—*The county paper,” says the Connersville Examiner, “is:the best paper in the world. No other contains the marriages and deaths, to say nothing of the divorces and births; no other relates the accidents happening before the doors of villagers; no other gives the time of the 'next ball, picnic, or political ‘,meeting;‘ no other discusses the affairs of the town amd county, or the arrival of new goods on the merchants’ counters. It is the most welcome visitor at the door of the villager and farmer, and is, in the same pro portion, the best medinm for advertising.”? ¢ ¢ s .

COUNTY NEWS AND GOSSIP. T ey Two pic-nics enjoyed themselves here on Thursday last,—one from Ft. Wayne and the other from Avilla.— The Ft. Wayners came well supplied with foaming “lager” and other delicacies, and, being mostly Germans, they enjoyed themselves finely. They treated our people to some choice vocal music. The pic-nic from Avilla was accompanied by the Avilla Band, and during the day,and up to the time of leaving, favored the citizens with manv of their choice pieces. Theleader of the band,Mr.George Ohneck,formerly lived here, and consequently felt quite at home, and all the Romanites were glad to see Gieorge and his wife and “boy.” The Avilla Band, for one of its age, is a perfeet success, and if it meets with no bad luck, will surely march to fame. We are forced to say, in regard to.the Avilla people, that their pic-njcers here were composed of the best looking and as well-behaved a lot of young people as have visited here for quite a while. .We cordially invite such pic-nies to repeat their visits at some future time. ~

Our publie, schools closed here on Friday last: We were not permitted to be present, but learned that the closing gxercises were very interesting. Spéeches were made by Dr. Gower, Esq. Dixon and others. The schools had a very enjoyable piec-nic on the grounds, in which most of the citizens took part. Mr. Trlimp and Miss Gray, (the! teachers), leave here with the hearty good wishes of: all, and we believe that all desife their return at the next term of school. -

Mr. Sexton, a brother of ‘our Lieut. Governor, Leonidas SCXL()].I, has bheen enjoying himself hiere for several days, fishing and luxurating atthe ILake Side llouse, mineral springs, &c.— Mr. S. makes our place annual visits on this business. We are ¥ooking for Gov. Tom Browne. - .

The first shipment of cats for the season took place on Friday last. The proprietor of the ILake . Side iJouse shipped a box of roydl and selected cats to certain parties on Second street, ! Cincinnati. May we not now hope’ that the shiliment of: dogs will soon: commence. | Ilupmvem'emts on t'lle flouring mill goes bravely 01;1. The timbers are now being éupplieﬂ,» and two more storie§ and a flat roof is to be'added to the building, when we will have one of the largest and I)est arranged flouring mills in Northern Indiana.. It is the intention of the proprietors to do a large merchant and shipping business.

Sneak thieves are numerous all over the county. All persons should be ontheir guard and give the whelps a warm reception. A couple of barefooted, half-naked, half-starved, illbred; lazy, lousy, worthless scmﬁps entered our_pv'emises last Friday forenoon, while all the folks (for a few minutes) were absent, and carried out pies, cakes, ete., and when my wife returned they were sitting in the shade of a-tree mear by pleasantly masticating the results of their pilfering. They even had the cheek to sauce the mistress 'of the liouse for interfering with their enjoyment, As the laws of our State offer no inducement to bring such whelps to justice, there seems to be no real remedy but the laws (.)f‘fJildge Lynch, and it is well' for these straggling nuisances that the news of their visit did not reach us in ti}me, or they would have been well paid for all their impudence and insolence, They departed in the direction of Kendallville. 'The female suffrage question is bound to enter into politics at no distant period. It is already being agitated. A very spirited and warm discussion. of this exciting question took place at the Lake Side House last week. The fmatter was finally settled by compromise. o '

TheOrange township teachers’ instituté met here last Saturday. Present, J. M. Trump and eleven other scheolmarms. Tllfe president failed to come’ to time, thereupon the whole fraternity made & raid upon the Magnet Woolen Mills, which, however, were not in motion. They were kindly shown througlp by Deacon Highbargin, who explained the nature, power, and working;; capacity of the machinery in a very satisfactory, manner. The flouring mills of Berry & Anderson were then visited, and Newt’s modesty and bashfulness were. put to a severe test by the presence of so many intellﬁgent and good-looking ladies; however, he managed to acquit himself with great credit. After taking a glance at the ruins of the old and lamented Woolen Factory, the institute took a recess of two hours for dinner. At 2 o’clock P. . the institute boarded the Lake Steamer for an excursion to Round Island and the mineral springs, taking observations and lessons from nature, after which they adjourned sine die and dispersed to their several homes. This is perhaps the most pleasant meeting of the teachers’ institute during the season. If teachers are compelled by law to attend institutes and get no pay for it, we say let them put in the time as pleasantly as possible.” Upon inspection of the physiognomies of the several members of this institute, we are forced to say that they are a very intelligent and good-looking corps of teachers. e bk '

