This horse was considered the best of the importation, was six years old, and weighed 2;100 pounds. He took a large nimber of premiums in Scotland as well as in this State.” ~From the Goshen Z'imes of last week: “ITon. Geo. W.Chapman, of Ligonier, was in our city on ‘Tuesday, being on his way home from Wars&’w, and favored us with a call.

—The large number of farmers who made their appearance in town yeste‘rday had a pleasing éffect upen the countenances of our merchants. For weeks, if not months, these visits were comparatively few in number, and business suffered greatly in consequence. Now, that theroads have once again become passable, a general revival of business activity is fondly an‘ticipated. e o —Every man ought to take his. county paper. ‘The cost of the paper is no excuse for not taking one. Not a week passes but that five times the amount is spent foolishly, which, might have much better been invested in a newspaper. It buys more reading matter than twenty dollars will purchase in the shape of books. A man miay read books all his life, but if he fails.to read th%vpapexfs he may be called ignorant. - Without a news‘paper a man is virtually out of the world. 8o says the Boonville Bnquirer and THE BANNER is enabled to -vouch, for the fruthfulness of the aver-

- HARD TO BEAT.—The Smith broth‘ers—Joseph, Steve, Abram, Jesse, and a nephew—of Elkhart township, were in town a few days ago. -When passing upon the sidewalk they were met by many who would remark what an amount of flesh and how much they looked alike. Thinking it best to weigh, through the kindness of Sack their weight was soon ascertained—the five turning the. beam at 1,024 pounds, a general average of 205 pounds. Bring in your fat stock. :

A great many of them say they are too poor to even take a paWer‘ We say toyou that you cannot ‘afiord to be without at:least one good inewspjaper and some good agricultural journal. The information obtained from two such papers, if put to practical use, will, in the course of the year, pay back in dollars and cents more than twenty times what they bost. The farmers, on an average, work ‘with tlhieir hands too many hours a day. We: have said before that brains will outstrip hands e)rery day in the week. Think, plan, and after your plans are maturely laid, let :noth_ing‘ detel‘jgyou from carrying them to a successful conclusion.” .

| —The following, in -relation to a late resident of Ligonier, will be read with some degree of interest by a number of our ‘citizens. We quote Lgom'last week’s Goshen Z'imes: “Mr. D.. M. "Reynolds, manager of the Goshen Toy Company, ias moved to our city with'his family and men, and is ready for operations. The ‘company will manufacture their goods at Drake & Davis’ mill, on-thie hydraulic canal, and their sales-room and office are located in Walker’s building (Latta’s block) opposite. the Presbyterian church. They will manufacture picture frames,brackets, toy cribs, cradles, bedstea_ds, bureaus, tables, fancy goods, etc., and will sell at wholesale and retail. They are prepared to do all kinds.of upholstering and to frame pictures to order.. We are glad to see this new addition to the businessinterests of our city, and hope the Goshen Toy Company will meet with abundant success.” . -

. —The following, from the Vin cennes Sum, serves as a hint as to what ought to be done'in Noble county. The? evil complained of affects this county as badly as it-does’ “old Kiiox,” ‘and our people ought to do precisely that which the Swn recommends for its own locality: “If any people -in the world should make an effort to have good roads built it is the farmers. of Knox ¢ounty. During half of this winter it has been impossible to reach the city with a.loaded wagon. The farmersand the business mé‘xi of -the city are largely interested, and they should give the subject careful attention. They ought not to grumble at a road tax if there is a probability of having Dbetter roads. Our road law as it exists now on the statute books is a farce, a dead letter, and it should be repealed and a betfiel' law enacted. We hope this matter will be thbroughly canvassed, and next winter when Mr. Viehe goes to Indianapolis he will make an effort to have this matter remedied. ‘At present the working of roads is a humbug.” . ° L :

Hl"ursua_nt to a call issued in TnE% BANNER, a number of Demoecrats of Wayne township assembled at Kendallville on Saturday last for the purpose of electing delegates to the State convention to be held on the 19th of this month.

The following gentlemen fi{fare then, chosen to represent ' this township in said convention: Q. D. Willet, Henry Wakeman, John Gallup and J. W. Learned. Upon motion of Mr. Frink t;'he above delegates were requested, iu case any of them should be unable to attend, to appoint an alternate in their place.

[ THE JEWISH PASSOVER. » ' 0 Its 'obse"anée Among the HeS ‘Brews. - Mazoth and How They Are Made: With the setting of the sun last Saturday evening (the 14th of Nisan) began the great Jewish™ festival of the Passover, and the Jews of the whole world celebrated the anniversary of the delivery of their ancestors from Egyptian bondage and the birth of the Jewish nation, Originally celebrated by the sacrificing of Passover lambs, the Passover has‘always been the most important of the Jewish festivals; since the destruction of Jerusalem and the overthrow of the Jewish polity, prayers have been substi-. tuted for sacrifices, and these, together with total abstinence froth work on the first and last days of the festival, and the eating enly of unleavened food during the eight days of its duration, .constitute the present observances. ; : ; X

Saturday evening every J ewish family in the land assembled to usher in the festival with the home services, which-may be described briefly as follows: The members of the family gather around a table on.which are placed in one dish three unleavened cakes, in another a shank bone of a ghoulder of a lamb roasted brown and in a third an egg roasted hard in hot ashés. The bone is to ‘commemorate the paschal lamb and the egg is to signify that it was to be roasted whole. Bitter herbs and a cup of vinegar are used to commemorate the bitter suffering of the Jewish slaves in Egypt and the passage over the Red Sea. The cakes, bitter herbs and raisin-wine are eaten and drank at different stages of the reading of the services, which consist of a history of the Egyptian bondage and the delivery of the Jews therefrom and a few psalms, all written in the purest Oriental metaphor and recited in Hebrew by the assembled company. On this occasion every Jew keeps openhouse, and no one | would refuse a place at his table to any co-religionist who had not the means to celebrate the festival elsewhere. Even the Jewish servanis are admitted to the table with their masters on this occasion, for they all, the rich and the poor, the high and the low, were rescued from the Egyptians by the same hand, at the same time and in the same manner. - -

