Ty That Big Land Sale, : The Goshen Times, after quoting our account of the extevsive real estate pur.. chase by Mr, Gale, makes the following comment : B gl ¢ The consummation of this transaction, it is thought by those who have watched the course of things, determines the location of the Canada Southern Railroad, and is favorable for the Millersburg route, but the BANNER either ftails to see the point, or else is not willing to admit that Ligonier i 8 not to have the road. It may be safe to predict that these tracts of land have been bought in the interest of this Railroad Company, or other parties who expect 'to speculate largely in them by the location ot this road through the Hawpatch, whereby an important point will be bailt up in that locality, making this land valuable for railroad and other pur poses. Time will tell. : The BANNER pleads guilty to not “see ing the point” as the ZUmes sees it, and for very excellent reasons. Mr. Gale, the the day after be had made bis purchases, called at our office and gaveus a very frank statement of the purpose he had in view in expending so large a sum of mon ey for real estate. The substance thereof is that he and his brothers bad long been desirous of purchasing a large tract of land for a “model farm”; that be had trav. eled a great distance, North and South, East and West, to find a location that would suit his purposes in every particular ; that he intended to devote his atten-

tion principally to the raising of blooded horses ; that he found the Hawpatch pe culiarly adapted to the growing of the Kentucky Blue Gress; that the land he purchased contained a gieat deal ot tim-— ber of (to him) extraordinary value ; and, in short, tbat be had at last found what be had so long been looking for in other States. : He added that in due course of time he would show us a farm the equal of which could not easily be found. The connec tion of his real estate transactioa with tbe location ot the Canada Southern Railway was referred to, Mr. Gale femark—ing that he had but a very slight acquaint, ance with Mr. Goss, although informed daring his stay in this locality that he (Gale) was a near relative of that enterprising manager of railroad enterprises! So much in reply to the Zimes. Now let us quote from the Lagrange Standard, which _notices the matter in these words:

LArRGE LAND SALE.—The largest land sale made in this county for many yesrs, was consummated last week,a Mr Gule, of Kalamazoo, purchasing 720 acres, 1o a body, in' the heart of Haw Patch. He! paid at the rate of $lOO an acre. The; aumes of persons purchased from will be/ seen in the list of transters. We under | stand he contemplates seeding the whole/ iand in grass this spring, and preparisg iy for astock farm, principally for raising blooded horses. It is reported that be will expecd SIOO,COO in improvements on the purchase at an early day. Ifa man can not make himself happy with such & farm, in such a beautiful section of couns try as the Haw Patch, and with that ' amount expended in improvements, there is no need of further talk of an earthly Puaradice = . o If any man, 1 the light of these facts, believes that Mr. Gale - would expend $184,000 to ““fix up” a model farm, and then divide and subdivide the same into town lots, or have its most valuable por tion cut up by the construction of a railroad, we should feel strongly tempted Lo adjudge- him ——, well, anything but a 4 wife man. .

Goand see. * e I A Cruel Hoax, In our iseue of last week we stated that our former townsman, Mr. D, T. Ulmer, bad met with a painful'accident in Stude baker's wagon shops at South Bend. This. announcement was made on the strength of a letter sent us from South Benq. of which the following is a wverbatim copy : Soutn BEND, April 7, 1873. Mz Epiror Sir—l am sery to saythat Mr D. Ulmer had his wright hand torn off to day in the traverse: it is off just above the thum Joint the otber hand is damaged som—ll thot it would be well to let bis friends no of the fact through the paper Truly yours = J. Riams, ' Several of the relatives of Mr. Ulmer repaired to South Bend, to minis@er to the wants of Mr. Ulmer. Their astonishment may be better imagined than described when they met that gentleman unharmed and uninjured, 30d ia blissfal ignorance of the origin of the report which attracted them thither. The anbexed pote from Mr. Ulmer will serve as an explanation: . ooy

‘Sourn BEND, April 13. MRr. StoLL :—I learned by the paper and the friends who came to see me in iny supposed troubles, that I had met with a great misfortune; but I can feed myself vet and do my day's work. How that report was started is more than I know, althcugh there was a man in the shop got three of:his fingers cut off, on the same day that the note was sent to you. There is a man in the shop by the name of A B. Rimes. He says be knows nothbing of the matter, but wants to see the letter; and I want to see the hand-writing. too. If I can find out who wrote such & thing I will make them wish the arm was off st the shoulder. I can get plenty of/this A B.

