The weather this year resembles very much when we had our real cold weather in February. Robert Haugk this morning received several postal cards from his father, who is at present visiting in Germany, stating that he would leave the old country for home on the fourth of February.

Those who attend will no doubt be royally entertained, j Dick Burrell, proprietor of the newsstand, who has been suffering from a boil on his wrist on his right hand, was compelled to have the same lanced this morning, which afforded him much relief. Dick is now that he will have no further trouble with the same. From all present indications several new constractors may be found in the field this spring when it comes to city improvement in the way of brick streets, as several hints have been dropped that a well known citizen is about to enter into this field. This . will give Mr. Haugk, who has been j so successful in the past, a little more - opposition to overcome. I Niblick and Co., who for the past ' thirty days have been bolding their . annual sale, have concluded to run | the same until Saturday night. This ■ is one more day than at first contem- ' plated and will thus afford many peo- ’ pie an opportunity to buy who would not have otherwise have had the chance as they only come to Decatur once a week, namely Saturday. Their advertisement announcing this fact may be found in another part of this issue. Everything is in readiness for the big horse sale tomorrow at the sale stables on First street and every indication points to success.

Number nine the passenger train on the Erie due in this city at 1:41 a. m., did not arrive here today until twelve o'clock owing to the engine being derailed in the yards at Lima. Ohio.

The damage done will amount to several hundred dollars and delayed traffic for several hours. The Bank Cashier company, under the leadership of Dent Spencer, will leave on next Monday for Ohio City, where they will put their new play on for the first time. The cast is made up of local talent completely, and have been rehearsing for several weeks, and will no doubt give a good account of themselves. The company was to have started on their tour this week, but the illness of several of the leading ladies of the company caused a postponement. The company will show in Decatur in the near future.
