’ ~ LUTHER BENSON’S LECTURES., ~ The announcement that Mr. Luther ‘Benson would positively deliver two lectures in this place, Monday and Tussday evenin gs, attracted to the M. E. chureh, both evenings, an unusually large concourse of ladies and gentlemen. The anxiety to hear Luther Benson seemed to be universal. -Our people had heard so much of him as a temperance lecturer that his presenee in our midst was regarded a public necessity, to appease the popular clamor. Luther came, spoke, and delighted his audience. We but faintly reflect public sentiment when we say that his lectures excited wonder, amazement, admiration, and awe. It would be futile on our part to attempt to convey an idea of his wonderful descriptive powers, his sbtﬂ-harrowing narrative of his own sad experience as a helplessl, victim of intemperance, his terrific denunciation of the liquor traffic, his matchless comparisons, his eloquent! tributes to the workers in the cause of. temperance, his soul-stirring appeals, his dazzling eloquence, and his masterly argumentation. llis points are so strikiug, his logic so keen, that the! charmed listener is at once divested of power orinclination to harbor distrast, doubt, or a spirit of antagonism. Almost every sentence constitutes a sep-| arate and distinctargument. , At times thé ear would be grated by some offensive exclamation, but the very next, moment a flash of vivid eloquence would completely efface every mark of displeasure, ' .

It is needless to say that we do not subscribe to all of Mr. Benson’s peculiar views and theories relative to the liquor trafhic, nor is it necessary to indicate wherein we may differ from him on the temperance question in general. Howeverstrong our convictions may be,however radically we mav differ from him, we could not find it in our hieart to take issue with one who has suffered so intensely, so terribly, from the evil-effects of intoxicating spirits as has Luther Benson. On the contrary, our sympathy for this gifted, but ill-fated, young man is so strong, 80 deep~éeated, iih__a.t ‘we would regard the witk holding of encouragement as bordering on crime. May success crown his heroic efforts at emancipating himself completely from the power of King Aleohol, and may his own rescue lead to the salvation of thousands of other victims of intemperance, is qur sincere prayer and earnest hope.

5 ELKHART COUNTY ITEMS. (From the Goshen Democrat, Sept. 26th.) | David Judy, an old settler of Benton township, died last Sunday. s One of our merchants attended the bowery dance at Ligonier last week, Ever since he hasbeen talking of engaging in the dairy business. . . Sam Jackson, over whose reformation during the red ribbon temperance revival, the whole town rejoiced as one plucked from destruction, has fallen back into his intemperate habits and is given up as lost, lost, lost! There have been several very sudden deaths in this city during the past two months and quite an unusual mortality throughout the county, among persons advanced in life. We notice this to be the case in other localities. / The Noble County Fair, held at Ligonier last week, was a success, financially, the crowd in attendance being large. A large number of Goshenites ‘went up Friday to witness the footrace between Harry Pratt and Frank Alderman, The racewas close and exciting, Pratt being beaten only 6 inches in a distance of 100 yards. It was considered a put up job, —Goshen Democrat. L ?

And willdbe so regarded by the officers of the society. :

AMIpsT wild excitement and unbounded enthusiasm, the Democrats of New Jersey, on Wednesday of last week, nominated Gen. Geo. B. McClellan for Governor. - Little Mac. was not a candidate, and his nomination created general surprise, as much to himself as to anybodyelse. His triumphant election is a moral certainty.

A civil rights case has been beougls | in the U. 8. Court, district of Indianapolis, based on the refusal of a town- | ship trustee to permit the attendance of a black girl at a city school. The ‘ guardians of the girl propose to sacii{ fice her on the altar of radicalism for the sum of $l,OOO or as much thereof" as they can recover from the unhappy trustee. The latter refuses to admit this curled darling to the city school because the majority of whites would leave and because a colored school is within a mile of her which she can attend. This is the second civil rights case on the Indianapolis docket. - An aged colored man committed suicide near Wabash, last week, by hanging himself with a silk handkerchief and towel tied together, No one

T : . SPARTA ITEMS. The farmers are about all done seed ‘ing, and last week enjoyed themselves at the County Fair. The early sowed wheat looks equally as well as it di at this time last year. We think we made a comparatively good statement; on wheat in our last communication. We will now say that we believe that the corn crop in Sparta will compare favorably ‘with any other township in the county. In parts of this township it is simply immense. We cannot give a true statement ‘until husking time, but it will certainly be very large. - Mr. David Douglas and wife,of lowa, are visiting friends in Sparta. Mr. D. used to be a resident of Sparta, and consequently has many acquaintances here. : :

