B Sheriff Krick has purchased the Robilßon lot ou Second street. Consider ation. SBSO. BNoah Mangold has bought Ansel Blossom's town property, paying $l,lOO for the same. A lire at Monroeville Monday morning destroyed about five thousand dollars worth of property. Had we given the Journal calf a little more rope on the card question he would have hung himself. Rev. Kan vi- his purchased a Newfoundland dog that looks as large as a Japanese elephant, almost. A cattle raiser of Kendallville shipped a heifer calf to Pensacola. Florida. It belongs to the Jersey breed. A general invitation is extended to all our citizens to attend the Catholic fair, commencing next Tuesday. That Cheyenne Indian it a fraud of laughing waters, but he had a good audience all the same. Strange, isn’t it ! J.i Bart Shirey sleighed down from Wayne last Sunday. He has quit the Gazette and now holds cases on the E Sintic I. 1 But one accident so far has occurred at the hall while skating. Miss Jessie Allison broke a bone in her right hand from a fall. The Hartford D7< 7/■-<«» savs Stanton is having some trouble with Ruffle, the fellow from whom he bought the MontEnterprise. R. 11. Weatner is publishing a real good paper at Butler. He is getting a good share of the Republican patron- ' age of DeKalb county. Remember the Catholic fair, which I commences next Tuesday evening. ; Grand eoncerts will add to the attractiveness of the occasion. Quarterly meeting at the M. E. , church Friday. Saturday and Sunday. ; Preaehing Friday at 7 p. m.. by k. B. Meredith, Presiding Elder. ; A tramp printer, failing to get employment at his trade, hired out as a I faun hand. One day he inquired of 1 the farmer if that hen should be “set ■olid."

DUIIU. Rev. Wilkins lias left no stone tin- ’ turned that would in any manner add to I the attractiveness and ultimate success of the Catholic fa*. Everybody is invited to attend and have a general good time. Several English sparrows were seen , around the court-house Tues-lay momfng. 4 s l ’ lat was , ' le ® rst till,e t ’ lc y had been seen for several weeks the question would naturally occur where have th iy been? The Bijou theatre at Kort \\ aync was parti..ily destroyed by fire, but the . heart of the average Decaturite will leap for joy when he learns that it will be rebuilt and ready for occupancy in two or three weeks. Thos. J- Shields has started a new »tirrup factory on the first floor of the building wherein he and Smith manufactured while in partnership. The new factory will be known as the Decatur Stirrup Works. — The pork packing establishment of 1* Vergusou & Co., at Inditutapolis, "■ v \ „ , Kv fire Tuesday was totally destroyer . . morning. Loss, $500,000 ; insured ioi $379,000. the insurance being distributed in fifty different companies, A desperate effort was made Monday morning by several prisoners to escape from the Allen county jail. Then pl.m Was to have cut the turnkey’s tbr-.-at, but through the timely presence of a hired girl their game was blocked. the /•/, <.•■/, a hading Democratic paper of the state, says that “prohibition is right and right is law. “Law is that which prescribes what is “right and prohibits what is wrong, and the Dispatch therefore favors a law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors. John Bremerkainp received a pair of silver bracelets from his brother Joe who is in Colorado. Joe purchased the bracelets from the belle of the I’tea for some medicine. The belle is the daughter of Chief Colorow, and is looked'upon with great adoration by the tribe. The narrow gauge road was formally opened to the public last Thursday morning and in consequence thereof B free ride was tendered a few individuals from Marion and intermediate points. The following named persons were invited from this point: G. (Christen. Tony Holthouse, Lou Confer John Welfley, Frank Meisse, D. M. Goodsell, ’Man Woods. Henry Bremerkamp, -Jesse Niblick. Dan Donovan and the editor of The Democrat. All improved the the exception the ia->t three. They will rethis. Thursday, evening,

