Sam Henry Post, No. 65,’ G. A. R., desire a full attendance at their next regular meeting, one veek from next Saturday night. Important business will be considered. Three lledempti mists, Fathers Luthy, (look and Enright, have been laboring with the Catholic Church of this place, commencing Sunday. They will continue until soma time next week. During this week the services have been in English; next week they will be in German. They have had large congregations during their stay. The County Board of Education held their semi-annual mooting at the office of the County Superintendent, Tuesday, September Ist. The school book firms were generally represented at the meeting, and the Board took action in regard to text books for the common schools of the county, adopting the following: Sheldon’s series of readers ; Patterson’s speller ; Anderson’s U. 8. history; and Harvey's revised grammar. Thursday a young son of Horace Porter caught hold of the tongue of a reaper Ini vhed behing a wagon as it was passing down Second street. His hold slipped, when he fell to the ground, one of the wheels passing over his hip and legs. The little fellow was terribly freightened and some hurt, but not seriously. It ought to be a warning to him and Other boys to be careful I<jw they attempt to take rides of that kind. There was a large attendance at the Christian Church to witness the dedication services, conducted by Rev. L. L. Carpenter, who preached an able and interesting discourse. The indebtedness of the church, including back payments for the church property and repairs, was SSOO. Os this sum, S4OO was raised in the' congregation, and the other SIOO, pledged by leading members. They desire to return thanks for the aid. they received from the people outside of the membership. Mrs. John Shirey was agreeably surprised on Monday. The occasion was the sixty-first anniversary of her birth. A large party of her friends assembled at J. P. Quinn’s, where they were met by the K. of P. band and proceeded to her residence. Her guests were wholly unexpected and the fact that it was her birth day had been overlooked. A nice spread was set out, and the occasion was a pleasant time to all. Quite a number of valuable presents were received. There was no remonstrances against the application to sell liquors. All received lincenses exeept Eli Zimmerman. It was supposed that he was making application in behalf of John Tonnellier, which was denied by the parties interested. But it has since leaked out that Tonnellier was to give Zimmerman five hundred dollars for the benefit of his application. Zimmerman fearing that he might get more trouble than he had bargained for, weakened at the last moment, and it is thought by knowing ones that he sought that testimony that would defeat his application and was successful.

The Diamond Field. The first game ot the week was between the skeletons and the fat men, ■in response to a challenge from the former over their defeat of the week previous. It was the third game of the series, and as each side had been credited with a game, the excitement was immense upon the part of the fat men and intense upon that of the lean. The game was umpired by 11. Shirey and the last half by W. G. Spencer, Jr. neither of them “fat bucks. The skeletons went to bat first and were retired after three runs. The “fat bucks, ’ just to show what they could do, took six runs and quit. The second inning the leans were retired after making two runs. The fat men took four. In the third inning the bucks gave them ten and the bucks took two. The fourth inning the lean men were credited with nine runs and the fat men two. In the fifth inning the lean men made ten runs, which left the score fourteen to thirty-four—-twenty to tie the game. The skeletons considered the game their own and 1 went whizzing around the diamond like buz saws. In fact, their bones rat- 1 tied so that the ladies thought the grass was full of rattlesnakes, which 1 caused them to stampede, everyone 1 leaving to a man, perhaps u would 1 have been better to say woman. Skel- 1 eton Phillips and Place’s clarion voices rang out, as they marshalled their ! forces for the final coup de grace. The “fat bucks” faced the pitcher with a do or die air and with blood-shot eyes. 1 They batted the balls to “nobody 1 there” and went prancing around the bases like majestic Jumbos, until 1 twenty-one runs were made and two out, when the skeletons fled the field, vanishing like ghosts. They have not 1 been seen or heard from since. It docs 1 not take much of a hole to hide them. 1 We do not know what excuse they will frame for their defeat, when they ‘ come out, but it will not be because of a “fat buck umpire this time. The 1 fat men kept on batting imaginary balls and making imaginary runs until some seven hundred runs were made, when they run down. You can’t make ■ a skeleton believe the fat men have “no wind” now. The game between the Eurekas, of Vian Wert and the Decaturs, Tuesday, was the best fielding game played on the ground this season. Both clubs j had hard work at the bat, and safe hits to first were the exception. The home team played under serious disadvantages, caused by a misunderstanding with Manager Dent, which ended ( in his resignation. This caused some ( changes in the the position of men and ( resulted in bringing Frank France from the field to pitch, where he did some effective work. The following ( is the score. ( EUREKAS. R.

The Van Wcrts hive a “Jumbo.” Fred France caught after the second i inning. Our boys had hard work to bat Bickford. Geo. McConnell is talked of for the newly appointed manager for the “Decaturs.” On the eighth inning the score stood ten to four in favor of the “Decaturs." The pitcher for the Van Werts was the best that has played on our ground this year. There was a nice delegation of the young people of V>an Wert over to witness the game. The K. of P. Band played for the match game between the Van Wert and Decatur clnbs, Tuesday. In the evening there was a reception given at Kover’s Hall, which was pretty generally attended by our young people including the visitors. The recently organized Decatur Greys played theirsecondgame with the Portland Clippers, Wednesday, with a score of 15 to 18 in favor of the Clippers. Ten innings were played. Two I of their men were off, and their places were supplied by two of the Decatur club. The boys desire The Democrat to return their thanks io the Portland people for their courteous treatment while on the ball ground. The generous cheering and words of encouragement the people gave them, whether there was occasion for it or not, show s I that the Portland folks appreciate | base ball. Since their return all the 1 base ball element here, desire another •

match to be played at an early day. And if it should be arranged, Decatur’s base ball patrons will go down en masse, to learn Portland people 's man ners on the base ball ground. The boys say no one eculd enjoy or appreciate their chivalrous cheers, until they have heard them when at their best. They will go down not to sec the game, but to hearthem cheer. County Institute. The Adams County Teacher s Insti tute convened at the public school house, Decatur, Monday, September 4, with Superintendent Luckey in the chair. After the opening exercises of singing and prayer, the Institute proceeded to organize by electing Miss Lucy Young, Miss Carry Blackburn and Frank Hocker recording secretaries; Mrs. A. F. Simpson and J. C. F. Galbreath reporting secretaries. Professor W. J. Myers then was introduced to the institute, ami gave a very tintcresting and instructive lesson on primary arithmetic, taking numeration, addition and subtraction for his lesson, in which he showed to the institute that it was just as easy to teach a pupil numeration, addition and subtraction all together as separately, first teaching the i lea of enumeration by objects and using the same to illustrate addition and subtraction. Supt. Luckey then came forward and in a short speech urged very strongly the necessity of unity in our work as teachers of Adams county. Mr. Henry Lankanaw then gave an object lesson, taking for his subject the tumbler, which was very interesting. The institute then adjourned to meet at 1:30 p. m. Afternoon session. The subject after noon, geography, assigned to Prof. White; he not being : present, was taken up by Mr. Brothers und followed by Mrs. Simpson and Miss Bolin, W. 11. McConuehey, A. F. Simpson and J. C. F. Galbreath. The next subject was Pedagogics, taken up and ably handled by Pro/. W. J. Myers. Reccss fifteen minutes. Roll called. Present, 61 males and 29 females. The subject of history was taken up by G. W. Peterson and followed by Walters, Galbreath and Frisiuger, after which followed a general discussion of English and American literature, in which all participated. Institute then adjourned to meet in the court-room at 7:30 p. m. Second day, Tuesday, Sept. sth. Institute called to order at 9 a. m. After the usual opening, exercises of singing and prayer. The subjec t of grammar was taken up and discussed at length, by Profs. Walters and Suman. in which they urged the necessity of practical grammar, and the necessity of a teacher being careful in his language, as the children will model after the teacher. Superintendent Luckey then gave a very interesting as well as instructive lesson on reading, taking for his lesson, the Eighth Brigade. Prof. W. J. Myers then took up the Subject of arithmetic. He said in all mathematical problems they will prove themselves by reversing the operation, hence the necessity of teaching pupil to prove all problems. The person to whom drawing had been assigned not being present, Mr. Brothers came forward and talked a half-hour on the ocean tide. Institute adjourned to meet at 1:30 p. m. Afternoon session. Object lesson, by Mr. Lankanaw ; taking for his subject a glass of water. Prof. W. J. Myers then took up I the subject of Pedagogics, and in a : forty-five minute’s speech, said the 1 chief requisites for a teacher are, common sense, enthusiasm, tact and good habits. Recess 15 minutes. Roll call ; 73 males, 40 females. After recess the subject of history was discussed by Peterson and Luckey. Institute adjourned to meet at 7:30 p. m. THE address. The following is a synopsis of Rev. 1 M. M. Gleason’s Monday evening address. Subject.