Dlease send me that letter. Hawley Peck and wife came to see me last evening, knowing nothing contrary to the report circulated by that infamous letter. They were happily surs prised, however, to find me well. : - _¥Yours in haste, D. T. ULMER. We earnestly hope and trust éhlt the suthor of the Rimes letter may be ferreted out and held to a rigid account for the perpetration of & cruel and worse than senseless “joke.” |

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. | : Kepg:l;vllle. v . The post office election came off on last Baturday according to appointment. The :'qumbe,r» of votes cast was about 115, of which L. H. Johnson recetved 111 and C. 0. Myers 1. This, I can assure the public, is about the ratio of Myers’ popularity in this vicinity—one-in one hundred and twolve—and it matters little who his opp« nent may be; the ratio would hold good with any other man. There was a studied effort, on the part of those who have espoused the canse of Myers, to dis- * gract the people and prevent any great number from voting. Mr. Johnson was told before the election that if be permit. ted his name to be vsed as a candidate for Post Master he would jeopardize bis ;place as Mail Agent on the Lake Bhore Railroad ; but, notwithstanding all this, | he ran, and I am told be will make use of all the means in his power to secure the place. i .

He left his bome, in Huron county, Ohio, and remarked to his daught‘er. with whom he bad been living, that she need not be anxious if she did not bear from him for several weeks, as he intended making a -visit not only to his friends near: Toledo, but also to those at Kendallville. The train on which he had taken passage fail ing to stop where he desired to get off, he was carried by and returned by the next train going back. The depot was closed and be started on foot to go to the resi: dence of his daughter. On the way it secems he became cold and stopped at a house dccupied by a widow. He knocked, but was refused admittance. He then traveled on but soon returned and request ed admission, saying that he was very cold. The woman still refused to open the door. . Some four weeks later bis body was found, in a piece of woods near the widow’s house, considerably mutilated and torn. 5 The Easter dance, at Mitchell’s hall, llast Monday evening, was not very largely “attended.

The Hog Question. ‘ ) ALLEN :ijr., Nosrz Co., IND.,} | April 9th, 1873. ¢ EpiToß BANNER:—Since our noble Legislators refused to pass the very reasonable act known as the ‘“hog law,” the porcine species has becn rampant in this vicinity. » ’ Now, a hog.in its place is perhapsa good thing. There are but few men who have not a high appreciation 'of a nice slice from the afterpart of a good porker, well cooked, with the accompanyment of a few dozen eggs; but when one comes to take the animal alive and the property of another in full possession of your corn fields, your door-yards, and every place to which their confounded ingenuity can penetrate, it is not so pleasant, - Itisa fact that many people makea practice of tnrning their swine loose upon the public the moment their neighbors commence feeding corn to their stock, and then with unmitigated impudence leave to those neighbors or their hired help the delightful task of herding them through the snow of winter or what is worse, the mud of spring, and he wbo has ever tried to keep a drove of bogs, and hungry ones at that, from the bars of a corn field long enough to get a team through, must have formed the opinion that, however it might have been in bible times, an additional devil of the ﬁmallest dimensions would burst a modern kog wide open. : = : . If a man goes to another’s corn crib and takes corn for his hogs, we call it stealing’; but, if, with the full intention of baving them break into that neighbor’s field and live on his corn, they turn them into the highway, we have no remedy, owing to the absence of a law which every principle of justice and right demands The claim that this 18 a new country is. no longer & plea against the enactment of a protection law. “The farms are fenced, and it is full as easy for a man to fence his own sfock in as for his neighbor to fence them out ; so that it is now simply a questiop of decency upon the part of ‘those who have herstofore been too mean to feed their own hogs and who prefer indirect stealing to doing so. If they continve their operations, the probability is that dead hogs will be more numeroys than live ones,—it the amiable intentions of the writer are carried out. For, after standing in twelve or fourteen inches-of mud for the past three weeks ‘and fighting big hogs and little hogs, ‘white bogs and bl;f hogs, of all ages, sexes and sizes, and: b’elo%m Tom, Dick, and Harry—ll'll be blowed if there {snot blood shed before long if the blamed _hogs are not kept at home, Lo