. Mr. Samuel Ohlwine and his niece, Mrs: Amanda Jerles, are at present visiting relatives near St. Louis, and other points in the Western States. Mr. William Hitler and wife, Mr. Charles Weade and wife, Mrs. Hannah Holverstott, Miss Mollie Hitler, Miss Ella Hitler, and Miss Sarah Hitler, all of Sparta township, started for Chicago Monday morning to attend the exposition. s o

Mr. Wm. B. Kelly, our popular constable, school director, delinquent tax collector, newspaper agent, and farmer, seems to be very busy at present. We do not think he has any reason to complain about not having plenty of business these hard times. Diep: September 17th, 1877, Mrs. MAGDALENE KERSHNER,after alingering illness, aged 75 years, 10 months and 17 days. The deceased was born in Washington county, Maryland, and in her youth, with her parents, emigrated to Ohio, and was married in 1824. . Then with her husband she emigrated to Noble county, Ind., in 1859. She made a profession of christianity some 57 years. She has been a member of the Christian church in Sparta ever since she removed to Noble county. Thus another bright and shining light has been swept away from the church in this place by the resistless arm of death. The deceased leaves a husband and three children and a great number of other friends and relatives to mourn their loss. Funeral services by Elder Peter Winebrenner, September 18th, at the Sparta school house. — The Elder preached an, eloguent discourse to a large and sympathizing congregation, and spoke many consoling woxfds to the many bereaved relatives and friends. The rémains were then taken to the Ligonier cemetery for interment. MARK.

CROMWELL ITEMS. - ' The physicians are on the go. : . Woodville Larmor left last Thursday for Englewood, where he will take a course in telegraphy. e Our citizens are taking in the expositicn lively. About twenty-five left last Thursday, and twenty-four more on Sunday evening. " 8. R. Tucker and wife, of Gratiot, 0., are visiting their son, H. G. Tucker, of this place. They will réturn home on Thursday. s : The pay car went through on Saturday evening to Chicago, but failed fo recognize us. Will return Tuesday and make us happy. i Mrs. Green has commenced the erec-. tion of the second brick building in our blace, in the east part of town. : Our efficient miller has accepted a situation at Anderson, Ind., where he can .do better than here. We regret losing Mr. W., as he is a first-class miller. fo s o ' Sacrament was administered to the Lord’s people at the Lutheran church on Sunddy, by Rev. Shafer, assisted by Rev. Waltman, of - Kendallville. Mr. Shafer left no further appointments for services here, as he cannot tell whence he goes, until after the Synod adjourns. Rev. Waltman delivered an eloquent and. interesting discourse to a large audience. : Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, found us in Kann’s Hall, Ligonier, taking in lough’s theatrical performances. The troupe played well, and apparently gave entire satisfaction. Quite a number of our citizens attended and were well pleased with the several plays. e LosT:—A large umbrella, on the Fair ground, Friday last, near Banta's stand.

WILNMOT WINNOWINGS.

The fall crops are nearly all out now, but they are not all in. Haul in your pumpkins and squashes, and dig your potatoes. : o ; A temperance lecture with temper-. ance scenes was held at the church last Sunday evening, by Prof. Robins,which was very interesting to the eye and ear. A good audience was there to attest the truth of it.. | - The Salem Dramatic Troupe exhibited at Wolf Lake last Saturday evening, and met with good success. Where next? | * Death has been in our midst. This time two little gems were taken from the path of life, to wit: On Friday morning, September 21st, a little son of Calvin Baugher, aged thres weeks; also, a son of Ambrose and Martha Smalley, aged about one year. " Ep. Thursday evening Mrs. Robinson, 60 years of age, arrived in Winchester on the riight train. She employed unknown parties to escort her to a friend’s bouss. They took her out of town, ‘rop_b%g. her and outraged her e, leaving her in a condition that 8 feared ?ﬂ:v@t&%ﬁ; _ Anderson Mincer was arrested last Friday, and the indications point strongly 1o his W ednesday of last week was a coms,

* Quite a number of the employees on the P., Fr. W. & C. R.R. have been discharged during the past few days, principally engineers, and some of the oldest on the road.. Itis feared we are to have more trouble, but hope not. There is such a thing as the railroad going too far in this matter, We cannot be surprised if we hear of wrecked trains, and, of course, people will be prone to hunt other lines to travel on. s |

Wheat sold last week for $1.24 per bushel in Columbia City. Our shippers send most of their wheat over the D, E.R. & 1. R. R, connecting with L. 8. & M. S. at ‘Butler, and get low rates, thereby enabling them to pay good prices for wheat. .

. Many who have promised to pay their debts after threshing are now holding their wheat for higher prices. Wheat is liable to drop on them. : The engine house is nearing completion, as is also the new _passenger house, . e

A man with some capital might make it profitable to come to this place and start a foundry, as we need one very bad. ; -

A number of the citizens of this county have the Kansas fever. We prefer the chills, as they are not so liable to-take a fellow off. ,
