The citizens of Goshen were thrown inio a state of intense eéxcitement on gxt.he evening of the 9th inst. by the ¢ finding of the body of a well-dressed ; young man on the bridge at the west end of Market street. A pistol was Iving near the body, which was still warm, and the blood was oozing from an ugly wound in his temples, the ball = 'hav_ing'passed clear through the head. Many thought it a case of murder; otherssuicide. The body was removed to the engine-house, where it was visited by hundreds of people; mauny of whom declared it to be the body of a voung man in Benton township. But when the supposed victim -appeared - upon the scene, alive and well, the excitement ran still higher. The mys-

tery was explained, however, by the discovery of the following strange letter, addressed to A! W. Yoder, Atlantic, la.: e g GosHEN, IND., Jan. 9, 1877.—DEAR FaTHeER: I take my pen in hand to | let you know that I am well at the | present time.

All are ready to admit that the _personation of Michael Erle, the maniac lover, by Mr. Al. Fulton, was true to life, and the manner in which he rendered that difficult part Where the -maniac falls wpon his knees and with ~uplifted hand, in which a glittering dagger is held, in wild nnd incoherent language takes a fearful oath that revenge shall be his, was true to life in ‘every particular, and excelled by &w professional actors.” =t

: OBITUARY. ‘ | DIED.—On Sunday evening, January 7th, 1877, in Sparta twp.rafter an il'lness of ten days, Mrs. Eliza Ohlwine, wife of Sam’i Ohlwine ; aged about 53 years, ; 9 Deceased was boyn in Green county, Ohio, and with her husband r&moved to this county about twenty-seven years ago. = She embraced religion a number of yeal‘s_ ago, united with the Christian Church on Broadway, and remained a faithful member until her death. A vacancy was thus made in the family circle, and in the charch and Sunday-school, where she was a regular attendant whenever it was possible for her to be present, and in which she: always set a good example before the young and rising generation. She was less conformed to the world, we think, than many Christians of our day, caring but little for fashion or popularity. She was an every‘day Christian;:she had no betterlrei ligion for Sunday than any other da’yf no better for the church than for hex family. Her end was peaceful and quiet; she fell asleep in death and will wake in the first resurrection meorn in the likeness of Christ. She has left the legacy of a christian life—worth' more than silver and gold. The husband, who is so well and favorably known in the church and throughout the county, has lost a kind ahd faith;ful christian wife. ’l;hr'ee children -and a number of friends and relatives ‘are left to mourn her loss. The blow thus stricken is no common calamity upon our neighborhood, but the Almighty Dispenser of human events has taken her from us, and* we trust all will bow in humble submission to the will of Him who “doeth all things well.” “The funeral discourse was delivered by Elder Peter. _Winebrﬁn_ner, and, as an expression of general*love, was attended by a large and sympathetic congregation, who, at the ¢lose of the services, took their farewell view of the mortal remains of their departed friend. The scene awoke afresh our solemn sorrow and caused ‘us to weep with the many that wept. The corpse was then rexlxoved to the Wolf Lake Cemetery for interment. January 10, 1876. o C. W.

: A Very Good Desc¢ription, ' - Ligonier contains a young man who has allowed himself*to become enamored of a lady living in a neighboring town, whom he has never seen, (he having become so through the intercession of friends). 1t was natural for him to want to know what his prospective dulcinea was like, when, at his request, Bhe sent a description of herself which reads thus: “About 5 feet 8 irches high; red hair; very much freckled in the'face; eyes between light blue and gray; large mouth and big éars; weighs 150 pounds; wears No. 8 shoes; 20 years old, and fleshy.. - ONEY.” Look ount, W., or she will crush you with-a No. 8 andswallow you whole—tooth and toe nails. . Go ro Casey’s for something new ‘n the boot and shoe line,

Joseph Calbeck shipped three decks of hogs in the “Garden City” last week. Quite a number of courting men passed through our place last week enroute for Albion, where they expect to court. Strange, how some men can never get over courting, while others never can reach the point. ' Miss Lida Welch, of Ligonier, passed through here enroute for Albion, where she is engaged in teaching the primary department of the public schools. ; .

There is a journal published in this place, on Tuesday evenings, for the benefit of the literary society. = The editors have given it the significant appellation of “Dodge or Catch It.” We would suggest that these quill drivers had “better look a little out.” William Pollock left this place for Kansas last Saturday, to visit a brother. Bill, you ought to get “an womar.”

Rev. F. A. Sale failed to put in an appearance with us last evening, owing, we presume, to some Providential interference. Nevertheless, the large créwd assembled were not, wholly disappointed, as a lively prayermeeting ensued, copducted by the worthy Deacon Mayfield. ‘What a popular journal THE BANNER has become. “Have you read THE BANNER ?” is on the lips of every school-boy, and a good many others. If some one would subscribe for it, and leave our copy in the office, we would be much obliged. . -

We should have had ‘three or four Bennett-May duels in this vicinity, or, at least, May brothers, here of late, to demand justice to the gentle sisters.

The Literary Society met last Tuesday evening, and “a fine time” were the watch-words. Had it not been for the loose legs of some of the boisterous applaudérs, we would. have .had good order. We feel safe in predieting that this society will meet with entire success.

Trains will run as follows from this station, on and after J anuary 14,1877: Going east—express and mail, 2:10 P. M.; New. York express, 2:20 A. M.; local freight and accommodation, 8:22 P.M. Going west—express and mail, 3:32 p. M.; Chicago express, 1:05 A.M.; local freight and accommodation, 9:44 A, M.

Mgr. EpiTor:—With the permission of “Mollie,” I will have-a word to say to those very s_ehsitive men, of whom “Mollie” made mention last week, and term them “inebriates.” Their royal highness seems greatly offended at this appellation. But the handle must have fit the jug quite snugly, from the way they kick about it. I think if 1 were one of the crowd I should not 'make myself known. As for “Mollie” calling any one an inebriate, she did not, but was giving it to the crowd of rioters who were carousing upon our streets on the evening in question. We think that appellation a very mild term for the midnight raiders of that oceasion. . . BENZINE.

Occasionally H. C. Cunningham, of Ligonier, and one of the fair damsels of this neighborhood, can be seen taking the benefit of the good sleighing in Sparta. We were in attendance at the musical concert at Broadway Chapel on Saturday evening of last week, given at the close of the musical convention at that place, under the supervision of Prof. J. F'. Kinsey, of Hillsdale, Mich., and must say it was one of the best entertainments of the kind eyer given in this part of the country. {The programme was excellent, consisting of grand choruses, sparkling glees, quartettes, duets and solos, which were all rendered in a masterly style and spoke volumes for both scholars and teacher. One of the leading. features of the evening was a song and chorus of the Professor’s own ‘produétion; entitled “] Will Love You When You 're Old.” It was rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Kinsey, Mr. J. N. Ohlwine and Miss Prouty. The entertainment certainly was a rare/treat to all lovers of good music who were present, and was well received by the appreciative a.‘;ixdience.

The total loss is estimated at $16,000, with no insurance on either buildings or stock.
