—Judge Tousley adjourned court last Thursday. i ' —Meeting of the Town Council tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock. —lt is now fashionable for ILadies out calling to roll up a “fat cake” in their cambrie. i ' - “—We are happy to state that there is not now a solitary case of small-pox in the town of Ligonier: e —They had a nice little rain at Brimfield Tuesday noon. 'Why are these favors dealt out with such partiality ? o ‘ —Auditor Stewart publishes a very interesting statement to the tax-payers of Noble county in this issue of the "BANNER. . : ! : —The saw-mill of H. Moyer, Kendallville, situated west of South Bend, was totally destroyed by fire last Sunday night. : —Sol. Ackerman talks of testing his popularity by ecirculating a petition for a permit to sell “Lager” and something stronger under the Baxter law. —Jonathan Simmons returned last week from his two weeks’ visit to Illinois. He is favorably impressed with the general appearance of things in the Sucker State. ‘_ - —We find this paragraph in the N. Y. World: “A Western paper states ‘that Congressman William Williams, “of Indiana, has turned over his back pay—to Mrs. Williams,” —Albion and Kendallville are making extensive preparations to celebrate the anniversary of American independence. Col. W. C. Williams is posted as orator of the day for Albion. " —Adam Conrad has determined upon congtructing his new brick business house according to latest architectural “designs. . It is to be adorned with iron -columns, galvanized iron.cornice, and ditto window caps. —Emanuel Stutzman, an old-time Hawpatch Republican, handed us two dollars the other day with the remark that he must have a paper that will stand up manfully for the rights of the people. That’s exactly what the BANNER is doing. - —Will Scott and Frank ‘Weod, the former-a son of D. S. Scott and the latter of Jindge Wood, passed a very creditable examination at Ann Arbo¥ (Mich.) College. They returned home last Saturday, highly gratified with the progress made in their studies during the term just ended. ; t

—Our townsman, Timothy Hudson, started on an extensive trip to the Far West, last Tuesday morning. He will vigit all the notable points in that land of fair pretensions, and promises to favor our readers with an occasional correspondence. : —Postmaster Goodspeed is now daily supplied, by the Chief Signal officer of the U. S., with full weather reports. Parties desiring to consult “Old Probabilities” will examine the card at the Postoffice, which will be placed therein each day upon the arrival of the western mail.

—dJudge Tousley did not like to decide the case of the Liquor dealers vs. the Town of Ligonier, for the refunding of certain licenses, but remitted the whole question to the Supreme Court, which may render % decision some time during the present year. ~—Major Julius Waldschmidt, of Goshen, galled in to see us last Saturday. Though an ardent Republican in the past, he has no hesitancy in expressing the opinion that the interests of the people demand the speedy organiation of a party that will properly ‘meet the demands of the toiling masses. i

—Extensive preparations are being made to render the Fourtlii of July Pie-nic which is to be héld on the beautiful grounds just south' of Diamond Lake a grand success. Among the exercises of the day will be a balloon aseension, a bowery dance, and a foot-race betwéen Dan. Amsden and “Fatty” Ruple. Goandsee what Todd can do when he tries. : 1 —Wilhelm, the affable bar-tender in Adam Fehl’s (Kendallville) Restaurant, concluded some time since that ‘ he had dwelled long enough in an unpretentious country town, and accor- 1 dingly domiciled himself in the city of Chicago. He remained about six or‘ seven weeks, when recollections of the happy days passed unter Adam’s Dach prompted him to return to his former allegiance and reinstate himself in a position for which he is so admirably suited. It is difficult to .determine who is the happier over the reunion— Wilhelm or Adam! : —The Concert by students of the Ligoniet Academy of Music, Friday evening, was largely attended by eur own citizens and a respectable number of visitors from abroad. The programme contained a number of excellent pieces, and while it cannot truthfully be said that all were rendered in a faultless manner, the concert, as a whole, gave general satisfaction. Mr, Sandrock’s performances on the piano elicite%:hp most enthusiastic applause, while the efforts of some others also came in for a liberal manifestation of popular favor,- A _ —lln a frip due south from Ligonier into Whitley county, the latter part of last ‘wee hea f...was,n(:gcedvto beq;tét;":&ev‘%yWihan fof some years, and the corn erop just the contrary. Cyh ﬁ&l, Bim. Smith, Josepl Hitler, Dick Mayfleld, and AL Green evidently did n’t have to. plant the second time, as did most others on the route: They probably saved their seed in the Fall and cared for it thro’ the winter, as every farmer should. It ~each farmer in the county had done the same, it would have put hundreds of doflars in their pockets. - 3 B 3 E PR G e e K 3

