Mis3 Clara Randall, who has been visiting in Warsaw, for some weeks past, returned to the city last Friday -evening. The viewers of the Lefever ditch, in Lancaster township, have filed their report at the county Auditor's office." Smith Wicksonof Polk township called to see us last Monday. He is one of the substantial Democrats of old Polk. The officials of the Wabash, St. Louis Pacific railway, went west over the road in a special train last Monday noon.

A telephone has been placed in the Commercial house, in this city, for the convenience of the proprietor and his guests. Johnny Hargrove went to Peru, Friday, in response to a telegram, announcing the dangerous illness of Charley Dunlap. II. II. Wagoner is kept' busy attending the duties assigned him in the surveyor's office.

He Is the Democratic nominee for the place. Samuel Jackson, John F. Bond, Daniel Nepper and. J. Neff, all of Jackson' township, "Wells county, substantial Democrats and enterprising farmers, called to see us last Monday.

No better class of men could be presented by any party for county, -commissioners than those presented by the Democratic party. Daniel Christian, George Kline and John Freeh are the men. We were favored, last Saturday, with a pleasant call from Mr. John Clark, of Liberty township, Wells county. Mr.

Clark is an industrious and esteemed citizen whom it is a pleasure to meet. Mr. J. W. Ford has removed his real estate office and collecting agency into the rooms above Morgan's store, on Jefferson street, where he will hereafter be found.

His corrected card will appear in its proper place in the next issue of our paper. Uncle John Oliver, of Clearcreek township, 'made us a brief call last Saturday. We have heretofore men-tionecfthe severe accident by which Mr. O. lost the sight of one eye and he is still in quite feeble health.

We trust our old friend may soon completely recover. A news depot is to be established at Audrews, the projector of the enterprise being Mr. E. A. Kiplinger, druggist, of that place.

Such a stand will be of great advantage to the Deople of the place, and Mr. K. shoul receive substantial encouragement In his new venture he has our best wish e3 for success. Rev. James Oliver, of Upper Sandusky, Ohio, a brother of Uncle John Oliver, of Clearcreek township, visited that gentleman last week, re turning to his home last Saturday.

It was the first time the brothers had met for thirty-two years, and it can readily be imagined what a pleasant meeting must have been enjoyed. Some of the Republican candidates and the Herald, after having failed to prostitute the manhood and nrincinles of the Greenbackers of Huntington county, are now abusing them most shamefully. Mr. DeLong seems intent to run out the "dodger" ns he calls it, but like his efforts against The Democrat, he will fail. This is a great big world and manhood and merit always stay.

In the last issu9 of the Andrews Express is contained a list of the improvements made in that place during the past year. It is a very fine showing for the place, the total value of the improvements being placed at $4 42,250. The list shows that close on to one hundred and fifty new dwellings and business houses have been erected. The Democrat is truly glad to know that such an enterprising people are within the borders of Huntington county, and we congratulate our friends at Andrews upon the prosperous career their little city has entered. B.

F. Ibach and T. L. Lucas head the list of Republican speakers published in the Herald of last week. It is "by order of Committee," says the Herald.

These men have both been tried by the Democratic party and the people know the result. Thousands of Democrats rejoice to get rid them, while hundreds of Republicans in Huntington county will grit -their teeth to see their names head their list of speakers, "by order of Committee." Ibach as shown by bis record at T.L Lucas la the Clerk's office, are entirely too pure to act with the Democracy. They belong to the Brady and Dorsey class of politicians, but have not been so successful. Deroy Welch, of Roanoke, made us a pleasant call last Tuesday. Samuel Buchanan is making a successful canvass for Clerk, and wherever he goes makes friends.

Don't fail to attend Mrs. Radabaugh's grand opening, at her store, in Huntington, November 2d and 3d. 14-t2 Mr. Thomas Marshall, an attorney of Columbia City, was in attendance upon the Circuit Court last Tuesday. Messrs.

Such a course is always adopted by political trcksters and dishonorable politicians. Mrs. Col.Schell this week received a telegram from Louisville, aunouncing the death of a niece who lives in that city, and the lady at Once started for that city. John W. Bowman is a worthy man, and competent to fill the office of sheriff.

