Rome City needs a local preaclier—real, ge'nuine home missionary ; a-man of good character and fluent of speech ; a man who could make himself generally useful through the week and preach on the forenoon and evening of Sundays.

.. KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. - - Our post office’ war revived considerably on the afternoon of Monday last, when it becanie generally known that Col. Bringhurst, a Detective, hadarrived. The Colonel is here to investigate the matter, and we may-ex- | pect some action by the Department | soon. |' He freely admits “that:Sayler jumped the sentiment of the people in | the appointment ‘of C. O. Myers as | Postmaster at this place and explains | how it was brought about. It seems that-Myers first went to Huntington and secured Major Sayler’s signature_ to a recommendation, which he at} ~once carried to Washington and placed in the hands of Billy Williams, whowent personally to the Department and demanded the appbiqtment—notwithstanding’ Billy’s emphatic denial that hefhad anything to do' with the matter. Col. Bringhurst sustains Detective Knapp intvery particular of | his report; says that he was not out of his territory and that its being a’ “private mail” will h&ve no mitigating effect in Myers’ favor. Myers sent out for his friends to appear and try ‘to make a favox;ﬁble impression upon Brii)glmrst, but He could only find four who were willinﬁ to respond to his appeal. They were Kimball, Colgrove, Groh dnd Brillhart, and I judge the impression was not very weighty. The friends of order and honesty have waited long and patiently for the arrival of this detéctive and will fur-

ther await the action upon his report by the Department, but should that prove a white-washing affair then the war will commence in earnest and' it will never cease until justice is satisfied. They know their rights and know how to obtain them. There is alaw that has been violated, and if the Post Office Department ean be'influenced to wink at crime to Isatisfy political cliques, there is a €ourt to which the people may refer their griev#hces and confidently look for justice. Col. Bringhurst ' states, further that Mrs. Myers was ordered. to keep out of the post office and. should never bave gone back there. :

A petition is being quite numerously signed, requesting the Council to investigate the whole matter of building our school-house, the handling of the scheol funds, ete., and have their report published. = It seems thére are certain parties in thistown who think: there was frand practigéfi and tha.t-_‘;ai portion of the funds-dlleged to have been used in the construection of that building went to the benefit of individuals. e s

I hardly think Rev. Father Duehmig ‘would authorize so low and contemptible @ being as Pole-eat'Myers to correct any statement which might be made’ of him; and until it eomes fremsome better source than a post officé eriminal and an out-cast in soeiety, who lhas been scomrged with whips and cat-o-nille'-t"uils, I shall not notice it. [During Q,n" interview with Mr. Duehmig, last Friday evening, the Rev. gentleman assured us that he had nothing whatever to do with the Standard’s correction(!?) The only error which Mr. Duehmig diseovered in Xavier’s statement was the, designation of “soldier” instead of policeman.—ED.] : George Lohman has purchased the property where Mr. Loomis lives, on Mitchell street, for $2lOO. The rumors econcerning the .Rev. Goodman leaving this place are un-. founded.

The farmers of Allen and adjoining townships are requested to meet at the brick school-house in this place, for the purpose of organizing a Farmets’ Home Insurance Company, next Saturday evening at 7 o’clock. Considering the many favorable éxpfessions on this subject, we are inclined to the opinion that such an association’ eannot prove otherwise than a suecess, providing, however, that good, experienced men are selected to take charge of its management. FThe leaders in this movement are in possession of a copy of the constitution and;bylaws of a similar organization in Elkhart' county, which they propose te adopt, with some alterations, for the government of an organization here, should one be effected. Nene. but farm property will be insured by this’ association. . o

I wish to call the attention of the public, and especially the loversof bathing, fo the. following:— 1 have heen engazed for-some time in ‘seifin g BIL Knowltoii’s Universal Rubber Baths, which are the most nicely adapted to the wants and comfort of the bather of any contrivance ever offered to the public. 'Bathing is, by no means, the mush-room offshot ©f one-ideaism ;- ItB beneticial results being proven by the experience of many ages in lalmost every climate, by every race and nation on the earth; and of late among the: mure'cn]i}.‘;htened “and well-bred ¢lasses_of the old world, the bath has become almost a uéccssjty. And well it may be, for the entire surface of the human body is but a tass of deep pores, or numberless channels of intercourse with the outer world, through which lifesgiving or life-destroying atoms are.gonstantly spassing, and the bath'is the principal régnlator and purifier of all these channels. In some of the European countries it is said there are fifty baths whefe there was not one twenty years ;_1;:0."out in a néw ‘country, like America, where a nation is born in -4 day, it is not strange that’some very good _things should he overlooked for a time. Again, the old style bath fixtures are too expensive and .inconvenient to spit the ofi-hand economy of Amer~ icans; few dre willing to payout fromone to three hundred dollars for a bath room and fixtures, or oven to gpend théir time in tempering"both room and water; and few fapcy a set or even one of the heavy. uncouth, roomy, cambersome zinc or copper tubs m{d troqgt}s now. in use, or desire the job of temperingjor bandling the amount of water they require. The Universal Bath effectually remedies these difficultice. Itis a rubber-gaturated cloth vesgel or troigh of texture similar to a diving bell, supported by a wooden rim around the top edge, resling on chairs; being simple but marvélously adjustable and convenient. In one position it affords a good reservoir for a shower bath, and by a moment’s modification in another it is said to be the best sponge or hot bath: in another the best hip bath, and in another the best subniergent or plunge bath in existence, and feqmres but three pails of Wwater to give a full bath, (the rubber fitting close to.the person). It iseasily emplied. ' A child of ten years can manage it. Tt may be uged 4n any room yon may have warm and comfortablie enough 10 bathe in, simply by adjusting each end of the bath on common chairs, and;.{f proper-care is used, need not spill a,*tabl\é-gp,oon?uf" of water; and last but not least, it may. be hung up on the wall, like a cammon garment, out of the way.
