All that is necessary, to accomplish this result, is for our citizens to go to work in the right way. —We don’t know how it will strike the general reader, but according to our way of thinking the annexed obseryation of a contemporary is strictly in conformity with eternal ‘truth: “Many men fail of success in life, simply because they mistake their callig. We bave seen preachers who would bave made rup?nb ctable blacksmiths and bave done well at the anvil, but they were miserable botchiers as embassadors of Christ. The same thing has been noticed in other professions requiring brain power. It is an honor to be o skillfal mechanie, but both diagn ful and ridiculous to be sn awkwa mawkish jackase of npﬂﬂkﬁ lifeless dunce of a one horse preacher, who could not awake a sinner had he the voice: of o sixteen hand-high mule,”

—From the Steuben county Republican we learn that on Sunday morning, May 13, the store of V. E. Simmons, at Summit, was wholly destroyed by fire. It is supposed that the store had been entered by thieves and plundered of goods and money, and then the building was fired to hide the evidence of the robbery. Mr. Simmong’ loss is about $2,000, which is a total one, there being no insurance. The post office which was located in the Store was"also robbed of about twenty dpllars in money, and everything connected’ with the post office. !

To the Publie. Learning that false and exaggerated reports are being circulated in reference to the small pox in Ligonier, we desire to correct them, and give the public an ex~ act and correct statement in relation thereto. ' There have been, in all, three cases of the disease, two of which have recovered, and the third is doing well and improv ing. ; It was communicated totwo persons by Mr. Hutchinson, before the nature of ‘his sickness was known. Since then every precaution has been taken to prevent the spread of the disease, and the time has expired when the disease would appear among those who were exposed, and no new cases appearing, we apprehend’ no further danger, and bave no hesitancy in assuring the public that there is no cause for alarm. Ne fears exist among the in‘habitants of the town and vicinity of a spread of the disease. : : ' G. W. CARR, P. W. CruM, ELiAs JoNEs, D. W. C. DENNy, C. PALMITER, H. Lanpon, E. W.

. TaE BMALL Pox.—We are enabled to convey to our readers the pleasing’intelligence that the small-pox has about dis appeared from our midst. Mr. Hutchinson, the first patient, is fully restored to health, and only awaits the permission of the authorities to leave his domicil. Mr. Sheffer, who had a slight touch of varioloid, was at no time coufined to his bed, but in deference to the wishes and orders of the authorities, secluded himself in a room at his boarding place, and acxiously awaits permission 0 go at large. Mr. Bessler’s daughter is getting along finely, and has passed all danger. These were the only cases in town. ik Capt. Braden says he would like to establish an anti small pox insurance company, and offers to take all farther risks in town at $lO per head, sgreeing to pay every person 8o insured, and who may be seriously attacked with small pox, the sum of ope hundred dollara!

‘ LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE, } : Kendallville, It bas become & pretty well established fact that a ring has been formed to wrong this place out of a large amount of property, and, from present appearances,vthere seems to be nothing in their way (so far as the officers of this coporation are con“cerned), to accomplish their designs. Their first act was the procuring ot the contract between the city and Messrs, ‘Ninde & Fay, which all, I presume, are acquainted with, but I doubt if all realize Its magnitude. There was a certan ‘amount of pressure brought to bear upon “the Council in order to get this contract. The committee appuinted failed to report until the evening before the sitting of the court whick was to determine the causes between the railroad company and the city. The argument was used that the cases would be called,and no attorney present to represent the city, and as Mr. Ninde was the only man that could at | tend to the business, in the estimation of some, the contract was formed ; and it will cost us more to get out of theclutches of this ring, if they succced, than to have settled with the Grand Rapids Railroad Company. It is to tbe interest of this road to possess the good will ot Kendallville, and vice versa, and if proper efforts had been made to remove the incubus which is hanging over us, by those who are in this ring to rob us, we should have had this matter adjusted long ago. ’ The last meeting of the City Council was a stormy’ one. John Mitchell presented resolutions, to which Dr. Teal ob- | jected very emphatically, and in the course of his remarks denounced John. Weston in no very mild terms. John Weston, being present, retorted in very similar ldnguage. A resolution was finally passed considerably modified from the | original. ) |

James Bunyan, in his testimony, the other day, said that he was told. if he commenced suit upon the bonds which he holds in the Grand Rapids Railroad Company it would not cost him anything for attorney’s fegs. Now, the question is, who pays? The city, of course. ‘ The Macy family, of this place, is res moving to Detroit,where their son James is in business. g . Andy Ellison was here the other day, looking after the interests ot the Grand Rapids road. Scholars are now being examined in our school, for promotion. o I heard a lady say the other day that C.O. Myers was the meanest man she ever knew. Korrect. ’ ! Judge Clapp end Owen Black made our town a visit last week. I don’t know whether their visit had anything to do with the box that one of our citizens received from their town or not. 'Maybe it was in relation to the charges which the seader failed to pay. We have a new agent at the Grand Rapids depot. ¢ It was said during the ‘post office ex ~ citement, by those who now compose this pilroad ring,: that they bave “taken Myers on his good behavior,” which means that he shall not expuse or denounce any scheme which .may be gotten up to defraud the city.; by 'any of thuse who supported him. Hence; if he says anything, it will be to encourage litigation under the present contract. : The Northeastern Indiana ‘Medical So~ ciety will meet in this place, on Tuesday, Jupe 3, 1873. In the evening, Prof. F. A. McGran will deliver a public address. I hope he may, in contradistinction to those. who have appeared here before under the auspices of this society, be able to rise abuve denunciation, and say something which will be of benefit to the audience.

