Locals. Choice steaks are fifteen cents per pound. Card board and mottoes for sale at this office. The pay car on the C. & A. went through lest week. There is a case of spring fever in the south part of town. The I. 0. O. F. Band played on the street Monday evening. . The Odd Fellows’ band furnished the music for the Knights’ supper. Business has been very dull over on the Court House square this week. Dan Bailing shipped a car load of horses to Philadelphia, on Monday. The English sj arrow is back in force in his old quarters, the Court House. A small colony from Hartford township, will shortly remove to Arkansas. The “Nameless Club’ met at the residence of R. D. Patterson. Saturday evening. Daniel Shacklcy is crutchingaround again. Dan dos’nt like the hospital business. The Shakespere reading class met at the residence of Thomas Mickles, last Thursday. Trim your grapevines now. Do not put off until next season what you should do to-day. Quite a number of cases of smallpox have developed in various places in this state of late. Collins Bushnell's valentine evidenced the worst case of “mash' that came to the notice of The Democrat. Sheriff McGriff took Simon Wagner, adjudged Insane, to the Hospital for the insane for treatment, Tuesday. Lem Adams has purchased the lot north of Will Spence's residence, prepratory to building in the summer. Our police items this week all gath ered to-gether would not make a very lively corner in the Police Gazette.

Jim Fristoe will profit by his expe- ] rience. He will never attempt to hide behind anything smaller than a meeting house. r Marshal Maloney has been deligent- a ly hunting for tenants for his bastile this week, and with not very marked success so far. Every saw mill yard in the country j is running over with logs. The solid ( roads this winter were a veritable har- 1 vest to the saw-mill men. t The damage by the floods in this i county is insignificant. And more for- < tunate still, there has not been a single 1 case of a death by drowning. I The letter addressed “To any lady 1 of Decatur,' advertised by the post- 1 master, has not yet been called for. 1 The address covers too much space. Work on the Chicago A Atlantic R. R. in the way of ballasting, has not ■ yet been resumed. Somebody or some- , thing seems tired, from some cause or another. Some - of our people who buy their wood and pay for it too, complain that they have neighbors who borrow at unseasonable hours. They should be careful that they do not pick up some dynamite lying around loose. The creeks and big ditches leading into them are said to be filled with pike, and the trap, spear and gun will be invoked to capture them, when the water runs down‘sufficiently for such operations, although it may not be “according to the statutes.'’ We are in receipt of the “Song Folio,” a beautiful book containing one hundred and twenty-seven of the most popular sings of the day, from the best composers. This is one of the cheapest books ever offered to the public, and all lovers of music should not fail to procure one. Price 50 cents or postage paid, 65 cents, at A. C. Katt, & Co., Fort Wayne, Ind. The boys are having a gay time with marbles. The season never opened with blighter propects for a catui val of fun among the boys. Says one who has just lost his last comma. “Lend me one Jim, I can wiu a ihousand." Hc-e was a lad who will make a lively “bull or "bear as the case may be, and will make it interesting to those who deal iu “futures some day, unless the promises of youth aie blighted. The last business transaction of bimon Magner, before he was sent to the Hospital for the Insane, Tuesday, was to employ John John T. Fiance to sell some personal property for him at public sale. John who is always ready to strike hands with any one who will promise a fair compensation for his services had no difficulty in driving a bargain with the luny Magner. He hired a livery team, drove out to Kerne, to find out he was out bis time and livery bill. That bimon was a crafty lunatic.

Night-cap socials are the the rage at . Decatur. Night caps can be bought l for ten cents a glass here.— Fun lf< :rt I Bulletin. Some of ’em cost more than that here. Several of our Nimrods who claim to be able to wing a duck as far as the woods are cut out, are preparing to go to the big reservoir, Celina, Mercer county, 0., hunting and fishing. The Baptists still continue their meetings at Pleasant Mills. They report an additional number of candidates for immersion and a further increase to their number by relation.

