Mr. Reéyher is accused of sbbotin'g a $lOO dog belonging tp Mr. McCray, who accordingly demands damages for the full amount. "Rather an expensive “dérg” we should think.

—The Steuber Republican annual is the finest that has found ‘its way to our table thus far. It is a beauty typographically and contains some invaluable statistical reports of Steuben county. It is in keeping with the general appearance-of the paper 1t represents. » . '

—We beg leave to inform the public that we are not the individual that gent out the! notices in regard to:the drive well prosecutions. Thesimilarity of names as well as countenauces sometimes gets a fellow into trouble, and .we are too modest to allow the public to mistake us for a person who writes his name as ours is written,

—John D. Rerick, for some time foréman of the Lagrange Standard offiee, has severed his connection with that daper and has “gone west” to take a position as assistant editor of the Chaffee County Times, Buena Vista, Col. If the change of climate has any material effect. on his health he will locate permanentiy in that State.

—We give in another column an article from the Laporte Argus in regard to late decisions in the matter of drive wells, This is a/subject of some interest to partics in our vicinity, as we understand that notices have been served on a large number of the farmers in this and adjoining counties. These notices are gent out by alaw firm at'lndianapolis, who are repregenting the alleged patentce. The decisions spoken of materially weaken the cases ot the plaintiff, and will bear close perusal. o : —We are in receipt of a copy of ‘Qur ‘Little Ones and the Nursery. It is certhinly one of the most handsome juvenile, periodicals that has come under our notice. The engravings are of the most artistic character and make a very Interesting feature. All parents ghould provide the little ones with -at leagt one monthly publication of this kind, and it would have a healthful effeqt in shaping their gas;e for reading matter. Write tothe Russell Publishing Company, 149 Fremont - St., Boston, for a sample copy. —The Sycamore Literary Society played the “Hidden Hand” before a Lagrange audience on Saturday evegning. The young people of the Haw-

patch are wide awake to the impor-‘ tance of a literary education and they are attending a good school, that of experience. We have been pained to notice the apathy on the part of a large per cent, of cur young people on this subject, ‘and it needs someming‘ after the style of the Sycamore society spoken of, in all communities, to awaken them to its importance, - _The rendition of the “Naiad Queen” at Union Hall on last Thursday and Friday evenings was well received by our citizens., Mr. and Mrs. Kane gave a fine illustration of their ability 1n organizing and drilliog such a large crowd of youngsters. The acting of the little ones was of such a 'character that it would be wholly impossible to praise them too much, while the older ones acquitted themgelves splendidly. The fine effect of the tableaux was greatly heightened by the splendid arrangement of most gorgeous scenery.

—Rav. George Hartsuck, of Kendallville, wag arrested in Albion last week for selling carpet stretchers. in that town without a license from the authorities, He was| fined $1 and costs but went on selling his stretchers without taking out the license. He was again arrested and fined $5 and costs, but instead of paying this fine, gwore out & writ of habeas corpus, which was tried before Judge Tousley, v“ho declared that Hartsuck had a right! to sell goods, mgn-ufactnged‘ ‘by himself, inside the corporation of Albion without asking the consent of the anthorities, o o *Oysters by the dish st Kreager's. -

—The Fort Wayne WSentinel says: “Hon. W. G. Colerick has introduced in Congress a bill granting pension to Anrn Craig, of Noble county, which was read a first and second time, referred to the Committee on Pensions and ordered printed. Mrs. Craig is an old lady, residing a few miles north of Kendallville. ler husband, Archibald Craig, was a soldier in the war of 1812 and received two land warrants by reason of said service. Mrs. Craig is 93 years of age, and it 18 hardly probable that the act for her benefit will become.a law in time for her to reap:much benefit. Nevertheless the efforts of our worthy Congressman in her behalf are no less commendable.” *The best'of drinks at fireager’s.

