Local Correspondences. ROME CITY. _ Sunday last they finished putting up lce- K 2 ~ Six hundred tons of ice per day was put into the new ice house. If you are looking for a good milch cow go to Albion to make the purchase. Sheriff Williams and John C. Swett, of Albion, were in the city on business last Saturday. Peter St. Mary was offered $l,OOO, cash in hand, for his place of business. Pete refused. The G. R. & L. R. R. Co. have shipped north 68 car loads of ice for their own consumption during the summer. | The wife of Mr. Jackson Iddings, of Wagne twp., died on Thursday morning last, and was buried on Sunday. Emanuel Parks has left town. While leaving he was heard warbling that familiar tune: *‘The girl I left behind me.’ ~ J. C. Geisendorff is confined to his room with typhoid pneumonia. Dr. Vincent, of Kendallville, is the attending physician, : - “Alexis,” when you return home and greet your many old friends who have donned the blue ribben, your joy will know no bounds. . !

Isaac Thalman got into the water by a cake of ice slipping from under his feet. The boys did not “dock” him, for he made quick time. e Our worthy P. M. has donned the blue ribbon, and is now a f{ull-fledged Murphy. That is right, F. U.; in union there is strength. . : Since the thaw and last freeze we are having excellent skating on the lake, and the young folks are making the best possible use of iit. : Tyler Mason, of Indianapolis, is doing a good work here in the temperance cause. Over 250 "accessions, and the good work still moves on. The railroad section hands here are ardered to keep the Ice cut clear from the high truss bridge over thedam. We do not want any accidents there. . We are sorry to learn that our school cannot be kept up to the present standard the year round. - Cause: reduction of wages, hence a loss of one teacher. The Rev. VanSlyke, in his remarks at our Sunday School Cencert, said at the time he commenced preaching he could not sing “ A charge to keep.l have got.” . L . Do not forget that day birds begin to mate, but go immediately and purchase an outlandish picture, called a Valentine, and send it to some one whom you wish to Insult. ‘

A party-of ladies and gents from F't. Wayne visited this place on Tuesday evening for the purpose of enjoying a skite on the beautiful sheet of ice that now overspreads the lake. They seemed to enjoy themselves. . Saw dust is a commeodity of commercial value in this place at present, and the ice kings are eagerly seeking for it T. P. Kessler offered todeliver 100 wagon loads for as many dollars. A round fur tippet was found, Monday morning, near Holsinger's bridge, by Stanfield Corbin. The owner can get it by calling at his residence, 214 miles north-east of Rome City. | There is due from David C.Osborne, ex-trustee, to Orange twp., one hundred and eight dollars and seventythree cents ($108.73), special school fund. . 'Why delay any longer ? Miss Mary Sigler, daughter of Jacob Sigler, of this place, died on Thursday morning last, of consumption. Mary was an estimable young lady, held an high esteem by her companions. ; The latest intelligence from the State Capital is to the effect that this Congressional District will be composed of the counties of Noble, LaGrange, DeKalb, Steuben, Allen and Whitley. - Since the arrival of the Herald of Gospel Freedom in eur midst, the school boys ‘are posting themselves sto the workings of secret societies, Whew!/ don’t it make a fellow’s hair raise to see old skull bones ?

A petition has been circulated and numerously signed by our citizens remonstrating against the setting over of part of this township to LaGrange county, as proposed by the representative from LaGrange. : The three papers to be issued from the same office in this place are the Herald of Gospel Freedom,asemi-month-ly; a weekly, devoted to general news, local, ete.; a monthly, in the interest of women’s rights, music, ete. A new novelty is to see a large lamp suspended from a staff at one end of our beautiful island, and ladies and gents skating by its light. -1t looks so beautiful as the rays fall and sparkle on the smooth surface of the ice.

Can there ever be a doubt as to the truth of the expositions of secret societies now being seld here, as Dr: Cook, of Albion, has his signature appended thereto? Those chains which the doctor had around bis neck scared him. Quite an accident occurred to C. C. Watkins and son the other day. They hitched a colt to a new top carriage, and the colt took frignt ata black hog, and the result was a demolished carnage. “Hang the luck!” was Clark’s ultimatum. s

. Walter Gauntt is getting up the plans ‘and specifications for the new hotel. The dining hall will be in the basement, and the first floor will 'be used entirely for office and parlors. It is to be the best constructed house for hotel purposes in the county. & -

Conundrums seem to be the rage. Here is one: ‘Why is an elephant like a wheel-barrow? Answer — Because neither can climb'a tree.” I never exactly .could see the point, and I wish this one definitely explained, and it will forever settle the conundrum business. . : We ‘understand that T. P. Kessler is about to erect a brown stone front for the accommodation of his numerous friends. Just like T.P.; he is a genial, whole-souled fellow, who wishs to have comfortable quarters for his vigitors. Full particulars will be given in due time. )

