LOCUAL CON TRIBUTTONY - KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. It becomes necessary for me toagain refer to that low and contemptible 'scoundrel, (C. O. Myers. I have ab--stained from mentioning his name or any of his iniquities for seme time, and only do so now to add a little news in regard to “one‘of his deputies,” who figures largely in the crime committed in our post office not long since. I sincerely regret that she is made to take the position she does and can only account for it through woman’s weakness, and in this case she exhibits much weakness in sharing this felon’s outrages. About the 20th of last February she was again ordered out of the post office and after considerable consultation with her advisers, she left this place and nobody to-day knows where she is, unless it be Myers. At the time she left they realized the magnitude of their offense and concluded if those who came here in their interest could not save them then the law would not, and hence she has been sent off. They hope if prosecution 1s commenced the officers of the law will not be able to find her, and that he will escape by alleging that she is the criminal. This might possibly save him, yet it would condemn her to severe punishment. But if both are arrested, as they will be, there is no escape for them. He has ‘attempted to explain her absence by, saying she had received a dispateh informing her that a friend was sick, and a little later he accounts for her departure with the announcement that she is making her annual visit to her parents, neither of which is true. She is simply away watching events and guarding against arrest. 5t

Pole-cat Myers says the place to bej 1 gin the temperance crusade is in our drug-stores. I can say this much, that 1 Kendallville contains the m(ist beautis ful and best kept drug-stores of any town in Northern Indiana, and if any of them have a - bad reputation it is from the slander of just such scoundrels as C. O. Myers; whose name may, be found upon every petition that has been sent to the Commissioners asking for permits to retail intoxicating Tiquors in this place. - Mrs. William Groh is very sick. Besides her friends and relatives, two Sisters of Charity are lier faithful attendants. ' 5

If Mr. H. Krueger will take the trouble to ask Eichart’s physicians in regard to his sickness, they will tell him that it was their opinion that his disease was delirium tremens, and the item as-published was based upon the report of Drs. Teal, Gilbert and Williams, which was to.that effect, and they made it no secret. Mr. K. seems quite sensitive upon that subject. .

08l Bringhurst arrived ‘here last Monday. He hired a livery team-and went to Brimfield to investigate a little post office affair at that place. I am happy to state, however, that the Squire did not criminate his wife nor hand in his resignation, and I am still in favor of swapping off our postmaster and getting one whose: wife can be a deputy. ; Mrs. Edmonds, an elderly lady, received a severe injury at the Disciple Church last Sabbath. She fell while coming out of the church and broke her hip bope and also sustained some other injuries. . John A. Mitchell left for his new home in Adrian, Mich., last Tuesday. A good many will miss John A, as he was a man of fine social qualities and possessing much general information. A delegation of ladies called upon the doctors of this place the other day to get their signatures to a pledge that they would not administer liquor to their patients, only in extreme cases. This'is a step in the right direction and they should go still further and ask those gentlemen who do “use it, to investigate the subject and see whether they are not preseribing it more for its exhilerating effects than for any supposed remedial qualities it possesses. S -

- The gentlemen who are trying to hold up C. O. Myers had better stand from under, as they will surely go down with him if they don’t let go soon. : The appraisers assessed against the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company four thousand dollars to the heirs of Judge Randall, deceased, for the privilege of passing through their 160 acre farm. XAVIER. ' ROME CITY NEWS. Rodgers & Sons are doing a lively business in the manufacture of clothes racks. They are turning out about one hundred and fifty of these necessary household articles per week, for which they seem to have no difficulty in finding ready sale at quite remunerative figures. This is an important branch of manufacturing in our city which has heretofore been overlooked.

~ Another business change has taken place in our town within the past week. Hank Hamlin has. sold bis grocery and provision store to his brother Wallace, who is now ministering to the wants of his original customers with that same old familiar smile upon his countenance. Walter seems to be better natured, if possible, and a happier man generally, since he got his new wife. 0

As we intimated last week, a change has taken place in the flouring department of the Rome City Mills. Berry & Anderson now run the machine on their own hook. Newt. already looks as dusty and as honest as if he had been a miller all his life. o

- 0. Dixon, Esq., who has the reputation of being one of the best carders in America, is now giving the Rome City' Carding’ Machines a thorough overhauling and entire new dress. It is Ove’s intention in the future to put the card department. of that institution through for all it is worth, if not a little more, and he ean do it.

