FRIENDS: OF EDUCATION IN = S COUNGHR, - o : ¥io § e BT Proceedings. of the Graded ‘School S Nfeetimge . T - " Pursuant to a.call published in the BANNER of last week, a large number assembled at ‘the school 'house last Friday evening—aniong Wwhom weére many of our most übstantial citizens and heaviest tax-payers, representing at least four-fifthsof‘the taxable property of the town, besides several citizens from other parts of the township who are largely interested in the matter of taxation—for a -further consideration of the question of establishing a graded school at this place. The. meeting was called_to order and, on motion, Dr. E. W. Knepper was elected ¢hairman and J. W. Higginbotham BeCRBLATY. - . Sl , In behalf of the committee appointed at the meeting of April 30th, Mr, E. B.,Getber made the following re:. 'DOl‘t': o ‘ =y 1

. We, the Committee to whom was referred the matter of examining the law in reference to the manner of proceeding in the erection of a graded school building, would respectfully report that, under the existing law, the township trustee and tlte town council.of Ligonier are authorized to levy a tax of 50 cents on each $lOO valuation of property in the township and town, ‘together’ with a poll-tax of $1 on each poll. ok . Pending a motion to adopt the committee’s.report, D. C. Van Camp, Esq., was called upon to read and expound ‘the law bveaxji,ng‘-tbn the matter in question, which he proceeded to do, but ‘getting things somewhat “mixed” as ‘to whether thé.board of trustees of the ‘town: or the school trustees had the power to make the levy, a sort of general debate ensued. At the suggestion of Mr. Stoll, reference was made to a section of the law which settled the qiestion, showing elearly that the power is vested in the town trustees. ~ Mr. Gerber then offered the following: , L~ : i WHEREAS, The school facilities of: Ligonier are insufficient'to meet the requirements of the town and vieinity, and : - - T e . WHEREAS, A-township gradedschool building of sufficient size to accommodate. the advanced -scholars of the schools of the town of Ligunier-and of Perry township—built by the special taxation-of the town and” township—is the most practicable means by which this want can be supplied, therefore, SR R ‘ * Resolved, That the trustee of Perry township and the trustees of the town of Ligonier be and'are hereby instructed to levy a special seliool-tax for that purpose, as the law pravides: - - On motion,.the_reso,il/l_tion\ Wwas unanimously adopted. = .~ . * Suggestions as to what class of building would-meet the 'féqufxements and as to when to proceed to itsterection being in order, remarks were made by J. C. Zimmerman, H. Wood, F. W. Straus, D. 8. Scott, J. B. Stoll, and othefs; the conclusion arrived at’being that a building to cost aboat $20,000 would be the class required, and that an emergency existed for its immediate erection; which ‘wq'ul.d' justify the. town in issuing bonds'for a sufficient amount to ereet it without delay. The town is in admirable condition to negotiate its bonds, being out of debt and having money ii the treasury. The abovg conclusion arrived. at, and all present being firmly resolved ‘that Ligonier shall offer facilities for education equal to the best, tH¢ meeting then adjourned. . . = .= 7« . " J.

—On the 4th page of to-day’s paper, in the “Farm and Household” department, we publish a number of valuable recipes, all of which have been thoroughly tested and are known to be excellent. ~ But our compositor, who, by the way, does n’t claim to be a baker, in attempting to make two cakes with one recipe spoiled both.. The recipe given for “Cream Cake” will not make a cake, but is to be. used as a crewm for the “Washington Cake,” which is baked in layers, same as for jelly cake. The errgr was not detected until after the outside pages of the BANNER were in print. . —Lycurgus Cram is at present sojourning in Texas, whither he has recently gone for the bénefit of his health.

~ NOBLESVILLE SPECIAL. " To-day we were c*lled.oupoif_t'o pay ‘our last respects to one of our kind neighbors who departed this life on the 6th inst., Sarah Ann, wife of Mr. Jesse Lock, of Green township; aged 22 years, 10 months and 6 days. A large concourse of people followed the remains to. the Chapel, near this place, where a very able and impressive funeral discourse was preached by Elder Peter Winebrenner, after which the remains were conveyed %o the Sanford graveyard for interment. Mirs. Lock was well-beloved by all who knew her. She leaves'two small chil-: dren, a kind husband and numerous friends to mourn their loss.. Mr. L. ‘has the sympathy of the entire community in this his sad bereavement. Only a few days ago the deceased was well and going around, :To-day she is numbered with the dead and lies sleeping in the;ground. . ‘ Quite a nuber of bodies have been disinterred in the Sinford graveyard of late and removed to the burying-' ground near this place. = | .

