Ligonier Building, Loan & Savings ~ Association. -The Building, Loan & Savings Asso_ciation meeting was he'd on Monday ‘evening, January 19th, according to hadjoumment—E. W. Knepper ix} the ‘chair. After discussion as to the ‘Gourse to be taken, it was decided to ‘obtain all the names possible with their number of ‘shares, and then proceed to vote on a constitution, section by sectien, which was done. It was then found necessary to have all‘contemplating membership sign the.articles of association before proceeding to elect directors and which should. have been don@ before voting on a ‘constitution. After articles of association were signed, the manner of voting for directors was settled as follows: A committee of three was appointed by the chair to bring in the names of fifteen members from whom all should choose by ballot nine to be directors for the ensuing year. The names of the committee were added to the former number. On. counting ballots, the following persons were found to be chosen: .J. B. Stoll, D. S. Scott, R. D. Kerr, E. W. Knepper, D. V. Green, 1. E. Knisely, P. Sisterhen, J. C. Zimmerman,and C. V. Inks. A committee of three composed of J. B. Stoll, 1. E. Knisely, and J. C. Zimmerman, was appointed to draft By-Laws to be brought before the next meeting, when an adjournment was made to Thursday evening, 22d inst. ‘ MEETING OF THE DIRECTORS.

The constitution provides that the diréctors shall elect from among thejr number the officers of the association. Agreeably to previous announcement, the directors chosen last Monday evening met at the office of I. E. Knisely, Nsq., on Tuesday afteynoon—Hon. D. S. Scott being called to the chair and D. W. Green acting as secretary. The following gentlemen were thereupon elected ofticers for the current year: " President—J. B. Stoll, - . . Vice President—l. E. Knisely, Treasurer—D,. S. Scott, Secretary—D. W. Green, _ None of the offlcers, except Secrotary and Freasurer. are entitled to’' compensation for their services. Y —— e — Literary or Theatrical ? MR. EpiTor:—l have an aversion to local disagreements in our weekly home news, but a part of “About Town,” in last week’s BANNER, by P. 0. K., deserves notice. Whither are we drifting whe'n'z}L Lyceum or. Literary, as it is called by some, “which was organized for the benefit of young men and women,” must be transmogrified into a theatre? Qur young men and young women must have a morbid appetite for fiction, sharpened by good-for-nothing comic dramas and “Great Nautical Black Eyed Susan.” These ‘entertainments of a literary character are, of course, gotten up and arranged by individuals who lay high claim to ‘morality and have consciences so well educated in bible precepts that they ‘are sorely troubled over christians making social calls upon their, pastors, and encouraging them by kind words and deeds. . The parents of the young men and young women who are to be benefited by such performances should pray the good Lord to deliver us from such a literary nuisance. Is itso that the supply, in reality, has been exhausted, and literary societies have to resort to dramatical performances to attract to their halls the youth of our town, HoRrEBs. s » ———— S . Our Lyceum—A Request.’

Will the parerits of the small boys and large boys who do not belong to our Literary chiety, caution them to q"’fther keep away or not disturb and interrupt proceedings by 'whisperipg and talking during the session hours ? The Society is intended to benefit all who attend; either in taking a part, or patiently hearing .those who do.— While we 'would be glad to have all in attendance take a part, yot if they cannot, we ask a respectful hiearing. The Lyceum is. intended a% an aid to our school. Its grade does not contemplate the part, in its courses, which we fill. In such a town as ours, it is an advantage, and it might be said, a necessity. - THE MEMBERS.

EpITOR BANNER :(—Please announce that there will be a meeting of the County Association Opposed to Secret Societies at Albion, on Friday Febru- | ary 20th, to which all the members of the association, and all friends thereof, | and all citizens of the county wishing information in-regard t¢ the purposes and aims of said association, are invited. By order of the Executive Committee. C. G. FaAilT, Secretary. et - —— A DRAW-BACK.~A quéstion is likely i to be raised, as to whether men who | were fined under.the 9th section of the 1 temperance law, are not entitled to re- ‘ ceive their money back. How that that, portion of the law has been decided unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. There are quite a number of victims to this section, in various parts of the country. The decision will seriously interfere with the enforcement of the law, but it will, at the same time, stop a large amount of unprofitable and petty litigation. So there will be no great loss without the corresponding small gain— Waterloo Press. | B. & O RolD.——An effort will be made, at the next term of the Circuit Court, to secure the claims of persons’ who have furnished labor or material, to contractors on the Baltimore, Pittsburgh & Chicago railway, by garnisheeing the company. Attorneys in this place represent nearly one hundred claimants, and these are but a fraction of the. claims, no doubt, upon which laboring men and others are being deprived of their pay. It looks | to an outsider as though the rich Baltimore and Ohio road, which is backing this enterprise, ought to be able to secure a different state of things on ‘the line. From one end of the line tothe other come complaints, from men who were dipchar%ed at the commencement of winter, wihout receiving their pay.—Walerloo Press. i : & —ll O P, ~ 81. JosEPH COUNTY.—A verdict of $lO.OOO was érgndered against John Farneman for failure to marry according to contract Miss Kate Fox. ‘He should have come to time, as he is the father of her child. The testimony published by the South Bend Tribune, ‘shows little credit to the woman, who had compromised with Farneman for $l.OOO on the claim of bastardy. But 'he deserves no sympathy. :

LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS LT e e KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. A Farmers’ Grange was established in this place last week. ' What was known as the Good Templars’ Hall, in the Mitchell block, has been rented and will be used by this organization as their place of meeting, The “Hidden Hand” was rendered before quite large audiences in this place on two evenings of last week. The proceeds go for the benefit of the Disciple Chureh. : : That rather pleasant grove on the bank of Bixler Lake, belonging to John Mitchell, has nearly all been converted into fire-wood. : The little speck' of trouble in our school has been amicably settled, between the teacher and the aggrieved party, which prevents a suit for ‘assault and battery. o I am pleased to hear from “X. X: X.” that our railroad matters will be settled soon, and I hardly think an investigation would show two false—i hoods in the quotation he makes. I hepe none will attempt to wear the. coat unless it fits. The time is” probably quite "near when the ice business of this place will be of considerable importance. Our lakes, which furnish the very best of ice, lay convenient to the railroads and -would undoubtedly make the trafiic profitable to those who would invest money in 1?t o

By the action of the Continental Improvement Company at Philadelphia, a few days ago, our north and south railroad has been, returned to its former owners a little prior to the specifications of the original agreement, which provided for its return some time in July next. It will be noticed, I presume, that the same individuals who compose the one company compose the other, and this _xilove was only the last link in the chain to so complicate the matter as to prevent the local subscribers to the original stock from sharing in the great land grants of the road. This seems to be a business to which very “big” men resort, but it has its parallel in some very small tricks that I might ‘mention. o - ot A dispatch from Hon. Sayler was received here stating that our postoffice matter will be investigated. It had been supposed by the people here that Detective Knapp had sufficiently investigated the affair. | , Letters have been received Here from Major Sayler, claiming that he has the whole matter in his hands, and that it is for him to say whether Myers shall hold on to the Post Office or not. It is to be regretted that he has the power to compromise wrong. . Jacob Waltman has left the depot and is now clerking in the First National Bank. . e Frank Fisher goes to Fort 'Wayne and will continue the business of clerk in a banking institution of that city. V. C. Mains, Esq., has purchased property on the north side of the Air. Line Railroad. o ? . Prospects for a long spell of sleighing are daily growing less. Allison Green, who is now residing near Toledo, made a visit to this vicinity last week. : L. E. Goodwin, Esq., don’t believe that a jury would. assess a fine upon a teacher for punishing a child to correct its faults at school. - : Bob McGregor sent a petition with one hundred names to Major Sayler, asking that we be allowed the privilege of an election to designate' our choice for Postmaster. -

WEDNESDAY ‘MORNING. ¥ am happy to be able to say that our railroad indebtedness is finally settled. ~Through: the indefatigable energy of Mr. A. B. Park the question was brought by A. A. Chapin, Esq., before the meeting of the Company at Philadelphia, and the result is a compromise in accordance with the agreement made at Fort Wayne. Now, all we will have to do is, to pay our taxes promptly and meet the $2500 annually, and I see no good reason why our town may not be very prosperous. A letter was received this morning from Detective Knapp, saying that he sent Myers’ resignation to Washington on the next Monday after leaving here, and that he had no doubt that the Dopartment would accept it as soon as another man was recommended for the place. : : It seems that Myers is recognized in his true light by 'the Department. Having some business with ex-Post-master Lisle, they instructed him to go to Lagrange and attend to it. It was the paying over of a balance of some sixty dollars which he owed the Department, and he proceeded to that place to-day to attend to it. . ~Sayler says as soon as he gets' a report from the Logansport detective (Mr. Bringhurst) he will ‘act, and we expect him here soon to makeene. - Mrs. Myers is back in the Post Office.

Some time since, the young men of this place organized a Y.M. L. B.— ladies prohibited. The founders of this uncharitable institution claimed they could have a better society without the aid of the ladies. . The girls nodded their “dear little heads” and said, “go ahead boys, m&?ll see.” The result, however, is, the society has run down. There is no use talking, boys; I found out when I was young that we could n’t do without the ladies, and you might far better undertake to go to Europe in a balloan than to try to runaliterary society without the girls. 'We understand they are about to re-organize, and will invite the girls to participate. Bravo! boys, and although our “befter half” says that we are not a marrying man, “w:'e can at least exclaim: God bless the girls! and especially those of Wawaka. Jan. 20. ; RoMEoO.
