The reception mentioned is for their lady friends exclusive-the men are not in it. James Tom Merryman is wearing a ba<i eye this week all caused by his trying to walk through a clothes line, and the latter kicked on such a presumption. It is painful however, the only const lation being an accident policy which furnishes consolation, but not releif. Solomon Stucky and Josephine Lugabehl, Charles M. Grate and Amelia A. C. Hough, David F. Teeple and Hannah A. Reardon, Willard L- Gallant and Alice Balyeat, Fred M. Falk and Rose M. Holthouse constitute the list who have married during the past week.

Ridgeville has a reading room or a circle we believe they call it, and for the beniffeial promotion of their enlightemnet, they want a copy of the various newspapers published hereabouts.

Mason is looking after delinquent taxes or rather looking after those owing same, in the ■ southern part of the county. Lew possesses a go after-’em way about him that means business —nothing else.

The Frank Sparks alluded to by the Fort Wayne Journal from which we copied, who received a refined dose of tar and feathers, bypeople at Scieta, Ohio, for tampering with some other fellow’s wife, turns out to be Frank Sparr, a worthless cuss known to a number of our people, he having spent a very small portion of his life around here.

Al Partman ia serving a six sentence in jail the same being given him by Esq. Gates of Berne. The charge against Par.man was intoxication. John Oakley, one of the pioneer residents of BlueCn-ek township, died Sunday evening after a short illness. He wa- aged; eighty-one years.eight months anil twenty-| two days, having lived many years of that time at his home where hedied. Some four I months ago he witnessed the last sad funeral riles over his aged wife, with whom he had lived s .me sixty years, and this loss weighed so heavily u|«>n his mind, and isthuught to have much to do with bis sudden death. Rev. Freeland conducted the funeral services “Blessings on the head of Cadmus or • whoever it was that first invented books.” Also on the head of him who devised the schtme of getting up a dictionary that should have in it all the works that are in all of the books in the English language This dictionary is ‘ The Standard,” published by the Funk A Wagnals Co., N. Y The chief examiner of the patent office at Washington, D. C., says that it is not only the best dictionary in the English language but by far the best dictionary of any language. 80 if you want the latest and best get “The Standard.” Ihe list of Indiana people who are ill in Washington is growing.

The cozy home of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Niblick on North Fifth street was thrown open to the many relatives and friends Monday evening, in honor of IK Burton of Philadelphia.

Kohneof Willshire, 0., was in the village Monday on business. Willis K<x*buck of Fort Wayne, called on relatives here last week. Considerable sickness in the vicinity. The roads are in good condition and everybody is taking advantage of them. The farmers are very busy hauling logs to the saw mill now, preparatory to sawing when the weather moderates. Robert Boyd, living west of this place, was in the village Tuesday. Mr. Cordua and family are moving from their farm to Decatur this week. Frederick Troutner has rented the farm and will occupy the same at once. Wm. Smith. who had his hand injured iu the roller, had two of his fingers amputated on of this week, amputation being necessary to save the hand.

The Dul’town school visited our schools Tuesday and reported having a grand time. They came in sleds loaded down, with flags flying in the air. Union Items. Wm. Johnson of Clark’s Chapel, attended the literary at Union last Tuesday evening. He got stuck on one nf the old scolding ladies and asked to see her home. On receiving an answer in the negative he went home and gave vent to his foe lings by writing a few lines saying that Cramer did net want his daughter to marry, because he could not spare the old cow. In looking over the news of the Journal our eyes fell on the Bobo items, aud we were surprised to see how the little Pater could write items. If the little boy who acted as president did wear knee pants Berry is squealing because he sat down on him. We also compliment the third speaker on the negative, Mr. Berry. We think he did well on green turtles, and it was well for him tomention it in his items. But we don’t think that anybody asked if that was a crank organ, as everyone knew that it was a crank squeaking but it was not very musical. We think that if we were Mr. Berry we would’not have said anything about such a speech. We were of the opinion that cold weather would be good for him as things generally get solid in cold weather. We also think he would be in his proper place of abode if he were down south with the darkies catching turtles, instead of trying to run down a literary society. The little B—t seems to have a spite at Manlier, but we will wager our old hat that Manlier will be a big man before Berry knows enough to down a literary. Uncle Sam has need of good men, but think it will be a long time before the manufacturers of the Bobo items get a call, unless it is to an insane palace. The protracted meeting at Salem is postponed until the meeting closes at Union Chapel. Miss Lizzie Manlier of Daisie, Ohio, iS visiting relatives here. D. S. Manlier has been confined to the house several days with a carbuncle, which is improving. Why don’t Berry attend literary at Union? Because he can t down the little boy with knee pants. Henry Hart and family and Ed Ellsworth and family of Decatur, held an oyster supper Tuesday night, at Samuel Helm’s, the old home of Mr. Elsworth and Mrs. Hart’s grandfather.
