Huntington has a daily paper. The Lyric Combination stoped at Kthe Miesse House. Cadillac, Michigan, has ice from ten to twelve inches thick. John Miller is now running three ■ chairs in his barber shop. Train No. 2, on the G. R. & I. was ■ over an hour late on last Saturday. McKendry & Co., had a train of I" stave bolts last Saturday on the Grand Rapids Road. Quite a number of our dancers will whirl in the gleamy waltz at the Miesse House to-night. John Shirey brought some valuable horses to this market yesterday, which he purchased near Portland. All who attended the surprise H party at Mr. James Stone's last U Thursday evening, report a good time. A number of our people will witness 2 the rendition of “Hamlet,” which will ■be played at Fort Wayne, by Booth ‘ S shortly. The seven Hotchkins at the PresbyB terian church Saturday night had a K $16.00 house. Some expressed themselves well pleased with the concert, I but we confess our inability to appreciate it to any considerable extent. John Bowers was heard to say on street last Sunday, show me the if man that stole my tools. Lucky for ■ John that he found his missing tools # at the G. R. it I depot, and takes pity on the party that done the stealing. Miss Julia F. Lee, who gives one of ■ her humorous and pathetic recitations at Rover's Hall, next Friday night, is ■ said to be one of the best and gifted B readers now traveling; always securing B a crowded house the second night. One g| night only at Decatur. The friends of W. H. Fristoe. Pleas- • ant Jfills, celebrated the fifty-eighth ■ anniversary of his birthday, by giving j/Shim a genuine surprise. Eighty-six .’of his friends gathered together on the ■ occasion and had a pleasant social ■ time, including a grand spread. The H Democrat boys return thanks for a ■ liberal supply of fine cake.

I Evidently he has got his just deserts S and it is probable but few will mourn | his loss.— Ridgeville Leader. We can hardly give the above statej went credit for reliability. It is doubt--11, less just as truthful as the Journal’s ft rumor of Theodore Smith, that he was I robbed and placed oh the track to hide I the crime. The Huffman Brothers, of which | J/artin Huffman, formerly of this I place, is one of the firm, have been I engaged in the lumber business in Ten- | nessee for some time past, met with a i serious loss recency. A sudden rise I in New river swept away $20,000 worth J of black walnut logs for them. Pre- | vious to this unfortunate circumi stance they had been doing a very ! profitable business; all their ventures E bringing them good returns. They : have our sympathy. The musical and literary entertainment given by the Lyric Combination at the Court House, Tuesday evening, was the best entertainment that a Decatur audience has heard for a long time. Those who did not attend missed a rare treat. Miss. Hewitt has a finely cultivated soprano voice, as shown in “Jamie” and other pieces. Miss. Kendrick, handled the piano, harp and violin with rare skill, giving evidence of thorough cultivation. Mr. Mason was equally at home with song or recitation. The combination well deserves public patronage, wherever they go. Miss. Julia Lee, will give one of her pleasing recitations at Kovers Hall, Friday, January the 27th. Elsewhere in this paper is shown the great variety of the selections. In about two two weeks she will be followed by Mrs. El za Young; Brigham Young’s nineteeth wife, in her lecture on Mormonism. Following her with about the \ same interval of time, G. Paul Smith, will give two entertainments, on two successive nights. His impersonating of character are unrivalled. These '■tertainments will complete the course jfesen under the auspicies of the citi~»\.club. Our citizens should patron- - —‘ainments because they ~ » best of the

Metts Last Friday night, several young men, who could have been better employed, were training a drunken tramp, rolling him in the mud and worrying him in every way imaginable. They caused him to loose his hat, and about three o clock Saturday morning, wet, muddy and nearly frozen, he aroused Dr. W. P. McMillen, who took him in, built him a fire and otherwise made him comfortable, and then retired. Having been up with a sick patient the night before, he soon fell into a doze, from which he was aroused by the tramp desiring to borrow his hat to go down town. Caring more for his rest than the hat, he told him to take it. The tramp felt the necessity of cultivating so indulgent a friend, and did so, by taking the doctor’s overcoat, in the pocket of which was a valuable obstetrical instrument. In the morning the Dr. missed his coat and instrument. On coming down town he learned that the tramp had his coat and was trying to pawn his instrument at various places in town, when he caused his arrest. He was held to answer the charge of larceny, in the sum of S3OO, in default of which he was sent to the Allen county jail for safe keeping. lie gave his name as Leonard Hartwick.

