Kiser.” ; —L. D. Middleton, of Chicago. came here on a brief visit, Monday afternoon. He returned on Tuesday, after having “shouk” withl'tfxa'ny of his-old friends. ~—The opposition to the new liquor law, in certain circles at Kendallviile, is very bitter; yet quite a large percent. of the population is favorable to the law. ——We learn that the epizootic has again made its appearance among the horses of Washington township, and that a similar disease is prevalent among the peo ple. " —Al'freight train jumped the track near Millersburg last Monday afternoon, in cponsequence of which ‘the westward bound Accommodation was delayed there rf()F several hours. - —The statement is again made that the N. Y. & Chicago Air Line Railroad Company bas made ab arrangement for using the grade of the Canada Southern Railroad through this State. _—Quite'a curiosity may be seen on the premises of Dr. Gants, near town, It congists of a fresh and henlthy green leaf on a small pear tree, just as we are accustomed to seeing such growths in the month of June. ; —Thirty.seven legal sale notices are pub lished in the Laporte Argus,. furnished by the Repablican Sheriff of that county. The cost of advertising sums up “‘the neat amount of $269 50. That is what printers call a “fat-take.” - i —The letter from‘Rev. Monroe, in last weeld's BANNER, was read with marked intercst by his many friends in this place. e pr,inniscs to write a series of letters from the various points to-be yisited by him during his journey. —The genial countenance of Sheriff Hough is noticeable apon our streets every few days. He carries a number of very interesting documents in his pockets, and, has no hesitancy in showing them to certain “,fu‘vored” individaals.

- —The eight barrels of pork and beef sent to Germany by our townsman, F: W. Shinke, arrived in excellent condition at the place of consignment. The freight from this place to Buende, Prussia, amounted to $51.50, or about $650 per barrel. ; ; —Simon Straus left here last Tuesday a week, for New York, and a few days later embarked upen his voyngé ACTross the “briny deep.” He intends. to spend three or. four . months in the Vaterland,. and then return to this place.

When the Dr. started from/ home, thp animal seemed ‘to be in excelf lent condition, and gave po indications of disease until, at the time above stated, bloating commenced and death ensued in a very brief period. The mare was worth fally $2OO. e ‘—We have the iutlﬂbrity of Mr. Eugene Landon for announéing that while at “Fakeville, St. Joe county, last Monday, be was informed by a prominent railroad official that both the Canada Southern and the Baltimore & Ohio railroads will be located at this place, and that the two companies will jointly build a double track from here to Chicago. This intormation is “important if correct,” which Mr. Landon thinks it is. | —We. are told that-the Minister of a certain demomination at Kendallville re cently took occasion to denounce by name from the pulpit, Mr. J. Adam Foehl, on account of the business in which he has been engaged fora number of years.— We believe this course unjust toward Mr. Foebl, in view of the fact that he is a peaceable, law-abiding citizen who always kept an oraeley houge and never allowed ‘drunkards about his premises. . —Ed. Meagher was considerably astonished the other day, upon discovering that he was kandsomely bespeckled with the mensles. He doubtless regrets inow that, this little circumstance did not trans. pire about twenty years ago when he had more leisure to look after such things than he bas now. We &are pleased to state, however, that he accepts the situation with becoming resignation, and that lie is doing as well as can be expected under the circamstances,

—The detestable wretch who recently wrote & communicaticn {rom this place to the Kendallville Standard, in which he encouraged a personal attack upon our Kendallville correspondent, not long siuce attempted to entice an innocent young girl of fourteen, whom he met on the train, into leading a life of shame and debauchery. . He used all the “eloquence” at his command to induce her to accompany him to Toledo, but her good sense prompted her to spurn the dirty villain's infamous progosition. ~David W.Ditmer, of Green township, in whom we recognize one of those truehearted and firm friends upon whom re liance can always be placed, called to see us yesterday and took a look at things about the oﬁqe generally, David has been a reader of the BANNER for nearly seven years,always pays hissubscri ption prompt: ly, and usoally has a cheering word for the editor. Buch men can well be called friende, and present a most agrecable con. trast to those sneaking, back-sliding creatures who- profess friendehip to one’s face and then turn right around to stab one in the back., - : ‘ i

