—We are in receipt of a new eightcolumn independent weekly, bearing the title Mail and Magnet, and published by Brooke & Clarke in the town of Plymouth, Ind. Its typographical appearance is faultless, and if a little more care had been observed in proofreading: and in the construction of sentences, a like compliment might be bestowed upon its contents. It is well filled with local items and gives general evidences of commendable enterprise. e el .

~The daily papers of last Friday published an important item of rail- . road news. It is to the effect that an agreement has been signed by representatives of theChicago & Northwestern and Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Companies to subscribe. $2,500,000 - éach for the completion of the Canada Southern Railroad. Bondholders of the road have pledged 02£00,000 for the same purpose. Now let the officers order the road to be built at once on the Rome City and Ligonier line, and we’'ll all be happy. ~ :

‘ "IN FULL BmT., ' The Reynolds Toy ‘Farniture Compa- _ my of Ligenier. The anticipations of a few months since have now developed into the real. The public spirit of our citizens has secured to our town ‘one more beneficial addition. The confidence reposed by our people in Mr. Reynolds, of Chicago, has not been misplaced; the pecuniary aid tendered to him in behalf of his factory has done its perfect work, and on Tuesday morning Tast the quiet stillness of the morning air reverberated with the shrill whistle from the above-named establishment. Ligonier can proudly boast of having the largest Toy Furniture and Parlor Bracket manufdcturing establishment in the country. A visit to this establishment will convince the most skeptical that this is really a great success, a most gratif'ying‘a& complishment, .and will doubtless prove an epoch in the history of our town. ; o Thirteen different machines are in play, each, with i#s busy hum, adding to the grand musical harmony of the whole. : L

Jig-saws, circular-saws, planes, re-sawing-machines, moulding-machines, ete., will be kept in constant operation, all driven by the force of a new thirty-horse-power engine and con?uming weekly several thousand feet of walnut lumber—more than by any other similar establishment in the country. Aside from the work done by the machinery, much is done by hand, such as carving leaves, vines, flowers, and all the various ornamental appendages to the class of goods here manufactured. Every conceivable design of bracket 1s manufactured.by the wholesale, thus furnishing employment for twenty-two laborers, thirteen of whom are already at work and the remaining nine will speedily be added. The large trade of this company is rapidly increasing, notwithstanding the drawback incident to the removal of the factory from Chicago to this place. | The facilities of the Company will enable them to fill any and all ‘orders, however large, with that promptness which gained for it so enviable a reputation in Chicago. . The ware-rooms are at the factory, opposite the Empire Mills, and at 108 West Madison street, Chicago, where all ‘desirous of examining their goods are invited to call.

To the citizens of Ligonier a' cordial invitation is especially tendered to visit the factory.

~ —Capt. J. A. 8. Mitchell, of Goshen, was in town on professional business, last Friday. : . -—lf you wantj to pass an evening pleasantly and profitably, go to hear Carleton next Saturday evening.

—Hon. D. S. Scott left for Ohio last Monday, to visit friends and relatives at Xenia and surrounding country. —Religious services in the Town Hall next Sabbath forenoon and evening, by Rev. Rufus Clark of the Free Baptist denomination. * A cordial invitation is extended to the public in general. —Peterson’s National Ladies’ Magazine for June is received. The present. number seems prettier than any preceding issue, which is saying a good deal, from the fact that “Peterson” has always been a charming publication. : i '

—We have- paid some attention to the official doings of the Superintendent of Public Schools of Lagrange county, and as a result of our observations are impelled to pronounce him one of the most active, industrious and efficient educators in Northern Indiana. His views on educational affairs are eminently practical. It would be well if every county in the State were favored with a superin-tendent-of like merit. :

—Marshal ‘Braden last Tuesday received a telegram from Leipsig, Ohio, containing this inquiry: “Any body killed lately ? If so, what reward for criminal?” = The author of this message evidently is not familiar with the condition of affairs in this conymunity, else he would have known, firstly, that the kilking business is not carried on here, and, secondly, that our people have no occasion to offer rewards for criminals, who are never allowed to escape but invariably experience the ticklish touch of the halter. ,

