Test Trial of the Famous “Silsby.”

~ My Leo. Myers, of the Chi cago- Fire Department, will, onThursday and Friday evenings, June 24th and 25th, between the hours of 5 and 8.%. ~ give a test trial-of one of the cele‘brated Silsby Steam -Fire En: gines, With a view of effecting a sale to the corporation. It is to be ‘hoped that property holders will take the mat)ter into due consideration, as ‘all will admit that Ligonier is far behind neighboring towns m facilities for subduing the fi‘ery element in case of large con- | flagrations. = Within the past six years there has been enough property destroyed to purchase at least two good engines, and there is' no reason to suppose that, because we ‘have of late: sustained no serious losses, we may not be visited by a destructive conflagration. at ‘any momeént. Certainitis, we have abundance of material to cause one. Let all tax-payers look carefully into the® matter and act accordingly. Let them be present at the propoesed test-of-this.engine and judge for themselves ‘whether 1t 1s advisable to purchase one of these prop-erty-saving apparatuses, - . ey C w DR, ALGANTS extracts teeth without pain by using Nitrous Oxide Gas.—-43-26 -+=Col. 8.

- —The Rochester Sentinel ,puts it in this. way: “No amount of business prevents the playing of ctoquet or ground billiards By a large number of I)i'ofessionai men, every day. There is just as much time spent in playing thiat game as there is at saloon billiard playing, and not unfrequently- as much at stake upon the result of the game. The one is condemned as demoralizing to. society, the other- is s:mct%ned :m('l. enjoyed by moralists and reformers.” There isa shadow of tiruth: in‘ this.sort of i'eaSOlling, but we hardly think the Sentinel could maintain its position if a bright croquétist felt disposed to take up the cudgel.

AT BION ILLOCAIL.

I have at length waded thro’ a mass of pressing business that crowded me to the utmost, and once more make my ‘bow to the readers of THE BANNER. | . ~ . Much has occurred here that might be made of some interest to your readers since my last local, and I will -éndeavor, to sort out such items as I think will proveinteresting. Let us begin with the proceedings of our - | CIRCUIT COURT, o which | wound up its proceedings on Thursday last. Pt There were judgments rendered amounting to $30,722.97, a much larger aggregate than has been rendered for some time. St

- Most of the -State ‘cases were continued, or ordered to be left off the docket, owing to the difficulty of procuring the attendance of witnesses>— There seems to be a lively disposition on the part of a certain elass of fel‘lows in every county to, have saloon keepers and others indicted; and having brought this about, these zealous sticklers manage to keep out of the way of service of subpceenas, The inference is that spite or some equally méan spirit prompted the complaint befdre the grand jury. - Geo. Brooks, a hardened sinner, and who amused his leisure hours in writing verses for the Neio Era, was sent to the State’sPrison for two years for burglary and

larceny. - L ~ Our Prosecuting Attorney, as usual, dréw another indictment against Naney Mains and two others for assault and battery with intent to kill. | Mrs. Mains came over and through her’ counsel, Judge Morris; made an affidavit that her health was so precarious that S]le could not possibly go to trial, and that she wanted time to procure counsel and get ready to make a fight. So the gase was continued. .~

. The several cases bx'ouglft by saloon keepers in Ligonier, against the town corpoérzjtion, were also continued. Under the decision of the Supreme Courtthese men have no remedy,’ and the cases’ will be finally disposed of, no doubt, at the fall term. : T _ The case of Roberts and Thorp vs. Gilbert an& Clayton, went to trial before a jury. This was a suit on a note for a threshing machine with flax riddle jattached; -the defendants set up anianswer of damages, etc., the case was std’utly contested by our short-haired frien(l Knisely for the plaintift and Tousley and Chapin for defendants. The jury, after being out until midnight, brought in a verdict for defendants. A motion for a new’ trial was made and case continued until next term: ' : Elizabeth Ellenwood, of Kendallville, was.divorced from Philo 'EI- ' lenwood. Philo had deserted hi¢ wife and refused to provide for her, and she cast off the hawser and now fights life’s battles alone. Clara Miller, also of Kendallyille, had ‘the golden cords severed that tied her to Johm D. Miller. John appears to be Iu hard case. lle was cruel, neglectful, dl'lllll{en. lle would not provide for' Clara, which was mean and cowardly. Besides, he deserted his ‘W'ife.;mn(l utterly refused to have anythibg more to do with her. = The! suit brought by Elisha Peck ag&ins'}: “Harry Whige,” the patent right (jchnp, to recover . possession of the no;ke obtained from Peck by a pair of swindlers this last spring, resulted in Peck’s favor. White failed to put in .an appearance, and his counsgel. would not take any risks on the case, so it went ‘up “a kiting.” Let Mr. Peck learn a lesson from this transaction. Only through the efforts of his counsel from the start, and not on account of anything that he did, has he been saved paying that note, - 0 “The breach of promise case from Kendallville was continued.

