Locals. Sleighing is good. This is emphatically the winter of ice. The skating on the river is excellent. This winter is a decided improvement over last. The fellow with the ‘-fast nag” has moved away. Bill Dorwin butchered lately. Who did the work ? Everybody is inquiring for Med Walch. Med is sick. There is a great demand for reliable weather prophets. A crowd of young ladies are talking of going to Bluffton. The Bluffton party stoped at the Burt House Friday evening. Bert Brown can tell you how solid the ice was Wednesday night. A splendid lot of hogs were shipped from this place last week. Coasting -down by the river is a favorite pastime of the little folks. A masquerade ba l ! at the rink is the coming feature for our danoers. Del Phelps says he is in. Yum, yum. Jim Hoagland came with him Those who cannot keep their own secrets will not have any secrets to keep. Monday was the grand opportunity for those who do business on a “eold day." New Castle folks are enjoying measles and itch. Wc don’t like the combination. The sleighing is getting too close to the ground. This was written Wednesday. The Portland orchestra rendered very poor music at the dance on Friday evening. Give us a local item whenever you can. It only requires a hint to put our pump to work. 5 Those who could not - citch on” to their ears have probably had th< m frozen before this time. Several burglarious attempts have been made in thia place, but none of them have been successful. A fellow asked us where and how we got our news the other day. By pumping. There is only one way. Quite a number of builders are anxious to have a hand in the construction of the Luckey Opera House. John Louis Smith was married to Amelia Sophia Dillery, at the Catholic Church, Tuesday. Congratulations, Louis. The Star Lecture Course, of Fort Wayne, will not complete its program. The profits foot up on the wrong side of the ledger. Our columns have been so crowded with legal matters of late that it is impossible to give that space to local matters desirable. Number six, on the G. R- & I. railroad was three hours late Monday. The Michigan snow blizzard caused the detention of the train. The fellow who wanted to invest fifty cents in taffy for the benefit of a sleighing party got left the other night to his great disappointment. Catarrh and lung troubles arc the principal thing our physicians have to wrestle with at this time All in all the general health is excellent. A model love letter of the sweet and guehing order was found on our streets last week. It was full of promise to the girl he left behind him. Our blacksmiths have been having a harvest during the reign of ice. But the blacksmith who earns bis money driving horseshoes literally earns his harvest. The Portland people have organized a dancing club and named it the venus Dancing Club. Their first bop was Wednesday evening last and was a success. Invitations are out for the nuptials of J. H. Bremerkamp and Josephine Eiting. The ceremony will take place at the Catholic Church, February Ist at 10 o’clock a m. Banquet at the Miesse House from 10 to 12 p. m. Our announcement last week was erroneous. The following Knights of Pythias of this place conferred the Oriental Degree at Fort M ayne, on Tuesday night: I- C. King, G. M ■ McConnell, A. R. Bell, C. Cloud, L. / D. Phelps, L. H. Corbin, J. W. Ed- ' wards, P. C. Hooper, M. M. McConnell and J. Bart Shirey. Decatur proposes to spread herself in the building line. About one half of the burnt district is already under contract for building. It is already known that every vacant lot will be put under contract by earl y spring, with one exception, with probabilities in favor of the oue excepted being built later in the season. Kcv. M. A. Teague will preach a series of Sabbath evening discoures on the subject of Baptism, as follows. January 28th, -TheObjcet of Baptism; Feb. 4ib,‘ Infant Baptism; ’ 11th, “The Mode of Baptism." All are invited to hear, and they and their denominations witl be respected. “Come and let us reason together.

There was no school, at the pul ..0 i school Monday aftefnodn and Tttesc.iy. I Thoffiuijdiiig could not-be made emu--1 fortahle for the children Fort Waym- has a dangerous gauq of foot pads. Every few days some cf her citizens gets knocked down an 1 robbed while on their way home after night. Tom Cloud and Frank Schirmeyt - are now at Fort Clark, Texas. Their term of enlistment will expire in April next, when the boys may be expected home. The Van Wert Times has it that Decatur is excited over a reportc 1 forgery by two clerks in the Adam. County Bank. All a mistake Bn Clymer. Noah Glass is getting to be of a lit erary turn. In proof of this assertini he has quite recently made an addition to his library of the life of JetJam es. John Bowers, sen., slipped and fell on the sidewalk opposite the Court House, Tuesday, breaking a rib and was bruised otherwise. Dr. Freem in attended him. The new machinery in Hart's mil! has been se for several days. Those who wish to see the roller process in use so r crushing and grinding whca r should call at the mill. ■ George Arnold, of the Bluffton Chronicle, will try his luck sawing lumber and manufacturing hubs etc., at Monroe, this county, having pur chased Chris. Hocker's mill and machinery. The hotel panic does not seem to be | on the decline. If it should develop j some practical fire escape, so that it | would be impossible to rc-act the recent I tragedy at Milwaukee the public will ! breathe freer. Business men say our trade is reach- f ing out in every direction, and that 1 the future of Decatur was never ’ brighter. Decatur does not do much , bragging and boasting but keeps moving along all the same. Sam Buhler took out license to marry I jizzie Cramer. The license is not 1 jecqrded aud they don't wish people i to know anything about it. Reader.of The Democrat must not mention it. There are persons who have been in ' the habit of attending the Evangelical Church during the series of meet- | iugs now iu progress who had better ke> p away. They do not attend for any good purpose, and are a source of great annoyance to those who se< k the welfare of the church.

