EA-«LE. — - - r a _ _____ OFFICIAL PAPKR OF THI OOUHTT. LOCAL & MISCELLANEOUS FRIDAY, April. 12. 1867. Mitr Society.—The Methodist Mite Society meets st the residence of Mrs. Elizabeth Miesse, | Wednesday night, April, 17 th. Cobh.—Ccrn is gradually going up. "We '.noticed one load this week (hat brought seventy-five cents per bushel. Naw Building.—Henery Delks broke ground this week preparatory to erecting «-new: two story brick on the North side of the Trager building, now owned by Dr. Sorg. Dorwin Bros. Nkw Building.—The plasterers and carpenters have been busy on the new building of Dorwin Bros, which they are completing to occupy as a drugstore. They are finishing it off in first class style, and when finished it will be an ornament to the town. Always Gxt Thb Bkst.—Especially in getting S&laratus—aa the best costs but a trifle for a year’s supply, and that the good costs but a trifle more than the poor. The best goes farther than the poor, and much more healthy. We can .recommend the Best Chemicat Salaratus to be the best. Thb Soidibr’s Bounty Case.—We shall publish next week the argumemt ol the Supreme Court in the case of Meitz - vs. the Board of Commissioners. The 'r County through Mr. Studabaker has filed a motion for a re-hearing and Mr. Bobo on the past of Meitz has filed his rejoinder. We apprehend it will result in .nothing but a further delay of proceeding*. Whkat Crop.—ln consequence of the failure of the wheat crop for two sueefssive years but little was sown last fall, probably about half the usual quantity. It wintered over finely, and is now starting up fresh and vigorous, with every prospect of a large yield.

Cuanqk of Firm.—Benj. -J. Rice his taken an interest in the firm of Crabbs & Moses, the invoice being completed this week. The style of the new fir nr hereafter will be known as Crabbs, Moses & ‘Co. Crabbs & Moses requests us to say that persons having accounts with the old firm must close them up immediately if -they would avoid trouble. They wish to settle up all outstanding accounts, and close up their books without delay.’ Misting ofteb Democratic Central Committee.—The Democratic Central Committee met persuant to call o( Chairman, on Saturday night Present AJ. Hill, W. G. Spencer, Jesse Niblick and George Frank. The Committee then proceeded to canvass the vote of the Democratic Primary election, as returned by the town ships. The result was the same as published last week. A. J. Hill baring recived a majority of the Democratic votes cast, was declared the nominee for Clerk of the Adams Circuit Court; Seymour Worden, for Auditor, and Jacob Sarf, for Commmiesioner, in tl>e Second District. - i I The Committee then took into , conwileration the propriety of changing the /Democratic Primary election horn the ?■ first Monday in April until the third • Saturday‘of August, of each year, and being fully advised in the premises they deemed the beat interests of the paity required that a change be made to that Xime, which was unanimously concurred 4n.

THE CORPORATION OF.DECATUR. Three and four years ago the side- ‘ walks of the town were in excellent repair, the sewers in good order, and by general consent rubbish, lumber, and everything else that goea to makeups general dilapidated appearance was put snd kept out ol sight; strangers coming here remarked the general air of cleanliness andthrilt that was everywhere apparent. Now all is changed. Sidewalks are out of repair, street crossings torn •Way, and rubbish and filth everywhere abound. We do not believe there is a town in NortoCP Indiana that presents «■ •ppe.r.w. „( ge Dei ;-.' <Hl«pW*< i »" d °"' T ' ,W * '* ‘ “““ f ” mad. jh. rec^,lM le. llw ejt . I ..nh.. r ,po» U.«, wilW

all laws of health, decency, and ordinces of the town to the contrary. A few years longer of this kind of lethargy, inactivity and un-deanliness and we will wade arouad town in the mud from knee deep to bottomless, and it will Cost more to repair damages than Co build a nev town. We want officers that will see that the ordinances of the town are enforced. Trustees may pass ordinances and issue orders, but if they are not to ba enforced they might better have never entered of record. We want a Marshal, a man who will quietly go about his buisiness, and promptly attend to any violations of the ordinance swithout fear or favor. Our sidewalks must be repaired, streets, alleys and vacant lots cleaned of their surplus filth and rubbish, and a renovation ol the town generally must take place. We need and must enter also upon some general plan for putting in sewers, for we cannot expect to be exempt from disease unless this matter is attended to. The old sewers were lined with plank, which is now rotten and daily giving away, making it dangerous in various places on Second street to ride or drive. It ,i* time our people awoke and commenced looking around for active~enterprwing and efficient town officers, those who have opinions of their own, and are not afraid to express them. • In short we would like to see the affairs ol the corporation of Decatur, for the next year so administered that the people would complain as loudly of the efficiency of the administration, as they now do of the do-nothing policy, which seems to govern. If any thing, we wish to have them blamed for what they have done, not what they failed to do. What we have said above is not intended tcube personal. The action of the Corporation Board is a public matter, and as such we have aright to speak of jt;and we believe we truly i effect the sentiments of the people in the foregoing remarks.

