—We regret to learn that Elder J. I Harris has determined upon removing from our midst, to take up his residence in Central Ohio. He, feels impelled to take this step in consideration of his wife’s health, o —We greatly enjoyed a pleasant little chat with Mr. John Favinger of (ireen townslﬁp, !'\\'llo visited our sanctum last Monday. Being of a philosophical, conservative and liberal turn oT mind, it does one good to listen to his sensible and practical observations on eurrent events. - —We nbtiged" a shallow-pated scapegrace filling a lighted kerosene lamp, the other evening, but, Providentially, the thing did n’t go off and the wreteh still lives to thus jeopardize the lives of his wife and children. There ought to be, a law to prevent such hairhrained recklessness. | f : —The city council of ITuntington has fixed the salaries of the various city oflicers as follows: Councilman, $20.22 per annum; Mayor, $250 per annum; Clerk, $3OO per annum; City Attorney, %200, per annum; Marshal, $55 per month; Civil Engineer, $lOO per annum; Street Commissioner, $2 per day for time, employed. - : i

—A large saw-mill owned by J. P. Ross, at Wallen!, six miles ’l,lol'th of Fort Wayne, was burned down last Saturday night, destroying all the machinery and a lot of luniber. - It was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, as no fire had been used where it commenced burding. There was some insurance on the property. P

—The Logansport Pharos very justIy and properly says the Radical papers in Indiana are denouncing the temperance people for the result of the elections in the principal cities.— These organs are for temperance when it is to their interest to be so, but the moment it interferes with their political success they fall to swearing like troopers. / . L

—A dispateh from' Sturgis, Mich., says that “on Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock, while the Rev. Isaac Ayres was sitting alone in his chair, death came to him instantly in the shape of apoplexy. He died without the presence of a single member of his family, as no one was in the house except a little son, aged twelve years, who was in another part of the building, and it was some time before his death was discovered.” - .

~—The annual reunion of the Fort Wayne German Sengerbund was held on Monday last. The procession was formed at 8 o’clock, and, after parading the principal streets, repaired to Tur.ner Hall, where, after dedicating a splendid flag made in Milwaukee at a cost of three hundred dollars, they were addressed by thef Mayor and othrers, at the conclusion of which the different societies proceeded to “Mad Anthony’s” Park to engage in festivities usual tosthe occasion. A grand ball was given by the society at Turner H(all in the evening. * —An eastern exchange very appropriately observes: “Show us the young man who can quit the society of the young and take pleasure in listening to the kindly voices of age; show us the man who covers the faults of others with a mantle of charity; show us a man who bows as politely,and gives the street as freely to the poot sewing girl as the millionaire; who values virtue, not clothes; show us the man who never forgets for an instant the delicacy and respect due a woman, as a woman in any condition or class—and you show wug a true gentleman.”

LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS ~ KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. It maymot be known to all, but it ‘is nevertheless a fact, that this city contains a live Deputy State Attorney, and it seems he figured conspicuously upon the Myers petition. I. wonder if Attorney-General Dehny could not ‘bestow his title upon others so as to give them respectability ? ? Kendallville was crammed full of people last Saturday and the merchants were happy. Potato bugs are plenty, and I think now is the time to pineh them. A (;}ranger"in this vicinity suggesté; the plan of covering up the potato hills’ and bugs with dirt as a sure mieans of destroying the bug. - i When a lady of this vicinity | said that Special Agent Bringhurst would be a candidate for Congress in the Logansport District and that |théy could fix him in reference to our postoffice matters, time has proved| that there was more truth than poetry in the remark. 5 T. P. Kessler, of Orange township, talks of eracking corn and threshing wheat by wind. That is sensible,* We should use the means which the God of nature has placed in our power. . .-

