. —The editor of the Lebanon Pioneer, who is“a physician, suggests to his readers that they “keep the weeds and grass around their houses cut short, ‘and carry away all that has been cut off. Let there be no decomposition -of vegetable matter or pools of stagnated water to vitiate the atmosphere. If this caution is taken around our homes, we may avoid having to buy ‘BO much quinine.” ? ‘ ; —We have a suggestion to make to ‘the wike-awake, enterprising farmers of this vicinity. The immense wheat crop hereabouts proves the superiority of our soil.over that of other localities. Indeed, we are bold to assert that no better farming country for all purposes can be found inthe United States. Now, most of our farmers have friends somewhere in the East 'who may wish. to change location—gettle down in some locality where farming is remunerative and profitable. An occasional copy of THE BANNER sent to such persons will have the effect of making the excellence of our soil extensively known, which can only result in bringinﬁlive farmers here to seek investments. Having a country that will bear the closest and ‘most ecritical investigation, the attention of Pennsylvanians, Ohioans' and New Yorkers ought to be attracted hither. Elkhart county has enjoyed a decided advantage over Noble county .in this, particular, although the latter affords much greater inducements to land-buyers than the former. There are hundreds of acres of land in Noble county to be bought at remarkably ﬁw figures—land, which if ‘owned byihe right class of farmers, ould soon be made of double its bresent value. This week’s issue of ‘Tsie BANNER ought o be'sent to one thousand families in Ohlo, Pennsylvanin and Now ork. After having ‘read your €opy, put & wrapper around S et b ag LLast mﬁﬁ?ﬁ LR L S

We may possibly pass along that way, next Fall. —The Wolcottville Gazette has taken a new departure. It bids adieu to the republican party and bravely unfurls the banner of independent greenbackism.

Therefore, see to it that your alleys and all places likely to secrete filth, are thorougply‘_cleaned out, that you may laugh at epidemics and be long inhabitants of this glorious republic. - —We regret to learn that our este®med friend, Mr. J. W. Rendel, of Elkhart township, recently lost over 28 head of hogs from the effects of cholera. They averaged about 120 Ibs. per head. None of the usual remedies séemed to have the slightest effect. L E 2

-—The strike at Elkhart, according to the South Bend Herald, was settled in this way: “The Elkhart county deputy Sheriff swore 150 specials last Friday to. make a..d?sc:ent on Elkhart and raise the blockade of strikers there, but a compromise was effected between the men and ofticials and trains resumed ‘as usual. The company now gives each man a pass and allows them' for over:time and has promised. to increase their wages as soon as the business of the road would permit. That ends the trouble on this line.” - § N

Forty-Nine Bushels per Acre. When we reported last week that Mr. Matthias Marker threshed 45 bushels and 56 Ibs. of wheat to thé acre, we took it for granted that he was entitled to wear the belt as the champion producer of wheat in this locality. But the item had scarcely gained publicity when the announcement came that Mr. John L. Cavin, another Hawpatch farmer, had eclipsed this achievement to a considerable extent, as the following statement will show:

From 11 acres of ground, carefully measured by Mr. Joseph Smoker, and which contained over 125 fair-sized stumps, Mr, Cavin threshed 490 bushels of Fultz wheat. The yield showed, per acre, 44 bushels and 32 pounds, machine measure, and by weight Jortynine bushels per acre! Takinginto account the 125 strmps, of such size as to necessitate going around them with the reaper, the 490 bushels may properly be pronounced the product of 8 acres of clear ground, netting about 60 bushels per acre! : ' - With such facts before us we now defy the entire Norph-west to match this region in raising wheat. :

SRR The funersl services were held in the Mathodist Church at Wawaka. on Monday, and were largely attended, The music was 2ood and thesinging sweet, and we looked up through our tears with a well grounded hope of & final reunion with our loved ones, where parting never comes, =~ wihd R o L DA,

