“Dixie” Smith ami James Plants engaged in a set-to Saturday night in front of Bergen & Adams’ drug store, which wound up in a catch-as-catch-can wrestling match, before a good audience.

On the train t lie otherday tvc had a conversation with Sam Rogers, one of the proprietors , i~ the Rogers’ mines. Mr. Rogers takes a hopeful view of the coal trade; and thinks, the Pike county coal for general purposes equal to the Pittsburg article, lie says the attention of railroads and capitalists only need to be called to this fact, and the utmost satisfaction will be found to exist among all com- ; panics who use Our coal. Where it is I introduced and used the coal is all that could he desired. It is particularly adapted to the "railroad engines; is easily lighted, and does not form in clinkers like other coal. Mr. Rogers is of the opinion that when our coal is properly placed before the consumers throughout the country the demand will be more than local, to which it has been almost confined. When this demand occurs, a general boom may be looked for, and our coal fields will be developed ; and as they are almost unlimited the outlook is indeed favorable. As tile mines arc now being worked, the business is conducted merely to supply the demand, of course. As the demand increases, our coal fields will be more largely;dcveloped to supply the trade ; new shafts will be put iu, the mining forces will be increased; and all this can not help but be beneficial to the general trade and our business prosperity iu the future. Efforts are being made that will be productive of all these good results. Christmas Tree at Gray Church.’ There will be a Christmas tree at the Gray Chur*, h.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS, Jacob Cassell, er., tiled of pncn-| mouia, at Vincennes, last week, aged seventy-six years. He removed to Indiana in 1S13, and largely contributed to the growth and prosperity cf the State in early days, lie was a kihgly respected citizen. ■ The assignees of the broken bank at Washington have given out that tiie total liabilities will be about $121,783.28. Tiie, appraised value of the real estate belonging to the firm is ’$24,250, and "the personal property (notes, securities, etc), $70,877,79, makttig a total of $,JV.127.7s>. This makes the liabilities $20,655.43 in excess ol the assests, which are estimated at a fair figure, and it is more than likely that the property will really fall be", low the appraised value.

It is probably that the bandits who terrorized the denizens of Crawford .and Orauge counties recently, have been captured at Mt. Carmel. III. Three tramps, named James .Miller, Elijah Easter, and Enoch Easter, were arrested at Mt. Carmel for burglary, and pleading.guilty, were sentenced to three years in the Illinois penitentiary. While tti route to the penitentiary Elijah-" Easter escaped from the sheritf, ,l*y jumping througb the car window. It was a daring escape, but lie lias not been recaptured, These three men were run out of Uuionviilc, Greenville township, Orange county, by the Utiiouville vigilant committee, and from that time until they were captured they burglarized every farm house in that neighborhood where there was any prospect of getting any money. It'is probable tliat'Elijah Easter has retorted to the Crawford county neighborhood and again entered upon bis exploits. The other two whom the sheriff had charge of were taken to Chester, but only for the short term. BIKD. GT'LLICK.—At her residence, Monday evening, Dee. 15, 1881, at C o'clock, Mas. Allis M. Glllick, aged 28 years, 8 months and 13 days. After months of patient suturing, Mrs. Gultick passed from among us. At 6 o’clock, (lie close of the day, she called her friends to her bedside who kissed her Ups and she passed into an eternal sleep. That fell destroyer— consumption—thus takes axvav one who had ascended the sun-kissed hills of womanhood, plucking here and there a flower along the pathway to be woven into a wreath of “Memory one that will remain fresh and everlasting to all who knew her. She was charitable; and “the record of a generous life runs like a vine around the memory of our dead, and livery sweet, unselfish act is now a perfumed flower.” The funeral took place from the M. E.
