The past week lias been one of discouragement to all kinds of business, Creeks and rivers have been running ft! wild, in d. v-y places carrying .ivstructI. ion wi ll thein. Trains on many railroads were either run on short time or abando d. Mails were irregular, and farmers vero unable to get to town. Many bridges were carried down streams and totally wrecked. At To-ledo,-Ohio, the damage done by water and ice is estimated at over a quarter of a million dollars. So far as we !i ive been able to ascertain the damage along the St. Marys is comparatively light, although the river was the highest it has been since the memorable freshet of 1868. No lives were lost on this river, but there were several very narrow escapes. On Friday Mr. Elijah Wallets was crossing the river on his & way home, and when a f.w rods east of the old bridge his liur.-cs stepped a ■ little too far to the north and in an instant horses, wagon ami ail were off the levee and in ten feet of water. Mr. K Walters jumped from the wag n wl, n the hind wheels and wagon box beea ue detached from the front trucks, and by a perfect herculean effort, swimming I against an almost irrisistible tide, he J. succeeded in grasping the cross-bar of | the front trujks and, the horses in the f meantime having gained foothold on B the levee, was m■racahntsly saved from a watery grave. The rear tri ks aid E box were earned l>y tl.- . .ii’.i-.it to tuc k north fen e where they 1> .1 <• d. bu on feg? Saturday morning G. ' ■ »■" its' tents were no where to be »"in, the K. waters baring risen -or p:d!;. dr. E the night that they u E stream where it is .••.ife to presame the K box was dashed to pieces. A horse E belonging to Dick Towm-eud came near ■E* drowning on Friday evening. Doubts less there were many narrow escapes I along the river. So far as we have been able to learn Ethe new bridges in the county are all ■ safe, but had the ice gone down as it K usually does on such" occasions the damage to bridges would be great. At Geneva the Limber Lost ami Wa■E.bash were higher than for years. The |®i bridge across the former gave way ,u.J K trams were unable to p; s. No mail Ejwas received on the G. R. roadbeiwe a KW idnesday and Monday of this week, EK but all trains are now running on sche- ■ dole time. The damage done by high water in I the north, ami the sufferings sustained &S through the same cause, arc insignifiLeaat when compared io what the p.o pic of Net Orleans uffcred. '1 u isBKtt&ds have seen their h cues swept away in a moment's w truing, and all of ;‘g their worldly possessions gone in a ■ingle day or night. Five square miles of the city was under from three to •even feet of water. Many lives were , Jost. It, is to be noped the like will not occur again.

There will be a joint institute at Decatur on Saturday, March 12, 1881, to which every township in the county . is expect' d to participate. Miss Ella Bowers, of this city, and l who has been staying with a sister in Fort Wayne since last fall, has returned to her old home in Decatur. J. C. F. Galbreath writes us to the effect that he has discovered a short rule for extracting the cube root of any i: uuber by simply one multiplication. The Bluffton Bunner has been greatly improved under Supt. Roth’s management. lie seems to take to the business as naturally as a duck does to > water. I The Catholic fair was largely attes tied on the opening and last night. Everyth: ’ is moving along nicely and with the prospects of a profitable oei casion. We have just received word that Bro. Marsh, of the Portland C"mmercinl, was seriously hurt on Tuesday night while engaged in sn altercation with one of his compositors. We are indebted to friend Confer for s- veral copies us Toledo papers, which contained accounts of the excursion. The excursionists were hospitably eared for by Toledoans.

A man by the name of Blane was kill', i on the B. & 0. railroad, near De fianc j, one week ago last Sunday, by an engine running into the rear car of , I hi- train. lie was not a regular train man, but was otherwise employed by the B. & 0. company at Garrett, and when commanded by Mr. Johnson, the , master mechanic, to go on this train, he sail he would prefer not to go, as he felt that if he went he never would • get back alive, but Mr. Johnson is one of those ‘ high-monkey-monks’’ whoso -; word is la.v, and go the fellow must. > l Mr. Blane went home U> prepare for • his trip, expressing his fears to his wife, who begged of him to remain at home.

