THE EAGLE. FRIDAY. MARCH 6, 1868. < Local & Miscellaneous. * ..iiii — , New Advertisements. ( Announcement—Daniel Morrow. Wanted—Zeigler, McCurdy & Co. i Send 25 Cents—Towle & Co. Public School. —The winter i term of our Public School closes on Monday. Cold Snap.—The first day of March closed with a snow storm that has afforded us a fine dash of sleighing for several days. In the meantime the weather has been de cidely cold, as much so as if taken off from a slice of mid-winter. Burglary.—The residence of one our citizens in the South end of town was entered one night last week by burglars. The inmates, aroused by the noise, put them to flight before they had succeeded in accomplishing the object of their visit. ? Ready for Business. —Messrs. Jackson & Wilson received their machinery for sawing shingles and heading a short time since, and started up for the first last Saturday. They will be ready to run regularly in a few days. Bring on your heading, shingle and lath timber. Trtuh Will Succeed.—This fact needs no new proof, but it has one in the success of D. B. De Land & Co.’s Best Chemical Salertus. It has been introduced only h. few years, and yet we see it taking the place of all other kinds in the market. Would a bogus article do this ? Mite Society.—The Methodist Mite Society meets at Houston’s Hall on Tuesday night, March 10th. The receipts of the evening will be used in making up the deficiency in the Pastor’s salary. The ladies are preparing a bountiful supply of refreshments for the occasion, and invite the public to be present and contribute as each may feel disposed. Get Your Magazines Bound.— We would again remind those of our readers having books, magazines or music they want bound, Davis & Byers, Fort Wayne, is the place to send them. All their work is warranted to give satisfaction. Parties can leave their books and orders with Mr. Thos. Adelsperger, at this office, who is their authorized agent at Decatur. Portland & Union Railroad.— From all the information we are able to gather, the completion of the railroad from Union to Port* land may be considered as certain to be accomplished during the coming summer. We congratulate the citizens of Portland upon the promised success of their enterprise, and hope they will be able to celebrate the advent of the ironhorse by the 4th of July next.

* Business Change.—The firm of D. & J. King, blacksmiths, lately dissolved their business connection. David King has bought the shop and business, which he will continue as heretofore. John King, we understand, contemplates entering into partnership with Joseph Smith for the purpose of carrying on the business of wagon making in all its branches. % “It’s all the Talk.”—That Shoaff’s Photographs are so much superior to all others. They are so natural, the features so distinct and dear, that every one is pleased with them. If you have never seen a pretty picture of yourself, go to ShoafFs new Art Gallery, in the Keystone Block, Fort Wayne. He will give you a choice likeness for the same money you would pay for a sickly-looking one at any other Gallery. Trade.—Trade was quite brisk <on our streets last Saturday. The horse brokers were busy trading all day long, but the decided hit of the day was with some genius from •the country, who succeeded in trading a tobacco-box with a formidable watch-guard attached, for ■a silver watch. As Artemus Ward would have said, it was “trooly amoosing,” if the remarks of the bystanders could be relied upon,as &n indication .of the feeling.

East <fc West Railroad. —The articles of association of the Lima & Logansport Railroad Company, with a capital stock of two million dollars, were filed in the office of the Secretary of State on Tuesday. The line is to extend from Lima, Ohio, to Logansport, Ind., and will run through the counties of Cass, Miama, Wabash, Huntington, Wells and Adams, in this State.— The distance from Logansport to the State line is about eighty-three miles. Proceedings of Board of Directors of Lima & Logansport R. W. Co.—Feb. 22,1868, Board met pursuant to adjournment, The following members were present: John Studabaker, Pres., C. T. Melsheimer, Geo. Arnold, J. C. Silver, N. Burwell, E. A. Horton, J. P. Deam, J. R. Bobo, D. Studabaker and S. Oppenheim. Mr. Burwell, from the Committee on By-laws, made a report. Adopted. On motion of Mr. Horton, the Board then proceeded to the election of balance of officers, which resulted as follows: Vice-President — Newton Burwell, Secretary— J. S. Wisner. Treasurer — Geo. Arnold.

