Any thing that will not hold water these times is “no good.” There are some talk of a crack base ball club being organized here. The dissolution of Voglewede <t Center appears in its proper place. The Forbing-Shafer block is receiving its finishing touches this week. Wednesday morning was encouraging to those who are tired of winter Bertha Holloway and Minnie Woods led the “May party” last Friday evening. Bluffton voted last Monday whether she would be a eity, in the future or not. Athsmetic and neuralgic people talked about that miserable rain last Saturday. M Colchin bought out Ernst Melehing's grocery and bakery, Wednesday morning. The music at tha Presbyterian ehurch Sabbath evenings is attracting large congregations. A freight car loaded with coal broke down on the Narrow Gauge, near Pleas ant Mills, Monday.’ The regular March session of the Board of Commissioners commences Monday, March sth. J. W. Luckey, who taught School No. 1., Root township, completed his term of four months last week. The next question is how will we celebrate St. Patrick's day—that is with some b'hoys from ould Ireland. Joe. and Len Johnson are known generally as the “twins. Os late Dr. Dorwin and Dan Railing are recognized as Damon and Pythias. Better than gold say those who have tried it. The Democrat. Try it one year, one dollar and a half, one price to all and see how you like it. The State vs J. J. Tonnellier et al., was continued in the Wells circuit court. There was not time sufficient to try the case, was the reason of the continuance.

We were in error last week in regard to Longfellow s day in room 7. It was Friday instead of Thursday. If our error of announcement prevented any person from attending we are sor-

Almost every town and city in the state has contributed to the sufferers by the flood, except Decatur. The rule would not be good without an exception, but we are not proud of the distinction it confers. We are under obligations to Auditor Christen for the fourth annual report of the Bureau of Statistics, of the state of Indiana. We shall have occasion to refer to it hereafter for the benefit of readers of The Democrat, There was two surprises Friday night. The first was a festive drumjner, who was surprised to witness a picnic procession so early in the season and so late at night. The other was the surprise of the band boys. The week s business last Saturday did not wind up to the ring of daddy dollars, as cur business men would like to have seen it. There was too much indication that the weather was trying to get at the back bone of winter to make it pleasant to turn out and leave a comfortable fireside. Rev. M. A. Teague was visited by a large number of his friends Wednesday night. Some called it a donation, others a pound party. At all events there was liberal contributions of the good things and necessaries of life. It was a pleasant time all around, and appreciated by the pastor. D. B. Boss, who is the General Secretary of the Indiana Slate Christian Temperance Union, will deliver a series of temperance lectures, at the Presbyterian church, to be continued indefinitely. Mr. Ross conies here with the reputation of being one of

the brightest and most affective temperance workers in the State. The friends of temperance and all others are cordially invited to attend his course of lectures. The first lecture of the series was delivered Thursday night. T here has been a serious but unavoidable delay in transacting the business of the circuit court this week, caused by Judge Bobo being detained in Wells county in hearing the trial of the State vs. G. W. King, who is charged with murdering a man at Ossian, lad. At the dose of the regular term in that county, the trial of the eause had not been completed. The term of the court was extended in order to complete the same. Hence the delay in eoutt business in this county.

Commissioners Court next Monday. The pay car on the C. & A. passed through here yesterday. All the scholars in the public school arc in favor of a tie v school building. 1 he T. C. & St. Louis R. R. is doing a goed business, both in passenger and freight traffic. There will be a vacation in the public schools for one week, commencing with March 12th. Tony Holthouse's spring stock of boots, shoes and slippers is the finest line that ever struck Decatur. Winter still lingers in the lap of spring with a pertenacity that is be coming exceeding monotonous. Portland people would like to raise their town about high water mark by sinking the bed of the Salamonia. Geo. W. McConnell has purchased a half interest in Joe Colchin's barber shop. Geo. invites his friends to call. . Livery teams will now get a rest. The recuperation will enable the stock to show up well for spring businesss. The Court House square will be the focus of interest next week, with the Circuit and Commissioner’s courts in session. The Democrat announced last week that Fred Richards was reported dead. There was such a report, but it was incorrect. Some of our people would be pleased to hear the bell ring at the M. E. church. It would be a desirable improvement. The temperance lecture at the Presbyterian church, Tuesday evening, by Rev. W. E. Ross, of Indianapolis, was well attended. Monday’s blizzard was not quite as severe as some that preceeded it, but it was “right chilly” for the last of February weather. f-i/” Wanted.— A boy to learn the baking business. Must be a good honest boy with good recommendations. Apply at Jacob Martin's. Quite a number of persons were disappointed, this week, because of the hitch in the circuit court, caused by Judge Bobo’s detention at Bluffton. Some forty persons have united with the Baptist church, at Pleasant Mills, the result of the series of meetings held there, which closed on last Sabbath. At the present price of cabbages it would pay to raise them extensiyely. The cabbage worm is not destructive to considerable fields, only appearing at the edges. Let us have an immense crop of krout.

