This is a high compliment to Mr. Singery, coming as it does at the hands of a Republican board, after the onslaughf that has been made upon him by certain parties in this locality, It is a personal vindication for Mr, 8, as the action of the ‘Commissioners was based upon their ‘knowledge of the condition of things.

~—The following from the LeGrange Standard of last week strikes pretty close in .these quarters: *We have heard of ‘a man who declaimed loudly in favor of having thenames of all persons who received public kelp, pubJlished so that, he might know where -his money went &o A careful inves!ti’gatipn was made and it was found ‘that he contributed about three cents tannnally_to‘ the poor. A similar loud demand of a paper in this county re‘minds us of that circumstance. For ‘one, we do not care to see the unfortunate and worthy people who need help published tothe world, to be by it.classed with paupers. - The genuindé beggar would'not care, bt the deserving people, already too serigitive to ask lu much as they should, would be de(terred from asking any help.

—Monday afternoon about 4 o’clock ‘the dwelling on the Bray farm, about 214 miles south of this place, caught fire by a burning chimney, it is supposed, and was burned to the greund. The buildi‘ng- was occupied by James King, who succeeded in. getting ouc most of his household goods. The property was valued at about $803; and was owned by G. W. Chapman, of this place. There was no insurance. _ For years the people of Churubusco were denied many pleasant entertainments on account of having no hall. This want _is now being filled by the enterpriss of four gentlemen, who areerecting a very large building for this especial purpose. Mr. P, F.

When he w%hd door he thought he was in Dakota, owing to the deep snow and intense cold, and forthwith heaved out the first sack to be delivered in that region. It is becoming painfully apparent that the postal service on some 0“&:'0 lines needs a thorough reorganization,

The Purim Ball.

The Purim ball at Kann’s hall last Monday night was the social event of ‘theseason. At an early hour the hall began to fill up, and by the time the sweet * strains from the -celebrated Constantine orchestra began to reverberate through the room all the seats were occupied, and the erowd began to apcroach _upon the dancing floor. Some beatiful as well as most ontlandish costumes were displayed, and the merry maskers seemed to vie with each other as to who would have the most sport. It was amusing to hear the many guesses made upon the identity of those who were hidden behind the deceptive shades of the manyE.hued masks. In many instances the surmises were correct, but in others the guessers were wide of the mark. Many strangers were in attendance, and they seemed to be making the most of the happy occasion. Financially and socially the ball was one of the most successful that has ever been 'given in the town, and great praise is due the members of the various committees, who by their untiring efforts made it the évent of the year, Our space precludes the mention ‘of all the characters represented; but afew are derserviangof special -notice: Martha Washington’s maids by Mrs. M. M./Ritterband and Mrs. Abe Goldsmith; “Esmeralda,” by Bella Straus, of Chicago; Peasant Girl by Fannie Regenberger, of Chicago; Dudess, by Millie Regenberger, of Chicago; The Parisians, by Mattie Loeb and Simon J. Straus. Albert Eichhold, of Churubusco, represented ;a Rabbi; Henry Fink, of New York, represented a Knight; Miss Sadie Collins played the Jockey: Jake Frank and KEugene Michael led the grand march, and in their costumes were immense; Rob. Stansbury personated a dashing young belle, and did it up to perfection—a number of the boys being greatly *“mashed”’ on him. Minnie Tumbleson rgpr’esented a country lass; John laberstroh played the portly squire; our “Sam” made a pretty good clown; Belle Colling represented a. juckey; Mrs. Casey, the Lady in White; May and Frances Patterson, flower girls.

Fine Horses.

+«Yesterday morning Hon., O. Kimmell, L. B. Eagles. Anderson Galloway and -Sylvester Abrans returned from their trip in search of breeding ‘horses, bringing with them two fullblooded importéd Normans, for which they paid nearly $5,000. The horses on their arrival, were placed in Shobe’s livery barn, and while there were visited and admired by a host of lovers of fine horse flesh. Mr. Kimmell made the Purchase‘ of a fine four-year-old stallion of Norman breed from the importers, £, Dillon & Co,, at Normal, Ili, for iwhich be paid $2,400. The horse is known as*Bellaire,” and was foaled in- March, 1880; imporied to this country in 1882; recorded in-the Norman register of horses ds No. 1097. He is of a beautiful jet-black color; weighs 1640 pounds, and is about 1515 hands high. Last yeapPthis “horse served 19 mares, and out of this number 18 are known to be with foal. While Mr. K. paid a gool round sum for the horse, he considers it’a good investment, and is perfectly satisfied with his bargain. He will take the horse and keep him on his farm in York township, where he can be seen. during the season. : . R

The other gentlemen purchased for the use of the Indian Village Live Stock Association the imported horse «Aurel;” a beautiful dark-brown horse weighing in the neighborhood of 1775 peunds, for which they paid. $2,275. This. horse was foaled in France in 1879, and was brought to the United States by S. Busby, of Lexington, Il in October last. It is without doubt a good addition to our number of breeding horses, and the company may well fell preud of-their purchase. The company is made up of 28 members, comptising some of the wealthiest farmers in Sparta township. It has not yet been ‘decided whether the horse will be allowed to serve mares outside of the company or not.

