Most of the epidemic diseases to which humanity is subjected, arise from an improper attention to those sanitary principles, which long experience hag taught us; are our only safeguards from infectious disorders.

OUR LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. KENDALLVILLE. ' The: error in the accounts of Mr. Lewis Iddings, while treasurer of the county, proves to be $8.400, which he admits, and the only question with him now is, whether or not he shall _pay interest.on the money. He reasons like this: That it was a mistake of the Auditor and not his own; that he paid all just claims presented to him, and honestly supposed that the balance remaining was his; and that he would not take money with the liability of paying it when called for at any rate of interest; further, the damage in having to raise his money without notice will cause a sacrifice of property. much greater than the benefits he has received from the same. On the other hand, it is the opinion of many that he should pay six per cent. interest, from the fact that he had the money and used it for his gain; that the County shouyld not lose on account of the ignorance or neglect of its officials; that Mr. Iddings had a right to take his per cent., allowed by law, and the balance §hould have remained in the county treasury. ° But whether he pays interest or not, the people may be thankful that the money fell into" hands from which it may be recovered, _ : -

Two of the Chicago thieves were, a few days since, sent over to Albion from here, to rusticate in the county jail until the next session of the court. They were blood-thirsty “scoundrels; having concealed on their persons a dirk and three revolvers, prepared, of course, to use them in case any one attempted to' defend his property against their thieving proclivities. * ~“Pole-cat Myers” undoubtedly lied about Lew. Iddings telling him that his account as Treasurer was all right. Lew. never told him anything of the kind., : i

The corner-stone of the new Methodist church in this place will be laid next Saturday, and services in commemoration of the event will be held on their grounds on Sunday. Our school will' commence on the first Monday of September next All, I think, will rejoice. Let parents and guardians have their children ready in time and see that they are kept in regular attendance during the coming school year and observe the effect. Mr. John Baughman, County: Recorder, gave our town a call last Monday. ; Ira Shattuck last Friday received five hundred and sew'enf}’-six dollars, pension money at the rate of six dollars per month from May, 1865, that being the time he received his discharge. ; P. H. Magnus has left Kendallville. It is said that three ladies perambulated Mitehell street, one night last week,with rawhides, anxious to pounce upon some defamer of their fair characters. = : '

A man of our place, who appears to be in the last stage of dissipation, but who was always kind to his family, is now deserted by them. Perhaps a kind word from that daughter as she passes by might kindle anew the spark of manhood and yet reclaim him.— Children, let come what may, never desert your father or mother. ’ . Since writing the foregoing, I earn that Mr. Iddings has settled his matters with the County Commissioners by paying $10,177, that being the full amount of the principal and interest at six per cent. on all that part which was not out-lawed. This, I think, will give entire satisfaction. . - “Pole-cat Myers” intended to wrong Lewis Iddings in his reference to him last week, as none but a fool could have meant it for a favor. His insinuations that county treasurer Lash is a defaulter, are indecent, and only serve to lower “Pole-cat” still more in the estimation of the people. JOE.

. AVILLA:. ] Railroad matters are in a state of | tranquility at present in this commu- | nity. One of the members of the 'ﬁrm.‘ of Squire & Higgins Bros. returned last week and it is the intention toeither finish the balance of the work left undone by the Swedes themselves, or else .re-let- it to. some other party. The.citizens and the contrac-: tors have arrived at ne- definite conclusion, as yet, in regard to the claims, theformer demanding pay in full and the latter refusing to pay more than 60 cents on the dollar. It is rumored that the citizens have formed a club * and intend to institute suit against the contractors for the full amount of la- | bor performed on the B, P. & C. R. R. It is also claimed that according to the laws of the State of Indiana the railtoad companys are responsible for all claims arising from actual labor performed on their roads: If this be the dase the people will certainly receive their pay in full. S In my last report I stated that work had ceased altogether on this road, in this vicinity, but this seems erroneous. There is a smiall force engaged west of town on the former Bundy contract. It is authoritatively stated that chief engineer ‘Randolpls will shortly be here to take steps toward securing the right of way from all persons of whom it has not been obtained as yet. - (

