Church, Decatur, commencing one week from next Saturday night. There is an interesting letter in another column from Fort Wingate, .New Mexico, from a Decatur boy who is a part of Uncle Sam’s military family. W. I’. Moon has just taken the contract to build four tenement houses for R. B. Allison. They are to be exactly alike and to be completed at an early day. The K. of P. Band, accoiupained by aeveral members of the Odd Fellows' Band, left on Wednesday night for Petoskey, Michigan, for a week’s trip on the lakes. The County Cemetry is getting an overhauling, which was much needed and will very materially improve the appearance of things in and about the grounds The receipts at the social Tuesday evening were $30.00. On account of inclement weather, a smaller crowd was present than would have been otherwise. Henry Hite will hereafter run a free delivery wagon for the benefit of his customers. This will be a great convenience for those ordering groceriesat his establishment. What are we going to do for fruit this year? is the agonizing cry of housewives at this time; And there ■ does not seem to be any satisfactory I solution to the conundrum. The Monroe street sewer was comI pleted under the G. R. & I. railroad last week. The boys are now on the I home stretch and expect to complete the job in about five weeks if the weather is favorable. Last Friday Fred Nichols killed a I beautiful full grown milk-white crane. I It was a beautiful bird without spot or blemish. It was sent to a taxidermist I to be preserved and mounted and will I if well done, make a splendid specimen. The personal property of Mrs. NanI cy Winans, widow of Joseph Winans, was sold at public sale at Pleasant Mills yesterday. The old homestead had been previously disposed of. The family go to Kansas. They had been I residents of this county since 1837Dr. Freeman, who has been talking | of removing from Decatur to some larger place, has, we learn, concluded to remain. We are glad to make the announcement, as his removal from Decatur would be a loss not easily replaced. Twenty-five houses have been built west of the G. R. &. I. railroad this season and all are either ready for occupancy or are occupied save one. Several additional houses will be built this fall in the west end, additional to these mentioned. Las t Saturday was the fifty-fifth anniversary of the natal day of David Studaba'ker, and the fifty-sixth of Jesse Niblick. A few friends were invited to dinnner at the residence of the former, who was the recipient of a valuable gold headed cane, a present from his wife. One week from next Saturday the Monroe Center folks arc going to have a Sabbath School picnic and celebration. Quite a number of schools will be present. Good speakers and music will be pleasant features of the occasion. A general invitation is extended to our people to be present. The meeting house of the Christian Church is being very thoroughly repaired and will be re-dedicated the first Sabbath in September. Rev. L. L. Carpenter, of Wabash, will preach the dedication sermon. The yearly meeting of the different Christian Churches will be held at the same time. James Edington has sold his stock of goods to Daniel Sprang and Charles True. They will commence invoicing September Ist. Mr. Edington, we understand, contemplates going to Kansas. He is a good business man and citizen whose loss is to be regretted. Mr. Sprang has been with Mr. Edington since he has been in business here and is a worthy man and good business man. We wish the new firm success. D. J. Aber has associated himself with Messrs Lipes & Whiteleather, of Fort Wayne, for the purpose of conducting a Commercial Business College. They propose teaching practical and ornamental penmanship, letter writing, book-keeping, commercial arithmetic and law and political economy. In short, give our young men a thorough course of business training. Students are admitted at any time. For particulars, address Lpes Whiteleather 4 Aber, Fort Wayne, Ind.