—The relation of the common school to the American citizen: The dignity of a nation depends upon the dignity of her citizens. In Or iental countries a few men form the character of their respective nations. A monarchy or empire, or oligarchy, can stand on the intelligence of the few, but a republic must have the masses educated. The base of an empire or monarchy is the judgment, wisdom and intelligence of one man; but the base of a republic is the people, here the perpetuity of a republic depends upon the education and wisdom of her people. Common schools are the only medium i through which the masses can be reached with education. Pericles, the greatest statesman Greece ever produced, undertook to establish and make permanent a republic, but he failed because he had the ignorance of the masses, and the division of the ; few educated to contend with. I The Greek learning was confined to I the academies. They had no system i of common schools as we have. Rome ■ between the reign of King Tarquin I and the Punic wars, struggled for a

republic, but like Greece failed. The reign of Consuls was little better than the reign of Kings. The Roman people had no system of common schools, hence could not build a permanent re- ' public on the intelligence of her people. The republic of Switzerland and the republics of South America are weak, compared with ours, because they have no good method of diffusing knowledge to the masses. Wc mention a few specifications : wherein common schools should look to the perfection of her citizens : First—The teacher should have before him, or her, the ideal citizen in all his attitudes. A college president judges of the perfection of the common school of the different states, friltn the habi'B, mentally and morally, of the students that come to college. Second—The teacher should develop!: i.Jie latent forces of the mind. The philosophy of success is superior to all others, because it developed the soul life. Emanuel Kent gave Germany her superior intellectual life, the philosophy, of the inate ideas, and sought their developement. He taught that the mind poisessed spontaneity, that independent of the senses man could think originally. The mind and soul must be stirred. Third—The teacher must be possessed with an excelsior; the past must be considered as a comparative failure, he must be drawn by the magic of the future, achieve the unachieved, explore the unexplored, know the unknown. Child Bitten by a Dog. Last week a little girl of this place who is living with Thomas Woodruff, while on a visit to Monroe, was sent on an errand to Jacob Martz's. On reaching the house her summons failed to arouse anyone, when she turned to leave, supposing no one at home. This aroused a small dog which commenced barking furiously and frightened the child, who commenced running to escape the danger. A large New Foundland dog just at this time appeared on the scene, rushed upon the child, threw her down, seized her by the hip and commenced shaking her as if she had been a midget. Iler outcries aroused a sleeping boy who was in the house, who took the dogs away und probably saved her life. The little girl was terribly frighted*! an I severely bitten by t e dog, but wis considerably protected by her clothing, so that her injuries were not so great as would be supposed from t e circumstances. She was quite badly hurt and Was for several days feverish, nervous and prostrated, but is now doing well. Great dogs are too often dangerous at the wrong 4ime, and often, as in the present case do more harm than good. Note. The above should have appeared last week. Died. Mrs. M. J. Smith, wife of Mr. Job Smith, cf Wabash township, and ! daughter of D. M. and N. Kerr, September 4th, 1882, aged 25 years, 7 months and 5 days. She leaves a husband and two children, father and mother and four brothers, with a large circle of mourn ing friends. She was kind, gentle, and true, and her loss is deeply felt by all who knew j her. She died a tranquil death, as she had lived a peaceful life. The funeral services were conductci by Rev. M. M. Gleason, of Decatur. A Card. We were very favorably surprised on last Monday evening by about thirty children, besides a number of older ones, who manifested their good will and determination not to see us suffer with hunger, by loading our table with numerable articles of groceries and provisions, among which we found “The preachers great delight” viz. a live chicken which is now being fattened for future use. Many thanks to the donors. J. M. and S. C. Dustman. Kellog’s Columbian Oil is a powerful remedy, which can be taken inter- ; nally as well as externally by the tenderes't infant.
