—DPeterson’s Magazine for Julyiis already on our table, and as beautiful and fresh as the roseés of summer. A new volume begins with the July number, so that now i$ an excellent time to subseribe. “Peterson’s” is unquestionably the cheapest and best of the ladies’ books. ’

-—That is a huge joke which Sammy of the thumb-paper at the “hub” perpetrated last week, viz: vainly asserting that Ze had set somebody “to writhing, and howling, in impotent rage.” Poor, deluded ninny! Why, bless you, there isn’t enough “gumption” in you to set a flea to running. ‘ —St. Nicholas for July contains a story of the war of 1812,—telling how, by stratagem, two brave girlss put to flight a party of armed British marines, who had landed on our coast,and begun to burn the shipping in the hafbor.— The same number also has an article on“ Fire Crackers and the Fourth of July” o o i B

An admonition that one wrong will never legally justify another. —Burglars are again at work in the Hawpatch. The residence of Mr/ (George Emmit, one and a half miles west of Buttermilk, was entered last Sunday during the absence of the family and robbed of about six dollars in money, consisting of a silver quarter and a quantity of nickels and /pennys” which had been carefully saved up by the children. The house had been thoroughly searched, but, with the exceptions of the small amount of money referred to and one or two other small articles, the bur-. glars got but little for their‘_tfroug;o. There is no clue to the robbers, but a strong suspicion rests upon parties who are supposed to have known of the family’s absence, o

COUNTY NEWS AND GOSSIP. : " ‘rßoMEerry. | The Tirst Presbyterian church, of Ft. Wayne, had' a pic-nic here on Thursday of last week, which, to all appearance, was a very enjoyable affair. Strawberries and ice cream were a part of the luxuries provided on the occasion, to which all the inhabitants were invited, at only ten cents a dish. The Lake Steamer and all the small boats were kept in constant employ during the entire day,and all went merry and gay until 9:40 p. M., when the excursion train left for the Queen City of the Hoosier State. Pie-nies of' this kind promise to be a very ,common occurrence in the future. :

Wolcottville proposes to have an old fashioned fourth of July dance; commencing at 9 o’clock A. 0., and closing at 9 r.». Rome City is to furnish the musie. This looks to us like solid sense and good judgment. ILet all enjoy themselves to the greatest extent on independence day, and when, night comes let all retire and enjoy nature’s peaceful rest. We congratulate our sister village on their modern improvement on the celebration of independence day. The spirit of ’76 is at fever heat in Rome. Soanxious are some of our patriots to celebrate the 4th, that a small Soretaste: took place at the mineral springs, on the north bank of the lake, on Sunday last. It really seems that our German fellow citizens are about to corivert the whole country to their favorite mode of business and enjoyment. G

. Times were lively around the Lake Side House, on Saturday night ; a great deal of fun and genuine sport was then and there disposed of. Prof. B. made a raid on the Ft. Wayne Gazette, and the Gazette thereupon made a raid upon “Wahoo Bitters,” thereupon Mr. Bitters pitched into the Life Insurance Co., who took revenge upoun i hotel reporter,from Lagrange. The latter,after trying in vain to draw his boots with the model for a pair of buggy fills, all hands retired and were safely locked up in the arms of Morpheus. lExceursion trains from all points of the compass will he run to Ft. Wayije, on the fourth of July. A big circus and menagerie are to I,)e the principal excitement of the day and night. J. C. Hall, Esq., of Philadelphia, has returned to our town where he intends, to do his level best to become permanently located.. A J. U. Miller, the gentlemanly local editor of the Kendallville Standard, visited a couple of days in our town last week. ITe was closely connected with the life insurance business; but whether Jimmie thinks of changing his business or whether he occupied that posish for the purpose of picking up “local items,” we are entirely unable to say. :

- As we expected, the "Esquire’s” jealousy was aroused. We cannot even pass through his town without he suspects some danger. Wonder.if he has ever learned that when a fellow is ":}f-; flicted with yellow jaundice that he is apt to think that everybody else looks yellow ? Pshaw, Esq., you! are dld enough to know better! “Our public schools close here on Friday next (to-morrow.) Examinations take place in the 3f_orenoonl and a, school pic-nic on the grounds in the afternoon. =As far as we have been able to learn, our schools under the management of Mr. Trump and Miss Gray have been a perfect success. lln our opinion our school officers could do no better than to engage these teachers for the fall and winter term. “Xavier” is bound to try and resurrect the old democmti(}: party, and politely invites us to join. Well, well; if that' don’t beat all: No, sir; we beg to be excused. - 'We much prefer to “paddle our own canoe.” Moreover, we heard that the democratic party was some time ago transferred to Horace Greeley, and that he having since died, the matter is entirely a thing of the past. Might just as wiell talk about voting for Jackson. No, sir; our platform is more currency, and wo to the man or party who opposes it. Sosay the people. (Editor, don’t leave this out.) -~ | Mrs. Doctor Gower beats ’em all on decorating door yards. We imagine that when that morning glory bowery gets into fuil bloom, in matter of beauty it will be a fac simile of the ancient garden of Eden. - B The dance at the Lake Side House on the evening of the 8d of July promises to be a huge affair. Everybody knows that Fourth of July dances at Rome City never fail. b