—All the knowledge we receive, all the pleasure we enjoy, all the pain we suffer, comes through one of the five senses. This, we believe,.is a universally admitted proposition, but the question which grows out of this, viz: Is an existence of univer--Bal pleasure when ‘pain is unknown, or an existence of universal pain when pléasure s unknowin, possible? Does not the existence of one extreme prove the existence of the other? is one on which great minds differ, and which we shall not attempt to arue, but simply call your attention to the %a,ct that of the tive senses, Sight is the most | priceless, and as soon as you find it failing %)o at once to J.

EDITOR STANDARD :— Please publish the following in explanation of an article that appeared in the Head Light in regard.to the Band Contestthat was to have been held at Kendallville: The Ligonier Band entertained a vast amount of assurance and conceit respecting its ability to successfully defeat a rival. The band was bold enough not long since to challenge the Corunna band for the championship, as to merit between the two. The prize named for the contest was $26, but the Ligonier band, believing discretion the better part of valor, after hold ing a cabinet meeting, concluded to “‘take water” on the flimsy plea,. that the prize was {OO small an inducement!’ 1f tgat’a what’s the matter with the Ligonier folks, we hereby file notice that aey needn’t abandon the contest on that account, as the stake will be promptly increased to $lOO, and the{ must either “put up or shut { up”’ The Ligonier boys will never come $o time—not much, Mary Ann, they think too much of their scalps, and the Corunna band carries a knife in its boot-leg ready for them, : We never authorized the publication’ of such an arrogant article, and hope the Ligonier Band will not let it mar the friendship that has heretofore existed between us.

—The questiion has been asked whether a citizen of an ing¢orporated town 'is eligible to the _ofiict of Road Superintendent. He is not, according to the law. It reads: “Where an incorporated town ‘or city is situated in whole or in part in a township, it shall be exempt from all the provisions of this act!” That would geem to settls it.

*Qysters by the can at Kreager’s. ' —An eastern paper says that one of its subsecribers, agad 91 years, recently walked nine miles to renew his subscription. This lets in a flood of light on what' has been for so long a mystery. It is evidently not bashfulness that keeps some subscribers back, but they are waiting till they are 91 years’ old that they may do as did the venerable gentleman above spoken of. *An amusing ¥ncident occurred dur ing the hunting season up in Michigan. The joke happened like this, and has just come to light. A black bear attacked the Ligonier party, consisting of Miles Goe, E. B. Gerber and Jacob W. Musser, and Jake, remembering the old dodge on the bear, “played ‘dead,” while the rest of the party got away. In due course of time they. re‘turned to see what had become of ‘their comrade; but the bear had simply said to Musser that “if Gerber was ‘afraid of a bear he still had the ‘boss’ place to bay Hardware, Stoves and building material. *Warm suppers at Kreager’s. ' —We , are impelled to say some‘thing in regard to-a fashion that is seemingly getting a hold on the young ladies who appear before the amuse‘ment public in almost every role. The prevailing mania among themsseems 40 be to wear dresses constructéd out of thé gaudiest material, and in such a way as to display a trail like the tail of a comet. We see no reason for 'puch a display unless it is to gain sympathy for the wearer, as we will have to admit that our disgust is not unalloyed with sympathy when we see a woman punishing herself with that kind of a c¢ostume. Is there any rule that compels & woman to choose such material, and to have a costume constructed in such an outlandish fashion ? If 80, we would ask the pardon’ of those we offend. We would welcome any woman who would have the good common sense to appear in a costume that shows: taste in its construc tion as well as comfort to the wearer,

