LOCAL CORRESPONDENOCE: ©* KemdaHville. : The post office war still continues. The past week has been full of, jacidents and excitement. Thewpposition to Myershas been somewhat, weakened by the action of several of the leaders who have gone over to the enemy and-are mow urging him to hold on t 6 the office in spite of the people. The result of the first meeting was very unsatisfactory to most of our citizens, It was gotten up evidently to hoodwink the people into the support of Myers a 8 Post Master., What Mr. Colgrova could have wmeant by saying, at that meeting, that it was “the most magnanimous act he ever witnessed,” is certainly unexplainable.

The posting up of a few written notices announced another meeting on last” Friday evening and drew together a“large audience at Mitchell’s ball. J..C. Hill was made Chairman of the meeting. A committee was appointed, with James Bunyan as.its chairman, to present reso lutions for the ‘consideration of the meeting. Committee reported recommending that an election be held on the 12th of April for the purpose of électing a Post Master, ulso stating the qualifications of voters and some other minor points. A motion to adopt the rgport brought John Weston to bis feet, and then commenced a war of words, which, to a disinterested party, was certainly very funny. He soon devetoped the fact that his object was to ‘talk the meeting to death and prevent the adoption of the committee's resolutions. Various members of the audicnce ealled him to order, asking him to take his seat. He was frequently interrupted, but it did no good. Then they :tried -bissing. I venture to say that one hundred-of the audience were hissing at one time, but the more they hissed the louder he talked. He said he had lived in Indiana too long to be bissed down by such a crowd. He walked backward and forward, swinging his arms defiantly and talking at the top of his voice. The Marshal was appealed to to take him out. Members of the audierce aroused acd attacked him persnnally, but finally Jumes Bunyan boldly went forward and demanded that the chairman should put the question in spite of W. The crowd then called loudly .for.the question, which was put amidst much noise anG confusion and was carried by a large majority. After the transaction of some other business, the meeting adjourned, but with a good deal of bad humor. During the meeting, however, J. C. Hill administered some very plain facts to those gentlemen who have beea 8o “magnanimous.” Bill Groh developed the fact during the meeting that he als) “under stood his business,” and, like Weston, is a strong supporter of Myers. Bitter dis. cusgion continued on the streets long after the meeting had disperéed and has been revived at intervals ever since, The result of all this is that C.-O. Myers will hold the post office in spite of the members of the republican party, and he so éxpr,egses himself. DBut. those who opposed him bave this to console them: They have puf their opposition upon record, and any othier, man but- C. O. Myers would have bowed to their demands.

Let me tell the facts about the $6OO that Myers received before he would sup port Billy Williams «for Congress. He (Myeis)-says that the money was to pay for publishing a delinquent list. Now the facts are, Myers agreed to publish the list for nothing in order to keep it away from Palmiter, who had offered to do it for twenty-five dollars. He saya the Commissioners would have paid him.— That is not true, as they did not owe him anything for it. Myers said in the Standard, in reply to some charges made against him by “Horace” last fall, that he did publish the list for nothing. He and Palmiter, in order to kill one another fimancially, were doing a great deal of printing for nothing, and each was anxious to be recognized as the organ of the party. This will account for bis publishing this list for nothing. He received ' the’ $6OO in consideration that be would cbange his paper from the support of Hascall to that of Billy Williains, and all concerned understood it in that way. There is a rumor of another suicide,said to have occurred near. Lisbon, ’ - Bixler Lake is full, higher than it has been for yeurs. A , Abe Hier was here last week, trying to catch a delinquent creditor from "your place, but a schedule of property saved him- . L Bill Groh was the bearer of a very important document from Fort Wayne last Monday, 1t being no less than C. 0. Myers’ commission as Post Master of Kendallville. Why the little thing was not permitted to come to this office is perhaps plain, yet I have no doubt it will take the office forthwith, : ; The father of Oliver Guyer, who is a citizen of this place, is yet living at the advanced age of 103 years. Also an aunt, sister to his father, he informs us, is now 105 years old. . JOE.

gy Wawaka. i I . Wawaka is an Indian ‘name, and no' doubt there is a legend attached to it, if we only knew what it was. The name meduns ugly, rough, repulsive. We admit. there j¢ something in a name, but we think the town, or st least the people, has some redeeming features. «She is not 1 ‘wholly joined to*her idols; indced, some good can come oup of Nazareth, We are all glad to welcome the Robin, the heralder of Spring, and the growling thunder on Saturday night gave tokeni that the heart of old Winter is broken. T all places Spring is beautiful, intoxicating, and sets the poet wild. : Wawaka has opened a home [heatre; nct a play from Shakespeare, but a resl comedy, with now and then a little tragedy, just to make it spicy. The green coated musicians are having a grand boliday ; the whole orchestra from high soprano; down to double bass are swelling their throats before the foot lights at the Theatre. The play is a confab be tween Spring and Summer. The scenery is the prismatic colors of the rainbow and the setting sun against the ethereal blue of the sky. Tuae waters leap through the veins of‘earth, the gap through the trees and plants, and ‘the blood through the veins of \man, and, Ob what a thing of delight, and this is the prelude which announces the opening scene. Our. auditory nerves are not confused, for this is a drama of every day life in which all, young and.old, take a part, ‘The Whip powillffamily are expected every duy among us. - Then the great Kalaidoscope will change the scene—change i 3 written on everything. Pardon me, Mr. Editor, I see I am digressing from local rules; it is 80 hard to write notes without comments.

