This is a season of rest for the corner loafer. Our people do not often enjoy a London fog in February. Green apples bring a good round price and are scarce accordingly. A number of young Decatu rites were out serenading Saturday night. There is au active demand for brick and other building material at this place. Tom Shields can put more sleigh bells on one horse than any other man in town. Fort Wayne is lobying for the location of the proposed new asylum for the insane. A real glove tight occurs when a woman attempts to put a No. 6 glove on a No. 7 hand. Three cases of small pox materialized at Hartford City last week, one of them proving fatal. Dell Phelps and James Hocgland ha?e been painting the C. & A. depot at this place this week. The White Combination that should have played here Thursday did not get here until Saturday. The ground hog business and the early Easter denote an early spring. And all will give it welcome. W. S. Kapp, that popular tailor of Bluffton, is talking of starting a merchant tailor store at this place. If you wish to hear a pronounced and emphatic opinion in regard to ‘‘ice creepers" inquire of Henry Meyers. If some people could regulate the weather, there would be very little of the zero cold from this time forward. Circuit court convenes on the 26th of February. There will be quite a number of criminal cases to dispose of. This is an oft year in valentines. But few were sent through the Decatur postoffice, as compared with other years. High water interfered with some of the country schools last week. Teachers and scholars were unable to “get there.”

Poultry is very scarce at this time and pricas rule away up among the figures that prevent a large home consumption. The France Brothers are giving the Delphos folks a chance to indulge in roller skating. They opened out in Lytle's Hall. Solomon Billman sold his stock of boots and shoes, and business to Henry Winnes. They commenced invoicing Monday. This has been a gilt edge winter for cold, and many of our people think the long excessive cold spell is getting a little monotonous. A customer refused to pay his tailor for “that last epilepsy.” Investigation revealed the fact that he was referring to his last “bad fit. All tramps agree with Herbert Spencer, that it is overwork that is killing us Americans. Tramps do not propose to occupy early graves. The “drummer is getting too numerous to mention just now, and the proprietors of our hotels have a joyful smile overspreading their countenances. The first team to cross the bridge over the St. Marys at Willshire after the high water was Henry Meyers. Win. Dorwin and U.S. Wise were passengers. The person who always forgets every thing but going to dinner on time, has been pronounced insane from overwork of the brain. People can not be too careful. The K. of P. of this place, intend giving a supper, Monday, February 19th. Each one of the Knights will be privileged to invite some of their personal friends. From what they said and what they ' Cid, it is more than probable that the C. A A laborers who were discharged at this place last week became intoxicated ar.d disorderly for the purpose if getting sent up a few days. They «< is ice ting it an easy way of getting cheap leaid with nothing to do thrown in.

The Rotary Engine Company have received a patent fortheir invention. If ti e Cempany will get down to business ar.d push their new engine with tie energy it e eserves, they have a leitime in the invention. They have the cheapest and most practical steam piner in existence. As Co). Sellers said. “There is millions in it.

Christena Kuntz, of Berne, Im egistered Tuesday at the Clerk’s 0 •» as a physician. A number of ladies went to Win hire Tuesday for a sleighride. They report a good time. The negroes in Willshire town-hip, Van Wert county are not all the sitne color. Among them are White, G een and Brown. Chas. Spencer believes in taking the benefit of the sidewalk when he sleighrides. Some of those who are going to build in the burnt district have been hauling sand on sleighs during the week Sprang A True are going out of the clothing business. They are closing out their stock for that purpose. The game of marbles is getting to be the rage among the boys. It is, like hay-fever, an annual epidemic.

