Parchase of a Fair Grouad—¥ublie Meeting. Sueis l Inasmuch as the lease for the present Fair Ground will expire in a few years, ~and it being desirable that the Noble County Agricaltural Society ¢>me in pos session ot grounds of their own, it is proposed 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 coasideration of this project is therefore called under the auspices of the Board of Directors of the Noble County Agricultural Scciety, to be “held in the Town Hall, Ligonier, on Saturday, May 17, 1873, All interestec are cordially invited to attend. By order of DIRECTORS, | : ——— e . Dedieation of odd Fellows Hall, - The new hall of Excelsior Lodge, No. 1267,1. 0. O. F, of this place, was duly ‘ dedicated to the uses and purposes of odd Fellowship, on Tuesday, the 13th inst., Col. William C.Williams, of Albion, officiating as Grand Mester. The invitations to witness the ceremo ' nies were confined to. the members of the ‘order and their ladies. The hall was comfortably filled, the ladies, as usual, turning out in goodly numbers, to encourage by their presence the effurts of those whose vocation it is to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead, edus cate the orphan—duties which neither interfere with nor supersede the discharge of any other, social, moral, or religious, Phe ceremonies were of ‘an impressive character,and conducted in a highly creditable manner. There was no display upon the streets—nothing that in the least savored of ostentation or display, but everything that was done and said was chaste, sincere acd eainest. o The subordinate parts wereall well rendered, and need not be particularly men - tioned; hut we must say, in justice to Col. Williams, that he fairly out-did himself as an impressive reader, and as the leading spirit of the occasion. _ After the conclusion of the dedication | cercmonies, Bro. Willinms delivered a short address, which, for beauty and ele: gance of diction, pure sentiments of mo~ rality, earnestness and appropriatenesg, has pnever been e¢xcelled in our widst.

Meeting of ‘l'be Brethren.” On the first and second of this month the Northern Indiana District Meeting of the Brethren (mﬁre popularly known as the Tunkers). was held near Goshen. Ligonier and vicinity was represented by Peter Yoder and Geo. Mock. Its prowceedings are tbus editm'iayly noticed by the-Goshen Z%mes: *‘This denomination ot Christiang settled 1o the St. Joseph Valley forty one - years ago, with only eight members. Now they have thirty churches in Northern Indiana, and five in Michigan, with a membership of over four thousand, most of them located north of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago Ruilroad. Their receht conference was largely attended, and transacted some important business,which, we are glad to know, leads in the right direction. Among other things, they took stringent action in reference to a saloon in Goshen, and decided that no member of ‘the church sheuld rent a building to be used as a whisky saloon. 'They enthusiastically endorsed the new liquor law, and will do their share to-aid in the enforce - ment of the same.” ,

SINCE the BANNER was printed last week, one additional cese of small-pox and one ' case of varioloid have been res ported, the latter being that of W.K: Sheffer, and the former Julia Sessler, a young daughter of Samuel Sessler. Both were among those exposed at Mr.-Hutch-inson’s—Mr. Sheffer baving been an attendant at the latter’s bed side the very nighﬂb’efore the doctors pronounced him a emall pox patient. The little girl, we understand, visited: Hutchinson's house about the same time. Mr. Sheffer’s case is a very mild one, he being able to sit up and read, and thorough dieting has placed him in excellent condition to resist the severity of the disease. Of the young girl we cannot speak advisedly. As already indicated in these columns, the Town Council, two weeks since, ap~ pointed a Board of Health, and conferred power on that body to take such measures as might scem best to prevent the spread of the disease. The Board bas adopted rules and Iregulations, and the Town Council has issued a proclamation enjoining the people to observe a strict and rigid compliance therewith. We repeat that there is no cause foralarm, and the p'gople can come to town and go from it without the least danger. The Board of Health is composed of three good physicians—Carr, Palmiter aud Knepper —and we are assured by them that every precaution is being taken to prezent itg further spread. The Council’s proclamas tion bas been printed in handbill form, and it would be well that the people read it and acquaint themselves with the rules and regulations of the Board of Health, and act accordingly. We have simply stated the facts as they exist, and our friends in the country can depend upon -them as being entirely truthful and cor rect. ; i

