—Our Kendallville friends are considerably rejoiced over the final adjustment of their Tailroad. suits, We have faith to believe that our neighboring town will yet be restored to its former prosperity. lAt least-we. hope so. - 5

—We frequently notice our townyman, K. D. Kerr, and “old Dunbar” engaged in earnest conversation on the subject of brick. Ytlis. reasonable to infer from this that Mr. Ketr contemplates the.erection of a building next sumnier. ;

Michael Mock died in Pleasdnt Viltey, Kosciusko county, January 19, 1874, aged 73 years, 3 months and 11 days. He was the father of 9 ehildren, grandfather of 37, and great-grand-father of 14—total 60. Only five of the grand children are dead. M. Mock came to this country in the early davs:

- —We undetstand that the protracted meetings whieh have been held in * the Christian Chureh d\ﬁ'ing the past ten days, under the nfini'ste_rhd,jsupervision of Rev. J. N. Aylsworth, of Ft.

As I neither drink liquor nor smoke or ! v(’thew tobacco, I think I can save ~ enough pennies to pay the subseription price of the BANNER.” There is a heap of sense in this brief paragraph. —Talk about editors being a quary relsome set of fellows; their combat- ‘ iyeness sinks into utter insignificance ag compared with-fhe anxiety of many 1 not connected with the press to “piteh into”, their fellow:men with whom they may beiat variance.

We venture the assertion that Jake will “do it up brown.” —N. E. Doane, popularly known_ in this section as “Ned,” and who for a number of years resided at Cromwell, was last week® taken to the Lunatic Asylum at Indianapolis.

There are over two dozen articles in the number before us, and no less than fifty superb illustrations. © Address Seribner & Co., 654 Broadway, New York. : —We have a class of people (fortunately very small in numbers) in this town who are not only absolute nullities so far as improvement is concerned, but who render themselves exceedingly obnoxious by reviling and abusing their more progressive and enterprising neighbors. The inactivity of these persons might be overlooked, but their audacity at times becomes almost insufferable. ; , - —We feel like congratulating our citizens upon the zeal and energy displayed during the organization of the Ligonier Building, Loan and Savings Association. After the pli}n was once understood, shares “went off like hot cakes.” By Friday evening all -the shares were tuken, z’t}nd numerous applicants called “for rhore on Saturday morning. This shbws what can he done “where there is a will,”

-—The citizens of Lima township, Lagrange county, held a ni(*etin'g in the school-house of that place, Saturday evening, to dicuss the propriety of raising funds by taxing the township to build a new school-house, to cost $12,500. The Hon. John B. Ifowe offered to build one-half if anv other persons would build the balance, or would give $2.500 besides paying his tax. There was considerable debating on the qilestion, which finally resulted in voting the tax. :

-—Mr. George Adchele, of Kendallville, has gone East to purchase a steam engine and polisher to be used in his marble works. George has been in the business for fourteen years and has gained an enviable reputation for superior workmanship and for 1'101’103‘17,;i square dealing, but with his increased fucilﬁties he will hereafter be able to cut stone for building purposes and do all kinds* of marble-work cheaper | than ever before. We doubt not that it will be to the interest of purchasers to patronize this institution.) —A case’ under the operations of the | Baxter law was tried before Justice Banta on Monday last. Mrs. Elizabeth Schmidt, wife of Wm. F.Schmidt, brouglt suit against ITardenbrook & Wof, retail liquor dealers, for the recovery of $2OO (ianlzxges, which she alleged to haye sustained by reason of the said 11. & W. selling her hilﬁb&n(l intoxicating liquors in violation of the 12th section of the Baxter law. A large @umber of witnesses were examined,and an ent’{ire day devoted to hearing the case.. L. Covell :Lppqeu'ed for ‘the plaintiff, and I. E. Knisely| for defendants.

{ LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS KEN DALLVILLE rLOCALS. ‘The effect of the settlement of our railroad indebtedness on so favorable terms, is already visible in/ the countenances of our,citizens.% Go where you will, and instead of denunciation | you will hear nothing but expressions | of satisfaction at the happy result. This debt has been an ineubys so heavy that men of means have shunned us, and property failed to find a purchaser at one-half its original cost. It has cripplled all enterprises wheré‘; capital was needed. With one of the best-shipping points in the northern part of the State, we had very little to send off as_the products of our mechanics. Men from otlier localities came here and bought timber which should have been worked up at home, but, fortunately for thosé who are {stil];h('r(e, this will all be changed; capital will new find its way here—--Imen of means will come among ux, the retired farmer will move into our city to enjoy the fruits of his labor; money will be invested in manufac}iuring enterprises; the workingman will receive the reward of his labor §'lnl7(»mpt]); the placards, “For Sale,” ‘ will be takegn down, and property will ‘ ereet those who st_riyc for it. - The Gpvernment played a huge joke on ’;\'quigrc, Dunn, of Brimfield. lln giving him the post oflice of that \ll~ lage, it stopped his pension, a turn \\."’hich I hardly think the ’Squire expected or enjoyed. | Jack Flint, one of our foundrymen, has purchased the propoarty wliere he lived for'some time. . The suit which has been commenced by the corporation against the exAreasurer of this city should be investigated Dy the Council, and if it is found upon such examination that the redemption of those school bonds was a bona fide transaction and' that he did not make any money out of the same; that he gave the true value of the bonds, and the profits, if any,went to the city, then the litigation should cease. This much can Be said for the trangaction: that it stopped the.payment by the city vofJ ten per cent. interest épun the Nonds whiCh.: were taken in exchange for money loaned the cityat par. This money lx:ull'l)‘.een laying in the treasury, idle, for some time, and was gathered for the purpose of paying a debt which we were | trying to repudiate, and if'i the above statement is true it was undoubtedly good financiering for the city. |

Our post oflice is statu quo. Myci‘s is still there,and, \)"’hat was feared from the start, Sayler is in favor of his rmnu‘i'ﬁing. The blame is to.be put upon Mrs. Myers. ,She is té!be: the Eve in the case, and C. O. \\_'ih try to escape thereby: The position is one that few men wou'ld take, and T am surprided that Major Sayler endorses it. He admits the crime, but don’t hold the Postmaster responsible.— Whether Myers goes out or not, it has sunk him very low in-the scale of respectability in this place. llis stand'ing in society before this was low enough, but this clinches the whole matter and will follow him to the end of his life. Yet, if reports are true, Myers will have to give up in a fgwf days. * It is said that Sayler will be in favor of an-election, by the republican voters, to designate the Postmaster; if so, the only thing that is needed is for the people to vote. . One gentleman writes, “the mills grind slowly but surely.” o XAVIER.

U WAWARA I'DEMS. : The “chill” continues, so we continue to write, but what shall we write about? Ohyes! -Wawaka is not ‘forgotten entirely by the literary world, tor Mr. Marine of Ft. Wayne has promised to deliver a lecture Wednesday evening, on the “Battle of Civilization.” Those who have heard Marine declare him- to be an able orator. We are glud ‘that he is coming, for we think a lecture on civilization would be a benefit to our town.. Eoo The protraeted meeting at Springfield closed last week, with an addition to their society of twenty-five. Thus the “work goes on.” ] ,

~ Elder Howe commences a protracted meeting her¢ this evening. We trust his success will be as great here as at Eden Chapel.. “Correspondents” " shiould be very careful about eriticising the mistakes of their co-laborers; all are liable to err.,. When we write “locals” we should remember the words in the Good Book: “First cast the beam out of your own eye, that you may more clearly see the mote in our brother’s.”