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. Kend:l?vllle. R ; A daily prayer meeting has been beld at the house of the Widow Tharp, in this place, during the Jast Bix or eight days. What was most remarkable about this prayer meeting was the non attendance of those who usually attend prayer meetings and make long prayers, but instead of those who buve been praying much during the last sixty days 1n our place, we found representatives from the families of the Moyers, Hyatts,Pai‘kers, and others, whose prayers consisted of pounds of pork, loaves of bread, bed and bed clothing, to keep the widow and ber children from suffering. And here allow me to say that there is more real prayer in fifteen pounds of pork than in three hours’ tsllking.r ; Senator Bunyan is again upon our street looking sleek and smooth. L Judge Osborn, of Goshen, passed thro’ our place, last Tuesday, enroute to hold Court at Lagrange. The selection of Mr. Osborn as Jucge is a good one; - o Miss Kittell and her sister have handed in their resignations as teachers in our school, 'to take effect in about two weeks, when the school will bave a short vacation. They are both good teachers. Seven human beings were baptized by cutting a hole through the ice,” one- day last week, in this place. It is unnecessary to mention thé denomination, as we all know the creed. .~ . There are several applicants to fill the vacancies ih our school, among them Mrs Conts, of Ligonier. Wildman & Waldron shipped a. car’ load of potitoes up North last Monday. They paid fifty cents per bushel. : I learn that Dora Comparet. will be a candidate for re election. I know of no good reason why he is not entitled to another term. Dora can show a clean record, ! = ‘ Emanuel~Waltman is talked of as a can didate for Councilman in the First Ward. Seven meeting houses are lit up almost nightly in our city. : Professor ——, of Ann Arbor, Mich, will lecture before the literary society during the latter part of this mqnth., e has visited Athens and his lecture will be interesting. : _ Forty three members united with the Presbyterian Church last Sahbath. Phillip Lash, an cld citizen of this county, died on Monday last, after a short 'illness. i i Sam. Meiser bas bought a farm and will move onto it soon. o The Methodists bave closed their meet ings, . i : £ ' The Standard man is awey contractingfor a power press.

i Wawaka, | ¢ Mrg. Eprror ¢(—This morning as I mused, the fire burhed, and I tcok up my pen to write— what! a book ? No!—a revelation ? No! only a few locals— just enough to maken few enemies—but, n'everthc-l‘ess, the pen moves, with a right good will to all and a gratification to our pet ambition. : : . Our literary society closed last Wednes day evening with&hnnor'to the members. We claim to have young Thespians in Wawaka who cannot be beat in the art of Elocution, Our paper, “The Gossip,” bas cut and seared some with its personalities, but the victims have all taken it in good part, considering that ‘“‘faithful are the wounds of friends, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitfal.” : : Our term of winter schoo], taught by ‘Mr. W, Striff and Miss Ida Jopp, closed with credit to themselves as teachers. Mr. Grabam, of Kendallville, closed his singing school here last Saturday. Rev. Meredith is lying sick at Brimfield. It is said that continual fault finding, from his people, has at last expelled bhim from further duties ; but we failed to hear the story about the mote and the -beam.. Alas for the rarety of christian charity! ' : » o Our Sabbath School is progressing fincly. M. Co()kinglm'm is Superintend’ ent and Miss Anna Williamson Secretary. Since the new temperance law has been - passed’we feel that our prayers have been answered; and we have the assurance of more huppy-lx’_earted mothers, more. kKind words to wives, more cool headsand more heavy purses. ; We also think red noses will go out of fashion entirely. Our hearts were made glad the other day on seeing a nice, leather bound volume of the Holy Bible in our depot for free reading; also one on every train of cars. We think this is indeed a “grand scheme of redemption,” for the man “who runs may read.” It is truly sowing gocd seed by the (rail)way, and perchance some may fall in good ground. i ~ We have read with interest Rev. J. M, Monroe’s letter written on the ocean. We wonder what his feelings were when he looked through his glass and saw the boat rise above the crested wave,then sink again in the sea. Bat, in my mind’s eye, I see bim, like a young St. Paul, his calm countenance pale but serene, listening %o bear above the roar of the waves the voice of his beloved Master, who is saying, “It is I, be not afraid.” We wish him long life, and hope to hear from him again. . sl : .

e e e —— e . : The “Purim” Ball. The members of the “Y. M. B. A,,” ag previously noted, gave a ball on Thursday evening last at Kann's Half. As predicted, it was a success in every particular. The music, furnished by Hull and Arnold’s celebrated Quadrille Band, was, as usual, withoat fault. The company, composed of the elite of town, with some old friends from Kendallville, Butler, and Wolcottville, was received by the members of the Recepticn Committee and, after “fixing up” (as all the ladies like to do) in a room improvised for the occasion, at nine p. m. precisely the ball opened with a Grand March, headed by Mr. J. Strsus, jr. and Miss Paulina Hyman, followed by about fifty couples, This turned into a Polks, and then dance followed dance until, in the wee small hours of morning, to the beautiful strains of “Home, Sweet Home,” the assemblage dispereed, each and everyoue pleased and wishing that “Purim Night” would come more often.