. A sad accident occurred last week in the new planery of Yeiser Bros. Mr. Ephraim Yeiser, the junior member of the firm, having been engaged in putting up the machinery and making it ready for work, started the planery when suddenly the large knife, which had not been properly fastened, flew out and struck Mr. Yeiser violently, knocking him a distance of 15 feet and. severely cutting his arm and hand, and bruising him otherwise. He is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances, but it will require several weeks before he can recover, S e About 12 o’elock last Wednesday night two men, who afterwards were discovered to be from Albion, arrived ‘here in a two-horse buggy and put up “at our hotel and went to bed. -Shortly afterwards, at about 2 o’clock, Deputy Sheriff Foster, accompanied by a - young man who claimed that some-

‘body had stolen $lOO.OO from him a::; his residente in Albion, arrived and stopped at the hotel and made inquiry about these two men, whom the young man charged with the theft, and founj them there.” Proceeding to’ the room where they slept, Deputy Sheriff Foste awakened them and examined the contents of their pocketbooks and found $15.00 there. He arrested them anyhow and took them back to Albion, but proof of their guilt not being established, the two men were set ab liberty. They are both residents of Albion, the one employed as a bricklayer and the other as-a tinner, anﬂ are said to be honest, industrious men, but unfortunately they were out on a spree that night. o A Phrenologist- has been in town for the past week. He charges adults 10 cents and children 5 cents to hear him lecture. ; I

: WAWARA, Wawaka has been closely guarded for weeks past. Thé best guard jon duty is the “big Doctor” and his (FOg Jesse. The Dr. is not only good for keeping off such as would steal, but also for keeping those awake who ﬁare on duty with him. -The cause of his good success is, his genius‘as a s’in?’ger_g and whistler. e - The burglars have made-their appearance in our village but twice; jone night they were seen by Henry Kgime and Fred. Lohrman. There Werefﬁve in number; three were seen in Mr. Hall’s oats and two at the residemje of Mr. Tibbot. No harm done that night, excepting Mr. Schwab had afew chickens stolen. The next night one was seen by Clark Vohn who saw one in his curtant bushes. = As quick as thought he got his shot-gun and revol--ver, and with fixed determination he poured'the contents of his gun |into’ the bushes. Noticing that the black object had not quit moving, he quickly fired three loads from his revdlver, and to his astonishment an old cat ran. away unhurt! e j

Last Subday night a certain ‘young man was coming home ;ibout the hour of two, and as he came along the Village out-skirts he-heard a noise in the back yard of a dwelling. ‘His first thought was burglars;—aft the same moment a frightened cow ran out of a fence corner! Brave man, where was he? Ask of the softly blowing winds, of the birds that sit in the tree. i e On Monday evening the Wawaka braves met in Zimmerman’s Hall for the purpose of organizing what the Dutchinan calls Ragelman’s Society. Tuesday morning bright and éearly a message came from the Hawpatch, asking aid from the Wawaka braves. Some were so unfortunate as 'to be called to duty before they had their breakfast; one man was seen running up street with a piece of bread in one hand and a revolver in the other; men were seen coming from all directions with shot-guns, pistols, and all serts of deadly weapons. Quickly a team was brought to convey the fortunate ones to the battle grounds, while the more unfortunate (including the man with the piece of bread) were left behind. Soon the battle ground was reached; many were killed—among which was one big, fat Blackberry which our Constable treed on a bush; Arrived in town, it was a horrible sight to behold our brave heroes with their hands and faces all staineq with whortleberry juice. L There arrived here on Tuesday evening a graduate from the Ligonier Calaboose who ‘was suspicionied as one of the burglars, was followed out of town by the detective and Othel;rs. and’ was caught in the very act of sewing up his pants. He was arrested and brought to town; he said that he was out of money and hungry, so lie was given his supper, lodging, and breakfast, and'sent away rejoicing. = ; : ' WINBUSH. ' { ELKHART TOWNSHIP, SUNNY SIDE, August 4. - As was mentioned in my last, the meeting at our school-house went off according to appointment. Elder Thomas wasg in attendance and | delivered two 'very instructive sermons.— There were but few out on Safurday, but on Sunday quite a respectable audience had congregated, and marked attention was shown while the minister discoursed ‘from: the 20th to 22d verses, inclusive, of the 23d chapter of Isaiah. We noticed our old friend, John Walker, out in his two hundred and fifty dollar carriage. John is’a good fellow and can well afford luxuries. - : t ] :