The case of Oliver Morris, against | ‘Dr. S, W. Lemmon has been settled, the doctor paying Morris twelve hundred dollars cash down. "Our community has been disuppqinted in this settlement, for .a good many people *had sdented’'some strange revelations, ‘and the wise ones, who always meet you with a*l told you so,” are not satisfied. A . COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT. ‘ The County Commissioners have appointed M. C. Skinner, of this place, County Superintendent for two years. ‘This i$ an excellent selection; jand now let Skinner go to work and make himself familiar with the needs of our s‘chbols; make the teachers step up or | step out; if they don’t understand how to teach, put them through a conrse of practical training — make them teachers, not merely pensioners on the school fund. Compel, if possible, the young and inexperienced teacliers, and there are enough of them,;l to attend the institutes and ex‘ercise them+in practical teaching. It 'is not enough that they know the capital of the United States and can repeat ‘the multiplication table; the most successful teacher is the one who. know;s how best to. impa;'t instruction and -at the same time 'enforce discipline in the school. My observation | is that but few of the teachers who attend the institutes take any part in the proceedings. Make all take part and drill. each and all of them. Mr. Skinner-is an old and snceessful teach--er, and he knows what is needed, and let me say to him that the public have great expectations of him. :

: _VTHE B. P, & C, R. R. o has been doing alively business lately in slaughtering cattle: no less than “half ‘a dozen near this place in tWQ days have been run over. It is not true that-a certain man in town is buying up all the old crow baits and turning them out on the railroad to be killed, so that he can collect a good round sum on each one thus slaughtered. S THE FOURTH. i Preparations are in progress to obgerve the “gelorious” Fourth at this place in a becoming manner. Why not?

[ Fitz Hugh Lee, son of the gread Rebel Chieftain. The Maryland Regiment, _composed entirely of confederaté soldiers, were the recipients of a grand ovation; so too was it with ‘all the military organizations present from the South. . This feeling might have been brought about years ago between thestwo sections, but for the cursed carpet-baggér supported by the entire power of Grant’s military government. But next year will be a presidential year, and the carpet-bagger will have concocted a grand conspiracy tooverthrow the government, and. this will necessitate strong m easures. 1876 should be a jubilee of peace and good feeling, of patriotism and forgiveness. The North and South will close up the chasm in good earnest style if let alone.

g PROF. PICKET, the “celebrated phrenologist,”although I confess I never heard of him before, honored our place with a visit which resulted disastrously to the renowned professor. . He tried his hand on one of our citizens, and his delineations were so wide off the truth, and the audience gave him so to understand, that the profegsor was, to use brother Beecher’s phrase, “struck dead and his usefulness égded,” The man of science lit out nex{ day for I.agrange, promising to return again soon. - But I fear_we will not soon see his faee agaih. - L

' A SQUARE BACK-DOWN. Refusal of the Seventh Day Advent- _ ists to Discuss the Sabbath s Lo Quetion) 0 ~ During the last three or four weeks several ministers, calling themselves Seventh Day Adventists, have been holding a series of meetings in a tent at this place, in the progress of which they have repeatedly and unqualified1y ehallenged contradiction on'various points of their peculiar doctrine, and especially on the Sabbath question. At length a nmpber of our citizens concluded to invite them to meet the Rev. A. Walker, of Kokomo, in a public discussion of the following proposition, which was submitted to the Adventists and promptly declined: ) Do the Scriptures teach thiit the seventh day Sabbath is to be observed by Christians throughout the Gospel dispensation ? . - : The Adventists having positively refused to meet Rev. Mr. Walker in joint discussion, that ‘gentleman will commence a series of lectures on “The Sabbath” this (Thursday) evening, in the Christian Church, and will coptinue at least four days. Everybody should turn out and hear the man whom the Adventists. will not meet in joint discussion. 5 Bl

The Board of Health of:Ligonier recommended the adoption in that town of the use of earth closets and the abolition of the erdinary privies as an intolerable nuyisance.
