E. Flemming & Son, formerly proprietdrs of the Empire house, in this city, have leased a hotel in Ligonier, and took possession of it about the first of June. It is rumored that some parties in this city propose erecting a new hotel buailding during the summer, and that the Messrs.

—ln justice to “A.R, E.” we are again called upon to correct some of those perplexing blunders which so frequently slip tlii‘ough the fingers of a careless compositor and, in the absence of the editor, ereep unobserved _into the form and gain prominence in some cherished contribution, to the great annoyance of the editor and the wtter disgust of the author. lln the poem entitled “Little Warren,” in our issue of June 4th, our correspondent’s . “towch of his eherub hand” was mercilessly tortured into the “twitch of his cherub hand;” while “If we knew they wonld never grow old” was made _to appear as “If we knew the world never grew old!” Now, how provok--1 ingly absurd. We do n’t wonder that authors are disheartened at seeing their brightest effusions “twitched” into wg?ﬁggrgga?ing nonsense.

COUNTY-NEWS ANI) GOSSIP. L , AVILLA, I The BANNER arrives regularly ev‘ery week, containing a summary of the most important news from almost every town and village in the county, - but, ul'ﬁfortunately, our own thriving town is not represented in its columns, and as there appears to be a great 5(1(‘}111;{11(1 for Avilla items, I shall en~deavor to chronicle such as are of "interest to the reader find beneficial to

the town and its surroundings.. The track layers on the B, P. & C. railroad are progressing rapidly. They are at this writing at tgl,ie town of Altoona, across the celebrated tamarack swamp, where piles have been driven tofthe enormous depth of 644 feet. This is at a point four and a half miles east of Avilla. It is the intention to have the track laid to the line of the Grand Rapids road by the first of July. Detention caused by the sink-hole recently discovered on the land owned by John Barber may not bring the track to the cross"ing:_ by the above date, but as the men claim to have gained control over the sink, we may confidently look for the train on that date. ; : ‘

Messrs. Hill and Mc¢Kechney, con{ractors, are daily,receivilx)g lumber from Geo.-A. Mitchell, of Clam Lalke, Mich., formerly of Kendallville. It requires 75,000 feet to complete the bridges for which these gentleihen haye contracts. The G. R. &I. road gave them special rates, carrying the lumber at $45 a car. The lumber is distributed along the line ecast and west of this station by wagons, but when the track is laid west of the crossing it is intended to put in a'wye and run the loaded car to where the lumber is to be used. Some ‘of the B. & 0. officials have been here looking up a site fur\dvput buildings, but we are not informed as to what eonclusion they arrived at. The best plan eertainly would be to unite with the Grand Rapids Road and build a union depot. The latter road having no buildings here, this would be a good time to get them for Ilf priee. =

The engineers of the New York & Chicago railroad are reported to be in the neighborhood, east of here, following lI]) elosely the 8., P. &C. track. If any more railroads seek entrance here the citizens will be compelted to fight against them,’ like the people of Chiéhgo who are daily having injunctions granted for the prevention of railroads entdring the city. . Everybody who visits this place and is informed of the amount of business done on the Grand Rapids road at this Station, is surprised to see no buildings wherein to do business, except an old, rotten dwelling, which Serves as a 1»:15%‘1»11;:(}1‘ depot. -1 The extensive business of this road, hoth in passenger and freight, oughticertainly to enable the managers to put up suitable depot huildings, especially it a place-like this, where so mueh business is done. . The cash veceipts for the month of May Veing; on tickets and freight, $1148.12, we. feel justified in asking--no more than what this place is entitled to—a -good passenger depot and warchouse,. ;

Avill is prospering surprisingly. People whd resided here ten years ago and moved away oW . express themselves highly surprised at the ngj(?\\'th of the place and at the many brick buildings. - With the aid of Providence, we expeet to be the third town of fmportance in the county. There is now a splendid opportunity offered, especially to young men, to invest their spare money in town lots. Messrs. Baum, Walter & Co. and Spencer & Wheeler are selling spléndid lots, nicely situated, at low prices, and as no-one denies the future prosiperity of the town, lots will inerease at least double in valuation in a short 'time. e i

| Another drug store is coming to itown. Dr. Marshall, from Ft. Wayne, has vented a rooin in the new brick bwned by W. D. Carver and will soon move into it. Ie intends to have a soda fountamn also. ’ | Mr. W.D. Carver, the present manzllger of the Avilla \\':igon aud Carriage Shop, is turning out the neatest \iVOl'k ever seen in this community. ITe delivers goods to Kendallville; {kuburn,' ITuntertown, and various dther places. These shops do great credit to the town. ,

| Mr. Jonas Strouse has purchased a lot near the 8.,, P. & C. railroad, where he intends to erect a dwelling for a niephow, who resides in Pennsyhn;nigt, and who is at present in the employ of the B. &O. railroad. e expects to be appointed agent at this station. IThe course taken by the BANNER on the finance question meets with uigiversn_l approbation. There are but few followers of Morton, Logan & Co., }Wlﬂno claim that the prosperity of the country depends upon ‘the issue of more “shinplasters.” We are decidedly a hard money man, and will endeavor to vote for a hard money man for congress. County Commissioner .Whan, of Swan township, has a flock of 250 sheep from which h‘e-éxpects to clip a thousand pounds of wool, _