The Democrat has heard some talk of late of organizing a shouting club at this place. Crack shots, and those who pride themselves upon their woodcraft should make a note of this. A preliminary meeting might develop what the talk is worth C. T. Dorwin has taken the agency for sale of the Kimble Organ and Piano, manufactured in Chicago. He elaims that he can sell these instruments for less money than any other in the market, and warrant every instrument. Organs on exhibition at the gallery. The'pleasam morning, Wednesday, was hardly stimulating enough to warrant farmers to plant corn, but it made a lady we know of terribly in earnest about planting cabbages, after hearing Rev. Reynold s story on Longfellow's day, room No. 5, public school. The truth is they would have been planted before this had the ground not been frozen. Last Saturday, a couple of enthusiastic mules commenced backing the sled to which they were hitched into a team of horses hitched to a wagon, and if they bad not been stopped in their frantic efforts, would have backed them over a pile of rock into a vacant cellar in the burnt district. Mules are industrious when they get started and it did not matter to these mules which way they got started. The latest aestheticism is knee breeches. It is now claimed that the old time trousers are grovelling in their habits, always trying to get down into the dirt, while they do not permit any display of the human form divine, male calves; besides doing away with the objections to old style pantloons. The only objection The Democrat has to offer is, that it might have a tendency to raise the price of sawdust and thus indirectly add to the expense of our ice cream.

In Demorest's Monthly Magazine for March we find a great variety of interesting articles. Among these are. “Life in Black Forest," “Henri Regnault,’’ ‘ Gastronomic Gossip,” “Antique Gems,” “Traveling and Other Matters,” and ‘ The Grcdner Valley.” Jenny June continues her pleasant articles, “How We Live in New York," and Carlotta Perry furnishes an excellent story, “How I Found My Freedom.” Mrs. Alexander's serial, “The Admiral’s Ward,” keeps up its interest; and “Current Topics” is both entertaining and instructive. Every department is replete with useful and entertaining reading, and the illustrations arc remarkably good, the frontispiece being a fine steel engraving after the much admired painting “Willing,' b J the artigt Metzmachcr. As a family magazine, Demorest's fulfills every requirement.

Let your intentions be good and then live in accord with them—the best of them. W. R. Smith & Co. are establishing an extensive tile factory in the neighborhood of the Dent school house, east of town. The Democrat is awful anxious to brag about the quality of soniebodys maple syrup. And the bragging will harmonize with the quality thereof. The seventh annual commencement exercises of the Fort Wayne Medical College, were held at the Acadamy of Music, Fort Wayne, Wednesday, evening, February 28th. John G. Kuhn, who lives two miles south of town, has sold his farm of eighty acres to an Ohio man, for $5,200. He has bought near Coldwater, Mercer county, Ohio, and will remove thither in a short time. The horseback mail is almost a thing of the past. There are but few of our readers kow that there is semiweekly mail, between this place and Convoy, 0., on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago road. Wells county has more than its full quota of papers already. And now some of them are trying to give a boom to a new paper, to be democratic, but in opposition to the Banner. It will only pan out a boom on paper, as it exists in the minds of some of the editors, who would be pleased to see the Banner in the same position financially they themselves occupy. Next Sabbath, in the M. E. Church, in the morning, the subject will be “Church Music” and in the evening, “Church Honesty.” All are invited to attend. The difficulties we have had with our furnace flue will be entirely remedied so t hat we can make all comfortable. M. A. Teague, Pastor. Rev. A. S. Reynold's fifth lecture on “Bunyon's Pilgrim's Progress.” at the Presbyterian Church, on Sabbath evening last, drew a crowd ed house, and was listened to with maiked attention. These lectures, which will be continued for several Sabbath evenings to come, are interesting and instructive, and well worth going to hear. In this connection it is but just and proper to say that Mr. Reynold's plea for High School Education, delivered at the Union School building on the evening proceeding the late connty Institute, which we inadvertently neglected to notice at the time, was both masterly and opportune and received the plaudits and thanks of the audience., Somtime since Tub Democrat called attention to the fact that the expense to subscribers to a local telephone exchange was greater than the business of such places as Decatur would justify, and that sooner or later this fact would come to the surface. Kokomo, in this state, has the advantage of this place in population and wealth and does a larger business than we do. Kokomo, also, has a telephone exchange. The Kokomo Di«patch, has reached the same conclusion that we have that the rate demanded for instruments for office and house use are extravagant and oppressive. At a recent meeting in Kokomo, represented by one-half the patrons of the exchange, a resolution was passed to withdraw from the exchange unless the rates were reduced. The Wabash Courier thinks the Kokomo meeting only represents the advance guard of an army of kickers, which the Telephone Company will be compelled to do battle with. And says the rates asked are too high and the reduction asked by Kokomo reasonable.

