In Business Again.       

The many friends of M. A. Smith will be pleased to know that he is in charge of the business of the South Bend News Company, at the old stand of Smith & Holloway.  Mr. S. is one of our thorough and competent business men, and the cordial expression of sympathy and aid in his late financial misfortunes from our most substantial citizens, are a sufficient guarantee that the confidence in him is by no means impaired.  The News Co. are fortunate in securing his counsel and management in the control of their business; and they show their sound judgment in retaining James L. Mack, who has been associated with Mr. Smith in business for the last five years, as assistant, a gentleman who has made hosts of friends by his affiable manners and gentlemanly deportment, and inspired the confidence of the people by his sterling integrity and close attention to business.  With Mr. Smith to manage the various details of the business and Mr. Mack as an assistant, the Company have the surest guarantee that their interests will not suffer in the least particular; and they invite their numerous friends to give them a call and it will afford them pleasure to attend to their wants as in times past.  The business in all its various branches will receive their prompt and careful attention.  A full line of sheet music, music books, and musical instruments is to be added to their line of goods.

Local News

There was a constant stream of visitors Sunday to the new Oliver works, and most visitors were astonished at the immense proportions the works are assuming.       

As an evidence that our business men and manufacturers expect a renewal of business the coming fall, we received at this office yesterday, between 25 and 30 unsolicited orders for job printing.       

Two mad cats who "made Rome howl" and disturbed the slumbers of a portion of south Michigan street, were killed on Monday night, on the side walk near Monroe street.

Teel & Badet have made and sold so far this season, thirty-five thousand sets of croquet, and orders are still pouring in.  No industry in our city has increased in greater ratio than this one.       

The 15th of August next will come on Sunday.  How many prairie chicken sportsmen will remember on that occasion that it is unlawful to kill game on the Sabbath?       

W. Gifford has just arrived in this city from the west with a fine lot of riding ponies which are for sale, and can be seen for a few days at Hatch's stables.

A car of red line freight which was shipped from New York on the 12th, reached here on the Lake Shore road afternoon of the 16th, being less than four days on the road.       

If there is any object in the world deserving of your commiseration, it is the young man at a party whose collar button has broken its threads.  The anguish of a motherless widow is nowhere in comparison.       

A good deal of sickness is prevailing just at present among children, principally cholera infantum.  Children belonging to J. G. Dorland, J. H. Smith, Fred. Grether, and Joseph Warden are now suffering with the disease.

E. T. Lucado, received a dispatch, from Lynchburg, Va., Wednesday, answering that his oldest sister was having a foundation put under her house, when the building fell and killed her.       

The public will be pleased to learn that Mrs. Abby Sage Richardson, who gave such delight in her readings here season before last, has been secured by Foster & Marsh for a re-appearance in this city next winter, somewhere about the holidays.

Within a few days there has been an unusual fall of leaves from the trees and people are wondering what it all means.  If they will examine the fallen leaves, they will find in nearly every instance they have been injured by insects.       

Elsewhere in this issue appears T. J. Seixas' report of the condition of the savings bank, on the 1st of July.  Evidently affairs are in a flourishing condition with that institution; the amount on deposit is $117,711.29, and though loans lowering, interest is still paid at the rate of 8 per cent.       

Mark Wright and Wm. Bucher, formerly of this city, but now of California, while out buggy riding, near Gilroy, and passing up a canyon, were precipitated over an embankment and fell about fifty feet down the sloping declivity.  They were both seriously but not fatally injured.

Joseph E. Davis, of Greene Township, left at this office a basket of a new variety of potatoes, the seed for which he obtained from the East.  They are called the "Dexter Early Vermont," and although not yet done growing are as large now as the Early Rose attains when its growth is completed.       

Charles Knapp, a machinist, who formerly resided in this city, was recently drowned in Green river, Wyoming territory, while out in a boat seeking for a drowned man.  His wife and child left here a short time ago to join him and will probably not hear of his death until they reach there.       

Frank Berger, the well-known tailor, of this city, reached the 50th anniversary of his birth Tuesday, and it was celebrated at his residence on Market street, by a supper party.  Among the presents he received were $50 in money and a silk hat from his wife; a set of gold shirt studs from his son Ben and a silver headed cane from Edward Nelson.

Mr Giddings informs us that a brakemam named Landslayer, on train 42, was severely injured this morning, this side of New Carlisle.  He had been setting brakes and was climbing down the side of the car when some timbers of a bridge struck him and crushed him off.  He was missed and the train backed up when he was found nearly insensible at the side of the track.  He was taken to his home in Elkhart.       

The Leib Bros. have sold their entire stock of dry goods to Hanna Bros. of Aurora, Ill., and the stock is to be removed thither in a few days.  A. S. Leib, the elder brother of the firm has also disposed of his store in Goshen to the same parties.  The Messrs. Leibs came here from Pennsylvania ten or twelve years ago, with little or no capital, and by industry and good business management have amassed considerable property.  In our transactions with them we have always found them honorable men and, we regret that they have retired from our business circle.

Drs. Utley & Miller, magnetic physicians, from the east, will locate permanently in a few days at No. 117 Michigan street.        Eggs 12 1/2 cents per dozen at Palmer & Co's.       

Call at Beyler's fruit stand, one door south of the post-office for the best five or ten cent cigars.