Room Number 5 will celebrate Longfellows birthdayon Tuesday next. They invite their friends to be present on the occasion. The programme ' will be found elsewhere in this issue. Go and hear what the children have ] prepared for the occasion. This is the season for maple syrup, i We do not mean the Vermont kind, i which can be made one time of the year as well as another, but the genu- , ine maple, beside which there is no , other like unto it. It will bring a good round price and pay those who have 1 sugar trees to manufacture all they | can. There is a large amount of building ] stone, sand and brick piled up in the ( burnt district preparatory to building. Mechanics are waiting for favorable ° i weather, when building will begin in earnest. The coming season will be ' an unusually active one, so far as building is coucerned. 'B3 will be re- ' markable for the number and value of ' buildings erected. This is a day and age of petty swindlers. They assume so many guises • that it is impossible to point them all out. Our rural friends will find it > much safer to not lend their names to t agents for any purpose whatever, than to do so. Sharpers infest the country t who have a wonderful way of manipulating prices of paper with valuable ( autographs into promissary notes, as many have learned to their sorrows. Thousands of tons of ice were ship- ] ped fsom this place to Toledo, last , week, via. of the St. Marys and Maumee. Our people took advantage of * * I reduced freight and fairly deluged Toledo, withit It was sent in faster than they could take care of it, and lies piled up all over the lower portion of the town, awaiting their pleasure. < If Toledo does not enjoy cool drinks 1 this season it will not be our fault. It 1 looks a little as if the Arkansaw trawler had moved to that town lately and was “holding the fort,” and what the result will be is about as uncertain as , a weather prediction. Louis Weaver, a citizen of Root ' township, whose suicide was mention- I ed last week, it seems from the- testi- i rnony before the Coroner had frequent occurrences of aberation of mind. When in this condition he occasionally threatened to take his lite, but as he made no attempts to do so, and was , considered harmless, his people paid but little attention to him when in this condition, thinking it would soon pass away. In his sane moments his relations with his family were ofthe most pleasant character. The Democrat mentions this fact for the reason that in giving his s’atement to us, when , I under the influence of one of these I “spells,” it would seem to cast reflec- i i tions upon the family, when such , would not have been the case had he been in his right mind. Vincent Baker filled himself with booze Monday and in this condition repaired to his brothers, where he boards. His brother’s wife remonstrated with the young man. The ■ only effort was to enrage him and make him violent and unreasonable. He captured a double barrelled shot gun and threatened to give the contents to any one who interfered with him. The Marshal got wind of Vincent's condition and commenced hunting him up. Meauwhile he had called at the Miesse House The proprietor saw his condition, succeeded in getting him to bed. Later the Marshal came around and concluded to take the gun in, in which he was successful. As be burst into the room, the Marshal and Baker had a close chase for the weapon, both grasping it at the same time. Baker yielded to necessity. A good thumping well laid on would have been a deserved treat. Tuesday night a young man propounded a conundrum to himself and solved it iu this wise. “Where shall I go to night?” After reflection he said: “I will go to the Mush and Milk 1 Social. Ten cents for my girl, ten for myself, total, twenty. I can't spend : an evening where it will cost less. I : will go.” The only consideration that i floated to the surface in the young man’s .reflections was the one question, . economy. The moral or intellectual , were buried too deep from sight for t consideration. It struck Ihe Demoi cRAT scribe forcibly that it would ben--1 etit the cause of temperance, it would i be to the material advancement of i Christian work generally, if there was . some place provided where our young - people could pass their evenings, e where their moral and intellectual i, faculties might be cultivated, enlargg ed and strengthened. If such a place .. were provided, they would attend on i the score of economy, if nothing ci'-*.

The floods are subsiding. Sprang & True are invoicing. Farmers will soon start the plow. Good-bye to good roads until dry weather. Eiting’e show windows display some fine carpets. Rev. Dustman, is the happy father of a daughter. An infant child of Anthony Will’s was buried Monday. The Democrat office lias had a boom in job work this week. No. 2 on the G. R. & I. R. R. has been a little irregular this week. Yesterday was Longfellow’s day in iu room No. 7 of the public schools. The new freight house and depot on the C. & A. is nearing completion. Wm. P. Moon, the contractor, has his hands full for the coming season. The ladies of the M. E. Church are talking up some kind of an entertainment. The mush and milk social Tuesday night, was a success, financially and otherwise. Neil Dorwin took some sterescopie views of the water and surroundings last week. The doctors are being kept quite busy now. Diphtheria and Lung trouble is predominating. John M. Pond offers his house in Crabbs addion, for sale. He contemplates moving to Peru, Ind. Muddy roads and high waters have kept the farmers from coming to town, consequently trade is dull. For three days in succession this week, the train from the west on the Narrow Gauge, has been on time. If our people intend to donate any thing to the sufferers by the flood it is time they were moving in the matter. Hart’s mill will resume work some time next week, having had a complete overhauling, new machinery added, etc. Root & Co. are offering bargains in Embroideries, Laces and Everlasting Irish and Swiss Trimmings. See advertisement. Services was held in the lecture room at the M. E. Church, Sunday, on account of a defective flue 4 filling the main room with smoke. Yesterday was Washington’s birthday. When Peter Kizer passes away, there will be none left in this part of the. country to celebrate the day. Several boys measured the depth of water in the excavation on the Luckey property last week. Some of the old er people said, “they got a ducking.” The sacrament of the Lord's supper, was observed at the M. E. Church last Sabbath. Y. P. Meredith delivered a very able discourse in the evening. Our underground sewers are equal to all demands as yet made upon them. They have been plenty large to carry off all. the water that could be turned into them. Some of our exchanges published a delinquent list this year covering the best part of a page of their paper, which was quite a contrast in size with our list. The Democrat wishes to remind its I readers that a little later there will be i a great development of “fisherms’an ’ luck.” We have the utmost confidence in the prediction. It is time our business men planted their advertisements for a spring crop of trade. The old saying about the early bird is as applicable to advertisements as it is to worms.

