COUNTY NEWS AND GOSSIP. i KLI/VD;EI;'II:LE At The democratic-liberal mass' convention came off according to programme on the;9th inst. at this place, except as tothe “mass,” who neglected to put in an appearance. Some disappointment was felt immediately after the result of the nomination was known, but, since the smoke of battle has cleared away, it is generally conceded that under presént circumstances the convention did a good thing in nominating Freeman' Kelley. It is argued that the laboring masses and particularly the farmers and grangers now have a chance te show their sincerity of purpose by electing Free Kelley to Congress.. & @

The democratic-liberal ticket nominated at Albion on Saturday last gives general satisfaction and is considered a strong ticket which ought. to be elected by a handsome majority.— Some of the defeated aspirants to office feel a little sore,but they ought to console themselves with the thought that the feeling seemed to have been stich in the convention, that every candidate would have been placed on the ' ticket, had there bheen offices enough in the gift of those present. Mr. W. W. Curry, candidate on ‘the republican ticket for Secretary of State, was advertised to speak here on Thursday evening of last week, but it seems our republican friends had no desire to be enlightened by him in regard to their duty, as nobody put in an appearance. In, addition to this, I am informed Mr. Curry had the misfortune of receiving the cold shoulder from a prominent Republican of this place, at an introduction. The latter, on hearing the name of Mr. Gurry announced, faced about and walked off without speaking to him, The alarm of fire was given at about 9 o’clock on Monday evening last, when the residence of George Aichele was discovered to be on fire. The night being calm and people*promptly on hand, the flames were soon extinguished without doing much damage. The fire originated by sparks from the chimney lodging on the roof. The shingles being very dry they were soon ablaze, and had it been at a later hour of the night, wlien ‘people are generally in bed, it is doubtful whether the building would have been saved. - That trial instituted by Wm. B. McConnell against a certain house ofill | fame in this city, is now in progress before the Mayor here. Sam, of the New Era, is sadly mistaken when he asserts in his last issue that T will ecall him “hateful” and “malicious.” Not at all, Sam; for that would be doing you injustice, as' I think your action of late towards Mr. Stoll has only been actuated by jealousy, and I can’t portray the course you have pursued any better than was done by a ¢ertain D_gn?ocrnt on our streets one day last week. The latter was asked by a Republican what he thought of the New Ey«and Sam’s action generally in not having the dem-ocratic-liberal State ticket published in his paper, when he said: “Well, you see, Sam kyows very well that his paper can’t ;e without party patronage, and as hé doesn’t know just yet which side will win at the coming election, he “sorter” carries water on Dboth shoulders—-acting as the champion defender of the people’s ’i‘z'jht.s towards his fellow Democrats and as publisher of an independent newspaper towards Republicans.” Hic Rhodes, hic Salda. Now I hope you will not call me “savage” any more, for I thinkif you knew me, you would call me a very gentle fellow. Now, Mr. Stoll, it is for you to explain why the State ticket nominated on the 15th of July was not in your paper of last week. [Time enough. -We deferred the “hoisting” until all the nominations were completed.~—Ed:) 2 ! : John Gappinger and Joseph Berhalter have been to Ohio for the purpose of selecting and buying a new hearse. They claim to have purcliased one that will be a credit to.this city. John Weston is working very industriously for his nomination as Representative. There is a rumor on our streets to-day that an effort will be made in the republican convention next Saturday to nominate Mr. F. Prickett, of Albion,for Representative. Democrats and Liberals of Wayne township will bear in mind that a caucus will be held in Kendallville on Saturday, the 19th inst., to nominate township officers. Let all who can, attend. . VINDEX. . ' AVILLA. - The Commissioners of this county at their late session, having been presented with a petition to remove the election place in this township from Lisbon to Avilla, decided that they }had no jurisdiction in that case and ‘returned -the petition. A remonstrance was also presented. In the -acts of 1869, section 3 of the3lst chapter, the township trustee has the right to designate the place for holding the elections of such township. Our Trustee has, therefore, notified the County Clerk, and he the Sheriff, that the Allen township elections will hereafter be held in the town of Avilla. Sothe people may just as well govern themselves accordingly. Notices of this order will be put up at every schoolhouse in the township.

