It is a well-known fact that carbonate of ammonia is used by bakers in the preparation of the finest and most wholesome bread and cake, and has been from time Immemorial. It is among the oldest and at the same time most healthful' constituents of baking powders. It is all evolved in gas by the heat of the oven, and leaves no trace of itselt in the food, and it is this that gives it its great value as a leavening agent in the opinions of the physicians.— New York Journal. A Pleasant Party.

On last Friday evening the friends of Miss Rosa, the charming daughter of ExTreasurer John Meibers called to the number of fifty, to remind her that she was born twenty-one years ago that day. The fine farm residence was beautifully decorated and a sumptuous feast was pre pared for the guests. The evening was spent in pleasant games and. social chat until the time to retire, when all wishing Miss Rosa a happy life returned to their homes. The Democrat was not forgotten in the pleasant party, for which we return thanks. £■ Electric Bitters. . This remedy is becoming so well known and so popular as to need no special mention.

Twin Boys. The e’ghty-fifth annual meeting of John and Richard McGriff, was held at Geneva, Ind., August 31st i%9t. They were born in Dark county, Ohio, where they lived until about twenty years ago when Richard moved to Randolph county where he still lives, and John to Geneva, Adams county, where the reunion was held, this as most of the farm meetings found ing them both in good health and ready to crack a joke or drive a bargain that will equal any of our young men, their eye sight is good neither of them have ever worn glasses, neither do they chew tobacco or smoke. Tney each voted for Jackson for president and have continued to vote for each Democrat nomination for president down to the present time with the hope that they may enjoy that privilege again in 1592. Uncle John is well-known to most of the citizens of this county, having resided in Decatur during the time his son Michael was sheriff. That they may enjoy many more such meetings is the wish of all their friends.

The Earthquake. The most of the towns surrounding us felt something like an earthquake on last Saturday night about eleven o’clock. The shock was quite severe in some places, Cincinnati, Ohio, seems to have had the severest part of it, while the surrounding towns at a distance of one hundred and fifty miles felt the shock. In some places the buildings swayed to and fro for some seconds,' the doors and windows rattled as though some one was shaking them. The most of places the shock was but of a few seconds duration, but long enough to cause some to think that the prophecy of Dr Jenckes was about to be fulfilled at once instead of about “ten years as the learned Dr. has figured it out. * The re ports generally comes from the belated ones who were on their way home and were stopped by the trembling of “Mother earth.” This is a fair warning to them to get home earlier. ——w— —— Bucklen’s Arnica halve.

Letter from the Penitentiary. MMMI Michigan City, Ind, Sept, ay, 1891. Dear Sir.*-—The pressure of my circumstances under which no living soul can possibly be at ease, forces me upon your good nature in dropping you these tew words. I am here as a matter of fact, but not upon facts itself, neither direct!) or indirectly, and it is hard for a man t< pay for a crime of which he knows noth ing of, as is the case in my case. Since mj stay here the county has been looking foi the parties who are supposed to be guilt) of the crime fjr which lam here. I wa. already bent with age when I came here and the thought of me leaving a large family of small children and they all girh who were dependent on me for their sup port, and who are to-day from all reports suffering from the want of care, is too much misery for any human being to stand who loves his children. What is justice, and what is mercy ? To whom is justice due, and from whom should it be expected, as I have not had any of it in this case. I think it not unproper to make some inquiry. I have nothing to say as to the jury, they may have thought themselves right; but I know for myself that they errored, and I think as I believe you think, and every other human should think, that eight years in prison is enough for any and all errors. And I ask the sympathy of the heart feeling people to help me in trying to get out of here. My children write they need me, and I am an innocent

man. Sir, you will please give me space in your columns for the above and oblige Yours respectfully, Fred Richard. A Phenomenon lat Van Wert. Van Wert, Ohio, July 11, 1891. Gents:—This is to certify that I had what is called sciatic rheumatism so badly that I was drawn over to one side. My hip sank in so that you could lay your hand in the cavity and I could do no work for over one year. I tried some of the best physicians and did almost everything I could hear or think of, but nothing did me any good until I purchased a bottle of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup of Hines & Son, druggists, Van Wert’ Ohio. Four bottles cured me and I have never had rheumatism since. Albert King. We certify to the above testimonial. Hines & Son, druggists. Sold by W. H. Nachtrieb. A Wonder Worker. Mr. Frank Huffman, a young man of Burlington, Ohio, states that he had been under the care of two’prominent physicians, and used their treatment until he was not able to get around. They pronounced his case to be consumption and incurable.

The Medical Profession. The attitude of the medical profession toward what is known as “patent medicines” is not at all unreasonable. Thousands of these nostrums are offered to the public every year. Some of them are dangerous, and most of them are futile. Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) we are all glad to say, is not classed among these nostrums. It has overcome the wholesome prejudices of physicians in all parts of the country’ and some of the strongest testimonials in its behalf come from medical men who have used it in their practice* and who do not hesitate to endorse its wonderful results;. This is extremely gratifying, but by no means astonishing, for every claim that is put forward in behalf of S. S. S. is based on a series of actual experiments extended oyer a long period of time. 1 > Never Give Up. Many cases of so-called consumption have been cured b, D . Marshall’s Lung Syrup. Never give up, as long as thei eis lite there ‘hoald be hope.