SPRINGER'S ROYAL CIRQZOOS LODON. ‘At Ligonier Thursday, May 20th. - We announce, in our advertising columns, of this issue, the coming of ﬂ;is vast and comprehensive amuseent organization, which, from its immensity and the completeriess of its many departments, bids fair to overshadow all the great traveling exhibitions of the day. In factthe manageinent seem to have exhausted the resources of both hemispheres in attractive and original features, and in the determination to make the “Cirqzoolodon” the perfection of exhibitions under canvass. They have certainly aggregated a Show which, for colossal iproportions and variety of recreative en‘ertainment, is unprecedented in the annals of the ammusement world. THE ZOOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT is composed of forty well-filled dens and cages of rare living wild beasts and bixds, besides a great number of led animals, and contains more exclusive and special features than any in thé country. In this great collection are included living Giraffes, Sea Lions, Ostriches, Yaks, White Bear, Indian Elephants, Vlacke Varkes, Black Leopards, Rhinoceros, Horned Horse, and, in fact, a large number of animals, living specimens of which are seldom or never exhibited. : The classification is complete, and the animals are in charge of courteous and intelligent keepers whose duty it is to answer all questions regarding the habits, history, and peculiarities ot the different beasts, birds and reptiles. - In the ; MUSEUM DEFARTMENT = Are the Fiji Cannibals, noted as being the only ones ever brought to" America, and perfect types of their peculiar race. They illustrate, at every exhibition, the characteristic 'war, challenge, and fan dances of théir native country, and give a great variety of. interesting performances. In this department, also, “Admiral Dot,” the ‘merest atom of humanity ever created, being only one-fourth the size of the celebrated “General Tom Thumb.” This noted man in miniature differs from the generality of dwarfs from thre fact that his body and limbs are perfect in. their symmetry, and his mind is one of more fhan usual intelligence. These, in addition to a thousand other curiosities’'in.the Museum Department, have been leased from Mr. P. T. Barnum especially for this exhibition. - 2 ' : ' * THE 'CIRCUS : Is perhaps the largést and most complete in appointments and detail of any ‘in the world, and embodies the most celebrated artists in the profession, including the great Harry Welby Cooke,: *England’s Champion Equestrian,” Jutau, “The Winged Meteor,” “Bertie King,” premiere Equestrienne, Mitte and Wilcox, “Kings of the Air,” Kate Cooke, Maitresse du Manage, Ted Almonte, the great A B CClown, and one hundred other noted perform‘ers. This great Show travels exclusively by rail and requires, for'its transportation two locomotives and fiffy ears. | e :

X ; Tts Construction. E : 1 . It has a double tongue, s?;read sufficiently wide to allow the operator to have when either riding or walking, a plain view of the row and keep the horses from %etting close together to obstruct that view, and also prevents them from trampling down the corn. The geat bars are-also spread apart so a 8 not to obstruct the view, and in their arrangement spring sufficiently for ease and comfort. The double-tree-is also attached directly to the axle, thereby relieving the strain from othér parts. and algo places it where it does not obstruct the view. The draft arrangement is complete, the draft rods #o which the single-tree is attached being carried below the tongue, causing an upward drafty, thus taking it entirely off of the horses’ necks, ! s : £ : ! * Arrangement of the Beams. : The beams are made to ran level by meansofa Plvot-pq’;t, which is held rigidly to its place by means of a nut turning down tightly, and the front end of the beam is pivoted on the lower end of the pivot-post in such a way that it allows the beam to swing sidewise, or up and down, at the will of the operator, and.not aliowing the:beams to rock.. : D iy . s ' ; : ilt is Easily Operated. e i . The shovels are very easily guided with the feet when riding or by the hands wheu walking. They are independent of each'other, and either one may be moved in. any direction without interfering with the other, or the§ may be moved in an opposite, or both in the same direction, to prevent plowing up the corn, g : e : L % - . The Only Practical Shield in Use. . e i i i ; : . It has'the favorite Rotary Shield, the only practical shield in the market, which not onl‘y; protects the young plants, but entirely remedies tke difficulty of clogging with stalks or other tragh, - ° s . Dirt Thrown to or from the Corn. L _This is done by ‘means of twisted shovels, and the dirt may be thrown to or from the dorn, as . desired, by changing standards from one gide to the other. . ; : ; - : - Adjustable in Width and Depth. ; : It is easily adjusted to any required depth by means of a chain attached to the beams and pivotgost, which allows it to run as de‘eg as required, and also allows it to adjust to greater or less width etween the shovels instantly., The shovels can also be instantly raised out of the ground by the ‘handles, and hooked up under the axle for turning around at the end of the row, or to go from field - to field. The shovel braces are provided with wooden pins to prevent breaking the shovels, and also to adjust them to run deep or shallow. - T { g { i " . High Wheels and Axles.’ e ‘ " The wheels and axles are sufficiently high to pass over corn in the last plowing. It iz also easily arranged for marking out.corxt greund, and with the fifth shovel attached is a Com{;lete’ Cultivator for plowing in wheat, oats, barley, ete., or for stirring fall plowing and, cnlti_vating allow ground. : | It £xcels All Others: . From the Fast guccess of this Cultivator, the high commendations of those who have used it, + and with the improvements recently added, we confidently assert that the Junior Buckeye /| Riding or Walking Cultivator has no superior in the market. 25 ‘ @ For Sale. by a ; : % : .
