T | —We regret to say it, but truth must prevail. A great deal of drunk- { énness was observable upon the streets of Ligonier last Saturday.

- ROME CITY ITEMS. - Diep—at Rome City, Noble county, Ind, on the 14th day of July, 1876, of general debility, The Rome City Review. : 2 . The deceased was a good-looking, robust child when born, and when one week old looked fine and healthy. But as it grew in age there were visible marks of decline. 'When two weeks old it was discovered to be possessed of the same undergarments in which .it was dressed when it made its debut. At the end of the third week its voice . was very weak, and it was clearly discernible that the fingers of disease .were fastened upon its delicate form, and the fourth week it was not able tobeout. Ithas now collapsed—*“gone, up the flume.” The father of the infant lives at Sturgis, Mich., and the infant was intrusted to the care of its mother, or nurse, who lives in Walcottville, a village two miles distant, in anortherly direction. It is believed by many that the mother secretly de- | ‘sired the death of the.|infant that its remaing might thereafter be transferred to her native village. Howbeit; the child is now dead, and its remains are lying in state, in room No. 4 of this city, where a full view can be obtained at any time by peering through the glass openings of the case. which contains its lifeless form. It is prob- | able that an inquest will be held over the remains, and some even think that the mother, or nurse, may be prosecuted for infanticide. . : i

" The Rome City Review is ausgespielt. 'The Tildenites will no doubt rejoice over the demise of a Hayes organ, but i it will be very bad taste to rejoice over ‘the dead.. ; | The excursion train came from Ft. Wayne, as usual, last Sunday morning, arriving here about 11 o’clock. In the afternoon we concluded to take a stroll around the pic-nic grounds and take a peep at what was going on. Near the entrance of the bridge, at the west end and on our right hand, in the shade of some willow trees, we found an aged, gray-haired man, who, without the fear of God before his eyes, had a gun and target, with which he was furnishing the boys two shots for a nickel. On our left was a young man with a traveling candy factory. He manufactured his candy near the lake shore and had his canvas spread near the entrance of the bridge. He also kept cigars, ete., and his candies being fresh and nice, and having a number of juvenile clerks, we concluded that his business was lively, if not profitable. On crossing the bridge, we found the pic-nic grounds dotted over with visitors. - The crowd was not large, but all seemed to enjoy themselves very well. A crowd of young men -from' Kendallville were among the excursionists, one of whom was somewhat disposed to complain. He_ said they had left Kendallville with a reasonable supply of gin, but singe that was out the thing was becoming decidedly stale. He said he would rather have a saloon in Rome’ than to own Mitchell’s bank, but the people here were so pious they would not allow it. The small boats were all quite busy, and the lake was kept completely dotted over with them. The 'steamer Maple Leaf, under command of Commodore Richard, was kepﬁ quite busy and its squeal could be heard in all directions. The Commodore seemed to feel the responsibility resting-upon him and was everywhere present, looking after the condition of the vessel and the safety of the passengers. -Good order everywhere prevailed, although we ‘failed to discover a policeman on the ground. After looking the matter all over, we came to the conclusion that the old man with the fly-gun was the individual who was making the most clear money to the amount of capital invested. e i

In order to keep cool through the coming campaign, as well as to satisfy a “whereas,” placed in his hands by the Clerk of the Cireunit Court, Sheriff Eagles has levied on about two thousand tons of ice on the banks of our reservoir lake, and will sell the same at public auction, wunless redeemed before the day of sale. . . Capt. Josh Billings, of Ligonier, has ‘taken the stump for the republican ticket, and especially for John H. Baker. He visited Lagrange, Lima and Garrett last week, and reports favorably. { i v

