LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. Nathaniel Acton, who lived about three miles nerth-east of this place, last Saturdav fell from a load of straw’ which he was bringing to town and broke his meck. Mr. Acton was subject to epileptic fits and.it is supposed that he was taken with one of these at that time.- The deceased had been elected constable of Wayne township at the last election and made a faithful officer. He was twenty-eight years of age and a good citizen. The funeral services, at the Disciple Church, on Sunday, were largely attended. = Johny Eichart, who has been sick for some time, is dead. : ‘ The Rev. Goodman in his discourse last Sunday stated that there :were thirty thousand dollars paid out for intoxicatin;é drinks in Kendallville during the last twelve months. Old Mr. Tucker, who had been living at John Crone’s for some time, was buried last Sabbath. Oc Helmer is resting very comfortably upon his new, easy chair. Herman Straus passed through this place, last Monday, on his way to Cincinnati, to attend the wedding of his nephew, J. Straus, jr. . Saw-logs are being drawn by upon sleds as I write, but the snow is melting rapidly. : - The motion t? make the corporation license for selling intoxicating liquors by the drink one hundred dollars was defeated at the last meeting of the council. *A. B. Park and John Mitehell supported, the motion and the balance of the council voted against it. Jackson Iddings, living north-west of this place, has large fields of wheat that look well, while pieces not more than eighty rods djstant are nearly ruined. 'THis proves to me that there is much in properly preparing and manuring the ground to have the crop withstand the winter. . ;

A Miss Mary Neal, whose father once owned 160 acres of land adjoin~ ing the late Jerome Sweet’s old farm, near which he was killed, delivered two temperance lectures in this place last week. She dubs the’ saloons of the country “national altars” and believes that God overthrew slavery and will intemperance. She says Gen. Grant is composed of beef-steak, whisky and tobacco smoke. = C. O. Myers will soon have the opportunity of again reiterating his innocency and his wife’s criminality in the post-officé case, and it is the opinion of many that Uncle Sam will take care of him in a penitentiary instead of a post office, soon.

“Tink Wadsworth’s” special friend, C. O. Myers, will soon take up his residence;at Michigan City. “Them’s our sentiments.” - L Mrs. Myers is out of town. The action of her husband may compel the atthorities to send for her. : The residence of Robert Dykes’ parents, near Fort Wayne, was burned with everything in it last Sunday.— The old gentleman is about eighty years of.age. = - George Shine has purchased property on Main street and is fixing it up for a residence. ke , Adam Feehl keeps temperance time, and railroad time also. : James Nellis’ sale of his Main street property proved a failure. ! A brick-yard has been opened up just north of town. “Alexis’” Kendallville post office item of last week will cause him some trouble with “Pole-cat.” The President’s veto is mainly satisfactory to the people of this city.— The query is, how did Grant know that that was right ? . Flint, the man who married Mrs. Andrews of this place last winter, was given thirty dollars, by his wife, on condition that ‘he would leave the country and never return. e has -skedaddlz ‘ XAVIER. SUSNY SIDE NOTES.

We this week are called upon to record the death of Uncle John Smith, of the Hawpatch, an event which has been anticipated for the past six weeks. The suffering he endured is past description, but terrible as his misery was he remained perfectly rational untilrelieved by the icy hand of death which occurred on Tuesday evening of last week. e had outlived man’s allotted time, having attained the ripe age of 79 years. Deceased was born in Shenandoah county, Virginia, December 16th, 1794, from whence he emigrated with his parents to Licking county, Ohio, in the year 1811, being then about seventeen years of age.— At the age of twenty-one: or two he married Mary Wilson, by whom he raised a large family, four of whom, one daughter (Mrs. Tsaac Pancake) and three gsons, survive him.. In the spring of 1852 he with his’ wife and three sons, Adam, Samuel and Wm. A., moved to this county and located on the farm where he died. - In August of 1857 Uncle John’s wife died and left him alone, their children having all maried previous to that time. In February, 1859, he married Catharine Francis, who still survives him. The deceased was a worthy member of the Old School Baptist Church, with which he has been identified for forty years. During his protracted illness all that a devoted wife and . affectionate children could do efor a beloved husband and tather was done. Last Thursday his remains were followed by a large number of relatives and friends to the Salem Cemetery, where a very appropriate and impressive discourse was preached by Elder Z. Thomas, from the twelfth and thirteenth verses of the fourteenth chapter of Revelations. Uncle John was an affectionate husband, a kind father, a clever neighbor and a good citizen. Barbara, eldest daughter of Robert and-Caroline Fox, died last Thursday, having been for several years severely afflicted with spinal disease, which had rendered her a cripple. She was an unusually bright and intelligent child and fully realized that her time on earth was short. She often expressed a desire that she might recover, until a few days before her death,

when she became perfectly 'resigned to God’s will. Her remains were interred in the Ligonier Cemetery last Friday. The parents have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood in their sad bereavement. g

