Ritterband, the obliging cashier of the Citizens’ Bank, has heen designated Deputy Treasurer for the collection of county and state ‘taxes. The appointment is a good one.

—Eugene -Landon, of Albion, was in town on Tuesday. Ile says while a few execitable individuals are rather boisterous about the county-seat question, a lzu'gé majority of the people take a very philosophical view of the situation. He denies the report that the town is in a frenzy of excitement. . —P. 'W. Adams, Esq., formerly a resident of this place, is the principal editor of a very handsome sheet called the Northern Granger, just established at Lansing, Mich. 'The paper is well edited and is likely to obtain an extensive cireulation. '

—A crow-bar for digging post-holes ‘was lost between the town of Ligonier and Wood’s School House'last Tuesday afternoon. The honest findert will confer a favor by réturning the implement to Aaron R. King or leaving it at Chapman’s hardware es-— tablishment. £

—ln order ti)gmeet the requirements _of our patrons, we have purchased a ‘ new, large “Globe’ Job Press at an expense of $6OO. *This will enable us | to turn out job work at a much greater speed than has hitherfo been possible. The press will be operated by - steam power. . © —The Indianapolis Journal aunounces that State Auditor Wildman +is sending to the several county auditors prepared blanks for use in making the assessment of personal property and capital stock for 1874; and to the railroad companies throughout the Stite blanks for their use in making returns of property for taxation. —We find the following going the rounds in our State exchanges: “Under the new revenue law of the State, Jands and lots r{emaining unsold at the regular delinquent tax sale can be sold at private sale, and any person applying to the Auditor, and paying the amount due is entitled to a certificate of purchase, the same as though it had * Leen bought at public sale.”” © —The ILigonier Dramatic Company g:n"e an entertainment in Kann’s Hall last evening to quite a large audience, The piece rendered is entitled “Temptation, or the Irish Emigrant.” It was - generally conceded that, considering the short time the troupe had for relxéarsal{ the several characters were very creditably performed. There is SOMEe excelfent talent in the Company ; a little practice will inspire confidence and enable thes. {cmake their enterainments rirst-clags.. =~ . :

—We regret to state that gur worthy townsman, Mr. Caleb Eldred, severely sprained both ankles in descending the stairs to the cellar of his drug store on Monday ‘afternoon. The injury sustained -therefrom rendered him incapable of transacting business, and his son Theodore being still confined to the house, Johnny was telegraphed ‘for to take charge of thestore. The latter arrived here on MTuesday and will remain until his father and brother recover sufficiently to attend to business. = ]

—“We take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to the new advertisement of the Eagle Manufacturing Company of South Bend, to be found in this issue of the BANNER.— This Company is prepared, with all the latest styles of machinery, to turn out everything, from a wooden match'safe to a complete mansion, in short order, and in a manner which they warrant to, suit their customers. We have no hesitation in recommending the gentlemen composing this firm as men of responsibility and experience ‘in their business.

i The Pariny Ball. o In accordance with a custom which ‘has become general throughout the world among the Jewish race, our He~ brew young men celebrated the anniversary of the deliverance of the Jews from the hands of Haman, by the beautiful Queen Esther, on “Purim” (March 3d), by a grand ball at Kann’s Hall. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the beauty and wealth of our town was well represented, as also visitors from Goshen, Kendallville and other places. - The justly celebrated Hull and Arnold’s Quadrille Band discoursed sweet strains from the most popular authors of the day, and to the enchanting music of Strauss, Offenbach, Balch and Von Weber the gay and merry throng tripped the “light fantastic” until the: wee hours of morning. Among the most beautifully dressed young ladies were, Miss Paulina Hyman (latély arrived home from New York), who wore a rich, black® gros grain, with train and bugle fringe trimming, blue satin waist with white “point lace,” and silver flower ornament in her hair; Miss Fannie Mier in a very elegant white “tule” with corn-colored satin trimmings, corncolored satin waist, her hair in rolls and puffs and carrying a natural bouquet; Miss Addie Maas, of Chicago, in a black silkj beautifully trimmed hair in rolls, ahd with her majestic figuré every inch the queen; Miss Pauline Picket in a rich black silk—long train—elegantly trimmed, white lace collar covering the shoulders over pink satin, and a mumber . of other pretty and handsoinely-dressed young ladies, too numerous to mention. Of the married ladies, Mrs. Ritterband wore a rich, black gros grain with white overdress embroidered in silk and crape flowers, hair in high rolls and puffs, jet spray and flowers; Mris. Jacob Straus, also attired in black silk, elegantly trimmed, with a lace shawl gracefully thrown around her shoul;ders, her hair done up with braids and white silver flowers; Mrs. Jonas Decker, black grenadine over black silk, hair in braids and a roll—two curls falling over her shoulders—which was very becoming; - Mrs. Sol. Mier, in a black gros grain, trimmed richly with lace, hair in puffs and braids; Mrs. Lauferty, of Goshen, black cashmere, | beautifully trimmed, with point lace : collar, and diamond jewelry;. Mrs. Keller, of Kendallville, black dress, trimmed with side plaiting and bows,

