—We learn from our Michigan exchanges that F. S. Packard, of Sturgis, has invented a new process for preserving fruit, which is claimed to be an improvement on the Alden process. A Fruit Drier or Factory is to be established at thé Air Line crossing, and another in Nottaway township, St. Joe county, Mich., by a newly organized <company whose chief stock-holders are Messrs. Conner and Lee. Ligonier stands in need of such an institution, and as only about $6,000 are required for the purpose, we trust Mr. Jonathan Simmons (who has given this matter considerable attention and has both the means and the ability to carry on an establishment/ of this kind) will at once take the necessary steps to supply our town with one of these justly celebrated fruil factories. . -

MANUF}_L_(}TURIES. Ligonier alive to their Importance

Several assured and others Coming - lnte‘reiitinz Facts for Farmers. For some time past our citizens have been earnestly discussing the subject of manufacturing. The fact is pretfy generally ‘acknowledged .that the future growth and prosperity of Ligonier depends more upon her internal industries than upon contemplated railroad connections, and that such internal developments depend entirely upon the energy, enterprise, and magnanimity of our own people. . The public pulse begins to assume a healthy tone, and new life and vigor enter into public sentiment. We not only begin.to realize these things, but begin to act upon them. The theory rapidly dissolves itself in practice; the real dawns on the ideal. =~ .

~ On Thursday last, a Mr. Reynolds, senior member of the D. H. Reynolds Toy Furniture Co., of Chicago, visited our town for,the purpose.of establishing, if foundipracticable, his factory here. Mr. Reynolds became, at once, very fayorably impressed with the lo“cation, and the advantages which the town and country afforded, and, being a man of marked business capacity, and ability, concluded: to transfer his factory, provided the citizens looked ‘with favor on the project. ' Under the inspiration of Mr. E. J. Dodge, to whom, alone, the lion’s share of the eredit of Myr. Reynolds’ visit is to be attributed, a meeting was called for that eveningz at the Town Hall, to take into consideration any propositions which Mr. Reynolds might have to make. L At 715 o’clock alarge number of our most prominent citizens met at the Town Hall, and organized by calling the Hon. G. W. Chapman to the chair, with D. W. Green, Esq., as Secretary, The chair briefly stated the object of the meeting. ' P Mr. Reynolds being called on, stated that he was here at the solicitation of his friend, Mr. Dodge, to see for himself the location, and inquire into the feasibility of transferring his factory from Chicago to Ligonier; that his firm had been engaged in manufacturing in Chicago for eight years, had a large and lucrative trade established; a capital ample to meet the demands of their business; that they bought most of their raw material from Mr. Dodge, and that his firm, as well as many others, now engaged in business in large cities, were canvassing the propriety of moving their establishments to suburban towns, where the cost of manufacturing was less, and from whence they could ship the manufactured articles cheaper than the raw material; that if the people of Ligonier were willing that he should come, and. would donate the building and glounds, he would guarantee to. have hig 'machinery here by the Ist of May, and at once employ ten skilled mechanics; that his usual force was twenty-two men, and that if the business warranted he would soon employ 30, 40, or 50 men; that he would much prefer to guarantee ten men‘and bring twenty-two, than to engage to work twenty-two men and only work ten; that it would cost him abéut $3,000 to move his men, machinery, and fixtures, and hence the necessity of a little aid; and, further, their lease expiring in Chicago, May Ist, they must. come at once, if at all. - /

Mr, E. J. Dodge stated that he had known Mr. Reynolds intimately, in business, for over three years,and that he would gunarantee the perfermance by Mr. Reynoids of every obligation he should make with our citizens, in this matter. o :

The chair stated the first thingin ‘order, to be, to get an expression from the meeting, as to whether they desired such a factory as Mr. Reynolds proposed to establish here, and called on all who favored it to arise. The meeting rose as one man. :

On motion the chair appointed Messrs. J.-C. Zimmerman, E. B. Gerber, and D. S. Scott, a committee to solicit subscriptions from the citizens of Ligonier. Over six hundred dollars was at .once subscribed, and the balance of the necessary fund was raised in a short time from our business men on Friday morning. Thus, in'a few hours over one thousand dollars was secured, and the prospect assured. The two-story frame building and lot owned by Mr. T. Hudson, west' of the Empire Mills, has been secured, and workmen are already at work preparing the building for occupancy. We therefore take pleasure in an-’ nouncing to. the readers of the BAN-' NER, that by the Ist of May, Ligonier will have a factory of her own, wliere all kinds of furniture, toys, brackets, &c., will be manufactured by the wholesale; and,in the manufacture of -which, over 100,000 feet of lumber will be used annually; work will be furnished to an additional number of labgrers, and, from this point, shipment§ will be made to New York, Boston, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chica- | go, and other points, where this firm already have an established trade. . OTHER CONTEMPLATED MANUFAC--2 TURIES. : Messrs. Jones & Gerber have commenced the erection of a Handle Factory, just south of the L. S. & M. S. R. ‘R. Co’s Elevators, which will begin gperations by the Ist of May. Their buildings will be 20 x 40 feet, and 12 x 20 feet, and employ at once, Bix to eight hands, steam power, with a capacity to manufacture siz hundred thousand handles per annum. They are at present negotiating with the Steel Goods Manufacturing Co., of Jackson, Michigan, to furnish four hundred thousand handles annually, 'with every assurance of success. Their establishment will be, 9nlarged -as the business increases, and, promises to be, not only a permanent fixture, but a brilliant success, as the members of this firm have not only the capacity, but also the energy and business qual~ ifications, to insure a successful issue Lof the undertaking.r Every farmer

