We have no further’ particulars. The morning express was detained at Ken. dailville until the track could be cleared. —The past week was one of unusual excitement in this place. The corporation “suit against Coprad,the railroad quandary, a slander suit, Paul’s croton oil operation, George's scan. mag., a tew private knock: downs, a drunken Buffuloer in limbo—surery oughe to satisfy the lovers of things - that are sensational. : —A Lima correspondent writes: “The fear in regard to the wheat being badly injured i’s fully verified. Many of the farmers are sowing spring wheat on the places killed. Mr Thompson has import ~ed two car loads, aud yet there is gall for ‘l.more. There 18 a great demand for corn ; many farmers are out and buying.”

—Here is en item from the Goshen Democrat that ought to bave the effect of setting our moneyed men to thinking ;— “We learn that the Goshen Manufacturing Co., Dr. Beyerle Sup’t., have con tracted to furnish $45,000 worth ot castings for thé American Sewing Machine Co, and, that Fravel, Eisenhour & Co., will furnish the present season, for the Weed Co., some $15.000 worth of wood work for the machines. This looks like business.” B i —A tramping miller from Buffalo, N Y., stopped off at this station last Thursday, indulged pretty freely in' fighting whisky, created a disturbance, threatened to smash things generally, and cut up sundry other little capers that are contrary to the ordinances of our corporation. Marshal Braden brought the chap before Squire Green who assessed the usual fine. Tramp, of course, had no money, and was therefore accommodated with lodging in the caliboose. He was'released next morn ing, and allowed to-proceed on his jour - ney esstward. —'T is dangerous to speak without deliberate reflection. We know of at least one man in this county who will concur in this opinion, and the “reason why” may be ascertained in the following:~ Some time during last winter an old stager. of Sparta township took a buxom youngwidow of this place sleigh riding, and happened to pass the gentleman to whom reference is made above, and who, at the time, was conversing with a friend. The latter inquired who that young lady was, and in reply received the information that she was “a Ligonier w—." This remark somehow came to the ear of the widow, who at once called into requisition na attorey to vindicate her character. Suit was instituted in the Common Pleas Court, and a pretty strong case set up against the defendant. Satisfled tbat conviction was inevitable, defendant settled the case by disclaiming any and all knowledge of unchastity on part of the widow, and by Mtng down $l6B in lawfal currency, which, we are happy to state, has completely appeased the wrath of the persecuted but now gloriously vin-

. .. Man’s Folly. Quite g sensation was created in town last Sunday by the anuouncement that Geo. H. Kime, a grocer, bad abandoned his family and formed an alliante with a | young girl named Ann Hutchinson. The facts in the case are substantially as follows: Ann was formerly in the employ of Kime; an intimacy sprang bp between the two, which, coming to the inotice of George's wife, resulted in ti:e dismissal of ‘the girl. This did not, however, work the desired change, George continuing ‘'his attentions tu the reckless girl, and apparently paving the way for a s,ebaration from his wite and_ family. On Sunday morning, during Mrs. Kime’s visit to her parents, the faithless husband repaired to Anu's residence. Several friends soon thereafter called at the latter place and demanded an interview with the infatuated young man. They were informed that be was not about the premises, Mrs, Kime, being notified of what had.transpired, also called at the Hutchinson residence and demanded to see her husband. A like response was made to her inquury, with the additional remark that if the house was to be scarched, 8 warrant must first be obtained. A bystander then sug- i gested that Marshal Braden be called, 1 which bad the desired effcct. George | came forth from bis hiding place, and hesitatingly followed his wife to the res. idence of her parents. Friends and relatives entreated him to aband« n bis eriminal course, but he was utterly indifferent to every snggestion in bebalf of his own welfare, and stoically declined to assign even the faintest reason in justification of bis extraordinary and reprehensible course. : s

| That he had fally determined to leave his family is evidenced by the fact that on Saturday evening he disposed of his en tire stock of goods, &c., to Theodore May: er at a sacrifice of several hundred dollars. He settled a number of accounts the same night and on the Sunday following.— Quite'a number of claims are still held -against him by parties in this’ locality, and it is generally believed that between. five aud six hundred dollars are owing to wholesale establishments in Toledo and elsewhere, ‘ . : The excitement, at one time, appeared quite intense, threats of administering a coat of tar and feathers to George and Aun being fréely uttered by the indig - nant people who watched their movements all day. We are pleased to state, however, that no_actQ of vivlence were resorted toby our justly incensed citizens, Wholly unmindful of the protestations and earnest entreaties of hisdeeply grieved parents,and the implorations of his shamefully wronged wife, George boarded the eastward-bound express on 'Suur'fay night, without, however, .heing ac'companiied oy the wretched girl who is ths immediate cause of all this trouble. ~ Whither he bds gone is not known. It was reported that he did not proceed farther east than Ken dallville, baving been seen aboard the westward bound train early on Monday ‘morning. With a faint hope ot yet reclaiming an erring son, the father, last Tuesday, proceeded tc Elkhart and Mishawaka, but the most thorough inquiries tailed to give & clue to his whereabouts.

