School Monday. ’Bl is among the bygones. The ice question is still a subject of debate. Who has not heard of Lew. Wagoner’s baby? The Knights of Pythias bojs have received their new instruments. Jake Martin had a rush of business during the holidays. The Fort Wayne Gazette says Bluffton is trying to capture the coal road. The young people had a pleasant time at Dr. Dorwin’s on Tuesday ingWanted at the Burt House, a dining room girl. Wages two dollars per week.

Quite a number of callers were entertained at The Democrat office last Monday. Learn to say no. Spurgson says it will be of more use than to by able to read Latin. Dick, of the Burt House prepared a number one dinner for his guests on Sunday last. Santa Claus’ deputy at this place is a fraud, and The Democrat will petition for his removal. The “Merry Makers" that played here on Thursday and Friday evening were poorly patronized. A. Krechter, of the cigar store is having such a rush of business that he has bad to increase his force. The Odd Fellow’s building is to be extended back to the al'ey and will, probably be bnilt three stories high. The hop lobe given by the K. of P. Cornet Band promises to be the grandest of the season. The floor will be waxed. There will be a grand social hop at K. P. hall -under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias Cornet Band, Friday night, January 13, 1882.

The contractors on the Chicago & Atlantic R. R. are using dymanite to loosen up the clay in the cut where the road crosses Mercer street. If the Methodist folks had put something up to be voted for to be given to the fellow who wears the most dilapidated old hat in Decatur, The Democrat would have had some show for carrying off the 7:.. '. Our columns contain all the infer mation we have to give to a subscriber, writing from Geneva, as to what the teachers of Adams county are doing. And as to whether anyone attended the State Teachers Association.

W G. Spencer received a telegram from South Bend, Wednesday, inform ing him of the serious illness of his father-in-law, Rev. J. H. Nevius, and that be could not in all probability live over another day. Mrs. Spencer 1 left ' esterday for Sjouth fiend. St. Marys Lodge I. O. 0. F. No. H>7, elected the following officers tc serve the next term: C. N. Spencer, Noble Grand; Titus Ernst, Vice Grand; John 11. Steele, Recording Secretary; W. G. Spencer, F. A. Gillig and J. A. ] Christen, Trustees. If the lawyer who discovered the mistakes in the bar docket had had less to do. he would, probably, have discovered more errors than the Journal says he did. A busybody has no time to do the subject justice. An idler should be employed on that mission. The press gang of this country will take notice that their Gordon job presses do not amount to shucks. The only real good press is the amateur job press. The iournal of last week is our authority for this. We believe that Ed. Philips would be a competent instructor in’ the art of making mud pies. The New Year dinntr at the Miesse

House was a grand spread, and partaken of by a large number of inv ted guests and others. The menuc, as to variety and quality, was all that the most exacting epicure could desire The crowded state of our columns pre vents us from furnishing it to our readers in full. The gas apparatus at the M. E. church works very well, and affords a aood light, so far as it has been tested. | It is said that cold weather is the severest test for this kind of a light. That if the pipes g-1 chilled, it does not afford so clear, steady and bright a light, as in warm or moderate weather. As we have had no severe cold weather since it has been in use, it is impossi ble to foretell how it will work under such a test.

1 hose fellows who were tcaringdowu signs, between eleven and twelve I o’clock Saturday night, had better go slow, or tiicir pranks will get them into trouble. It costs money to put up signs, and no one can destroy the prop city ot another, without incurring the risk of being prosecuted for malicious trespa-s, which is a very unpleasant position to occupy, as some one will dearly learn some of these days. Those who subscribed to aid .in starting a Foundry and Machine Shops at this place, are requested to pay the same within ten days to Jacob Hart,, the proprietors having complied with all the conditions of the subscription. The proprietors arc now ready for business, and all orders for repairing or new work will receive their prompt attention. We hope all wh*o have patronage to bestow upon the new enterprize will help the young men by giving them their work. Arrangements have been made with Dunbar's lecture, musical and dramatic agency for the appearance of the Lyric Combination; G. Paul Smith, in his personations; lecture by Miss F. Lee and Miss Eliza Young, the latter, late of Brjgham Young’s Marriage Association, having held c rtificate number nineteen, which her experience well qualifies her to describe in a public lecture. These entertainments will b under the anspicies of a club of our citizens who desire to furnish something better and more instructive than is usuall furnished to towns of this size. The Democrat bespeaks for them the patronage of be public, assuring them they will get value received. Particulars of the time and place of these entertainments will be given in due time.