MismawAkA's Loss.—From the South .Bend Tribune, qf the 10th inst., we gaths er additional particulars concerning the removal of Milburn's wagon shops to Toledo: “The Milburn Wagon Company, of Mishawaka, conc_luded arrangements on Saturday last, for the removal of their works to Toledo, Ohio. It has been nearly three years since Mr. Milburn re ceived offers from Teledo cepitalists to moyve there, and it was only when his ‘business had increased to such an extent that an enlargement was positively neces~sary that Mr. Milburn consented to re-. ~move to Toledo, and only then on ' condition that the Toledo capitalists would 'put.‘ into the company an amount of capital equal to its present—s3oo,ooo, making $600,000 in all as the capital stock of the company. | This was done on last Baturday night. The new company pro pose to buy about fifty acres of ground, ten of it in one hody, upon which to erect their shops, It is proposed to put up 1,600 fcet of tliree story brick buildings, employing 500 men, and turn out 12,000 wagons anoually. It will probably be nears ly a year before the works are removed from here. We regret very much to lose them, but the fine shops and water pow-. er bere will not long remain idle.” SopA WATER, oranges, lemons, cigars, tobacco, &ec., good snd cheap et H. G.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. j « - Kendallville. Cin . The Spiritualists of this place hold weekiy meetings, for the purpose of communing with the departed ones, as they understand it. They meet at privaie bouses and occasionally invite some friends to be present with t em. The room is somewhat darkened, admitting the light from a lamp ‘in an edjoining room, the doors being left open for that purpose. The citcle is formed by the bes lievers taking seats around the table, the balance remaining on the outside, and forming what they call an outer circle. A song is then sung, copsisting of “Swect By and By,” or some other piece familiar to those present, and generally before the singing is over the table commences to move, and “raps” may be heard, provid-' ing the medium is present. The medium, who “gets up” the raps, is an elderly lady of our city, and without her they do not come distinctly. Questions are generally - asked which can be answered by yes or | no. Three raps signifies *‘yes,” one ‘no,” and two “don’t know.” Thé questions asked generally pertain to the condition of “spirits upon that otber shore,” and they generally express themselves as being “happy.” ; Theological and scientific questions are often asked by those present, and the answers donot always accord ‘with the popuiar idea of to day. One thing seems to be established— that the spirits learn very fast after entering the “spirit land,” as they are genérally pre pared to answer all questions. It is cer, tainly quite interesting to sce some mother bending over the table to catch dis: tinctly the “raps” in response to her questions, which are claimed to be made by some dear child in the “spirit land.” 1 noticed among those present several of our'doctors and lawyers, and also one of our preachers, who seemed to Ye an:xiqus to find out “who makes the raps.” : ~ Herman Krueger shipped, on last Fri day, over $2,500 worth of liguors.

To the Editor of the Banner: : The late soldiers organization of this city,which was organized for the purpose of securing the balance of power o & certain ring, caused considgrable disappaintment among its most ardent supporters at the late municipal election. The. gr\éut disease it was proposed to cure appears to have attacked the entire organization, judging from the number of aspirants for office. But, like all other maladies with which humanity is at times afflicted, it has run its course ; and, through the ig norance of its proper treatment, the major part of its victims are dead. or ‘wish they were. An organization similar to the one attempted, I believe, would be generally suetained by the ex-soldiers of this county it conducted upon right principles, and by the right kind of ‘men.

A Love Stricken Youth, James Hiil, 4 youth of eighteen, in the employ of "Squire William' Gaskins, near Farmersburg, Sullivau county, placed his young affections on & young woman who was a member of his employer’s honsehold, and his love being reciprocated, of course the young people wanted to be married right away. The 'Squire otject ed on account of their youth, and wished them to at least wait till the expiration of the term of service for which Hill was engaged to'him. TLe young man, fear ing that his Angelina would be spirited away from him, avowed bis iotention to end bis hopes and bis troubles in suicid.. and started to the barn. The squire fol lowed, and found him adjnsting a noose to & beam overhead.

. They are Coming, - Immigration promises to be unusally large the coming season. Within the last two weeks ten steamers, bringing 12,000 ‘persons, have arrived. Acceptiog this as an average of the year, 288,000 foreigners will land on ‘our shores in 1873. These will probably bring with them, in gold, not- less than $25,000,000. They will ulso add.to the productive force of the country almost an‘ equal number of laborers, for all foreigners who come to us come to work. A large percentage of these im migrants are Germans and Scandinavians, most of whom will seek homes in the West. Thus not only the young and vigorous men and women of the East, but the best blood of the Old World—estimated by the true criterion of value, productive power—find in the Valley of the Mississippi the widest dfeld of effort, growth, and development.—lnter Ocean.
