~——Omn-the first page will 'be found.an article concerning tlie discovery of a rare specimen of Lake llerrih;g; in the head waters of the Tippecanoe River. Of this beautiful family of the finny tribe Prof. D. S. Jordan, Assistant U. S. Fish Commissioner, has this to say: “They are a very rare figh, heretoknown only from Lakes Geneva and Mendota, in southern|Wisconsin, and never described by any naturalist, although specimens have been sent to Agassiz, and I myself gave one to Prof. Putnam, of Salem, ' Their first name is Argyrosomus, meaning ‘silver body,» and if they prove to be undeseribed T think I shall call them ‘Argyrosomus Cisco.” Although it is not known when or how these fish first came into the waters of our neighboring county, the fact™ That they are there is a valuable discovery and will no doubt induce extensive piscultural experiments, as the existence of these Herring is conclusive evidence that many other rare Lake varieties would grow and thrive in the placid waters of our own beautiful lakes. =

The pig-iron men of Pennsylvania propose to-diminish their produetion one-half during: 1875, The pig-iron, business became profitable and many people engaged in it, and the competition and the immense amount of expansion that has been going on during the last year or two has destroyed the’ beauty of the pig-iron monopoly, and they have determined to preserve the graceful features of that monopoly and keep the price up. These pig-iron men will "persist in working for the people.

COUNTY NEWS AND GOSSIP,

ELKHART TOWNSHIP. SUNNY SIDE, Dec. 14.— Having a little leisure, we ihought a few items from Sunny Side once more might not prove entirely uninteresting to the many readers of your valuable paper. We confess to having been somewhat negligent, and did not feel a sense of our duty until reminded by “Alexis” that we could not expect locals from others unless we give them in return. Therefore, we have again resolved to l help the BANNER, in our humble manner, and thereby retain those rare and racy items from its numerous correspondents, which .we, like “Alexis,” find the most interesting part of a local paﬁcr. ; ;

After a spell of severe “squaw winter,” we have been Blessed with a week of magnificent weather. - Butchering in this neighborhood is pretty generally done, and buckwheat cakes and sausage are now the order of the day. logs in these parts are becoming quite scarce, from the fact that the farmers® corn crop was deficient and everything in the shape of a “grunter,” that could be got into market was disposed of. Of hay, straw and fodder, we can boast a moderate supply. :

Our (Kansas) brick school-house is now completed, and we will assert, without fear of successful ’ccmt(mdié-‘ tion, that it is the nicest and bestbuilt school-house. in Noble county, the ljonors of which belong jointly to our buterprising 'l‘rustee, G, W. Mummert, and John W. Boardner, the contractor and carpenter. = The latfer well deserves the name of “Honest Joln.” Ie has .sunk money on the job, and we thi‘,nk it would be just and right for the Commissioners to allow him something more than the cbntruct price for the work. And should they .call over and look at it, we think tliey would do-so.

Our s‘c}:lgoo‘lb has now been in progress two weeks, under the supervision of J. B. Smith, who is now on his third term and avows ‘that the new “Kansas” goes mugh better than the old. v

County Surveyor Guthrie preached A discourse at the residence of Uncle Isaac Smith last Saturday evening, and on Sunday at the school-house.

How is this one, I&. D 7 Ko . e HAWPATCH. & Ebitor BANNER :—Not knowing of any communicant from this section of the country, I make bold to inform the reading community through the medinm of your most valuable paper something of our doings herey both ridiculous and sentimental, exciting and serene. . . C