—We are in receipt of advance sheets of an appendix to Anderson’s Grammar School History of the United! States, embracing a “Brief History of Indiana,” prepared by Prof. James A. Barns, the talented Superintendent of Public Schools of DeKalb county. An examination 'of'the work satisfies us that the Professor has done his work well. Having made 'the history of Indiana a special study, and being an experienced teacher, we deem Prof. Barns peculiarly qualified to present to the school children of our State a history which few writers can equal and none excel. : i

—We understand that our Methodist friends were no little chagrined if not shocked by the “prayer” offered in their church last Sabbath by a fanatical anti-masonic -ecrusader commonly known here as “Rev.” Leuty. Shamefully abusing the courtesy extended him by the officiating minister, Leuty proceeded to supplicate the Almightyin this strain: “O Lord, destroy the curse of secretism and send the secret demons to their own native hell and all those that support it.” - This ‘man, who thus desecrated the temple of God, is the leading spirit of an organization styling itself “Association of Christians Opposed to Secret Societies.” We are happy to state that a number of anti-masons openly disapprove and denounce the fiendish utterances of this half-crazed fanatic.

LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS . ROME CITY NEWS. EpITOR NATIONAL BANNER:—It seqms that “Alexis” has quit.furnishing you with local news and has goue on a visit to see his friends in Ohio, and there have been so many important items transpiring here within the past few days that it is a pity, nay more, it is a shame, that the reports should not be sent in and published in the BANNER. We have become so accustomed to look for the arrival of the BANNER on Thursday, and eagerly grab it to see what has transpired in our young city during the week, that we can scarcely reconcile ourselves te the fact that this very interesting portion of your paper has disappeared.. Therefore, rather than let Rome City go by default, I hope you will excuse a female who makes no pretensions to the “strbng-minded class,” for furnishing you with a scribble. : ‘ Mr. Chance (Buckeye Broadax) has been here and delivered a lecture on temperance. Also Mrs. Neal, whom Masons would call a “lesser light,” delivered a couple of lectures on the same subject. Then came Mr. Reynolds, the Most Worthy Chief Templar of the State, and delivered a very excellent lecture, after which he reorganized the Good Templars’ Lodge. They started out with a membership of fifty-five and large numbers are beéing added every Saturday evening, which i$ the night of our regular lodge meeting. We believe this to be one of the most important things that have transpired in our village for lo these many years. It is not the intention of our lodge to persecute but to look closely after violations of the Baxter law, and those who willfully do this thing had better “stand from under.” The sentinels are now upon duty and will report in due season to the grand jury of the gounty. A terrible calamity occurred here on Sunday of last week, that is the burning of the Rome City Woolen Mills. ' Just as the bell was 'ringing for church in the afternoon, smoke was _discovered issuing from the roof of the main building. The alarm of fire was heard and the entire popula-l tion, without regard to age or sex, ‘were soon at the scene of destruction, all hands assisting in every possible mannér to save as much as the raging flames would permit from the devouring element, and by almost superhu‘man efforts nearly all the goods, wool, ete., were saved. But in one short hour the entire buildings, with all their valuable machinery and fixtures, were leveled to the earth, .a smoking pile of ruins. Many of the employes who had been idle all winter and were patiently waiting and expecting to immediately go to work, had their hopes blasted and have now a dark future before them. Some of these we learn have secured employment in the Magnet Mills; others have gone elsewhere. The loss falls heavily upon the owners, who were but partially insured, and is alsoa great misfortune to Messrs. L. R. & J. C. Hall, who had the property leased for years to come, but terrible is the loss to our town, a large portion of which was directly dependent upon that factory for their means of support. :

There has been considerable talk lately about a elub-house from Fort Wayne coming here, purchasing Kerr’s Island, erecting buildings, propagating fish, etc., etc., but as we have nothing more than rumor we cannot speak with certainty. We hope the rumor may prove true, and that in future our beautiful lake shall abound with trout, salmon, mackerel, and many other kinds of fish not now found in ita.waterd, . 0 .

The Lake Side House, we notice, has been overrun with visitors from a distance for several days. Many prominent parties from Fort Wayne spent last Sunday there. Among them were the mayor of that city, the county officers of Allen county, and many more from that and other places. The lake steamer carried them on an excursion up the lake on Sunday - evening and all seemed to enjoy themselves finely. ‘We should have been glad to have enjoyed the ride with them, but a poor mortal who is under the command of a husband must, to a certain extent, be subject to his bidding, as well as to look after him a little when out late at night. D - If you think this scribble worthy of a place in your paper, you can correct all errors and publish it, and you may in some future time hear again from : NANCY !JANE:

CROMWELL SPARKLES. Many hearts are made glad because of the*warming . influence of the sun upon our mother earth, but rain is needed, and no doubt the farmers of this locality are daily offering up prayers for a warm, gentle shower, that vegetation may spring up more rapidly, as feed is rather searce just now. ! :

Hostilities were about to be commenced in our little village the other evening. Battles were offered but modes detested and all is again quiet on the Potomae. No blood shed.