A YORK TOWNSHIP SENSATION. Several years ago Mt John Archie and wife wentto Chicago accompanied by C. B. Phillips and wife, Frank Clapp and wife, and a number of others from Albion, and before leaving there Mrs. Archie expressed a desire to visit some of the Fonndling’s ‘Homes, or Orphan A;ylun?n of that place for the purpose of getting a ‘child to bring with them and give it ahome. With this object in view the party visited an institution of that kind on West Madison street, and a child was found there about a year old or such a matter, to which Mrs. Archie took a liking, but this little girl’s mother was living, and those who accompanied Mrs. A. endeayored toprevail upon her to take ene of the others whose parents were unknewn, and thus avoid the possibility of trouble in regard to the child in the future. But she had set her heart upen having the little girl in guestion, and the advice of her friends was unheeded. The mother of the child—Agnes Fitzgerald —was hunted up and her consent gained to take the child, after which Mr. Phillips and Frank Clapp signed the necessary papers showing that Mrs. Archie was a suitable person te have custody of the child, etc., and the latter was brought to the Archie home in York township where she has remained up te about a week ago. Mrs. Archie gave the mother of the child her address and informed her that any time she wishéd to visit it she would be welcome to de so. :

We belisve.that some:{ime ago Mrs, Archie received a letter from Mrs. Fitzgerald, in which she stated that she had been exposed to the small-pex and might never be able to see her child again, and this letter Mrs. Archiesays she destroyed immediately in consequence of the exposure of the writer to the terrib'e disease. Since then nothing has been heard from that source until a few moenths ago, when it is asserted that letters purporting to have been written by Mrs. Fitzgerald at a certain number, Vanßuren street, Chicago, to a fiiend 1n the vicinity, have been found about the Archieresidence, threatening them with death and the destruction of their property if the child was not forthwith returned to the mother. One letter gave them instructions te deliver the child into the hands of the co’%gctor of a certain train on the B. & O. with.the address of the mother as given in the letter, and it would bedelivered tp her all right. The last letter received in this way was:very 'threatening' in its language, and was signed by Mrs. Fitzgerald, in which it was stated that unless her demands ‘were complied with immediately, her “friend” here would murder the whole family, burn them out of house and home, and other dire calamities would be inflicted upon those “big-headed Clapp boys,” to quote the language of the letter. This is the only ene of the letteis we have seen, and the hand-writing resembles that of a child more than ofa grown person, ‘and the paper upon which it is written has evidently been cut from a No. 2 Spencerian writing book. When found none of these letters have been enclosed in eanvelopes, but were fecund tacked up near Archie’s residence or slipped under his door, at times, too, when Mr. Archie was absent. Mr. Phillips has written to Mrs. Fitzgerald at the Van Buren street number given in the letter, but ‘can get noreply. Mr. Archie and wife manifest "considerable alarm at the threatening tone of the letters, and deeming it unsafe for them to langer keep the child in their custody, made applications to the trustee of York, and upon his order it has been admitmitted as an inmaté of the county asylum for the poor.. - : We do not see how this is to appease the wrath of the writer of the threatening letters, as it 1s as much a disregard of her demands as the keeping ot the child by them would be. Mr. Arehie is a well-to-do farmer of York township and has two: or three children (boys, we believe) and has no enemy that he knows of who would likely ‘engage in such a dangerous proceeding simply to annoy him:. We lieve that once before they took a child from the county asylum with the intention of raising it, but were compelled to return it on account of alleged similar threats. There is a thin veil of mystery surrounding this affair that we think a detective would have 1o trouble in clearing away. Of one thing we feel pretty sure, and that is that the letters were not written by Mrs. Fitzgerald, in Chicago. The littl¢ child is a bright, intelligent little girl, whose future is of the most cheerless character if she is to remain an inmate of the asylum where she has been taken.—Albion New Era.

