The crowd was not'so darge @s on former occasions, but it “was stfficiently large for genial comfort. "Afl seemed to conduct themselves with due order and propriety. _gwpesﬁgg,per-}vas excellent. 'The table was spread with all the luxuries of the season. The music was such as none ‘bnt Rome City is capable of furnishing. The dance lasted until the early dawn of the New Year day, when all quietly retired to their homes, feeling that it had been good for them to be Weras o 0 - i The concert at the M. E. Chu{rch'im New Yedr evening was well attended 4nd proved-to be very heneficial to the Treasury of the Sunday School department.. All were pleased, being satisfied that they had reccived the worth ‘of their money. l_‘ : We are sorry tosay that “Lake Side” failed to ripple in the Standard last week. We rather suspect that the ‘danee at the Lake Sike interfered with his more sacred duties. - We learn that Esq. W. Bi Dunn, of Brimfield, has ousted J: Q. Knox and has taken possession of the Post Office at that place. We wish the Esq. success in his new “posish” und are glad to see a “local scribbler” duly rewarded, but at the same time we cannot re,,fi’ain from shedding tears of sympathy for John Q., whom we always esteemed as a very clever and accommodating gentleman. We are of opinion that the office of Postmaster in a small:town is-a difficult duty to perform to the satisfaction of all grumblers, and can but think that if the Esq. succeeds in this, he will earn the: worth of liig money. ‘ . The proprietors (of the Lake’Side House arelargel,y indebted to Brimﬁeld and Ligonier for the patronage o'f‘; their dance on New Year eye. These two towns can send out a jolly set of boys on short notice. - ‘

The Rome City Woolen Factory has stopped for vacation. The former employes of the two factories are now enjoying a protracted Iloliday.. Dr. J. W.

Come on; boys, we will do all in our power to make your visit red hot, i W. W. Skillen, Esq., is absent in the State of Michigan, where he will remain several days: looking after the interests of the Magnet Woolen factory. We had almost forgotten to mention that the “weather”. during the week past has been about the same at Rome City that it has in other parts of the country. We hope our brother locals will make a note of this. ©

The report that a boy broke through the ice and drowned on our Lake a few days ago is not true. He was only scared and still lives to warn other boys to keep off thin ice. ArLEXIs.

KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. Kendallville is full of sensation. As one subsides another launches itself into our midst,- and without which life, to us, would be slow indeed. One day we contract a debt of nearly one hundred thousand dellars, and in a short time repudiate it. We build scho6l houses and churches that are unsurpassed by any in the country.— Our store rooms are much larger than Ahose found in neighboring towns, and what seems rather peculiar, they are crammed full of goods. Some of our merchants do a thriving -business, “burst up,” pay sixty cents on the dollar, and go on again. Our preachers, after a long life of prayer and usefulness, become sceptical and full of blasphemy. Our Common Council agree to pay fifteen thousand dollars attorney fees rather than compromise their k-’tgouble for less money. One-armed

‘soldiers are turned out of places of profit, and strong men are put in their stead, The post office is filled with those who went not out to the battles front, and the wounded and needy are_ turned away. Places of prostitution are permitted, simply that we may have the reputation of a great city.— “ Blear-eyed ” women walk the streets, seeking after their victims unmolested. Breach of promise cases are gotten up of $lO,OOO magnitude. Local editors are seized upon the streets and horsg-whipped with impunity, and the executive officer who assesses the fine makes it as light as possible, and further remarks in a complimentary manner that the horse-whip was the only remedy. Notwithstanding all this, Kendallville, with its ten chiurches, whose steeples tower heavenward, is a good place to dwell in. £ Rev. Isaac Dean, of Allen township, died a few days ago. . ‘ Keller Moyer and wife are here visiting their friends. He has sold his residence to Cost Thomas.

~ Elder Boggs, now of Huntington, made this place a visit last week. He officiated in the marriage ceremony of Rev. Blainy. The Elder met with quite a serious accident some weeks ago and is obliged to go on crutches.

Prof. Clark made this place a short visit last week. He is now engaged in delivering a course of lectures at Goshen. = : : Frederick William Straus was here on Monday last. Old Mr. Johnson, father of Enoch Johnson, who formerly lived here, died a few days.ago. ' , L A child, aged ahout three years, was' drowned in a spring, in the north part of town a few days since. Our church congregations are devoting this week to prayer. : Since those big advertisements appeared in the different county papers the trade of Kendallville has increased fifty per cent. ; Ligonier was well represented at the firemen’s dance on New Years night. .

- SUNNY SIDE NOTES. + Mn. EDITOR.—On New Years Eve., our school district was pleasantly entertained at the school house by one of Prof. Fuller’s illustrated lectures.— Marked attention was shown by the entire audience, and all seemed deeply interested until he attacked “benzine.” Just at this juncture we were greeted with the most hideous yelling, and soon a boisterous ecrowd of seven young men were at the door demanding admittance, cussing and swearing in a manner that, we should think, would please their father—*“Old Nick.” The Professor tried to reason the case with them and admitted the crowd for the small sum of fifty cents on condition that they would be quiet until he should get through with the lecture. But the illustrations did not meet with their approbation. The idea of seeing themselves <» well represented upon canvas wasmore than they could bear, and their conduect during the remainder of the evening was very degrading and ungentlemanly, to the annoyance of all present. We think if such chaps were .brought before a magistrate a few times, and incarcerated in the County jail, they would learn to take a joke. .

