“OUR LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. : KENDALLVILLE., The Hon. T. Y. Dickinson, of Waterloo, who was recently married to'Mrs. Wilson, of Fort Wayne, a lady in the employ of Capt. Iddings in the pension ‘office, was invited to meet his wife at this place and spend the Sabbath with Mr. Iddings and family.” It had been arranged that’ Mr. Iddings should be at the Grand Rapids depot with his buggy to receive Mrs. Dickinson and they wonld then go over to the Air Line depot to meet the anticipated husband and convey them to his: ¥esidence a mile south of town. The €aptain was promptly on time and fonnd the woman all right at the Grand Rapids depot, but the man failed to make eonnection at the appointed place, so, after driving up through Main street and all the while keeping an anxious lookout for the husband, Mr. Iddings drove home without flim. 'Soon after, an elderly gentleman, gquite tall, nicely shaven, wearing a black hat and walking a little lame, was noticed passing slowly up and down the street and looking anxiously about as if in search of some one. Upon inquiry I learned that this was T. Y. Dickinson, and when it is known that he only passes the Sabbaths with his wife, his anxiety can well be imagined. He soon learned, however,-that his wife had arrived.and gone to the residence of Mr. Tddings, after which T. Y. was not long, seen in the city. S Orr & Co. have taken the contract to move the old Lisle building -back for $65 and have commenced operations. : : sy

- Bundy has thrown up his contract on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. The estimate whicli they gave hintr was not enough to pay the men in his employ. He thinks they purposely made a low estimate in order to drive him from the works., Ile will probably commence suit against the Company for damages. . . ~ The farming community disappointed the business men of this place last Saturday by failing to come to town in any great numbers. ’ The idea of C. O. Myers calling the corporation officials of this eity ‘pimps,’ reminds one of the story of the devil talking to Christ. Ie stands in about the same relation to good citizens as the devil did to Christ. :

Some of the results of C.O. Myers’ obtaining the post-office of this place in the manner he did is apparent in the dissipation of the former postmaster—his wife leaving him—and all the sad consequences of a broken up family. = Dr. Erickson expects to leave this place saon for Fort Wayne, where he will co;ntinue'_the practice of medicine. The Doctor will leave many warm friends here, who will always be glad to-hear of his prosperity. The health in this vicinity is generally good. : ' Wm. Limboe’s wife, near this place, was last Monday delivered of a child which weighed twenty-three pounds. C. 'O. Myers begins to think that sheep stealing is not a very pleasant. business after all. From the time.the affidavit was filed against him he has been sick and he appeared before the Mayor this morning, the time set for trial, and asked for a continuance until his purging ceased The Mayor having satisfactory evidence of the truthfulness of Myers’ plea, ‘granted it, and the case was put, off until Wednesday, July Bd. - : It is expected that Kendallville will be full of people on the Fourth. The day will be celebrated in the good oldfashioned style, in accordance- with the ideas of our fathers. ILet everybody come and celebrate the “glorious Fourth.” : e Charles Aichele collects 'the delinquent taxes for Wayne and Allen townships. e ‘ Kendallville is overrun with organgrinders, beggars and Italian singing boys.

: CLEARSPRING: . Epitor BANNER:—It is :a pretty hard matter to find any items of interest here in the country just now; however, I will try and write a few lines. Harvesting has commenced here, to some extent. Wheat is so heavy that it has lodged considerably. The Baptist congregation of Jones’ Chapel gave an ice cream and.strawberry festival last Saturday _evening. The attendance was good and quite a handsome sum was realized. Proceeds to be applied toward repairing the Chapel. : . If those fellows who come to the river to fish would come sober it would look more respectable. , . Stealing has become a rather frequent occurrence in this vieinity; one man misses a hoe from his field, another some kitchen furniture, a third some flour, and a lady has lost her silver thimble, needles, pins, ete. This looks rather small. We would advise a-discontinuance or some names will be published.

1 We noticed a load of force pumps, which were manufactured atLagrange, pass along the road with a huge piece of buff calico.. Hurrah for Kosciusko! We saw a gentleman from the northern part of Lagrange county who tells us the wheat in that section is not a half crop, and that it is the poorest he has ever known it to be. g - Oats are very short, but as we write it is raining and we are encouraged to expect a tolerably fair crop. . ' - Corn presents a good appearance. - Potato bugs are numerous, That mill-pond is the nicest thing we ever heard of. Everybody likes it. The fish law is nichts-komm-heraus in Lagrange, o i o “Joe’s” articles are read with interest ROEG i it R o s R,

REAPERS FOR SALE—The undersigned has two Wood Self Rake Reapers which he has not had the time to gell in proper season, and which will be sold cheap for ‘cash or on short time.

‘The “Fourth” will be celebrated at Angola by a grand Basket Pic-Nicand Union Sabbath Sschool Celebration.— Dr. Geo. W. McConnell is designated as President of the day, and the speechifying will be done by Rev. E. Andrus, Rev. W. McCarty and Prof. J. W.Cowen. . s . .

