The lad in question wanted to go to Garrett to visit a cousin who is a brakeman on the east end of the road, which fact, he modestly suggested, entitled him to a free ride, if the right, sort of a conductor were in charge of the freight train. The youthful rumsucker finally invested 70 cents to secure the coveted ride. MOLLIE. |

C: ZruMER~ ” Man, of Ligonier, to Miss CArriE, danghter of John Young, Esq. : The consummation of this event partook largely of the character of a complete surprise. The wedding guests were nol numerous, principally relatives of the bride, but it was an exceedingly pleasant gathering. The ceremony was excellently performed by our genial parson, Rev. Mr. Mahin, The bride, always handsome and dignified, appeared to admirable advantage as she pledged her hand and heart to the husband of her choice.— She was attired in an elegant costume, elaborately and tastefully finished. The groom was dressed in black broadcloth, white vest, and kids. The ceremony over, and hearty ’congratulati‘(’gs' passed, a bountiful repast was partaken of by the happy party; About halfpast six o’clock the newly-wedded couple, accompanied by the officiating minister and attendants, started for the home of the groom at Ligonier. The vrip was greatly enjoyed, and the party reached their destination in good season. The best wishes of the community are extended to the couple. May their new union be one of growing happiness, and may they enjoy an abundance of all the blessings ,f;owinfr from connubial love. bl

LIG(')NIER‘, IND.. J uly 19, M 717.

The price of the round trip was $l, cheap as dirt for a fifty mile trip. ' | : [ The cashier of the First National Bank of Kendallville was attacked last week very violently with what threatened to’be a serious case of illness.— But using his ready good sense and %dgment he at once struck out for ome City (with a prescription from Dr. Gilbert in his pocket). After rusticating a couple of days, enjoying our lake breezes, and indulging in our ‘mineral waters, and mineral baths, and enjoying a short rest from his arduous labors, he came out a new and restored man. Let others profit by Mr. Schulze’s good judgment and act likewise.

. As*‘Alexis,” of Rome Cig. is anxious to write e{}bltnarios, how would the Fourth of July celebraion: at that place do for a subject?— Wolcottville Gazette. e ; . We give it up. With a crowd of six thougand people, good speakers, and a 'good time generally, everybody happy ;a'nd satisfied, we acknowledge we can’t ‘see the point. Will Jimmy please rise land explain? S

| Lon. Fleming, of the Ligonier House, 'was in town on Friday last. Those \Kalamazoo excursions seem to be sorhe|what attracting to him. Well, we don’t ‘blame Mr. F., for some of those Mieh!igafn girls are very fascinating. | New wheat is being ground up at {the mill, and Andy Axel says it is as \good as wheat can be. | | Newt.

| ‘The boys around town had a-dance ‘at.the Park Hall, on Thursday night flast, which proved to be a very enjoyable affair. It was gotten up asa sort of éxperiment, and panned out so well ‘that the boys expect to keep it up. We believe, however, that it is intended heteafter to have them on Saturday night. Hobson’s premium band furnished the music. . ; ’ Kendallville beer wagons make daily visits to Rome City now. It would not be a bad plan for Jimmy Williams to visit Reme City with a bolt of red ribbon.— Wolcotiville Gazette,

“We have no objections.to Jimmy’s _c?ﬁqing, and would give him a cordial reception. Yet, many a red ribboner visited Dan O’Connell’s beer garden on the Fourth of July; but then it might have been that they only went to seethe boys dish up the beverage and to see who was there, &e.

/ As we are to have preaching at the park next Sunday at 1014 o’clock, “let no one foréet it.” Everybody ought to come and bring their families and their neighbors. Rev.J. P. Jonesis a minister of ability and extensive reputation, and preaching in the forenoon. on Snunday to the Romanites will be quite a novelty. ; Mr. Cassaday, of the firm of Hallenbeck & Cassaday, the renowned temperance lecturers, spent a few hours in our town last week. The subject of temperance, or the sin of intemper-' ance, did not seem to worry him much while here, but he put in the greater portion of his "time- in company with a fair damsel on the lake. Perhaps he concluded to treat us according to the language of the Scriptures: “The wholé need not a physician, but them that are sick,” &e.

Platt McDonald, of Plymouth, orated at Rome City. ' Alexis had a grand corps of speakers engaged but they did not pan out.—New Era. It was not Platt, Mr. Prickett, but Col. I 8,, of Columbia City. Our speakers panned out successfully, and everybody was satisfied. “Now do tell” who got that banner for bringing in the largest delegation to your town ¢ If it was awarded to Jefferson township, Rome City will claim it, for Jefferson was here in force. “Pull down your vest!” :

The Romanites expect to do their best to give the editorial excursion a cordial reception. We think we can find food and lodging for all, and that of a fair quality. Our will is good. if o__ur’resources are somewhat limited. Come, gents, and see; we'll guarantee that you will have a good time. ~ We learn that Knight Templars will hold an encampment here about the 28th of August.