. We leéarn from one of the members of the Literary Society that they reorganized last Monday evening, adinitted ladies, and had a pleasant time.— Girls, I admit you have been grossly insulted by the boys, by being excluded from the literary, but they have repented at the eleventh hour, so don’t bear malice, but-go :m('i assist them all | you can, with your so‘ligs;‘les_says,ferit—icisns, and smiles of approval. ; It is whispered about town that one of our “Belles” is about to launch forth on the sea of matrimony. Success to you, fair maiden; may your ship be stoutly built, and bear you safely over the dark waters of e, " Is the prophesy of #Alexis” going to be fulfilled ? “Wawaka is degrading ;" —we were about induced to believe so, wlien, on passing up street a few days since, we met two of our ‘boys’ beastly intoxicated. One of them, as he stag- ‘ gered along the street, Xsds heard to exclaim: “I was- (hic) never drunk } (hic)y before in all my life” = Glad of that, young man; and now that you are sober we would be glad to hear you make the resolve anid keep it, that T never again will touch or taste the terrible poison. Intoxication is the worst of all evils; it unfits man for the duties:and stations in lite; it breaks. the hearts of motliers, wives and sisters. 1t brings poverty, disease, shame and death. It makes beggars of our children, and fiends of our men. The Good Templars: Lodge in this and most all the towns in this State have “run down,” but we took the pledge

several years agé, and if we break it we %m women will apply the recipg givenaus grice by an able temperance .Tlectu'rer‘::"ﬁ';“Pofilt_iééfw and blister our head; then shave it.” RomEo. , : S b ~ FROM GREEN TOWNSHIP. ~ Mz. Eplror:—l thought I would give you a few: items from this 1()}0&1— ity on points that mhy possibly be of some interest to the many readers of the BANNER. - r AL In consequence of almost . inressant rain-falls the roads have become fearfully muddy; yet: we <ontinue to ‘move along, slowly. Business being extremely ([u]li,_ we have .mg%le Opportunity to sit avound the fireside, indulging in neighborhood gossip and amusing ourselves as best we can. Saw-mill men are looking very blue; no logs :nd no money. Still, farmers ; and’ mili-men seem -to be contented. You know, Green is a sort of out-of-the-way loeality, its mhabitants experiencing but little of the ups and downs of the world. ~An oceasional dance :x.ndrx\'eviy;il meeting constitute about the lonly things to relieve the i mm’mt(my.f : : ' i Our fschool affhirs are em_in('ntiy satisfactory. We have a young lady teacher, Miss Mattie Barnthaw, who has thus far suceeeded admirably in imparting knowledge to the young folks. Even wading kneée-deep thro’ the mud doés not seem *to ~dimdinish her zeal in the cause of education. “ The Director has returned from a visit to Ohio,.and 1 presume he has gathered sofme bright ideas, fo be promulgated at no distant day. | _Church matters- might be somewhat better. Rev. Masemore has held a protraeted I_llo3ting, but only a comparatively small number of converts have thus far been made. Religious fervor seems about-as cold as mother earth is wet and cold. We hope for better things; for.more puré and true christianity of olden times.: =

A few words in relation to the editorial fraternity. We have, for several weeks, l)eqn no little amused by the perusal of the papers from the West and the Northwest on the issue of the $3.75 matter. One week the one iy thought to be a little ahead, another week the other. Now, breths ren, to us outsiders this matter seems entirely too small to be deserving of so much strife and contention. You had Detter shiake hands across the bloody chasm, as you are of the same family and Drothers in the same cause. ‘ OTTIR.

Eprror BANNER:—I am not much given to criticising the doings of my fellow-men, yet there are times when this becomes a necessity. An occasion for exercising that priVilege présents’ itself in the case 'of the’ men who have control of the building of bridges in this county, and the point of olyjection consists in this, that the jobs are let entirely too late in the season.— Last winter the residents of. this locality were subjected to great inconvenience and annoyance by reason of the fact that the bridge over Forker Creek was permitted to remiain in an unfinished comditi‘ofg, -and in consequence of which Robert Gray came near losing his life. At this time we are similarly annoyed . and discommoded by an unfinished bridge across the creek near James Mullin’s. | This bridge cannot be completed until next spring; hence we will have to put up with fearful crossings all,winter® Of course, I do not blame the men who have the work te do on these bridges, but I do feel like censuring the men’ in authority wiio delayed the contract until so late in the season.” ° | The series of meetings came to a close two weeks ago.