Crops look splendidly and are doing well, with the exception of wheat, which is badly winter-killed. There will be an abundance of all kinds of fruit. ;

~ Mr. Reub. Stahl, our energetic;‘ Supervisor, is.doing his level best toward straightening Main street at the SOl}lth end. :

Avilla is bound to have a justice of the peace, to be elected at the next election. By the death of Judge Randall this end of the township was left minus a justice, the nearest one being at Lisbon, three and a half miles from here. We propose to abolish the mileage system and have a justice of our own, : :

Mr. P. A. Randall has established a first-class law practice at Fort Wayne in company with Messrs. Ninde and Fay, and all persuasions to remove to this place are unheeded and of no avail, consequently Mr. Randall can do as he pleases. E

If the county lacks good material for a county treasurer, call this way; we have some that cannot be beaten at the eleetion. [Trot them out.—Ep.] ITaving largely increased in membership, the Masons of this place have concluded to rent Mr. Carver’s upper story, in the new brick, as the hall now occupied by them is entirely too small. o _ To-day:.(the 15th) is pay-day on the Grand Rapids road, @#nd hext Satur-

day (the 20th) on the Baltimore road. Then there will be a good demand for whisky, and we advise ‘Charley to secure additional help for the occasion. The Catholic congregation has decided to erect a more commodious chureh, the one they are now occupying being entirely too small on account of the large increase in membership. The new church will be erected next spring, but not on the old site; it will come nearer town and its size will be 80x42. The contract for the brick has been awarded to Martin Bluste. The number of brick required is two hundred and forty thousand. , The Catholic pic-nic’last Wednesday was well attended. The gross earnings were £493 and the net gain about $3OO, which amount is in aid of the Catholic school. The Avilla Band furnished the music and the “boys” ave general sat;ﬁsf:mction. Of course %10 announced speakers did not, maketheir appearance, as is the case ‘gone}'ally. We will advise people who go to a pie-nic Tor which prominent speakers have been engaged, to sue the managers for ddmage if they fail to procure speakers after advertising. '5 ' . REPORTER.

KENDALLVILLE. | The Lutherans of this place held a grove meeting last Sunday and a pieni¢ on’’ Monday fOHO\\'illg‘, in: Reed’s grove, juSt south of town. The picnic is represented asihaving been a very enjoyable affaiy and quite largely attended. . The Ft. Wayne delegation failed to put in an abpearance on Sunday as was expected. Some three individuals are claiming what is known as the old Ed. Lisle property on Main street. It seems that Mitehell got possession and put on some repairs which improved the property very mueh. Soon after this ILisle took possessilnu by 'rembvihg Mitchell’'s locks and putting on his own, and has the control of the building now. Com. Bidwell also comes in with a claim, and the matter will have to be determined by litigation, with, of course, uncert:miﬁ results. -

The profits of the Baptist- festival; recently held at Mitchell all, were thirty-five dollars. _ ~ Our firemen are making preparations foy a grand celebration on the coming ;;‘Jom‘t]i ot July. : ~ Our School Board troubie, bhetween Messrs. Colegrove and Bunyan, wilt come up for a decision at the next gession pf our county court. The matter was commenced at the last term and it is said the Judee has enjoined the Auditoer not te pay any school,money to either party until it has Dbeen degided: who is the legal treasurer of the Board. - , ' A lady of this county recently went up into Michigan to teach school. In a letter she says her scholars all seem to like her wvery well, and that the only complaint she had heard was from a little fellow who' said that she swore—that she “raised up her hands every morning and swore”’— which was the only thing he had against her. Michigan not only needs some of our teachers hut some of our preachers also. "

I think “Alexis” had Detter abandon his “no party” project and come over into the demoeratie fold. Unecle Sam’s pensioners are all well pleased just now, as heis paying them their quarterly allowances. The Rev. Ravlin, of Chic;igo, rather goes for our Rev. H. H. Lipes. Ile tells him that his discourse against theatres is exceedingly weak and unfair; that he has not been all over the world, and evidently knows but little of what he is talking about. ITe says if Mr. L. will go with him to McVieker’s Theatre and witness some of the plays he will come away a wiser, and perhaps a'better, man. e also tells /him that he needs a certain amount of knowledge which can only be had at variety theatres and theatre-com-iques. '

