Mark Powers looks well after his, vacation, which he spent among friends and relatives in Monroe township. __ Opium eating is increasing at a fearful rate in this vicinity. It is mostly taken In the shape of morphine. _ ; Toys to the value of several hundred dollars worth were sold in Petersburg during the holidays just More Christmas goods were sold in Petersburg last week than during the same lime for several years. This is an evidence that money is plentitul.

Mr, Prentice Martin of this place will have one hundred thousand feet of dry.luniber for sale in the spring market. It certaialy seems strange that other parties could cross White river last Saturday and our mail carrier tailed to do so. Joseph D. Barker has concluded not to accept the position tendered him by B. J. Bright Esq. but will re* main at home. “What every one says must be true,” that “Dr. Sellers’Cough Syrup” has no equal for coughs and colds. Try it. Fried25c. Sevo/al little children have to walk over that dangerous sidewalk on Walnut street several times daily going to e nd from school.

It wan rumored on the streets last week that Mrs. Goodlet Morgan had bequeathed to her from a relative in 9hierHieeefitty^ftef-ased, the sum of 1250,000.

The new butcher will occupy her present business house.

xneijrrana xioiei, ai Vincennes, is by far .he best hotel in that city. The Cox Brothers know exactly how to make their gneets feel at home. The Grr&nd is furnished with, all modern conveniences, and the fare is unsurpassed. _ Mr. Krebs moved his family into the John Crow property yesterday. He will take charge of the Press office to-day, we understand. To our new conlibiporary we wish a happy Mew Year and financial success in the management of his paper. The oldest inhabitant of Petersburg can not remember a quieter Christmas than the one just passed. There was very little pistol shooting, and the nu mber of fire-crackers snapped was phenomlnally small. Are we approaching the millennium? The Jasper Courier, in all good faith, writes that the pupils of the graded school of that place will, during the two weeks vacation now in progress, doubtless regain the large amount of adipose matter they lost from severe study the last term. The entertainment given Christmas eve a: Schaefer's hall by the M. £. Sunday school was a complete success, as was also the Christmas t ree on the next night at the Prsebyteaian church under tine auspices of the Cumberland &nd (.he Presbyterian Sunday school. On going to press we learn that yesterday Lottie Doarae, daughter of C. Doane, editor of the Jasper Courier, was shot in the muscle of the leg below the knee, from a pistol with which her brother was playing. The wound is not considered dangerous. Burglars have not been plying: their infamous trade in this section for some time. They never did trouble the Petersburg editors, however. They were too smart for that. There was too great danger of their starving to death before they could yacute Urn premises, At the ^entertainment given at SchiBfer’s Hall last Monday night a committee of three was appointed to decide who was the handsomest lady and who the ugliest man. After a careful consideration of ilhe claims of all present, the committee unanimously awarded the preeent, n locket, to Miss May Benedict as the handsomest yocng woman and a piece oNlast yes re cod fish to Bro. W. F. Tjwnsend as the ugliest man they had ever seen. James Marsee was aw irded a cigar case for bringing the largest number of young ladies to the

.Mr. Cummings, a noted railroad contractor, was in Petersburg tht early part of the week and left will our people a proposition to build i l oad to Vincennes for 1150,000 to bt due when a train of cars shall have passed oyer the line. It is believed the amount can be rained and a meet ing of some of our leading men witt Mr. Cummings will be held in Vin cenues some time next week whei the matter will be more fully inquir ed into. The amount to be raised ot this side of the riye it is thought wil be somewhere iu the neighborhood o; 130,000. _ The Illustrated Police News has a picture representing how Dan. Taylot got that gash cut in the side of hit head. The two young women and Dan. are in the foreground while Dan’s companion, - a young man of Petersburg, is far in the bach ground and evidently “gettin’ away irom thar.” The engraving is intended to represent the condition oi things about an eighth of a second before the edge of the hatchet gotiu its work ou Daniel’s cranium. The girl is in the act of striking, in tact has ohont completed it, while Dan seems just to have discovered his danger. He is looking at the hatchet as it cleaves the air in its unerring pathway to his skull and his eyes, large as saucers, bug out a quarter of a foot

