Address Charles J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. —The following item, which we find in last week’'s Auburn Courier, will be read with interest and pleasure by many of our readers in this localitv: “We have neglected to mention a little domestic episode, a nine pounder| that occurred at Waterloo the other week. Supt. Bamns has been advanced from the primary class to a higher sphere where everything is in -zood working order. Indoing this he assumes a responsibility he neyer knew before. It’s a little girl of the

female persuasion,and comes to relieye i its parentage from an unmerited - charge. We take it back.” : —As Marshal Braden will soon call ; upon the tax-payers of Ligonier for corporation taxes, the following item - in last week’s Waterloo.

RENDAIIVITLE. .- Since the snow has left us the lively appearance of our streets has vanished as if by magic, and everything looks again as usual. . o The Methodist Fair closed last Saturday. Their new church bore quite a-gaudy appearance during the continuance of the same, and from what I can learn ‘it' was a perfect success, financially at least. - :

o Last week a party of some fifteen or sixteen of our young folks, of both sexes, concluded to have an old-fash-‘ioned sleigh ride. ~And an old-fash-ioned one it was, with a vengeance. “About four miles east of this city the sled was upset and the® whole party landed in a mud puddle, in which ‘there was about two «feet of water. Fortunately, né one was hurt and the accident had no other effect that to put a damper on their enthusiasm for a sleigh ride and th}el soiling of clothing generally. The driver came ‘to the conclusion that the maxim “Ne sutor supra-crepidum,” ought not to Dbe disregarded. . On Monday afterncon, while the proprietor of the Central llqt(elx was absent at the depot attending the express traixf’going west, his clerk, a young man twenty-three years of age, named Benjamin Rose, went to the private room of the landlord and took his overcoat and one hundred dollars in money from a bureau drawer and started for the Grand Rapids crossing, where he boarded the western-bound train. ‘The ]An'o'prietor, on lem'ning the facts, started on the next train (a freight) in pursuit of him. It appears the young man went as far as Ligonier, and there took a livery rig for Gtoshen, as he was seen in -the latter place at about 9 o'clock on Monday night, Whether the 1‘)1‘()])1'iotor,oﬂ said house will be successful in.

The angel of death again made his i appearance at the house of Mr. Peter Schwartz. Another little son died of croup on Monday morning. The bereaved parents have the svmpathy of the entire community. ' . In my last week's correspondence, in speaking -of Adam Schmidt having his leg broken on Tuesday, while in the act of putting a barrel of cider in ‘ the cellar, you made me say “Sunday.” ‘ While it is not necessary for those who are acquainted with Mr. S. to ‘make this correction, as they know he would not do anything of the kind on | that day, we make it for such 4s perchance read the paragraph and thought “Served. him right; he had no busi] ness to transgress the Sabbath!” ‘ ~ Bill Grol, ’lnw\ing purchased the meat maket opposite llié grocery store, is going into the 111:1111115.;1(-t1nfe of sansage by the wholesale.- Bill is happy once more, since he lias added another specimen of the feathered tribe to his collection of natural curiosities. It is a golden pheasant of the most beautiful plumage. TIIQ bird was’ stuffed by a gentleman of I't. Wayne.

Since I hayve seen last week’s BAnNER, I came ﬁ, the conclusion that as a maker of candidates for politicai honors, I am not & suecess, and it is mtheriliy:(nlr:\:ging to me to be thus bedten by you, Mr. Stoll; ‘in my first attempt at the business. So, I guess 111 have to quit the .business. DBut, really, I can’t see why you saw fit to suppress a portion of my article on the senatorial question, and my remarks about your candidate. If you were-living on the Grand Rapids & Indi;m;x railroad, like the editor of the Lagrange Standard and us Kendallvillians, you would perbaps see as we see. - Yet I have no fault to find with you for your action in the premises. I only think you are a little too modest. There, now, suppress that again;

- ‘The Commissioners Court is in session this week a Albion. |Five petitions for permits to sell intoxicating liquors, under the Baxter law, are awaiting the action of that body from this city. As crusading is ausgespielt for the present, no objection to. the granting of permits is likely to be made. As the common couneil of this city has increased the amount for license to $5O, $250: will thus be added to the school fund of this ecity. - Wm. B. MeConnell paid our city a visit last Monday i connection with some official duty as Prosecuting Attorney. Evil-doers had better look out, as Billy is some on a prosecution.

The church fair, held in the new Methodist ehurch Jlast week; proved a complete success, the net proceeds amounting fo over $650. The Fair commenced on Tuesday and continued the balance of the- gveek. The concert on Wednesday evening, under the management of Miss Louie Hartsuck, was one of the finest entertainments ever witnessed in this city and drew a crowded ,llouswung of poems, on Satur @, by Miss Fuller, of Boston, ‘ga® universal satisfaction. The church is fast approaching completion and promises to b one of the finest edifices in Northern Indiana. - You may have the county seat, we will take ours in churches. .

