LOCAL MATTERS. Encourage manufactories. The atock market is quiet. Organize a literary society. Why do you not attend church ? The editor of the News is acvnic. —-st--' February is making a good weather record. Send a valentine. Business enlivens. Remember the poor. Repair the sidewalks. Dfylight is increasing. Amusements are plenty.

Samuel Hargrove advertises stock for sale. Lent begins next Wednesday, the ISth iust. The present winter has been a rough one on railroad men. A horse buyer has been in our midst for several days. Look ont for a change in the Model Drug Score advertisement next week. A good pointer: ‘'Never dispute a tax collector, unless you have a receipt.” _-s The high school will celebrate Washington’s birthday in an appropriate manner. The store of W. F. Brock at Snrvant was destroyed by fire on Tuesday night, (the 3d inst.) A writer on signs and omens says a heavy ringing in the ears indicates news of a sudden death. AVc have had successful religious revivals and now look forward to a business revival, suggests an exchange. The marshal-should be given credit for keeping some of the crossings clean last week during the muddy weather. From present prospects the building boom will receive a new impetus in the spring. Petersburg always leads—it never follows. The meeting of the stockholders of the agricultural society brought many peoplo to town Saturday from all parts of the county. The season for business advertising is at hand, though a shrewd business man observes that “the time to advertise is all the time.’’ (•ar.e should be taken with base burners. In dosing them for the night shut all openings through which the gas might escape. The roads were 'soft and sluicy and in a few hoursnvere frozen with a very rough surface; and then—people wanting a change were gratified. Citizens who have erected street lamps and cause them to be lighted at their own expense, deserve the praise of every one. “Let there be light.” It is said that a piece of zinc placed on live coals in a hot stove will effectually dean out a stove pipe, the vapors produced, carrying oft'the soot by chemical decomposition. A» eclipse of the suu is one of the attractions for this latitude on the luih of March, beginning at 27 minutes past 11 o'clock in the forenoon and continuing to 2:12 in the afternoon. * “My, U>y, how . that chimney smokes," complained a wife to her husband. “It might do worse, my dear,” lie replied consolingly. “I'd like to know how.” “Why, you see, it might chew.” Despite the rough roads a large number of country people were in towu Saturday trading with our merchants, transacting business at the court house, “boss” trading, and seeing the sigh's generally. j, - “The cutest tiling in the world is a woman ; the wickedest thing is a boy, and the deccivinist thing is a boss,” is the philosophy found in a valued exchange, coming from some unlettered but wise man.

-;- Society circles tti'c not dead, but sleeping. Those who have been heretofore indulging in the pleasures of the world have spent hours in attendance at the revivals—and who can gainsay that it is not best? No doubt many of our citizens have been up at 5 o'clock in the morning and looking at the star of Bethlehem. As it is said it will not be visible agaiu in four hundred years, one should not be satisfied without a good look. Cupid has for some time bad ay lumber of our youug people transfixed by his arrows. His work willbeconsumated by weddings in the near future. In the meantime he will go on with his work equipped with the bow and arrow. A farmer who called at this office Saturday expressed a great fear that the wheat might be injured by the .severe weather. He accounted for it not being able to go through an exceedingly rough winter by reason of its not getting a good start last fall. The revival at the C. P. Church has been in progress since the first of the month, with a large attendance daily and nightly. Kev. II. C. Yates, of Oweusville, who assisted his brother in the meetiugs, delivered excellent sermons, and showed a great, earnestness in his work. It is bat n step-oli Down to the dep-oh. The wav is quito steep-oh That leads to the deep-oh. I slipped on a gcrape-oh Down by the day-poll. In a store near the dee-pot 1 bought this small tea-pot. Perhaps to end the agitation V.'e’d better henceforth call it station.