Portions of Van Wert was ne irly inundated by the late freshet. T1 ere was considerable damage to prop 1 rty and several narrow escapes fcm drowning. The Auditor has posted notices for sealed proposals 4o be received until Saturday Feb., 17th, to replace 'he bridge over Limberlost Creek uoon its abutments. It is as yet an unsolved problem as to who took the remains of James Allen from the Court House, and probably always will be. There is a big demand for br k this season. Our brick yards will have to be run to their outsido capacity of production to supply the demand. Christen and Goodsell, the Decatur, Lumber Company, have dissolved partnership. Mr. Christen gets the factory and machinery and Mr. Goodsell the lumber yard. It was Tom Shield's chance to catch the wood chuck and have meat last week, but he neglected the matter until too late. The animal went back into his hole. Jake Shaffer s little daughter D>l- - has a pct wolf. Fred Reppert, of West Point, Neb., sent it to her some time ago, it is as tame as a kitten ..nd quite as playful. Charley Sehirmeyer left at this office a nice bunch of lettuce. The first of the season and well grown. Charley will make a specialty of ea ly vegetables for this market. Harvey Hart, Safe Miller and bra ik France, have hired to Virgil Com r, of Fort Wayne, to travel with Pan Castello’s Railroad circus, the com ng season, through California. They go as musicians. According to the Red Letter B ok issued by the B. & O. railroad, th re are twenty five Democratic Governors to thirteen Republican. In 1882 it stood twenty-one Republican and seventeen Democratic. One of our exchanges says: It is a noted fact that when a woman lea\ es a man who has not earned his salt or years, he promptly advertises that he will pay no debts of her making. Thursday last, after our forms were made up, an alarm of fire came from the south part of town. It came from the residence occupied by Sam tel Hale. No damage of consequence.

Peter Holthouse sold what is knewn as the old Holthouse farm, some two and one half miles west of Decatur 1 ist week to Peter Wetzell, of Seneca co . Ohio. The consideration was $9,250, or nearly fifty-eight dollars per acre. Mayor Merryman discharged the drunken squad sent to Bluffton, just as j soon as the C. & A. laborers had been paid off and dispersed. The course taken was about as cheap away of getting rid of a bad lot as could have been taken. The mansion of easy virtue reported west of the G. R. & I- radroad, just missed being “pulled Saturday. It is understood they hada rousing house, and some of the boys may consider themselves hickey that they were not “run in.” One of the workmen on the Chicago & Atlantic railrcad showed us a curiosity the other day, a relic of 'he “Hard Cider” and Log Cabin campa gn of 1340. It was a trass medal, ah jut the siae of a nickle. On one side was a good vignette of Harrison, insen >ed “Maj. Gen. W. H. Harrison, born I Feb. 1773.” On the obverse, a Log Caoin with a barrel of haid cider in front, inscribed: “The Peoples Ch< ice in the year 1840.” The medal vas picked up at Columbia. Tennessee, last summer, while excavation was being made in the earth works erected during the war. Mies Eleanor Patterson, of Willshire, formerly of this place, had a narrow escape from drowning last Saturday. She and Effie Pearce, of that place, were out skating, when the ice broke and Eleanor went down. Their c ies reached some gentlemen who were near by, when one of them grasped her as she was going under the third time. He eiied for help, or t :ey both would have been drownd, w n the crowd joined bands from the bank to the water, forming a chain and thus saving them both. In pulling Eleanor out her shoulder was dislocated, ant. tor a while she was in a serious condition, but is now rapidly recovering, although yet very nervous from fright.

We are under obligations to Superintendent Luckey for a copy of the Biennial Report of the State Superintendent of Public lustruction A street fakir has been selling miscellaneous notions on the streets for several days during the week. The one thing remarkable about him is his voice. In a close congressional district, such a voice would carry one through a political campaign successfully, though the odds were against him. The proprietor of the “Nine Mile House," between this place and Fbrt Wayne, claims a baby that weighed sixteen pounds when born. This is one among the heaviest weights on record and comes to The Democrat well authenticated. Justices Henry Merryman and Harry Harruff held an inquest at the Court House, Tuesday, to inquire into the sanity of Simon Magner, a resident of Monroe. He was found insane, and application made for his admission in- ' to the Hospital for the Insane for treatment. The fourth and last quarterly meeting of the Conference year will be held in the M. E. church next Saturday and Sabbath. Communion services at the close of the Sabbath morning services. Rev. Y. IJ. Merdith, P. E. will preach on Sabbath evening. All are invited to attend. When the Chicago & Atlantic railroad will be opened for business is an absorbing question, but as yet remains unanswered. The Company have not yet fixed upon any time, and if any one has any more information in regard to their business than they have themselves, the public would be under obligations if they would reveal the cold facts to a waiting public. Tom Hook asked aid received a license, some two weeks since, to marry a Miss Frank Curry. The license was returned Tuesday. It was according to the return, a case of misplaced confidence, which the applicant explains by claiming to have been intoxicated sometime during the transaction. Tom should not be discouraged, but “try again.” Judge Bobo was compelled to adjourn court at Bluffton, Monday, on account of the illness of a juror. The jury were impanneled in the case of the State vs Hoopengaruer, indicted for murder. If the court should meet with many such unavoidable delays, it will be impossible to try the Touuel Her case this term. Last Friday as Fred Richards was returning from Berne, by careless or reckless driving, he ran oft a culvert upsetting his sleigh and got fearfully banged up. Some of those who saw him say bis face looks as if it had passed through the hands of half a dozen prize fighters and he had then dodged into a threshing machine as a relief to further punishment. Dr. Freeman says Fred is seriously injured and had a narrow escape from being killed outright. Henry Scherry, jr., of Kirkland township, came to Decatur, Saturday, for a load of shingles. He started home with a very heavy load—some fifteen thousand. Perched high upon the load, he run against some obstruction, which threw him and the bunch of shingles on which he was sitting upon the ground, frightening the team which started to run away. In their flight one of them ran against a tree killing the horse dead in his tracks. Mr. Sherry escaped uninjured. The Van Wert papers gives the names of the parties to the affray at I Enterprise, 0., as being Joseph 1 Smith and Jack McNutt, the latter ; being the injured party. VS hile McNutt was not dead, his physicians had no hope of his recovery. Smith was arrested and held twenty-four hours and released. He expressed the intention of going to 4 an Wert to give himself up* The unwarranted attack upon Smith, and his expressed desire I to have a legal investigation are among the singular features of the transaction. It is strange that the people of Enterprise did not hold him to await the result of McNutt’s injuries.