The farmers are nearly all busy plowing for wheat at present, and & full breadth of acres will be sowt ik ‘Sparta this fall. The Wylands intend ‘to seed ‘about seventy acres, which .will be pretty good for Broadway ; but .several other farmersin this township: ‘will exceed that number of acres. - " .John Hontz, George Braden, and ‘Lon. Maggart, all of Cromwell, were in attendance at the Broadway Musical Association at its last meeting. It was a very enjoyable affair. Mr.Hontz led the class, and nearly all present took part in the exercises. Mr. Hontz is a member of that association, and he being a teacher of music, proves to be a great benefit to the class. T Our esteemed friend, Albert Weade, informs us that he intends to attend the Normal School at Lagenier which will open in a few days. This has been our advice to him for some time past. We hope he will be successful in all his studies, and we have every reason to believe he will, for heis a young man who always believes in business before pleasure. John Earnhart says he is now fully convinced who the parties were that cleared the rails out of the road and threw them over in his field. The road makes a very good appearance now, but John refuses to treat the boys to a good cigar. The boys seem to be very anxious to settle it on that basis, and say no more about the matter. . : s

One of Allen Green’s tenant houses that was occupied by Jacob Myers burned down Tuesday evening of last week while the occupants were absent. All of the contents belonging to Mr. Myers were consumed in the flames.: The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. e ; A great many have inquired of us about the debate that took place in Page county, Va., between Elder Peter Winebrenner, Christian minister, and Elder J. O. Corliss, Advent minister. Now, we will say that we haveenough ‘of proof in our possession to convince any fair-minded petrson that it was a great victory for the Christian church. jThis is a public matter, and all have an opportunity to learn the facts in |the case for themselves, and we do not see any reason why the Advents -still persistin denying them. We learned from good authority that Elder S. H. Lane made the assertion that Corliss and E. B. Lane were not whipped in the discussion down in Virginia, and that the Christians gained no victory, and that he had papers in his possession to prove it. Well, we will now notice what some of the most reliable men in that part of the country, where the debate took place, have to -say about it. First, we will refer the reader to a lengthy letter from Elder W. A. Dofflemyer, President of the Virginia Central Christian Conference, written for the Herald of Gospel Liberty, published at Dayton, Ohio. You will find it in a number of that paper dated June 186, 1877. He says, “for the Christians it was a signal success,” and that “Adventism is now comparatively dead” there. He wants to say to the world as an honest man, “that’ to tné Advents and their cause the discussion was an inglorious defeat, ‘ ‘and notwithstanding they have published to the world that the whole’l Christian Church had gone with them, there have been but four members of any Christian Church 'gone off to the Advents from any church in the Virginia Central Christian Conference, and they .were from the Mt. Zion Church and are not very prominent. members any way.” o : In a number of the Advent Review, their own paper, dated June 14, 1877, you will find a letter from J. O. Corliss, written from Virginia, and if you examine it closely you will see that he does not claim any victory himself, and we consider itan acknowledgment of defeat. : ;

We have a letter in our possession from H. J. Strickler, a worthy member of the Christian Church near where the debate took place; he says that they are not troubled with the Advents any more, and a great many that said they would keep Saturday when Elder Winebrenner was here are keeping Sunday now., We have an abundance of other good proof and letters in our -possession, but do not deem it necessary to take up any more space than already occupied. - , In order to afford the public an opportunity of judging for themselves as to the truth or falsity of the statements made in reference to what took place in Virginia between Elder Winebrenner and Elders Corliss and Lane, I am authorized to say that Elder Winebrenner, though not seeking notoriety, will meet either of the Lanes, Corliss, or any other accredited Sev-enth-Day Advent preacher in joint debate at any place where there may be an organized congregation of that denomination, for the discussion of the followiyg poantes. . oo 0 E

