The ice business is now *scooped;” everybody is chock full and running over, and the lake looks like a tar kettle, the way it smokes these cool mornings. The pay car on the G.

Upon investigation we find that tLe note ot Dr., Collett, published in THE BANNER, is a fabrieation. =He inform€d a large portion of our citizens that he was \going to make his brother a visit at Van Weit, O. Why not te.l the truth, Dr.? s ; The last place for “Pedco” hds been closed, and no more will his_ music be

heard in the land until he warbles into existence with the early spring birds, when he may be found on the sunny grassy banks around our beautiful lake in all his glory. |

We have a sanctified fellow here who would not allow his children te sing in a Sunday School concert for the reason that they would come in contact with worldly people. He could work on the ice, however, with the fathers of those worldly children, and hear a fellow d—n a cake of ice without blushing. The Blue Ribbon Society have con,élmmat;ed an eflicient organization by placing Dr. Hosier 1n the priccipal chair, R. 'B. Williams, Ist vice, Wm. Dixon, 2nd vice, and M. F. Owen, 3d vice presidents; Miss Lissa Williams, secretary; L. S. Howe, corresponding secretary. A first-class set of officers, and we bespeak for the society a brilliant career. :

» How ungrateful some of our county officers are. After they are elected to office they.are verv independent, and do not seem to realize that they are under obligations to any one for assistance in placing them in such indepen‘%nt positions. All such should be marked; yes! indellibly stamped.— l;fark ithe prediction, all such will receive their due reward in time! The meanest principle ‘in man isingratitude. e - ‘

The LaGrange county fellows think they are cute in their attempt to get a slice of Noble county. And they are receiving encouragemenf from their representative, Taylor, who is using ‘his influence in their behalf. - They act and talk as though the balance of Noble county, outside of this strip, had no say in this matter. Our best citizens in the county have stamped the intended steal of part of our domain, by petition and letter to our worthy representative, who will smother it so low that Representative Taylor, with a ten mile-pole, could notreach if. *.* date G ol gl R

S AVIIILA. A new grocery in Avilla, by Fryer Fog. : ]% Quite an exciting time in Avilla on 'l‘uesday of last week. : ' The weather is not favorable to many of the Avillaites. It was 5% and 6° below zero on Friday and Saturday morning. : i Mr. Noggle is doing good work in the flouring mill. He has repaired the vrhole mill with the exception of the Harge boiler. e i A second joint institute was held by the Allen and Wayne township teachers. The query box was quite a queer | thing, and some queer ideas given to a few very good and sensibfe queries, The |lyccum at Wheeler’s schoolhouse is quite interesting. Come and hear the question decided: “ Resolved that the people vote directly for the President and Vice President.” It will be decided for the people. On Saturday, the Bth, there were two singers caged in the cage east of the school building. They were nighthawks, we think, and were caught at 1 o’clock A.M. Their mates departed when the officers entered the grogShop, . i : » 'Too many of our grocervmen in this place are trading in flour. Do not, by these means, cause the farmers to haul their wheat to a neighboring mill and do their business there. Our flouring mills will add much more than our little groceries. : A few rogues who committed some depredations on a train on the 1.. 8. & M. S. R.

McConnell was taken suddenly ill at the institute Saturday. ' Wm. Carter lost a horse Saturday. He was driving it and it fell and broke its leg. He bhad to shoot it. = Feb. 14th the first male direct from heaven(?) brought William Crawford a valentine, a boy; nine pounds. 'W.

Hartman, of this place, commenced a protracted effort at Brimfield Monday. The Institute met on Saturday, and was well attended. J. M. Trump gave us some goed ideas on “inate tact;” B. A. Konkle some on grading recitations; consecutive answers by Mr. Franks; order on the school premises, by Mr. Kitchen, was very interesting. Miss Gerver handled the subject, “frequent recitations,” with great credit. A vote of thanks was tendered Prof. Luke for kindness in assisting in various topies, Instruction in preparing lessons, by J, B. Smith, and teacher’s authority to punish, by J. M. Trump, methods of interest in recitation, by Mr, Nichols, was very interesting Among the visitors we noticed * Miss Vail and Miss Wandell, of Ligonier, a.d several ladies and gentlemen from this vieinity,. =~ . 87, ELwmo.