The remains of Hattie 8., wife of C. E. Penny, of Fort Wayne, and a daughter of Richard Billman, deceased, was brought to Wawaka to-day (Monday) and buried in the Springfield grave-yard, by the side of the graves of her parents. o The prospect for a bountiful wheat crop in this neighborhood is not as flattering as it might be, although some chance fields look excellent.— That sown on clover sod is least damaged. But in passing from Poplar Corner (four miles north-east of us) west to Salem Chapel the prospect is very flattering. Last Saturday we traveled from Ligonier south to Indian Village. The wheat-fields in that direction generally present a sorrowful appearance. A.H.S. . CROMWELL SPARKLES. . The first Saturday in May will be the time for the Teachers’ Institute. The teachers of the township are all expected to be promptly in attendance. We herewith append somewhat of a directory of our town. We have two dry goods houses, one drug store, one grocery and restaurant, two shoe shops, two blaksmith, carriage, wagon and paint shops, etc. We need a hardware store and one harness shop to complete the line of merchandising. We have two M. Ds. and other professional and business enterprises too numerous to mention, and when the B. & 0. Railroad is completed we expect to enlarge. e : Isaiah Campbell has purchased alot of B. F. Messmore and intends building thiis summer. - Rev. Graham, the new Methodist minigter, preached his first sermon here last Sunday. ! : The growing wheat in 'this'vicinity looks very poor. The yield will probably not be mdre than half a crop. There is considerable sickness here, mostly among children. i N. P. Eagles is talked of for- Representative. He is a good man and eminently fitted for the position. Let it be understood that we calculate upon a western man to occupy that stand in the coming contest.

We noticé in the Ligonier locals that Daniel Keehn is talked of for Sheriff. It should be remembered that Dan is a good man ‘and competent to fill the position, but he lives in Perry township and you know that Cromwell sends up the next sheriff.

G. W. Reed met with a sad accident last Monday. He had started to the country to get a load of hay, and on the way his team became frightened ‘and ran away. The wagon was upset and Mr. Reed dragged under it until he could hold on no longér, when he dropped the lines. The team ran a short distance when they struck a tree in the road, killing one of the horses instantly. Fortunately, Mr. R. escaped with but slight injury. ' DALE. = ROME CITY NEWS, ' With this number of the BANNER we will (for the present at least) throw up the sponge and cease our labors as local reporter for the City of Rome, ‘trusting and hoping that some other local scribbler may at once seize the pen and wield it with greatér power and in a much more acceptable manner than it has been in my power to do. When we commenced our labors, this part of the county was entirely destitute of local reports in the BANNER. We volunteered our services for an indefinite period to let the readers of the BANNER know that there was such a place in Noble county as Rome City 4nd further that:it is a manufacturing town, pgpulated with ‘an energetic and intelligent class of people who are entitled to respect from every quarter. We have from week to week given a faithful record of improvements, incidents, accidents, calamities, and amusements, &ec., &c. These we -have given without fear, favor or affection, assuming the entire ‘responsibility thereof. We have been more regular in our reports and have continued for a greater length of time ‘than we anticipatéd at the commence‘ment. If we have been the means of ~doing any"good, we are amplv repaid for our labor. If we have been the ‘cause of any harm, it was an error of the head and not of the heart. -We carefully avoided all personalities, as we have no friends to reward nor enemies to punish. With these few explanations and apologies, we respectfully ‘make our bow and politely and indef(initely retire from the columns of the BANNER. - : = o s/

J. Calvin Hall has returned from the East to greet his many friends. at the Lake Side. It is his intention, in conjunction with his brother; L. R. Hall, to proceed at once to ;p_ut_ fghe Rome City Woolen Mills in métion. The lake steamer, Maple Leaf, has been put in thorough repair (except painting) and has been making daily trips up the lake since Tuesday of last week. ; : The Teachers’ Institute met here ladt Saturday. It was kept 8o quiet that we did not-find it out until it was .over. Consequently we have no report. Hope they had an interesting time. g i : We learn that the citizens of Ligonier are making gigantic efforts and really believe that they have some prospect of the location of the capitol at that place. « They have thus far outstretched and distanced Kendallville in the race. They are commendable for their perseverance, but from this point it looks like their chances for the county seat were about equal to that of being struck by lightning. S. W. Dodge and Charley Holmes, of Lagrange, were in town on Saturday afternoon, took a pleasant excursion up the lake on the steamer, and amused themselves in fishing. Mr. Dodge is preparing to start a hotel in Lagrange, and Mr. Holmes we ‘bélieve has some notion of taking an agency for a new and improved granger plow. Stephen Emery, of Ligoniyr,;ﬁgs in town a short time on Saturday. Steve’s hair begins to indicate the frosts of many winters, but his mind and body

