Representatives of two of the insurance companies, in which Moses Hess held policies on his stock, were here last week, namely: The Franklin and the Germania—the Phcenix not being represented. Mr. Hess had #1,500 insurance in each of the three companies. A settlement of his losses has not yet be made. The couples mentioned below want release from their condition of servitude, and tteir petitions are on file with the County Clerk, as follows: Curtis Denton vs. Mary E. Deuton; William Hinkle vs. Malissa Hinkle; Martha Tisdale vs. John Tisdale; Al. Powers vs. Nancy Powers. Their petitions arc gotten up with all the versatility of legal ingenuity, and would cause even the hard-hearted to shed tears. S. L. Rray, oflluutingburg, was in town a few days ago with a view of establishing a pottery here, if he meets with sufficient encouragement. He liuds the clay here superior to that of Dubois, it is reported, and if he cau get a few thousand dollars worth of stock subscribed wiil locate a pottery here, similar to the one he has at Huiitingburg. We are informed he will be in town again next week. Our people will do well to encourage manufactories of all kiuds; they build, up the town. Rumors liavc been current for many of days regarding the freezing to death of Aaron Lagrange, the mail earner betwoun hero and Hazleton. The following is from the correspondence of the Princeton Clariou, 29th ult: “The rumor that Aaron Lagrange, the mail carrier en route to Petersburg, was irozen to death, was not verified, but Mr. Lagrange says it was near enough for practical purposes.” Miss Glczcn, the Postmistress, informs us that Mr. Lagrange is alive anil well, and that he suffered no injury at all.

A prominent and hard-working Democrat has the inside track for the Postmastership. He has a fine petition. Large quantities of coal are daily passing through here from Posey and Rogers' stations to Evansville and other markets.

The great question is: What color of butter are you going to follow ? People remonstrating against the removal of the county seat say they will win, and those favoring the removal seem sanguine of success. Yon have the situation.

There was a large number of country people in town Saturday and trade was good among the merchants. The passable condition of the roads enabled the people to come in. It is possible that tbe Lingo House will be occupied about the 1st or 15th of next month. G. M. Roe, of Morgan field, Kentucky, is tbe name of the prospective proprietor. In one car the following stock was shipped, Tuesday, by Moses Frank and ClintMalott: 30 hogs'13 sheep and 9 head of cattle; by Chas. Pipes, 18 cattle and a lot of hogs. The local papers seem to take pleasure in correcting an error of the Democrat in reporting a local. The mistake in the sausage mill local gave those papers a chance to re-hash. The revival at the M. E. church has been in progress for four weeks, and lias resulted in nearly sixty conversions. Revs. Winkler and McRoberts assisted Rev. Davis during the past week. The bright sun oi the last few days looked like a harbinger of spring, and that the coming of the bonnic, biithsome blue bird was near at hand, but a glance at the snow on the ground and the chillingvwinds which were felt, destroyed all tm; poetry there was in it. From the Washington Gazette we clip tbe following: “Rev. R. E. Hawley, pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city, received a call to tbe pulpit of the Petersburg church not long since, and as a consequence ho offered his resignation here. Sunday preceding tbe last this was virtually accepted, but a week later the congregation recousidered its action and rescinded its acceptance of a week before. This is proof of the strong hold Mr. Hawley has on the affections of the people here.’’ Our readers can note the following predictions of a prominent weather prophet and see how near they prove correctj “The first two or three days will probably be clear and cold; cloudy and wanner on the -1th, followed by storms on the atli to 25th. Each storm will be followed by intensely cold weather. At all localities north of the storm-centre, the cold period Will be of short duration. The storms during this period will be severe. The 26th and 27th will be clear and very cold; the 28th will be warmer. February will be on the whole a colder moth than January, partly because of the usual warm spell in January caused by the immense amount of hal'd freezing in the far north. Water in freezing loses from 10 to20 degrees of heat, and the heat thus thrown off is naturally carried south by the prevailing north winds, causing the socalled January thaw. The storms will be mostly general and cover a wide extent of territory ; lienee, areas of drought will be likely to get rain or* snow, more probably though on the 5th or 6th and 10th to 12th. The warmer days will be about the 5th, 10th, 16th and 23d. The colder ones on the 7th, 12th, 18tli and 25th. Earthquake causes occur on the 5th, lltli, 17th and 23d.

