New Year’s day passed off quietly. Don’t date vour promissory notes 1884. ' ■ i ■ ' Our sidewalks will be repaired next spring! __ Notice the professional card of Ely, Townsend & Fieener. Saturday was a day of fair trade; among our merchants. The records show that, 2.100 dogs are taxed in this county. The mild and bright weather of last Sunday brought many people out of doors. One or two necessary improvements have been made in Schaefer's Hall this week. 150 seats were sold up to Wednesday night for the Agnes Wallace-'Villa combination. Business men have been engaged in settling up the business of 1884, as much as possible. / Petersburg ladies did not “‘keep open house,” but were “‘at home” to friends who called. Mrs. Mcllay entertained friends on the last evening of 1884 who watched for the coming of 1885. Nice visiting cards can be had at the Democrat office. They make a very desirable’ present. A party of young people had a wateli meetiug at the residence of Gerard Patterson on New Year’s eve. The delinquent tax list will be published bv the Auditor next week. It is larger than it was last year. A joyous party of young folks watched the old year out and the new one in at^the residence of Moses Hess.’ Richardson & Taylor is fhe style of the new law linn, composed of Hon.

There was excellent skating on the pomls last week and the hoys took advantage of the ice and enjoyed themselves. Moses Frank went to Cincinnati Monday with two ear loads of hogs. He will probably make one or two more shipments this week. A young man named Morgan IS', confined at the residence of the jailer, with measles, where he went until the disease coiild be cheeked. The”Wallace-Villa played 21 nights in Evansville and gave the best of satisfaction. You will miss the best ti eat of the season if you fail to see them. John Meiscn'helter was lucky to gef a large quantity of iee stowed away before the general thaw. Several persons were getting ready to pack the frozen fluid when it melted. With every dollar’s worth of goods you buy at the Post Office Jewelry Store before the first day of February you arc entitled to a ticket that may give you that handsome gold watch ami chain. The ire of two cx-Rcvs. has been raised by the Democrat ; that of exRev. Joseph Stubblefield and ex-Rev. J. J. Rusk. We now anxiously await the communication of the third—lion. Lewis Loveless.

•Scott Mitchell exhibited a large | skifl' iu front of his place Tuesday, which he sold to ,Jcp Burkhart, to lie used in the swollen waters of White river, where it was takou by Pen Withers. Pen has been working with the Hoods for the past few days. From the records, we get the following information regarding the property of the county: Value of lands, 11,564,1155; value of improvements, *441,970; value of lots, $89,175 ; value of lots and improvements, $296,160; value of personal property, $1,385,505. Total value of taxable*, including railroad property given elsewhere, $3,782,465. The churches of our town will observe the week of prayer in common with the Christian people of the world. A revival has beeu in progress at the M. £. church since Sunday night, the meeting on that night being largely attended, and on which occasion Itev. D. T. Davis preached a sermon full of feeling and productive of much good. Two meetings are held at this church daily—at 2 and 6:30 p. m., to which evervbodv is Invited. s' '■- The sad intelligence of the death of I Mrs. l.avina Knight reached this office | at the time of going to press yesterday ! morning. Mrs. Knight passed away j at 9 o’clock a. in. Wednesday, the 7th hist., after an illness of several week’s duration, all of which time tender ami loving hands administered lo i every want. She was 58 years and 6 months old. The funeral will take place from the M. E. church at 2 o'clock this (Thursday) afternoon.

At the home of Mrs. Ann Benedict a number of young folks made merry the last hours of the old year. A ladder aud some small tools were taken from the planing mill Saturday night by sneak thieves. The ladder was found on Tuesday morning near M. J. Brady's paint shop. At the residence of Win. Davidson a very pleasant party of young ladies aud gentlemen agreeably spent the closing hours of 1884. and did not disperse till the New Year had been ushered in. Arrangements are being perfected, says the Vincennes News, for races next May at the Fair grounds, the present plan contemplating a circuit composed of Evansville, Vincennes, Washington jiud Petersburg. On last Saturday about noou a raft or open boat was seen floating down White river, having for its occupants a woman with a babe in her arms, and two men who guided the boat and kept it in the middle of the stream. ltev. It. E. Hawley, of Washington, has not as yet been called to the pulpit of the Presbyterian church of this place, and it is not known who will take the place made vacant by tiro, resignation of Mr. Van Dyke, a few weeks ago. At the M. E. Church on New Year’s eve a large number of the members of the congregation and Sabbath school scholars assembled and were made the recipients of packages containing sweets and other novelties. The little ones were delighted. Eliza Beadles, wife of W. G. Beadles, who lives near Survant, has woven 460 yards of linsey aud jeans since last summer. This is good work and is worthyof notice. Mr. Beadlps and his wife have been residents of this county for over thirty years. Here is the advice of aa exchange to heus; “Do the lazy hens who are standing 'round on one leg doin' nothin', with eggs at two cents a one and upwards, realize that these are economical times when eiwgybody is expected to do something for a living?:’’ ' White river made a' 6-inch rise Monday, and the rain which* continued throughout Monday night sent the stream up to a higher point, covering the bottom lauds. The damage will be considerable to the property in the bottoms, and the growing wheat will sutler. The question of the removal of the county seat—that is the work for and tgainst—is now transferred to Tiidiiinapolis, where petitions and remonstrances will be sent in two or three lays. In the meantime the voter and tax-payer will await the action of the legislature Upon the bill regulating ihe removal of county seats.

