—A Virginia editor has come to the conclusion that a man might as well undertake to hold himself at arm’s length and then turn a double somersault over a meeting-house steeple, as to attempt t 6 publish a paper that will suit everybody. Our own experience enables us to givethis view zm unqualified endorsement., bies —lt will be hard work for one of artistic ‘taste to pass H. R. Cornell’s photograph gallery without stopping to notice the new sign before the door. The frame is a good design of itself, and with the @iézres ‘placed therein, the exs%tgn and %13&1 of which most canmot equal, and but very few excel, gives the whole an appearance of taste worthy of the best artists. 11. R. is one. :

—An exchange truly says: It costs less than a cent a day to take your weekly paper—less than a dilligent hen could earn in a yearat the market price of eggs; léss than one cigar a week and a very cheap one at that; less than the barber would .charge by the year to keep one’s. hair trimmed; less than a good sized thanksgiving turkey; less than a seat one night at the opera; less than an energetic kitchen girl will waste in a week. A penny a day can be saved in many a way better than by stopping a family paper. ; ! : —Just how near our former townsman, S. W. Dodge, came being burned out, is thus related by the Lagrange Slandard: “A fire was discovered in the basement of the Brown House on Saturday, in a room where Mr. Vaughn had bestowed his bed clothing and other goods saved when his hotel burned. A large crowd was promptly at hand, and the fire suppressed before any damage was dene the building. The goods were considerably damaged by the drenching they got and partial burning.; It appears that a stove-pipe bole in the chimney in the basement was zofon, and the strong wind that prevailed drew sparks down the chimney from the fire flues above.” G s S

LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS - ® ROME CITY NEWS. - From time immemorial, upon the opening of Spring we have been used to hear an elegant game of grumble from the farmers on account of the prospective f{ailure of their wheat crop. But from every indication at the present writing, their grumbling this time is not without foundation. Warm rains and fine growing weather may revive the injured crop to a certain extent, but there is no use in disguising the fact that the wheat prospect for the coming harvest is rather discouraging in this vicinity, yet we believe our prospects are quite as good as in some other localities. :

* Theodore M. (Dora) Lane has purchased a house and lot from I. N. Bury, in the seuth part of town, and has ‘become a permanent freeholder of Rome City.. We bope Dora will now steady himself and become an honored and useful member of the city. I © Rome City Lodge, No. 451 F. &A. Magons, contemplate celebrating the anniversary of St. John the Baptist, on the 24th.of June next. SHould it be the decision of said lodge to carry out this project, we will speak of the matter in detail at some future time. The Kendallville firemen have been completely horned by the remains of the Rome City Band. The Kendallville people can now prepare for the affliction of the training of a new band. O, deliver us from those melodicus discords and unearthly squeaks of an incipient band, before that eventful time at which they can begin to imitate “Home, Sweet Home.”

Elder Blanchard (Baptist) baptized seventeen converts at Wolcottville on Sunday last. | The Methodists have abandoned the idea of holding a protracted meeting in Rome City this spring. They doubtless think “no good can come: out of Nazareth.,” = ; Daniel Amsden, the celebrated brick maker of Ligonier, took a peep at our town for the first time last Monday. Dan, we believe, averages about three hundred avoirdupois. - May his shadOW never grow less. . ’Squire Wn. Dixon is underpinning and fixing up-his Rice property in quite a creditable manner. Thig is at least one evidence of enterprise and prosperity in our city. : ' Fishing has been remarkably dull for some’time past. George Shuey knows where they roost and sleep and he beats ’em all bringing in the shad. We'learn that J. Calvin llall is to be sole proprietor of the Rome City Flouring Mills for at least one year to come. L. R, we believe, is to be head boss of the Woolen Mills. o

Syl eget B D R R S e Bias Holsinger commences this week to deliver fresh meats to the Romanites. Verily, oppesition is the life of trade. s i , Trustee Osloo;rn and Director Teal had an elegant”game of talk on school matters last Monday. What their conclusions were with regard to a summer school is at present unknown tous. ¢ ; : The jacks in the Magnet Woolen Mills are hereafter to be run by mules, indeed, mule drivers are becoming quite popular and’command good wapos. . L. G Elsworth, Esq., the new superintendent of the Magnet Woolen Mills, has a bird dog that has almost as much sense and a great deal more manners than some men we know of, and we are no great lover of dogs either. . Dr. Rabey thinks seriously of leaving Rome City, not from want of practice, but for reasons which-are entirely satisfactory to himself. We have not learned where the Doc. thinks of locating. lle thinks “it is not all of life to live” o " Duck shooting will soon be in full blast. There are now plenty of these web-footed fgwori,tes onthe lakes, both here and west of town.

John Bigler, our dry goods man, talks of leaving Rome City and going to some larger and better town. We hope he will give up this notion; he is one of our best citizens and we have but few such to spare. We: would much rather have another dry goods store than to lose John. - Some of the Romanites are receiving goods marked with a skull and cross-bones and labelled, “poison.” If poison always kills, some people had better look out, for this kind of goods are arriving by the jug-full. - The people here are somewhat divided on the county seat question. A majority, we presume, are in favor of removal, but Albion has some warm advocdtes here, and there is some prejudice against Kendallville. -We don’t, think, however, that there will be many fights nor any suicides over the matter in Rome or vieinity. If twenty-one crows, all in one flock, and the death of the veritable woodchuck will not bring Spring, then we would like.to know what wounld. All this happened here within the past week. :

KENDALLVILLE LOCALS.

