner the binding pole, on which he was sitting, broke, throwing him overboard on the ground, his head striking a large stone, killing bim in less than two minutes. being permitted - only to breathe twice. Deceased leaves a wife and several children and a large circle of friendsto mourn over his sudden departure to an- | other world. Mr. Potter was highly estcemed in the community where he resided, and was 55 yearsold. : ‘ The transactions in real estate are quite brisk in our town at present.” Messrs. Baum, Walter & Co. have disposed of their.old storehouse to Messrs. Stewart & Bro. Mr. R. 8. Haines sold his house and lot to the same parties. Messrs. Stewart & Bro. sold a building to a lady who intends to start & millinery shop in it, and are also about selling their grocery store. It is also rumored that Mr. J. D. Shaetfer has sold his new steam’grist mill, but it is denied by hith. Tt is valued at from. $15,000 to $16,000. | Mr. John Yeiser eold a span of grey l%rses to a party from Brooklyn, N. ¥, 'ffn): the enormous sum of $500.00. I |say enormous, because very seldom is such a [price obtained for country farm horses. Mr. Edwin Randall sold recently $5OO worth of walnat logs to a Fort Wayne firm. o , . . A brick yard has been started north of town by Blust Bros. Laa A meat-market has been' started by Messrs. Hilkert & Gensamer. They mean to furnish people with tresh beef. - . _ Our winter school has just come to a close. It cannot be denied that under the management of Mr. Johu Bosworth and Miss Cora Vanferson it has been a success. - S ) .

' A Slanderous Charge. EpiToß BANNER.—AS we are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, so alsO we are apt to open our eyes to a false and libelous accusation and defend the cause of truth and justice. As it seems some “would be author” sent some malicious accusations to the editor of “The rays of the rising sun,” a paper of the literary society at the “Poplar grove school bouse,” to be published in said paper and } read before the society. - The bearing of witness in those articles is false, of which the first is that I, the son of a good old father, stole his team and sled to take a party of my friends to & meeting at “Burr Oak school house;” and second that we were all fined five dollars each for misbe havior while there. 'Tis a pity that our young literary aspirant,B.—Y.—G., had, such poor backing and that his authority is as wavering as his tongue is waving and his brain is staving. That the pen he so fluently wields, which is said to be more powerful than the sword, should be employed in making accusations wholly false, scandalous and unauthentic. That I never took any young folks to meeting there or stole my father's team, or never was, nor threatened to be, fined -for misbebavior, can be proved by the best of autbority. And besides we consider ourselves as well beliaved and as capable of bebaving as our accuser or as‘becomes la: diesand gentlemen. And we would advise him to pull the “beam out of his own eye” so he may sce eledrly the “mote in his brother’s eye” and so adjust his glasses as not to pick it out of the “wrong nest of erows.” Y;m;g traly, . 7 oot Ol B LAty Haw Patch, March 10tb, 1873, ‘ = e — Who is Agent for the Burdett Organ? : CHicAGo, Jan. 31, 1873, TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

—We recently stated thst Isaac Meyer, a Jew residing at Roanoke, Huntington county, had renounced that faith and united with a Christian denomination, This gentleman recently visited the editer of the Huntington Democrat, who thus speaks of the converted Hebrew: “Mr. Meyers detailed to us the circumstances relating to his conversion to the christian faith, and says that he feels he has pursued a proper course, .a 8 he knows that it is one which commends itself to his conscience and judgment. In some respects it is as remarkable as was that of St. Paul, and is doubtless as sinsere.” —— .
