The firm of .Dillon &■ Sons, merchants at Otwell, closed their doors last Saturday, owingdo financial cmharrussmcnts. The firm expects to |>«r dollar lor dollar, and have mortgaged their property to creditors, takink this method of settling the financial trouble. A partner in the firm states that the senior member had incurred gloat expense during the past few years outside of business, and the present closeness of the money market compelled them to take this step. The liabilities arc placed at $<>,000. Nearly every day there is an illustration of the old proverb, “Advertising Pays.” Though sometimes the victims of errors are annoyed by the Hocking of people to their places of business when a mistake is made auuouucingan article at a ruinously low price. Last week the Democrat inadvertently advertised that at A. Hass' bakery two loaves of bread could be bought for five cents, whei. it should have been fifteen cents. People read the announcement, “two loaves for five cents” and went to the bakery in such numbers that Mr. llaas felt like closing his store rather than explain to every one the error. Anyhow, the people were drawn there and some no doubt bought after an explanation. Mora!: Advertise—it will be read. Ott last Thursday, at the County Clerk's office, John D. Beardsley and Miss Flo reuse Carter, of Winslow, were married by Squire White. This couple which was made one—“two souls with but a single tl ought, two hearts that beat as one”—are a handsome pair. The young lady, with a bloom of youth in her face, a form of perfect symmetry, and thcyouugman, a fine looking, manly fellow, of about 250 pounds avoirdupois, started on life's journey. Taking rooms at Chas. Schaefer's, the Cod of Dreams would have soon claimed them as his own, but at 9 o'clock The alarm of fire, was sent forth, and it is reported the husband rushed to the scene alone—but they.were both seen there. May the life of this couple be a happy one, i* tl»e wish of the Democrat. Fiery Flames. When the alarm of fire was cried at 9 o'clock last Thursday night the whole town was startled. Well do the citizens remember the terrible ravages of the tiro in tin? place. Four times within the last three years block after block lias been swept away. Last Thursday night (the 22d inst.,) fire was discovered in the rear part of Moses Hess' dry goods store on Main street, between Fiftli and Sixth. The (lames spread rapidly and soon enveloped the whole building, which was a two-story frame. Great efforts were made to save the residence of Mis. Mary Boone, which stood only a few feet away, but it too was destroyed. All of her household goods were saved, however. Mrs, Nancy Coleman, who occupied rooms over Hess’ store, lost ail her household goods except a sewing machine. By strenuous eft'orts the buildings near those which burned were saved, -though the one occupied by F. M. BaijHTsTfhe marble dealer, was fionsidtwjibly damaged, as well as the stock; to the extent of $300 or $400. The large frame building of John Trafzer on the corner of Sixth and Maig was left untouched, though the stock of buggies was removed into the street for' fear the flames might reach it. ’ Moses Hess places his loss at $6,500, insurance $-1,500; $1,500 in cacli of these companies, Franklin*, Gcrifiauia and Phoenix, of Hartford. The building was owned by Elijah Malott. Loss $600, no insurance. Mrs. Boone’s loss is about $1,200, no insurance.

T& e Straight Line Railroad.

There ha* been considerable discussion, during Ihe past few weeks, of the extension of the Indianapolis and Evansville Railroad north from Washington, as the time for the payment of the tax voted by the townships in Daviess county expired on the 1st of Januvry'. It was thought the tax might be secured by the road asking for an extension of time, but the financial embarrassment of the citizens of that county would probably prevent that. Though it is a mooted question whether the E. & T. II. management ’want to extend the I. & E. road north. A railroad man told the writer a few days ago that the road would he extended to Worthington next summer, and there counect with the Terre llaute and Southeastern, furnishing a direct northern outlet from this part of the State. This would be of great advantage to Petersburg, instead of the present circuitous route to the north. The following dippings, the first from the special columns of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat and the other from the'Indianapolis Sentinel, give some news regarding the matter, though it can not be regarded as “official”: “The extension of the Indianapolis and Evansville Straight Line, known as the Evansville, Washington and liraail Railroad, has been entirely abandoned. If this line had been completed, it would have been on a parallel with the Evansville and Terre llau.te Railroad, and of course a competing line. The same corporation controlling the Evansville and Terre llaute Railroad owns the Straight Line, and it is no doubt exclusively in the interest of the former road that the new line has been abandoned. It will now terminate permanently at Washington, and will get no farther north for years.” “The extension of the Indianapolis and Evansville Straight Line will now permanently terminate at Washington, and will get no further north for years. The taxpayers of Daviess county are ir, a bad shape financially, to »ay the least, and they will not be apt to aid any new railroad enterprises until they recover from the financial depression that has settled upon them because of a recent bank failure in their community.” Knowing, that there is much prejudice and caustic skepticism heaped upon the traveliugdoctor, who with flaming hills and circulars claims healing on his wings, and in many instances he justly merits the stinging opprobium of lik helpless, duped and deceived victims who have fattened his pocket-book, the undersigned cheerfully givos this testimony. The writer has been a sufferer from catarrh of the iiead in a severe form, caused by repeatedly “catching cold,” as it is formed. Some men who claimed to be experts in this malady signally failed to improve my condition, and my general health was impaired by the catarrh. I deem it iny duty to subscribe mv name to this testimony to Dr. J. Ferdinand Saul, the true physician in all its sense, and who I consider a skilled catarrliist. After much hesitancy and halting between tvn> opinions, I finally consulted Dr. Saul, and after his complete and careful examination, by means of his wonderful instruments, he explained to me so thoroughly the symptoms of my ease (even plainer than I could tell him), also the underlying principles and action of his medicines, that I commenced his treatment at once. I have bceu under Dr. Saul’s treatment about two weeks and have experienced a wonderful change in my head for the better, which is exceedingly gratifying to me, and I am satisfied, if my treatment is continued, I will be entirely freed from tho troublesome catarrh. I reeommed those who arc alilicted with catarrh or dcaftiess to consult Dr. Saul at once. T. A. Bvxlm, Editor Pike County Dkxoouat.

.TIME KILL CLUB. This ancient, and yet honorable body, hue again resumed business, with some changes in the officers and committees. The election Ql officers for the ensuing term, with the following east, speaks well for the members. A meeting was called soon aftci the firs, [so that the expense for fuel would not be added to the already busted treasury ] by the Uou. Rake-Pocket Patterson, who in his usual, bland, sewing-machine agent and urbane manner called the meeting to order, and Stated the object of the meeting. Whereupon, How-come-you-so Gordon arose and placed in nominauion, the name of the lit. Uou. Utility White, for President, and there being no other nomination was so declared by the Chair. A committee consi* ting of Fish-Boat Laverty, Hgw-Come-You-So Gordon, and Turpentine Brazolton, was appointed to get the gentleman to understand the action of the Club, and to copduct him to the chait of his office, where he is to preside over the destinies of this Club until his successorshaii be elected aud given time to sober up.

At a signal from the President Red-Drink-in’ Lieker Joe, poured some peas on a dry cow-hide as a signal for silence, when Ilis Honor asked if Coon-Eating George Guiiick was iutlie crow d, who responded to the call, and awaited with bated breath the tirade of the President. Silence reigned supreme—you could have heard the struggle of dogs engaged in deadly combat, or the announcement of a Democratic victory at the late election. Mere His Honor arose to his feet, and with his long bony finger pointing at thej gentleman ealted for, who winced consider-' ably and seemed much disturbed—when in measured terms was asked in the near or distant future, would he.be guilty of enticing, and leading astay, so good a man as A.