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. : KENDALLVILLE. ; Leman Chapple, living at Huntertown, while on his return from Fort ‘Wayne, the other day, in company with his wife and others, met with a frightful accident which it is said will prove fatal to his wife,. and perhaps others, I am not informed as to the particulars of the accident, further than that his team became frightened and ran away. This unfortunate family has several relatives living in Allen township, this county, who suppose that the wife is dead, from the injuriesshe received, ere this writing. 7 : - Keller Moyer, now living at Clam Lake, Mich., made his friends here a visit the fore part of this week., He says they propose to have a grand Iranting excursion, to leave that place | about the middle of July. He extended invitations to several parties of this place. 2 ; The attorneys in the recent law-suit which came off before Judge Wildman were, Messrs. Goodwin, Colgrove and Chapin on one side, and V. C. Mains, C. 0. Myers and ’Squire Graves on the other. ‘ The Baptists at their festival last week cleared the neat little sum of fifty dollars. : The Methodist Church is going forward rapidly. The walls are getting well up. ‘ It is reported that the potato bugs are leaving. - Capt.“lddings has purchased a new buggy. ' * Adam Feehl was the champion shot at the late Lutheran Festival. | C. O. Myers’ speech in the recent suit, like many positions he has takeh of late, was not appreciated by the public. ’ . ; - Ed. Lisle has “swore off.” I-Lisbon proposes to have a grocery store, T : Chapin is looking for a cooler law office. - !

Fielding Prickett said, “the town of Ligonier will havé to pay back the money obtained from the saloon keepers,” while here the other day. There is still an effort being made to move back the old - building = just south of the Schaefer block. . ' The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has not yet secured the right of way through Judge Randall’s farm, near Avilla. He démands $1,500, but the Company only offer $l,OOO. They require one mile in length through his place, and will proceed according te law to get possession. The Methodist festival on Tuesday evening was largely attended. The profits must have been large, amounting to over $l5O. Boat-riding is entirely prohibited on our lake on Sundays on account of the nakedness of indecent men and boys. A complaint was filed the other day in the Mayor’s office against C. O. Myers. The erime of which he is accused I have not learned but suppose it was for stealing sheep. = , Kendallville proposes to wet Main street with hose and force-pumps, Nelson Prentiss, Esq., and Sheriff Hough, of Albion, were here on Wednesday. : . The Rev. Goodman, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, was successful over several divines in getting a very nice cake at the Baptist festival, which had been gotten up by Mr. Kraner for the occasion. o It is reported that Keller Moyer has sold his property in the east part of town, to asman by the name of Myers, for $1,700. So you see property begins to sell for something' near what it is worth. i JOE.

' CHURUBUSCO. Barber shop has left town. S. J. Clark has returned from De-s troit. The health of his family is some better. - The social party, the other evening at J. L. Isherwoods, was a success. ) The Good Templars I understand, had a splendid time at their reunion on last Friday in Columbia City. ‘ Dr. 0. Gandy was in town this week | bn business. : . AccipENT.—Mr. J. R. Ross’ little girl broke her arm yesterday by falling from off the fence. The grading upon our streets is progressing finely. - We notice that the steeple on the church is completed. J. Richard has taken in during the past two weeks one thousand and thirty four pounds of butter and one thousand six hundred and twenty two dozen of eggs. o Dr. Magers is doing a splendid business in the drug and ice-cream line. ‘The Columbia City folks are going to pic-nic in the grove near this place on next Thursday. = J. M. Harrison is 1o deliver the address of welcome.

- The Busconians are making grand preparations for celebrating the fourth. The programme will consist in speaking, music, toast, and a general good time. Mr. Campbell of Columbia City will address the audience in the forenoon, and W, S. Gandy and T. J. Douglay, in the afternoon. Friends of liberty, you are kindly invited to come and spend one day with us. Let us have a rousing time. : : Rev. J. N. Morris of Columbia City was in our town on last Thursday and Friday and I understand by the school teacher, that he visited the public school and delivered a very appropriate address to the pupils. He jis a young man of good qualifications, and well fitted for the profession on which he is entering. I hope that succéss may crown his labors, and that he may have a pleasant sojourn wherever he may besent. ~ Howmo. . (From another Uorrespondent.) - The latest sensation—A Good Templar on a bender. | , Good time for moonlight walks, only : - there is no moon to speak of.

Our Church will be finished soon.—: We only look forward with pleasure to the day of its completion. - Singing at Deck’s Hall every Saturday evening under the supervision of Prof. Kinsey. ' Cro-k is all the rage now. ' Fine evening. for swinging on the front gate. Wesaw some young folks practicing a few nights ago; they | seem to enjoy it. ' Young man, practice a little more wisdom and do not be quite so peevish. You make an egotistical little runt of yourself, and appear most ridiculous to your young associates. 'Busco is still improving as rapidly since its revival by the D. & E. Railroad as any town we ever saw, and we can only say: success to every effort she makes at improvement, and cordially invite business men to call and see us. . SENTIO.