On motion of Dr. Melsheimer, a Committee was appointed to confer with eastern railway companies in reference to speedy construction of the road. On motion of Mr. Bobo, a committee'was appointed to prepare and file articles as association with Secretary of State. On motion, the Secretary was instructed to prepare maps. Also, a Committee appointed on statistics. Adjournd.— Bluffton Banner. Pennsylvania Valor. On Sunday last the Governor of Pennsylvania telegraphed as follows: To Hon. Simon Cameron, United States Senate : The news to-day created a profound sensation in Pennsylvania. The spirit of 1861 seems again to pervade the Keystone State.— Troops are rapidly tendering their services to sustain the laws. Let Congress stand firm. J. W. Geary. Harrisburg, Feb. 23. If Pennsylvanians are “rapidly tendering their services to sustain the laws” now, it is a vast deal more than they did when McClellan drove the rebels out of the State in 1862, and they flatly refused to advance south of its borders, and considerably more than they did on the occasion of Lee’s subsequent invasion when they ran away from his front as fast as their legs could carry them, and remained away until the New York Militia, sent by Governor Seymour, assured the safety of their return. The less Governor Geary says about Pennsylvania valor the better for Pennsylvania.—Rochester, New York, Union. The Burlngton, lowa, Argus says that one of the divers on the bridge, while under the water, saw a large catfish swimming past him. He reached out his hands and caught it by the gills, and pulled the signal rope, when he was grought to the surface with the fish in hand. When it was dressed it weighed forty-two pounds. Pathetic. —The following pathetic lines are respectfully dedicated to the played out Radical party, with the suggestion that they be sung at their mass meetings in 1868: “Oh the death of my poor children, Oh, the death that they did die; Some got drunk, and some got drowned, And some got choked on a nigger pie.” Humors oe Reconstruction.—ln the Louisiana Constitutional Convention, the other day, a resolution to pay a Chaplain $250 drew the remark from one of the colored gentlemen of the body, that he “didn’t believe de gemman’s prayers were wufl dat ’mount of money.” “One of the latest forms in which repudiation has shown its horrid front is the proposition to pay off the whole national debt in greenbacks.”— Morton’s Columbia Speech. MARRIED. Jan. 2d, by L. R. Williams, Esqr., Mr. Robert A. Davis to Miss Francis E. Bryan. Jan. 30th, by Rev. John Bartiemay, Mr. David M. Everhart to Miss Frances McCurdy. Feb. 4th, by J. W.

The Miserables Os this bright and cheerful world are the Dyspeptics. Without a good digestion there can neither be bodily comfort nor mental enjoyment. Between the stomach and the brain there is a close and wonderful alliance. If the one is disorded the other is gloomy, dejected, incapable of effort, and indifferent to all that makes life agreeable to the healthy. Is this a condition that any rational human boing is willing to endure, when the means of certain, immediate and permanent relief can be obtained everywhere? The Dyspeptic has his fate in his own hands. If he chooses to banish forever the disorder that racks his body and disturbs the mind with nameless horrors, he has only to step to the nee.rest drug store and procure a supply of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. No phase of dyspepsia has ever yet resisted the alterative, tonic and anti-bil-tious operation of this potent vegetable specific. It literally regenerates the lethargic stomach; rouses into healthy actien the dormant liver; puts to flight the dismal fancies that beset the mind; gently relieves and regulates the bowels; strengthens the enfebled nerves; restores the appetite, and makes, as it were, a new creature of the desponding and debilitated invalid. Ladies who suffer from indigestion have only’to take a small dose of this pure vegetable corrective, once or twice a day, to secure entire exemption from the pains and penalties of a weak stomach and that perfect functional regularity, which but few of the sex uninterruptedly enjoy. To Consumptives. The advertiser, having been restored to health in a very few weeks by a very simple remedy, after having suffered for several years with a severe lung affection, and that dread disease Consumption —is anxious to make known to his fel-low-sufferers the means of cure. To all who desire it, he will send a copy of the prescription used (free of charge), with the directions for preparing and using the same, which they will find a sure cure for Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, and all Throat and Lung Affections. The only objectof the Advertiser in sending the Prescription is to benefit the afflicted, and spread information which he conceives to be invaluable, and ho hopes every sufferer will try his remedy, as it will cost them nothing, and may prove a blessing. Parties wishing the prescription, free, by return mail, will please address REV. EDWARD A. WILSON Williamsburg,Kings Co., New York. vllnlO-ly. COMMERCIAL. Decatur Markets. Corrected W oelxly.
