$l5O for Litigation.

At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees ,oEF Ligonier, held on the ¢vening of. October 16th, the following action was taken, as per official record : -“I move that the President of the ‘Town Board of the town of Ligonier be authorized to draw on the treasure of said town of Ligonier for one hundred and fifty dellars to pay attorney’s fees and other ‘expenses in a cause now pending in the Noble Circuit Court against E. J. Dodge; Y. B. Meredith and John W, Mumma, present School Trustees of the town of Ligonier and also a suit a%ainsb Wm. Hart, Town Trustee of the town of Ligonier. (Signed) - : V. KNARPENBERGER. Said motion was seconded by Wm. Hart und put by the President. W. Knapvenberger and Win. Hart voting yea; J. W. Wyland and Wm. Wandel voting mnay. . President MecConnell gave the casting vote yea and déclared the bill allowed.” ke

|- A number of tax-payers of the town, believing that if Messrs. Meredith, Dodge, Mumma and Hart must involve themselves in law-suits, they sbould defray the expense attending the same out of their own pockets, caused an injunction to be served upon Treasurer Weir, “restraining - him from the.paymeu!t of any such order that may be presented by the President of the Board. At L

. Resignation of William Hart. To the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Town of Ligonier, Ind. : GENTLEMEN : — Having been appointed by your Honorable Board as a member thereof.from the Fourth ward of the town, to fill a vacaney in your said Board without solicitation on my part, and without any desire to occupy :the position, and which I reluctantly saccepted only because I believed it to ‘be for the public good that the vacaney ‘should be filled by some one who was favorable to the interests and welfare of our town and its people, and believing then as I now do, that I was legally and rightfully elected and qualified for the office, and desiring from my: heart only to protect the people’s intere§t,o I entered upon the performance of the duties of the office in good faith, and have ever since endeavored to discharge my duties in that capacity as an .honest man, and ‘in:the firmbelief that which I did was for the. interest and welfare of the public. Yet, I find that certain‘persons have instituted the beginning an action’ against me for the occupancy of the office. The position is one without any special honor, small pay, and in no wise desirable for anyone to hold. I have no desire to retain it, nor to serve the public in such a capacity, if there be -a single one of my fellow citizens who robject to my so doing, ‘while I am advised, and believe 1 -could hold the office.. Stil], I have no interest in either spending my time or money to retain an office of so little. consequence, and much less will I'ask or permit your Honorable Board, by my act, to spend the public funds:-and. tax the people to defray the expenses of a litigation| instigated by those not having the welfare of the people at heart, I therefore, hereby tender my resig.nation, to take effect immediately. | : - Thanking the members of this Board for their uniform courtesy toward me, while I have been serving with them, I am, yours truly, WiLrLiayM HART. LIcoNIER. Oct, 16, 1876. - :

An air of injured innocence pervades this effusion that s truly re-» freshing. Mr, Hart modestly assumes that those with whom he has acted are the sole custodians of the “interests and welfare of our town,” and that that very large and substantial class of citizens who fail to recognize any special propriet{v in prosecuting a useless and spiteful warfare against established facts, are actuated by motivesthe very opposite. THE BANNER does not care, about wasting its space. by entering into a discussion as to ‘ whether an appointment made by one 1 Trustee casting two. votes was “legal and rightfully made.” Mr. Hart says he believed “then” and believes “now”that the “duplex voting process” is entirely reconcilable with his deep-seated love for the people’s interests, even though such wanton exercise of undelegated power stands without a parallel'in the history of local or general legislation, . Buﬁ our conseientious exCouncilman caps tl%e climax when he proclaims his | aversion to taxing the people “to defray the expenses of a lit“igation instigated by those not having “the welfare of the people at heart”— and this in face of the fact that his last official act as a “member” of the Board consists in voting for the appropriation of one hundred and fifty dollars out of corporation funds to defray the ._expense of litigating three indiv:duals into office as School- Trustees. DBless your innocent soul, Mr. Hart; but from such regard for the #people’s interests,” the good Lord deliver us! -

KENDALLVILLE LOCALS.

