Dou’t brag on (lie weather, for if yoa do a regular .nor.thoruer will swoop down Upon us. Miss Nellie Oppelt, of Lnogootee, will be berO in a few .days to instruct a class in instrumental music. Here we are with another car lpad of Oliver’s Chilled Plows, the beet iA the world, at Shawhan & Boonsiiot4. A dog fight occurred on ■ Main street Mouday which attracted a large crowd and excited considerable interest. ___\ Will Roach, the clever re^rcsentulive of Torian & Bather, of Evansville, was in town the first of the week._ We were shown a set of artificial teeth.in the dental rooms of D. J. Phillips, last Wednesday, that were superb. _ S. G. Barrett, G A. Hammond and J. W. McCarty are in Cincinnati this week purchasing their spring stock of goods. McBay’s will soon receive direct from the factory a complete line of boots and shoes of: all kinds. Come and see ’em. When our merchants open out their spring stock it is to be hoped they will see .the necessity of advertising more liberally. Several of our industrious citizens | were discovered last Tuesday with spades in their hands talking loudly about gardening. A protracted meeting will commence at the Cumberland Presbyterian church to-night. The public is cordially invited to attends * M- Burger, of the firm of Burger & Bro , who was iu New York city several days last week, purchasing goods, returned home last Saturday. Samuel Nelson, of Marion township, drew $18 on Fox Scalps last Friday. He is undoubtedly the champion fox hunter of the county. The winter has been very destructive to bees throughout the state. It is estimated that fully half of the colo aies that went into quarters have died. A communication from Spurgeon was received at this office this week which was ten days old. The writer must uot blame us for not publiehiug it. F. M. Banks returned from. Cincin - ntfti Monday. He purchased property in Washington and will open out a marble shop at that place in about two weeks. _ Frank Bilderback, jr., of Oakland called Friday and subscribed for the Democrat. Frank has engaged in the mercantile business and we wish him abundant success. * The most pleasant and prompt cough remedy is Dr. Marshall’s Lung Syrup, Children cry for it.

Can you afford to do without a good local paper when you can get it at that price ? We think not.

Joseph Rodarmel, of Marion township, has been adjudged insane and will be sent to the asylum in a few days. He is so violent that a strong guard is necessary to prevent his hurting some one. Billmeyer & Smith have the finest cook stove it has ever been our good fortune to behold. It is the improved Champion Monitor and will amply repay any one who will take the pains to go and look at it. We are always pleased to recommend a good article. Dr. Marshall’s Lung Syrup never fails ip cure a cough or cold in a short time. Try it. Only 25 and 50 cents a bottle. Sold by all druggists. “Jeems” Collins, of Pike county, was fined $15 and costs this week by an Oakland court, for laying the lasii on aasmall boy that had been left in his care. He could not pay nor stay the fine, consequently he will have a berth in the Gibson jail until the bluebirds come.—[Oakland Enterprise. Rev. W. L. Green talks of starting a national paper at this place. Ho would better profit by example, as the lesson will be much cheaper than if learned by experience. % have been there and know how thoroughly a fellow may be done for in less than no time. ^Tbe wife of George Fickiin, who live* a short distance east of Alford, diefi^ last Saturday of dropsy and heart disease.

Osborn have just received a large and well selected stock of goods in their line, ready for the 8priug trade. It is unnecessary for us to say any thing in commendation of them, for they are well and favorably known all over the county. If you want a good pair of boots or shoes, give them a call before purchasing elsewhere. The readers of this paper will remember that some weeks ago the store of G. G. Beach, at Augusta, was burglarized and relieved of boots, clothing, tobacco and cigars. It appears that suspicion fastened on a young man by the name of William Johnson, who was at work in the coal mines near Oakland. Last week con- ' stable Farmer visited the Hurt House in that quiet little town and ex- * ami nod Johnson’s trunk, which was found full of such articles as were i missing from the store at the time of < the burglary. The officer waited for ' Johnson to come in from the mines, intending to arrest him, bnt he did not pot in an appearance. The officer 1 returned to this county, found him at J Mr. Whitman’s, made the arrest and , took him before an Oakland justice, , who recognized him to court in the a Bum of $300. He is <mt on bail. i