The revival at the M.E. Church was successful. Everyone is iu favor of a change— In the weather. Four marriage licenses were issued since our report last week. The bright day Saturday brought out a large number of ladies. It is said that the author of the Hazelton lion story has been sent to the asylum. Fred. II. Poetker has purchased the property of Will Lee, near the high school building. ^

The County Clerk reports nothing of interest on file for *he term of court since our last report. ■ The measles are still in our midst, though not in such an epidemic form as they -were for a few weeks. Daniel B. Davidson, administrator of the estate of Peyton J. Colvin, gives noticeyn the final settlement of the estate. Give us a lecture by a man prominent in that field. Hon. Will Cuinback, for instance. It wt^ild be a rare treat. The residents of the neighborhood south of town frequently indulge in the fun and excitement of a fox chase. The County Medical Society had a cold day for their meeting last Tuesday. It is a very cold day, though, when you freeze out a medical mar. Class in geography—‘“Who can tell me anything about a strait ?” asked the teacher. Boy—“I heard my dad say last night, that it beats two pair.” A first-class piano tuner paid our (towii a visit, and dnritfg the past ! week the tones-of the pianos have | been changed from discord to perfect ! harmony. Couyt item in Washington Gazette: State ex rel Board of Commissioned; of Sullivan county against Wm. J. Bethel, Auditor of Pike county. Cause reinstated aitd conti sued. We call attention to the advertisement headed “$5-00 lor 35 cents.” : The Call Publishing Co., Chicago, ■ Illinois, make an offer of a $5 eyi elopedia for 35 cents. Bead it. The school term of Madison township was the shortest of any in the i county. The schools in that township closed about two weeks ago. Clay township schools .closed last week. The present winter illustrates the j old riddle: “Open at each end and-) open at tiptop; thing in the middle goes tiippity flop.” That thiug may be properly named “sudden change.” On the rollers he glides like cars, lfut an accident Jus happiness mart; As so swiftly be sped, Hesat dow n on his.head. And saw about ten million * * *! --- | Some towns complain of .Sabbath 1 desecration. Petersburg is a model; in the observance of the Sabbath, and ; her citizens are church-going people.; as the weli-filied edifices on that day attest. From the State mine Inspector's report we learn that Pike county has IS mines and 373 men employed, and Daviess,county IS mines and employs 604 men. Clay county has 31 mines, and employs 1,830 men. Gymnastic in school—“So you didn’t j succeed very well with your school in j Illinois?” “No, I had to give up at i the end of the first month.” “Did you j you use the blackboard much ?” “Xo,1 it was too large. But 1 used all the j other furnlhihi that wasn’t nailed | ; down."—[Exchange. The following paragraph tells how a man was divorced from the wrong ; woman: “Through several,mistakes in serving palters, notices, etc., it is now found, after legal proceedings covering the greater part of a year, and costing $3,000, that an Oswego man has been granted a. divorce from another man’s wife.”

Link Mi ley’s painful accident was mentioned in last week’s papers. lie j was out hunting, Saturday, Hist ult., and'while standing on a log with both hands©ver the muzzle of a double • barreled shot gun, it slipped oft' the log and both barrels were discharged in his hands. Dr. Duncan informed us Tuesday that he had just amputated the two middle fingers of the right hand up to the wrist and that he thought the unfortunate young man would now get along very well. Mart Fleeuerand Prof. Stillwell are at work on the books of ex-County Treasurer J. W. Richardson. Mr. Stillwell joined Mr. Flecner about ten days ago, and they are going over the books examined by the experts some months ago. They represent Mr. j Richardson. Mr. Stillwell, in answer to the reportorial pump, said, “We art finding things that mix the experts,’’and from.his answer we judged that Mr. Richardson's affairs were being straightened out to Ris credit. The examination will consume several weeks yet. The stockholders of the Pike County Agricultural Society met at the Court House last Saturday, the 7th just., and elected twelve Directors to serve the ensuing year. Over 300 votes were cast, which .showed"a good attendance, and a great deal of interest was taken in the proceedings. After electing the following Directors, the meetiug adjourned (ill next Saturday, when the gentlemen named below will assemble aud elect ofiicers: Directors— Sam’l Hargrove, J. W. Wilson, W. A. Oliphant, Goodlet Morgan, Isaac R. Lett, R. Harrell, Sr., Samuel II. Stncky, Henry C. Brenton, E. P. Richardson, Willard Morrison, A. J. Billmeyer, Patrick McXabb.

