—We were almost tenpted to stand before a looking-glass and make a. scrutinizinig observation of our “phiz.” the other day, when Squire Prough related his*recollections of the Presidential campaign of 1828 and incidentally remarked that we were probably too young at that time to 6 remember anything about that exciting contest. The remark implied wrinkles and greylocks, neither of which, we are quite certain, ave as yet wvisible wupon this humble individual. Our existence dating. lgm no earlier period than the 'l3th of March, 1843, 'we feel like entering a mild Jmm,,'ﬂmnst%;mg somewhat common practice of ealling’ us “old Stoll.” :

DEATH IN THE FOREST. Alex. Hippenmeyer, a Young German, Struck by a Falling Tree and : .. Instantly Killed. s ‘ Whilé in town last Saturday, Geo. ‘Keehn gave us the particulars of a frigtii:'ful,“'casuanty, which occurred on his farm, a short' distance southwest of this place, on Friday morning of last week. A son of Mr. Keehn, a young German by the name of Alexander Hippenmeyer and another man went to the woods to cut wood. Hippenmeyer was engaged in felling a tree by himself, while the other two were felling an elm near by, which was about fifteen inches in diameter. When the elm fell it lodged and hung upon the north side of a large oak about fifty feet from where the unfortunate young man was at work.— Young Keelin and his companion proceeded to cut down the Bak, which was considerably inclined to the south. When it was nearly ready to fall, as ‘they supposed, young Keehn went near where Mr. H. was, to get his coat and watch, telling him at the same time that he had better leave his sit‘uation as their tree would fall in that direction. - All at once the oak gave way, falling in the direction of the two young men and the elm falling to the east and bounding over the jagged parts of the oak’s trunk. Both saw the great danger and immediately ran to the north as fast as they could, passing directly under the falling elm, thinking, of course, they could pass through before it would reach them. Young Keehn was a little in advance and had barely got out of danger: when Mr. 11. was struck by . the falling tree, tearing off one side of his head and face and‘-scattering his brains in every direction. A jury was called ond a verdict rendered in accordance with the above facts. ¢

Mr. Keehn stated further, that the deceased had been in this country only a year or two and had no relative; this side of the briny deep; that he/ displayed-more than ‘ordinary intelligence and ‘was highly esteemed by all who knew him. Deceased was twentytwo years of age. ~ His remains were interred in the Ligonier cemetery on Saturday. e :

~ Mr. Keehn has slloerconsiderablo generosity in donating, dnd soliciting others to do the same, for the purpose of procuring tomb-stones to mark the last resting place of the remains of this unfortunateé young man. "'~ §. [To the above account, kindly furnished us by a friend, we desire to add that-Mr. ippenmeyer was for several months in the employ of Mr. Metz, harness-maker at this place. Ie was an industrious young man and highly esteemed by all who knew him.] = !

~ Everybody call at Decker’s for holiday goods. e ¢ : ie o : —What has become of “Reporter,” our Hawpatch correspondent? Is he resting on his cars? —We enjoyed a very pleasant call by our clever friend, Mr. A.J. Stanley, son of Hon. 11. C. Stanley, yesterday afternoon. He was on his way to Chicago. Mn D. Nicodemus also paid us a visit at the same time. i

—Mr. Deéker, the popular grocer of this place, informs us that he is highly gratified with the success that has thus far attended his new business arrangement—selling for cash only.— Though the weather was extremely unfavorable last Saturday, and the roads. are still in a horrible -condition, Mr.” Decker reports very extensive sales each day. This is confirmed by his corps of salesmen who complain each evening of being “completely tired ont. L

A CArRD.—As I 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 flrms, 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.

Dr. Monroe Palmiter, the former assistant of Dr. Cummins, was in town yesterday, looking as round as ever.— He has been spending some time in Kentucky, and comes back to make preparations for his trip to California next Spring.—Elkhart Review, Dec. 10. - The Doctor is at present staying with - his parents in'this town. We met him on the street a few days since and feel justified in making the statement that his shadow has not grown less. : ‘ ;

’ LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS | ROME CITY NEWS. . . The Lake steamer, “Cora Bell,” (ali‘a3 Maple Leaf) has returned to her favorite wharf, where she sgems to be a little out of sorts—at least she has her sternup. = = There was a wedding in town on Sunday evening, and it looks now as if the complaint was going to be con‘tagious. ; e A hopeful sign was visible at the M. E. Church on Sunday last. Many of the young folks of the city were seen:there listening to the word of God. Seme of this number had sel-’ dom if ever been guilty of the like before. L I | A resident of Albion fearfully imposéd upon the Baxter law on Saturday evening last in our town. He must either have brought the where- 1 with with him or got drugged after coming here, for Rome City allows no saloons within her borders. E ' We learn that Rev. John Manfords of Chicago is to preach here on the Sth of next January. : b The foundations for Geisendorff’s new ice-houses is now ready and the buildings will soon be put in order to receive the ice. LR Dog raising is universally popular in Rome. It seems to be the favorite pursuit of a large number of our citi- l zens. o : hens

' The prospect “of starting a lyceum in our town has been favorably Spoken of. Why not carry it out? Let it be done by all means. ; ' The editor of the BANNER will probably be here on Friday ' (to-morrow) for the purpose of increasing his subscription list. I.et all be prepared to give him a lift and encourage a.good, spicy mewspaper. : #The “Earl of Kendallville” has become partially disgusted with the manners and customs of Rome, and now threatens to shake off the dust from his feet and return to his native city. We imagine that tlie required duties at the “Lake Side” are too severe for one of his years. We are sorry to part with Uncle Johny, butsich is life. Hog slaughtering in Rome City has about played out. We have not.-heen furnished with the statistics of the number slaughtered during the season. The pay-car passed through here on Tuesday last and made many souls happy.. =@ * :

