Our neighbors in different places are complaining ofhorse thieves plying their vocation in their midst. This county for a considerable period has been remarkably free from these knights of the road. The directors of the new NorthWestern Base Ball League meet at Fort Wayne, December the 6th, for the purpose of completing their organization. They represent some of the wealthiest and most successful business men of their respective cities. To the Afflicted : All persons who are afflicted with any disease, are requested to call on Dr. Barn. He can tell your disease without asking any questions, also it you can be cured.

A convention of the M omen s Christian Temperance Union will _ be held in Decatur, on Wednesday, Noy. 29, 1882, for the purpose of organizing a County Union. It is very desirable that as many ladies from the different parts of the county be pres ent, as possible. Let each township be represented. Exercises will begin 2 o’clock, p. m. A lecture in the evening by Mrs. Wells, vice-president of the state at large. John Welfley was forty-six years old, Monday. He brought Katie home after closing his business, and just as he was about to start down town to see “some of the boys” he was sent into the parlor upon some excuse. It was dark in there. While he was fooling around he was surrounded, seized and made a prisoner. John did not get to “see the boys.” Mrs. Welfley had prepared for all that in a way that was surprising to him, for the boys had come to see him and Mrs. Welfley had made the necessary preparations for them to enjoy themselves.

Vennor gives us warning to get I ready for exceeding cold weather about the close of the year. Thursday last the first gravel from the Geneva Gravel pit was received at this place for the C. & A. railroad. The Methodist folks have been holding a protracted meeting during the week. Services only at night. Our timber men are supplicating for a long cold winter. It looks, for the present, as if the majority were against them. The Marshal’s little bastile around the corner, continues to be one of the enforced popular institutions of Decatur. The Mica used in stores can be read ily cleaned with diluted vinegar. If the coloring matter is not detatched readily, let i. soak a short time. Young America will reinforce the Sunday Schools about this time, so that he will be able to “stand in” with the Christmas tree distribution. A new bank is being incorporated at Fort Mayne, with J. D. Nuttman sen., J. D. Nuttman, jr. and Oliver Hanna as principal stock holders. It is announced that Prof. Houser, who has been lecturing at this place this week, recently purchased $<5,000 in Confederate bonds as a speculation. The passenger equipment of the Chicago & Atlantic road is complete in all its appointments and it is said will be unexcelled by any road in or out of Chicago. Advertisements are the straws which point the direction of the trade winds. But the advertisement trade winds blow from the same direction the year through. It is said there are plenty of deer in Paulding, but the woods are so thick with underbrush and the game so wary that it is difficult to get a satisfactory shot. There was not an unusual large number of people in Decatur, Saturday, but our merchants report a konmino- trule el.-i imino it. one among the best business days. A party of hunters from Ceylon, this county passed through this place Wednesday, with the carcasses of three deer which they bad killed in the woods of Paulding. The Fort Wayne Gazette claims that Evangelist Davis, who has been working that place for some time, with a partiality for young sisters, is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” There was a little war between Ireland and Sweden last Thursday, up about the train boarding house. The Marshal was called upon to make peace between the belligerants Decatur has so far this season had but few amusements, Kover's Hall has not been doing any business to speak of. Church sociables do not seem to be yet in full blast. And private socials arc among the things that were. The seventeenth session of the Ft. Wayne District Conference, of the M. E. church, convenes at Auburn, Ind., December 4th., and will be in session three days. Rev. M. A. Teague is down on the program, subject : “Should the Pastoral Term be Extended in the Methodist Epispocal church.’ ' “Do hogs pay ?” asks one of our cdI itorial brethren, whose work is to solve agricultural and such problems. Not to any great extent, dear brother They attend church month after month v.*- - > J . k-»l r -.0aa,., fhn preacher, don t pay. lhat is, hogs don’t. They take a newspaper and read it till at least three new pairs of spectacles are worn out, yet don t pay. They borrow all manner ot things from their neighbors, but they don t pay They live in the vicinity of free lunch stands, but don t pay. The production of pork is often profitable to those engaged therein, but hogs don t pay.' —Ex. Just as the C. & A. railroad is about completed through this place, Bluffton is • sighing over the B & U. road, which will never be built, and never do them any good if it was. White elephants don’t pay. —Decatur Democrat.

