—We have no hesitancy in saying that Lewis Iddings ought to pay full Tate of interest on the county funds that he used for purposes of specula.tion, shaving notes, &c., regardless of ‘his settlement with the county commissioners, who did the best they could under the circumstances. :

—Harvey Wood, of Lima, who is well known in this -community, was last Wednesday. fined $5 and costs by Justice Hoff, of Lagrange. The Independent says this makes fine No. 8 for this man within a few weeks. In response to a question put to him by the Prosecuting Attorney, he said that 'he had “gold whisky ever since he was 'born, and that he should sell it till he «lied,” and said that the fines were «coming in a little too thick. This ‘makes a little over two hundred dollars Harvey has contributed to the :School Fund. - :

—A rather serious accident occurred yesterday a little distance south of town, the particulars of which are :about as follows: Mr. Theron Teal and wife had been in town and were returning home when, near the farm of Jonathan Simmons, the team start--ed to run. Mr. Teal drew on the reins to check them, but one of the bridlebits giving way at this instant, the ‘team became tunmanagable. The buggy was upset, throwing Mr. and Mrs. Teal both out, the latter striking with her head against the fence and the vehicle falling over her. The team, after dragging the driver a short distance, escaped and was caught by some man eoming to town. Mrs. Teal was taken to the residence of her brother, near by, and a physician called. ' She received several severe bruises about the head and face besides other bodily injuries, but it is thought no bones are broken. Mr. Teal’s injuries were not so severe, though he, too, received painful bruises. e

Freaks of a Woman of Unsound Mind. On the 27th of July a woman named Martha DePew escaped from:the Noble county Asylum. According to an advertisement issued by Superintendent Dice, she “is thirty-four years of “age, a little above medium height, “dark hair and eyes, and not of sound “mind. Had on a purple-flowered cal“ico dress—no bonnet.” This woman was seen on the Fort Wayne-Goshen road, and created quite a consternation among the frightened people of that locality. Of her curious little freaks while roaming about the country the:Benton correspondent of the Goshen T'tmes furnishes the following particulars: ) /

A few nights since an individual who resides but a short distance from Benton—in the suburbs in fact—was aroused from his peaceful slumbers by some one demanding entrance to his dwelling. Our friend was not disposed to accede to this demand without knowing who his nocturnal visitor might be, and with this object in view, exclaimed, “Who“s thére ?” e

“Jesus Christ,” was the reply, in a strange and unnatural voice. . . Being of an irreverent turn of mind, our friend began to tremble in his boots, as he evidently imagined that ‘he was about to be called to judgment. Further reflection having convinced him, however, that the Savior of the world, at his second coming, would not make his first appearance to him, and he closed, not only his doors, but hjis heart and ears to the appeals of his visitor. ~An Irish family, a short distance beyond, were more impressed with -the appeals of the midnight wanderer, and when admitted it was discovered that the wanderer was dressed in the garb of a woman, and acted in a strange and unnatural manner. . She immediately took formal possession of the “shanty,” and no persuasions of the occupants could induce her to leave. For a few days she held undisputed possession, and, in the mean time, rumors were rife in the village that the supposed woman was, in reality, a man in disguise, and probably:gne of the band of outlaws who have'been operating in Noble and Lagrange counties. The whole mystery was finally cleared 'up by the appearance of the Superintendent of the Noble County -Asylum for the Poor, who claimed -her as a lunatic who had recently escaped from that institution. Quiet ‘is again restored, and “peace reigns in Warsaw.” -

- JUDGE HARRISON WooDp has sold his residence near town, with ten acres of ground, to Mr. G. W. Woodworth, of near Cleveland, Ohio, for the sum of s7,ooo—possession to be given on the first of next May. Mr. Woodworth has been traveling over considerable territory to select a home, but says he could nowhere find a place that presented so many attractive features as the one he has just selected for his future home. = He speaks in glowing terms of his purchase, and well he may, as there are but few homesteads more beautifully situated than that of Judge Wood. Mr. Woodworth was formerly engaged in the cultivation of grape near Lake Erie, and having acquired a handsome competence, sought the inviting country of this latitude to pass the remainder of his years.. 'We extend to him a cordial welcome.

