There was a big crowd of people in town last Saturday. There will be six graduates from the high school in June. Several weddings are in prospect about the close of Lent. Many of the publie schools throughout the county are drawing to a close. March is giving us her leonine weather as the month draws to a close. The children are again busy at school after spending a happy vacation of e week. • •Lilli* Brown Jug will appear in better dress and style at Kover's Hall, Thursday night. There are few people in this section who are bragging of the size of their woodpiles. The next racket will be over the question of a town license for retailing liquors. Housekeepers complain of being unable to get either a good or bad article of butter of late. Lew Center was rejoicing over a bran new Democrat that arrived at his house one day last week. I The frescoeing io the new church is II completed. It will be ready for occult paney by the first of May. I There will be an unusual demand for ■ labor this season. Good reliable men II will command fancy prices. There was no school at the public II school last week. Teachers and schol- || ars bad a vacation of one week. | It seems to be generally conceeded || that the Germans cannot make a sueII cess of celebrating St. Patrick's day. I The “wcarin' o' the green" was I noticable among our fellow citizens of | Irish nationality on St. Patrick’s day. Henry Steele did finally sell his I his farm. It took him a considerable I time to consider and come to a confl elusion. H.'C. Stetler, sold his farm, the I old D. L. Coffman, near Pleasant Mills, I to Henry Steele, consideration $6,040, I for 1224,acres. It was amusing to see Charley Eh- ■ inger try to compromise with an unfl friendly dog, Sunday night. For parfl ticulars, ask Charley. A “ye olden time” taffy pulling at I Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Place, Saturday ■ evening, was one of the enjoyable ■ events of the season.

The fl work is complete and steam will be raised I for grinding to-day The ‘ Little Brown J ug will be repeat fl ed at Kover's Hall, on Thursday evening, | Match 30,1882. The entertainment will ■ conclude with a Farce. The saloon men asked for a special I police on Saturday night which was 9 furnished by the Marshal and paid for ■ by those who requested it. Miss Sarah Turner pleasantly enterE“ tained a number of friends on Monday evening in honor of her cousin Miss Niblick, of Harrison county, Ohio. The K. of P. Lodge No. 65, will go to Fort Wayne on Monday next to help institute a K. of P. Lodge at that place composed of twenty-eight memfl bers. If Jim Niblick would tell what he fl knows about Adams county roads, it ■ would be interesting reading, providing ■he would confine himself to his own ■ experience. Caleb McMaken, formerly of New S Corydon, now of Nodaway county, Mo., fl was on our streets shaking hands with ■ his old friends this week. He took ■ Greeley s advice some years since and B made a success in growing up with the ■E country. Drs. B. R. Freeman and G. W.

I They will repeal the entertainment Thursday, March 30, and will have a crowde I | house. C. H. Holmes, the colored cook at the Meissie House, arrested charged with the larceny of a commercial traveller’s goods was discharged for lack of evidence, it being impossible to secure the attendance of the commercial traveler, and without his presence it | w impossible to identify the goods fl cwn •'«“ ‘ I V cit ’ E when his discharge was under the L cumstances a foregone conclusion.