The “Bible man” is around, trying to convince the people that it is bread to the needy. - XAVIER! HAWPATCH. Mgr. EpiTtor:—While taking a stroll over the Hawpatch and adjacent country to view the landscape o’er, we became deeply impressed withthe beauties thereof. And again we resort to pen and paper to give expression to our thoughts through the columns of the BANNER. 4 ~ Improvements everywhere seems to be the order of the day. Going south from the Salem church, we! see the new brick house of Mr. Hostetter, in course of comstruction. A short distance west of the church, we behold the new dwelling of Isaac Lantz, going rapidly into completion. And on passing a couple of miles east, we notice the neat farm dwelling of Noah Lantz. Especially did we notice the neat and substantial masonry, built by the Miller Brothers, out of material most mechanics would have rejected. They certainly deserve a large portion of the public patronage. . Your Colorado correspondent still seems to think that there is some truth in the statement made in his former article, in reference to wheat raising in Colorado. We are happy to find that he still believes his own story—while others don’t—and trust he will never abandon so laudable a principle. The Grangers in this vicinity have gone into a trance, and, at present, show no apparent symptoms of life. It is generally supposed if they survive the dog-days they will return to consciousness, and live a short pe;*iod. Our citizens for the past couple of weeks have been mending“their ways.” Whether they are better run than before is hard to tell, but it has made a decided improvement on the roads,and

)with the recent rains, it has made pleasure riding a real success. - Fishing excursions to the neigh- | boring lakes are quite frequént. And muchis said about fishing but very little is seen of the fish. : $ The wheat 1s nicely headed out and if by no visitation of overruling Providence the crop is blighted, farmers will have no reason to complain of paying three dollars per day for hands to harvest so fine a crop as they have reason to expect. ' Owing to the recent demand and high prices for potatoes, an wiusually large crop has been planted. The bug, though their numbers are legion, and work constant, have, as yet, failed to seriously injure the crop. : Sunday, the 14th inst., was a day of solemn importance in the history of the Mennonite church, of this piace. Twenty-one proselytes had the rites of baptism administered l_;y Rev. Isaac Smoker, and were received into his -éharge. This speaks well of-the christian sentiment of our young men and women, and of ‘the parents under whose nurture and christian ddmonitions they were led to decide on such a course in their early days. lIoPE.

- CROMWELL. s Corn is growing delightfully. The wheat is improving fast in the verdant shade. Ice in good demand.— Strawberries are in the market. , No crusaders in this plaee. Doe. has a dog not quite as ‘big as an elephant.— That man between Cromwell and the Baltimore road wants his paper continued. : L ‘Burglars again on the rampage, and the people are warned -to have themselves fortified. A night or two agoa charge was made at the residence of Mr. Kreager, but fortunately nothing was stolen and nobody hurt. A like demonstration was made at the residence of My, Earnhart, east of town. Neighbors, keep your lamps trimmed and burning!; ‘ Van B. Smith is contracting a picce of land south of the railroad, to Mus. T.ong, of this place, for one hundred dollars per acre. o

Unele Win. Smith, of this place, had the gratification and pleasure of seeing his son for the first time in 47 years, he having left Virginia when the son, Lewis, was only one year old. ITis: brothers and sisters in this county never saw him before. = -

Come over, J. BY, and take a glass of ‘soda from' the beautiful fountain of V. B. Smith, in the new restaurant. Jno. lartzel is dangerously ill with typhoid fever at the present writing. So say the Docs. - : . . Rey. Miller, from Millwood, is here visiting friends and relatives. The wind storm that passed through here last week bléw down two or three apple trees for Mrs...J. Baker. No damage, however,only a _w;i_\' prepared for future (~un.~wiil-'.mu'vs'.; As John Earnhart was: rel m'ning" home f{rom lL.igonier, on saturday. of last week, he wak halted by 4 man coming out of the woods, a Short distance from town.

