A number of Geneva people are in the city this week attending court. M. P. Walch will run his first excursion to Rome City, next Wednesday. The Chicago & Atlantic time table will be found on the outside of this issue. The ladies of the M. E. church propose giving a strawberry and ice cream social soon. The new crop of straw hats for la dies and gentlemen are in colors too tedious to mention. Commercial travelers are so plenty upon our streets that it is sometimes difficult to run the blockade. Dolph Dague has opened up his fruit stand again. It is a great accommodation to people in the north end. Jas. Place has ice cream parlors that no city need be ashamed of. Give him a call and decide for yourself. Several frosts this week, but so light that vegetation was not injured so far as we have been able to learn. The C. & A. railway are now open for through business, and will receive freight for all points east and west. The burnt district, if the present rate of progress is continued long will soon be known as the built up district. The case of A. F. Simpson—f orgery and Moses Moore—felonious assault, have been set for trial, Thursday next. The Pleasant Mills base ball team gave the Decaturs some exercise last Saturday. Both clubs will do better later. People are getting ready for the vis its of the musquito and fly, by baring them with wire screen windows and doors. Slight change in the time table of the GR. &I. this week. The mid-day trains pass at Monmouth instead of this place as heretofore. The Willshire Independent announced the retirement of C. E.

He was captured and is now held for trial. | Sam McDonald, the Arcola murderer of Louis Laurent, was tried at I't. Wayne this week and found guilty of murder in the first degree, and the death penalty affixed. An effort was made this week to organize a stock company for the promotion of base ball. It was not entirely a success, though it was not wholly unproductive of results in that direction. The boiler of the first locomotive used in America, passed over the C. & A. railroad Wednesday,enroute for the Chicago Railway Exposition, consigned by the D. & H. C. Co. R R. Carbondale, Pa Miss Allie, a ten year old daughter of Benjamin McLaughlin, of Kirkland township, fell a short time since and broke her arm in an old fracture where it was broken several years since. She is doing well. An old man with an accordeon attachment labored dolefully, industriously on.our streets Wednesday. His music went around the corner, and re sounded far up and down the streets. “There was music in the air.’ Mrs. Ira Blossom was pleasantly surprised Saturday, by a number of her fr ends coming in with well filled baskets containing an excellent dinner, which they immediately spread upon the table. A good time was bad An excursion train of thirteen coaches went over the Narrow Gauge, from Dayton to Frankfort, at wh.ch latter place they were trans ferred to the Lake Erie and c-tern road for Bismark. Kinsas. The Marshal had a conglomerate set of drunks in the cooler Saturday night One fellow who boasted that no man ""could arrest him, left the city by the back streets Sunday morning. All the starch was taken out of him by layinin the loek up over night. Croquet has gone out and will soon be one of the lost arts. Lawn tennis scams to be taking its place to a grea ter or less extent, ever where but t is immediate locality It is pronounce ly a better game than croquet, an 1 it once secures a footing will last.

The grand jury is in session this week. It is the greatest institution known to moderns to make a man s best recollection very indefinite—sufficiently so not to risk an indictment upon such testimony, is the testimony of the public prosecutor. Every farmer’s son should learn how to bud and graft. This is a day and age of good fruit, which sells at a good price always. Those who bud and graft for themselves are not at the mercy of unprincipled fruit tree vendors. This is the season for grafting. Try an experiment or two, boys. Andrew Fritz has opened out a drug store at Preble, the first station west of Decatur on the Chicago & Atlantic railroad. Andrew is a good business man, a competent druggist, and we predict will build up a fine business, which will be a great accommodation to the people of that section. Local passenger business is not as good on the Chicago and Atlantic as it will be when they commence runn - ing through trains. Passengers for Chicago do not like to lay over. All this objection, will however, be remedid in a lew days. When this occurs, our railroad connection with the busy world, will leave nothing to be desired. Street Commissioner Archbold visited the busi Less men Tuesday night, giving instruction not to place goods on the streets exceeding two feet and one half from the budding, for display. His orders were complied with, with one or two exceptions, and the exceptions will comply, we predict, before legal measures are.brought to bear to enforce the order. Charley Spencer and J. W Place have had the matter in hand of securing subscribe)s for a local telephone exchange, in which they claim to have been successful, having secured thirty names for three months, the number required hy the telephone company before they will proceoi to put up wires, open out an office, etc. When put to the test, however, but eighteen sub - scribed. Monday morning the extra train on the G. R. & I. railroad, between Portland and Ft M ayne, commenced running. Trains leave Portland at 6:10 a. m., arrive at Decatur 7:20 a. m. Returning the leave Ft. Wayne at 7:20 p. m., and arrive at Decatur 8:15 p. in. This, will, we predict, become as popular and profitable a train as the one that leaves Ft. Wayne in the morn ing for Richmond, and returns in the evening. Friday night about 2 o'clock a. m., of last week, several of our citizens were aroused by an explosion which they were unable to locate. The mystery was explained, Saturday morning, on the arrival of Ft. Wayne papers. The explosion was caused by the use of dynamite in the dam at Williamsport, known in an early day as Muldoon’s mills, now owned by Maurice Cody, at Ft. Wayne. The dam was injured by the explosion to the ex:ent of SSOO. The levee east of this place has been raised this spring, so that carriages and wagons can pass over it at any stage of the water, except when at its ex i tremc height. No ordinary raise in I the river will now interfere with the ' travel. Trustee King seized the right I opportunity, while excavating for cellars, to make the fill at the nominal cost of hauling the dirt If the levee could have a good coating of gravel or broken stone, it would make a roadway that would gladden the hearts of all who have occasion o travel over it Miss Ella J. Miller, who has been our constant correspondent at Rossville, lays aside the pen this week, as her school closes and she returns to | city but will teach a school near town. I Miss Miller has proved one of the best correspondents ever attached to Mail staff, and it is with great regret that we lose her services, for which no thanks are sufficient. Her letters have been read with pleasure by all readers of the Mad, and anything from her pen will always find a place in our columns. The North Topeka Mad Surveyors have been running a route between Van Wert and Willshire this week. They will proceed west, it is understood, either by Berne or Geneva and thence to Camden. Further saith not. A delegation from Geneva, consisting of J. D. Hale, Natt. Heaston and W. W. Roberts went to Willshire, Monday for the purpose of giving them aid and comfort to go byway of Geneva. The line is Toledo, Indianapolis and St. Louis. Van Wert, Willshire, Geneva and Camden are points. It is understood to be a southwest extension of the Canada Southern. Gus Schlegel is building a velocipede, the motive power of which is a spring, which he expects will run his ' machine and its load three hundred yaids. where three moves of alever will wind the thing up ready for another run. The Democrat apprehends that : Gus. will have his labor for his pains, and that there wil 1 prove to be more of that kind of force about ms machine. which it takes for a man to lift himself over a fence by his boot straps than he now calculates upon. Gus. is a good mechanic, however, and whether his machine will come up to his expectations or not, there is one thing certain about it. the mechanical part will net be a failure. i

