Cork.—Under the favorable weather of the past week, corn is developing rapidly. Farmers begin to talk a little more hopeful of their favorite crop. Change of Firm.—-W. R. Dorwin. of the firm of Dornin Brothers, druggists, sold his interest in the establishment to R. S, Peterson of this place. The transfer took place last week. Notice.—Those of our subscrib ers who have heretofore had the -Eagle delivered by carrier, in future will call at the office for their paper. Our “devil” has “vamoosed the ranch” and we don’t wish another. Sabbath School Convention.— The Sabbath Schools of Adams county will hold their first annual meeting on Thursday, the 12th inst., in the grove south of Decatur. Rev. N. S. Smith, Rev. A. R. Stone, and Mr. A. S. Evans, of Fort Wayne, will address the schools. Speaking to commence M 10| o’clock A. JI.

Billiocs.—The extreme hot wet ■weather that we have been favored with this season is developing a amount of “ager” and kindred billious diseases. Already the calls upon physicians arc becoming unpleasantly frequent, and the probability is that by the first of September the “shakes” will be as common as it used to be, within the memory of the “old ■settlers.”

Cheap Notoriett.—lf a young lady wishes to have herself pub lished as “fascinating, beautiful and accomplished,” let her pack up tier clothes in a dirty towel, crawl out of the back up stairs window, some dark rainy night, and elope with the man that feeds and curries her father’s horses, v It’s a big price to pay for compliments ; but it will bring them just as sure as a dirty barrel will lieget musquitocs. In fact, we never knew a woman to make a very decided fool of herself, in any way, without enhancing her value twoor three hundred per cent, by the time it got into the papers.

New Book.—We have received from the publishers a copy of a new work, the ‘ Secret History of the Southern Confederacy,” by Edward A. Pollard. The author was, during the war, a member of the Richmond press and enjoyed the confidence of the leaders in the “Lost Cause.” He is thus enabled to give an authentic history of that bloody drama, as viewed behind the scenes, which we all have cause to remember. It is a work of thrilling interest, and will doubtless command an immense sale. The book will not be for sale in the book stores, but is sold by subscription only. An active agent is wanted in every county. Here is an opportunity for some one to make money. Address, National Publishing Company, 128 South Clark street, Chicago, 111.

F ema.ee Suffrage . — Parson Jonpa is trying to fool the women into the filthy pool of politics. Some of these virile agitatoresses have invited him to walk into their parlor, and he walked. Jones has got it Solomon; if your life is spared until this thing sours, you too will preach of vanity. But go ahead, friend Jones. Agitate ’em; it makes 'em feel good; they like it These lovely she Radicals love to take the “bull by the horns.” We can imagine how Jones pranced at the first onset, but he is docile now. Jones! Jones!! Who’d have thought it—not we. As he is fully committed to female suffrage and progressive “woman's rights,” future numbers of the Republican will doubtless contain long leaden en the absurdity of the marriage contnct, "afflnitiee." etc.

Damp.-—A brother chip in response to a subscriber who grumbled that his paper was intolerably damp, replied that it was because there was so much due on it. Wonder if some of-our subscribers don’t find the Eagle “intolerably damp ?”

Clean Your Wheat.—A writer in the Toledo Blade calls “the especial attention of farmers and shippers of wheat along the line of the Wabash Railway to the subject of cleaning wheat. A consideraable proportion of the wheat received by this route is not well cleaned and is therefore graded below what it would be if divested of dirt and other foreign substanccs that can bo removed with a little attention and care. It is a matter of general regret to our commission merchants that their Indiana friends bestow so little care upon their grain after it has been harvested ; the result of this want of care is dirty grain, alow price, and a discrimination against it on the part of buyers. A word to the wise is sufficient.”

Os Interest to our Town.— The true secret of the growth of any place is mainly owing to the inducements and encouragement held out to strangers to settle there. Encourage live, active and

worthy men, whether they have money or not. Their labor alone is worth money. Stimulate every legitimate enterprise by giving to it all the friendly aid in your power. Cultivate a public spirit and help your neighbor, if he is in danger of breaking down help him up. gets fairly down before you know his situation, set him upon his feet again, his misfortune is to be pitied, not blamed, and his talents and labor is worth money to the community. Besides it may someday be our turn to need a*corresponding sympathy. Let us speak well of our neighbors.— Talk well and encouragingly bl our town, of its growth, its prospects, its advantages, and in short, everything likely to advance its welfare.

Water Spovt.—The northeast portion of the town was visited by a water spout,, on Tuesday evening. Quite a number of our citizeus were attracted by the strange phenomenon. Others, thinking it dangerous, attempted to stop the flow of visitors by stretching a cord across the sidewalk, upon the same principle that foolish Indians recently attempt ed to catch a locomotive on the Pacific Railroad, and quite as unsuccessful. Others, fearing the dissolving influences of water, took a spirit bath inwardly, frequently. Otir reporter was not there, consequently we cannot enter into particulars. Some of our Good Templar friends affirm it was nothing but a temperance lecture. It is all the same to us, whether a temperance lecture or a water spout, as it furnishes an apt illustration of the pronencss of man to make a fool of “hissclf,” “Be temperate in all things” is just as good now as eighteen hun dred years ago. And to those who cannot govern their appetites, abstinence should be the law that each individual should lay down for themselves.

Temperance Meeting.—The following are the names of the Central Temperance Committee, ap pointed by the temperance people of Decatur, at a temperance meeting held at the M. E. Church ou the 3rd inst., to act in harmony with the Indiana Temperance Alliance in promoting the cause of temped ance in this county: To represent the M E. Church— II B. Knoff. Presbyterian Church — Abram Crabbs. Disciple Church—J. T. Bailey. Protestant M. E. Church—llario Mann. F. <t A. M.—Samuel Mickle. I. O. 0. F.—Dedrick Rider. I. O. G. T.—Norval Blackburn. Local Agent—William Richardson. The cause is progressing in the different parts of the State. Let the committee call public meeting*, not only in Decatur, but in all parts of the county.