Roller Rinks, The attendance at the rink, in llisgen’s Hall, has been good since the opening, Saturday night. Amateur skaters complain that the chalk on the floor of the skating rink is hard to rub off of cloth. A man who has “been there,” gives this good adviee: “The skating rink man who will rent air cushions, a sort of a bumper, with his skates will get the business of all the new beginners.” “Why is the skating rink like Niagara?” asked a local humorist of the Tribune scribe the other day, and on receiving a negative answer he replied, “Because people go there to see the falls.” We “tumbled.”—[Shoals Tribune. While the skating rinks arc in full blast loud bumps and thumps arc to be iieard almost every iniuute while the Am is going on, says an exchange. It is the same way here, and affords more amusement for tho spectators than the victim, the amateur. For the benefit of our roller-skating ’friends iu town, who a rejust now enjoying the healthful amusement of roller-skates at the rink, we give the latett flirtations on skates, as follows: One foot poiuting to the north pole the other to the south pole—United we stand, divided we fall. Sitting down suddenly—lam tired. Performing the spread-eagle act— Darling, I am growing old. Standing on tho heels to, Stop suddenly—Misplaced confidence iu the skates. Grabbing hold of a lady’s partner with one hand and a post with the other and holding fast to both—Stay until I a tale unfold. Walking out of the hall backwards —Denotes that you have the blue blood in your veins and a rent in your pants.

FISHY. ii Aquatic Animal Eighty-one Feet in Length. a Tie Biggest Fisk Story of the Season. Through a frequent caller at the Demockat office, we get the following “fish” story. Its accuracyjwe will not vouch for, however: A farmer had missed one of his largest hogs, weighing nearly four hundred pounds. Armed with a Henry rifle, he watched the whole of one night, and just as the sun arose, there came from Up over the river bank, A GIGANTIC ANIMAL OB BE1-TILE, which moved slowly toward the farmer's hog pen. A hog weighing at least 300 pounds was grabbed in the month of the monster, and it then moved down to the river and plunged in. The monster was pursued by from forty to fifty men, and shots were fired into it without effect. Everyman with gun or revolver at every opportunity fired at him. The numbers increased so that at 12o’clock there were

TWO THOUSAND FOLLOWING HIS MOVEMENTS. The firing on the bank became so frequent ami reckless, or perhaps thoughtless, that it seemed like a battle field. Neither the roar of musketry nor the impact of bullets against his body seemed to disturb him. By this time it became apparent that revolver and rifle ball would not penetrate his body, as it was roughly estimated up to 3 p. m. ten thousand shots had been fired without even having infuriated him. At this time two men were directed to make the best possible time to town and bring A 12 POUND CANNON, a keg of railroad spikes and plenty of powder. The cannon arrived at 4 p. m. Captain-, who eomniauded the Twenty-third Indiana battery through the Atlanta campaign, took charge of the gun. It was heavily loaded with powder and railroi spikes, and put in position eoveril the river at a shoal a half mile below, and all waited impatiently the result. At twenty minutes past five o’clock the huge river reptile exposed a large part of his body in crossing the shoal, when at a distance of thirty-eight feet the caunon was tired. Even before . TIIE ROAR OF THE GUN had died away in the distance a piteous wail, or groan, loud and long, came from the water; the head and tail lashed the water furiously; the water near the middle of the animal was seen to be deeply tinged with blood. In a few minutes all motion had ceased, aud it could be seen that the railroad spikes had taken effect just behind the fore legs and that a large stream of blood gushed from the wound. A ditching team, consisting of TWELVE YOKE OF OXEN, were a mile distant. They were brought, and chains were thrown around its head, and it was drawn upon the river bink. Accurate measurements were made as follows: ENTIRE LENGTH FROM END OF TAIL TO TIP OF NOSE, 81 FEET : from forelegs to tip of nose, 19 feet; body, from four to hind legs, 40 feet; its tail, 20 feet. Its heart weighed 80 pounds, and had four cavities, and was pronounced tobethe heart of an air-breathing animal, and not a reptile. The lungs and all the other organs seemed like the viscera of animals. It was found that none of the bullets had penetrated the skin. It was skinned, and a taxidermist was employed to stutt it, and it will be scut to the Academy of Natural Science, at Philadelphia.—[This did not occur in Pike or Knox counties.— Editor.] SOMETHING YeV. m-ms, Aral!

The Inauguration. To those who contemplate attending the inauguration, the Ohio and Mississippi Railway otters by far the most attractive route to the .National Capital.