Ir ToHE averment of the editor of that sprightly sheet, the Martinsville Gazette, may be believed, there is a man down there whose acquaintance we are particularly aﬁsgious to form. The doings ef that useful member of society referred to are thus noted by the Gazetté: “A friend of ours, of an enquiring turn of mind, who has been experimenting in labor-saving machinery for years says that he has, at last, -a washing machine, a sewing machine and an improved churn, all in one combination. Ie says he has reached the summit of his ambition, and hopes to live to'a green old age, if the gods and his mother-in-law are propritious. He has no territory to sell; much less individual rights. lappy man!”

CoNSUMERS of coal oil will be interested in knowing that on last Tuesday considerable excitement was created among the petrolium-dealers of New York by the heavy decline in prices of crude and refined oil -in face of the fact that shipments from that :city this year, up to the 9th instant, had reached the unusual amount of 78,000,000 gallons. The chief cause of the decline is said to be thé increase in the supply resulting from the discovery of eight new wells in Pennsylvania, which are yielding five hundred barrels per day. , .

Tue Kendallville Standard. insists that the Democratic members of congress, were, numbers considered, more deeply implicated in the back pay and salary grab business, than the Republicans. This, we judge, is perfectly true.” But we are puzzled to know why the Standard should care to make this point at all. It enjoys the “bad eminence” of being about the only paper in Indiana which openly defends the “grab” and “steal,” and if the thing was right, why should a Republican journal take pains to show that more Democrats (in proportion) than Republicans voted for it ?—Laporte Herald, g

TuE Democr#bs of Maine and Maryland held State conventions last Tuesday.. At Portland, Joseph Titcomb was nominated for Governor, and the resolutions of the Ohio Democrats were unanimously ‘adopted as the platform of the Democracy of Maine. The Baltimore convention was of less importance, as its only business was the nomination of Comptroller of the Currency and of Clerk of the Court of Appeals. Resolutions were adopted of the usual tenor.

THE LADY'S FRIEND.—The August number of this Magazine announces that its subscription list has been sold to Messrs. T. 8. Arthur & Son, who design incorporating it with that of their popular Home Magazine.— The subscribers of the Lady’s Friend, therefore, ' will receive hereafter Arthur’s Illustrated Home Magazine in its place. The serial storiés now running in the Lady’s Friend, will be continued and concluded in the Home Magazine.

A MASSACHUSETTS PAPER having proclaimed that the people of the State are not prostrate at the feet of Gen. Butler, the Louisville Courier-Journal remarks: “If his feet are half as dirty as his hﬁ‘nd& it is lucky for her thatshetan’t”. . . e

OUR LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE . KENDALLVILLE. - Prosecutor McConnell, of Angola, was here on show day in. pursuit of the perpetrator of an assault. On the evening previous, before Forepaugh’s show left Angola to come to this place, the proprietor of the candy and drink department inflicted a severe wound upon the head of an employe. The fellow, evidently anticipating trouble, could not be found. . : Johny Eichart, who has been so long the friend and keeper of horses in the livery stables of this city, a few days since:received a severe injury from a kick in the face, causing him to reflect that a horse may have some bad.-as well as many good qualities. . ‘We expect to have a -large wagon manufacturing establishment started here soon, one that will furnish employment to forty or fifty hands from the commencement of its operation. Arrangements are being made also to engage in the manufacture of coffins, ‘which will give employment to fifty more.. If this city could donate the $21,000 voted to the Canada Southern Railroad to such enterprises, we should not long hear our citizens complaining that the place is dead. = . The Rev. Burgess, of Chicago, is a strong doctrinal preacher. His meetings were largely attended, and all expressed themselves well pleased with the man’s ability. ' |

Ungloubtedly a large. number of teachers will be in attendance at the Teachers’ Institute 'which will be held here during the last week of the present month. I have had the pleasure of attending some of these institutes, and think they are very beneficial. Our Disciple friends last Sabbath raised $l,OBO to liquidate the debt incurred in repairing their house. The amount raised was quite a surprise, and highly gratifying to the members of that congregation. Their house is a credit to our young city. Billy Randall, who a few years since was the fortunate owner of six hundred acres of good land but lost it all through his kindness in conferring favors upon persons. who had not manhood and honesty enough to pay their own debts, was in town last week.