within a day’s travel of Ligonier will } be financially interested in this enterprise, for the reason that iv will create a market, and a lucrative one, for that class of timber which is so plenteous in this section, 7.e. grey ash, 8 to 20 inches in diameter, which is now udes principally for rails. One thousand 7rails will make ten thousand feet of lumber, for which this firm will pay eight dollars per thousand on the stump. ‘ Farmers, eighty dollars per thousand is a pretty expensive price for grey ash rails, and, our advice is, save your grey ash for a better purpose financially, than rails. o - An effort is being made to induce ‘Mr. James Hall, of the Haw Patch, patentee of a wind pump, said to be superior, in many respects, to the celebrated Halliday Pump, to bring his_ ‘factory to Ligonier, and to unite with himself men of capital, and thus secure a valuable addition to our place. This project is in the hands of some of our best business. men, who will spare no efforts to bring about the desired result. ' Another matter that deserves conspicuous mention is Finley Beazel’s Trunk Factory, which, although it is still in its infancy, is big with promise. Mr. Beazel has now in his employ three men, who alone manufacture nearly two trunks daily, and of a quality said to be far superior to those manufactured in Toledo, Chicago, and Detroit, and at a cost to the retail trade greatly below those manufactured in the cities named. ;

Mr. Beazel is contemplating the erection, at an early day,of buildings suitable for his purpose, and in 6rder to be able to successfully compete for an enlarged’ trade in his line must needs employ a large force of hands, and considerable capital. He is the man to manage this business successfully;a’nd we trust the people of Ligonier will see to it that he does not fail for the want of éncouragement of the right sort. There are several other enterprises of a like nature to the foregoing, under consideration, but inasmuch as they have not, as yet, assumed any; pei‘lnanent form we leave them for future notice. ;

We desire to impress upon the minds of the citizens of Ligonier and vicinity the necessity and importance of all classes of manufaeturies—for it is these and these alone which build up our towns and cities, and make them great commercial centers; and as towns develop and grow, so too, the farmers around them increasein prosperity. It is the population |that makes the town; it is manufacturing that draws the population, and as this population increases, the demand for all the products of the farm increase. Every farmer is benefited directly in proportion to the bushels of wheat, pounds of butter, dozens of eggs, &c., that he has to sell. Why, gentlemen, Ligonier is the center of the best wooded region of Northern Indiana, from whence is shipped annually a great share of the raw material for all the implements and machinery incident to. a farmer’s occupation, which you are compelled to buy back at an enormous profit to eastern and western manufacturers. You get $lO for material in the rough, and to. that $lO you add fabulous sums in order to get back the manufactured article. All this money, or as much of it as possible, should be kept at home, and made to circulate within your own circle.— Mesgrs. Jones & Gerber’s factory will, as shown, furnish a. market for your ash timber. Beazel’s Trunk factory: will furnish a market for your bass wood or lynn, while the Reynolds’ Toy Furniture Co. will create a better market for walnut, ash, &c. Every establishment at Ligonier which uses wood in the composition of the article manufactured directly affects your pockets, and goes to swell its contents. There is no reason why Ligonier should not, but countless reasons why she should be, the center of that large class of manufactures- which consume our wooded products. As a matter of investment, farmers, you could take stock in manufacturing companies, pay for your shares in lumber and receive. back not only'a good percentage upon your investment in dividends, but also have the benefit of the decrease in the price of articles manufactured at home. ]

The idea has been suggested by some of our citizens that an Association be: formed similar to the Building, Loan and Savings Association and that the monthly accumulations, instead of being loaned to private individuals, be loaned for manufacturing purposes at a low rate of interest, thus serving a double purpose of savings institution and of building up home interests. We regard the idea as being eminently meritorious and entitled not only to careful consideration but also prompt and speedy development. We trust this matter will be carried into execution, for it is a well known fact that it requires money to draw foreign manufacturers to any town, and that towns of any importance whatever, all around us, have heretofore secured these favors and advantages solely by this means. .

