[ Confidence men are in the county Democrat readers will please take | The narrow gauge trains run very regular, considering the extreme cold weather. I. Mr. Isaac Strass, »f Fort. Wayne, is in town looking after some unsettled business. ' Butler has a bachelor association. They ought to employ Tom Meegan to act as secretary. The wicked cannot stand on slippery places any better than anybody else. We have tried it. : The memory of the oldest inhabitant fails him when he tries to remember of so snug a winter. I Tiie antedeluvian has so far failed to offer an apology. It is nearly time to hear something drop. ■ “Samlm, did you ever see the Catskill Mountains?" “No, salt; but I've seen the eats kill mice." "That M rs. Florence Bacon proved to be a regular old fraud. She skipped the town owing a wash bill. The Faust steers brought 5J cents per pound in the Cincinnati market. It pays best to raise goo 1 stock. Mr Hite, of the firm of J. E. McKendry & Co., is paying on an average of SI,OOO per week for timber. Gough’s lecture in Fort Wayne was not as well patronized as the managers hid reason for believing it would be. Miss Hattie Studabaker. of Decatur, h i been in town this week, the guest of Miss bill Catheart —/. lyranye Reyilter, 2]lt. Dr. Fitzpatrick and wife of Newville, are visiting their nephew, E. A. Huffman, Esq., and other relatives and friends. A. C. Spangler, of Williams county, Ohio, was in town last Saturday taking W.G. Spencer's order for a stock of the celebrated Bryan plows. Mrs. Parker, who beat her stepdaughter to death, has been bound over to the circuit court of Allen county. Her bond was fixed at $4,000. Mr. and Mrs J C. Patterson, of Lima, Ind . were in town last Friday. They went to Winchester Saturday to visit Mr*. Patterson's mother. Mrs. Flora Freeman, a notorious prostitute of Peru, ended her life of shame last Thursday morning with a dose of hydrate of chloral and morphine. The drama “Foiled" at Rover’s Hall last Friday and Saturday evenings, was not very well patronized. The drama was good and deserved a larger audience. Mr. Howard Hosford, of Jackson. Turn., was the guest of Mr. Wm. Dorwin and family this week. Mr. 11. is en twle to Peoria, 111., where he will also wisit friends. Stark county has the smallest population (5,105) and Marion the largest (102,780) in the state. Adams county has 15,385. The population of the state is 1,978,326. Those South Carolinians, from Michigan, the same over which the dratnatio critic of the Journal became so infatuated, have busted and gone back to their northern homes. By looking over an old copy of the Adams County Times we discovered that our townsman, Jim 11. Fristoe, indulged some iy newspaper confabs. He wasn't so slow, either. For some unknown reason the report got into the Bluilton papers that Adam Pease, of this county, had disappeared and that there were strong suspicions of foul play. Mr. Pease is at home, enjoying good health and making money. Henry B. Kelly, editor and proprietor o p t le Lima, Ohio, Democrat, died at the Imperial hotel, in Washington City, last Saturday evening of apoplexy. Hen, as he was familiarly known by the craft, was one of the most successful newspaper mrnagers in Ohio. Una his management the Democrat ranked with the first papers of the state. He was fifty-one years of age,

