The verdict was brought in Saturday afternoon. A motion for a new trial was imfhediately filed. Mr. Palmer’s friends counted largely upon an acquittal. His attorneys made a strong defense, but the jury very properly determined that-the “emotional insanity” dodge was a trifle too thin in this ‘case, and that redress-for grievances ‘resulting from offensive publications should be sought in some other way besides -that of shooting a man down in cold blood. i ‘ ..

. —The Kendallville SBtandard states that the editor of THE BANNER made another trip to Chicago last week.

Mrs.- Molloy enjoys an enviable reputation as a 4 most eloguent lecturess. —Hon. Geo. W. Chapman has purchased of Dr. Geo. W.

o WOMECITY. TIEMS, . - We have heretofore taken occasion to speak in praise of the officers and employes of thé G. R.&I.R.R. and to contrast their conduct with those of other roads, and we will now take occasion to speak more particularly of those immediately employed on this division. Geo. Lee is the oldest con-’ ductor on the road. . He run the first train from Ft. Wayne to Grand Rapids and has been a conductor on the road ever since. He is a good-natured, ‘ clever gentleman. Everybody knows .Geo, Lee. John J. Knox was former1y a citizen of Noble county and was ‘once engaged in the milling business ~at Port Mitchell. He has been a railroad man eighg. years and has been conductor on this road five years. He, like Geo. Lee, is kind and accommo‘dating and thoroughly understands his biz. J.N. Anibee is a remarkably good-looking young man, genteel and social, accommodating and kind. He has been a railroad man nine years; conductor on the G. R. & 1. road five years. 'P. W. Scott is a whole-souled, wide-awake young Scotchman (we should think of American birth.)' He has been' a railroad man fourteen years and conductor on the G. R. & I. R. R.four years. 'The above conductors are all gentlemen in every sense of the word, and true to their employes and the interests of the road. They never make iiistakes and never let a’ passenger sleep past his station without giving him a jog. Hart and Anderson, who are conductors on the morning ‘accommodation, as well as the several freight conductors, are all good fellows and are working themselves up;to notoriety upon the same magnanimous and generous principle. Our station Agent, Mi. F. M. Owen, | Mr. Humphreys at Kendallville, Mr. Bush at Vicksburg, as well as all others on fhe line with whom weé have become acquainted, are all genteel and obliging, and always ready to do all in their power to accommodate and make their customers comfortable and happy. We have the honor of having a personal acquaintance with superintendent J. M. Metheany, and | a partial acquaintance with J. H. Page, General Ticket Agent, and we know these to .be gentlemen of the highest order of talent. As a proof of the good management and efficiency of the officers and employes of this road, suffice to say that there havelbeen fewer accidents on this road than any other road of the same length in the United States, as statistics will now. | show. ; / -

Rabey & Son have abandoned ' the drug business and have vacated their store roofn, which is ow being refitted and overhauled and will shortly be . occupied as a billiard hall and drinking saloon. =~ ; - We learn from Dr. Wilson that our medical water cure institute is now a fixed certainty, and it only requires a little time to have the whole machinery put in motion. : s : The Wolcottville Register says “Dr. Crossman is the only person in town’ who fully understands the laws of Hygiene.,” How is this, Dr. Wilson ? Will you rise and explain ? The Wolcottville correspondent of the (now IL.agrange) Register informs us that the Rome City Medical Institute has commenced opeiratton and is now in readiness- to receive patients. This is an item of news which takes the Romanites somewhat by surprise, as it was not known here until the arrival .of the Regz'..s'tervi,‘ami some are still unwilling to believe it. ,

The Kendallville Standard, unintentionally of course, gives the G. R. & 1. R.R. Co. the credit for putting. fish in our lake.' For the benefit of the Standard and its readers, we wiil say that this was a private enterprise, brought about by a-few of our own citizens, assisted by a few other parties from Ft. Wayne, and paid fer by donations from their own pockets. The Dramatic Troupe will give an’ entertainment at Temperanc:e Hall tomorrow (Friday) evening. S .The singing class have removed their headquarters to the Baptist Chuarch. i S Rome will have a rﬁusi\citk suit at Albion this week.

- —Wae are in receipt of the first number of The Farmers’ Monthly, a neat sixteen-page journal, devoted to progressive farming, horticulture and home instruction. It is published at Plymouth, this State, by M¢Donald & Brother, of the Plymouth Democrat, and is under_ the editorial manage- | 'ment of the Hov. H. V. Reed, of the Restitution, and who will be remembered by our citizens as the man who 8o effectually upset the fallacious itheories of the Seventh-day Adventists by his three sermons delivered here last fall. The Monthly comes at #1 4 year, snd ought to receive a libel support trom our Hoosles farm-

In the case of J. B. Stoll vs. C. 0. Myers the defendant, by his attorneys, yesterday forenoon demurred to the ‘ecomplaint. The demurrer was overruled, the court holding that the defamatory communication published in the Standard was libelous ;ger se. Defendant’s counsel then filed an answer consisting of four paragraphs. The court; after hearing the arguments by counsel, entertained demurrers to two paragraphs of the answer, leaving in ‘she second a general denial and one paragraph in which the defendant alleges in mitigation of damages that ‘the libelous communication was published in his paper without his knowledge or consent! . A reply in general denial was filed, leaving the case at issue and ready for trial. :

_ln view of Judge Morris’ ill-health and Mr.Chapin’s engagements at home, a continuance of the’ cause, at their Trequest, was consented to. ; In the case of Myers vs. Stoll the ruling of the court on the plaintift’s complaint deaves it for the jury to determine after hearing the proofs whéther the matter upon which the suit is predicated refers to plaintiff’s management of the Kendallville Post Office or not. . :

* In the above causes Stoll was represented by Mitchell, Tousley fmd Knisely, and Myers by Morris and Chapin.

The Commissioners have decided to build a new school-house (so we learn),, the old one being too small to accommodate all. i As libel suits are becoming common, we may expect to hear of one in this place, unless things ‘turn out differently from what we predict. The Eel River railroad has changed hands. We understand that Joyce controls it, or the company ;of which he is boss. PR Speaking of railroads, we have a car-coupling which, if it comes’ into practical use (and which we will endeavor to bring about), will supply a want long felt. We think it is the “boss” coupling, though we do n’t lose any sleep o’ nights thinking of it.. We change the subject and sing: .

' Mr. Benson is the kind of a man that Noble county cannot well afford to lose. Since,however, that geutleman has decreed to return to the Buckeye commonwealth. THE BANNER extends its best wishes for his future prosperity. f —The death of Mr. Rysdyk’s famous stallion, Hambletonia~, is an.event worthy to be chronicled.. Apart from the fame that the descendants of the «old horse” won for themselves upon the trotting-turf, says the New York World, they have given an impetus to tock-breeding, .and have improved the grade of horses, notably in this vicinity, to an extent difficult to be measured hy-dollars and cents. Our enterprising friend and stock-breeder, W. W. Latta, has some very fine stock of the Hambletonian line. ...

'—Elkhart has a startling sensation in the finding of the body of a woman, name unknown, near Simonton’s lake, on Sunday night. Those living in the house say that she committed suicide, but it is feared that she was put out of the way because she knew too much of the peculiar death of a man at the same place recently. The man is known to have had considerable money before his death, but none was found afterward. Strong suspicion of foul play is held bﬁ' the community, and dn investigation will'be made.

—Commissioner Row, of Michigan, has canceled the autherity of the Lancaster Fire Insurance Company of Pennsylvania, to do business’in that State; also theauthority of the American, of Chicago, a company that lately received its walking papers from the Authority of lowa.