A Bad Bill. 01 last Sunday the officers brought to Ligonier one William Hostetler, who stands charged with forgery. It seems that on or about the sth of last November this young man offered for sale at several places in town a note calling for $l5O, and signed by two responsible Hawpatch farmers. It bad the appearance of being all rigfxt and was purchased by Mr. Jacob Sheets, who soon affer found that it was a forgery, but .not before the said William had made himself scarce. . On Saturday a telegram was received from Lagrange stating that William was in custody. He was arrested for vagranéy and was supposed to know something about the many fires that have been started in that town during the past two weeks, but nothing could be proved against him and he was about to be discharged when it was remembered that our authorities wers on the look-out for an individual of the same name. Upon his arrival on Sunday. evening, he was interviewed and seemed to appreciate his position, but in no way evinced any resvet, only saying, “I guess that I will have to go up.” Ho was without money; when captured, evidently having squandered his swag (ong ago, Why lis k¢, : If a smooth-tongued stranger comes into a town he can generally get more for the same amount than. any half dozen citizens -that have lived and toiled in it for years. We have no ant,ipathy toward any stranger or strangers' who may at any time come into our town, but we cannot appreciate ‘why they should be made the recipients of about two weeks’ time of the pupils of our schools without any recompense whatever. Not only was this time lost, but in a great many instances the parents at their own expense had to furnish them with things that are of no praectical value to them at present. In thus attracting the children from school and their studies, the teachers are greatly inconvenienced, and if those same pupils do not make the advancement in their studies that is expected of them by their parents, the teachers are blamed, while they are not at fault in the least. And further, if this were a 'home organization—say our splendid band—would the citizens have allowed their children to take part and have shown such a great financial interest? What is the answer ? i ———————i Y . Grand Opening at Albion. The crowd at the grand opening of the Williams Hotel at Albion, Tuesday night, was simply immense. - Representatives from every part of the county and from adjoining towns and counties were in attendance. A grand supper was prepared which could scarcely be surpassed for excellence, and the guests seemed to be aware of the fact. Two large rooms were prepared for the dancers, who gaiiy kept time to the music of ‘the Albion bana and Ligonier orchestra antil the wee sma’ hours. Although the crowd was 80 large, there was room for ‘all, and each and all seemed to enjoy the occagion to the utmost. Mr. Williams can be congratulated upon having one of the finest hotel buildings in Northetn Indiana, and he certainly deserves a liberal patronage.. This establishment fills a long-felt want in Albion and will be appreciated by the traveling public. Among the distinguished guests from-‘abroad were Judge Low--Iy, chief-o‘ffl?qgoe Smith, Col. 18. McDonald, Eli Brown, and others.

A Card—An Errer. EDITORS BANNER —Thinking that some people are honest in their belief that it costs from twenty-five to thirty per cent. of the missionary money contributed thro’ the Society in the Methodist Episcopal Church to make disbursements and meet other expenses, I wish to correct such an erroneous impression. The fact is it now costs a littie less than one per cent. of the money contributed for }iiésibns:te pay all the expense incidental to its disbursement, 80 that a littie moré than ninety-nine cents out of every dollar goes to its proper destination. lor this statement ] have the authority which any one can investigate for himself on common sense business principles.

OUR NEIGHBORS.

Butler has the rolier skate mania, caused probably by a lack of ice on the ponds this winter. The telephone line between Goshen and Elkhart has been completed. It is pronounced a success. The wife of W. C. Glasgow, of Lagrange, died of consumption, on the 14th inst., at Chattanooga, Tenn.

A man. was arrested in Columbia City a few days since for debt. It was the first case of the kind in that county for years. : 3 Elkbart butchers have determined to close their shops on Sunday hereafter. Their action should mest with approval everywhere. : A child named Offhoner, in Whitley county, died last week of smallpox, The father and mother are both down with the disease.

* William Abel, one of the pioneers of Elkhart county, died last week at his residence in Middlebury, at the advanced age of T 1 years, = "~ Henry Peashway, a full-blooded Indian, from Dowagiae, Mich.,, has been in Warsaw for a number of days. His parents lived in that vicinity years ago.

