The Township Assessors elected on the 3rd of April next, will meet at the Auditoi’s ‘office in Decatur, on Friday, the 14M. of April, 1882 at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose* of filing bond, receiving books and papers, and to agree upon a uniform rate of assessment. G. CHRISTEN, Auditor. March 30th. 'B2. Buggies and spring wagons, so long mud bound, are coming into general use again. Last Saturday and Sunday were unusually warm days for the season, giving vegitation a boom. The Democrat had a busy time last Friday and Saturday, printing tickets etc., for the township elections. The Secretary of the county Board of Health is receiving <puite a number of reports of marriages, births and deaths. The fellows who knew all about the primary election, who knew it would result as it did are about as numerous as usual. Last Saturday was candidates day. Representative men of the party were present from all parts of the county, besides some others. The column of announcements has disappeared and with it most of the candidates. Several of the boys said let it go as it would they would never never try again. The pleasures of a political canvass are rather mythical. An alarm of fire was sounded about eleven o’clock last night. McKendry & Company’s factory whistled, the Catholic church bell rang and the firemen promenaded, but that was all. The fire was caused by the burning of an uninhabited cabin about a half a mile east of town. The cry for copy has demoralized us this week. This primary election business makes one dreamy, hazy, unballanced. and everything else but clearheaded and in working humor. Items float away, thoughts vanish and copy fails to accumulate. There is so much to do that one does not know what to do first, the total result is much of nothing. The following persons left Tuesday evening for Valparaiso to attend school: Miss Lucy Stone, 8. D. Beavers, Wm. McLaughlin, S. T. M. Luckey, Johnson and Nelson Tyndall, and John T. and Patrick Kimmey. There are at present some twenty persons from this county attending college at the above named place and several more will start for there this week. John Hart, of Fort Kearney, Nebraska. shipped a barrel of wild geese to this place and distributed them among his friends. One of them fell to our lot, a young tender one at that, but it had travelled too far before being served up, and was not just our ideal of a roast goose. But John has our thanks all the same. The sportsmen has more pleasure in taking than eating them. Nick Meibers appeared to his friends for the first since his hurt Saturday. There was general rejoicing and handshaking at his convalescence. Some of his German friends have dubbed him “St. Patrick.” Nick seems to take kindly to his new name and is trying to modify his language accordingly. It is too funny to hear him try to sav “be jabers,' and get it twisted into the deep guttural of “by yieminy." Sam Roth, of the Bluffton Banner, and B. G. Gray, of the Portland Sun, were in Decatur Thursday of last week, and were callers at The Democrat office. Both came to look after the conventions held on that day. Brother Gray, however, was a little late. It always affords us pleasure to meet any of the press gang, especially those whom we expect to be associated with, politically, in the district and state campaigns of the future. Thos. Lynch had a narrow escape last Wednesday. He was engaged in blowing out stumps on the line of the Chicago and Atlantic railroad, near Grim's prairie and was working on the last stump necessary to complete the j ob. The first charge failed to go off, He then put in an additional charge, which exploded but did not set off the first one. While feeling around with his tamping rod, the first charge went off and lifted the stump, at the same time blew the tamping rod into the lower portion of his right arm, making an usly flesh wound. He had at the same time about twenty pounds of cartridges on his arm. It wascertainy a narrow escape all around.

use again.