Our farmers are busily engaged in putting in their spring crop: Our Institute last Saturday passed off in Quaker style. A programme of our next teachers’ institute is as follows: Reading, Arithmetic, Grammar, Geography, Essay, Physiology and the Question Drawer. Only one male teacher among the ten in the township.

- Mr. J. Baker says he has twentyseven lambs with his flock of sheep, and all of the feminine gender, with but a single exception. Forehand, one of the horse-tamers, got shot at Ligonier last Saturday, the ball entering the muscle of the arm and lodging near the elbow on the opposite side. We have not learned the particulars.

; Mr. Cornelius Umble, who resided near Indian Village, after a sojourn of three score and ten years, left for the other shove last Thursday, May 7th. : i . Mrs, Devault, wife of Elisha De-

vault, left the cares and turmoils of this evil world on Saturday, May oth; aged about forty-five years. She is the first who has died out of a family of eleven children. A very able and impressive discourse was delivered on the occasion by the Rev. Graham, in the M. E. Church. Thirty-five teams accompanied the hearse to the Cemetery. : DALE.

- WAWAKA ITEMS. | Wawaka boasts of being minus a saloon. - Still we are visited frequently of late by temperance lecturers.— Last evening Elder A. E. Mahin, pastor of the M. E. Church of Elkhart, and formerly of this place, lecturedl to a large crowd on the subject of temperance. Although we have no saloon, the speaker said there are five gallons of liquor sold per day at one of our drug storeg. IHe thinks we are a sickly set. Elder Blainy, of Kendallville, was here also and made a few interesting remarks on the subject. - "Our old friend, N. H. Dodge, wasin town last Saturday with his hand in a sling. We asked him what had happened, and he replied that his finger, coming in too close proximity to hissaw (he has a saw-mill), had been taken off between the first and second joints. ' : v Rev. M. M. Dodge preached a good, practical sermon at the M. E. Church last Sunday evening. : The Dunkers are -erecting a nice brick church about half a mile southeast of here, and we understand the Baptists are going to erect one in this place. 'We hope they will, and wish them a hearty God speed. T.R.Y.

SPRINGFIELD NUDGETS. EpITOR BANNER:—As we have not seen a local from this place, we thought we would write one. The people of this place and vicinity have organized a Sabbath school, and we can say the Superintendent and Teachers are doing all in their power to make it interesting. Prayer meeting once a week; on Wednesday evening. . The Rev. Mr. Dodge preached at this place on last Sabbath. : ; The farmers of this vicinity have just commenced planting corn. Early potatoes are planted. Wheat on sandy ground looks as usual, while that on clay ground, as a general thing,is very poor. ' We know of fields that will not yield as much asthe seed that was sown on them. The prospects of a fruit crop is very encouraging. i 7 A Boy.

A Slight Mistake. Stark Co., Onro, May 11, 1874. Mg. EprTor:—l noticed in your paper of April 30th that S. N, Pence was nominated for Sheriff of Noble county, Ind., by the “anti” convention, and:that Mr. C. G. Fait represented him as being the man f“cut out for the office.” He (Fait) also stated {that Mr. Pence served in that capacity in Ohio. Good, reliable men in this neighborhood who knew Mr.' Pence for a number of years, have no knowledge of him ever being Sheriff” of Stark or any other eounty. o " . - I am under the impression that Mr. Fait made a “slight” mistake. He undoubtedly meant “School Director,” instead of Sheriff. Or, perhaps, Pence was elected under a fictitious name. He always was willing to accept of most any office, but as he conld not elect himself, his fond wish was never gratified. BUCKEYE.