~ Samuel S. Shutt has bought an interest in the Elkhart car works and thereby becomes one of the directors in place of Mr. Byron Merritt, of whom he bought. It is ramored that Elkhart is to have a new opera house next summer. It is to cost $25,000 and will be so arranged that the audience room will be on the ground floor. - - Warsaw has a real, genuine, dyed-in-the-wool fortine teller. She is a descendant of Ham, and can tell one’s “future” either by cards or palmistry. Blessed Warsaw! Last week while Jobhn Lisle was cutting a bar of chilled steel at Olds’ foundry, Fort Wayne, a shaving flew up, hitting the right eye ball and destroying the sight. <

On the 15th inst. Jacob Lower, of Noble county, and, Miss Ella M. MoDonald, of Lagrange county, were married, They are both deaf and dumb and will likely have a peaceful life. fiii -

Henry- C. Olds, of Fort. Wayne, has offered twenty-five acres of land for the location ot the shops of the New York, Chicago & St. Louis railroad. The land will be a free gift to the compuny 1f accepted. - The tooth wash sharpers were In the vicinity of Columbia City last week playing their little confidence game. They *“took in” three farmers in one afternoon, realizing &51 from the sale of three boxes of tooth paste. i The dwelling of Levi Mosher, who lives about three miles west of Columbia City, was destroyed by fire a few evenings ago. Nothing except some bedding was saved from the flames. The building was partially insured. - The books apd papers which were taken from Zimmerman & Stephenson's store at Leesburg at the time the store was burglarized, were found a few days' ago, near Warsaw. They were promptly returned to the owners.

The horse thief seems to be abroad in the land. Mr. Barrows, of Lima township, Lagrange ccuanty, recently had a horse taken from his stable. A few days after it returned, looking as if it bad been nearly kiiled by bard riding. : The New York, Chicago£a\St. Louis Railroad Company have established a station in Kosciusko county, about six miles northwest of South Whifley,and will call it Sidney. Town lofs are being Idid out and buildings/ goiug up rapidly. - z - Sheriff Leag, of DeXalb county, whiie assisting an insane lady from a hack at Auburn; on Monday evening of last week,slipped and fell, striking his right shoulder against the railroad track and dislocating it, besides bruising himself otherwise.

‘John Shoub, of DeKalb county, has a Bible which was printed in the German ldnguage in 1744, and brought to this country by his father in 1816. The book is said to have stood the wear and tear of nearly a century and a half very well. . . A couple of weeks ago Dr. Vesey, of Steuben county, while vaccinating a child, put his finger to his lip on which was a small sore. In a short time his lip began to swell, and his throat and the chords of his neck wers badly affected. His condition has been such that it was thought advisable to sond for his friends. :

Lagrange county is preparing to give the alleged drive well patentees a desperate fight if they persistin pressing their claims upon the farmers. Regularly organized comiittees are canvassing the different townships for the purpose of inducing persons to sign the contract employing attorneys and agreeing to pay the cost: of a test case.: :

On Wednesday evening of last week while Mr. and Mrs, William H. Gib: son, of Warsaw, were from home, their house was entered by a sneak thief who got away with a new $3O overcoat belonging to Mr. Gibson. The rascal very considerately deposited all the letterg and papers which he found in the pockets upon a sofa before taking his departure,

Goshen and Elkhart are just now indulging in a little unpleasantness over the location of the poor farm. The county commissioners have setected a traet of land east of Elkhart and the Goshenites have served an injunetion on the Treasurer and Auditor restraining them from eonsummating the bargain. Elkhart business men intend to see the commissioners through at any cost. & Alfred Hall, living in South Bend, met with a severe accident last weak in the Pheenix flouring mills, af that place. He had ascended the outside stairs to the second story, but as he reached the landing he reeled and fell, striking on the left side of the head. An examination -showed that the shock had produced a concussion of the brain and that the fall had produced a slight hemorrhage of the lungs. With careful treatment hs may recover. : : g

An attempt to burn the town of Lagrange took place about tea days ago. The effort was made in the eastern part of the town, in the warehouses at the depot. . The warehouses were filled with wheat and clover seed. Had they burned, the depot, the Lagrange hotel and a butter tub factory would undoubtedly have been destroyed. The villains evidently intended to pluader ‘the other end of town while the people were fighting the fre, but their plang’ were frustrated by the flames ‘going out before doing much damage.

