"No, I thank you ; I prefer to remain in my dug-out for six more weeks, where, undisturbed and happy, . I feel js- l? .- m Ohio man. Ths one particular thing that attracts the attentton of < nr fun-loving Citizi us ai present is the roller skating scho' l at Kovirs hall. We haven t the •pne< this week to fittingly describe the sidj-splitting scenes that greet the spectator. Last Monday night, disagreeable «; it was, some clothes-line thieves stole clothes from Mrs Hart. Mr. Fitzgerald and Rev. Kanouse. We learn those union from Rev. Kanouse's beIcssg t; th.: Mi.;:. : Nordyka aad Ballard. So far there is no clue to the thieves. Already the legislature shows signs of weakening on the temperance question. The Republican party makes great pretensions of being the sober man's pirty, but when they have an oppo tuuity to prove it they skulk like a she, p-killing dog. If the present legislature of Indiana fails to pass a >tri»gca; liqaoi law the Republican party leaders must hereafter remain anil -, on the temperance question. We received a very friendly call yesterday from Albert Knavel, who was the subject of the Root township tronl'l >, an amount of which appeared in this paper sone weeks since. Mr. K. is a very agreeable person, pleasant and Sociable, and took occasion to assure us that the loss of one fair dathsel was not so much of a dam sal as some people would like to have it appear.

There is a doctor residing at. Monroe, this county, who, if reports be true, is a brute in human form. His conduct toward his wife and children is said to be so brutal and fiendish that they have left through fear of losing their lives. A visit by Judge Lynch would deservedly rid that community of his miserable existence. A report er of Tun Democrat is investigating his ease, and in due time he will be thoroughly ventilated through our columns.

Hill’s Bee Hives are built on scientific principles. They are of proper proportion, and in shape they are adapted to the natural tendency of bees, ’’’heir construction is such as to make them durable to stand the weather and sun without drawing apart or warping. The honey boxes have the combined strength of seven sections, while tho glass and wooden ends prevent them from getting out of shape, as is the case with other sections. Call and see them at Terveer & Bowers. A young man by the name of Thomas. of Kirkland towtship, is causing much unnecessary trouble. Not long since he went to church, seated himself on the ladies’ side, which was contrary to the rules of the church. Christie Stogdill was ordered by Esquire Bell to remove the young man, which he did, holding him in custody about an hour, we believe. Thomas in return had Stogdill arrested and the case is being tried before Esquire Bailey, of Decatur. At this writing, Wednesday a. in., the attorneys are arguing the case. Don’t forget that “Madame Jarley" will have her wonderful and costly collection of “Wax Works" on exhibition at Krick's hall next Thursday and Friday evenings, Feb. 10 and 11. Among this curious collection will appear the Chin-se Giant, Wonderful two-headed girl, S’ames twins, Babe in the woods, Little 80-peep, Old-fash.oned sewing machine, Cleopatra, Sleeping beauty, Columbus and many other noted historians and discoverers. Come one, come all, and gaze with rapture upon these beautiful life-like figurss. Will be given by the Y.P. S. of the Presbyterian church. Admission for adults, 25cts. children 15 cts. The motion fur a new trial in the Baxter case was promptly overruled by the court and on Friday evening sentence was pronounced. He was taken to Michigan City where he will remain for the next two years. The fate of James Baxter should be a terrible warning against the use of strong drink. He is naw in the prime of life. Stout,healthy, and of an industrious disposition, but two years of his life must be spent within the loathsome walls of a prison. This is all brought upon him through the devilish influence of strong drink. Had James Baxter been sober on the night of December 11th he would not now be where he is, for when sober he attended to his own business in a quiet lawful manner. No man who has children can help sympathising with the unfortunate condition of Gov. Scott, of Napoleon, Ohio, who is now in jail for the shooting of a young man of that place. Goaded almost to desperation from the fact that his boy was drunk and spirited away into a private room, and that when be applied for admission to see his boy, and was refused, his excitement knew no bounds, and he drew a pistol from his pocket and shot the man who was trying to prevent him from obtaining possession of his child. The mother had called the father up to g.i and hunt her boy ; and while the shootinu is t> be condemr.ed and the carrying of revolvers denounced, yet the father is entitled to much sympathy for 1: unfortunate situation. — Kendall till?

The editor of the Journal, the same being a doctor who enjoys a large (?) and lucrative practice, went crazy over a report that Andrew (ray. a well-to-do farmer of St. Mary’s township,, had threatened the lives of his wife i and He used about atL the black letter in his araiueur office for startling I headlines and then followed with a col - i umn or m >re of miserab’y mixed up ; trash, scarcely one sentence of which ! bore even the semblance of truth. The whole affair was nothing but a little domestic difficulty, family quarrel as it were, and the son, wishing to be cute, filed an affidavit against the father, charging him with assault with intent to kill. Mr. Gay waived examination and wi i have a hearing in the circuit eou.t. He will probably pay what costs there are and that will end the, Journal's murder story. Dal's as luny, on the <iav as the (inmortal J. N. is on the truth question. The fuel question is one of a good deal of importance not only to our village p-oplc bnt also to farmers. A majority of customers regard hickory, beach and unple QS the best for heating p . rpnses, but maple though it burns readily, is not nearly as good as oak. A cord of good seasoned white oak will make more than a cord and a third of maple. In any event it is a convenience tn know the comparative value of the different kinds of wood for fuel, and he Minneapolis Tribune publishes the following, ukingshell bark hickory as the highest standard : Shoilbark hickory 100 Pignut hickory6s Beech 90 White oak 84 Dogwood .. . 77 Scrub oak 74 Red oak 69 Birch 62 Yellow oak 60 Hard maple White elm Red cedar ... . 56 Yellow pine >4 Butternut White birch • 44 White pine 40 ♦

Dissolution. —The firm of Shadds & Smith, stirrup maniii'.i -Hirers, mutually dissolved partnership last week, Mr. Shields retiring. Lewis Waggoner, Esq, has now purchased a half interest, and hereafter the firm will be known as Smith & Waggoner. Success to the firm. Roller Skating.—Mr. John Richey, of Portland, is conducting a roller skating school at Rover’s Hail, where lie respectfully invites the public to call and see and learn. Skating is one of the best exercises of a physical character known, and ladies ean find no more pleasant pastime than practicing on skates. The price of admission is ten cents and the price for the use of skates is ten cents per hour. No rowdyism or immoral conduct allowed in the room at all. Goto-night and enjoy yourself. Connected—The Democrat office and the auditor’s office are now connected by one of Halcomb’s Automatic Telephones, and it affords us pleasure to say that it works perfect. The least whisper at, one end can be distinctly beard at the other, and those of our citizens and patrons who wish to see it, and hear it, Are perfectly welcome to coaie. Several of our citizens are already talking of sending for instruments for use frem their places of business to their residences. Alex Bell will soon be connected with the Burt house, and R. S. Peterson will probably connect his residence and office by telephone, and it is quite probable the depots and business portion of the town will soon be connected. The telephone is cheap in price, and of incalcuable convenience.