Prof. Bachelder and his pupilssskilﬁ the fields quite often botanizing.% : Dr. Gower was in the city last fweek for the first time in many mdnths. Ie has had a 1011{; spell of sicl*ness, in which his life was despaired of, ‘but is now getting better. P I also met, the other day, Dr. Barber, of Wolcottville, an ¢ld resident ,of this country and a former citizen of this place. lle also has been sick, but is recovering. Time and sickuess has changed him greatly during,r the last twelve years. . e Tlfle bills ‘are out ‘unn‘!mm_cing the programme for Decoration Day. | What a difference. Mr. Bosworth was called away from this placé the other day and; had _his boy swojm in as mail-cavrrgei; to fill the place during his absence. The hoy called for the mail at tlhe proper time, but Was refused, upon the ground that he was not old emough. This man Myers preferred charges against Mr. Bosworth and already bills are stuck up asking for bids to carry the mq’ilvs to and from the depot. How prompt the Department is to act upon Myers’ suggestions, but how slow upon [those of Special Agent Knapp. e The afternoon mail trains now pass each other at this place. ? It is said. that Henry W. Scilluefer contemplates moving his macliinery to Fort Wayne and there start i coffin factor’y. It is to e regretted that sufficient means could not be raised here to go on with the. enterprise. ' The North-Eastern Indiana Republican Political Ring, with headquarters somewhere within that territory,needs ventilation. Thieves and scoundrels can be retained in offiee with its consent; no member of that purt}y,can get an oflice without its: consent, 'and it will be in favor of a‘third term for Grant, providing it can be retained in power.’ i e The school of this.place will %oon close for a vacation of three months.

‘ WAWAKA LOCAL,. | "We have the pleasure this \\'-jeek_;‘of announcing the marriage off 'T. J. Mawhorter to Minda Rendel. _’,l‘hej"r were married on Sunday, 17th inst., at the residence of J. W. Rendel, by Elder Jones. The bride and bridegroom have been known in this plzicevfo'r years, and it will be the wish of all that their union will prove onefof unalloyed happiness and prosperity.— Tominy’s associates did not forget to serenade him, with harps, timbrels and cow-bells.'| ¢ .

We have a Jeweler in town mending broken jewelry. . * While on his! wa;y to Brimfield last Sunday to fill an appointment, Elder Dodge was thrown from his horse and considerably, though not. dangeroualy, hurt. ' The horse got frightened at some cattle which were feeding along the roadside. | wle

Two fashionably-dressed young men, supposed to hail from Kendallville, got off the freight train here last Thursday evening and remained for thexnext train. They were about as drunk as bad whisky could make them, and stopped off doubtless either to get their jug refilled or in search of one of our temperance lecturers. We trust the latter. o

You think, Mr. BANNER, that “Wawaka is not such a God-forsaken community as to require this constant attention on the part of these industrious champions of total abstinence ?” I beg leave to differ from you, for I think as long as we are having “damnation” dealt out to us at the rate of five gallons ‘per day, we neeq a good total abstinence lecture about once a week, and we need a crusade, too. By the way, Rev: Meredith, of your place, is going to give us another lecture on Wednesday evening. o -We advise Mrs. Dodge to close her shop-windows before going to her meals. We saw last Saturday evening, just before dark, after Mrs. Dodge and Miss Stienbalfger had gone to supper, a rather suspicious-looking person jump out of the work-room window, having something in the hand, run quickly around through the back yard, jump the fence, then walk quietly along the street as though nothing had happened. If said person took anything that did not belong to him, we advise him to return it, or we will feel it our duty to notify Mrs. D. of the foregoing facts, as we happen’ to know the person. . o - The Burdett Organ that contested 80 nobly with the Spang at Mr. Dodge’s was purchased last week by G. W. Mum¥mert, . . :

Now, dear BANNER, before I close I want to tell you a secret, which you must not breathie. Madame Rumor says our Persecuted Dutchman. has been over to Albion to get the wherewith to get married. It may be one of the old dame’s stories, but if it be true, we wish our friend worldsof joy. May 25. e

ROME CITY NEWS. . After having taken a flying visit around the ecountry and taken observations of the crops and the signs of the timpg in general, we find ourself again at home, in the city of Rome, and take the opportunity of sending a squib to the BANNER. Our barber, Geo. Shuey, Esq., has left town and gone West. We are now minus a barber, which will be very inconvenient. Who is the lucky man that will locate here and become our permanent barber?” ' :

| The Brimfield “Squire” was rich, racy and spicy in his last week’s local. e boasts that Brimfield can beat our town all hollow in raising school children, and calls that “enterprise!” e wants Berry & Andrews to change the name of their brand of flour because thé people of Brimfield never get up in time to see the sun rise; he thinks if he were a farmer he" would drive five miles-out of his'way before lie would come to Brimfield and be tortured with horses running at large. All right, “Squire,” them’s our sentiments. Five miles out of the way, and even less, would bring your farmers to Rome City, where they' will not be troubled with loose horses or anything else. Send them alonn. Candidates are beginning to be on the lookout for the coming election. This they have a perfect right to do. We will take this method of informing all political aspirants that this will probably be a good yeéf‘ to get b’e‘at, and the man who is elected to any office in this county will have to depend mainly upon his own popularity.

