—A quarrel over a horse-trade resulted in quite a row among some of om Jewish citizens last Tuesday.— Clubs, stones and a knife were the weapons called into requisition. A moderate quantity of blood was spilt to give color to the encounter.; The participants stepped up to the ’Squire’s ‘office and paid their fines like little Jqen. : ‘ —A fast typo was hauled up before .Justice Green on charge of havingimbibed more freely than permitted by the Baxter law. The usual fine was :agsesaed, and upon the refusal of the :accused to state of whom he obtained ‘his liquor, Ire was furnished with transporwahian to Albion to enjoy the hospitality of Sheriff ough for the period of ten days. ‘ —TFor the benefit of our rural friends we desire to state that our small-pox patients have each and all entirely recovered. Theonly semblanee of smallpox now in town is the disease of B. W.Cowley’s rooster. This monarch of the dling.-hill is said to be very prettily speckled, and as no one seems to un«derstand the nature of his disease, it is generally concluded that he was “exposed.” .

—The intensity of feeling against the appointment of C. 0. Myers as ‘ Postmaster, in republican circles at Kendallville, was pretty plainly manifested in our hearing last Saturday. The wife of a prominent Republican, in speaking of the small-pox at Ligonier, stated that Kendallville had something far worse than that—“we have C. 0. Myers, and he is ten times worse than small-pox.” . ~~Our venerable friend, Joseph Fry, upon mature deliberation eoncluding that he could bheof greater benefit to the world “and the rga&of man-kind” by shoving the jack plané than by standing behind a counter selling drugs, has disposed of his interest in the “Corner Apothecary,” and will at once apply his mechanical skill to that useful occupation. Whatever may be said of Joe concerning certain pet theories, he must be acknowledged a man of large intelligence and of unsurpassable mechanical genius and scientific

. Letter from California. * Moprsto, CALirorNIA, May 19th, 1873, FRIEND STOLL :—I promised to write occasionally for the BANNER, and I hope yet to redeem that promise. The reason I have not done so is that for four weeks I have been engaged in a series of meetings at-this place. It is the county seat of Stanislaus county. There were 13 members of the Chriseian Church at this place, but they had no organization. I closed the meeting last evening with an organization of 114 members. Only about a half dozen were young persons, the rest were heads of families, among whoin were one judge, two saloon keepers and noted gamblers. I have raised enoughon subseription to build a $5,000 brick church; size 40»60. I shall remain here a few months to get the cause firmly established. While among strangers the BANNER comes to me like a refreshing shower. Respectfully, J. M. MONROE.

CroP REPORTS.—Ex-Sheriff Moses Kiser says he will have an extra good crop of wheat, at least 20 bushels to the acre. - Extra Billy Smith, near Cromwell, reports his prospects very promising. Rufus Turner, York township, says he will have a splendid crop of wheat, nothing. intervening. Wm. D. Hays reports “good.” The wheat fields of Ed. Miliner, Jesse Hier, and others west of Ligonier, present atruly magnificent appearance. In heavily timbered localities and Oak openings the wheat is very promising, but on Perries Prairie one-fourth is probably winter-killed. ‘

MAasonNlc. — The fifty-sixth annual communication of the Grand Lodge of Masons commenced at Indianapolis last Tuesday. The report of the Grand Master shows that-during the year just passed dispensations have been issued tor 24 new lodges. "The Secretary’s report shows initiations of 2,231 ; reinstated, 128; affiliations, 808; died, 289 ; demitted, 1,046; suspended, 459; expelled, 108. The total number of members is 26,216, an increasé of 1,892.— The attendance of the lodge was from 435 of the 472 lodges in the State.

—ln addition to other natural advantages, the town of Elkhartnow claims to have in its vicinity a “stream of the softest kind of mineral magnetic water lowing at the rate of two or three barrels per minute.” Mrs.. Winins, a lady fifty years of age, has been cured of salt rheum by drinking, washing and bathing in this water; a Mr. Coverdale, suffering from paralysis of the arm, has regained the use of the limb, and another gentleman has been cured of chronic rheumatism by the use of this water. The owner of the premises on which this wonderful spring is located wants to sell out at a “reasonable rate.” —Persons wishing postage stamps, should always approach the stamp window, ask for the stamp, and when tendered by the post master, should then present their letters and ask the post master to “stick them on”—waiting, of course, to see him make the evolutions with his tongue, adjust stamp, and deposit letter in the box. Then they should begin to hunt for their “ change,” when,’in course of time, the. transaction will be completed. By a strict observance of these suggestions, the work of the post master may be greatly facilitated—in a “horn.” =

