- #When the court house was opened lon Christmas evening for the Presbyi terian Sunday school exercises, an owl was found sitting upon the stove pips Tno doubt gravely meditating upon the sorrowful fact that Christmas eomes :’bu‘t once & year.

Quite a large number of farmers are asking an extention of time wupon tbeir_’ accounts,: no doubt thinking that. the future will afford better: prices for .their whoat and other produce. —Yesterday we moticed that our farmer friends and business men wore a more satisfiad look and we could not explain it until we heard a wheat buyer offer 82 cents for wheat. Now it'will be in order for the asses who have been having so much to say about the election of Cleveland having any connection with the price of wheat and the consequent hard times to find something else to talk about. > . —One of the most pleasam{ social affairs of the season oecured on last Tuesday evening at the residence of our worthy citizen, J. Straus, at which time the spacious mansion was thrown open to some of Ligonier’s chsicest society. Vocal and instrumental music, dancing' and a fine repast wers the leading features of the evening. 'The assembly broke up at a late hour and every one went home impressed with the feeling that Simon and Anra and Miss Rosenburg cannot be excelied as entertainers. : :

— The fire laddies were again warned out in short order last Tuesday afternoon. The fire this time was found at the residence of Mr. J. W. Peters. It was soon under control anq the property saved. The loss was mostly occasioned by the free use of water and will reach in all probability $lOO.OO. 'The fire caught from a defective flue and had it not besn for prompt action upon the part of the neighbors and the opportune arrival of the firemen nothing could have saved the buiding. ; —At the regular meeting of Excelsior Lodge N 0.267 I. 0. 0.

Warren, Warden; J. W.; Higginbotham, Con; J. S. Hayes, L. S. S.; G. R. McMasters, R. S. 3. & —The cocl bin is not a very pieasant place to find ammunition. Last week a Waterloo lady was about filling her coal stove when she noticed a neatlv wrapped package. Upom examination it was found to be gun powder and a further search disclosed a small package of shot. It was evident that some boy had secreted the packages in the coal until his opportunity arrived'to go hunting. If the coal had been poured into the.stove without- examination, as it is many times, it is hard to tell the result.

—Welearn from reliable authority that J. J. Martin, the Albion hard ware man, has failed. He assigned his property for the benefit off his creditors lagt Monday. ' It is said that his indebtedness is pretty large and that he is hopelessly involved. Mr. Martin threw up an excellent position on the Wabash railroad at Auburn to go into business at the “Hub” and in the change has lost his savings for many years. - The causes of the failure are many but the most prominent are the hard times making collectiona slow, a big stock of unsalable goods and a limited capital. _ ‘

—The floer being laid in City Hall for roller skating is in all probability the finest floor in the town if not in northern Indiana. - Hard maple lumber, well seasoned, and matched as true as good machinery will do such work is being used, and great care is exercised in fitting it down so as to give a smooth and even surface. No expense is being spared by Mr. Fish in making the room attractive and pleasant. We know all who visit the rink Friday evening . will be surprised .at .the wonderful .change made in the rsx‘rangsmeng and appearance of the hall. G i

i'rain Robbers Frustrated. Least Friday night, January 2ad, while train No. 8, due here at 10:26 was standing at the depot four maskmen were discovered on the platform between the baggage and express cars The eoniductor at once ordered them off the train but they were at first disposed not to comply with his order and showed fight, but finally were forced to leave their hiding place by the determined spirit shown by the conductor. They werelarge men and seemed to be well armed and their purpose was doubtless te rob the express measenger by breaking into the ear. In this they would have met with 'a warm reception as all the company’s messengers are armed with the most trusty 2 vevolvers and. grenades. .They are imstructed that in case'they even notice any suspici‘ous circumstances on the part of ‘strasgers, or in case of an attack like the one no. doubt contemplated by ‘T" these fellows, to at once put out all lights in car and kill any person wm{‘ essoys to enter the ear. We can hardly think that the fellows concerned in this bold attempt to rob thie mm‘ company belong in this neighborhood, but if they did we would sndoubtedly have had some one to bury on shortno tice as with the present arrangements for'guarding the . WW in ‘the care of the express company but Dorsto ascape with their lives: One

Sad Drowning Accident, : Last Sunday was a day full of sorrow at Syracuse as a fair son and- a veautiful daughter lay clasped in the ‘embrace of death at the homes of their ‘parénts, having given up their young lives to the merciless waters of the lake at that place. About v o’clock Saturday evening in company with a large number of 7oung folks of the village, Mr. Geo. Link, son of a merchapt in Syracuse, and Miss Eva Miles, 'daugbter of Mr. Ed. Miles, aged about ‘2O and 18 respec‘tively, went dowun to the lake to skate. Theice was as smooth as glass and was supposed to be of a safe thickness, and for overan hour a merry time was bad. About the time that the sport was breaking up and many of/the skaters preparing to leave the ice, Mr. Link started out toward the middle of the lake drawing Miss Miles who was seated en a hand sled for a last furn. When a long distance from shore the ice gave way, precipitating the young man in the water, and as was inevitably- the case the young lady met the same fate, and they went down together, both being drowned. The struggles which they made for life will never be known, as it was not thought they had met such an ending until some minutes later, when their absence alarmed the other young people, who were skating near the shore. They Immediately commenced a search for them, and discovered that they had both gone under the ice as above stated. In the search '.a young fellow named Wingall ran into the hole where the fatal accident occurred and before he was rescued he came near being drowned, as it was only by hard work that he was resuscitated. The bodies were found about 11 o'clock, floating in the water under the ice. Several Ligonier young folks v?pre on the ice at the.tiime, among them being Miss Berdie Kitson and her sister. They describe the scene as heartrending. The burial services took place on Tuesday, a double funeral ceremony, at 10.30 o’clock.
