The programme is excellent, containing twen-ty-two first-class Lpieces’ which are being earefully rehearsed. Everybody should come out and enjoy this treat.

—Our business streets are never wanting pedestrians during the walking hours; but evenings, Saturdays, and on special occasions, they are often uncomfortably thronged, though our sidewalks are unusually broad, and it is often a puzzle to know which way to turn to avoid awkward dodging or ‘collisions. All this might be greatly obviated if everyone would remember to take the right. 'Try it. Another thing: Every true gentleman or lady will especially refrain from stopping in the centre of the walk for chats and confabs. Such people seem to think “the world was made for Caesar.” - i

-—When you go into a newspaper office (says an exchange,) to get a copy of the paper, never wait till you get half way out of the door, to ask the price of it. The newspaperanan knows as well as you that you never expected to pay for it, and often says: “O, nothing; never mind.” /But if he should happen to tell you the paper called for the pitiful sum of five cents, ten chances to-.one you would go off and talk about the littleness of newspaper men’s souls, Come ‘in like a man, with a nickle in your hand, get your paper, deposit your change and walk off on your shape. It looks more like business. . :

—Just as our people were congratulating themselves upon the disappearance of the small-pox from our midst, the physicians announced that Samuel Morrell, who visited Chicago during the recent Jubilee, had contracted that disease. The wusual precautionary measures were at once resorted to and the patient placed under treatment of Dr. Denny. The case evidently being a very critical one, (the patient pergistently refusing vaccination) but little hope was entertained for the recovery of Mr. Morrell, whose sufferings were simple terribly. He died last evening about'six o’clock and was buried during the night. There are now no other cases of small-pox in town., b

|LOC‘AL CORRESPONDENCE. ¢ . KENDALLVIIEE. &§ 1 Our German fellow citizens held a meeting on last Sabbath in Reed’s grove, which was largely attended, many being present from Fort Wayne, a special train coming out for their benefit. Onthe Monday following a pic-nic was held at the same place under the auspices of the Lutheran society which resulted satisfactorily to all present. A brass-band from Fort Wayne dispensed good music and the -chil‘dren | especially enjoyed themselves l hugely. Refreshments of all kinds ‘were found upon the ground and the } proceeds are to be devoted to the erec‘tion of their new church which is now being built. The children made a fine display as they marched through the streets with music and banners flying. These pic-nics are held annually ‘and upon that day the (frermans of this place give up everything to the enjoyment of themselves and others. ‘Charley Aichele proposes to run the city treagurer’s office without the assistance of any of the other officers. He feels perfectly competent to receive money for licenses and will issue receipts for the same. Henry Moyer won his suit at Indianapolis wherein something near two thousand dollars was involved.

. WAWAKA. " : Monday niorning, and how busy everybody seems with care and thought, especially the housekeéper. One more week, one more month, one more kind word and disinterested act of charity, and one more local item for the BANNER, and we take a long breath and exclaim, with the preacher: “Surely there is a time for everything, and for every purpose under heaven—a time to weep and a time to ldugh; a time to keep silence and a time to speak, and time to die; yet Queen Elizabeth’s dying words were, “I would give all my jewels for an inch of time.” . This bright June morning we have been hunting up the little miller that laid the egg that hatched the moth: that ate the furs that we bought at Farrell’s store, while some boy has killed the cat that caught the rat that ate the malt at Mumart’s mammoth mill, and at the same time John F. Knepper is dealing out dry goods and groceries with his own, honest hands; Jeff, Miller is making ice cream ; Hank Kime selling confectioneries; ’Squire Roberts dealing out drugs and singing snatches from Mozart, and Dr. Nimmon, our venerable “Dbck,” with his snowy beard, staff in hand like a pilgrim, is making his daily rounds, curing all who get sick. - M. M. Dodge yesterday found a $lOO bill in‘the sawdust at his mill, which he promptly sent to Hank Stump who proved to be the rightful owner. Our ‘teutonic friend will have to admit ‘that there is at least one honest Yankee in Wawaka. . :

