—TIIon. John 11. Baker’s speech at Albion, last Friday evening, was not received with much satisfaction. The boys say he signally failed to “enthuse” and his m‘gumel.ngs were generally considered stale. ~John must brush up if he wishes to pass muster as the “young man eloquent.” - —Our esteemed and enterprising friend, Ol C. Forker, of Wayne township, haslong been known as the champion threshist in that “neck of the woods,” and recently he has placed upon record the following proof of his ability: He set his machine and threshed 1,177 bushels of wheat in six hours and fifty-five minutes. Who can beat

those figures. N —Wm. Latta, of the Hawpatch, returned last week from Goshen, N. Y., where he purchased a fine two-year-old blooded Hambletonian colt, sired by Rysdyk’s Hambletonian; first dam, Lady Finch by IHarry Clay; second dam by’imported Prince Duroc. The price paid for-this colt is $2.000. Mr. Latta also purchased a blooded| mare of superior value, together with a filley of magnificent beauty. All the above named fine specimens of horse flesh will be exhibited on the TFair ground to-day and to-morrow. This will afford a fine opportunity for farmers and others to see what improvements are being made by enterprising stock-growers in the careful breeding of this noble animal.

—David 8. Pence, of Ada, 0., made: his parents at this place a hasty call last Tuesday. Ile is operating in the interest of the North-western Ohio Normal School, of which he is one of the faculty, and was enroute to Indianapolis, where he is now *“astonishing the natives” in attendance at the State Fair by his wonderful feats of penmanship. - IHis modus operandi is to publicly execute upon tle back of a circular intended for gratuitous distribution a beautiful pen-drawing of a bird. - The rapidity with waich these fine specimens are executed by this handless professor of penmanship—at the rate of four per minute—is almost incredible and furpishes a practical demonstration of what may be accomplished by energy and perseverance. “Labor omnia vincit.” A specimen of his drawing may be seen at this office. —Last week we were pained to record the sad affliction of Mr. Daniel Keehn in the death of a child—one of a pair of helples babes left to his charge by the death of his wife only a few months ago. On Saturday last the sorrowing parent was doomed to gather his broken family and friends around an open grave to witness the cold clods roll upon all that was left of that precious charge. The mother and the sweey cherubs—too pure for sinful earth—mow dwell together in silent and peaceful repose. But that once happy ’heart_hstone is shrouded in mourning. = In that broken family circle there is an aching void which naught that is earthly can fill. But in the midst of their tears it may be some consolation to know they are not left to weep alone, but that a sympathetic cord runs through the whole community and many willing hands and generous hearts await an opportunity to administer to their wants,

COUNTY NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Granger pic-nic here on Thursday last was a very respectable gathering of -the people. The Lagrange and Millersburg Bands qnlivened the occasion with their choigest music.— Speeches were made by Freeman: Kelley, democratic candidate for Congress, Doctor J. Z. Gower, John Paul Jones, and others, ' Politicians and candidates were thick and plenty. Everything passed off pleasantly and harmoniously as far as we have been able to learn. : i

Both parties have now got their candidates in the field, and we must say, as we think every unprejudiced voter in the county will be forced to say with us, that the candidates on either side are a good class of men and citizens. So far as we can see, there is butlittle probability of selecting bad or inferior men from either ticket. Partizans will have no occasion to bolt their ticket on account of inferior men, and as. we have said before we now repeat, that the success of each candidate will depend mainly upon his own popularity, with thisone exception: The people have now got pretty well cut lose from political parties and rings, and it seeins that there is likely to be considerable antagonism between the eastern and the western portions of the county,there has always been more or less jealousy existing between Ligonier and Kendallville, and this has frequently been very apparent in case of elections; and this year this is likely to be manifested to a much greater extent than usual. So we again give warning to candidates to “look ahead for breakers.”

Newt Berry is very generally and favorably spoken of as a candidate for Trustee of Orange township. We feél -perfectly justified in saying that a better choice could not well be made. We ralso hear the names of Clark Watkins anp Gieo. W. Cesper and some other fellow from Brimfield mentioned in the same connection. All parties are first-class mén and we hope that a selection will be made leaving politics out of the question, and we are further of the opinion that locality makes but little difference on this question. Let the people of Orange exercise a little good sense angd seleet a good man,, e ’ Things and matters around the Lake Side louse are decidedly lonesome since the decease of the lamented proprietor, Clerk laugliton. “Rip Van Winkle,” former local,correspondent of the Wolcottville Register, has been transferred to the Ken—J dallville Sl&m?mvl. Now, ye Romanites, “stand from under.” Look out for somrething rich, racy and spicy. The Kendallville “covernment ring” is said to have been &m‘y unfortunate in the choice of their ecandidates thus far; but they should bear in x'nilnd that this is the “off year.” = ~ F. U. Miller is said to be somewhat uncomfortable in consequénce of a report that Freeman Kelley has promised the post-ofiice here to other pzufies. We understand that he talks of employing J. I. Baker as his eounsel.— This of course will ‘save him.

" A couple of our professional citizens undertook to settle a little unpleasantness by pugilistic arguments. One of ’enh complains of-the other for having called in a third pfi}'t}i, which proyed to be anold settler. We hope that the matter is amicably adjusted. Our barber has skedaddled and our meat market is ausgespielt. Verily, what is our town coming to? _ The .Hall Bros., to wit: L.R.; J.C and Albert, have all returned from the east and are at present sojourning in our town. We can’t speak as to their intention, but it looks like business of some kind.

‘The Rome City Band are to make music. for the dance at Ligonier on Friday night. This shows that the Ligonier folks appreciate good music. It is rumored that Widow Haughton thinks of abandening the Lake Side ITouse. Should this be true, the people hereabou'ts all unite in wishing that the same*may fall into the hands of Mr. Wlite Philips, of Wolcottville, he being the man who in their estimation could come nearer filling the place of the departed than any other man. . We sincerely hope that a con summation of this kind may be bro’t about. ; :

The Magnet Mills are running at full capacity, something they have never done before. ALEXIS. KENDALLVILLE: ; On Saturday morning last quite a number of Republicans left this city to attend the county ~convention at Albion. They were in fine spirits, but came home very much disheartend at the result of the nominations made.— They complain bitterly against their brethern from the western part of the county for the illiberal spirit manifested by them in nominating nearly all the candidates from that section and opposing all candidates from this portion of the county. And, judging from the result of the action of that convention, the complaint seems, not altogether unjust. This holds good also as to the democratic liberal convention. The west always manages to get the lion’s share of the offices. — Why it is thus, I can’t say, and will ‘not at this time attempt to argue this question. But if this is persisted in the future, it certainly will work harm, Last Friday afternoon, at about three o’clock our citizens were startled by the sad news that Mrs. Deible, wife ‘of John Deible of this place, while at her work fell suddenly dead. The gurprise and grief of Mr. Deible, when he was informed of the sad occurrence, can better be imagined than described. The funeral took place at the German M. E. Church on Sunday at 10 o,clock A. M. Alargeconcourse of people were in attendence, thereby showing their sympathy, and the esteem in which the departed and her bereaved huspand are held in this community.— Mrs. Deible’ was 82 years of age and leaves four children with her husband. Heart disease was the cause of her death. < - Last Monday evening while the Hook & Ladder Company were practis-

ing Mr. John Miller fell from aladder, I understand, some eighteen feet, and broke his right arm at the wrist. He also received some internal injuries, but to what extent I have not learned.

Tuesday afternoon Barany Lehr’s horses became frightened at something and ran pell-mell through Main Street, from the north. A boy in charge of the team arrived safely in front of Jake Rheyer’s store. Nobody hart. : :

. That suit against Nancy Mains, for keeping a house.of ill-fame, came to a conclusion before our mayor on Thursday night of last week, after a continuation of four days. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty, and the fine was assessed at- $3O, the full extent of the ordinance. The total cost I understand sums up to $182.25. Mr. Wade, of LaGrange, attorney for Mrs. Mains, on Friday morning drew up a bond for the purpose of appealing the case to the Circuit Court, and it is rumored that Hi. Iddings has signed the bond for her. How isthat for Hi? Was J. C. Stewart one of the Commissioners who settled with Lewis Iddings? is a question that has been asked for several days on our streets. It is answered in the affirmative by Republicans, and in the negative by Democrats. Knowing that Mr. Stewart had not then been elected to said oflice, your correspondent almost bet a box of cigars with a Republican of this place,when the latter claimed that Mzr. S. held the office by appointment. Will you, Mr. Editor, please enlighten us on the subject; or will Mr. Stewart do so for himself ?