Rumor has it that a wedding is soon to take place in our midst. The parties interested are a prominent young traveling man and one of Kendallville’s fairest daughters. Christmas -will tell the story. , Oscar Helmer, son of Stephen Ilelmer, is fast recovering. Ock spent a day at the chureh fair. The Turners’ Gymnastic Association, held nightly in Scheaefer’s Hall, is progressing finely. The boys have all the modern improvements for making muscle. Among the rést is a set of boxing gloves, and, judging from the many iswollen bugles and colored eyes, they are well patronized. You can frequently hear the interrogation: “Vat ish de matter mit your noase?” : ; VINDEX. e AVEGEA. . o A new time-table has been' issued by the B. & O. Railroad, for the Chicago Division, which took effect last Sunday, Dec. 6th. Tt is a very im-

portant document; not so much regarding the running of trains, as to the new division, which terminates five miles east of here. The place has been christened Garrett, in honor of the President of the Road. Of-course, everybody inquires where that important city is situated, and wants to see it, for the reason that all the officers will reside there; such as Superintendent, Train Dispatcher, ete. The place has already been described. It is a low, swampy country, one and a half mile east of a town ¢alled Altoona. There are a few buildings already

erected, among them an engine-house and a few boarding-houses. Two hundred carpenters are employed and the work is being pushed wvigorously. The buildings are constructed of wood for temporary purposes, but it is intended to supply their places with brick buildings in the spring. Many have asked the question, why did the company select sueh an unsuitable locality for the division and the shops ? Tt is argued that if they were located in an eéstablished'town, the accession of people emplpyed in the shops, with their families, ‘would increase the town to such an extent that efforts would soon be madé to incorporate the town into a’¢ity and subject the railroad company to heavy municipal taxes. This argument is of a' very. silly nature, and well-informed citizens say that, as «Avilla is only two miles from the centier between Chicago, tlie western terminus, and Chicago Junction (in Ohio), the eastern terminus, we would have received the division -and shops, had it not been for the'(}r:m(l-.R:xpids & Indiana road, to which the B. & O. people are very much opposed because the Pennsylvania Central controls it.. Be this as it may, the B. & O. road, which has held such a high reputation in the estimate of the people in the past, is now the laughing 'stock of e\'m'ybo‘dy for tak’ihg this step, and the people eall their future “great city,” rightfully; “Frogville? = wei v

- A Mr. Beckley, traveling auditor of the B. & O. road, was in town soliciting all the shipments over the new line ‘and denouncing the Grand Rapids road in the severest terms, © He was enroute for'the pine regions, north, to secure the immense lumbery trade which the Grand Rapids road now has, iand have it shipped across by the Jackson & Saginaw road to Auburn, thence over the B. &O. road. As the new elevator approaches completion, it is'not improbable *hat the B. & O. road will receive all the trade from this town-as the rates :h‘e_zth‘eady,ﬁvef cents per hundred pounds less on grain to eastern points than on the Grand Rapids and its connections,— unless the latter road does something towards erecting suitable - buildings wherein to do business, which it has not done as yet. : ' The B. & O. railroad employs four persc;ns at this station—two day and night agent and operators, and two day and night watchmen. A telegraph office has been established and the passenger house is to be erected inside of six weeks. s

Messrs. Spencer & King, H. C. Stanley, and others, have shipped, thus far, about twelve car-loads of live hogs to Baltimore, but as the hog product is now pretty well reduced it is not likely they will ship as heavily hereafter as they have done in the past. The Evangelical church is completed and the members intend to dedicate it on Sundag, the 20th inst. An eminent diyine from Cleveland, 0., is expected to conduct the ceremonies. Other I‘)l‘E>mmentispeakers are expected to participate in the dedication, and the religious editor of the Ligonier BANNER is also expected. As the congregation is rather small, the members have ‘been subjected to a heavy expense and expect to receive something in the shape of a Peter’s penny as a-donation towards defraying the expenses of the new church, The Avilla Band has leased the ﬁpper room of Isbell’s brick building and converted it into a dancing-room. They intend to have aseries of dances, every two weeks. - The first dance comes off to-night (Tuesday). Mr. J. W. Bliss, the hotel proprietor, will serve a splendid supper at each dance. The mirth-loving world rejoices over this announcement, as such a thing has long been wanted in this place. A young men’s club ‘has also been organized in a room in front of the Masonic lodge-room. Mr. W. D, Carver was elected as President of the club, but as the writer is one of its members, nothing) more than a favorable opinion can be -expected from this source. All the members of the club, some thirteen, were initiated the first night with a big roasted turkey,’and a jollier crowd was never seen. Weekly meetings will be held, and anybody that wants to: come in is subjected to a roasted turkey, which will entitle him to full membership. No ladies are admitted or allowed to join. - : : a