point lace collar and shawl gracefully around her shoulders, coral jewelry; Mrs. M. Straus, black gros grain, prettily trimmed with luce; Mrs. Wertheinier, in elegant wine-colored silk, richly trimimed; and many, many others whoimn space prevents our particularizing, who looked charming, and on the whole it were a difliculit task to choose any one, where thert were so many “queens.” o The gentlemen all wore the regulation evening dress suit, with kid gloves. ‘ One of the novel features of the evening was the anties of five young gentlemen who, during/the intermission, masked themselves as “Pantomimé”and created considerable amusement with their frolies. A ' The floor was managed by Mr. M. )L Ritterband, ably assisted by Mr. P . Magnus and A. Goldsmith. 'Tis needless to say that the ball was a success and each and every one well pleased with the evening’s entertainment. OBSERVER.

Farmers’ (‘.l‘u;b.‘ . The regular monthly meeting of the Perry Farmers’ and Workingmen'’s Club for February, was held at the Town lall, on Saturday last at 10 o’clock’ A. M., Vice-President George Keehn in the chair. Minutes of January meeting read and approved.— Minutes of December meeting read for information of members absent at that time. = : A resolution was passed that the wives aid daughters of the members of the Club be invited to participate‘ in their meetings. The finance com- ‘ mittee made a report which was adopted. After discussion it was decided that the Secretary assign subjects for essays, &c., on topies of interest to the Club for future meetings. -He therefore gave to J. P. Rogers the subject of fruit culture, to George Keehn the best methiod of corn culture, and to D. E. Damy the subject of taxation, to ‘be reported at next meeting. It was proposed by J. B. Stoll that the subject of cheese and butter making be brought up at another session. The subiject of “I'he objects of our organization” given at a former meeting to A. Humphreys will be expected at the next meeting and will be in order until delivered. i : - The next monthly meeting will be on the last Saturday of March, at 10 o’clock A. M. i H: R,

—Prof. Wilson, the colored “gentleman” who was last week announced to address the people of Ligonier on the -question of education and civil fights, made his appearance on Tuesday last. He declined to deliver his promised lecture, for the alleged reason that “proper notice had not been given.” In this the colored “gentleman” lied, and his general conduct while here indicates that heis either a first-class humbug or an imposter, of both. The manner in which he introduced himseélf as an “educated gentleman” and the general impudence which characterized his conduct, gives risé to the suspicion that he cares more, for his private purse than he does for the elevation of the “downtrodden (?) negro.” '

—Our faithful old “Carlo,” aged over twelve years, and a native of the Old Keystone State, is no more. A stubborn physical disarrangement rendered it necessary to end poor “Carlo’s” existence. : ' - Earliest Potato Known. Extra Early Vermont, seven to ten days earlier than anrly Rose.

LOCAL CONTRIB U.:‘ajgt;ws _ 'ROME CITY ITEMS.' | Inasmuch as our last week’s scribble was not received in time for publication, we will hereafter trust the conveyance ‘to “Uncle Samuel,” and further, inasmuch;as local items about Rome are almost as scarce as hen’s teeth, our communication this week will be quite brief. ; ; A Sabbath 'school has been organized at the Baptist church, under the superintendency of Father Markham. It starts out quite flourishingly. 5 i Elder Wolfinger preached on Saturday night last to 4 small congregation at the Gray-back school house. * Kerosene was scarce and the sermon quite J brief; the singing was good. The Elder contemplates moving to Wawaka. |

A little sensation was caused on Saturday evening last, by quite a number of ladies appearing on the streets. It was at first thought that it was a traveling prayer meeting, in search of liquor saloons, but'later advices proved that it was only a few ladies. making friendly calls. It is thought to be extremely doubtful if there can be enough praying women found in our city to formi a: quorum for such business. ' Kerr's Island was illuminated on Saturday night. The dry leaves on fire made a beautiful light. The marsh north of town, shared the same fate earlier in the week. St ,

Ice harvest in our place, is’now entirely over, and the business indvefinite-‘ ly postponed, subject to the will of Providence. : : The Magnet. Woolen Mills will be Jhumming the tune of “clothe the naked” in a very short time. - L. IL Green, Esq., of Ligonier, was in town .on Saturday last, insuring against '!the calamities of fire. Also Uticle Bliss, of Albion, paid us a flying visit on the same day. We gave our readers notice a week or two ago that the ‘com'ty-se‘a‘i:’ question was surely.coming, and now let every voter prepare /tQ act justly ;fmd intelligently, for the time of action'is yery near even at the door. _ Deputy Sheriff Foster was in town on Friday:i He laughs at the idea of removing!the county-seat, but at the same time we thought he felt a little scared. ; . Mr. Elston and wife returned: last week from a protracted visit to the eastern States. S Ay