The dresses worn by the ladies were very bandsome, uoticeable among which were: A white Tarleton, richly embroidered with crape; a green moire antique, trimmed with whitec lace, was for its elegance, in our opinion,: the handsomest dress worn, ané_ with diamond ornaments, the wearer could well lay claim to all thé encomiums that were passed. A green silk, richly trtmimed with guiped lace, was very hand‘Some ; another rich silk wine color, elab orately trimmed with valencienes, was much admired, as was also a slate colored silk, trimmed with white lace aud made in the latest style, court train. Then there were black silks, pink tarletons, ete., etc., until one's head was turned with the thought of which was best. We leave that to the judgment of those who were there, and if anyone can decide—what all the ladies wish to know—which was the Belle, we resign with pleasure: . The arrangements were all made with special regard to the tastes of the ladies, and, judging by their pleased countenances, the gentlemen who had the management were well repaid. . el Trusting the next will be as successful as the first, we wish the young society - Au Revoir.: DNABRETTIR, -

z —— . : . Cromwell. It does seem very strange that “Vidi” cannot refrain from throwing his bombast at the individual who has been furnishing employment. whereby a support eculd be obtained for himself and family ; and for a man who peddles hellish litersture to prove the tallacy of a centain secret order existing in our country, and who boasts of a minstrel success over religious gatheri‘ngs! “Vidi” ealls it “sectarian bigotry” —in short, his ast weék’s item is =fgslse from head to toot. Messrs. Hill, Robbins & Co. have purceased a lot of Mr. A. G. Cole and intend to build a large business house on the cor ner.. Sdaid lot; 22 feet front, cost %100. They expeet to have the building done by the first of June. . “Shorty’s” building will be completed in a few days, & o There seems to be a rumor current that the B. & O. Railroad will probably fall through ;. however there is no foundation for such report. ) e ~ Mr. John T. Kiggins, an anti-Masonic lecturer, Dgn.ve us two evening cutertain ments last week. How much good may have been done remains to be developed in the future, ' : S Mr. “¥idi” sent a communication to the Northern Indz'(inz'a,n, a few weeks since, whizh was not published.

Wiley, of Wolf Lake, bas retired from the mercantile business, hayving traded his store to Mr. Bailey tor a farm., As Mr. Wiley is Township | Trustee, we hope he will still remain among us. He makes an efficient officer. B The letter of Mr. John Corklin was very interesting. Wé hope be will write again, | ' Mr. Alexander Reese last Saturday lost a fine two year old heifer from some unknown disease. Mr. R. lost several cattle a few years ago from a similar complaint. ; 1 see Lagrange county boasts of some large trees. Noble county can beat them, which I will show in the future, It is ramored that the B. & O. Railrosd is a failureon the Albion line ~ ARrcus. —_—— e — . . Dr. U. I. WaARD; of Silver Lake, Kos ciusko county, favored us with a friendly call - yesterday morning. The Doctor pronounces Silver Lake the healthiest locality in Northern Indiand, owing to its elevated position and the absence of swainps and pools. This, of course, does not render that place the most inviting locstion for a physician seeking a lucrative practice ; hence the Doctor’s inclina. tion to bang cat his shingle in some other direction. Where that will be, has not yet been determined. . el

Sunday School Convention, The semi-annual meeting of the Christ. ian Sunday School in the North~East District of Indiana, will be held- in the Christian Chapel in Kendallville, com mencing on Tuesday evening, March 25, and will continue Wednesday and Thursday following.

MR.

Tidiness and taste are virtues which every ope should cultivate and practice—-they heighten the pleasures of life beyond con -’ ception and reveal an exalted soul.. They should.not be confined to the arrange—ment and adornment of parlors, sittingrooms, &c., but the exterior of outward appearance of a man’s dwelling, is a truth« ful index to his spirit. Every thing should be in its proper condition and at its proper place. Then taste should embelish the picture with her bright touches, A tlower here, a shrub there, a vine yon—der,and a tree near by, would dress it adwirably.” Then the fences and outbuildings should be whitened. It will protcet them from the weather, which is indeed an inferior consideration, compar od with the atmosphere of comfort and delight which it affords. How beautiful do the long, curving fences, looking like threads of silver, and the snow buildings of our homesteads appear upon the green background of the landscape. No. one with the least love for' the sublime and beautiful in- his nature, will neglect the outward appearance of his home.” :
