Rev. 0. A. Burgis, of Indianapolis, is expected to conduct the meeting. All are cordially invited. ' ,

—Jonathan Simmons, jr., istemporarily located at Morley, Mich., a brisk little town on the Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad. He says he feels rather lonesome without the BANNER and, has wisely ordered it to be sent to hini at that place. |, -

—Peter Elser, of York township, expresses himself highly gratified over the nomination of Judge orace P. Biddle by the Democratic State convention. Mr. Elser is personally acquainted with the Judge, and pronounces him an honest, upright man.

© —Rev. Wm. Waltman was in town yesterday and called at our sanctum for a social chat.: Mr. W. will be a candidate before the democratic convention for the office of county treasurer.

—Horace Greeley Lockhart, clerk in the Third Auditor’s office at'Washington, arrived here on Tuesday after‘noon, to make his annual visit at the fireside of his parents. “Hon” presents' a remarkably fine appearance, but does not give a very. inviting account of official hife at the national capital. Unless a better position is’ offered him, it is very questionable whether he will return.

—Rev. A. H. Laing, of Marseilles, Illinois, spent a couple of days in town during the forepart of the weék, preaching in front of the Ligomier House on Sunday and Monday evenings. Mr. Laing is a native Hoosier, having been born and raised near Warsaw, and was wholly dependent upon his own resources for an education. Though he is yet a young man, ‘he is a remarkably brilliant and eloquent speaker and bids fair to become one of the most popular pulpit orators of the land. ; :

—We are in receipt of an interest ing and well written communication from the Hawpatch, but owing to our invariable and oft repeated rule, to insert no correspondence whatever until we have learned the real name of its author, we are compelled to decline its publication.

Billingsgate Journalism.

- We have had an opportunity on one or two occasions to refer in a general way to the courtesy which should il:e at all times extended to each other by journalists. The public is rarely interested in the petty squabbles of editors or newspaper writers, however important the point at issue may be to the principals to. the controversy. An editor who habitually obtrudes his private estimation of a brother journalist upon his readers is guilty of a gross indecency. This habit of personal journalism is happily now almost entirely confined to the rural press.— These bucolic gentlemen having little else to write about, indulge their spleen in virulent/attacks upon théir contemporaries, wherein the most intemperate language is freely uged, often rising to the epic grandeur of the foulest billingsgate. As we said before, this sort of journalism is now rarely indulged in except by an obscure country paper, or an occasional disreputable daily, so’ totally indecent as to merit the contempt of all respectable people. When Mr. Dickens ecaricatured this tendency of the rural editor in the famous creation of the rivals, Pott and Slurk, and their immortal set-to in the columns of their respective journals, he hardly exaggerated the performance which one may see almost any day by an examination of . the exchange list of a daily paper. ' We give a single example from the Kendallville Standard : . ‘

The Ligonier Banngew is one of the most infamous, lying sheets -that ever disgraced any commuuit{, and the arrogant ass and unprincipled pup who runs it,lets no opportunity pass to villify, traduce and slander, Kendaljville and its citizens. His filthy sheet containg from one to a dozen lies each week concerning our citizens—many of them without a shadow of truth. The soap thief who pimps for him here, has been compelled to take back and swallow a large number of his lies, but they are so numerous that the remark now is: ‘‘Every one knows what an infamous liar ke is, and it ain’t worth noticing.”. il .

The spectacle presented by an editor, who, presuming to- act as a teacher of the publie, can so prostitute/himself as to use such langnage toward a contemporary,who,whateverhis faults, is presumably a better man than his defamer,is not calculated to elevate the profession to the plane of respectability Editors who so flagrantly violate the rules of good breeding, to say nothing about common, decency, should forfeit the respect of.the entire community. The true journalist has a far higher mission than to traduce his neighbors. If he has nothing better to offer his readers, he would far better say notliing at all. A little spice now and then gives his columns a pardonable piguancy, but it must be a very dépraved taste indeed which craves such food as is furnished by the extract quoted above.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. .