We have received complaint of an - irregular delivery of The Democrat to its subscribers last week in various parts of the county. Bundles were •‘busted” wpen and many pipers were i lost. Those failing to get their papers j send word tu us aid of eoursi iiitim -.to that the paper was not sent out of this office Now, let us say at in e, and fur all time in future, that every person who is entitled to a paper has it sent to him or her regularly from this office. If thev fail to get it the blame cannot rest with us. One of Decatur’s trafficers is said to have done some business of a very crooked character in the south part of the county not long since, so crooked in fact that if properly investigated in the presence of twelve impartial men his chances for taking an excursion to Michigan City would be very good. It is also said the same fellow has “work ed' his crookedness for several years in ! this and adjoining counties and his nuI meruus victims arc on their ears. Our rural friends should treat them tho same as any foreign swindlers. A # controlling interest in the Dayton and South-eastern Railroad passed into the hands of the Toledo, Delphos and Burlington Railroad last Saturday This will lessen the probability of the Dayton and South-eastern being made a standard guage and taken into the scheme noted a few days since, of a through line of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Indiana, Bloomington and Western Roads, though that plan is still practicable by the Sciota Valley Railroad and Columbus, and the new line between Indianapolis and Columbus. — Enquirer. McCann purchased some cattle and hogs one day last week from the widow Zimmerman, instructing her to bring them in on Monday of this week. Saturday last was one of the stormyest days of the winter, but Mrs. Zimmerman drove the stuck in all the sama. When asked why this was thus sha replied that a young man by the name of Thomas told her to bring them in on that day as he (McCann) had sent word to that effect by the man Thomas. Mac was on his ear. He run the man Thomas down and gave him a regular Irish tongue lashing. He says he never saw Thomas to know him until Saturday and Thomas says that he (Mac) told him to tell Mrs. Zimmerman just what he did tell her. The Marion Democrat in speaking of business men of various towns says: “We know of no town whose business men have improved so much in the way of advertising within the past five years as have those of Marion. Five yea:; ago there were less than a half dozen firms in the city who advertised to exceed twenty-five dollars per year. Now a firm which expends less than $l5O in this direction is pronounced a mighty weak house, while a number of thnn annually devote from S3OO to S6OO and even SI,OOO per year to this puroose, and these live men do not hesitate to say that the money they spend for advertising is by all odds the most profitable investment they make during the year. If there are 'any who doubt the value of printer’s i ink, judiciously applied, let them go back five years, to the time when but little advertising was done and compare the amount of business transacted in Marion then with what is being done to day. Good "newsp pers liberally patronized by business men are the best recommendations that can be given a town.” At Cost. —Henry Winnes having sold his property on Second street is desirous of retiring from the boot and shoe business. He has considerable custom made work on hand and will close it out at actual cost for cash. This offer will be open for three weeks. Geneva Gleanings. BY RVS-TI-CCS. Items “skase.” The revival is in full blast. The cruiser has not been out of sight. Three or four of Mart Goff s family are sti.l sick. George Kelley has bought the prop- | erty owned by Dau Ferner. Mrs. Dr. J. B. Ward is still visiting i among relatives and friends at Greencastle, The straw stack fell on Marion Rynearsou’s bull and closed up his air pipe. Frank Dodge, who has been working at the Gazette office at Ft, Wayne is at home for a short stay. On Wednesday of last week Myer Beardslee fell and broke the small bone in bis leg, near the ankle. We learn to-day that Dr. Stick .is failing very fast, and that he is not long for this mundane sphere. • Uncle John Ashdill lefton the morning train Tuesday for New Vienna. 0.. ta see his son who is lying in a critical condition. About $5,000 worth of logs were brought to Geneva during the month of January, of which John Sheer received about two thousand. The trains to-day, Monday, for the first time since last week, run over rhe ■ Limber Lust bridge, also no mail mat- , ter was received or sent away in that time. Eli Christman,who lives about two miles west of town died very suddenly last Thursday from the effects of getting a couple of his ribs broke about two months ago. Mrs. Emma Winch, wife of 11, D. Winch, of the firm of Winch & Son, of this place, died on the 15th, at five o’clock a. in., after a brief illness of puerperal fever, aged 23 years, 11 months and fifteen days. At this writing it is not definitely settled as to when aud where she will be buried but it is thought it will be Thursday afternoon ut the Snow grave-yard, near Ceylon. She leaves a girl baby one week old. and a husband and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Town Property for Sale.
