—A State convention of County School Superintendents will be held -at Indianapolis on the 22d. A session of several days is anticipated. —That farmer was a wise man who said: “If you want your boy to stay at home don’t bear too hard on the grindstone when he turns the crank.” —lt takes Marshal Braden to “take the wind” out of inflated chaps who aim to dodge their poll-tax.

The paper will be published by Messrs. Fassett & Brownfield, and edited by J. B. Stoll; with Mr. G. Fikentscher as local. The first number is to be issued in the month of August. ‘ —The block work on the foundation for the editor’s new residence, now in process of erection, is universally admired, and pronounced superior to ranything of the kind in town. The work was done by Billy Buchanan and Gus Bandelier, whom we rean cheerfully recommend as first-¢lass stone masons. o

—An exchange has been informed, by those who have been practicing it, that cholera, cholera morbus, and like diseases, may be in a measure prevented by wearing a bandage of flannel cloth, three or four inches in width, around the abdomen, next to the skin.

—The Louisville Lottery panned out well for the halders of tickets in this place. A club of ten, gotten up by L. T. Fisher, drew $5BO, and Mr, Fisher had the good luck of drawing $330 on five tickets held by himself. We congratulate “all concerned” on their good luck. :

—Two young men from York township last Saturday evening assaulted Samson Ackerman for his refusal to give them beer without pay. They were arrested on Monday and fined, respectively, one and three dollars and costs: The conduct of these young men cannot be too severely condemned. —Some idea of the variety and extent of’the work required of County Clerk Williams may be formed when it is known that there are ninety-four different kinds of blanks used in his office. Of these, 25 are used in civil court cases, 11 in criminal court, 24 in probate, and 34 for miscellaneous purposes. 2 L

—The friends of Rev. J. H. Hutchison, now a resident of Elkhart, will be ,pleaszed to learn that he received; last week, a letter from his son, A. I Hutchison, whom he had not heard from for seven years. The young man was supposed to bé dead, and the joy of.his parents at. hearing from him again can be better imagined than described, * ' . : "~—The result of a protracted failure to subscribe for a good local paper, is vividly set forth by the Decatur Eagle: “We understand several parties in the south part of the county have been taken in- by that class of men who get farmers to sign a contract appointing them agents,. which can be torn in two, when the half with the signature becomes a negotiable promisory note.” .

—A letter addressed, “Mrs. Kester, Bryan, Ohio,” mailed at Ligonier, Apr. 14th, and sent by the former to the dead letter office, has been returned to be delivered to the writer. Said letter contains a $5 Nat. Bank Note, but no name is signed to the letter to designate by whom it was sent. Such letters are held 30 days for delivery to the writer, then, if not called for, returned to the dead letter office.

- —We find this paragraph in a number of our exchages: The suggestion that farmers have their names painted on the gates at the entrance to their premises is gradually attracting more attention. ' The difficulty in finding the residences of persons in the country would be entirely obviated by such a course. The name may be neatly painted on a slip of tin six or eight inches wide, which could be easily tacked on the gate. . —Our well-informed contemporary of the Crawfordsville Journal says:— “Five pounds of ice put into a bucket with a gallon of water, and set into a covered box or closet, will give you ice water from 8 A. M., until 9 p. M.— Keep adding water to the ice as the occasion may require, but do not have over half a gallon at a time in the bucket. Five pounds of ice in a bucket full of water will melt in three hours, but in half a gallon or less of water it will last from nine to ten hours. Try it, you who want ice water these hot days.” - : —We are pleased to learn that the second term of the Ligonier Academy of Music commenced with a largely increased number of pupils, and that the laudable effort of Prof. Hughes to -establish a conservatory of music in our midst, is now an assured success. The assistant teachers of the former term, Miss Miller and Mrs. McLean, are retained. They are deservedly popular among the pupils, and being aceomplished musicians, we have no hesitancy in recommending parents to send their children to Prof. Hughes’ Academy of Music, ;