A HAU WILLIAM. The Flrat Round el Lrirnl PnnlMhment, and a Second in ihe Back Ground. Last week Ella Puffenberger, of Berne, filed her affidavit before Justice Bailey, charging that her husband, William, had abandoned her. The affidavit further stated that the parties had been legally married on the 9th of April, and that the fair Ella, was deserted on the 10th, after one day's connubial felicity. The defendant had taken refuge in Wells county, but was brought before the court by Constable Worden. He plead guilty and was fined &10 and costs, which he paid and went on his way rejoicing. The prosecution was begun under a misapprehension of the facts. The fair defendant was under the impression that the fine would be for her benefit, instead of the s hool fund. It is very probable the end of the case has not yet been reached. If the woman’s story was true, which we have no reason to doubt, being supported by corroborating circumstances, William is a bad man, and should pay the penalty of his trifling with an honest maid, ft seems that she was employed as a domestic in the house of his father. She was fair and found favor in his sight. They wooed; she consented to be his; then was tempted, under the most favorable opportunities and yielded to his opportunities, under the sa. cred promise of marriage William had made to her. It is the old story. She soon found herself in an interesting condition, at which William’s ardor cooled. The terrors of tho law compelled him to regaid bis promise. They were niarriee as above stated. He fled after a day and wrote her a letter that he had only married her to avoid a prosecution for bastardy. William should have jamed into his face a paosecutiun for seduction, and will probably get it in due time. He has developed a sufficient amount of bad faith all around to entitle him to the severest penalties known to the law, in such cases made and provided, and he has the best wishes of the Democrat that he may yet get his just deserts. Bad Boys. Parents of eight to twelve-year-old boys would do well to keep posted of their whereabouts during absence from home. There is a large gang of boys who make a practice of boarding the different trains arriving and departing from this place, knowing that they have to stop at the crossings These trains are boarded by the boys frequently, while in motion, with a hap-py-go-lucky disregard for life and limb, which will ensure the crushing of some one or more of them under the wheels of the cars sooner or later. Ordinances or office rs will not prevent them from having their fun, for they well know the ways of those in authority. The only remedy is for parents to take the matter in hand and put a stop to it. The editor saw a half-dozen of them board a gravel train on the C. & A. railroad the other day, that called for our admiration of the activity and daring, but made us shudder to think of the consequences ol one little slip. ELEGANCE AND PURITY. Ladies who appreciate elegance and purity arc using Parker * Hair Balsam. It is the best article sold for restoring gray hair to its oringinal color, beauty and lustre. Wool lor Market, Our farmerswill soon be marketing their wool. The question is how to put the fleece into the best possible shape to bring the best possible price. Your neighbor may have much finer and better wool than you, but will not get so much for it as you do for yours, and why ? Sheep sometimes come through the winter in a very dirty condition, unless good care is given them If the wool is filled with natural secretions from the sheep, and particles of manure, more or less dirt, sand and filth will adhere to the fleece. This will have to be removed before marketing, or you will find the price according to the condition of the wool. It is useless for you to attempt to roll up your fleece so as* to bide the filth and dirt from the wool merchant. The following presents were accidentally emitted in our report of the Fristoe-Merris wedding last week: B. Jackson and lady, jelly dish; Thos. Roebuck and lady, set glassware; Tona Roebuck and lady, two bread plates; Maggie Gilpin, pickle castor; Della King, linen stand cloth; Siss Murray, pair vases; Orpha Mc.l/illen, two goblets; Miss Capitola Merris, Debrom Ind., one dozen salt cellars; A. H Holthouse and lady, Decatur, pair I Chinese sauce dishes: R D. Patterson and lady, glassware set; G. W. Archbold and lady, half dozen linen napkins; Henry Jackson and lady, fruit dish; Mrs. Murray, pickle dish; Miss S. E. Ray, bread dish; Adam Abgiure and lady’, set glassware; Maggie Hill, silver butter knife; Wm. Smith and lady, silver castor; Richard Baxter and lady, Waterloo, Ind., lamp. A WOMAN’S EXI’ERIENI E. Mothers and Daughters should feel alarmed when weariness constantly oppress them, “If lam fretful from ex haustion of vital powers and the color is fading from my face, Patker’s Ginger Tonic, gives quick relief- Itbuilds me up and drives away pain with wonderful certainty.’’—Buffalo lady.

