His Pi O. address is Little Blue,.Adams county, Neb. Ie has purchased a farm of 160, acres and is. perfectly delighted with the country. —We would esteem it a special favor if:the farmers in the different townships 6f Noble and adjoining - counties would send us authentic statements of thie condition of the growing wheat. We want nothing but facts. —lt is about time that those infer‘nal hogs which are rooting up sidewalks and breaking into other people’s lots and gardens were being penned = up. If friendly advice wont do‘any good, a little lead may perhaps produce the desired effect. - ; —Our excellent friend, Geo. W. Reed, of Cromwell, informs us that he is' not extremely anxious to ‘become Sheriff; yet if the people Should deem it the part’ of wisdom to demand his services in that position, he would not " feel “at liberty.-to turn ‘a deaf eal to their wishes, = -~ : :

Hartzler, of Clinton township, Elkhatt'county, who favor-

ed us with a call the other day,, informed us that the growing wheat in that locality will scarcely yield a half crop. 'That cold snap during the latter part of February or the beginning of March did the mischief. . —Cobwebs will soon vanish like the baseless fabric of a vision. The renovating season is close at hand, and the steady housewife, armed with broom and dust pan, proposes to make a vigorous erusading campaign against all domestic mncleanliness, so’ that the spider henceforth will have no pretty littlB parlor for the fly to walk into. - ~“When tramps call at your houses’ to get something to eat, you would do well not to allow them to enter. In all probabillty they are more anxious to take observation so as to see how to effect an entrance in the night, and to find where some of your valuable ar‘ticles are kept: Observe them closely, S 0 as \fﬂ” recognize them again at sight. —The Waterloo Press is authority for this statement: “The Supreme Court of this State has decided that the office.of City Councilman is not “lucrative,” in the meaning of the Constitution, . The ‘same definition will, no doubt, apply to village trustees and other minor officers. If this be true, it- will interest those who are constructing slates for ‘the coming mmpa-‘ I : : —-Még'xll‘ A.Stangland, an intelligent farmer of Noble township, informs us that.the growing wheat in that locality presents a most promising appearance in the Oak openings, but that in heayy,loamy lands it is almost entirely destroyed, so much 8o that a number of farmers are plowing up their fields. These remarks apply to most of the land between Ligenier and Wolf Lake, Under favorable: circumstances Mr, Stangland thinks a half crop may be calculated upon from the territory abgve named,

—Capt. J. E. Braden represented the 1 soldiery of this place in the grand reunion at Ft. Wayne on Monday. The Captain was also one of the few survivors of the Mexican war who were in attendance, and had the pleasure of conversing and marching with old comrades with whom he had not marched for twenty-seven years. —By the retirement of Dr. Palmiter from the Vice Presidency, the Noble Agricultural Society loses one of its most energetic and active officers. Though his ‘judgment may some time have been at fault, no one can truthfully assert that the Doctor has not always exerted himself manfully to promote the interests of the society. He never shirked a responsibility nor evaded a duty. :

LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS ROME CITY NEWS. ' We are in receipt of the first num‘ber of the Wolcottville Register, just started in our little sister village over the way, which we are pleased-to say is a very, neat, spicy and readable sheet and would certainly do henor to a much larger place than the village of its birth. The editor starts out fullof life and hope, predicting for his paper a long and useful life, and it would greatly please usif his hopes should be more than realized. His advertising list looks encouraging; may it never grow less. The citizens of Wolcottville are, as 4 class, rather energetic and ambitious, and we hope they will continue to give their home paper that liberal support with which they have started out. :

Those who had been predicting a white Easter, have had their prophesx« amply gratified. Easter Sunday would have done credit to mid-winter. It snowed; fearfully the entire day, and in the afternoon the ground was covered to the depth of six inches and the. merry sleigh-bells were jingling. Fortunately, both snow and sleigh-riding were of short duration. Early Monday morning Old Sol. came down, with his imperative command, “depart!” and the snow vai@slxed as chaff before the wind. Take it all ir all, we have had a very elegant Easter storm, and. the fellow who made spades “trump” and: “went it alone” got “euchred.”’— Spades have been theé poorest hand dealt out for several dayvs.

