Several Blufftonites were in town oi Monday. The Lester Combination played ai Delphos, last week. Sheriff Krick has lately purchased t fine team of gray horses. The Catholic church was crowdec on last Sunday morning. Last Saturday was another good business day in Decatur. The K. of P. Band were out serenading on Saturday night. Our young people will again hop at the Miesse House to-morrow evening. The members of the Evangelical church will shortly erect a parsonage. Butter retailed as high as twentyseven cents per pound last Saturday. The “nameless ’ club met at the residence of Rev. Metts on Friday evening last. They were entertained by Miss Frank Metts. On Saturday last D. M. Ayers, was thrown from a load of hay and severely hurt in the fall, producing concission of the spine. Dr. Freeman, is in attendance and thinks he will recover. A renewal of horseback riding is being talked up among the ladies. It is a good exercise, pleasant and healthful, and if more extensively practiced, would be beneficial to our fair women in many respects. The receipt for a good garden, is plant early, work the ground thoroughly and unceasingly, and the result will be bountiful returns. Plant advertisements early, ditto, etc. Esau Numbers is receiving a fine lot of flag stone for sidewalk .purposes, which he is keeping in stock on the Studabaker lots near the marble shop. Persons contemplating the builning of walks should call upon him. Wm. Smith of this place, for some time affected with paralysis, was out taking a walk last Saturday, which he extended further than his strength would warrant. The result was he was conveyed to his home in a carriage. Rev. M. M. Gleason, occupies the pulpit of the M. E. Church, Sunday.

Bunner, of St. Mary’s township, following the suggestion of The Democrat, has been prospecting for grtvel, with fair success He brought a sample of gravel to this office last week, which would make fair grave’ roads, or would be useful in ballasting : for railroads. He has several acres, i with an average depth of soil over it j of about two feet. He thinks the gravel will develop from five to fifteen feet in depth. The Chicago and Atlantic railroad folks have been negotiatiating for its purchase, but as yet no terms have been agreed upon. A good bed of gravel in this county is as good as a gold mine, tyid, as has been repeatedly asserted, will pay our farmers to prospect for. We have another Tilden affair in this town. E. Woods last year was elected trustee iu the fourth district, while living in the third, beating W. P. Moon, as was supposed, when in fact Moon was elected and should have served, because of oods inelligibility, not being a resident of the district he represented. It is a Tilden case , only in one thing. The wrong man served, but he did not serve in another’s place, knowing he had wronged him cut of it as Hayes did Tilden. ■-« case is devoid of those cunning ’icks, by which a great wrong foul blot left upon the ’ • party. It was a ■rreat crime. ''owing-