The report is current that a warrant has been issued for the arrest of one of our citizens who has been engaged in canvassing for an eastern story paper. “There was no intention of cheating or defrauding any one, whatever the circumstances may seem to develop,” says the interested party. ‘ : - A destructive fire occurred on Sunday night, on the farm of Capt. T. M. Evans. ‘- His large barn, including contents, consisting of 450 bushels wheat, hay, etc, was destroved. The steam threshing machine owned by Jacob Browand was also burned. Supposed to be the work of an incendiary. : Rome City has reached hard pan, bed rock, and from now on we expect to make rapid strides on the upward tendency, and compete with some of the neighboring sister towns. .As a summer resort it is to'be made more attractive than ever, this season. Little by little each year, and we will soon become the envied town of northern Indiana. As regards beautv of location, and scenery, we cannot be surpassed or equaled at this time. Messrs. Owen, Swinehart & Co. are having sixteen new Clinker row-boats built at Petosky, Mich., at a cost of from $25 to $5O each. They will have everything in readiness for the pleasure seeker who wishes to rusticate on our beautiful lake, when the season opens. - All can then be accommodated with first-class boats at reasonable figures One of the boats was ordered especially large for the use of the editor of THE BANNER, gratis. = Feb. 10, 1879. % %

I suppose all of your correspondents will bave something to say in reply to *“Valet’s” question referring to defense, 80 will venture my humble opinion. I don’t think it could be set up as a defense, except as on contract. As A owes B $lO, and B has sold A a value of $9, and A agrees to credit the debt with that amount, thea if A sues B he can plead it as a defense; otherwise he must plead a set-off.

Better Prices for Hogs and Grain. (Indianapolis Sentinel.] » We are gratified to learn that there is an active demand for provisions and grain at advancing prices, which warrant the eonclusion that operators will be able, in some measure at least, to make up for past losses. - The demand is nct for speculation but for consumption, and evidences the fact that quotations have reached “hard pan,” and that no further concessions are possi ble. The advance in eorn and wheat, as also in hogs, is indicative that operators will have some margin for profits, which at prices that have prevailed for some time past have made impossible. The Russian plague, which has closed the Black Sea ports, has put a stop to exportations of grain, and to a large degree made European markets dependent upon American supplies for breadstuffs. In provisions a higher range of prices is inevitable sipce hogs have advanced from $2.25 in January to $3.75 to $4 as at piesent quoted, with reduced receipts at Chicago and all the packing centres of the country. ey e

Some of our readers will remember little Charley Behler, of Garrett, who was struck by a portion of a railway torpedo which exploded while he and some of his companions were playing with it last July, a portion of it tearing through his skull and exposing the brain. His life was. despaired of at one time, but he was taken to Fort Wayne where a silver plate was inserted over the wound, and he had nearly recovered.: On last Thursday while out skating, he fell, striking his head violently upon the ice, tearing the plate from his head and starting the wound to bleeding afresh. He was carried to-his ' home where he bled to dehth.on Friday., He was buried on Saturday.—Aduburn Republican. =

- Mary Parr is the daughter of a very wealthy farmer of Decatur eounty.— She was seduced and deserted a few years, and was driven from home by her parents, since which time she has sought' work in the neighborhood.

How an Inebriated Father Murdered His Son. CoLumBIA CITY, Ind., Feb. sth.—A terrible murder 'was committed four miles west of this place, on the Ward farm, last night, which has no parallel - in this county. Yesterday, George Ward, accompanied by his two sons, Frank and George, came to town to do some trading, and by the time they were ready to start for home they were pretty full of bad whisky. They reached home at dusk, and put away the team. Mrs. Ward was engaged in preparing supper. . Ward came in and commenced abusing her for some very slight irregularities, which drunken husbands can always see. The boys objected to the father's abuse, and, after parleying, they turned in and thrashed Ward-quite severely. c e Ward shertly afterward went out of - the house and came back with an ax. Frank, the elder brother, got away from him, while George, in attempting to escape, was cornered, Ward dealing him a blow which split his head open, killing himlnstantly. Bleod and brains were spattered over the wall and all over the father. © - .ol wlizn o As soon as the act was committed Ward became perfectly sober, and was nearly crazed with grief, and he “gave. himself up without any remonstrance. The deceased is twenty-one years of age, and the faverite son 6f Ward. The male portion of the family do not bear a very good reputation, as they arealways fighting and drinking, * Ward, however, is in good circumstances. ' The affair has caused a great deal of excitement in this place.. A Coroner’s . inquest returned a verdict in accordance with the facts given above.

Glorious Thoughts. (South Bend Herald.) : The date of our political récollections run back to the administration of John Quincy Adams. We remember of paying our personal respects te “the old man eloquent” and taking him by the hand. This is what he wrote about the Bible:—“As I advance in years I feel more and more distrust of all selffermed opinions on religion. I throw myself upon the simple word of God, I receive what that teaches. I go where that leads.” - How much better this sounds than the senseless twaddle of Bob Ingersoll! ;. A man who receives what the Bible teaches and goes where the Bible leads, is sure of his presemt }and future happiness. * When Mr. ‘Adams fell from hisseat in the House | ;)f g]epres:niaﬁvei and cried out —“this 8 the last of earth”—the pearly gates had already opened to him the joys of - heaven.