Billy Holsinger has traded farms with Dr. Sampson and has now become owner of the old Brothwell farm, which is conceded to be one of the best falms in the county. Billy now has a good chance to “spread himself.” He is one of our most scientific and sitccessful farmers; is a good judge of stock and ought to be a Director of the Agricultural Society. |

Seeing persons frequently standing in front of the meat market and the door locked, we are forcibly reminded of the portion of scripture which says, “and I was enhnngered and you gave me not meat.” - . :

The dance at the Lake Side last Friday evenirnig was a very pleasant and enjoyable affair and was more largely attended than the proprietor had any reason to' expect. But few in town knew at noon on Friday that there was' talk of a dance, but somehow the news got to thé country,and then, “Here we come!” and the large hall was well nigh filled. The dance continued until about half-past 1 A. M. and was one of the most orderly and social parties that has taken place here for some time.| . -

One would naturally suppose that old roosters like ’Squire Law and W. R. Truesdale had long since sown their wild oats. But such is not the case; they were both participants in the dance last Friday evening, and so anxious was each to excel the other that 'mqéh younger persons were entirely distanced. But we rather think the ’Squire is entitled to the belt, as he can “cut the pigeon wing” with the greatest ease and dignity. Our people are now considerably excited over the prospects of the Canada Southern Railroad. 'We contend that we have the best and by odds the eheapest route, and only a mere trifle longer than any line that has yet been run; and our line passes over from ten to fifteen miles of choice gravel beds which are entirely wanting on all the other routes. It is confidently believed that if it were not for the fact that some of the officers of the road are largely interested in real estate on what is called the Hawpatch reute and governed entirely by selfish motives, Rome City would have no difficulty in getting the road. It is strange that the president and directors of the road do not give the matter their more earnest attention. . The depot on the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad at Kalamazoo, Mich., ‘burned down on Friday last. We hope .this misfortune will not have the effect to keep us out of a depot another year. . The proprietor of the Lake Side is largely indebted to Mrs. I. N. Berry for the suctess of his party. She gave the matter special attention and made it go. Mrs. B. is as full of fun, frolic and innocence as a kitten. ; ;

The unsophisticated cuss who stole the hat is requested to Bring it back and apologize to Clark and there will be but little more said about it; otherwise it may be the dearest and most troublesome hat he ever invested in. “T.ook a leetle out.” :

A protracted meeting (part second) is now in progress at the Baptist Church of this place. The Grangers here only meet semioccasionally. Their meetings are said to be as thin and dry as a Thursday night prayer meeting. The Grange here will probably not live longer than till dog days. i J. C. Hall, Esq., is on a visit to his friends near Philadelphia, Pa. Dwight Truesdale and Willis Ray are selling Rome City Clothes Racks at Sylvania, Ohio. Bamboo. fishing rods have made their appearance in our market. Specimen numbers can be seen at the post office. ' - : :

D. Pollock’s Chester White rooster has taken up his residence in Fort ‘Wayne and bécome one of the bon tons of that city. Van Smith’s new restaurant building will be completed in a few days. Dr. Jones has been very sick for some time, but we are glad to learn he is getting better. - i - Next Sunday is Easter and hens are expécted to lay colored eggs. Geo. W. Reed has a span of match horses which he offers to sell at a bargain. They are No.l. Cromwell gets the round-house, sure. So say some of the authorities. _ Quite a number of very nice fish have been caught in the Nine Mile Lake this spring. There is no fish law in these parts just now. Our county papers ought to explain the fish and game law at least once in three months, so that the birds and finny tribe may enjoy a share of freedom. ; ,

Our Fort Wayne peddler No. 2 took the largest load of rags to the depot at Ligonier that ever passed through this place. : ~ The Grange question here is dead in the shell. What’s the matter with you, farmers ? _ One would suppose after reading the proceedings of the county seat meeting at Kann’s Hall that the majority of those in attendance did not

‘relish Dr. Clark’s speech very much. “According to the Doctor’s statements, he had found only two fools in Noble county, but there is one more in Sparta township. However, we have not much to say about the fight. Some things connected with this movement look a little too thin, in our estimation, but we say let her iset, perhaps she will hatch by and by. ,: G. W. Reed is going to run for Sheriff next election. and says he would rather move to Albion, but then, you know, we will wait and see how things are going to be shaped. We understand that Ligonier is to have a manufaeturing establishment that will furnish employment for ten or twenty mechanics, which ought to be sufficient inducement to secure the- location of the seat of justice at that place —forgetting that there is a railroad running through Albion and Cromwell, the former in the center of Noble county and the latter in the center of Sparta township.

