~Messrs. Spencer & Wheeler are the proprietors of the land on which the station buildings were to be’ erected. | They volunteered to donate a sufficient amount of ground,providing the B. & 0. people would erect suitable buildings and ‘stock yards. The erection of the Elevator was proceeded ‘with about two months ago, and when within five days” work of completion Mr, Hamsher, the right-of-way agent called on Messrs. Spencer & Wheeler and demanded the right of way free gratis, according to agreement, they not having given a-deed as yet, at the same time causing work on.the Elevator to be stopped. . The above-named gentlemen refused to give a deed under the circumstances and ‘work on the Elevator has not yet been resumed.” ‘Threats were made that the Elevator should be torn down immediately and the citizens were asked to -purchase the grounds which they refused to do, and Messrs. Spencer & Wheeler even refused to sell it to anyhody else but the railroad company, and demanded $lOO per acre for the necessary ground. Up to this, time the Elevator was to have been torn down 'o'rf_ five different occasions, and yet the threat has not been executed and probably never will. - Next Wednesday (Feb. 3d) the railroad -officials are expected here, and as they have requested the pro‘prietors of théland to meet them, it is surmised-that 2 compromise may be effected by which the company will pay a compensation, obtain the gro}ind and finish the necessary station buildngh 7 e e

The sales of lots at Garrett are very small. . Everybody is afraid to invest. This is mainly ‘due to rumors afloat thatthe division will not remain long at that point, but will soon be removed to some more suitable place. It is reported that one side of the engine house has sunken so much that it is considered unsafe to: erect any sub--stantial buildings in that vicinity.

The sales of tickets on the G. R. & I.road at this station for the month of January ,ankgmjted ‘to nearly $4OO. which-is about the :average of their monthly sales. The sales at the B. & 0, station amount to nearly the same, which would be a-total of $BOO per month, or $9,600 a year, quite a snug little sum for this place. , S ~ Travel to eastern points is mainly on the G. R. & I and the P, Ft. W. & C. railroads; and is through the efforts of Mr. R. S. Haines, the agent for the G. R. & 1. company, and which if negleeted by him would go over the B, & O.route. = it :

' The Catholic congregation, after a ‘spirited contest, have decided to erect the new church on the ground donated by Mr. Thomas Storey, for that purpose. A few hot-heads opposed the change with all the energy they pos-: sessed. Some, apprehending that the majority were in favor of removal, abstained from voting and tried their _utmost to have Mr. Btorey back out and refuse the ground which he had | volunteered to denate to the church, but their efforts were of no avail, and ‘wheli the vote was taken, after serv-. | and ouly 2 agatsst removal; and so it

‘was decided that the new.church shall go on the new site. The opposition called on Bishop Dwenger, of Fort Wayne, representing to him that the election was void because the members did not all yote. = But the reverend Bishop decided that, as formal ‘notice had been given to every member and the election held at the time when it was ordered to take place, the election was legal and the church must be erected on the new site. It is to be hoped the church will act in unity and proceed with the erection of a building such as will be a credit to themselves and an ornament to the. town. The citizens havp promised aid to the amount of $l,OOO and more is expected. No doubt exists that the building will be proceeded with early in the spring, as Father Duehmig labors with zeal and energy for that purpose. By the way, Father Duehmig is one of the best pastors the church has ever had. He is loved by his. members and admired by alllthé people.. 5 <]

. The Albion New Ere informs its intelligent readers, at the head of its ‘editorial columns, that the Hon. J. E. McDonald was elected U. S. Senator from Indiana by fwo majority. As everybody supposed that Mr. McDonald had 79 votes in the joint convention and that 74 were necessary to a choice, they concluded that he had five majority. As the New Era is an “Independent” paper, it.is perhaps chagrined at the defeat of its party in the Legislature. Now, Sam, where did yvou get your information from ? Perhaps the result of such an important election as that of a United States Senator is not so important to the readers of the New Era as the proceedings: of -a teachers’ institute in some back township. The se;xtiment of nearly every voter in this part of Noble county is for enacting a liquor law with a license fee attached to it, whereby the school fund derives some revenue. The repeal of the Baxter law is unanimously recommended. Let our Representative labor for this sentiment of the people. e " A petition is being circulated and signed by everybody, asking the Legislature’ to enact a law compelling railroad companies in this State to. fence their respective roads, as no law exists to compel them to do so, except a by written agreement. S Plenty of legal business on hand. Justice, constable and lawyer are all busy. Last week a party of Kendallvillians were here charged with assault, but the case was dismissed on account of irregularities in the complaint. At another time there was a battery case, all about one party horrowing a battery and not returning the same in good condition, for which the lender claimed damages. But the Court “could not see the point” and decided in favor of defendant.

