Rheubottom, of Kendallville, was here on a visit a few days since. He has recently been relieved of the mail ageney on the Grand Rapids road —for what reason, has not transpired.

—Chan. N.'Fassett, of the Union, . has received the Democratic-Liberal nomination for'ecity clerk of South Bend. ' If qualification is made the issue, Chan will easily distance his 7'7ibune competitor. " . —We were pleased to see upon our | streets, last Friday, Mr. W.

—MTr. Joseph Clayton, one of the substantial - farmers of Washington township, this county, informs us that the wheat crop in that township bids fair to be an abundant one so far as the sandy soil is concerned. In other soil the prospects are extremely poor.

Miraculous as it may sound,. no gerious injuries weresustained by either of the persons above mamed. The horses did not escape quite so.luckily, one of them being rendered entirely worthless for further service. The proba bilities are that Mr. Friend will bring an action against the county for dam

MQCAL CONTRIRTTIONS " ROME CITY ITEMS. : ~ In order to give our readers a small squint at the magnitude and import--anee of the City of Rome, in the county of Noble and State of Indiana, we will be permitted to say that we have two drug stores, one mmvtwo woolen factories, one flouring mill, two clothes-racks manufactories, one shingle factory, one shoe shop, one meat shop, one hotel; three boarding houses, three blacksmith shops,” two wagonmaker shops, two churches, one school buiding, (the second or third best in the country.) We have a prospect of a harness shop and hardware store, both of ‘which aré badly needed. We have a population of about five hundred, and-no paupers. We have the Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad. and a brilliant prospect for the Canada. Southern. We have the finest mineral springs in the country and the bean-~: tiful lake and natural scenery makesour town one of the most pleasant ‘places for summer resort in the State. . T.M. Eells, Esq., our present and “very efficient superintendent of com‘mon schools, stayed over night here ‘on Wednesday of last week. He is engaged in visiting the schools in Orange township. He makes a favorable report on all thus far visited. ' The Kendallville Blandard has thrown up the spongs and given up the county-seat question as a lost prize. Ligonier never did manifest much interest in the matter. We hope now ‘that all parties will rest contented and ‘not torment poor Albion any more.— 1, We never did think there was any ; danger of a transfer and we now hope ‘that agitation is entirely over. Bro. Miller, the local editor of the Kendallville Standard,says that “there was a little dance at the Lake Side House on Friday nightlast.” We can scarcely imagine what induced Jimmy to use the word little. We feel very sure that if this dance had taken place /in the city of Kendallville, he would have been willing to call it a huge af- . ~ : The Magnet Woolen Mills have been and are still buying cord wood’ and they pay for the same by the cord and they want wood dealers to understand emphatically that it takes 128 feet solid measure for a cord, and no wood will be received or paid for except upon full measurement. Thereseems to be more hornswoggling in the wood business than in any other branch of trade under the whole canopy. of heaven. .

' Ben. Barnhart, of ligonier, traveled late on Monday evening of last week i{n order to get to the Lake Side House ;where he could get a square meal and a soft bed and have a pleasant time generally. On Tuesday forenoon he gobbled up five new subseribers to the BANNER, attended to some unfinished business, and then departed in, peace. We are next to hear from Ben. in the feather business, headquarters at Bryon, Ohio. 1 .

We are pleased to say that the irregularity in_our mails have been improved if not entirely remedied. This is a matter of which we hated to growl, but the annoyance had come to such a point that forbearance ceased to be a virtue.. We done only what we conceived to be our duty in the case, and are heartily pleased that the matter has been so speedily and easily remedied. ' 2

1t pains us to think that quitea number of those whom we esteem as our best citizens, in total disregard of both the laws of God and man, violated a portion of the moral code by fishing on Sunday last. We most earnestly wish that this practice could be entirely dispensed with and a better example set hefore the young and rising generation. o e It is generally conceded by the know?® ing ones that there will be a change in the Kendallville P. O. about the last of next'month. If this proves true, it will give President Grant another chance to attest his sympathy for the soldier. Or if, as it is said, Maj. H. B. Sayler carries tha destinies of these fellows (P. M’s.) in his trowsers pocket, it will afford him a chance to sympathize with ' his brother soldier— his widowed daughter, sister or mother.— The Major is already censured for being quite forgetful, and now we will wait patiently to see whether the soldier is remembered or whether he is lost sight of and crowded out by some old political hack. ; E. P. Harrington, formerly of the Magnet Mills, is now near David City, Nebraska. He writes that “the West is a large country and rapidly improv-

ing.” He is “living on a farm, has got tobe a Granger, has a nice squaw and everything is lovely,” E. is a bully boy; he will do to travel. Suprised to hear that E. has got to be a Granger. Wo(nd;er if there'is any Granger in his squaw ? Guess not much. ; Ed. F. Woodruff, formerly of Ligonier, was in town on Saturday. He has purchased a farm near Brimfield. Sensible!