For Mardi Gras at New Orleans. The Grand Rapids & Indiana R. R. R. Co., will sell excursion tickets on January 25th, to February 4th., inclusive, making tickets good to return until March Ist., at the rate of $27.25 for round trip.

Co. will sell excursion tick- | ' ets on January 29th to February 2nd., , inclusive, at rates of §5.65 for round . trip, making return limit February 4th., | 1883. Many of the public schools of Ohio ] are engaged in testing a precautionary drill for the purpose of vacating the school building in the quickest time j possible and in an orderly manner, which includes leaving the rooms, putting on wraps, descending the stairs 1 and leaving the building. It might be a good thing to adopt in our schools. , The friends of Mrs. Margaret Wemhoff made her an unexpected visit on Friday last. It was the occasion of her sixty-first birthday and the thirtyeighth anniversary of her marriage. The recital of the sucocssful strategy ( they played on the old lady was laughable to listen tc its relation. j 1 The following ladies and gentlemen of Bluffton, attended the hop at the 1 rink ’on Friday evening last : Dug I ‘ White, Herb Deam, Harry Deam. Al Kapp, Chas. Bennet Fred Karns, Jas. ’ Studabaker, Addie Oppenheim, Cora McClara, Nelliie Fieeman, Mrs. Fr>-d Karns and Mrs. Jas. Studabaker. Three valuable inlots will be sold at ■ public auction in front of the Court 1 House, next Saturday, by Paul G.' Hooper, Commissioner. They are sit-j uated south of the resid. nee of W. I’. I Rice, in the original plat of the city and are among the most valuable v.i cant building lots now in tne market. The cold wave struck this locality Saturday evening. The mercury 11, all respectable thermometers com mcnced sinking rapidly. By Mondat morning *>ey.stood from teu to twenty degrees below zero. Whatever the correct figute it was decidedly eold The wave was accompanied by a sharp biting and incisive wind, with a clear cut meialic ring, which nipped ears, fingers and toes ot the many people compeJed to face the blast. .th a little more *now or sl< ighing, nr better wirfter weather cohhi be asked for than we have. A. F. Simpson was to have been j brought before Judge Bobo, Monday, j upon a writ of habeas corpus, for the 1 purpose of getting his bail reduced , He was sick, however, and unable to leave his quarters. It is understood here, should he succeed in getting bait the United Statis Marshal will be ready to swoop down upon him for j tampering with the mails in connee tion with the charges oi forgery against him. Some of our people here think the knowledge of this fact had something to do with his sickness. The habeas corpus proceeding before Jrdge Bcbo has been dismissed, but renewed before Judge-Hench, of Allen county, and has been set down, tor hearing on next Monday.

I There was not a dissenting voice against the snow that fell Thursday. It was the first “weather” that came by unanimous consent, hence The ‘ Democrat records it. At the regular meeting of the City Council, Tuesday night, a petition was presented asking that the Council authorize the issuing of bends to the amount of $16,000 for the purpose of building a new school building. Referr ed to committee on schools. A rumor is current that a vein if coal has been found on the farm of John Woy, Root township, at a deptn of twenty-eight feet, and that the vein had been penetrated four feet without going through it. There is a little excitement about coal down about Monmouth and it is the purpose of some parties to engage in prospecting. As soon as the matter has been developed The Democrat will give particulars C. & A. 11. R. hems. Five locomotives and seven passenger coaches went west on the C. AA. R. R. Saturday. It is understood that local trains will be run between Huntington and Chicago, until the eastern division is ballasted. The foundation for the freight de- . pot was laid opposite the passenger, | but was afterwards changed and moved east of Winchester street and the south side of the track. The company are erecting a splendid building for the purpose. President Jewett of the New York . A Erie railroad, aud the Board of Di- ■ rectors and officials of the C. &A. I railroad passed over the line to Chicaj go, in a special train, Saturday. The steam shovel has been dis carded at the gravel pit. Wtrk on the C. & A. depot and freight house was suspended during the extreme cold of .Monday and Tuesday. C. J. Furman took the place of Mi. Lumsdon and now has charge of the graveling of this division of the road. No time has been fixed to commence running through trains from New York to Chicago. The road is ballasted throughout, except a gap between this place and Huntington, and this p ace and Lima. Obituary.

