' ' —Dr. Palmiter and Horace Hollister have been re-appointed fire wardens for the current yozt?ﬂ?

About noon the residence of J. C. Zimmerman caught fire in the kitchen, spreading rapidly and causing considerable damage before the flames could be subdued. In the evening the smoke-house of Mr. Keasy was burned down, with some of the contents. The promptness and vigilance of our citizens averted more extensive damages. ~—@Geo. W. Walker, near Brimfield, «encloging 81, writes: “Henry Walker, wife and daughtey started for southwestern lowa on Wednesday evening, June 4th, expecting to spend three or four weeks with his son.

Eldred, of the LaPoite Argus, has been in town since Monday. He accompanied his brothér Theo. to “Indianapolis and witnessed the nuptial ceremonies.

At .one time sixteen pairs of horses were hitched to the cage, but were of no avail. A frame had to be built under the wheels. e

—Peterson’s Magazine for lJuly, is a superb number. There is no magazine offering similar attractions upon our table. The magnificent steel engraving of “The Young Harvesters” is full of the most suggestive beauty and feeling. All of its many departments are filled with pleasant, useful or entertaining reading. It is-the cheapest of the lady’s hooks—only $2.00 a year. Address Chas. J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. —Our townsman, Geo. Mock, tells a good story of a Yankee in this county who took delight in tantalizing the former with the. remark that the “Dutch” were unable to see after four o’clock. “I’ll show you, then,” replied Géorge, “that the ‘Duteh’ are more honest than the Yankees. You say they can’t see after four o’clock. Now, as nearly all the stealinig is done after that hour, it follows that the thieves must be others than the ‘Duteh.’”— Exit Yank. 2 4

—We had.-the pleasure of greeting in our sanctum, last Tuesday, the always welecome eountenance of our Bsteemed friend, Dr. Parker, of Kendallville. The Dr. is as true ag steel; you can always know exactly where he stands on any question of publie interest. 'We have aliking for men of such sterling qualities, and wouldn’t think of exchanging him for a dozen of gelfish “patriots” who care only for themselves and - wholly disregard the rights -of their fellow men. ' o —The team of Nathan White; attach- - ed to a wagon loaded with lumber, ran away from the depot last Friday, smashing things generally and. scattering the lumber far and wide. The _horses came rushing up Cavin street at a lively rate, turned the corner on Third street and went westward until they reached the public square, where they came in contact with some hitching posts, which stopped all further proceedings. One of thé horses was slightly injured in both hind legs.

—Efforts are being made to organize a German Lutheran congregation in this place. i —J. Adam Fehl has been granted a permit to sell spirituous liquors in the city of Kendallville. : —The engineers of theCanada Southern are still in this neighborhood. The prospects for Ligonier are still growing brighter. o _

—Adam Conrad has commenced the erection of a two-story brick business house on the south corner of his square. [t is not definitely settled as to who is to be the occupant, i —An adjourned meeting of the Ligonier Hook and Ladder Company will be held at the Town Hall on Wednesday evening of next week to receive propositions for membership. - —We earnestly recommend the citizens of this place to give the article headed “Tell City, Ind.,” an attentive perusal. It tells us very plainly what may be done by infusing a spirit of enterprise into a community of energetic men of limited capital. —The slander suits of Mr. Line against Messrs_{ Stuart and Tuber, of Washington township, this county, were tried in the Kosciusko circuit court the other week and resulted in favor of the defendants. Five or six davs were consumed in the trial.

—James Cunningham, Esq.," writes us: About Eel River; in Allen county, during the rain on Wednesday of last week, a boy driving along the road, one of his horses was killed by lightning and the other it is thought will not recovlér. The boy remained unconscious for a long time. —Hostilities against the caterpillars have commenced. Some are shooting them, others are severing the limbs that contain the mnest from the tree. If the great work of exterminating the worm is a success there will be an abundance of all Kkind of fruit with the exception of peaches. ; —Qur genial postmaster, finding the duties of his office too burdensome for one person, has secured an assistant in the person of Bruce Radabaugh.— We have often suggested to Hi. that he needed an assistant, but we meant one of the opposite gender. It seems, however, that these incorrigible bach-elors-wont heed sound, fatherly advice.