Richard Henry Stoddard’s brilliant narrative of the "Life ot Washington Irving” forms No. 4 in the elegant little Elzevir Library, and is sold for the price of only 6 cents! Afttr all cheap and handsome books are not limited to the so-called “pirat ical re prints,” as this illustrates: the publishers paid Mr. Stoddard SSOO for the Manuscript of this sketch—which is a tax of only a half-cent each, when chaiged over to one hundred thousand of their customers. No. 5 of the Library, also just issued, contains Andrew Wilson’s “The Sea Serpents of Science, price 2 cents, and No. 6, Tenny>, n’s fomous "Enoch Arden, ’ price 2 tents—in former years sold in large edi ions for SI.OO, or more, per copy. An-d yet these numbers are in beautiful type, handsomely printed on excellent paper. Sold by all dealers. John B. Alden, Publisher, 18, Vesey St. New York.

ATTEMPTED aUICIDE. John K. Il HoailicrlaaJ Takeo Carboile Acid Wednesday, J. R. 11. Southerland, who is a painter by trade, and is employed in the Wagon and Carriage Manufactory of John King, jr., came to his din ncr in a very depressed condition of mind. He drank a cup of tea and ate sparingly, if anything. About one o’clock p m. he took a quantity of Carbolic acid. It was soon discovered that something was wrong, when Dr. D. G. M. Trout was sent for, who soon ascertained what he had taken. Antidotes were administered, when he commenced vomiting and at the time of writing he had vomited freely for several hours, and was supposed to be probably out of danger.

Mr. Southerland is an excellent mechanic and a sober steady workman. He formerly lived at Kalamazoo, Mich, where he was divorced from his first wife, but soon after coming to Decatur was married to a daughter of Calvin Murray, with whom he has lived happily and pleasantly. At times he has been subject to periods of depression of mind, at which time he seems to borrow all the trouble possible. He has been very reticient, and whatever his trouble is, has managed to keep it to himself. At times from his mutterings, it is supposed it has some connection with his former marriage, though what, if any. cannot be ascertained. Since the above was written, we have learned that the validity of his divorce from his first wife, he imagines is questioned, and that people are constantly discussing it to his disadvantage. This is the exciting cause, of his trouble, and probably induced him to attempt his life. It seems that he had meditated two methods of suicide, as he had bortowed his father-in-law’s razor, which he proposed to use, but finally decided to use poison. Thursday noon as we go to press he is considered out of danger. Telephone Exchange. Mr. Jas. W. Sale, of Bluffton, was at this place Friday last, in the interest of the Midland Telephone Exchange. He desires to connect Decatur with the Telephone circuit, by building a line from Bluffton to this place and then extend it south to Richmond, which would connect us with all the places connected with the Telephone circuit. He will give our citizens an opportunity to manifest their good will in this direction by taking a small amount of stock in the concern, for which the Company will issue cupon tickets, so that the messages over the line will cost to the holders of cupons twenty cents, five cents less than the regular rate. In other words, if Decatur is attached to the circuit, we can have the privilege of talking to any person in any place attached to the circuit five minutes for twentyfive cents. We need some better means of communication with the towns.and cities we are doing business with than we now enjoy. True, we have the telegraph, but that is too expensive for many purposes. Besides, our experience has been that a letter is a surer method of communication and will reach the party addressed one-half the time in advance of the telegraphic fuessage. Our exI perience is the experience of many others. The telegraph is an uncertain means of communication, by reason of the failure to promptly transmit ant deliver messages. This may hurt the feelings of those who have charge of our local offices, but it is nevertheless true.