- —The dirty scalawag of the Kendallville Standard avers that General Hascall squandered certain sums of money in this county in 1870. . For once, Pole-cat Myers stumbled upon a fact. The General did, indeed, so squander certain sums of money, and it happened in this wise: = After numerous visits to Goshen, the notorious dead-beat, C.O.Myers, succeeded in fleecing the General out of $5O for his “yaluable services” in traveling around the country on a political mission. It was a bad investment, of course, for wherever the miserable skunk put in an appearance the Republicans instinctively turned their heads in an opposite direction. Repudiated by the party, the infamous scoundrel turned his back upon the man whom he had “scooped” out of $5O, and then managed to sell himself for $6OO to support the very man (Billy Williams) whom he had previously denounced in the vilest terms. :

OUR LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. KENDALLVILLE. A young man, about twenty-two years old, by the name of Quinn, was killed at Corunna last Friday morning, by being struck by an engine. It seems that he, in company with a friend, attempted to run across the track in front of the engine. His friend succeeded in getting across, but he was struck by the engine and lived only a few hours. The only intelligible words uttered by him after the accident were addressed to his friend, requesting that he should stand by him. He had been working at Auburn and was on his way home, near Stryker, where lives his widowed mother. My informant tells me the man had been drinking some, but at the time of the fatal accident was not considered much under the influence of liquor.

Our saloons were all closed on the Fourth except Sprandel’s andKratzer’s. ‘They.claimed they were selling under the old law, and had a right to sell on that'day. Ido not know whether they“¥#ll be prosecuted or not, but it was the opinion of some of our attorneys that they had all better close for safety. The receipts of those places were very large. : “Pole-cat!”—A mnew name for C. O. Myers, which was applied to him by V. C. Mains, Esq., during the late prosecution against him. It really conveys a true idea of the man—a detestable, loathesome creature. G The Fourth was a very wet day—both externally and internally. It seems that a proper celebration of that day, with many, consists in getting beastly drunk. This idea prevails largely with many would-be-young-men in this vicinity. ; The room of P. H. Magnus, at the Kelly House, was entered, ont he 4th inst.,, and valuables to the amount of $4O were taken. ,Two girls from a distance are suspected as the perpetrators of the burglary. i

. The old building just south of tp€ Scheefer block has been moved hffck and raised up to a level with the #ther buildings on Main street. Thid is a great improvement for which %puch credit is due H. W, Scheefer and one or two others, whose exertions brought about this result. ! Notwithstanding the rain, an oration was delivered in the grove on Independence Day, by Mr. Glasgow, Esq., of Lagrange, which was highly spoken of by all who heard it. : ‘The Albion band was paid $B5 for their services at this place on the 4th. Many think it was a Zittle too high. ‘Wm. M. Barney, of Elkhart, visited this place on the Fourth. The “Squire” is the same congenial fellow as-of old. ~ Ligonier was fairly ' represented here on the 4th, and also on the sth. The “sheep stealing case” came onfor trial last Monday. Myers appeared in his own- behalf (being too stingy, as the prosecutor said, to employ an attorney). The evidence was conclusive that the prisoner had violated the law, and Mains; the prosecutor, spoke in reference to the degree of. punishment. He cited the previous bad conduct of the accused, both in this State and in Towa, and said there were no circumstances which should mitigate the punishment. Myers’ remarks in his own defense consisted in vulgarity and obscenity, which completely disgusted everybody but the magistrate, and I'am not sure but it did him; yet he permitted it. The fine and costs in the case amounted to something over $l3, and I have not learned whether Myers intends to pay it or board it out in the county jail. = I think, however, he will board it out. :

After attorneys Mains and “Polecat” had blackguarded each other outrageously, they went into a saloon and took two drinks apiece together. Harvest hands seem to be very scarce in this vicinity. -~ : The singing at the firemen’s festival, by the German choir of this place, was good. - -Wehmeyer was arrested the other day for putting a man out of his saloon, but was acquitted without fine.

Elkhart Township Teachers Institute. : The second meeting of the Teachers Institute was held in Wawaka, Elkhart township, June 28th. The teachers now engaged in teaching in the township were not all present, but their places were filled by others older and more experienced, and, though not engaged in the work at present, were willing to take part in the exercises, thus aiding and encouraging those just commencing their life work. The experience of some in the art of teaching the “young idea how to shodt,” was both amusing and instructive. It was encouraging to know that if they had passed through trials and were victorious, young teachers might do the same. Quite a number of citizens were out, thus showing by their presence the interest taken by them in -education and its advancement. - The programme as arranged at the first meeting was fulfilled, with one or two exceptions The committee appointed arrang the following programme for the thi mee ting, to be held at Wawaka, Jul ‘lzﬂi[ Exercises to commence at 9:30 9:80 to 10.—Opening exercises, to consist of remarks, reading of the minutes of the previous meeting and their adoption, also reading of the programme, calling the roll, &ec. 10 to 10:16.—Essay, Miss Retta Gerver; subject, Illustrative Teaching, 10:15 to 10:45.—Reading, Jesse B.

r OUR NEIGHBORS. Warner’s show is to delight the Goshenites next Monday. - = . Goshen did not celebrate the Fourth, and the Elkhart celebration fizzled. = Geéo. D. Copeland, late Internal Revenue Assessor, has concluded to make California his future place of residence. The C.; W. & M. Railroad brings daily several car-loads of coal for the Lake Shore Road, and has already brought sixty cars of stone for the Elkhart paper mills.~ When the road lis extended further south, coal will doubtless form an important item in its freight shipments. - The Steuben county Republican says: Several of our exchanges are “bragging” that their counties are out of debt. Steuben county has been out of debt for the last five years, and keeps money enough in the' treasury to pay : current expenses, and this year it has levied twenty cents on each hundred dollars’ valuation. : i The Elkhart Union gives the particulars of a fiendish outrage perpetrated on Tuesday night of last week, upon the property of a man named William Cook, living some three or four miles south of Mishawaka. 'On Monday night an attempt was made to burn his barn by piling some hay up against it and setting fire to the same; but the hay was damp{l and the fire discovered in time to extinguish the flames before any damage W§S done. On the next night a span of horses, valued at $5OO, were killed in the barn—doubtless by the same fiend incarndte who attempted the former outrage—both having been stabbed to the heart. Who tlhie hell-hound is, or' why the deed was done, no one knows. If detected, the worse than brute or devil should be hung to the first convenient limb, without judge, jury, or the benefit of a elergy. = = (

/- Which is Best?

Y, we search in vain for a Shuttle .machine, - No better illustration~of the efficiency and popularity of the Wheeler and Wilson machine is needed. The proprietors of these establishments are men of large experienee with sewing machines, and the paréiality maintained for the Wheeler and- Wilson proves conclusively that it stands without a rival. m No woman should wear her life out, running a heavy, noisy Skwitle machine, while the “New” Wheeler and Wilson is obtainable.’ -— - The machines can be~seen, and orders left, at Higginhotham & Son’s Jewelry Store.

—Pale-cat Myers, in hia ieeno of this week, dishes up a dozen or more lies in regard to the editor of this paper. To be specifié®Pwe declare upon our individual responsibility that every sentence, line, word or syllable contained in his several accusations are base and dastardly falsehoods, known to be such to the public generally and to none better than the vile, loathsome wretch. from whom they emanate. Were it possible to attach credence to anything emanating from that vile prostitute in politics, despised sneak in society, thief and- swindler in the affairs of business, pirate in journalism; perjured villain, and horse-whipped scoundrel, we might furnish detailed refutations of his_accusations; but a creature so low, a'.common liar 80 universally despised, deserves no such consideration.

THERE is scarcely any disease in which purgative medicines are not more or less required, and much sickness and suffering might be prevented were they more generally used. No person can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails; besides,itsoon generates serious and often fatal diseases which might have been avoided by a timely and judicious use of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets, or Tasteless, Coated, Concentrated Root and Herbal Juice, Anti-Bilious Granules.
