IT is said that Samuel Horroeks, or Horrox, was the first person who saw the plauet Venus on the body of the sun. His observation was ma'le November 24, 1(330. This brilliant young astronomer made many important discoveries and died at the early age of 22 years. TT HAS been humorously said that the ten plagues of a printing office are bores, poets, rats, cranks, cockroaches, typographic errors, exchange fiends, book canvassers, delinquent subscribers, and the men who know to run the paper better than the editor does himself. Pr.oniA is about to have the Edison electric light.

A company is now being formed, composed of leading business men and capitalists, with capital stock of 850,000, nearly all of which lias al- tendy been subscribed. IT is said to be difficult to dig a well at Tolono without striking a vein of: gas. Who wauta to dig a well at this time of the year, anyhow. Don't to go down for gas in Decatur. Plenty of it for nothing in these parts--about warm stores any day or evening.

THE building in the old Revere house block, lately owned by Ed. Houston, has been purchased by Michael K. Carroll. The cash consideration was 84,500. Mr.

Carroll desires to open a saloon in the vacated room. Mr. Houston contemplates erecting a new building next spring. YOCB house will be kept much warmer at less expense, if yon use weather strips to keep out the cold. Get them at Abel Locke's.

SEE the 3 dollar, triple plated, 5-bottle Casters, at Otto E. Curtis They are as handsome as most 4-dollar goods. decTdtf A Mi. PCLASKI correspondent writes as follows: "While little is said in regard to the most horrible of murders, the triple one of McMahon, Carlock and Matheny, an intense undercurrent is discovered -whenever the subject is discussed, and the people are still hoping and believing that 'murder will out' and the villains be brought to justice. That may occur earlier than looked for." ON Tuesday last Mr.

William Holm an, a single man, aged 37, was paralyzed, at Hiram Dillehunt's, in this city. His entire left side is affected, and he is now perfectly helpless. He is a ton of Mr. Martin Holman, of Hickory township, and had been employed at Tait check rower factory. Mr.

Holman had no premonition the stroke, except that he was feeling depressed on Tuesday. A BLOOMIXGTOS exchange informs us that "the tnlk of an independent church under the ministration of Mr. H. O. Hoft- mnn ia again resumed.

It is said the church will be organized at once, and will occupy the opera house. Mr. Hoffman should this in hand, in addition to his proposed journalistic work, he will have his hand? full." Communicated. THE BOY EVANGELIST At DfMitui- HOA ShiniMi That of the Hundred tie Firit Wak. And the proppects growing from bright to brighter--and from better to the best.

The Harrison revival is the prodigy of the people, of the laymen and even of the clergy, of both, from near and from far. Ministers and laymen arp daily coming 50 and miles to sec and heur the "boy preache. 1 who is so willing, and such an eager worker- alwaysrendy with his skill acd might "bringing in the sheaves." Double the money would uot be equivalent to the work accomplished by him and rendered unto the hundred saved the first week, cost only one dollar for each convert. This looks to be cheap--it is cheap- it is the cheaper and the better way--it is the cheapest, the beet and the latest of all ways, to secure just such "boy preachers' 1 for this, the most important work of a man's life Let us look at this matter, compare this one hundred dollars to what hundreds of clergymen are getting for their work. And now, if the twenty-five clergymen who have seen and heard the boy preacher this week are paid on an average each by the year, it would equal in amount in four years $100,000.

And now, under the present ministerial rule of working and saving sinners, as is referred to in thf following statement made by a young man clerk in this city, these clergymen, in four years, would see converted and saved 100 persons, at a cost of 81000 each. Now think of it- that young man clerk of this city was to-day in a public place elating ''it would take the ministers in and about Decatur four years to have one hundred persons converted." What a terrible thought. Four years! When this little "Boy Preacher" has come to realize the noted event of one hundred persons joyously converted in OCP week. In four years theie would be a in their graves -lost. An old man, who is not saved, was heard in ii public place to ask, "How is it this Boy Preacher can got such great events to "Prom whence is this mighty puwei which is causing these noted event." in this meeting?" His power is a supernatural power, which originates in his rjrfut in God.