Decatur’s professional juror manage! — to squeeze into the box. The proses sional juror is about as big a nuisanci as the fellows who, with one elbov leaning upon the saloon bar, are al ways on time for a drink. We have several school reports, i. e. | monthly reports, loing upon our table but they will not be published now ! feachers will oblige us if they wil 1 1 wait until the end of their school term We will cheerfully give them publica ~ tian in The Democrat. The Y. P. S. of the Presbyterian y ■ church will give the mirth-loving people of Decatur an opportunity to laugh \ on the evening’s of the 10th and 11th !of February. As “Madame Jarley" will appear with her wonderful collec 5 lion of “Wax Works," which will appear as natural as when living. Don't ) forget the time. The body of Lillie Parker, a 13-year--old girl, was exhumed last Saturday y from her last resting place in a cemetery a few miles east of Fort Wayne. The body was discovered to be a mass , ; of bruises, inflicted by blows of a club i : in the hands of a heartless step moth er. The latter was arrested and lodgk ! ed in the Fort Wayne jail. It seemed that every man in town I had been sworn for the purpose of quali . ifying as a juror in the Baxter trial. ■ Many farmers were ordered to be seated in the “box," but many failed to “pass.’’ i ’ At last one good, honest-looking farmI er was captured, sworn and “tested." lie filled the bill, but was terribly op- ! posed to doing things up in that way. Finally his honor, the Judge, inquired for his reasons for not liking the situation, and the honest, well-meaning feilew said: “Why, I've got to be going home.” It was then about 4p. in., but the court thought best for him to remain. It may seem strange, but it is a fact nevertheless, that there are many married men in the town of Decatur who are subscribers to neither The Democrat or Journal. How a family man can get along without taking one or both of his own town’s patters is more than we are able to conjecture. The fact was never so vividly brought to our notice as on last Monday when two . well-looking men, citizens of our own town, knew nothing of the Baxter cutting affray and had seen nothing of it in the papers, as they were not subscribi ers. They were not wanted to set on the jury. The Paulding Democrat gives the following account of a revival meeting which terminated in a riot: “Last I Tuesday evening the Elm Church, lo|ca ed about three and one-half miles north-east of Paulding, was attended as usual, by an audience residing in ! that vicinity, who, for about a week I have been making an effort for the conversion of souls. Among the audience was a young man known as “Bank” Upthegrove, John Upthegrove his father, and Granville Finley, all of whom are colored. During the services some hostile language took place between Bank and Granville, regarding an old feud, when Bank's temper getting the better of his judgment, he drew a revolver and fired three shots at his enemy, none of which happened to take effect upan young Finley or any of the audience. The contestants I passed out of the house where the revolver was dispensed with for the time being and Fipiey was assaulted by . Bank and his father, and thoroughly beaten. During the melee Finley’s I cries for assistance brought to the scene Lewis Talbot, the colored barber 'of Paulding, who was spending the evi ening at the Finley residence, a short ! distance from the church. Before Lewis could take a hand he was seized by the elder Upthegrove, while Bank turned his pepper-box loose, firing out the remaining four charges, one ball taking effect in Talbot's leg just below the hip. The wounded man taken to Kinley's house and medical aid summoned. Weather Table.—Mr. J. P.