That Aunt Lecta Gage and Mrs. Bussing know how to roast turkey and get up the other “fixings” for a New Years dinner, a number of her friends, neighbors and the writer can attest. Among the guests were Mr. Reed and lady, of Rochester, N. Y.,—nephew and niece of Aunt Lecta; also her son-in-law, Mr. Stewart and lady, from Big Rapids, Mich., were present. Mr. Reed’s health is very miuch impaired, aud he is now on a tour to the western states and territories to recuperate, thinking that a change of climate will be beneficial in restoring his badly affected lungs. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart will return home in a few days. - The person who sent through the post office an anonymous message on a postal card, criticising the manner in which our teacher conducts his school, should be branded as a calumniator and a coward. - ' We had any amount of mud the latter part of last week, but at this writing it is all gone. The’ health of the péople in"this ‘neighberhood is excellent. . ° 2

. - NONLIBET. ’ CROMWELL. . % For the past few days the weather has been very mild for the season, with plenty of mud to meet all demands, at least in this locality. Mr. L. J. Mecllntire has purchased four or five town lots in this, place,‘ and intends putting up a large Chair Factory and other necessary machinery. Mjy. Mclntire is from Southbridge, Mass., and we doubt not a bus-’ iness man. - i e ‘ That Sunny Side man'spoke about.a ‘ certain individual receiving a Christ‘,i mas present of about 10 pounds weight. : ‘Our town beats that all to smash, Non- ‘ libet, when we may fairly speak of a 12 pound young gentleman as a New Year gift to the wife of H. D. Cress.! and also one to the firm of Hezekiah Mayfield. We have not learnéd as to whether it is masculine or feminine and others too tedious to mention. The second monthly Institute passed off very quietly last Saturday. Seven out of the ten teachersin the township were present. J. M. Hursey was| elected President and A, J. Yoder Secretary. Sherman Engle, the teacher in this place, who by the way is an efficient teacher, introduced a new and short ‘method of squaring numbers, which was new to the most of the audience. John M. Hursey gave some ‘profitable instruetion on arithmetic; but let it be remembered, that the Divines and M. D.’s had considerable to say on the occasion, which had the tendency to make things generally lively. - R ~ The first rehearsal of Ten Nights in a Bar-room to-night by our yonngg~ Americas.

Wawaka was visited last Sabbath by a real live Indian, whose English name is Henry Jackson. As chief he answers to the name of “Storm Cloud.” He i 8 not the poor Indian whose untutored mind sees God in theé clouds and hears Him ih the winds, but a civilized, christianized being, who‘is pastor and has charge of the Methodist. Church in Holland, Mich.; a real Doctor of Divinity. He said he had walked and talkéd in the streets of New York with Rev. Dr. Thomas, the man whom the Modoes killed, and he eulogized his integrity. “Storm Cloud” shows: marked evidence of study and close application of mind; all of which goes toshow what education can do for even the persecuted red man..He gave us a lecture, preached a sermon, sang a song; received a few dollars towards building his people a church, was photographed by an artist, and went on his way rejoicing, catrying with him the well wishes of the people of this place. 5

Rev. G. W. Howe preached to alarge audience last Sunday evening. The writer counted. thirty young men in the congregation, all of whom paid marked attention. The speaker regretted that.so many excused themselves for not. obeying the gospel because they believed in a natural religion and exhorted them to try the experimental during the year 1874. Mr. J. Cox and daughter are visiting friends herein town. | Charles North was at church on Sabbath evening with a lady that looked very much like a bride. We wish them much happiness. PROGRESS.

. -PUBLIC MEETING. Organization of a_Building, Loan & Savings Association. T A meeting of those favorable to the organization of a Building, Loan, and Savings Association in the town of Ligonier, will be held in the Public School House on Monday evening next, January 12, 1874. A large attendance is respectfully solicited. o o MANY CITIZENS. Donation Visit—A Card. Rev, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Sale take this method of expressing their thanks to their many kind friends who gave them a pleasant surprise call on New Year's eve. After a very enjoyable social, the singing of a Doxology, and prayer offered by Dr. Crum, the visitors bestowed substantial tokens of regard by way of cash and other good things to. the amount of about $3O (which has since been considexably increased.)’ - e WUKL B —_———a e ‘DOES IT PAY ?—One of the Agents of The Christian at Work, T. De Witt Talmage’s paper, recently obtained 380 subscriptions in about eighty hours absolute work. This was great success to be sure, but. the agent had a fine paper and superb chromos to back him. There is room for more agents of the same sort. Samples and terms free. ' Office, 102 Chamber street, New York. See advertisement.

—lt may not be generally known that our esteemed friend, Mr. M. M. Dodge, of Wawaka, has devoted considerable attention to'theological studies and that he has, during the past few months, delivered a number of public discourses. Such is nevertheless the fact. On last Sabbath he preached in the Christian Church, and those in attendance speak in very flattering terms of his effort. He has a good voice, is possessed of strong reasoning faculties, and with some practice will doubtless become a popular pulpit orator. : —We have already submitted sufficient factsto satisfy every thinking ‘man that Building, Loan and Savings Associations are highly beneficial institutions. It is therefore to ba hoped that the meeting next Monday evening will be a rousing one and that such an association as contemplated will be promptly organized in this town. * e | Pl * —We have tested some of Decker’s maple-flavored Silverdrip of which he speaks in his big advertisement.
