—A freight train on the B. &O. road broke in two‘at Miller’s, Tuesday of last week, and owing to the violence of the storm sweeping in from the lake, it was not discovered until the forward part reached South Chicago.” Fortunately. the track was clear of trains at the time and no further accident resulted.

—Our esteemed young friend, Geo. J. Carter, writes us from Ann Arbor that he will remain there a while yet to complete his chemical studies. He adds that in order to get along so far from home he “must have THE BAXNER.” Certainly. Noexemplary young man or well-regulated: family can get along without THE BANNER. | —The .following from the InterOcean is worth pondering over by those smitten with the fever: “Itseems to be generally agreed by'all parties: in the Black Hills, that no person will find gold plenty and obtain it without laboring hard.for it.” This coming from a paper which has, from the start, advertised the Hills as the new Ophir and Eldorado, is significant. : —Elder Ira Chase, of Peoria, Illinois, delivered a very interesting lecture at the Christian Church last evening. His subject was “The Jewish ' Tabernacle.” -This evening he will deliver another lecture wpon the same subject. All "are invited to come and hear this eloquent divine.

—Eastern papersare warning young ladies against letters - that have been sent” out from Philadelphia,. signed Hayes, Arlington & Bro., offering them from eight to fifteen dollars per week, meals included, to come to that city - during the ‘centennial to tend news stands, and to perform other light but genteel work. The letter adds, “you must not let your parents know that you are coming. This you can better- do after you-get here.” Young ladies will do well to give no heed to such letters. The object most likely -is to betray them'into wicked hands; - e S

—All persons who occasionally send papers or-other documents to their friends, will be pleased to learn that on Tuesday of last week the postage bill- was reported upon favomgly by the Senate Postal Committee. Itmakes a needed and much” demanded reduection in' the rates of postage on newspapers and other transient matter. The hill establishes a uniform rate of one cent on every three ounces or less of transient papers or magazines, and one cent for every additional. two ounces. - For third-class matter, one cent per ounce for any Qistanee not exceeding one thousand miles, and two cents for distances over one thousand miles. - ; : .

—On Tuesday of last week, Sheriff ; Miller took five young Goslien burglars, who had been sentenced to varying terms in the Northern Penitentiary, to Miehigan' City. In noting this fact, the South Bend Register took occagion to remark: “Two or three of these young men are sons of highly respectable people, but for a long time past have led lives of indolence and general cussedness, and their present consignment to the penitentiary is but a natural sequence. With one or two exceptions it is net that they have lacked - opportunities: to become respectable and useful members of society, but is a direct result of a pows erful indisposition to work and association with low characters of both sexes. It forms a lesson which not only the rising population of Goshen, butof all other towns, may well heed.”

- —The progressive citizens of Green township are agitating the graded school question. . e _—Segner has moved his barber-shop. two!doors further south, in the place formerly occupied by “Chub.” : —Sheriff Eagles will move into the new jail to-day..

Meredith’s four sermons on the Sabbath question. Sail in, Dr. Lol e | —David Simmons, Milt Chapman’s right hand bower in the hardware business, will remain with E. B.

—W. K. Sheffer has been appointed corporation assessor, and is now ‘hard at work listing the taxables of Ligonier -for corporation purposes. % —We have an idea that Judge Tousley will-be able to bear the spiteful inuendos that the Kendallville Standard may see fit to thrdst upon him. — Noble Circuit Court adjourned on Tuesday evening.

F., are requested to meet at the Hall next Saturday evening, to determine matters pertaining to the approaching anniversary celebration at Goshen. e

—D. W. Green has quit housekeeping, and now takes his “hash” at the table of Henry Gates, who last Monday became occupant of the Green mansion—ane of the plgasantest and most convenient homes in Ligonier. —John Sommer, the Breyv"er, spent several days in Ohio last week. He informs .us that the roads in Stark county were simply horrible. In some localities they were so badly damaged that horses would sink so deep as to render it extremely difficult to extricate themselyes. L --'J. M. Chapman will remove to Albion as soon as he can get a suitable house to live in- and the roads become passable. ‘We can’t help but think that- Milt has made a wrong move in shaking the dust of Ligonier off his feet.- Still, we hope his fondest expectations may be realized. - —We should like to hear from our farmer friends what they think of the proposition contained in the article headed, “Farming or loaning money—which is the best occupation ?” in last week’s BANNER. A few words from some of our énergetig farmers on that topic would doubtless be read with interest, CraßLm :

.~Uncle John Prough, of Lagrange county, brought to this market, one day last week, seven pigs, 414 months old, and corn-fed only four weeks, that weighed 1477 Ibs. If anybody can beat this, let them trot out their pigs. And if any of our farmer friends want to secure some of the same stock, Uncle John will acconi‘modate them at reasonable figures. . —Judge Clapp has cogfracted with qur popular marble dealer, Mr. C. V. Inks, for a Scotch Granite Family: Monument, to be erected in the Skinner Cemetery, Jefférson township.— The monument will stand near fifteen feet high; and will be one of the finest in Northern Indiana. Mr. Inks has superior facilities for the importation of Scotch Granite, and is consequently enabled tp offer better bargains than any of his rivals in Northeastern Indiana. o ;