The stationery contract was this week awarded fo the Sentinel Company, Indianapolis, by the commissioners. Jtids were received as follows: Win. Burford and Sentinel Company, Indianapolis, and journal Company Evansville. The EvansvilhTJoiiniarCompanv's bid was not as full as thejother two, but It mentioned all the Important Hems, (blank hooks) and on these It was fromj* to *0 per cent lower than the other •liva-bidsT The Sentinel’s bid was lower than Burford’s. The vote of the commissioners stood Ferguson and Fetticger for the Sentinel and Bowman for the Evansville Journal.—[Press, Mistaken as usual. The Journal’s bid on such abides as would not be needed, was surprisingly low but on the necessary items which amounts to a big sum it was much higher than the Sentinel Co. It made no bids at ail on thirteen items. Mr. Bowman Toted for Buford:, instead of the Journal. If Mr. Krebs' insists on misrepresenting the action oi the Board, we will publish the bids of each com pany, that the people may know for themselves who has lied about the matter. Large Mock of Canned (Hoods, The attention of the public is directed to the fact that the Original Grocers have just received and opened out the largest supply of canned goods ever brought to this market, all of which will be disposed oi at astonishingly low figures. Eisert & Son have been so long in the business that they are enabled to buy every article, so as to give their customers inside prices. Don’t fail to give them a call. ._ A Good Workman. A prudent business man, in building a house, will secure the services of a competent mechanic,on the principle that a thing which is worth doing at all is worth doing well. The same is true with reforeuce to dentistry. D; J. Phillips has an established reputation as a first class workman and will not permit anv thing hut first-class work to be performed iu his office.__ Dr. D„ F. Phillips Would rospeclfully inform his many patrons in the county that he lias abandoned going West, and again offers to the public his professional services.

The merles arc raging in "this community; ip to this time there has been no deaths from this disease. Everything indicates a backward Spring. The dinners will not get to work very soon. The iv heat does not look much better yet. There has been a few days meeting at the jladish Chapel, conducted by Elder J. W. Sichardson. There were thirteen accessions to he church. Mr. Richardson is getting a largo :lass organized at that place. I want to know why every person does not :ake the county pajiers. A good county paper s the paper for every one to take who have shildren growing up, they want to read the sounty paper before any other, or at least it it rue at my home. As soon as I get home with ny papers the children call for the Dimocrat. Let every one try it and take the county papers 'or at least one year and see if it is not true. Chen if the children take an interest in reading >f course they will lie learning all the while.* It s much better to let them read some good newspaper and keep worthless novels from them. _Wild cat . Prom IngleviUe. As no one is writing to the much loved Drmo:rat from this plsce I thought I would send rou some items. Coal is plentiful. The town is alive with smutty noses. Big talk of the railroad going toward Wins ow. Turd and street cleaning is the order of the lay. School is in progress here under the managenent of John McConnell. Mr. Samuel GrifBlih Is doing a good work in he dry gqeds'basinoes here. This littH'tdwn is noted for being well supilied with a store, blacksmith shop, shoe shop, rocery, and last but not least plenty of firstlass hotels. John Whitman recently visited our town and ingered, of course, until a very late hour in the ight. On returning home he was passing a ouse (which by the> way happened to be David airle’s residence), and tumbled his tat self over stump and shook (he earth like an earthquake nd jarred all the daubing out of Dave’e house, fe expect a law suit will ensue.