As was previously announced, the members of Pike Lodge No. 11S4, l.jO. ). 1\, and Liberty Lodge No. jilli. Degree ofJteliekah. held a public installation of their otlicers at 1 o'clock. >n'Ne\v Year's day, in the village of Arthur. There was in attendance a irWy respectable number of Odd Fellows and friends. After installation services a splendid repast "was parlex en of, which had been prepared by die good sisters. All present were Mvitcd to the dinner and everything passed off in the best of order. The people returned to their homes With the best of feelings, and seemingly with the intention of practicing the rrand principles of the order. “The Hujnan Ear, or the Whispering Gallery .of the Immortal Soul,’’ was the title of Dr. J. Ferdinand Saul's lecture at the M. E. church on last Saturday evening. The lecture was a gem, bright and sparkling, so to speak, uid was pleasant and instructive to all dike. The Doctor thoroughly explained the contexture of the human jar, with perfect eJearnt ss and conciseness, and his remarks were replete with scientific illustrations and explanations. Dr. Saul, though a professional man—an aural surgeon—is well adapted to the pulpit or lecture Held. A man of line presence, prolific, scholarly attainments, he is! the type of a man who would succeed. We wish Dr. Saul success in his profession, however, llis lecture Saturday night was a treat to the tine audience present, who are talking of requesting a repetition. Such lectures are of great interest to a community, and every auditor was pleased.

Of the Agnes Wallace'-Villa Comhiuation, the Evansville Journal of December lath, 1881, says: “Another large audience greeted the Agues Wallnce-Villa combination a;t the Apollo theatre last evening. It was an audience composed largely of the best theatre goers of the city, and there was a noticeable increase in the number of ladies. As on the first appearance of the company, the programme gave eminent satisfaction and Agues Wallace-Xilla was greeted with several enthusiastic calls from the appreciative auditors. The drama of “Sarah Multoir’ is a singularly aflectiug one. It is a fine character, impersonated by a finished actress. The spell is quickly broken, however, when the drama is over and the rollicking afterpiece of “Aun-Bow-Lcan” is reached the audience is in a roar of delight. In point of make-up, personal appearance and general style, Sam B. Y'illa is far superior to any female impersonator who has ever appeared in this city. Ho is ably supported by Miss Sahra Dcshon guid the entire cast.” _______ Wilder's Liver remedy meets all the requirements of an alterative, laxation, or purgative. It is a new and entirely vegetable combination of well known remedies, and may be relied upon in all cases for the cute of headache, chills and fever, costiveuess. For sale by Frank & ]Iobx brook.

BA1L20AD RUMBLINGS. Total value of railroad property ii the county, $93,875, as the recordshow. The O. & M. has arranged a round trip rate of $16.15 from Washington Iud., to the New Orleans Exposition A company has been recently organized at Vincennes, Ind., says tin Evansville Journal, for the building of a road from Vincennes to Owensboro, Ky. The proposed road will run direct from Vincennes to Ariliui Station, on the Air Liue road, thence direct to Owensboro. It will run twl miles south of Petersburg. The company is composed of the same parties who projected the building of a road from Vinc'ennes to Jasper. The following are extracts from telegrams regarding the Air Line receivership : On Saturday, 3d inst., at Chicago, Judge Gresham confirmed the appointment of Mr. Evans as permanent receiver fixing his bond at $75,l)bO. He was authorized to pay all claims lor labor and supplies accruing during the last year. The change was not unexpected. Indeed, rumors to such an effect have been ufioat for some time, and although always stoutly denied by the Air Line officials, other railroad men in a posifion to know have frequently intimated that the statements were in a great measure truthful. The Air Line has been running out of Louisville for two years. The entire division covers 253 miles of track, and the rolling stock numbers 34 locomotives, 50 passenger ears and 1.011 freight and miscellaneous cars. For a new road, the esrnlngs have been handsome and perfectly satisfactory to the stockholders. Two-thirds ol the Air Line property is owned by local capitalists. The immediate cause of tire appointment of a receiver is the heavy outstanding construction debt. Frequent and disparaging rumors involving the Air Line property have recently excited its creditors. The latter demanded prompt relief oi the securities, and tire railroad was forced either to make an assignment, or as it more often occurs, pass into the hands of a receiver. The Air Line is entering upon the same existence which was commenced and successfully carried out several years ago by its rival, the Ohio & Mississippi.
