PnottACTED Meeting.—A protracted meeting has been kept up at the Methodist Church, for some two ‘weeks, during which time xjuite a number have joined the Church on probation. Disagreeable Weather.—For the last two weeks we have had unusual extremes of heat and cold. These sudden changes have developed considearble sickness, pneumonia principally; several cases having terminated fatally. Dentistry.—Dr. A. J. Rauch offers his professional services to all those afflicted with diseased teeth or gums. He inserts artificial teeth in full or partial sets, on any plate desired. All work warranted to give satisfaction. See card in another column. Lecture. —The Rev. Mr. Thorp, of the Union Circuit, of the Indiana District, of the Methodist Protestant Church, lectures on Church Government, at the Court House, in Decatur, on Wednesday night, January 29th. The public are invited to attend. A Mistake.—We understand it Is current in the country that we •will not receive subscriptions to the Eagle in greenbacks. It is a mistake, and those who are delinquent are informed that greenbacks are a legal tender, and wilt" be received in liquidation of all claims due us... Meeting of the Democratic ’Central Committee.—The members of the Democratic Central Committee are requested to meet at the Clerk’s office, Decatur, on - Saturday night, for the purpose of appointing township Committees, as provided in the County Conven- ' tion, of the first of January, and for the purpose of transacting any other necessary business. J. R. 8080, Chairm.

Habeas Corpus Case.—Jchn Williams, who at the last term of the Circhit Court was adjudged the father of an illegitimate child, and ■who was ordered to pay four hundred and fifty dollars, in installments, for the maintenance of the child; and who was ordered to stand committed to the county jali untihthessame was paid or replevined, made application before his Honor, R. S. Taylor, for a writ of habeas corpus, setting forth that he is illegally restrained of his liberty; that he has no property to discharge the judgement, or friends to replevy the same; wherefore he asks to be released. The writ was granted, and after a hearing he was again remanded into the custody of the Sheriff, and is now in durance vile, with, if his affidavit be true, very remote chances of being released. Fornax Mills.—The new Fornax Mills, built by Messrs. Showers, Mick4&'& Chubb, situated on the east side of Front and the south side of Jefferson streets, commenced grinding on Wednesday. The main building is thirty-five by forty feet, with an engine room attached thirty-five by sixteen feet, and is four stories high, including the basement, and cost about SB,OOO. It is a first class mill in all its appointments, and contains less complicated machinery than any mill we ever noticed. The bolting apparatus and set of burrs were purchased of Messrs. Nordyke, Marmon & Co., of the White Water Mill Works, Richmond, Indiana, and cannot, we think, fail of giving the best of satisfaction to customers. We now have mill privileges unsurpassed by any town in this portion of the State, and between the two steam flouring mills at this place, parties coming from a distance cannot fail to be accommodated, and and at the same time get the beat of work. Success to the now Fornax Milla.

Suspicious Characters. —A lady of this place returned from 0hio, last week, with a considerable amount of money. For two nights following her return home, two suspicious individuals, who as yet are unknown, were seen hovering about the premises, doubtless with the intention of relieving her of her surplus change, and had probably followed her home. For their benefit we would say the money is in good hands.

Late Visitors.—Mr. Jos. Foster was called upon at about the hour of twelve, Wednesday night, by a couple of persons who came on horseback, and who awakened him in trying to turn the key in his door, failing in which they called to him and requested the loan of an umbrella. Not satisfied with their movements he arose, when they mounted their horses and left. They were undoubtedly prospecting for greenbacks. — - ■ ■ —■ —I I — - ■ New Goods—Spring Styles.— The popular firm of Root <t Co., of the New York Store, No. 90 Columbia Street, Fort Wayne, have commenced receiving their stock of Spring Goods. This firm is always watching the market for desirable styles, and for the purpose of taking advantage of any reduction in prices, one of them resides in New York, and gives his entire attention to the purchase of goods, consequently they are building up an enviable reputation for selling desirable goods at the lowest figures possible. They make dry goods their specialty, and we invite the attention of our readers to the inducements they offer in their advertisement. We know their stock to be as good and complete as represented. Death of an Old Citizen.—Mr. Abraham Robinson, who has been a resident of this county for a quarter of a century, died at his residence, about two miles east of this place, on Wednesday night the 22d inst., of Typhoid Pneumonia. Mr. Robinson was born in Virginia, on the 15th of March, 1818, and consequently would have been fifty years old on the 15th of March. He came to this county jyhen it was almost an unbroken wilderness, enduring all the privations of frontier life, and by industry and frugality had acquired a home, surrounded with everything necessary to make him comfortable in his declining years. But the relentless hand of death was laid upon him, and we trust he has gone to that better land, whither we are all journeying. He will be hurried to-day, at 11 o’clock, A. M., under the direction of the Masonic Order, of which he was a worthy member. Rev. N. D. Shackleford, of the Church, will deliver the funeral discourse.

MARRIED.—In Decatur, Ind., January 16, 1868, by Rev. J. B. Lowes, Mr. Martin J. Carpenter to Eliza Harkless.

