LOCAL MATTERS. Attend church. Good times-altcad. Colds arc prevalent. Stick to your friends. . Sickness is decreasing. ‘‘Changeable weather.’’ The revival is successful. Look out tor a cold snap. Damp, damper, dampest 1 A wedding is on the tapis. Price of wheat is going up. Borne roads are impassable. The quinine market ishfisk. Ileal estate transfers are few. There is considerable sickness. Go to Schaefer s, JIall to-night.. Subscribe for your home paper. Society cireles are not enlivened. The measles are still in our midst. The matrimonial market is active. Doctors arc increasing in numbers. Coal dealers are doing a good business.

The drama at Schaefer’s Hall tonight. Pork packing season will soon be passed.. The bright sun of Tuesday was an ••oasis.'* The new hotel lias not yet found a renter- ~ Good attendance this week at the churches. •‘Houses for rent’’ are scarce. It is a good sign. The Marshal reports affairs quiet in police circles. 55 We want the news from every part of the county. Teachers want an eight month’s term of school. Several civil suits have been filled at the Clerk’s office. _ To-night is the last play for sometime. Go and see it. Head the Treasurers communication to the tax-payers. The rain storm of Sunday afternoon was terrific fora short time. Our building and loan association is in a prosperous condition. A. M.lXHolloway lias just recovered from an attack of the measles. The Democbat office is turning out first-class job work. Give us a call. The farmers prefer to hold their corn, and will not sell at the present price. Job work executed in the highest style of the art at the Democrat office. The streets are covered with a good, thick layer of soft mud of considerable depth. W. W. Woolsey, of Mouroc township, died on Thursday of last week from disease of the heart. .» The Press says the Carriers New Year’s Address of the Pike County DemocKat is very creditable. A blind fiddler from Da viess county was the attraction in the various •‘places of amusement” hist week. C. K. Montgomery will remove his stock of goods from Oakland City to this place ihe first of next month. If yon have the headache drop in !•'rank & Hornbrook's drug store and | get a dose of W. L. It. which will cure in a very short time. A marriage license was issued Friday, says the Vincennes Sun, to Mr. James F. Koss and Miss Cecelia Miller, aged sixteen ; of this conuty. The foreman of the Press informs us that there are over 2.000 descriptions in the delinquent tax list published in his paper this week. “The roads ? .s' bad, the river is his high and there are not many people in town trading,” remarked one of our merchants oil Tuesday. Joseph Naylor, a retail merchant of Washington, and Messrs Joseph & Rothchild, a clothing firm of the same place, have made assignments. Petersburg has been well represented at Indianapolis during the past week and it will probably continue so throughout the present session of the Legislature. The town council will make a great name for themselves and lie blessed by everybody if they will make a move to repair the sidewalks and place them in a first-class condition.

I Jic larmers ot the southern part of Ihe county take most of their tolbaeco to market at lluiitingburg, where about 50.000 pounds are delivered daily from Pike, Spencer and Warrick counties. The lamp erected in front of John Turner's barber shop is a great benefit to pedestrians who pass along Eighth street at night. There should be made a large number of just such improvements. The I. & E. railroad passes through what might be termed the manufacturing part of our tow u. A passenger going: through Petersburg ou the train gets a glimpse of our flouring mills, planing mills, etc. While the people who delight to hear of scandal are lacking for food to roll under their tongues as sweet morsels, they will find a good field to work in at some of our neighboring cities—not over fifty miles away. An authority on poultry says that old tiin pans, suspended by stout cords so that they chine within a few inches of the floor, make excellent feed troughs. The idea is not a bad one. The food is op out of the dirt, and the hens have to stand np and eat “like folks*” no getting in with theiir feet and making a mess generally. The Ague# Wallace-Villa Combination played to a large audience at Schaefer's Hall on last Friday night. The performance was not, in ltd respects, first class. Tlic programme consisted of “Sarah Mill ton” and a burlesque. called “Pocahontas.” Agnes Wall ace-Vi 11 a carried the title role in “Sarah Mu I ton” very creditably, and the rest of the cast performed ; their parts acceptably. This pleasing j first part was marred by the burlesque which followed, which was indeed a [ burlesque.

Pike comity coal is j ous. Everywhere it has been iiittro- ! dttced it “takes the cake” over all ! others for general purposes. -.- | llTe acknowledge an iuritation to ! the third annual ball of the Evansville j typographical Union No. 35, to bo given this (Thursday) evening, January 15,1885. We are informed that not much damage was done by the high wa ters in the territory immediately surrounding Petersburg. Below, however, great loss ensued. A large amount of lumber was washed away. The County Recorder has placed oil the record, since February 27, 1884, 905 instruments, consisting of deeds, mortgages, etc. The previous year— from February 27,* 1883, to February 27, 1SS4—lie recorded 1,212 instruments. The finest depot on the I. & E, track is about completed at Oakland City. It will be occupied in a few daysl This is the only advantage in the way of buildings, that Oakland City has over Petersburg. We distance her in all else. E. II. Yeager, of Survaut vicinity, has shipped a great many sheep to Evansville within the past lew weeks, and lastweek went to that market with a lot of fine poultry. Mr. Yeager lias been very successful iu stock and poultry raising.