Candidates for county offices are quite thick and very active these times. i We have been visited by a number of them, but still several are in default and yet 4o be heard from. The greatest anxiety‘ seems to be centered on the Clerkship. Our town has been visited by Messrs. George B. Teal and Joseph §. Conlogue on the one side, and Samuel E. Alvord and William S.. Kiser on the other. These are all good fellows snd we feel awful sorry that only one of them can carry off the prize. - Geo. B. Teal is eertainly unexceptionable. George is a nice nan, a clever man, an accommodating man, and, above all, he is a greenback man, which renders him eminently qualified. Joe Conlogue is also a very. nice fellow, a'good penman, a man of experience, and many say he would make quite as good a Clerk, if not a little briter than Mr. Teal. Mr. C.did not solicit our support and we did not find out how he is on the greenback question. We look for him back, however, to apologize and enlighten us on ‘that important topic, otherwise ‘he, will certainly fail in the nomjnation. Well, everybody knows Sam Alyord, and he is a tramp. He has filled that office once, and knows just how to do it. Sammy kicked off his political shackles two years ago and ever since has been a free man and feels better. [Well, he 'd better stay free, then, and not enslave himself by seeking a party nomination.—Ep.} Sam is an advocaté of greenbacks and is in every way as good and well qualified as either of the others. Will Kiser is a Liberal, one who went off on the Greeley train. He is n’t much of a politician—not Democrat enough to hurt anything, nor Republican enough to do any good. Will has been clerk in the Auditer’s and Clerk’s offices and ‘has the hang of the court house. ‘He would make an officer that mo one . One of our townsmen zom i otic on the Fourth that he tackled our l"‘%%""‘m to have whisky of blood, e, Hibbavd retused to lob

him have éither, and the final result was, he was invitéd by ’Squire Dixon to make a fogxation of $lO.OO. to the school fund, and with which he agreed to comply. Why did n’t he go to Wolcottville?

A large quantity of ice has been shipped from here to Cincinnati, and: elsewhere, during the last few days. ‘Mr. Jones’ saw-mill is now making railroad ties for T. P. Kessler. It has ‘been running but a few days and the ties are piled up mountain high. Mr. Jones informs us that, providing he can procure stiitable timber, he will start an extensive handle factory here. Those who have ash timber should report to Mr. Jones, and let the enterprise move on. - :

. Deacon, Highbargin is again installed as night-watch at the woolen factory. .His war club has never been removed and is again ready for seryice.. Mr. Wm. Clapham, of Ontario, this State, takes the place of Joe Craven as boss weaver. 4 Cobbs’ new brick residence.is about ready for occupancy. ' ’Squire Dixon’s water-works ele-. vates the water to the heighth of seventeen feet above the ground, on the premises of the Water Cure. How is that for high? L CAE RN,

: NAPPANEE N‘OTES. - The Sunday School conventien will be on the 16th 6f August. - The Bremen, Locke and Milford Sunday Schools ‘are to be here, and they -will make it a grand success. There will also be a balloon-/ascension on that day, and, of course, everybody will ‘want to come and see it. ' ‘

_ Our centennial building is getting along finely. ; : Lo Picking berries is all the go.now. Drs. Stuckman and Smith had a big hitch on politics, which brought quite a large crowd together. Both claimed to be right. 2 New buildings are still going up. Mr. Jacob Gary, we understand, is to have the nicest house in the Hawpatch when finjshed. We suppose he will then wear a plug hat. il i | : REPORTER. " CROMWELL ITEMS. Busingés is dijl_lﬁ nothing doing. Corn looks well in this vicinity.