We forestall comment by calling the attention of out Greenback cotemporay at Bluffton to the fact that our type of last week made us use two negatives that came as nearmakiog an affirmative as ever two negatives did. The blunder is found in a friendly retort and of < arse the intelligent compositor is responsible. Mr. August Krechter, teacher of our Catholic schools, tells us there are now eighty pupils under his charge, and the schools are prospering finely in spite of the inconvenient rooms. But the new building will soon be ready for occupancy and then the number of pupils will be increased to fully one hundred and twenty-five. After having nearly three months of almost uniterrupted sleighing we hear of many who will not be satisfied if the weather clerk should call a halt. But that goes on the same principle when the first hundred thousand is laid up there is no peace or happiness until it is doubled. The American people are noted for “wanting more.” Mr. F. J. Wendell, until recently business manager of the Fort Wayne Gazette, has purchased the Daily Herald, at Dayton, Ohi». Mr. Wendell is one of the most practical business men in the country, and we hesitate not in saying to the citizens of that beautiful city, Dayton, that he will publish a paper in every respect worthy of their liberal and undivided support. We wish Mr. Wendell success. The Journal has a column of shockingly bad grammar, rhetoric and orthography on the card question, but when the presumption that it was composed by “I,” “we” and “us” is seriously considered the fact becomes insurmountably apparent that the Journal is presided over by a brace of Johnny-jump-ups,—when one jumps the other follows suit. If shaken in a bag the chances run neck and neck as to which would crawl out first.

Honey dealers always want from five to ten cents more per pound for retailing honey put up in irregular shapes where it is necessary to cut into the honey, producing a waste or leakage. But all are willing to retail nice comb honey in Hill’s Section Boxes, at from one to two cents per pound, and the purchaser is willing to pay the price of the box in order to keep the honey in a neat shape. Boxes for sale by Terveer & Bowers.

The Johnny-jump-ups of the little Journal denounc i the saloon men and their business in unmeasured terms, and then sneak around to their places of business and offer to print their applications for license for two dollars, the same being fifty cents less than they charged heretofore. Since we have been in Decatur $2.50 has been the price, and that is cheaper than the papers in any other county in the State are publishing them for. However, the Journal is welcome to all it can get for two dollars—we have no use for them at that price. Fort Wayne is yet too small and too mossbackish to appreciate Kate Claxton’s talents. It was left for the dramatic critic of the Gazette to make the startling discovery that Kate is good in but one character, Louise in “Two Orphans.” We fancy what would be Kate’s feelings if that criticism should fall under her eyes. She would declare never again to appear before a New York audience, in “Double Marriage,” and receive most favorable notices from the Herald, Tribune and World. We are apprehensive that Kate has busted her rep by stopping in Fort Wayne. Public Sale.—From bills printed at this office we see that Henry Gebhart will sell off his stock, farming implements and tousehold goods on Friday, Feb. 18. at his farm residence four miles southeast of Decatur.

House Burned.—Last Friday morning the farm house of Mr. Daniel Yager, of St. Marys township, was burned to the ground. But very few of the contents were saved, the family not saving enough clothjng for a change. The fire originated from a defective ft-.ie.' Los,, ui hotua and content*, SSOO ; uninsuredThe Fair, anti We Shall Have. The Fair will open on Tuesday, Feb. 11th, and on the first evening the au- , dicnee will be entertained with vocal music of the choicest kind, rendered bv a select choir. Entrance fee for that evening will he 15cts. and for the ensuing eveni'-gs Diets, and the audience will be entertained by fine instrumental music. Each evening will be more interesting and pxpiting. Wednesday evening will be the closing vote for a silver cake basket to tlio most popular young lady of Adams county. ’ ovonina the closing vote 1 hursuaj - ° for a fine nickle-plated fish pole to the b.’st fisher of Adams county. Friday evening the eluaing vote for the grand, chandelier to the most popular dry giods store of Decatur. Saturday evening the closing vote for a $65 gold watch to the most popular hardware man in Decatur. On Saturday night the following gifts will be distributed In-lot, ladies gold watch, silver-plated caster, chromos, vases, etc., ail of which, except the in-lot, will be on exhibition every night of the fair, and will induce many seeing them to purchase a ticket, 'there will also be a beautiful wax wreath and cross, and many other articles too numerous to mention. Therefore come on the 15th of February. Rev. W. Theo. W. Communicated. Ed. Democrat The '.old home' was made to echo and resound with the I glad voices of ahildrcn and grandchildren on the sth inst., it being Mrs. Mary E. Aber's sixty-first birthday. A i table was set for twenty-eight persons, : and grandmother decided to be the 1 only waiter, a duty which she performed without apparent fatigue. After songs and instrumental music tokens of regard, such as reading-glasses, dress goods, handkerchiefs, gloves, work basket etc., etc., were presented by the children and friends aud thankfully received. sJuch feeling v®* manifest as a handsome present from an absent son was a surprise. The oeeasoi) was made : one of thanfulness to God for all his benefits and an invocation for His proI tection in the future.

