Kessler, of Orange township, has 200 acres of his “little farm” of 700 acies in wheat, and the beauty of it all is that it is in a most excellent, healthy condition. He expects to reap about 20 bushels per acre. : —We were very much gratified to form the acquaintance of Rev. Mr. Shafer, of Butler, last week. FHe has charge ct several Lutheran congregations in DeKalb county, and, in our opinion, is just the man to concentrate the somewhat ’ecg&tered forces of that ancient denomind tion. : o —Our esteemed old friend, Henry ‘Walker, of Orange township, contemplates embarking on a tour of obscrvation in the Far West. He will be accompa ‘nied by his daughter, who will spend the major portion of the summer with relatives in Towa. - : —Farmers with large flocks of sheep . will not be glad to learn that there is a prospect of low priccs for wool this sea. son.

The company proposes to erect extensive iron works, nail factory, &c. . - ; -—-Averse to holding two offices of trust and profit, Councilman Banta, last Friday, tendered his resignation as a member of the Town Board. As the | election takes place next Monday, no appointment was or will be made to fill the vacancy thuscreated. ° i —A Dr. A. G. Morey, writing to the Omaha Agriculturist, says Hydrophobia can be cured—he has never known it to fail. Take the bark from the root of the white ash, steep it strong, and drink freely of it. It will cure after symptoms of Hydrophobia have commenced. —Hon. I. D. G. Nelson, the old wheel‘horse of ths Allen County Democracy, was in town last Friday, and honored our sanctum with his presence. Ile has fought many battles in the good cause, and holds himself in.readiness to pick his flint again as soon as the cOntendinfi hosts are placed in proper array. He is emphatically in favor of a new departure. —Joseph Nelson, who may be classed among the old settlers of Lagrange county, called at our office the other week and bad bimself enrolled among our list of subscri‘l;e;s. 'He declared that he had examined quite a number of county papers, but was unable to find one that suited him so well as the BANNER, which, to use his own language, “constantly keeps a man posted on ‘everything worth knowing.” Correct. ¢

—odd Fellows:-will be pleaged to learn that the Fifty-fourth Anniversary of American Odd Fellowship was celebrated at Green Castle, this State, in a highly creditable manner. According to telegraphic reports, “representatives were present from the various lodges within a circuit of fifty to eighty miles. Past Grand Representative Schuyler Colfax delivered an eloguent address to an au. dience of some 2,000 people,speaking from the window of the college in order to be heard by those outeide as well as inside ot the building.” * i - —Tnportast railroad news comes from Fort Wayne, to the effect that the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railway Company will put 1,000 new freight and passenger ears on the road in a short time, as business is increasing with such rapidity as to demand this. They will also place through cars from Grand Rapids to New York, Cincinnati, and other points in the East and South. The Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railway is to double track its road from Chicsgo to some ‘point east of Valparaiso, and in several _places east. About 160 miles of road will be double tracked this summer,

The Liquor Dealers—Demand for the Refunding of License Meoney. | At the meeting of the Town Council, last Friday, a paper was presented by Attorneys R. M. Johnson and W. A.Woods, of Goshen, for the refunding of certain sums of money paid some years since by the retail liquor dealers of Ligonier, in accordanze with the requirements of an ordinance of said town. _ The amounts thus claimed are as follows: . b Hardenbrook & W01f......... $325 00 Isaac Ackerman..............- 158 383 John'Kane. ob, iovi,.ooo. . 800 00 Sol. Ackerman,.............. 804 17 Leopold 5ch1055.............. 320 05 Ed F. Woodrall ...........-. 256000

oMol o .. 81,082 80 " To-the above amounts is to be added interest from the date of payment. The Board, upon due consideration, ordered the appointment of a committee, consisting of Messrs. Stoll and Wyland, to inquire into the justice of the claims, with instrucpions to report at the next regular me{ng. ' On Tuesday the following letter. was received by the President. of the Town Council: .

Slr,—We bave this day filed with the Clerk of your county, the complaints in the cases of Woodruff, Hardenhrovk & Wolf, and others, vs. the Town of Ligonier. This is‘lf{qpc tor the purpose of get ting the mawér iato court, as we could not wait until your Trustee meeting in May, as it would then be too lite. But we will say this, that 1n case your ‘ Trustees conclude to. refund the amounts demanded without suit, we will pay costs made. i Yours troly, : JonnsoN & HERR. The refunding of these licenses is de manded by reason of the fact that the Su preme Court, about two yearssince, de cided the act authorizing incorporated towns to assess licenses unconstitutional. Should the cmjrts sustain the demand, the corporation treasury is likely to be: depleted. Further comments are defers red until a future time. e W!-——OO’——- AR 5 Purchase of a Fair Ground-Publie . Meeting. ' Inasmuch as the lease for the present Fair Greund will expire in a few years, and it being desirable that the Noble County Agricultural Society comein pos session of gr_ounds of their own, it is pro~ posed to organize a joint stock company with a capital of $2,000 or more, with a view to purchasing a suitable tract of land for the above named purpose. A. public meeting = for the consideration of this project is therefure called under the auspices of the Board of Directors of the Noble County Agricultural Society, to be held in the Town Hall, Ligonier, on Sat urday, May 17, 1873. All interested are cordially invited to attend. , By order of DIRECTORS.

