LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. s Kendallville, i - This town is boiling over with in- | dignation at the appointment of C. O.! Myers as post-master. The feeling of opposition is universal. I have not been able to meet a single. person who endorses it, and I venture the opinion that not one individual in this place will con;gratulate him upon his success. It was ‘only through base trickery that he succeeded. «»—Every honorable candidate was willing that Mr. Lisle should hold the office until his commission expired, and, in fact, that was the understanding with them all, but while those at home were conveying the impression that C. O. was at Ciﬁcimmti purchasing a power press,”we find him at V\rashington stealing the -post-office -away from his. more honorable ‘competitors.— Immediately afterreceiving the news of his nomination by the President, a telegram was sent to Senators Morton and Pratt, requesting them to “dvfea,t" his confirmation. Whether the dispatch arrived in time or nog, it did not have the dé_sirml effect, as the papers of the following morning announced the confirmation. The dispatch was signed by several of our i ‘best citizens and members of his party, whose protest would be sufficient l to make the most of men back down | from a position they did not merit. ‘But I am told that he simply winks ‘at the indignation his appointment has caused. Between Ed. Lisle and C. O. Myers let the people choose, but we think that nine out of every ten would be in favor, of the former remaining in thé office. Looking at this matter from a political standpoint, it is worth many votes to the opposition, and instead of the sixty majority which was obtained last fall, it will give thein two hundred in this township at the next general election. But this is not satisfactory even to those who are opposed to the present administration. Every man likes to «see j’ilstico done. We all know that there are men in the republican party in this town who have periled their lives in the interest of their country; whose constitutions dre broken, and who need the position, and for them to be robbed of their just rights by this political “dead bheat” is more than the people of Kendallville will submit to. - Jason B: Brown and C. O. Myers, both confirmed on Monday. What a beautiful couple. The one the Judas Tscariot of modern times, the other still lower in the scale of political degradatién. | = . The question is who influenced the President to send in the name of C. O. Myers as post-master. Sayler wasg not there, and stated two weeks | ago that he would not do it unless the people demanded it by a vote. One of pur preachers says it is just as bad to steal.spiritual sheep as it is to go into your neighbor’s flock and steal his sheep. He was evidently hitting some of the other churches who have come in and reaped the rewards of his labors. Corporation orders will not buy lumber, hence the City cannot build sidewalks. Prof. D’Ooge will deliver his lecture on Friday evening at the Presbyterian Church. i

lam informed that Charles Aichele will be a candidate for City Treasurer at the coming spring election. I hope this is true, as I know him to be a man of energy, and I.am satisfied that he will col lect all the taxes, and some that are delinquent also. : - The Rev. William Waltman is very sick with a fever, at his home in Jefferson. . Mrs. Johnson, of this place, will fill one of the: vacancies in our school as teacher. | i The Methodists of this p!acé have added to their numbers "during the revival meetings just closed, nearly two hundred converts. Some may doubt the getting of religion in that way, but after all, many resolve to change their course ot life during just.such excitements, and do be: come better men and women. - . The fishing season has commenced in earnest vv'i}p us. Fish of all sizes are takenout.” A monstrous pike was takzn out of Bixler luke a few days ago, weighing nearly 140 pounds. ' Steve Helmer is negotiating for the Brick Kelly House of this place. Our Disciple friends are coming in for their share of the converted pretty well, as some nine new accessions were baptized “on last Sunday. : ' Our new Postmaster says he could have had the office immed.iately atter the elecs tion, but out of sympathy for Mr, Lisle and family, he thought he would let them get through the winter with it, as they bad nothing else to depend opon. - The Rev. Mr. Wilson is sick. . Indignation meetings are being held all over the city. Last night a large obe was held at Bunyan’s Drug Store. They purpose to make it hot for C. O. Myers. : ' JOE.

