are mostly to blame. Little girls and
boys are permitted to run the streets In
the evening, instead of being at home
under parental care, and there is no mis-
taking the results of a street education.
Parents, are you aware of this?
John Kaufman has finished a very
fine residence on the north side of the
Richmond pike from the old Jonas Crum-
baker home. No county in the State pre-

dence of thrift and prosperity.

vitality.
A lady painted a plaque in the most
exquisite manner and sent it to a country
friend. Soon after a note of acknowledge
ment came, in which the lady stated:-
cit is altogether too nice to use every
day, so I only use it for a bread plate
when we have company"
Henry Payne, of Camden, was in Ea-
ton last Monday, which was nothing very
remarkable, but he dropped a v into the
Golfers of the DEMOCRAT Office, which
paid two years in ADVANCE for the pa
per. If all our subscribers would do half
as well, what harvest for US! Why
not try it?

The Ohio Legislature of last winter
wisely enacted a law making it obligato-
ry upon each county in the State to pre-
pare a suitable and comfortable home
outside of the county infirmary for their
INDECENT children. This law goes into
effect January LIST, 1854, and Preble coun-
ty may as well be looking around for the
home, as it has a number of such kids.
In his rounds for news a man in the
newspaper business is called to different
parts. of the town; to different places OF
business; is compelled to mingle with
all classes of people; and must be here,
there and everywhere in order to print
a good paper. For this he is abused, but
vet they demand the news. Such is life.
Isn't it pleasant under such circumstan-
ces to be an editor?

The comet of 1872, which is said to be
hying towards the earth at the rate of a
million and a half of miles per day, will
be visible to the naked eye on the night
of December 18th, or very soon thereaf-
ter. 1t must be looked for in the north
within the edge of the Milky Way, which
it will cross in it's course. 1t will be
nothing like as large as the comet OF last
year, but far more brilliant.
The Burglar Alarm Bell' saved an
other horse from being stolen from John
A. Kaylor last Sunday morning. The

lor discovered one of his horses with hal
ter off and a bride down in his stable
An old plug of a horse was found hitch
ed at the end of the lane leading to his
house and barn, which the thieves had
left in their haste to get away.
A scufie between two female residents
of Eaton, one the respected wife of a late
dry goods merchant, the other a young
Miss OF heretofore excellent character,
came off at the P. o. on Monday evening
last. The cause of the fracas resulted
from the merchants wife discovering hel
liege lord in company with the young
Miss. The end, OF course, is not yet
reached.

We visited the town of Lewisburg last
Friday. Many fine and pleasant looking
homes have been erected in the burg
within the past year or so, but the pride
of the village and the surrounding coun
try, is Joe Wilson's mammoth busincs:
house. 1t would be a credit to the city
of Dayton had it been built there. Joe
has an extensive store, does an extensive
business and kills extensive deer! w
wish we had a few such enterprising ant
go-a-head merchants in Eaton. We neeC
them to put up business rooms equal II
the times!
