o - A Sad:Aececident. . . " Oneof those terrible, shocking aceidents, the fear of which has time aud ‘again sent z;%lgrill through the héarts ‘of fond patents in this town, oecurred &Y the depot of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad last Saturday afternoon. A son of Thomas Carr, aged eight years, attempted to jump on the western-bound mail train as if ‘was pulling out from the depot, ‘and, missing his footing, was hurled from the platform of the second last car, and the trucks of the last coach passed over both legs, crushing them into a jelley. When picked up the boy did not at first seem to realize that he was seriously injured, and expressed |astonishment at the peculiar condition of his limbs. Soon after, however, he experienced intense pain, but remained ratioual to the end, saying that he would never again jump on a trg:izx if he got well. His death occurred about two and a-half hours after the accident. His remains were buried in the Salem Chapel graveyard on Sunday. The deceased. was a bright, active boy, and it is sadlly regretted that his rashness brought him to such a tragic death while he was yet in the bloom of youth. The practice of boys jumping on moving trains for a ‘ittle ride’ ‘has beconie go common here that the only wonder is, that such accidents are not more frequent. We' hope, however, thé sad occurrence of last | ?atl;;‘day will prove an abiding lesson o all, . : :

Wilden or Albert Osborne—the Democratic Central Committee decided last Tuesday to declare a vacancy, and placed in noniination Mr. Ira Jackson, of Benton township—a good, substantial farmer and very worthy/gentleman. —Some of our business men express an ‘earnest desire that the democratic county convention be held on some other day than Saturday. They say it would be next to impossible for them to leave their business on Saturday, and that any other day of the week ought to and probably would be satisfactory to the public generally. The people ought to manifest their wishes in this matter with sufficient cledrness to enable the committee to act” understandingly and satisfactorily. The columns of THE BANNER are open for a general expression on this subject. —Last Saturday evening a brilliant meteor passed over this section of the country and was witnessed by a number of our citizens. It occurred at about nine o’clock, being first visible near Cygne, and disappearing five degrees south of Ursa Minor. The earth ‘was illuminated by a greenish yellow light, as bright as that of a full moon. The illumination lasted, perhaps, ten seconds, the body finally disappearing in a blaish light. No sound accompanied the passage or disappearance. Its pathway was visible for half an hour after the meteor passed.

g A Fair Ofter. - A special: dated Sioux City, July 9th, sags in view of the present trouble in the Indian country and the terrible fate of Gen' Custer and his brave soldiers, the citizens of that city, last evening, met and instructed the chairman of the citizen’s committee to send the following message to the Secretary of War: “Sioux City tenders the government for: Indian service 1,000. men, with horses, saddles and bridles; and a transportation ‘train, to be ready to move within ten days of your acceptance of the offer. The feeling here is very bitter against the Indians, and there is no doubt that three times the above number could be raised here and in this vicinity for frontier service within the next three weeks.” : !

To 'add on Washington, Grant, or Tilden, would disfigure it badly. ' About 175 persons went from Cromwell to Albion on the 4th, your humble servant, Mollié, being included in the number, in company with several other young ladies. We boarded the 1: 14 p.

I would be pleased to give the readers of THE BANNER a full description of the proceedings at that place, but for fear of encroaching upon the space which the editor allots to us, we forbear. But we cannot Tefrain fron mentioning our visit to the new jail. It is really magnificent to behold. . But as we passed its gloomy cells| drinking in the solemnity of the unfortunate who was confined there for some ecrime, we could not help wondering whether misfortune would ever bolt us behind those bars.” The jail is a niee building, but we would not.care to be an inmate of its cells. After strolling through its halls until we became satisfied, we again returned to the Bradley House, from where we took in the amusements of the day, such. as the fantastics, or rag-amuffin parade, the balloon ascensions, etc.. 'There was quite a successful display of fire-works'in the evening, and by the time they were over the special train was due. here ‘which was to carry us home again..

MOLLIE. The Centennial Celebration at Chur- : übusco. Notwithstanding the terrible rain in the morning, at aliout ten o’clock the concoursé of people gathered in one grand procession and]- marched through the prineipal streets. They were led by Chase’s Silver Band, and ‘ on the second wagon were thirteen little girls, with erowns on their heads, intended to represent the original thirteen States. = Next to thig was the wagon oni which was placed the Goddess of Liberty and the Choir. The Band and Glee Club and little children furnished most excellent music while parading the streets. | In consequence of the wet weather, the procession then repaired -to the Town Hall, where the following programme was carried out: 3

~ ROCHESTER . RIPPLINGS. EplTorß BANNER:—AS Rochester is an ancient hamlet and lying adjacent to your thriving town, I thought prob‘ably some news items might be of interest to a portion at least of your numerous readers, and consequently utilize a few spare moments in recording some events that have transpired ‘here—important and otherwise. . . On Sunday morning last, at’ dbout five o’clock, an overflow of water from the dam ‘which supplies the -motive power for Messrs. McConnell & Lape’s flouring mill burst through the side of the mill-race, making a breach of some twenty-five or thirty feet ‘in width, through which the water flowed at a furious rate, emptying the race in an incredibly short-space of time. This accident has stopped the mill for the present, but the breach 'is being repaired and the mill will probably be running again by the time your paper has reached its readers. In the meantime Mr. Lape is busily 6ccupying himself in furrowing out’ the stones and getting things generally fixed up for a rush’ of fall work. vl