T The Narrow (W rai road 18 '°, be = completed to St Louis by June st. Three thousandAands are now etiq ioy ed on the work. The summer term of our Normal school promises to be very tnterest »g, and we predict a large a “ enda, ’ c °’ Teachers should make it a pot nt to attend. The session will begin July third. The Chicago and Atlantic railroad — contractors have imported about one hundred and fifty negroes from Kentucky. They are now working on the >n line of the road between this place and Lima, O. it The mysterious something seen in the St. Mary's near Patterson and a Pillar’s mill is.said to be a veritable otter, which is probably correct. In early days there were plenty of those animals along our rivers. 3 Rev. C. H Murray, of Geneva, Adaius county, accompaincd by his brother, who lives in Roanake, visited in the city Saturday, with Mrs. J. M. Hatfield, who is a sister ot the young t men.—Huntington Democrat. I- Next Tuesday, the 9th, takes place ] the marriage of Mr. James Niblliek , and Amelia F. Spuller. at the I atholic church, of Decater. After the marriage they will give a reception at the residence of Mr. George Spuher. , A large number of invitations have ’ been issued to both wedding and recep ] tion, which promises to be the grandest wedding of the season. i Decoration Day will soon be upon us . again. The question is. will it be ob- • served? o<>ce only has it been gener--1 ally observed in Decatur, and that once will long be remembered, especially by those who were present. Prior to that day a Post of the Grand Army of the Republic will be organized at this place, and they should take the matter iu hand in such away as will cause a general observance of the day. What say the boys? Somsi of our people who are enthusiastic in their views of the building prospects in Decatur the coining season, claim there are contracts already entered into for the building of one hundred and fifty dwelling houses. There is unusual activity in building and while we have not the time to make that exhaustive inquiry necessary to a correct estimate of the building in progress and contemplated, we are under the impression that the estimate is higher than such an inquiry would show to be true. Un the other band there will be a large amount oi building in Decatur this season. It may not be generally known that James Nelson is caandidate for Rep- i resentative from this county. The . Esq. is a talker, in fact is immense, ( when he gets iu one of his ways. He rallied the boys a little Thursday ' night, making speech on the corner < of the pujhr--rim, au(|_gaye a bird's , u"** o *the" ! * rldj • from nlWnil of Adam to th- resurrec- ] tion, and from rhe latter to the as»as ,' sination of Garfield. W. S. Congle-! < ton was to have replied, but failed to J i come to time, having weakened at the ] last moment. Esq. Nelson ought to ( run for Attorney General. He could fire off decisions, without a rest, equal ' to the present incumbent, and that is : saying all that need be said. Last Sabbath seventy persons. eluding six adults, were eor> * n 1 the Catholic Church and received I their first communion. Bishop Dwen- 1 ger, of Fo/t Wayne was present and < officiated. In the afternoon the new > bell purchased by the Young Men’s 1 Society of the Catholic Church, was I consecrated with the rites and cere- 1 monies of the church. Monday morn- 1 ing it was hoisted to its place in the I tower, and since has been put to that service for which it was designed. It is a valuable addition to the church 1 bells of Decatur. The typical diary maid of whom poets rhyme has been seen. She was not the one wha said “green it shall be,” and tossed her head in imaginary disdain that threw down her pail of milk and with it upset her imaginary happiness, for she was disposing of the golden spheres of her own making, the while warbling a sad refrain. It was a picture of human life, that for a moment flashed before us and was gone. In some minds it would have aroused the latent poetry within and sent them far away in ideal realms; in others ths only question that would arise,-is the butter fresh ? Is it not about time our fire department gave signs of life, that they are not dead in the shell. The writer knows full well that such is not the case, and we make mention that the public may know likewise. Soon the Marshal will be around for able bodied men to work on the roads and the fire department will be around to the Board of Trustees for exemption. Then it will be known for a certainty that our fire laddies are neither dead or sleeping, but like their brethren of the world, looking after the main chance in the game of trying to gain most and .loose least. In this direction the energy of our fire department is commendable, unflagging. Knowing their defects and merits we feel proud to forecast their career in one respect. This exemption, it is to be hoped it will not put them to sleep for another year.