We transfer the above to our columns solely for the purpose of showing the people of Noble county that the contempt in which they hold the degraded libeller of the filthy sheet at Kendallville is fully shared by respectable journalists. There ls tZ)i-kla‘y,‘ within the scope of:the Northern Indiana Editorial Association, scarcely a solitary member of the press who' does” not cordially endorse every, sentence in the Sentinel's strictures. So far as we are personally concerned, nothing which the Standard may say can or will have the least effect upon public opinion. Whosoever personally knoweth IC. O. Myers recognizes in him a libeller, a falsifier, a swindler, a counterfeiter, and a perjured villain. lle is loathed and depised by eveny respectable citizen of the county. An assertion from his pen is at once accepted as a lie. llis denunciations are considered co;mpliment"’s, if indeed he 'were capable of bestowing a compliment. = Utterly destitute of manhood, he succeds in attracting attention only through the peculiar scintillations of his species, the pole-, cat. , . = We know quite well that a reference to the characteristics of this low creature is distasteful to our readers and to decent men generally; but there are times when a Ideviation from éstablished rules appears imper-' ative. . ————— i —The South Bend 77ibune offers the following suggestion which is so simple that:it would be well to give it a trial:- “If you have been pickling or handling acid fruit and have stained your hands, wipe them lightly, and while they are yet moist strike a match and shut your hands around it 80 as to catch the smoke, and the stain will disappear.” o ~Sammy, of the Era, still evades a direct issue on those little points presented t 0 his -consideration a few ~weeks since. He wiggles and squirms, like unto Satan in holy water. When~ever he comes to time—toes the mark lfairly and squarely—we will furnish -specifications that will scatter his gen‘eral denials without leaving a vestige of their flimsy fabric. i il ~ —John Segner, the new barber, hais just erected the handsomest sign in ltown. This looks liké business and ‘shows the liberality and good taste of the enterprising proprietor. —The painting was, done at Newman’s carriage shop. ok

—Theidelegates to the 15th of July convention, from Noble county, were P Kessler, Dr. Parker, Charles G. Aichele, O, D. Willett, Peter Ringle, Geo. Keehn, and J. B, Stoll..

~Mr. ‘George Fisher, formerly of Wolf Lake, has become associated with L. T. Fisher, of this place, in the drug business, under 'the firm name of Fisher & Fisher. .

-—Efforts are being made to organize an agricultural society in Steuben ‘county, and to make arrangements for the holding of a fair next fall.

The handle factory will be erected opposite the foundry. ' ; The report of the inviestigating committee shows that our school-house cost less than thirty thousand dollars. Pole-cat Myers’ locks have been shorn and I prophesy that his influence over the pension agent is broken. . There will be a wedding one mile south of this city soon. Of course the Rev. Geo. W. Chapman will officiate. : ;

" Your correspondent was ‘highly complimented by a young lady the other evening while poking his head out of an upper window to gaze upon her beautiful form. Said young lady, while passing our residence, remarked to us, “Young man, you had better go to béd.”. “Young man” was what struck us. She had been to the brewery. i

';St'l'eet preaching is held regularly in this city every Sunday afternoon.

There are some voters in this vicinity who are opposed to the repeal of the Baxter law. _ The ladies of the Methodist Church will hold a fair in about two months to pay the expense of frescoing their new building, which will cost about six hundred dollars. 'l‘he)l are busily preparing articles for the occasion and will visit some of the adjoining towns and neighborhoods, for contributions. B j

There were seven delegates from Noble county in attendance at the Democratic State Convention, four of whom were from Kendallville. That beats the “bread and butter” concern.

Judge Clapp is mentioned as a candidate for Congress upon the republican ticket. It is said that he will I‘ece‘ivp ‘the support of the government employes of this distriet. . With all Sam:Alvord’s fault-finding, he failed to put i an appearance at the State convention. e did not receive notice in time, I suppose. : Dr. Tedl’s report is highly complimentary to the trustees who biuilt the school-house. . 3 Both of our bread wagons are runniig again. : It is said that several of our teachers will not return to teach again, among whom is Miss Joneés." Kendallville pays five thousand dollars annually to her preachers. Will the morals of the town warrant its continuance? ITadn’t the ministers better extend their limits ‘and enter places of iniquity and break them up? . Early potatoes will be a light crop in this vicinity, owing to the drouth. e ‘ XAVIER. JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP. A sad ' accident occurred in our neighboxlhood on the evening of J uly 4th. "A grand-child of Mr. Kutcher, a little girl about eighteen months old, fell into a cistern, and before she could be recovered her spirit had taken its everlasting flight—gone to God wh__l) gave it. A-fterf meeting on the evening of June 29jt‘h some sneak stole from the Anspaugh - school-house a:‘clock belonging to Miss Ray, the teacher. - Our wheat harvest is over, and the oats will soon do to cut. Corn has been suffering for want of rain; but yesterday afternoon we were blessed with a refreshing shower. = .

