—The announcement that Rev. Jno. Manford would deliver a sermon in the Christian Church last Sabbath forc- ‘ noon, attracted an unusually large and ‘ attentive audience to that temple. The closest attention was paid to the speaker’s remarks, and those in accord with his doctrines could not have failed to be delighted, while others of opposite views could not-well withhold the acknowledgment that the arguments adduced-vere masterly and well calculatédyio io'rce convictions ~XFater Duehnfig, wWho spent several months with his ailing mother in Germany, returned to his pastbrate of the Catholic Church at Avilla on the last day of the past year. We had the pleasure ,of meeting him yesterday; he presented a hale and hearty appearance, which indicates tliat the atmosphere of the Vaterland operated beneficially upon his system. Father Duehmig says a wonderful change has come over the,habits and customs of the Germans; that they have become strongly “Americanized” in so far as relates to the accumulation of wealth, He apprehends a revolt against Prussian’ domination, averring that positions of trust and honor in South-Ger-many are steadily being filled with -Prussians -to the infinite disgust and discomfiture of the good-natured Swabians and the placid Badensers. This, ‘coupled with.the already intense hostility between the Catholic and the Geermanic Empire, leads Father Duehmig to believe that serious complications may be anticipated. ;

A GREAT temperancerevival is just now being experienced at Washington Court House, Ohio. Dr. Dio Lewis lately ‘lectured there on temperance, and created an excitement that has been spreading and ‘growing more intense as the lecture has been discussed, until matters have reached a fever heat. Daily prayer meetings are being held by the women of the place, after which they adjourn to the saloons, where they pray and sing with the keepers and their customers, The other day the ladies were given permission by several saloon-keepers to deposit their stock of liquors into the gutter, which they proceeded to do amid great applause. Nearly every man in town has been induced to sign the pledge, and the ladies express the determination to go ahead until aleohol is exterminated. v j

- It is with no feelings of pleasure or exultation that I sit down to write the pélitical and social obituary of C. O. Myers. For the respect and love which I owe to this community, I should :}lxnost forbear, but as a chronicler of events as they.occur in our midst, duty and custom compels me ‘to publish this to the world. . As' 1 )huve'from time to time warned the people.of this vicinity against the evil nature and intent which this man }possessed, and have written one or two chapters in his history, it is but ! just that I should now C(mclu(}e with the final scene in this rather rémarkaDle drama. . In a- former article I asked the question, “is he safe?” and, also, reminded the reader that “there is a just God who rules over the destiny of nations.” = ! My worst fears in regard to our interests have been realized, and the unerring judgment of a just God has overtaken and meted out to him, with the rapidity of lightning, the’ punishment which he so justly merited, and for the benefit of the few who assisted in securing for this faithless oflicial the position which he has so 011t1'u‘;§0-J ously disgraced, I would say: Never oppose the unanimousisentiment of the people, remembering always that the people are generally right in the estimation they place upon men. ¥Voa | populi, vox Dei. . During the last four weeks a few citizens of this place, with the assistance of a detective in the mail service, have been weaving zu'ound‘T‘..'O, Myers the web of evidence which last Saturday culminated in his resigning the postmastership rather than accompany the detective to Indianapolis. When the deteetive appeared at his residence, on Friday evening, and informed C.O. Myers that he had ths évidence in his possession which would impose upon him a heavy fine and a term of years in the peniten- | tiary, the intelligence produced con-} sternation in that household. When on the next morning he appeared as a supplicant for mercy before the man whose business he had attempted to destroy by withholding letters containing checks ;ftom the sale of his property and advice from his commissionmen, and whose acquaintance he had shunned for years, it must ‘have been humiliating indeed. When he was told that his resignation as postmaster and payment of damages to the man whose business he had injured; wouid prevent a eriminal prosecution so far as that party was cencerned, it was perhaps cheating the law of its victim; then, as a final termination, and one in which is exhibited the pusilanimity of the man, he attexfipts to fix the blame on his wife. That was a _cow'ardly act, and, I am happy to know, he alone would have resorted to it. It generally adds ‘much to the credit of a scoundrel to say that he has a good wife, but tliis man thinks more of his neck than of the reputation of his family. Whether the matter will end here or not depends altogether upon the temper of the people, and ils this seems to be an age Qf rewards and punAi§,hments, Isece no good reason why he should escape. When the news of the post-ofiice affair became generally known, on Saturday last, it created great excitement throughout our town. A ' A letter has been sent to Senator Morton -asking him to intercede in behalf of the people. The latest reports are to the effect that Myers will attempt to save himself by putting the whole blame upon his wife and withdrawing his resignation, thinking bis wife may escdpe prosecution. - , One fellow, in his anxiety to save Myers, telegraphed to Generdl Grant. Capt. Iddings thinks “he would better have telegraphed to God Almighty!”

It is well that those who have been engaged in detecting this crime were so rigid and successful, as it undoubtedly has prevented the committing of others., e When Government Detective Knapp went into the post-office on. Friday and asked Myers’ assistant if she knew anything about the withholding of letters, she replied: “Yes. There is where they put them.”, ) There are a number of candidates here for the vacant, postmastership. Prominent among thése are W. Thomas, Christ. Browand and L. H. Johnson. - _Quite a number.of our citizens want an election to determine the choice for Postmaster, o - The mail-bag containing the Ligoniet BANNER laid at the depot all day, not long since, which was according to the ,%nstmction_s the mail-boy had received from Myers, and when that

official’s attention -was called to the fact, he remarked that it was of no consequenee, as it was the BANNER. It is,thought by many that there will be a printing office for sale here soon. It is not yet determined, however, whether the editor will “go West” or to Michigan City. B Judge Wildman came very near being Postmaster, as the law provides that when such officer is under arrest one of his bondsmen or a justice of the peace shall assume the duties of the office, e . dom..