i T MY ‘ ~ The Corporation vs. A. 8. Conrad. At a special meeting of the Town Council, corporation attorney Knisely was in structed to institute proceedings against Adara 8 Conrad for erecting a frame building on lot No. 28, which premises are included in the fire limits established by ordinance. o A hearing was had before Justice Green on Thursday afternoon, Capt. J. A. 8. Mitchell, of Goshen, appearing for the defendant, and Isaac E. Knisely for the corporation. At our request, the officiat - ing Justice farnished us! the following statement of the case and the decision rendered : i i i

The statute gives incorporated towns the power to enact ordinances to prevent: the ‘erection of wooden buildings within prescribed fire limits.” A. 8. Conrad was charged with ‘moving a'wooden building upon lot No. 28, O. P. to the town of Ligonier,’ the same being within said fire limits, for which he was liable to a fine of $lO, for permitting the same to remain on sald lot one day, according to an ordinance of said town. A motion was made to quash said complaint, by the defendant, which motion was sustained by the court on the ground that the statute only empowered incorporated towns to pass ordinanges to prevent the erection of wooden buildings, and not to prevent the moving of buildingsalready erected with: in said fire limits, from one place to another'in gaid fire limits. 'The court held that simply moviog a bpilding did not constitute an erection, a‘r_:cordin’g to the meaning of the statute, and that the detendant was therefore not guilty under said charge, » - We bLelieve the court to have erred in rendering this decision. It seemsutterly incredible that the Legislature contemplated such a thing as enabling perverse individuals to defeat the very purpose for which the law under consideration was epacted. We believe the term “erect” fully covers such cases, and have faith that ‘the higher courts will so decide should a case be presénted. i :

Liguor Law Prosecutions. * Deputy Prosecutor Covell was last Tuesday summoned to Rome City, to conduct the prosecution of several persons charged with violating the new liquor law. The first case called up was that of Dr. Robert B. Williams, for being found in & state of intoxication. . Found guilty. The Doctor flatly refused to give the name of the person of whom the liquor was ob tained, claiming that the spirits he drank were kept on hand by h}mselt for medi. cinal purposes. Justice Dickson did not consider this satisfactory, and the Dector was therefore sentenced and committed to ten days imprisooment in the Noble county jail. Tobias Holsinger,, who was 8 witnees in tMis case, testified that the Dr. was not drunk, “only mad.” The facts as developed during the progress of the trial, in the opinion of the prosecutor, failed to sustain this conclusion, and charges of perjury were accordingly pre: ferreﬁ. Holsinger was bound over 1n the sum of $5OO, Charges of intoxication were preferred against two other parties, but the cases were transferred to another Justice by change of venue The result has not yet been communicated to s, . -

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. e ! Kend;q‘vﬂle. i . I presume the post office question of this town is becoming quite obnoxious to ‘most of your readers as well as to myself, but there are a few things yet that should be said, and I know of no better way for them to reach the public ear than through the columns of the BANNER. ~ Yet, possibly, when the “post office column of mail 'news” opens up in the Standard we may -get it, though I imagine his “news” will “be of quite a different character, There is a general feeling of disgust expressed by the people of this place and “vicinity in regard to the position of John Weston in this post office matter, He was at the first loud in his denunciations of the appointment of Myers, and the 'query with mai]y is, what bas wrought so great a change in his sentiments. You re .collect the article in the Standard, after this war commeuced, declaring that he would publish some “interesting personal news” in his next issue. Some say that threat undoubtedly frightened bim (Wes. ton) into the s;x‘pport of C. O. Myers, and I must cnnfesé“i‘hat it does look somewhat that way. “ It has generally been believed that Weston had more nerve than that. The idea of & man Jike John Weston, an old citizen of this county, and a man who bas done so much in shaping .its destiny, to be frightened by a man like C. O. Myers, and be made to support those who bave said of him that “if be had his just deserts he would be serving out a term in the Penitentiary I” is simply ridiculous, but nevertheless true.’ ““Joe” is a liberal cuss. Heicontributed a dollar toward Bunyan's Pﬁgrim Progress.—Standard. 1 - You are mistaken; ' that was Weston's progress. He was the man who was'to go to Washington, and he was to say to Morton and Sayler; “Have you any more post offices to sell 2 T have come to buy.” Bat, through Weston treachery, “Joe” got his dollar back. 3