The largest minnow bhox tlmt we ever clapped ourjeyes on was gotten up by Clark Hou“ghto‘n, and engineered by Harry Buffun. Itis about 18 inches wide and about 18 inches deep, and —well longer than a rod pole. | - J. C. Zimmerman, Esq., of the Magnet Mills, paid our town a visit on Friday last. ; E. 11. Fisher, of this place, and Col. W. C._iWilliams, of Albion, attended the Grand Lodge of I. 0. O. ~ at Indianapolis, last week. - J.C. Hall,Em., is now at Indianapolis, attending the Grand Lodge of T. & A. Masons. . :

Chas. Law, lisq., formerly Commissioner of thisfcounty‘, was in town on Saturday last. Charley would not ‘object to being elected real estate appraiser this coming fall, that is if the people think he is the right man.— Well, most anybody would be'an improvement on the man who assessed Orange the last time. o Our meat market has played out, and we are now dependent upon. aipedling wagon for fresh meats. If Holsinger don’t re-establish his meat market here,somebody else must start up. We must and will have a meat market. ; ;

C. O.*Myers, -of the . Kendallville Standaﬂzd, made our town a flying visit on Saturday last. A part of his business was looking after the interests of the Republican party in the future. The time has not yet been set to hold the cdunty convention. - Dora Comparet was in town on Sunday. Dora is gbing to locate in Albion. Ie thinks seriously of running for Congress. Pitchin, Dora ;»_theréis no telling where lightning may strike this year. s '

Brimfield has a living, moving, traveling concert, all;concentrated in one Mr. Morrow. This gentleman plays the mouth organ and guitar all a$ the same time, and makes most elégant music. Ile treats our town to a serenade frequently. - ~Our railroad depot is not yet visible. Doctor Gower ejected another tormenter—tape worm. ; . Rome City beats Brimfield for dogs. How is that for enterprise, Squire? - On Friday last Deacon Highbargin and Ede Fisher caught. a six-pound pike and®about a hundred small fish. s The Good Templars Lodge is said to have a big run of business. The old woolen factory will not be rebuilt immediately. The ;cherry crop in this region will be a partial failure. A Potato bugs are already plenty and very hungry. . ALEXIS

ELKHART TOWNSHIP. Mr. John Bloom, who left this township about eighteen months ago for Arkansas, returned home last week. Ie says that the part of Arkansas wherein he was situated was very much overflowed, and was very disagreeable in getting from place to place. - Mr. Thomas Shaw and Mr. Joseph Grisamer started on a journey to Illinois, Towa, Missouri and Kansas, last week,to visit relatives and oold acquaintances. Mr. Grisamer came to- this country in early days, and has suffered many hardships, and we all know! that his days on this earth- are but few, although his father is still living at the age of one hundred and two. . ‘

- We had a wedding in this neighborhood last week, at the residence of the bride;” by Elder Jones, Mr. Thomas Mawhorter to Miss- Mindy Rendall.— The young men in this community gave them a lively serenade. They commenced their “racket” about nine o’clock and continued until two o’clock, when the bride consented to “come down” with the cigars. Some of the boys shot off their guns and damaged the siding and plastering considerably, an;l a few window lights were broken out. : -

The prospects for a good oats erop in this neighborhood is not very flattering, and the corn is not up yet. We wish some of them narrow-mind-ed tobacco-chewers would just throw their tobacco out of their mouths before entering the school-house in time df service, as the school-teacher must take a general cleaning out afterwards.

EpiTor BANNER:—-Will you please give notice in your.paper this week, that there will be a meeting in the Lutheran chureh, at Albion, Saturday, June 6th, at 8 ¢’clock P. il, of those interested in the Sabbath school jcause, for the purpose of organizing a County Sabbath School Convention, to be held at the different points in the county quarterly.

. The New County Atlas. . Messrs. Andreas & Baskin have the pleasure of announcing that the new Atlas of Noble county will be ready for delivery about June 15th, and hope their numerous patrons will be ready when the agents call upon them.

Respectfully, ANDREAS & BASKIN, Map Pub.