With the vast amount of water flooding the country, one would have thought there would be little danger of those who drink of the flowing bowl “getting full,” but it was a mistake. Drinkers did not guage themselves aright, or else saloon men did not get enough aqua pura in their whiskey. At all events, there was almost an incredible number if drunks before the Mayor. There is a law with a penalty attached, for selling men who are drunk, or those who are in the habit of getting drunk. It is true that men never get any thing when they are drunk at “our place” of business, but they do manage—a great many of them—to get whiskey somewhere when they ought not to have it. There is somebody responsible for these drunks, and it is to be hoped ■that responsibility can be legally determined. The costs of last week s prosecutions, it paid out of the city treasuiy, would soon make us bankrupt, if continued long at the same rate, and is a grievous burden on the county. If there was a vigorous shaking ! up of those who violate the law in this I direction it would meet the approval ■ oi the tax paying voter if this ccmi munity.

Skating has been the favorite passtime with the young people, but has about had its run. This has-been an unusually favorable winter, in all its conditions, for skating, and has been enjoyed to its utmost capacity. The Baptist folks still continue their meeting at Pleasant Mills. They had twenty-five candidates for baptism, and administered the ordinance to quite a number this week. Four persons united with the church by relation. The town is much more quiet and orderly this week than last. The big squad of drunks before the Mayor no longer materialize. It is well. They were of our transient population incident to railroad building and arc a part and parcel of the penalty that attaches to railroad building. Most of them have departed like birds of passage since their discharge and our town has resumed her normal quiet condition. THE LATH FORGERY. Admitted To Bail. The father of young Hopkins who was bound over for his appearance last week, iu the sum of SI,OOO, to answer the charge of forgery, was in Decatur last Saturday, for the purpose of making arrangements to bail his son. — He has ample means in the way of real estate in Van Wert county, Ohio, and was ready to secure any one here who would go upon the recognizance. It is understood that two business men of Berne will go upon the bond, and in all probability, before this reaches the eye of-the reader, be will be released on bail. The old gentleman seems to have the greatest confidence in the innocence of his son, claiming for him an excellent character, in all that makes a ge-od son, and that there is some mistake somewhere, which, when cleared up, will prove to the world that innocence which he has so much faith in. Willis R. Hopkins, arrested for forgery, a detailed statement of which appeared in Tut. Democrat last week, gave bail Tuesday, Mr. Joseph Foreman, of Blue Creek, becoming his bondsman. SOCIETY BELLES. On account of its remakably delicate and lasting fragrance society belles are loud in their praises of Floreston Cologne. Personals. A. Barthel is no better. Mrs. J. R. Bobo is on the sick list. J. W. Place was at Fort Wayne, Tuesday. ' Mrs. Dell Phelps was at Monmouth last week. Al Kapp, of Bluffton, was in the city Friday. Chas.

