In fact, that town seems 'to,rbo a regular rendezvous for these itinerant lecturers. It can’t be that Wawaka is such a God-forsaken community as to require this constant attention on part of these industrious champions of total abstinence? —We are strongly tempted to send Bro. Jeemes McConnell down to LaPorte, armed with .a mighty [tomahawk, to “do” Tink Wadsworth for publishing this disparaging paragraph in last week’s 'Argus: “Our readers in this enlightened community will hardly believe it, but it is a solemn fact that, in: Noble county, this State, is a regularly organized anti-Secret Society party, and they recently met and nominated a full ticket for county officers.

LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS -KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. The temperance crusade has been-a failure in this place. In the aristocratic Second Ward, which contains most of the churches and ministers, Geo. C. Glatte, a very respectable citizen, but whose views are anti-crusade, and who is engaged in the liquor traffie, was elected councilman over Geo. Sayles, an out-and-out’ temperance man. It is very evident that the American people are not ready for a prohibitory liquor law in this State, and therefore a licence law should be enacted. which will bring into the treasury a good round sum for educational purposes. e Peach trees are in full bloom and there is a good prospect for an abundance of that delicious fruit. I notice that a Franklin,. Tenn,, paper mentions the name of either Thurman or Hendricks as a proper candidate for the Presidency in 1876. House-cleaning and wall-papering are tlie order of the day.Our lakes are beautifully illuminated every might by the torches of fishermen. :

I have heard the name of John B. Stoll spoken in connection with the office of representative in the Legislature at the coming election. If Mr. Stoll will consent to make the race, I am satisfied the people will give him a hearty support in this part of the county.” His ability and honesty in the management of State affairs would be an honor to the people who sent him.

Dr. Moyer is re-arranging his dental rooms, and when completed they will be unsurpassed by any.in this part of the State; and, by the way, I learn that the Doctor will soon take unto himself a wife and, of course, be happPy. Miss Belle Hyatt, one of our teachers, will spend the vacation visiting friends in the East. = S Dr. Teal had no opposition. in his race for councilman of the Ist Ward. Peter Ringle will be missed in the council of this city. He had the name of being a good councilman. - : Fifty-eight names will secure a permil to sell liquor in the Second Ward -of this city. ’ ' . Rumor has it that Capt. Hiram Iddings will be a candidate for Congress before the coming Republican Convention of this District. i It is said that Jas. J. Lash has an itching for further county favors.

Ede Fisher recently bought $l5O worth of paints and oil in this place, which made Dora Lane happy. Last week’s developments in the Myeuxs post-office case in this city were quite interesting, and I presume exhibits to that official the hand-writing on tlie wall. He has never ceased to declare his innocence, and it seems that those who have espoused his cause did believe his story. But the evidence placed upon record on Wed-! nesday of last week will, I think, remove all doubts of . his absolute knowledge of the whole transaction. When Special Agent Knapp was here he knew nothing of Mrs. Matie Green’s evidence (which knowledge he subsequently obtained from Special Agent Bringhurst) .and has written here since, that if he had been in possession of this evidence of Myers’ guilt he would have arrested him on the spot. Depositions were taken before Judge Wildman, and Mrs. Matie Green, one of Myers’ deputies, states, under oath, that one morning she picked up a letter from a table in the post office and asked if she should put it in the box where it belonged, and that Mrs. Myers told her té lay it back upon the table; that as she stepped back to do 80, Myers reached out his hand and took the letter and laid it back on the table. She further swears, that during that forenoon Llyéis said that Loomis did not help pay fot the night‘mail and ought not to have it.” The witness does n’t know when the letter referred to was put into Mr. Loomis’ box, but swears that it was addressed to Loomis. She further swears, that all'the lefters belonging to the Kendallville post office had been distributed, except this one, and that most of the business men had been in and got their mail that morning ’prio,r to the above transaction. - Mrs. Lisle, anothér deputy, swears that she had not been in the office but two or three days when she detected Mr. Loomis’ mail in one of the boxes used for the out-gaing mails. She found it there two or three times. Myers’ evidence was a general denial of everything. He said “there had been no letters retained since Knapp was here.” Mr. Helman’s evidence goes to show that Myers had knowledge of the whole tranisact;ion, and when the balance of evidence is put upon record, which s to the effect that for more than one month Mr. Loomis’ mail was retained —and the facts can be proven by the route agents, who counted and took a ‘description of each letter addressed to Loomis for more than ten consecutive days—a pretty strong case will be made out against this man Myers.— Both the detectives requested and advised Mr. Loomis not to commence a prosecution until the Department had taken action in the matter. He complied with their request, but being informed that the Department had been influenced to aecquit Myers, the case has, I suppose, gone before the Grand Jury at Indianapolis, which is now in session. The only hope Myers and his friends now have is to corrupt the United States Prosecutor and have him fail to do his duty, as others have' done. The most fatal mistake Myers ever made in his life. was his noncompliance with the terms of his agreemeént with Detective Knapp and Mr. Loomis, which was to resign his-of-fice. He could then have gogeons‘id; erable sympathy from the people here, and this new evidence from Mrs. Green would never have appeared against him. And, let me say, this woman has not yet told the whole story. She was his witness and studied to tell just as little as possible

