For New Years cards call at Thk Democrat office. We have a fine assortment of beautiful designs. Those wishing semething nice will do well to call at this office to-morrow (Saturday). The Miesse bouse has been crowded with guests all week. Dr. C. A. Jelleff's wedding, was one of Frank Crawfords' jokes. Meyer and Brother’s woolen factory shut down for the holidays. Roads are almost impassible and trade is dull in consequence. The grass was greener at Christmas than during the drouth in August. Rev. M. S Metts was called to Portland last week to solemnise a marriage. Several young people from Decatur attended the ball at Van Wert, Wednesday evening. We understand that some of the young ladies of Decatur will keep open houses next Monday. MeKendryand Company’s slack barrel and heading factory shut down last week fora two week's holiday vacation. Henry Merryman, ex-postmaster of Monroe, died Tuesday of consumption. He had been affected a considerable time. Weber 4 Hyman on Msnroe and Third streets are selling meat one cent cheaper per pound than at any other market in Decatur. Something to the most popular insurance man, taking in marriage dowry associations et al, would be the thing at the fair. The M. E. Sabbath sahool concert netted $35.72 to the school. The load of debt was removed leaving a surplus in the treasury. If it were not for the large amount of eoal used in town for fuel, there would be a wood famine, in consequence of the almost unfathomable mud. Auditor Christen boasts of having been presented by his wife with the finest Christmas present of any one in town; an heir, a son, a Democrat. The person who borrowed an umbrella marked J. M in white paint, with one rib mended with brass, will please return to J. M'Gonagle, the owner. <

The Fort Wayne papers state that that the spall ppx has peached Decatur, As that town has been threatening to quarantine against Fort Wayne, the question arises, ought not Bluffton to quarantine against Decatur? It is best to use every precaution to preTent the disease from reaching our city.— Bluffton Chronicle. Decatur has not threatened to quar antine against Fort Wayne. The editor pf thp Journal is the only one in De paturwho is engaged in the quarantine business. The paragraph of the Chron ide was, in the estimation of Tux Democrat, written with the basest of motives, simply to get the idea abroad that we have the small pox, that Bluffton might make a nickle through the false information.

M4IKILEO 111 4 LOCOMOTIVE Theodore Siuhli Instantly Hilled on tbe Toledo, Delphos ami Burlington 11. It. About two years ago Theodore Smith, moved with his family from Tiffin, 0., to this county, settling near the County Infirmary. He was a man of excellent habits, industrious, honest, upright in all his ways. The only thing that could be said against him was that, he occasionally took a dram, but was never so far as we knew, intoxicated. He was in town yesterday and was last seen alive about nine o’clock Wednesday evening. Thursday morning his remains were discovered by the saction men about one mile and ahalf east of town, south of Borum run bridge, on the T., D. 4 B. railroad. His body was crushed and mangled in the most horrible manner, literally torn to pieces, head severed from his body, and his remains scattered along the track for a space of sixty yards. He was killed by the east bound freight, between twelve and one o'clock. The coroner was summoned, an inquest held, but nothing elicited other than as given above.

The deceased had evidently drank a glass to much, and laid himself down upon the track to be ins'antly killed. This, we judge, from the fact that he told an acquaintance, Wednesday, that he was on a spree the day before and did not know how he got home. He was seen in Barthel's saloon about nine o’clock, and judging from his statements of the day before, and his surroundings Wednesday, he undoubtedly was more or less intoxicated. If there ever was a case of the model moderate drinker, Theodore Smith was one of them. We presume, summon the entire eommunity, no cne could testify they ever saw him intoxicated. His own admission, however, disprove the honest testimony of those who knew him. The other fact of his horrible death, and the only reasonable cause that can be assigned is as we have given. The most moderate use of alcoholic drink is fraught with danger to everyone who indulges. Touch not, taste not, handle not, and it will do you no harm.

Some of our young and middle aged men took a little too much Christmas in theire last Saturday. If they knew how foolish they looked and acted they would not celebrate that way again. The defunct Decatur City band is again redivivious. That is, enough to play at the M. E. church fair this week. Whether its life will be further prolonged Tin Democrat cannot authoritative ly say.

