The toy pistol is about as dangerous as the Krupp gun. Racing was one of the laughable features at the rink Tuesday night. Beautiful nights for star-gazing, is remarked by lovers of the beautiful. A number of our young ladies have organised a Shakespeare reading club. People are gradually sttling down to business, after the holiday festivities. The orange-band eight were the liveliest crowd of gentlemen who made New Year calls. It is dangerous to one’s reputation for truth and veracity to prognosticate the weather these times. Niblick, Crawford 4 Sons, and John Weifley adopted the cash system the Ist of January 'B3. Quite a number of our young folks attended a hop at Uncle Billy McLaughlin’s Wednesday night. W. G. Spencer & Son are giving their business room a general overhauling, kalsomining etc., which will greatly improve its appearance. The Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad have reduced the fare on their road to three cents per mile, and round trip tickets ten per cent, on previous rates. The Sabbath School scholars of Mrs Tena Vail, called upon her Wednesday afternoon with tokens of their kind regard, and were handsomely en tertained by their teacher. Sam Henry Post, G. A. R., did not install their officers Wednesday night. One was sick, and another absent, and the mustering officer not appearing, are some of the reasons why. This is house cleaning week over on the public square. John Edwards and Lou. Corbin are giving the county offices a coating of alabastine or some other kind of whitewash. The customary watch-meeting at the M. E. Church, New Year's Eve, was not held. It was submitted to a vote of the coneregation and the question negatived by a large majority. The church social at the Presbyterian parsonage last Thursday evening, was a success financially and otherwise. It was spoken of as being the pleasantest social event of the season. D. M. Luttrell will give a grand entertainment of vocal music at the Baptist Church, Monmouth, on the evening of January 13th. Exercises will commence at 7p. m. Admission, 10cSome of the soldier boys wish the Democrat to agitatate a reunion of the 89th Indiana at this place, on the 18th of May next, the anniversary of the battle of Yellow Bayou or Dead Oaks. Yesterday morning, John Baker, engineer in Hart’s mill, while attempting to put on a belt, was caught, and received a cempound fractuie of the left fore arm. Dr. Freeman attended him. People do not have to come to town and stay over night to get their grists gronnd. Decatur has three good mills all of which have lately added to their facilities for grinding. The old days of waiting your turn are passed. The Democrat force dined at the Burt House New Year day. Dick had an extensive and excellent bill of fare for the occasion. It was one of the best, if not the best dinner ever set before the guests of that hostelrie. The following officers have been elected and installed in St. Marys Lodge, I. O. O. F., No. 167: Frank Crawford, Noble Grand; W. G. Spencer jr., Vice Grand: J. A. Christen, Recording Secretary; Victors 8. Reed, Permanent Secretary. Some fellow kissed his girl mors than be ought to have done consistent with the kalsomine on her face. The result was he was taken for a ghost on his way home. “Darn it,” said he, “who would have thought it,” and we thought so too. The crowd of drunks before the Mayor is getting small and beautifully less of late. It is not so much the result of “swearing off” as the shutting down upon reckless drinking and the disappearance of a temporary element in the community who have folded their tents, etc. A. McCann, the stock buyer, has been suffering with a carbuncle on his neck for some time past, during a portion of which he has been confined to his bed, and his attending physicians fear pyemia of the blood, and have doubts about his recovery. Later : Mr. McCann expired Thursday afternoon.

