I Eggs are too scarce to quote price. E. Woods left for Cincinnati, Wednesday. The skating rink is being well patronised. Well dressed young men are numerous on our streets. Eleven stone street crossing* have been built lately. The board of Commissioner* are in J session this week. Pleasant Mills items were one day too late last week. Our educational column is among the things that were. John Shirey and Pat Burn* shipped a car lood of good horse* to«d*y. I. C. King took in Union City, Wednesday, and it* marriage dowry. Tim and John Coffe claim to have v the finest picket fence in the county. The Eldest son of E. Neaderhouser, B jr., of Buena Vista, died on the 6th, B of typhoid fever. The building of the Monroe street sewer makes a bad mesa of the roads on a portion of that street. I Pick Townsend is talking of re-build- :■* Ing the Burt House with brick, or at | least a portion of it, next spring. The marriage of Mr. J. W.Placete Miss Kate Niblock, appears els where. It it published at this late date by request. A. McCann bought of John Fonner, Monday last, a Poland China pig one | year old that weighed five hundred lbs. ' It was a beauty, if a pig ean be called beautifal. John McLeod has been appointed ; Deputy Sheriff in place of Joseph i Thomas, who resigned to take the place of Treasurer of the Original Birthday Association of this place. The Adams Express Company now R control and run their express on the I Pennsylvania railroad and leased lines, including the G. R. &I. They put their Messengers on the roads th* first of the week. Leander Dunbar, Commissioner of the Third District, is unable to be present at this term of Commissioner’s Court, in consequence of a cut injuring one of bis knees. It is feared the injury Will be serious. The School Trustees of Decatur met and issued an order with reference to vaccination in eonformity with the order of the State Board of Health, elsewhere published in this issue. It is a wise provision and will be strictly enforced. S. Ray William*, ex-editor of The Democrat, who recently bought the Tipton Timet, left Thursday to take charge of his new purchase. He has the ability, energy and force of character to make the Timet occupy a prominent position in the local politics of the state. The Democrat wishes him a successful career in bis new field of labor.

Among excitable people rutnori have been rife that there were one, two, three, etc. cases of small pox in town. The number was in proportion to the excitement of the excitables. But when they were called upon to locate them, it was impossible, bcosuse there were no cases in town Should there be any cases in town hereafter, Tui Democrat will give all particulars, and conceal nothing. This our readers may rely upon. The Fort Wayne Sunday Gault* notes twenty-three cases of small pox in the city. An employee of the new railroad named Boelinger called at Dr. M. Porter’s office Saturday, on his way to draw his pay. Feeling badly, the Dr. gave him his over-coat to lie down upon. In a short time after he commenced examining him and found him broken * out with the small pox. The Dr. had considerable difficulty in getting rid of his contagious patient. Wm, laughtnan presented a palition from the citissns of Blue Creek township, asking that the Board of CtßniwioMri t ike the proper steps to enable that township to vote upon the propriety of that township taking $4,000 stock to aid in the construction of the Fort Wayne end South Eastern R. R. on the condition that the road is located within one sixteenth of a mile of the village of Salem. Mr. BaughBen thinks that the townihip will vole in favor of the proportion, and there is no donbt but what the Board of CotamiMioners wiil give them the opportunity. Had the report of the Buena Vista graded school been received earlier in the week, it would have been published entire last week. THB Democrat suggests to teachers to drop the names of all scholars who have been tardy or absent during the month and not report them only in the totals and averages. Scholars naturally desire to see their names in the re- * ports. If it in ouee known that tardiness or absence will prevent them from appearing, it will reduce the cases of tardiness and absence to the 1 minimum.

The school boy who sits on a bent pin is like “truth crushed to earth." Mr*. Mary Jane Rawley, daughter, of ex-Cornmissioner, Josiah Crawfordis very low with consumption. J A. Springer & Co , of Berne name near burning out, Wednesday morning, by not having the floor beneath the stove protected The social of the Daughters of Rebecca at Odd Fellow's Hall, Wednesday evening was well attended and those present voted it a good time. This time one year ago, a considerable amount of ice had been peeked. Th* contrast in the weather, now and then, is remarkable. Some of our business men are gtowling. It is the way of the world, however. One of them was heard to say that hi* firm would do twice the business this year they did last. It is the kind of growling that is pleasant to hear, however. Last Wednesday eveaing Miss Etta Chubb, accidentally upset a can of kerosene oil on the floor, a candle sitting near by ignited the oil and in an instant the floor was in flames. Mis* Etta threw a blanket over the blase extinguishing it. Had it not been for her thoughtfulness the fire would have been beyond control in a short time. The Chronicle say* that one of th* Arnold's has sold 42,C00 yards of calico last year, and takes a gieat deal of comfort because Decatur doe* not run to calico. A statement like this would be amusing if it did aot contain so much very small boy. Otherwise the Chronicle has, unconsciously, perhaps, imported the Ohio ides and is grooming this Arnold with a view of ealieo Charley No. 2. It would be eruel to deprive these Bluffton fellows of their straws, while Decatur takes the e. 4 a. railroad, just as they write it over at Bluffton, when they wish to b* crushing. Personals. Miss Lisxie Sohirmeyer, is visiting friends at Portland. Dav* Spencer, of Fort Wayn*, was in town on Tuesday. Miss*. Minnie Orvis, has returned from her visit to Fort Wayne. Mr. and Mrs. John France, wer* visiting friends at Bluffton, last week, Levi Heller jr., of II artford town ship, buried his wife Wednesday last. Mia* Eva Blair, of Leedsville, Mich., is teaching room No. 4, in th* public schools.

Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Wicks, are visiting relatives in Chicago and other point* in Illinois. Miss Ellen Spencer, of Fort Wayne, and Miss Cory Spencer, of Burlington, lowa, spent Sunday with Flo Spencer, of this city. Miss Oli« Shorthill, who ha* been visiting Miss “Dem" Williams, returned home last week. Miss “Dem' 1 accompanying her as far as Kendallville. The C & aT r, R. Th«r* ha* been considerable grading don* on the Chicago and Atlantic R. R. through thi* county, especially on th* heaviest portion of the grad*. Laborer* are getting plantier and should the weather during the winter continue favorable most of the grading will b* completed by spring. The Huntington Democrat of last week says, that from that piae* to Chicago work is progressing, with a view of completing the grade as early a* possible a*xt season. The same may be said of that portion of the road east of us. Church Notes. There was no service at the M. E. Church last Sabbath. M. M. Gleason from some cause was unable to fill his appointment. Rev. C. A. Kanouse, of th* Preabyterian Church, preached his third anniversary sermon last Sabbath. In regard to the prosperity of the church he said that the attendance at the prayer meeting when he first came here averaged from five to ten. At present it averaged from forty to sixty, and had resulted in a marked improvement in th* spiritual atmosphere of th* church.

During his pastorate with few exceptions, the church had worked in unity and harmony. He remarked that there was nothing in the teaching of Christ indicating that he took back anything that he said, or made an apology, and left the impression that the church would be right in following his example, in this, as well as in othrespects. Thu Church Record. A printed card containing the following record of the church for 1881, was distributed among the congregation. Rev. C. A. Kanouse, Pastor; Elders, Bamuel Moses, Chas. Stewart, W. H. Schrock, M. D., and Edwin Moser; Trustees, D. 0. Jackson, 9. Moses and Geo. Patterson; Sunday School, Dr. W. H. Schrock, Superintendent, C. T. Dorwin, Asst.; Dick Dorwin, Secretary and Treasurer; five officers, twelve teachers, one hundred and fifteen scholars. Four members have been received, one by letter and three by profession. One member had deceased and nine had been dismissed. Forty hours devotion st the Catholic •burch thio wook.

Try Kendall’s Spavin Cure, a sure remedy for spavins, curbs, ringbones, , or any enlargement of the joints. Gentlemen whose beard are not of a pleasing shad* can remedy the defect by using Buckingham’s Dye for the Whiskers.

Why suffer such unspeakable tortures. Rheumatism has been conquered Kendall’s Spavin Cur* is th* Victor. See advt. Badly Bitten—Peter Kieffer, cor. Clinton and Bennett Streets, Buffalo, was badly bitten by a horse, and applied Thomas’ Eclectrio Oil, which immediately relieved the pain, and in four days the wound was healed. Sitting Up Nights.—Mrs. E. H. Perkins, Creek Center, N. Y., writes she had been troubled with asthma for four years. Had to sit up night after night with it, and was ultimately cured by two bottles of Thomas’ Eclectrio Oil. Popularity. —Thomas Eclectrio Oil has obtained great popularity, from its intrinsic value as a reliable medicine, in curing hoarseness, and all irritation* of the throat, disease of the chest, etc., For the** it is an incomparable pulmonic. Short breath.—O. Bortle, Manchester, N. Y., was troubled with asthma for eleven years. Had been obliged to set up sometimes for ten or twelve nights in succession. Found immediate relief in Thomas' Eclectrio Oil, and is now entirely cured. Live and let live.—Life is not always under our own control, but can be prolonged by care and prudence. Burdock Blood Bitters as a laxative, alterative, and diuretic medicine tend materially to restore health and lengthen our days. Price 11.00, trial sue 10 cent*. Mr. J. Marsh, Bank of Toronto, Ont., writes: “Billiousness and dyspepsia seem to have grown up with me; having been a sufferer far years, I have tried many remedies, but with no lasting result until I used your Burdock Blood Bitter*. They have been truly a blessing to me, and I cannot speak too highly of them.” Piice SI.OO, trial sixe 10 cents. Kendall's Spavin Cure is used from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. The New Home sewing machine is one of th* most perfect machines; it stands all tests, and ha* no superior. Those intending to buy a machine should call and see one before purchas. ing. Price with attachments S3O. ts Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 18, 1880. Dr. B. J. Kendall 4 Co.—Gents:— I have a very fine mare that haa had a bone spavin for a long time. I tried everything a man could devise to cure it, but all in vain, and was about to give it up when a friend of mine in thia city came to me and recommended Kendall's Spavin Cure, which I tried with grand resulta removing that bone clear and clean. Then I sent 25 cent* to you for one of your illustrated bora* book*, and I think there ie no better book printed on the horse and his diseas*. I have taken great interest in it, and have since sold eighteen copies for you to my neighbors, and will try and do what good I can by getting them for others. Yours truly, G. W. Millie.
