Last week the two purchased a little over four tons, and MecArtney beat Kime ouly six pounds. School was commenced in the old schonl house at Muskrat corners this week. A new building was erected but the district will not accept it. John Gallup, the contractor, claims that he tried to do the fair thing, and that he built it according to contract,.plans and specifications. There appears to be some fault found with the walls of the new building. ~ It.is reported that Charles Kimball has been pardoned out of the penitentiary by the President and is now home again. Charley is a good fellow and we wouldn’t be much surprised if he got back on the road again.

Our young folks are talking of organizing a reading club here this winter. We say: Go ahead, boys; that has a better tendency to advance knowledge than loafing. The tune called “Joe Bowers” was handled to perfection on the stage in one of the Chicago theaters during the Grant boom by one of the former correspondents of THE BANNER. The middle conference of this district was held in the Lutheran church at this place on Tuesday, the 25th, to ascertain who will be the preacher for this charge the coming year. Mr. J. B.

Quite a severe accident happened to Mr. Irving Mayfield while hunting in the woods in Michigan.” He accident ally discharged the contents of his gun into his left arm, which had to be amputated above the elbow joint.

The Importation Business., - (Saturday’s Indianapolis Sentinel.) The sort of emigrants that are coming to Indiana are thus alluded to in a special to the Chicago 7'rtbune of yesterday from Washington: ‘ A party,of 60 colored emigrants from Lagrange county, N. C., left this city to-night for Indiana, where they propose to settle in Wayne county. The party remained here for two days, waiting for the National Emigrant Aid society to raise means te pay for their transportation. They were quartered in cars furnished by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and were fed by the Women’s Christian association. So it means that they had not enough money to get farther than Washington. Why so desirous to ship them to Indiana? Pennsylvania needs them quite as much as Indiana. When they &r--rive in our State who is to take care of them? The Journal started a subscription for the Kansas negroes. Why does it not begin another for these poor Southern negroes who are crowding into Indiana? * et} < AP— Justice to Hon, Wm. H. English. ; [lndianapolis Sentinel.] It may be proper to add, in this connection, that a paragraph which appeared recently in another paper to the effect that he (Wm. H. English) voted for Grant in 1868, and again in 1872, has uo other foundation than the fact that, like many other Democrats, he was dissatisfied with Greeley, on the ground that Greeley was not a Democrat, but he did not vote for Grant. He was a warm supporter of Governor Seymour for president in 1868, and has been a Democrat all his life, and his:father before him was a sterling Democrat. ; ;

sMisfortunes Never Come Singly.” The news of Zach. Chandlers’ death had scarcely startled the republican party before the rude telegraph flashed the sad, sad news that Eliza Pinkston is under arrest for the murder of her husband, in a quarrel, at Canton, Miss. Unless we immediately demand “a stropger government” to protect some of the people who connted Hayes in they will surely die suddenly, or be hung for their characteristic virtues.— LaPorte Argus. i

John Kelly’s vote in New York is nearly 77,000 and Cornell is in a minority of about 40,000, In view of this result it is not strange that the republican managers of New York should meditate schemes for taking away the election of next President from the vote of the people of that State. ' - ‘

. TROYER’'S TRANSES. Remarkable Story of a Man Who Delivered the Most Powerful Sermons While in an Unconscious Condition. . . "(Special dispatch to the Cincinnat: Times.)’ VISTULA, IND., Nov. 20.—Last night we were an gye witness to what we must consider one of the strangest exhibition of spirit control of modern times.. While welistened to ene of the most impressive sermons we ever heard, it was hard to believe that the preacher was in an unconscious state, yet such was the case, . ; Noah Troyer, a highly respected farmer of Johnston county, fowa, a member of the Amish Mennonite church of that place, came to our neighborhood yesterday to visit i;gends and acquaintances here, he havingfformerly lived in this vicinity. When it was made known that he was here the neighbors flocked in from all directions.— We were one of the first arrivals, ‘and awaited with interest the beginning of the strange performances of which ‘we had heard so much. Mr, Troyer is a mediumsized man, about forty-eight years old, of a friendly, sociable disposition. He had just stepped out when we arrived, but came back in a few minutes and conversed pleasantly with old acquaintances whom he had not seen for eight or ten years. Presently his head began to droop, and his friends advised him to lie down on a lounge which they had prepared for him. He had scarcely time to reach it when he apparently fell into -a sound sleep, and in a few minutes he was seized with violent convulsions. He struck about him wildly with his hands, but his lower limbs soon became as stift as death. After lying in this state an hour he extended his open hand torward Heaven, as if engaged in silent prayer, - Every ear was strained to catch the first word he.'might utter as he broke the oppressive silernice with a rshort but earnest prayer, He then made an effort o arise, and, with the assistance of his wife and :@n uncle, who accompany him, he reashed the floor in a Kneeling posture- He then uttered another fervent prayer L'hankin% his Heavenly - Father for protecting him in nis j%lrueg' and asking for hls spiritual presence and guidance. With the assistance of his friends he now arose to his feet. They supported him a moment and then stepped back and sat down to listen to his eloquent discourse. . His text on this oceasion was this: *lf the rl%hteous scarcely shall be saved, where will the sinner and the unFodL‘v,appear?” As he became warmed up with his subject he walked back and forth through the room, emphasizing his thrilling words with appro*)riate gestures, his eies, meanwhile, being tightly closed. He spoke about an hour in the English language, when, stopgm% short in his discourse, . he cluteched his head with his hands asif in reat pain ; then again extending his hands ‘ﬁeavenward as if to invoke divine power, he began to preach in the German language, and all who understood him were moved to tears.— Although bhe preached about two hours, we never before saw an audience give such close attention to a two-hours’ sermon. Before he closed he requested his hearers to sing, “A charge to keep I haye” and *lhr junge geldeu aufgewacht” (awaken, ye young heroesd;) Then kneeling down he returned thanks to God Al- , mightly in the German la,nguuge (his ogemng prayer was in English). As he uttered the last word of his prayer he fell back, and would have dropg»ed to the -floor if his attendants had not caught. him, He was again laid upon the lounge in a rigid and helpless condition. While the audience was singi—n%l the hzmns ne had announced ne,kefm his riﬁ‘t hand raised, as if to convey the melody to Heaven, It is‘now about three years since Mr, Troyer began occa.slonall% to speak in this wav. At first he would not believe it when gold how he had spoken.
