Most of them have been issued to returned volunteers, showing thev have lost none of their love ! lor the union. , W The annual enumeration of children, between the ages of six an i twentyone years, as returned by the township ’ Trustees, for school purposes, in this , oouuty, foots up a total of 1,133. C 5" The Board of town Trustees, at , th• ir last session, appointed John McLean Marshall of the town. They also made arrangements to have the enumeration ol the inhabitants of Decatur taken, at an early day. In 1850 there was forty three dwellings, anl two hundred and thirty-one inhabitants. In 1860 there was ninetyfive dwellings and five hundred and , thirty-two inhabitants. The present population of the town is about 900. t • ----- Sir Venison saddles were sold in town i last week for 12. V cents per pound; squirrels, dressed, for ten Cents apiece.

A Supprise to a Wood,TUicf. A gentleman living iu Terry Haute whose stove woo i melted away faster than was warranted by the mildues of the weather, charged a fine looking atiok with a few ounces of powdei.ani left it on the pile. The Express thus j relates the sequel: vWednesday afternoon an explosion was heard in a house near, by and a | kitchen window was spared no pains ! On going to the spot a sight might have ! been seen. The stove had joined a peace conference, a keitle of pork and cabbage shot up through the roof hke an arrow. A dish of apples stewing on the stove gave the ceiling the appearance of a map of California. A cat that was sleeping under the stove went through the broken window as though alter the devil or doctor. 'lhe cat has not been heard from since but a smell j of burnt cat hair prevades that house; very thoroughly. A flat-iron was luis-; ted into a pan of dough, a chair lost three legs, the wood-box looks sick, while the roof of the house looks liko a bursted apple dumpling.” If every one who missed wood from their yards, would put a few ounces of powder in a stick as a bait, explosion of \ stoves would be a common occurrence.

Americans are the people to turn these discoveries to practical account.— Many , of the modern inventions in use here are American, and one American ch»mi«f, Dr. J. C.

While the I I science of Medicine is carried to a higher ; [ perfection in our own country (Franco) j than any other, it strikes a Frenchman as ' a little singular that an American Pliy- i sician should furnish the medical skill! and remedies for our Principal Province.