~ Though the Lagrange county Democrats failed in making as good a showing at the recent State election as they themselves, as well as their neighbors, had hoped and expected, 1 am impelled to accord them the highest meed of praise for the magnificent ‘ demonstration which they made at Lagrange on Saturday last. Their jollification and barbecue was by far the largest and most successful demonstration witnessed ddring the campaign of 1876 in this part of the State. Gov. Hendricks, our next Viee President, delivered two speeches on the occasion—one in the afternoon: and another in the evening—and both were models of oratorical ability and power. I wish all the people of the Thirteenth District could have heard the Governor's masterly arguments. It would have done them good, and I doubt not ‘many a doubtful voter ‘would have become convinced of the propriety of voting for Tilden and Hendricks on the Tth of November. About 5,000 people partiéipated. The. free dinnér, consisting of roast pig and mutton, was swept'away with remarkable avidity. Pity that the provisions provided for the occasion did not prove ample to satisfy the crowd; but the good people ‘of Lagrange are not to be censured for the insufficiency of food, as no one anticipated so vast a gathering of the “honest yeomanry.” Theutorch-light procession in the evening was a grand affair, the torch-bearers humbering 350, all voters, except about a dozen boys who, I however, furnished their own torches.

Governor Hendricks stopped in this city over night, taking the early Sunday morning train for Chicago. He is inexcellent spirits, and feels entirely confident of a sweeping democratic victory on the 7th of November. The people of the United States may well congratulate themselves upon the flattering prospect of soon seeing placed @t the-head of the government two such able and- pure statesmen as Samuel J. Tilden and j[‘homas A. Hendricks. - :

| I must not forget'to mention that in .addition to Gov. Hendricks, Capt. Hill, a Liberal Republican of Michigan, also delivered a telling speech at the Lagrange jollification. It is.a genuine pleasure to listen to these éarnest‘meri who left the republican party on account of its appalling corxf‘uptiovn and scandalous management of gavernmental affairs, and who ﬁow so zealously labor for reform, pure-administration, better times, and complete.reconciliation: _All henor to these noble patriots. = _ Excursion fickets for the Centennial are sold here at $21.40, $22.40 and $23.40, according to route. Almost every train takes more or less centennial visitors from' this locality to the city of “brotherly love” and radical ring rule. " ! = An excursion party left ¥t. Wayne last Saturday for the Centennial; the fare being reduced to $l5 and sl6,and tickets good for Baltimore, Washington, New York; &c. A , ~ Our- city authorities have been making some needed imprm;rements on . Main street. There is abundant room for more of the same sort. -

.The sere and yellow leaf is falling, the precursor of old winter. The nights are getting cold and so are the days, ang the young and old chaps that are now contemplating about going into the woman-starving business had better hurry up their cakes oc¢ the gals might go back'on ’em. Mr. Jacob Reyher, who felicitated himself so .greatly before the late election upon his good luck in betting on probable xeslllts,“expe'rienced something of a reverse by trusting too largely in the invineibility of radical power.. llis losses by betting on the wrong side are said to be in the neighborhood of $5OO. | ’ The general opinion among Billy McConnell’s friends in this locality is that -the Steuben Democracy would have fared much better at the recent election if a straight-forward fight had been made for democratic nominees and democratic measures. The milk and water business, or straddling process, does not commend itself to men who fight for principle.