It is his intention, however, to return in time to take charge of one of ourschools for the fall and winter term. 2 i A good joke is told on a fellow who took a mineral bath at the water cure last week. It seems he did not understand the woakings of the machinery and he gdt it entirely too hot for comfort. For full particulars inquire of Dr. Yarnell or the cashier of the First National Bank of Kendallville.

. The American people dre distant, mmmmwmm ‘ ©of the desperate struggle now in progress, between the Muscovite and the Turk, - 'Phe vlast-tmax' of forces on either side, the character of the com- l batants, the relentless, obstinate courage of the Russian, the fanatic valor of the Turk, the complication of interest which seem destined to involve all Eurgpe in the strife, and the effect which such a war is likely to have upon the agricultural and industrial pursuits of this country; are points which give to this contest a deep and absorbing interest.. -

~ And yet, it is a fact that the mass of Americans are almost wholly without any definite knowledge of the regions most directly and primarily concerned in this war. To most readers of our newspapers, the news from the seat of war is in a large degree unintelligible, from lack of information as to those people and countries. Moreover, the demand forthis information has developed the fact that there is not extant any book giving what is wanted, in reliable and popular form. We are glad, therefore, to receive from the well-known publishing firm of Hubbard Bros., advance sheets of a forthcoming volume, entitled “The Cross and the Crescent; or, Russia and Turkey, and the Countries Adjacent.” It is from the pen of the well-known histerian, Dr. L. P. Brockett, and gives a full and complete description of the countries bordering on the Black Sea, the Danube, the Euphrates and the ‘Tigris; including théir_ Extent, Physical and Political Geography; their History, with all its Varied and Thrilling Incidents; the Religion, Customs, Habits, Manners, and Character of each Nationality; their Military, Naval and Financial Resources; the Causes and Influences which led to this and former Wars, and a Full and Clear Explanation of the Cemplications which are driving the Nations of Western Europe into participation in it; the Massacres in Bulgaria; the Oppression and Cruelty which have goaded other Proyinces and Tributary States into Insurrection, Bnd the Despotic Sway of the Russian Government, all deplcted with great Vividness and Force, It also contains Biographical Sketches of all the Prominent Actors in the War now in progress, Monarchs, Rulers, Statesmen, and Generals, with Portraits of many of them. : -

Aside from its relation to passing events, this is.a most valuable and richly interesting volume. The brilliant, bloody, and eventful history of thesa nations, the character of their governments, the peculiarities of the people, their religigus beliefs, their social customs, habits and manner of life, present a subject ‘full of novelty and instruction, and treated by so able and brilliant an author as Dr. Brockett, would at any time attract wide attention; but coming as it does, in response to an urgent demand for just the information here given, it will everywhere meet with an eager reception, and prove to be the most important publication of the year. - ‘

Barnum’s New,; Only and Greatest Showwon Earth, at Elkhart., So liberally and intelligently has I°. T. Barnum employed printer’s ink to notify everybody of the coming of his colossal new show venture, tb Elkhart, on Friday, July 27th, that it' seems that nothing need now be editorially added to insure the largest congregation of people ever witnessed inthis section. 'The avalanche of current testimony as to the indeseribable proportions and attractiveness of Barnum’s crowning achievement is simply irresistible, and that it presents many times more of everything worth seeing than was ever before collected in a traveling exhibition, is equally well known. liisas singlein its superiority, asis its living Hippopotamus, its $30,000 stud of educated “Trakene” Stallions, for whose equals Mr. Barnum offers $50,000; its mysterious Tattooed Greek Nobleman, covered from head to foot with elaborate pic‘tures and hieroglyphics in indigo and cinnebar, and for a living or dead approach to whom Mr. Barnum will pay $50,000; Miss Hengler’s $50,000 challenge double manage act with her two fiery tandem stallions, and fifty otlier genuine, whole show features, to be seell nowhere else, and each of which is alone worth the price of admission to all the great show. The majestic and fabulously rich free street parade will present’ sights and sensations well worth:going a long day’s journey to look upon. Wonderful, indeed, is the mind and eye feast which Barnum has prepared for his patrons, and proportionate shall be his reward. _ o .Waupun (Wis.) Leader, .~ | t {
