THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT. Sen Klveiflaemenla. Af'p’ication fur License—H. H. Brake. Farm for Sale—Lewis Koons. Subscribe for The Democrat. Four years will not be long to wait. Kiting leads in the woolen goods line. Niblick, Crawford & Sons are doing a lively business. This issue closes the campaign subscribers business. Kdtvin Booth is playing Hamid to London audiences. Andrew Sorg, of Kallamazoo, Mich., was in town this week. Owen, Pixley & Co. have something to say this week. Read it. Mrs. Dr. Dorwin was visiting friends in Fort Wayne, last week. R. 11. Weamer has severed his connection with the Auburn Republican. Fresh pan candies at Place's confec tioncry. Pure, good, sweet and cheap. Jennings county has a Democratic sheriff, the first one in eighteen years. Miss Elia Schirmeyer is teaching in the conservatory of music at Fort Wayne. Mrs. F. G. Crewell, of Bryan, Ohio, is visiting her brother, yc scribe of The Democrat. — Bill English has had his say ; but Democrats look upon Bill in a very doubtful manner. The McNeil Sister* showed to a crowded house last Friday night. They gave entire satisfaction. Mrs. E. Porter baa gone to Alleghany, Pa. Her addre**, while there, will be 154 Jackson street. Those who want to pay for their paper in wood must bring it along. We must have the wood or the money. The independent papers—independent after a fashion—can now resume their cry of “strictly independent.” Quarterly meeting at the M. E. church in Decatur 20th to 21st. Rev, Y. B. Meredith, Presiding Elder, will officiate. We call especial attention to the changeinßootA CompanvV'ad". They are the leading drygoods dealers in Fort Wayne.

The Indianapolis Herald suggest* the name of Albert O. Purser for President in 1884. Tbst's the most cruel piece of sarcasm of the season. Removed.— The office of Dr. Chas. A. Jeileff has been removed from the Stone building to the office formerly occupied by his father, Dr. F. A. Jeileff. There is no better time to subscribe I for The Democrat than just now. Every Democrat in Adams county, and Republican, too, should take their oounty paper. A paragraphist has written a song entitled, ; Hug me to Death, Darling.' It is intended for a duet, and no audience. If it is a success it will be a ‘tight squeeze.” The Marion Democrat is sick at heart and feels like throwing up the good old Democratic sponge. Don’t do it, Bro. Wallace. Four years from now we will go sailing into power just a* easy. Now that the election is over it makes but little difference whether the Morey letter was a forgery or not. The Demoorat didn’t slop over on the subject before election, but the evidence is now strong against Garfield. It looks like he wrote the letter. George Harding—and everybody in Indiana knows him personally or by reputation —has established the Saturday Review at Indianapolis. So say several of our exchanges. That the Review will soon be the leading literary paper in Indiana there can be no doubt. We wish it success. The Democrat can now give its readers some news regarding the Presbyterian church trial, of which it last week made mention. It appears that Mrs. Theodore Kennedy was reported as having made some very serious charges against a worthy member of the church, consequently she was arraigned before a tribunal of ministers and charged with having made use of the language reported. Mrs. Kennedy denied ever having made the charges in question and was therefore honorably and Christianly exonerated. She was unanimously exculpated and that eads the case. Mr. Wash. Steele furnishes us the following report: April 15 1871, cherry trees in full bloom ; April 30 1876, cherry trees in full bloom ; May 7 1877, cherry trees in full bloom ; April 16 1878, cherry trees in full bloom : May 5 1879, eherry trees in full bloom ; April 26 1880, cherry trees in full bloom ; May 27 1879, wheat commenced to head , May 17 1880, wheat commenced to head ; April 1880, it rained on twelve different days : May 1880, it rained on 11 different days; June it rained on 12 different days; July it rained on five different days; August it rained on 5 different days; September it rained on . 4 different days; October it rained on ||i§t different days.