Now is thq winter of the farmer’s discontent, bat he looks forward to better things in the spring. Bright sunshine, and thaw ; Deep mud—oh, pshaw! Then blizzard’s chilly blast; Poetry ? No; ’tis the last. The Oakland Norma! Institute will open March 16tli. It was well attended last year. Prof. N. C. Johnson can give all the information desired. WritQfohiuu • Mrs. Asa Lett died last Sunday night from cancer, and was buried Tuesday. She had beeu a sufferer 'TVorn this dreadful disease for some time, bearing her afflictions with fortitude, and is now called to a home i where there is eternal rest. "S ■--- / The skating rink was closed Saturday, and the skates were taken to Oakland City. Notice was given the owner of the Ilisgen building by one of the renters that a complaint wonld be filed, as the noise from the skates was considered a nuisance, and as the managers of the rink could not obtain another building, the rink was closed.

Petersburg does not become “crazy” over anything. While progressive euchre, roller-skating, etc., ete., are n “perfect craze” in nearly every town and city in the country, these pleasant pastimes do not disturb our serenity in the least; we take them all as they coine. and move on in the even tenor of our way waiting for what is next to come. On all property that taxes, interest, etc., had not been paid before Monday, the 9th inst., Auditor Bethel commenced to sell the tracts or so much thereof as necessary to pay taxes and charges, as published in the delinquent list. Compared with all other countiefc in the State, the list of Pike county is not large. It is a creditable showing.

But this thing j will occur regularly every four years hereafter, till persons now in their teens shall have passed to their three score years and teu. The following is going the rounds of the press. Pass it along: “A lady who recently came out from the cast, tflls us about the fast mail trains. She says i she saw the conductor attempt to kiss j his wife good-bye while she was waiting on the platform, but the train went by with such a rush that his lips made j love to a dray mule ten miles beyond.” Johnnie McCarty says he was on the train when that occurred. J. I.. Crawford, a farmer near Oakland City, is getting considerable reputation as a dealer in thoVough-bred stock, such as Devon cattle, Poland China hogs, and Cotswold sheep. At the I'ike county fair last fall Mr. Crawford’s cattle were awarded nine ribbons on nine head and eleven ribbons on ten head; and bis Poland | China I ogs carried off the first pre- | mium and the sweepstakes. ! The revival at the M. K. Church! ! closed ou Thursday night of last weak. Meetings were held iu the afternoon and at night for over one month. Rev. D. T. Davis worked so hard that he was compelled to ask for assistance, and in the last week or two was aided at different times by local preachers. j Rev. T. C- Danks, of Washington, preached on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. llis sermon i were instructive and pleasing to the congregation. Rev. D. T. Davis and his colaborers deserve a reward for their work. There were fifty-six conversions.

: the happy possessor of one of the best ; horses in that section, lie purchased I from Patrick McCarty, of this?place, j his fast Jrottiug horse, Johnnie Me, | and lie was shipped to Evansville last I Friday. When Pat. took the horse iu- | to the car, he said to him, "Old fellow, i good bye,” and the horse lifted up his ! foot as if to go through the form of ! shaking hands. Mr. Carpenter bought j the horse for family use, but should ; an opportunity oiler he will throw | the dust in the eves of some of Mr. j C.’s fellow townsmen. The price paid ! is a seeretfbut we think it was about 1 'steen hundred dollars. The horse is i a dark day, 16** hands high, weighs 1,350 pounds, and if he was only ten seconds faster he would be worth wm The Evansville, Washington and Brazil ll&ilroad (Straight Line) would be of great benefit to this part of the State, if extended north from Washington. It would give a direct northern outlet for passenger and freight traffic. The failure of the E. & T. H. management to extend the road according to contract, by which the tax in Daviess county was voted, was due to the scarcity oi' money, and that many of the parties interested in the road had investments from which the money could not be drawn to put in the building of the road. Daviess county would have paid the tax ho doubt had the road been extended according to agreement by the first of last January. The failures in that county have had no effect on the general tax-payers of the county, add our reports are that business in Washington is looking up and confidence in all branches of busiucss is rapidly reaching its former firmness.