_EDUCATIONAL department._ [Tills coin mu will be tivvotod to educations] matter each week, 'l’bo solwxil tesohers of Pike and adjoins counties an invited to a as tat in malting it Interesting and profitable to teacher aud pupil. Qoeatlone may be asked and aniwared, anti criticisms offered. Short articles on sop aubje-t pertaining to education will receive due consideration. Address all communications to J. L. Momrr, Petersburg, Indiana.] Communications are scarce this Week. Two school teachers have become President of the United States. Shakespeare’s complete works can now bo purchased for one dollar. The practice that Summer NotWials have of letting students select their own studies is simply a farce. It is a bid tor students. No young person should fail to read a good book whou he has au opportunity to do so. “Heading maketh a full man.”—[Bacon. Perry Hartley, formerly a teacher in this county, will complete the coarse of study at Danville some time next Summer. I!e will return to teach,in Pike again. A number ol Pike county tochers will attend school elsewhere than at our home schools. What is the use of going from home to attend school, except you go to better schools ? One rule adopted by our County Board of Education forbids the ese of tobacco by pupil, teacher, or anybody else. This is a good rule, adopted for the sake of decency; Cud, for decency’s sake, it should be enforced. Every teacher should make a practice of burning every trashy novel he can find. A teacher that knows his duty will take trashy literature from his pupils and burn it, A scholarly person despises a ten cent novel. Longfellow and Whittier are both living. They are poets of great distinction, and every lover of American literature would do well to read their works. They were both born the same year—1807: Longfellow, at Portland, Maine, then a territory; Whittier, at Haverhill, Mass. The Metric System of weights and measures engaged the attention of teachers throughout the county during the past Winter. It was discussed with mnch interest in tho township institutes. Everybody should becotno posted in the Metric System, for in less than a quarter ceutury it will ho in universal use. The township libraries are but little used. The books in them are not the kind that teachers read, conscqueutly they will not have their pages unrolled once in a hatf century. This is not an exaggeration, for there are books in the libraries that have not been read since they wore bought. In this county the libraries have not paid their cost. Their being profitable throughout the State is doubttui. W. H. Link will teach a short term of school at Petersburg for the benefit of teachers and those preparing to ajpach, commencing somewhat later than is usual for Summer Normals at' this place. The exact time of com-' menciug is i^ot yet known. N*jj£, Johnson witl teach atimilar school Stenda). He will begin March 21st, John Grimes will teach at Winslow; Justice Miller at Augusta; L. S. Cole, at Sulphur Springs; M. L. Woolsey, at Pleasantville. j

Une or two things will happen in the future: our schools will be longer and wages better, or the school system will prove a failure. There is no such thing as “standstill” in religion, politics, or education. Such things are continually oscillating—eithe* growing hotter or growing worse— and, siuco Indiana will soon hav« done all that cau be done in the wav of education without professional teachers, there must be provided that which will produce them. Nothing will do this except good wages, longer terms of school, and examinations hard enough to exclude all would-be-scholars, who never are scholars. “Polarhy.or action and reaction we meet in every part of nature—in darkness aud light; in heat and cold; in the ebb and flow of waters; in the undulations of fluids and sound. Superinduce magnetism at one end of a needle, and the opposite magnetism, takes place at the other end. if the , south attracts, the north repels. To empty here, you must condense there.1 An inevitable dualism bisects nature, so that each thing is a half, aud suggests another thing to make it whole;, as, spirit, matter; man, woman ; odd,i oven; motion, rest; yea, nay.” Now] there is this polarity, that evil isopposed to good; for good, like alii else in nature, has its antagonist. The*: greatest extent to which this idea canj be carried physically is found in at-T traction and repulsion; acceleration^ and retardation. The moralist carries* the idea into theology, and thereby shows a great opposition between heaven and bell. But this is carrying the idea to extremities. Whatever polarity may be to the physical!, it is ■ equally as much to the moral and to tbe mental; and, extending as iit does to all things in nature, it enables us to judge of the merits and demerits of

lue gmu iuu iuo gvuu j lur, since a great name comes from great actions, he who bears a great name from good actions has made the world better by living In it, and haa elevated mankind. But he who bears a great name from evil deeds has injured the world and mankind, and it were better that he had not lived. In the journey of life there are two well traveled roads, or there is one, tending in two directions, on which the people of the whole .world are journeying. Some are going onward and upward, always progressive, and always bettering themselves and ail with whom they hare to do. gome are always retrograding. They annually grow poorer morally, mentally, and financially, and they have a stagnating influence over whomsoever they come in contact with. The conclusion of the whole matter is this, that in whatever occupation one is engaged, from teaching up. to be successful he must grow better morally, and wiser in his occupation. By all means, let the teacher realize that when he is growing better and wiser, his school will be on the, highway to success. That if he grows meaner and more ignorant, his school Is unsuccessful, md his time for retiring is at hand. "As is the teacher, so is the school.”
