. & Egs et e The HAational Banner LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOTUS. —Another “cold snap” has gone rattling'’down the grooves of time. - _ - —You may safely calculate on mud-. -dy roads, in a s&%rt period hence. °. = ° - —A. T. Kern;the Chicago auction store man,’has removed to Goshen. —Several young men - here have commenced parting it on the median line. e e 5] —lt will soon be time to sow lettuce seed. Let us see about this before we begin. - e b . —Rise early and hear the birds sing. It reminds one of spring. “Come, bir-’ digioome” . < i ~—lf you'want to find out who are the enterprising business men of Ligonier, study the advertising columns of the BANNER. - S

- —Mr. E. B. Gerber, hardware merchant, has a few words to offer to the public at large, in another column yof to-day’s BANNER. - i

—Horsemen will bear in mind that we have some very elegant cuts wherewith to adorn announcements for the “ensuing season.” S S

—The "Republicans have ten and the Democrats three thownship assessors in this county—thanks to a republican Board of Commissioners. - . —Whenever the Canada Southern is mentioned in the papers, our Hawpatch friends at ence kick up their heels and shout: “We're going to get it!” . el T

—Levi Diller’s wonderful spring is attracting wide attention. As soon as 'we can gain a little leisure, we shall go;out there and take a look at the thing? . S 1 i

~ —The Park Association has not yet been able to fully agree upon the selection of a Fair Ground. Another

effort will be made three weeks from next Saturday. S 2

—Tt’s all on account of two bucolic citizens becoming involved in a quarrel over the:trapping of two skunks that Jawyer Zimmerman was unable to reach Albion last Monday. - '—Mier & Sax started 'for Chicago last Monday, to lay in their stock of clothing, &c., for the spring season.— The time of opening their new store is indicated in our advertising colamns. - e ' o

~—lf the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is such a dangerous rival, why is it that Cromwell and Albion merchants cause their goods to be shipped over the Lake Shore, vic Brimfield and Ligonier? - = B

—There is no prospect of the new apportionment contemplated by the House being passed by the Senate. The 1600 Republicans of Lagrange will therefore continue to veto the choi¢e of Noble county’s 2300 Demoerats. - . BN

—A Hawpatch school teacher portrays the annoyance to-which his profession is subject, -in another part of this week’s BANNER. -According to his version, schoolmasters, like most others, have their full share of trouble in this world. =~ . : + —The Ligonier brewery has been in operation for several weeks, under the management of John Sommer, lat%;)rf‘_ Canton, O. Enough Gerstensaft v be manufactured to quench the thirst of at least 10,000 disciples of Gambrinus next summer.” ~.

—llt is probably true that our prog-

nostications as to the advent of spring + ~uttered two weeks ago were some- - what premature. Yet we hardly deem it just in Charley Inks to remind us-of the “slip” whenever it suits ~a perverse weather-clerk to tréat us .to 16 inches of snow, a severe “freeze - up,” or some other like trifling circumstance. R R e —Milt Chapman occupies only eight columns of the BANNER to inforfh the farmers ' what he has in store "for them, and lie mentions only a few ar- - .ticles at that. It may be inferred from . this ‘that Milt’s establisment is no “one-liorse concern.” Enterprise will .. erop ‘out, ‘and nowhere ‘better than through the advertising columns of a live paper, . |- —Attorney’s fees on notes are .. among the things of the past, in Hoosierdom. - There will be much rejoicing over this announcement in La- - grange county, where certain lawyers have been very hoggish in. interpret- " ing the meaning of a “reasonable attor- .+ ney’s fee.” ' The bill declaring such . —provisions in votes null and void was

introduced by Representative Harper, of Lagrange. It passed the House several weeks since, butthe Senate gave its consent only on Friday last. .—THE BANNER is not given to indiscriminate puffs, as our readers well know, and it is only when we find a business house thit by the energy and

business ' tact of féts proprietors; is outstripping its fellows and showing anl intention to maintain a position in the front rank, that we feel like calling public attention to it. Such a house is that of Engel & Co., Kendallville. Their stock is large and varied, and they are winning golden opinions by their manner of conducting that establishment. . N e

—The special correspondent of the Chicago T'imes telographed the following item on Monday last: “A party of Goshenites consisting of Mr. Isaac A. Simmons and wife, Mrs. 8. McKibben, Misses- Ida. McKibben, Fannie ‘Stair, and Mary Denny, left this city, on Friday afternoon in a sleigh, to visit friends mnear Ligonier.. When about one mile from their destination, and while crossing a pond ‘on ‘the ice, the ice suddenly gave way. The horses went under the ice, pulling the sleigh with its occupants after them. The shrieks of the women brought several men to thg rescue, who labored faith-fully-and succeeded in extricating the -entiré party from the sleigh and a watery grave. The horses were saved, although eonsiderably bruised. ‘The party were conveyed to the residence of William Denny, in the Hawpatch, whither they were bound, and properly cared fof. The water was six feet deep where the horses went

—A new style of queensware—the ‘Cable Pattern—has just been received at Decker’s, 46-w3.