—Ten of the “ Stations ” or Branches of the New York post office are money order offices, at which money orders are issued, and on which money orders can be drawn. They are known as Stations A, B,C,D, E, F, G, H, K, and L. As some of the Stations are several miles distant from the General Post. Office, the convenience afforded payees by having orders drawn on Stations in close proximity, is obvious. v —The Chicago Journal says the great dials for the clock of the Michigan Southern and Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad depot in that city have arrived. These monsters, eight feet in diameter, were imported from France, and are of beautiful workmanship. ' : ; —The attention of Township Trustees ig :particularly directed fo the suggestions of Superintendent of Instruction Hopkins relative to the election of County Superintendents. .. His recommendations should be earefully considered. : —The change of time in the mail, which went into effect Sunday last, is thirteen minutes later each way, viz: Going East, 2:7, and going West, 3:15. All mail matter should be deposited. in the post office at least 20 minutes before train time. —Dr. Knepper expresses himself highly gratified with his visit to the State Capital. He says Indianapolis is certainly a flourishing city, and thinks a man with a well-filled purse could have no troublein finding chances for profitable investments. :

—“Chub” says he started out last Monday with the full determination to indulge in neither gin, whisky nor brandy, and that he has to this writing succeeded in quieting his thirst by enveloping himself in 25 glasses of soda water each day. : —Papers in neighboring towns that were 80 ready to report the “spread of small-pox at Ligonier,” will serve the cause of truth and justice by stating the fact in their columns that the small-pox has wholly disappeared from our midst. . . Buy your Millinery Goods of Mrs. Radadaugh, opposite Vail and Zimmerman’s stores. She has everything yeu want, and sells cheap as the cheapest. Branch store with Ells & Co., Millersburg, Ind. : | t£s —A new envelope, made of leather, has been invented for the use of postmasters in packing the mails. The Postmaster General is about to test it, and if found serviceable it will be adopted. —Ground billiards alias croquet, has broken out in a mild form in this neighborhood. With the advent of clear weather, it will doubtless become epidemic, as usual. ; U -—lt is now predicted that there will ‘be a fair crop of peaches in the St. Joseph country. - ~—Wm. Groh, of Kendallville, gave us a friendly call last Tuesday. : - —Go to Decker’s for square dealing.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. KENDALLVILLE. ; The offer of Gen. Cass to exchange the city bonds of Kendallville for the Grand Rapids Railroad stock and $25,000 is considered by nearly all a very generous one—excepting C. 0. Myers and a few others who expect to make some money out of the litigation, either by profits on the stock which has ‘been assigned to them by the city coun- ‘ cil,—or determining the value of stock ‘which is already in their possession. Al are in fayor of paying the amount ‘and have the matter adjusted as soon as possible. It is well that this man Myers has no influence in this matter, for if he had, his article might affect the compromise, but none are so ignorant as not to be able to see exactly the fellow’s position. He, you know, was “taken upon his good behavior,” and he is carrying.out the contract to the letter. How very low a man must be who will betray the interest of the people, simply because he can control the| columns of a newspaper. The article ‘ in his paper is mostly baséd upon error. He says: “they offer to take $25,000, and give us $85,000 in worthless G. R. & Ind. R. R. stoek.” If this was true it would be a good offer; for we could sell the stock for at least fiftéén cents on the dollar, which would .go far towards paying the $25,000.00. I think the great object.of the article was to get in “ worthless G. R. & Ind. R. R. stock,” but, notwithstanding its worthlessness, his friends have it all assigned to them. He writes about the treachery of the directors, &c. An investigation into this matter would perhiaps show no treachery, but an absolute necessity for doing just what was done or lose the land grant, and’ consequently fail to build the road.— He says: “if the common council sees fit to accept the proposition, it will entail a heavy debt entirely useless and uncalled for.” But it would not be as heavy as the whole amount, nor will it be any more than it will cost the city if we litigate under the present Ninde and Fay contract, with the chances at least equal to pay the whole amount, with all the costs accruing.— Ordinarily ‘an article of that kind would hurt the good reputation of a paper, and also the edjtor, but yvhen neither has any it, of course, falls harmless to the ground. - John Weston gets off an idea that the city made a mistake in sending one or two of the better dressed portion of that committee to Fort Wayne to see Gen. Cass. He thipks if Cy. Isbell and O. K. Tripp had been substituted in their places we would have got an offer for an even exchange of our stock for the city bonds. g The pleadings in the railroad suits are being settled this week at Indianapolis. ] - : Itis very healthy in Kendallville and vicinity. : o “The many friends .of Hon. H. B. Sayler.—Standard. ' e © Sayler has just about as manffriends as C. 0. Myers in this vicinity, which is aboutone in one hundred and twelve, and take no more interest in his joys or sorrows than they -do about any other man. But then, you know, Myers must play the part of a lick spittle. The discussion which was held here during five evenings of last week, was moderately attended. The last evening the Hall was pretty well filled.— The division of the money which was taken in at the door, after the expenses were paid,amounted to something over twenty dollars a piece to the disputants. The verdict of those who are unprejudiced, and were regular in their attendance, is that Hull is the best debater, and advanced many ideas, and quoted many passages from the bible, which his opponent failed to answer or even refer to; but what Blainey lacked in argument was made up by the enthusiasm of his friends, who cheered him quite lustily during the discussion. But about the only thing gained by either party was the twenty ‘ dollars. : |