Walch took thirteen passenger coaches of excursionists to Rome City, Thursday. All had a nice time coming, going and while there. His excursions are always a success. W. F. Kinsey, of the Fort Wayne M. E. College, is desirous of holding a musical normal at this place, to commence about the 12th of providing he can secure a guarantee of twenty scholars for the full course, which he ought to be able to do. If he comes the entire musical faculty of the college will assist him, including Prof Yost and Miss Princess Clark. Our people have never had an opportunity to secure such musical instruction as this affords at the same cost, and they will be wise if they secure the normal. Personals. Will Bosse has been on the sick list for the past week. Mr. W. J. Adelsperger returned from his Toledo visit Tuesday. Mrs. Mike McGriff, of Geneva, visited Mrs. Lew Whipple this week. Mrs. Dr. Holloway, returned from her visit to Traverse City, Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Davis, of Lindsey, 0., were visiting Mr. and Mrs. Linn this week. Henry Miller and Oliver Jackson are occupying their new residences on Market Street. Col. Moore and Tommy Wyche, of the C. & A. Railroad office, Sundayed in Lima, Ohio. Mrs, Byron Thompson and daughter Susie, of Ft. Wayne, are the guests of Mrs. John Rout. Mr. and Mrs. M. P, Waich, Will Niblick and Dick Studabaker spent Sunday in Delphos. Miss Lulu Richardson, of Winchester, was visiting friends in the city a few days this week. Mrs. Oliver Fairfield, while drawing water from the cistern, from some cause stepped and fell upon the buck et, severely injuring herself. Miss Emma Neuenschwander who has been the guest of Miss Anua Barthel, of this place for the past two weeks returned to her home, Fort Wayne, on Wednesday. • City or no City? The query “city or no city" has been ringing in the ears of our people for sometime past, and was finally answered Tuesday. The vote to incorporate as a city was 225 for and 167 against, four voting blank. The total vote was 396, a light one considering the agitation and argument for and against the proposition. Our people have settled down to the inevitable and take the result good humoredly. The next thing in order will be a set of good men to administer the government in its new corporate capacity. Several men backed their opinion with money. It is safe to affirm the loosers have not that confidence in their judgement maniiested be.ore the official decision was rendered. Several ludricous mistakes occurred among intense partisans of “no city," who voted contrary to their sentiments by scratching their tickc ts wrong. Judge Bobo led off with city airs by coming out bright and early with his plug hat. John Welfly will follow suit. Will Dorwin indulged in a nickle shine. W. S. Congleton is to varnish his cane. The editor of The Democrat brushed his coat. Boy Burglar Captured. Sunday night the business room of Ulrick Dininger, was burglarized byforcing the entrance of the back window. There was no clue to the burglars, but the Marshal noticed Cyrus Andrews, a young gamin of fifteen, acting strangely under survielliance, consequently he determined to watch him. in the afternoon he concluded to take boarding with the Marshal, handing his gripsack to the latter's daughter for safekeeping. She noticed a harp protruding from the grip as the young man handed it to her, pulled it out, and commenced playing on it. and and was playing on it when her father came home to his supper. Inquiring of her how she came to have it, he was informed, which increased his suspicion. On examining the grip he found a lot of the goods that Mr. Diningcr discribed as missing, and which he afterward identified by his trade mark. The necessary papers were filed before Esq. Bailey, when he was taken into custody and pleading guilty was held to answer in the Circuit Court. Andrews also confessed to burglarizing J. W. Place’s room. According to his own statement he is a bad boy and will doubtless be sent to the House of Correction for juvenile offenders. The goods stolen were worth between forty and fifty dollars. Decatur, Ind., Ago. 15, 82. Mr. Editor: The use ol my name by the Greenbackers in connection with a county office, was unauthorized and without my knowledge or consent. I am not a candidate, never have been, i I don’t want an office, as I have ■ enough to do to attend to my legiti- , mate business. Yours, etc. J. A. Christen.