Quite an exeiting and rather serious affray occurred at Slabtown, or perhaps better known as Hudson’s Corner’s last Saturday evening -a week ago. Bei. King entered the store of Mr. Cruson, and, on account of some former depredation, was ordered out by the Tatter. - King refused to go; Cruson, armed with a hatchet, threatened violence and forced King to leave the room, which he did with a good deal of cursing; declaring that he would have revenge; that he would murder him (Cruson) if he ever caught him out; would burn his property, &e. And thus the first storm blew: over without serious results. But the difficulty could not rest here. Ben had friends who were ready to.“do and dare’”” that hislwrongé mightbe avenged. Eb. ITowell now appeared upon’ the porch in front of the ddor, and, by braying, pawing, and nu_merous other antics in imitation of a jackass, contrived to provoke Mr. Cruson to the door, hatehet in hand, to drive the intruder from his premises. No sooner had, the proprietor’s head protruded from the open: door than an “old hat” was drawn over his head and he was drawn forward, at the same time receiving a blow behind the ear which knocked him down. He soon recovered hirriself; however, when a fearful fight ensued, King holding his arms: from behind. Mr. Cruson succeeded in inflicting several lively gaslies in King’s head, but Eb., Frank Shamblin and Ben were too much for him. “They forced him to the back part of the 'store, and had him down upon the floor when Mrs. Cruson and son appeared upon the scene. Young Henry Morrow, hearing the rumpus, reached in at this moment and rescued the unfortunate man, just as Eb. had the hatchet raised and was about-to “chop ‘his head off.” ' It is thought had not ‘ the matter ended where it did, blood would have flowed profusely. Warrants were issued by Justice Poyser, and Constable Jones was sent in pursuit of the outlaws.. But we have no tidings of their whereabouts at the present writing, -

Business interests in this rural district are about a 8 usual. - Farmers are practicing the old adage, “spend and regale,”—consuming through the winter the earnings of the summer—excepting a few enterprising ones, who are running threshing machines, sawing machines, ete. o e | Sycamore Corners, which, as is generally known, took its name from an ancestral tree of that species, is just now of some note. A literary society, under the management of J. I’. Abraham, is making rapid strides up the surmountable Hill of Science. .

The blacksmith shop at Sycamore Corners is managed by a young and enterprising “smith” from Ligonier by the name of VanSlyke, who can be found at his post at all hours of the day ready to minister to the wants of his many customers. S

. The Sunday-school of Eden Chapel will close its summer’s term, for a short vacation, on Christmas. Eve {Dee. 24), concluding with an entertainment consisting of speeches, music, essays, dialogues, Christmas tree, ete., all of which is intended to be intertaining; instructive and impressive. It is the design of the instigators of this highly éreditable move to so conduct it that all members of theschool, and all othersin attendance that evening, will be impressed with the beauty and honor of being an attentive Sun-day-school scholar. The tree will be loaded with presents for the school only. Tlhe reasons for this are apparent.. All are cordialy invited. : o : . SBarpet . CROMWELL. , EpiTtor BANNER: —After a silence of several weeks, I again appear before the many readers of the BANNER in order to stop the cry, “What has become of the Cromwell correspondent?” Well, I will say right here that I am on the war path, but as items are scarce, and of course we have very little time to hunt up any, you j\\jill | rave to excuse me with but few this Hime ‘ v ‘

Business here is in a flourishing condition at present. Our menrchants are receiving piles of . goods every week over the new road. :

‘Mr. Jos. *Calbeck shipped two carloads of hogs from this station week before last to Baltimore, they being the first fre'ight billed from here over the B, P. &C. road: o "~ The new grain elevator was finished last Friday, and on Saturday Mr. Van B. Smith delivered the first load of wheat. Mr. H. G. Tucker, the agent, reports everything in fine running 01der and, ready to receive all the grain that may be brought to this station. The new stock-yards are finished and stock can be loaded with ease. We expect the carpen.ters’here in a few days to finish up the depot and the telegraph office. el The meat market has closed, for some reason-or other. We can’t tell, but suppose too much “tick” did the business. A Dr. Jones will soon be in his new room, which is being ﬁnished as rapidly as possible. Business. i Our town has been chuck full of busiiless men lately, from Baltimore, Chicago, Ligonier, &e., looking after the products of the country, such as wheat, corn, hogs, &¢. 1 Mae., the night operator here, has had several trials and diffieulties lately. Last night a “star” boai'der made application for boarding, and on being refused, made for Mae, striking him above the eye, and being armed with a poker, made him skedaddle. Anda few nights since he was almost scared to deathr by a couple of bummers of this place. Last week four chaps, myself among the number, concluded to have a d:iy of sport. So, arming ourselves with shot-guns, muskets, ete., we started for the: Nine Mile TLake a-ducking. But not having any luck in that line, we concluded to try dry land game We did n't find anything worth mentioning, except one owl and three or four sapsuckers. The next day a' hardy son of toil made his appearance, inquiring after a 'dog which was in possession of one of the crowd. Of course we did n't steal the dog, but he came home with us.