those depositions, and since, Myers has been very mad, and asserts that it is an effort on the part of some here to break up the republican party.— This is always the cry of a political scoundrel ; but the wail has no terrors to those here whe are determined that crime shall not go unpunished. s Will Carleton’s readings at Mitchell Hall were highly appreciated by those in attendance. The stormy- evening prevented many from going. He was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Hyatt while here.. - | ‘ The readers of the Standard noticed not long since that Myers nominated Col. Bringhurst for Congress from the Logansport District. @ Now, while Myers denoumced Special Ag't Knapp, he seems to pat Special Agent Bringhurst, and what for, do you suppose? Simply because the latter failed to file the evidence of Myers’ guilt in the Post Office Department at Washington; hence the result. That meeting at Fort Wayne with Myers’ friends fixed the thing up, and it is my opinion that Col. Bringhurst stepped outside of his duty when he met in secret conclave with those who would thwart justice. I hardly think the people of the Logansport District want that kind of a man for a representative in Congress. We have too many such now.

: WAWAKA ITEMS. The Teachers, Institute last Satur day was attended by a goodly number of teachers and patrons of education, and passed off harmoniously, with our Pastor asPresident. The “Question Drawer” was decidedly interesting.— One question elicited some controversy: ‘ls it right for professors of religi'on to attend theatrical exhibitions ?” . Elder Howe .answered: “decidedly no.” Others thought there was no harm in going, and Mrs. Dodge believes in the “Unecle Tom’s Cabin” kind. The Institute meets again June 20th. The Young Peoples Literary exhibition, &ast Saturday evening, was a perfect success. . The exercises opened with a salutatory by U. J. Huffman, and music by Miss Cox, followed by a twenty minutes’ debate. The question: “Resolved that Ministers of the Gospel have no right to meddle in politics” was ably discussed by T.J. and A. E. Mawhorter in the affirmative and W. Stuff and C. Cutry in the negative. A few of the pieces need special mention. “A family not 'to pattern after” was well acted and highly applauded; also, “that naughty boy” was a side splitting affair. “Father, come home,” was sung well by little Ollie Dodge, and the sympathetic could scarcely restrain the tears as she plead in vain with her drunken father to “come home.” The “Maniac” by Miss Katie Iyynch, was highly spoken of, and last but not least we must tell you of the elegant little speech by Elder Howe. He complimented the young folks on their success, and encouraged them to “press on.” | Verily, verily we wish there were mq!ny more of our “Howe’s” in the country. i A stranger came to the hotise of Mr. Carls several days ago—hungry, barefooted and without a penny. The ‘kind people took him in, e}otfihed and fed him, and will keep him until he can do better. Hig weight, we think, was about eight pounds. ) G. W. Mummert met with quite a loss last Friday in his Mill. The fly wheel or some part of the machinery burst. The loss will be from $4OO to $5OO. We did not learn all the particulars. | » ‘Another Temperance lecturer is coming to town. Our little town must bear a bad reputation abroad. ; T.R. Y.