10l o ROME CITY, We were legally invited to Albion last week to assist in trying to settle a difference between parties who could not arrive at that resultfor themselves. We took the overland route, via. T. P. Kessler's new country residence,” to Brimfield, and from thence to the now establishied seat of Jjustice. - Mr. Kessler. has: erected a new barn, which, when completed, will be an ornament to his farm, an honor to the architect, and will certainly entitle T. P.to full membership with the Grangers. His house is not sufficiently advanced to justify a conclusion as to its merits, but we can safely say that the cellar is enclosed with a good substantial stone wall and is large enough to hold cider enough for family use and the agcommodation of particular friends. In passing through Brimfield we beheld the smiling countenance of the Squ_ire, who was, as’ usual, both ready and willing to give any desired information, but we rather surmise that he was inclined to impugn our motives and convert our virtues into vices, but, 'being in company with those whose conduct is above suspicion, we were allowed to pass. : Arriving at Albion, we found Court in full blast. The case on trial was one in which Miss Dr. Silsby, of Kendallville, was the plaintiff and was then occupying the witness stand. A. A. Chapin was counsel for the defendant and soon succeeded in effectually submerging the plaintiff, whereupon the case was switched off, 7.e. thrown out of court. The Bar was represented by the following named gentlemen of the legal profession, to wit: Clapp, Prickett, Prentiss, Eells, Knisely, Covell, Chapin, Maines, Alvord and Denny. . The latter, J. M. Denny, Esq., came very near interrupting the Court and arousing the anger of Elder Hough, by telling us an incident of his juvenile days; how Uncle Johnny Brothwell “scooped him” in a race for the Legislature, etc. But that lesson was the making of the boy; that’s the way he got his start in the world, and to that alone attaches all his present honor and glory. ; i

Not having visited the county seat for several months, we were struck with amazement at the improvements of the place. It is entirely metamorphosed from the Albion of old into a brisfk, lively business town, and those who were reckless enough to raise the excitement about the removal of the county seat, ought to repent of their perverseness and be ashamed of their miserable failure. We called at the Era office and found the editor closely engaged at the quill and the immortal

G. W. Roof,iwho has lately, with his celebrated wood cuts, won the reputation of being decidedly Nast-y. The boys imparted the joyful information that the Era is flourishing like a Green Bay tree. “Long may she wave.” -

It was now about feed time and we fetched up at the Worden ITouse, whei‘fe_ we found Gib in all his glory. After we retired from the table, which was groaning under all the luxuries of the season, we were forced to exclaim: If a hungry man cannot get full satisfaction at the Worden ITouse, he ought to be banished to some lonely isle and there starve to death. We were almost forced to tears when our mind carried us back .to the time when poor Gib was slaughtered for County Commisioner. DBut the ungrateful voters have no doubt ere this seen the error of their ways, and L. G. may yet hear the welcome news, “It is enough, come up higher.?

The ringing of the bell once more summoned us into the august presence of Judge Best. "Our case was called and the usual routine gone through with—the hearing of the evidenee in the case, the arguments of counsel, and the charge of the Court—after which ﬁhe jury wete delayed until a late hour, and then, like the parties themselves, failed to agree. This is but another striking illustration of the necessity of parties settling their own difficulties outside of Court. We hope the parties will now settle up, and not ventyre the dangerous experiment of another trial in Court.

We now have the joyful news that we are to have a depot at Rome City. The lumber is ordered, designs furnished and orders given to proceed. Let all rejoice that the long looked for period has arrived. . The boys and young men ought to immediately quit the practice of bathing on the banks of the lake in full view of town or be prosecuted for public indecency. It is really astonishing that young people have no more self-respect than this. ; Dr. Houghton, the aged parent of the proprietorpf the Lake Side House, has been making his son Clark quite a visit. The Doctor is well pleased with the beautiful sceneries of Rome City.; b ‘, . | Lewis Covell; Esq., and his son-in-law, Will Baker (both of Ligonier), with their families, made our town a visit and took a pleasant fishing spell last week. The ’Squire captured quite a number of the finny tribe (in a legal way). Will Baker has his eye.on the Clerk’s office, and if lueky enough to reach it we have no doubt he would make a good officer. But he is too modest for a candidate. “Modesty is what is killing him;” we fear he will never reach the promised land. ' The largest load of passengers of the season took passage on the Lake Steamer last Sunday afternoon. The Brimfield Band and several distinguished gentlemen from that town were on board. The outward-bound trip was confronted by a heavy gale which made it slow trayeling, All

WASHINGION TOWNSHIP. Eprror BANNER:—As your paper is our weekly visitor, always welcome, ‘and as we glance over its pages looking for items of interest from other places, I thought perhaps there were some who would like to hear from old Washington. '/ | 1 o Weather favorable. Wheat looks well; there will be a better crop than generally expected. Corn looks well for the season, and farmers busy cul-, tivating. Clover not very good; I fear but a half crop will be realized. Pro pects of fruit 501116\\r11at' ﬂiltfel‘illg'.;‘ The frost on the night of the 12th done no damage in this vicinity. Potato< bugs are plenty. : ~ We attended church at the W iley school house on last Sabbath and heard an address by Elder Nickerson. In his discourse he told us of a remark he heard a little boy make concerning potato bugs. “The man (said the little boy) who invented the potato bugs had ought to have his neck broke.” I wonder whether that little boy does not know who commanded all things? If not, I hope he will attend our Sabbath school. - 0 ‘ A boarder has come to the house of Miles Kiester; it’s a fine girl, they say. A PATRON’S WIFE:
