An infant child of Alex. Barnett died Tuesday morning. If you wish to know bow mueh a man is not worth ask the assessor. Med Walch s first excursion will be to the Soldier’s Home at Dayton. The I. 0. O. band discoursed some fine music on the street Friday night. The Closs, Elzey & Co. burglars seem to have got off safely with their booty. A cross babe can beat an alarm clock, said one who spoke from experience. The cold rain of Sunday wa« follow ed by a hail Monday morning that made fires and overcoats in demand. Root & Company, Fort Wayne, in their new advertisement offer novelties in Ladies' Cloaks, Suits and Dress Goods. Jay Dorwin is studying law with Messrs Heller and Hooper, and in connection with his studies is acting as real estate agent. Justices W’m. Drew and J. H. Runyan held an imjucst at the courthouse, Monday, and adjudged Wm. A. Snyder, of Hartford township, insane. It is expected that the case of the State vs. Tonellier will be tried at Bluffton the present term of the Circuit Court, which convened Monday. Island Park Assembly opens on the 2nd of June and closes on the 24th this year, and will attract double the number of people from this place it did last season. Thursday, Friday and Saturday Auditor Christen sold in the aggregate the construction of some sixty miles of ditches, for draining purposes. There was a large attendance from almost all portions of the county. The graduating class at the public school are busy preparing for the occasion, which to many is the event of their lives. The commencement exer cises promise to be unusually interesting this year. The woods are full of big strapping well dressed men in almost every di rection from this place. They are gentlemen of elegant leisure. They “toil not neither do they spin,” and with them “the world goes merry as a mar riage bell.” Invitations were printed at this office announcing the marriage of Miss Belle Merriss and 11. A. Fristoe, both of Pleasant Mills, on the 6th of May. Ceremony at the Baptist church, and reception at the residence of the bride s parents. In an article published elsewhere in this issue, June Ist is the time fixed for putting on through trains on the ; Chicago & Atlantic Railroad. Our , people here connected with the road ; say that their understanding is that j through trains will be put on May Ist. . One of our business men sighed long and loud for a drayman last week, and did not get one either. If some one will get an Irish jaunting cart to carry passengers, packages and light freight to any part of the city, we believe they , would soon have ail they can attend to. The Standard says the fishing season has opened up on the reservoir. There is talk of a fishing expedition from this place going to the reservoir. In iact we have been invited to go along to take in the whales. There are plenty of people who can catch small fry. The Pleasant Mills base ball team have reorganized and will not be satisfied until they have cleaned out local clubs, including Decatur. This we hope they will do. just to wake up cur boys and put them on their metal. This paragraph is a caution for the Monmouth team to get down to practice, if they do not wish to be humiliated. League Park, situated at the north end of Calhoun street is the name and location of the base ball ground at Ft. Wayne, for the season. The grand stand is said to be roomy, the ground in good order, and the location is cer tainly convenient of e access to the peo pie. With the proposed additional tram on the G. R. & I. railroad, to en able our people to return home the same evening the games would attract a large attendance from this place. Thirty years ago the packet landing, at the foot of Columbia street was to Fort Wayne what the south depot is to-day. Should any one at that time have propheeied that within thirty years the eanal would be filled up, and the bed used as a railroad track he would have been set down as one of the foolish ones. All this has literally occurred. Although it be true that allmost any hour trains can be seen passing over the old canal bed, yet to one who was familiar with those other acenes of the past, it is hard to realize the truth that such wonderful changes hav» ocewwed within our own memory. (

It snowed Monday. ; . Election to morrow. A ote for the best man. Candidates are numerous. Sunday la t was a disagreeable day. Saturday was a good business day in Decatur. Geneva was well represented in Decatur last week. Have you voted yet? will be the question asked to morrow. I here will be a light docket for the May term of the circuit court. The polls will be open to-morrow from 1 o'clock p. m. till 8 p. m. Henry Voglewede uses one column of The Democrat this week again, read it. Ed W icks is a dandy since he disposed of that beautiful “Jim Fisk” mustache. The friends of Miss Lydia Bollman will be glad to hear she is rapidly improving at Grand Rapids. The Pleasant Mills base ball club are going to challenge our home team. Boy- you will have to practice up. Pleasant Mills claims to have a base ball nine that are “husslers." The Decatur’s will give them a practice shortly. Jim Place is making extensive prep arations for an opening. He is furnishing an ice cream parlor up stairs for the ladies. The population of the earth is divided into those who do and those who don’t, and Decatur folk are no exception to the rule. The grand jury will be around poking its nose into slight irregularities, etc., the next term of court. Get readytor their interview. The I. O O. F. band regret the loss of their tuba and baritone players. Harvey Hart and Frank France. They left to join Castello's circus Tuesday. Sol. Billman is working at liis old trade, shoemaking and mending, over Pete Forbings, where his old customers will find him when they wish work done. Geneva seems to be developing a wonderful amount of fighting stock of late. They do not seem to be particular with what they cut, slash, and hit with down there. Our business men find the telenhone very useful to them, and as the connections in different directions are enlarged, will use it in preference to the teh graph. James Lumsden, who has had charge ot the ballasting .4 a division of the C. & A. railroad, is now iu charge of a division of the Chicago & Alton railroad, as Road-Master, with headquarters at Jollier. His family left here week before last to join him. Jackson's factory caught fire Saturday night from -parks from the smoke stack falling upon the roof. It was blazing up considerably before it was discovered ,3116 the alarm given, so much so that some thought it could not be controlled, but happily it was extinguished before doing much harm. The latest swindling dodge we find recorded. Two strangers —apparently, meet at a farmer s house, manage to stay over night if they can and make a trade before they leave in the morning iu which the farmer's name is wanted as a witness to the contract, which afterwards turns up as a promisory note fixed up in a sum satisfactory to the sharpers. Dr. C. A. Jelleff assisted by Dr. Me Millen, at the request of friends, held a post mortem examination over the remains of T. W. Andrews who was buried last week. The cause of death was ulceration of the pyloric orifice. There was an abscess iu the left lung and a plcuratic adhesion quite extensive in character, but the difficulty in the lower portion ot the stomach produced the fatal result. Young Bly who was wounded some two weeks since by the accidental discharge of his gun is yet alive with gome prospects of recovery. For several days the wound has been discharging bile indicating injury to the liver and Dr. Freeman now thinks some of the shot penetrated his lungs. Iu nine-ty-nine cases* out of one hundred his wounds would have proved mortal before this, and his chances of recoverynow are nearly the same ratio. One of our subscribers at Geneva ' complains of a borrowing fiend, lie ! says —is one of the best patrons of TflE Democrat. He always looks 11 over carefully before the person who subscribed tor it is permitted to see it. We are afraid to mention the fellows name for fear it would make him feel so mean about it he would go off and hang himself. He is entitled to all the pity we have iu store for the uufortunate, the same fellow has a considerable following around Decatur. Last week Dr. Freeman was called | to the bedside of his father, Dr. William Freeman, of Camden, Jay county, but before he reached his father s home > he had expired. His death was so s d den that a rumor was pread abroad that he had committed suicide, by taking an over dose of morphine. Dr. Freeman was satisfied from the his.ory of the case that such was not tbe case, and called in Dr. C. S. Arthur, of Portland, to hold an autopsy, which revealed the fact that the cause 01 his death was a cystic tumor of the braiu.

The Democrat found one of its marked bullets in an article in the Fort Wayne Sentinel lately. Nothing better, however, could be expected from the pious young man of the Sentinel after his association with the 1 evangelist Davis. Wednesday was the 44th birthday anniversary of Mrs. John R. Cline. On that morning Mr. Cline conspiring with his neighbors induced her to come to Decatur to do some shopping. During her absence neighbors, friends and relatives gathered to the number of about one hundred, including the parents of Mr. and Mrs. Cline. The table was set out with a display of creature • comforts that would have graced a royal banquet. On her return home Mrs. Cline was overwhelmed by the surprise of such a reception. It was a plea-ant re union, which will be longremembered by Mrs. Cline. She was also tbe recipient of many useful and valuable presents, the list of which was furnished us, but from some cause was mislaid. Hon. David Studabaker, after a two weeks’ trip through the North west, embracing Dakota and Montana, returned home Saturday night. The items following were gathered in a few moments’ chat with him. He bought a half section of wheat land in Mon tana, and had several tracts picked out, which he found taken up on his return to the land office. There is an immense emigration to Dakota this sprii g, and desiiable lauds are being rapidly taken up. Thirty bushels of No. 1 wheat per acre is about the average crop West of Dakota lies Montana, which has very little tillable land. Rut it is one of the finest grazing countries in the world. The grass on the’prairies comes up thick in the spring and matures early, filled with nutritious seed. There being no rainfall, it is completely cured, remaining for the cattle to graze as they require it. The snow fall is very light, so that vast herds subsist during the winter, coming out in the spring fat and marketable beef, without any extra feed. Cattle thus wintered are now going into the Chicago market. Personals. Duke Sloops is in the city. Pat Burns has returned from A an Wert. Frank Schirmeyer is expected home to-morrow. John D.

THE HUNTER OF ’3«. A Ktory of One of William Boram m Marked Bullet*. The mention of the name of the old hunter, William Boram, iu a late Democrat, revived a story of him too good to be lost, and which we arc assured is true in every particular. As an illustration of character, it indicates him as an adept in strategy and ready to promptly meet every emergency of life. The story caries us back to ’36, at which time the country was sparsely populated. Most of the settlers were scatteied along the St. Marys a- that time and for a considerable period prior, from St. Marys to Fort Wayne was used as a highway for immigrants, who were pushing th ir way to the northwest byway of Cincinnati and F’ort Wayne. At St. Ma rys they would lash a couple of “pi rogues” together, take aboard their families and effects and float down the river to their destination. There was a bridle path through the woods and about the time of the opening of our story, a road was uuderbrushed between the two points mentioned. The settlers were very jolly fellows and paid but little injunction to the command to keep ’the sabbath holy In fact Sunday was a kind of holidiy. They would meet at some central point, exchange news and the gossip of their respective settlements and have a good time generally, until after the advent of the "school master” and the “cir-

cuit rider.” Jumping, wrestling, 1 boat racing and shooting at a mark were the favorite pa-stimes. Skill in handling the rifle, muscular strength and activity on foot were the on.y 1 patents of nubility recognized by the j settlers in those early days. And he 1 who was not distinguished iu at least one of these accomplishments would 1 occupy the same social position at 1 that period as the “poor white trash ( ot to-day. Honesty was the rule; dishonesty the exception. And woe be- 1 tide the thief. He was either met with a short shrift, or a social ostracism worse than death. This prelude , was deemed necessary to a proper un- , ders andb g and comprehension of our story. The incident about to be rerelated occurred at Jeremiah Roes’, who had settled about a mile and a half norm of Decatur and had already . a considerable opening or clearing. The place is now owned by Nimrod Dailey. Upon a certain Sunday late in the fall of ’36, or thereabouts, an unusua l number of the settlers had gathered al his place, among them our friend Boram. The Friday previous Mr. Roe had “butchered,” killing a considerable number of hogs. In the shoulder of the largest, when culling it up, he found a marked bullet which all recognized as Boram si At this time hunters of any prominence always put a private mark upon their bullets, so that it would enable them to settle 1 disputes in case both shot at the same animal, if one ball did net pass through and remained iu the carcass. The day before, the Rocs had turned out iu force to hunt deer for venison to put with their pork to make sausage. Among the trophies of the hunt was a fine buck. Keeping the finding of the bullet a secret, they approached Boram during the day, with the bullet taken from the hog, iuformhiiu that they had found a marked bullet in the shoulder of the buck. On inspection, Boram said the bullet was his and that he could recognize it among a thousand. But, said Mr. Roe, when he thought Boram was fast and tight in the trap he had set for him, “1 cut that bullet out of the big barrow.” Boram hung his head but tor a moment. When be raised his head i his countenance bore a grieved and j resigned expression, that of a man who by bis looks as well as his air and manner acknowledged the implied charge, but at the same time resented it in his mute appeal to his auditors, remarking in a slow, deliberate and ’ emphatic manner, this remember bei mg before the days of Pinafore, “I 1 will tiet-er loan my gun again. I Boram had plead his cause effectually. A W'..HAN'S EXI'ERIENUE. Mothers and Daughters should feel ' alarmed when weariness constantly op--1 press them, “if lam fretful from exI haustion of vital powers and tbe color I is fading from my face, Paiker's Giui ger ’Tonic, gives quick relief- It j builds me up and drives away pain with wonderful certainty. —Buffalo ; a > .

Tramps. It is well that our people should keep a good lookout for tramps and suspicious-looking strangers roaming the country. Men who are able to tramp are able to work, and none need remain idle. And especially at this season of the year it is not charity to feed such.- There is an outpour of the vicious and idle element from our large cities into the country at this season of the year, because it is easier to live without labor in the country during warm weather, and there are more opportunities to give range to their vicious propensities without detection than there are in the city. Our exchanges are filled with paragraphs chronicling their misdeeds, in which .petty thieving and burglary figure as the principal features. Occasionally there is something worse, as occurred last week at Warsaw, where two little girls of thirteen were in the Woods gathering vines for decorating purposes, were caught by tramps and brutally outraged. After reviving from the effects of the chloroform administered, they returned to town and gave the alarm, but too late for the apprehension of the rascals. Our people in city, town and country cannot be too careful of the tramp, if they wish to avoid being imposed upon in some way or another. They average as a bad lot, and heroic treatment is the best means to adopt to prevent them from coming out first best in our intercourse with tnem. The C. & A. Road. Tlie Indianapolis Journal of late date, has the following interesting item relative to the Chicago & Atlantic Railroad: S. W. Snow, genera] passenger agent of the Chicago & Atlantic road, has issued a very attractive four page circular, on one page there being a map of the route from Chicago to New York. In speaking of the route he says: “No railroad was ever constructed with closer attention to scientific de tail than the Chicago & Atlantic. The route was located with such masterly skill that the road may be called an almost literally straight line, and there is no perceptible grade from one terminus to another.” Gtneral Passenger Agent Snow, in a lei ter to the railroad reporter of the Journal, says : “ I notice in your paper of April 4th that somebody has notified you that the trains of the Chicago & Atlantic Railway, to be run through from Chicago to New York, are being built at Wilmington, Del. I degire to correct this statement, as our trains are being built by the Pullman Company, at Pullman, 111., and will consist of a mail car and a second-class coach, a magnificent smoking car, with buffett, where travelers can lunch at their leisure, two first-class coaches, and elegant Pullmaw sleepers. These trains will be of uniform design and color, and will be the finest in the country. They will be run through solid between Chicago and New York, without any change of any class. A e expect to put these trains on by June Ist, not later."

Portland Items. Portland, Ind., April 23rd, 1883. Editor Democrat Thinking a few items from this place might not be amiss, 1 volunteer to offer them with no further apology. Some excitement exists concerning tne Bluffton and Union City Railroad. The contract lias been let. but it is not certainly decided that it will pass through Portland. Still I see no reason why it should not, —not that it would be of any great benefit to the town, but a decided advantage to the road. The business of the town would no doubt beti fit the road more than the road would help the place. There will be a great deal of building and other improvements during the summer. It is stated that contracts have been let for three hundred new buildings to be erected duringthe summer. Eighty-live of those will be business buildings. The town i extend- i ing its limits in ail directions. The demands for laborers and me \ chanics is greater than the supply ! Carpenters and masons are in demand, i Your readers no doubt will be interested in the Eastern Indiana,Norma) School an Business Institute, which opens June sth. Tue college and boarding hall will be finished by that time. The accommodations will be made for an opening attendance of three hundred students. Prof. George Suman is the principal. Those interested might write him for a circular. Mr. Marsh, of the Commercial, proposes to build a large business block during the summer. This will make the second block for bimin town. Certainly some editors make money. There is an excellent opening here for factories and machine shops on an ' extended scale. Yours, T. \V. Fields. Memorial Day.
