J. W. Young, G. R. & I. bridge supervisor, was taken seriously ill at this place last Friday, but has now recovered sufficiently to return to his work. Dr. Williams administered to his wants. o : Why don’t some of our enterprising citizens establish a wheat market and give the farmers somnie. inducement to stop here, instead of letting them drive through town and over to-Wolcottville to dispose of their grain. ' It is to the interest of our merchants to give this ‘matter thotlght. : , | .‘Schoolwgommenced* last Monday with the following corps of teachers: Principal, J. P. Bonnell; Assistant Principal, F. B. Moore; Intermediate, Anna Griffin; Primary, Nettie Rumbaugh. With such talent as the above at the-head of our school, we are: safe in saying that the school this term will be a success. The new school book law seems.to 'be troubling our citizens considerably. For the benefit of those who do not yet know, we will say that there will be no ‘change made exeepting where new books are required. Then the books recently introduced, will'be purchased, instead of buying -the old kind. In this way the expense is the same as it was before the school-boek law was made. We have a class of drunken loaters in town, who idle away their timggin saloons and on dry goodsboxes. These fellows have been doing as they please for sume time and have lost all respect for themselves and every one else. They take delight in annoying our ‘merchants and insulting people on the street. Their annoyances have been ‘taken good naturedly, but forbearance ceases to be a virtue, longer. The next ~offense will be met with by the law. " The Rome City people will be compelled to celebrate the glorious Fourth next year on their own hook, as the assembly people have dropped that part of the program.—Ligonier Banner. Just what our citizens have desired for several years. In the future our celebrations will ndt be a fizzle. A better place than Rome City, for solid comfort, and lots of sport, cannot be found; and now, that no admission to the island will be charged on the Fourth, we are safe in saying that the crowd Zvill be larger than ever before on that ay. » Last Sunday about fifty of our best citizens headed by Mrs. Peter St. Mary, went up the lake to Pleasant Point to spend the day. The steamer had been preyiously: tendered the party, and a delightful trip was made upon the lake. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, eyerybody had a pleasant time. The cravings of the inner man were satisfied in a manner that will Jomg be remembered by those present, About three o’elock-the party returnsd home vyia. Sgring Beach, evervbody feeliny satisfied with the day’s entertainment and wishing many 'years of happimess to Mr. and Mrs. St. Mary their hospitality. : ~ Last Friday morning a short time after two o’clock, A. L. Wright was awakcned by a noise in his store-rooin, Mr. Wright arose and started, revolver in haad, for the scene of action. As he neared the rear door of the storeroom he noticed a man licht a matzh ‘directly in front of him and proceed to ‘investigate the stock of goods. The thief soon became aware of the owner’s presence and started to run, as he started, Mr. Wright opened fire, the ball striking the handle of a revolver the intruder carried in his hip pocket. This stopped the force of the ball, and it fell to the floor, thus saving the fellow from a severe wound. No trace of 1 the thief has been discovered. :

Attorney E. E. Mummert, of Goshen, came down Saturday afternoon, and after enjoying a two days’ visit with his father’s family, he returned Monday afternoon. C. W. Putnam and Charlie Thompson came down from Englewood, Saturday, and had a little fun with the boys and girls until Tuesday, when they returned. Mr. C. -R. ‘Graves, wife and son Bertie, in company with Henry C. Knepper, of Ligonier, were in town Sunday, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Brandeberry.

Two well dressed and very -handsome looking ladies, of Fort Wayne, arrived here on the Monday afternoon ‘ train. They are stopping at the resi-‘ dence of Dr. Seymoure.

This is the first meeting he has had with the boys since December 1865. They were separated then by being mustered out of the service at Camp Chad, Columbus, Ohio. There is quite an old lady living in the southwest part of town who has a very bright-eyed grandson in her ¢are. Well, the neighbors say that she is hard to beat. She beats the boy shamefully, more so than anybody wouid beat a dumb brute. Now !o’n’t ask Alta Vista about this, but ask her near neighbor, and there is' a chance for some one to get red-headed. 7

Last Wednesday evenin§ most of the town ladies, and a good number at that, dropped in on Mrs. Rev. J. M. Deweese; and made it & complete garprise.. A costly lot of presents were presented to her, in memory of her birthday. A token of love, in the shape of a lap supper, was given in reply, which all partook freely of and then returned to their homes.

On Wednesday, Sept. 11th, abouti twenty-five relatives and probably that many friends, gathered at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Rice, and gave them a general birthday surprise, It being Mrs. Jennie's thirty-first birthday. She received a. handsome! lot of choice presents, after which a large table filled with many good things was spread, and the guests were not at all backward in doing justice to the rich food. All enjoyed a happy surprise day and went home rejoicing. g ; Our worthy neighbor and farmer, Robert Fox, met with a painful accident last Thursday afternoon in his woods, where G.

But the stuff that is written in ninety-nine out of every hundred of the letters I deliver must be simply little platiiudes between friends, such as pass between them when they maset on, ths street, except shorter and less satisfactory. But 'how anxious the peopls are to receive these letiters! You don't know any thing about it. You ought to be a letter-carrier for about a week. Why, there are some’ peopls on my voute who, I really 'believe, don't do any . thing else but sit down and wait for , me to come, or else stand at the gate or window to watch ‘orme- They don't get a letter more than once a month, but they watch for it every day. If I say, ‘nothing to-day,’ they groan and slink away. Iflhand them a letter, they fly away with it into the house as if they had found a pocket- - book, and even go cff ¢4 a secret place to examine in its contents. All this ‘makes me .a very popular man, I tell you. You sece, these people associate me with the keenest enjoyments and dearest hopes of their lives. lam a sort of lion with them; and, to tell you the truth, I have amatirimonial project in view very much above my station.” —Chicago Journal. n e

‘A Family of Giants. ‘ " Three brothers were talking in the street in New Brunswick, N. J., recently, who aggregate more in weight, height, and age than most brothers. They are Captain Samuel Acken, of New Brunswick, who is six feet six and a half inches in keight, weighs 240 pounds, and is seventy-six years_ old; William Acken, of Metuchen, who is six feet three inches in height, weighs 220 pounds, and is eighty-six years old, and Henry Acken, of Woodbridge township, who measures six feet two inches, weighs 200 pounds, ‘and is eighty-four years old. The joint weight of these Middlesex hrothers is, therefore, 660 pounds; their total height is eighteen feet eleven and a half inches, and their combined - ages 246 years. What is equally noticeable is that the Ackens are all of them a family of - giants. Among the younger as well as the older generations Frecholder ‘Tom" Acken is the- - (in stature) of the officials of Middlesex County and stands head and ‘shoulders above any other member of the board.—N.