Correction. EpiTOR BANNER, Dear Sir:—ln your editorial of last week you stated that Mr. Pence’s acquaintances contradict my statement in regard to Mr., Pence having held the position of county sheriff in Ohio. In reply, I would say that I learned from Mr. Pence himself, only one day before learning it from your paper, that his acquaintances have a right to contradict said statement, as, to my great surprise, Mr. Pence informs me that the report is without foundation. But what as‘tonishes me still more, is that Mr. Pence did not correct the statement referred to while in convention, as he was present and heard it, knowing it to be a mistake. €. G. FAIT.

A New School-House for the Latta ' Settlement. : The readers of the BANNER will remember that some time during last winter Mr. R. S. Latta published in this paper a lengthy statement relative to the petition of himself and his neighbors for the erection of anew school house in that locality, and freely criticising "the refusal of Trustee Dunning to accede to the wishes of the petitioners. The question being submitted to County Superintendent Eells, that gentleman took the matter under advisement and 4 few days since jrendered his decision, which reads as follows: : : L, J. DUNNING, Esq,., Trustee Perry Township, : : * Dear Sir :—R. S. Latta, Josiah Hockert and others petitioned you to establish and to. locate a school and to build a school house on the south west corner of the east half of the south east quarter of section seventeen in Perry township. £ .

| Your decision was adverse to the petitioners and they appealed. : ~ Should the request of your petitionérs have been granted? is the issue now to be decided. Section ten of the new school law makes it incumbent on the Township Trustees to establish and locate, conveniently, “a sufficient number: of schools for the education” of the children in their respective townships. It can haﬁdly be said that the schools in north western Perry. are located conveniently for the education of the children of those/who have appealed from your action in this cq%e. . : - ut a relocation of those.schools is not advisable. Their patrons want them to remain where they now are and their wishes in the matter deserve much consideration. ; The :removal of the Good Hope school house south would create great discontent as also would a removal of the Blake school house. . ‘The most satisfactory solution of the difficulty seems to be the one proposed by the gentlemen who petitioned you in this case. ; / " The petitioners are entitled to the location of a school and the jerection of a school house on the site indicated 'in their petition. Yours, very truly, 5 T. M. EELLS, AvrnioN, Inp., May 11th, 1874,

EXPLANATORY CARD FROM MR. DUNNING. |

Citizens of Perry Township :—You will recollect reading in the NATIONAL BA.NNEIE, last winter, a lengthy epistle by R. S. Latta, and others, who petitioned me as Trustee of Perry, township for the locating and building | of anew school house on' the south east quarter of section 17, which, after taking the matter under due consider4tion, I refused to grant for the folllowing reasons: 1 Ist. It 'was locating it in the bend of the river where it could not be reached even by all of the petitioners without crossing the river, and,- as there’ was no bridge for children to cross, and not likely to be, it consequently could be of little or no benefit except to those on the north side, and those living in the immediate vicinity. 2d. The Good Hope school house, (which ig old and only one mile from the Bowser school) could be relocated a little furtlier south on the road—say one-half mile,—~thereby accommodating all parties without necessitating the building Pf two new school houses; which Mr. Latta said virtually would accommodate him, but wasnot “where he wanted it.” o 3d. Itis,besides the cost tothe township for building, dividing the public ‘'sehool fund into too many parts, so that no district can keep a three months’ free school without raising funds from the patrons of the school. We have now 12 districts and draw not quite $1,200 for the winter term, and a little over $3OO for the summer term. | Now, add another district, and the amount for each district will be lessened considerably, and the end is not yet. Other portions of the township are more destitute of school privileges than the one petitioned for; so in the end we will have 15 or 16 school houses to build and support. These were my prineipal reasons for refusing to grant their request. The petitioners appealed to the County Superintendent, who has reversed my decision and granted their petition, thus necessitating the building of two (instead of one) school houses in one district as now enumerated at the expense of the people of Perry township. . L. J. DUNNING.

HAviNg for some months been accustomed to observing the “reflex” of Bill Groh in the columns of the several county papers, it is not to be wondered at that there should. be among the people of this and adjoining counties considerable inqujry as to the real cause of its sudden disappearance. An authenti¢ explanation may be found in the following: Bill is a firm believer in periodically dishing up something new and attractive. To do this successfully, time and study are indispensable. = Domestic affliction having recently intervened, and Mr.Groh’s time being largely encroached upon, he concluded that, since it has become impossible for him to'devise something new, he will modestly retire from the position of “the observed of all observers” until circumstances again enable him to devote greater attention to his incomparable essays on the best method for purchasing the biggest pile of groceries with the least money. v P