Another Bloody Affair. Mehnlas Melber. Knocked <‘•l and Hi ni»< J |„ „ )loj , Sbo , khla nnd Ba.'-b ji-oiin 'liuuer. Iriday nig. t between eight and nine ; o clock, Nicholas Meibers stepped into j the saloon of Matthias Colchin for a I quart of beer. As he started to go home i | he was met at the door by a couple of ' j men one of whom asked him to divide. He asked them to let him pass and for ■ answer one of them kicked the mug of ■ beer, spilling a portion of the contents at which Meibers drew back to save I , his beer when his assailant followed up the kick with a blow which felled Meibers to the floor as if he had been struck I down with a sledge hammer, then jumped into his face and stamped him in a ■ fearful manner, when the two fled. There was a stampede of those pres- j ent, leaving the saloon vacant, except- I ing an Irishman and Colchin,for a few I moments, while Meibers lay prone upon the floor insensible and nearly dead j from the effect of his injuries. At I this time Colchin dragged Meibers to the rear of the saloon and out the back door and left him lying upon the ground, which transaction was witnessed by some boys who gave the alarm, when several parties rushed in and found Meibers where he had been left by Colchin, the blood gurgling in his ’ throat, helpless, and in a fairway of strangling in his own blood without assistance. They told Colchin he would have a “Dave King case on his hands if he did not do something” to which Colchin replied “I guess not.” They brought him into the room set him up by the side of the building and leaned his head forward when the blood streamed from bis mouth Colchin furnished a sponge and water to bathe his wounds, after which he was taken to his home. Dr. C. A. Jelleff was called to attend him. On examination a deep i gash was found on the right side of i Lis face about half an inch from and nearly parallel with the lower portion I of his nose; his upper lip was cut i through, several of his upper front teeth loosened and his longue split near an inch and a half. His face had puffed and swoolcn so that his most intimate friends could hardly recognize him. lie was a sickening sight to look upon. Information was quietly gathered and a warrant issued aud placed in the hands of Marshal Rhodes for the ar-| rest of the then unknown party, which | was accomplished and proved to be j Jacob Tones, who acknowledged the deed. His examination would have i taken place the next morning, but the . prosecuting witness was unable to appear, when the matter was continued until Saturday. As Tones could not furnish baii he was sent to Fort Wayne jail for safe keeping. His case will doubtless go to the grand jury for investigation. Thus is another disgrace heaped upon thiscommunity, as causeless, unnecessary and brutal as ever happened. That it did not result in a cold blooded murder is just a bit of good luck to Tones. The Democrat does not wish | to prejudice his cause, but for the good name of cur town wish him a fair trial and punishment to the full extent of the law. Tones in this transaction lias shown himself a brute of the lowest order and deserves no sympathy. That the complaints of our citizens with regard to the whiskey traffic is not unfounded, this cumulative testimony was unnecessary. Look upon it. Meibers as harmless and inoffensive a man as there is in the community steps into Colchin's for a quart of beer, and going peaceably out is beaten so that he barely escapes with his life. If ; Nicholas Meibers could not go in and ; out without incurring such punishment, who is safe? Men dislike to go armed with sabre, gun and artillery, but if many more transactions occur as has been witnessed in town of IdtTno man will feel safe unless armed to the teeth. Why did Matthias Colchin try to■ conceal Meibers? is a question upon I every lip The Democrat only has | an opinion. Colchin was frightened. He thought Meibers dying and feared the result. Then deliberately pro-! ceeded to hide the evidence of crime j by dragging him out the back way as if he had been a dog. He is more weak and foolish than criminal. Doing as he did he imperilled the life of Meibers who could not have lived long without assistance. Twice he should have extended a helping hand. First to prevent the crime; second to help repair the injury io far as he could when consumated. He did neither, and by so doing has shown his utter unfitness to be intrusted with a license to retail intoxicating liquors. Despised.—By the unthinking, Bur dock has been considered a weed, and its luxuriant growth, unpleasant smell, etc has rendered it, to those "not knowing its virtues,” a nuisance, and yet the root has long oeen acknowledged by savants as most invaluable as a diuretic, aperient and blood purifier. Burdock Blood Bitters embody all it good qualities. Price SI.OO Sold by Dorwin & Holthouse. Marriage Licenses. The following marriage lie nses were issued since our last publication.

Fourteen years ago he bought property in Decatur, where he has continuously resided since. Both have been prominent members of the Presbyterian Church at this place almost from its organization.

Foul Slander Exposed, In the Editor’s column of the Ge- ! neva Weekly News, of the 14th. inst. we find the following. Confidence men play their little swindling games, and we have no law that will touch them. Our authorities consider stealing just as honorable as manual labor. Just as long as matters remain so, just that long will our town bold out inducements for such sharks to beat the people that come here to do business with our merchants. Nico stale of affairs isn’t it? In the absence of legal protection would it not be advisable for our good citizens to form themselves into a vigilance association for the purpose of their individual protection, their homes and their property. Men violate the law with impunity and invite the co-opieratiou of foreign abettors to better enable them to consumatc their nefarious work at the expense of the innocent and uninitiated in crime Let rogues take notice and govern themselves accordingly, for the people have said such violations of the law must cease. Never was more flagrant injustice done than in the above paragraphs against the legal authorities of our state and of Geneva in particular. It is true that great wrongs are committed here and the villiansgo unwhipped of justice, but who is to blame for it? True we have laws, officers and courts, but laws cannot be enforced or courts perform their functions without the support of the people. No warrant can be issued by a justice without the affidavit of a competent person. Who of our pretended friends of law and order, who saw men practicing their confidence games and others go behind the screen to drink liquor, sold in violation of law have tried to suppress the wrong? “I did not see the liquor drank” is no excuse. You have good reasons to know such was the fact, and to put the law in motion you are only required to swear “as you verily believe.” To swear against wrong doers and liquor sellers is below our dignity, or it might injure our business. Who of all this law and order party when a proceeding is begun to punish wrong doers has ever in Geneva rallied around the officers and given them even their moral support, and echo answers who? Come Mr. Editor, and your pretended friends of law and order, and do your duty in the premises, and until you have the moral courage to do so, keep still. Veritas. Personals.