Jacob Msnser, of Union towqsbip, | who has been subject to epileptic fits : for a considerable time, and who reoently separated from his wife, crea- ! ted considerable excitement in town Tuesday. He had another attack of fits, falling several times in the streets On recovering he went to the river with the avoued purpose nf drowning hinteelf, bqt wat «R a Uy Induced to postpone the affair, for the present at least. His mind is evidently impaired, and it would not surprise us to learn ' that he had been su ccesaful in taking ' his life, I The Defiance (Q.j Democrat says 1 twenty-six pi-tols were found on the persons of school children at that place. I'fee Mercer County fftaniianl Iqinks an examination of the school ’ children of Celina, would reveal a larger number. The truth is that car- ' rying pistols is quite too common among the young men of this country, 1 and it is confined to no particular locality. It is a bad habit and should be frowned upon. It affords cranks and passionate young men aq opp rtunity jo take life in the settling of trivial disputes, that otherwise would have '■ ended with a few hot words. It is a ' disgrace to our civilisation; it h is filled I i many homes with mourning, and • brought many a young man, whose life ? otherwise would have been useful, tc a i bad ending.

Christmas at the Miesse House. Christmas was royally celebrated at the Miesse House. Saturday evening the parlors were all brilliantly lighted and the passers by gazed upon the splendid appearance of the house with wonder. It was Christmas Eve, and the young folks of the family were eager with the excitement the occasion held in store for them. The host had prepared a beautiful tree, handsomely ornamented and illuminated, which was laden with fine and costly presents for all the household. At the proper moment doors to this particular room were thrown open, and Mr Miesse, followed by his family, entered the room, to enjoy the many pleasant surprises iu store for them. There was something for all, no one had been forgotten—not even the servants, each one of whom had been thought of and received tokens of regard from their employer and many very handsome presents from the guests. Everyone enjoyed themselves on this occasion, and ‘all went merry as a marriage bell.” The genial proprietor, equal to the occasion, had a rare treat in store for his many guests the next day, in the way of a Christmas dinner, which was gotten up in grand style, as only I. “Jolly”’ Miesse knows how to do. Tie following is the

The fair opened Monday night with a good attendance. The building had been arranged so as to best display the I articles for sale, and to accomodate the crowd with refreshments. The north wing was used for dining purposes and was handy and convenient to the faitpeople and their customers. Between the main building and the north wing: there was a table where was displayed an infinite variety of fancy articles, | presided overby cunning vendors who were always ready to coax the price out. of a customers pocket. On the west side were tables with all kinds of fancy work. On the east side of the building is a black board whereon is indicated the poling as it stands from time to time. The main audience room is thus left clear as a promenade to the patrons. In t e extreme north i end of the building is a small room called the “Curiosity Shop,’ containing Fred Metts alligator, a great variety of Indian relies, kindly loaned byDr. Arthur, of Portland, besides various unique geological specimens, rare old china, two old bibles, besides! various other rare and curious things. This part of the fair does not receive ■ half the attention it deserves. Monday night a fine bridle presented by Millen Burns, was voted to the most popular livery man. Alex Bell carried off the prize. ‘ The Tennesseeans” are a feature of of thp fair, Wednesday night the Young family, colored, of M illshire, j volunteered a few pieces of camp meeting melodies.

Total Shipment For 1881. Decatur is undoubtedly the best horse market in the State. Our horse buyers are always ready to lay down the full value of a horse in cash at ' all time ,to all who come. The result is that horses have been brought to this market from a long distance to secure the advantages that this market affords. To show that we speak b the card we called upon our horse merchants for a statement of the number shipped during 1881. Messrs Railing & Rice have shipped I 4 Eleven hundred head and Messrs I Smith & Longenburger have shipped Eight hundred, making a total id , Nineteen hundred shipped from this place during the year. t Our horsemen deserve credit for the energy and n< rve they have displayed in managing this business, and pushing e it forward until it has assumed the magnitude it has, and Thi: Democrat isalways ready to bear witness to sueh efforts, as reflect to ’ the credit and business sagacity of our citizens.