JOHX HEMtV XEVit'S. Death of One of the Oldest Ministers in Indiana. The venerable Rev. J. 11. Nevius died at 5:30 o’clock this morning at the residence of his son, Dr. Geo. F. Nevius, corner of Market and Gen. Taylor streets, thus closing along, useful and happy life. The disease which terminated his existence was dropsy, from which he has suffered severely for a long time. For several days it had been evident he could not survive, and for the past three days his death was expected at any moment. John Henry Nevius was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey. March 3, 1809, and resided in his native place until nine years of age, when the family removed to Lebanon. Ohio, where they’ remained two years. Mr. Nevius at an early day felt called to preach the gospel, and with this divine purpose in his mind bent every energy to accomplish it. Two years later the family removed to Yellow Springs, Ohio, where he remained until 1832. During this year he was united in marriage with Catharine Eaton Browne, who survives him, and immediately after his marriage went to Oxford, Ohio, and entered Oxford college, where he completed a preparatory course of studies with a view to entering the ministry. He afterwards went to Dayton, where he finished his studies at the Lane theological seminary, and was licensed to preach by the Cincinnati presbytery of the Presbyterian church at a meeting held at New Carlisle, Ohio, in 1841.

In October, 1842, he moved to Decatur, and was ordained pastor of the Presbyterian church, which had just been temporarily organized, but had no settled place to hold its meetings. He soon succeeded in obtaining from the legislature a special charter and a legal organization of the church. The ground where the church and parsonage now stand was purchased, and a church building erected and completed in 1854. The relation of pastor was maintained for fourteen years, when he accepting a call to the church at North Henderson, Illinois, where he remained nine years, by which time his health had become so poor that he was obliged to retire from the pulpit. Ho then returned to Decatur but remained only a short time, coming to South Bend tn 1866, and making this his home to the last. During his residence here he was not idle, but for two years supplied the pulpit of the Rolling Prairie church and for a short time the Second Presbyterian church of this city.

He was a man of genial disposition and fine social qualities. He took a deep interest in all charitable works, and insofar as his health permitted aided in spreading the gospel. He was a member in high standing of both the Masonic and and Odd Fellows orders, having in both taken a majority of the degrees that can be conferred in this country. His wife and three children, Dr. G, F. Nevius, of Paoli, Kansas, and Mrs. W. G. Spencer, of Decatur, Indiana, survive him to mourn the loss of an excellent husband and father. The funeral will occur at 2:30 o’clock Thursday afternoon, from the First Presbyterian church, the Rev. Geo. T. Keller, officiating, and will be conducted under the auspices of South Bend Commandry, No. 13, Knights Templar.— South Bend Evening Register. of the 10th. The Last sad Rites.

The funeral of the late Rev. J. H. Nevius, took place at the First Presbyterian chuch yesterday afternoon, and was generally attended by our citizens. The church, about the pulpit and choir gallery, was appropriately draped in black and decorated with flowers. The sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. Geo. T. Keller, and was most impressive and eloquent, bringing tears to many eyes. After the sermon the beautiful rites of the Knight Templar order were celebrated. The singing was in charge of the quartette from the Apollo club, of Chicago, and was very fine. At the conclusion of the church services the procession was formed with the South Bend Commandery, Knights Templar, headed by the South Bend cornet band, in the lead, and proceeded to the cemetry, where the remains were consigned to their last resting place in accordance with the rites of the Masonic order. The pall-bearers were Sir Knights MiloS. Hascall, of Goshen; E. H. Keene, of Elkhart; J. 11. Service, of New Carlisle; and Clem Studabaker, R. J. Chestnutwood and W. J. Holloway, of this city, The procession was one of the most imposing ever formed in this city, nearly one hundred Sir Knights in full uniform being in line, and also a large number of citizens in carriages and on foot.

The Geneva schools, under the supervision of Prof. W. C. Ladd, are in a prosperous condition. The attendance is greater now than at any time since school opened. S. W Skeels, formerly of Geneva, but now of Manton, Michigan, in a letter to a friend here says, that he is tired of Michigan, and would like to get back tc the old place again. We venture the remark that he will come back.

Skating has been good on Line street, in front Ans.Roll’s barbershop; but it will not always last. You can bet your bottom dollar that the streets will be graveled the coming summer. There is a splendid opening in Geneva for some enterprising party to start a grist mill. This is what we have long been in need of. There is a fortune in it for somebody. The gravel road excitement is on the increase. Petitions are being circulated among the farmers to build the road directly west to the county line. We say. let nobody be backward about signing the petition. The road will be a great benefit to everybody in the country through which it passes, and also enhance the value of the real estate. Wilson Shepherd was shaking hands with his friends in Geneva, the forepart of the week. The L T nited States Express office has been removed to the new grocery and restaurant, W. M. Reed, agent.
