Ladies intending to receive New \ ear s calls can have the fact made known by leaving their names at this office the week before. A well-known ami very ambitious lady of Murray Hili has sent to (,'liina for a certain rare kind of tea to serve at a kettledrum next month. What has become of those new principles recently constructed by four or five Democratic editors at Fort Wayne? Can it be possible hey die a-b irnin’ ? O'tr esteemed journalistic brother oi the Hartford City Telegram thinks we were the first to wilt on the ext hange business. But we believe lie is mistaken, for we nevi r cut on our exchanges.

This office is now prepared to do as fine job printing as can be had in any city in Indiana. j Bart Shirey and Will Schirmeyer Sundayed at the Mayer House, Fort : Wayne, last Sunday. After a world of fuss they did read the Passion Play in New York and nobody was hurt, either. Court convened Monday with Judge Bobo on the bench. The docket is an exceptionally light one. The M.

A St. Louis woman sued for a divorc on the ground that her husband called her an old cow. Better had she retaliatea by calling him an ugly old x. Ilia district schools throughout Adams lount' are averaging, at present. 85 per et nt., which is an increase of 25 p< r cent, above the average of I ‘s’ year. With three or four exceptions the teachers are giving perfect .Uisl.'eru.n. The fact is fast developing itself that the lecherous gossipers, who would injure another by malicious and unprovoked lying, are directly connected with some of the most loathsome and degrading specimens of God’s family. The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine! Time. I slow, but unremitting, will make all things even ! The other day Bart was reading about a walking mateh in someexchange and having a desire to know who had the best record as a pedestrian, and also a desire to use a high-sounding term, asked the other compositors if they km w who had the best record as a “pedisteranian.'' Kailcy replied, “Wes-ton-arian " A. McCann has a longer head set'ingoti t p of his shoulders than some " suspect. He ' ikes a pretty reasonable view of the pos’office squabble. He says Dal Trout is not, a fit person forth.- position : that Dil Trout has no business qualifications • and finally, i hat Dal should settle down from business and let his old father keep him ihe balance of his days. Mac seems to have hitched onto the prevailing opinion. The post-office squabble cent nues •vith i abated earnestness and date - ' ainatio i Tile pres.mt incumbent has < > imuled to remain right where he is —if he can. Some six or seven hundred p uro is of th s i.fite have placed themselves on rec ’rd as being satisfied with his past management and will be satisfied if tu is retained Sittoe «ur last issue a new candidate, Tbtuas Auten, is in the field. Thomas was a good soldier and is now going to see whether the Republicans care anything p irticu trly for t.ie soldier or nit. Sholty is a caniidate for the place only in the event of a vacancy. II is petition, we are informe 1, re ids in that way. Trout, quack doctor, on his father's charitable roll, is a can ii late in the fullest sense of the term. All that ha started his eight by ten nondescript for was because he thought it would materia ly assist him in getting the p isls.fi ;e. 31 is .1 n n sorted to tricks to i low for recognition from the worst out-law in the laud.B one m mtha • u'o he started >«t rich ais petition and inv. igled a few pretty good men into signing it by lying I’ke a thief to them. He would tell them that Mr. Blossom was going to resign the office j and that he wan ed to be ready with i his petition when the resignation was -ent in. Now what did he do that for.' He knew a blacker lie never passed the lips of an unhung thief than the one he was daily uttering against an honest and able offi t.il. His black hea' ted ch iraateristies did not become known in town until last Saturday v. hen I’lossom started out with his petition. Then they were exposed by the very men who had sign ‘d Trout s petition. Those sama men want Blossom to remaii. right where he is, but can not now sign his petition because of the hitherto unheard-of lying and rascality prac'iced by Trout. What ■ the result will be no man knoweih. but we are informed by leading Republicans that no change will be mad« now t at le ist, .m ! if a y does take place it - will not be for a year or «•. However. F if a change should take place, Mr. B \V. Sho'ty will be Mr. Blossoms sucees- • sor, as C ‘tigress um Steele has promis- - ed to us< his influence in hit behalf. A a remonstrance to Trout s appointment i. will h sent in, then he will t ike Me . Cann’s adviee, — retire from businesi e and let his old father keep him the bal ance of bis days.