A Bi tter Proof Sheet. . Before another number of this paper is issued, 1881 will lie behind us, and we will have entered upon the year 1 of grace 1882. “Peace on earth, good will to men” is the benediction of Christmas. As we stand on the boundary line of time, which divides the yeais, ho* natural to retrospect, then to turn and look forward. At such times the human mind deals honestly with itself We look back and mark the crooked path wc have come. We look forward to correct the deviations of the past; and mark a less devious course for the future. Wc wonder at the mutationsand vicissitudes of life as they lie mapped before us. We look back the way wc came until we reach the horizon of intellectual life, the . boundary line of accountability. Mis- , tak- s, follies, and sins, of avarice self- i fishness, passion, appetite and lust ali | have monuments along that ever devi- ; ous way. They are for us, and for us alone. Many of them are invisible ; to mortal sight. They are the truth-; ful recod between God and ourselves. It is well to balance the books each year, that we may known where we stand. So in our moral accountability, our inward life, it is well to close the books and begin new. It is well to go back to the beginning of our accounta bility and range through to the present. We can then see clearly how much, how far we are out of lino; to take into account what force carried us to the right here, and to the left there, and thus -et our stake.-, aright for the future. . The worst of men are not all wrong, thebestare not all right. Man is a poor erring creative at best; in his worst estate, let us close our eyes and veil from our sight his infirmities, unless to point to others the tortuous road he came that others may avoid his mistakes and failures. God alone can judge him aright. , With these reflections in view, let us . begin the new year with another trial, , with the determination not to relax our discipline, that we may walk nearer to the ideal line of right, that each and ■ every one lays down as a law unto him , self, then we otherwise could. We < will thus as the years go by, be richer 1 in experience stronger in character, broader in our charity, more just in our 1 resentments and with malice toward ' none, we will have less to regret when the final scene of life draws io a close.

How He Shocked His Dear < >l<l Grant! mother in Reading a Recipe, Old Mrs. Jones borrowed Mrs. Brown's recipe for making watermelon pickle the other day, and, being hard of nearing, as she couldn’t see to read very well, she got her grandson Jakie to read it for her. Jakie to«k the paper like a dutiful child, and, holding it upside down, commenced: “Take a green watermelon—’’ “Why, Jakie, ain’t you mistaken? I thought the melon must lie ripe.” “Oh, what’s the matter wid yew! Gew ever see a watermelon that wasn’t green ?” “Cut the watermelon into four halves—’ “But there ain't only two halves to anything, I don't believe you are reading that, Jakie.” “Well, I don’t have to; anyhow that's what the resect says. Then soak it in a pint cup—” “Oh, dear me 1 How in the world can you put a watermelon in a pint cup?” “Well, I ain’t here to tell the whereaaes and the howibres. I’m just reading the facts and you can put in the filoEofee to suit your taste. After soakin' the melon put in a skillet and fry it fur five days.” “I wonder if Mrs. Brown sent me such a recipe as that ?” said the old lady; but Jakie kept on: “Then put the watermelon in a quart bow l aud j>our over it a gallon of vinegar, taking care to not spill the vinegar—” “I'd just like to bow you can pour a gallon into a quart bow 1 without spilling any of it;” but Jakie continued: "Then sift a peek of red pepper through a milk strainer over the im-luu, aud to one cup of butter aud the white and yolks and shells of three eggs, and throw in the old hen that laid them, and four sticks of cinnamon drops and two tabiespoonfuls of quinine aud run it through a coffee-mill and let it stand till it ferments, aud then put it in a tin can and tie the <an to a dog’s tail—this will stir it up to the right consistency—and then you can turn it off in crocks aud have it ready for use. Herrs it cold and spread it on mince pie and it makes a capital dessert,” and Jakie slid out of doors and left the old lady looking lika a w rinkle on a monument— Fret I'rut.

