JudgeJ Bobo spoke at Egypt school house, Blue Creek township, last Saturday evening The Judge made one of the most logical speeches to which we have listened this season. A fine hickory po e was raised. Jerre Cartwright of Geneva, bossed the job. The hickory pole at Hickory Corners was out down last Saturday night The flag and iron bands were stolen. Who did it is yet unknown, although a party living not far from the Corners is strongly suspected Such work is neither cute nor smart, but on the contrary very contemptible. Aumucc msgraceiul row occurred on the main street of our town last Saturday night. One young man was knocked down with a stone and lay for several minutes in an uu conscious condition. It is useless to say that no arrests were made. An event ot that kind would be such a rarity that our people would think something wrong. The Fort Wayne ATews of last Saturday contains this news item: Here is a story of a very mean Republican A boot-black was the other day polishing the boots of a mm on Calhoun street, wneu the customer discovered a Hancock medal on the boy’s box. He at once ordered the lad to quL, saying he dbe if he d have his boots blacked by a Democrat. [f y any hook or crook Garfield should be elected President B. W. ShoLy is to have the Decatur postoffice, and John P. Quinn is to be revenue collector for this district. Well, all we have to say is, that it by tllt aforesaid h. or c. it becomes necessary to have Republicans fill those positions ot trust we know of none whom we would more cheerfully recommend than the above named gentleman. They are both worthy and competent men.

Our very good journalistic brother up at Auburn was so mad when he “h°ard the news from Maine that he pied a whole page of his p »per. Keep cool, Bro, ll’eamer, until you hoar from Indiana Miss Alwtl la Colchin has received some very brilliant stones, from i friend in Colorado that, contains 60 nor c nt gold: one contains 60 per cent silver and 30 per cent. gold, while another contains 30 per cent. lead. They are valued at $25 Mr. J. B.

He is going to sell at a closer margin than ever Par ies resiling at a distance can order what they want by etter and satisfaction is guarranteed. But watch for the Fruit House price-list soon to appear in The Democrat A Methodist preacher at Portland, Indiana, prayed at a Republican meeting, and he I) i'atur Democrat wants him kicked out o' the pulpit. But Mr S. Ray IKilliamshould remember that it is parr, of a minister’s business to pray for suiners; he miy be needed in Decatur before the campaign is over.— Willshire Independent. B’e have no objections to ministers praying for the salvation of sinners, biU we do enter our protest against them praying, in public, for the political success of any candidate. Now the ministers in our church, the Heathen, would look upon an act of that kind as just perfectly awful The editor of The Decatvr. Democrat says that he was at one time a Sundat school student of Bill Starr, of the Goshen Times, who recently skipped out with a handsome but. low in character young woman, leaving his wife behind to mourn his downfall and disgrace. B r e now see it was H'tlliams’ early education which has given him such a proratnauce for telling such big lies about the Greenback party and its candidates. — Huntington News. Not all, Mr News, uo we lie about, the Greenback party, nor any other pariy for that matter. Starr taught us to always keep things within their legitimate sphere, hence our labors in behalf of your party, Ihe same winch is yet young and tender. It you cast it out into this wicked world it is liable to fall dowfi and get stepped on. Keep it indoors yet awhile. Wera ry. We have recently been shown a very neatly bound and printed volume entitled “The Progressive Ages, or Triumphs of Science, and Treasures of Nature, History and Literature, by Prof. H. L. Harvey” Published by J. A. Ruth & Co., Chicago, and Kansas City. The work is finely and profusely illustrated, and contains 432 royal quarto pages, fairly glistening with the rarest jewels of natural history and science, embracing scenic descriptions of the surpassing granduer and sublimity of portions of our western country, its great plains, awe-inspiring waterfalls and remarkable subterranean caverns, together with an authentic account of the Antarctic and Polar regions, with a spice of variety including “Sporting in the Tropics. There is also valuable scientific knowledge contained iu the subject of

“Alchemy a,. 1 Chemistry,” while “More Than One Universe” abounds in radiant astronomical truths regarding the rapidity of the motions of light, the neublae theory, and that one star of stars—Alcyone, the Sun King, around which all the heavens revolve. The meteroic aeolites, and wanderers through space are not forgotten, but are unerringly traced in their mad flight through the ether blue ‘Ocean Waves" the wonders of the trackless deep. “Sounds and Silence, earth treasures and ‘precious stones’ are theme possessing wonderful and fascinating interest. An adequate discription is given of important historical events, “A. cient liuins.A “The Temp’ of the Sun,” and the culture and the manufacture of our best known and most essential nat ural products. The chapter, "Nature’s Teachings,” is replete with rich and useful information, affording a subject, for deep anti earnest thought, while the life sketches of our noted scientists, inventors, and masters of an, inspire within the reader’s mind a desire to cultivate, even though in a small degree the talents with which Glod has endowed him. The author has not only adapted his work to every thinking, intelligent mind, but has woven around the whole that felicitious and pleasing style of language that never fails to fascinate the young mind. But it is impossible for us to fully delineate the beauties of this charming volume. We advise all our readers to procure a copy. The agent, is at work in our community, and we commend him to the courtesy and patronage of our people. We would l like to see a copy of the work in every | family. 6ws. I SALE OF DITCH?
