A new time table on the E. & T. H, and Evansville & Indianapolis roads went into effect last Sunday. The Masonic emblem in front of Thornton’s new building presents a very neat and tasteful appearance.

They- were bought for spot cash and will be sold at a bargain, at Montgomery’s. John E. Turner will remove his O. K. barbershop next Monday to the new building in the rear of Bergen & Adams’ drug store. Tobacco commanded a higher price this fall than it has for several years past and Irish potatoes were never known to be cheaper. Geo. W. Spraggias has almost recovered from the wounds received two weeks ago, from a knife in the hands of his demented son. There were lees people in town last Saturday than on aov Saturday for a good white. Our merchants were all complaining of the dull trade. Montgomery’s is headquarters for cloaks, Russian circulars, Xewmarkct and wraps of all kinds and must be sold within the next twenty days. Rev. D. T. Davis preached a sermon last Sunday night regarding the centennial of the Methodist church, its foundation, progress, and future prospects for good work. The mute son of Geo. W. Spraggins’ has been taken to the insane asylum. After the violent attack upon the father it was decided to place the unfortunate in the above named institution. It has been decided in the courts that if a partner of a dissolved firm negleots to give notice through a newspaper of a dissolution of partnership, he is equally liable for all debts contracted after the dissolution. Dec. 20 is the last day you can shoot quails without being liable to a penalty. But as the law is a dead letter we presume we will have quails to eat tor three months yet. Hunters pay but little attention to the law. Parents should visit the schools and note the standing, demeanor, and progress of their children. An acquaintance with the teacher tends to creating mutual good will and confidence and is beneficial all around. Visit the schools.

C. C. Genung, G rand Master of the A. O. U. W., of Indiana, will be here to-morrow (Friday) cveniug to address the public on the progress of the order. The meeting will be held at M. H. Frank’s new hall. All are invited to attend. Harpers Weekly of last week gives promise of an early return to the rauksof the Republican party. Its favorite artist, Nast, is headed in that direction. We look for Republicans to be subscribing again for the paper in less than six months. The following marriage licensee have been issued by County Clerk Ashby since Dee. 1st: William E. Sullivan to Amelia Rkley, Chas. F. Ross to Ida Nixon, Thos. King to Clara Butler, Joan P. Taylor lo Mary S. Russell. The party of gentlemen consisting of Win. Laverty, Pens. Withers. Robt. Glezen, J. R. Dixon and others, who jiave refitted the 11 ebb’s steamer, will star! south next week on a hunting and "fishing expedition. They are well fitted for having a good time and will no doubt succeed in enjoying the trip. The Princeton Clarion finds some difficulty isi reconciling with the facts a recent; sensational account of the marriage at that place of Mies' Sadie, daughter of Dr, Itibb. president of the Viactennes bank, end a Chicago drummer. It seems to be a'case of mistaken identity, r.e Miss Rabb was attending a soe’al at Vincennes at the time of t;he marriage at Princeton. Last Sunday night at Petersburg Rev. DaVid Van Dy ke of tire Presbyterian etyurch preached his farewell sermon.1 lie ha6 accepted a position as pastor of an Evansville church. It is said that the people of the Petersburg church want Rev. R. E. Hawley of this city to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of liev. Van Dyke. It is understood that a proposition has been, or will immediately be, made to Rev. Hawley by the Petersburg eoBgregatioir-~i>aviess Co. Democrat. , | j The many friends of Jesse Hoover, of Clay township, will be pained to learn of the loss of his residence by fire on last Monday morning. It occurred in the second story of the building and had made such headway before it was discovered that but a meagre amount of the contents were secured from the ‘lames. We are informed that the property was under the protection of a policy in The Home, of New York, for $1800. May the adjustment and payment of the Joss be speedy for we know from 6ad exigence how heavy are the burdens imposed by the touch of the red tongued demon. The people have reason to feel proud of the vote received by their fellowtownsman, Hon. W. F. sTowusend, Presidential Elector for the First District. Mr. Townsend got a total of 5145,004 votes in the state. He was beaten by only one man on the whole electoral ticket of the state. Mortimer Nye, of the 13th District, getting one more—245,005. Mr. Townsend ran ahead of tile electors at large, one 14 and the other 17. The elector receiving the highest number of votes is chosen messenger to take the vote of the electoral college to Washington City. Mr. Nye was given this honor by one vote over Mr. Townsend.

Sheriff Shrode took Mr. Johnson (colored) to Washington Tuesday, and placed him in the Daviess county jail. It will be remembered thatJoliuRoa is the fellow who tired a shot through the door of his boarding house in Ayershire on Thursday night. Nov. 27th, by which Eddie Alston lost his life. The boy had been 6ent after an ax, and it is stated that in reply to his knock came the firing, and he died a few days afterwards from the wounds received. Johnson was shot twice by the father of the boy, receiving painful though uot serious wounds, one in the face and the other in the arm. Alston has given bail for his appearance.