New Mexico Letter. Ft. Wingate, N. M. Aug. 3, 'B2. Editor Decatur Democrat Thinking perhaps, a few lines from this part of the country might ba interesting reading matter to the many readers of The Democrat, I take the liberty of sending you this letter. And should it be beneficial or interesting" to any "f. its readers, I assure you its missioi/will be completed. Ft. Wingate is rather pleasantly situated on the sic? of one of the foot-hills of the Mokion mountains. Is an eight com pany Post, and all the buildings necessary for such a Post, make it have the appearance of quite a little town. There are seven companies here at present, and every thing presents a lively appearance. We are surrounded on three sides by mountains, while in front of us is spread out a pretty little valley, where the wants of the cavalry horses are supplied, as far as pasture is concerned. A splendid spring of clear cold water—the only one for miles around—furnishes the garrison with all the water we need. The climate is delightful, although just a little too warm at times. The elevation is 7000 feet above sea level, which fact alone is enough to wWtrant a sufficiency of pure air. While as to sickness, there is scarcely any. Out of five companies and the band, we have only lost one man by sickness in the two years we have been stationed here. Gold and silver mining is carried on to a considerable extent a few miles from the Post. There are no doubt, very rich mines on the reservation, but it would do no one any good to open them up, for they would only be confiscated by Uncle Sam. The reservation extends five miles in every direction from the spring alluded to above, and encloses a very nice scope of country. New Mexico is, as a general thing, a waste and barren country. And the o is spots of it, which is inhabitable by no one except “greasers” and Indians. For the benefit of farmers who might possibly entertain thoughts of emigrating to New Mexico, tempted no doubt, by the glowing accounts of this country given by the different new railroad companies who have any amount of land to sell. I would say, agricultural pursuits are a dead letter The only place where farming could be made to pay, is along the Rio Grande, where plenty of rain may be had for irrigating purposes. But imagine some of our Indiana farmers watering their farms, as they do their cabbage plants, every stalk and plant. I think they would soon tire of it, and wish themselves back in Indiana again, where rain falls with a little more regularity. Since I left Decatur, I have found no place that suits me as well as the “Hoosier State.” Ranching is about the only business, at which there is much money made in this country. It takes capital to make money here, as well as in the States. Any one who thinks he can start on nothing, and come out with a fortune, is left. About the only citizens one sees, are men who have been promised three and four dollars per day for working on the new road, and free transportation. When they get them out here they pay them no more than two dollars per day and sometimes less. A great many quit but have to eventually go back to work, starve, or foot it to the States. On a recent trip to St. Johns, Arizona, we saw how the cowboys enjoy an occasional holiday, viz: riding through town, shooting in every direction, uttering yells at every jump that would do credit to an Indian. They killed four or five before one of their own nu I was shot, and three of them were captured and lynched the next morning. I thought it was getting pretty warm, but the citiz as took no more notice of it than it it was an every day occurrence. You can imagine how wa: m hearted, and what strong temperance people they are. when they hang a man for selling two drinks of forty rod whisky for twe ty-five cents. The next day twenty-five cents for one drink was the universal price all over town. The Democrat reaches me every Wednesday, and is a great help in passing the monotonous hours of garrison life. “H. A. G.” Base Ball Notes. George McConnell does the heavy betting for the home nine. The Decatur boys will play the Organ Factory nine, Thursday, August, 24th. and the Silver Eagles the 29th, and 30th. Both are Fort Wayne clubs. The Portland boys at as early a day as possible. Our boys are laboring under great difficulty in not being able to get any practice. Several of our neighboring clubs are importing base ball talent. Decatur relies entirely upon home talent. Manager Dent was unable to make arrangements for a game this week, either by going away to play or getting a visiting nine here. The Bluffton Invincibles would not not come to Decatur to play, as early as desirable. They finally agreed to play our boys on their grounds, on the 27th, which has not as yet been determined in consequence of ether games crowding us. An effort is being made to arrange for a game Tuesday next. The Bluffton juniors and Decatur juniors base ball clubs played at Decatur, Tuesday. The record shows the score ten to fifteen in favor of the Bluffton boys. Mr. Samuel Capp was umpire. We saw but three innings played and from what we saw, hia judgement was anything but faultless on both sides, our boys, however, claiming the lion’s share of his errors. The lawyers and doctors played a gai ■ of base ball last week in which the former were scooped by a score of eight to eighteen The lawyers claim it was not a fair scoop as the doctors had assistance from the druggists that should have been barred. The Democrat is of the opinion that the lawi yers objections were well taken.

A THOUSAND DOLLARS WANTlfil. Euclid C. Butler Falta Down mid Buretta JI In Watermellou mid Otherwise Damaged* Euclid C. Butler, of Van Wert county, Ohio, by his attorneys, Messrs Heller & Hooper, commenced a civil suit against the corporation of Decatur, on Monday last, claiming damage in the sum of SI,OOO, for which he demands judgement It seems th at on the 28th of July while on the way to the depot of the Toledo, Cincinnati <fc St. Louis railroad, carrying some grocery parcels and a watermellon, he claims to have fallen down in consequence of a defective sidewalk, burst his watcrmcllon and injured himself personally, alledging in his complaint that his damage was fifty dollars physicians bill and one hundred dollars that he e ould have earned but for his injuries.