ALL ABOUT MATZOTII. The unleavened bread, or matzah, which constitutes the chief article -of food among the Jews during the P»_assover, is a flat, plain biscuit, such as was eaten by -the ancient Israelites when they left Egypt in a hurry and, having no-time to leaven their ‘bread, had to bake it as best they icould.— There are fifteen matzah factories in New York city alone, which, together, turn out about 1,500,000 pounds a year. Of this alarge quantity is sent-all over the country, to California, to the South and to the West Indies. The manner of making matzoth is very simple: The overseer (or shomer) takes the flour. and water and mixes them thoroughly; an assistant then takes the dough and beats it out flat; it js next rolled through three machines to reduce it to the proper thinness, and a fourth ‘machine cuts it: into round cakes which are put into an oven, two or three hundred at once, and just baked through. The matzoth are sold at 8 cents a pound, and as every adult persons eats from eight to ten, or one pound, a"day, they prove rather expensive to poor people. ,The flour used in matzoth is of a medium qual-. ity, and- as the manufacture of them is very simple there used to: be considerable profit in the: business, but recently competition has spoiled the trade, and mat]oth are now sold two cents a‘pouild less than they were last year. Other articles of Passover food are matzah flour, which is made by ggixlding fine broken matzoth, and sells for 10 cents a pound. This is used for puddings, pastry and fer that delicacy of the German-Jewish cuisine known as matzah-kloese. TFor children who are too -young to eat matzoth, cakes are made of the finest potato flour and without leaven, specially for Passover use. The matzah bakers begin work evéry year on the Ist of February and continue at it till the day before the festival. . = .

“ The New Albany Ledger-Standayd says: “There are thirty-six daily newspapers in Indiana, sixteen of which are democratic in politics. There are also tliree hundred and .ten weekly papers in the Stute, one hundred and forty-seven of which are of the same politics. Of the democratic dailies the Lafayette Dispatch and Indianapolis Sentinel are the only papers that advocate Landers’ claim for the governorship. ~Among the democratic weeklies four .are for - Landers, the balance against him. When it comes to radical papers, there is scarcely one daily |or weekly that is not battling desperately for the bolting demagogue. True and tried democrats want a pure, clear grit, consistent and able man to head their ticket and none other.”

A gentleman one evening was seated near a lovely woman, when the company around him were proposing conundrums to each other. Turning to his comipanion, he said. “Why is a lady unlike a mirror?” She “gave it up.” “Because,” said the rude fellow, “a mirror reflects without speaking, but a lady spéaks without reflecting.” “And why. are you unlike a mirror ?” Asked the lady., He could not tell. “Because a mirror is smooth and polished, and you are rough and unpolished.” '

“ A Great National Work. The Oentennial History of the United-sute% from the discovery of the American Continen! . to the close of the First Centufy of American Independence, By JamesD. McOabe. Author of A Manual of General History,” *‘The Great Republic,” Etc., Ete. . = ; There has long been a . great and ‘universally-felt want of a History of the United Sta}les suitable for general use. This want is now being supplied by The National Publishing Co., of Chicago, who has issued a handsome volume, styled “The Centennial History of the United States,” by James D. McCabe, a well-known. historical writer. This;work will, undoubtedly, take rank as the Standard History of the United States. It is no dry mass of details—no bombastic effort to inflame the national pride, but is a clear, vivid and brilliant narrative of the ievents of our history, from the discovery of the American .Continent down to the present time. 3lt-t;rag:es the evidences of that mysterious race, the first eccupants of our cotintry, and gives a most interesting account of the Indians of North America, from the time of the coming of the white men. The voyages of Columbus, the explorations of the different nations of Europe and the final occupation and conquest of the land by England, are told with. graphie power. i ' Every step of our colonial history is traced with patient fidelity, and the sources of those noble, and we trust, enduring - instructions - which have mode our country free and great, are shawn with remarkable clearness.— The causes: of our great struggle for Independence are told with a logical force and ability unsufpassed -in any work of the day. Then follows a. clear and succinét account of the formation of the Federal Constitution; the establishment. of the Union; the course’ of affairs until the breaking out of the second war ;with England; and a full and compreliensive account of that war and its results.. The events of our career from. the close of that contest to the. commencement of the civil war, follow in their order. The history of the civil war is related with intense vigor, and with a strict, fidelity to truth. The author pleads the cause of no party or section. He states facts, points out the lessons which they teach, and appealing to neither passion nor “political feeling, trusts to the good sense of his, countrymen to sustain his views. The book contains an appendix, giving an account of the approaching Centennial Exhibition. g

It is comprised ‘in one large, handsome octavo volume of 925 pages, and containg 442 fitie engravings on steel and wood of historical personages and scenes. The price is so low that all ean afford to purchase a copy, and each. subscriber is presented with a superb lithographic engraving of the Centennial - Exhibition Buildings and Grounds. It is sold by subscription only, and the publishers want agents in eveéry county. : Ll ‘Mr. E. McDannel has the agency for Ligonier and vicinity, and will call upon our citizens within the next few days and soli¢it subscriptions. -
