A _4__._<.,.’.§.,- et Baggage Car Bnrned. - A baggage car from' New York was burned on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Road at 2 o’clock Monday morning while approaching Edgerton, Ohio, about 50 miles east of here. All the contents were destroy2d, including a considerable amount of mail matter, which was in one section of the car. The fire was discovered shortly before arriving at Edgertor, and when the train stopped a# that place the flames:rendered the use of water of no avail. No estimate of the damage can be made, although reports of heavy losses by the. passengers are current. Lo The fire caught from a candle which was carelessly left burning in the vicinity of a large pile of papers. Some 8,000 pounds of mail was burned, but there were no letters, and the mail was chiefly for Jowa and Nebraska. Among the vrineipal losers by the de‘struction of baggage were W. L. Scott and daughter, of Erie, $3,000 worth of diamonds; Daniel Dows, of New York, valuable papers and baggage; the Misses Rice, of New York, en route to Omaha, their entire baggage; George and Mrs: A. B. Cornwall, of New York, $1,200 worth of jewelry, clothing, ete., and many others for less amounts. The car was formerly in the fast mail service, and valued at $3,000.

The farmers of ILagrange couunty have organized an insurance company. for the protection of themselves, against loss by fire. ™They form the association in accordance with an act of the Legislature of this State, approved March.l4th, 1877, entitled “An act to enable farmers and citizens of any county in the State of Indiana, to form voluntary associations for the purpose of insuring their property against loss by fire, and all other matters connected therewith, and enable them to sue and be sued by their corporate name.” ;

- . HAWPATCH MEDITATIONS. - _The “222 pounder is rested” anq will manifest it by sending another communication to THE BANNER. =~ ‘This week, if the fates will, will close our school, and we shall once more feel at liberty. = e We are having beautiful weather for Mareh, and we are led to believe that the time of the singing birds has come, &e. e ; _ The western fever is creating quite a sensation in the Hawpatch, and we really believe it is a good thing. Quite a number of persons anticipate going west in the .spring “to see it.” Our country is full of people and all can hardly find homes here. Why not have a home of your own, and Beyour own boss? Them’s our sentiments.

~ Sugar making is the order of business now, and maple molasses goes with hot cakes. :

Judging from the great number of converts that have been added to the churches in this vicinity during this winter, Hawpatch is designed to be morally better in the future. 1 We are not extremely religiously inclined, but owing to. a few communications that came under our notice, cannot help to make a little comment upon- them. It seems very strange to us how people: who believe in the Bible and read it prayerfully, can frame such ideas as were expressedin THE BANNER by certain correspondents. We claim a man has more jusé reasons for being an infidel than a Universalist. The one believes in the Bible, the other doés not. If the passage quoted in Lukeiii: 6, is thestrong--est hold they have, we think a proper understanding of it will clear away such an obstacle as that. “Seeing salvation” and “obtaining salvation” are two things. The gospel shall be taught or preached to “every nation” before the great day of the Lord shall come, every ohstruction’'shall be so removed that the salvation of God shall be revealed to every creature. For further information read Isaiah 11:10, 52:10, 49:6, l.uke 2:31, 32. Space will not permit any more. In eonclusion we say, be a man or a mouse, and don’t pick a scrap here' and there to misconstrue the divine teachings of the gospel: It only needs a careful perusal to be properly understood.— Though we do not wish to be understood that we understand itall, yet for all the evidence we can see there can be no reason for- Universalism. County Superintendent Zimmerman has failed to put in his phiz at Buttermilk this winter. It was not because we had no need of his help. - : The roads are dryjng off during this beautiful weather. e . Wheat never looked better in this season of the year. ' . According to indications we are to ‘have an early spring. e

- CROMWELL ITEMS. In the sweet by and by we shall meet on the beautiful shore of silver. The dramatic troupe at this place played “The People’s Lawyer,” and “Qut, in the Streets” last Saturday evening to a very fair audience. Their net profits were about $l9. Our winter term of school closed last Friday. Too much praise cannot be given Miss Mattie McConnell as a successful teacher. Her abilities cannot be questioned. She is worthy the commmendation of all good -citizens everywhere. ; Willie Aliiman and Charley Maggart, two of Mr. Grimes’ scholars, carried- away certificates of 'qual_’iﬁcation to teach in the schools of Noble county. This we_think is a good showing for Mr. Grimes as-4 successful teacher. . Ll

We think that “Jap,” of Albion, has some very curious notions about this hell business. God would: certainly be very foolish.to bring men to Jjudgment if there were no consignment to make. It would be equally foolish to arraign a man before the courts for stealing a horse simply to have the judge say we find you guilty, but there is no penalty; gofree. Too Shin, sJap2c. 0 st