~—Several of our citizens have visited the Centennial and returned home ~again. Last Friday Elder R.S.Groves ‘and €. E. Hoagland gnd wife returned, and.on Tuesday morning Mr. and Mrs. M. Marker arrived at home. All express themselves as having enjoyed the grea exhibition very much. We regret to state, however, that Elder Groves met with a serious mishap on his way home, and from the effects of which he was unable to fill his pulpit, at the Christian Church, last Sunday. He was about to take: the train at Painesville, O}, where he had stopped to visit friends, and hastily: stepping on board the train as it drew up to the railroad crossing, he discovered’ that he had got on the express’ car. He, therefore, concluded to get off again and take the first coach back, but in attempting to do,so (the train was still in motion), he was precipitated inlo an open cattle-brake, which he had not noticed, and received several frightful gashes and bruises about the face and head. Mr. Groves got , &board the train, however, and came on to Cleveland, iwhere his wounds were dressed.. He expects to fill his appointment next Sunday. S ~—Tuesday afternocn, our wondrous Town Council held one of its (now numerous) special meéfings. Theklec-

tion of a School Trustee, in place of Mr. Scott, was announced to be the purpose of the ‘meeting. Knappenberger and McConnell voted for E.J. Dodge, and Messrs. Wandel and ‘Wyland for D.S. Scott. Alex. McConnell then announced tha{t by virtue of his authority as President of the Board, he declared Mr. Dodge elected, and directeéd the acting Clerk to make an entry upon the minutes to that effect. Thus' ends this ridiculous farce, for the present at least. - As a matter of! course, Mr. Scott will pay no attention to this absurd proceeding, but . continue to . perform. .the dutiesof his ofiice until relieved'by a duly elected successor. The query among men of intelligence is whether we are really living in the i‘l:ineteenth century. e ~'That love-sick Hoodlum, whose effusion elicited a great deal of comment upon the . appearance of last week’s BANNER, now\wishq's he hadn’t sent that note of inquiry to the New York Ledger.- The absurdity of the i:]l}ing is now painfully transparent to lim. . 2 o

- Forepaugh’s Centennial Triumph. ' No show ever went béfore the public with such unqualified endorsement from the entire press ag Forepaugh’s. It is to exhibit here, giving two grand performances, on Saturday, July 29. Read what the Detroit Post of May 30th says ofif:: - Sty «Adam Forepatgh's colossal tented. show, with its gorgeous street parade, its long line of gaily painted _cgaarie'ts ‘ and cages, its mammoth pavillions, its army of men and horses, its huge niuseum of curiosities, its unsurpassed ccollection of wild beasts, and its care--fully organized circus department, put in an_appearance yesterday, and al-, though three years had elapsed sifice. .its former visit, the public, heaﬁﬁginf mind its former werits, gave it 'a generous welcome. The aftérnoon performance drew out a large audience, but just as the arenic sports ;were fairly under way the sky became overcast with black clouds and then almost without warning, the floods! came. What followed beggars de- | scription. The people kept the seats’ as long as possible, thinking that:it “wouldn’t be much of a showeér anylow,” and the performers continwed \their several acts until'the falling torrents rendered a stampede inevitable. Of course, with all this excitement, confusion and discomfort it was impossible to give a suecessful programme, but this was not the fault of the management, and in the evening when it cleared up, every effort was put forth to atone for the previous fiesco. There was a crowded can- | vas and, thanksto the forethought of Mr. Forepaugh, who had put down 4' tons of straw and 30 loads sawdust upon the wet and muddy ground, eve--rybody was very comfortable. The entire show gave complete satisfaction and may be pronounced themost extensive iand interesting ofits class exhibited in Detroit of late years. | The museum is full of curious and interesting objects, including wax fig-, ures, automatons, etc., the menagerie is a complete and valuable one, comprising rare animals enough' to;fit out half-a-dozen concerns of ordinary magnitude, and the ring performances could not well. be improved upon. The . arenic sports introduce a very large and excellent company, every member being a finished performer in his special line.. An especially: interesting feature is the introduction in the ring -of five elephants, which exhibit :wonderful docility:and sagacity, forming pyramids and executing a great variety of tricks under the guidance of their trainer; a young lad of about 15 years. . The conclud- | ing exhibitions of the mammoth show take place this afternoon and eveningj and with pleasant weather, they will be attended by thousands of people, The show is deserving of patron- | age on account of its magnitude ard merit, and because.the representations made by the manager are very faithfully carried out.” ° ! o
