Shame. B The wife of Chas. Suttle made an . unsuccessful attempt to end this life ' last- Tuesday night by shooting herself. Tin.- ball entered the left breast near her heart. It is thought the will recover. Family trouble is said to be the cause W.,;., for this rash act. If Mr. Christiancy tells the truth, S, and we believe he does, he has been a j Slouch abused man. These charming * treasury girls are too often regular sue Wdevila. The first night after ChrisI? tiancy’s marriage his bride told him ;#she loved another man and would ap- ; ply for a divorce. A bill has been introduced in the Klegislature to abolish die office of counOjK| ty superintendent of public instructs ions, and place in its Stead the office I of examiner, who shall be limited to ninety days in which to make the examination of the schools. The same bill also provides that each teacher shall pay for his own license.

The Fort Wayne Sentinel, daily, is not delivered nny longer in Decatur. We leara there wa > a misunderstanding j between the ca.rier ami publisher. Rev. Theo. Biltz, of A irris, 111., and who was married to a Miss Fritze of this place less than three months ago, died at his home in Illinois Monday night. Andrew Fritze, brother to Mrs. Biltz, j started on the two o’clock train Tuesday for Morris. Tho bereaved widow will return with hint. McCann bought of James Faust, of St. Mary’s township, three head of steers that weighed 4.450 pounds. He paid J 4.55 per hundred. Mac says they are the best steers he has bought in Adams county, and he has been in the business nine years. It pays best to raise none but good stock. The Wabash Plain Dealer says that the Bishop presiding at the next M. E. conference will be petitioned to allow j Rev. J. B. Carns to remain in Decatur another year. This will be news to many, we believs, but if such is the fact, and the Bishop grants the petition, Rev. Carns will have occasion for feeling just a little bit proud. The county board of education was called together last Monday for the purpose of changing the textbooks now in use in the county. But they adjourned, leaving the matter where it was We understand no good reason was given for changing, and the representatives of Appleton's books packed their "grips” and departed. It is very pleasing to know that nearly every person you meet has read the works of George Eliot. We never suspected she had half so many admirers. The other day a professsional man, who resides not a thousand miles from Decatur, was sitting in our sanctum reading the Chicago Times. After digesting the contents of that sheet he laid it upon the desk and remarked to us that George Eliot was dead. We replied by a simple “Yes.” “Well, sir,” continued the p. in. (professional man), “I have all of Eliot’s works, and I regard him as the only man who has made any success at all at rivaling Shakespeare.” ITu: Democrat had an unconscious editor for nearly half an hour. We have received a bound volume containing eleven copies of Ayer’s Almanac for 1881, in almost as many different languages. This is just one millionth part of the edition, which, notwithstanding the increased cost of production, the enterprising publishers have issued this year for free distribution in all parts of tho world. The polyglot collection is well worth preserving. Dr. Ayer always treats the subject of health and disease in a serious and dignified manner, and affords his readers a large amount of valuable information. His Cherry Pectoral and other popular remedies are considered standard preparations, as different as possible from the quack nostrums the names of which disfigure natural scenery all over the country. Db. Paul — Dr. Paul, the eminent German Eye Specialist, who has jestored Miss Della Culley, and many ethers about here, from darkness to light, will make his fifth visit at Decatur and be at the Burt House on Monday, January 31st, Providence permitting. Examination free of charge. School Report.—J. C. Galbreath, teacher of No. 1 Union township, favors us with the folio ring report: Average attendance, . ~'r cent, of enrollment ; ai'iieral average of el us A. including all the branches and higher arithmetic. 93 per cent, class B, including drawing, grammar arithmetic, geography, reading, and orthography per. cent. He also reports the other classes in a • flourishing' condition. Mathematic al Cubiositt.—The year 1881 will be a mathematical curiosity. From right to left and from left to right it reads the same. Eighteen divided by 2 gives 9 as a quotient; 81 divided by 9 gives 9 ; if divided by C the quotient contains a 9; ifmulipli«d by 9 the product contains two 9s: 1 and 8 are 9; 8 and 1 are 9. If 18 be placed under the 81 and added the sum is 99. If the figures be added thus :1,8,8, 1, it will give 18. Reading from left to right it is 18, and 18 is two-ninths of 81. By adding, di-1 viding and multiplying 19 9s are pro-1 duced, being one 9 for each year re-; quired to complete the century. Miller's Meanness. —Robert Miller is a bridge watchman on the Wa-1 bash railway, and, if ho hasn’t been I terribly slandered, a mean, brutal “cuss,” whom it were base flattery to call dog. Robert's wife died on last Saturday, and from the best information the Courier has been able to obtain her death was hastened by his ! brutal treatment of her. It has been ’ his custom to beat his wife and heap abuse of the vilest and most cruel character upon the poor defenseless : creature. She lay sick at her home ; without the care of physician or friend, I until she was in a dying condition, l when Miller, probably alarmed at the result of hia brutality, summoned a few of the neighbors to the bedside of the dying woman. If half bo true we have heard of Miller’scussedrtess h< -hould be disposed of a In Judge Lynch, as no man who would abuse a woman as he is charged with having done, should be given the benefit of a trial, jury or clergy.— Wabaeh Courter,

