" —Ham and eggs will soon bein order. ~ —Our excellent old friend, Christian Shrock, of “Old Clinton,” cheered us with a call on Tuesday. —The bad roads, the horrible roads, afforded merchants and their clerks a delightfﬁl opportunity for recreation during the latter part of last week. . —Fritz Sack, formerly of this place but for some years a resident of South Bend, was last week married to Miss Mary Zwilling, of Michigan, who also formerly resided with the Sack Brothers, in this town. - | o

—The South Bend Courier states that a half dozen elegant store-rooms, and quite a number of dwelling houses remain unoccupied in that hitherto flourishing city. The panic made itself heavily felt in Souyth Bend. : ‘There is a 'reusonablyv fair prospect that Hostetter’s building will soon again be opened for hotel purposes. With a good, energetic and obliging landlord, there is little doubt that another hqtel would :pay in this place. —We are happy to announce that Mzr. Caleb E!ldred and his 'son, Theodore, have so far recovered as to both be able to transact business and are again_ behind the counter, ministering to the wants of their numerous customers. Johnny has returned to his “sit,” on the Laporte Argus. —Orders for job work have been rolling in 8o rapidly, during the past two or three weeks, that we have been obliged to employ additional ‘help. Having superior facilities for executing every kind of job printing, we not only furnish first-class work, but give our patrons the benefit of very moderate charges. : —lt may be of some importance to the foreman of the Albion Era office to learn thai} his very earnest letter of Feb. 28, 1874, addressed to his “dear friend” at Kendallville, happened to “drop” somewhere in that city and was mailed to us for perusal and inspection. It contains some “mighty interesting reading” on the county seat flue{stion. ‘ —~baur 'venerable »friend, Abraham King, the other day handed us a copy of the Reading (Berks county, Pa.,) Adler, dated March 3, 1874, which contained this brief but very significant local item: “At the vendue of

~.Jacob Zug, in Millereek township, - Lebanon county, horses were sold at these prices: $241, $250, $238, 8208, - %250, $256 and s24B"——malgng $1,781 for seven horses. . : —Nothing intervening, several building projects are likely to be brought to a successful issue in this place the coming season. We need about fifty new dwelling houses to meet the demand. It is to be hoped that those who do erect such buildings will pay “some regard to convenience and durability, and not invest their mbne_v_ in mere shells that only serve to disgust and aggravate tenants, . —The Columbia City Commercial the other week published the names of those citizens who had appended their names. to petitions for permits to ~sell intoxicating liquors. As might well have beeh expected, quite a comnmotion ensued among those directly concerned. A half dozen or so discontinued their papers, but the vacancies thus occasioned, Bro. Baker says, are rapidly filled by new reciuits. : —We commend this paragraph from the Reading (Pa.) Adlerto the thoughtful consideration of our farmers: “Joseph Zug, of Penn township, Lancaster county, recently sold to Zachariah Minnich twenty-nine sheep, which he has been fattening since last Christmas and which averaged. 202 Ibs. per head, at 8 cents per pound. Some of the sheep were so fat that they could not walk and had to-be carried.” - —By request of many éitizens, the Ligonier Dramatic Company will this evening ' repeat ‘the popular play: “Temptation, or The Irish Emigrant.” The members of this troupe have applied themselves assiduously since their first performance, and we have ‘reason to believe that the entertainment ‘this evening will indicate con- . siderable progress. At any rate, we - have no hesitancy in bespeaking for the company a crowded house. Home talent deserves encouragement. ’ —We call attention to Mr. C. L. Houseman’s card in another column. He has arranged with Prof. Harris to take charge of the Normal School,and in connection with the same .will conduct a graded school. Mr. Houseman will'have personal charge of the high~er grades and will give special attention to those wishing to prepare for teaching. Competent assistants will be employed for the other grades, 0 that all may be accommodated. Ligonier will thus be provided with a graded school during the spring. Let all those interested in building up the educational interests of the town show - their appreciation of these advantages by eneouraging and liberally patronizing this school. (

For pure grif and long-continued patience you ought to go to Toledo. A young lady in that town has sent 116 pieces of poetry to a newspaper, and though all have been rejected, she is struggling with another. - [ i S 500,000 “Star A” Pine Shingles, and 25,000 feet of pine lumber for sale.