id THE BAXTER TRIAL ! sie JXTo Verdict Yet. • Will They Agree ? Last Monday morning the case of ( State vs. James Baxter, charged with stabbing with intent to kill one James v. Meeney was called in the Adams cirII cuit court for trial. Tin- defense was 1. represented by Messrs. Heller and i- Congleton and the State by Prosecutor John T. France. Considerable time was occupied in selecting a jury. A n . score or more of witnesses were examh inod and eross examined. Many were I called to the stand the second time. „ For the State Mr. Melachia Burns and Esquire Bailey were the principal witnesses. Both were called to the stand >- • a second time and their testimony was straightforward. The counsel for the defense tainly endeavored to confuse Mr. Burns while on cross-examination. I 4t four p. m., Tuesday, the testimony ’* was all in aud the arguments begun. Mr. France opened for the Stats. He s was followed by Messrs. Congleton and Heller in the order named. The ar- *' gumciits were elaborate audexhaustive. >' No point was left untouched. The case was given to the jury n at 11:45 a. tn. Wednesday, and at this writing (nine a. m. Thursday) no ver--1 diet is yet reported. The jury was out d all night, but what the fate of James ” Baxter will be no earthly being at this time know eth. We will keep the forms " open untill 12 m. for the result. Later.—At 9:30 this a. m. the jury ■ returned a verdict of guilty as charged ] and fixed the penalty at two years in . the penitentiary. Baxter listened to , the reading of the verdict unmoved, . although manifesting deep interest. His counsel will move for a second j trial, basing the motion on points of law and misconduct of the jury. It is said that some of the jurors wanted 1 to send him “up” for ten years. The difference of time is what kept them out so long. ' “Those Cards' Again.—cerr tainly owe our readers an apology for 3 again alluding to “those cards,” but on 3 this occasion we devote some space to > the subject, because by so doing we > are acting honorably with Mr. Stanton. > Mr. D. G. M. Trout said in his paper, and • also while under oath in court, that ■ Mr. Stanton told him (Trout) that he never laid any claim to those cards. > We published Mr. Stanton’s card to us, showing conclusively that the cards ( belong to Mr. Stanton, and also that he so notified us. When Trout swore that ’ Stanton told him he never laid any claim to the cards it left the latter in a very “curious" situation, go curious I in fact that he declines to remain in it any longer than possible. We have received the following letter from Mr. s Stanton, and publish it in full. It will therefore be seen that the alleged ed- ( itor of the Journal, Dal Trout, is not only a consummate and willful liar, but ! ! J ,' that he swore in the presence of the court and Almighty God to a lie. We have Mr. Stanton s word for it, and hero it is: ' “The Montpelier Enterprise. "Ves Stanton, Editor, “Montpelier, Ind., Jan. 24, 1881. “Dear Sir: I am surprised that the readers of The Democrat Sod the Journal arc not disgusted with your . ‘card' harrangue. 1 should rather sacrifice a dozen such packs than to harrass niy readers with such balderdash-; ! Now as to my connection with Mr. j ■' Trout. I told him, as I had told oth-! i ers, ‘that I thought it a small amount: -to fuss over,' and ’that I did not now , care who had the cards, but that I cer- ! tainly NEVER included them in the inr voice of stationery I had sold to Phillips. and from the manner iu which he ; (Phillips) had dishonored a note that I ! had sold to Mr. L. Yager when it became due, I did not feel like letting 1 him (Phillips) claim the cards when I had not included them in the invoice,' 1 etc. Such is the conversation ha<l with j Mr. Trout, and as for me saying that i I ‘had never laid qqy claim to the i ' cards,’ * deny every word, and he has 1 either misunderstood me, or has in- ; ; vented them. Yours, etc., “Stanton." We have no further comments to ** ma|>e. \Vg have been an innocent 1 pi;riy in the whole transaction, and we 8 can well afford to let the matter rest. <sUt Concerl. 1 The Grand Gift Concert for the new St. Joseph's school will be held on February 19th, 1881. Ths best of the gifts to the lucky number will be an in lot, No. 561, only one square and a-half from the Grand Rapids depot. I This lot is valued at S2OO, being so near the depot and nearer still to the sewer street. A deed is guaranteed, ’ as it is presented by Mr. and Mrs. Dicrkes. Therefore, purchase tickets. To one of these may be awarded this ’ good town lot, and may be the begin- ’’ ning of your prosperity. Tickets are sold for SI.OO and with this you may ’ make S2OO. Other gifts, such as a lady's gold ’ watch, a silver plated caster, chromos, costly vases, etc., will be awarded to I lucky ticket holders. Hence, buy tickets, and you will help to complete ■ the school house and may be made happy on the 19th of February. i The fair will begin on the 15th, and for five evenings an occasion will be ' ; offered you to amuse yourgclves, to see many novel things, to hear good music and get rid of a great deal of burdensome money. Fair will be at the new 2 school house hall. Rev W. Theo. W.