John Coffee, whose conviction last week of attempting a deadly assault, particulars of which will be found in the court proceedings, had a narrow escape at the hands of the jury from the penitentiary. He lias been repeatedly fined for lesser offences, and escaped punishment altogether in others. Thu knife seeming to be his favorite weap on in most of his troubles, and he always gets into trouble when under the influence of whiskey. Taking it altogether. he has been fortunate in getting out of his many fights with very light punishment. This should be a warning to him, and wc hope will be. Whiskey is the cause of all this trouble. It will cause him more in the future, unless he should cease using it. This we hope he will do, when he has served out his time in the Allen county jail.

M. E. Church Fair. After a solid week's work the M. E. church fair closed at a late hour Saturday night. The attendance throughout the week was large, the number present gradually increasing up to Sat-' urday night, which brought the big crowd of the fair, packing the room so densely that it was difficult to get around. The most popnlar and exciting feature of the fair was the voting of articles to different parties. Monday night, the contest was among the livery men over a bridle, donated by Millen Burns, which was carried off by Alex Bel 1 and brought $18.25. Tuesday night tweuty-four yards of carpet, in which the widows were competitors, was carried off by Mrs. Emma Hart, ai d broughts3s.74.

The cobbler’s watch, donated by Henry Yoglewede, was voted to George Roop, bringing $11.40.

State Teacher's Association. Tf.e teachers.of the State asembled at Indianapolis last week, brom their proceedings we clip a synopsis of a paper read by Prof. Eli F. Brown, of the Chair of Natural Sciences, Terre Haute Normal School, on -‘School and

It was an ably prepared address, in which he said the Public Schools were origi ated by public necessity, and the most essential part of ’a school is the teacher. It is a question whether a person who can secure a six months' license is fitt-d to teach even the fundamental principals of an education. The schools are‘for the children and not for the teacher, nor for the political agrandizement of individuals or parties. Among applicants for a position of school teaching the fittest shou’d survive. There is a greater demand lor competent teacheis than can be supplied. In the mind's eye one can see the coming College Professor. He will not appear as a life pensioner, but rather as the worthy instrument of his high calling. The County Superintendent will not be chosen through red tape methods and political dodges, but because of his merit ah a practical teacher. There is a science of teach- ’ in>». The profession has its history

I and its literature. As requisites for a ' | skilled teacher, Professor Brown suggested (1) a mastery of the fundamen- ' tai principals; (2) a knowledge of the child-mind; (3) a study of methods: (4) a study of models of art in teaching and (5) subjection to the discipline -of the school. The finest teaching is found in primary schools, and a great ’ deal of the poorer in the higher grades. ' Professor Brown's paper was discussed < by Professor Mickleburrough, of the r Cincinnati Normal School; J. M. Stras- ‘ burg, of Richmond, and Messrs. Good-

win, McPherson and Wallace. The former advocated that licence to teach should not be given to incompetent persons, and insisted that therein is the science of education. Meeting of Town Trustees. The board of trustees of the town of Decatur met Tuesday evening, and transacted the following business : Jesse Niblick, President of the board sent in his resignation as President, which on motion was laid upon the table. A J. Hill chosen President pro tem.

John Eiting &Co., proposed to lease 20x40 feet of the town property on Monroe street, for a period of five years to build a warehouse upon. D. M. Goodsell was appointed agent of the Board to enter into a -contract with them, in case a majority of the Board concurred in the proposition and the parties could agree as to terms. J. E. Ellsworth presented a petition in behalf of the Alert Hook and Ladder company, askingthat some arrangements be made to sound an alarm, in case of fire, which was laid upon the table.

Some people think there is a terrible state of affairs at this place on account of small pox and vaccination. In their imagination there is a great many cases of small pox here, a large number of them fatal; besides much sickness and quite a number of deaths from vaccination. It was supposed that fools of this kind were all dead; as they are not. it is to be hoped they will get so frightened they will never come to Decatur again. To sensible people it is hardly worth while to dignify such rumors with a denial. The truth is as The DemocTdt has repeatedly affirmed, there is not, nor has there been, a case of small pox in or around Decatur for a long time. All, or nearly all, our people have been vaccinated, young and old, with the usual results following, local and constitutional, that are common to vaccination. At a meeting of Kekionga Lodge, No. 65, Knights of Pythias, Thursday, Dec. 29, 1881, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: L. D. Phelps, P. C. Israel C. King, C. C. Elijah Cox, P.