He has been tried as a deputy and not found wanting. Mr. Wilson Elser, of Noble coun ty, this State, visited Mr. Eli Elser, of this during the past week, returning to his home last Tuesday. Miss Abba Whitney and Mrs.

Dolly Maples, both of Maples, Allen county, nieces of Mrs. William Bell, of the Second ward, are visiting with the family of that lady this week. -Friday last. M. W.

Moore settled with Amos Duffey, of Polk township, for his loss on his barn by fire lately, paying him $500 as insurance therefor in the Ohio Farmers' Company. Rev. H. Fischer made a rousing German speech to his Democratic and Republican friends, in the Opera House, in this city last Tuesday evening. W.T.

Hubbell and Ezra Thorn, farmers of Warren township, were on the streets of the city yesterday, it being their first visit to town for some time. Mrs. Pomeroy was in Chicago last week purchasing while there a supply of millinery goods for the fall trade in the store of Pomeroy Blackburn. Our German friends will give a grand ball, in Turner hall, on the evening of the 8th prox. A pleasant time, will, no doubt, be enjoyed, and the indications are for a large attendance on that occasion.

-Mr. and Mrs. Morris Black, ac companied by Miss Ida Fuller, left last week for Indianapolis, where they will visit relatives, returning home In the course of two or three weeks. John II. Barr, the Democratic candidate for Representative, is in every Bense the man of a people.

His election to the Legislature will be a credit to Huntington county farmers and laboring men. Ezra T.Lee will make a first- class Auditor, and as the nominee of the party will receive the vote, and many moie beside who know him to be a man of good habit and well quali fied for a public servant of the people. Word has been received by his family in this city, of the death of Roscoe Whitestine, which took place in Montana, where he lias been re siding for some time past. Roscoe was formerly a Huntington hoy, and his friends here will be pained to learn of his death. Mr.

He left the Old Country on the Sth inst. Mr.

George W. Stocksdale, of Canal Dover. Ohio, father of W. D. Stocksdale, of this eounty, has been visiting his son here during the past week.

He is a staunch Democrat and feels happy "over the recent victory in Ohio. We received a pleasant call from him and his son Tuesday morn mg. Mr. Henry Kline, of Uuion township, mention of whose illness has heretofore been made in these columns, was in the city last Satur day, the first time for several weeks, and made us a pleasant call. His friends will be pleased to learn of his convalescence.

He is a most estimable young man, and while for a long time his friends have known that his days muse be short, yet his death will cause most poignant sorrow to many. A young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Favorite, of Huntington township, died quite suddenly, early Saturday morning last. She had been in good health up until the Wednesday previous to her death, but then taking iil, she rapidly grew worse unm the time above mentioned, when she died.

And when thev did not get to vote, they left, firmly convinced, of course, that it was-another tarnal Democratic trick to defeat the will of the people, The party of intelligence and refine ment should send some missionaries among its members to enlighten them, if its leaders can long enough turn their attention from spoil seeking so to do.

LaFountaine. Mrs. Martha LaFountaiae, mother of Mrs. Mary E. Jones, wife of County Clerk Jones, died at the residence of the Letter named in this city, last Monday at 12:30 o'clock A.

m. There was considerable of interest connected with the life of Mrs. La- Fountaine, especially to those of people acquainted with her. She wes born in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, November 11th, 1838, consequently at the time of her death was aged 43 years. 11 months and 22 days.

Her maiden name was Martha Beck, and on the 2lst of May, 1853, she was married at Fort" Wayne to Thomas LaFountaine, a son of the chief of the Miami Indians. She and her husband immediately came to this place, where they resided together un March 18th, 1869, when he died. The result of this marriage was a daugb ter, Mary wife of Mr. Jones, who survives her, and a son, Dixie, who died a few years ao. The deceased has two living sisters in Allen coun ty, two in Kansas, and a Drother in Elkhart, to whom word was sent at her death.

For the past five weeks, Mrs. La Fountaine had been ill, but took to her bed only about one week previous to her death with typhoid fever. Her condition was not regarded as dangerous until the Thursday previ ous to her death, from which time she began to decline very rapidly and all that could be done was or no avail. The funeral took place yester day morning at nine o'clock from the Catholic church, the remains being followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of people. CLOSING OUT SALE.

