Horrible—A Man and His Daughter Drowned in Nine Mile Lake.

The report of a §a.d occurrence comes from Nine Mile Lake; about eight ‘miles south-westof Ligonier. It is to the effect that on Sunday last a man named Coy, accompanied by his young ‘daughter, undertook to cross the lake on what he seemed to consider a sufficiently thick sheet of ice. The two had proceeded only a few rods when the ice yielded to the pressure, and father and daughter immediately began to sink. Some one living in that neighborhood watched the travelers as they ventured upon their hazardous journey, and as soon as he noticed what had happened he gave the alarm and quickly proceeded to rescue them from their perilous situation. He took with him a thin .rope, threw one end to Coy, who struggled with desperation to keep himself and daughter above water. Unfortunately,the rope broke and before other and more substantial material could be brought into requisition, Mr. Coy’s strength became exhausted and he and his daughter perished simultaneously. Their bodies were recovered towards evening.

D. Meagher, Esq., has retired from the mercantile business and is succeeded by two enterprising young men,Messrs. Jacobs & Goldsmith. We but express. the unanimous sentiment of the community in stating that Mr. Meagher’s sudden and unexpected retirement is deeply regretted. Having from boyhood been’ actively connected with the most prominent business-house in this town, he is probably the most extensively know man of his age in this community ;—recognized as having, by steady application, acquired a large store of the world’s knowledge, both in a literary and commercial point of view; as possessed of a high sense of honor and unquestionable integrity; as a gentleman’of fine social qualities, and as a citizen esteemed by all with whom he has come in contact. We understand that he has associated himself with the South Bend Iron Works and will assume the management of their business in Ohio, headquarters at Mansfield. Our best wishes accompany him to his new field of operations. ° - %

Mr. Meagheris succeeded by Messrs. Meyer Jacobs & Abraham Goldsmith —both young men of considerable experience in the mercantile trade. The formef has for anumbenof years been a useful salesman in the house of which he is now part owner,; and the latter will be remembered as the former book-keeper of Straus’ Banking Office and subsequently of Straus & Meagher’s Dry Goods House. During the past year he was in the employ of an extensive establishment in New York, from which he retired only ten days ago to go into business here.— Both being worthy young men, we have no hesitancy in commending them to the favorable consideration of our readers. e Children’s Toy Trunks, suitable for holiday presents, at Beazel’s. = * —_————— A CARD.—As T am making preparations to leave Ligonier within a few weeks, I would ask all persons having claims against the late firm of Straus & Meagher or E. D. Meagher, to present them at once for payment. Customers who have unsettled accounts on the books of either of the above firms, will confer a great favor by calling on me and settling, and thus prevent the necessity of my going to their residences. My engagements elsewhere compel me to settle all my business here before New Year. (2t) E.D.MEAGHER.

LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS - ROME CITY NEWS. ' A new and startling Romance entitled the “Earll of Kendallville,” or the Disappointed—Adventurer, by Sylvanus Cobb, Esq., will soon make its appearance in the N. Y. Ledger. Other characters who are well known in this community will occupy a conspicuous place in this story; such ‘as the enraged landlady, the positive landlord, the departed guest, the mysterious agency of 'the Holy Scriptures, &c., &c. 1t is the intention of the Author to offer the same for publication in the NATIONAL BANNER, New Era, and Kendallville Standard, the paper offering the largest bonus to have the exclusive right of publication. Inasmuch as all of the characters in this Romance are citizens of Rome City, it will doubtless be a big thing for the paper securing the publication. Rome City is bound to improve and )will improve in spite of all opposition. "J. C. Geisendorff of Indianapolis will immediately erect six large ice-houses and fill them with crystal ice for the citizens of Cincinnatti. These houses are to be built of sufficient capacity to contain ten thousand car-loads of 10 tons each. How is that for high?— ‘ This is no hoax; the wind work is already completed., The President’s Message was eagerly sought for by the Romanites. It made its appearance on Wednesday and was’ devoured by the anxious readers with as much gagerness as if it"had been a Patent Office Report. After giving it a careful perugal, all were compelled te say that verily the President has no policy to urge against the wishes of the people. Take thé whole document through and through, and it is pretty thin for these war times. . 'A most terrific hurricane swept over our city on Wednesday night of last week. The Lake Steamer was unable to stand the pressure and rushed furiously for the opposite gide of the Lake | where she still remains solitary and dlone, ice-bound. All" of the small boats deserted their comfortable houses and followed suit. Ede Fisher’s boat started for Northport, but was captured near the tumble, full of ice and water. Fencesand a large amount of valuable timber in this immediate vicinity was laid low. We have not space to particularize,but suffice it to say that the damage was immense. Another valuable improvement in our thrifty young city is secretly spoken of, to wit: As soon as the six icehouses before spoken of are erected, a joint Stock Company will immediately proceed to inclose and shingle the Reservoir and make it into a magnificent skating park. Theiroof is to be sufficiently illuminated with sky lights for day use, and af night the whole park is to be illuminated with Magic Lanterns. The eléction of officers will take place shortly, until which time the whole sgheme is to be kept secret. : |