Says the -Lagrange Standard: “One of our most substantial citizens expressed himself as highly pleased with Billy William’s idea, that the country press were entirely to blame -for the: general condemnation of 'the salary grab. e believesin the country press now more than ever.” : | The Warsaw Indianian understands how to deal gently with the erring. It tells how a drunken man came into a barber shop and shot at a man named Clifford Lewis because he would not give him a dime; but out of consider-. ations for the feelings of the drunkens brute, and at his request, withholds his name. T

Peter Montgomery, a resident of Elkhart county, about four miles northwest of Milford, committed suicide by hanging himself to a tree, on the 17th ult. Debts which he- was unable to meet are supposed to have prompted the rash deed. Montgomery was an industrious ‘man and a member of the Tunker Church., :

DeKalb county, by its assessment under the new law, foats up taxable property to the amoufit of $6,803,127. Average value of land, $l9 per acre. Lagrange county, total value of taxable property, $7,647,438 ; average value of land, $15.30 per acre. According tothe Standard the assessment is about' 45 per cent. above 1872. :

These are the kind of incidents occurring in Whitley county. Wequote from the Columbia City Post of the 26th: “A couple of ladies, while engaged in setting the Lord’s house inorder, in Thornereek township, got into a fight, and uprooted ‘hair at a lively rate. Jos. Adair took judicial serutiny of the case on yesterday. One of them is unmarried. Specimen wife. :

M. Christian Reider, who recently died of small-pox at Columbia City, aged 55 years, 7 months and 14 days, was a native of Dauphin eounty, Pa., and a brother of our esteemed fellowcitizen, Jacob Reider, of Washington township, Noble county, He was a resident of Wayne county, Ohio, from the year 1829 to 1865, when he moved to Columbia City, where he resided until the day of his death. He was an esteemed member of the Independent Order of Odd:Fellows.

A correspondent from the thriving village of Fremont, in Steuben county, writes thusly: *“The ‘good templars ; seem to be very anxious to prosecute - cases under thé mew liquor law and send word to the Prosecuting Attorney when they have a case. He comes over and there is not a man to make an affidavit for a warrant; so said prosecutor finds there is nothing for him to do but.go back to Angola. This law is one of their own making, and they should be the first to enforce it Exactlx. b v £et TaE storm, on Thursday afternoon of last week, done considerable damage in town. ‘The rafters, just put up on the new Disciple Church, were blown down, carrying with them the brick in the south gable. The total damage, to the society and contractors, will probably reach $3OO. The same day Gen. Blair’s residence was struck by lightning, the current passing down, a chimney and damaging the house: and furniture to the amount of about $lOO.. None of the family were injured.— Waterloo Press, July 3. Elkhart county had, on the first day of April, 8,527 horses, 287 mules, 19,933 head of cattle, 22,801 sheep, 24,010 ‘ hogs, 39,476 acres "of wheat, 24414 acres of corn, 9,594 acres of oats, 555,519 bushels of wheat, 745,856 bushels of corn, 188,150 ‘bushels of oats, i 67,182 bushels. of gpota%t,oqs, 7,088 bushels of rye, 80,963 bushelsiof fruit, 13,091 tons of hay, 92,838 pounds »of‘ beef, 1,374,964 pounds of bulk pork, 1 176,266 pounds of lard, 64,987 pounds of w 001,5,941 pounds of tobacco, 40,416 ‘ pounds of maple sugar, 49,941 galions of cider, 22,345 gallons of vinegar, 137 Piano-Fortes, 211 melodeons and ira gang, 1,509 sewing machines. e

__The Waterloo Press tells the folJowihg singalar story: *Ony ﬁnday last the remainsiof » man weré found Jn the barn of a man named Moore, at North Benton, Steuben county, -nine miles northwest of this place.” The body had been in possession of Moore for six weeks, and its presence was: detected by the stench it caused in the neighborhood, Moore says his son is a doctor at Auburn, and .that 4he bady ig one<he ol precused for “dissection.” On inquiry, however, it seems that no doctor or medical stu~dent of that name lives in Auburn. The citizens, or'a considerable portion of them, doubt the explanation given 'by Moore; but, strange ds'it. may ap_pear, allowed the body to be buried “without a legal investigation. Some of them were here on qugay. _after advice, and were told go ‘give the facts to the coroner of Steubén ceunty. The body was not recognized by those WUy e Tet

The NamioNAL BANNER, in the future, as in the past, will be the ‘exponent of what it conceives to-be correct principles. 'lt is independent, fearless and free in politics, and will expose 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. eVe shall ' labortherefore, to serve the general welfare, in def fiauce of the opposition of cliques and rings o, all parties. ‘ ‘Opposed, as we are, to a reign of oppressiop, ‘tyranny, corruption, erime, venality, fraud and theft, we have cast our lot with the Democrat-ic-Liberal organization, and shall support its nominees— County, State and National; believi ing that, in no other way, can the purity of the ballot-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 people have fow. undertaken to control their own affairs, ard we propose to aid them in the discharge of that Jaudable undertaking, looking forward to. that era of fraternal feeling which must necessarily result from eévery combination in which the masses propose to untrammel themselves from party demination and usarpation. |

LOCAIL AFFAIRS ’ -~ We make no high sounding brags about an immense circulation that we do not possess, nor-do we propose to enticé people to our support by means of ‘“premiums’’ or any other hypoeritical inducements. We want the BaxNER to pass:for what it is worth, on a fair and square business basis, and we expect to charge for it a regular newspaper rate. . As a faithful chroniclér of local matters the Banner will occupy, as it always has dome, a front seat.— Its recitals will bé fair, horest and just.. Our columns are open and free to everybody for the disputation of all subjects of interest to the people generally. While we shall give special prominence to local matters, due attection will be paid to news, literature, agriculture, education, Science, humor, fancy, éte. Having stated our position, weleave the public to judge of the merits of ourself and our paper. g