If, the : Kendallville Standard can induce its republican friends in the next Legislature to pass a registry law and restore the system of eleeting - township officers in the Spring (only every second year, however), it ‘will accomplish exaetly what Democrats are earnestly praying for, . Iregret tolearn that a number of farmers in this vic¢inity have sustained heavy losses from the prevalex;'ce of hog cholera. It issaid that hundreds of:valuable hogs have died from that " destructive disease in Wayne, Allen and adjoining townships during the past few months, Thinking that some good might possibly be done by giving publicity to certain| recipes that have lately come underi my observation, I beg leave to submit the following from the dmerican f/lgm'culturist: : “TAR A 8 A CURE rorß Hoe CHOLERrA.—Tar has frequently been recommended as a cure for hog cholera, which name is probably given to two or more distinect diseases. Our correspondent, F. L. Walker, of Casswell county, N. C., had such success, that we give his communication: ¢As soon as I find the hog is sick, I have it caught and thrown wupon its back, and take a ball of tar, a little larger than a hickory nut, on the erd of a small stick, and put it down the hog’s throat. and hold the hog until the tar is swallowed. I then cut off its tail or cut thé ear, although I don’t know that the blepding is an advantage, but think the tar is what effects the cure. T cured a good many very bzﬁi cases in this manner. Tar has beén given by rubbing it on the corn, but-in that ‘way I don’t think the hogs swallow _enough ot it ” o o

Calomel is also claimed to be an excellent remedy for hog disease. A correspondent of the Southern Farmer relates his experience in these words: - Fasn e

“Last fall I had a litter of eight choice pigs somewhat similarly attacked. They became shabby about the eyes and bones of the head, would eat minecingly, purge, cough, dwindle, and all died in from one to three weeks after the attacks, althoughl used various remedies, none of which seemed to have a good effect. Soon after these all died, one pig of another litter was attacked, and as an experiment I gave it about fiftéen grains

of calomel, and it got well immediately, and none of the others became affected. This spring, the same sow which lost her pigs last fall, had another litter, and when a few weeks old they' began with the bad symptoms, and two died before I thought -of the calomel. 'I gave it to four others affected, and aill got well. From these experiments and their suecess, I' deem their publication worthy the attention of the farmers. I notice the -same disease prevails among pigs in Ohio and other localities, and I have great Taith in calomel as a remedy, be the disease what it may.” e

Our two Tilden Glubs ought to have made arrangements for a grand jubilee over the election of “Blue Jeans” Williams and his democratic associates. I hardly know who is to blame for this neglect. So grand a vietory—assuring, as it does, the election of Tilden and Hendricks in November—ought not to have been permitted to pass by without a high old jamboree. . The '‘following appeared in last week’s Bryan (Ohio) Argus: ; “ A Republican from Kendallville, by the name of Duel, spent nearly all day last Saturday in this place, extoling the virtues of Mr. Hayes and the republican party, and to prove his assertions he stole two pair of shoes from Bryan & Willett’s store before leaving, The night watchman was put on his track and succeeded in getting him. He acknowledged the theft, delivered over the goods, and Mr. Willett allowed him to go without prosecution. e merely mention this as a straw.” e

That’s a little bit rough for a member of the *party of grand moral ideas’t ogaiteesn oLo Laia

Tax-paying time ends on the 4th of November.. Pon’t forget this. ' - Itis quite evident that the Republicans of Noble county are in a sadly demoralized condition. Sore spots can be found 1n every cqner. :

Candid Republicans hereabouts freely admit that the signs of the 'times plainly indicate the election of Tilden and Hendricks. e e

A little “unpleasantness” occurred between two of our prominent citizens at one of our business houses a few days since, growing out. of the late canvass. ' Gentlemen, let us have peace. ; i

J. B. Kimball has about reached the conclusion that it is -not good for one party to remain in power too long. Yet, it can scarcely -be hoped that he will vote for a change. 'Hon. O. D. Willett has gone to the Centennial. Hope he may enjoy himself. Though defeated, he has the proud satisfaction of knowing that he served his constituency @ faithfully wlile a member of the House. There is no excuse for Democrats voting against him en masse, as they did in York township. He deserved better treatment. . | L Uet.23.160 . ARGUS. | e e 5 - . » : Public Speaking!
