LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. " HKenaallville. " The pressure in opposition to the sppointment of C. O. Myers tor Postmaster became so great that he has finally “wilted” He stood up as long as his pipey legs would let him, but bad to succumb to the blows hurled at him by John Weston, Mitchell, Bunyan, Colgrove, and others, I asked one of the actors in this exciting drama how Myers felt. He said that he’ felt considerably humiliated and very ‘much down. In a'former article I said that Myers possessed considerable cunning, and his obtaining the post office in the manuer be did confirms it, and if the fellow had the ability to carry it out he would be master of the situation to day in spite of the people, but there he fails. His promised personal article of course will be missing. His assault upon John Weston, and others, will not appear.— Those who gave quasi support to the present administration during the last campaign will be allowed to go. on without exposure, and we shall miss much that would have been funny, if be bad beld out. When I say that the excitement here has been fearful over this matter, it conveys. only & faint impression of the facts. Buss incss bas Leen at a stand still ; dinners have grown.cold on the table; messages were sent by good house wives for their absent husbands, wondering what detained them. Before Myers‘“wilted,” however, he exacted a promise that they should “fix things up,” that is, pay the indebtedness of the last campaign.. It would “hardly be expected that he would lose Andrews’ and Park’s shares of the iudebtedness, which be assumed upon their signing his petition. The strong argument used was, the sure ruination of his paper if he per sisted in holding the post office. They told him they wounld drop his paper, take outtheir advertisements and woald induce another man to start a republican paper bere and would give it their support. - Since writing the above, I attended the meeting called for the purpose of giving Myers a chance to cxplain and define his ‘position.. The meeting was held in the Mitchell Hall. Myers came forward in fine style, threw his manuscript upon the ‘table, cast hiseyes over the large audience, and commenced by saying : “This is an age of investigation.”” He talked about Credit Mobilier and “our own Colfax.” He spoke of- the Hascall purchase, the Billy Williams bargain and sale, the buying out of the Journal office, his publish ing the delinquent tax list and charging the county nothing. his .quarrel with Pal miter, with Stoll, and with Joe, ‘about Billy Matchell giving him §l5O, abont his owing the First National Bank $3OO, about losing his pass cn the Grand Rapids Railroad, about his struggles to get along since he came to Kendallville, about the tremendous influence he holds over those who control post offices and, finally, closed with- a peroration which would have done honor to Billy Williams in his palmiest days. - | ; »

Resolutions were introduced compli mentary to Myers, alleging that he had done just as any other man would under like circpmstances. James Bunyan said that the people had nothing against Mr. Myers but wanted to vote for their choice for post master, Judge: Wildman said that Myers had acted all right in the matter, and that Sayler was the scoundrel. Mr. Colgrove said that it was the most. thagnanimous act he ever saw. John Weston said those who wanted Myers to give up the post office must come forward and pay up the indebtedness of the party. Bill Groh said that Myers would be a fool to leave it to the people. - Myers failed to say at any time during the meeting that he would resign the post office and let the people choose a. post master. The meeting seemed to have been gotteh up to let Myers pettifog his case, and-those who made the most noise ‘in oppusition to him were there ready to assist hiw. . Herman Opitz, a German by birth, aged about 28 years, hung himself on Monday night, near or on H. Roberts’ farm, a short distance from this place. The cause is supposed to have been some trouble with his girl, whom he left in Germany. He, it is said, had threaténed to hang bimself some time ago. An inquest is being held by Thomas L.

. Letter from Stark County. = ~WasnINGTON TP., BTARK Co., InD,, } , March 25th, 1873, Eprrorß BANNER: — The citizens of North Bend township were very much borrified, on the 24th, by the self destruction of Mr. Wm. Gentry, who committed suicide by taking a dose o strychnine.— He informed his family on the night previous that it would be the last night he would be with them ; that befort another setting of the sun he would be in eternity. The next morning he went to Marmont to a doctor and asked for a dime’s worth of strychnine, which was given him and he started to go away, when the doctor ¢alled him back and asked who he should look to for the pay. By way of apology, he explained that he was thinking of something else and forgot to pay it. On bis way home he emptied his tobacco box, filled it with water, put in the strychnine and drank it. He was seen in the act by a young man named Sellers. He told Sellers to tell the doctor his medicine did not operate and that he was going to Plymouth to get some that would. ' After walking a few rods he fell. Sellers gave th¢™arm to the neighbors and in a short ti@nb{nber were present. He qwas asked if he wanted to go home. He said he was going to his home in heaven. A short time before he died he asked f r some milk. His death occurred in about half an hour after taking the strychnine. The deceased leaves a wife and eight children, was about forty years of age and a class—leader in the United Brethren Church. ‘We had a few days of pleasant weather last week, but it has turned cold and stormy again. | - , Since the snow left wheat looks in some places as though it was winter.killed. Mr. Jas. Thompson, formerly of Noble county, lost a horse last week. Mr. Jonathan Smucker, of. Lagrange county, landed bete a few weeks ago, deLermined to try the realities of Stark coun ty life. . c S The singing school in North Bend township, conducted by Mr. S. B. Yoder, formerly a resident of Noble county, has proved a success. 8. B. means “business” when he goes into a singing class. We need a tew more such good feltows to help build up society in Stark county. Our school closed a few daysago. The teacher, Mr. Milton Myers, is a medel in his profession. ey : g Rev. Dayvid Morrell and C. Hooley, of the “Patch,” paid 1s a visit. We wish some more of our-old friends would do the same. | _ . Anoid friend remarked that I would better sign my letters “Big Feet,” but as I am under no obligations to him at present, I will decline doing so. i LONGFELLOW.