Miss Kate Thomas, who has been visiting her Uncle Ghorge Smith, of this place, returned home last Thursday, Bert Brown and Tene Miller accompanied her as far as Richmond. A crowd of ladies and gentlemen went in the country to Dr. Coverdale's Saturday evening. They were provided with the“delecaeies of the season, and after having a good supper and grand time returned home at a late hour, W. H. Meyers received a telegram fiom Columbia City, Tuesday night, informing him of the probable fatal illness of his mother-in-law, Mrs. | Catharine Bollingfr, and asking him to come immediately. In response thereto, Mr. Meyers and wife left Wednesday afternoon.

ntSTL'KBING .MEETING. Two Young Hcu undone Young Lady Arrested and Fined, ftomo Advice. There has been a protracted meeting of some eight weeks duration, at the Evangelical Church at this place. A “big meeting" is always an attraction for the young people. Not that they are more devout than their elders, but rather the contrary, if we were to take a position. In fact there are two classes that attend these meetings. Those who delight in religious excitement, and are never so happy as when some excitable broth er or sister leads in prayer, or some of the gospel by ms of the Evangelists are being sung to warm them up to a proper spiritual temperature. The great outside class of the unconverted, are another element, that figure in no inconsiderable numbers at these meetings. Some of them, of the more pronounced in word and action, are ready to affirm that such a meeting is a regular “picnic" for them. They are full of life and animal spirits, with a considerable sprinkling of the spirit of “old Adam," in addition They are the burning brands, who have inherited a right to a place in Hades. They are not expected to conduct themselves with the decorum due old deacons, and are accorded frequently a little more freedom of action and manner than would be considered seemly iu a strictly puritan, or orthodox sense. They are tolerated in this, in the hope that some stray arrow of conviction will bring them into the church militant, thus making them ready for the church triumphant. The line of battle between the two con ten ing factioi’s we have thus carefully drawn, in order to a better understanding of what is to follow. During the progress of the meeting here have been frequent complaints, on the part of members of the church of the bad conduct of the young people, accompanied with warnings of what would follow unless there was a change of conduct for the better. Several weeks ago The Democrat became convinced there would be an appeal to the courts, unless there was a change, and as a factor on the side of good order and right urged the young people to conduct themselves in a proper manner, or keep away That they had no right to go there and disturb the congregation. The young people were a little more quiet for a time, but soon drifted into their old ways. It was then that the Church determined upon making a public example of all offenders in the direction indicated. Sunday night there was a considerable gathering of young ladies and gentlemen in the back part of the church They were having a picnic. The church folks called it “disturbing the meeting." Monday some three of them were arrested, two young men and one young lady. This time The Democrat omits names, because forsooth it is a lesson that we are reading, and not simply news that we are furnishing. The young men upon arrest plead guilty to the charge and were fined five dollars each and the trimmings, amounting to some sls each. The young lady plead “not guilty," and stood her trial. The pastor charged her with laughing and whispering to the great dis ' turbance of himself and the congregation. That it disturbed him so much that he nearly broke down in his preaching. Three others testified to the laughing and whispe ring, and their disturbance thereby. A whole bevy of roystering girls and boys were subpoenaed and who generaly testified they did not see the fair defendant laugh or hear her whisper, after “meeting took up. In short it was the old story of the dutch j ustice over again, who tried the sheep thief. The owner saw the thief carry the sheep away, and the thief brought twelve witnesses to prove they did not sec him earrv the sheep away. Only in this case the parts were reversed. The positive testimony of the church people counted. The negative testimony of the ungodly youths and maidens did not weigh when placed upon the scales of justice. The young lady was fined five dollars and costs the same as the young men. And probably the worst behaved in the pack got away. At least there are stories current of much worse misdoings than any developed upon the trial, which, if true, would be a dear lesson to the parties engaged. For the good name of our place The Democrat will not repeat them. There are two sides to the question. The church folks am: the young peo pie as was indicated above. People may take sides as they will, but one thing is certain, no one, young or old, grave or gay, has a right to disturb an assemblage of persons for publish worship in any way or manner. And what one side may regard a little harmless fun would be to the disturbance of another. The lesson is to all the young people as well as to .those prosecuted. They should profit by it. and be very careful to give no cause for complaint, saying no thing of further prosecutions in the future. LIVING WITNESSES.