It is said that misfortunes never come singly. This adage has been fearfully demonstrated in our town in the last few days. On Friday evening last a group of boys were assembled near the railroad depot, some of whom weret firing shooting crackers, -and one of the boys being in possession of a revolver concluded to fire it off. The ball tood effect in the cheek of a son of J. W. Teal, making a fearful wound and slightly fracturing the jaw bone, causing a dangerous if not a fatal wound. On Sunday. evening a little son of Jimmy Kilbright failed to dome home at the usual time. Alarm ‘was given and search instituted and continued u;mtil nine o’clock on Monday. morning, when the dead body

was found /at the head-gate of the old mill-race, where it had lain since two o’clock of the previous day. Another caution to parents to be more careful with their children.

The Good Templars are to have a grand pic-nic here on the Fourth, to commence at 10 o’clock A. 1., in which all the world and the rest of mankind are invited to' participate (providing they will keep sober).. I , . Newt. Berry weighed the teachers’ institute last Saturday at the mill and reports 940 pounds of regular female institute. But we think there must be some mistake, as 940 pounds to eleven teachers would be rather a light, average. , : ITarvest commenced in this vicinity last Monday morning. This week will “get away with” fully one-half of the wheat harvest in our region. :

~ Esquire Daniel W. Green, of Ligonier, was in our town last Monday. | A large crowd is expected at the Lake Side dance to-morrow (IFriday) evening. ( , :

Geisendorff & Co. are now shipping ice to Cincinnati. i Calvin Hall has -enlarged his . domains in the patent right business., . o L AnEis, : KENDALEVILLE, 1 did think that “Alexis” showed some symptoms of reformation, politically, when he advanced the fact that the best man will win in the coming county election, and also the idea that we had’ better have only one set of candidates in the county ‘this fall. I took it as strong evidence that he was about to leave the old. corrupt repub--li¢:m party. wreek, and as thin,gs are now 'sh.apin'g‘ politica]lyl' I could not see where he would go but into the democratic party. Ilis ideas about Horace Greeley and the “democratic party, are, of ‘course, all bosh. - They are ‘simply stereotype phrases and need no comments. - lis inflation theoy is-also bad, and I am unable to see_whererin an increase of the currency wo@ld benefit him. Inflation can only benefit the person who owes, largely and wishes to pay his delits with depreciated currency, and, ,:ilso, the man who has unreliable property which he wishes to dispose of. More currency would stimulate speculation, rates of interest would go higher- and it would €énd -in general disaster to every one. What we want is a solid currency of the old Jacksonian kind, and T am in favor of a gradual return to it. :

It is said- that the Grangers have made arrangements with some of our grocerymen by which they get,2 icents per pound more for butter and purchase goods at lower figures than other people, providing they present a ticket showing that, they belong to that organization. Serving every one alike in deal generally pleases, and as a rule makes more friends than any other method. :

~ Those who wish to know the opinions of some of the scientific men of the age upon Spiritualism should réad Alfred R. Wallace, the eminent English scientist, who has published an article in the Fortnightly Review on that subject. Ie commeneced his investigations a skeptic and has come out a believer. His article and conversion is undoubtedly a great victory for Spiritualism. . Cal Wakeman. was thrown from a horse a few days ago and considerably injured. - - Public reprimands in church and Sunday school are popular in Kendallville. ~ : e '

Mr. Derry, of Lisbon, ‘died on; Friday last. lle was seventy-six years of age. :

Kendallville has a “grand drive,” which few towns of its size possess. It comprizes Main, Mitchell. East and Diamond—the four principal streets of the place—which cross each other at right angles, forming a long square and a perfectly level track, except a slight sag on Diamond street. The distance around this parallelogram is about a mile and a half. It is patronized by almost every individual who owns a horse and buggy. John Mitchell with his Studebaker buggy, Steve Helmer’s sorrels, John Sticht’s bays, Willet’s high-headed browns and John Raymond’s gay driving nag may be seen almost daily coursing around this beautiful drive at full speed. C. 0. Myers formerly dash(ifd around this square at full speed, hut! latterally he has disappeared. i : oOld “barrenness of brain”—wwell, I will let him be in the hands of the editor of the BANNER, who seems to be ‘dissecting him into very small pieces. e The late rains have done an immense amount of good to the crops in this vieinity. : A. Shroyer became White the other night. i ! ' The Liberal Religionists of this place hold weekly meetings for social benefit. The next will be at the residence of the Hon.

