That the autumn is rapidly apnrOMhili" is manifest by the song of Iik ivas^v i:jtv-dW, which is-borne on every eveuinwvl,;e<vZe Princeton is rapidly assumin'; ..,-4 ropolitan airs. She has passed an ordinance prohibiting the festive swine from roaming at will. Every farmer and st<[»ek raiser in the‘country and every manufacturer should arrange to liave something on exhibition at the coming fair. The late rains have insured an abundant corn crop. With other good crops that tljis section has had, business will move lively in the fall. It is strange, but nevertheless true, that several men in this communitymanage to live without working any, and they have no visible means of support. Joseph Whiteloek, a farmer of Jefferson township, while in town last Monday was thrown from a horseitfl to a pile of lumber and eonsiderably bmised up. It is easier to pay an undeserved compliment to a rich man than to be commonly courteous to a poor man. Human nature is thus proved to he not entirely a success.

The dullness of things about town is something that our business men earnestly desire to see changed, but until'our farmer friends get through with theiy work, it is nut probable that things will get any more animated than they are now.

Burr-Robbins’ show which exhibited at thispiacc last Monday attracted the largest crowd that lias been in Petersburg this season, the attendance at the afternoon show being estimatted at five thousand. The procession was (good and the circus performance about up to the average. It is about time for country editors to commence acknowledging the receipt of apples, peaches, pears and watermelons. The editor of the Demckat gives notice now, that seme person can get a very handsome notice from ns, written in our best style, for favors of this character. What cares the lover for storms or overflows, thunder or lightning or a gentle touch of an earthquake, or even the peril of death, if pre pared on his way lienee by the conviction that he has' fully done his duty l»y buying his clothing at from ten to fifteen per cent below the prices ordinaraily charged l>y clothing dealers, at Lyon's big clothing house, Evansville. / --— \ Joseph Cross, an old citizen of this township, died on last Saturday morning of heart disease. lie had been quite ill for some time lint on the night previous to^is death, seemed to be getting better, and big atten - dants went to bed and woke up in the monting,to find him dead.

At certain seasons of the year nearly every j>erson suffers to a greater or less extent from impurity of the Wood, MUiousness, «fce. This should be remedied as soon as discovered, otherwise serious results may follow. Sherman’s ‘-Prickly Ash Bitters” will effectually remove all taint of disease and restore you to health. The most deadly foe to all malarial diseases is Ayer's Ague Cure, a combination of vegetable ingredients only, of which the most valuable is used in no other known preparation. This remedy is an absolute and certain sjiecifie, anil succeeds when all other medicines fail. A cure is warranted. As previously announced through (he columns of the Demockat, Kev. ; .1. A.

The Board if county commissioner? pas-ed an order Tuesday appropriating $106 to defray the expenses of makings county exhibit at the Southern Exposition.

A Hint to Our Citizens. i Fair week is near at baud ami during that time it is highly probable that a great many strangers will visit Petersburg, and the impression made upon them will redound either to the credit or discredit of our town. In many respects the citizens of Petersburg have just reasons to be prt»ud. We have more handsome residence and business houses than any town of no larger population in Southern Indiana, and the business houses especially would be a eredit to any city in the State, hut in some respects we are far behind. Our sidewalks are iu bad repair and continue to get worse all the time. To die sure there have been ordinances passed by the town council requiring sidewalks to be built, but for some reason they are not enforced. Besides this many of the streets arc overgrown with obnoxious weeds, giving them a decidedly ragged a ppearance. This the citizens should remedy without the inter- . A your premises win aeeompnsn wonders and you could not fail to be delighted with the improvement it would make in the appearance of your premises, besides decreasing the liability to sickness. We hope the pride of every citizen may be aroused aud that each one may take a personal interest in inakiug the town ek-an, healthy aud attractive. leivuv« -A few hours work '*Wnal * with a _ authorit . — u