More snow. Hunt rabbits. Our Opera House. Did you go calling ? Get out your cutters. Decatur has two skating rinks. Tub Democrat is late this week. Dr. Schrock has returned from Ohio. Mike McGriff is at Michigan City. Notice change in Niblick, Crawford 4 Sons “ad” this week. Poultry has commanded high prices this fall and winter. Corn brings a much better price than wheat this season. Eiting’s have placed a new street lamp on the Odd Fellow's corner. Elkhart county has been enjoying the luxury of two boards of ccmmissioners. D. M. Goodsell came very near catching a New Year boy—as near as Tuesday. The members of the Encampment, I. O. O. F. will please turn out to-night for installation of officers. The “Decatur's Best” is the best 10c cigar in the city. It can be found at Aug. Krechter's cigar store. It is a poor business for a man to “borrow all the trouble” he can and then try to exorcise it by filling himself with booze. The members of the Knights of Pythias Lodge are requested to be at their hall this evening, for the installation of officers. Captain Oliver Fairfield celebrated his 89th birthday, January Ist. The old gentleman is yet quite hale and hearty for his age. Rev. J. M. Dustman commenced a protracted meeting at the Evangelical church last Friday evening. It will be continued indefinitely. There is a young man in this place who ought to be ashamed of himself. He professes to know why the girls wear such large bustles when they go roller skating. “He who betrays another's secret because he has quarrelled with him was never worthy of the name of friend. A breach of kindness will not justify a breach of trust.” Will Reed, that popular hotel man, formerly proprietor of the Meyer House, Fort Wayne, has recently purchased the Robeson House, and is running it in first class style. The Daily News, aged one month, laid down its young life and peacefully expired, last Saturday, We know it is all right with the Newt for it went to prepare a place for us. The Young Ladies’ Society of the Catholic Church gave an oyster supper at Columbus Hall, Tuesday night, which was extensively patronised. All report a pleasant time. Roller skating is an attractive feature of the town during the holidays. Kover’s Hall and the new building of Shafer Bros, have been used for skating rinks and both have been well patronised. Joe Colchin celebrated his twentyfirst birthday New Years night, or rather his friends did for him, surprising the young man completely. There were some fifteen or twenty of his friends engaged in the business. The old Citizens' Bank building is to be torn down in the spring. Two business rooms will be built on the site. One of them will be occupied by A. R. Pearce, when completed. The Democrat knows of a wedding spoiled. There is an awful amount of green-eyed jealousy connected with the case. Nothing further will be disclosed, because it is not fair to deprive the over curious of occupation. The Traveler's Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn., have sent to the press of the country, a beautiful picture, containing an accurate photographic group of the representive editors of the country. The one we received is prized above anything that has come to our table for many a-day. The probabilities are that 1883 will be a remarkable one in the growth and development of Decatur. The old burnt district will be rebuilt, besides other additions to the business rooms of the place. Besides which there will be the usual number of dwellings. Mechanics and general laborers will have no difficulty in finding employment during the next year. The cutter brigade were out in force Wednesday, bringing rigs from several of the livery stables. There was not snow enough in the roads for sleighing, consequently a track was improvised in Zimmerman's pasture lot east of town, where the brigade enjoyed themselves for a couple of hours, imagining they were either going somewhere or coming back. Miss Annie Lewis, on Sabbath last, was presented by the Sabbath School class of young men, at the Evangelical Church, with a valuable and handsomely bound volume of poems, entitled “A Thousand and One Gems,” and from the Sabbath School of said church, a considerable sum of money, for services rendered it. She was also made the recipient of a handsome Autograph Album presented her by her class of young ladies in the Presbyterian Sabbath School.