A casg of small-pox has made its aps pearance in town. The patient is Stephen Hutchison, an employe of ‘the Post-office Book Store. The diseaée was - doubtless contracted during his recent briefstay in Chicago. It was until Tuesday believed to be a case of measles, but the doctors now, pronounce ita mild type of small pox. The utmost precauticn is used by our town authorities to ‘prevent the spread of the disease. We make this plain and trutbful statement in order to avoid any and all misunderstanding, and, to guard against false reports.

The Lake Shore R. R.=--Retiremeéent of Mr. Devereanx, The telegraph brings news of the elec tion of Mr. J. H. Devereaux,general manager.of the Lake Shore & Michigan Soutbern, to the presidency of the.Cléveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis railroad company, vice H. B. Hurlbut, who hae resigned, and been - made Vice President. This movement is said to be in the interest of the Erie and Atlantic & Great Western railroads, which failed to get possession of the C.,, C, C. & L. road last week by the usual meaus, and will result in gecuring to them just what they wounld have obtained in getting control of the road, viz.: the entree into the Union Depot at Cleveland, and a western outlet at that point. At the same time the re - lations of the C., C., C. & I. road’” with the Lake Shore ahd New York Central re. main the same as before. Mr. Devereaux has resigned his position on the Lake Shore rcad, and will be made Vice-Presi-dent of the Erie road, and General Mana ger of the Atlantic & Great Western, —lndianapolis Journal.

LicoNiEß.—Through a press of busi ness last week we forgot to mention a visit to the enterprising and rapidly advancing town of Ligonier in the county adjoining us on the west. Should it get the Canada Southern,and great hopes are entertained thdt such will be the case, . there will not bea place in the northern part of the State that will surpass it as a bueiness point with the sanie number of railroads. We were gratified to find the BANNERoffice a handsome edifice built in &' handsome and substantial manner, from which Is'now issued week1y the above paper—price two dollars in advance. Though our friend Stoll did not succeed last fall politically he is meeting with that result at bis home, and no doubt his numerous friends at Ligonier are to some extent consoled by this fact. The traternity were invited to a supper at the Commercial Hotel, under the management of Ben. Barnhart, a gentleman who understands his business and knows how to treat his guests —Auburr Cous+ rier.

. STRANGE, 1F TRUE.— Letters have been received-here from Paul Henkel (formerly operator at this station) in which he states that while sending a message from some western telegraph station, during a heavy thunder shower, the lightning struck the telegraph wire and.ran into the office, where it played havoc generally, and knocked Henkel senseless When he recovered consciousness he discovered that be had lost the use of the organs of speech and hearing, in short, was as deaf as an adder and as dumb as & posi, in which condition he still remains. -~ Many ot his acquaintances here beli¢ve that Henkel has been readiug Muncheausen. ‘We find the above in last week’s Bryan Democrat, and can assure our contempo: rary that Mr; Henkle's statement is entirely correct. He was in this place about two weeks ago, during which time we tried to converse with him, but found it “no go.” The case is certainly a very re~ markable one.

_ Ounr late visit to Ligonier enabled us to learn that it was a flourishing place, surrounded by a very fine country, and that its people are generous and public spirit. ed.’ Bro. BBtoll, of the BANNER, isin a handsome new office and the BANNER is one of the staid institutions of the town. We are indebted to bim for his kind at tention for our comfort and pleasnre. We made the acquaintance of several of ‘the public apirited citizens of Ligonier, and .were favorably impressed with the people aod town, The proprietor of the Com mercisl Houase mgenermmly invited the Editorial fraternity 1n session, to tea, and those who remasined over evening accept: ed. — Kentland Gazette, : -