- —Read what the proprietors of the Ligonier- Wagon and Plow Works have to announce to the farmers in another part-of to-day’s BANNER. ~We understand that Mr. Robert Cory _was shot in the head by a man with whom he was quarreling about some trivial affair, at Syracuse, on Tuesday last. He will recover. —Mr, Samuel L. Latta attended the meeting of -the national butter and egg association at ;hicago. last week. He says the attendance was not quite as large as had been anticipated.

—You will find -the sixth and seventh chapters of our thrilling story—‘“Rosalie Rathborne”—on the supplement, together with six columns of ‘other wuseful and instructive reading matter, for both old and.young.” . . —Every farmer in Noble eounty will be in possession of a copy of this week’s BANNER. . Many of them will doubtless realize that they have missed a “good thing” by not long since ‘becoming regular subscribersito a paper which .contains so much reading matter of local and general interest. - —Rumors of a dastardly attempted outrage by one of our city officers. on a married woman of Fort Wayne are rife. - The case was about to go before a justice of the peace, but in some unaccountable. manner has been - hushed up, and unless before the,-grémd jury, it probably will not be heard of again. —Fort Wayne News. . ' _ —The story commenced three weeks ago inthe BANNER—entitled “Rosalie Rathborne”—is being. read with intense intérest. It is by many pronounced far ssuperior to the general run of stories in eastern literary journals: We can furnish about forty copies of the ‘preceeding chapters to those wishing to become regular subscribers. . - L X

—Three hundred and thirty-three thousand,four hundred and eight bush-els-of whieat would make an “awful” heap if all were stored away in some capacious ; warehouse. . Well, that is exactly the quantity of wheat shipped from Ligonier station during the year 1874. - A good many hungry fellows down east and across the briny deep haye filled their stomachs with this product of our sturdy tillers of the soil. e : b, ey 2

- —From the Elkhart Observer of the Bth we glean this item:- Two sleepers on No. 5 jumped -the track yesterday at 4 A. M. at Brimfield! The train was under full way, as it does not stop at that place. The accident was caused by & broken journal, the trucks of both cars were badly damaged. The train was delayed only one hour and forty minutes clearing up the debris and transferring the passengers from the'sleepers to the other coaches. No one-was hurt and no one severely. injured. A wrecking car was dispatched to the scene. Old railroad men say it was as bad anight to run as there has been this winter. So dense was the fog that a light could not be seen a car’s length.. = . - .

- —We learn that Dr. Ellis of Goshen and Joseph A. Funk of Warsaw, both ex-Auditors,” have. made a thorough investigation of ex-treasurer Isaac Mendenhall’s accounts with the county. They found as regards the original charges that there was a diserepancy of less than fifty dollars, but that in making his final transfer of funds to his successor in office, an_error of about: $1,050 was made in Mendenhall’s favor. The total amiount found to be due the eounty from Mendenhall is something over $1,004. Owing to some differences of opinion between the: county commissioners and Mr. Mendenhall -as to interest, the final adjudgment -of the matter has been turned over to the circuit court. .

I Rome City Newss. | The trade between Coony Seheenfield and H. G. Cobbs has “fell through.” Mr. C. willremain at his old stand and Coony has gone East, rumor says, to purchase some first-class billiard tables, and upon his return will it up the corner roomi in the mpst approved ~modern style and furnish it with new ‘tables and other accommodations for the seekers of pleasure and sojourners - here, and it is furtherasserted that he he will place upon the waters of our beautiful lake a new sc¢hooner, to be propelled by either steam or sails. He intends also to rig a number of small sail boats, and if Father -Kerr should conclude to convert his beautiful island into a summer garden, Rome City will hereafter be a perfect paradise for pleasure seekers and invalids. We will have more to say about this in the future. e :

- We have in our immediate vicinity a miraculous hunter who can beat the ancient Nimrod. West Sunday never goes for game but what he gets it. He can scale the highest trees of the forest in pursuit of a wounded squirrel or coon, and he has been seen to leap from the top of one tree to another in pursuit, and he:mever gives up the chase until the animal is captured. A short time since, he saw a hawk catch a quail. | He went for the hawk and made it drop the quail; he then took the feathers of the quail—keeping the bird himself—and made a trap, using the feathers for bait, and in a-very short time had the hawk in close confinement and made him atone for his devilment. This can'all be proven by Coony Scheenfield.. /=