A XKendallville troupe of dusky whites concluded to give Rome City a “rare entertainment,” last Saturday evening, consisting of “new and original witticisms and comicalities.” The ‘ evening was chilly and the citizens were cool and stupid and were late getting out;*indeed, quite a number; failed to gét outatall. Geo. W.Dixon, Esq., and “L. S. Ripples” assisted with their choicest music. Prof. Forq, from ‘ some unaccountable cause, failed toi put in an appearance, which was very discouraging - and provoking to tlie audience, as the Professor,is Rome’s special favorite. Nevertheless, this did not stop the entertainment; the! show went on and the actors brought forth so many side-splitting incidents, and so much originality, and their selectiolis were so pure and chaste, that their audienece became thoroughly sat- I isfied ahd nearly all left the hall'before - the shoew was near over. Their pro- } gramme was so lengthy that the train | going south had passed before the ‘ show was over and the entire troupe were compelled to lay over until morning.. The morning opened anything but encouraging for the unfortunate troupe. After breakfast the male portion, taking the railroad, footed it; the female actors took an open buggy for Kendallville and, through a teriffic snow storm, their forms disappeared in the distance. © One solitary show?® man remained over Sunday and performed, free gratis, most of the day. Declaring himself to be “dead broke,” ‘ he offered to become generally useful until he could board a train going south. We are forced to arrive at one of two conclusions, viz.: The show was a great bore, or élse outr citizens cannot appreciate the merits of a city troupe of minstrels. ol Neighbor Shumway has sold out to Mrs. Gower. As soon as the Doctor returns from the west, an invoice of the entire stock will be taken and possession surrendered, ] Three visible moves in business row. Miller, with the post-office, takes the large corner building; Rabey & Son take their’ old room on the other corner, and Wallace Hamlin takes room No. 5. This will afford all a chance to clean up, if nothing more. Owing to the continued cold weather, the frog;concerts have been most effectually dried up. : - 3’ We learn, from the BANNER that Samuel Ol;ﬁlwine, Esq., will probably be a candidate for Representative. . If this proves to be true, he ought to be elected without opposition. Sam. is one of the men that God made; in him is ability and purity combined. “We care more for men than we.do for party in these days. Sam.is our man. M. V. Hall, Esq., engineer of. the Magnet Woolen - Mills, has just got ount from a severe attack of lung fever. Through the skill of Doctor Rabey he is enabled to make his appearance around town, very much resembling the last rose of summer after a heavy storm. . P

~ Got 1T AT LAST.—Several of the local correspondents have heretofore been urging the editor of the BANNER to give them his religious experience. And now comes the editor and informs his readers that *he has been afflicted with eramps in his stomatch,” and that’ he took whisky, and it done him good. Since these inquigitive locals have at last heard from the editor, we hope they will now cease their clamor. . ‘ A’ Grariger brought to the stool of repentance, asked the prayers of the i}:Burch, remarking in a penitent tone that “his heart was as hard and dry as the bottom of an old hay stack.” . | When a fellow gets on a big drunk: in Michigan, they don’t call it by that name. It is called a severe attack of disp?mania. : Owing to the vexatious delay in the arrival of machinery, the Magnet Woolen Mills have not yet been sef in motion, but that important event is now daily expected. Our readers will bear in mind that our reports are generally handed in on ‘Monday, and never later than Tuesday, to insure publication. We offer this as an_excuse for sometimes seeming awkwardness and delay. - Our Summer term of school opened on Monday last, under the supervision of Mr. Trump and Miss Gray. Both come well recommended as gpo,g teachers, and we speak for them the most eminent success. : ; Those who are wont to violate the fish and game law had better “look a leetle out.” 'We have heard good men declare that uny man caught spearing fish, shooting woodcok, &c., in this vicinity, should be informed upon and ‘brought to speedy justice. We men~

tion this that all may take due notice, and govern themselves accordingly. The two words, “Soap-thief,” and “Pole-cat,” have become so excruciatingly disgusting that there is some talk of asking Mr. Webssser to strike them from his vocabulary. - - Geo. Shugy caught the biggest pike of the season. George wears the belt. The fish was not quite “fourteen inches between the eyes,” but then it was a whopper. 1t was purchased by the landlord of the Lake Side with a greenback, and made the guests thereof happy. e