HAW PATCH JOTTINGS. While from most every quarter correspondents are writing to the BANNER, the Haw Patch' is seldom heard from through the medium of your valuable journal. We claim that this section of country rivals ‘any in the State, taking all things into consider~ ation, and why should not the general public be informed of the fact? Great improvements are contemplated. Old dwellings have been moved away, and new ones are faking their places, some of which are under course of construction. ‘ E. Stutzman is pushing along the erection of his new brick mansion with an energy characteristic alone of that gentleman, and when completed will be an ornament to the surrounding country, and a credit to every man that drove a nail or laid a brick.

The granges that have been organ- 1 ized are ‘expected to bring about a ‘great reform in society, and stem the l tide of impositions that are being prac- | ticed upon honest farmers by monopolies and middle men. But whether this and the next generation will reap any of the benefits has not been dels cided, : plic sl When the promised Gale again ap“pears, forty thousand strong, to make glad the hearts of man, and the contemplated railroad = winds its way ‘through this fertile ;district, and - a ‘great town has sprung up in our midst to rival any in the q,om;ty,-thgn‘,fm,rj

citizens will have realized their wish, and their energies will be rewarded. - J. Hall, our enterprising manufacturer of wind engines, is alive to the times. He has engaged the services of J. Byler, a young and enterprising citizen, to introduce his valuable mill, and to erect when desired, at low figures, and to the satisfaction of his patrons. : ' ' The sickness prevailing recently to such an alarming extent, incident to the sudden change of weather, has abated, and mote healthy times aré looked for.

Death entered another h&'usehold on: the 12th inst., and took away in the bloom of life, an only daughter, an affectionate child and christian lady.— The departed was Miss S. A. Lantz, daughter of Adam and Nancy Lantz. Almost simultaneous with the partings of chilling winds and snow-clad fields, come the green foliage and verdant mantle that now clothes forests and dale. = : /. The prospects for a bountiful harvest are flattering. With the encouragement now before us, who has reason to be dreary ? HorE. SUNNY SIDE NOTES. Local items in these parts now-a-days are becoming somewhat scarce. On last Friday evening and Sunday morning we were blessed with copious showers which have made a decided improvement in the appearance of almost everything. The apple crop in this section will be a partial ;failure; but few trees are in blossom.— The prospect for a peach crop is quite flattering, as every little bush is in full blossom. '

We have neglected to mention heretofore that Alphoretta Gibsen, the accomplished and good-looking little “gchool-marsn,” has the control of our school this summer. That Ret knows how‘ to teach young “ideas to shoet,” we think the whole district can attest.

A. G. Gibson has almost completed *the assessment for this township. It | is altogether probable that it will be but a trifle less than last year. Give says ong term will suffice for him and has been worth a winter’s schooling.— He has found out that some of the people of Elkhart are composed of & variety of materials, but something of an elastic nature has the preponderance. They stretch like “Ingun Rubber.” '

Mrs. Lydia Iler, of Tiffin, Ohio, (formerly Lydia Squires) is visiting relatives, friends and old acquaintances in this neighborhood at this time.— She expects to return home the latter part of this week. ‘ . While in Ligonier last Saturday we had a friendly shake with “Dale” of Cromwell. He looks hale and hearty; and, flike ourself, has a fellow feeling in his bosom for some of the crusaders. We alsometa host of old friends from |the R‘é}serve, among whem was Dr. Tucker, of Cromwell, of whom we could say some good words, if the people would not congsider it advertising. Doc' and “us” were born and raised in the same neighborhood; in fact, some of his blood courses the writer’s vein, and of course we ought to know him and will say he understands his business, anyhow. o AH.