A case has lately come rnder 'our observation which partakes of the “love, intrigue,” ete. It appears that one of our fair damsels has excited in the breasts of two young men amorous attentions, but to one of them only does she reciprocate the tender feeling, and it is needless to add that the favored admirer is not the one whom the young lady’s parents endorse as a “proper nice young man.” A day or two previous to the Fourth each of these cupid-smitten swains procured from the County Clerk a passport to connubial bliss, and each document bore the name of the said coquettish young lady. The one hoped to obtain her through the persuasions of her parents, the other by means of an elopement. But the watchfulness of her parents prevented the latter, while her own preferences, combined with firmness, resisted the former. Both men are, therefore, disappointed, but 1 hope not to such an extent that it will- have any injurious effect. upon their health. 2y i i

~The harvest is now being gathered, and we hear‘the most favorable reports of the wheat crop. The corn crop, ::iso, bids fair to become one of abundance. Uncle Dan Amsden has almost closed in the first kiln that is to supply the brick for the high-school building at Ligonier, and it contains some of as fine machine-made brick as I have ever seen. T o

Mr. Donnenberger has suspended work on his brick-yard for a short time, to give his hands a harvest speH, but will resumein a week or two: The rains of the past month have been very detrimental to brick-making. '

We would like to call the attention of our Supervisor to the condition of the road between Ligonier and this place. ~ The road is sp low that every slight rain causes the river to overflow it, considerably impeding travel and making it especially unpleasant to pedestrians. = = v The Fourth was rather quietly observed here, nearly all our residents having sought other localities'in which to give vent to their patriotism. - el s - i JUNIUS JUNIOR.

—— e Pp— e A Love-Sick Hoodlum,

B. S. (Ligonier, Ind.) says: “I am in what appears ito me to be serious trouble, and as I have no friends te advise me, come to you, and will follow your advice., This is my situa‘tion: I have been paying my attentions to a young lady of this city for about eighteen months. About the first of January we became engaged to be married, and set the time the first of May. . Everything went well, as I supposed, until one week before the day set, when one evening, when we returned from a ride, she askéd me to have. the wedding postpened, to which I consented. She gave no reasons, and'l asked for none. Several times since I have asked' her to set the day, but she put me off every time. She rides, walks, and receives a great deal of attention from a young man from a neighboring town, and though I love her with all my heart, yet T think.l would be justified in giving her up. lam able te support her in good style, and she is old enough to'choose for herself. "She gives no reasons for her strange conduct to any of her friends. Now, Mr. Editor, 1 know you haveé a gaping waste-basket by you, but: please answer this, and relieve one who will ever remain grateful.”. She has no right o act in this way, and you will be justified in bringing things to a point and counting the engagement'at an end, unless she can give you a satisfactory explanation. . Possibly she wishes a choice of lovers.—N. Y, Ledger. -

If this young man had communicated his grievances to us instead-of submitting them«to the editor of the N. Y. Ledger, we would have dispés%i of his troubles quite differently. ~Without being invited so to do, we tender him- this bit of wholesome advice: Acknowledge yourself an egregious dunce, cool off your light head, partake abundantly of fish, pull down your vest, and wipe off your chin. The lady you complain of, evidently (and justly) regards you a silly donkey. The wonder is that she hasn’t told you 80 in plain terms, since you are too stupid to catch her meaning. Besides this, we take occasion to brand you a liar, Ligonier girls don’t ask for postponement_when the subject of matrimony is broached. They aren‘t that kind of spring chickens. -~ =

. The Belknap Impeachment, ‘A special from Washington, dated July 9th, says the impeachment trial goes forward with unexpected vigor, & fact due entirely to the well-prepared case of the managers, and the superior management of McMahon, of Ohio, who leads the case on behalf of the House. The trial, as it stands, is unmistakably fatal to Gen. Belknap: The appointment of Marsh; the transfer of the appointment to Evans; the receipt of regular instalments of money - from Marsh, beginning soon after the appointment was made; the’ indorsement of drafts; the full knowledge of rascally charges for goods made by Evans, the trader at Ft. Sill; the disregard .of complaints—these ‘have all been fully proved already against the ex-Secretary. But the telling testimony is not yet all in, and when it comes, if reports direct from the managers are to be believed. there will not be a plank for the defense to stand upon, The managers hoEpe to be able to examine Marsh and Evans to-morrow, in which case the direct examination on the part of the proseetution avill close not later than day after. i e L et Buy jyour Fruit Jars at Eldreds’ Drug Store, ' ’ Mo
