A Pike Contj Episode. The orange suu set was waning low as they started out for a walk in the quiet and somewhat obscure twilight. George and Maria were looking forward to an “eugligeineut.” For years her father had furnished fuel for the flames of love, often when coal was ton ceuts per bushel, and George had reciprocated during ice cream season. This couple wandered along through labyrinths of frees and mazes of felicity, Maria’s delicate lace-covered arm intertwining George’s seersucker-cov-ered ditto. But ho was no “sucker he had traveled, and was educated. Maria was an accomplished musician, but her education was limited otherwise. George dually said, in a tone full of saccharine accents, as lie turned his big brown eyes toward her upturned sky-blue optics. “Maria, I have a present for you.” lu a syrnphonious soprano voice, and with a kind of I-hope-it-is-soinethiug-nice smile, she said: “G-e-o-r-g-e.” “Yes,” said he, “I wish to give you a Cestus— “Oh, won’t that be nice,” broke iu Maria—“take this girdle of Venus,” continued George, “and remember that on it Here is everything represented that could awaken love.” “Sii, said Maria, “I do not need a girdle— I wear a Mother Hubbard VT - M.

Townsend was next introduced \yho delivered on able, oration. It was a departure from the ordinary address on such occasions, and was replete with historical reminiscences throughout. It was a fine effort and duly appreciated by a large aud intelligent audience. Mr. Towusend is a fluent speaker and one among the best orators in Southern Indiana.” The Nation’s Fourth of July bill for fire-works is placed at $6,000,000. This year the biggest fire caused by the celebration took place at Stoughton, Wis., the loss beingbetween $o00000 and $1,000,000. The most serious accident occurred at Albany, through a premature explosion; the most shoking was the death of Miss Ilincks, of Boston, whose clothes caught fire from a burning squib. In New York the city’s treasury was enriched by $570 for permits, aud $124,000 worth of property destroyed by fires arising from the celebration.

_ These uotes, regarding our celebration and our people, we clip from the Princeton Clarion: Gibson county was well represented. Petersburg people are very hospitable. They do say the drum major crushed a heart. The Princeton people had a good time, and the day was one of pleasure to all. Sam Coonrod, the boss shake-up builder of Pike, made a small fortune off the thirsty crowd. Edwin Smith, formerly of this place, read the declaration. Ed has established himself in the law business there. Will Uornbrook is doing a good business in the drug line at Petersburg. He and his partner have a handsome store. There were a number in the crowd who hail not seen Petersburg for several years, and they spoke in unanimous praise of the woude. fully improved appearance of the town. The baud boys surrendered themselves to the tender care of a uumber of young ladies at the noon hour. They had prepared a fine dinner for the boys and entertained them right royally. The Priuccten band cards the Princeton papers iu the following grateful manner: Princeton, Ind., July 7th. The members of the Princeton Cornet and Reed baud desire to extend their hearty thanks to the citizens of Petersburg in general for their kiud treatment while in their city, and especially to tlie ladies who gave us such an excellent dinner at the fair grounds, assuring them that it will long be remembered by us all. C. W. Benton, Leader. Scrofula. Are any members of your family thus afflicted ? Have they scrofulous swellings of the glands! Have they any scrofulous sores or ulcers! It so, and it should be neglected, the peculiar taint, or poicon, may deposit itself in the substance of the lungs, producing consumption. Look well to the condition of your family, and if thus afflicted, give the proper remedy without delay. Buy that which makes absolute cures in the shortest space of time. The unerring of public opinion points to B. B. B. as the most wonderful remedy for scrofula ever known. Yon need not take our word—you need not know our names—merit is all you seek.
