Intelligence received from the Warner
Observatory, Rochester, N. Y, announc-
es. the discovery of a new comet located
in the constellation of Virgo. 1t is a
striking coincidence that this new and
bright comet appeared at the same hour
President Garfield was breathing his last.
1t was first seen by E. E. Barnard in
Nashville, Tenn, who has made claim
through Prof. Swift for the Warner prize
of 5000 in gold. This makes the fifth
comet seen since May first, and of this
number four have appeared from almost
the anne spot in the heavens.

Our friends William Deem and wife,
who reside on one of the finest and most
productive farms west of Eaton, had a
very pleasant and enjoyable birthday
gathering on Saturday last, it being the
59th birthday OF Mr.. Deem. Guests to
the number of SO participated in the hos
FATALITIES of Mr.. and Mrs. Deem, and we
feel safe in saying, without the pleasure
of being present, that it was an occasion
long to be remembered by all who hap
pened to be there. For their remem
brance of the DEMocRAT office, they have
our kindest thanks and a heartfelt wish
that they may live to enjoy many more
such cheerful and happy occasions.

We publish in another place a commu-
nication from Mr.. B. F. Beane, of Edo
RADIO, relating to some structures of the
Eaton Register. We do this for the rea-
son that the editor of the Register is just
now absorbed in the business of exagge-
rating and disappearing a very re-
spectacle party in Preble county, and
will not allow them to be heard in the
journal he controls, for fear it may lose
Charley Foster a vote. As the DEMOCRAT
has subscribers, readers and friends, IN
all parties and all sections of the county,
and it has ever been u policy to show
fair play to all corners, We take pleasure
in publishing communications, without
especial regard to their sentiments, pro-
vided they are respectful in M and EN-
body facts or ideas worthy, from intrin-
sic merit or the connection in which they
are found, of general circulation.

The emancipation celebration of the
colored people of this county, advertised
to come off last Thursday in Eaton, was
rather a disappointment, owing to the
failure of the orator for the occasion not
making his appearances. However, quite
a crowd was gathered around the public
square in the evening by the music of
the Eaton Band, which was addressed
by Rev. French, pastor OF the colored
church of Eaton, and Chas. McGee.-
Rev. French seemed to have a personal
grievance that he wanted to air, and he
JARED" it. The speech of MCGEE was
rather a kind and sensible address, such
as no one could object to and every reas-
enable person admire. The singing of
the colored boys was very good and the
entertainment of the evening passed off
very quiet and orderly.

1t seems almost like yesterday that we
turned a page in time, and stood On the
threshold of the new born year 1881, but
we have been floating on the bosom of
old Mother Time until, not only have we
Ieft behind us the winter of our discon-
tent, but the spring with it's buds and
blossoms, and the summer with its bar
vest of golden grain, have gone glimmer-
ing by and we now tread upon the au-
tumn, marked in nature as the season OF
ripening fruits, of falling leaves, and the
open way that leads to the beginning OF
dreary winter, Time, tide and cares
wait for no man, and with the roll OF
years, we approach that bourne from
which no traveller returns. The shadow
of the unseen world will soon fall upon
us, and like the grain ripened unto the
sickle, 30 will we be gathered by the
reaper death, to our last resting place,
the grave.
1t will do you good to see the fair, but
it will do you more good to see the i'm
mense piles of clothing, hats, &C., ano
such astonishing low prices at Jos, Woer

The funeral ceremonies in Eaton OF
Monday last, over the death OF our hon
ored and lamented President, were prob
ably as complete and appropriately OBJ
served, as any other city of its size in the
country. 1t was a beautiful sight to SCI
: men of all political and religious creedI
) assembling together to do common hom
age to the memory Of a slain Executive
: to one whom millions of our countrymel
voted against only a few mouths ago
, and of whom bitter things were writer
, and spoken, but of whom nothing is re