Fatal Poisoning,

A, week ago yesterday James A. Tyder, living in York township, went to Etna, in. Whitley county, for the purpose of assisting Ora Reynolds to remove to near Niles in York township. ‘ln loading up the goods Mr. Reynelds placed a bottle of corrosive sublimate cut with alecohol in & tub in Tyler’s wagon, remarking that should Tyler need anything to- warm him up he would find it there. Nothing more was thought of the matter until the party arrived at Reynolds’ new home. In unloading, Tyler came across the bottle, and - being chilled through by ‘his lengthy ride and not knowing anything about the taste of liguor, but thinking it would have a tendency to warm him . up, took the bottle and drank a lot of the liquor. Immediately thereafter he was taken sick and went to his residence near by. His wife becowing alarmed sent back for aid. It was only then that he told ‘what he had taken and a physician was summoned at once, .Inthe meantime everything was done that was possible for the uafortunate man, He lingered along until Monday night whén he quistly passed away, being conscious to the last, The family of the deceased have the sympathy of all in their sad affliction. Mr: Tyler was only about thirty years of age, and has numerous relatives in this township. He was buried yesterday.

OBITUARY. - The subject ot this notice, JOEHN MARSHALL, was born in Guernsey county, 0., March 10, 1818, and died at Rome City, March 5, 1884, On the 27th of Oct., 1840, he was united in marriage to Eliza Jane Magee. During the following winter he removed to Defiance county, and built an humble home in the woods. Life in those days was without'many of the modern advantages and conveniences. The floor to father Marshall’s log cabin was puncheon, split and hewd with the ax, In 1851 he was left a widower with 4 small children—3 boys and 1 girl. July 6, 1858, he was married to Mrs. Rachel Tenor. ;.l‘hey lived together until Nov. 23, 1860, when he was again left a widower. He continued to reside with his children on the same farm until Feb. 8, 1863, when lie married Mrs. Nancy I. Hasket, who still survives. In the tall of 1882 he came to Rgme City, where he resided with his son Thomas until the wheels of life stood still. The circumstances of his death were impressive. On the afternoon before the sum- | mons came he was at the house of God and took part in the services. During the service, the é)asmr requested that if any one present desired to have any hymn sung he should be free to makeit known, Father Marshall requested to have sung the hymn: *“We’re Going Home To-morrow.”’ It was sung. Whereupon he arose and feelingly said, ‘I do feel that’s the case with me. I’m going home to-morrow.” Was it a presentiment? On the morrow he went into the country on an errand, and in the afternoon, as he was returning, in order to be present at the revival service, he was not, for God took him. He dropped dead in the road about a half mile from town, where he was found shertly afterwards; his body being still warm. He ex‘pressed his fears a few days before that he mighi{ go soon. The funeral service was, held in the M. E. chureh at Rome City, on Friday. ‘The discourse was preached by the pastor of the church from the text —James, iv chap. and 14th verse—‘The thought was enforced that. life is the gitt ‘of God and should be consecrated to Him and His service, Only vhus would the issue be blessed.” = .~ - Father Marshall’s heart was ‘fixed, trusting in the Lord.” He leaves six children the legacy of a Christian’s faith and hope. May they seek the same and live to meet him on high. o Ne W, Mrs. Sarah E. Davis, wife of Mr. Owen Davis of this })laca on Tuesday, March 11, 1884, after a inger’lng illness of great suffering from cancer. : - Miss Sarah E. Miller was born in this (Perry) township, m{i 12, 1846, naving spent her entire life in this oue community, ’bahég well and favorably known.

Adieu, Mr, Pollock,

{ A far as the editor of this paper is concerned, the poor farm. question is ntthd;Jnﬂ:h'o article produced in }Me_oln ans over the signature of “Veriatis Iwu prepared by a gentlelm at Albion fully conversant with the facts in the case and its figures ‘were in strict accordance with the records in 'Pyery instanee, as anyone can find by a scratiny. The fight has lost all of its interest to the public, from the fact that Mr. Pollock has gone out of his course to make a low personal attack upon the editor of this paper. Each week the same articles with which Mr. Pollock finds so much fault have been published in an other paper in the county, and in the first instance it made declarations far more damaging than anything that has appeared in the BANNER. Some of the insinuations Mr. Pollock per-} sonally said, “ were beneath his notice,” but. in the whole course of the argument the editor of this paper has been made the objeet of the indignities of a low personal villifyer. The attitude of the Xepublican board of county commissioners, who fully understand the condition of affairs and’ know Mr. Singrey’s qualifications for the position are to us a full vindication of the course of this paper. This action will satisfy the thinking public, and by the writer is taken as a full and . true vindication of our course in the matter,