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. Hendallville. In'concluding the post office matter, so far as I am concerned,it will not be out of place, I judge, to sum up and see if C. O. Myers is & safe man to -hold that office. We, the people, are very much interested in the satety of out funds and the hones: ty of our servants. It is well known that large amounts of money pass through the post office in letters, drafts and post office orders ; also the receipts of the office are large. These are all subject to a dishonest postmaster’s peculations. Now, gentlemen of the Republican party, can it be possible that a man who has spent the greater portion/of his life in blackmailiog the members of his party—who exacts six hundred dollars from them be: fore he could support the nominees of that party to wiich he claims to belong, and then invents a falsebood to cover up the outrake—-who, according to a distin-’ guished member of his party, retained every dollar that was handed to him for political purposes during the last campaigp, and complained bitterly because be did not get more—who says he has evi dence in his possession which would blast the character of some of our cit.izehe, and uses it for his gain—whose only merit in journalism is personalitv and blackguardism—whose present position was opposed by’ ninety-nine out of every hundred of the members of his party in this vicinity —who denounced the present administra. tion until he was promised this office—who was publicly horsewhipped iv the streets of Liagrange, by one of its best citizens, and the act endorsed by over two hundred people of that town, who also expressed themselves over ‘their own sig natures, that his exit from among them would be bpeneficial to the place—who has the esteem of none and isicondemned by all—now, gentlemen, is such.a charac: ter as this fit to hold the responsible posis tion of postmaster in the city of Kendall ville? Isis not paying a compliment to fraud and treachery, rather than reward‘ing virtue and honor? Is’ a man guilty “of the above safe? Are our funds safe? Ts the security sate ? These are practical questions in which all are very much in terested. ‘ ! ~ Nearly three hundred “persons took breakfast at tbis ‘place on Wednesday mornidg of last week,owing to the deten. tion of the western-bound train, which was caused by-the wrecking ot a freight train near Wawaks. ¢ The receipts of the Ft. Wayne Pension Agency are' about $7,000. Rather a fat office. . Herman Krueger has bought the Holsinger property in this town, for which he paid $2,500. ‘ James Nellis should be elected Council‘man in the- Second ward. Hes just the man the people want. ‘ ' A lady from the detained morning train lost her little poodle dog. She offered 'slo reward for its recovery, but had to leave without it, Harry Stone is completing & nice resi dence across the railroad. L

- My young friend, Cm‘il}efl Cox, during the vacation in our ' school, spends his time canvassing for books, which is not only profitable but recreative to him. He now has Will Carlton’s Farm Ballads, finely illustrated, issued by the Harpers. Mr. E. Bundy has contracted to grade one mile of the Baltimore and Chicago R. R, near Avilla. Real eatate transactions are quite nus merous inlthispla'ce. A good many have occurred within the last week or two at very fair prices; " Tim Hudson passed through herc on last Monday. He did ot want anything said about it, and for that reason it looks a little suspicious to us. Setting out maple trees seems to be in order with our people this season. Now, if-the Common Council will enforce tkLe building and repairing ot ‘the sidewalks, we shall have nfithi’ng to complain of. John B. Stoll, of the BANNER, gave our cjtv a call on last Saturday.. Come agaili. There are a good many more who would take the BANNER in this place if they were solicited to de so. ~ - John Smith has sold out. -« I wonderif the Judge Tousley $lOO item inlieNoi 8. : Dr. Creditor and- Miss Cox were mar~ ried in this place one day last week. I presume she does not regret the changing of her name. I met an M. D. coming in from the country this morning, who said as we passed, “another life saved.” - JOE.

. Hon. Washington C. DePauw. Rev. W. McDonald, who recently visited the city of New . Albany, writes as follows of that good and noble man, Washington C. DePauw, whose name is not wholly urfamiliar to thz readers of the BANNER: : Brother CePauw is a princely man. He is one of the few who do business religiously, duing all for the glory of God. A man of large fortune, accumulated by his owi personal industry.. An orpban at sixteen, without ggeans, and obliged to let bimself for the smail pittance of two.dollars per week; from this small beginning be has amassed and is the possessor of millions, and is still in the prime of life, being only fifty-one. . But 'with all his wealth, he is, so far as we were able to observe, as unpretending and humble as he who depends on his daily toil for his daily bread. ; : Brother DePauw does more 'business than any other man we have ever met; and yet he seems to have nd care. He said in a meeting in Cincinnati: “lam a happy man—happy iz my bus iness, happy in my family, happy in the honorable service of my Savior, bappy all the time. Though I must sometimes walk by faith, I cannot conceive of & happier man this side of heaven.” | Yet this happy man runs three banks, one insurance company, one plate glass manufactory—the largest in the country, in which hé has $500,000 invested—one cotton and one woolen factory; these are the main interests which he personally supervises, - ~ He is connected with some: twelve or fifteen boards of directors, besides those above named, embracing banks, railroads, etc., all of which require more or less attention, But with all these, be finds ample time to run a Sunday school, hold a boliness meeting once a week, and attend ifo all the ordinary and extraordinary meetings of his own ehurch, and help others. ' He has not always been as he now is. Though & member of the church for many years, it is not until the las! two years that his voice was ever ‘heard in a public re!’lgiflul meeting in prayer or tstimony. Basivess absorbed most of his time, and he had little leisure to attend to other matters, - . o st | ——— et AP o Go to Grob & High for your Early Rose potatoes, . - ; » R