The actual population of Wawaka is 350 souls, including women, idiots, and children, as Miss Dickinson would say. Our citizens are not trying tc enforce the new liguor law at present, for the measles are 80 thick that whisky shing is indis pensable ; but we shall commeunce. “right smart” when the disease subsides. There is & new Grccery and Provision store here, kept by Hank Kime. We hope he wil| keep a full assortment to supply the demands of all. ] -Mipisterial meeting in Wawaka last week. .'Our people appear to be having & religious chill. = What does it mean?

————e e : Avilla. ! The community was startled by a report last Sunday afternoon, that a man had been found dead, banging on the limbof a maple tree in Mrs. Wimer’s woods,; one and a half miles northof town. On hearing the sad news, hundreds of people went to the place to witness the scene. 8o also did [your reporter, with the intention of gathering such facts as might be interesting to the readers of the BANNER. Onarriving at the place; I ob: served the dg‘ad man, whose name is John Gilmore, with his feet almost touching the ground, and a piece of his shirt tied around his neck, suspended from thelimb ot a maple tree; his body swelled quite strong. It is supposed that he was hang ing there for about thirty.six hours, ashe was seen in town in a saloon, t‘pkih'g a glass of beer. On searching his person, there was found a pocket book contain-’ ing 9 cents, and a memorandum book conteining sundry writings, including bis name, and also the date when his mother in-law died. What led bim to commit this rash act is not definitely known. Acquaintances tell the following tale, and give a sketch of his life: He was married some years ago, when he stole a watch, was detected, arrested and convicted, and sentenced to two years imprisonment at Michigan city. = Haviog served his time out, he was released some time last fall, returned home and again lived with his former wife and removed to .Au burp, Ind., and afterwards to Mr. Lum. “‘Lobdell's, a farmer and his brother-in-‘law, who lives two miles east of this vil lage.

- A Rejoinder. ' _ Eprror BanNer—Sir: Inregard to the difficulty that hasarisen between Mr. 8. Y. Greenawalt and myself, I would simply say this: That if the gentleman is as innocent as he claims to be, I of course beg his pardon, as I am not certain of the fact, although I still hear by some that he did write; and not wishing to dispute with the gentleman’s reply to my letter, I trust to his honesty. As he requestsa proper retraction through the columns of the BANNER 80 a 8 to save me trouble and him mortification, and as we are all aware that mortification is dangerous, I of course do not wish bhim so great a misfortune. The gentleman stated that had I done as I would have others ‘do to me, I would have come to him and investigated the matter, instead of presenting it to the public in the manner in which I did. I would have come to hlm to investigate the matter, but as I frequently met him and be did not think me worthy of notice as well as'the rest of my comrades, I did not think he would enjoy a conversation with me, so I declined doing so. The gentleman claims I have slandered him. I ackoowledge that my previous letter contained slander, but I did not accuse him of stealing, as their society accused me, of which I am as innocent as he claims to be ‘of writing about me. /I trust havc not wronged the gentleman this time, nor picked at the wrong nest of crows. 8.

: Donation—Thanks. : . Eprror Baxxgr:—We desire to .tender our thanks to the kind people of Salem Pastorate, Lutheran’Church, for their many tokeus of appreciation and respect. The ministerial office isone of labor and toil, trial and perplexities, and frequently the dark clouds hover over and around him; but through the clouds the rays of kindness often shine, crossing his pathway, cheering him in his/ weary toil. The companion of a minister must share with him the trials and duties of the ministerial office; hence, when kindness is conferred, it cheers both. We have been the recipients of many favors from our friends upou the entire Pastorate; but especially would 'we remember the people of Salem congregation; for a donation ‘made a few weeks ago, amounting to about forty dollars. With thc provisionsand articles presented was a beautiful new quilt for Mrs.. Leathers. It was presented to her by the young people of Salem. For this token of their appreciation she remembers them with sincere thanks, and, also, the little friends who. sent her money wrapped up in bits of paper. With many thanks and well wishes for all who have conferred tavors, we subscribe our names, / Rev, A. LEATHERS, : Mrs. 8.
