The Plymouth Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1869-1941, 1870-02-10

BOURBON, Feb. 8, 1870

The sleighing- party that visited Ply
mouth Monday evening of last week,
were very much pleased with the man
ner in which they were entertained
while there, and on their return the
following resolution was adopted, unani-
mously:
Resolyed, That our thanks are due,
and are hereby rendered, to Mr.. and
Mrs. U. S. Dodge, Of the Parker house,
for the excellent supper prepared for us
on so short notice, and for the freedom
of the house" extended to us during our
stay; also to Mr.. C. II. Reeve and the
Plymouth string band for the excellent
music furnished those of us who
''tripped the light fantastic toe"
Should any of the people of Plymouth
conclude to return our "call," they will
find cur latch strings out,
A stone was thrown through win
dow Of one Of the cars on the express
train going east, Friday noon, at the
crossing near the railroad house. The
perpetrator Of such an act of petty mean
ness should be discovered and severely
punished
a heretofore prominent superintend-
ent of one of our Sunday schools, latter
ly employed in our public school to
teach the young idea how to shoot, left
last week that he hadn't time to pay
sundry little bills due and owing to
divers and sundry individuals herea-
bouts.
Rev. E. s. Freeman, pastor of the NJ.
e. church, contenplates locating in
Missouri
Several deaths are reported as having
occurred during the past week. Robt.
Erwin's only child died very suddenly
on Tuesday last; it is thought, from
strangulation. a child of Mr., SwanKs
died on Friday. G. II. Thayer's little
girl died ON Saturday.
DIR. S. w. Gould, formerly of this
place, now of Argos, the Chicago pa
pers announce, graduated with the de-
gree of NJ D., at Rush medical college.
The equilibrium of the ''truly loil'
portion Of our community was suddenly
destroyed, on Monday morning, by the
reported resignation of our postmaster,
Fl. d. Weaver. Mr.. w. expects to ioeve
here, and will tender his resignation in
IA short time, at least, and acting on this
suprosition and it may be from actual
knowledge obtained from the postmas-
ter himself, a sudden running to and
fro among certain few provided with
pen and paper, soliciting signatures
recommending them as suitable persons
to disappointed to the anticipated vacan-
cy, was plainly visible to the most casu-
al observer Harmon Baylor was espe-
cially solicitous, and seemed to think
the appointment depended on the num-
Der of signatures and the expeditions
manner in which they should be con-
veyed to the illustrious successor Of the
illustrious Schuyler. Our old Republi-
can friend, S. F. Gordon, appeared more
dignifed in advancing his claims,
and went about it more like politician
who had been taught the mysteries of
of pulling the strings, more than any of
the others. He is honest and capable,
and should belong to the democratic
party. five must have Republican,
let it be Gorden. l.. I. Gaylord was
left in the rear early in the day, and has
concluded to let the pesky thing go, un-
less it is decided to leave it to vote of
the people, in which event lie will rally
his friends, and come up to the scratch.
John J. Winbigler left his last and awl
and sailed forth at an early hour to
seek signers; with what success, has not
TRANSFERRED. The contest bids fair to
be spirited one, and as our member
of congress vii likely pay little atten-
ton to any petitions that may be sent,
those who have great expectations"
would undoubtedly save time by consult
sulting Col. Bailey and |. Mattingly, at
Plymouth, as to the modus operondi of
procuring post office appointments
through the present NC. In case the
question is left to a vote, other candi-
dates, too numerous to mention, will un-
doubtedly come to the surface-among
them, probably, Marshall James He is
eminently sound on the goose question
is the owner of the best room in town,
suitable for the purposes of p. o. and
being an excellent business man, with
large experience, if he gives his consent
to become candidate, his will most
likely be the poll that will knock the
perimmons.