Not a Case of ‘'Swearing Off.” When 'B3 was young and in its swaddling clothes, in fact as near as may be about the moment of its birth, Adam Mason and Hester A Houdeshell were united in marriage, at the residence of Sheriff McGriff, by Rev. Dustman. They had come all the way from Geneva for that express purpose, and having heard of the truthfulness of the Court House clock relied upon that for accuracy, which is a feather in janitor Tom Shield’s cap. They were not going to be beat in this neck of woods. They were determined te be the first couple married in 'B3. One of our young men who would be a member of the Young Men's Christian Association, if we had such an organization in Decatur, accosted Mr. Mason, (who by the way had just taken upon himself the vow to “love and cherish” for the third time,) as he was taking in the sights of the town the next morning, and as he, the young man aforesaid, had just “sworn off” he was very anxious that all the world should do likewise and the groom in this case in particular. The Democrat cannot give the argument that followed in full, but just as the young man came down with the last proposition, which was to clinch the whole thing solidly together, the groom blurted out, “Mine Got in Himmel, I shust got married." Whether either of the gentlemen fully comprehended the other is open for debate. At all events while this may be the turning over a new leaf with the newly married couple, it cannot be fairly considered a case of “swearing off,” as viewed from the stand point of the groom. The New Year. New Year day was a very quiet one at Decatur. There were very few peopeople in from the country, while ' many of our citizens took advantage of cheap railroad rates to make a visit. There was open house at the resi- 1 dence of Dr. Dorwin. The cards con- 1 tained the names of Anna Lewis, Ella Spangler, Minnie Bobo and Fanna ' Dorwin. There was a large number of callers, elegant refreshments and the young ladies entertained their guests right royally. At the residence of ye editor, Jes- ] sie Allison and Maggie J. Hill, re- < ceived calls. During the evening there were a considerable number of ( callers and the girls expressed them- | selves amply paid for their trouble. ( The “plug hat' brigade was a feature of the new year. Whether they i were the “big four” or the “little five” we cannot say, but their card was immense, and their calls over town quite numerous. Some of the boys “swore off," not very earnestly it is feared, while others commenced turning over a new leaf by beginning at the back part of the old book. Elzey Given Five Years. Last week we gave the particulars of the attempted outrage of Willard Elzey upon a young married woman of Jefferson township. Friday morning he was brought into court, withdrew his plea of “not guilty,” substituted “guilty" therefor and submitted his his case to the Judge without the intervention of a jury. After an examination of the principal witnesses, the prisoner was given five years at Michigan City and fined SIOO. The Judge in passing sentence upon the young man gave him some good advice. The prisoner seemed to be stolid, indifferent and unmoved. He expressed him self well pleased that he did not get a longer term of imprisonment. Tues day he was taken to prison by Sheriff McGriff. Marriage Licenses. The following marriage licenses were issued in December :—Amos P. Shoemaker to Ollie Ortman. Christian D. F. Beebrick to Helena Meyers, Geo, Bombye to Mary E. Suddeth, Alexander Lehman to Phoebe A. Stetler, Louis Worthmann to Sophia Biauker, Arnold Aschlcman to Mary Meyers, Jonathan Merryman co Cynthia R. Morgan, Ezra Mcßarnes to Lydia E. Smith William H. Bixler to Ella Hower, Emanv.el Liddy to Mariah J. Shank, Isaa'j Lohman to Lena Schurger. There is one couple to whom the clerk issued license too modest to let people know of their marriage. It is recorded in blank, and curious people can enjoy themselves by guessing the lames of the parties. We do not intend to fool around longer commenting upon the matter, for fear we tell. Sheep Killed by Dogs. Some two weeks ago, Commissioner John Ruprigk t had a fine herd of sheep worried by dogs. About twen-ty-five were injured, about one-half of the number were killed outright or have since died, and those injured might alt aost as well have been killed. Tagor no tag, a good doss of buck sbo 4is the best thing in the world to administer to Stray dogs, and if the prescription was followed closely, sheep killing dogs would soon retire from bus’mess. Dogs that go prowling around t heir neighbors sheep fold are only goc d for targets.

On Wednesday night, between seven and eight o’clock, a brilliant meteor burst in the heavens. It was a little north es east and about forty-five degrees in height. It moved in a direct line towards the horizon, and when it had passed over about fifteen degrees, burst with a brilliant pyrotechnic display and disappeared. It left in its wake a dense luminous light that did not fade out until nearly an hour after the meteor disappeared. It was so dense that the stars could not be seen through it. The light drifted in the direction of the wind, and when about faded out was nearly due south. During the last half hour it was observed, it assumed the shape of an immense inverted figure three.