Late on Friday night last Deacon Highbargin elevated a loafer who was prowling around in the vicinity of the Magnet Mills. Night walkers and prowlers should learn that it would be much safer for them in some other locality. At'least so says the Deacon. J. C. Geisendorff, of Indianapolis, has been visiting his friends and refatives here for the last few days.

Rumor has it that we are to have a paper mill on the site of the old woolen factory, susceptible ofrgiving em-ployment-to one hundred hands. So mote it be.

The wheat fields in this vicinity begin to assume a golden hue, which admonishes us that harvest is near at hand. . : :

A large portion of the town is receiving a new coat of paint, which is an evidence of enterprise and prosperity. : i | } Messrs Judge Clapp &J. €. Zimmer‘man, of the Magnet Mills, were in town on Thursday last, looking after matters pertaining to the woolen factory. G. W. Roof made our town a flying visit,on Thursday last. Look out for a wood-cut.of the Magnet Mills, mineral springs or some other Rome City noyelty. / s " We are sorry to inform our readers that our Post Master F. U. Miller has been confined to his room, sick for some time. Hope he will soon be out and able to attend to business.

~ The Lake Steamer makes -an excursion trip to Round Island every Sunday afternoon, Let the country peo-

| ple and neighboring towns take notice and govern tliemselves accordingly. Al e T ‘This exceedingly warm weather has the effect to warm the water in the Lake and to soften the fish. All those intending to come here and fish had | better do it‘soon, as the fish will soon ‘ be too soft for family use. | The potato bugs are taking Paris 'Green lively these times. : . Woleottville fishers come hére to el : ‘ ; . Oliver Raby, a twelve-year-old son lof Dr. Wm. Raby of this place, was ‘drowned svhile bathing in the lake, on Tuesday afternoon at about 2 o’clock. “lle and Rate Hall, another small boy, ‘had gone over a small eminence, out ‘of view of the business part of town, for the purpose of bathing. Young 'Raby ventured beyond his depth, and his companion,being very much fright- ’ ened, failed to give immediate alarm, ‘BO that when the body was discovered it had begn some twelve feet under “water for quite a while. Drs. Will-i-ia,ms, Gower and Teal were present “and assisted it recovering the body, - but all that mediecal skill could devise failed in bringing the unfortunate vietim to life. The boy’s father was absent, at Kendallville, at the time of the sad occeurrence, and his sister Em'ma had just two hours before started ‘on a visit to Ohio. This sad event falls heavily upon the bereaved par‘ents and family, who have the sym- ) pathy of the entiré community. It is to be hoped that this sad and memorable lesson will be a warning to the other boys to be more careful in the ‘reckléss habit of bathing in deep water, and henceforth heed the advice } of their parents. : .

4 KENDALLVILLLE. v This place was considerably excited last Sunday 1:161‘11ing when the news became general that Mrs. Jacobh Keller was dead. Murs. Keller had. been a resident of this place for several years and Teaves a husband and three small childven to mourn their loss. She was a lady of more than ordinary intelligence, and was ujlwnys lively ‘and vivacious in the presence of others. She was respected and loved Uy all who knew her, and her death has created a void which only time can supply. She was about twenty-nine years of age. Iler remiains were taken to Ligonier for interment in the Jewish' cemetery at that place. =~ _The profits of the Methodist feslival last week were about $l5O, which will add materially toward the completion of their new chureh.

A large number of our citizens went to Sturgis, Michigan, last Friday, to attend the Spiritualist’s convention which held over Sunday at that place. The best way to usé paris green for the destruction of the potato bug is to dissolve a small quantity in a pail of water, s!-o that the water looks g‘l'é(rn, and ajply with an old broom 6i a watering pot. - = - Noble county seems to: be in company in the keeping of a large dogin this place. The county not only furnishes bread for the animal-but shingles also. ' ‘ ' The Brewery and Bixler Lake receive a great many Sunday visitors, and some of them return mighty well pleased with what they receive there. T don’t know whether it is a foaming glass of lager .or a bath in Bixler’s crystal waters, either, 1 believe; produces exhilerating symptoms. - . Buttermilk is becoming a very popular drink -on East street. We need rain very much in this locality. ' ’ v There are several persons in this vicinity whe contemplate attending the Democratic State Convention at Indianapolis next month. - XAVIER.