Myers says in his last week’s issue that the Bunyans and L. H. Jobnson are not Republicans, That was news to almost everybody in this neighborhood. T will agree with him thai: they are not his kind of Republicans. They z,ever have to be paidjto support the nominees of their par: ty. Take out thesé gentlemen and there is but little of respectability left among thoge who do the hard work of that party in this vicinity, ' I learned a little more about the order given by Myers, on Eden Fisker, to pay the Albion Band. Mr. Fisher “did not honor the draft,” and up to thie time it bas not been paid, as I was told by a member of the band, and I should not be sur. prised to bear of Mr, Isbell’s entering the post office, under command of a writ from ‘Squire Graves, and demanding the payment of that $35 —judgiog by the Albion man's conversation. 3

If any one wishes to know about C. O Myers’ opérations during the "campai.gna I would refer him to Wm, Buanyan, who can: tell some facts worth knowing. Nobody ever paid any money but what they paid to him, and Bunyan says nothing ever left Myers’ pocket -for campaign purposes after -he got hold of it. Bill says he was very careful not to let C. 0. get hold of any of bis money, knowing if he did it would go no farther. . Carr Green has resigned the position of Deputy Assessor, for the reason that be had not time to attend to it. . His farm demands the greater portion of his time. Charles G. Aichele has been sppointed to fill the vacancy. -He will, no doubt, give entire satisfaction. ] Those boys who disturbed that singing school, and who arrested their accusers for false swearing, have again met with bad lack. Itisto be hoped they will hereafter behave themselves and not intrude upon the-peaceful enjoyments of others. : - - The repairs on the Catholic church are nearly completed. It looks well. “Joe” has a dollar invested in it; and he expects to draw the Organ. , - It is said that the Era office furnishes one column of news to the Standard. It strikes me it would luok better for “Hub” to serve his own master. i H. E. Wadsworth gave us a call last Friday. : : - Some one asked Judge Tousley, when Jn this place a few days ago, if he #gye Myers his $lOO to pay for publishing the 'delinquent list. He answeréd very decidedly, “I did not, sir.” : C. O. Myers took possession of the post office last Monday morning. ; The people of this town are criticising very closely the contract made between the Council and Messrs. Ninde and Fay, their attorneys in:the railroad swits, If the city gains the suit, the attorneys are to have $15,000 and all the difference be tween our stock and the city bonds, if any. Many think there will be a big difference in favor of our stock.” _ : Dr. Creditor, of Angola, will soon take away one of Kendallville's fairest daugh~ ters. : ‘ .

Hawpatch. 'i?he excitement over the land sales still centinues. Land is so high that money won't buy it. W, Parks has been offered $125 per acre for his farm, and Pat Cass has had an offer of $ll5, but they are not ready to sell yet. ; ,‘ J. J. Olinghouse and 8. L. Bodle deliv ered at the mill yard of J. Kime 141 walnut and cherry and 100 white- wood and ash saw logs, ‘which cut 72,800 feet of lumber. Mr. Byler had five white-wood logs sawed, which cut 4,700 feet of mark-~ etable lumber. - ' ‘ ‘We are no longer in doubt about the Qanada Southern Railroad being located through the Hawpatch, for I have been confidentially informed that we shall have the coveted prize. Hurrah for the Canada Sonthern Railroad !

I Canada Southern Railway. - ~ From the Goshen Democrat of last Sat‘urday we clip the following important ‘railroad item: One of our citizens called upon Mr. Geo. Goss at Kalamazoo recently, to in‘quire about the prospects of the Canada Southern Railroad. He learned that the bridge for the crossing of the Detroit River at Treaton, was nearly completed, that work was progressing. from the De troit River to the Indiana State Line; that the line ot the road was located trom the east as far as Wolcottville ;j that it would soon be located westward to New Paris; that the line would cross the Lake Shote at Ligonier or Millersburg ; that as soon as located it would be placed under contract, and certainly be completed in 1873 to New Paris. From the latter Ppoint connection would be made, temporalily, with Chicago, via_the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne Road. Mr. Goss estimates that, en such a road as the Canada South ern, freight can be transported at 215 mills per ton per mile, or one sixth of the present charge. He thinks the Benton Harbor Road should be built by all means.