A Bad Daddy,—Last Monday Andrew Gay, a well-to-do farmer residing some five miles distant from Decatur, drank too freely of hard cider, and the result was that he kicked his son from f the table and fired three ineffectual 1 shots at him. An affidavit being filed g against him officers, armed with the . necessary papers, proceeded to his s farm to arrest and bring hiiu to town, i But Gay wouldn’t have things that r way and defied the law. Yesterday 3 two or more officers made a second trip k to the farm, but it was fruitless. Gay . armed himself with revolvers, guns and , knives and made the officers “git. This morning Sheriff Krick went for | him, but has not yet returned. Gay . is a subscriber to Tim Democrat and | ought to know better. tenrra Gleanings. } - • BY RUS-TI-CU*. .

Tonnelier, cf Decatur, were in town Sunday, the guests of i N. P. and Aunt Sallie Heaston. O. H. Jeffres, the genial insurance i man of Greenville, was in town Monday evening. He took several applitions to the home office while here. Uncle Peter Lugibill invited his nine children in to see him on the 3rd, and while they were there presented each of them with SSOO in C4£h as » present, J. W.

The business is competitive, and makes things interesting among the mill men. T is said that those three fellows that went to Berne en Saturday night broke their sleigh and afterwards thought they were in the show business and did some tumbling. We guess that it is an actual fact that Robinson stood on his head while Mike done the bare back riding and Jim served as waiter. Andy Juday, J. O. Jones, Jacob Shoemaker and G. W’. Pyle, with their ladies, boarded a big sled and drove out to Jacob Clingers, where they enjoyed themselves hugely until long after the usual hours for retiring notwithstanding the warning old mother Shipton and James M. Swormstedt has given them. The attraction at Decatur must be very strong, for when Pinkey, the In- 1 surance man, comes up this way it al | ways draws him there and keeps him over Sunday. There certainly must be i opium mixed with it for he is so drew- I sy when he gets hereon Monday after- ; noon that it is impossible to keep his 1 eyes open. James F. Dyens died at his home, ’ j three miles northeast of taivn, on the I • 24ih. alter a lingering illness of cou- | sumption, aged 57 years. 9 months and 128 days.

Dave Hodishell and his wife rcceiv- i ed the word on Sunday, that John Hen- ! ry Miller’s wife, a cousin who lives 1 south of Bluffton, had They ■ started there Ute on Sunday evening, ! and when they returned informed us, that a sister of Mrs. Miller, hid c >.ne ; from Peru in a sleigh, aud having a ■ baby along, kept it wrapped up so close j that when she got tc Mr. Miller’s, the little thing had smothered to death. I This week started out full of aeoi--1 dents. On Monday C. K. Thompson ; slipped and fell while in the act of boarding a train and sprained his ankle and won’t be able to be around for several days. On Tu ■‘day Andy Juday s little boy fell and broks his col lar bone, and Barney Ford while en- ' deavoring to put a bolt on at the sawmill got caught in the machinery, ' breaking his arm in two places, and I otherwise cutting and bruising him.

He would not only represent the state but the United States in the broadest sense of the word. 1‘ . t Lew Garfield and Geo. Stover, on 0 the night of Jan.