I I Wn n 'd' ft e&• c Fo u i I? ?a y < Or, What Caused the Oealiz About eleven o'clock last Saturday I night Henry Railing was picked up j from where he Lad apparently fallen, at the foot of the stairway leading to Dr. Holloway’s office, in a half-frozen and unconscious condition. He was carried to the livery stable of Railing & Smith, where he lay in an unconscious state until Sunday evening when his brother, Daniel Railing, had him removed to his residence on First street. Physicians attended him, but despite their skill death relieved him of all pain at about ten o’clock Monday forenoon. There is much speculation as to the ! cause of Henry Railing’s death, some being very sanguine in their belief that he was dealt a heavy blow, robbed, and left to die. But this theory will hardly do, as it is now pretty certain he had no money worth speaking of on his person : however, it is possible he had money that his friends knew nothing of. Another theory, and a very reasonable one, is : He was seen on Saturday evening very much intoxica ted, and it is supposed by many that he was wandering about town Saturday night, trying to find a warm place, and had found the stairway alluded to above ; that he was ascending the stairway and being intoxicated fell backward, striking his head hard on the steps, from the effects of which ho died. This is the version of the majority, we believe. The deceased was buried Tuesday afternoon. He leaves several children. We understand he was divorced from his wife. Those Cards.—Mr. Trout says in his paper last week that Geo. 8. Stanton told him (Trout) that he, Stanton, never laid any claim to “those cards.” Now, either Stanton or Trout is guilty of stupendous lying, and to prove that one or the other is guilty of just what we say we publish Stanton’s postal card to us. It was written on the 14th of December, 1880. Here it is, the same which is in our possession, and the same also which can be examined by any one who is interested enough to know just how small some people can be. The card is addressed to “8. Ray Williams, Decatur, Ind.” Office of the “Enterprise,” Montpelier, Ind., Dec. 14, 1880. Dear Sir :—l notice by article in the “Democrat” that you are laboring under a mistake. The “No. 0” cards were not borrowed of the Journal office, but of your humble servant, and which is due me and not the former. I am in no hurry for them. The Enterprise will be resumed in a few days, all “nomo print.” Yours Fraternally, G. S. Stanton. The above is a true and correct copy of Stanton’s postal card. It is on exhibition in our museum. On the 25th of December Mr. Stanton called at this office for the cards. He told the writer they belonged to him and that he never geld them to Philips; that nothing was said concerning them, and that they were duo to him and to no one else. He told the same thing to our attorney. Now, if what Mr. Dal Trout says be true, Geo. S. Stanton can be set down as a little bit the biggest liar the Country has heard of for many a day. Stanton, defend yourself. Did you tell Dal Trout that you never laid l any claim to those cards ? The question pan be answered by “yes” or “no.” fly iisetteal, Decatur, Ind., Jan. Ist ’Bl. One of the most noted social events | of the season occurred at. tha residence of Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, of this city, ! on last Thursday evening, at the marriage of her daughter Lilly to Mr. Henry Hite, of the firm of McKendry 4 Co. At seven o’clock the contracting parties presented themselves in the parlor, when Rev. J. B. Carns, the of- j ficiating clergyman, performed the marriage ceremony which was short but very impressive, after which the newly wedded couple were introduced to the guests who were present. By the time congratulations were through with supper was announced, and all present partook of the elegant repast prepared i ! for the occasion. The table fairly • groaned under its weight of edibles, consisting of best be procured. (Much credit is due the bride and her mother for the elegant supper). The bride was elegantly attired in a I seal-brown silk .demi-trajn, trimmed with brocade silk of same color, with white Duchesse lace tic. The groom was dressed in conventional black. The guests present were J. B. Carns and ! lady, Dr. T. T. Dorwin and lady, Frank Railing and lady, B. W. Sbolty and lady. Fanny B. Dorwin, Ma'ty Schlagel, Kate Jackson, Lizzie Weimer. Rebecca Weimer, D. II Clever, Dick Dorwin and George Hit*. The following is a list of the pres- ' ents received from friends : silver cas- ■ tor, D. H.

IScvv.-ipH ;.-er 'iV Many young men, fresh from college, ■ ■rammed with learning and ambition, desire to become journalists that they may exercise moral influence over tho masses which are reached by a newspaper. They do not understand that journalists are not turned out of Universities ready-made. Journalism is a profession which can only be mastered after long years of active service—on the same principle of that to be a good lawyer, or a successful minister, or a competent mechanic, one must have practical experience, and can attain prominence only after long years of patient labor. Young men on leaving college are apt to think they could shape the destiny of a Nation if they could only get control of the columns of a newspaper. Perhaps a young graduate does get an opportunity to write editorials for some country weekly. He launches a bolt, and then anxiously awaits the report. He generally waits in vain, and is both pained and chagrined to find out that his utterances have attracted no attention whatever. Perhaps he gets a position on one of the big dailies, and, with a proud heart, he hands in to the managing editor a long article, over which he spent several days and nights in writing and rewriting, only to be sharply told that such compositions are useless —that what is wanted is a concise statement of news. He is perhaps detailed towrite up some congenial subject, and is ordered to have it done at a certain time. Hampered thus, pinioned genious refuses to work, and the ambitious youth makes a flat failure. Journalism is drudgery —plodding, unostentatious drudgery. The individual work which marks a complete newspaper attracts no attention from the public generally. Readers say this or that paper is a good one, without once caring who did this or that to make it such. And this alone would be cruel to the unfledged who hopes to yield a moral influence. If one of his articles appears he expects it to be the feature of the paper, and is | disappointed if people do not talk > about it and insist upon knowing who ■ wrote it; whereas he may write for I years without achieving distinction. Matrimonial.—Dr. W. Harvey, of Boston, Mass., sends us the copy of more than a column “ad” for a wife. He is forty-two years old, and must ■ have a wife-, providing, of course, he can get such an one as suits him. She ! must be between 25 and 37 years old, single, handsome and intelligent. Her breath must be sweet; her hair natural and plenty of it; no one with false j teeth or any physical disability need write him. He means business. Ho has a yearly income of $2,000. New Music. —John Smith’s March, I by Lamartine. This is the title of the latsst novelty for organ or piano. It has become so popular that dealers buy it by the thousand.