A large portion of the lLake is free from ice. Large fish now begin to nibble. ' : . J. T. Overton, Esq., formerly of the Magnet Wooken Mills, but late of Mansfield, Ohio, returned to this place on Monday last. Rumor has it that Joe would be willing to remain providing he could be reinstated in his old “posish” as boss ‘carder. Joe is a good workman and a bully boy. il John Comer, the celebrated mule driver of the Rome City Woolen Mills, returned from Van Wert, Ohio, last Monday evening. He is in good condition and looks as though he had been well wintered. The Rome City Mules would be a dead loss without their Johnny. We most cordially welcome him home. Ex-Deputy Sheriff Fred. Acus and ex-Treasurer Mendenhall paid our town a friendly visit last Monday, but we can liardly believe that the remoyal of the county seat had anything to do with their mission. - Let no one fail to remember that Rev. J. W. Chaplin lectures at the Baptist Church this'(Thursday) evening. The lecture is free and will be a rich treat. The funniest thing in relation to the removal of the county Seat is the idea of creating a new county and making Ligonier its county seat. . ALEXIS.

KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. " T really ought to quote a little Bible for the “Squire’s” amusement. Such passages as the following might have an indirect application, and I believe he will be able to see the point: ' “By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou earn thy bread.”—“Thou shalt not steal,” and I have neo doubt in his search for passages in that book he will come across many which will profit him much to remember. o | ‘The prospect seems to be good for having a fruit-drying establishment erected here this coming summer. " The county-seat question has been pretty. generally discussed during the last week, and it only needs an organization to put the ball in motion in earnest, all of which will take place

soon. : : -~ Rumor has it that Mrs. C. O. Myers has been ordered to keep:out of the post office again. “Cost” Thomas and Unecle Ben. Jones have finally traded places, and each has taken possession of his respective property., - & ¢ : Nick. Newnhm of Lagrange county intends taking up his residence in this place soon. - - j T. P. Kessler was:in town on Tuesday last. He warmly espouses the moving of the county-seat to Xendallville. . : : A little twenty-four hours old baby was left upon the door-step of M. M. Bowen, on last Saturday night, all nicely done up in a basket., A note accompanied the little forsaken, asking that he be well cared for. .If is now at the house of a Mr. Adams, which, I presume, will be unsatisfactory to the parties, as they intended it to live in a brick howuse, and, I ‘presume, become the adopted heir of

Mace’s property. B . Our breach of promise case will probably come off this term of court. If they could postpone it we might have it all to ourselves, and not affect Albion with our troubles, as youknow l it is within the probabilities that the next term of court will be held at Kendallville. : : -, A tall reverend looking gentleman delivered a temperance lecture on Monday evening, at the Presbyterian church in this place. He talkeéd about the martyred Lincoln? the hydraheaded monster, Slavery; the free colored Ameri¢dns whom we could | take by the hand as our equals; the

three hundred thousand boys in blue who laid @own their lives for their country, and finally ended up with some pretty hard hits upon the saloonist, and then received in nickles $4.40, and went on his way rejoicing. | XAVIER.

f 'SUNNY SIDE NOTES: The election for determining t§ge location of our new school houseNof which we made méntion in our- last, passed off quietly last Saturday. afternoon,resulting in favor of retaining the present, or old site, which does not of course meet our approbation. But | being imbued with republican sentiment; holding that the majority rule in most cases, we cheerfully submit. The jvote 'stood nineteen for-retention, and seven for removal. This is a “scooping out” we little expected, but ‘are perfectly willing that our opponets should chuckle over their grand achievement. But remember, bgi{s, it is “a long lane that has no turn.”" Our friend and neighbor, Frederick Huber, is having quite a severe attack of lung fever; it is thought, however, . that the symptonis indicate. a change for the better. ‘i{obert Fox’s little daughter, Barbara, whose health is delicate at all times, has been yery sick for a short timae past, but at this writing is convalescing. With these two exceptions t]i%% health in our neighborhoodis good. 4 - A. G. Gibson_has been appoivnte..d assessor for this (Elkhart) township. We think Mr. Bruce has displayed considerable wisdom in this choice, as Give is a man with excellent judgment, and one who merits and has the ,g?_od opinion of the .people generally.

“The meeting at our sc¢hool house last Thursday evening for the purpose of organizing a Farmers Club was not so'largely attended as was anticipated, but a much greater interest was manifested tlian at any previous time. D. H. Reynolds, of the Perry Club, was present, and delivered a very interesting little speech, after which several names _wez're registered, and a motion made to meet at Springfield to-night, (J\londay,) and effect a permanent organization. A H.S.