C. O. Myers proposes to speak well of no one who opposed his appointment as Postmaster. The throwing out of a little complimentary notice of one of our oldest and best citizens the other morning indi~ cates the line of policy he proposes to adopt. The Chriatian Church building, in this place, has been turned half around, so that it now stands facing the depot, and will be repaired considerably in its press ent location. : ; The sequel to the singing school trouble, in the east part of this township, came off not long since in a fight just over the line in DeKalb county. Three Noble county boys fought thirteen from DeKalb, and put them to flight. The fight came off according to agreement,but the wictims, feeling very sore, sent warrants after the Noble county boys. The Sheriff sent the papers to Capt. John R. Smith, who, in compapy with the Mar. shal of this city, proceeded to make the arrests. They captured two of them, but the third got away. Daring 'the chase the Deputy Sheriff fired two shots at him but failed in stopping him. The other two were taken to Auburn, and tried before Judge Tousley, who was holding court there at the time. The Judge said they should all have stuck to the con~ tract, but had to inflict a fine of $3 and costs, which some thought was rather light ; but then you know the J udge is from Noble county,and evidently foltsome pride in the victory which our boys had won.

Beware of the Ghost discovered by J. Farmer on the Ackley farm. i Indian Jack made his sppearance in town this week, and for the present he is ‘ stopping at David Hughes’ Tobacco stand, ~where he solicits the patronage of all his old friends. - Young men, if you have not decency and respect enough about you to bebave yourself when you go out in society, you had better stay at home. Your room is more appreciated tkan your company.— When you are compelled to make a trip or two to Columbia,and probably lay there in jail two or three weeks, then you will come to the ¢nnclusion to behave yourselt, and act like respectable young men. Some of you think that because you bave been threatened so many times, and the threats not carried into - execution, that there is no danger; but let me tell you, you will fool with the wrong person %, and by. Parents, would it not be wise for you to look after your children, end not permit them to have-so much time to be about the Rail Road Depot? Some of these times you will go to look tor your children, and probably find one of two of them a mangled corpse. A little care in time might save you a great deal of trouble and distress, HowMmo.

Wawaka. An apology is due, for long silence, to the BANNER and its readers. I have the vanity to suppose that some of them, at least, like to hear from our now green and beautiful little town. I think a neat apology belongs to the fine arte, and I have a decided contempt for excuses. Dr. Franklin was right when he said that the man that is good at making excuses is good at nothing else. If I werea preach! er I fancy I should be particularly severe on the man in the Bible who offered asan excuse for not obeying the gospel, that he had married & wife and could not come, I would be like old Father Dainly, who in early days went to Linccln county to preach, and introduced his. first sermon, eaying (with an emphatic blow on the pulpit), “Oh! ye Lincclnites, I come here to civilize you—to Christianize you—to pulverize you.” 'And soI would pulverize the fellow that married and then in a lordly way offered his wife as an excuse for burying the talent given Eim to improve upon. -

" Since the advent _of May old things have passed away, and all things have be: come new ; our trees, are resplendant with apple, cherry and’ plum blussoms; new life is infused in our natures, and we bave new hearts to trustin the god of pature. . We have no sickness, no deaths, no cages of small pox to chronicle. How thankful then ought we to be. : ' Mrs. Champier has opened a millinery shop, and Mr. J. Yager is building a new barn and addition to his house. A new barber shop has been opened fover Thompson’s store (a Yankee shave, we presume.) Our citizens are hopetal 1n the prospect of a new telegraph office ere long, thinking this is the modus operandi in business. ' : Three things are needed to improve our town—a good coat of paint on the houses, some new sidewalks, and when the scales fall from our eyes we will sing for joy and have a new organ in our church and Sabbath school. A word to the wise is sufficient. S . ’Squires Boberts and Van Aiken gtill in sist on tying those wicked knots called hymenial, , Rev. G. Howe will preach next Sabbath at the M. E.

W. FARWELL, Sec’y, 78 Market street, - Chicago: . A fire occurred last night in the main building of the State Industrial School for Boys, located in this place. The fire originated from ohne of the registers, and when discovered bad assumed thrzatening proportions. Some forty feet of the floor, and all the timber joists beneath, was in a full blaze, but the prompt use of the Babcock Extinguisher saved the building, and probably many lives. This institution had" only three of the machines, but these controlled the fire easily and the Superintendent is loud in his praise of ‘their work, and his testimony is that they are the best protection to be obtained against fire. ; Yours very truly, _ R.

In his book on Chronic Diseases, Dr Pierce aays of his Golden Medical Discov ery: ; “God, I believe, has instilled into the roots and plants from which this woonder tul medicine is extracted, the ‘healing Properties, by the use of which Consumption, the scourge of the buman family, may in its early stages be arrested and permanently cured. Ido not wish to de lude, flatter, and then disappoint the ufflicted by asserting that this can be accomplished when the lungs are half consumed, a 8 many do who, being devoid of all conscience, aim to humbug the afflicted, that they may sell their often worse than worthless'compounds. But if my Qoldén Medical discovery is employed in the first or early stages of the disease, I know from ample observation and actual test in hundreds of cases, that it will arrest the dis - ease and restore bealth and strength.” 653