A nominating caucus was held at the office of C. G. Aichele, last Saturday evening, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for township officers. The names of J.C. Kerr and J. W. Learned were named for Trustee. The former was nominated on the second ballot, he having received 63 votes and his competitor 41. I understand Mr. Learned is very much dissatisfied at the result and intends' to accept a nomination from the Republicans or run on an independent ticket. ILet him run. Stephen Wildman, Esq., H. Wakeman and Thomas Weston were nominated for justices of the peace. ‘ VINDEX. e ¢ : Columbia City Items. A man by .the name of Sam. Smith, living near this place, was thrown from a horse and killed. But I have not learned the particulars. e The funeral sermon. of O. J. Dempsey (the man who was Kkilled by the cars a few weeks ago) was preached in the Baptist clu,u‘ch'p'umlu.y, afternoon by the Rev. A.J. ])miglns." Dr. J. R. Baker, formerly ‘connected with the BANNER oflice, is now in our midst and will probably’ remain until after the election. Ie is working for the interest of the so-called People'’s movement. ) ;

The political epidemic is raging here extensively. . The victim is thken with a pain in the upper region of the brain, producing a feeling for slandering some of his best friends,-just because they are opposed to his ideas of what is just and right. This malady continues until everything his opposérs have ever done (especially evil) is brought before the public, in print or otherwise. After which he drops into a state of lethargy and dies a political death, which must come sooner or lafer. “Oh Lord, how long,” &c. . The fl'oof of the new Lutheran church is being put on. It is variegated with dark and light slate and 'is put on in diamonds, which gives it a fine appearance. : =l

We had a very heavy rain last Saturday afternoon. But it was of short duration. W :

Our summer has flown. TLook out for Jack. i :

. Our main streets have been graveled, which makes them solid and nice. . The breach of promise case in court week before last, between Rev. John Rider and Miss N. Wilcox, creates quite a sensation. It resulted in favor of the plaintiff to the tune of $l,500. Don’t trifle with a woman’s “feelings,” or you may have to pay for it ’ S. U. Reror.

HoN. Joun H. BAKER spoke to a small crowd in front of the Ligonier House last Thursday evening. His remarks were exceedingly brief and plainly. indicated that the gentleman was not heartily enlisted in the cause he is obliged to defend. e dwelt principally on the finance question and the cheap transportation hobby, reiterating substantially what Morton argued at Terre Haute. .On the civil rights bill Mr. Baker declared himself opposed to its more obnpxious features, but insisted that the negroes shall enjoy all the rights to which they are entitled—a proposition to which nobody objects. He also favored the repeal of the monopoly features of the national banking law. We are of opinion that if Mr. Baker were permitted to stand upon the democraticliberal platform adopted at Kendallville, he could and would make @ much better speech than he has thus far delivered. ; ?

THE MOST ABSURD resolution we have yet seefi* or heard of anywhere is that adopted by the -Noble county Republicans in their convention last Saturday. They resolved in favor of such a reduction of the salaries of all officers, from the President down, as “shall conform to the wages of the laboring classes and the prices of the produce raised by the farmers.” To effect this would require Congress to keep in constant session and the appointment of innumerable committees all over the United States to adjust and re-adjust salaries to suit the fluctuations of the market and the diversity of prices paid for labor, which may be ocgasi'oned by dyouths, the grasshopper plague, panics, strikes, ete., etc, ‘ T 4 Tl e I wouLD respectfully call the special attention of all those who are in.need of Crockery, Glassware, etc., to the fact that I have just received one of thé largest stocks everbrought‘t;%{lis ‘market. Also, a great many fahcy articles, all of which will be sold\at ruinous prices. - J, DECKER, g ' ; : / ,

C,, Sept. 21.—The Administration have, after six years, of trialy discovered that their officeholders in the South are a gang of rascals, and there is a good deal of talk in the Cabinet of a radical change among them, and the appointment of a new set altogether. So far it isall talk and no cider. Nothing has been done to put the administration of law in the Southern States in honest hands, and the only object of these promises just now is to conciliate and finally deceive the honest sentiment of the country. Attorney-General Williams is reported as standing stoutly for these Carpet-bag officials. Secretary Fish is said to be very bitter against them. Gt There is algo a good deal of talk in Republican circles about a compromise in Lousiana between the Kellogg and McEnery governments. It is not believed that these reports have any foundation. The object of putting them out is to relieve the Administration from the odium of perpetuating a government of brigands in office, which is feared may hurt the Republicans in the fall elections.
