THE EAGLE. FRIDAY. JUNE 19,1565. Local it Miscellaneous. Few AdvertisemenU. Notice of Survey—H. C. Peterson. Notice of Survey —II. C. Peterson. Auditob’s Report.—The publication of the Auditor’s annual report has been postponed until next week. Absent. —The editor has been absent this week, attending the Democratic Congressional Convention at Winchester. Ducks vs. Chickens.—The flood Tuesday afternoon played sad havoc with young chickens, and already we hear some of our poultry men talk of going out of the chicken trade and take to raising ducks. We believe they would have been a good crop this season. The Place to Buy.—Mosure & Adelsperger have on hand a handsome assortment of Ladies’ and Misses’ shoes for Summer wear.— They sell cheaper than any other house in town. Custom work made to order and satisfaction guaranteed. Call and see them. Storm.—Monday night we were visited with a very severe rain storm, accompanied with more thunder And lightning than has been witnessed here for years, which continued through the greater part of Tuesday. Au immense amount of water has fallen, and the damage to the crops, and especially corn, can hardly be estimated. A New Song.—There is beauty, pathos and truth combined in the following song, which our delinquent subscribers should learn to sing with an understanding heart: Oh, how happy arc they Who the printer do pay, [more; And have squared up the old year and Tongues cannot express The great joy of the Press, When delinq’ts have old score, Printers all the day long Labor hard for their song, Oh, that all their hard fate could but see; They have worked all the day And of course, want their pay, To buy sugar—bread—but ter —is nd—tea. Killed.—A young man named Christian H<?inc, aged 19 years, met a terrible death in the pinning mill of Beaver & Co., in Ft. Wayne, ( on the 10th inst. lie was literally crushed to death in the machinery. I A young man by the name of Cartright was struck by lightning and instantly killed, in a store in Ossian, Wells county, while weighing nails, on Monday evening.— The gentleman who called for the nails was prostrated by the shock ' but soon recovered. Select School.—Mr. 11. J. Ransom will open a select School in this place, on the 2d Monday in August. There will be a special class for Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to prepare for teaching. Mr. Ransom was formerly’ Principal of the Huntington Graded School, has had considerable experience as a teacher and is highly recommended by School Officers. Good assistant teachers will be ( employed. Tuition from 82 to 86. _No extra charge for Greek and Latin Languages. Wet Weather —The very wet weather we have been favored with this spring has drowned out a large amount of com. We had an occasion to visit Huntington last week and noticed farmers busy replanting, others plowing for com. The heavy rain of Monday night, owing to the lateness of the season will make it impossible for farmers in this section to complete their planting. Fields originally intended for com will 1 be sown with buckwheat or some Other late crop. Struck bt Lightning.—The room occupied by F. W. Miesse, as a Grocery Store, in Houston's Block, this place, was struck by lightning Monday night No particular damage done, except slight injuries to the back door and door frame, _ ’ The barn of Mrs. McLoughlin, ‘ on the old Geasingerfarm, in Root township, was also struck by lightning and burned the same night The barn, we are told, was a good substantial frame building. We have not learned what the loss is estimated at •

Mail Contract. —The Mail route between Decatur and St Mary’s has been secured by" Geo. Fetick, who takes charge of the route on the Ist, of July. “Straws,” <fcc.~ Anderson, Indiana, at the municpal election went Democratic by 60 to 100 majority, a gain of 100. Washington, Davies county for the first time gave a Democratic majority. Things are moving. The “dead Democracy” are coming more than “three hundred thousand strong/’ Fixing Up.—Messrs. A. Cribbs & Son, Hardware Merchants, are i filling their shelves with neat little boxes with a sample of what each j box contains fastened on the outside. This adds much to the apJ pearance of the store and shows goods to much better advantage. They will inaugurate the Cash system the first of next month, and | bring goods down to living prices, iln this connection we wish to return our thanks to the junior member of the firm for a very handsome pen-knife—just the thing we needed —it has a happy effect on our editorial “quill.” •‘Spring it is cheery, Winter is dreary, ; Green leaves hang, but the brown must fly; When he is shaken, Lone and foreqpken, What can an old man do but die?” Why, take Plantation Bitters, to be sure, and with them a new lease of life. The old are made young ! again, the middle-aged rejoice, and i the young become doubly brilliant by using this splendid Tonic.— ; Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Liver Complaint, Headache, Pains in the side, “Crick in the back,” and all symptoms of Stomachic Derangement, yield at once to the healthgiving influence of Plantation Bitters. They add strength to the | system and buoyancey to the mind. Senatorial Convention.—The Senatorial Convention, composed of the Senatorial District of Adams and Allen, met at the Court House, Fort Wayne, on Saturday, June 13th, for the purpose of nominating a joint Senator for the District. The Convention organized by choosing Robert Flemming President, and M. V. B. Spencer and A. J. Hill Secretaries. i Peter Kizer then addressed the ( Convention, remarking that his name had been mentioned in connection with the nomination, but, it was all a mistake. ’ He was emphatically not a candidate. O. Bird being the only candidate was nominated by acclamamation, when the Convention adjourned. The Little Corporal.—We i have for some time past been receiving this excellent child’s paper. The June number closed the sixth volume. Those who subscribe now will receive the June number gratis. Any one sending two new subscribers; or any person renewing their subscription and sending one new subscriber, will receive by mail a copy of “Paul Rcvere’s picture of One Hundred Years Ago,” a scene in 1 Boston harbor with the British I fleet anchored around the town, and troops landing to reconstruct Massachusetts colony. For a club of ten the publisher sends a chromo copy ofWm. 11. Beard’s painting. •'Little Red Riding Hood,” on a strong roller, post paid; for a club of fourteen the picture is sent by express, properly mounted on a stretcher, frame and canvass. This ' is a beautiful picture and good judges say it is well worth ten : dollars, for which price it sells.— 1 Single subscribers one dollar a year. Address, Alfred L. Sewell, publisher Chicago, 111. One of Mr. Buchanan’s last letters was written on the 24th of April, in reply to a congratulatory letter upon his attaining hrs 77th birthday. In it he says: “I have been a long time a pilgrim upon earth, and have enjoyed many blessings from a bountiful Providence throughout my protracted career. I have also experienced disap-1 poinment, and have suffered from calumny and ingratitude; but such . is the fate of almost every man who has occupied a high official t ponition. I trust I have borne them all with Christian patience and fortitude. I cannot expect . long to live; and I humbly trust Fmay ba ready to depart when my ' appointed time shall arrive."

t—fas— Judicial Conventions. The Judicial Convention to nominate a Judge and Prosecutor for the 20th, Common Pleas District of Indiana, after nearly “swinging the circle” as tip time and place, was finally held at Huntington, on Saturday, June 13th. The Convention was called to order by Hon. J. R. Coffroth. Madi son Sweetzer, of Allen was chosen President, and A. Zollars A. J., Hill, S. Winters and S. Wisner chosen Secretaries. Upon a call of counties, all were represented. Mr. Spencer, of Allen, offered a resolution that the delegates present, regular and proxy, be allowed to cast the full vote of the counties they respectfully represent, which was adopted. Mr. Coffroth moved the Convention proceed to make a nomination for judge.— Whereupon David Studabaker, of Adams, was nominated. There being no opposition, Mr. Coffroth moved the nomination be made unanimous, which was taken by consent. Hott. George Brown, moved that the Convention proceed to nominate a District Prosecutor, which carried. F. Ibauch, being the only candidate, his nomination was made unanimous by consent. Adjourned. JUDICIAL CIRCUIT CONVENTION. Immediately upon the adjournment of the Judicial District Convention, the Judicial Circuit Convention was called to order; upon motion the same organization was continued as in the District Convention. Mr. Spencer offered the same resolution that passed the District Convention, which was adopted. Nominations being in order, J. W. Dowson, nominated Josephs. France, of Allen, Newton Burwell nominated Joseph S. Dailey, of Wells, Cotton nominated A. J. Douglass, of Whitley. Upon motion the vote was taken by ballot, J. R. Bobo and M. V. B. Spencer acting as tellers. > FIRST BALLOT. A. J. Douglass 9 J. S. Dailey 19 J. S. France 15 Total 43 The name of Mr. Douglass was then withdrawn frouPnomination. , SECOND BALLOT. - J. S. Dailey ...28 J. S. France 17 . Total 45 Joseph S. Dailey, having received a majority of all the votes was declared nominated, and upon ’ motion of John Colerick, the nomination was made unanimous. Adjourned. From Indianapolis. Indianapolis, June 14.