iHE NOBLE COUNTY TREAR- . = UI}Y. EXAMINATION OF« THE FINANCIAL RECORD BY DR. ELLIS. s TREASUREB MENDENHALL’S DEFALCATION, $3,180.52. .. ° To the Board of Commissioners of Noble County, Indiana :—The undersigned, having made an examination of the records of the Auditor and Treasurer of the county, as recorded or filed in the Auditor’s office, commencing with the term of oflice of. Isaac Mendenhall, Treasurer, finds the following facts to exist, to wit: =~ ' His first settlement made in June, 1868, is found to be correct, 'the report made by the Auditor and Treasurer corresponding exactly with the settlement sheet of delinquent taxes collected in October, 1867, and the collections on the duplicate as reported on settlement sheet of May, 186 S. These settlement sheets of each year were carefully compared with the settlements made jflTy the Anuditor Emd Treasurer at the June terms of each year, as recorded in the Auditor’s office. Atthe June settlement, 1869, the Treasurer overcharged himself with the following sums, for which he is entitled to credit, to wit: i County Reventie: . ... ... ... % 120 Roagdtax. .00 aaiaie ... 18038 Tewnship tag.... oo 0... ... 53,83 Special Behiogl tax .. .0 200748 Township tuition tax. .. <. ... 22.74 Dogtax: . i din i ... .. _'_‘:).:j:()q Total ooy i SiBB 58 At the June settlement, 1870, the Treasurer accounted for less than the amount due from him the following sums, to wit: - ' Roadtax ... o 0 @ o BBIRT6 Townshiptundee @ . ... .. 5396 Special School fund =~ ... ... 685 Township tuition tax........ 2268 Do taxs . il oL L 230800

BuEls, Albion, Sept. 22, 1874. i T A GooD DEAL of nonsense is being uttered this fall zlbontédiscriminating. against_candidates on account of territorial location,and particularly about, Kendallville voting against Ligenier, and vice versa. We were inhopes that no such balderdash would be introduced in this:.campaign. What difference can it make to a sensible voter whether a candidate resides at Kendallville, ligonier, Albion or Avilla? Competency and. honesty are proper points to be considered, and even personal intimacy may justly be taken into account; but the idea of voting for or against a man becausé he lives in this or that sectiom, is the veriest nonsense and is calculated to engender @ spirit that must sooner, or later result injuriously to all concerned.

AUDITOR STEWART has proved himself a faithful guardian of the public trust. Ile has had the independence, the pluck, the industry, to look up the records of the county by which the tax-payers gain nearly $ll,OOO. Will you endorse or eondemn him for protecting the people’s interests ?

NO ARRANGEMENTS have as yet been made by the committee designated by Messrs. Kelley and-Baker for the proposed joint discussion. It is alleged that Baker absolutely does not desire to meet Kelley on the stump.

COUNTY NEWS AND GOSSIP. i TN, e e The Republicans of Orange township met in convention on Saturday evening Jast, and nominated Isaac N. Berry . for Trustee, and L. B. Moore, Jos. Greenfield, and a fellow at Brimfield, (whose name we omitted to obtain), for Constables. The meeting “was held in the Baptist Church and was very generally attemded. The nominees, we beliéve, givé general satisfaction to all parties; and there will probably be no other township ticket in the field. A little sharp-shooting took place between Dr. J. Z. Gower and Elder Crum, but after the smoke of battle cleared away it was ascer‘tained that nobody was hurt. Candidates are now very busify engaged in pressing their claims to a speedy termination. With Kendallville and Ligonier the fizht seems to be more of a sectional than that of a political nature. Should this spirit continue, Ligonier will lose her Clerk and Commissioner, or else Kendallville will lose her Cox. This spirit of sce‘tionalism is felt very severely in other localities. Verily, there is no telling who will succeed' until after the elecfion. | : Some of our citizens paid Ligonier a pleasant visit on Sunday last, and report as having had a very plousm:f and agreeable time. It is szmlvby those who. were in attendance from here at the County Fair that the crowd was quite respectably large, but the exhibition™ was a little thin. The whole concern is to b reorganized and henceforth be under the management of a joint stock company. v I, U. Miller, the enterprising gentleman who now runs the post office, express office, dry goods, grocery. and géneral variety store, has last of all added to his variety a meat market, where he is determined to keep at all reasonable hours a choice variety of fresh meats. If you want to make yourselves and your families happy, don’t- fail to walk into I'. U.s dark back room and get some nice meats for family use. s 3

Mrs. Dr. J. Z. Gower has returned from an extended visit with her relatives in Ohio, and, npw the disconsolate Doctor is again iade happy. Peaches have been quite plenty in this market, and have been selling at very reasonable figures, but potatoes are yet doggedly scarce and very high. I'rom the bustle around the store of Mr. Cobb one would gctually suppose that there is business there. Mr. C. has determined to make our little sisters, \\Volcbttville and Brimfield, squet. Look out for his advertisement shortly. The flouring mills of Berry & Andrews are now I‘llllli§llg day and night and are doing a large shipping business. ; ' The Magnet Woolen Mills have now determirnied to continue running thro’ the winter, which will have a tendency to make our city more lively, and to make the Romanites joyful.