are umimpaired and full of life and vigor. : The young U. B. preacher delivered his first sermon here on Sunday night; a good congregation and a very fair sermon.. - . / ' President’ Grant’s action in vetoing the finance bill meets with universal condemnation among the Romanites. Business cannot be carried on successfully without currency, and no branch of business feels this moreforcibly than the manufacturing department. On Monday las Geo. Shuey caught a string of fish as long as a fence rail. The machinists from North Andover, Mass,, are busily engaged in putting on mule attachments to the jacks in the Magnet Woolen Mills. : A patent butter maker from Brimfield visited our town on Monday last. He .sells a compound from which a person can manufacture a pound of butter from a pound of milk. How is that for high? He churned at the post office and gave the P. M. the butter. Dr. W. H. Nimmon, of Wawaka, was called in consultation with Doctor Williams of this place to see a patient just north of town on Monday last. The editor of the Wolcottville Regis) ter' thinks it will probably be fortf years before he will remove his office to Rome. . Well! well! If the Register should be alive at that time or even forty months from now, we will think of the question and “argy the pint.” ' John Repine can build locomotives. I. E. Knisely, Esq.,sold the traps and calamities belonging to the estate of G. W Geisendorff on the 24th inst.— Very low was thé price for which they were sold. The first crusader made her appearance in town on Saturday last. Owing to some mistake of the advance advertiser, the Buckeye Broad Ax made his appearance here on Monday, and by the most earnest solicita+ tion of nearly the entire pepulation, lectured in the M. E. Church on Monday evening to a crowded house. His lecture was interesting, pleasing and sentimental, and will no doubt be the means of doing much good. He thinks that “the year of Jubilee has come.” Temperance lectures by Mrs. Neal, Broad Ax (alias Rev. Chance) and the Chief Good Templar of the State were delivered here on Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, successively. - The Good Templars Lodge (defunct) has been resurrected and will soon be in full blast. Another elegant snow storm on Monday night and Tuesday forenoen. Pretty rough for April 27th. “Winter lingers in the lap of summer.” ; | :

Wheat on sandy ground in this vicinity looks fair, but on clay ground it is ausgespielt, , 1 In consequence of the.little Grange in this place having died, been buried, and consigned to oblivion, we feel inclined- to transpose the epitaph the darkey dedicated to Tom Paine and inscribe it to its memory and say: Poor little Granger, here he lies, Nobody laughs and nobody cries! Where he is gone or how he fares, + Nobody knows aud nobody cares. - . ALEXIS. S : - —The Ligonier House changes proprietorship this week. Sam Wise retires and is succeeded by Mr. Frank Brown, an experienced and very accommodating land-lord. :

. —We are pleased to learn that Mr. E. D. Meagher has succeeded in purchasing an interest in the South Bend Iron Works. Ed. is on the high road to success in accumulating “filthy lucre.” —Mr. Judson Palmiter has sold his Oceana County Journal to Mr. Saunders. Whether or not Bro. Palmiter intends to retire permanently from the journalistic profession, we are not able to state. * ' - : —The directors of the Noble County Agricultural Society met here last Friday and agreed upon a premfium list for the next Fair. As some revisions are yetto be made, several weeks will elapse before the list is ready for publication. :

—Senator Sarnighausen, of Fort Wayne, honored us with a pleasant call last Thursday evening.. This was his first visit to Ligonier, and he expressed himself in flattering terms of the business-like appearance of our town. Herb Fassett, of South Bend, also favored us with a visit at the same time. i

—On Tuesday morning everybody was surprised to discover the landscape covered with several inches of snow, and more coming. We apprehend those of our industrious meighbors who “made garden” before Easter were not overjoyed at the sight, while all séemed to see but little to admire in “the beautiful snow.” From our exchanges we learn that the inhabitants of some of the eastern States have also been visited by a terrible snow {st‘#)rin, covering the ground in some places to the depth of three feet. 4 —We are authorized to state that Prof. G. A. Ainsworth’s Hawpatch Class will probably repeat in this place, next week, the concert they gave at Salem two weeks ago. The concert at Salem was very largely at;tended and from all reports gave excellent satisfaction. Prof. Ainsworth is just in his element when at the head of ‘a good class, and his concerts are rendéred all the more attractive by reason of “sprinkling in” a good deakof wholesome fun. We are assured that the concert next week will be among the ‘best with which our town has been favored for many years. - e
