i King Victor Emmanuel died g‘xt Rome on the 9th inst., in his 58th year. He married, in 1842, the Archduchess Adelaide, of Austria, and took an active part in the events of 1848. As King of Sardinia he sent an army of 17,000 men to the Crimea, and in 1859, with the aid of France, established himself as Kirig of Italy. . The court was transferred to Florence in 1865. In 1866 Italy and Prussia defeated Austria, and Victor Emmanuel entered Venice. Rome was made the capital in 1870. ‘The heir to the Italian ,throne is Prince Humbert, born in 1844, now Major General in‘the army.

Fatal Shooting Affray in Whitley Coun- ] : ty. ;

. CoLuMBIA CITY, Ind. Jan. 12.—For a number of years past a bitter feud has existed between the families of U. Tinkham and S. Kiser. Many unpleasant encounters have taken place, which, it has been feared, would yet prove fatal. Last night an affray occurred which will probably cost Kiser his life. The parties met at a singing school, twelve miles north-west of here, at: the old Centre school house.— The difficulty was soon fanned from a spark to a flame, and Tinkham drew a revolver and shot IKiser, the ball taking effect in his breast, penetrating thelungs and producing a fatal wound. Tinkham fled to the woods, hotly pursued by J. Kiser, a brother of Silas, shooting at him 'at every available opportunity, but without effect. Tinkham gained the woods and made good his escape, and is still at large. :

Appointment of Delegates to the State Convention, =+ - "Agreeably to published eall,the Dem--ocratic County Committee met at the office of Chas. G. Aichele, Kendallville, ‘on Saturday, January 12. A number of Democrats, not members of the committee, were present and by invitation participated in the deliberations. The manner of appointing delegates to the State convention was discussed at length. It was urged that previous meetings, either for the county at large or by townships, were but meagserly attended, and that very few of the delegates appointed ever attended the conventions at Indianapolis. After fully considering these points, the meetling unanimously. decided to appoint the delegates now, with the following result: , DELEGATES—T. P. Kessler, A. H. Smith, J. B. Stoll, Wm. Galbreath, James Earnhart, C. R. Wiley, H. C. Stanley, Jacob Schaulk, John Crone, Charles G. Aichele, Henry 'Wakeman, Dr. A, S. Parker, Col. Wm. C. Williams, and John B.

Childs, Michael Beck, David McArtney.

Who Slla]i-—ltf;‘;ke the :A;gs-smen:t for : : 18782 .

"~ From the Indianapolis Journal we learn that the attorney general of Indiana has been asked to decide the question as to. who should assess the property 'in the coming spring. The Legislature of 1877 enacted a statute providing for the election of township officers on the first Monday in April next, and that the persons then elected shall be entitled *“to enter upon the discharge of the duties of their offices at the expiration of ten days from such election.” The law provides for the work of assessing to begin on the first of April. The question is presented whether the present assessors shall do the work of assessing or their successors, it being alleged that it will work great inconvenience in ‘many cases for the work to be done in part by. one assessor and finished ‘by another, and it will be impracticable in some cases to wait until the assessor elected in April assumes his office. The attorney general decides that the assessors elected in April next will be entitled to take their office ten days afterwards, and then to do the work thereof, and not before. The responsibility for whatever awkwardness or inconvenience there may be in the matter rests upon the Legislature.

Local cerrespondents and contributors to newspapers, as well as ‘the editorg themselves, are never®exempt from trouble and are never at rest, so far-a¥ their ease of mind is concerned. They can scarcely insert a marriage or a death notice without it provinga snare. Even a local or personal item, however brief or true, must undergo criticism, defects are pointed out, and then follows condemnation of the writer without ever taking an afterthought. Sometimes an item is perused in a way entirely different from that which the writer intended it; hence some care ought to be-exercised in passing judgment. We do not confine these remarks to our own neighborhood, as they will suit any community. v Eb.

SPARTA ITEMS.

A few months ago we made mention that Mrs. Amanda Jerles, of Ligonier, was \visiting friend_s near Saint Louis, Mo, her native home. During her visit there she united in matrimony with Mr. Horace Evans, an old acquaintance residing in St. Clair county, 111. The happy couple are at present visiting their numerous friends in Noble county, all of whom wish them a long life and happy future. We would be pleased if they would remain in the county, but as his financial interests are in the West, we will have to give them up. Of course they intend to subscribe for THE BANNER before they take their departure, in order to hear from many of their friends through the eolumns of your valuable paper, and to get the county news in general. . : John Earnhart returned home from his visit to Circleville, Piquay county, Ohio, and informs us that health is ‘generally good there, and he thinks times are a little better than they are here.

The leading members all took an active part in the exercises, and therefore their efforts were crowned with success. About twenty united with the church (Christian in denomination) and expressed their determination publiely to take a firm stand with God’s people. They have an organization there now of considerable wealth, and there is some talk of erecting a church building in that vicinity. Elder Thomas Whitman will preach at the Sparta school-house one week from next Friday evening. MARK. C et ————— Judge Gresham on Usury. ‘

Judge Gresham, of the United States district court for Indiana, delivered an opinion during the present term of his court at Indianapolis construing section 5,198 ‘of the revised statutes. He holds that where a national bank takes, receives, or reserves usurious interest out of the proceeds of amote given for a loan, or charges usurious interest which is included -in the note, the maker or borrower may at any time, in a suit by the bank upon the note, plead the usury, and if pleading, the bank forfeits the entire amount of interest so reserved or included in the note; but if the usurious interest is paid by the maker or borrower out of his pocket, he can not recoup twice the amount of .interest Jbaid, or recover twice the amount in an action of debt unless the plea on recoupment is filed, or the action of debt is brought within two years after such payment is made. In short, he holds that the two-year statute of limitation does mnot apply to cases zgil}e*th_e usurious interest is reservd out of the proceeds of the note or is included in if, but applies only to cases where the usuridus interest is actually paid by the borrower or makasfiof the note to the bank. g T e | .~ Among the Dead Failures

The use of tobacco is a habit that has been contracted by a large number of small boys in town. They puff away at a cigar or roll a quid of tobaceo around in the%r cheeks with all the equanimity and satisfaction of a man who has used the weed for forty years. It is an expensive habit, but that is the least objection to it. . It debilitates the system| and impairs the mind to an extent that few are aware of. Science has proven that tobacco causes nervous and other diseases which frequently end in death. The habit creates an -appetite for strong drink, has a tendency to lead the vietim into bad company, and is frequently the cause o% an ill-spent life by producing idleness and indolence. Boys, beware of such folly.