Resisting the Marshal-John Conrad ~ im Limbe. ;

- Last Saturday afternoon John Conrad and Chailey Dewitt called upon Marshal Braden for a license to prosecute a chance or gambling game on Cavin stre&it.' The license was refused them, but they persisted in carrying on their game against the marshal’s orders. They brought out their apparatus and commenced operations, when the marshal stepped up and warned the crowd that the first man who bet on the game would, be prose- l cuted, thus blockading the whole con-. cern. John Conrad then began to abuse the marshal, and one word brought on another until they clinched. The Captain had the advantage and was about to secure his prisoner when Mr. Conrad, John’s father, came out and asked that he be released, promising to make John behave himself and put the board away. But as soon as “Coony” found he was loose, he drew a large knife from a sheath in his pocket, flourished it in the air and called for the marshal. But the marshal, taking in the surroundings at a glance and having nothing whatever with which to defend himself, fled across the street in search of a revolver. -He was. hotly pursued by Conrad who was only prevented from carrying out his hellish design by being confronted by Col. Zent, armed with a handle taken from the hardware store of J. M. Chapman & Co. Conrad was then captured by S. M. Hostetter and held until assistance came with the marshal, when he was bound with cords, but at the earnest solicitation of his father and mother, he was ak lowed to be taken by them to their residence; only, however, until the proper papers could be procured for his arrest on the charge of assault with intent to commit murder.

‘When the warrant was ready and placed in the hands of the Constable, A. Hire, it was discovered that the bird had flown. The officer, with several assistants, immediately giving chase found him in the woods near the residence of James Culver, a bro-ther-in-law of Conrad, where he was concealed behind a log. When the constable came upon Conrad and told him he was his prisoner, he again showed fight, striking at Mr. Hire and kicking him in the side; he also kicked S. M. Hostetter and struck Charley Shobe, when the constable drew his revolver and informed the boy that if he made another move he would shoot him. The prisoner was then taken before D. W. Green, Esq., where he made repeated threats that he would kill both the marshal and constable. An examination was had, Circuit Prosecutor McConnell being present, and John bound over to court in the sum of four thousand dollars. Failing to give bail, he was conveyed to the county jail to await his trial. : Since writing the above, John Conrad’s father has become responsible for his bond and he is again set atliberty. : ;

—Since their recent conflagration, the Lagrange folks have been trying to buy a fire engine, with what success will appear from the annexed item in last week’s Stendard: “The petition for the purchase of fire apparatus lacked $25,000 of representing five-eighths of the property of the corporation. The town will, therefore, have to do without a fire engine awhile longer. But why not go on with the hook and ladder organization ?” ' —Some unprincipled pimp effected an entrance into the editor’s library during his illness and stole a bunch of choice cigars, a present from Mr. Magnus. A revolver was also abstracted, but subsequently placed upon the table in our sanctum. We will gladly hand over a greenback for information that will lead to the detection of the guilty person. :

It was a fine, large frame building and was insured to the amount of two thousand dollars, but the insurance on the furniture had expired a few days before the fire. The fire was caused by a defective flue, :