: . Intereston Judgments, The act regulating interest on judgments,'{approved February sth, 1873, pro vides “That all judgments on contracts hereafter rendered shall bear ‘the same rate of interest expressed in tlie contract upon which such judgment is rendercd. The court rendering such judgment shall specify therein the rate of interest which the same shall bear; Provided, That when no rate of interest is expressed in such contract, or a greater rateis expressed than ten per cent. per annum, such judgment shall bear interest at the rate of six per cent. per annum ; Provided, That the provisions of this act shall not apply to contracts heretofore made.” - - Partics who heretofore depended so largely upon a reduction of the rate of interest by having suit brought against sbem, will now probably change thew tactics. : —_——— e P—— . ‘Northern Indiana Yet the Best. Isaac Dean, a citizen of Millersburg, Elkhart' county, recently made a visit to the State of Tennessee, with a’ view to finding 2 more agreeable location. The result of his investigations are thus set forth by a correspondent who interviewed the gentleman upon his return home: - “He said while in Chattanooga he saw {armers bring in wood to trade for groceries, hauling it with an o% harnessed up, with coffee sack for backband, and hitched to an old wagon. He comes back satisfied tbat he cannot better himself by going South.. Hunting for a better country than Northern Indiana, all things considered, is about like the Spaniards hunting for the “fountain,” the waters of which would change “old age to youth.” It 1s true that we are deficient in higher schools for learning, and have a little more “miasmatic poison” in our atmosphere than is desirable, but these are difficulties that may beovercome.” v ;

The Views of an Indiana Democrat. “Sentinel,” the Bristol correspondent of the Elkhart Union, writes to that journal: : The telegraph and daily papers bring the news that Indiana Democrats are about taking a new departure in politics, and that Goy. Hendricks is taking steps, looking to the formation of a new party, afi} that this party is to be tounded on the live issues of the present, and based on the bed rock of affirmative principles, that shall strike at the root of evils which are now attracting the attention of the majority of thinking men of the nation. It is to be hoped that this report is true—the country is ripening for a change. Of this any one must be convinced, who is a careful reader of the action taken by the -people, in different parts of the land—but meore especially in the State of Illinois—there, perhaps faster than anywhere else, are the eyes of the producing classés being rapidly opened to a true understand ing of the causes of the present misfor - tunes. ; i o we % % * # Let us bave a new party by all means. Let it start soon, and free trom all entangling alliances. Count none among its originators, or upholders, who are contaminated with the disease of money getting and giving illegally, which has been so prevalent of-late. ~ Every mother's son of them must be remitted to the shades of private lite, and a new crop of honest men-must. take their places. The times are propitious. Another and most important election is coming- on apace. Let the leaders put the ball in motion ; the people are ready, and now is the time for action. | .

- Farmers taking the Lead. : Advices from Washington indisate that the Democratic politicians are at work organizing either a new party'? or consult. ing as to the means of preserving intact and strengthening the old by such compromises and concessions as the exigencies of the times may justify. The politicians wil] betore long be saved all tr.uble on this seore. The farmers of the great northwest bave taken the matter of making aud unmaking parties in their own hands, and will create o party based upon the necessities of the hour, to which all prudent and nf:oioua men will joyfully submit. “Dinta’ ye heéar the slogan.”— Huntinglon Democrat, '

Remarkable Success of Dr. N, F. Covke’s Case of Family Medicines, . Homeophatic, with Instructions. There is probably no book or arjicle now being s.ld through Aﬁents in this country, that is meeting with such marvelous success as Dr. CookE 8 hgnnmmn Case. Agents are reaping & golden harvest with it. On account of its great convenience, utility and cheapness, as well a 8 for the money and suffering it will 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 opportu nity to purchase it, Dr. N. F. Cooke is one of Chicago’s greatest physicians. He was for many years the Professor of Theery and Practice of the Hahnemann -Medical College, and is auther 'of many, important medical works,— Each Case 1s prepared by him and bears his certificate and signature.” This Case of Medicie is an larticle that well deserves the approbation and patronage of the people, for there are not mﬁnry physisians that would risk the ill-feeling of the professionat large, by enlightening the people onthese subjects and placing the means of cure right in the hands of the people themselves, for as the great Zimmerman Bays ‘“‘Physicians live and thrive on the L%no.rance of the people”’ With this Case of edicines and its carefully prepared book, giving full descriptions, symptoms and treat meut, any one can successfully treat, 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 medicine 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 ¢ffective, safe and conveniens medicines, and the success of Agents already eugaged upon it proves that point beyond all doubt: Any gentlenman or lady having the time to spare, could find no more profitable employment than by taking an Agency for this Case. It can be obtained by writing t 6 J. 8.