The proposed telephone is the best means for rapid communication that is now offered us. It is to be hoped that our business men will lend their influence to assist the enterprise by all proper encouragement. The matter of a local exchange is an alter consideration, not at all connected with the present proposition, which can be considered at the proper time and be decided according to its merits.

A TEACHER FINED. He Admiuistei a Cerpornl Punishment le the Bad Bey—Home Refleetlone Thereon. N. L. Smith, who is teaching in district No. 4, Hartford township, was arrested for assault and battery, at the instance of the father of one of his refactory pupils, for administering corporal punishment. He was taken before Esq. Drew, of Geneva, and a fine assessed against him. It is understood he will appeal his case to the circuit court. Our information came from one who gave the history of the case as it was circulating in the neighborhood So far as the statement given above, it is doubtless correct, so far as what follows, is the story as our informant heard it. with our comments : It seems the young man who was punished, is noted where he resides for his manly and independent ways. One evidence of his manliness is the immense amount of eating tobacco he can consume in a given time. He can spit farther than the typical tobacco chewer of Kentucky, and cover more square yards of surface with saliva than any upon record. See Clipper Almanac for statistics. There are thousands of boys of hue age who are cultivating these accomplishments, uu - less biased by a false prejudiced, growing out of a rivalry to excel in this particular, who would be perfectly content in acknowledging such accomplishments the perfection of manliness, judged from a boyish stand point. Besides this, the young man boasts of being the condensed extract of stub bornness- that he was never known to yield to others, right or wrong. Sei fishness is another characteristic that overshadows the other brutal instincts of his nature. Those are some of the graces the youth has cultivated, which has dwarfed his moral natire in a sum total greater than we are willing to atkno wledge. The teacher in order to pre vent the youth from displaying these accomplishments before tha school, caused a box filled with saw dust to be placed at his seat to serve as a spittoon. This the young man was required to replen ish with dry saw dust daily. As a further indication of his manlines ho soon managed to handle his improvised spittoon so roughly that it had to be repaired. This done, to add to the luster of his muleishness, he refused to empty the spittoon. Tnis brought about the “irrepressible conflict” that resulted in corporal punishment and a charge of assault and battery. This may, or may not be, an exaggerated account of this particular transaction. Let that be as it may. It is, however, a truthful description of the typical boy, who is always a disturbing element in schools. If he does not make himself obnoxious by chewing tobacco, he will in some other way. The brute sways and governs these fellows. The moral and intellectual are the cyphers of life. So far as govccrning their intercourse with their fellows

Down deep in the hearts of these typical boys, mixed up with rubbish, 1 there is, however, the germs of all \ that makes boys manly in the highest and noblest sense. It is the province of the teacher to develop these latent germs of intellect. The brute within must be chained down by reason and will ; and tamed by a spirit of unselfish devo- , ticn that will compel respect from even typical boys, who are just in their measure of men and their motives, if nothing else. They will, if properlytreated, soon yield to superior intellect, even as the brute acknowledges the superiority of man. Again, when our worst boys learn to control themselves, wl en they have conquered themselves, in whateverway their path leads, they are always found the leaders in whatever they undertake. There is a responsibility rest-; ing upon teachers to direct aright the minds of youth intrusted to their keeping, so that the silent forces ol the in- | tellect will keep m subjection the brutal instincts of their nature, and direct ■ their stepts aright along the great highway of life. — ■■ < LIVING WITNESSES. The hundreds of hearty, and healthy looking men, women and children, that have been rescued from beds of pain, sickness and well nigh death by Parker s Ginger Tonic are the best evidences in the world of its sterling merit and worth. You will find such in almost every community. Council Proceedings. The regular session of the City Council took place Tuesday evening. There was two petitions presented for sidewalks. The petition to gravel Second street, from the Court House to its intersection with Winchester street, thence to > the Narrow Gauge depot, which had ;, been previously reierred to the committee on Streets and Sewers reported favorable to its construction. The report of the Committee was adopted, and the City Attorney ordered to draft an ordinance in conformity therewith, to be submitted at the next regular

meeting. It is understood the material to be used will be tba stone spalls the refuse as the st rue quarries as a base with a heavy coat of gravel to complete.