Polishing Furniture. To cl< :-■■ furniliire, especially the surface of a liueiy-polished piano, we will give our i lady friends a re, ipe la tter than any in the | books. Take a w a.-h-bow! half full of tepid water and » little fine toilet wap aud a tablespoonful of sweet oil. Dip a piece of old flannel in this, and apply it to the furniture or piano, rubbing vigorously for a while; then exchange the flaunt 1 ibr a piece of old son fine cotton, luol linen, as that leaves its fiber* of lint and rub with this a while, finishing w ith a fresh piece of the same rag, until the liquid application is thoroughly removed. All these successive applications to lie made to one particular spot of the wood no larger than can be worked w ith a single stroke of the arm, and that to be finished before a fresh place is treated. When the whole piano lias been gone over in this manner, (it should take two hours at least, to do it well,) it will look as good as new, and far better than if refinished by an ordinary workman. This is the best application for that purple cloud that comes on a polished wood surface in damp weather. Os course, a judicious person w ill be very sparing of the liquid, although she has a washbowl half full of it, and will not use enough to drip on the carpet, or penetrate to the interior of the piano. Cheap Insurance. We are almost daily reminded of tho fact that cheap insurance is not the cheapest in the end. Like every commodity that is extremely cheap, it is apt to be thin in spots and fade in washing; in other words, so long as the buildings insured do : not burn, the insurance is good enough; but I when indemnity for a loss is looked for it is not always forthcoming. Fanners are, as a class, made the especial objects of the solicitude of a lot of itinerant agents w ho, by offering them something cheap, get their patronage. Business men in cities know better, and only patronize old and well established companies. Even these are hard enough to deal with when there is a loss, but it is far better to deal with a party able to pay than one willing but unable. As a rule, it is always safest to trade with established dealers, men who have a reputation to keep up, than to take the chance of being swindled by an oiler of something a little cheaper from a stranger Susan B. Anthony said “It has been ascertained that when young men and young women are brought ’together iu colleges, their conversation is uo longer characterized by frivolity, but becomes elevated by the discussion’of subjects suggested by their mutual studies.'’

The columns of a paper are the publisher’s stock iu trade,and the parties who ask to use them for their special benefit mu.-t ■ expect to pay for the same. Every public , spirted citizen of a place should have a . pride in seeing his town and surroundings improve; every new house, every new road every new manufacturing establishment erected, every new business opened enhances the value of property iu our midst. Every reflecting mind knows this to be true, and it should not be forgotten that the local newspaper adds much to the general wealth and prosperity of the place, as well as increases the reputation of the tow n abroad. It benefits all who have business in the place; enhances the value of property besides being a desirable public convenience, even if not conducted in the interests of either political power. It increases trade, it cautions against imposition, it saves you from loss, it warns you from danger, It points out different advantages, amt increases your profits. The lot-ill I press is the power that moves the people; therefore support it by advertising in it ; liberally, subscribing for it and paying it. J A little Oil City boy, whose father gave him a printing press tiie other day, has already discovered the dangers and pitfalls which surround the path of the printer. He set up and printed a little gilt-edged card, with the warning phrase, “Paint! i look out!” By some means this card became fastened to his sister’s hat, and hung I down just above her left ear, where he I who ran could read, and w hen she went . down street there was a grin extending ! clear from Pearl avenue to the Exchange; i and that night the boy traded off his print ing press for a yellow dog and a pop-gun. Flint Glass.—Glass is a double silicate of either potash or sodawith either lead or , lime. There are three kinds of glass : flint I glass, crown or plate glass and bohemian glass. Take carl innate of potash, silica (or sand i and red lead and fuse them well to- ; gether and a transparent and colorless mass of flint glass will be produced. Ordinary plate glass is made by using lime instead of lead. By adding the oxide of iron we get green glass; the oxide of manganese I purple glass, and the addition of oxide of I copper gives red glass. 1 I’ in.. Call on Wicks <t Merryman at their office, and have your house insured in a first class company, at low rates Otherwise do not call on them with a subscription paper when your house ! burns. . Proof Positive—We have the most positive and convincing proof that Thomas' Eclectric Oil is a most effect- , ual specific for bodily pain. Tn cages of rheumatism and neuralgia it gives instant relief. The largest ami finest stock of ready made clothing for men, boy’s and children in Decatur, will be found at M. Bremerkamp’s.—tf.

In order to close out my stock of boots and shoes I will sell them at cost. M. Bremerkamp.—tf.