+ —The greenback meeting of R. F. Trevellick, in Kann’s: Hall on Friday afternoon was attended by a small but attentive audience. There were probably thirty persons in attendance. Mr. Trevellick was introduced by Mr. C. B. Darrow, who accompanies the “workingmen’s champion” in his canvass of the Thirteenth District. The speaker occupied about two hours in the delivery of his lecture. In the evening he spoke again,‘to a larger audience—Mr. Darrow opening the exercises -with a statement of his views on the currency question. 'As both gentlemen occupied about the same ground covered at Lagrange, we refer our readérs to a review of their arguments bythe Lagrange Standard, which will be found on the first page.

—The Kendallville Polecat is unfortunate in its pretended quotation of Judge Tousley’s remarks during the fixing of the issues in that libel suit. It doesn’t tally at all with what the Judge did say on that occasion, to-wit: “Now, they (Myers’ counsel) admit their client to be a perfidious skunk; hence I claim they have no case, for it is very evident that a skunk cannot commit perjury.” We are forced to admit this to be good legic; and as Myers failed to put in an appearance when all this transpired, we will set him an example of neighborly magnanimity by giving him the benefit of ‘this portion of our reportorial notes. We liardly expect thé favor to be properly appreciated or reciprocated ; yet, in justice to all concerned—the skunk -included—Myers ought to promptly ‘substitute the true for the forged veri gfikof; Judge Tousley’s pointed re-

l - ROME CITY ITEMS. ~ Where, oh, where, are the many cor‘respondents of THE BANNER ?” “Sun‘ny Side,” “Hawpatch,” “Cromwell,” “Albion,” “Yprk,” “Avilla,” “Swan,” “Green Centdy,” “Noblesville,” &., are all as silent as the dead hours of night. Kendallville, Rome City and Columbia City alone hold out faithful. Even our little. sister Wawaka has buried its talent, -and that bustling little village of Brimfield gave us one noble gush and then was heard of no more. Why is this so? Is it because the places above mentioned have no news of importance, or is it because the correspondents have become careless and gone to sleep? If the former is the cause we will readily excuse; but if the silence is from the latter cause we will say, “awake, thou. that sleepeth,” and let yourselves be heard from, and thus confer a great favor on your own town and vicinity, as'well as all’ the readers of THE BANNER.

. T. P. Kesler’'s new saw-mill has as yet failed to put in an a.ppearanée in our town; but we learn that the animal is still mud bound. That’s what's the matter. @ ek

l' Mr. C. L. Watson, ‘the traveling ~agent and correspondent of the New Era, has been making our town quite a visit.' He gobbled up several new ‘subseribers, appointed a good local correspondent, and supplied himself with local notes, from which we look for a red hot letter in the Era this week. Mr. W. is alive Yankee, and he seems to think thatour townisa near relative to the garden of Eden. - Mr. Phil. O’Donnell, formerly chief manager of the carding and spinning department of the ' Magnet Woolen Mills, has returned from' Zanesville, Ohio, whither he had gone, as we learn, to take his eriginal position on a more extended scale. Phil. is a “boss” workman, a master mechanic, and those under his supervision may: ex_fiépt to muke things move. If Phil. is a delegate froem Michigan City he never wore striped clothes. i Dora Lane has bought: a farm near our city upon which he intends to move in a few days. He proposes to educate- his boys on a farm. Dora thinks he has struck a bonanza. His farm has a large orchard, consisting of apple, peach and cherry trees, and a considerable amount of yellow willow for summer purposes. The low land is well “ timbered ” with marsh hay, and should the season prove favorable he will no doubt make ® good thing out of the frog crop. We wish Dora the very best of: luck, and think he has done a “good’ thing. 4 -The Dramatic Troupe rendered their first play at-the Temperance Hall on Friday evening last. They had a full house, and everything . passed off pleasantly and satisfactorilyl. It was a financial success as well as a budget of fun, and for the first effort was -quite creditable to the managers. We have not. space to particularize nor criticize. We ‘will only say that when old Frank Acorn was marched off to jail by his brother George, his daugh‘ter Mary, weeping and praying her | uncle to have pity on_' her poor old. father, it was not particularly appropriate, in our opinion, for the orchestra to play “Home, Sweet Home.” Dr. William Rabey, of our town, will return in a day or two to Wolcottville, from whence he came. It is so very healthy hereabouts that the doctors have a hard time of it. : Some of the members of the Masonic Lodge of our town attended the funeral of W. A. Ruggles, at Kendallville, on Sunday last, and report that the ceremonies- thereof were exceedingly well conducted, , ; Quite a number of the Temperance Lodge of this place have the dramatic fever, but indications are that it will nut prove fatal. But we think it will be safe to predict that there will be another show here about the first of May. -= - - We had no idea of créating a muss by saying that there were applicants asking for admittance into the Good Templar Lodge. Indeed, we promised not to tell it, and don’t intend to; but in consideration of that fact, we want | it understood that if we ever attempt to join that lodge and get black-balled, ‘we don’t want everybody in town to throw it up to us next. Would you? . Where, oh, where are the Grangers ? | We ask this for the berefit of Frank Landers, J. W. Leal, ’Squire. Corbin and others. Gentlemen, work while ’tis day, for the time cometh when it will be too late. This is our produetion, for which the editor «will not be ‘held responsible. 2 =& April 3, 6. - ALEXIR.