] A Sianderows Charger. ke ’ MR. Epitor:—As 1 feel myself deeply ~wronged through the article of S. P. Lantz, published 10 your paper of March 13th, and believing that you will grant me the privilege to a defense, I have concluded to reply to the young gentle man’s article ; but in so doing, I do not wish to wrong of abuse him in any manner. I simply wish to make a fair state ment of the case so far as it personally concerns myself. Now as to those “malicious accusations” that were published in our paper at “Poplar Grove,” I would say, I am not the “would be author.” I never wrote any of those “malicious accusations,” neither did I procure or hire any one else to do so, and I further say that I had nothing whatever to do with t e matter. I.am sorry that the young gent. has thus charged me with slander, aud there by forced me to take the course that I now purste. He has shown his aptitude in quoting the sacred truths of the scriptures, and if he had been ready to “do to others as he would have them do to him” he might have saved himself some trouble and myself some mortification, by coming to me,; and investigating the matter, in stead of pte)eenting his thoughts ito the public in the manner he did. . - It is withymuch regret that I ask this favor at your hands, Mr. Epitor, and sincg my “fongue is Waviog and my brain is staving,” I simply demand that Mr. Lantz shall either prove his charges against me or make proper retraction in the same public manner in which the charges were made, (through the columns of the- BANNER,) otherwise he may find that be is “picking at the wrong nvest of crows,” Respectfuily, - i S: Y.

An‘affray happened last Saturday, one mile west of Millersburg, Elkhart Ce., in which a Constable was shot through the abdomen by one John Loung, while attempting to arrest him. We hear that Long got into debt and was secured by his father in-law by ‘the name of Horn. To save himself, Horn had Long’s propérty levied on. This exasperated Long ‘and be threatened to shoot Horn. Constable Hawkins was ordered to arrest Long because of his threats, . went with others to his residence and was shot while before the house. Long escaped to the woods, but' shots were fired by order of the Constable, some of which struck the house. The Sheriff, J. W. Egbert, went to Long’s house after hearing this, prepared, and persuaded his wife to bring him from the woods on the pretense that ‘be wanted to arrest those who shot into the house snd needed Long's statement as to the parties. While the Sheriff was conversing with Long and. his>wife on the best of terms, another party came in, accidentally, of course, and the two ar‘rested Long, who was off his guard.— (lii.awkgns, the Constable, will probably ie. ;

HoUuSEKEEPERs of every class, from those who have been a half -a century around their own fireside down to those who have just entered upon the delightful task, have always been annoyed searching for an outfit of the thousand and one articles necessary to render housckeeping convenient and easy.

Cooke’s Case of Family RMedicines, " Homeeophatie, with Instructiens, There is probably no book or arjicle now being s.ld through Agents in this country, that is meeting with such marvelous success as Dr, Cooke's MepiciNe Case. Agents are reap\ing a golden harvest with it. On account of its great convenience, utiiity and cheapuess, as well as for the money and sulfering itwill save, the people appreciate it at once, and therefore the work of the Agent is comparatively easy.— All that the people want is simply the opportunity to purchase it, Dr. N. F. Cooke is one of Chicago’s greatest physicians. He was for many years the Professor of Theory and Practice of the Hahnemann Medical College, and is author of many important medical works. — Each Case 1s prepared by him and bears his certificate and signature. This Case of Medicive is an [article that well deserves the approbation and patronage of the people, for there are not many physisians that would risk the ill-feeling of the professionat large, by enlightening the people onthese subjects and placing the means of cuare right in the hands of the people themselves, for as the great Zimmerman says ‘‘Physigians hve and‘thrive on the ignorance of the ipcople »’ With this Case of Medicines. and its carefully prepared. book, giving full deseriptions, symptoms and -treat ment, any one can successfully tredt, if taken at the outset, all cases of sickness likely to arise in the family. We are sure that all intelligent people, no matter what school of-medi-cine they profess to believe in, will, at such a trifling cost (only &3,00 for Case of Medicine and Book), be glad of the ovportunity of purchasing and using these effective, safe and conveniens medicines, and the success of Agents already engaged upon it proves that point beyoud all doubt. Any gentlenman or lady having the time to spare, could find no more profiteble employment thau by taking an Agency for this Case. It can be obtained by writing to J. S.
