Hall, of Wolcottville, preached his first street sermon in our town on Sunday last to a good-sized congregation. He occupied the croguet ground of Mr. John Biglér.

When yousee a fellow or a gal with a purple ring around their mouth and their lips highly colored, you may take it for granted that they have just been to huckleberries. ‘ The editor of the Wolcottville Register and family made our town a very pleasant visit oneday last week. They made the Magnet Mills" a pleasant call and enjoyed the pleasures of the day, boat-riding, &ec., &c. Call frequently, Jimmy; it will be “bully” for your health. ‘Whortleberry harvest is still raging. The-crop is bountiful and the luxurious fruit selling at 10 cents per quart. Rip Van Winkle’s local contributions to.the Wolcottville Register makes that little sheet very interest/ing to the Romanites. ITope he may have the gift of continuance. 1 The “Magnet Mills”———well, we hardly know what to say about that institution. It being the principal establishment of the place, our readers of course expect to hear from it frequently. We have always made it a rule in speaking of institutions of this kind to speak in praise or keep silent. This is our excuse.for our actions in the past and will govern us in the future. : The “Tilton-Beecher” scandal'is the “all absorbing topic in Rome., As néar as we have been able to learn, stock ranges about as follows: Tilton 90, Mrs. Tilton 173§, Beecher 55, Woodhull 40, and still raising; 'Chicago T'imes 105, Doctor Dacon and Irank Moulton, no sale. , © Politics are played. Occasionally we see a candidate sneaking around who has cheek enough to ask a fellow for a vote, but they are very scarce.— They begin to find that mode is played. The office must now seek the man. Any man who has enough cheek to travel and selicit'men to vote for him might as well hang his instrument on the willow and throw up the sponge, for his doom is sealed. The people have taken the matter in hands, and prior to the October election will be heard from in tomnes of thunder. We will patiently await for Xavier’s'counsel to plan their campaign and marshall their troops, after which the people wiil charge, flank them on all sides and submerge them in the center. The flouring mill of Berry and Andrews is again at work. New timbers’ have been added to the building, and its new top is now towering to the sky. Great improvements have been made upon this structure in an incredible short period of time. They will soon be prepared to buy all wheat offered in this market. - “J. C.

A The Kendallville Standard of last week made its appearance withouf a solitary local contribution; even the indomitable “Squire” failed to put in an appearance. IHow noticeable and striking the contrast between the appearance of that paper now and the time when it was filled with locals from all points of the compass. A “leetle” irregularity in our mail is again beginning to occur. We will not seriously complain yet; but if continued we will be heard from. The past has fully demonstrated the fact ‘that itis fully in the power of the mail agent to give us our regular mails, and if through carelessness we do not receive them, we will of course speak ‘ouf.

We are in receipt of many communications, both written and verbal, congratulatory and inquiring coricerning the peoples movement. We will say again that we are out of politics; we are entirely loose; we will use our i best endeavors to get others out of politics, especially those ring-masters who have heretofore been ruling as with a rod of iron and leading the country to destruction. We are in favor of choosing our candidates upon their merits, without any. platform or guarantee, save an unsullied record in. the past and good standing in the present. Platforms are generally con‘ceived in hyprocrisy and brought forth only tobe trampled in the dust and buried in disrespect. There are many ‘very good men for whom we would ‘delight to cast our vote; men who have heretofore been strong partisans; men who have acted.from what they conceive and believe to be their duty to their God, their country, and themselves. These men are confined to np particular party, bubt have ibeen members of all original parties. We now propose to have the people select these men, no matter what they may have been, so that they are right now. Let the people sele¢t the men, and they will be likely to be good ones, for @UF@MW make mistakes. ‘Let those candidates enter the fleld and their offices with no pledge but ‘good judgment and moral standing, free to act according to the dictates of their own consciences, and all will be pighe,. =~

