It isfeared it may terminate in a strike. - . —T'ruit-growers are nof seriously alarmed on account of any trouble *they may have in disposing of the peach crop the present season, in this locality. e R —lt’s about time for the caterpillar to set up housekeeping and exercising on the slack rope among the apple . trees and make trouble for the Ix‘u;t - growers, . . L . —Few young men who have the proper self-respect- will no longer neglect to place a rose-vud in his buttonhole and carry a neatly peeled switch in his dexter hand. ! s —A great many fields of wheat were so rank and heavy that the wind and rain of the past week laid them level - with the ground and did a good deal of damage. ' i **Pupils attending the Northern: Indiana Normal Music School, which convenes at-Albion, July 8, will have no fee to.pay for the ‘use of piano or organ. o o 8-w3. —A horse attached to a buggy ran away on Tuesday evening, and passed up Cavin street at a break neek speed, For all we know, the horge may be running yet. . e .. —Mrs. McDannel, wife of E.QMcDarinel, formerly of this place, but now living at Nappanee, hag a very severe stroke of palsy on Sunday last., Her _recovery is doubtful.

Church bell. .For the dead the bell will only be tolled by special request. For church services on Sundays the bell will' be tolled for 10 minutes in place of giving the second ringing, after which serviceés will immediately begin. et e ; - —We hear it remarked that road mending, as a general thing, has been done in a‘more workmanlike manner this season than common. While it 1s - pleasant to chronicle many changes for the better in/ this respect, it must be added that thereis still abundant room for improvement. Farmers ought, to take pride in having good roads in. their, districts ; and the way to make good roads is not to spoil those already in fair condition by a half-finished job of “mending.” S i —DPicnics are undoubtedly a great institution. Nothing else so’relieves the dull monotony of, every-day business life, eases up the over-taxed brain .and refreshes and invigorates a fellow as a day’s picnicing in the sylvan dells, amid nature’s smiles, babbling brooks, red-hot lemonade, rancid sardines, flirtations and all that makes the heart stand on one leg and whoop. But it is hard on the young man whose girl swings with some other fellow, and death on white pantaloons. : - —Through the kindness of Mr: Harter, of Wabash, we are in recéipt of a copy of the constitution and .by-laws of the North Lake and River Association of Northern Indiang.

Mitchell, of Goshen, Vice President of the association. **Persons expecting to attend any music school this season should note the following in reference to Straub’s Normal Musical Institute which holds a four weeks session at the High School Building at Ligonier, commencing Wednesday, June 25th: (1.) The Prin-| cipal has had twenty vears’ experience in teachang music and is ‘the;anthb‘r'ot six dpop lar singing books. (2.) Six godd teachers will accomplish much more than one or two. (3.) The teachers excel in their specialties both as instructors and performers, thus teaching by example~—the only way that music can be taught. (4.) Many of the best singers, players, teachers and com_posérs in the countrx;y hayve gained their ~qualification in 8, N, M.I, .

Morse, teacher of piano and organ, in S. N. M. 1., has taken a thorough course with the best masters in Europe and Las a national reputation as teacher and concert player. The large ‘cities contain no better teachers. * Those who are teaching or gtudying music shonld not miss this opportunity of taking at least a few lessons of so eminent a teacher. |

—We are 1n receipt of the following additional information in regard to the boat race at Kendallville: “The boats to be used in the Kelly-Boltz boat race are’lll}4 inches wide, 29 feet long, and weigh 23 pounds, They are made of paper, and will earry 170 pounds. It is thought that Kelly is oyer-matched, but lots of money will change hands. The winner of the race is to go-to Toledo and row in a regatta for championship of North-Western States, July 4th, 1879.” S e **The full course at Straub’s Normal Musical Institute is only $lO, and includes over 150 class lessons in Theory of Music,Notation, Harmony and Thorough %ase, Composition, Methods of Teaching and Conducting, Voice Culture and. Solo Singing, and drill in Church Music, and the study of the Great Masters. Should you.go to Chicago or Boston for the same instruction the expense would be about five times as great. Procure your tickets at J. H. Hoffman’s. ‘ L

—-The recent sale by John Morrow of the two-year-old Clydesdale colt, “Schuyler Colfax,” to Mr. Wm. Brown of near Churubusco, for the sum of four hundred dollars, deserves more than a passing notice. = The colt is really a remarkably fine specimen of horseflesh, and the handsome sum realizéd by Mr. Morrow demonstrates the -advantage of investing in blooded stock. Although $4OO seems a high price for & two year old colt, Mr. Morrow as well as Mr. Brown regard that sum one hundred dollars below the real value of “Schuyler.” lln fact, Mr. Brown, after ascertaining Mr. Morrow’s figures, remarked that he expected $5OO would be asked for the colt, and he considers. himself fully one hundred dollars ahead. . But for the fact that Mr. Morrow has'charge of the famous Clydesdale stallions and young stock acecumulating, he would not have parted with “Schuyler Colfax,” ‘ l