* The late decision of our Mayor in the polf-tax suit will have the effect of making it more difficult than ever to collect that kind of tax in our community. - : The corner-stone of the new Methodist church in this place was laid last Sunday and the work will now go forward rapidly. Quite a large number of Ligonier people were present at the dedication of the new Disciple church last Sabbath. ’ . Those who read the Kendallville Standard of last week will notice that Pole-cat Myers “squealed.” Not wishing to follow up any farther the advantdge gained over the poor creature, and beiieving that my time as a correspondent can be spent to better advantage to myself and others, I therefore desist. My object in thus continuing this matter was to so fasten the name of Pole-cat upon this fellow that he never could shirk it. The name is so applicable that I'could not do less, and if he continues to throw upon this community the stinking fluid of which he is possessed I. shall have to denounce and expose him. : One gentleman remarked to me that Pole-cat Myers, true to his instinets, attempted to deceive the people in regard to Lew. Iddings’ treasury accounts (unsolicited by him, too,) as he did in regard to the six hundred dollars which he received. .

If any one wishes to kmow what Curley High is about, let him consult the local columns of the Standard. Kendallville will expend within the present year nearly $25,000 for the repair and building of its churches. Mr. G. Shine’s dreams were interrupted by robbers last Monday night. One of them arose from the bed which Mr. Shine had given him and attempted to effect an entrance, to the latter’s bed room, but the noise aroused the sleeper, and if the gun had not missed fire the thief would, in all human probability, have carried a quantity of léad away with him, or, as Mr. Shine thinks, slept for the balance of the night on the cold, cold ground. Eli Weston, now of the city of New York, is visiting his friends in this place. - , L Herb. Fassett, of the South Bend Union, gave us a call last week. He was a guest at the Thompson-Bates wedding and seemed to be considerably agitated over the affair, from the fact, I think, that it makes just one less. : : Jox.

ELKHART TOWNSHIP. SUNNY SIDE, August 11. FRIEND STOLL:—Having just returned from one of the Hardest day’s work we have done this summer (cutting oats), I concluded while resting to employ the leisure in penning a few locals, although they are getting somewhat scarce in these parts. -

George 'Stockperger has' sold his twenty-acre farm to Isaac . Smith, of this neighborhood. Consideration, fifteen hundred dollars. We are inclined to think Uncle Isaac “means business.” Mr. Stockberger has not yet decided where he will go, but rather thinks Elkhart county will be his future abiding place. George has been a kind neighbor and a good citizen, and we wish him success in his new field of labor, wherever that may he, i .

Uncle Dan. Billman has béen, and is now, very sick, and what the matter is, is a question that puzzles our physicians. He has wasted away to a mere skeleton. Very little hope is entertained of his recovery. o - As we stated a few weeks ago, next Friday the Baptist Association will commence east of Albion. Let all avail themselves of this epportunity of hearing the “Old Schools” tell it themselves, instead of taking hearsays and burlesques for truths, and our word for it, they will return wiser, if not‘less prejudiced. -

.No bushwhacking in our 'rocality yet. The Regulators arrested a sus-picious-looking individual last Saturday evening a mile north-west of Wawaka, but having no preofs of his being connected with the burglars, he was permitted to go on his way rejoicng. S We have no late news from the ‘seat of war,” more than that it is reported that the General in command of the Hawpatch forces is about to suppress the BANNER for giving utterance to disloyal sentiments. However, this does not come from a very reliable sourte, and we trust he will not be so ungenerous as to deprive our \'pitizVens of the only reliable means of jobtain.— ing information from the bloady field of battle. NON LIBET.

(From Another Correspondent.) - - DARK SIDE, August 13. FRIEND STOLL:—I do not take up my pen for the purpose of_ writing a lengthy communication, but% simply wish to say a few words for the comfort of “Non Libet.” He, it seems, determined to have the @ people know that he is the fortunate owner of a shot-gun; and that I have got it. There is one curious feature in the charge made against me respec‘;tin g his old gun, and that is this: I borrowed the gun for an indefinite length of time and a demand was never made of me for its return; and theén, having to be published as borrowing of my neighbors and not returning' the same, is certainly calculated to have a bad effect upon the borrowing system among my neighbors and myself. But the truth should be told at all times.

