.Local Correspondence. KENDALLVILLE. Ella Colgrove is still visiting here. - - Harvest never comes to such as sow not. . : ‘Mr. Hunt’s health is improving very slowly. ’ ‘Heavy rain and wind storm on Sunday afternoon. T Steve Parrish was seen upon our streets last Saturday. Youbegin to notice that the évenings are getting longer now. s Every summer is “the hottest time I ever saw in this country.” - - Give cross dogs a wide berth when you meet them on the street. About fifty of Allen township’s citizens picnicked at Rome on Saturday. Assistant oil inspector David Hough inspected petroleum oil in this city on Tuesday. e Mr. Cheatham has sold his household goods and intends removing to New York state. : Batchelder & Pierce have returned from their canvassing tour .through Michigan. '. Brave men and women are they who are not afraid to wear old clothes until they can buy new. . , John Campbell was kicked on the arm by his horse the other day, bruising and cutting it some. Adam Fceehl gave bail and has taken an appeal in the cases decided against him for selling liquor on the Fourth. The mowing machine didn’t gather in a very large crop of legs about here this season. Are all the awkward people useé up? : It takes all the enjoyment out of a game of croquet to hear it called “an amusement within the reach of the feeblest intellect.” There are many things in this world

that are as deceiving as a fish hook with a worm on it; you don’t feel the point until you bite. Fine,dry earth, such as can be shoveled up by the cart-load in any country road during dusty seasons, is recomniended as being an excellent disinfectant. : : All who are interested in our present bountiful crops are requested to join in a grand celebration at Rome City on Thursday. Turn out and have a good time. : ‘ : Julius Lang, jr., buried his child last Thursday ; aged about 9 months. This was the first death in this place for some time, It is unusually healthy at present., ‘ | - Charles Randall’s arm was not torn ygfi, as reported in the LaGrange paper. It was only broken. He was in Milford last Thursday and had it done up in splints. < Curtis Brouse returned from his trip to Michigan and reports his sick daughter as'being convalescent. He reports his sons prospering finely, and says the crops in EatofA county are good. ~Dr. S. T. Williams was called upon on Monday morning to re-set a dislocated jaw for Mrs. Charles Williams. This is not the first time that her jaw has been out of place, but she hopes it ‘will be the last. ‘ John Miller fell from a building on Mitchell street, bursting his nose and bruising himself otherwise considerably. Heis doing well and will soun be around again. Dr. Williams is the attending physician. : o

As the worthless tramps are entering dwellings without permission, make them imagine they feel the eoncussion of a board in close proximity with that part of the pants where the flag of truce is generally located. The youthful urchin,after he succeeds in getting himself outside of a peck of apples, a few early roasting ears, a green watermelon and a few gallons of berries, quietly reposes to dream of the past and hopes of the future. ‘- Jos. H. Humphries, formerly agent ab the G. R.& 1. depot in this place, but living now at Pierceton, spent a few days in town last week. While here ‘he .disposed of, his property on Mott street to Charles: Wilks for $9OO cash. Jackson Lehr, while at work with his team on Mitchell street last Thursday, was kicked in the face by one of his horses, breaking the cheek or temporal bone. When last heard from he was doing well, Dr. 8. T. Williams having the case in charge. ; /! - Some editorial weather prophet says that the almadacs for 1880'have already commenced to appear, and from them he gleans the fact that tHere are to be seven eclipses d.ufi_fl,g the season which may be counted on as a certglntg—fiour of the sun, two of the moon and one of the republican party. =~~~ . A road-scraper .is.a first-rate scarecrow. to stand up in the fence corners along the roadside to frighten horses. and make them run away or wheel around and mash a buggy all to pieces. People that are so careless and unthoughtful ought to be excused from

voting and working the roads. The village lad now wishes he had been born a farmer’s boy, so that he could sneak out to the watermelon patch, pull the largest melons on the vines, scoop out the core with his fingers and eat till he was almost ready to burst, and then go to the house and lie about it if accused of the deed. John Spooner’s barn, east of Lisbon, was struck by lightning last Sunday afternoon, and it, with the contents, camsisting of hay, wheat and farm'implements, was burned. No insurance. He had hauled a lot of wheat to market on Saturday, but there were still 170 bushels in the barn at the time of the fire. i o

The department of agriculture estinates that the losses to sheep owners by‘the ravages of dogs reach qne million dollars annually in the mutton and wool actually destroyed. These figures give the direct losses only. The indirect loss,in the discouragement of sheep x‘q&ingj cannot of course ever be estimated ‘with any approach to definifenfi, but it seems reasonable to suppose that they would not be less than the fi%@res just given, and quite likely they W gld be much greater. : : - A telegram from the coroner at Bryall; Ohio, to Mrs. Joseph Houser, last F¥iday, conveyed the sad news.that 18 husband had commitfed suicide in tH@ jail at that place. Houser was aragled here some two or three weeks ago for forging a draft on the Bryan Bank. Itnow seems, however, that he simply vouched for another man who drew the money on a draft which afterwards proved to be forged. Houser resided in this place about two years, and was buat very little known by our people. e had the réeputation and ap‘peéared to be an honeést, hard-working man. Ie was either dishonest in this or badly duped.

There is no situation that cannot discover alower depth. Here is a newspaper comforting a man who has lost both legs with the information that he wor’t hereafter be troubled with corns.