Tue decision of Judge Drummond in the Kendallville railroad subseription case will be fead with interest by every tax-payer of our neighboring city, ‘We give the: full text of the Judge's decision that the citizens of Kendallville may. know exactly what the law requires at.their hands. The publication of this decision should have been made in the Standard—as a matter of intportant news and correct information—-but as the editor of that paper is notoriously destitute of fairness and honor, the BANNER cheerfully devotes a portion of its space to the dissemination of Judge Drummond’s decision. “We learn that Gen. Cass has notified the proper authorities that Tlie will stand by the proposition made the city prior to the rulings of the court. He will retain the city’s bonds until the $25,000 are paid, which is.entively fair.

. EurekA COLLEGE, 111, had its commencement exercises on the Ist inst. From the published reports we glean the following with reference to the part taken by the pastor of the Christian Chureh, of this place: v J. E. llmjris presented a very able and thoughtful address on “Life’s Indirections.” It dealt with the deep problems of existence, and evinced at the same time extensive reading and profound thought. Some of the “Indireetions” referred to were the efforts of a certain school of modern scientists to eliminate God from the human mind, and the tendenecy in certain quarters to substitute irresponsible license for the liberty that is founded upon law and order, Possessed of a thoughtful and well-balanced mind, which has been highly cultivated; the speaker has a noble career before him.

During the heavy rain last week a water spout fell on Blackwood Creek, Republican Valley, State of Nebraska. A company of cavalry camped near where the flood came rolling down the creek in a perfect wall, five feet high. The camp was flooded, and six men and twenty-eight horses were drowned. Some escaped by climbing trees and remaining there forty-eight hours. A number of settlers were washed out, and some drowned. The river rose almost unprecedently high, but there was no damage to crops further than the covering up of fields. Mail carriers arriving at stations along the Republican had to swim their horses over the creek. ° : ———— General Davis had made preparation for the hanging of (aptain Jack and the more murderously inclined of his warriors, but the execution has been delayed until the General-Attorney’s opinion could be heard, which is that they be treated in accordance with the usages of war.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE, i KENDALLVILLE. - Undoubtedly the action of the Common Couneil of this city, on last Fri= day evening, was a very wise one, and will have a very salutary effect upon the prospects of this place. The proposition of General Cass (to release the Kendallville subscription of '583,000, with interest, in consideration of the sum of $25,000, payable in ten annual payments, with six per cent. interest, and the surrender of the Grand Rapids Railroad stock) was accepted, by a vote of four to one, and measures taken to complete the iarrangement.— The reports show that we have on hand something near- two thousand dollars of railroad taxes collected, and quite a large amount of delinquent, so that she first payment is nearly provided for. This will be a good start, and I prophesy that property will now bring what it is. wog‘th in this 'place, and that investments made here will be profitable to those making them.— In addition to the $25,000, I learn that there is an indebtedness of $17,000, mostly from building the sechool-house, making in all about $42,000 as the total indebtedness of this.corporation. A rigid policy should be adopted by the council for the liquidation of this indebtedness. -

The postmaster of this place calls attention to the Brief of Messrs. Ninde & Fay, published in the Standard .of last week. Ie says “the argument is elaborate, able and conclusive, and proves the position he has held from the start: that not a dollar can be collected,” ete. What a ponderous legal mind this C. O. Myers has! I wonder that he did not choose the law for his profession. The world undoubtedly has lostt much because this, fellow sought a post office rather than the law. But then, this brief, which is 'so “able and conelusive,” did not weigh very heavily in the mind .of Judge Drummond, before whom the case was tried. The brief was thrown out of court and the ‘cases were decided against the city, notwithstanding the opinion of this postmaster that they could not collect a dollar., This lick-spittle says, “a few dead beats and paupers are anxious to pay whatever the bond-holders ask.” Now this is a direct insult to nineteen out of every twenty of the citizens of" this place—that being the proportion who favored the acceptance of Gen. Cass’ proposition: How much longer will the people of this town have to bear his insults? When avill his perfidious denunciation ‘cease 7 ~ Mis. Mains was fined five dollars and costs at Albion during this court—not as much as they would have fined a poor boy for some little misdemeanor. Then it is established that this woman can go on in the terrible business in which she is engaged and no jury in Noble county will stop her. I preswme: there are many young men, and girls too, who.can date their downfall to the influence of the place she keeps. Your correspondent has enjoyed.the privilege which only hewspﬂpbr men have. I wrote up Weston“'s “take-off” on the committee that went to Fort Wayne as told to me by Captain I—. The consequences were, my place :of business was visited by “Cy,” who was very wrathy and objected strongly to being classed with O. K. Trip. 'On the evening of the same day 0. K. came in. The proprietor not being present, he departed with curses at the author of the article. ' On-the next evening 0. K. came agdin and inquired if Dr. —— wag in. I answered, “Yes, sir.” He said: “Sir, Tam very much grieved —I am hurt! I understand that you are the author of a slanderous airticle in the Ligonier BANNER; I care nothing for myself, but my family; my little child is insulted. ' Sir, O. K. Trip left this town six years ago and paid one hundred cents on the dollar, and now I return .aild° you have disgraced me.” I told him I thought the advertisement would be worth ten dollars to him. : This T think had a modifying effect upon him, as he said, “It is Wwell I did not meet you last night,” and left me in silent meditation. The question, now is: When does the Rev.Blainy and his intimate friend, the patent right dealer, propose to commence their travels to make the

