Were it not for the depleted conditions of the different appropriation funds of the United States, now would not be a bad time to draw on the river and Harbor committee for a small sum to dredge the St Mary’s in-as-much as she is on tho list as a navigable stream.

This One Price clothing house, corner of Second and Monroe streets has a reputation second to none for square dealing, good goods and low prices.

If you fail to do this, you may be sure it will go into the waste basket. Your name is not for publication, but a guarantee of good faith. From the filthy appearance of some of our alleys and other places, one would imagine that we were choleraproof, so careless have some become recently in throwing out refusd matter. The Health Officer’s attention is therefore called to the aforesaid fact. John King has commenced the work of excavating for his new building near the corner of Front and Monroe streets. Whe'n completed it will be a two-story structure by seventy feet deep. Last Saturday the people of Decatur, were startled by the fire alarm. A house south of the C & E railroad had caught fire, within fifteen minutes five hundred people were on the scene, within a few minutes the (ire was extinguished, with but a little damage. Court street, Decatur’s most commodious feed yard, underwent a thorough cleaning-up last Tuesday afternoon, street commissioner Archbold had every thing that came in front of a River-side scraper put i p to wind-rows and burned. Why this street should be used as a feed yard we can’t say; but such is the case. For a lame back or a pain in the side or chest, try saturating a piece of flannel with Chamberlain’s Fain Balm and binding it onto the affected parts.

There seems to be a time in the life of all human beings who need the assistance' of kind friends, and loving neighbors, Suchbeen has our lot in two instances in the past year. Last October, for the first time in the history of our married life, the hand of death visited our humble home and took from us our darling babe, which seemed to be our household treasure, again on the 20th day of the present month, we were called upon to place another near our hearts beneath the clods of the valey. While her sickness was of short duration and away from home, yet we must say to the good people of Decatur, who S 3 kindly assisted in taking care of her we kindly thank them, and while we may never have an opportunity to repay them, yet they have our best wishes and prayers, that they may live so that they will be rewarded by the Just Judge in the last day, and to our neighbors at home who so kindly received us we can not find words to express our gratitude, but hope to be able to repay them iu deeds of kindness. And to her Sabbath school class as well as others, wo bid them God speed on their errands of love aud mercy with the hope that we may be permitted one day to clasp each oue of them by the hand in that land where all is bliss. - ■ Wm. and Clary Campbell.

Corbett and Dan Yeager. Samuel D. Henderson, of Haskill, Kansas, made this office a pleasant call last Monday. Mr. Henderson formerly lived in this county, he reports everything in fine condition in that part of the grsshopper state in which he lives. His many friends here were glad to see him.

The groom is the son of Commissioner Feulling and the bride is a sister of our fellow townsman, Henry Schulte, of the one price clothing Store. The barn of George Farlow of Jefferson Township with all its contents were destroyed by fire one week ago last Wednesday night.' There is no doubt but wliht it was the work of an incendiary. He had all his summer crop in and all farming impliments. The loss was some sixteen hundred dollars, without any insurance. A fulgurite is formed by a bolt of lighting. A geologist gives this explanation: “When a bolt of lighting strikes a bed of sand it plunges downward into the sand for a distance, less or greater, transforming simultaneously into glass the silica in the material through which it passes. Thus, by its greater heat, it formes at once a glass tube of precisely its own size. Now and then such a tube is found and dug up. Fulgurites have been followed into the sand by excavations for nearly 30 feet. They vary in interior diameter from the size of a quill to three inches or more, according to the bore of the Hash.” Western “Push.” Through the kindness of Attorney Shaffer Peterson we copy the salutatory of the Cherokee Warhoop: to the .

But Ezra has not always been permited to taste of the sweets, as was demonstrated a few day's ago when be found a fine swarm in a tree on the farm of a man by the name of Tahtcher. of course he would not think of cutting a tree with-out permission so in this case he went to the house and told them he had found a bee tree in their clearing and would like to buy the tree, they told him he could have it to put his name on the tree, he did so; and in a few days afterward one of them was in town and coming up to Lyslersaid we cut the tree and got about one hundred pounds of honey out of it, but kept it all. Ezra reached for his gun but failed to find it, but is now marking trees that have no bees in them.

Decision Against Municipal Regulation or Charges. Indianapolis, Sept. 20.—The supreme court has held that cities and tow’ns do not possess the power to regulate the pric.' which companies shall charge for na oral gas. The decision was in the case of the Louisville Natural Gas company vs. the slate ex rel William Reynolds, on appeal from the Henry circuit court. The board of trustees passed an ordinance fixing the rate to be charged for natural gas during the spring and summer at $1 a month. The company shut oft the gas where patrons refused to pay its price. In his opinion in the case, Judgy Coffey says that the general assembly passed an act authorizing towns and cities to make police regulations concerning the use of natural gas on account of its dangerous character. He says that it is not nor was not the intention of the legislature to confer the power on municipal corporations to regulate the price of gas. GRAND OPENING. Mrs. E. J. Adelsperger. of Toledo.

Kuebler & Moltz, proprietors of the Boston Store, can truly be styled a “chosen people.” Their great stock of fall and winter goods which arrived from New York and Boston but a few weeks ago. are disappearing from their shelves, with a regularity most astonishing. They advertise, and in another column will be found their "Ad." A Mr. Morgan, of Bluffton basinvented a machine that will record the number of steps a person takes each day. You simply attach it to the heel of your shoe and it does the rest. For motners who have girls that go out walking at night, they can tell how far they have tramped, whether anything else or not. While they may be of some service to register some married pies tramps. Typhoid fever seems to be raging in Jay and Wells counties; they have fourteen cases in Portland. Jay county, while Wells county have called their county health officers to different points to investigate and find a cure if possible for the scourge that is afflicting there at this time. If we were going Jo suggest to them we would look for a remedy first, and for a course next. Eighty One.

On last Thursday, the relatives of William 11. Lemar, of ourjcity gathered at his residence on first street, to remind him that four score years and one more had passed since Father Lemar first saw the light of this world. |This was oue of the pleasant gatherings that family are permitted to enjoy in their life. After asocial time through the day and evening all left for their homes with the hope that the care of this life would rest lightly on the aged Father for many years to come. On last Monday Ben Neirman. the “Jew" who was selling bananas on the street some days before, filed an affidavit against two of our citizens charging j them with assault and battery. The trouble grew out of his being arrested on the evening of Sept.'Sih for striking a boy, who with other boys were attempting to move his wagon off the street, while he had paid for a license to sell his goods on the street. The matter was continued until Monday, when it will come up before James IL Smith, Esquire. This promises to open up the ball, as there are many affidavits filed and many ready to start as soon as the present ones are disposed of. So look out for fun.