Two Tintypes for thirty cents, at Gast's. A tramp called his shoes -corpora j tions" because they had no soles. t Oh, leap year ! oh, delaying damsel ! oh, several other things! oh. pshaw ! An amateur concert company from the rural districts of Jay county will try and hold forth at Kover's hall cn . Saturday night. If the little squirt Dal Trout should Iby some unforseen a eident get the Decatur postoffice he would move the thing into h'- father's barn to save rent. The Fort Wayne Directory, including a few tributary towns, is being dej livered. Twelve copies were sold in Adams county , —not a very profitable ; advertising medium for De ratur merchants to say the least. En. Di MOCRAT. —On the evening of December 2c a large number of friends gathered at the M. E. parsonage, Decatur, and left fortheir pastor J B. Carns, and family cash and valuables to the amount of $34.00. Thanks, thanks. J. B. and B Lt. Carns. Rei.igioc*—The First Presbyterian ■ church having been undergoing repairs for some mouths is now so far comple ! ted that it will t.e re-opened for services as follows . Friday and Saturday eveiiiiigsuf this week at 7 p. in.. Sabbath at ’0:30 a. m., sermon by the pastor; 2 :30 p. nt. communion services and sermon by Rev. Nave. The public is cordially invited to attend these re-open-ing services. Th Sun. —We invite especial attention to the New York Sun's prospectus for 1881, as published in another column c.f this paper The Sun and Th Decatur Democrat can be had together for $2 25 for one year. This offer will only hold good until the first day of January next. Those wanting the two papers at the above rates must hand in their names and the cash pri >r to January Ist, 1881. The Sun is the leading American newspaper, and it is pre-eminently the poor man's friend. Entertainments.— Next week our people will have a rare treat. The standard Dramatic Company will begin a week’s engagement at Kover's Hall on Monday evening. Our people are familiar with the company, it having appeared here last fall. They favorably impressed our people, both as actors of rare talent and as perfect ladies and gentlemen off the stage. Mr. Compston, the leading actor and manager of the company, is a favorite here and The Di mocrat bespeaks profitable audiences for them. Tickets can be had at th ■ usual p aces. See their small bills and posters. The Tomb.—Samuel Smith was bom m the State of Virginia. Oct. 11. 1809; moved to Ohio, thence to Indiana in March. 1833; entered the farm where Mr. Coons now lives, which had not a stick amiss, and with his willing arm made him a home. At a recent date he selected another locttiou. He was married to Na toy Rheu in 1833. who preceded him to her lung home more than six years ago. Mr. Smith was one of the first voters of the county. When he settled on his claim, there was only four or five voters in the township. At his residence, December sth. 1880, surrounded by his children at the age of 71 years and 24 days, he fell asleep. He leaves four daughters, ene son, grand children and many friends. J- B. Carns. More of the Quack. —Last week this office run short on news ink, a verycommon occurrence in all well-estab-lished offices, and before a new aupply could reach here from Cincinnati the forms fer last week's issue were ready for the press. A custom as old as the art preservative itself was adhered to and an attache of the office went to the Journal office and borrowed enough ink to run off the edition. It was returned he following day, as a new supply arrived before the edition was all ma le up and off. But the little squirt of a quack doctor, Dai Trout, thought he had a good thing, and no less than twenty persons ; were told that night that Williams had ito borrow ink of him. For the benefit of those who may not understand how we do these things we will say that one printing office burrowing from another ; is as customary as it is for one dry j goods store to borrow from another an article that is not in stock. The Journal office has borrowed type, paper, etc., on more than one occasion, but - wc never conceived of so little a triek ■ as to go around town boasting of it. - Even now the two offices are not ■ square. This office owes the Journal t five hundred No. 2 cards and the Journal owes this office two hundred sheets ; of superfine flat cap paper. But the t quack’s idea was to create the imprest I sion that we could not get ink because -' of a lack of means, but for his benefit v we will say that we now have mor. ink t on hands than he could use on his nonr, | desaript in twenty years. His littlel ness in this, however, is similar to the i- dishonest method he has adopted to i- gain the Deca ur postoffice, an account k of which is given elsewhere. Bat what t ’ would become of the brainless little •- squirt if it wasn t for his “Id fath -r ? a That's a matter deserving of serious I contemplation by the township tr»s- ! tea.