g The Coming Horse Disease. : Another terrible infliction is beginning its march upon the horses. It makes its appearance in the legs, is not considered fatal, but is putting people to great in convenience in ‘the east, where it has ap peared, A Boston paper says: “The disease makes its appcarance like what is called ‘the scratches,” but is totally differ ent from that malady as it progresses through the various stages. Veterinary surgeons are puzzled to affix a name to it, although they say that it is a species of hoof rot. They have all they can do to meet the calls upon their time. The method of treatment thus far has been the application of liniments and swaddling the diseased locality with flannel. Abso: lute rest is also prescribed, although some horses are aliowed to take exercise gently every day. The disedse has increased largely within a week.” .

—The disastrous effect of neglecting to subscribe for a live county pgpér was vi vidly illustrated last ~S¥lbday by a Haw patch farmer who came_to town on busi ness, all the while thinking it was Satur- ‘ day. He expressed protound_a’stonish-“\ ment.at the few numbér of teams in town, and wondered why merchants were not at their posts. A friend finally set him right; lo ! how astonished he was. The old man’s mistake appears all the more. ludicrous in the light-of the fact that the only paper he reads is a religious journal. . —Our Kendallville correspondent, a short time since, reported the capture of an immense pike in one of the lakes near Kendallville. Friend Dodge, of the “Brown Hotel” at Lagrange, writes us that that pike story was 'prettx steep, and solicits further particulars. He says thas be himself recently caught a pike in Tur key Lake that weighed 19 Ibd, and thinks himself entitled to the “belt” unless the Kendallville fisherman can prove bis pike to have been bigger. —Ethelbirt G. Fisher, who devoted several years-to ‘qualifying himself as a disciple of Guttenberg, but subsequently became enamored with railroading, head-~ quarters at F't. Wayne, gave us a call last Monday. He looks as if his digestive or. gans were in excellent order, and evidently teels quite at home in his new field of usefulness, Birt is.a faithful lad and deserving of success. e e dangerousto rouse the lion; dead.’ ly is the-tiger’s tooth; but the terriblest of terrors is to so excite the indignmation of a fair damsel as to prompt her to raise ber delicate hand and allow it to come in forcible contact with the nasal organ of a hopeful youth. ’'Tis sad: but such things will happen, even at fashionable balis! —Public Sale of 15 head of horses, 14 head of cattle, a lot of hogs, a variety. of farming utensils, several hundred bushels of corn, a lot of fence posts and lumber, household and Kitchen furniture, and a nwinber of articles too numerous to mention, will take place at Robert L. Carl’s, in the Hawpatch, on Wednesday, May 7. —The roof of the buifging in which the job printing establishment of J. R. Ran dall & B>n, Indianapolis, is located, caught fire one day last week and was entirely consumed. Considerable damage was sustained by Messrs. Randall; -but their loss i§ fully covered by insurance. ' —Carr Green concluded that it was al} folly for him to worry his brain over the assessment law, and accordingly tendered: his resignation as deputy assessor for Ken dallville. Charlie Aichele+became his successor, and qualifled last Saturday.’ .+ —We are pleased to announce that our townsman, J. C!

AN ExcELLENT PEN.—We have been favored with a sample card of the celebrat. ed Spenceriaa Steel Pens, andafter trying them quite thoroughly are convinced of their superior merit. These pens are com. prised in fifteen numbers, each differing in flexibility and fineness of puint, so that the most fastidious penman cannot fail to find among the fifteen just such a pen as suits him. The Spencerian Pens are famous for their elasticity of movement,’smoothness of point and great durability, and are a nearer approximation to the real Swan Quill Pen than any thing hitherto made. They are manufactured in England under the supervision of the original inventor of Steel Pens, thevenerable Josiah Mason, and Joseph Gillott—the latter making a few of the numbers after the models of the late P. R. Spencer, the famous penman. They are used yery largely in the common s',j{nols of the United States, in all the principal commercial colleges, in the government offices ‘throughout thecountry, the sale reaching an enormous quality ‘annually. For the. convenience of ‘those ‘who may wish to try them, a sample card of the Spencerian Pens may be bad by mail by enclosing 25 cents 'to Messrs, Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor & Co., 188 and 140 Grand Street, N. Y., or the ‘pens may be bought at almost any store ‘where pens are sold. :