£ ©.. CROMWELL, ' IFarmers in this locality expect to commence cutting wheat about the second week of July. . . While in' Kendallville the other day. we met our friend and fellow-citizen, Wm. Grow, who informed us that he would be a eandidate bef_dre the county convention for the office of Treasurer.. We doubt not in the least that he will get the nomination, as everybody in the county knows that Bill is honest and eminently qualified to fill any office in the county. '

The. cars will be' running through here on the B. & O. road inside of two months.

There are a few vacant lots here yet to be sold or given away within the next sixty days. Who will be the first to take up with either of these chances ? o al b

Miy. Scott, one of our merchants, a.n";d/ Miss Mary Upson, also a resident of this place, concluded that one house Waég large - enough for both, and straightway the twain were made one. We wish them much happiness and hope their pathway through life may be strewed with the ambrosial flowers of peace and happiness. DALE.

SNEAK SAMMY speaks of “Xavier’s barrenness of brain.” This mode of disparaging the mental powers of others having become chronic with the inteltectual colossus at ‘Albion, it is not likely that the sneering allusion will prove a great discomfiture to our Kendallville correspondent. Indeed, if Sammy’s judgment in this “respect could be accepted as true in foundae tion, there would to-day be precious few citizens in Noble county who'do not suffer of precisely the same “bar--4 ’ Gy 4 ¥ renness.” We have, at diverse times, heard Sammy apply identical remarks to fully a dozen gentlemen whose names are fresh in our memory, and whom the people generally esteem pretty sensible men, albeit they do not come up to the Era man’s standard of intellectual endowment. The facts are, Sammy has formed such an exalted opinion of his mental, capacity as to foolishly imagine that after his cranium had heen supplied, theré wasn’t a particle of brain left for anybody else. , :

1‘ & A REJOINDER. ' | Mg. Eprror:—l notice in your last ‘ issue of the BANNER an article signed by one R. 8. Latta, wherein he styles {the acts of certain road viewers as “ludicrous and ridiculous.” Now it so ! happened (through no agency of mine) { that I was appointed one of this “won- | derful ‘trio,”” and justice demands ' that I should “rise” and explain. | Tt is true that Jacob Wolf, *Squire i Hostetter and myself on the appointed lday_were on hand. Also, a stranger | (to'me at least) made his appdarance | by érossing the river in a canoe; and, ’ in speaking of the necessity or utility | of the proposed road, this stranger .'l(‘ll(‘. may have been a petitioner for 3 aught I know) remarked that it would ’ be a direct road from ‘Benton to Wa- | waka . that every person traveling from one of these places to the other, and wishing to avoid such small incorporated towns as Ligonier, would take this “bee-lihe route,” thereby sav- | ing some eighty rods of travel. A very “hefty” argument, indeed! as ";e%ere would be, on an average, at least one person yearly who would take this route. - It is true, also, that this stranger brought his final argument, to the effect that a grant had been obtained for a school-house at the ea&;,tern extremity.of the proposed road, and that some of the scholars lived on the opposite sidei of the tiver, and a bridge would be necessaty for school purposes. Now, I admit to having remarked to said stranger that, if that

was the object 0f the proposed road, it would not be very expensive to build &foot-bridge for the accommodation of the few children on the west side | of the river wighing to. attend this proposed-school; hence the explosion Yeferred to. . * It is not true, as intimated, that there are nine families on each side of the river who wish to send thejr children to this proposed school-house, It is not true that the second viewer took a stick or other instrument and ‘mczlsunedi the distance, grade,ete. The distance to be filled at the west end of the bridge is some twenty-five or thirty rods and will require from two to four feet of a fill, and it is well known to every one living in the vicinity that a part of this distance i annually overflown, except in dry seasons like the present. The cost of making this proposed highway cannot be less than $1,500 or $2,000, and are the tax-pay-ers of Noble county in favor ofiforking over the money for said improvement ? But there is one thing this “second Solomon” entirely overlooked. This. “wonderful ‘trio,”” as he'is pleased to call-us, before making our report took an oath, before ‘Squire Green, to faithfully :md:imp:ﬁ'tiully di'schm'go our duties as such viewers. The law provides that such viewers shall meet ‘and examine said proposed highway, and if they deem it practicable and of public utility, they shall so report, and the County Commissioners will order ‘the road to be opened. But in case they come.to the conclusion, after viewing such proposed highway, that the same is not of public utility, and acting, as I said ‘before, under the ‘solemnity of an oath, is it fair, proper or decent for any man to attack us Dbecause of our age, or style our report “as “ludicrous and ridiculous” because of its unfavorable character to such man’s pet scheme ? And what is more ‘astonishing, all this ridicule, wit and ‘sarcasm comes from a divine —a ‘ preacher of the gospel of Christ—who frequently occupies thie pulpit in the ‘ M. E. Church. Whether or not he has ‘been instrumental in saving sinners ‘and bringing them 1, into the fold, I cannot say; thatis a matter between him and his God. One thing, howeVer,_ is cerfainly lacking in this noted divine, andithat is, perhaps, “the greatest of all”’—charity for old men who have the misfortune to liye ilff incorporated towns. . L 1t may be proper to pause and contemplate the benefits which may accrue to humanity from the counsel of this most -worthy diyvine. Isit too much to suppose that when his cranial development has progressed a little farther he may begin, with the sagacity ‘of Lycurgus and the eloquence of Cicero (it is proper here to state ‘that Tam not personally acquainted with either of these gentlemen, but I learn upon inquiry that both were dead several years ‘be,fo’rei:l was born) to advocate the building of bridges and the filling up of low places to accommodate a few individuals at the public expense ? ' el ‘What a pity there is ‘L}o mud-hole An which this man might® wallow and renew his strength, like the pole-cat, since a perpetyation of his stay would certainly prevént ignorant old men from making unfavorable reports as road viewers and entailing further evils upon suffering humanity. But ‘though it is true he is likely to slip away from earth before mankind are ready to dispense with his services, both temporal and spiritual, yet his fame is secure; his val‘pa,ble services will be long remembered by all road viewers, with many emotions, until the sun and moon go down, and some. future historian will stick his finger in a barrel of coal-tar and write his name upon the| proposed bridge (when builf), thus securing to him an immortality as lasting as that of the rag-weed, which to-day is, and tomorrow is cast into the pig-pen. So mote it be. sl WOoD,