A bran new mower owned by Jacob Kredger was somewhat demoralized, on last Friday a week, by being impelled over the rough country by a span- of frightened horses which had been attacked by alot of bumble bees. ‘The loss will amount to between $4O and $5O. Fortunately the horses and driver escaped without being injured. - J. W. Hartsock: and Gill Baker, two of Cromwell’s ‘wide-awakes,’ returned last Saturday from Valparaiso, where they had been staying for some time, laying in a supply of knowledge. Mr. Winks, formerly of Bremen,but now engaged as miller at the Cromwell Flouring Mills, has moved his family to this place. ‘ A small child while playing on the streets recently, came very near being run over. As it was, it had one of its feet severely bruised by one of the horses stepping on it. It wasa close call, and we should think mothers would take warning and keep their infants off the street. Miss Lottié Neff is off on a few week’s visit to a brother living at Fulton, Ijls. When she returnsshe will be engaged as one of the teachers in the public schools at Albion. - | - The citizens of our little burg met at the Lutheran Church last Sunday forenoon for the purpose of resuscitating the Cromwell Sunday School, which recently played out. The collapse was oceasioned by the remqval' from our midst of the superintendent;, and resignation of the assistants - A full complement of officers was selected, and everything will soon again move on in its wonted wake. We hope each and every one will take a personal interest, and assist in making it one of the best schools in the county.

By invitation about a dozen ladies and gentlemen met at the residence of Mr. James Earnhart, 3 few evenings since, for the purpose of having a good, gocial time.

Having replenished our capacious stomachs, fun was made the order until a late hour, when all left with many good wishes for the future of Mr. and Mrs. E.

- Language fails to express our feeling: first, at such shocking. brutality; secondly, the evils consequent upon eating such food. The cow wds mad from her abuse; her vital powers could produce no more vitalitiy, and the meat was in a sadly diseased condition.— But whatof that; it was nice beef neverthreless. This was not the only case of this kind—only one of many—and we expose the parties from a sense of duty to our fellow men. In conclision we say so long as God gives us the knowledge of good and evil, we shall never be tempted to eat or buy meat froma any butcher shop in Ligonier, ‘while such prpformaneps'as the above are tolerated by the proprigtors “Truth is mighty and will prevail.” .

In alittle while those who adopt this gdvice frequently increase the number of *‘drinks” and in time become confirmed inebriates. | A beverage which will not create thirst for intoxicating liquors, and which is intended especially for the benefit of debilitated people, whether at home or'abroad, is Dr. Schenck’s Sca Weed Tonic. Cosntaining the juices of many medicinal herbs, this preparation does not create an appetite for the intoxicating cup. The nourlshing and the life-supporting properties of. many valuable natural productions contained in it, and well known to medical men have a moststrengthening inflnence. A single bottle of the Tonic will dem_onstrate its valcable qualities. For debility aris‘ing from si¢kness, over exertion or from any cause whatéver, a wineglass of Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will strengthen the stomach and _create an appetite for wholesome food. =To all - who are about leaving their homes, we desire to say that the exeellent effectsof Dr. SBchenck’s sea~ sonable remedies, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident when taken by those who are injuriously affected by a. change of water and diet. No person should leave home without taking a supply of these gafeguards with them. : : | = For sale by all'draggists. | 15-w5.

. COLUMBIA CITY ITEMS. The strike is ended for the present. Some of the boys got the grand bounce. We had a fire again last night. An old building owned by Mrs. McCue, at one time used as a calaboose, standing on the south side of the public square, caught fire and was badly scorched inside. | A part of the fite department responded to the alarm, and soon extinguished the blaze. 2 Temperance meetings are becoming all the rage in this neighborhood. Last evening meetings were held at Beech Chapel, Larwill, and in this city. The saloon business is not prospering in this place at present, there being too much buttermilk drank, and consequently some of our retailers will soon have to step down and out. Work on the new engine house is being rapidly pushed forward. Wheat is selling in this market for $1.20; the best at $1.28 @ $1.25. Our boys are talking some of attending the firemen’s tournament at Goshen on the sth and 6th-of September. A passenger coach was fired into by some unknown person, just afterleaving the I't. Wayne junction. The ball passed through the windows, at one of which a man was sitting. It wasa lucky thing he was not looking out of the window. ~ dti s v Tramps are scarce, but desperate when you find them. They are always in want of something to eat and promise to do some work to pay for. Securing the eatables they march out of doors to find some shady retreat in which to eat it, and then leave, forgetting all about the promise to work. - The new' passenger house on the P., Ft: W. &C.