Jjiist satimtay.night was made lively for a short time by two or three little set-tos on the streets, by which lib one was much injured. The boys wanted to relieve the monotony of things ami have some ‘•fun.” They paid for the “amusement.” While attending' the funeral of his sister, Mrs. Lavina Knight, on last Thursday, Reddick .Harrell. Sr., became weak and was taken home, where he suffered for a few days from palpitation of the heart, lie is now able to he out, and we hope for his entire recovery. Six of Perry Chappell's children have recovered from the attack: of measles. They were not all confined to their rooms at one time, hut while some were convalescing others became sick. All of them are now well and those who absented themselves from school oil that account have returned to their studies. The petition of Perry W. Chappell and other citizens of Pike county, ask-f tag that the name of Sasser Sullivan be placed on tiic pension rolls was in4 treduced in the Senate one day last week by Senator Voorliees. Sassers Sullivan's jiosto'iBce address is Survaut: and he is Trustee of Madison township. Notwithstanding the Wallace-! Villa attraction at Schaefers Hall last Friday night, a large audience was present at the revival services now in, progress at the M. E. church. The pastor, buoyant with the spirit, preached a warm, heart-felt sermon, and was persevering in his efforts iu pointing the prodigal the way to eternal happiness. From every indication the revival promises to be a suc-j cess. Rev. It. E. Hawley, of Washington, has been called to the pulpit of the! Presbyterian Church of this place. Rev. Hawley has done a great and good work at Washington, lie has filled the pulpit there for about six years, and Isas proven himself to be a social gentleman, a kind-hearted pastor and a conscientious Christian. We congratulate bhr people upon the accession of Iter. Hawley to the ranks of the workers for Chiist, and bespeak for him a generous welcome. Lamberts & Richardson's Dramatic Combination, headed by the celebrated American actress. Miss Julia Blake, and the popular comet}ian, Chas. O. Robinson, are the attractions of the week at Schaefer's Ilall. The first performance was given last night. The play was the successful comedy, “Bachelors.” The large number of seats sold indicated a good house. We go to press too early to give details. The performance to-night will be a perfect treat,and alt amusement loving people should go. L>o not miss it. Military band and exeeileut orchestra in addition to the drama, lte mem-ber—to-night at Schaefer's Hall. Dr. J. E. Dunbar, the oculist of Terre IIante,arrived in town last Saturday. and lias treated various diseases of the eye, at the dental office of Dr. S. L. Wilson, iu the Montgomery building. lie has successfully ]>erformed several operations of Ptery-gium—one-on last Sunday upon, the eye of Charley Wilder. Dr. «Dtiubnr agrees to treat patients free of charge for ten days, from the 10th iust,. if satisfaction is not given. He will he here till about the 22d inst. All persons suffering from any disease of the eye will do well to consult him. lie is performing some remarkable cures. Remenilier that lie will he here about seven days longer, hut it will pay you to see him immediately.

Ill the rear 1884 there were 155 marriage licenses issued by County Clerk Ashby, and ISti during the previous year—1883. It is not known that the leap year caused the failing off. Hut to a casual observer the leap year should have increased the ulimber of licenses issued to wed. The fair sex were given inalienable rights during that year; for twelve long months they were given full sway, and if they did not bring the bachelor into the meshes of adoration, affection and Attachment, it was their own (tire ladies') fault. But Cupid no doubt moves in a mysterious way bis attachments to form, and uoVmouut of philosophy can account for it. The imatrimonial market lias beeu pretty lively since the first of Jauuary, and many hearts that formerly beat separately, now beat as one. Let the good work go on. Progressive euchre has become a very fashionable game. An expert tells how it is done in the following: “In the game there arc any number of people; but twenty-four players, equally divided between ladies and gentlemen, give the best satisfaction. There are then six sets in all; four at each table. The table at the head of the room is the post of honor, and: the set seated there govern the play. When the game is finished a bell is rung at the first table.. Then the (wo at each table who have won a giuue move to the next table ahead. Ttiis gives a constant change of [Kit ties, and overcomes the old way of sitting at one table an entire evening, unpleasant to tho.se who wish to he sociable anil all friends alike. The object of progressive euchre is to mum the first table and there hold positiosi by winning as long as possible, at. though if one conple loses it moves tb the foot, as in the old fashioned sjxdting matches. The sport is said to IjC very' exciting. A prize is sometimes awarded to those winning the most games."

They were the guests of II. H. Richardson and family. Indianapolis Sentinel: W. P. Ivright, editor of the Pike County Democrat, has been appointed BeadingCIerk in the Senate. If Mr. Knight’s experience has been like that of other men connected with country newspapers, he is no doubt by this time highly proficient in the art of reading difficult manuscript. The country editor comes up through much trial aud tribulation, but his experience is cot easily forgotten or the lessons soon unlearned. We predict that Mr. Knight will have no difficulty iu deciphering the Senatorial tbirography.

lu spite of the late inclement weather, anil the inexpressibly awful bail roads and streets, quite' a respectable number of our best citizens, from both city anil country, including .rank and fashion, have visited Ur. Saul, the celebrated Ear Doctor and Catarrh Specialist, who came to Petersburg seven weeks ago, and who lias won gohlen opinions from some of the afflicted during his professional sojourn in our midst. We are very chary as a rule in recommending and eulogizing traveling Doctors who suddenly come and as suddenly disappear, but when they come recommended to ns by persons with whom we are personally and intimately acquainted and remaining permanently with us and standing the terrible test of a public crucible of skepticism, criticism and doubt, proving pure gold in every instance, we gladly and heartily recommend Dr. Saul to all who are afflicted with catarrh and deafness. i In the local wheat market during the past week there has not been much selling or buying. The bad roads have prevented the farmers from hauling. The dealers advanced the price to Go cents, though but little was bought at that figure for the reason given above. Wheat is slowly pushing itself upward in price, and the Chicago prices for May delivery has ranged within the past few days from 85 to 90 cents. It is stated that the sadden advance in the price of this grain is caused by the prospect of a short crop the coming season. IfcTotile*.