—Hon. Daniel Vorhees will be the democratic candidate for congress in the seventh district. He has consented to make the race. Pennsylvania Central railroad will issue free tickets to the delegates from Indiana to the national convention for the round trip from Pittsburgh to New York and return. The Bellefontaine and Central railroad will issue half-fare tickets to all who may wish to attend the , convention. The spiritualists have been in state convention here for the past three days. They claim 20,000 i adherents in the state. It was resolved to hold quarterly meetings of local societies under the auspices of the state convention The secretary was directed to make a report of all spiritualists in the state. To-day they held public meetings, which were addressed by both women and men. The attendance upon the New ! York convention from Indiana I will be large. This has l>een the hottest day of j the season. How Generalship Saved Soldiers’ Lives. In .the campaign from the Rap- j idan to the James, Grant had three' soldiers to Lee’s one. and twelve j thousand over, 222,000 to 70,000. Grant used up as many men as all Lee had, and twelve thousand more than half as many again, 117,i 000 to 70,000. Grant used up fifty three per cent of his entire force. Lee used up but twenty-seven per cent of. his force. This wasteful butchery being finished, Grant was still far from conquering his antagonist They had yet to meet in front of Pe- | tenburg and Richmond, where the deadly game of swopping off six Northern soldiers for one Southern soldier proceeded till Lee's inferior force was used up.— Would that be generalship in . checkers ?

Shot Him. A gay and festive Ku Klux Klan tried to frighten an American citizen of African decent tfce other night near Memphis, and was shot through the head by the nigger. ‘De idee,’ said the darkey, ‘ub enny KuK-Luxer scarin dis chile! Yah!’”— Radical Exchange. Oh, yes, the idea of a niigger ever being scared of running away! How ludicrous, to be sure! Who ever heard of a darkey who wasn,t “as brave as Julius Cesar?” And “the colored troops fought bravely.”— lndianapolis Sentinel !■’ * »- General Lew. Wallace stated in the radical Congressional Convention of the Seventh District, that he had “fought in years of bloody war.” Yet the convention threw him overboard and nominated that notorious stay-at home Godlove S. Orth—another evidence, we suppose, of radical love for the soldiers. In the Eighth District, they also turned their back on the soldier candidates and nominated D. D. Pratt, another stay-at home. Oh, how the radicals do love the soldiers—to vote their ticket.—lndianapolis Sentinel. MARRIED. April 10th, by William Comer Esqr., Mr. John Smith, to Miss Mary A. Peterson.

Mental depression is a disease of the icrvous system, and, of all the ills flesh is heir to, it is the one that excites the least sympathy. It is a subject of frequent jests, and is called by various lerisive terms; but, although it is often laughed at, it is not easy to laugh the patient out of the belief that his ills are all real, for it is real disorder— the general features of which are ccmstant fear, anxiety and gloom. The external senses as well as the mental faculties, often manifest symptons of derahgement.— Noise, as of falling water and ringing in the ears are complained of, while black specks and fiery sparks frequently flit before the vision. Admonitions like ' these should not be disregarded, as they I may, if neglected, terminate in insanity. The seat of the disease is in the brain ' and nervous system, and to control the malady it is necessary t| use a powerful tonic and alterative, which sf ill correct ■ and tone those organs without Inflaming the brain. This is the secret of the success of HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERB in cases of this kind, for which it is the safest tts well as the best of restoratives. In fact it is the only pure and relia-ble-tonic stimulant known./ Many nostrums. purporting to be tonics, are puffed up from time to time in the newspapers, ' but the sufferer hnd better let thorn alone. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS has proven itself, by many years of trial, to be iu every respect what it is represented to be. Decatur Markets. Correotcd W oelxly. Decatur. June 19. IS6S.