JAUNDICED SAMM.Y,dhrip-g his somewhat "blank career, has done a good deal of reading, from which he should have profited sufficiently to at least partially subdue his innate meanness and intense longing for traducing his neighbors. Taking cognizance of his insensibility to wholesome lessons, it may not be wholly amiss to remind him that there is some force in the suggestion of a poet who onee this stan-. Za penned: . 2 . ‘'But as gome muskets 8o contrive by Asoft to hit the mark they drive at, » And thonch well aimed at duck or plover, Bear wide and kick thefr owner over.”

‘We need not say to our readers that for anything in the line of men’s and boy’s wear, Engel & Co., the popular Clothiers, Hatters and Merchant Tailors at Kendallville, take the lead in having the largest and finest assortment, and in making lower prices than any house in Northern Indiana, *

. SINCE peevish Sammy ¢f the lEra finds special-delight in :miinudverting upon what he denominates “self-ex-pression”-(all because a friend suggested another-as a su‘itable person to fill a représentative positiony -it is certainly not out of place to see how he himself stands in that particular.— ‘We have a somewhat distinet recoltection that Sam started on a pjlgrimage to Washington in 1866,'t(r§n;ake a “self expression” in his behalf for the office of A@essor-o,f Internal Revenue; then we remember that, two years later, he experienced a most earnest desire to serve the people either as Lieut. Governor or as Secretary of State; we also recollect some very remarkable “self-expressions” from the same source in 1870, denoting a réadiness to devote his invaluable talents to the welfare of the people in the halls of Congress; and, lastly, we chance to know something about a moderate sized batch of letters leaving the Albion P. O. in 1872, dissemimating the gratifying intelligence that Sammy, like Barkis, was still “willing” to spend two years of his precious time at the National Capital. Now, this, in itself, is allright; but itoccurs to us that a fellow who has had such an inordinate itching for office, ought to display a “wee bit” of modesty in lecturing those whom he hates chiefly because they have succeeded better than he fared himself.

The first session of the Forty-third Congress has adjourned’ sine. die.. It was prolongéd over six months, but all of its useful work was done during the last six weeks. The first part of the session was absolutely "wasted, and the last part pressed down with arrears. of legislation. The session might profitably have been shortened by half. There are obvious reasons why Congress should not go to Washington for fun. One of them is that the expenses of sucpfl fun are enormous, and another is that buffoonery and tight-—rope- dancing are not legitimate funetions of Government.—Chicago Tribune, June 24, 5

COLUMBIA CITY ITEMS. l I will give the readers of the BaxNer a part of the programme of the celebration at this place on the 4th.— There will be an infantry and cavalry company formed (if possible) who will paradé t‘ixrou§h the streets,led by the Columbip City Band, and commanded (I suppose) by Capt.

- The total fund contributed to the sufferers of the.great inundation in Louisiana, so far reported, is only about one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars, and this too, with the assuranee before the country that not less than one million will be needed to prevent actual starvation. Thousands of people at this writing are actually suffering the pangs of starva tion,—shelterless and homeless—really perishing of want. Will our benevolent citizens allow this opportunity to pass of proving whether. it is not “better to give than to receive ?” Ey e e : .
