Groh, we were permitted, last Saturday, to take a close view of his new and elegant residence at Kendallville. The structure is at once inviting and the surroundings grand and beautiful. The interior is arranged with special referénce to comfort and convenience, reflecting great credit upon the architectural genius of the owner, who thus furnishes proof that he not only understands how to “run a grocery,” but that he is equally successful as the builder of an elegant mansion. The brick work was done by B. F. Pepple and the painting by Wm. Cole. . : |

—Truthful is the remark of a contemporary that the county paper has converted thousands of youths into readers, writers and thinkers, who would have been utterly indifferent to literature if they had not had a chance to appear in print on some local subject in their boyhood and girlhood years. A town without it is a’ nonéntity, it is a sleepy hollow without apoet to usher it into fame. As soon as a village becomes ambitious to get its share of immigration, and to secure its citizens their share of political influence,.a paper has become a necessity, and a good paper has frequently brought insignificant villages to the mention of the entire country. —ITow to cure dogs of°killing sheep is of interest to every farmer in the land. An infallible remedy has just come to light and is thus heralded by the author: “If you have a'good dog that Kills or runs sheep, and d(_)n’t' want to shoot him, build a pen sixteen feet square, and run a pole across the top and pick the largest and oldest buck of the flock, put him in the pen, get your dog with a collar around his neck, and rope to draw up over the middle of the pole, so that the dog will have his four feet swinging off the ‘ground a few inches. Get out of the pen and let the buck give him several .good butts, and then turn him loose. "This is a sure cure, I tried it on my father’s dogs wlhen I was aboy; never knew them to even cross a field where the sheep were grazing. Try it.” i —_———— - All the delicacies of the.séason at Gates & Laubscher’s, north of Kime’s. s Fire and Murder at South Bend. - Mr. D. T. Ulmer writes us that on yesterday forenoon a two-story boarding house adjoining Studebaker’s carriage shops on the south was burned to the ground. Furniture and other household goods were badly damaged. Mr, Ulmer adds that without Studebaker’s engine their shops would have been laid in ashes—the destroyed boarding house having been situated just across the alley. v . The same gentleman states that during a drunken row on Tuesday night a man whose name is not given “was brutally murdered. -No arrests ‘have as yet been made, although the isheriff has started in pursuit of the murderer.

This should not be. The real interests of the town and country are. either identical or reciprocal. Whatever enhances the welfare of one should and does enhance the value of the other. When the farmer prospers he ‘is enabled to purchase more largely of the merchant and manufacturer ; When the mercantile interests prosper, they give employment to a larger number of consumers for the farmers’ produce, and consequently insure’ to him increased prices and readier sales.

It will be wise and considerate to feed with a small bundle of wet ‘hay, or a couple of quarts of oats in the middle of the day; to furnish a little drinking water as often as practicable, when not overheated, and to throw water upon such parts as are liable to chafe from perspiration or otherwise.. They should be driven slowly, and the loads should be considerably less than that imposed in cool weather. Loosen the checkrein, or dispense with it altogether, and cover the animal with afly-net, or preferably with a light. sheet.

.- Burglarious Operations. . During the past eight or ten days conflicting reports of numerous burglaries in the Hawpatch have been in circulation, creating quite a commotion among the peace-loving denizens of this community. These reports—together with the fact thatan attempt to burglarize the jewelry. establishment of Higginbotham & Son was recently made in this place, that the residence of Dr. Crum was entered and robbed of a small amount of money and some jewelry, and that the resiidence of Chas. G. Vail was visited for alike purpose (but unavailingly) a few nights since—gave support to the. belief that an organized band of robbersiwere plying their vocation in this neighborhood. L ‘We have endeavored to obtain rey liable accounts of the burglaries committed in the Hawpatclh, but all our efforts seemed to be in vain until our friend, Jesse B. Smith, of Elkhart township, favored us with the followIng statement, which may doubtless be relied upon as being authentic: Last week the houses of F. M. Stage and Jacob Stage were entered, and a few articles stolen therefrom.. On another night of the same week, the residence of Father Nelson was likewise entered. It appears that his wife was sleeping alone in one of the apartments ‘and was suddenly awakened by the ‘presence of a burglar. Frightened at ‘the sight of this midnight visitor, she jumped from her bed and hastily left ‘ the room—the burglar, in the mean time, having sneaked away. The old lady started.for the residence of her son, but had advanced only a few rods when she was met by the same villain, who seized her, threw her upon the ground, choked and otherwise ill-treat-ed her, and finally committed a heinous crime. upon the body of the helpless old lady, who is 65 or 70 years of age. After he had satisfied his beastly lust, Mrs. Nelson begged permission to go her way, but the fiend took her by the arm and led her to her own residence and ushered her into the house. - Nothing further was heard of the marauders nutil Friday night, when the residence of John A. Smith, in Elkhart township, was entered through a window in the rear. The room was occupied by widow Holmes, who, being awakened by an unusual noise, saw standing before her bed a man with masked face and both arms rais- | ed as if ready to strike a blow. She sounded an alarm and soon roused Mr. Smith and his wife, which prompted the villian to beat a hasty retreat from the same window through which he had entered. The dinner bell was vigorously rung so as to attract the attention of the tenants who live directly across the road. Two young men at once came to the rescue, duly armedwith revolvers, but nothing could be séen or heard of the burglars. Impressed with the belief that the villain would return, one of the young men and a hired “hand” concluded to occu~ py the bed vacated by Mrs. Holmes, and in a short time the villain put in a second appearance. 'One of the tenants, Mr. John Bell, was on the alert and instantly fired five shots at the in—truder, but unfortunately none of the cartridges lodged where Mr. Bell intended they should, and the would-be-robber again succeeded in making his escape. ‘ ‘

‘Saturday night the residence of Mr. Alva Burnett was vigited, but nothing abstracted. A more successful raid was then made upon a near neighbor, who was robbed of a watch and a pair of boots. =~ Mol

~ Exasperated by these persistent attempts at burglary and the outrage committed.on an aged lady, the people of that neighborhood last Sunday turned out en masse, to make a thorough search for the daring rascals. The woods and swamps were scoured in every direction, but at the close of our informant’s report, no clue was had of the marauders., .

LATER.—Two suspicious looking individaals were arrested on Tuesday.— They were well armed with revolvers and bowie knives, but made no hostile demonstrations when surrounded by the pursuing party and commanded to surrender. They were taken to the LaGrange jail (so our infermation goes) to await trial. Threats of hanging the fellows were freely uttered, but wiser counsels prevailed. , A 'young% fellow giving his name as John Conners was arrested here Tuesday evening by Marshal Braden. He had attempted to sell some worthless finger rings at exorbitant prices, and ‘was suspected of belonging to a gang of desperadoes. lis statements were of a very contradictqry, character, but in thetabsence of positive proof, he was permitted to go at large.

The Buchanan Record has a welltimed article on the payment of postage on county newspapers, and calls upon the people to stand firmly by their county papers in this fight made against them by Congressmen, and instead of stopping their papers rather than pay the postage, say “we will pay double that amount of postage and take an extra copy besides, but woe be to that Congressman when we come to the polls who will not promptly on the meeting of the next Congress hasten to repeal these obnoxious provisions, so greatly affecting the interests of the people.” The Record concludes “the day of triumph is not far distant, provided the people compreliend aright the situation, and we have strong faith that they see through the intent of this little piece of postage oppression on county papers and their exchanges, and will brand it with the seal of condemnation.” coivl

The South Bend Union will soon commence the publication of a German paper, The Indiana Courier, under the editorial management of Hon. John B. Stoll, editor of the Ligonier BANNER. The Union evinces a progressive spirit. Success to the Union and its twin brother, “Der Indiana Courier.”—Kokomo Democrat.

The Cincinnati Enguirer protests vigorously against its party dropping the name.of Democratic whatever else it may do. It thinks that if the name were discarded it would be immediately snapped up by some other organization, and that the Republican party would change for it and give a large amount of “boot.” ’ e