I am much pleased, indeed, to know that “Non Libet” has bought himself aXX revolver. I suppose ‘it would not be too hard on him to say that burglars are certainly in danger when confronting such a weapon in his hands, ready for use at'any moment. And now that the readers of the BANNER may know how much a XX revolver costs, I shall just say thi§ ] Doctor —— said he wanted five dollars for it. Says “Non Libet:” “I will gﬁe you four and a half,” and I think had it not been for other parties' he would have had to pay the five dollars. Now, who will take another xx? | ‘

Mr. Editor, I will try and remember you this fall with a sack or two of the best of apples, as my crop is fgoing to be good. I would share more liberally with you, but I expect “N OE Libet” around about picking time. | ‘Pardon me for oocupying;fo much of your space this time. OBSCURE, |

. CROMWELL. © @ Our old wheel horse, Mr. More, is about selling out his sstore to C.R. Wiley, of Wolf Lake, who will carry on the mercantile business in this place. We are glad to have such men as Mr. Wiley come among us, as he has the reputation of being |a gentleman as well as a fair and square dealer in every respect. | 5 : Dr. Jones is bartering with Mr. Baker for two or-three lots on which to build a dwelling and business house. The Doctor thinks of making this his permanent home. . | Mr. Baker has made a beautiful addition to the town. His plan’ of operation is as follows: Liain street is sixty-six feet wide, running north and south; cross-streets eighty feet, and a street to every four lots, with an alley intervening, making every lot a corner lot. There is still one corner lot reserved for the BANNER office. ' Mr. Randolph, the chief engineer of the Baltimore & Olio Railroad, wants four acres of ground of Mr. Baker on which to build the Round House and machine shops. 5.0 DALk

Mass Convention. Degeneracy is written upon the records of all political parties that have become powerful. We are rapidly approaching a crisis in our Mation’s History, in which the people are to decide whether cliques, and secret rings, who revel in the spoils of dishonesty, or the industrious masses 'who pay the taxes, shall officer and control the American Government. = _ Theére is no hope of obtaining relief through existing political organizations and a reform at the ballot box, regardless of parties, is at this time both a political and a moral necessity. The secret orders are, we believe, dangerous rivals of the christian religion. e Therefore, we, the undersigned, request such of our fellow citizens as are opposed to the secret orders and who desire justice in the administration of our laws, equal civil rights for American Citizens, the purity of the pulpit and freedom of the press, to meet with us in Mass Convention on the 20th day of October, 1873, at 10 o’clock, a. m., in the town of Albion, Noble county, Indiana, to form an organization auxiliary to “T'he National Christian Association oi)posed to Secret Societies,” and. to transact such other business as may be properly submitted to the convention. o : .

The “Housekeeper” of Our Health. The liver is the great depurating or blood cleansing organ of the system. Set the great housekeeper of our health at work, and- the foul corruptions which gender in the blood and rot out, as it were, the machinery of life, are gradually expelled from the system.— For this purpose Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is pre-eminently the article needed. It curesevery kind of humor from the worst scrofula fo tpe common pimple, bloteh or eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heal under its mighty curative influence.— Virulent blood poisons that lurk in the system are by it robbed of their terrors, and by a persevering and somewhat protracted use of it, the most tainted system may be completely renovated and built up anew. Enlarged glands, tumors and swellings dwindle away and disappear under the influence of this great resolvent.— It is sold by all Druggists. 665.

Ricr MoNoPoLisTs.—There are no monopolists so greedy as those legalized ones, the patentees; those sewing machine makers. or at least some of them, most notably. Isaac Singer, the well known sewing-machine manufaeturer, is said to have an income of a million dollars per annum, which he spends in Paris'in vulgar magnificence, according to the American Artisan.: It is a bitter reflection how many poor sewing-women contribute to this' income, compelled thereto by our unequal and unjust patent laws.