The bill to change the law regarding the removal of county seats was indefinitely postponed by the Legislative Committee on last Wednesday. Representatives of both factions of this c >unty were on hand when the time came for action. This is a victory tor those remonstrating against a change in the present law; and while a great many persons think the bill will not reach a vote this session, there are (hose who arc of the opinion that it will. Then again there are some persons who say that if this bill providing for a change does not pass, an election to remove the county scat will be belli under the present law, which requires So per cent, of the legal voters to relocate a county seat, and that they shall pay or secure to the Commissioners the appraised value of the old public buildings. At any rate, the county scat question will be a factor in county-politics hereafter, a fact which every ojie will admit. By courtesy of our fellow-towns-man, Robert P. Hawthorn, we are permitted to glance,over the Democratic Press, bearing date of Petersburg, Sept, it, 1868; It was a redhot Democratic sheet, edited by James Htiekpby. Besides local matter of interest, tiic paper contains a great tjeal of political matter—the National, State and county tickets, on which are: Seymour ami Iliair, for President and Vice-President; Thomas A. Hendricks, for Governor; Hon. William E. Niblaek for Congress ; Daniel C’. Ashby for County Recorder, and Ansel .1. Patterson for Commissioner, lion. Win. L. Niblaek am! Gen. Jas. C. Vcatch were then opposing candidates for Congress, and engaged in joint discussion throughout the district. There is considerable correspondence regarding a proposed gravel road to Vincennes, and in the paper is published a town ordinance providing for the grading, paving, and planking or repairing of Certain sidewalks in the said town of Petersburg, signed by tlie President and Board of 'Trustees, as follows: J. T.. Iloffhine, President; E. V. Scales. A. Leslie, J. H. Miller. The paper is a very creditable one, and Mir. Hawthorn says the party ami the people were proud of it, being then in its infancy, the fifteenth week of publication. William Johnson. the negro confined jn the Daviess jcoutity jail Tor--safe keeping, broke jail on Tuesday night, the 3d inst., and escaped with a fellow prisoner, John Daily,-awaiting a trial for assault. Johnson, it will be remember^, was! under indictment for the killing ofh boy named Eddie Alston, at Ayershire, on the night of November 27th, iSSl. The manner of their escape is thus detailed by the Daviess Couuty Democrat: A hole was cut from the outside .corridor through the stone land brick wall just beneath the lower south window on the west side of. the building. The hole was at the floor of the corridor and was in the shape of a half circle. They had evidently been at work for several days, and undoubtedly had assistance from the outside the night of the escape. The work was done with a stone-cutter’s ax, which some friend had smuggled them. This ax, a small file and a cape-knife which had been hacked into a sort of a saw they left behind. In the day time the men were allowed the run of the corridors. “It was noticed for several days that the fellows kept up a groat racket —singing, dancing, whistling, etc. This was done to drown the sound of the ax striking the stone. The chips and dust from tiie stone were carefully temoved and thrown down a pipe, which was found completely filled with hits of stone. At night the prisoners were locked in the inner corridor, into which the cells open, but they succeeded in turning the circular door and reached the outer corridor, where by the aid of their confederates outside they easily removed the layers of brick and crept out. It seems that the circular door is a kind of a frrttd, as the prisoners got on to the trick of opening itr front the inside.’’

Johnson was seen on the « mslow road a short distance from here last Tuesday by I)r. Ireland. The negro left the road before the Doctor met him, but lie was recognized. Sheriff Slirode and a deputy wetv soon on the track of tile fugitive, and were but a few hours behind hint oti Friday when he was lost in the underbrush northeast of town. .The Sheriff will keep a sharp lookout for Johnson, and if lie stavs long in this neighborhood he will doubtless be eap'ured. Sheriff Ward, of Davies.4 cMintv, offers $25 reward for Johnson and publishes this description : Age about 22years, height O feet, 2 or 3 inches; very slimlv built; weight 150 pounds; small dark sear on bridge of nose about the size of a grain of corn, and looks like a blood blister, blind in left eye, hot discernible only on close inspection. ,