LOCAL CONTRIBUTTONS ROME CITY ITEMS., . We learn, from what seems to be reliable authority, that we are to have a depot building here this summer, and, in all human probability, a telegraph office.. So much has been promised, by the superintendent of the G. R. & 1. Railroad, who paid our town a flying visit a few days ago. ' - Elder Wolfinger and his congregation are certainly entitled to the eredit of a great modern reform. When the Elder starts to his appointment at the Gray-back school-house, he takes with him an empty;sack. Each of his hearers (who are probably Grangers) provides himself with a couple of ears of corn and as soon as preaching is over the sack is passed around and each member deposits his “mite;” the Elder then totes it home upon his shoulders, for family use, and the members are satisfied they have done their duty by living up to the adage, “pay as you go.” Some of the local correspondents are urging upon the editor of the BANNER to tell his religious experience. We sécond the motion. The religious experience of almost any editor would be inferesting. But at the same time we have n’t much confidence in trying to get blood out of a turnip. _But, by all means, Mr. Editor, if you possibly can, please 'rise and explain. The lecture of Rev. W.J. Chaplin, last Tuesday evening, on the subject of secret societies, was decidedly a good thing and we hope will be the means of doing good. - :

H. G. Elsworth, Esq., late of Waterloo, lowa, but formerly of New York, has arrived in town for the purpose of superintending the Mafgnet Woolen Mills. Mr. E. comes well recommended as an experienced manufacturer and will no doubt be the right man! in the right place. As Spring approaches, the woolenmill men, likeg biljds _of’trzmsxqigmtion, are returning to their old and favorite haunts and making ready for the summer campaign. .

After a three-months visit in Ohio, Deacon Highbargin and family have returned to their old home and friends. The Deacon looks a little reduced, having, as we suppose, performed an excessive amount of jfatigue duty while absent. e reports that Ohio is fearfully muddy and traveling tiresome. He promised his friends when he arrived there that he would stay as long as their cider lasted, but after finishing the second barrel (as he says) he took an invoice and found there were twelve more to consume. He, therefore, caved in, and, after teaching one term of dancing-school and running the mail train a eouple of times to Pittsburg, he made a partial contract for Trumbull county to be manufactured into bricks for building purposes in Northern: Indiana; and then returned to his .old home. For further particulars, call upon the Deacon himself, who will be happy to tell you what he knows about mud in Ohio. . : :

Billy Holsinger has abandoned the idea of merchandizing in Woleottville. He may yet try his hand in Rome City. o . We are informed in the scriptures that, “a wicked and perverse generation seeketh after a sign and there shall be no sign given them.” We, therefore, take it for granted that our tailor, Clark, must belong to a different generatign, for he has received a beautiful new sign, upon- which is neatly painted, “Geo. W. Clark, Merchant tailor.” g ~ Rumor has it that the Lake Side House is soon to be under the management of Clark Houghton, Esq., its former’proprietor. We will await. patiently further developments. Qur public schools will close during next week. We guess they have been a suecess, at least some of the large boys graduated several days ago. . . The Grangers had a weakly meeting. at the school-house last Saturday afternoon. It looks a little as if the Rome City Grangers are going to “die a bornin’.” C 1

Dr. Teal is down in the heel, he cannot kneel, from effects of a peal he received from the steel of an axe upon the cap of his knee. | The Doe. has for some time been taking a perfect stiff —on one leg—but he is now getting better. : |