raps? . ; L How does it come that a certain “doctor of this place is allowed fifty dollars for treating Henry Smith and family, while another is allowed nothing for treating the same family at about the same time ? Will our county commissioners please rise and explain ? ~ Keller Moyer was here last week. - John Weston testified for the defense, last week, in the case of the State vs. Mrs. Mains. o ; -Circuit Prosecutor W, B.

OLD S_ETTLERS MEETING. Pursuant to previous appointment a large number of old settlers and others, met at the Couit House in the town of Albion, June 7th, 1873. ; ~ The meeting was called to order by the President, who addressed the mevet—?} -ing at some length, which address, by a unanimous vote of the society, was. ordered to be published in the different papers in the county. e ot Minutes of last meeting read and approved. Reports of committees from Washington, Allen, Elkhart, Sparta, and Noble townships, of old settlers, were read. = jrd i ‘ ~ On motion of Dr. D. W. C.

At one o’clock reassembled in front of the Court House, when after a lengthy address to the Throne of Grace, delivered by the Hon. Peter Kiser of the city of Ft. Wayne, interesting and dppropriate speeches were delivered by the said Kiser, Henry Miller, Joel B. L. Smith, Joel Vanderford, James MeConnell, and others. e e - In response to calls from the assembly Mrs. Dr. Bourie, of Rochester, appeared upon the stand gnd sang an ‘appropriate song. . | . Col. John Jackson, of Benton, was called upon for a speech, but on account of feeble health. was obliged to decline, e o The thanks of the meeting were fendered to Mrs: Dr. Bourie for her song, and to the Albion Brass-Band for their contribution to the interest and pleasure of the occasion. ! -On motion the proceedings were ordered to be published in the different newspapers of the county. : .

* NOBLESVILLE. Quite a serious accident oceurred on the farm of Samuel Heintzelman, two miles south-east of Noblesville, on Monday, June 2nd. Edward, soniof Mr. H., was engaged in plowing a field close by. A l_m'\ge tree, which was on fire, broke off abput fifteen feet above the ground, falling on the horses and killing them almost instantly. The team was first-class, and fully worth $3OO. . . The. grub and. eut: worm is playing havoc with the corn in this locality. . A word to the supervisor: Youhad better fix that hole in a Eertain bridge, for a horse might accidentally step ih and break a leg; such an occurrence might give you ti‘mﬂ)lejﬂnd cause-no little expense. - : | . . Elder. Philip Ziegler addressed a large concourse of people in the Christian Chapel last Sabbath. It may not be wholly ~amiss to state that the Elder recently caused the remains of his two, children that were buried in the Sandford graveyard to be disinterred and removed to the mew Christian Chapel Cemetery. ~His wife died afew weeks since in Pennsylvania; her remains were also interred in the last named cemetery. The Dunkards will hold their annual communion in their new church, two. miles south of Noblesville, next Saturday evening. It will bean interesting occasion and draw a large attendance. It is my deliberate judgment that the middle bridge‘!at Ligonier is an abominable nuisance which ought to be speedily abated. S I witnessed the fire in the town of Ligonier last Friday, and give it as my opinion ;that Mr. Zimmerman’s building was saved by what I léarned to be Stoll’s famous Babeock Extinguisher, which was.gkillfully manipulated by Mr. Shorty.: . . _ Shearing sheep, replanting corn, and working roads is the order of the day in this community. : ‘Boys, let me say to you in a spirit of kindness: -be careful when pitehing horse-shoes lest one of these impliments accidentall v lodge in one of your eyes.. ° : : ARGUS. 5 ————e———— ELKHART TOWNSHIP ASSESSo MENT. v

7. B. SToLL:—This 4s'my first effort at penning a few lines for public print.