L We were wrongly informed in reference to the huckleberry crop, there not being an abundance. ’ ; Miss Nannie Huber, of this vicinity, is dangerously ill at present writing from the effects of a bee-sting in the face. ] L | Mrs. McConnell, of Pennsylvania, accompanied by her brother-in-law, visited her brother, Mr. Robert Luckey, last week. : The dedication of the new United Brethren church at Indian Village will be 1n three weeks from next Sunday, or August 31st. We are informed there will be some able ministers from abroad to officiate. . We learn that a little daughter of Perry Galloway was stung some time ago by a bee, since which time she has ‘ been suffering intense pain, it having settled in the brain. At present writing all hopes of her recovery are given up. ' ; , A terrible fight occurred at a dance held at Martin’s, near Tippecanoe lake, one night last week, between John Mabee and McGuires, which resulted in Mabee being so severely beaten that his life is despaired of. Clubs, stones, and knives were used quite freely for a while, so we are informed. All caused by too much bad whisky. o Died, July Ist, near Memphis, Tenn., Christian Suoak, aged 26 years; son of Elder Snoak, living in this vicinity. This is a sad stroke to the parents, as he was"a very promising yourg man df more than ordinary ability and had been absent four years, engaged in ‘cotton and tobacco growing. Funeral services at Oak Grove on last Sunday by Rev. Grgham. His remains were interred in Tennessee. i We met a farmer, the other day, who told us last fall he had sown about 30 acres of wheat, but since harvest it has fallen to 20 acres, and we suppose by the time it is threshed there will be .about 15 acres of it. This is one of the many instances of measuring wheat ground, and we’ll bet our old hat (the only one we have) that wheat will yield 50 bushels to the acre. Isn’t it strange how ground will shrink after the wheat is cut off of it? Next big turn-out. S - DORA. -

About Editors, - . » Every editor loves to haye hia friends and particularly his readers; to call on him. They belong to the same family, as it were.. But when you call to see the editor don’t stay too long. Editors are usually very busy in business hours. If you have a suggestion to make or news to communicate, state it in the fewest words pussible. Don’t offer any excuse or indulge in a long preface to what you have to say. Blurt it right out; tell the editor you wish him well, and bid him good day. Editors dote on such men as these. They love to have calls from them. Don’targue with him. Don’t try to do it. He’s got no time for argument while at work. ‘When you occasinally write to an editor for publication, make it short; boil it down.' Piteh right in to the middle of your subject, and be sure to stop writing when you are through. Editors like something fresh and original in the way of communication, and they are especially fond of news. But the ‘editor must be the judge of what is ‘worthy of publication, Of course every ; writer thinks his own production the ‘best, just as every mother thinks her ‘baby the prettiest that ever was born. But the editor may be so stupid as to ‘have a different opinion. 1f so it can‘not be helped. © Don’t get huffy about iit, don’t ‘try to argue him out of his notion. If he is too stupid to appreciate a good thing, you can’t expect to remedy his dullness. -You may think you are a great deal smarter than the )editor, and mayhbe you are; but the e¢dJitor is responsible for the publication, ‘and you are not.. There is no class of } men so anxious to please a majority of ‘the people as editors are. There is no ‘class 80 covetous of the good opinion of others. It is well to remnember that fact.—Hax. | .

: .. Banged Hair. | - “(Sensible Exchange.) : To our sight, there is nothing sadder than a sane woman with her hair banged. : : 2 A lunatic might be excused such an erratic style of bair dressing, but how a woman in the full possession of her facultzes, and with'the knowledge that she has a character to keep up, can wear her hair banged, is, to us, a.profound mystery. = . : From whence came the style? What originated it? Who set it afloat? Nobody on earth can say truthfully that 1t is beautiful. We have never heard that it was healthy. =We never heard of its curing the liver complaint, or the rheumatism. It does not render any one’ more liable to draw a prize in a Jlottery. It does not insure the wearer against being drowned, or struck by lightning, or bored by sewing machine agents, - , It does not make'a tall woman look shorter, or a short one look taller, or a fat oneleaner, and if it is becoming to any human face, ‘then the face has escaped our notice! ety It will metamorphose the- prettiest girl of our acquaintance into a monstrosity, and for its effects on a plain woman !—may the saints deliver us from seeing 1t! s : 'Directions for Canning Tomatoes. Have found it cheaper to can my own tomatoes than to buy them canned. I do not scald my tomatoes, but ‘put them in bake pans, just-as they are; of course 11-have washed and dried them first; I let them bake fifteen minutes, then I take them out and pour off the fluid which has come from them; this liquid I throw'away; then I peel my tomatoes when they are cold; I now cook them in a large kettle for a-full hour and a half; when scalding hot I putthem in my tins and solder; I generally warm my tins, so that in. cooling the vacuum is more perfect; I put neither salt nor pepper in the tomatoes; I never think of putting them up before the 10th-of August; then they are ripe. 2

" Pror. BENCKE, of Marburg, Germany, after measuring 970 human hearts, says that the growth of that organ is greatest in the first and second years of life. At the efd of the second year it is doubled in size, and during the next five years it is again- doubled. Then its growth is much slower, though from the fifteenth to the twentieth year -its size increases by two-thirds. A very slight growth 18 then observed up to fifty, when it gradually diminishes. Kxcept in childhood, men’s hearts are decidedly larger than those of women. - v S

A sick person, wanting nourishment and having lost-appetite, can often be sustained by the following when nothing else could be taken: Make a strong cup of coffee, adding boiling milk, as usual, only sweetening rather - more; take an egg, beat yolk and white together thoroughly; boil the coffee, milk and sugar together and pour i over the beaten egg in the cup you are going to serve it in. This simple receipt is used frequently in huspital practice.—Ew. 4 et q&\
