-—The Legislature is still whitling ft way, —The army of the Tennessee held a re-union at Cincinnati this week. —Vennor says we may look for occasional snow storms until the 25th inst, —The Mormons are becoming alarmed at the President’s declaration effecting their interest. —Carter Harbison was re-elected mayor of Chicago last Tuesday by the Democrat’s. His majority is over 7000. —The United Sta’es senate is still at a dead-lock. No business is being done and what is more, no prospects of any being dene soon. —At the local elections held on Monday and Tuesday the Democrats were generally successful, making in some places very large gains. —The greenback papers of Ohio have about run out, there being but nine remaining in the entire state. Another year will, doubtless, witness the suspension of those. —Business of all kinds throughout the country is almost at a stand-still. In the rural districts the roads are in a bad condition and the heavy snows render the preparing of ground for spring crops impossible. -»-» ♦ —The bill to submit the question of prohibition to the voters of Indiana has passed the lower house and been reported on favorably by the senate committee. But should the bill pass the senate it will be a long time before the people will have a chance to vote on it. —The Ft. Wayne Aews gets furious 1 because the country press is s'ow about telling the people that there arc no cases of small-pox in that city. Consid- ‘ ering the fact that the little Yeics was first to start the small-pox scare its ' complaint against the country press ' comes with adamantine cheek and un- * paralleled impudence.

—We care not who gets the insurance advertising, but at the same time we must confess that the good Indianapolis Sentinel's self defense is the “gauziest" pieoe yet published. The object of the semi-annual publication of ‘ insurance statements "is to inform policy holders as to the standing of the companies wherein they have paid their money, and that being the fact is it not right and proper that the companies as well as the patrons should have the benefit of as large a circulation as it is possible to get ? It is villainous as well as disgusting imbecility to proclaim that even one-third of the policy holders of the state ever see a sworn statement of the condition of the companies wherein they are insured, and unless the Journal and Sentinel, the i, no ‘‘leading dailies” of the state, have more influence with the legislature than we believe they have the donkeys may muster up enough horse sense to repeal the obnoxious law.

Geneva Gleanings. *¥ HL'B-Tl-Crs. During the whole forenoon on Saturday the mill bands were greatly alarmed at the singular conduct of Sam Gallaway, the head sawyer, who would about every five minutes leave his post no matter where the log carriage was or what kind of a shape the saw was in, and run to the end of the mill, and look with a long wishlook toward his house. And his countenance plainly showed that he was undergoing some terrible mental excitement. But what made the boys more uneasy was that Sam was eontiuually talking to himself and all that, they could catch of his talk was “papa, papa, papa: so long, so long, so long; for Io: these seven long years I labored, but thank God not in vain at last, at last, at last; the sunshine has bursted forth, and shines brilliantly, within my domestic circle, upon a little jewel which He has sent me,” suddenly he raises his hand to his forhead and exclaims. “Is this a dream, no. no; it cannot be for Doc Ralston told me it was a nine pound girl, and I am happy in the—in the—well, I am at last a papa, and there is no getting around it, for it looks just like its papa, Edacatlona I. April Ist, 1881. was the closing day of the school taught by W. 11. McCounehey, district No. 5. Washington township. On account of the depth of the snow at the time many of the patrons of the school were not present. The proceedings during the forepart of the , <i»y consisted of exercises by the school. Geography was made a specialty, the pupils writing upon the blackboard the names and locating many of the most prominent rivers, lakes, seas, oceans, bays, mountains, Ac., situated iu North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa, with the correctness seldom attained by schools claiming much higher attainments. After partaking of a sumptuous dinnej. prepared by patr ons and P u P ils of the district, the school was called to order The afternoon exercises consisted of dialogues, speaehes and v.ueal music, which was participated a? by P a ‘ r< ’ n »- pupils and teacher, alter which a>l parted in the best of feeling. r A PaTßox.

A Word from Luckey. Mb. Editor: Tn regard to an article which appeared in last week's issue of The Democrat I should have said nothing were it not for the earnest request of some of my friends. The author, S. C. M., laboring at present under the disappointment of a failure, has certainly enough trouble without my adding more. I have long since , learned that to be in public life and do . duty without making enemies is beyond 1 the possibilities. I would gladly please ’ all, but my motto is: “Better make enemies by doing right than friends , by doing wrong.” In this life di.tap- ' pointment seems lurking on every side, not for the few, but for all. To-day all is bright, to-morrow all is gloom. Just when life seems the sweetest may we look for the deepest sorrow, yet he who calmly and faithfully bears all will be triumphant. We were sorry that we were ever obliged to ask to see Mr. Mills’ license, but not being recorded iu the records of the office it became our duty under the law to make such inquiry. He was asked privily, but through his excitement attracted the attention of a few others. * In regard to his (Mills’) failure, we were, perhaps, more disappointed than Mr. Mills, yet duty is duty, and all should be used alike. We are perfectly willing, with Mr. Mills’ permission, to publish the questions and his answers and allow the people to judge for themselves. I have said more than I intended, but hope that nothing I have said will ever injure the success of Mr. Mills. As far as acquainted I think he is a gentleman and honest in his opinions and work. Since I have been superintendent I have tried to do all I could to advance the interest of education in its truest sense; with what success I have met others must judge. G. W. A.