' l DAILY, SUNDAY AND WEEKLY, ! } Settin%l out on a somewhat new and luntried path last year, the Sentinel defined dt length ‘ and in detail its purposes. To ihose who have watched that course it reasserts its ¢laim for con—tinued countenance and loyal sjipport. The Sentinel promised last year perfect independence from all partisan ties.. It promised earnest, unrelaxing efforts in the production and presentation of a wholesome, refined and trustworthy news medium. | In the success of that effort it has the cordial endorsement of a vast number of its cotemporary journals, and the written assurance of a great constituency of ministers, teachers, f lawyersg, and families, The measure of the Sentinel’s success is, however, best shown by the po- | sition whigh it has taken within the year, as the | first newspaper of the State, and a leading news- | paper of the West. To this fact nearly every ! journal of intelligence and discriminatién in the | State has borne testimony, as well as theiswelling | list of new readers who have joined its ranks.of | friends. This in a general way, . i For the next year the Sentinel reaffirms the at- | titude in the past year—the organ of no party or | creed—the témperate advocate. only, of the most generofis measures in Church and State.. It will ; continue to publish all the news at the earliest | ‘moment. It will reflect thegentifixentsgi‘ the peo- | ple, and hold itself outside of all partiés. It will | support only honest men for office and demand a ! pledge of character, not party. It will! uphold zealously the hands of all men honest andearnest. in reform, no matter what their party or predilectiong, anq it will strivc to give all sides’a hearing in the changing topics that fill the public mind | from time to time. ] The Sentinel hds no policy to maintain as gp- ’ posed to the will of the majority. lLts columns. are meant to be a fair reflex of the rational will of the community, where all men can have a hearing freely, The Sentinel believes that a£ontinnance of the baleful partyism of the past must inevitably sap the foundation of the Republic and destroy every ' distinctive teature of democratic | government. To this end it encourages heartily the obliteration of the corrué)t power which kas strangled honesty in office during the last seven ears; & power which- brings the nation into gankrnptcy on the verge of the new year, and by its flagrant disregard of the first principles of government, plunges the country into all the hardships of war and pestilence. i i Upnsder whatever conditions reform may come, | the Sentinel will give its best eflorts for its suc-} ¢ess, maintaining at all times its own perfect freedom to uphold and maintain genuine, not simu- | lated reformation, { On the great industrial questions, now moving -the public mind, the Sentinel wiil maintain a hearty, earnest co-operation with all struggling men seeking to better themeelves mentally. physically; and every way. It believes that the present revenue laws work mischievously and discriminately against the producer and in'favor of the non-producer, and that any reform which does not make farmer’s rights and revenue reform solid planks of its platform/and active measnrés in its policy, does not deserve the sympathy of intelligent men. The Farmer’s movement received its' first recognition in this section from the Sentinel. Its efforts shall continue to be directed toward the strengthening of that design. Initsopposition to political, railroad and financial'monopolies, the |: Sentinel will continue an honest support. While | furthering all interests in this direction, wisdom must be called in to keep the crusadeagainst public abuse, monopolies, and the like, from degener- |- ating into demagoguery. In all emerizencies of this nature, the Sentinel will attempt full and impartial justice to all who trust it. + Concerning(its general features as a ne wepaper, the Sentinel will hold its rank as the foremost in the State, by a continnance of the same policy of liberal expenditures whenever events of moment occupy the public mind. The features for which | this paper has become popularand distinguished during the lagt year, will be carried out still more fully, if possible, the comin% year, and every department made of vital, abiding intérest and use‘fulness to the home circle, the minister, the lawyer, the educator—in short, all classes who want a pure and upright press, untrammeled by party and unwarped by prejudice. . ; The Sentinel is not on lg the completest newspaper in its presentation of news and its comments | thereon, but it is a vigitor every day in the year— | for the 365 days—omitting no publication on any’ pretext. It is, in this respect, one of the most valuable news medinms in the State. In short, the Sentinel means to keep ahead of [the brilliant progress of the State. It meansto give voice to the most liberal, enlightened and purest sentiment of the time, and in this respect claims a distinctly special mission. It depends on its character as an independent and fearless news medium for growth and support, and makes no pretext of cheap premiumsto secure reluctant supporters. - Its market refi)or;s—regnlar. special and com- | piled, are the fullest, most diversified and comFlete presented in an{ journal of similar resources n the country. Its law, educational and indus. trial reports, which have attracted %eneml.‘attention in the past shall be continued with equal care and accuracy in the future, and no cost fgar-' ed in perfecting such details as will render them in every way the features of Indiana journalism. ‘ln a special wsy, the Sentinel is better able to | present a complete newspaper than Bm-y of its ri-| vals in the West. It has no party obligations of| any character, and is “consequently enabled to give all sides of current controversies, irrespective of prejudices of men or parties. As a reflex ofthe growth of Indlann?olis, the Sentinel takes marked precedence of all rivals. Itatclt{y \columns are lnlgr in detail and more accurate in preparation than any similar d:gutment in the West, and the fact is attested by the Sentinel’s universal circulation in the cg . The Sunday Sentinel reaches a greatet cons {uency than any daily in the State, and increases at an unexampled rate from week to week, not only in the ctt{,, but th;b‘nghont all parts of the Stateé accessible by Sunday trains.