I was able to tell exactly C. O. Myers’ position upon compromising our indebtedness with the railroad, as those who read the papers can verify., It is now very well known who makes the “raps,” or at least a portion of them at the spiritual circles which have been held here. A fellow by the name of McMillian, in company with the Rev. Mr. Blaney, gets them up.— McMillian got up during the discussion, last week, and said he made the “raps” upon the two evenings that he was present. Now if we can find out who makes them when these two gentlemen are not present we will be all right. It seems after twenty years of deception that these two men have exposed it. I don’t know whether they will continue in the pump and preaehing business, or will travel to ‘expose it. My idea would be that they had better travel. JOE.

‘ CHURUBUSCO. Mattie Birney, daughter of Dr. Birney, of this place, is lying very sick, so bad that death is expected at any moment. By the number of wagons that came to our town this week, loaded with grain, I judge that Mr. Boag, the grain merchant, did a fair business. 1 Singing school every Saturday evening at Deck’s Hall; also at the Good Templar'’s Hall every Sabbath afternoon at. 5 o’clock. Qur barber shop has been moved twice during the week: first from Ross & Fair’s gallery room to the house of William Maxwell, thence to Deck’s Hall, where it has been’ permanently located—for the present, - i Mr. Knisely, of Columbia City, for-. merly a teacher in this town, delivered a very appropriate discourse on Satur~day afternoon, at the close of the present term of school. I think Mr. Knisely is a man who understands his business, and has a fair prospect to become ‘a good orator, We welcome all such to our town, and only wigh that we had more of them. 3 Py Samnel Bares’' team became frightened, one day during this week, and ran away. Also, Dr, Crisswell’'s horse ran

away m;h him and completely demolished a portion of his carriage. ~ The grist mill of this placeis doing a splendid business, and has all the custom work it can ‘do. ‘Work upon the church is progressing slowly, but, I hopé, surely. The house ought to have been finished and ready for worship near a year ago.— But, friends, so long as you pinch the mighty dollar.so hard you need not expect to make progress. Churches have been commenced and finished in other places where the membership is much smaller than it is here, since this building has been up and under roof. Now, this 'little town is favorably known throughout the country for its liberality, but this, friends, is certainly a reproach to our good name. Now, would it not be wise for you toshell out some of your greenbacks and have the building completed. HoxMo. -

T I am pleased to notice that you have secured a correspondent at 'Busco.— “Homo” is-a lively correspondent, whose items of news I read with great interest and pleasure. When you see a man sitting in his house with the BANNER on one side and the Ere on the other, you may bet he is posted about what is going on in the county. ¢ Our neighbor, John Slutman, started for Cloud county, Kansas, last Thursday, taking through by land a span of mules and wagon for Hiram H. Young. & ARawSs, ———— I TnoueH we cannot agree with our old friend, Dr. Thomas, of the Winamac Democrat, with regard to some of his reeent eriticisms of Gov. Hendricks, &ce., we greatly deprecate the apellation of the term “ass” to the venerable publicist of Pulaski. The Doctor, itis true, has become somewhat “riled,” but we have such implicit faith in his strong common sense, and in the purity of his motives, that we'are‘a constrained to enter this our solemn protest against the Democrat’s harsh expression, : ‘ ,

DEATH OF SCHUYLER REYNOLDS.— On Saturday last, May 17th, we received the sad and unexpected news of the death of Schuyler Reynolds, of Middleport, a gentleman widely known, a lawyer of ability and one of the practitioners at the bar of this county. The report. of his- death was to us-a surprise, as we supposed him to be in the enjoyment of excellent health and blessed with a vigorous constitution. Ashewas a gentleman of unexceptionable habits and in the prime of life, few would be supposed to possess a firmer hold or a longer lease of life.— ‘We are informed that he had been confined to hisg bed but a few days, but had been failing for some months, the disease being abscess in the stomach. The deceased possessed a combination of amiable qualities, which attached to him a large circle of friends. He leaves also a wife and four children to lament their irreparable loss.—[l.ockport (N.

Such a conjunction of circumstances will probably never occur again. In this immense Hall thus opportunely secured, P. 8. Gilmore, whose Boston Jubilee has given him a worldwide fame, will appear and lead his Mammoth Orchestra of three hundred performers, and a great chorus of over five hundred voices, who together, with other popular selections, will render the celebrated “ Anvil Chorus,” given at the Boston Jubilee. There will also be a chorus of one thousand children, whio will take part in the afternoon concert.