~ A. A. Chapin, Esq., has gone to Philadelphia to attend a meeting of the Continental Railroad Company. Itis intimated that he hds his eye fixed on the office of Land Commissioner, the salary of which is only $lO,OOO per anpum. ' P ‘At a mecting of the Grand Army of the l-iopubliebn Tuesday evening the Post Oftice matter was the subject of an animated'discussion. A vote as'to who should be considered the soldiers’ candidate resulted in the choice of Capt. John R. Smith. I fear John’s Democracy will stand in his way in getting the appointment. © Mrs. Wm. Groh is 'vl'ec*l'iug from & protracted and serious iless. !’ Amother of our soldiers has been made happy by Uncle Sam. 'The lucky person is Joseph S.

WAWAKA ITEMS. This beautiful winter morning we again sail eutin our “local”-ship, with the BANNER of truth unfurled, and think and think me o’er again of the last week’s items of interest, but nearly fail, as all scems “quiet on the Potomac.” - Lo ~The last ery-sigis a little girl erying for broken toys; the last sensation, was the reading of the “local” from Wawaka; the last song, an echo; the last sermon, one preached by a Restitutionist, and the last religious news, “Zion languisheth.” = The Freewill Baptists are holding a protracted meeting at Springfield, one and a half mile northly, conducted by Elders Jones and Vaughn. TFifteen persons were buried in christian baptism last Sabbath, and still the work goes on. ' "I is said that Rev. G. W.llowe will soon commence a series of meetings at the M. E.

They took dinner then took the artist by storm, whe in turn took their pictures (a photographie group) then took their money for his services and the six o’clock train took them back home again. L

Some persons in criticizing “locals” at random often make sad mistakes; like the little boy who asked his father if he had another avife before he married mother. “No, my son, why do you ask such a question ?” queried the sire. “Because,” continued the urchin, “I saw in the old family bible where you married ‘Anno Domini, 1856,” and that is n’t mother’s name; her name is Sallie Smith.” : Messrs. Tibbott and John Zimmerman are in Albion as jurymen.

M. M. Dodge, they say, carries a gold watch and chain valued at $l5O. All right, Bro.

Eprror BANNER :(—Y our correspon- | ‘dent “Xavier,” from this place, in last week’s issue, rambles over the'dgings and misdoings of our city in a kind of semi-satirical way, without particularly fastening blame upon or harming any one. But it is plain that this incogitant-incognito affects to criticise the city government and its morals in general, and I refer to him simply to refute this mischievous fling at the Common Council. He says: “Our Common Council agree to pay fifteen thousand dollars attorney fees rather than compromise their debt for less money.” Now, that sentence contains one fact and two falsechoods—the latter by inference. The Council did foolishly make an outrageous conditional contract with certain attorneys and said contract was for the sum named, but this board never refused to compromise the debt for over $25,000, and never h’ad{ an opportunity to compromise for' “less money.” It must be borne in mind, too, that the contract with attorneys was not made by a majority of the present board, and that it was not sanctioned by all the members of the old moiety. The| compromise measures for $25,000 willi probably be put in final contract| shortly. ! Yours, &c., X 2 X, X,

Jack Thomas, the Negro Rapist. (From the Lagrange Standard of Jan. 8.) . The trial of Jack Thomas, the colored man, charged with rape upon Mrs. Nelson, of Ilaw Pafch, an old lady 70 years. of ~age,*in !July last, oceupied nearly all the day‘on Friday last, the Court ITouse being densely erowded all the day. The old lady’s statement was made in a clear and intelligent manner, and revealed an outrage which, with all its surroundings, of a diabolical fiendishness seldom equalled,in the annals. of crime. The only pointin the case left for the jury to determine was whether the prisoner at the bar was the person who committed the offense and fix ‘the penalty, as .the outrage was not denied, or in theleast exterruated by the defense. The old lady expressed a firm belief that the prisoner was the person. - This, with the circumstantial evidence that the prisoner was seen a few days prior to committing the crime' a few miles west of the residence of the Nelsons, and that when arrested, at 2 o’clock in the morning on an out street of this place, and not giving an intelligent but contrary account of himself, and the finding upon his person a knife which Mrs. Nelson thought to be the same she saw in his hand when the erime was committed, convinced ‘the jury the prisoner was guilty, and they returned a verdict accordingly, and fixed his punishment to seven years’ imprisonment in the Penitentiary.— ‘The jury was out only about two-hours. As the Sheriff was returning with the prisoner to jail, after the verdict, about, seven o’clock at night, the prisoner bounded away from the Sheriff and attempted to escape. A foot-race then took place, but the Sheriff’s legs proved suflicient unto the oceasion.-— The prisoner was overtaken, but made desperate resistance, and both had a rough and tumble in the mud, but the Sheriff secured the prisoner and -marched him back to jail, and turned the key upon him with a relish that probably only & Sheriff who rescues his first escaping prisoner can experience.

The inauguration of William' Allen at Columbus on Monday gives Ohio the nowelty of a Demoecratic Governor. The chief interest of the proceedings attaches to the inaugural.— Gov. Allen reminds the Legislature that the work of the Constitutional: Convention: will probably rendet necessary such a thorough revision of the laws of the State attheir next session that it will not be worth their while to attempt much in the way of statutory legislation, during this session. There is but ome matter which urgently demands their attention.— That is the reduction of the public expenses and of taxation. Every class of the community feels keenly its lessened ability to meet expenses: of all kinds, and he urges that the cost of running the State Government be reduced in proportion to the reduced ability of the people to pay their taxes. For years public expenses have been increasing, and the prodigality of the past is & sufficient proof of the need for frugality in the future.