/After reading the “Lake side ripples” in last week’s Standard, we sincerely wished that we had been born a poet. We dearly love poetry, but never having committed any we would be{'forced, should we attempt a quotation, to come right dewn to originality. But we must make a trial;se here goes: _ Let dogs delight to snarl and bite, : - Fur God has made them so. - ~Let tears and lions growl and fight, For 't is their nature to. ‘ But Romanites should never let Their angry passions rise. Their fists were never made for mauls, * To black each other's eye. ) : ' But they will doit, The above is all original except the variations. i ‘There are twenty or thirty more persons here who ought to take the BANNER and will do so as soon ag the Editor comes, in person and solicits them. ‘He has promised time and again to come, but has never done it. The sooner he comes the sooner this work will be accomplished. Joe Wade, Esq., of Lagrange, was in town on Saturday. We frequently see him here, but his visits are generally very short. : Johnny Gower’s grand opening Ball was not a very big-thing, but the supper is said to have been very excellent. Dancing lasted until a late hour and as usual on such occasions indications were that there was a bountiful supply of wet goods consumed. : The Baptists have their new church (the old 'school house) mearly ready for occupancy. When ready for use, a protracted meeting is to be held therein. ‘ - :

- It is reported that several young pairs about town have the subject of matrimony under serious contemplation. There is no telling what the holidays may bring forth. The township teachers institute met here on Saturday last and had a good time. Several teachers and others from Albion were present. ALEXIS. KENDALLVILLE LOCALS.

That row at Wolf’s saloon cost the participants sixty-four dollars, most of which goes into the school fund. Well, they were generally young gentlemen, and they ought to be pleased that they can do the rising generationsome goed, .~ 7 0 : The new Lutheran church of "this place was dedicated last Sabbath. Thé building, both outside and in, is a credit to the Society and one of which they should feel proud. They have suspended at the back part of the altar a beautiful oil painting of the erucifiction of Christ, which portrays vividly to our imagination that scene of over eighteen hundred years ago. A dispatch came to this town last Monday from Lima, Lagrange county, stating that the Rev. Mr. Drake, Presbyterian minister of that place, and his wife were both lying dead at that time. Mr. Drake had passed through this place a day or two previous, in answer to a telegram that his wife was very low, and upon his arrival at. home found her dead. While at Waterloo Mr. D. had been somewhat indisposed and after reaching home he grew worse and died. Both were buried on Tuesday in one grave. Bix children are left to mourn their loss.

John Grahamn was elected City Clerk last Saturday. He had no oppesition. Our town was visited last Saturday by a large crowd of people and, trade wasgood. ¢ Our school will be closed during the holidays. e The winds howled fearfully on Wednesday night of last week, keeping many from their peaceful slumbers in this vicinity. . : _ Elihu Wadsworth has got a remarkably fat pig. It is well worth a visit to look at it. , 3 - It is proposed to organize a Grange, or Farmers’ Club, in this place soon. James N. Childs and John Gallup, I believe, are the prime movers. That is right, gentlemen, it can do no harm and may do much good. JoE.:

: “AVILLA JOTTINGS. Hard times is the cry of everybody at present, especially the farmers.— Now, I consider all this mere nonsense, as it is nothing more than a fashionable: ejaculation and not a'true representation of the present state of affairs. In support of my assertion I will produce a comparison of prices of farmer’s products and dry goods, groceries, &c., at different times. At present :wheat commands $1.40 a bushel, corn 50 cents, live hogs $3.75 to $4.00 pei' cwt. Dry goodsand groceries are as low as in ante-war times, while two and three years ago, farmers’ products were sold at the same figures and the price paid for store goods was from 25 to 30 per cent. higher. In reality, there is no need of complaining; about hard times among farmers, as they are in fact prospering better than any other class of people. | Hon. H. C. Stanley was in town last Saturday. He expressed himself as opposed to the Granger movement, for the reason that it is a secret organization. 'He thinks no good can be derived from a secret society. . | Real estate is evidently on the rise, as can be seen from the following transactions: Mr. M. J. Good sold to a Mr, Rodgers two lots of 44 feet for the consideration of $500.00, which is the Jargest amount ever paid for lots in this town. ' e When a man rents a store room for the purpose of using it for a dining, sitting, and sleeping room and kitchen, it is evident that dwelling houses in this town are scarce. But such is the case. Dwelling houses command a rent of from $8 to $lO a month and every house in town is occupied. The facts are that erecting buildings in this place is not only a necessity but also a profitable investment. " - The 8,, P. & C. R.R. has abandoned all work in this vicinity and don’t interld to re-open work until next spring. They are offering 85 cents.a piece for ties. The right of way has all been settled by arbitration, except through Mr. George Weaver’s and Judge Randall’s farms; the former, being dissatisfied with the amount awarded to himn by appraisers, appealed to court. Squire & Higgins Bros., the former contractors: on the B, P. & C. R. R,, have been discharged by the Company and their contract taken away from them, for reasons not very creditable to these gentlemen. The readers of the BANNER certainly remember yet the revelations I made in this paper concerning the contractors last summer. Irregularities in paying off their work-hands undoubtedly superinduced their discharge. : Everybody says we need a good station house on the G. R. & I. R. R.— The present building which is used for a depot is an old frame house and entirely unfit for the purpose. But the Continental Improvement Company is endeavoring to make as much money as possible out of the road with the least expense; hence the chances for a new depot are decidedly against us. B

- From two to three carloads of live hogs are shipped weekly from our station. Messrs. Baum, King, and Drake are the principal buyers. They paid $3.75 per cwt. last week. : , Mr. Reuben Stahl has’ sold his entire stock of groceries, queensware, &c, to Mr. Wilson Beckley, who removed into the rdom formerly occupied by Stewart & Bro. Mr. Stahl has gone into the window shade business. - Everybody says that Messrs. Baum, Walter & Co. have one of the nicest stores in Noble county. They are doing a large business and sell’ very cheap, especially for cash. - Mr. Thomas Ross, of Butler township, DeXalb county, raised 1400 bush‘els of potatoes on 20 acres of ground. They are a very large potato and are called the “Peerless.” He expects to realize $l.OO a bushel from this delicious fruit and will.derive a handsome profit from such a small investment, Mr. Charles Riegel, at the last session of the Commissioners court, obtained license under the new liquor law. Baxter ig not much thought of in this township and he will surely think that this (Allen) township is a democratic one, asitreallyis. Charles says: “when you come right down to fine points, I intend to keep a decent saloon and minors and habit#%l drunk‘ards need not apply.” j . Mr. W. 8. Hersh has charge of our winter school, with Miss. Woods, of Kendallville, as assistant. The school under their management must undoubtedly prosper, as they are old hands at the business. REPORTER.

, . WAWAKA ITEMS. . * " The truth is out at last, and there’s no use of denying it, the community in and around Wawaka is a reading community; and truth is strénger than fiction.. The moss popular reading now seems to be the locals in the BANNER, Standard and Era; and the most fun i, nobody knows who writes them all—not even Aunt Betsey<Pry, who says, “I guess there will be a grand collision in locals before Spring: if they all tell the truth about things,” But we think the correspondents will act wisely, and if they cannot say any good of a person say nothing-at all. Our concert last Sunday night was a perfect success—a feast of fat things, and we partook slightly. Rev. Howe being absent, in Brimfield, the exer-