So far as we have been able to learn, Mr. Johnson and his wife have given general satisfaction and proven themselves tobe very efficient teachers. - - The odd Fellows of Wolcottville: are making arrangements to start a new lodge in that village.: Several of the Romanites are going in with them. They have plenty of goed material and will no.doubt soon have a flourishing lodge. The boys have our best wishes. “Where is old Snake Eye ?” A petition, numerously signed, was sent to the County Cbmmissioners, asking them to appoint John W. Teal Assessor for Orange township. Commissioner Tmes i a citizen of Orange, and Mr. T. was informed that the matter would be left to him. But inasmuch as Mr. T. failed to get the appointment and our wishes were not respected, some are cur}ous to know the cause. 'Who was appointed we have at this writing (Monday) not learned. 'lt cannot be that John W. was discarded for incb’mpeten’cy, for he is'a capable man. That John is a Granger, there is no mistake. He is boss of the Grangers hereabouts.” But it is our opinion that John was too modest to exhibit his “ear,” and there-. fore his claims were disregarded. We call upon that Board, and especially Commissioner Tmes, for an explanation. Let William rise and: explain. . E. H. Fisher has moved dow:g)wn into the.building formerly occtipied by L. R.

The First National Bank of this city will soon attach to the door of its safe a chronometer lock. It consists of two watch-works and can be set to unlock at any hour desired by the officers of the bank, but is beyond their control after being once set in motion until the appointed time, when it unlocks the door. The most successful mode of robbing banks at this time is to capture,ah ‘officer of the bank, or the person who holds the keys, and make him open the safe. - This lock will, of course, -prevent that kind of robbery, as the unlocking of the door is beyond the control of the bank officer. This attachmeént will cost about $5OO, and with it our bank will certainly have all the saféguards that money can obtain. . Its telegraph alarm is an ingenious contrivance, and-when in connection sounds an unwelcome protest against-burglarious interference. Rk .

The spelling school on Friday evening was a very pleasant affair and developed the fact that Kendallville has, quite a number of good spellers. May Wildman and Theresa Cox were appointed choesers and May carried off the prize awarded to 4he side missing the fewest words in one hour.- About forty persons stood up to engage in the “spell down,” and it required over an hour, with a great variety of words, to induce them all to be seéated agaim. Mr. A. B§ Park, ;M' C. (Member'of the Committee), failed to properly furnish his tenement atid was forced to move out on short notice. The tranquillity of a BANNER office printer called him to the chair. JF. U. Miller, the frivolous local editor of the Standard, was Ml-fated. Having deliquesce-l, he was immediately restored, but soon strangled with quintessence. G. A. Brillhart could not supply the odometer, ‘and hisameighbor wheeled out of l%he ‘with an imperfeet felly. One school‘maam tripped from a platean, another fell with an abscess, and a third had a fatal inflammation,while Mrs. Ruggles ‘actually shrank from her caricature. Mrs. Angie Teal’s attack of phthisic proved fatal, though the Doetor insists that asphywio is what did the mis chief: Bronchitis choked Mrs. Parker, and Father Dyke yielded to the nox.ious infiuence of miasma. Our/enterprising friend, Daniels, was ios‘t in Cincinnati; Dr. Williams, while qui‘efly trudging along on the "Wz)vrcester road, was suddenly” capsized on the Alleghany; and J.S. Cox, that vener‘able and successful explorex, who had previously disposed of a troublesome cargoof turnips, was preparing to sailin on the “home stretch,” when—alas, for all human hopes!—he was wrecked in the Narragansett and sank to rise no more. Jim Colgt6ve had been worrying over Louisiana affairs: and, in the yvain hope of quieting his nerves, took too large a dose of paregoric and was obliged to retire from the contest. = Thus, one by one, the vietims'fell, until, at last, Prof. Bachelder; failing in his treatment of dys_entery, was also carried away, and Dr. Teal was left alone in all his glory. ‘Ampther coutest was appointed for two .weeks‘from that evening, to be held at the same place and governed by %ﬁ%same Mgy, - @@ ill Sheffer and wife visitédfriends here last week. .. vl i

Pole-cat Myers’ eﬁ%rt last week to. injure-one of the business men of this place proved abortive, of course, and itgonly@ffect was to further incense the people against the Standard and itsidespicable editor.

After refréshments, and just before going home, it was proposed to have a “spell,” in which all engaged very heartily.

I have frequently heard it asked,. “Why do n’t Rumbo give a weekly report to the BANNER?” Well, I will here answer. Ido not want to write anything but what will be of some interest to the many readers of that journal. Whenever anything happens that is worthy of note the item will be promptly sent to the BANNER. Since our last local, another of ours aged fathers has been called to leave. the shores of time. = George Kitt died February 27th, 1875; aged 83 years, 11 months and 13 days. Father Kitt was one of the early settlers of this county ; a kind neighbor, a good citizen, and was beloved by all who knew him. Father Kitt was buried in the ‘graveyard near this place, but the funeral discourse was postponed until a future day.