One of the best “notes” of the county seat campaign, so far, was got off by V. C. Maines, on his way over to Al bion the other day. During the ride in the “hack” from Brimfleld he re marked to one of the passengers, loud enough so the driver should hear, that | young Vanderbilt,who is stopping here | considerable, would give $5,000 as incidental expenses toward moving the court house to this place, and further remarked, that his father, the Commo-. dore, did not think very much of that Baltimore & Ohio railroad, any way. The news spread like wild-fire, and, for a time, produced much consternation in that little burg, all of which was very enjoyable to the author. As far as the “Squire” and I are concerned, it.is all right, and I am really pleased that he is post-master at that place. I only wish we had as good a one; and would be willing to trade off ours, and pay some boot in the bargain, for an exchange with Brimfield. Ben. Barnhart got quite a number of new subscribers for the. BANNER, on Saturday last, at this place. ° Johnny Eichart, who has been assisting H. Krueger-in his liquor store, for some time, has the delirium tremens, and is not expected to recover. The programme of the ladies’ temperance movement in this place is, to get those who have signed the petitions of those who are selling, and, in fact, all others, to take a pledge that they will do so no more, and if any refuse, they will propose a season of prayer, which, it is thought, will have the desired effect. b Ede. Fisher made our town a visit last week. He told us about Dr. Gow‘er’'s neutrality on the county seat business. , : o The fishing season has commenced l in earnest on Bixler’s lake. Tt is illu-

minated nightly, and a seventeen pounder was pulled out a few evenings ago. , The Rev. Ervin will leave soon for conference. ; ' - - Mrs. Wells thinks she has got a sure thing on the drug store. The doctor is sanguine that he can explain it all, and tell just how it was. Mace Bowen has found the daddy of the cast off baby, and, I should also say, the mammy too. : ‘ 'fhere will be a wedding one mile south of this town soon. - Taxatien seems to be the big argument used against the moving of the county seat. I would advise the people of this county to investigate this ‘matter and not be deceived. Sam. Foster may be seen almost any day in this town, hunting up witnesses in the various cases that dre to be litigated at Albion, during the present session of the county court. i XAVIER. -

AVILLA JOTTINGS. i The county-seat question is the allabsorbing topic of conversation with the citizens and tax-payers if thiscommunity. I have watched with much interest which way the tide plows and am compelled to announce from an entirely independent standpoint that the most prominent citizens and heaviest tax-payers say: Let the county seat remain where it now is. Kendallville being in the north-east corner of Noble county, is not, according to its geographical situation, entitled to the countyseat, and its location there would be an injustice to the people in the southwestern part of the county. The argumentithat Kendallville is: the nearest point to tlre centre of population and wealth, is mere nonsense. It is not now so, nor will it ever be. The B. & C. R. R. draws near its eomplevion and the tide of emigration will naturally follow that direction. Ilhave carefully interviewed the most prominent citizens in Allen Jefferson Swan and Green townships, and can assure the friends of removal, that there is not more than one third in favor of removing in the first named three townships and hardly if any in Green.— Those in favor from Allen reside mainly in the north part of the township which joins Wayne, in spite of the assertion that two-thirds of the voters of the above named townships would be for removal. They claim that having opposed. the removal of the seat of justice the last time when Albion had no rail road, nor one in prospect, théy are now, when it possesses one, $o much more in favor of letting the seat remain where itis. The Kendallvillians being tired of traveling to Albion through the mud can now be accommmodated by way of Avilla, and they surely ought not, to complain at that. Toremove the county seat for the sake of obtaining new county buildings and the cost of the same to be defrayed out of the county treasury would be a mistaken policy and unjust at the present time, as taxes are allready too burdensome—they being from one-third to one-half higher than last year. Wait until the taxes are at a more reasonable rate, then talk about erecting new buildings at the expense of the tax-payers. Such is the. sentiment of .a majority of tax-payers in this part of the/ county. . In last week’s BANNER Isaw a statement made by Mr. Colgrove of Kendallville that the B. & O. R. R. could never be able to compete with the Lake Shore R, R., especially in freight, on account the former being an allrail road to Baltimore and the latter connecting with the lake at Toledo.— 1t is well known that the B. & O.R. R. connects with the L. S. & M. S.at Monroeville, O. thereby having the same advantage as the letter. The freight on grain at present to Baltimore is 3714 cents a hundred from this station and I am convinced that it will be much lower- direct to Baltimore.— With the present high rates Avilla can compete with Kendallville -in prices of produce, and after the completion of the road it will be able to pay more for produce than Kendallville. ' e : - There is some activity in railroad matters here. : < Messrs Hill & Co. have obtained the former Squire & Higgins territory and arrived here with’a number of teams and men to go to work. As they: have promised to have their work completed by the Ist of July next, they must necessary push it vigorously. They have just completed their work in Laporte - county, the same line, from ‘ whence they came here. REPORTER.

Farm Insurance. Mg. EDITOR :—Your Avilla correspondent, a short time since,stated that a number of persons in that vicinity intended to form a Farmers Insurance Company. Would it not have ‘been ‘ better for them to have organized'their township of farmersinto a club, helped ' other -townships“inthe county do'the same, then, when a sufficient number of local organizitions were well under way, form a county association, and in that, give the matter of insurance for the whole county \into.the hands of & competent committee. Tt is “a well known fact that the greater number ‘combined in insurance, as in other affairs, where it i 8 a matter of corporation, gives a greater security at a less cost. A tyro in these matters cannot help but see that a county of farmers could be insured at a less cost than those of a township, 'gfteggvtlig; plan named, even if he could mot see the corresponding greater.s &y 'y RE: MasoNlC.—Naoftice is hereby. given that Lignier Lodge NolBs F. & A.