I almost forgot to mention, among the railroad items, that if Harper's Weekly wants the best illustration of the age, they should send Tom. Nast to Garrett, the new city onthe B. & 0. road, and take a view of the “city” and its Surroundin‘gs, as the people are very anxious to see that place on paper—illustrated. - = o There prevailed some discussion between a certain congregation and its minister, in a neighboring chyreh, all about a few of its members belonging to secret societies and a minister of another denomination having preached a funeral sermon in ‘that chureh, which is called unchristian-like, of course. Secret societies are despised worsge by this: minister than an Infi-‘ del or nonbeliever, although the.man that belongs to a secret society is a man of good “moral character in the estimation of the world.

If a law exists that compels a public writer to write all he knows to a publie journal, I am in.favor of abolishing such an infamous law, as I will not state all I know under any circumstances. Of course, lam referring to “Alexis’ ”-stirring! appeal to correspondents of the BANNER in last week’s issue.

Mr. Sam. E. Alvord, editor of the Albion New Era, passed through here last week, en route to Kendallville and return, and solicited subscriptions for the only “independent” paper in Noble county. ' :

From the large number of whisky barrels and kegs received here at the Grand Rapids station for transfer to the B. & O. road, it appears that Kendallville is vastly assuming the headquarters for benzine. Of course, it’s all from Krueger’s distillery. " The American Express Company has established an office here, which

makes two express offices in this place, * Mr. Reub. Stahl receives his oysters direct from Baltimore now and intends having some in the shell hereafter. - s '

Mr. Ammon Snyder, the new harness maker, has been absent to buy his new stock of leather. As he 'paig cash for the same, no doubt exists bul ‘he can qut up a set of harness at as low o figure as anybody in the country. . : The winter school commenced yesterday X)‘[oxlglzty) in the brick schoolhouse. The principals are Mr. Robert P. Barr and Mrs. Fanny Baum. They are both good teachers. ol Police court items have been brisk, Justice Ihrie presiding. = One young man was fined $5 for trying to make his gentle voice heard too conspicuously in a singing-school, and another was ﬁrfed'-‘ST-.SO for meting out a lefthdnder on a cigar dealer’s face instead of payiug him a nickle for his cigar, Mr. W. D. Carver has been absent to Danville, 111, to return this week. Meanwhile the boys are “carrying on” as in days of yore, and order will not be restored until the distinguished constable arrives.

—Bernhardt Donmenberger wants us to say that the new styles of ladies’ dresses—long trails—are a nuisance and an abomination. He says he never saw such styles in all his life, though he traveled over a good portion .of the world, from Europe to Australia. To use his own language: “De womans shweepen de floor and sidewalk mit deir dresses; dey make de broom-makers. poor—noding to do anymore. Dat spoil de broom-maker’s business.

' A CARD TO THE PUBLIC, A Short Postponement of the Fifth : Gift Conecert. ‘ As manager of the gift concerts given in aid of the Public Library of “ Kentucky, my position creates an important trust in behalf of the Public Library and the ticket-holders of the gift concert. The Public Library of Kenxtlucky and ticket-holders are jointly interested in the amount of the drawing. The larger the fund to be distributed in gifts, the greater will be the gift awarded to eaclt lucky ticketholder and the more the amount realized by the Library. To have a full drawing is so manifestly to the interest of those interested, that, rather than have a fractional drawing on the 30th. inst., I deem it due to the trust confided to me by the ticketholders and the Public Library of Kentucky, that a short postponement be made to enable me to dispose of the unsold tickets and havea full drawing.. Though a very large amount now in barik would enable us to distribute handsome gifts, yet we should feel disappointet(;l in this our last concert, should we be compelled to make a fractional drawing, however large. We have received so very large a number of letters from all parts of the country from those most largely interested, urging a postponement if all the tickets be not sold by the 30th, that we feel strengthened in our sense of duty to the ticket-holders and the ﬁublic Library to make the postponement. Under the circumstances, we have determined, in the interest of all parties, to postpone the concert and drawing to Saturday. February 27, 1875, at which time the drawing will positively take place; and, as a guarantee of good faith toward ticketholders, we pledge ourselves to refund to any ticket-holder his money, upon presentation of his ticket, should the drawing fail to come off at the day now fixed. The past, we feel assured, will be sufficient guarantee to all interested that they will be fairly and honorably dealth with. The money paid for: tickets' is sacredly preserved against all contingencies until after the payment of the gifts, after which the expenses are to be reimbursed and the Publie Library are to be paid its profits.