OUR LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. Our officers of the law have been very busy for a week or two in bringing scoundrels to justice. The first case of any magnitude was the prosecution .and conviction of Pole-cat Myers. The next case was that of the State vs. Bennett, in which the defendant was charged with an assault upon the person of his own father-in-law, a man over eighty years of age. Bennett was convicted upon the evidence of the old gentleman, the cost and fine amounting to over $l6. The old man “very magnanimously loaned the undutiful son-in-law the money wherewith to liquidate the obligation,and all par- | ties, apparently, went home well satisfied with the result. The other cases ;seemed to be Ligonier against the city of Kendallville, wherein the latter was cleaned out, of $45, but had the satisfaction of imprisoning one of her opponent’s citizens in the county jail. It seems that Charley Dewitt and “Cooney,” accompanied by a woman, the wife of Dewitt (as he claimed), left Ligonier a few days 'ago, intent on finding somefellow,who had money, that they could “clean out.” : Stopping at this place, they soon ran against Joe Hastings, one of our citizens who, when a little “full,” don’t believe any one can beat him playing poker. After a few small games with the dice- | ' box at one of our saloons, and a drink after each “shake,” they adjourned to ‘Joe’s shop, where they soon succeeded in relieving our champion of s4s.—' Hastings filed his complaint before Judge Wildman and Dewitt .was arrested for gambling. - Hastings swore that they played cards and beat him by dealing to him four kings and to themselves a like number of aces, and that they swept off the board $45 of his money. “Cooney” was placed upon the witness stand and swore that they did not play cards at all, that they were down at Hastings’ shop trying to buy a buggy. Judge Wildman concluded there was not much evidence in “Cooney’s” testimony, and bound Dewitt over in the sum of two hundred dollars for his appearance at the next term of court, 'but failing to give bail, he was then sent to jail. A complaint was filed against “Cooney” and he was arrested on charge of drunkenness, for which, after a little rustication in the city calaboose, he was relieved of $9.40 and kindly permitted to go on his way rejoicing— While his case was pending, some one remarked to “Cooney” that Hastings would play him for five dollars a game, to which the former replied: “By G—d I’d play him if he would n’t squeal!” “Cooney” left for home, on the next morning train, a wiser, if not a better, man. .

Judging from the Standard of last week, ’Squire Barney must have got very “congenial” with “Pole-cat” Myers.’ - i “Pole-cat” Myers is making a huge effort to get up a little feud between some of our Democrats in this county. Misery likes company, you know. | If Lew Iddings will put in twentytwo feet of sidewalk in front of his lot, we shall then have a continuous walk from the" corner of Mitchell street to the burnt district on the east side of Main street. Everybody thinks Lew will do it. ' . ‘ One firm has sold Organs to the amount of seven thousand dollars in and about this placé, during the past two months. Of the sales only two hundred dollars were paid in cash, the ‘balance was all notes. l The examination for State School Certificates was held here- last week. It was conducted by Mr. Youngblood, of Kokomo, who is a son-in-law of the Hon. M. B. Hopkins, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The applicants for, examination were Messrs. Bachelder, Crane, and Thomas. Miss-Bella Hyatt was: examined for the second grade. - , It is really amusing to watch the manceuvers of a certain good-looking lady living in this place. Take into consideration the facts that she dresses well and is handsome, I think that something funny will grow out of it. It is proposed that every person who violates the law by getting drunk in this place shall be arrested and fined. So you, who propose to get -drunk in this town, had better come prepared ‘to pay a fine, for you will “stand committed” until the same is paid. ©~ ' 0. D. Willet has purchased a new set of harness for his high-headed Browns. They look gay. ' “Reformer” has made po one but “Pole-cat” Myers believe that he is a Democrat, and further, “Reformer” is not deceiving me with regard to who he is. ge = _ . Jor |

SALEM CHAPEL. Wheat harvest is over, and the crop is a medium one. ' The Marsh Harvester is undoubtedly the best and most economical reaper in existence. With a good team and a skillful driver, and with the assistance of two champion binders; it will cut from ten to fourteen acres in good order. - Potato bugs are still rampant in this section. - ' Corn looks well; thanks to the rains during the past few weeks. 2 The Hawpatch orClark street “Observer” has observed, and by observing has discovered, wonderful things, to wit: A Hawpatch post-office, two new' grocery stores, where, “pesure,” the people can get “anyding vat you vant,” or anything else in their line of business. Of course the Railroad comes next, and will undoubtedly receive its share of public patronage. He seems, also, to have been amused by the sayings of “Rich Merchrnt.” This term is promiscuous and does not properly belong to me, but as it was applied to me by a noted character, I now use it merely to commemorate an incident that occurred last winter. And I claim entire exemption from being numbered with those rich ones who ean, for a pinch, crawl through the eye of a needle, and who will, according to promise, receive their reward on the banks of destruction, as per “Observer,” with the filthy and poluted tobaceo mongers

of the present generation. Gen. Grant is a noted smoker. It is true, he has smoked the Rebels out of their forts, and finally smoked himself into the Presidency; and the smoke of his famous cigar has so blunted the moral sensibilities of himself and his friends that their salaries had to be raised to a prodigious height to defray the expenses of their prodigious enterprises. And still he smokes. The smoke of their torment will surely come. They shall have what they like. ) . - RicH MERCHANT.

Pror. PLANTA‘MQUR, who prophesied that the world was to be burned up a few months ago, is now in Paris. He desired to read a paper before the Academy that we shall all be frozen to death about 2011. It is gratifying to know that if the Professor’s theory be true, it cannot possibly interfere with the Jarge and constantly increasing business of Wm. Groh, the popular grocer on Main street, Kendallville.