The loss is nearly cov‘ered by insurance. The furniture and provisions ~were all saved, though (somewhat damaged of course. If the hose of the fire engine had not bursted the loss would have been light. The fire originated: from a defective flue, but just how is not known. The Dr. has moved into Mr. Abel’s house, in ‘'which he formerly resided. . The fire company propose to ask the city to buy them four -hundred feet of new hose. y #R P A B David Walling was appeinted school director by the couneil at their last meeting. Quite a serious question has arisen, as to whether the board can re-organize. Mr. Colgrove holds’ that they cannot. ‘He thinks that the newly-appointed member takes the place of the retiring one, and it is said that Judge Morris thinks that the law makes no provisions for a re-organiza-tion. However, the majority thought differently, and they re-organized.— The question may be tested in the courts. - . ;

R Ll L .~ A gentleman from Piereeton was here a few ‘days ago looking for a location fora grist-mill. He was much pleased with his visit and said that if one acre of ground was donated to the company, the citizens of Cromwell and vicinity should have the advantage of a-splendid grist-mill in their midst. We think it advisable to shell out the shads and procure the ground, as such a treat should be highly appreciated by all interested. ° “ One corréspondent says the capit:ﬁ is still at Albion. ‘'We say verily, an is likely to remain there.

Barbarous Treatmentof a Little Girl. A telegram from New York says a little girl about ten, years of age,of un%(nown parentage, has been kept in a treatment house by some wretches, ‘Who have subjected her to a cruel flogging' daily for some weeks, with the evident purpose of ending her life,— The piteous cries of the little one aroused the sympathy of the neighbors, who had her remoyed by the officers and her persecutors.arrested, Thereis no reason assigned for the barbarous treatment, and the whole affair is iy volved in mystery. Hints are thrown out, however,that an investigation will develop a species of baby-farming of even greater atrocity than any that has yet. come to the notice of the public.

JOHN MORROW on Tuesday took his departure for the Miehigan pineries and contemplates making his future lé%e about twenty miles. west of yreenville,. in that State. Perry’s Prairie has lost one of her oldest boys and Michigan will gain a worthy citizen. John came to Noble county with his parents in 1833, being then a child of three years, and has ever since l@d on fPerry’s*Praim, just south of% Ligonier. During all these years he never engaged in a quarrel or a lawsuit, but in every particular was an honest man, and well has he for many years worn the familiar title of “Honest John.” His old friends, and he has hosts of them in this county, will ‘heartily regret his departure and wish ‘him long life and success in his new home. The Masonic fraternity, of which he has been a consistent member for many years, will also miss his genial countenance within their coun_cil chambers, Success go with him.

_ The dead-lock in the Massachusetts Legislature was last Friday brought to an end by the election of Gov. William B. Washburn to'the vacancy created by Mr. Summer’s death, all of Mr. Hoar’s supporters and a majority { of Mr. Dawes’ casting their votes fori him. Senator Washburn’s term of office will expire on the 4th of March next, and the real contest for the Senatorship will come off in the approaching election for members of the Legislature. - . ‘ The ballot was as foMows: Whole number of votes, 265; necessary to a choice, 133; Dawes, 92; Hoar, 93; Curtis, 67; Banks, 7; Adams, 4; Washburn, 1; Whittier, 1. - A recess was then taken until two o’clock, when the thirty-second ballot was taken, with the following result: ‘Whole number of votes cast, 265; necessary to a choice, 133.

Gifford, 1; John G. Whittier, 1. . —— el S P : - THE great war which has beéen going on for several months past between the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio railroad companies has been brought to a close. The contest had its origin in a struggle between the two companies for the control of business, both freight and passenger, between New York and Washington. The reduction of through fares to the ‘West was only an incident of the war, that meagsure being first inaugurated by the Baltimore & Ohio company in the belief that it wonld hurt the Pennsylvania company far more than itself, and thus compel a cessation of | hostifities. It has so proven, and after several conferences of the leading officials of both roads, a settlement has been effected, including a fair division ~of the business on the eastern lines, ‘and amicable running arrangements. 'The war being ended the old rates for i through passenger and freight busi.ness between the East and West are to be restored at once on both lines. Trees and Plants. - Will the people of Ligonier and vicinity remember that I have a few Apple and Pear trees, Raspberries, Blackberries, Strawberries and Grapés, to sell this Spring to those who want them. I have no faculty to sell to those who do not wish it. ~ I am getting a few true Upland Cranberries, and when I have planted and grown them, proved that they are not currants, I shall have them also for sale to those who want them. - I shall be thankful also for orders for such trees and plants as I have not yet in growth.