Now, Bro. Hill, do you make pretentions to prophetic honors ? If so, you are badly “inspired." The B. & U. road will be built, and it will extend to Chicago, thus giving us as good an j outlet east and west as does the C. A A. Besides, remember that it Decatur had a thousand railroads you could never have a town, from the fact that Bluffton and Fort Wayne are too close for people to attempt to build up a city in the swamps of the St. Marys. — Bluffton Banner. We have learned our error. The B. & U. railroad is to be extended from Chicago to the North pole via. of Sims' hole. The people of the “city of the saints" think they can get up a corner onh—s and freeze out the d—l. Approved Extortion. An exchange says : Hugging parties, for the benefit of churches, are all the rage in some of the southern counties in this State. The price ranks as follows and is given to the church fund : “Girls under 15, 25 I cents for a hug of two minutes; from 16 to 20 years of age, 50 cents; from 20 to 25, 75 cents; another man s wife $1.00; widows, according to looks from 10 cents to $2; grass widows, few offered but in active demand; old maids, 3 cents a piece or two for a niekle, and no limit of time.

Luckey, Sup’t. Monroe Township Institute. The last Institute of Monroe township was held at school No. 5, November 16th. All the teachers were present. Teaching in the forenoon by Myrta Numbers. Afternoon’s work began, by Mr. Luckey acting as chairman. On motion, Anna Christen was chosen as secretary. First subject was criticism of the forenoon’s work. Mr. I‘. Jacket opened the discussion, commending the teaching, discipline, and appearance of the school room, after which all participated. While not all agreed with her in matter, method, discipline and grading, the most seemed to be well pleased with the work. Mr. Long, the trustee, having made a few remarks, the Superintendent carefully criticised the forenoon's work, and gave a lesson in numbers to the little folks, illustrating the Grube Method. He then gave a lesson in Philosophy, which might have been more interesting had the lesson been better prepared. On motion ti.e Institute adjourned to meet December 16, at the same place. * #

IDAHO LETTER. —„ A Decatur Boys’ Description of the Geysers of the National Park. Dear Brother.—ln my last letter to you I promised that in my next I would give you an account of our trip to the Yellowstone country, which I will now endeavor to do. In doing so, however, 1 must confess my inability to do it justice, as 1 can but give a superficial account or description of what the original presents. Our first days march from home was but fifteen miles, and on the second we arrived at a small town on the Utah & Northern railroad, called Eagle Rock, where we halted and took a rest for one day. On the third day we reached a point on Snake river, and enjoyed a day of excellent fishing—catching as many as two hundred pounds of the choicest trout that has ever been my fortune to see; some weighing as much as five pounds. After breaking eamp here, our journey to the National Park commenced in earnest. “Beaver Dick," an old time scout of the Teuton Basin, who has been famil iar with this country and Montana, for upwards of twenty years, accompanied us from here to the Park, as guide. Here we pass along the foot of a low range of mountains, with an occasional high peak covered with snow. Numerous small streams cross the plain and are filled with choicest of salmon trout. Along the line can be seen magnificent groves of pine and aspen, grassy parks and meadows. About fifty miles out from Snake river, we came to Henry’s Fork, a tributary to the Snake, which is about 200 feet wide and about two feet deep, with a strong current, and beautiful gravely bottom. We follow up this stream, crossing it several times until we reach its source—Henry Lake. This lake is a beautiful sheet of water, two and a half miles wide, and three miles long, and in close proximity to the Rocky Mountains. We saw elk, deer and aptelonc. within easv rancro and cL»nu of bear and beaver are frequently seen On leaving the lake we enter the “Fy ghee Pass”, and cross to the bead waters of the Madison river. The scenery along this river surpasses anything that I have ever seen. As we pass along parks, groves and mountains are clothed with fine trees and luxuriant underwood, and the gifts of bounteous nature never ceases to be inviting. Here we begin to climb over the lower range of mountains forming the rim of the geyser basin —the distance being about fifteen miles across, and affording us a full view of the lower geysers, some of which were in operation or play. Before proceeding further, I will give you an idea of what constitutes a geyser. A geyser may be defined as a periodically eruptive spring and are found only in a few places on the globe. While here I witnessed an eruption of the Giantess geyser. It throws a steady stream for about one hour, ten feet in diamater and from sixty to eighty feet high. The water has a variety of beautiful colors. The “Queen's Laundry" is the most beautiful terrace-forming spring in the "Fire Hole” region. It is an immense fountain of boiling water, flowing from an orfice thirty by fifty feet. As it flows down the side of the mountain it for ns beautiful terraces and bathing pools.the deepest about eight feet. Traces of iron and other minerals tint the formation with their own peculiar coloring in bands of unparallelled beauty. Here the bather can select any ucSuoa temperature in the numerous pools, and as for ren ovating clothes, (here is no patent machinery that can equal it, and all without labor or waste of time. Limbs and trunks of trees in the water are speedily encrusted and made beautiful specimens. We spent several cays here collecting such as were novel to us, but being illy prepared to pack them so as to convey them home safely, we contented ourselves with but a very few. Among the specimens collected here, there is one worthy of mention, and consists of the base of a petrified sage bush, about eight inches long. Surrounding the upper portion of this petrification, is a piece of a newspaper, evidently carried into the sp-ing by wind and lodged on this branch and petrified, and the words ‘■From’ Philadelphia,” can be distinctsecn and read. On leaving this romantic place, we visited what ia callled “Hells Half Acre.” There is a vast accumulation of silica , flint, covering over forty acres, and a hill over fifty feet high, near the “Fire Hole" on the summit of the hill is the largest spring of boiling water in the park. It is nearly circular and covers about one acre, and said to have been sounded to the depth of several hundred sett without finding bottom. It is in a constant state of ebilution, I and uniformly overflows, so that there is no true rim, but flowing down the declevity a succession of highly ornaI mental steps are formed, from five to fifteen inches high. The water is of almost transparent cleaness, and the ‘ walls are brilliantly colored. It is remarkable how one stream of cold waiter and another of warm or boiling, ‘ can flow from the same rocks, and within two feet of each other. The valleys i hereabouts have small grassy parks, alternating with groves of pine, balsam and aspen. A large hotel capable of I accommodating 200 people, is situated