_cises were conducted by the teachers. Mr. Mummert read the programme, Mr. Trump made a nice speech, which ‘was followed by others. The song by Miss Olive Dodge and Salli¢ Zimmerman was splendid, and the two recitations by Bella Champer and Ella Lumm were well spoken. A poem, written fifty years ago, was read by Mrs. Jane Henry, with much interest, having been composed by her first Sabbath-school teacher; also, the song sang by Mrs. . Nimmon was sung with a fervor and zeal characteristic of the lady. Mr: Moyer, the German preacher from Kendallville, then told the children a story, which he said came under his own observation in Canada. It was of a child, little Anna, who was lost in the woods, and of the joy of her parents when the child was found alive after two days. He then made a beautiful adaptation of his story to the joy in heaven over one sinful person who repents. = Mr. and Mrs, Cookingham have taken another boarder into their family—a little girl. They ought to be proud of their three graces, Faith, Hope and Charity. : Our eyes beheld a sight to-day such as we never.saw before. It was a man (Dr. Guard) with a wild deer, made tame by powder, upon his shoulder. 1t cost him twelve dollars. Messrs. Bola and Stignar have just returned from a recent hunt in Michigan and brought home with them seven deer. It is astonishing how the men now say deer to their wives; it is, “Dear wife, cook me some deer.” The luxury is worth fifteen cents per pound, but, of course, it is a great comfort to be called “dear” once a year. : A little four-year-old girl of Mr: Lonker died last Thursday and the parents started in the evening to take the corpse of little Chatty eight miles west of Ligonier for burial. A sad pilgrimage it must have been to them.

- Three families in Wawaka take all three county papers—BANNEß, Era and Standard—and: three take no county paper at all.

Weighing hogs was the order of the day; Mr. Adam Nickey; of Eel River, was the buyer,’and neighbor Abraham Ott bears the palm for the heaviest lot. * e ‘That violent wind-storm of which the BANNER spoke last week, reached this place also. Fences were blown down and trees uprooted, but beyond these no serious damages were sustained in this locality. Old-settlers pronounced this the severest storm that ever visited this community. : Ligonier is not the only place where rural larks indulge in blows and knogk-downs. Our fast boys amuse themselves occasionally in a like manner, especially at those Ittle neighborhood dances. ‘ , Mr. Editor, will you please take notice that the “boys” who are doingthe ‘painting of your fine residence—Henry C. and Peter Winebrenner—are old acquaintances of mine? I haveknown them from early childhood, and am satisfied of their ability to do a good job. . Our winter term of school commenced Monday morning, under the supervision of Irwin Jones.. There were 33 scholars in attendance on the first day, which is deemed pretty good. Nothing intervening, I intend to visit'the city of Chicago next week. 5 RUMBO.

An Answer to. Many Inquiries. EDpITOR BANNER :(—Some time since, it was announced in the BANNER that I was preparing to bring out the operata, “Laila,” by G. W. Stratton, to offer as a holiday treat to our citizens. The possibility of preparing so complicated and characteristic a piece in so short a’ time, and with inexperienced talent, for public rehearsal, was denied by critics who had examined the ‘work. But, believing that the task could be accompli_shed, I went to work, selected a troup of twelve girls —two of whom are the best pathetic characters I have ever heard,—took each one through a course of training to fit her for her particular part, and put the work into rehearsal just one month ago and am now. happy to announce to all enquiring friends that we are ready for the public rehearsal, to be given at Kann’s Hall on Monday and Tuesday evenings, December 22d and 23d, 1873; that by bringing to bear energy and perseverance we have completely mastered this work of sixty-four pages, some of it as difficult music as has ever been written. A gentleman from Des Moines, lowa, who has taught music a number of years, and who has heard “Laila” recited three:different times, was present at one of our rehearsals last week and tells us sthat our rendering of the piece is more life-like, and some of our talent better qualified for the work than any he has ever heard.— Some of our leading citizens have also been present at some o{l oeu' rehearsals and express surprise that we sheuld be able; to master this work as we have done. I will spare neither pains nor expense to make the entertainment a success in every way. Programmes, giving plot and full description of the piece, together with the names of the performers, can be had, free of charge, by applying at the Academy officeafter 13th inst. Seats will be sold after Wednesday of this week.
