Pike Const j va. J. TV. Richardson. The suits brought by the county to recover the alleged shoi tage iu the" account* of Ex-Treasurer J. TV.' Richard son were compromised on last Saturday by Mr. Riehardsou turning over real estate, notes, etc., to the amouut of $5,000 to the county. The shortage reported by the exports last fall was nearly #10,000 aud to recover this one suit had been brought against J. TV. Richardson alone and another versus Richardson and bondsmen. Judge Keiuhard gave judgement for #.2,969.70 in the first suit, after which a new trial was granted, and the second suit had been scut to Knox on a change of venue. The compromise accepted by the Auditor, and commissioners ends all litigation in these prominent eases. A song was sung at otic of our churches on last Sunday morning which brings to the heart strong feelj itigs of emotion. To the writer the song, “Nearer Mv God to Thee,’" conveys the memory of a scene never to be forgotten—a scene full of pathos and glory. One of the brightest blossoms of spring had fallen, plucked from the human garden plat, aud near the casket, in which lay tiie dead flower, arrayed in white -emblematic of the purity of her short life—gathered the relatives and friends. The joyous afternoon sun peering through the trees in the yard wrapped the surroundiugs iu its golden mantle, and looked smilingly on the group of sorrowing relatives aud sympathizing friends. At this moment the words. “Nearer My God to Thee,” fell upon the ear in tones low aud mclodious,as the spirit of youth journeyed to a brighter realm. Not a dry eye witnessed this impressive scene. Last Sunday was Children’s Day, and it was observed at the M. E. Church by very interesting and appropriate exercises. The church was tastefully decorated. In the evening the little folks recited biblical verses, and the jugs containing many nickels collected by them were broken aud prizes given to the energetic little ones. The evening was one of decided pleasure. The amoouts found in the jugs were as follows: Minnie Townsend, #1.04; Nellie Carleton. 50 cts; Lassie Knight, #1.44: Joe Woods, #1.43; Dee McGowan, #2.20; Guy Frank, 9S cts; Kobt. Patterson, #1.09: Carrie Perrier, #2.36; Lollie Smith, $2.22; Annie Reed, #1.35. Some kind and thoughtful editor speaks a word for the girls, saying; “The young men who are disposed to pass on the other side of the street, and in other unfeeling ways dodge iee cream saloous when out walking with their dear girls, should remember that during the long winter these same girls cheerfully and uiieoiuplaingly furnished lights and fuel for their comfort, and that the little cream, strawberries and similar necessities they are now willing to accept are hut an inadequate return, at the best, for the last winter’s favors.” 8

l)r. I. IS. Wilson lias a Night Blooming Cerous, six years old, in alcohol. He received it from a gentleman at North Vernon: and at the time when it was in full liloom was as large as Henry Gordon's hat (he wears a No. 8) and h as a liower of superb loveliness. The doctor will allow the flower to remain in the liquid till it entirely disappears, and it is now “sloughing" rapidly, and in a few years the contents Of the jar will be a pcrftime of rare elegauee. Petersburg is to have mills of which she can truthfully boast. Frank Bros, ordered a complete out tit for a roller mill last Saturday, and it will be received this week. The machinery will be placed iu position as soon as possible. The capacity of the mill will then be from 125 to 1#0 barrels per day. With this large capacity, added to the other mills, the local trade can well be supplied and a large amount of flour shipped to other markets. . w| . ---<— w Drs.

A. H. Taylor was appointed County attorney. In the settlement with Ex-Treasurer Chappell the Commissioners had quite a wrangle with the ex-official, which was finally compromised. N. W. Thornton accepted the $30,000 bonds at par. The Odd Fellows of- Petersburg and vicinity made extensive preparations for the suitable observance of their Decoration Day, the 15tli inst., but unfortunately the heavy rain and wind storm which prevailed throughout the day prevented the carrying out of the program.