Rumor has it that Judge Clapp will probably be the nominee of the republican convention at Kendallville for

congress, and that Hon. John H. Baker, of Goshen, wilF be the peoplels man against him. We ho&éﬁm‘é% things. Thesegre both good men an both are fully entitled to the confidence of ‘the peopfe when untrammelled by platforms and party rings. But if the Judge takes the field with all those old political dead beats, such as Iddings & Co., hanging to his skiilts,, he is a gone gosling, and J. H. Baker or any other good man, untrammelled by party platforms, will march triumphantly to victory and to congress almost uninterruptedly. ' The dance at the Phillips House in Wolcottville on ‘Friday evening last was said #o have been a very enjoyable affair. Everything passed off harmoniously with a few “slight variations.” Although we were unable to} attend, we felt sure that a dance at the Phillips House could’nt fail to be a suceess. ALEXIS.

It was his report at Washington that saved Myers, and which all know' is what is called a white-wash. - A meeting at Fort Wayne, on the part of Myers, Iddings and Weston with .Col. Bringhurst, some four days after he was here, fixed the matter up, and as an equivalent they promised .to aid the Colonel in his efforts to obtain'a nomination for Congress. Very soon after this Myers through the Standard announced the name of Col. Bringhurst as a candidate for Congress in-thedio-gansport district, and things looked al]"i'ight for the white-washer. The covention came off a few days since ‘but résulted in Mr. Bringhurst’s. failure: That official told Senator Bunyan at Logansport that: he had positive evidenee of Myers’ guilt, and if his report had been in accordance with such faects I think he would have fared: much better before that eonvention.: The conspiracy did him harm.

WAWAKA. j “Last Friday évening at nine o’¢loek when our little town was hushed in stillness the cry of “Fire!” was echoed and re-echoed over town, and, upon looking out, how terrible was the scene! Large columns of black smoke, alternating with bright flashes, were bursting forth from the large flouring, mill of Ellis & Mummert. In an instant, as it weré, the hand-cars were running for water and a hundred wil-ling-hands were at work, but all to no effect. The fire fiend stalked on and gained the victory. As the fire increased in strength a fearful shower of burning coals commenced falling upon the dwellings of M. M. Dodge, Thompson and Shoemaker, and they seemed in immihent danger, but by the exertions of men upon the roofs they were saved. Had it not been for one of heaven’s choicest blessings, a shower of rain in the afternoon, no -.doubt the calamity would have been threefold. Dr. Ellis received a telegram from- Brimfield and arrived here this morning to witness his loss. The true origin of the fire is not known. 'Mr. Mummert and family have the sympathy of many friends in their loss,.\g‘hich amounted, it is said to about twelve thousand dollars, There Wwas 10 insurance.

PROGRESS. July 28th, 1874. : i NOBLESVILLE. . The barn of James Cunningham, of Green township, was destroyed by fire last Thursday, with all its contents, consisting of two hundred bushels of old wheat and all of his new, about fifteen tons of hay, two horses, harness, the reaping attachment of a combined reaper and mower, one twohorse wagon, a grain drill, wind-mill, and numerous other articles. One of the horses which was burned belonged to William Guff. One of Mr. Cunningham’s horses broke its haltér and escaped without serious injury. This sad calamity is supposed to have been caused by Mr. C. emptying the ashes from his pip,e (which contained some fire) near the barn.

AVILLA: : The community has been rather excited during the past week, over the preliminary examination of a person accused of having stolen wool,disposed of the same and pocketed the proceeds originating/therefrom. The accused is Henry Favinger, of Green township, and ,the accuser Ephraim Foster, of Jefferson, a merchant. Mr. Foster alleges, according to the affidavit, that he possessed and. had purchased of two different pzu‘ti,es' 160 pounds of 'lwci)o], and. kept the same in a box in his'barn. ' About a week ago his hired man inquiried whether he (Foster) had disposed of the wool, as all but one fleece was missing. On proceeding to the place Mr. Foster found the story correct—that all but one fleece of wool had been stolen. He proceeded to Avilla and Kendallville to inform the wool-buyers to look out for stolen wool. On proceeding to Ft. Wayne he inquired at a woollen factory owned by, a Mr. Henderson, where he found and . identified his wool. Mr. Fosfer, having been informed that Henry Favinger and an accomplice had been to Ft. Wayne, on Wednesday last, engaged the service of Mr. P. A. Randall to 1 prosecute the case and recover the property. - Favinger was arrested last | Saturday afternoon and had a preliminary examination before Isaac Neff, Justice of the Peace in Swan township, but not having tounsel the examinption was put off until Monday at 10 o’clock A. M., the accused securing the sérvices of Mr. Pricket, of Albion, A large crowd assembled to witness the .examination. - Mr. Pricket’s first effort was to quash the indictment on account of invalidity of afidavit, but the court believing that it was capable of issuing a .valid ‘afidavit, over ruled the motion, and witnesses on bpthjfaidgs* were examined. The evidence for the prosecution was sostrong as to convince the court that it was proper’to bind the accused over to the next session of the Noble Circuit Court, and fixed bail b §2,000 for the accused’s appearance. The value of the stolen property is not so great, only