A Vinceuns special gays: A cattle plague has broken out in the northern part of Lawrence county, west of this point and it is creating considerable consternation aipoug the istockmen. This disease is described as very fatal,.and its symptoms are lameness and swelling of legs. Cattle then lose their appetite and gradually die. There does not as yet seem to lie any remedy for the cure of or prevention of the disease, and although it is not spreadingfvery rapidly, farmers are apprelteusive. The hog cholera has appeared in portions of this county, although it is not nearly as had sis last year. Mr. W. H. Root, of Palmyra township, lost forty head of hogs by the flisease laM week.

AMUSEMENTS. Local aud General. Give ns a minstrel show. The Ct. A. It. wilt give a beau festival at Schaefer’s Iiall, Tuesday evening, Dec. 30th. A new play called “Triplet" is threatened. It is said by the author to be very funny. Clara Louise Kellogg’s father is a stenographer in New York, hale and hearty, though somewhat advanced in years. John T. Raymond has got a new play, but it is doubtful if there are millions in it, as it is based on The Wooden Spoon. N It is again asserted that Maggie Mitchell will retire from the stage at the close of this seasqii. She has certainly earned a rest. Sarah Bernhardt's recent eccentricities have led her friends to fear that ahe is losing her mind. It certainly looks that way. Bernhardt having set the fashion of playing the sleep-walking scenes in Macbeth with bare feet, we may expect a general epidemic in that direction. Monday evening Mrs. AllieD. Roszeli. elocutionist, gave an entertainment at Schaefer’s Hall, The program consisted of recitations, in different dialects, all of which were decidedly well rendered. Mrs. Bossell is an elocutionist of more than ordinary talent and training, , SOCIETY NOTES. A leap year party io the proper thing. The correct young man this winter, in place of the dude, will be stately, intellectual looking and quietly dressed. New York society is preparing for another war between the rich familios whose fathers bega n life as peddlers and those whose grandfathers did. “Did any one ever sea a girl get a letter at tiio Postoffice from her fellow and not read it until-she got home ? No, sir; and history has bo record'of any such freak of a. girl.” Leap year is nearing the end, and the rights of the fair sex will be abridged till 18-58. After all, the change may make no difference in the number of marriage licenses granted. The latest craze among the ladies in many parts of the country is “kitchen culture." It is said that not a single husband has ait yet uttered a discouraging word in regard to it. The latest dinner-party wrinkle in New York is to present each guest | with a package of fifty visitiug cards, with a plate from which to print more. Fashion is forever reaching aimlessly upward into the realms of the printing business.—Philadelphia Call.

The dance at SchsefePslIall last Friday eveningwas;au,.Sssceedingly enjoyable affair. The young people Went through the mazes of the dance with great zest. It wasdiargely attended. Among the visitors weredhe Misses YaaName, of. Oakland, and Messrs. Heberd and Armstrong, of Evansville. Burdette: ‘‘Some people,” saitl Sirs. Sharpmale, “measure love by gold. I measure it by its quality.” “I measure it tTy quantity, said meek little Mr. Sharpmale, iii fjeble tones. I measure It by the peck,” “By the peck, you luuatic; what do you mean by. that?” “By the hen-peck,” he gurgled hoarsely, and then the rest of the night he wished he hadn’t said it. The Seymour Cresset says: Mrs, Cabler and Humphires honored The Cresset office with their presence last Saturday evening. IVe are always glad to have ladies call on us; it gives renewed energy and we try to make a better papor of The Cresset. As a rain drop foretelliija storm, so does a pimple upon the human body indicate health-destroying virus iu the blood, which can be neutralized aud expelled only by Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic.

From the Jtew Albany Ledger: The Air-Line is carrying the bulk of the travel and emigration west from this part of the State. A company of fire for Harper, Kansas, loft over the road last night. The Dubois and Pike eonuty coal business ha this city has grown into large proportions. Fifteen car loads were retailed out Tuesday from the Air-Line switches west ot‘ West First street. New Albany Ledger, 5th inst: "Yes a good many of Us hare been discharged and all of us poor meu, and most of us with large families to support and the winter just setting in,” said a J., M. & I. section man who was discharged from the road last Friday in order to “reduce expenses.” He added, “I don’t see why they don’t cut down the big salaries of the high monkeymonks instead of ^discharging a eouple of hundred poor men whose wages for a year do not amount to six mouths salary of one of the high officials." The advent of Dr. Sant, the celebrated ear doctor and catarrh specialist, in Petersburg has created a considerable stir among the deaf and catarrh sufferers throughout this section, aud notwithstanding he has been in Petersburg . but a _ week, patients are seen wending their w ay toward his medical parlors, all anxious that he may peep into the hiddeu structure of their diseased ears aud nostrils, and leaving his rooms with bright anticipations of new hope and cheer that they will again be found and well, and judging from ourpcrsonal knowledge of Dr. Saul and some of the strong testimonials of persons who have been wonderfully cured by him and with whom we are personally and intimately acquainted, we have no hesitancy, but take great pleasure in recommending Dr. Saul to ail who are afflicted with catarrh and ear troubles. His office is at the residence of W. P. Knight, where he will remain for a week or two longer, consulting patients free of charge. & OBITUARY. (Communicated.)