His abiding faith in God teaches him how to approach God--how to ask of God--how to expect of God. Tn his great faith God, he came to this place and stated to the people, at the very outset, that "there ia coming the greatest revival, to surpass anything seen in Decatur for forty 1 And he repeated, "It ia coming! It is coming! It is coming." He realized it by faith in the advance its coming. He abides in (lod, and God's word abides in him, which is the noted secret of his great success. W. J.

F. S. P. Davidson a Judge. We find the following in a metropolitan paper as a special telegram: Lincoln, Dec.

4. Gov. Nance this evening appointed S. P. Davidson, a prominent lawyer of Teeurnseb, Johnson county, to be judge ot the first judicial district in place of Hon.

A. J. Weaver congressman-elect from the first district. Therp was a scramble for the place, Colby and Griggs of Beatrice and Babcock of Pawnco City being the most prominent applicants. Colby had powerful backing.

Judge Davidson is son of the late John Davidson, of Mt. Zion township, this county, where he was born and raised. One of the editors ot the REPUBLICAN was his tutor when "Pres" was iu his teens. He graduated from Lincoln university and figured in politics in Logan county before starting west to grow np with the country and capture a judgeship. A sister of Judge Mrs.

John Scott, now resides in Mt. Zion township. From Daily. A Tragic Death. News reached this office last evening at 8 o'clock of the tragic death of Mr.

W. L. Pitta, which occurred in a mill at Cerro Gordo on yesterday afternoon at three o'clock. He was caught by the machinery and terribly mangled dying almost instantly. Mr.

Pitts was a prominent and well -known citizen of Piatt crmnly, and figured somewhat in politics. He was past 50 years of age. A SON of Mr. Daniel Kalips, at Macon, came near being frozen to dea! li yesterday morning while on his way tu school, a distance of about four blocks. Dr.

Kyner was with the boy for about two hours, and succeeded in placing the lad out of danger. Young Magruder, of the same town, had one of his ears frozen, and a school mistress bad the tips of both her ears frozen. From the Old Keystone State. Cy Miller, who is well-known to the frequenters of L. E.

Cain's conversation parlors, is at present visiting his father at Bainbridge, Lancaster and a fe.w days ago sent to Mr. Cain a box of eels from Hamsbnrg--eels caught in the Susquehanna river. The REPUBLICAN came in for a share of the wiggling beauties, and they proved to be as good eating as were those of their kind in the same stream a third of a century ago, when our appetite was possibly 1 sharper than it is cow.

EDITOHSREPUBLICAN: Seeing nothing from onr town for some time I will give you a few items of interest: If the fine weather had continued for a few days longer farmers would have wonnd up their corn gathering, or the bulk of it at least. Grain buyers are not doing much in the way of buying corn now, aa the farmers are holding for prices that buyers can't give.

A protracted meeting is to commence soon at the U. B. church, with Brother Young as their instructor. Wish him every success, as he is a fine man and a noble minister. The young blacksmith is death on getting up oyster suppers.

Look out for another one soon. But he won't charge you fifty cents a piece as they did at the tin wedding a few weeks ago, and hud a good time too. Spelling schools are all the go in the neighborhood. All you spellers turn out and spfOl. MORE About Venus and the Sun.

I am mistaken, your account of the object sought to be accomplished in carefully observing the transits of Venus is not exactly accurate. The distance from the earth to the sun is considered as unity by astronomers. Relatively this distance is accurately known. For instance, astronomers have no difficulty iu constructing a map of the heavenly bodies in such a way that each body is located exactly in terms of this distance. That in, a body which is four times as far from the sun as the earth is, wilt appear at that relative distance upon the map.

And the same thing will bo true ot every other body. But the exact number of milexor metres, or other definite measure, contained in the distance from the earth to the sun is not known, In other words, astronomers are seeking for an exact answer to the question, how many miles is it to the sun'? Yours truly, JE. A. GASTMAN. from FrMaifs Man Frozen to Deatb.

We learn from a gentleman in the city to-day from Mt. Auburn, near Blue Mound, that this morning Jolm Davidson, aged 45 years, having a wife and two children, was found frozen to death near Mt. Auburn this morning. Davidson had been drinking at W. C.

Sharp's "gallon in Mt. Auburn, last night, and while under the influence of liquor ho started for his home east of the deceased was a son of Jonathan Davidson, a well-known farmer. Will Locate at Springflelcl. Our former fellow-townsman, Col. D.