Pen. Rice has moved to Decatur. rhe streets of Decatur were crowded on Saturday last. Last Sunday was Palm Su day and 1 this is the last week of Lent. Mrs. Hollowell McElhaney, of this place died W ednesday morning. The Marshal is using his scraper with good effect in leveling the streets. August Krechter of the cigar store had a rush of business on Saturday and Monday last. The Democrat, Lima, Ohio, says track laying has commenced upon the Chicago 4 Atlantic railroad at that place. It is about time to break the monotony of the thing and go to church once more. It will soon be too hot weather, now there is no excuse—go. France & King have been employed to defend Noah Brandt, Peter Avery and the two Ainsworth boys, in a case where they are charged with assault and battery with intent to commit a rape. The occurrence took place near Willshire last fall. The trial will take place at Van Wert some time in May. The average women is now cleaning up her yard, back and front, laying out an immense amount of work in the way of frescoeing, paper hanging and whitewashing. She gazes with flashing eye at the winter stove, finishing with significant glances at her leige lord, as much as to say how can this thing be done with the least profanity. The bosses of creation reign with undisputed sway about these times. Messrs Jesse and John Niblick returned from the eastern markets last week, where they had been to make the spring purchases for the firm of Niblick, Crawford & Sons. They bought the largest stock that has ever been brought to this market. They commenced unpacking in the brick ware house and soon accumulated so much weight upon the floor that it gave way. Every department of their store is packed with seasonable goods, which cannot be more particularly noticed in so short a notice. What The Democrat World LiaeTa See Godfrey Christen work in his new factory on a hot day. Niblick, Crawford & Sons have their store lighted by gass. The Journal continue to murder the English language. The fellow that shot at the Dutch man Sunday night. Our young voters vote the straight Democratic ticket. Dan Donovan wear a plug hat. M. P. Walch run his first excursion to Dayton. 'Esq. Bailey beat bass drum in the Knights of Pythias band. Perhaps the most brutal outrage on record occurred at Kokomo, on Saturday. A fiend entered the house of Ed. Pitchard, chloroformed himself and wife, then took their little daughter, a child three years of age, to an outbuilding and outraged her. A man who gave his name first as Charles Gimson, and afterwards as Richard Long, was airested, and evidence found upon his person in the way of blood upon his clothes and was also identified in jail by a young woman who saw him enter the house in such a manner that it convinced the community that he was the guilty wretch. On Monday night a masked crowd forced the jail and took the prisoner to the Main street bridge, put a rope around his neck and threw him off the bridge. He acknowledged being a theif, but denied the crime for which he was hung. His last wish was for the mob to “hang him decent.” If he was guilty no punishment could be too quick, great or severe, but it should be done in a legal manner. Mob law should be condemned. Irving’s “Rip Van Winkle.” Delightful old Rip Van Winkle, whom Washington Irving and Joseph Jefferson have made one of the most famous of American characters, is just published, with other of Irving’s choicest ‘Sketches,’ in a charming little red line, gilt edge, richly ornamented volume, for the marvellously low price of 35 cents, or by mail, 40 cents by The Useful Knowledge Publishing Company, of New York City. They issue an edition of the same bound in plain cloth for 25 cents., postpaid, and another, new in style of binding, appropriately name ‘Utility, for only 13 its. postpaid. These volumes are issued especially to show to book buying millions the character of the literature and the quality of workmanship with wonderful economy in cost, which the ‘Literary Rebellion proposes to produce a large number of standard and exceedingly desirable works being announced to follow rapidly, equal in quality and economy of cost. Ihe red line edition is certainly one of the most exquisite little volumes which has ever found its way into the homes of ordinary mortals, and the Utility’ edition places the famed low prices even of the ‘Literary Revolution’ far in the background. The books will certainly sell by the hundred thousand, and ought to sell by the million. A postal card will secure specimen pages and catalogues from the publishers, The Useful Knowledgel üblishing Company, 162 William Street, New York City.

Personals. Isaac Strass, of Fort Wayne, was in Decatur last week. The “mysterious six” were serenading, Saturday night. With this number The Democrat commences volume twenty-six. Miss Anna Miller, of Fort Wayne, was the guest of Jake Martin’s last week, Col. Moore and wife of the C. 4 A. R. R. spent a few days in Decatur last week. Mrs. Kate Wilmington, of Grand Rapids, is visiting friends and relatives in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Casper Lang sp'ent a few days in St. Marys, last week, visiting their parents. Misses Etta Chubb and Kittie Christen spent Sunday with Leonore Patterson, at Willshire. Miss Emma Donovan, who has been at Circleville, Ohio, for the past six months will return home to-day. Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Walch, Miss Christine Miller and Will Niblick, spent Sunday with friends in Delphos. Miss Anna Lewis gave a home concert Saturday evening, assisted by her pupils in music. Very few invitations were issued but all report it a success. Those Gravel Roads. Wm. Snyder called at The Democrat office this week and left a sample of gravel, which, while not the best quality will make an excellent road. He represents that there is an abundance of gravel to build both roads and expressed it as his opinion that eventually both roads would be built, notwithstanding the discouraging meeting reported in last week’s Democrat. Mr. Snyder says that while the report of the meeting is correct, that those present hardly represented the sentiment of the community in regard to building roads. He is enthusiastically in favor of building the north road, in fact both roads, and claims at the proper time it will be demonstrated that there are enough men along the line of these proposed roads to put them through as contemplated. It is to be hoped Mr. Snyder is correct in his views and that his predictions will be verified. As The Democrat remarked on a previous occasion. The people along the line of the proposed roads need them and they are abundantly able to build them, and that, without seriously discommoding them financially. And once built, they would not do without them for twice what they cost. Mud roads are only to be tolerated in this country where there is no gravel to build them with. married.