The 01d School Baptist Association of Northern Indiana (called Mt. Salem) will meet with the Providence Church, in Elk@hart county, ten miles southwest of Goshen, on Friday, August 14th, and continue in session three days. | : We think it almost an impossibility to raise a political excitement in our to\'vvn,l Members of both parties have beconge disgusted with the acts of their political leaders—men who were elected to office in the full belief that they were honest and thought more of a gnod name than of a few dollars, but who, after they were elected, sold themselves for a mess of pottage. Yet the right of suffrage is guaranteed us by the laws of our country and we expect to ever exercise that right. , : . The anti-masonic movement, which last spring sliow-ed some signs of life, has ever since their county convention been dead, and I doubt if the sound of an earthquake could wake it. Jeemes, of Ligonier; visited our town last week on a berrying expedition, and we look for him around again about the first of @ctober with two anti-masonic tickets to supply our town. : SINE CURA.

—Mr. Jonathan Smucker, of Stark county, Ind., is visiting his old friends and neighbors on the Hawpatch. He says crops are excellent in Stark; yet he considers the Hawpatch far ahead of any teyritory in the whale Union.

TATE ITEMS. THERE are now about 2,000 granges in the United States, with perhaps 1,000,000 me mbers'who are voters. The St. Joseph Manufacturing Company of Mishawaka, have received another order| from Spain for their celebraten Scofield corn shellers.

The Grangers of White county have openly res¢lved not to take political action as such, but leave each to act with the pglitical party of his choice. The Terre Haute Journal says:— “The woman crusade has failed. It was not started on a correct and proper basis. hat little good it effected was not permanent. It was transitory in its reform, and hence some other movement calculated to make men more temperate should be substituted in its place.” - iy

South Bend Register: The wheat crop is haryested,and in ‘those places where threshing has been done, the yield is beyond expectation. A farmer informs us that in threshing the wheat of several fields, the yield was a little over twenty-five bushels to the acre—at least five bushels more than he expected. » o

A campi of 15 or 20 thieves are settled in the\woods near Fort Wayne.— The Sentinel says: They constitute a regularly; rganized league of thieves, and it is Sypposed that they have concealed ‘in [the woods all manner of stolen property.' We opine that-a large numlper of the recent burglaries and robberies in- this city were committed by these villains. The Mishawaka Enterprise says:— Miss Annie Moffatt, the good looking lady clerkjat the pgstoffice, has been missing since last Friday night. = She started ostensibly, for South Bend, since when mothing has been heard from her. | A strong impression prevails that ghe haseloped with a young man who had been paying his attentions to her for some ‘jtimc.‘; . Two young ladies named Sweet, at Elkhart, wient in the St. Joseph river to bathe, and got into the current and were swept down into the deep water below. Al brass worker in the rail-road-shops, named Jack Selkel, heard their sereams for help, and rushing down to the river threw off his pants. and tearing his shirt from his body without waiting to unbutton it, he plunged in just as they were sinking for -the lagt time, and brought them ‘both out and saved their lives. : The South .Bend Zribune says that Mr. Colfax|and family will ‘leave August -3d on their pleasure trip to Colorado and the Rocky Mountains.

Mr. Colfax very much needs the rest \thich this jaunt will bring ‘hiin, "althomgh his health has been \"\'onderfull]y preserved, considering the strain npon him made by the past’ several months of almost uninterrupted travel and speaking.

I only said, as I say yet, the lan‘iguage and tone of the letter indicated to me that Mr. Alderman wrote it. However, I could not swear that he wrote it; and, furthermore, I do not care who wrote it. I do think John did wrong in publishing the letter in the first place, and did a still greater wrong in mentioning my name, as I only gave it as my private opinion and did not wish it publicly expressed.

Within the last ten yéars the progress of digcovery in every department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an imperatlive want. : The movement of political affairs kas keptpace with the discoveries of science, and their “fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement of sociallife. Great wars and consequent -revolutions have:occurred, involvinlg national changes of peculiar moment .— The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commereial and industrial activity has been commenced. . e SRR S S

The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result'of the lapse of time, have bronght into public view, a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one -i8 curious to know the particulare. Greal-battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, ot which the details are a 8 yef preserved only in th%new_spape'rs or in the transient publications of the ‘day,. but which ought now to take their place in permaneni and authentic history. i 5 = In preparing the present edition for the press it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnigh an accurate account of the most recent digcoveries in gcience, of-every fresh producti%u in literature, and of the hewest inventionsin the J)rac,ticzpl arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical cvents. et S S

None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new. type, forming in fact a new Cyclopedia with the same plan and compass as. ils prédecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been-suggested by longer-eéxperience and enlm"lgedknow edge. . - G - : he illustrations which ate introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of tpn';tm',i»:u -effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text..