. Fishing has been quite good for a few days past. Large quantities’ of nice shad have been'taken in. The Lake is again clear of ice and boating is in order. { - Rev. W. J. Chaplin, of Dowagiac, Mich.,, contemplate ' giving the Romanites a series of lectuves on religious subjects during the winter.. Mr. C. is a pleasant speaker and a learned man, and will deeph.y interest his au.dience, although his religious opinions ~may be considered- as rather on the broad gauge. - - ~ ATthough last Sunday was a beautii ful day for the business, many of our citizens left off their usualavocations, 4. e. fishing and hunting, and attended church. We believe that this would ‘be the case generally if we had live and interesting speakers and could h.}ve preaching at the proper hours of theday.. .. .. . Although the people of Rome and of Orange township are mostly Republicans, they are. highly pleased with the course of the NATIONAT BANNER and other papers of thesame independent political character. The peopledin: this section have come to the conclusion that they have been fuled by political demagogues about long enough, and now feel inclined to apply the Jeffersonian test to all officeseekers, to wit: “Is he honest? Is he capzﬂjlo ?” If not, stand aside, no matter what his politics. may have been heretaofore. . o

The news now comes that Capt. Hiram Ildings will probably be reappointed Pension Agent at Ft. Wayne, in consideration of valuable services rendered to his country during the rebellion in the Provost Marshal’s office at Kendallville. The Captain has received but few favors from the hands of his political friends, and being a man of pure mind and incorruptible principles, he® will nb doubt receive the appointment out of pure merit, and without regard to his extensive business qualifications whatever.— President Grant says that the soldiers must be remembered; and so let'it be done. _ ALEXIS. -

j KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. Pole-cat Myers is not very .complimentary to Gen. Lew." Blair in his last week’s issue. He associates him with Boss Tweed and says that he is ~opposed to having his trial come off; ~conveying the idea that he is afraid of the results. It is well known that Gen. Lew. Blair and family are warm friends of Capt. Iddings and family, and that their friendship is 'reciprocated. Now if the General is guilty and afraid of the result of’ that suit, he is hardly a fit subject to associate ~with Capt. Iddings, and what,is more ‘ reprehensible in Pole-cat is, his de‘nunciation of Mr. Idding’s friends. + I am surprised that Capt. Iddings does not shake off Pole-cat and let him go ‘to the dogs where he properly belongs. It is well understood in this vicinity that Pole-cat is blackmailing Mr. Iddings and that the game has been going on for'some time. He owes Capt. Iddings to-day $1,400 for rent, which he proposes to pay by .‘;inﬂmuge.”——— Polgieat played 1 same *role” with a former citizen ‘of this placé, now deceased. And further, he forced the Captain to take a position in our postoffice affairs that has cost him nearly all his influence among his old neighbors. He holds over him tue:columus of the Standard, and at thesame time is “poaching” from his pockets in various ways. And now, once more, 1 ‘would say to Mr. Iddings, shake off Pole-cat Myers and regain your standing among your old friends. - John Weston is highly -elated over g@ ;;gmt.t of a recent railroad suit nvolving the same principles that his does with the Continental Tlmprovement Company. The. decision

went againsf gthe@fraE oad company and will f:'hla{gélhiiit, in the Grand Rapids Company, equal to the present Continental stock. If the decision is good, it will have the same effect upon the stock held by this ecity, and inasmuch as the compromise between Gen. Cass and the city has not ‘been effected it would be well to investigate this matter. - . - Mrs. Johnson will ‘teach in’ the fourth reader room after the holidays. Our lawyers are hard at work making up their cases for the coming court. e

- John Miller, who recently purchased Barney Vayles horsés and dray, died on Saturday last. : - Rumor has it that the “corn doetor,” of thig place; Teceived ten dollars not long since for “making a match.” - Dr. Fick expects to make a trip to Philadelphia, Boston and other places SOk s s ' s Before Pole-cat Myers sells his corporation orders hie had better pay his delinquent taxes. e The Rev. Goodman preached a doctrinal sermon last Sunday. ' P * We have several farmers in this vicinity who raised over one thousand bushels of wheat. e And now, Mr. Editor, I will close my correspondence to the BANNER. If I have said anything that has instructed or amused sits many. readers, that is my reward; if I have offended or injured any one’s feelings, I am sorry for it, (always excepting Polecat Myers) and whether I eontinue my home in this or some other locality, I shall always be pleased to hear of the glorious old BANNER’S prosperity. ; : ] JOE, - SUNNY SIDE NOTES. | | - Nothing startling or unusual has transpired in this neighborhood within the last two weeks’; consequently, locals are like angel’s visits, feW and far between. . L We have been favored with more zain during the past fortnight than meets the approbation of the people generlly.

2 'The roads are very muddy, and to reach the “hub” of Perry township with a team is a pleasure not to be envied. We saddled up “shanks” last Saturday and rode down to attend the Farmers’ and Workingmen’s Club, which in point of numbers was almost a failure, but for order, intelligence and good-looking men, a perfect success. Those pres'ent were, President Eagles, Secretary Reynolds, Treasurer Engle, Uncle George Keehn and the writer. N o business was transacted, there not being a sufficient n'umiier present to constitute a quorum. It was, however, -agreed that we m:feet at the Town Hall next Saturday at 2 ‘o’clock P. M., when we hope to see a more pleasant day and a larger turnout. _Cannot our laboring brethren turn out and help to malke our organization successful? w 0 Fred Huher has purchased from the ‘heirs of Richard Billman, late of this township, decgased,forty acres off the homestead, being the forty north of the road.