The Immortal J. N. is coming this way. It snowed, cried the school-boy. Hurrah! Kriek A Marigold are iilaughtering turkeys. The Sunday Moil , Fort Wayne, is Republican all over. Thanksgiving will detract some from the election excitement. Many of our people believe it would be cheaper to build a new jail. Several suspicious looking characters were in town last Tuesday night. Blackford county shows a democratic gain over the October election of 47. Mrs. J. K. Mann is visiting her sister at Muncie, Ind. She will be absent several weeks. Again we remind you that wc arc in need of that wood. Bring it along before the roads get bad. The Lagrange Register donned a new dress last week. No better local paper reaches this office than the Register. Mr. Charles Stewart has our thanks for a copy of the Ohio Democrat, published at New Philadelphia, Ohio. It is one of the oldest papers in Ohio. The new city editor of the Fort Wayne Sentinel is making the pages of that little daily fairly sparkle with inter esting news. Our esteemed journalistic brother, Mr. Hackett, has the right man in the right place this time, sure. The Fort W ayne Gazette has two libel suits to contend with. But the Gazette should not be discouraged, for the Chicago Times says a newspaper is not a newspaper until it can stand about one libel suit a month. The “President" has issued his proclamation for the observance of the 25th as a day of thanksgiving, because, he says, the reasons are so universal. Just as if universal must be so universal to be universal. Hayes is a fraud in grammar as well as a fraud in office. Pythian Ball.— This office is getting out invitations for the fifth annual Pythian ball, to be given at the hall of that noble order on Friday evening, Nov. 19, 1880. It is the desire of the managers to make this the grandest in many respects of any yet had. Doubtless many from neighboring towns will be present on that occasion.

It is earnestly hoped, now that election is over, that bu liness will boom all over the land. With a favorable winter individual indebtedness will be liquidated to a large extent, and with a reasonable practice of economy the American people will become the most prosperous and independent people on the face of the globe.

If Republicans conscientiously believe that there was no fraud practiced to secure the electoral vote of New York for Garfiej d, why in the demnition don’t they wear smiling countenances and hip and hurrah for the sage of Mentor ? Don’t wear such linger ing doubts, boys. If the victory is yours, and youra honestly, enjoy it, for it makes a Democrat feel good to see you feel good. Cheer up. John Studahaker addressed a letter to I. J. Miesse, of this place, and insists that he (Miesse) take immediate •teps for tho organization of a greenback club here. At the time of the letter’s arrival Miesse was up Salt R iver with the rest of us, but is now back and will comply with the greenback apostle's request providing, of course, the g. a. (greenback apostle) sends about one hundred dollars to bear the incidental expenses. Send on the stamps. John. Had the “fine Italian hand of Samuel Jones Tilden been at the helm we believe that the Democratic skies would be brighter than they are.— Wabash Courier.

Yes, indeed. But we rememiwrwhen Bro. Linn used the coiumnsof his most excellent paper to assist in defeating Samuel Jones Tildfn. Had the Democratic press of Indiana stood firm against the idea of Mr. Hkndricks running for president the Democratic shies would undoubtedly be brighter than they are. No one man carries as much responsibility for this humiliating defeatasdoes Mr. Hendricks. He ought to hide his face in shame. The comic opera, last evening at Hover's Hall, was not as well attended as the entertaiument deserved. Os course, operas are, as a rule, new to most of our people; but if we could have more of them and less of the drama we believe our people would soon become lovers of the opera. The opera last evening had not a Marie Rose, nor a Louise Kellogg, nor a Patti, nor a Neilson, but those who were present speak in very high terms of the entertainment. We have no desire to comment on any of the characters, as all did well, so we are informed, but it is not detracting an iota for either of the others to say that the friends of Miss Jessie Allison were very happily disappointed. The i title of the piece was “The Last Will ; and Testament,” and Miss Jessie, as ; Mary, far exceeded the expectations ol • herself and friends. Her voice was pe j cuiiarly dear and sweet, while hei ■ power of articulation was remarkably , strong. All in all the entertainmeni | wm very successful.

Epizootic has made its appearance in Meroer couuty, Ohio.

At the Jalapa voting precinct, on Tuesday last, an Indian, whose name wc did not learn, remarked that the entire Democratic party was nothing but a pack of d—d rebels, and then Bill Stilt* went systematically to work and knocked that Indian down, and picked him up and knocked him clear through himself, and kicked him, and punched him, and turned him inside out, and gouegd him, and pulverized him, and then threw him clear over the transom. When the Indian recovered consciousness, and got all the pieces of himself gathered up and put together again, he remarked that he didn't care to be run through another threshing machine bo fore next fall. He is also convinced that if all Democrats are rebels, some of them are mighty hard hitters, also. —Marion Democrat. I ilium Tp. Institute. The first session was held in district No. 3, Friday. Oct. 29. 1880. The Institute was called to order by Mr. Asker, who organized his school and taught in the forenoon. A lesson on the globe was given by Prof Houser, which was very good. At noon all the teachers had assembled and after partaking of a good dinner prepared by Mr. Acker and patrons, we commenced work at 1 o'clock, by a discussion of the forenoon s work in which all the teachers and superintendent took part. After listening to a lecture by Superintendent Luckey and arranging the programme for the next the Institute adjourned to meet Nov. 20, 1880, at No. 4. J. C. F. Galbraith, Secretary.