CLIMAX. A plain statement of facts. I inherited Scrofula, and many of my relations have died of it. In 1839 my case was frightful. Turn ors and ulcers spread until in 1842, under the advice of my physicions j I went to Avon Springs. I received no benefit—tried every medicine and did everything 1 could. 1 had torest my arm on a cushion, and bad not been able to raise it to my head for over a year. The discharge from two ulcers was nearly a pint a day. Amputation was recommended; butpiouounced dangerous. I could not sleep, and my sufferings were intolerable. A friend brought me an English physician who applieh a salve with which he said he had ac cnmplished extraordinary cures in the hospital in England. It commenced; to relieve; I per sisted in its use; it finally effected a perfect and entire cure. It is now 1348. It is five years since I had the appearance of a scrofulous sore. and my health has been good ever since. I procuredthe oflhis wonderful articleibis blessing of humanity—and have calledit “Page’s Climax Salve,” and allow the public uot seit or not as they chose. This is a brief but candid statement, given more fully in my circular. J. M. PAGE. Geneva, New York, December, 1848. New York. Oct. 16,1866. “I have known J. M. Page, Esq., of Geneva N. Y., for many years. He is one of the first citizens of Western New York, i, I saw him last week in'good health. His ease was a most remarkable one, but actually true ia every particular. (Signed.) Dzmas Babees.” ®We have watched the unaided but growing favor of •’Page’s Climax Salve,” and availing ourselves of the knowledge of its wonderful curative powers, have become proprietors o f the same. It is a sure cure for Burns, Scalds, Scrofula Salt Rheum, Fever Sores, Broken Breasts, Frost Bites, Chilbains, Stings, Bruises, Cuts. Swellings, Ac., whether # upon man orbeast. It subdues pain and inflamation with surprising celerity, and heals turns without a scar. No family should be without it It is always ready. We will forfeit a dozen boxes for any single failure. We believe there was never anything like it m the world.

• Consumption Curableby Dr- Scheuck’s •* . Medicines. To ear a Ccnsorrption, the system must be prepared so that the lungswill heat. To accomplish this, the liver and stomach must first be cleansed and an sppetite created for good wholesome food, oy these medicines will be digested properly, and good healthy blood made; tnus building up the constitution. Schenek’s Mandrake Pit’s cleanse the etoinach of all bilious or mucous accumulations; and, by using the Sea Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is restored. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is nutricious as well as medicinal, by using the three remedies, all impurities are .expelled from the system, and good, wholesome blood made, which will repel all disease. If patients will take these medicines acco-ding to directions, Consumption viry frequently in its last stages yields roadily to their action. Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and stomach. It does not follow that because the bowels are not costive they are not required, for sometimes in dianhcea they are necessary. The stomach must be kepthcal'hy, and an sppetite created le allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act on the respiratory organs properly and allay any ir--1 ration. Then all that is required to perform a • permanent cure is to prevent taking cold. Ex- . ercise about the rooms as much as possible, t eat all the richest food—fat meat, game, and, I in fact, anything the appetite craves; but be particular and masticate well. [2nd w. ea.mo. 1 yr.

To the Martyrs of Liver Complaint. Among the wonderful medical properties which have rendered hostettxbs stomach bitters pre-einincnt among the health-restoring preparations of the age, its anti Viliousvirtues are not the least remarkable. No woidscan do justice toils marvelous effects upon the diseased liver. Per Laps the simple words of a coLvalefctnt sufferer, who describes it as “going right to the spot,” tell the story as clearly as may be. It, does go right to the spot. It operates directly upon the disordered organ, and whether unduly active or in a state of paralysis, restores it to a condition of health. The Sickness at the Stomach,pain between the Shouldersand in the Right Side. Yellow Suffusion of the Skin, Costivrness, Drowsiness and Languor, Dimness of sight, Colic; Palpitation of the Heart, Dry Cough, low Fever, and other sytnptems which indicate the various phases of Acute and Chronic Liver Complaint, are one and all promptly relieved, and finally removed, by the action of this famiouspreparation, which is at once the best of correctives, the gentlest and most genial of aperients, an infallible regulater, and a powerful restorative. Persons of a billions habit, who use the bitters as a protective medicine, will never suffer the pains and penalties of Lifer disease or Billions Remittent Fever.