illuminations. Squads of young people would surround the haunted building and become frightened at the visdble light. Finally one fellow' was caught having a dark lantern in his possession. Another night a fellow was caught igniting | matches and throwing them down| stairs to represent flashes of lightning. = Some are convin}ced that it was a gen}line spook, Lut like all other spook stories, somebody was trying to have a little sport. It is proposed to arrest the guilty parties for disturbing the public peace. A Catholic pic-nic will be held in TFox’s grove, one mile north of town, on Wednesday, September 23, the proceeds of which are to he applied upon

Comxfiunicated. : Female Suffrage. - - The male members of “Wawaka Lycewm” challenged the “Springfield I?'ebating Club” to discuss the following question: “Should the women of the United States be permitted to exercise the right of suffrage ?” Wawaka the affermative, Wawaka gained the discussion, two to one. Springfield not being satisfied, challenged Wawaka to discuss the same at Wawaka Sept. 11th, the speakers on the aflirmative being Wm. Stuff, C. Curry and W. J. Hoffman; on the negative, J. Rendall, J. A. Zimmerman and J. Frick. Mr. Stuff showed very clearly that they had the right both by the constitution of the United State and by reason. ‘Rendall admitted that the question gave them the right, and then tried to prove that they should not “be permitted to exercise the right” because they did not have it. ~ ° 3 ~The judges were Joe Cox, D. Trowl and John Lumm. The decision was given in favor of the affirmative two to one. The judges wished till Monday morning to give the deeision. A motion was made that a report of the proceedings’ should be sent to the DBANNER for publication. : . » .

Old Dan Witmer, of Maryland, said a good thing that will bear repetition : “Senator Morton had boasteéd that the Republican party had always readily appointed committees to investigate any fraud that was charged. That is true, but no one has ever been convicted by the committees.

Excitement in Bristol. Three little girls created a deal of excitement in and about Bristol last week by a litte sport. One of them, aged about 8, dressed in boy’s clothes and: the three appeared in the edge of some woods opposite the house of an Irish woman named Donahue, and asked for something to eat. In reply to questions they stated that they had been' deserted by their family who were moving west, and that they were Hving as best they could in the woods. The old lady gave them some food, and they . disappeared. The next day two of:them appeared again and asked for something to eat. They said the absence of the youngest was occasioned by the fact that slie laid down to sleep under a bridge and they could not waken her. The Irish woman repeated this story and the people were excited. The news reached the town and 'arrangements were made for instituting ‘a search for the ichildren, who had taken pains not to be approached too closely. ' Three wagon loads of men left Bristol Wednesday morning and drove to the place, about 3 miles north of town, and there found a number of persons already hunting for the children. After searching in vain for some time the mother of two of the little girls happened to hear them talking over the joke and she compelled them to tell the whole story. The girls belong to two families, and the edest was only 11 years of age., The game was pretty well played for such little chicks, and they succeeded in raising a good deal of excitement among the people. Of course they were properly dealt with by their parents.—Elkhart Review. : :

THE best answer that could possibly be made to the speeches of both Morton and Voorhees at Terre laute has been furnished by the DemocraticLiberals of Noble county, Ind., who lately met and promulgated a set of principles, accompanied by a call for a convention, to be held on the 12th of September. They propose to kick over the repudiation platform entirely, and have adopted resolutions in favor of gold and silver as the basis of the currency of the country; the speedy resumption of specie payments, and the payment of all national mdebtedness in the money recognized by the civilized world; a tariff for revenue only; individugl liberty, and the rigid restriction of the government, both State and national, by excluding all executive and legislative intermeddling with the affairs of society, whereby monopolies are fostered, privileged classes aggrandized, and individual freedom unnecessarily and oppressively restrained.