Dr. Williams got badly swamped while on his way to see a patient on Dutch street. There being no bottom within speaking distance, the Doctor got fearfully into it. The horse and buggy were with difficulty saved, but after the Doc. was rubbed down and curried and fed, ke came out all right. ‘We have not ’heard from the patient. 'Uncle Kerr says that the turnip matter is all a hoax. He thinks that neighbor Shumway is too good a judge of human nature to pay two shillings a bushel for 7resuscitated turnips. Hank ought to be still. Pedro, the intolerable nuisance, is only heard of occasionally about town. He has perhaps taken the hint that his room is better than his company. He is threatened with prosecution for vagrancy. Ie is also charged with having been accessory to scores of violations of the Baxter law. It would doubtless be well for him at least to make himself scarce in these parts until after court is over. : The Romanites have serious cause for complaint on account of irregularity of their mails, and if this is continued the authorities at Washington will certainly be notified. Scarcely a day passes but what our mails are carried by. Letters from Michigan we get from the* south, and letters from the south are returned from the north. On Friday last (as often before) we received our Ligonier and Albion papers by the 12:31 train from the north. We frequently receive our Chicago dailies from the north on the next day after publication, having been carried by the eyening previous. Our mail agents, at least some of them, must be ag slow as the wrath of God, and ought’ to be hurried up or dis‘missed. It seems to us that the office at Kendallville could assist materially by putting the Rome City mail all in one package. Something must be done to remedy the matter, or we shall insist upon a new deal of officers. o . ALEXIS.

KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. ' The re-location of the county seat is the all-absorbing topic with us, and while the different points in the county aspiring to be the place selected are being discussed, the claims of Albion are occasionally brought into the controversy, and the benefits and privileges the people of this county have received from that ancient burg are also occasionally mentioned. It is conceded by all that the people of this county have been remarkably indulgent toward Albion in permitting their county business to be transacted in so uninviting a place and so difficult of access as the present county seat. While other towns in the county have grown to be .important commercial and geographical centres, so far as population is concerned, Albion, with the wealth of the county pouring in upon her, has failed to make any great progress. But while the town has failed to greet its benefactors, (the people of the county, as they have been called there to deposit their annual tax) with improvement and thrift, an investigation into the private affairs of some of lits citizens have shown that large fortunes have been piled up, and that the wealthy, professional class of the county largely live at Albion, and how different the ruling sentiment of this wealhy class at that place compared with others in the county. Have they expended their wealth to the advancement of the county’s property there? Do we find churches, school-houses, hotels, business blocks angt dwellings which are an ornament to the county and do much toward enhancing the value of the real estate of the county ? We'find no such things. A penurious disposition has been the controlling sentiment with them, and when they talk about the “withering effect” of a tux.upon the people, the facts show that they are only opposed to one in which they are not directly interested. They seem to dyell quite lengthily upon Kendallville’s indebtedness and her broken "promises, all, of which may be answered by saying that when we get the county seat and'the county furnishes us in wood we may then be able to comply more strictly with our promises, perhaps. It is generally understood that the people of Albion, if the county seat remains there, will soon call upon the county to erect new and more imposing buildings for county purposes, and I can assure the old farmers that they will be called upon to pay, in taxes, each his portion, and that the moving of the county seat to this place would not impose any greater taxes upon the people than if it remains wliere it.is, and I ‘think the taxes would be less, for Kendallville will doubtless make a liberal donation to the county for the erection of said buildings. | Like the old county poor-house and barn, we will soon be called upon to exchange them for new and more commodious structures.

The Common Council is largely in favor of withdrawing the suit commenced against the ex-treasurer .of the corporation at the last term!of ‘court. ‘ ' The delegation to Ligonier on last Monday afternoon returned - highly 'pleased with their visit. It would be well if these little social visits were made more frequent. It is said that the Grange of this place is in a very flourishing condition, quite a number being initiated at each meeting, which is, I believe, orice a‘week. Ly ‘John R. Smith was appointed city marshal, by the council at' their last meeting. ' Al Ringle has been appointed constablg, - : el - Our foundry has a job of furnishing fifty thousand pounds of castings, which they are rapidly turning out. Kendallville can take the county seat if she loses six hundred petitioners in the six townships through which the two railroads crossing at this place pass, providing she can get the balance. L WA

