We offer the Eagle free to any person sending us the names of five subscribers, accompanied with the requisite amount of cash, $7.50. XiTFrof. Hartman, of Fort Wayne, lectured on Temperance at the Methodist church, Monday’ night. After the lecture a tempcrance class meeting was had. It is proposed to keep the meetings up monthly. X#" Chas. W. Merryman, whose health became] impaired while serving in Co. H, 89th Indiana, died last week at his residence in this township. He was buried in the old Reynolds graveyard. Peace to his ashes. tJT A couple of "young J|mcn from the neighboring town of Monroeville visited oilr place last week, and expressed a desire to “clean out” Decatur. They soon found out that it was some other place than Decatur they meant. Rev. Curran, of Huntington, has been laboring with the Presbyterian congregation this week. We understand a movement is on foot to secure his serv ices for this place and Flat Rock, jointly. XT Ezra Lyster and family left for Kansas this week. This is about the third or fourth time he has tried the West. He believes in the motto, “nothing like trying.” and we propose to indulge him in the luxury. We wish him all kinds of good luck, and all the contentment he can contain. FIT An Illinois paper talks in this seasonable way : “If you owe one but a single dollar go and pay him; when there is so little money we ought to keep it moving around lively. Jim owed us, and tye owed Bill, and Bill owed Jim. Jim "ot o mad because we made him pay one morning last week; but we paid Bill and Bill paid Jim, and Jim went to bed that night as happy as e clam, with just as much money as he had in the morning and three men out of debt.” A great many boys complain that there are no places. Perhaps it is hard to get just such as you like. But when you get a place—and there are places—this big country we are sure has need ■of every’ good boy and girl, and man and woman in it—when you get a place, we say, make yourself useful in it; make youjself so nec- 1 cssary, by your fidelitj-and good behavior, that they cannot do with jau. Be willing to take a low price at first, no matter what the work is if it be honest work. Do it well; do it the very’ best you can. Begin at the very lowest round of the ladder, and climb up. Thp great want any where is faithful, capable workers. They are \never a drug in the market Make yourself one of these, and there will always be a place for you, and • good one, too. William Walkup was a rested last week in Fort Wayn< by detective A. P. Kyle, an. brought this place, and on Mon day last was re arrested upon th. affidavit of Samuel Sackett of Mpnroe township, charging him *ith obtaining a horse and twelve dollars in money, together amount* ing to one hundred and thirty dol-

lars, under false pretenses, on or about the 15th day of October, 1864. Upon a preliminary examination had before Esqr. France, he was recognized for his appearance in the Adams Circuit Court in the sum of $300; and failing to give the required bail, Sheriff Stoops took him to Bluffton for safe keeping, our own jail having been condemned. We refrain from expressing any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused, preferring that the matter be decided by a legal tribunal.

Packard, [ publisher, 937 Broadway, N. Y. 82,00 per year. Single copy 20 cents. Don’t be Extravagant.—ls the poor house has any terrors for you, never buy what you don’t need. Before you pay three cents for a jewsharp, my boy, ascertain whether you don't make just as un ■ pleasant a noise by whistling, for which nature furnishes the machinery. And before you pay $75 for a coat, young man, find out whether your lady love would not be just as glad to see you in one that would cost half the money. If she would not, let her crack her own liulenuts and buy her own clothes. When von see* a man spending $2 or $3 a week foolishly, the chances are five to one he’ll live long enough to know how many cents there are in a dollar, and if be don’t, he’s pretty sure to bequeath that jjrivilcge to his widow. 1

When 'ii man asks you to buy that for which you have no use, no matter how cheap it is, don’t say yes until you are sure that some one else wants it in advance. Money burns in some folks’ pockets, and makes such a big hole that everything that is put in drops through, past finding. Seduction and Alleged Murder. —The Rev. S. S. Walls, of the United Brethern church, whose name has figured so prominently of late as the seducer of one of the young lambs of his flock, a few years since lived near the State line between this county and Vanwort county, Ohio, where he has several brothers now residing. It is the old story; heretofore in good standing in the church; but when his indiscretions could no longer be concealed he made arrangements to go West to seek a new location, as an excuse for absence frpm his family, when his real object was to cover, up his crime. Meeting the young lady at the place appointed, they started West, and succeeded in getting to Centerville, this State, where she was confined, and where she died fourteen days after. The next day after her death he started to return with her remains and proceeded as far as Piqua, from which point he expressed the body to her parents, at Vanwert. Suspicion of foul treatment having been aroused, he was arrested on the charge of having poisoned his victim. The result of the post mortem examination we have not received. The crime of seduction he admits, but indignantly denies the charge of poisoning his victim. Voice of Many Citizens. “Dr. J. B. Townsend: Dear Sir.— While you were at Decatur last summer, with your troupe, you gave me some of your Worm Lozenges, and Vegetable Pills for Sick Headache, Liver complaint, and Impurities of the Blood.
