“ Naples and Its Surroundings.” Rev. A. W. Freeman's lecture ou this subject at the Presbyterian Church, Friday night, was one of exceeding interest, and was well attended. Mr. Freeman visited in 1879, the scenes he so vividly described, and his audience enjoyed the details of his observations of Mt. Vesuvius and the long buried cities of Herculaneum aud Pompeii. lie gave a succint history of these cities, their inhabitants and their customs, which prove them a people full of energy and ingenuitv, as history shows. That they possess these attributes is shown by their having removed the ruins, particle by Sarticle, aud from other facts rrlatei V Rev. Frecmau of the articles of mechanism and.decorative art found in a state of preservation beneath the ruins of those cities. Here and there were evidences of the terrible eruptions, but the mass of matter had been removed, leaving much of the cities well preserved. Rev. Freeman showed the articles lie brought from that country aud gave their history. The lecture was a historical treat to all present; and the talent of the professional men of this place could well entertain our people this winter by lectures upon such subjects as would greatly interest them. Rev. Freeman has inaugurated the movement, aud it should meet with decided favor. Princeton Fair—Pike’s Premiums. All who attended the fair at Princeton, last week, pronounce it one of the biggest county fairs ever held in the State.

.:r/!rM«¥8AT,. How ara the Trustees ? That busiuess it reviving. The schools are well attended. That Ohio will go Democratic. There is a detective in Petersburg. That the original Uncle Tom is coming. That Marion township had an early convention.! That chicken thieves are “getting in their work.* That county politics are “just being talked about.” That Petersburg’s greatest need is manufactories. That our farmers will be made rich by the corn crop. That Petersburg shenld have a reunion next fall. That Daviess and Knox counties will have big fairs. That the price of wheat will go lower and not higher. The wallnnt and hickory nut crop in Southern Indiana is large. That no honest trustee will object to “showing up his accounts.” That Pike county has some: of the greatest coal holds in the State. The purple haze of autumn is seeu already upon the woods and hiills. That Pike couuty stock shows up haudsomcly at neighboring fairs. T he Democrat gives more reading matter than any paper in the county. That our town is growing faster than any town in Southern Indiana. That our township trustees escaped the slick, schemiug Pollard and his “liberal" Chicago house. That R. B. Pollard, the noted order manipulator, was in town a few weeks ago. What was he after ? The New Jail.

The repairs on the jail building were completed last week, and the work was accepted by the County Commissioners on Wednesday, Sheriff Shrode has removed into tiie rooms refitted for the use of himself and family, and the changes throughout are complete ’and very creditable* From the old, dilapidated building the mechanics have made oue which will no doubt stand the tests of criminal ingenuity and the natural waste and decay for years to come. When the writer visited the jail, Thursday afternoon, ouc of the trio of men arrested at Princeton for burglary, was singiug the words, “A flower from my angel mother’s grave.” Little did ho think of his condition, and the strange unfitness of the words he hummed, in a manner very indifferent ! The inmates of the jaif besides this trio, were George Moore and another insane man. The latter was taken to Indianapolis, Friday morning. The new addition to the jail building is of substantial brick, the room large and airy, with high ceiling. The floor of the room is concrete, and the wall fourteen inches in thickness. This addition is supplied with iron gratings at the windows, and a heavy door at the entrance. In the center of this room are the two iron cells and a corridor furnished by Pauley & Co., St. Louis. The cells are about 6x9 feet, each fitted with bunks for four meu, and the corridor which adjoins the cells is 5x18 feet, containing water sink, vault, etc. The cells and the corridor have both the pad and leverage locks, and on the lock of the main door leading to the corridor is a combination lock which closes the door so that it can not be opened with a key. Anticipating a miduight call for prisoners, the- Sheriff can put on the combination, which closes the key holes, and it could not be opened though the keys were obtained. The Sheriff aud his family are much better situated, and the safe keepiug of law breakers is assured, by the improvements made, the total cost of which were nearly $5,300. Winslow to be Incorporated. Our lively neighbor, Winslow, the capital of Patoka township, will no doubt vote, on the 6th day of October next, to incorporate, as three-fourths of the voters of the place signed the petition presented to the County Commissioners. Winslow is a good shipping point, and in consequence has considerable trade. However, she will sustain a severe loss by the removal of the flouring mill to'Oakland City, over which the citizens are indignant, as they contributed $700 to have the mill built there and think it should remain. Winslow* has a firstclass hotel, good stores, chnrelics, and all else that go to make np a town. The number of inhabitants in the territory to be incorporated is 3415. The New Letter Carrier System. The immediate delivery system of letters, which goes into effect ou October 1st, will be of much convenience. These “delivery stamps” will be 6old at this office, aud by placing oue on a letter it will be delivered by carrier in the following named cities in Indiana : Vincennes, Washington, Anderson, Aurora, Columbus, Crawfordsville, Elkhart, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Goshen, Indianapolis, Jeffersonville, Kokomo, Lafayette, Laporte, Lawrenceburg, Logan sport, Madison, Michigau City, Muncie, New Albany, Peru, Richmond, Seymour, South Bend, Terre Haute aud Valparaiso.

Detective Hugh Haies has been employed by the commissioners of Dubois county to discover the whereabouts of the Beeves, who killed John Gardner and mortally wouuded W. S. Cox, the two officers who were trying to arrest them, last June. Col: is still paralyzed from the waist down, and although his wounds are apparently healing, he is in a critical condition. Some one has declared conceit worse than consumption, aud the comparison is a true oue. Many are the “conceited” who ory down legitimate remedies, and who delude suffering humanity, whose only salvation is the Immediate use of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. __ Notice.—Having moved to Petersburg, all persons indebted to me will please cill and settle with Angelo Hillman at Union or at my offi ce over Barrett Sc Son’s store before Oct. 10th, 1885.

Dye, one of New York’s most skillful physicians, shows that pain is not necessary in childbirth but results lVom causes easily understood and overcome. It clearly proves that any woman may become a mother without suffering any pain whatever. It also tells how to" overcome and prevent morning sickness, swelled limbs, and all other evils attending pregnancy. It is reliable and highly endorsed by physicians everywhere as the wife’s true private companion. Cut this out: it will save you great pain, and possibly yonr life. Send two cent stamp for descriptive circulars, testimonials and confidential letter sent in sealed envelope.

They make much ado about “apes and imitators” when none are in sight.' The proprietors of B. B. B. would say most emphatically that their remedy stands upon its own merit. Should we attempt to imitate, it would not be those who do not understand the modus operandi of that which they offer. Ouh long experience in the profession Precludes such an idea. The held for blood remedies is large and broad, affording ample room for all present aspirants. We do not desire to close the door against others, neither shall it be closed against us. B. B. B. is the quickest remedy, does not contain mineral or vegetable poison, does not imitate, and is in the field as an honorable competitor for public favor, and its success is without a parallel.