. CROMWELL SPARKLES. - ‘There Is considerable excitement among the citizens of this viecinity about the removal of the county seat. We have, however, but few remarks to make on the subject. Should the interegted parties be successful in securing the removal, Kendallville will be the point of location, for at least half of Spart& will vote for that point. However, Sparta will be a unit for Albion in the first place, but we would just ag soon see Ligonier bit a little in that way as any other; and, furthermore, all wggfhave to say to LigoJ;ier is, go on with your scheme, Sparta is all Id¢ht. ' ] - The iio’ads in this locality are good now, especially when you get to them. Cromwell ‘boasts of having an icehouse this season. We expect to keep cool. : L { - (. R. Wiley & Co. are preparing: to build a large business house this summer. : : i -Protracted meeting is now in full blast, under the managemént of Rev. Sale. We hope much good may be accomplished. ' b » We are expecting to hear the réligious experience of the BANNER editor this week. ! / I One of our citizens the other day cencluded that it was cheaper to marry than to hire a girl;’ .The result was, he took his duck to the Parson’s, had a few words said, and the twain were made one. May good luck aftend them.. : _

The sugar-making season is, hLere and our rural friends are in the business. Sl DALE. WAWAKA TIDINGS. | ' I noticed an article two weeks ago, entitled: how to write for papers, and it was so suggestive .of brevity, making points boiling down, &c.sthat I do not dare to wrile more than a short local. ~ Instead of snow banks this winter, we }mvig banks of wood, and ties, the whole length, in double eolumns, of our ' railroad grounds. Wooden ties now seperate, instead of bind together, our little town. o ; | We wish John Zimmerman would get on some “of those little axes, for women in delicate health, to split their stove wood with. : 1 Since -the temperance crusade lis talked of so. much, and our protracted meeting i§ instituted, red. noses seem to disappear; our saloon is dark, and the proprietor thereof is seen with his wife at church. : Our heart and hand go with those noble women who dare to doright, and go around with the beautiful weapons of prayer and song, against the 'great national evil. - ‘ .

The meeting in the M. E. church is still in progress, numbers are reclaimed and converted. Husbands are going with their wives; they begin to think that the warden who stands at the wicket, will not let them come to heaven upon their wives’ tickets. Wawaka is happy over saw-dust side-walks, se clean, and soft, to tread upon. “*7 ' PROGRESS.

A new order called the Sovereigus: of Industry has been started. ~The order is made up of all the working clasges, whether farmers or meehanics.— The objects are nearly the same asthe grangers. A Sub-Council was formed in Chicago last week. Tle initiation fee is tiwo dellars. We are not sure but that it is more of a political movement than that of the Patrons of Husbandry. ; '

ALL persons wanting a good Buggy, Carriage, Lumber Wagon, or Plow, should call at the agricultural room of E. B. Gerber, who sells ‘home made’ articles of Ligonier' mechanics. " Every article warranted. > Engel & Co., the popular Clothiers and Merchant tailors, at Kendallville, are closing out their stock of overcoats and other winter goods at less than value, in order to make room for a large stock of spring goods. *

. An immense stock of Wall Paper jast received at ‘Neott & Sandrock’s. : #

! e A Card. ; . . Pegey Twr., Inp,, Feb, 22, 1874, . MR. EpiTor:—l wish through the ; columns of your excellent journal to | call the attention of the public to the %Ireat service rendered my son by the orth-Eastern Indiana Medical Society. My son having suffered for years with enlarged tonsils to such an extent as to render him wunable to speak plainly, and even run great risk 0{ losing his life, to such an extent tha his mother had at times to wake him from sleep, to prevent him from smothering. I was induced to bring him before the Medical Society, at its meeting held at Ligonier, on December last. After consultation it wasdecided that the only remedy was to remove them, which#vas done at the time, before the meeting. The improvement has been so prompt and decided that he is now almost entirely cured; he speaks quite distinetly. I therefore advise all who have-children suffering with like difficulties, to go at once and have them removed, and'you will never regret it; but be as lam, very thankful for the benefit received. 3 j J. P. ROGERS.

A New Enterprise--Kendall's Patent Steam Feather Renovator. - J. C. West, proprietor of the above, comes to us from Valparaiso (where he is recommended by the press and people, and where he has renovated for over thres hundred families to the entire satisfaction of all) and has put up his renovator in the old Hostetter building, on Cavin street, where he has within the past three weeks reno‘vated for about seventy of the leading families of Ligonier. The public are invited to call. and see the machine in operation, and bear in mind that it is not the healthiest thing in the world to use feathers more than two or three generations without renovating them. Therefore, for the sake of health, comfort and purity, have your feathers renovated. ; S

" NEw and elegant styles of Spring clothing, in vast quantities and great variety, are about to take their places on the shelves amd counters of J.
