"1881. ’ Miss Nnnna Menef>e, teacher of district No. 1, Kirkland township, was in town on Saturday list. A gang of counterfeiters are shoving the queer on Williams county, Ohio, farmers and business men. It seems there is some mistake about Marion securing the Narrow Guage shops. Delphos will get a chance at them too. Rob’t. Rrownlce, « beloved and promising young son of Judge Brow nlee, of Marion, died Iri Colorado on the 26th ult., of consumption. Frank Baldwin, of Schade & Co., Cleveland, was here the last of last week. He reports immense sales in his line, glass and qneensware. The board of trust- es lias been petitioned to purchase hooks, ladders and buckets 1 ' i’-e in time of fires, and also t have a night watchman. The Casad concert company left Decatur in a very (Ca) sad frame of mind. Their receipts at the door amounted to only seven dollars, hence their sadness The Wiilshir, le dependent says that “newspaper editors that people don t “talk about, and sometimes abuse, are • rather poor concerns. A\ ell never talk about Dal Trout again. J. M. Hill and J. D.

What Decatur needs is t city charter. True, some are opposed to it, but we believe a large majority favor it. if the question, was agitated it could I he made an issue of the spring election, ' and then we would know the wish of the people. The town is s.idlv in need of advantage* that can not he had as : ’we i o now constituted, and if the ! quest mi is brought squarely before the | people for adoption or rejection it is j altogether r bable the former wou d prevail bv a hands nne majority. We believe every subscriber taking ' The Democrat is able to pay for it. and that being the case why will you not call and !o si? We need the uo-n ey, and need it now. We expend cash money every day to keep thing moving and how do you expect us to continue doing so lifeless yon pay us wnat yon owe ? It paii.' us to put in a dun evx ry week, but we are compelled to do something that will lead to the coil, etioi, of what, is honestly due us. There t.r now over five hundred subscribers who owe two dollars each. What a fine Christmas present that would be if all those would seud in the two dollars t they owe.

White and Blymycr are first-class printers. Stilson Hutchins of the Washington Dost points nut the mistakes of Bob Ingersoll. They are numerous and serious. The court house at Anderson, this •Hale, was, ti get! - r with neatly all its contents, destroyed by fire last Friday morning. W. S. ll.i'ehkius has been appointed foreman of bridges and buildings of the Narrow Guage road. His office will be at Delphos. Delphos has a congress and the speaker grants a recess every fifteen minutes to let the members have a chance to “bowl up.” Benjamin Bethel, of Wolf Lake. Nobh' county, is on trial in the Luiited S ates court at Fort Wayne for fraudulently procuring a pension. Miss Laura E. Dainty, the charming elocutionist who sa pleased a Decatur audience last winter, gave an entertainment at Delphos a few evenings since. The building formerly used by Harry Canovan for a marble shop has been moved to a lot on South Second street, wheio it will be occupied focoopering purposes. The editor of the Wabash Courier “tearfully ’ advises a father to not name a young son after him, and the reason for it is that the editor fears he may yet go to the bad and tbes that father would bo in a fix for a fact, Mr. D.

The C.-ner.t! was at that time a Democrat, and is yet. as ho has never, we believe, voted any oilier than a Democratic ticket. On Sunday last the Presbyterian church edifice was formally dedicated. Rev. Kanouse's dedicatory so, iiicti is highly spoken of as beinj one of unusual interest to not only members of the church but to all cLizous of Decaturas well. A three hundred dollar debt hung over the church, lmt the amount raised on Sunday will morlhau liquidate the debt. $334,47 hal - ing been subscribed.

The centre of attraction \ jin this company is the rising young >- ! j tress. Miss Lizzie Evan:-:. This voting lady is certainly improving 1, youd 1 what she could reasonably hope for. Last evening she impersonated Fanchon, the Cricket, and it is but just to say that she fairly captured the audience in giving utterance to the passion, emotion and joy so human like embodied in the character. Miss Evans is destined to some day be a star of enviable repu tatinn, but she, not unlike all others who ary striving to move onward and upward in their chosen professions, will have to battle against the adversities and vicissitudes so peculiar to this life. Bhe will meet with scoffs and jeers, and villainous flattery, but a patient submission to all these, aud a continuance of that perseverance which seems to have characterized her young life, and final success can but crown her efforts. The company will remain with us through the week. Reserved seats are on sale at Sholty’s drug store Getting Affray — Lawlessness again reigned supreme in Decatur last Saturday evening. The facts in the case are substantially as follows : A young man by the name of James Mcem-y and several associates were in Fat Burns’ saloon. They were passing away the time in a peaceful limn ner, talking or singing as the ease might ho. It may not be out of place

to say that right here the question will be asked, -What was Janies Meeney there at all for? ITad he been elsewhere he would not have been stabbed.” Os course, that is all true enough, but for all that he was there and was very seriously hurt, too. As stated above they were peacefully passing away the time and were at the far waiting for drinks when James Baxter entered the room. Baxter demanded that lie i>e treated dong with the rest. No particular attention wapaid him. This doubtless worried him and he clinched M' eney and another young fellow, saying at the same time he could whip any Irish s—of a b—in the house. Ashe said this he shoved Meeney tmone side, whereupon Mceuey informed him tii it. he must not use him in that manner if he was a small man. At this juncture Baxter s auck Meeney a fearful Mow, but the latter, small and tight as he rallied and gave Jim Baxter as deserved a pommeling us ever a man received. Meeney knocked him tight and left, forward and backward, down and up. and those who saw it say that every time the little fellow hit him be raised him off his feet. Meeney had hitr. pretty well used up when Squire Bailey eutered urn! demanded peace in the name of the c-onimnuwcnith "f Indiana. At this Meeney olieyed the of liver and quit, supposing, as he says, that the fight was over with. He was just in the act of picking up his hat when Baxter ju apod toward him, saying at the same time. "i 11 kill the s—os a b—and bis powerful arm sent

ilie blade ot a huge new jack knife j ' through the scalp of Meenev. Meenev i | was taken to Hr. Jelieffs office where j the wound was dressed. Meeney is 1 now doing as well as can be expected hut it is only an accident that saved him from dimming d< al at the feet of i Jim Baxter, The knife is a murderous looking one, and when we take it into consideration that Meeney is a little man, weighing, perhaps not a hunirtd and forty pounds, and that Baxis a large powerful fellow, welching fully two hundred pounds, and that his ■ crowing boast for years has been that he could whip any man in Decatur, the only reasonable conclusion to arrive at is that lie was bent on taking the life of James Meeney right then and there. Baxter was disarmed and arrested by Marshal Rhodes ami looked up. In a short time he appeared before Justice Bailey, who remanded ; him to the lock-up until Monday. About two o'elo-, k Monday t:sr at.iie jury found a bill against hint for asault with intent to kill ate! he wa forthwith taken by the Sheriff to the : circuit court room where he appear, d I

Baxter’s attorney* ! not being ready for trial t!iu Judge or dered that he be taken to Fort Wayne and lodged in the Alien county jail for safe keeping until a day next week i when he will be brought hack for trial. ■ Tiie Democrat will publish full proi eeedings of the trial. Baxter, when - sober, is an industrious fellow, attending strictly to his own affairs, but when under the influence of whiskey i ho is a dangerous man. Carry tin* feus to Mary.