L HAWERATOH. . ~ Harvest is rapidly approaching. Wheat will becut by the fourth of July. ' ‘* Business is thriving in our village. We now have two groceries—A. E. Troyer having embarked in that enterprise. . " A new post-office has been established here, called the Hawpatch P. O, with J. M. Cruson as postmaster. Mr: Gale has purchased Wm. Parks’ farm. ' The price paid . is heldas a seeret, but knowing ones put it at $l3O per acre. . Doc. Ayers is going to move to Michigan, where he contemplates entering upon the practice of medicine. Doc. is a first-class blacksmith, and we wo’ld like to have him remain with us. The address of Nelson Prentiss, in last week’s BANNER, was read with deep interest and much pleasure. * Ice-cream and lemonade is all the rage in the “Patch” during this hot season.

The new dress of the BANNER is greatly admired bv its many readers in this locality. The BANNER is emphatically the people’s favorite. I have read, with some amusement, the queer sayings of “Rich; Merchant” on the use of tobacco. Being one of the number destined to be damned for using the weed, I expect to meet “Rich Merchant” on the banks of destruction, there to enjoy the torments of hell. For, be it remembered, the Bible teaches us that it is easier for a Camel to pass through the eye of a small needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Amen! W OBSERVER.

f NOBLESVILLE. ’ Mr. John Albert informs me that on the night of the 17th inst., while he and his wife were gone from home, some scamps, who had not the least bit of manhood about them, went into his smoke-house and took out his little innocent ‘dog and killed it. Mr. A. says he would sooner have lost a ten dollar bill. Elder David Lida delivered two eloquent discourses in theChristian Chapel last Sabbath. The members, and others in the community, presented him with twoelegant quilts, for which he tendered them his sincere thanks. Meadows that cut from three to four tons of hay last year will not cut more than from one to three this year, © . Cut-worms’ day is past. * Wheat in this locality will do to cut in ten or twelve days. _ Potato bugs are scarce in this neighborhood. : . - Whoever took those fence-posts that did n’t belong to him from Ziegler’s mill had better return them or come and pay for the same. ARGTUS.

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. MRr. Eprror:—l wish to say a few words through :the columns of the BANNER concerning our fire department. ; : It is highly necessary for us to organize our fire company as soon as possible, as we are liable to have a fire at any moment during this excessively dry weather. Fires come when least looked for. If the town expects to have a fire company, they must throw out some inducement. B

Experience has taught me that it is impossible to organize a company composed entirely of property holders, that will ever amount to anything.— You ask a man to join the company and they say, “I don’t propose to pay fifty cents for the privilege of hauling thoge trucks around.” ‘We must make an amendment to our constitution admitting members. to the company without an initiation fee, for the dues, which are ten cents per month, will defray all expenses, such as lights and fuel, as the company’s regular meetings are but once a month. '

Firemen should be exempt from road-tax, which is a very slight compensation for' their services. If we must pay 50 ets. initiation fee, work our road-tax, buy our own uniforms, and work like the —— as firemen must, just for the honor of being a fireman, it will be rather a slim’company we'll have. e ‘We must have a fire-bell, for often five or ten minutes time is lost in finding keys to the churches. The Hook and Ladder Building should be kept unlocked. There is no danger of any one stealing the trucks. Let us get to work at once, as delays sometimes prove disastrous. ~ DONNYBROOK.

—We would deem it a particular favor, about this time, to receive prompt, favorable responses to all bills sent out from this office for job work and advertising. Being engaged in building,.and having incurred heavy expenses by the purchase of new type, we need every dollar due wus for

—The members of Excelsior Lodge, L 0.0. F., will bear in mind that the election of officers for the ensuing term will take place next Saturday evening. A full attendance is earn‘éstly requested. . ; 7 e A s i - For the best and cheapest two-horse -eorn cultivators eall on E. B. Gerber.

The Ligonier BANNER, week before last, came out printed on new type and handsomely improved. The BANNER always was a good paper, but since it has donned the new suit, its editor is putting on extras to make the paper attractive. As a county paper we know no superior.— Warsaw Union. ‘We ask pardon of the “fat cantributor” of the Ligonier BANNER for not sooner mentioning the improvement recently made in that paper. The BANNER, like a handsome lady, looks beautiful in a new dress. It should be, and doubtless is, the pride of Ligonier. — Whitley Commercial. '