14-w2 A Serious Pall, Tuesday evening last, Mr. Fred Kopp attended the meeting held in the Opera House, and leaving the hall, started to descend the main stairway to gain the street. When about one-half way down the flight, he in some manner missed his footing and fell headlong upon the stone walk below. In the fall his head struck upon the steps and on the walk, rendering him unconscious and inflicting very serious wounds, his nose being badly injured and his bead severely cut and bruised. He was picked up and carried into the drug store of Jaqueffiai Walter, and was afterwards taken to his furniture store, and his wants were attended to.

The wounds dressed by Drs. Chafee and Shaffer, and considerable concussion having resulted from the fall, for a short time there after it was feared the man's injuries might prove fatal. He is now doing" well, however, and will probably soon be all right. Almost Fire. Mr.

B. F. Billiter, a deputy in the County Auditor's office," has been building a residence in the Third ward, and the same is now being completed. Thursday last, the paint ers had been engaged in.Mhlling, preparatory to applying the paint fo the building, using to apply the same a quantity of cloths. These the work men threw, after using, into a corner of the building allowing them to remain.

In the afternoon of the day mentioned Mr. Billiter went to the house, and discovered that the -pile of rags was smoking and had almost ignited. The cloths had been saturated with' the oil and paint, and thus rendered very combustible, and had not the discovery been made when it was, no doubt, the building would soon have been in fUmes, as close by was a large pile of shav ings and other light material suitable to start a large lire. It was fortunate for Mr. Biliter that he made the visit to his house when he did.

An Octogenarian. Tuesday last, Uncle Thomas Searles. of Wayne township, was in the city on a business trip. This in itself would probably not be a matter of unusual occurrence, but when we state that Mr. Searles is in his eighty -second ear and is still hearty, hale and sound, retains his faculties to a remarkable degree, his case at once becomes interesting and worthy of mention.

Mr. Searles was born on the Isle of Wight, under British government, on the 10th of May, 1S01, and came to the United States in tne iau or 1S22. un his voyage across the Atlantic ocean, the vessel in Which he embarked encountered continual storms, and he was thereby detained at sea for a period of ninety four days, ne came to this county September 9, 1853, and located on the farm on which he now resides in Wayne township, being the next old est man and settler in the township, John Ruggles hting a few days his senior. He distinctly remembers the day on which was fought the great battle of Waterloo, and delights to converse concerning the same and to relate narratives of which he is coe- nizant. As an instance of his rugged con stitution we may say that 1,700 feet of the Smelser ditch passes through his land, and the work of construct ng the same he has undertaken to perform with his own hands, and has already completed a considerable por tion thereof.

We venture the asser tion that there are very few men who, at his age, possess such a degree or vitality, and we can only join with all who know our old friend in wish ng mm yet many years or peace. happiness and good health. A Pleasant Ride. Sunday afternoon last, we received a kind invitation from our friend H. M.

Puryiance to a seat in his carriage. behind a span of fine bays, which he has lately purchased, and which, by the way, are real beauties, both for driving and as a show, for a ride about the city and surrounding coun try. After a trip over the principal part of the city, during which we noticed great evidences" of prosperity in the way of new buildings and im provements, we were driven several miles into the country over the Union township gravel road, now being built The road leads through a very One scope of country, and is being finished in a workmanlike man ner, and when completed, the same will be a grand improvement for the people of that township, and one that will benefit the country and city as well. Some most beautiful' farms were to be seen, and everywhere one could observe new dwelling-bouses or barns, either lately constructed or in process of erection. During the past season, we have seen much improve ment within the city limits, but we are glad to know that such has not been confined to the city alone, as the country also is fully imbued with this spirit and is keeping close pace in the rapid march.

This is just as it should be. No county in the State possesses better resources than Huntington county, and no people are more liberal and enterprising than are hers. Thie fact is becoming known throughout the State, hence almost daily strangers are coming withiu our borders for the purpose of making this their permanent home. There is room for intelligent and in dustrious men, and all this class will receive a cordial welcome from our people. Again we say our short trip was greatly enjoyed, and we return to Mr.

Purviance our thanks for hav ing had the pleasure of a ride behind his fleet-footed steeds. The ladies of Huntington and vicinity are respectfully invited to at tend our opening of trimmed goods, which takes place November 2d and 3d, at Mrs. H. A. Radabaugh's.