[Louisville Courier-Journal Editorial, April7.] Postponement of the Pablic Library & Gift Conecert. - . It will be seen by the annoancement in our advertising columns, that the third gift concert of the Public Library of Kentucky, which was to bave taken place to-day, bas been postponed until July 8. This postponement has not been occasioned, as we are advised by Gov. Bramlette, by the small sale of tickets; on'the con-— trary, the sales haye been unusually large —much larger than at either of the pre ceding concerts—so large, indeed, that the time given by this ninety-day postponément will enable Gov. Bramlette to dispose of every ticket and jusure a full drawing withoutany redustion or scaling of the gifte, as bns beretofore been the case. . Gov. B. sees his way so clearly that he announces 1n the most positive and unequivocal language that the drawing will take place July 8, and that it will be a full one.. The lowner of the ticket drawing the capital gift will get $lOO,OOO in greenbacks without any discount, and so of all the other gifts. The money suf ficient to pay all the gifts—ssoo,ooo in greenbacks—is already on deposit in the Farmers’ and Drovers’ Bank, set apart for the payment of the gifts, and can be used for no other purpose, as can be seen by the cashier’s certificate. With a know: ledge of these facts, and we do not hesitate to guarantee their scrupulous fulfillment —there will be such a demand for the tickets now on hand that in all probability not a single one will be left for sale weeks before the time of drawing. There néver was a fairer or more hongrablyconducted enterprise before the public, and it has, as it deserves, the entire con fidence ot the people. It is one of those schemesin which the purchasers of tickets feel the mostL positive assurance that the drawibg will be fair, for 1t will be controlled by thie most prominent and distinguished men of the city and State, and those who draw gifts will be eertain to get the money the moment’their,tickcts are presented. : =

Plain Farmers’ Talk. - The farmers recently held s meeting at Ottawa, Kansas. They attended, among other things, to that “*hot-bed of corruption,” the Kansas Legislature, and resolyed that they were “sick and tired of poli tical demagogues, professional politicians, and the whole set of ‘trickste‘rg, shystérs and corruptionists who have heretofore represented them in the State and Nation. al Legislatures.” The sick tired farmers pledgec themselves to support no more uld party candidates. These Kansas yeo men, as the Tribune says, are by no means singular in their resolution. There is a feeling like theirs observable in all parts ot.the country; and the hour in which it will find indignant expression cannot lbe very distant. | - . Jilder Remedies, : The tendency of the times seems to be toward the disuse of strong medicines so far as possible, and an abandenwment ot heroic treatment in favor ot milder, and, perhaps, more rational curative processes. The latest of these is the so called Swedish Movement Institute, of New York, where they claim to cure nearly all kinds of nervous and prganic diseases by means of topical treatment. The theory is, that many chroaic cases of rheumatism, dys pepsia, paralysis, spinal- disease, etc., can be successfully treated by restoring full action to all the muscles of respiration, by greatly increasing the outflow of blood toithe skin and extremities, and by stim ulating particular orgars or muscles to more active effort. The treatment consists oi « rubbing, patting, punching, pounding, rolling, ghaking, and in all sorts of ways exercising the patient with 4 specific view to strengthening the, dis. eased organ or member. The treatment, which is partly by hand and partly mechanical, is said to be wonderfully successful in many cases.— Indianapolis Joir nal, - - . e

Pimples, Eruptions, Rough Skin. The system being put under the infla ence of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medicul Discovery for a few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear, soft, and velvety, ind being fllominated with the glow of perfect health from within, true beauty stands forth in all its glory. Nothing ever pre sented to the public as a beautifier of the complexion ever gave suchsatisfaction for this purpose as this Discovery. The ef fects of all medicines which operate upon the system through the medium of the blood are necessarily somewhat slow, no matter how good the remedy employed. While one to three bottles clear the skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions, yellow spots, comedones, or ‘“gruabs,” a dozen wmay possibly ‘be required to cure some cases where the system is rotten with scrofulous or vwirulent blood poisons. The cure of all these diseases, however, from the common pimple to the worst scrofu'a is,with the use of this most potent agent, only a matter of time. Sold by all drug~ gists. )