ELKHART TOWNSHIP.: : The epizootic is on the wane, but the peoplé of this neighborhood look worse for the wear —some presenting almost a ghostly appearance. : ' It is said that the “good looking ” doctor is somewhat incensed at our mention of him in our last article, which we very much regret, as we have always entertained the best of feeling for him. We hope he will pardon us if what we said was objectionable. Lo 4 e R

- Aunt Lecta Gage has returned from Michigan, weil pleased with her visit. She says she “eat the fat of the land” while there, and from her general appearance: we take it that she did, as she is younger looking than ma? maids of sweet sixteen. We all wel-

come Aunt Lecta back again, as her presence in this neighborhood has a tendency to promote health. No one can long remain sick when she is about.

Mrs. J. B. Smith’s grandmother, Mry Amanda Shears, died at the residence of her son-in-law—Charles Law—on the 23d ult, after a short dllness.— ‘Grandma, as she was familiarly called, was a lady of more than ordinary intelligence, and an honored member of the Free-Will Baptist Church. She had passed her four score years. .

Unele Isaac Smith’s wife has been very sick during the past fortnight, but at this writing is convalescent. ~ We guess saw logs are ripe, from the vast piles we saw in Wawaka yesterday. The town is filled to overflowing. Even the streets—except a very narrow passage in front of Mr. M. M. Dodge’s mill—are perfectly encumbered with them. We éntertain the best ‘of feeling for Mat., but we should feel rejoiced if the proper authorities wo'ld ‘rid up that street. Ty

I noticed in last week’s BANNER thé announcement of the marriage of Uncle Joseph Grisamer, which was a | grave mistake. The facts are these: The day was.set, as the notice stated, } when the two were to be made one, ‘but the would-be bride had been eni gaged to manage-a man’s: honsehold, vrhile he and his wife went on a visit 4 p Pennsylvania, they promising to be ‘back in good season so no postponenoent need be mdde, as the bride and groom had previously arranged to go. ‘to Michigan on their wedding tour to some of her relatives. . But trom some unknown cause the man and his wife fuiled to return at the appointed time which threw thelady into quite aflurry. Maintaining her presence of mind, however, she at once concluded tosend

the boy, who was under her jurisdiction, to tell her affianced how matters stood. But,an old saying is: “it never rains but it pours.” The boy suddenly took seriously ill, and she was thwarted in her pluns and left in an unpleasant dilemma. The time being so near at hand there was no alternative -but to let nature take its own course. So on the day that they were to be unit‘ed in the holy bonds of wedlock, the groom, accompanied by Elder Dodge of Wawaka, repaired to the abode of his betrothed, who by this time had fully made up her mind to not have ‘the ceremony performed until the return of the man and his wife. Uncle Joe ‘pressed his suit with all the vv,e-'i hemence he was master of, but all to no purpose. Joe betrayed some signs of nervousness about this time of day, but the lady domesticated him by fully assuring him that she would lake him happy immediately after the return of the absent ones from the east. So you see, Mr. Editor, if you still have the notice in type you will save some labor, as you will need only to change the date. Also insert the age of the bride—ss years. : A.H.S. - Sunny Side, February 2. =

Mgr. WRIGHT, the editor-of the Wau‘kesha Freeman, says: “About fifteen years since, we received an advertisement from Dr. V. Clarence Price, the Analytical Physician, stating that at such a time he would be in Waunkesha for the purpose of treating Chronic ‘Diseases. There are so many traveling physicians who have neither honesty nor professional ability, that we paid little attention to his advertise‘ment. The time came round, however, and with it Dr. Price, and since that period he has been a regular visitor at our place: In those fifteen years he lias prescribed, we doubt not, for a thousand persons, very many to our knowledge having been permanently cured of diseases, where they . had',long given .up all hope. In our oWn case he prescribed with marked success. There are, no doubt, many traveling mountebanks, but Dr. Price is an exception; he is thoroughly edu‘cated, and for many long years has made’ Chronic Diseases a specialty; charges nothing for consultation; will not prescribe unless he is satisfied he can produce good results; is reasonable in his charges; and is one of the noblest works of God—an honest, upright man.” Remember Drs. Price &- Brewer now regularly visit Ligonier, and will be on their next visit at the Ligonier House during Tuesday, the 18th day of February. |