those who fall, And Those who Stand. TLe 8 idewalks of this place during the week ha ve been the ficene of many a slight of toot, acrobatic and gymnastic activities generally. The peiformances have been pretty evenly divided between (he sexes. While they have not always been greeted by the audience with rapturous applause, there has been an unusual amount of “inward chuckle” over many of the scenes. The marked feature of the acting has been characterized by pure unadulterated energy. You would sea quiet demure citizen picking his way aloug, when sa idenly he would perform a aeries of “gruud, and lofty tumblings that eventually would bring him down au±spread him out upon the sidewain, as tniu as a crumb cloth. Marking the movements one would naturally conclude that our friend was charged with a battery of electrical energy, wmeh he had suddenly let utf to surprise his ieliow citizuus. Another would sadly retrain: “Been takin a P too much. One woman dress**' as a tug huru signal was*- -.•*s along as graceful as a pattern mule.

JKe insist that people should practice falling on the ice at home. They cannot expect to do better without practice and s» ould nut try. Our citv authorities should pass an ordinance prohibiting such spectacles, aud providing iheseveiest penalties lor their violation. It is to be hoped that all good citizens will give the matter that attention its im portance demands. Upon this we positively insist and will ever pray To the practical and reflective, who are always looking somewhere lor the compensation, they win nnd it in the following. •‘The wicked stand on slippery places, thlß has been bus a source oi peace und joy the two casts useu in illustration can never know. WOADFKUh PIPE What Became ol it. Joseph Bokei, is a success in more ways than oue. He is a recent importation Irom Germany, aud figured some weeks since as the hero ot a first-class ghost story. Last week he had another mishap. Byway Ox explanation and to better understand the sequel of the story, we remark that Joseph has a weakness peculiar to the people of the “Fatherland. This weakness is oue of those old style six-sioried-mansard-iOvfel pipes, which our German friends are wont to display on state occasions. Joseph owns or rather did own one of these famed pipes. It was the latest importation, a little louder in its ornament at ion, complicated in its rig' gmg and ponderous in size than uii) that had previously appeared on dress parade, and was looked upon with ensious eyes by his admiring countryman. It was the pride ot his heart; his only love. Oue night last week, he made an informal call upon the family of Harmon Brake. He was accompanied by his pipe. The family bad letued for the nigM, but that did not prevent Joseph displajiug his social qualities and b s pipe. After the usual siiutaiions had passed he resolved himself into a committee to luruish his pipe with tobacco. Mrs. Brake disclaimed any knoWitdge of tobacco. Not so with Harmon, who could nut keep house without it. He had a generous pocketful in his ulster. Joseph loaded his pipe and

set diwu to enjoy himself. He had been on short commons lor some time, anl consequently loaded it to the muzxle. What hie leilcjtioue were we cannot positively say. It is Siippoecd, however, >e was coinpm ug Geiman and American gbosta, their peculiarities, etc. How lung he had biett eaiokiug is r.ncth.'r questmn of which w e are not positive Be this as it may, somewhere about midnight, moie or less when the gtettt pipe was about half unloaded, ‘ bump, ’ there was a terrible explosion, as if the ‘ next bullet' had come for Joseph. He picked himself up off of the floor, shook and piuchci himself to as etrtain.it he was all there from the noise, and pieces scattered over the floor | the family first supposed an ateoiite bad struck the bouse and exploded, as there was sufficient debris scattered over the floor to build a dutch oven. But the strong odor of tobacco among the fragments soon dispelled this theory. As his pipe could uownere be louud, it was finally concluded that wha‘. was lying around loose was what was left of Joseph s pipe. The explanation of all this is that for some all wise and unknown purpose a metalie cartridge, caltbie not necessary to mention, bad mingled with the tobacco which bad been put into the pipe. At the proper lime it lutfiiled ns mission as indicated. Joseph is a sadder, wiser, but less positive man than he was. He will probably I return to Germany and writjup tiiecuriwaysofour people fora popular lecture course. Would 1.11. e to See. The obituary of the bad man. T he next manager of “our nine."