- MRr. CLINT PARKHURST, the lowa poet, has recently published through the Western News Co., of Chicago, a neat little volume of poems. The work:is beautifully bound, and the paper and typography prove that a Chicago firm can equal any in the east in the matter of book making. Mr. Parkhurst is a writer of far more than ordinary ability. Most of the poems in the volume are full of thought, and in many of them there is an impassioned expression of the deeper and more subtle questionings and passions of life. “Pauline” and “Lost on the Border,” are poems that crown their author as a writer of great-power. The measure, is here and there unequal and there is a spirit of doubt and materialism pervading the book which will be regretted by many who will otherwise read it,!\yjtlf pleasure and profit. -

CHIEF-JUSTICE MCCLURE, of Arkansas, popularly known as “Poker Jack,” has gone to Washington to “fix things” in the interests of the squelehed Brooks. The “mistake made, by McClure, Clayton & Co.is in forgetting that 1874 is not 1868. A few years ago anything done in the name of “loyalty” was indorsed throughout the North. Now, when a man howls about “loyalty” and “rebels,” people ask: ““What’s he trying to .steal?”’-— Memphis Avalanche. ‘

Thiat’s true; and the people generally so understand it. The only person in this latitude who occasionally employs the epithet“rebel” is a notorious journalistic guerilla and criminated P. M. whose prospects for taking up his abode in the Northern l’enitentyi;ary_i;t Michigan City are ' daily - growing brighter. il ‘

b 2 @G S SA A SENATOR ScHURZ declined an offer of three hundred dollars to deliver his eulogy of Charles ‘Sumner in Rockford, Maine, on the evening after its delivery in Boston, because he “could not accept money for a labor of love and veneration.”"— Ligonier Banner.

Inasmuch as the Senator charged for his services during the Greeley campaign are we to understand that his labor then was not one of lpveand veneration ?-—Elkhart Observer. Inasmuch as there is mot one word of truth in the Observer’s allegation, there is no occasion for an answer to its query. ' e

—Next Saturday is the day appointed for the decoration of soldiers’ graves. —The names of Capt. J. E. Braden, Geo. T. Ulmer, and Charles C.

—Those who take an interest in the theological controversy between Dr. Swing and Dr. Patton, should send $l.OO to W. B. Keene,.Cooke & Co., Chicago, for a copy of David Swing’s Sermons. It is a book of 144 pages, and contains exceedingly interesting matter. for theological students.

—Another $5OO loan was on last Tuesday evening awarded by the Ligonier Building, Loah & Savings Association to one of its members, at a premium of $129. This makes five loans since the organization of the association. Shares are still greatly in demand, but no sellers. One hundred per cent, above par value are the ruling rates. ’. , —There being no Commissioner to elect from the Northern District, and not being in sympathy with the antisecret society movement, Mr. John Whan respectfully deeclines the honor conferred upon him by the Jim' Mc: Connell-Kiggins Convention. Joseph M. Shew, nominated for County Auditor by the same assembly, also declines the candidacy bestowed upon him. We presume the central committee will take early action to fill the vacancies. g o

—While a couple of painters were at work on Wednesday of last week, in South Bend, on a swinging scaffold, 30 feet from the ground,they started tolower themselves, when one of them, by some unaccountable means, unhooked the platform, and was precipitated down a cellar-way, fracturing his skull and breaking a leg and arm. His name is John Kennedy, lately from Kentucky, and his injuries will probably prove fatal. —The Aldine for June is rich in landscapes, chief among which are a series of sketches of scenery on the Missisquoi, and a scene on the Shenandoah. “Almost a Dinner” and “A Bad Run” are two spirited pictures, the first Tepresenting the failure of a fox in his effort to make a dinner of a duck, and the latter the escape of a weary and panting deer. “Such a Shot” will awaken pleasant recollections in the minds of every boy who has gone turkey hunting.

The Grand Encampment of the 11.0. O. F. met in semi-annual convention at Indianapolis, on the 20th. The reports of the officers show a healthy growth of the Order.

AMONG the distinguished guests at the Mason House the past week; were Captain Eden Fisher, of Noble county, and Zebulan ‘Beard, of Tippecanoe county. Neither one of these gents are very badly afflicted with corns and bunyons. The la.ttrer sports one wooden leg, while the former “sees him” and goes one better. Both are some on the pedestrian business, and were bantering each other quite often while in the city for a champion “walk around” on the Circle. Captain Eden Fisher made an honorable record during the late unpleasantness, and left traveling facilities and main support on the tented |ﬁel4l, having had both_ legs shot off at once. Mr. F. was an applicant for the Pension Agency at! Fort Wayne on thg re-election of Gen.