Block, proprietor of the Palace hotel of Litchfield, has been in the city at various times during the past few weeks for the purpose of establishing a hotel here, and has leased the old Chenery house property, owned by J. Taylor Smith for a term of years. It is now Mr. Block's intention to open his new house about the 1st of January. It will be known as the Palace hotel.

The house ia being thoroughly renovated, new bath-rooms and are being constructed and other are being made. Mr. Block has had 30 years' experience in the hotel business, and will doubtless conduct hie house in first-class style." Grand Army Offlcern. Elected.

Jing-a-ling went the telephone bell about noon to-day, and a hello brought the answer, Clinton wants to talk with you." All right, go ahead," and thereupon the familiar voice of Mr. Richard Buller, the editor of the Public, informed us that the higherto isolated capital of DeWitt had just been telephonioally connected with the ontstde world, that "its a cold day," that the flirtation between Vemis and old Sol was not visible in Clinton, and that smoked glass could be bought cheap, that Col, Tom Snell had just left the telephone exchange in disgust because he could not make himself heard away back yander in Ohio," that Hon. Michael Donahue is not an active candidate for United States senator, that DeWitt is not a democratic county, although all its officers except one is of that persuasion, that Judge Graliam will make a pretty fair probate officer in spite of bis politics, that the question of who shall represent the fourteenth distnct in congress after the 4th of March, 1885, is already causing discussion among the local statesmen--and a great many other topics were reported upon by Mr. Butler during the few minutes that he heldjthe wires. Clinton is a little slow at getting new things, but when the folks (here experience a new sensation they make the most of it.

II was pretty cold in this region last night, there being a sudden change of 28 degrees in the state of the temperature in 24 hours. Early this moruirig it was 15 degrees below zero, but notwithstanding this unusual and extreme frigidness everything is moving along as if it wns midsummer at the Decatur Steam Tile factory.

The main building is supplied with of pipe and this immense drying and operating room is heated by steam. Everything about the place was warm and in good order this morning, and the manufacture aud burning of tile on this cold day is in progress, there being no inturruption whatever on account o( the weather. Both the steam tile machines are in operation, while the men are engaged in filling the kilns and burning tile. A few days ago a stranger from a distance, who has an experience of 20 years in the business and had visited this steam factory, volunteered the remark' that the Decatur company were making the most evenly formed, best colored and best burned tile made in the United States. He made a close inspection of the works and pronounced them the most complete he had ever seen.

Joe Wiley, the villain who robbed the girl in this city, appeared at Taylorville and begged for the Pana villains. It is generally believed that Wiley has been hired by the defendants to induce the girl to run a-vay with him, and thus render the law powerless to punish them for the want of the girl as the principal witness. Some also believe that Wiley was in cahoots with the Pnna gang in the villainous outrage." 1 i Oil Can Busted.

From fi-Uav't Daiv. A Dreadful Accident. John Tarpey, aged 22, and single, while at work at the Decatur coal shaft this morning at three o'clock, fell into the shaft at the entrance under tho tower, and fell to the bottom, a distance of, about 620 feet. He was engaged in helping Ed. Dodwell repair a pump in the shaft, and stumbled into the shaft accidentally before the cage was let down level with the ground.

The body was taken out thin morning by Coroner Jesse E. Bendure and taken to RndclitV Bui- lard's undertaking room where the inquest is being held this afternoon. Nearly every bone in the man's body was broken by the fall. He was a musculnr Irishman, and had but recently come here rora the old country. Had he not been in so great a hurry to get into the cage which at the moment he fell into the a few feet above his head and coming down, the accident would not have occurred.

Mr. Dodwell was a few feet behind Purpey when be fell, and the day engineer, Mr. Clear, who was culled to the shaft, was operating the engines in the brick room near by. The deceased has a brother and sister residing nt Champaign, 111.

Dec. 7, 1882. Said fall is supposed to be accidental." Lawrence Hughes, of Champaign, a brother-in-law of the deceased, arrived here today and will take the body to Champaign for burial.

Freeman Acquitted. The jury in the case against Henry J. Freeman, charged with the murder of hie young wife at Lovingtou on July 113, 1881, reached verdict on Friday morning.
