The M. E. church fair all next week. Sheriff Krick hashed his hands full this week. A masque ball is talked of for New Year's eve. Candidates for county offices are becoming numerous. A large amount will be spent this year for holiday ‘ fixings.” Don't fail to see the ‘‘Santa Claus cantata to-morrow evening. The City Band has re-organized, and will furnish music next week for the fair. There will be a Sunday school concert in the Evangelical church, Sunday evening. Tom and Jerry are two bad fellows. They stick as close together as the Siameese twins. X The county paper is the cheapest thing a man buys. It is so cheap it is dear to do without it. » here is a large and increasing demand for all kinds of bard wood lumber and there seems to be a steady up ward tendency in price. Jacob Menser and his wife, of Union township, have had another ‘ trouble" which resulted in their dividing the walnuts between them.

Last Saturday, a package marked to contain $5,000, and directed to the Exchange Bank, Bluffton, was received by the United States Express company at the latter place, but too late to deliver to the bank. It was placed in the safe of Shepherd & Co. for safe keeping over night. On delivering it to the bank it was found to contain nothing but brown paper. Married, at the residence of the bride's father, in Willshire, Ohio, on the evening of December 14, 1881, by Rev. D,‘J. Schenck, Mr. Homer Stetler, of Pleasant Mills, Ind., and Miss Emily Carter. A liberal list of wedding presents were bestowed by the guests present, who thus gave substantial evidence of good will to the young couple. All present doubtless wished their pathway of life to be long and strewn with many roses. The next institute of Washington township will be held in the school house of district No. 4, January 14, 1882, with teachers on duty as follows: Anna C. Christen, reading; J. C. F. Galbreath, language lessons; F. M. Andrews, physiology; J. N. Parrish, arithmetic; Anna Fitzgerald, essay, subject, Poets of America; J, R. McConnehey, essay, subject, Pestalozzi— Life and Principles; Mattie Sewell, ichool government; W. H. McConnehey. orthography; Cal Kimble, keture, subject, Indiana. The county superintendent will be present, and a general good time is expected. The fourth institute programme will be used. Patrons are invited to be present.

Lydia Bollman, who has been under the care of Dr. Knowles, of Grand Rapids, Mich., for the past five months, returned home, Tuesday. Her case is a remarkable one, being a spinal trouble which has made her practicably helpless and bed-ridden for a long time. She was unable to take a single step for five years and seven months. Some time since, she heard of Dr. Knowles, and on the 11th of July last went to Grand Rapids, and put herself under his care. She was unable to secure quiet lodgings and labored under various disadvantages, but under his treatment she has improved in weight, and physical condition, and is now able to walk across her ”oom without assist ance. On her return to her home, Tuesday, there was great rejoicing over her improvement, which seems almost miraculous. The doctor is quite confident of her complete recovery. The Journal last week reflected somewhat upon the Board of Trustees for not enforcing the ordinance against prostitution. The Democrat does not give the Journal credit for good motives in casting the reflections it does. They were inspired by the same principle that boys would throw a club into a pool, just to see how big a commotion they could make.Thc Journal has thrown a club intending to carry to the minds of its readers, this: You see what those fellows are doing; you see what I would do were I in their place. Laws are not self enforcing, neither is the Board of Trustees a police court, or smelling committee. But, if the editor of the Journal, or any other citizen, has any personal knowledge of violations of law, they are respectfully referred to the town attorney, who is also the circuit prosecutor. If they have such knowledge and withhold it from the proper authorities, they are the parties upon whom reflections, such as the Journal made last week, should be cast.

Geneva has been well represented in Decatur this week. I’he public school closes to-day for a vacation, holiday week. The Democrat wishes a “Merry Christmas’’ to its many patrons, with all that is implied. Master Fred Metts will sxhibit his live alligator sent to him from Florida, at the fair next week. Three days of steady rain has made an overflowing river, with good prospects of unpleasant weather for Merry Christmas. The children of Mrs M. Bremerkamp gave her a surprise on the occasion of her fifty-ninth birthday, which occurred last Sabbath. The Fort Wayne Sentinel gives an incorrect version of the arrest of the Plymouth robbers. A correct statement appears elsewhere in this paper. P. C. Clever, superintendent of McKendry & Co s shops at this place, left for Buffalo, N. Y., to-day to visit his old home and friends during the holidays. Trade at home. So says The Democrat, and by leaving your orders for printing at this office it will be done at home, instead of being sent away, as a. considerable portion is when given to the Journal. A. McCann claims that JRoot township is the banner township for hogs this year. He had the best lot of hogs in the stockyard, from that township this week, that have been shipped from Decatur this season. Interviewing circular saws at the expense of a portion of the hand of interviewers is a very common occurrence. Experience is a good teacher, but it will not do too learn to much of a circular saw when in motion.

The wife of H. D. Filling, of Root township, died Monday. The companion who assisted him in building a o home in the wilderness, who was a mother in the widest acceptation of the term, has passed away. To him it is an irreparable loss. Joe Foreman, of Blue Creek township, was in town this week to purchase lumber. In going through the lumber yard he lost his pocketbook, containing SBOO.OO. He did not discover bis loss until he had returned home, and on returning here, found his pocketbook ail right, much to his relief. There was a quiet wedding at the residence of D. O. Jackson last night. His oldest «on, Oliver Jackson, was married to Miss Laura Bowers, of Kirkland township. Rev.C. A. Kanouse officiated. They left on the evening train for Reading, Pa. They have the congratulations of The Democrat. Several boys who attended the Pres’byterian church, Sunday night, made themselves conspicuous by disturbing the congregation. Their names are withheld this time out of consideration to their parents. Should the offense be repeated, however, they shall be named right out. One warning is sufficient. The M. E. church was lit up with gas Thursday night. The first experiment was not satisfactory, the light was too dim. As there was no one present who understood the workings of the machine, it is supposed the defect was caused by not being properly handled, rather than any defect in the gas machine and fixtures. There is a rumor in town that Dr. C. A. Jelleff, who left, last week, with his chum, Frank Crawford, ostensibly for Kansas, was married to a Miss Anna Wells, of Duquoin, 111., on Sunday last. The rumor was strong enough for the boys of The Democrat office to smoke and empty a bottle of chain pagne on. Aside from this, the wedding has to us a hazy appearance.