s#72, but the people in Swan, Green and Jefferson have been subjected to a i'great many robberies of late and are determined that the strong arm of justice shall reach those who violate one of God’s commandments. Mr. Favinger, the accused, is a man of considerable means, possessing 160 acres of land, all paid for, and is, as undoubtedly all are well aware, a candidate on the Anti-Masonic or reform county ticket, he being himself a reformer, and ag there is no opposition as yet he will be elected without doubt, providing somebody votes for him. - We watched with interest the proceedings of the Democratic State convention and eagerly read the platform, -but are dissatisfied with that part referring to our finances. If Dan Vaeorhrees imagines that he speaks for the entire Democracy of Indiana when he .inserts more currency in the platform, ‘he is entirely mistaken, as he may count us eut. ,We always supported the theory of hard money being the only curreney that defrauds no man. At last there is a prospect for a good depot building on the G. R. & I R.R. Mr. A. A.Chapin, the company’s lawyer, has been here and in consultation with Messrs. Baum, Walter & Co., through whose land this road runs, and for which the company has no title as yet, in regard to finding a suitable site for building and also in adjusting the right of way claim. S ER The B. P. & C. R. R. Co. are going to put in the crossing over the G.R. &L. R. R. next week.

_ APPLETON’S - AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA. ' New Revised Edition. i Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every subject. 'Printed from necw type, and il- - lustrated with Several Thonsand En- - ~_ pgravings and Maps. - Tue work originally published under the title of Tur NEW AMERIOAN CYOLOPEDIA was completed in 1863, since which time the wide circulation which it hag attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal develo?ments which have taken place in every branch of science, ]itex_‘aturr. and art, have induced the editors and publishers to eubmit 1t to an exact and thorough revision, and to issue a new edition entitled Tur AMERIOAN CYOLOPADIA. 5 i Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an imperative want, — The movement of political affairs hag/kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and -ti‘xe convenience and refinement ofgociallife. Great wars and consequent revolutions have occurred, involving 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 commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. x Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have been made by the indefatigable explor¢is of Africa. - ;

The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s mounth, and of whose lives every one is curioug to know the particuiare. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, ot which the detalil'l_s are ag yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place'in permanént and aunthentic history. = . In preparing the present edition for ihe press it has daccordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to_furnieh an aceurate account of the most recent giscoveries in science, Qf every fresh. production in literature, and of the newest inventionsin the practicdl artg, as well 48 to give a snc¢inct and original record of the progress of political and historical cvents. - : i@ The work has been begnn after lopg and'care. ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample reso‘tt;ces for carrying it onto a succeseﬁﬂ termination, .

+None of the original stereotype plates have been luged, but every page has been printed. on new ‘type, forming in fact a new Cyclopsedia with the same plan and compass as its predeeessor, but witha far-greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. s The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture, and art, as ' well as the various pro--cestes of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than embell_is%ment, no'pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is. enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclop®dia, and worthy of ite high character. . ‘This work 1s sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will bé completed in sixteen ilarge octayo volumes, each containing about }:’gm wpa-ges. fully illustrated with several thonsand Wood Engravings, and with numerous coloréd Lithographic Maps. i .