14 12 A Sudden Death. Sunday afternoon last, Mrs. Jacob Sutt, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kline, who reside north of the city, died quite suddenly, and most unexpectedly to her friends.

For some time past the lady had been residing with her husband in the rooms above Abendroth's saloon, in this city, and for a few weeks past had been ill, but for several days previous to Sunday was able to be out of her bed the most of the time. Having expressed a strong desire to visit her parents, she was taken to their residence Sunday, and seemed in good spirits, having partaken, while there, of quite a hearty dinner. About the middle of the afternoon she com plained of feeling very ill, and lay down upon the bed. She grew rapidly worse, and notwithstanding every possible thing was done for her relief, death had marked her, and at five o'clock that evening, her spirit had fled from the body. The deceased was about twenty-eight years of age, and leaves behind her a husband and child, together with a large circle of relatives and acquaintances.

The funeral took place Tuesday morning from the Catholic church in this city and was largely attended. A Serious Accident. Saturday evening last Mr. Rudy Howenstine, of Warren township, and Mr. John Walter, who liyes just across the line in Wabash county, were returning home from North Manchester, and when about three miles south of that place, they overtook another team and attempted to pass the same.

At the time they were descending a hill, and while driving around the other team the wheels of their vehicle gave way, precipitating them to the ground. Howenstine struck the earth with his head and: a deep gash was cut in the right side thereof, ex tending back from the right eye a distance of six or eight inches. The wound was a most painful one, the scalp being laid open clear to the skull. Beside this he received very severe bruises about bis body. Dr, Trembley, of Claysville, was called to administer to his wants, and at last accounts, though quite severely in jured, he was getting along as nicely as the circumstances would warrant Walter was also quite badly hurt, though his exact injuries could not be learned.

A physician from North Manchester attended him. The bug gy driven by the men was very bad ly broken, the wheels being a com plete wreck. Amusements. Saturday night last was the en gagement of Robert McWade, at the Opera House, in the play of Rip Van Winkle. The star appeared at the Tabernacle, in this city, in the same role last June, but those who were present on both occasions, state that his playing Saturday evening was much superior to his first appearance and was in no way to be compared.

The audience at the last performance was a large one, the house being well- filled with the best people of the city. All who attended, so far as we have heard express themselves, were highly pleased with the entertainment, and the management of the ball ia to be congratulated that such high or der of talent was employed, gecond-class companies have had their day in Huntington, and the people now demand only first-class talent. In the character of Van Winkle, Mr. McWade proved himself to be a whole team, and while in the first part of the play, the audience was kept in an almost continual laugh, in the latter part of the play 7ery frequently were handkerchiefs brought into requisition by the more sympathetic ones. The support was fair all through, though some were better up in their parts than others.

Miss Halbec was much better as Christina Van Winkle, than as Eda, the wife of Rip. J. P. Jvflbourn as Alderman Knickerbocker did well. The parts of little Steenie and Petie Stuy vesant, taken by little Katie and Annie Elmore, were particularly well played, and the little folks very much pleased the audience.

The perform ance as a whole was worthy the pat ronage bestowed upon it. From this place the troupe went to Marion. The canvass for subscribers to the lecture course is now being made, and if our people desire to have a really good course of lectures this season they can do so by subscribing for tickets. The talent embraces the Mardigral concert club, the Royal Hand Bell Ringers, of England, The odore Til ton, Hon. Wm.

Parsons and Rev. A. A. Willitts, all of whom are stars, and very effective on the plat form. The price of course tickets is placed at the low sum of $2 a fee within the means of all for good en tertainments.

Hi Henry's famous ministrels gave a performance in the upera House, last evening, this being the second appearance of the troure in this city. The hour at which we go to press prevents us giving an extended notice, but we will do so next weeK. It will be. of interest to our peo ple generally to know that the new I ditch law of 1881, requires the Coun ty Auditor to advertise and let the construction of each and every allot ment of any ditch granted by the Board of County Commissioners, as soon as the final report of the viewers on the same be filed in his office. The force in the office in this county is now engaged in writing out "the notices of sale on the several ditches granted by the Commissioners at their September term of court.

The subject of the morning discourse was "Christ, the Central Sun of Revelation the minister basing bis remarks upon the text: "Jesus Christ is all in all."