Railroad, was here on Thursday last looking after the interest of the road in regard to a site for a passenger depot, warehouse, elevator, &c., which he assures us will be erected immediately if the citizens will donate the five acres of groqind selected for that purpose. They have started a - subscription list and widl soon have the necessary amount raised with which to buy the ground. The telegraph men will be here this week stretching the wire. | -

Mr. John Mayfield, the butcher, came very near getting;‘butchered himself the other evening by a young lady who, was shooting at an iron-hooped barrel with arevolver. The ball, striking the hoop and glancing, hit him behind the ear, inflicting a slight wound. Hez. Mayfiéld is building.a saw and planing mill near the depot, and will stock it with first-class machinery. A thing much needed in this community. Jacob Baker is daily selling lots, and new buildings are springing up on all sides. v Lon.

CHARLEY ELDRIDGE, who for many years was the only democratic representative in Congress from Wisconsin, sought a re-nomination at the hands of his political associates. ©° Though an able man, he has of late years become quite odious by reason of the fact that he voted for the salary grab and became identified with certain corrupt combinations at Washington. Alive to the importance of maintaining an honorable record, the Democrats of every county in the District voted against his re-nomination and we now have the pleasure of announcing that he has been compelled to withdraw. We want to see every democratic salary grabber and corruptionist disposed of in precisely the same manner. ; :

Henry Ward Beecher has at various times insured his.life for large sums of money. In making applications for this insurance,. he has always stated that he was perfectly healthy, In his statement to the committee appointed to investigate the scandal matter, he says that he has foryears been in possessionfi?a trouble liable to eventuate in paralysis, and that the reason he has so often alluded to the event of his sx}dden death is that he has felt himself at death’s door so often for a long time. The insurance companies have made a careful note of this statement of his, and propose to govern themselves accordingly. The publishers of “The Life of Christ” insured Beecher’s life for a large suin of -money, to protect - themselves against loss, should he die before the completion of his work. The insurance 'companies igsuing the policies have expresged a determination to contest the payment of the losses in such event, on the ground of Mr. Beecher’s statements to the committee. If true, as he swears them to be, they contradict those made by him when applying for ingurance, .

; Elkhart County. . The Goshen jail birds are very par‘ticular about the rules of behavior at tables, as may be inferred from the following account of a little discussion given by the Democrat: On Friday night a week ago a bloody fight occurred in our jail between John Kane, a man fiffy years of a(g:, and weighing 225 pounds, and Mr, George Wilson, a young man of about 25. While partaking of their'evening meal, Wilson took up a piece of meat and commenced dividing it with his fingers. . This was a piece of ‘etj&uettg.that. did not come up with Mr. Kane’s ideas,and he struck Wilson a severe blow over the mouth. Then aregular pitched battle ensued, in which both parties were severely pummeled and scratched.— Finally Mr. Kane'’s pants slipped down, and his legs getting entangled, he fell heavily to the floor, his head striking some sharp substance, inflicting a severe gash., His opponent now had the inside track, and after exercising a few minutes with his fists and heels the battle was ended. 'The men are both rather dangerous characters, and Deputy Sheriff Miles thought he would let them fight it ont, as he .did not feel I}Ki]ke interfering, after having been himself attacked only a short time ago by Wilson and another prisoner and severely handled, and only by a'mere accident escaped with his life. Kane served four years in the State prison at Michigan City for beating the sheriff at an@'lte. On Thursday night Louis B. Wilklow, .a brakeman on, the L. s, & M. S. I';lih'ozid, walked into the telegraph office at Elkhart and shot the superintendent, S. P.: Wilcox, whether fatally or not is not ascertained. .The South Bend Z'7ibune understands the cause to be jealousy, and as it appears, @ bad case of misapprehension, It says: The origin of the difficulty was Wilklow’s wife leaving him, which he ascribed to Wilcoxs = To this Wilcox says that the lady in question is an utter stranger to him, and that he doesn’t even know her by sight.— Wilklow and his wife lived in a house belonging to Wilcox, but the latter says e has never visited the premises since their occupation of them, the rent being always brought to his office. Wilklow was arrested and is in jail. : ‘ Last Sunday a week ago, a heartrending accident oceurred at Locke, Elkhart county. A little daughter of Absalom Rickart was put to sleep on a bed, and the parents went to call upon d neighbor. The child awoke, and reaching several matches on the stand, set the bed on fire. When the parents returned the bed was in flames, and the child found burned to a crisp in the kitchen, whither she had erawled in search of her mother. The house was saved. B .

Noah Anderson,® for forty years a resident of Elkhart county, died last Tuesday at his residence, 4 miles west of Goshen, aged about 70 years.

—Within the last two or three weeks we hear..se\'eral citizens complaining that pickets have mysteriously disappeared from their fences. We presume this is done by thoughtless boys who may not know that® there is an ordinance against the willful destruction of property. It might be an advantage to some of the boys whe go prowling about our streets of mnights to spend an evening in reading the town ordinances and see whether they could stand the expense of a convietion of some of their depredations. s - —At the Ft. Wayne Fair Dr. C. Palmiter’s bay stallion, “Peter 11. Baker,” trotted for and won the first/purse of s#3oo for five-year-olds; on mile heats, best two in three, in harness.

Carr & Co. at the Fair last Thursday and, after dispatching five plates of beef and potatoes and drinking six cups of coffee, reclaimed a portion of his bill (85¢) on the ground that he did not get the worth of his money, certainly had less honorthan appetite and more “cheek” than coin. o . :