- NOBLESVILLE NARRATIVES. | It has been some timesince I wrote any items for THE BANNER, for the reason; that there has been nothing of importance to note, but, once again I shall endeavor to give the news from this neighborhood:’ =~ - | - Quite an agcid'ent occurred nearClint Freeman’s last week, the par-

ticulars of which, as near as I have ‘been able to learn, are ag follows: While Henry Winebrenner and some members of his family were en route to Ligonier, and when near the above named place, the hold-back pin at.the end of the tongue came out, causing the wagon to run against. the horses, which became unmanageable and ran over a steep embankment, throwing Mrs. Winebrenner and her son’ William out, bruising Mrs. W. about the head pretty severely, and breaking William’s arm between the shoulder and the elbow; Dr. Moore, who was attending Dr. DePew’s patients while the doctor was attending his trial at Albion, was in attendance as soon as possible, and dressed William’s broken arm, after which he was conveyed to his home in Green township. : : =

The sad intelligence reaches us from Kansas that Jacob Stonér, who, only 4 few ,years ago, was a resident among us, is dead. The neighborhood in which he resided loses a kind citizen—one that was loved and honored by all who knew him. ; Simon Benhower has sold his property in this place to Dr. Moore, Wwho contemplates ‘bringing a drug store here. Thi§ will be another improvement in our littleburg. =

* It is again rumored that we are going to have' a flouring-mill in this place. We hope this ‘'may: prove true this time, as a mill is greatly needed in this locality; and a better prospect can I}Ot be foundin I}{orthernlndiana.

Mr. ——, why did' you leave your blouse at the Widt)w; Gandy’s barn? Were you in a hot place? - Poor, coatless fellow, you can get it if you will only call on Mrs. Gandy and own up, and promisé never to do so any more. She has washed it and put it in good condition for you. b

BELL RINGERs COMING.— Robinson’s Swiss Bell Ringers and Classical Concert Troupe, will give one of their grand entertainments at Kann’s Hall, Ligonier, Saturday evening, the Bth instant. = This troupe comes very highly recommended by the press, as giving a first-class entertainment and being worthy of public patronage. They have ten first-class performers, a splendid silver cornet band and orchestra, and a full troupe of bell ringers. Mr. J. R. Field, the popular and well known humorist and facial delineator, is with them; also, Bessie Field, serio-comic vocalist, and Miss Henrietta, the celebrated English $O- - vocalist. Our exchanges speak in the highest terms of this troupe, and we trust that our citizens will give them a full house. Admission, 85 and 25 cents; reserved seats, 50 cents. Reserved seats can be precured at Hoffman’s book store. . ‘

CHARLEY INKS, we feel confident Wil peruse the following item of important news with more than ordinary interest: b : H. L.

R. & 1. R.R.? If delivered there we will either sell them to ,thgt company or ship them around.and use them on “our Toledo line.” This goes to show very plainly that the company does not intend to build the road through Wolcottyille very soon, if ever.—ZLagrange Register. . e

About 2 o’clock Saturday morning a few of our citizens living in the immediate vicinity of the Bangér block, were startled from their ‘slumbers by the cry of fire, the which having been discovered in the clothing'house of E. J. Dodge, in the Banner blogk, by M. A. Hutchison and Charley Beckley, who sleep in the j’ewélljy store of Higginbotham & Son, but .lugkily had not retired - before the fire began. When first discovered the flames were fast climbing the wood-work and tapestry of one -of ithe large show windows, and playing sad havoc with the fancy goods in the window. A few wéllplaced buckets of water, howeyer, sufficed to extinguish the fire before it had caused any serious damage. Mr. Dodge’s loss in goods amounts to: $75; uninsured. The loss in plate glasg will-reach $200; insured. Had it not been for the timely discovery, it is possible, considering the lateness of the’ hour, that the Banner block might to-day be -numbered with-the things that were. The origiu of the fire is shrouded in unsolvable mystery. This makes the third time the ‘devouring element has paid its' compliments to this block, and we will be satisfied without further attentions from that source. “Three times ‘and outl? - B .