S. P. Van Akin and lady, also M. M. Dodge and daughters, attended the jubilee at Chicago and seem quite elated over the Anvil Chorus and the ride through the tunnel under the river, - Mirs. Howe, of this place,has revived the Woman’s Foreign ~Mission Society. We meet once a month, have select readings and Missionary Tea.— ‘Who can say but the Good Spirit pervades the hearts of the good ladies here, who are casting their'bread upon the waters. o : Mrs. Aaigie Benson says shie has at last discovered—what no otherlive woman inthe ninteenth century knows—the art of ?m’king her husband’s shirt fit perfectly about the neck, -and she propo§es eré long to ‘wave the magic wand and impart the secret to her tried sisters in Noble county, provided they will all keep it a secret—and they will, for, alas! the ne plus ultra of woman’s ambition is to please her husband. : : s The Rev. G. W. Howe, of the M. E. Church, last Sabbath gave the hand of fellowship to five persons. One was baptized by sprinkling and three were led dow into the water, were buried and “rose again to walk in newness of life.” ane ; Now I will tell you how we manage our darling little ones: Just as soon as they begin to show signs of total depravity (which is at six months) we take them to the Sabbath school and ‘there we whisper in their ears the first .words of love to their Creator, and the effe¢ct upon them is noble and the | scheme a success. To this all other towns can bear testimony. Our artist, Mr. Shoemaker, is still taking people and their money, while our milliners are taking orders for hats and bonnets; so you see all are happy, each in their respective calling. o - PROGRESS.

It is as mythical as the railroad to the moon.” As the reputed engineers of this concern are periodically reported as being engaged in surveying a line here_,_there, and some+ where else, we presume this little par: agrztpfi will have a quieting effect upon the nerves of some folks we wot of. o |

—Samuel Morrell, whose death is recorded elsewhere, was in many respects a clever, kind-hearted man ; but, like so many others addicted to the excessive use of the ruinous cup, he was his own worst enemy.

.WHEN we hear Republicans grow wrathfully patriotic over the’ recent Congressional outrage, whereby nearly two millions of public money were stolén, we take some little pleasure in quoting from Gen. Garfield, who" in defense of himself as one of the public thieves, says: “If the delegates believe the retroactive salary clause is so infamous that I ought to resign for voting for the appropriation bill to which it was attached, will they follow out their logic and insist that the President ought toresign for signing it? My vole did not make it a law. His signature did.” Nobody but a Federal appointee ‘can reply to the above, and the answer is usually that the locofocos want to pay off the rebel debt.

THE Premium List -for the Indiana State Fair and Expositon has been delivered: to the Secretary of the State Board and is now ready for distribution. /The amount of premiums offered is $20,000.

. SUBSCRIDBY NATIONAL BANNER, The reliable Family Paper of t .= Noble County. . Terms: Two Dollars a Year, One Dollar for Six Months. ~ Cash in Advance! The NarioNnaL BANNER, in the future, as in the past, will be the exponent of what it conceives to be correct principles. It is independent, fearless and free in politics, and will ex: pose corruption and fraud under whatever party name it may be found, believing that the true mission of the press is the promotion of the best interests of the masses of the people, to whom alone every honest journal loekt for countenance and support. We shall labor therefore, to serve the general welfare, in dej fiauce of the opposition of cliques and rings o, all parties, - : : Opposed, as we are, to a reign of oppression, tyranny, corruptionycrime, venality, frand and theft, we have cast 2ur lot with the Democratic: Liberal organization, and shall support its nominees-- County, State and National; believing that, in no other way, can the purity of the bailot-box be maintained, public and private confidence restored, the weight of taxation removed, and peace and quiet restored between all sections. As we think, the peojle have now undertaken to control their own affairs, and we propose to aid them ir the discharge of that Jaudable undertaking, looking forward to that era of fraternal feeling which must necessarily result from every combination in which the masses propose to untrammel themselves from party domination and usurpation.

FLOCAILLAFFFAIRS We make no high sounding brags about’ 4qn immense circulation that we do not possess, uor do we propose to entice people to our support by means of ‘““premiums’ or any other hypocritical inducements.