- J. R. Steinbarger, of Elkhart, but formerly of this township, is visiting his friends here. ' John has improved “muchly” in the last six years, and we think city life agrees with him.

Congdon & Underhill, of F't. Wayne, were in Springfield several days last week, erecting the Penny and Billman monument. . It is between fourteen and fifteen feet high, and by far the handsomest monument in our little cemetery:

The farmers were very busy last week,mowing and hauling hay. Some of the farmers will begin threir harvesting this week. They dread it, and so do their wives and daughters. An abundant crop is anticipated.

While a number of boys was hathing last week, little Albert Steinbarger, who could not swim, stepped into a deep hole and could not make his way out until help was procured, being almost drowned. S £ Miss Katie Lynch’s school expired on Saturday last. As we had not visited her school during the term, we thought we would quit work and witness.the closing exercises. Katie has given better satisfaction in this district than any other teacher to our knowledge.” She talks of teaching a select term of school for us this fall. Mr. Mummert, Trustee of Elkhart township, is going to erect a new brick school house, in the Kansas district, this fall. _ Office-seekers are too numerous to mention in Kansas distriet.

Eprror BANNER:—I do not give a weekly report from thiS'loculi:ty,ffor; the reason that nothing ftx“anspires;" which would be of benefit to the many readers of the BANNER, but I will give one item that may be of interest to some of your readers. It has been rumored about here that a dead human body was found in a swamp near this place. The report raised quite an excitement and much’ was said that had no foundation to it. The old adage is, a tale never loses anything but still gains. ~ Now, for the benefit of this community and others who may have heard the report, which I am informed wenf .a good ways, I will state that no body was found in said swamp except that of a cat: which was, deposited there over a year ago. I hope the excitement will die away soon.’

The Whitley = Commercial ¥’ vs. the Ligonier Crusaders. ;

Ep. BANNER:—Our attention has been called tb a scurrilous article in the Whitley county Commercial, of June 25th, which is as false as it is malicious—the remarks are asfollows:

THE CRUSADER B. B. “RUFFS.” A few weeks ago the Crusader Base Ball Club, of Liigonier, came to Columbia City, to play a mateh game with the Silene club of this place.. They spent the Sabbath here and during the day played a few games which we think was an insult to the town. :

.~ Now, Mr. editor, we did not arriye at Columbia until about five o’clock p. m. - After partaking supper, we, to‘gether with about fifty citizens of that Iplace visited the fair grounds, (the place which had been selected for the game to be played upon the following day), and this visit upon our part was solely for the purpose of Viewilfg the vantage ground for the coming .contest. It is true that while there some one of our' number took a ball from ‘his pocket and tossed it to one of his comrades and ‘it was passedfaround ‘among the crowd promiscuously, and it was struck a few times with a bat, but ho g‘;u_n"’e nor effort in that dij rection was indulged in. . In regard to ‘the obscene letter he refers to, we solemnly disclaim any participation in, or knowledge of its authenticity., After having received kind courtesies of the eitizens of that place as only gentlemen can accord to strangers, we were shocked and chagrined to learn ‘thaf the billingsgate editorial referred to had been sent broadeast to the eitizens of this place. We are confident that the fellow who assumes the editorial chair of that sheet will meet the just scorn and indignation of the good citizens ofithat place. In the winding .up of his fherculean effort, he says, among numerous other falsehoods, that we departed ourselves as a pack of “ruffs” and went whooping and yelling like a pack of savages, which all who were cognizant of our actions will bear us out in branding as unmitigated falsehoods. We are sorry to be compelled to reply to the remarks of this fellow, after having learned his social standing, and dearth of comnion sense, but in justice to our own citizens who may not know the creature we fleem it ‘necessary to make the above answer, | ;

The dedication of the Odd Feéllows’ Ha]l at this place was a very nice affair indeed. The Warsaw, Cherubusco and Auburn brass bands were present on the gccasion. Several lodges were represented. The lgidies gave an icecream festival, or rather had ice-cream and other delicacies spread out in abundance in the cour:;house -yard, from which the’y realized the nice little sum of %250 over and above expenses, so I am told, The proceeds to go to the L.utheran Church.

The laying of the corner-stone of the new Lutheran church will take place July 2d. . People are getting ready to harvest, some will commence this week. The wheat is ripening very fast. Corn is looking splendidly in this vicinity. The Pierceton. (Opera) base ball club “scooped out” the Silenes last Tuesday, the seore standing 16 to 18.