With file and saw they cut ei out of their cell on the third tier and went to the top cells, which are on the , fifth tier, and next the roof. H e - e 1 with brace atid bit they cut through 8 two thicknesses of inch boards, but in e removing the slate on the rjof they e were heard and discovered.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN. J. M. PIERCE, EDITOR. 3 — ■■■ 1 Fellow Teachers : Another year 1 is upon us all. The one closed is of 1 little importance to us, now. Its misi fortunes and mistakes are gone, leavs ing only the knowledge and wisdom . they taught us. Its success and pleasures serve as inspiration to us, only. ■ Lt is not to us as teachers, especially, > to brood over the errors and to boast ■ over the bonanzas of the past. The - present duty’ should be all to us. It ’ I contains all the past and all the future. ■ | Others may hang the past upon us, we i need not Others may plan our fuj lure, we have to make it. We aud the ' Divine spirit within us are our own I destinies. I ' Man is bit uwu siar; and tho soul thnt < a h Ren ier an bones: hip! pe« feet uihd. Comman Is all light, m II influence, fill fate.” As some matter promised for publication failed to make its appearance in time for last issue, the educational ' column was short. We earnestly re- ■ quest our co-workers to send in matter at once in the form of locals, institute ! reports, or relating to school teaching. i-ldticatioiial. Let us with one voice thank the editor of The D mocrat for his kindness to us poor pedagogues in permitting us to exchange our views regarding the educational interests of our county ; for the dearest and best interests of our community are entrust— 1 to the teacher of pu bli c Bc i lool . The children of each household are I under his care, and he is instructing i and training the next generation. In less than a score of years, the faithfulness with which teachers’ duties are discharged will seriously affect the int srests of all, for it will determine the degree of intelligence and the virtue of society at that time. All should j feel a great interest in seeing that this task is done. People are very watch ful of those they employ, in almost every other business, and frequently and carefully inspect their labor. But the common school, like a clock whose period may be weeks or months, is wound up by bringing the teacher, pupils and books together at the school house, and then letting it run as best :it may. There are exceptions, it is 1 true; but this is the fair general statei tuent of the case as regards the majority of communities. There are but very few, even of directors, who visit schools to see whether teachers are performing their duties properly, or j pupils are trying to learn and obey. In many schools, especially in thecountry districts, a visit by a citizen is an unusual event and rarely occurs. It is not possible that the absentee should know from the partial and imperfect reports of children, or from any hear say evidence, how they are progressing, how they conluet themselves, or how they are governed. When parents show so little interest, children and teachers cannot show so much interest as they otherwise would ; it is but natural that they should not If I parents do not care, why should they ? Thus they may sometimes reason—i faulty reasoning, it is true, —but we j must take poor human nature as we ! find it. We must not look for mature 1 judgment in childhood, nor for thirty lor forty dollars per month, expect of : teachers all the virtue 'hat adorn hu- • raanity. If we want to encourage them ’ ; we must do so by an occasional visit ) ■to their school room. If w wait our I teachers tc give dJigei.t application to j studies, and proper obedience to ruler we must show them that we feel in er- ; est enough in thejr vork to come and inspect ji sometimes. They will all h® stimulated and cheered in their lai bor by frequent visits. Let directors and parents, and especially those who so loudly deplore the inefficiency of our common school system, devote a I little time to these visitations in a proper spiiit, and thus diachirge their, duty, and they will ere long, be cheer- I ed by seeing more "live teachers" and I ■ better schools. But while we are say- ! 1 iug something to encourage tbe teach- : I ers, we should not forget, to encourage ■ j our worthy Supt. in his not. less uu- [ j thankful and arduous work. He is of- i I ten criticised and censured for not tul- ' filling his official duties, when in fact I |he is doit g his very best and much ; better than those very fault-fhiding I ones, were they in his place. He is I aouietin.es censured by teachers (only a . 1 few) for not granting a longer term of : 1 license Why, lam sure they have no 1 one to blame but themselves.’ Why ’ not go to work and improve yourselves b so that you can get a good license ? I , would much rather have a six mouths' j license and prove that I deserved it, 1 : and got it honestly, than to hold a two years license and not deserve. Persons holding two years’ license are ex--1 pected to know something and more ’ is expected from them than one holding but six months’ or a year. I don’t t believe our Supt. con'd be bought or 1 sold, and I fur her believe ths lit is - doing the very best he can. A string--3 er argument than aoy other in his favor 1 is the present condition of the schools. r they never were in a more prosperous 7 condition than at the present time. He has d‘>ne his best to secure the best , and ablest teachers in the county, . those who could uot stand an examins tion he didn ■ license, which is perfect-

ly right, and our trustees throughout the county should make a note of this ' and compare the schools to what they : have been in the past, and elect him I • for another term without one dissenting voiee.