The editor of the Press on reading last week’s Democrat, “got on his ear” and declared he would not sell ont at any price. The Democrat is in possession of facts that warrant ns in stating that Krebs will get the office whether Harrell‘'kicks”or not. If the parties who have been engineering the scheme for ousting Harrell, and who have carried the matter so far that Mr. Krebs has resigned a good position, rented property here and gone to the expense of getting ready to take possession, now let Harrell outwit”them, they ought to have to pay Mr. Krebs $1,000 damages. But they will succeed, or set up a uew paper ; that much seems certain. On the whole, we must confoss that our liepublican brethren aria not dwelling together in unity as they should, and as a good Democrat, we feel called upon to help on their quarrel. Thk Pike Cocktv Dsmocsat is under concern at the report that “two families of negroes are reported to have arrived in Pike county,u and nervously asks: “Do they come in pursuance of the colonizing plan!'” Is it possible that free American citizens are to be subjected to bull-dozing surveillance in Indiana? Two negro families move into a county in the great State of Indiana without asking permission of the Democratic party or its accredited organs. Dreadfuls!—fllockport Journal. The Democrat has been at pains to stale its position clearly on the question of immigration. It admits tho right of any man to select his own home in any State in tho Union. But it does most emphatically protest against the Republican party colonizing in Indiana a horde of pauper negroes from the South for the sole purpose of increasing its vote at the polls. It protests against the act as an outrage upon intelligent citizens of the State, the laboring white people, and as a crime against the poor deluded blacks which they allure from their southern hemes with promises of steady employment at high wages, the falsity of which the unsuspecting victims learn after it is too late to help themselves.

Answers 10 Jinny fjorrespunaents. In reply to numerous inquiries from our readers, concerning the wonderful qualities of the great German Remedy, St. Jacobs Oil,—mentioned in our last issue,—we would inform them that the article may be obtained from our retail druggists, or by their aid. Ask lor St. Jacobs Oil, and if the dealers does not keep it in stock, he will be able to procure it in a few days from the wholesale house. We understood there is already an immediate demand for the remedy, which is ndt so very surprising when it is considered what it is daily accomplishing in the way of relef and cures, bordering, in some instances, on the miraculous. A Card. Ot well Ikd., Dec. 29,1879. Editors Democrat,—M the correspondent of the Press of last week, whq signs his name “dweller,” in speaking of the difficulty between Breeden and the post master, was speaking from his own knowledge, he is an Unprincipled liar. If not, his informant has lied, for the contrary is the truth. Who ever heard of anyone drawing a revolver when they were getting the better of another. L. L. Taylob. Strayed, From the premises of the undersigned, in Jefferson township, Pike county, Ind., on or about the 25th of November, 1879, six head of cattle (five steers and one heifer) about two years old. Two of the steers were red with white backs, matched, except one had white face; one black steer with white back; one yellow and white speckled steer; one white steer; one black heifer. A liberal reward will be paid to any one returning thgm, or information that will lead to their recovery. Robert T. Hollos. A Card. FETZESBCKG, I kb., Dec, SJ, 1879. Editors Democrat—We ask the liberty through the columns of your paper to express onr heartfelt thanks to Samuel Powers and family for their kindness to us while there. The death «f a beloved wife and mother was a severe stroke to ns and the kind attention and tender sympathy of all the family and friends shall never be forgotten. Job* T. McNeely, Margaret G.

ANSWERS TO COBRESPOSDESTS. I. W., Lyhuville, lud.—The facts in regard to the sale of the Press office ere briefly these: That paper under its present management does not give satisfaction to certain leading Republicans, and these hare for a long time been endeavoring to have Mr. Harrell sell out. Mr. Krebs has been assured the money necessary to purchase the office at a fair valuation, and a strong pressure has been brought to bear to bring about a bargain. The contract, it is said, has been signed aud sealed, and Mr. Krebs has managed his affairs in all respects as though the trade was fixed. How the matter will eventually turn out, as Harrell declares he has not sold and will not deliver the office ever to Krebs, can not with certainly be told. It is more than probable, however, that Mr. Harrell will, in the end, have to succumb to the demands of his party. M. S. Union Ind.—Certainly ’tis a fact that a young woman struck at Dan. Taylor with a hatchet one night on the street. If you had been in Daniel’s place, your mind would not be racked with doubts as to the reality of the occurence. . \