Why, those who show the bloom of health on their cheeks take Plantation Bitters, which has the power of fortifying the system against disease, and ot regulating the digestive apparatus. Are you dyspeptic, weak, void of energy ? Have you little or no appetite, headache, continued lassitude and depression of spirits ? Take S. T.—lß6o—X., and bloom and beauty will return. The Bitters have become a household friend.

Mofltat’a Else Pills and Phoenix Bitters. The wonderful effect of Moffat's Pills in case of mental depression or physical weakness, proceeding from costiveness, or billious secretions, are certified to by millions of persons who have been benefited by them. They are the most effective cathartic and purifier ever before the public and have been in use since 1825. They arc cheap, safe and reliable. Sold by all respectable dealers everywhere: CLIMAX. A plain statement of facts. I inherited Scrofula, and many of my relations have died of it. In 1839 my case was frightful. Tumors and ulcers spread until in 1832, under the advice of my physicians I went to Avon Springs. I received no benefit—tried every medicine and did everything 1 could. I had to rest my arm on a cushion, and had 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; but pronounced dangerous. I could not sleep, and my sufferings were intolerable. A friend bro't me an English physicinn who applied ti salve with which h i said he had accomplished extraordinary cures in the hospitals in England. It commenced to relieve; I persisted in its use; it finally effected a perfect and entire cure. It is now 1848. It is five years since I had the appearance of a scrofulous sore, and my health Ims been good ever since. I procured the receipt of this wonderful article—this blessing of humanity—and have called it “Page’s Climax Salve,'*' and allow the public to use it or not as they choose. This is a brief but candid statement, given more fully in my circular. I. 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 saw him last week in good healt h. His case was a most remarkable one, but actually true in every particular. (Signed) Demas Barnes.” We have watched the unaided but growing favor of “Page's Climax Salve,” and availing ourselves of the knowledge of its wonderfulcurativepowers, have become proprietors of the same. It is a sure cure for Burns, Scalds, Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Fever Sores, Broken Breasts, Frost Bites, Chilblains, Stings, Bruises, Cuts, Swellings, &c., whether upon man or beast. It subdues pain and iuflamation with surprising celerity, and heals burns without a scar. No family should be without it. It is always ready. We will forfeit a dozen bozesforany single failure. We believe there was never anything like it in the world. It is put up in tin boxes, surrounded by a full circular giving facts, directions, testimonials, &c„ and can be ordered through any respectable Druggist throughout the world. Price only 25 cents.

Which should reign in thousands of households, if it should be suddenly announced throughout the United States, Canadas, the West Indies and Spanish America that no more HOSTETTER’S BITTERS would be manufactured, and that henceforth the grand specific for Dyspepsia, and preventive of all malarious diseases would be .lost to the world! The bilious, the feeble, the dispondent; the traveler, the voyager, the miner, the sedentary student; the settler on the frontier of civilization: the toiler, cooped up in crowded city tenements; the convalescent, needing an invigorant; the shivering victim of ague, and the nervous of both sexes everywhere, would learn, with grief, too deep for words, that the most celebrated corrective, invigorant and alterative of the age, had been blotted out of existance. Asa preparatory antidote to epidemic disease, a genial stimulant, a promoter of constitutional vigor, an appetizer, a stomachic, and remedy for nervons debility, ao no medicinal preparation has ever attained the reputation of HOSTETTER’S BITTERS. It is the Household Tonic of the American pea pie— has been so for twenty years, and in all human probability will be so far centuries to come. The magnates of Science recognize its merits; and that it is emphatically the medicine of the masses is proved by its vast and ever increasing sales. Errors of TToxxtlx. A Gentleman who suffered for years from Nervous Debility, Premature De cay, and all the effects of youthful indiscretion, will, for the sake of suffering humanity, send free to all who need it, the recipe and directions for making the. simple remedy by which he was cured. Sufferers wishing to profit by the advertiser's experience, can do so by addressing, in perfectconfidence, JOHN B. OGDEN, 42 Cedar street, New York. vllnlO-ly.

Dr. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills—A Substitute for Calomel. The Pills are composed of various roots, having the power to relax the secretions of the liver as promptly and effectually as blue pill or mercury, and without producing any of those disagreeable or dangerous effects which often follow the use of the latter. In all billious disorders these Ptlls may be used with confidence, and as they promote the discharge of vitiated bile, and remove these obstructions from the liver and biliary ducts, which are tho cause of billious affections in general. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills cure sick headache and all disorders of the liver, indicated by sallow skin, coated tongue, costiveness, drowsiness and a general feeling of w eariness and lassitude, showing that the liver is in a torpid or obstructed condition. In short, these Pilis may be used with advantage in all cases where a purgative or alterative medicine is required. Please ask for Dr. Schenck’s Mandrake pills and observe that the two likeness, es of the Doctor are on the Government stamp—one when in the last stage of Consumption, and the other in his present health.