IN f) IAN SKELETONS. Lom’ Burying << round Du* Fin— Bones mid Indian llelicN Found at the Gravel Pit, Geneva. Last week, with a view of unearthing something in regard to the skeletons that are being exhumed at the gravel pit of the 0. & A. railroad east of Geneva, a visit was paid to tho same. Several acres have been stripped and thousands of cubic yards taken out of the pit. At the time of our visit, some thirty or forty skeletons had been exhumed, many of them in a fine state of preservation. The teeth in all were perfectly sound, indicating that the Indians had no use for the offices of a dentist. The skeletons were taken out of a strip of ground about one hundred and fifty feet long by fifty wide, and were found nt a depth of from five to twelve feet. There seemed to be no regularity or system in laying off the ground, though from appearances of the disturbed stratas the burials occurred at intervals. In some places one skeleton would be found and in a single instance some half dozen were found buried together. In some of the pits only charred remains were found, indicating that the bodies had been cremated. Very few relics have been found, the sum total being a stone pipe without any carving or device, a stone hammer or two. Around the neck of a large skeleton, evidently a chief, was a small strand of copper beads, that had been forged out of crude copper, without smelling, and bent round into the shape of beads, to which was attached a small copper charm about one inch in length of a minature double bitted ax. A string of ivory or bone beads some three feet in length was also found, running from one-quarter to five-eighths of an inch in diameter, with a hole drilled through the center. To another and smaller strand of beads, oval in shape, that on first inspection seemed to be porcelain, but the material of which couldnolbe determined, was attached a small shell charm, representing a beaver. The okel eton of a woman was also taken up with a shield of shell over the right breast, some five inches in diameter. On one of the feet was a shell sandal, through which holes had been drilled; evidently to attach it to the foot. In all, the skeletons exhumed at this time, there has been no carvings or emblems to indicate the tribal connection or relation of the skeletons. The spot was probably used as a burying ground for those Indians who died or wo re accidentally killed on the adjacant hunting grounds of the upper Wabash, which in early days was a favorite spot for the Indian hunter to indulge in the chase. This, we judge, from the fact that no broken bones or skulls were found among the best preserved skeletons, indicating that they were good Indians and died a natural death, and were burned by sympathizing friends.

Reynolds, preached an interesting sermon to an attentive congregation Sabbath evening. Mr. Reynolds started for ’Detroit, J/ich., Monday evening, where he will receive an appointment to organize a church during his vacation th is summer.

I lie County Infirmary, Tuesday, Charley Jelleff, county physician, invited us to ride out to the County Infirmary with him. He had an interesting surgical case, of which the following is the history: Frederick Eichenberger, an aged man of six-ty-three; has for some time past been ditching for the farmers of Monroe, making his home with them while working. He is fond of his “schnaps,” and about the Ist of April went to Berne and stowed away a little more than he could carry, and failed to get home on time. Sometime during the night he reached the house of Abraham Somers, cold, wet and tipsy. He built a fire and laid down by the stove, cold, numb aud stupefied with his potations One of his legs came in contact with the stove and was baked, not burned, but the life was gone out of a considerable portion of the limb about the knee of his left leg. About the Ist of May he was sent to the Infirmary by the trustees of Monroe. He utterly refused to have his leg cut off until Monday, when he consented. The operation was made by Dr. Jelleff, assisted by Holloway and McMillen, and was successful in every particular, the limb showing ihe work of the skillful surgeon. The old man was as well as could be expeqted Tuesday, but the time elapsing after the injury and his age arc circumstances not to be overlooked in estimating his chances of final recovery. An examination of the record of admissions at the Infirmary shows that since the opening of the institution, January 15th, 1875, two hundred and weuty three persons have been received. Os this number quite a num ber have died and a large number discharged, leaving at present twentyeight inmates. Among them are twelve men, six women, and leu children. There are several bright children that should be bound out Or adopted. IttE Democrat speaks in behalf of these children, that they may find homes among cur people, where their is grat itude, love and labor, will compensate those who remove them from their present surroundings, and by teaching them habits cf industry and giving them a chance at our free schools will enable them to care for themselves better than their unfortunate parents did for them. We shall some time in the future furnish to our readers another chapter tn tins connection. MONMOUTH ITEMS. BY X. L. C. R. Farmers are getting ready for corn planting.
