Judge Bobo, of Decatur, has been nominated by the Democracy for the Judgeship for the counties of Wells, Adams and Jay. The judge has made a good and acceptable judicial officer, and his certain return to the position by the voters of these counties is a high mark of the esteem in which he is held.—Huntington Democrat. A crank hailing from Chicago had himself boxed up and shipped by express from Chicago to Philadelphia. Just before reaching Van Wert he was discovered and the messenger surmising he had caught a train robber lodged him in jail. Upon investigation he proved to be a harmeless crank trying to beat his way to Philadelphia by paying his way as express matter. The “bank statement” of the Adams county bank, shows individual deposits tO tue amount of $258,220,65.

It was spoken of as one of the best plays produced by home talent, and far superior to many of the professional troupes that visit us.

Richard Fitz Gerald, who is very low with consumption, arrived from Chicago. last Saturday. He was taken sick at ’Leadville, Col., some six months since, returned to Chicago last fall, and has been gradually failing since, For some time past he has bad a longing to get back to his mother, which was finally gratified as stated.

The case of Jacob Thombs who is held to answer for the assault upon Nicholas Melbers, at Colohin’s saloon, came up before Esq. Bailey, Tuesday. The attorneys wrestled with the case all day, which resulted in a change of venue to Esq. Durbin and a continuance of the case until the 19th of April. In the affidavit for continuance. Thombs swears that what he did to Nicholas Mcibers was in self defence, which he can prove by John Buchtol, who is temporally absent in the state of Ohio. In speaking of the progress of work on the" new Chicago A tlint '° r . al ’; road the Rochester Senhnef, of last Saturday, says; “A large gang of workmen were employed last Sunday in laying iron on the O that connects the new road with the I. P. & C. That day was chosen to make the connection so as not to interfere with the running of trains. Enough of iron is down on which trains can be .witched to furnish .bundant room for the storage of iron for the new road, which will soon be shipped here in large quantities, and as soon as engines can be procured the work of laying the track will begin in earnest. Hundreds of Rochester citizens went to the work last Sunday to see the first rails laid for the new road."

Commissioner Weldy says that Adams county has built bridges during his official career as Commissioner of five years amounting to $49,680,66. Ihe meeting of the Young People's temperance society will be held this evening at the Methodist church, instead of the Evangelical as heretofore named. J. T. Lincoln, a prominent attorney of Carmichaels, Pa., was in town several days, the guest of Tom Woodruff and A. F. Simpson. He is a gentleman of fine culture, and among many things he found to admire, he noticed one deplorable feature—that of vandalism as exhibited in the defacing of our court house by obscene writing on the walls. The Bluffton Times is quite anxious that Decatur should have credit for the drunks of the K. of P. of that place, on the occasion of the institution of Phoenix Lodge, K. of P. at Ft Wayne The members of the order at Bluffton, the people of Fort Wayne and the edb tor of The Democrat, who was in Ft. Wayne the next day, knew where the credit should go. For sweet charity’s sake we were silent. It is bad enough to get drunk, but it is worse to lie about it. “We know.”

The Catholic congregation of this place received their new bell on Monday. It was cast at the Buckeye Bell Foundry, Cincinnati, 0., and weighs with the attachments, 1,383 lbs.

France, Esq., Prosecutor and Levi Mock, Esq., as Joint Representative between Jay, Adams and Wells counties. The ticket is an excellent one, and will give the best of satisfaction throughout the entire district. Let every Democrat now go to work, and by an individual effort on the part of all, we can roll up a larger majority in this Judicial circuit than was ever made before.— Bluffton /fanner, M. E.

Geor*e Cox, oi Mercer County, Ohio This morning, George Cox, by his attorneys, Messrs France & King, filed a complaint in the Adams Circuit Court against Eli Zimmerman, jr., of this county, and Winfield S. Zimmerman, of Mercer county, Ohio, charging the defendants with criminal conversation with his wife, at various timesand places, particularly, Decatur and Fort Wayne. The full details of the complaint, which we deem unnecessary to re-produce is spread upon four pages of legal cap, and closes with a demand for damage in the sum of fifty thousand dollars, for which sum the plaintiff demands judgment. This, doubtless, will from the circumstances surrounding it, be one of the most important suits ever brought in the courts of this county, from the fact that the principal defendant, Eli Zimmerman, jr., is one of the wealthiest men in the county, owning practically unincumbered real estate to the amount of about 900 acres of land, which joins Decatur on the east and south and is worth about ninety thousand dollars. There are various other circumstances surrounding the case which we do not t are to more fully particularire, but which will be developed during the progress of the suit. W. S. Zimmerman is a nephew of Eli. The plaintiff is a farmer of Mercer county, Ohio, and in good circumstances. Heretofore, so far as we have been able to learn, no breath of scandal has been attached to the family.

Personals. Dick Townsend Sundayed at Portland, last Sunday. R. B. Allison and Eugene Morrow were in Chicago this week. The young folks will hop at the Miesse House on next Thursday evening.

Miss Minnie Bobo entertained a number of her friends in honor of Miss Fannie Dorwin, on Thursday evening of last week. John D. Hale and Michael McGriff, the two successful candidates of Wabash township, were in Decatur on Saturday last. Mrs. William Harkless, died at Albion, Ind., Saturday, April the Bth, Mr. and Mrs. Harklass were former residents of this county,

The Chinese Immigration. The importation of coolies into this 1 country has recently been dignified with the title of “Chinese Immigration.’’ Those who in momury can go ( back thirty years will remember the discusssion that arose at that time and grew out of the question of the abolition of slavery in the United States. The Abolitionists of that day had the moral support of the religious press of the country. The question then arose in the event of the abolition of slavery, would it be right to employ coolie labor? And the answer was unanimous against it. Those At that day, who wore opposed to African slavery, opposed the employment of coolie labor, , as being only another form of slavery The principle was the same. In the | year of grace 1882, the tables are ; turned. What was wrong then is ! right now. In other words the employ- : ment of coolie labor is clothed with a new name, “Chinese Immigration”! when there is no such thing. The Chinese who come here only do so temporarily. As wc undeistand it, most of them are hired in China by corporations for a term of service. They are then sent out by their employers where they will do the most good for the time agreed upon. In no case do they ever become a part of the body politic. What they gather together they take away with them. They do not come as immigrants, but are aliens, foreign interlopers, owing their allegiance to the Emperor of China, and as such, have no rights except such as is our interest to give them. And just where the consistency of the religious press of this conntry comes in, we confess our inability to see, feel or comprehend. If it was wrong thir- J ty years ago, it is wrong now. If it was another name for human slavery then, it must be that mild form of human slavery now. Unclaimed Letters.

The eagerness of the farmers to purchase it last year, the satisfaction it gave and their willingness to recommend it to others, gives us assurance of a good harvest of sales this year. Every farmer needs a good Grind Stone permanently nung ready for all practically purposes. Now is your time to get it. Two inches thick is best for all purposes. It may be 2} or 2J inches.'