e WAH IN MONK :. H.« ;»-P»-" ndn Heaey Baltic Imminent. ■ I —~ There has been some ill feeling ex- ] isting among the people of Monroe sqme time. The citizens claim the drug store has been playing sa oon on the sly, and away down at the bottom ? it looks as if some of the daughters o Eve might take a hand in it before ois over. However, of this we are not 1 certain. One side claim they did not. s sell whiskey; the other, negative this | • proposition, and think that finding .our. ) or five drunken men on the street at a 5 time is strewing the testimony too thick for successful contradiction. James 11. Fry tired the first shot ! by filing an affidavit before Esq. Bailey, charging E. J- Hunter, M m. JLui ter, John Everhart and John Lutz, with maliciously trespass, in injuring the dwelling, and banging the windows of Esther Stephenson, a lone widow, barring several buxom daughter.--. The testimony was in sufficient and the prosection failed to make out their ; case. Several other malicious feats have been performed, besides the one in question, among others, was the breaking into the room of Mr. Fry, and de- I stroying some thirty dollars worth of property. He has also been threatened with vengance dire. in the event of his instigating prosecutions for the unlawful selling of liquor, etc. All of this c-xcitementhas caused some loud talk, some of it uttered by Razzle Hendricks, Samuel Wagoner charges was unlawful, as it provoked him terribly. He said this before Esq. Bailey, the result was the arrest, of Hendricks and the usual “dollar- and trimmings.” It does one good to talk some times, if it does not cost too much. Bazzle thinks he is about even, at all events seemed well pleased with the result. Fry does not scare worth a cent, and followed with an affidavit, charging Sam. Wagoner with unlawful retailing to Thomas Head, and two against Ed jar J. Hunter, one for selling to John H. Smith, and the other to Thomas Head. These cases were continued until one week from next Saturday. Fry says the war has just commenced; that he has three weeks riding for Constable Meisse, and perhaps could furnish as much as he could do with the assistance of a deputy. If the war pans out as it looks in prospective, it will take some nitrate deposits to pay expenses, saying nothing about indemnity afterwards, and the boys will know which is the worst the Fry or the fire. Corporation Election. The election for town officers Mon - day, was a somewhat mixed affair. In addition to the regular Democratic ticket, there was a straight Republican ticket, which, however, only received a few votes and does not appear in the statement; an was the entire Democratic ticket was elected, except in the fourth district, where the regular nominee was ineligible, because he did not live in the district. This fact became public too late to successfully substitute anyone in his r>ace, and gaye the race to Elij,A Cox, the independent candidate. In the election, party lines were ignored, but the main question at issue that effected the voters was not sharply defined or hotly contested on the one side. To understand the matter more closely, some time since, a petition conta ning some 240 names was presented to the board of Trustees of the Corporation, asking that a license of SIOO. be charged against the saloon keepers bolding a county license. From one cause or another final action was postponed. Meanwhile the Democratic primary election took place. The saloon men were active and nominated a ticket that it was supposed in the event of their election, would oppose the adoption of an ordinance as prayed for in the petition. Meanwhile on Saturday last, the old Board passed an ordinance fixing the license at SSO. As a consequence the questions involved, and over which the people, outside from party was sensitive, was left in the baek ground. Following is the vote.

Base Ball. i The bachelors and benedicts, or 1 more properly speaking, the young a men and married men, encountered each other on the diamond field last : Friday afternoon in a friendly game of base ball. Six innings were played, and resulted in a clear scoop for the young men by a score of 46 to 12. The boys played very closely the first , three innings, when their hands b'gan , to feel the effects of handling a hard ] ball. It resulted in the married men . badly. In justice to them, however, it is proper to state they did not show as strong a nine as they can muster, and the probability is another game ' will be played before all parties will 8 be satisfied, and probably more than ’ one. The boys tried to get them in 1 ' too hot on the start, which punished their hands. It would have been better if they had started in at a sait 1 that they could have continued through the game. t We would go a mile barefooted any t time to see Dr. DeVilbiss play a game. The Dr. has a tashion of striking viciously at the ball after it gets into the f catcher s hands, and then wonders so t innocently why he cannot hit it. He S finally on one inning batted the ball in a most terrific manner. The ball flew 8 skyward and outward way beyond the < outfield. The Dr. stood gazing at it with the most intense satisfaction, until it was in the fielder s hands, when ■ it was suggested that he had better make first base. The Dr. made a splendid run and got there on time ■ and made his score. That bat and tliat run was the event of the game.

Death Judge Jas. VV. Borden. Judge James W. Borden, Judge of the Allen county Criminal court, died one week ago Wednesday, at Fort. Wayne. He was a native of North , Carolina, studied law and commenced the practice at Utica, New \ork, in 1834. where he married and removed I to Richmond, Ind, soon after, and in 1839 was elected Mayor. Later he moved to Ft. Wayne and took charge

of the U. S. Land Office. In 1341 he was elected Judge of the 12th Judicial District, composed of nine counties, and in 1850 was a member of the Constitutional Convention In I® 3 - he was elected Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, the district of which was composed of the counties of Adams, Allen, Hun ington and Wells, which positi< n he held until 185 t, when he was appointed Minister to the ,Sandwich Islands. He returned in 1863, when he was again elected Judge of the Court of Common Fleas, and in 1857 was elected Judge of the Allen county Criminal Court, which excepting one term, he held until his death.
