Several rain showers this week. Go to Kover’s Hall to morrow night. This is the last day of the Bluffton fair. The Petoskey excursionists returned Tuesday. The whole town is permeated with the smcH of fire. A number of children in the city have cholera infantum. A number of Decatur people were at Van Wert last Sunday. They say the campaign is opened, and “on to Richmond” is the cry. A number of our citizens will “take in” the Fort Wayne fair next week. The “Nameless club” will meet Saturday evening at the residence of D. 0. Jackson. The “Decaturs” will play the “Invincibles” of Bluffton, at this place next Tuesday afternoon. Henry Miller is taking some fine sand out of the sand bank he opened near the old Fornax Mill. Just think of it—one hundred trotting and running horses, at the great Northern Indiana Fair. The Great Northern Indiana Fair promises to be the largest and best •ver held in the State. Painting and glazing is in order along the scorched. row on the west side of Second street. There are a few men in town that are ready to wager that John Bailey, Esq., is the champion snorer. There are a few dogs running at large not ornamented with a tag. The constables should put on their specs. Circuit Court commences Monday. There is an unusually large docket and quite a number of important cases to dispose of. “Pay-day” came round this week on the C. &A. railroad. As a result the Marshal has been busy to keep the boys straight. The best base ball clubs in the State will play each day during the great Northern Indiana Fair held at Fort Wayne. John Crawford and Millen Burns purchased the Bogart lot in the burnt row, twenty feet, for $1,550. It is considered a bargain. Our Geneva correspondent sends us notes from that place this week. If he would be more regular in his efforts it would please us better. The ground has been very dry of late, materially interfering with the operations of the farmer in getting his ground ready for sowing wheat. Henry Miller, whose property is near the old Fornax Mills, has struck a vein of gravel of the first quality. The vein is about fifteen feet in depth. Let every farmer give one day to improving his mind in fine stock by attending the great Northern Indiana Fair. The finest cattle and sheep in jhe West will be there. A branch sewer was located in the alley between Front and Second, along the burnt row square. The object being to furnish drainage for the cellars of contemplated business houses. Mrs. Charley Miller deserves great credit for her amiable disposition. When her boarders leave without saying anything about the pay, she calmly turns round with a kind “good bye.” Delay not, but get ready to attend the best fair ever held in the State. Admission only twenty-nve cents, and all entries, except speed, free of charge. Seven thousand dollars in cash will be paid for premiums. There are and have been some eight or ten cases of scarlet fever in and around town. As it is contagious, great care should be observed in preventing children from coming in contact with those who are affected. Shaffer Bros, contracted with Soloman Linn, Wednesday, for the erec- ~ tion of a building 37x100, brick, two stories, to be completed by January Ist, 1883. This will be the first building erected in the burnt row and wjll make two good business rooms, which they will use for their business. Last Friday a young lad named Barton Bailey, of Monroe, was fooling with a revolver, which he accidentally dischaigcd. The ball struck him in the leg just above the knee, inflicting a dangerous and painful wound. The only satisfaction in a case of this kind is the fact, the carelessness of the boy hurt no one but himself. It is to be hoped his experience will prove valuable.