Thursday, Auditor Christen transmitted to Preston, Keene & Co., Chicago, $11,500 in Adams county gravel road bonds, by registered letter. It cost fifty two cents to send them. Tony Holthouse has just received the finest line of Misses and children’s spring shoes that will be brought to Decatur this year. The gentlemen’s spring stock will be here in a few days. The demand fur tile is greater than the supply. There is not a tile factory in the country with any stock on hand to meet the spring demand. It will pay some one to manufacture tile extensively at this place. Ihe demand is increasing from year to year. Dr. Ph. D Paul the eminent German Eye Specialist will make his 18lh visit to Decatur, and be at the Burt House, Thursday, March Ist, provi dence permitting. Examination free. Office Hours from 7 a. m. to 2:30, p. m. Magdalene Wertzberger died at the residence of her son George, Sunday morning, February 18ih, aged seven-ty-two years, four months and twenty days. The funeial services were held at the Lutheran Church, conducted by Rev. George Beizen. Last week six of Co. H., 89th Ind. i V olunteers, accidentally met on the | streets of this place as follows : Silas Martz, J. R, Smith, Wm. Cully, J. 8. Danner, Theo. Kennedy and J. P. Quinn. All are Democrats save one The St. Marys last week was within twenty-two and one-half inches of the great flood. A large portion of the ' ice left for Lake Erie, but there are occasional gorges at different points, which will not go until warmer weath-

This is the forty-ninth edition of winter. Frederick Richards, whose injury was mentioned last week, is reported dead. This is the season of the year to remind us of the value of gravel roads. Improved roads of some kind are the one thing needful in this county at the present time above everything else. Well, what about that base ball club? There has been some talk to the effect that a stock company would organize and run a base ball club this season. The Democrat is anxious to record the cold facts as they develop. Gossip mongers are societies greatest enemies. Their “don’t you never tell” frequently seap out through the kitchen, to plague the falsifiers by coming back again byway of the front door. Don’t you forget it, the little things of life should be looked after with great care. All the gall, all that is miserable in your existence, may be due to the fact that you owe the printer a small insignificant bill. Pay up and be happy. One weeek ago last Thursday, a son of Andrew Gay in attempting to cross the levee east of town, ran off the embankment into deep water. He succeeded in getting out all right, with the exception of the hind wheels of his wagon, which became seperated and were left in the flood.

A few moments after Gay’s mishap John Stults attempted so cross the flood when his horse went off the levee. Stults jumped out and returned to the west side. His horse floundered around a little and finally succeeded in crossing in safety. Personals. Mrs. D. O. Jackson is on the sick list. Mr. John Route was at Bluffton, Tuesday.

KXKihTs OF PYTHIAS. Xineteeutb luniversary of the Order. The K. of P. Hall was filled with fair women and brave men Tuesday night, The predominating element seemed to have been gathered from the young married people. Grey beards were the exception. Those present were entertained with a few choice selections from the Odd Fellows' Band. On gathering around the table, Rev. A. J. Reynolds was called upon fur a few remarks. The origin of the Order was briefly alluded to, the anniversary occasion that was being celebrated, a pleasant story of the necessity of brevity on the occasion, when the Divine blessing was invoked. He was followed by Rev. M. A. Teague, who commended the Order, alluded to that broader field, of the ties that bind humanity together in a common bond of brother hood, and the elevation that naturally followed the cultivation ofthe graces of friendship and fidelity to one another. About one hundred and fifty members and guests were present to sit around the hospitable board, which had been bountifully provided with the good things of life. At a later hour the young people . tried to organize themselves into a club to keep step with the music, which was not quite as successful as some other undertakings they have been identified with. The Knights may congratulate themselves upon the' occasion of celebrating the Nineteenth Anniversary of the Order. It was a pleasant and enjoyable time to all who were present and voted thus unanimously. notes : John France ate the longest. Del Phelps admirably passed pressed bread. Ed Philips laughed the loudeSt. Miesse' ,<the landlord didn’t have time to say anything. Jas. France gave an “extemporaneous” speech. B. W. Sholty didn’t do justice to the supper. , All the members were sorry they were not visitors. The chickens were splendid and the ministers happy. Alex. Bell and Jim Place were floor walkers. Ed. Phillips took the big cake, where he got it or what story he told worthy oi such a prize is left to the irn agination of our readers. . County Fair. Will our county fair be revived ? Was a question propounded us by an enterpiising farmer. As we did not know anything about it, weciuld not tell. We have made it a rule, which is without an exception, to never tell what we do not know. By the way there are some families who do not follow this rule. They generally live on cake, given them for a violation of the premises. But that we let pass. There is no good, valid, substantial reason why we should not have a county fair next season and a good one too If we do, however, it is our firm conviction, that our farmers will have to step to the front and take the initial steps. They are the men interested. They pan make it a success and should promptly step forward and put the wheels in motion. The columns of The Democrat will give them all the encouragement possible.