Mr. Job Work.—This office is getting out a large number of six-page pamphlets for Dr. Jamison, who is devoting part of his time, study and means to the treatment of reetal diseases. ■ This part of the practice has been long neglected, and yet no other disease en-1 tails more unhappiness and misery i than diseases of be rect um. Re id his 1 pamphlet carefully and yon will brain I a faint idea of a fearful milady that is sapping the very nerve power out of once stout men and women, and who should now be in the prime of strength and beauty. Instead we see cadaver- 1 ous looking beings stalking bout;can't run, hop, step or jump, pull or climb; ;an t remember, think or talk; can’t stand, sit or lie down.with ease; can’t! eat, sleep or love home; but arc irrita ' ble, crabbed, cross and unholy to self and those around them. Dr. A. B. ; Jamison offers you everything fair and | will do just what he says, for the pam-1 phlet has a pure, healthy ring, backed ! by an energetic ambitious physician. The Doctor's study, experience and happy results in treatment gives him pleasure to announce to the public his ability to trra' successfully the diseas es mentioned. If afflicted give him a call and you will bless the day youcalled to consult Hm. Consultation free of charge. Send for a pamphlet ai.d learn the cause of your poor health. A Loose Crupper.— -You ought to have seen us, sun bonnets, fans, parasols, and all ; down the street, over the fence and into the house. Then the rosy checked damsel joined in the laugh which her little speech provoked from the bevy of pretty girls around her. "Ob, what would we have done had it happened uptown, chimed in another. Our reporter had the clue and soon ascertained tha some of our sprightly and fun-loving girls thought it would be so jolly to get Luzerne Cook's one-horse delivery sled, and have a little sensational drive through town. A squad was accordingly de tailed to assail Luzerne, who, coward like pull .d down his colors after the first, volley, and surrendered at once, sled, horse and harness, of the queer arrangement of weather-worn leather which hung promiscously to the horse could be called harness Well, the rig is at the gate of a cozy home in the south west part of town. The door opens presently, and out co nes a hall dozen beings, whose fantastic dresses and grotesque appearance, would leave a spectator wondering what species they belonged to, bad it not been for the merry, inimitable girl-laugh, which could not be suppressed. Now for the fun of driving through town and making people stare, and of laughing tn their disguises at gaping beaux. As they proceeded toward the sight-see-ing part of town, they might have noticed, if they had been of "Susan B s style that something was wrong about the “fixins'' on that horse, for they would slide this way and that, ami the horse would gain on the sled. The crupper anything but stationary. The hames opening up like girls will now and then open up their —“tut tut.”— The shafts taking the place of spurs, and everything tending demoralizationward ; but they were busy thinking of the fun ahead, whet, all of a sudden near the corner of Cher- ; ry and Morgan streets, that sled, like ' grandfather's clock, "stopped sh»rt, I the horse like John Brown’s soul, went “marching on. Then you ought ito have seen our sunbonnets, etc. And i that Friday afternoon the cold stern ! world moved on as though nothing hail j ■ happened to change the course of the ' -rippling river of laughter." Moral: Girls, before you start for another time , have some responsible, trustworthy old > bachelor, like Win Silvers, examine ; the “fixins."— Bluffton Bann< r. 1 St. Lout'.

About 6 o'clock this morning he called for waler to wash himself, One of tl guards brought him some ; in a basin which he took and immedi--1 ately flung it into the guard's face, lie then dashed through one of the ron: window -of the room and ran down the road leading out into the i country, the blood streaming from his face and h nds from cuts made by the broken glass. About a quarter of a mile from town is the house of Thomas . Ryan, an old man of sixty years, with whom lived his widowed daughter. Mrs. Smith, and her littlegirl of twelve, and a boy still younger. Arriving at this house. Jo. k.-hein, who had stripped himself naked mi the road, rushed wildly in. ordered the inmates to kneel down and pray, saying they had but fifteen minutes to live. They all obeyI ed but the little boy. who escaped from I the house and ran to a neighbor’s and I gave the alarm. When friends arrived at the scene they found Ryan and Mrs. ' Smith dead, with their skulls smashed in by an ax. and the little girl lying < headier-- im the floor. The maniac had chopped the child's head completely off (Living finished his bloody work : at this place, he seized the bleeding head of the innocent child by its long flaxen hair, and swinging it at arm s inigth over his own head, he dashed (down the road gain. About a quarter ■of a mile bey ond he stopped at the house of Dr. Gordon Entering, he found only a servant gill. He ordered her. as had the Ryan family, to kneel and pray. The girl screamed, winch brought a hired man from the stable, , and Dr. Gvrdon appearing at the same time, after a fierce and desperate struggle they overpowered a d bound him with a rope. He was then taken to , Chester, his wounds d essed, clothing : put on him and then placed in charge of . persons who brought him to East St. , Louis to-nigh and took him thence to ! the Jacksonville Asylum.
