Our Lyceum.

Our “Literary or Theatrical” haz ’ gone the way of all the earth, where ‘ the woodbine twineth. Any one can see, if they have read the BANNER for the last few weeks, why this has happened.” Boys who should have been in the organization benefiting themselves and preparing for a better; nobler life, resolutely took back seats and derided other’s attempts to do well and thus bloeked the progressive wheel just as far as they dared. Citizens, among them the trustees of the school, gave their influénece against it. They may say, "they' only refused to find wood for the use of the Lyceum; but that was the last feather on the camel’s back, It is well known tliat lycenms are everywhere encouraged and supported by sehools :u‘ld'.‘s('llooll trustees. But it seems that Ligonier is not content to travel in the same. road that the generality of towns do, for any purpose. Its course l'c'sppci;-f ing the Lyceum is a bad sign for the town and there will be no sweetswelling savor go up from it, . MEMBER.

—-Sheriff ITough is occasionally mentioned as a suitable candidate for Cone gress.. We do not know how Dave ‘ takes to the suggestion,” but since Mississippi has promoted a Sheriff to the United States Senatorship, and an, ebony colored one at that, we don’ti think he should allow his modesty to ‘ peremptorily forbid the use of his name in connection with a seat inthe | (lower) House. -~ . | —The State Superintendent of Public Instru(ftioil has prepared blanks for taking the enumeration of children’ of school age. Accompanying the blanks is a circular addressed totownship trustees, notifying them “of the items they will be expected to report to the State Superintendent next August.

LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS ' ROME CITY ITEMS. -+ A strange character has lately made his appearance in our city with whom many of our citizens have become perfectly infatuated. A few neglect bus‘iness and others forsake their regular meals to enjoy themselves in his eomwany. Appearances would ' indicate ‘that heis possessed of very large soeial qualities, as he sometimes entertainy his guests until a very late hout. Weé are not acquainted with the history of this very motéd character, but we would judgé from his associates and kindsmen that he is very closely allied with sportsmen and gamesters, and we would advise all of our friends to. not become too intimate with him until his true character is more fully developed. Many persons have beén ins 'jll’l';?d in business and cheated by placing too muel confidence in strangers. We would therefore suggest:-that this strangex of casy (t(:q[)(u'uta)me be dealt with cautiously, at least for the time being. It is said that even some females have -formed a° strong attachment for thisnew-comer who hails by the name of —— Pedrol |

I Dr. Gower is making large!preparatipns to have a grand Ball in commemoration of Washington’s birth day. Inasmuch as the 22nd this year comes on Sunday, the Monday following (being the-23d) has been chosen as the time to celebrate that important: event. The invitations have been received from the BANNER' office, and are already extensively circulated.— The Doctor says he makes it’a point to pafroxﬁzc those who patronize him, and inasmuch as the people of Ligonier are always liberal patrons of the Lake Side dances; lie feels ‘in duty bound to reciffrocate in printing, &e. It is believediand expected that there will be alarge erowd and a good time. The Rome City full Band has been engaged for the occasion; further comments on the music is usele¥s.— Ligonier is expected to turn out in force ‘'on that occasien.” =

'él‘)xe L,,wo}k\\'oul'en factories have begun} to gmt things in: order and are preparing for a general start-up and a rushing season’s work. Both factories have d(atcrmiuec‘.l toput theéir machines ry through at full capacity during the coming season.. The Romanités may therefore expect an unusually lively business during the coming season.— Factory "hands are longing for the time to arrive; they have had a good rest. s < :

“Thirty hands are working every day cut’ting‘icc on the Lake, Sundays included, and it will take several weeks yet to pack all the houses full. Ice is one of the established articles of commerce in the fiyture of Rome City.

'One more funerpl during last week. A little 'son of Mr. Israel Ward was buried on Frié_my last. This leaves Mr. W. with no family but a little girl. Lung fever was the cause of the death: = \ e

Hz‘u'ry Buffman, Esq., the celebrated “Round Island fisherman,” has again returned to Rome City. for the time being. Harry is what may certainly be called a jovial cuss. He is making himself useful by running Mr. Jonathan at the ice house during the day, and evenings he tells some good stories and’ assists in entertaining Mr. Pedro.. We learn that Mr. Billings of Ligonier has engaged his future services in the fr;uif tree business. This is

a lucky hit for Mr. B, as larry can beat the.world selling up land "cranberrigs. | o The' Teachers Institute met at the School ITouse here on last Saturday. The Grangers granged again at the School House on Saturday last. The Grand——DMr. Collett was witli them. We understand that they are still increasing in number. We would have very much liked to have met Mr. Collett and learned from the “lips of wisdom” the great object of his order. Mzmy{ well informed persons now. think that grangerism hLas a direct tendency to bring on a war betweenlabor and capital—a war in which the people of this country cannot well afford to engage at the present or any future time. 5 Redi frseian

Mrs. Loomis met with quite an accident to herself, and a fearful one to their horse, last S}Lturday. She, with: two or three little children, was out sléighriding and .in passing a team was crowded out of the road, her cutter turning over and Shrowinf;- them all out. The horse, bécoming frightened, ran against a passing freight train and was thrown into a ditch. Upon examination it was discovered that the animal's back was broken, and to relieve his sufferings he was shot.