For the past four weeks there has been protracted meeting at the Wesleyan Methodist Church. - Dr. Cook, the anti-Mason lecturer, has returned from a. trip through the southera part of the State. M. H. Cazier has returned from Chicago. He has been attending Rush Medical College since last fall. 7 The deputy sheriff arrested Jack Katlen at Avilla, on Saturday might, on a charge of assault and battery. We are glad to state that Frank Downey, who was so badly hurt while putting up ice at Syracuse, is slowly recovering. e

Marriagg licenses were granted last week as follows: James B. Pepple to Mary E. Walver; E. W. Huntsman to Ella C. Bortner; Christopher Hawk to Hilinda Fisher. ; . Mr. Ben. Waltman met with a very serious accident while skidding logs on Wednesday last. His leg was caught between the logs, the flesh torn off and the bone fractured. ~ ; . ‘A young man of this place had his sweet-heart walk all the way from Kendallville to see her intended moth-er-in-law. He says if God spares him, he will be a married man before she returns. : : : Dr. Clark’s trial, at Indianapolis, went off one day last week, but the jury agreed to disagree Doc, will therefore have another trial in June. He has secured the services of Hon. T. A. Hendricks to assist him in the trial. . Some excitement was ereated over a horse trade cne day last week: One of the traders was beat, when he claimed the‘horse to be his wife’s, and wanted to rue bargains; the other fellow did not see it in that light and hid the animal; search warrant was issued and the beast was found after a two days’ search, and the whole affair may now end in a law-suit. .

WASIHINGTON TWP. Whew! Everybody and their dogs have been hunting. The Gilbert heirs have sold the old place. to Joseph Calbeck, of Sparta. Literary at Salem is ausgespielt, on account of some dissatisfaction among the members in reference to order. - The Wolf Lake band gave a concert at Etna on last Wednesday eve. We did not learn as to their success, financially. WP e e Latereports from Ford county, Kan., say most of, the farmers have sowed their spring wheat, and are now. preparing for corn planting, : War! War! War has been declared by quite a number of our citizens against a tribe commonly called skunks, and they are being slayed by the hundred, and by the stench, we fear they don’t care for their dead. Again some vile curs played sad havoc with ’Squire Huber’s sheep, this time Kkilling thirteen and crippling seventeen, so we are informed. We did not learn the appraisement of the sheep, but responsible parties did the ’praising. :

One morning last week, while traveling, we came near making our fortune by finding a cradle quilt, (an article we just needed) a sheet, a pan of fried meat and two loaves of bread; all laying in the road. .We suppose they were lost by movers. il

Allen Baugher and Will Wineland cut four thonsand hoop-poles, for which they received the sum of eighteen cents per hundred. This is getting so close to hard pan that it is impossible for any laboring man to pay for his board at such wages. ~ Mr. Editor, we heartily agree with your Rome City scribe in reference to the appraisement of sheep when killed by e%ogs. No doubt our trustees have beef duped out of no small-amount of funds that should have been used for other purposes, quite frequently by thiose losing sheep in this way, selecting their special friends to assess ths loss, It is generally the wealthier farmers who take an interest in raising them, and we deem it taking the advantage of the poorer class by allowing them the privilege of playing into their own hands. Wedo not say gag has been practiced in this vicinity, but we have heard of such cases in other neighborhoods. Now, to aveid .ail

such proceedings, our trustees should be intrusted with full anthority be,agpoint those to assess the losses, whieh, we think, would be'the only and sabisfactory way of disposing of such a nuisance, DoRaA.

‘Chandler’s Triumph. : ; (South Bend Register.) - sl Hon. Zachariah Chandler has baen nominated for Senator by the Republican members of the Michigan Legislature, which is equivalent to an elec-. tion. He will succeed Senator I. P. Christiancy, who resigns to aceept an appointment as minister to Peru, and will hold the office until 1881. Chandler is one of the most stalwart of the stalwarts.. He believes in an irrepressible conflict between the North and South, ‘and: will be on hand, fer his part, to see that there is some cause tor it. Chandler is heartily in favor of Grant for a third term, and the former’s election ‘will * still further stréngthen the probabilities that the Republican party will. be forced into Grant’s nomination.” It bécomes more and more plain day by day that parties will not divide on any vital issues. The Democrats are determined not to forego any of the advantages of asolid South, and = the Republicans will make this an excuse to fight the wearisome old battles all over again. The prospect of going through another presidential campaign hearing from the stump and seeing in:newspapers the sins of the South-during the rebellion paraded, is disheartening. ‘We yet live in hopes that this old straw, already flailed into little else but chaff, will not receive another threshing. -

; Archbishop Purcell’s Affairs. (From the Cincinnati Gazette.) : The trustees admit that the indebtedness exceeds a million, without counting the interest, which on part has been.running fifteen ar- twenty years. Thus the debt exceeds the yalue of of the church property conveyed to the trustees, and the amount will have to be increased in order to carry | outthe bond plan. Dur% the past week some poor depositors’have shown much impatience, anod are much alarmed lest their hard earnings have disappeared. - -Some large . creditors, who are not in distress, have been clamorous. - One rich man was 8o pressing for a small amount that V.