CROMWELL SPARKLES. Gentle showers of rain descended on our thirsty land last Saturday and Sunday, so that vegetation is rapidly springing forth. The prospect for a bountiful wheat harvest in many places is very flattering. - : | i Farmers in this vicinity are generally done planting corn. ' | There is a good prospect for an abundance of all kinds of fruit. The wife of Sheldon Cole has been dangerously ill for some time.

JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP. ’ . FrIEND StoLL:—I shought a few notes by the way would not come amiss in the columns of your valuable paper. The weather is pleasant and warm; we had a nice rain last night, which improves the looks of the whefit, oats and grass very much. The majority of farmers have planted their corn in this neighborhood. Our neighbor, Oliver Rice, had the misfortune of losing his son, Alfred, who died of conjestion of the brain. The young man’s sufgtiug was terrible. Two physicians, Singrey and Clark of Albion, were in attendance, but with all they could do he died last Sunday evening at about eight o’clock, having been sick only twenty-four ‘hours. He was buried on Tuesday following. Alfred was a young man, “highly respected by all who knew him.. ‘He was buried in the grave-yard at Sweet's school-house, the funeral sermon ;being preached by Rev. Hyatt, the Wesleyan minister in charge at Harvey’s school-heuse, from the text, “When a few years are come, then I. shall go the way whence I shall not return.”—Job xvi, 22. ALF.,

The Republicans failed to nominate eandidates, thinking it useless to make an effort, which, of course, made the contest one-sided. e

Decoration Day I fear will be allowed to pass unobserved, as all patriofic feeling seems to have died out in this part of the country. : Another saloon opened up this month, which makes business in that line lighter all round and will have the effect to close up some of them ere long. v Jacob Peters, a prominent farmer living north of this place, prophesied last January (the 19th, I think,) that we would have a severe frost between thel4th and 19th of this month.

THE VALUE OF A GOOD PAINTING can hardly be estimated prdberly by those who have been accustomed to seeing only the crude efforts of socalled “artists” who are entirely ignorant of the important principles underlying this greatest of arts. But in all ages, painting has met with favor at the hands of the people, and the painter who can truly transfer the features of our friends to imperishable canvass, has been crowned with well-deserved honor. There is perhaps nothing, even laying aside the intrinsic value of the likeness that can be of more pleasure and benefit in a household, than good paintings on the wall. They become, in time, precious heirlooms, and to our children they are a source of happiness. How many of us are there that would not give almost anything for true representations of parents and friends who are no longer living? We are led to make these ohservations from the fact that there is at present in our midst an artist of unquestionable skill and extensive reputation—Prof. Sinks, of LaPorte—who has just completed four portraits for our worthy townsman, Mr; H. R. Cornell, which we are bold to assert are not excelled by any work of art that may be found in possession of any family in this part of thj Union. The portraits referred to ‘may be seen and:inspected at the Gallery of Mr. Cornell, who will take pleasure in exhibiting them to lovers of the fine arts. Prof. Sinks completed his studies among the works of the old masters, coming in frequent contact with the most eminent painters of the world. We had the pleasure of forming his acquaintance something over a year ago, and take great pleasure in recommending him to those desirous of obtaining a firstclass, life-like portrait. The WOl‘ki which he has done for parties in this town speaks for itself and will bear us out in the statement that Prof. Sinks has’no superior as a:portrait painter in the entire Northwest.

SoME twenty or twenty-five people got together in Albion, Noble county and nominated an anti-secret society ticket for the county offices. The prime mover seems to be our old friend, James McConnell.. The antisecret society party is in antagonism mainly to the Masonic and Odd Fellows’ orders, although they embrace in their opposition all other secret societies, such as Good Templars, Granges, &c. This is a congenial organization for all the dissatisfied and unhappy spirits. There are a great many people dissatisfied with the arrangement which God has made for their future state of happiness.