The question now before the people is, did Dorsey “soap” the jury? If I rest 1 mst, is a German proverb, the American version of which is, “ If I trust I bust.” The Rev. A. J. Reynolds, of Kendallville, Ind., will preach next Sabbath morning and evening at the Presbyterian church. All are invited. Joint discussion between candidates for State Senator at court room, Thursday evening, Sept. 28th. Everybody come out and hear the practical issues of Indiana discussed. The G. R. & I. railroad will sell tickets to Fort Wayne during the great Northern Indiana fair, September 25th to the 29th from all stations in Indiana, at one fare for the round trip. ■ C. T. Dorwin was on the ground almost as soon as it was light, the day after the fire, photographing the ruins. He took eight different views, all of which are for sale at his business room. The difficulty to obtain building material and the high prices at which it is held will prevent the erection of many new buildings in the burnt row this season. Extensivo preparations are being made to build early next season. The plus and minus of tho temper ance question, in its relation to the two political parties of the State, can be more correctly determined after the election than before. The affirmation by the Republican papers, that they alone are credited with the gains is a little too previous ! Last Saturday Samuel Evans, a lad of six years of age, was hanging on to a wagon at Monmouth. Having completed his ride he dropped to the ground, stubbed his toe, and fell, when a wheel went over one of his legs, breaking it. It was a dear ride for tho little fellow, and is another lesson for boys to be careful. Dr. Freeman set the limb and the boy is doing well. Last Saturday was an off day for It 8. Peterson and his family. Charley Miller broke a plow for him; Dora, one of his little girls, tore the top off his buggy in getting it out of the shed; a calf stepped on a pig’s leg and broke it; A. W. Me. Bollman broke his grind stone; and Johnny lost his watch in going to Monmouth—quite a chapter of accidents for one day. The managers of the Northern Indiana Fair believe in printer’s ink.— There is hardly a paper within fifty miles of Fort Wayne but what has something to say of the Fair and its attractions. The Democrat predicts that it will result in an attendance far exceeding the big Fair of last year, which left the management with a large surplus in bank. Friday the Decaturs went to Bluffton to play the Invincibles of that place. The editor accompanied them. It has been several years since we had visited Bluffton. Os course we paid our respects to the printing offices, Hanner, Chronicle, Times and Herald, and found the boys a genial set of fel lows. Bluffton has very much improved since we last saw the place, built up, spread out, with a marked improvement in business rooms and in the tasteful and varied architecture of its private cottages and residences. Down in the center of the town the old court house and surrounding offices look dingy by contrast. We understand the building of a new court house will be agitated in the near future The game of ball was called at half past two o’clock, and was remarkable for the large score, and many “muffs” of the Decaturs in the outfield. They have not played such a remarkable game this season. The boys were duly sober—did not drink a drop—but they said in the outfield it seemed to them two balls were coming and they could catch neither. But one fly was caught in the outfield during the game. The Invincibles did better, but their playing inside the diamond, base running and batting left them in the rear by a score of seventeen to twenty-one. Our boys beat, but did not deserve the game. It was certainly an “off day with them, but not sufficiently so to lose the game. The Bluffton boys will play the return game here next Tuesday, when we hope to see a good audience and a better game. Married. At the Presbyterian Church, Thursday evening, September 14, by the Rev. C. A. Kanouse, Mr. Leonard Luckey, to Miss Lucy Stone. After the ceremony there was a reception at the residence of the brides father, J. H. Stone. The presents were numerous and valuable, lhe young couple are on their wedding tour, visiting friends in Ohio. Died. —Saturday, Sept. 16, of cholera infantum, Harry, infant son and only child of Daniel W. and Anna Myers, aged nine months and five days. The funeral services were held at the residence of the parents, on Sab bath, at 4 o'clock p. m. in the presence of many friends. The parents have the sympathy of the community in this sad bereavement. $5.00 Reward.

The lesson consisted chiefly of a talk on the classification of words, classification of nouns, and the naming of the parts of speech of which a sentence may be composed. Miss Bolin then took up a short time on the subject, giving in brief her method of parsing nouns, and their modifications of properties in regular order, and illustrating her method by taking several acntcnecs, and parsing the nouns and giving their construction according to their position in the different sentences. Prof. Luckey then took up the subject of oral reading, first giving the aim and purpose of silent reading, and the definition of oralread ing, antt its aim and purpose. The relation and distinction between reading and conversation being etosely observed, the exercise was still continued by the quotation of stanr.v* of different poems which wore written by different authors. The chief object was to gather, ap prociate, understand and cnll tho most beautiful thoughts from the selections. Didactic and emotional reading were noticed briefly; also a part of the poem, “Rock Me to Sleep,” and closing the work of reading by giving a little of the domestic life of the author of the poem. After reading, the Institute adjourned for ten minutes. After adjournment the Institute was quietly called to order by the chairman; and in tho absence of Prof. Meyers, Prof. Walters took up the subject of Arithmetic and gave a lesson on tho subject of percentage. Although unexpectedly called upon to give the lesson, he took up tho work, showing us the relation between the terms, rate, rate per cent., amount and base, and carefully illustrating tho necessity of having a thorough knowledge of all that precedes the subject of percentage in order to understand its applications, and giving us an idea as to which might be the course of the inability to comprehend the subject. The next work was a lesson in drawing; but this being delayed until afternoon, Mrs. Kinsey, of Valparaiso, entertained the Institute by narrating a part of the history of her visit to Europe. This was not only amusing but full of animation almost supernatural, and in our imaginations were carried across the ocean to Europe. The Institute then adjourned to meet at 1:30 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION. Institute assembled at 1:30 p. m. After a song by the choir, a lesson in geography was given by Mrs. Kinsey, taking the subject as outlined and treating it with ability, pointing out to us many errors that may be made in teaching tho subject, and showing the necessity of a genural knowledge of geography. Prof. Meyers then proceeded with the subject of Pedagogics. A few preliminary remarks were given on the importance of recitation, after which he took up the different methode of teaching different subjects and illustrating their advantages and disadvantages. The lesson was well conducted and gave to us many thoughts of prime importance. The superintendent then talked for a short time on educational journals, after which the Institute adjourned for Cftenn minutes. After intermission the Institute came to order. Previous to this a committee on resolutions was formed, consisting of the following persons : Prof. Myers, Mrs. Congleton, Miss Osborne Myrta Numbers, Mr. Hocker, G. W. Musser and Joel Welty,'Prof. Myers acting as president of tho committee. Mrs. Kinsoy then gave a short lesson on history, after which she expressed her pleasure of meeting with the Institute. A lesson on prospective drawing was then given by L. W. A. Luckey, who showed us what a primary lesson in drawing should consist, and illustrated the difference between perpendicular and vertical lines. He also gave a few thoughts upon the position of students when drawing. Before adjournment the roll was called. Number of ladies present, 42: number of gentlemen, 82; entire enrollment, 124. The Institute then adjourned to meet at 7:3< p. m. EVENING SESSION. Institute met at 7:3b. After singing and player Mrs. Kinsey, of Valparaiso, was introduced to the audience. Quite a number desiring a more extended history of her visit to Europe, she omitted the lecture. This was given quite extensively and seemed entertaining to all. At the close of her talk, a motion was made that the Institute tender their thanks to Mrs. Kinsey for her benevolent work while with us. The motion was placed before the Institute and unanimously carried, Mrs. Kinsey receiving our ♦hanks as well as a hearty applaud The Institute tlen adjourned to meet at 9 a. in. Thursday morning. FOURTH DAY—SEPTEMBER 7, 1882. After several days labor the Institute assembled Thursday morning at 9 a. in. with a» bright prospects as though it were the first day, all seeming to be inspired with new vigor and ready for work.’’' The opening exercises were conducted by Rev. M. M. Gleason, reading as a scripture lesson the 12th chapter es Proverbs. After the exercises the Institute listened to the calling of the roll. The minutes were then road and adopted. Prof. Walters then gave a lesson in language, presenting the subject to the Institute as he would to a class. The subject taken for a lesson was that of the verb. He gave the essential characteristics of the verb, desecration of the term, kind of verbs, and classes of verbs with respect to form, nature and use. Voice was considered the prin - oipal property of the verb. A general discus - sion followed upon the subject of Infinitives, after which a lessen on ocean tides was given by Mr. Brothers. Ho gave a very excellent lesson on the subject. The thorough manner in which the subject was treated manifested the ability of the speaker. Several important questions were then assigned for discussion after intermission. The Institute then adjourned to meet again in ten minutes. After adjournment Cyrus IF. Smith,on I Indianapolis, talked for a short time ot ! the introduction of text books that have I been adopted by the County Board of Education. tie gave the exchange and introductory’ rates, and showel the necessity of teachers living by the law; as well as giving an idea as to bow these books may be introduced into the different schools. Tie next hour was devoted to a lesson in drawiig. Owing to a little dissatisfaction with regard to some definitions, a part of the preceding lesson was reviewed, after which the subject was taken up as out--lined. The definition of certain terms were required, after which the teacher proceeded to sketch a square; and also through the points of division to sketch a circle. After the lesson in drawing the Institute adjourned to meet at 1:15 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION.

Every dealer in cigars praises his brands to be the best in the market. Some have the idea that cigars made in distant cities must be superior to the home made. This is entirely a false idea, and will never be adopted by smokers who are able to form a fair judgement from their own experience. Try the new and improved Brands at my cigar store and be your own judge. I have also on hand a good assortment of fine smoking Tobaccoes Cigarette, Fine-Cut and Plug chewing, Pipes etc. . No. 22, ts.