ZDaisl'xsa. Rain. Business dull. Slush, mud and ice. Richmond lias a board of trade. The ice is passing down stream. Rob't Allison is on the sick list. The streets are full of back-water. David Eckrote was in town yesterday. Bet Toledo beer suffered yesterday. Many of the sewer grates are froze up. Timber mon are resting from their labors. What “liarers” they are, sayeth the Journal. Lay your skates away and get out your canoe. Stop at the Mayer House when in Fort M ayne. Rusticus sets ’em up in good shape from Geneva. Our telephone works charmingly. It is a great success. King could have sold twenty more sleighs but he didn’t have ’em. Willshire’s popular landlord, Mr. Foreman, was in town yesterday. Squire Bailey’s witnesses rest their weary bones upon the window sill while testifying. Decatur has six knights of the razor doing service from Monday morn till Saturday mid-night. Considerable dissatisfaction about the distribution of the excursion tickets over the Narrow Gauge. At last accounts the “curious” fellow of the Journal was begging for “license applications” at $1.50. Johnny Smith, Charles Ehinger and He ary Donovan spent Sabbath in Fort Wayne, visiting friends and relatives. Dal Trout at last saw how hopeless his chances were and has withdrawn from the race for the postmastership. Vale 1 The line shaft at the flax factory was broken in two yesterday morning which will cause a delay in running for several days. There is a misunderstanding perambulating between the trustees and pastor of the Presbyterian church. It seems to be all about an organ. Old Jack Studabaker don’t like the idea of Wells county having a new jail. Jack is bound to keep before the people. Hon. A. M. Martin’s term of office as reporter of the supreme court having expired he has returned to his home in Bluffton.

Mr. Host, of the Bowerstown, Ohio, Banner, returned to his home lagt Monday. He was not favorably impressed with our town. Thinks it too flat. Vordermark & Sons, of Fort Wayne, have some things to say in The Democrat. When in the city call and see them and you will be satisfied with their manner of dealing. Christie Stogdill was acquitted before Squire Bailey, which is as it should be. When young men don’t know how to behave themselves in church they should remain outside. The little Johnny-jump-ups of the nondescript across the way would have it appear that we are assisting Stanton in the card question. If they had as much brains as a katydid they would comprehend the fact that they are a brace of uneducated and illiterate donkeys. It requires a stuffed club to make them see a thing an inch from their noses. MAKRIKO. Fought —Flickinger.—On Thursday, February 3rd, 1881, at the residence of the bride's parents in Decatur, and by the Rev. J. B. Carns, Mr. W. 11. Fought, of Geneva, to Miss Bell Flickenger. The following is a partial list of presents received: Bible, bride’s father; table spread, bride’s mother ; chromo and pair of towls, Miss Kate Flickinger; majolica pitcher, glass fruit-dish and pickle caster, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hiet; napkins, Mr. and Mrs. Sprang; silver pickle caster, Miss Mary Hart; pair pictures and napkins, Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Dague; pictures and chromos, Mrs. Dr. and Bertha Holloway.