] From St. Joseph County, Michigan. EprTor BaNNER:—For the past few days we are reminded of the besutiful words of Solomon’s song: “For lo! the winter is past, the time of the singing of birds has come, and the voice of the turtie dove will soon be heard in our land ;” the warm breathings of spring have melted away pature’s frosty works and mother earth again presents a green bosom, on which the fruits of man’s industry grow. Wheat looks well, what is leit of it. A goodly portion of it seems to be winterkilled ; also, some of the fruit is said to be frozen, perbaps not so much as many anticipate. We trust, however, their fears may prove groundless. S - Farmers are preparing for spring work, which will commence as soonas the weather becomes settled. Here less oats is sown than in some othber localities, on account of the sandy soil, which is better fitted for corn;, and this seems to be the staple production. . 5 When we cross the Michigan line (only a short distance from where we live), we hear the Temperance law is agitating the minds of many, especially those who feel considerably interested in it. Saloonsare on a “stand still,” and we bope this may continue so for some time yet. We believe it will prove a detriment to the causers of intemperance; this is “one thing needy” among our ;ig_ople everywhére. The new school law we hope will prove advantageous to the educational cavse; it certainly will awaken an interest among the schools, - and especially with teachers. We notice by his advertisement that Mr. Houscman has opened a select scbool in Ligonier. Hisco workers are teachers whodeserve much credit as such and are all worthy of success, which they will be sure to attain. - Wej will open our school in Vistula, Indians, nothing preventing, on Tuesday after Eas,té:r.' ; ‘Will Mr. “Longfellow” write some more?

- —We learn from the La Porte papers that the “Canada Southern road, across a marsh west of Westville, has sunk some eight feet below the surface of the ground. Where a fill of some seven feet lately stood, there is now a canal some eight feet deep—quicksand.” It is reported that the workmen on that part of the line have been recalled. Walkerton is in glee, its citizens being hopeful that the road may yet be located in that neighborhood. Should this report preve correct, it will make the adoption of the Ligonier route still more certain. . —Now that the Assessors are at work, (says the SBouth Bend Z7ribune) it is worth while to remember that any false statements made on the lists render the person making them liable to a fine of from $lO to $2,000. The Assessors have bat a short time in which to complete the work required, and should be aided as much 8s possible by people having the lists made out without delay. - —The removal of an old stable upon ‘the most conspicuous spot of the Conrad Lot, excited great incigunation last Tuesday. Everybody denounced the act as a most outrageous defiance of popular sen—timent aod public decency. [P.S. The decisive action of the Council prompted Adam to remove the old shebang to its original location.]

QuesTloN No. 21.— A man dying made the following provision in his will for an anticipated heir : That if the child should be a son, two thirds of the estate shou'd be given to him, and the remainder to the mother; but if a daugbter, the mother was to have two-thirds, and the child the remainder. Both a son and daughter was added to the family.by whidh the widow lost $2400 more than if the addition had been a daughter only. What would have been: her portion had the addition beema gon only ? ‘Wm. CONNER. Two solutions have been received, but neither will tally with the author’s figures. | Fo'rget\tiing that the widow has a legal claim upon the estate, .of which no law can rob her, they reason in thiswise :— If ! the son received 24 and the daughter 14, the mother got nothing. The widow lost s24oo,which was evidently the son’s share, the estate being $3600, of which the widow would bave received 14, or $l2OO, had the addition been a son only. But here is the author's e ! SoLuTION :— Since the widow” was to ‘have twice as much as the daughter, and the son twice as much as the mother, the gon’s share would be four times that of the daughter. Hence, it the estate was divided into 7 cqual parts, the daughter wouid get 1, the mother 2, and the son 4. But had there been only a. daughter, the mother would have recéived 24 of the 7 parts, that is, 424 parts oi the estate; in consequence ot there being both a son and daughter, the widow receivea 224 (424 — 2=2%7) parts less than she would if there had been a daughter only. The2% parts are equsl to $2400; 1 part equals $9OO and the whole estate is ($900x7—56300) $6300, 15 of which, or $2lOO, would bave been the widow’s portion had there been a son only. Wi, CONNER.