Some of our sportsmen are making large preparations for spring and summer fishing. Bamboo poles, silk and hair.lines, floats, &e., are all the rage. Seventy-five dollars worth of these luxuries arrived by express in.one package. S ‘ . Some of our citizens are feeling after the Canada/Southern railroad. ‘Wm. Smurr, Esq., has left our town and moved to Indianapolis. . The assessors will be here shortly to enumerate the dorgs, &c. If you want to avoid Father McEwen, pay your taxes shortly. ; " The capital of Noble county is still at Albion. . , ' ALEXIS. KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. _ Carr Green has been in the city for several days, and while here sold his farm to Mr: Lyman. - L. E. Goodwin, Esq., left for Washington last Tuesday, to examine the records in a patent right case to which he is attending. - C. O. Myers is getting up a petition, asking to be retained as postmaster of this place, and hy superhuman efforts on the part of himself and a few friends, he is getting quite a number of signers. By an agreement with the officers of the Post Office Department, made at Fort Wayne not long since;, Myers was to go out of the of-. fice the last of next month, which agreement he is now trying to circum--vent by this petition. Whoever heard of people signing a petition to keep a a convicted criminal in office? I say convicted, because the Department have already passed judgment upon his case, which was to the effect that he must go out on the last of May. If he was not to go out, he needs no petitioners, and the petition itself is evidence of the action of the Department in the matter. No apprehension needs to be had from this petition if it were not for the perfidious action of the Hon(?) H. B. Sayler in this matter. If Ligonier can raise the money to build the county buildings, there can be a number of names obtained in ‘Wayne township for removal to that place. e ~ John R. Smith, with several assistants, succeeded in dragging a rabid drunken man—who threatened to exterminate the whole crowd, and would have done so had he not been held by main force—up into the mayor’s office and that official assessed a fine of one dollar. This small fine was so contrary to the maréhal;’s expectations that he told the mayor he would not again risk his life in that manner and have the act.so little appreeidted, but would hand in his resignation at the next meeting of the Board. : " Geo. B. Teal, late of Brimfield, has taken charge of the U. S. express agency at this place. = Mr. Teal is a firstclass business man and, we are told, contemplates purchasing property and permanently locating here. We bid all such a hearty welcome. Mrs. Myers returned last week. 1 am satisfied that she.is still watching events. : Quite a large number went from this place to Fort Wayne, on Tuesdhy, to attend the soldiers’.reunion. Sl . XAVIER. WAWAKA ITEMS. The lion is late this year. His majesty arrived this (Easter) mérning,‘ -and heis a real white lion. To-day" ladies go to church in over-shoes and: furs. : Two class and two prayer meetings ‘weekly in our town, but, no erusade is opened yet, although the ladies go heart and hand with thet noble, praying . band. May heaven’s choicest blessings attend them in their efforts to reclaim the poor dipsomaniac. Next Monday Mrs. Radabaugh, of Ligonier, will open a branch millinery ‘and fancy goods shop under H.H. Shoemaker’s photograph gallery. John F. Knepper visited Toledo last week and brought on some beautiful prints, free to all who have money to buy them. ‘

Gottlieb Schwab, our model shoemaker, has bought out ¥. Benson, and is making some improvements about the premises. Rev. G. W. Howe and lady are in Fort Wayne, attending Conference. P Rev, Kestler, that eccentric divine, preachied for us last Sabbath and during his sermon made some very laughable remarks about the satanic majesty. Bro. Isaac Tibbot said he never laughed out loud in meeting before, in.all his life. =~ We excused him, this being the first offense. . Henry Kime now -looks smilingly from behind his own counter. He is “paddling his own canoe,” his parther having gone to Silver Lake. | Mrs. Stage wishes to return her heartfelt thanks to those benevolent ladies, and others, who have so kindly ministered to her wants since the death of her daughter. Truly, charity like this will bring its reward. .

- We understand the Ligonier boys ‘were completely “skunked”’ by the Louisville lottery, at their last drawing. Verily, such is the case; somebody must lose in all such enterprises. Our M.

Rufus Barcus has erected the best dwelling in town. , We wish others would go and do likewise. _ ~Our friend, Aaron Moore, talks of moving to his farm, near Wolf Lake. ! DALE. NOBLESVILLE CHITCHAT Since the writing of our last local some of our kind citizens have been called to leave the shores of time, and there is no telling how soon our time will come, but while we‘are yet on the land and among the living we will try to give the readers of the BANNER an occasional item from this locality. - While making a plow beam one day last week, Elder Peter Winebrenner cut his leg pretty severely with an ax. I am informed that Mr. Geo. Hunts man, of Green township, narrowly escaped being killed one day last week, but.have not learned the particulars. Sleighing being something of an object this winter, some of our citizens were very busy drawing saw logs to the mill at this place on Monday. Two hams of meat stepped out of Dr. Gandy’s smoke-house last night. The thief came very near béing identified when he was seen walking between the wood-pile and corn crib and had his business been known he certainly would have been caught. I would advise him not to go hereafter when there is snow on the ground, nor to take such a big load; it makes him bend so in carrying it. However, he had good luck this time. - April 6. RuMBoO.

The removal of the county-seat to Kendallville has created quite an excitement throughout the county.
