—OQur exchanges all over the eountry, are recording robberies of private houses, and there is much appearance of tan organized gang in that line.

EpiTor BANNER:—IL beg leave to eall your attention to a little matter that ought not whoily to escape public attention. There is a certain class of individuals in Ligonier who on every possible odcasién roundly -abuse the Jews. I find, also, that sqme of these same individuals are doing all in their power to throw obstacles in the way- of . erecting the -contemplated High School Building, by encouraging’ and inciting opposition to that project. On the other hand, these muchabuséd Jews, 'who are among our heaviest tax-payers, cordially sustain ' that project, thus lending their influence in the direction of‘progress, enterprise, aqd the educational facilities of this“commurﬁity. I desire to ask, now, who are the most beneficial citizens to ‘our 'town—these . “damned Jews,” who have made Ligonier one of -the best markets in Northern In--diana, or these habitual growlers, who not; only do.nothing themselves to. build up the town and give it prestige, but actually use what little influence they_possess to embarrass our school authorities in the noble work they have commenced, viz: erecting a School Building that will do more toward attracting!to our midst men of means, character and enterprise than. could be hoped for through'any other ageney, ./ . 4 B OBBRBVER.

Sheet and Pillow-Case Parties. ~ln response to an inquiry through the columns of THE BANNER, several weeks since, as to the manner of conducting what are styled “sheet and pillow-case parties,” the Columbus Democrat furnishes the following interesting information; “Sheet and pillow-case parties,” called by some “phantom,” are mask parties, and thus named from the fact that white only is used in masking. The body is enveloped -in ;a sheet or garment of white material, something after the style of the Roman toga, the head being stuck into a pillow case, with two openings for the eyes-and an aperture for respiration. A large party thus dressed presents & novel appéarance, and of course, the participants'are as effectually masked as they could well be. The fun consists principally in this, that one very frequently makes love to one’s own wife, and that one’s wife leans up to him in the most sen timental way, all through a mistake of course, and that when_ they unmask and ‘discover themselves, they

- 'On Monday night of last week the bakery of Jacob Ganser, corner of Main and Mitchell streets, was burglarized by some chap who wore a moustache and a slouched hat. THe made his entry through the back door, having first removed a pane of glass thérefrom, thus enabling him to reach the bolt. In repeating the operation at the middle door, the baker, who slept in the front room of the basement, was awakened and confronted the would-be thief just as he entered the front room. . .Seeing ‘his chances for making a haul were rather slim under: the circumstances, he beat a hasty retreat. He now, no doubt, thinks himself a lucky cuss in having thus saved his precious carcass. ~ Our. energetic brewers succeeded during the late -cold snap .in flling their large ice-house on the banks of Bixler Lake.

The perpetrator of the fraud is Paul Gurt_fich, who, it will bé remembered,, made himself famous in the StanleyPrickett élection contést some years ago in this city. It appears that, Paul had a wholesals liquor establishment in Fort Wayne, and, becoming involved, his creditors threw him into bankruptey. AU. 8. oflicer seized his/stock: of liguors—twenty barrels, all labeled and properly stamped. DBut upon examining the contents, it was found that every barrel, instead of being filled with the ardent, contained nothing but pure—water! ror this new mode of advancing the thmperance cause, Paul is now proposed by some for.the Presidency of the Temperance Alliance.| Consent.

Her gentle, unassuming character, liberality of sentiment, kindness of. heart, ready sympathy in the woes and afilicfions of her fellow creatures were ever prominent. In the character of this amiable woman were sweetness of ‘disposition and ‘gentleness of temper, dignified by great soundness of judgment and rendered the more valuable by tgle meekest and and mildest humility. Her advice, though never obtruded, was never followed by repentance. Are not then these ‘tears due, which inereasing, flow from him who best knegv her worth? And her fond, almost adoring children, and tenderly attached friends. Deus misereatyr nobis. : : S

Visit THE SCHoOLs.—Prof. ‘Burrier, the efficient: superintendent of our public gcl)oois, has frequentiy and urgently requested parents to visit the schools. Ie has an object in view in thus soliciting the attention of school patrons, and which, perhaps, cannot be better set forth than by the following item from the Martinsville Qazette : = R

None but the teacher rea%,izes, the ben¢ficent effects of frequent visits from parents and guardians to the school. © They stimulate tlie teacher to greater efforts, and encourage the pupil to more diligence. Nothing lielps more to make children take an .interest in themselves than to be fully ‘persuaded. that their parents take deep interest in their progress. Do not come to school especially on Friday, or thé last day, but come on Monday or Tuesday, or-any day when y‘ou can spare an hour or two, and see. the every-day-workings of your school. Teachers and school officers can do much, but they eannot perform the duty you individually owe your chil‘dren and your neighbors., The value of a friendly visit and an encouraging word from each patron of the school once or twice during the term cannot “be told. Without it the record is incomplete, and the school is partially, rat least, a failure. - :