It is the small rivulets that swel] the stream to the mighty river; the small savings that create large funds; large funds that draw great financial interests, and it is these great financial interests that make the hamlet develop into the great commercial centers, and furnish labor for the industrious and homes for the industrious laborer.

—A man named Peter Sheets was instantly killed last Monday night as he was returning to his home near Locke, Elkhart county.

Herriman, formerly a destinguished citizen of Noble county, offers one of his valuable lowa farms for sale.— Any person in want of such property, will be certain of getting a bargain by purchasing of the Major. | — While we make no pretensions to “infallibility,” as insinuated by Sneak Sam of the Era, we do claim exemption from #his chief characteristics—premeditated falsehoods and cowardly insinuations against fellow-men and neighbors. A continuation of his contemptible course will entitle him to the “distinction” of having even a smaller heart than a “gnat’s bladder.” - —OQur.new half-medium “Globe” job press arrived here Wednesday evening of last week and has been in opefation gince Saturday morning. It works charmingly and gives the utmost satisfaction. With this addition to our machinery, we are enabled to turn out a class of job. printing which heretofore caused 18 considerable annoyance, but which we can now execute without difficulty and at greatly increased speed. , : ; —The speech of Dr. Clark at the county-seat ‘meeting was decidedly a rich affair and -evoked the most uproarious laughter and:cheers. He is a most earnest speaker, at times vehement in his flights of oratory.: We publish an almost verbatim report of his remarkable address, that the people of th¥ county may gain some knowledge of the arguments with which the removal project is combatted by this earnest and enthusiastic champion of Albion’s dearest interests.

—Reckoning the commencement of the Spring season from the time that day and night are of equal proportion, Saturday last denoted the period from which on we may look for a change from the monotony of snow, sleet and mud. As we gaze upon barren fields and leafless trees, our heart is filled with an inexpressible longing for the charming 'season when the blue canopy unfolds itself over green forests, meadows and gardens. Happily, only a few weeks are yet required before sweet Spring will appear in all her grandeur and produce that wonderful transformation which, upon each return, awakens feelings of ecstatic joy and profound admiration.

Eye and Life Saved. Lupus Cancer, of four and one-half years duration, skillfully and scientifically removed from my left itye, by Cancer and Scrofula Doctoress, Miss Josephine E. Silsby, of Kendallville, Indiana, without‘cutting, loss of blood, or chloroform. A tumor as large asa bean, in the socket, attached to-the eyeball, protruding at the external corner of the eye, and had eaten away a part of both upper and lower eyelids, forming a neucleicell attached to the cheek bone, under the eye. I believe Miss Silsby’s the only true and successful system for the treatment of cancer. A grateful subject, I make this public acknowledgement for the benefit of afflicted humanity. Don’t be trifled with by. other Doctors for $lO nor $5O. Employ the “Woman Doctoress” before too late. My vision is perfect, my eye is saved,:and my life is prolonged by her treatment.

The Rev. Mr. Hatfield, of Cincinnati, recently delivered from his pulpit a scathing rebuke to blatherskite journalism.. That is, he literally excoriated that sort of journalism which, by its low ingifiuations, imputations and infamous scurrilities, tend to poison the moral atmosphere, corrupt the youth, breed licentiousness, and contaminate the society of the community. Rev. Mr. Hatfield should travek His sphere of usefulness is too ciry cumscribed in Cincinnati.

The above event attracted a vast crowd of spectators who congregated at the Synagogue to witness the interesting ceremony.- The elite of the town turned ont en masse and anxiously awaited the appearance of the happy conple. At quarter past 1 o'clock the Bride, beautifully dressed in .the sweetest shades of lilac silk, wearing a wreath of orange blossoms and & Jong lace veil, entered the Synagogue attended by her brother, Mr. Lehman Pickert and her sister, Mre, Julius Kaufmann, of Cincinnati, and Mrs. Leb of Ligonier. The Bridegroom foilowed, accompanied by Mr, and Mrs. F. W, Straus. The bride and groom, -with their attendants, walked up the center aisle to the elevation in front of the **holy ark,” where the Rev. Mr. Felsenthal, of Chicago, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Strams, awaited their coming. The ceremery, which was very impressive. was immediately commenced. The minister’s exhortations to the bride and groom were very beautifully illustrated, the love, peace, charity and purity which should grace every marriage life being compared to the four beautiful rivers that took their source from the beautiful waters of Paradise, after which the placing of the ring on the bride’s finger and a solemn benediction completed the ceremony. The bride and groom then received the happy congratulations of their many friends. A very beauntiful wedding march was played by Miss Esther Baum in the most skillful manner, both upon the ‘entrance and retiring of the bridal party. After the ceremony the happy pair and.their immediate relatives repaired to the residence of Mr. F. W.Straus, where a most sumps tuous dinner was prepared.