— The American Saengerfest will nex/, year be held in the eity of Chicago. —-If Ligonier can’t get up a respectablle celebration, let her fire her anvils and. wave her standards to the breeze, on the morning of the 4th of July, -—The fun-loving portion of our community seem to find little pleasure in the seasonable luxuries of bathing and base ball. What’s the matter? - _—ln afew short weeks the farmer’s big dog will make the sharp points of a picket fence feel as, soft as downy pillows to the small boy whose appetite craves a bait of green apples. . **All our singers who cannot possibly take the full course at the Musical Tnstitute should not fail to attend the Chorus Class which will meet on Wednesday evening of next week at 7:30. The best nfusic in the world will be studied in this class four evenings in each week. Get your tickets at J. H. Hoffman’s and be at the first rehearsal.

'The Temperance Work.. | " The temperance “wave now rolling over Ligonier and vicinity moves on, notwithstanding the fact that almost every one has already donned the red. Men are still being nightly importuned 10 abandon their cups, and not a meeting has yet been held but that some one has been found who had not yet signed. when he isat once brought forward.~Of course there are many who have not yet signed and who would not even should they hear the summons from above. The meetings during the past week seemed to grow in interest, and were all largely attend; ed. Sunday’s meeting was dismissed ju{s,ﬁ at, thie opening on account of the. near approach of a storm. On Sunday eve., the M. E. church was crowded to its uttermost, and Mr. Hallenbeck made one of his best efforts. Although the weather was very chilly on Monday and Tuesday evenings the attendance at the street. meeting was exceedingly large. On Monday eve., stirring appeals were also made by Dr. Gross, and Mr. Tomlin, and on Tuesday eve. by Rev. McKaig.. Mr. Hallenbeck seems to have entered into the work here this time with more energy, more. zeal, more earnestness than ever before, and his labors have proved a grand gnd complete victory for the cause. To-night a festival for the benefit of Mr. H. and the club will be held at Kann's Hall. Of course everybody will go, and the hall will no doubt be packed. Lots of good things will be on ‘hand angd a rousing time is anticipated. On gunday next another rally will be held in Chapman’s Grove, in the south part of town, and in the even ing at the M. E. Church. These two last meetings will close Mr. Hallenbeck’s efforts in the temperance cause in this place. The good wishes of all temperance people of Ligonier will go with him to his new field of labor wherever that may be. P

, An Old’Coin. A gentleman in Albion' claims to have the oldést coin in the country—ninety years old, we are told. Mr. Thomas Baughman exhibited to us lagt Tuesday a British coin bearing date 1744, making it 135 years old. =i GosHEN, IXD,, June 16, 1879. Dear Sir—l clipped tlie' above from THe BANNER of recent date. I send you by mail to-day a British coin bearing date 1695—184 years old—which please accept as asmall token of regards for yourself, and oblige, yours iy, A. M. PARSONS. - The coin aboye referred ,to by our esteemed friend Parsons is remarkably well preserved for its age. In size and weight it is somewhat greater than a Trade dollar. It bears these inseriptiors: “GULIELMUS IIIL, DEI GRA-,”—the translation of, which, is: William lIIL, by the Grace-of God. On the other side are the words: “REX" (1695) MAG. BR., FRA. ET H18.,”— meaning King ot Great Britain, France and Ireland, 1695. A thousand thanks, friend Parsons, for this ancient coin.-

Saturday’s Storm. | The storm on Saturday:afternoon which touched rather lightly here was very severe farther south and east, and in many places it was fatal in its effects. Deaths by lightning strokes are reported from several towns. Here and in other parts of the county the extent of the damage is confined to the breaking and uprooting of shade and forrest trees, leveling tences and chimneys. The greatest damage is to the wheat crop. -In many localities the wheat is blown so flat that it will hardly recover. L : : At Milford in Kosciusko county several buildings were blown down., In Elkhart county several barns were razed and a new school house, which cost $lO,OOO was 8o badly damaged as to be useless. One end of the agricultural ware house of Mr. Day was blown in. The damage in Elkhart county to crops was very great.—South Bend Tribune. : : . !

According to all accounts, the golden wedding of thé Emperor was a fine show. German royalty and blue blood made a grand display., Such shows of aristocratic task masters who live off of the toil of poor men are well calculated to make Socialists in Germany or anywhere elge, ;

The Vertical Feed, as now perfected and applied to “The New Davis Sewing Machine,” is admitted by the hest living experts to be the greatest advance in sewing mechanism sindegfth-e inyention of Sewing Machines. “The Davis” does every variety of sewing possible with the old underfeed machines, and in addition it accomplishes an *“immense range of beautiful work utterly impossible for any other Machine to duplicate,”. which is convincing proof of the superiority over all competitors. The simplicity, ease of management and effectiial manner in which the “Vertical Feed” overcomes the “many faults and defects” of all underfeed machines is surprising.