SUNNY SIDE NOTES. | | The past week has been March weather in every sense of the term ; sunshine . and shade, snow, rain and mud. But, notwithstanding wind and weather, things have been on the move in eur neighborhood. 4 ; TLouis Billman has moved out, and Ira Hostetter in. Fred. Huber has recovered sufficiently to move about the house and. yard a very little, which is a pleasant sight to his neighbors. By the way, Fred’s smoke-house burned down one day last week, but fortunately the contents were saved ‘with but litte damage. cog i ol ‘ | ~ Uncle John Smith of the Haw Patch, is still gradually growing weaker; ~ We were reliably informed last Friday that the Cerebro Spinal Meningite3 had made its appearance in Wawaka,in the family of George Jones; which caused a shudder to passover us, as the very mention of that disease | always does. Our only knowledge of it was in Central Ohio, where it prevailed to an alarming extent for several seasomns 1n succession. And of the many victims, but two lives were spared, one of them being left totally blind, and the other a helpless cripple. We imagine from reading the last. week’s Era, that. Gene. Landon’s report concerning the removal of the county seat in the BANNER of the 26th ult., was .intentionally incorrect, or else he was ignorant’ of the facts in the case. e -~ We are not prepared to say just how Elkhart views the matter, but think we would be safe in saying that a petition for Ligonier would receive more than a complimentary number of names. . The fourth Sunday and Saturday preceding, in this month, is the regular Baptist meeting days at our school house. Elder Thomas is expected to be in attendance, b ‘ - We met our genial friend,Ford Baily, ‘omthe streets of Wawaka the other day, his face beaming with joy. On tmaking' inquiry of his unusual pleasant countenance, he informed us that

he was the “parient” of a handsome baby boy. We congratulate Ford, and hope his son may grow up to manhood and be an honor to his parents, and an ornament ip society. e ‘Rev. Howe,of Wawaka, informed me the other day that on turning his plate up to fill his inner man at Bro. John Taylor’s last' Sunday a week, a twenty dollar greenback unexpectedly met his gaze. His many warm friends of Eden had donated it, and adopted this plan of surprising him. A lucky meal, that, for friend Howe. He further told me that at three other places: Roy’s school house, Jordan streét and Brimfield, like donations were made. The whole amount received, netted the neat little sum of one hundred dollars, for which he tenders sincere thanks. He further stated that about twenty young men of the neighborhood of Wawaka turned out and chopped him quite a pileé of wood one day last week, for which, of course, he is duly! grateful. : - AH S

_The Purim Ball, Again. Owing to the limited space alloted us last week and the great hurry with which our reportorial task had of necessity to be performed, our notice in last week’s BANNER of the Purim Ball held here on the 3d inst, was in several respects incomplete and inadequate to the occasion. A few additional observations “may, therefore, not come amiss this week: .

The charitable purpose for which this ball was given is deserving of the energy displayed by our young friends, artd we doubt not that the “Hebrew Orphan Asylum of Cleveland” received a check of considerable amount to add to.the comforts of those children bereft of their natural support. It appeared as if each and every one of our pretty young ladies vied with the others in presenting an ”appearamc_e that would be the envy of not a few city belles. Besides the. young 'ladies of whom we made mention last week, we might add Miss Lou. Lauferty, of Goshen, who was dressed in black handsomely trimmed with white lace, and wore flowers in her hair; Miss ‘Strouse, white tule, in train, trimmed with flowers, pink silk waist trimmed with white lace; Miss Hamlin, of Kendallville, green silk, trimmed neatly with black velvet; Miss Kingsly, of Kendallville, in black silk, with white overdress, pink silk waist, trimmed with black lace; Miss Esther Baum, pink tarleton, trimmed with a profusion of flounces and puffs, white ostrich lip in-hair; Miss Franks, in brown cashmere, -with pink waist; Miss ‘Caroline Gerson, green" dress, handsomely trimmed ; Miss Mary Myers, in a pink dress trimmed with white lace; Miss Viola Dodge, in an elegant green and- black silk skirt, with black silk redengote, silver flowers in hair, ete. | _ Too much praise cannot be given Mr. L. Schloss, who!' furnished the supper, and which was by farthe best spread our citizens (those who were favored) ever had the pleasure of sitting down to. ey In conclusion, we would remark that our Jewish young friends deserve great credit for the manner in which everything was attended to, not even the minutest detail being left undone that would add to the comfort and pleasure of their guests; and wishing themjevery success in the future, as has attended them heretofore, we take pleasure in'being their OBSERVER.