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. The Burr Bobbins show pitches its tent at Princeton to-day, / Yan McCrillus, known throughout Southern Indiana, was found dead in the gutter of the Main street,, of Jasper, Dubois county, on, Sunday morning the 28th ult. lie was intoxicated when last seen alive. A .Patoka woman recently gave a saloon keeper of that place notice to desist from selling her liege lord whisky, and upon his failure to comply wi th her demands proceeded to smash the front windows of his saloon with an ax, foi which she was arrested and taken to jail. Princeton Clarion: Henry Dil.tz, an old man and for many years a county charge, was killed by an E. & T. H. train at Patoka, Saturday morning. He was walking alorg the traek, carrying a valise on a stick over his shoulder, and when the train approached him he looked around and saw it was very near, and stepped off the traek lie did not njove far enough away, however, for'the pilot guard struck the valise he was carrying and hurled him a considerable distance* the force of the fall killing him. A graduate of Hanover College, who has been preaching the -“faith” doctrine for several months, was holding a meeting at Bicknell recently, when n decayed beet was thrown’iuto the pulpit by a hoodlum. This was followed by a shower of bad eggs, one of which struck a lady auditor in the breast. The meeting at ouee adjourned, anti on passing out of the house with bis wife leaning on his arm, Rev. Mr. Garrison was assaulted and knocked down. The good people of Bickueil propose to prosecute the scoundrels who did this disgraceful act. On Tuesday morning of last week Henry Ash, a deaf mute, was walk- . lug on the track of the Air Dine Rail way near English, Crawford county, reading a newspaper as he tvalked. The engineer of the morning passenger train saw him and sounded the signal for him to get off the track, supposing of course he would do so, ! not knowing he was deaf. But Ash walked straight to ward the train, intent u]M>n his reading. Seeing the man paid no attention to the signal the engineer put on his air brakes, but the train did not stop till it struck and passed over Ash. One of the uufortunate man’s legs was cut off, bis skull crushed anil he was otherwise' mangled. The train men took him to English, where he died as soon as he reached the depot

MAJOR CALKINS, THE BIG GUI! Carr, litekeli and Peril#, the Lessar 6ns, lake their Mint in this Count;, After Iw-li Flo* Ashing of Trumpets, and are Gr eeted by a Yery Small Andieaee. Tuesday was a most'beautiful day. Not a cloud obscured the sky. The air was cool, balmy and pleasant. The roads were in sple iidid condition. The farmers were prei ty well through with their work, the ‘ 1 eat press being over. The Press and J ews had announced that Major Calkins, Republican candidate for governor,, would speak at the court house at ome p. m. llaud bills had beeu scattered profusely all over thecountv making the same announcement. With a gnat flourish of trumpets and sounding of Korns had his coming been announced. The Major was accompanied by Bruce Carr, candidate, for Auditor of State, Robert Mitchell, candida te for Secretary of State, and Stanton J. Peelle, candidate for Congress in the Indianapolis, district. This Peelle is the same Peelle that was so badly |>ealed by Pink Fishback, Esq., an eminent Republican lawyer.of Indianapolis. . When the hour came there were probably one hundred voters from the country, with men women and children enough front town—mostly women and children—to till the court room. Iu the language of Dickens, Mr. Posey introduced the Major as ‘■one of the most remarkable men in all this country ” lie said the Major was the best orator in the State and possesed more magnetism than any other man. Until the Major opened Ids mouth his appearance seemed to verify Mr. Posey 's statements, but at the close of his two hours speech the universal verdict was “if he is the best orator in the State, may Cod have mercy on the worst." As to his maguetism, if he be possesed of any, it must have been in his pocket book, for he utterly failed to exercise or exhibit it here. The Major was good uatured in his remarks and did not excoriate to a very alarming degree. He “‘yanked oft"' a few old gags by way of pleasantries that have been repeated in everv campaign since the war, such as the fox not having heard of the treaty of peace among the animals, and likening Democrats unto it, inasmuch as they had not heard that the war was over, and like matters equally insipid and stale. Thera were from fifty to a hundred Democrats present, who patiently heard tlfe Major through and at the conclusion of his speech.' their faith iu Democratic principles was .stronger than ever, by reason of their splendid comparison with the puerile stuff the Major dished out to them as Republican principles. For want of space we cannot review the Major’s speech this week, but will do so iu our next issue.