The cantata of ‘‘Santa Claus” which the children of the M. E. Sabbath school have been practicing upon, will be rendered Christmas Eve. at the M. E. chuich. The entertainment promises to be a pleasant and appropriate one for the season; just such as the littl» folks and their elders will enjoy. Price of admission for adults, Isc; those under fifteen, not members of the school, 10c. The proceeds to be used for the benefit of the school. The Journal some short time since, boasted of publishing a “Manual of the Public Schools,” for Superintendent Lucky, and of its being the best job of printing ever done in the county. It is true the Manual contains the imprint of the Journal office, but when they claim the job was done in the Journal office, that is untrue. The only thing about it that bears the ear marks of the Journal is, that in a glance through the pamphlet we noticed five typographical errors on page eleven. Sometime since The Democrat contained a sketch of the mishap of Harry Hart in the mountains near Leadville, Colorado, last August, and his falling down a deep canyon during a snow storm, lying at the bottom nearly for-ty-eight hours and his final rescue by his comrade. Some of our readers thought the story was impossible, but it was only too true. The last intelligence Mrs. Hart received from Harry was on the 9th instant. He was then able to walk across his room, and will probably be able to be around again, though he will earry the effects of his fall and exposure through life.

i IMPORTANT ARREST. Sheriff Krick Ar rest h two men for a Highway Robbery and Probably Murder at Plymouth, End. The sheriff had a regular circus at his office Tuesday. During the day probably several hundred people visited his office. Their object was to see James ’Campbell and John Lake, whom the sheriff had arrested for knocking down and robbing a man near Plymouth, Indiana, Monday night. Their victim is reported seriously injured by these knights of the road. The arrest came about in this manner. The sheriff had been to Fort Wayne for the purpo-e of bringing up Joel Weaver to receive his sentence. He was accompanied to Adams station by Chief of Police Smith, of Fort Wayne, who was looking for the rascals. They had passed through Fort Wayne, going east, very early in the morning, and he expected they would take the train at Adams, but was disappointed and left the train at that point, giving the sheriff a discription of the men. Some two miles north of Hoagland the train passed two men who filled the description of those wanted at Plymouth. On arriving at Hoagland he turned Weaver over to W. P. Ettinger, of Berne, instructing him to turn him over to his subordinates on arriving at Decatur, and left the train. Informing the section hands of what was up, he was soon on the back track with a hand car. They ran down to within a short distance of the men, stopped and made a pretence of work until the men came up, when they were arrested. He returned to Hoagland with his prisoners in lime for the morning freight and brought them to this place to be held for identification. An exchange of ■ telegrams between the authorities of Marshall county and himself convinced him he had the right men. Tuesday evening they were sent to Fort Wayne. Wednesday they were taken to Plymouth and delivered to the sheriff of Marshall county. The man they robbed is not seriously injured.

Trial oi Joel Weaver. Joel Weaver was tried last Saturday before Judge Bobo, found guilty and sent to the penitentiary for two years. He has been a resident of Wabash township for some five years, and at the time he committed the crime for which he was convicted, lived some three miles east of Geneva. He has a wife and six children. He had, so far as we know, up to the time of this crime borne a good character; the worst that could he said of him he was addicted to strong drink On the 9th of August, Reuben Baker, who had just received about SIOO, came to Geneva and fell in with Weaver and Sharpe. They had a merry night of it, drinking and carousing, and in the morning his money was gone. His companions were arrested and money found upon their persons. Sharpe could not account for the amount in his possession, but Weaver did for a portion of his. At the September term of the circuit court, Sharpe plead guilty, and was sent up for eighteen months. Weav< r’s case being continued until the present term His accomplice, Sharpe, was brought from the penitentiary as a witness. He testified that Weaver divided the money taken from Baker, with him the next morning. The facts and circum stances of their spree together and the incidents connected therewith, were also proven in the trial, together with the identification of a portion of the money, made a chain of circumstances too strong for the defence to overcome, notwithstanding the denial of Weaver who took the witness stand in his own behalf. The Judge, doubtless, made his sentence only two years, in consequence of his previous character and the large family of little ones he leaves behind.

The T., D. and B. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. Toledo, 0., Dec. 14.—The GlobeDemocrat, of the 12th inst., contains a dispatch from this place which does the T., D. & B. railroad company great injustice. It bears internal evidence of having been inspired by an enemy of the company. It is not true that the company is financially embarrassed, j or that the capitalists have lost faith , in the narrow-gauge system, or that the work of construction has ceased. On the contrary the work is being pushed with all possible vigor. Ou the St. Louis extension, which the dispatch referred to states has been abandoned, the contractors are working with energy, and the company is paying out at the rate of $250,00 a month on construction account for work doae on that division. The company has on the ground all the iron and ties required for the completion of that division of the road. The suggestion that Mr. Vanderbilt has designs upon the road must have originated in the imagination of th writer of the dispatch. School Report.
