THE ECATUR DEDMOCRAT BY A. J. HILL. Friday, March, i 6, 1883. The Star Route trials at Washington and the Gouger Mandler case at Lafayette, seems to be long winded affairs. A new counterfeit fifty cent piece of the pattern of 1830, has been put into circulation. It is considered a very dangerous counterfeit, being of the exact weight and having a clear metallic ring. The authorities think its composition consists largely of German silver. By a recent decision of the Postmaster General, hereafter no matter can be forwarded in the mails after it reaches its original address without a new prepayment of postage, except elters which have one full rate paid hereon, namely, three cents, and newspapers or other periodicals which are to be forwarded to subscribers from one post office to another which are in the same county where the paper to be forwarded.is published and in whole or part printed. A NEW industry is the manufacture of spurious gold quarters. It is generally supposed that the Government issued them, but finding them inconvenient on account of their small sixe stopped the coinage. But the truth is the Government never issued such a coin, and their manufacture and sale is a violation of law. The Secret Ser vice department are looking after those who are engaged in their manufacture. The latest seizure was made at Y oungstown, Ohio. They are used as bangles by ladies and carried as pocket pieces, but are of very little intrinsic value. C. & A. R. R. Items. The work of ballasting which has been suspended for some time past on the Chicago 4 Atlantic railroad has been partially resumed. There is some fifty miles of ballasting to do, the gravel of which is obtained at three different points on the road. At Kenton Geneva and Rochester. Construction trains commenced taking out gravel at Kenton this week. They are now ditching the pit at Geneva and if the weather continues favorable will commence getting out gravel at all the pits by next week. It is estimated that it will require about sixty working days with all the pits running to complete the work. Monday the men engaged in putting up the telegraph line reached this place with the first wire. The second working party with the second wire reached here Wednesday. The freight and passenger depots at this point have been completed and are excellent building for the purpose intended, being neat and commodious with excellent arrangements for the accomodation of passengers and the handling of f-eight. The stock yards will be east of the depots and Mercer street, in the neighborhood of the Catholic cemetery. MONMOUTH ITEMS. BY X. L. C. B. Miss Lou. Yocum, of Cherubusco, is visiting friends here. The Aber school taught by Dora McLaughlin closed last Friday. Ralph Dutcher moved in the dwelling occupied by Rev. Hinshaw. Frank Albrand in working in the the saw mill. Quaker meeting closed last Sabbath evening. Ben Baxter has taken up his abode in the Baptist church, keeping old bach. Mr. P. W. Smith contemplates taking a trip to N. C. soon. Miss Callie Christen and Miss Tillie N umbers are both at home, having each taught a four months school in Monroe township. The wheat crop in this section of country looks poor, and will be below the average. Dave says the Doctor is a holy terror when he gets on the rampage. The Smith Bros, took a flying trip to Fort Wayne, Monday. The in full blast, new seats having been put in, and all that is now needed is to have galleries constructed for the accommodation of spectators. The new member admitted last week says it goes ahead of any other order he ever belonged to. Con. Ualleymer raised his new barn last week. He lives near Monmouth and loves to chat with widows and orphans, especially the latter. Mr. Christ Yonse, who lives on the edge of Allen county, built a house last summer, which caught fire and was burned to the ground last Sat urday night, the result of throwing hot ashes into a barrel which occupied a place too near the house. As far as we could find out, neatly all the furniture was saved. Mr. Y. has already got to work, intending to build immediately. The Fifth avenue ranch, alluded to in a previous comunication, was bombarded last Saturday Door, windows and transom were well plastered, and it looked next day, as though Easter-eggs had come around a little o previous.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE. In a Solid Gold Watch, aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, a large proportion of r.etal is needed only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and supply strength. The surplus gold is actually needless. In Jama Paa' Patent GM Watch Gxus thia waste is saved, and solidity and strength increased by a simple process, at one-half the cost. A plate of sou® GOLD is soldered on each side of a plate of hard nickel composition meui, and the tliree are then passed between polished steel rollers, From this the cases, backs, centers, bezels, etc., are cut and shaped by dies and formers. The gold is thick enough to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and engine turning. These insee have lieeu worn perfectly smooth by use without removing the gold. This it the only can made under thi» proeat. Each 'ate is accompanied with a valid yuaramec signed by the manvjacturert warraatusy U Is eear 20 years. 150,000 of these Cues now carried in the United Stales and Canada.