They then drove on some distance, jumped out of ‘the-buggy and ordered the boy to drive back, Efforts are being made to bring the villaing to justice. ; :

{ THE CENTURY MAGAZINE may now be con|sidered fally started on its way under the new {oame, and, with the forthcoming Midwinter number, which will have the new cover designed by Elihd Vedder, the name *‘ Scribner’s Monthly” is’ {to be dropped as a sub-title. Its issues, since'the . change was made, have been commended by the press everywhere 4s of rare beanty and iutcrest. The November number was said by the Provij{dence Journal to be * the most able and valuahle publicatfon ever put&forth in magazine form,” - while the Press pronounced il “ urquestionably the most brillian’, and utmun& as 1t is the largest and' most sumptuous, of anything yet known in Americai or .Euro?e;.n periodical lterature,” The | 3pringfield Republican called the December num.. {oér, ** Tor personal portraiture and biography, the- - -ain&le igsne ever made by a magazine.” The NY. Observer congiders the January Century - [*an ideal number.” The Charleston News and . Courier, when the change irr name was made, de- - clared thas it would ** bé difficult to improve un] Scribner’s, already the first and beet of Ametican = | m&saz!n,el." But the Grgfixhnc (N. Y.) recently {said: ** Take:itall in all, The Century is already & better magazine than Scribner’s ever was,’! and: ! this is the general verdicl. The increased excel- | lence i not due to the change of name; it isonly the nataral %lzowt.h of the magazine, made more conspicuous by the change. e ‘With this growing excellence has come an in- - - creased sale. The average edition of the nambers 7 of the last two volumes of Scribner’s Monthly wds - 120,000 ; the average edition of the}lmk. four numoers ot The Centary isneardy 185,90, I Englaud, . 20,500 copies of November were sold, against un averdge of 16,230 for the twelve monthe preced: - ing, and- the sale of that number still continues there as well as here; "In a recent issue of the{ _ DmnT%es (Bcotland) Advertiser, the rapid progress made {l'l‘he Century among the reading public of the: United Kingdom was dscribed to * the . Anglo-Saxon spirit, as distinguished from the lpurely Britizh or the purety Ameican, that per- . vades its pages; it is much mure American than it "is Britikh, but it i 8 more Anglo-Saxon than either, and mere representative of the race than of any of the various nationalities into whieh it has-separated.” - . ] . St. Nicholas has grown in England, from a cir: culation of 3000 copies a year ago, to & regular cir. - calation now of 8000 to 10,000 monthly, Itis not often that the London Times goesoutof its way to compliment children’s magazines, and American ones at that, batits issue of Dec. 20, 1821, cdntained the following good words aboutthe last - bound volumes of Bt. Nicholas: 9 . **There is an old son§ which sings how & certain venerable man delighted to pass the evening of his daysin initiating his granchild in the éxhilarating game of drauights; and how, so well did thelad profit by his instruction, that at last ‘ the old man was beaten by the boy.” In looking . over-the two parts of St. Nicholas, this old song has come back to us, Certainly the groducen of . }ench literature for our own boys and girls must look to their laurels. - Both in the letterpress and fin the engravings these two volumes seem to us (though the admission touch our vanity or our patriotism, call it by which name we will, something closely) above anything we produce in the same ‘line,. The letterpress, while' containing quite as’large a power of attraction for young fancies, is 80 much more idea’d, 8o much iess ° commonplace, altogether of a higher literary style than the average production of our annuals of'the same class. - And the pictures are often works of real art, not only as engravings, but. as compositions of original design.” ) .