at the foot of the mountain, and tourists from all parts of the globe are here, sight seeing and gathering specimens. The Yellow stone river is also a wonderful curiosity, being about 100 feet wide, by 20 feet deep, and flowing through a ravine whose sides are from 1000 to 1,300 feet from the water, aud continue so for several miles, making it appear like a vast tunnel. There abound in this stream same very fine salmon trout, weighing from one to five pounds each, and can be caught with hook and line as fast as the motion of the fisherman will permit; They are, hoever, unpalatable, as worms, resembling the tape worm, and from five to eight inches long, and the size of wrapping twine, are embeded in the flesh along the backbone. We also ascended Mount Washburn, which has an altitude of 15,000 feet above sea level, and from which one can observe the country surrounding for a distance of at least one hundred miles. On the summit of this mountain is where we discovered a ledge of onyx, specimens of which 1 send you with the others from the Geysers. 1 could enumerate a thousand other wonderful attractions that this spot of nature contains, but as I have fatigued your patience greatly already, I will “Hold Enough.”

A Mistake. Last September, Clerk Blackburn issued a license to Joseph Martin, a Bluffton boy, to marry one Lavana Sheldon. The license was returned a few days since with Lavana’s name struck out and Louisa Coffelt's name inserted instead, accompanied with the certificate of Esq. J. H. Runyon, certifying that he had united the aforesaid Joseph Martin to Louisa Coffelt. Underneath the names of the two women this legend appears : “Mistake." And there is no doubt about there being a mistake somewhere. But who made it and what the consequence will be,and who will it fall uppon, present and remote, arc the suggestive queries, which The Democrat

Produce Market. Within a short time wheat has reached the lowest price for two years. Large crops the world over is the cause of the drop. \\ ith the present low prices there seems no desire to speculate in futures. Speculators in the large grain centers in the face of present circumstances, no longer pretend to control the market. The foreign consumer, the law of supply and demand, are the real forces that have fixed the present prices. With the low prices prevailing, the value of our imports is only about two-thirds as great as at the corresponding time last year. In corn and provisions it is only about one-fifth of what it was at this time last year. And cotton also feels the depression. Speculators are at sea in regard to futures. Literary.
