Our Gift Enterprise

Takes well with the people, and few refuse 10
buy a ticket when the price is only one dollar,
and That dollar pays one years subscription
10 the "Democrat." We doubt not, Jy the
first of March, the time set for the distribu.
etion of the Tits, every ticket will be Sold
We would like to see all our old subscribers
come up with a dollar, and get the paper The
current year lower than ever before offered,
and perhaps, cheaper tina Il ever again. All
who want to SAGE money will embrace the
present opportunity and secure q chance to
get a fine Gold or Silver watch, or other nice
Gift Cheap reading is what the people seem
TO want these times and we intend to try and
accommodate them at home. 1t is not true
that papers at a distance are more worthy pat
'Ionage than those published in your W
county, and the good book says she that does
mot provide for his own household is worse
than an infdel." We claim to belong to the
household of Preble county aud look to our
Efellow-citizens for a support commensurate
with our efforts to please. Every man
should support his home papers first, and then
If ne wants Others he may send 10 q distance.
.But'what is the use of talking in these en-.
frightened days, when all know their duty and
III they don't do it, the consequences be upon
them. We want the name Of every democrat
IN Preble county upon our subscription books
for The current year, and we hope all good
democrats will take an interest in sending us
all the 'llames and dollars possible. We
would have no objections to furnish the DEM
'ocrat to few hundred respectable wings at
our reduced tetmS. Come on with your names
and dollars.

A splsudid Painting Bsrr, PANORAMA.


BALI, the celebrated dagueueotypist Of
'Cincinnsib has just completed one of the
most splendid paintings ever executed in this
or any other country. II is q Panoramt, six
hundred yards in lergth, and contains views
OF oil the principal cities in the United States.
Three eminent Artists hive been engaged in
It's creation during the past two years, and
have visited every State in the Union, and
Africa and Cuba, in prosecuting their laborS.
The correctness OF the views, the spirited and
skillful manner in which they ore represent
ed, cannot be excelled, and reflect great credit
on the talent of the Artists. 1t will exceed
anything in the shape of a Panorama, that has
ever been brought before the American peo-
pie, Of whose country, homes and habits and
institutions it purports 10 be a vivid represent
tation. II is Mr.. BALLS intention to exhibit
this magnificent Panorama for a short time in
this country, after which he will proceed with
it to Europe, visiting London, Paris, Edin-
burgh and Glasgow, while on the tour. His
industry, energy and enterprise is unbounded,
and we Lope he may meet with that sue
cess which he so eminently deserves. Wire

axle of the tender broke, anu a piece OF the
axle, nearly four feeti length, and weigh
ing about Two hundred pounds, psssed under
the tender and coming up through the flour of
the fore part Of the forward car, passed over
she heads of all The passengers m that part Of
the car, and landed safely beside the stove in
the middle of the car. The car was full Of
passengers but not ore was injured. The es-
cape vas most wonderful. The tender being
coupled 10 the engine did not fall TO The ground
and the train was stopped after having pro-
cesded a considerable distance. One Of the
detached wheels of the tender passed under

passenger car, tearing q hole in the floor and

Platform ReehiYa.

One Of The most useful, ingenious and COM
plete inventions Of the age, may be seen in
the "Platfcm Beehive" invented by SYLvEs-
TER DAVIS. 1t is adapted to every want and
change of the busy insects it is intended to
accommodate and protect. II furnishes an
easy and simple way OF taking the honey,
swarming and feeding the Bees, and OH effect
ual preventive from the raw ges of the Bee
moth, and with the Hive is furnished a most
delicate and scientific compound, wherewith
10 feed the Bees during winter.
With this Hive any one may keep bees with
perfect safety and success, since all difficulty
and uncertainty are entirely removed.
In this Hive is found the most perfect order
and system, while il combines the most advan-
taees of any hive yet offered 10 the public.
1t has been exhibited 10 more than 100, 900
people, and is admitted by all TO be the best
arrangement for keeping Bees that has ever
been offered. It has taken the first Premi-
m and Diplomas at every Fair where any
preference was given.
II is adapted 10 all locations, such as open
houses, stores, Offices and a%ttics, either in the
country, large villages, or cities.
The Bees ma y be made 10 stparm from one
or more hives, or may be conducted into any
number of hives without swarming, and still
have a full snpply@ Queens.
We hope every Farmer in PEBBLE county
and every other individual, who keeps or de-
.sires to keep B ees, will secure the Platform
Hive for their accommodation as by its use
more honey can be procured and better, the
Bees kept cleaner and healthier and preserv-
ed from destruction by all insects accustomed
20 prey upon them or destroy the products OF
their labor. We deem the above suff-
cient upon this subject every one who con-
suits interest will obtain the Platform Hive.