On the same Saturday evening Rev. Howe, of Wawaka, (of the Methodist denomination) also preached at the school-house. The writer did not go, not being permitted to leave home after sundown during these lexciting times. We were represented, however, by our youngsters, who reporfted quite a goodly number present. Mr. Howe left an appointment for the fourth Saturday evening of this month. We hope to be able to attend. | : ‘We are informed by W. A, Smith, of Cromwell, that Samuel Iden, of Sparta township, has been dangerously ill from sunstroke. Mr. Iden Was convélescent last Tuesday, as we learned from Dr. Tucker. oo 5 No burglars in our neighborhood yet, but we are expecting them nightly.— ‘Our “better-half” aroused us from our peaceful slumber one morning last -week, saying, “O, surely the robbers .are in the house!” In less time thau it takes to tell it we bounded out of bed, our hair standing stx;féht on end, picked up the revolver and marched toward the partition dbo?‘tdegerminéd to defend ‘our household if we lost our life in the attempt; when,.lo and behold! out jumped Mrh.enébbbﬁr from

' . | CROMWELL, - There sééms t 6 be some trouble here ‘Wwith our railroad men, and a good deal of dissatisfaction manifested among hamds, who are laboring for wageseand can’t get their pay. On the first estimate, in June, the pay ecame round all right, but in July, Wwhen the estimate was made, one of the sub-contractors got no pay, which will probably cause some disturbance among the hands. How 'the matter will be determined I am unable to say. Last Saturday night our beautifed little village was thrown into commotion by the appearance of a young ‘gentleman from Perry’s prairie.. He was immediately attacked by one of our Young Americas, who, it seems, had been assaulted some time previous by the former in ligonier, but the first gentleman in question feigned hors de combat, having indulged too freely in paregoric stimulants, or essence of corn juice, which put a quietus to the affair and summarily closed the tragic scene of a premeditated outrage. : One of our: Swedish friends under the supervision of Mr. White, who is working on the railroad near this place, got into a fracas with some of the hands and bumped them like sin. Alcohol was the incentive.. }

Mr. Samuel Iden, near Indian Village, is dangerously ill' of typhoid fever. But little hopes are entertained for his recovery. - The farmers in this vicinity are busily engaged - threshing their grain, which gives them a good yleld. | The corn prospects are very good for at least an average crop. - No burglars have as yet made their appearance in this part of the country. So far as I can learn the people are pretty generally on the look-out for all such scalawags who may be prowling around the country. - D.

i . PERRY’S PRAIRIE. | ~ EpITorR BANNER:—There has been ‘quite an excitement créated throughout the Hawpatch by a gang of burglars, but there had not been much excitement on the Prairie until on the evening of the 29th. ult, when two Tair damsels, living not many miles west from Ligonier,” thought they would have some sport among themselves. They attempted to frighten Mr. Shelt Cole and wife by dressing in men’s clothes and donning whiskers procured from a ‘horse’s tail. Thus provided, they started for the residence of Mr. Cole, and upon their arrival, in order to attract the attention' of Mrs. Cole, they made a strange noise. The woman bacame alarmed and at once informed her worthy spouse of their presence. Mr. Cole then began to ‘question thiem concerning their whereabouts, but could get no satisfaction; he inviteq the strangersinto the house, but they refused his hospitality. By this time Mr. C. also became suspicious -of these strange characters and, fearing they were after no good, returned into the house and set'to work to secure the doors and windows, “so dey would stdeal noddings away,” meanwhile the supposed burglars beat a hasty retreat to the woods. Mus. Cole, thinking it would not be safe to remain there over night, persuaded her husband to abandon the place and seek shelter in a neighbor’s house until the next morning, when the mystery: was unraveled by a revelation of the facts in ‘accordance with the above statement. Girls, look out that the old horse do n’t kick you the next time you pull hisitail. « « | GHOST.
