probable, and great interest is manifest in it. The road will give us increased shipping facilities, which will bo of a decided advantage to merchants aud farmers. Dubois county is said to be enthusiastic for the road. Spring has come! The birds are singing in the trees, vegetation is rapidly growing, sweet odors are wafted on the breeze from budding flowers and while the farmers' liaud is tickling the soil the seersucker is abroad In the land. (Spriug poets can improve on this, if they so wish.) The convention of the Pike county Sabbath School Union, on Tuesday aud Wednesday, though not very largely attended, was full of interest and enjoyment, as the pregram was one of excellence. We regret that our paper goes to press too early to frilly report the convention. The unanimous nomination of Hon. John II. O'Neall for Congress at •Washington last Thursday was a merited recognition of a sound Democrat, an able man, a true citizen, and a man of the people. Never before has a nomination for Congress met with such universal approval. Hurrah for O'Neall! Capt. A. II. Alexander gave us a recipe the other day, which he says is infallible, for cleaning potato patches of that varacious pest known as the potato bug. He says ho had a potato patch that was literally covered with the little pests, into which ho turned a sow and pigs. The next morning there was hot a bug to be seen! The Ella Miller company, who were here in April, have gone to Tell City, this State, where they will speud the summer, giving two performances a week. Tell City is on the Ohio, and steamboat excursions will bo run from the towus near by, thus making their expeuses, during this the usually idle season with this class of people. The pension business seems to be booming under this Democratic administration. Esquire John M. White informs us that on the first day of last January he had 41 pension claims on file. Eighteen of them have since boeu allowed, and lie now has 104 tiled. More pensions have been allowed ic the last year than in the same ieugih of time for the past decade. The Fairfield, 111., Press says: As the Air-Lino is to be sold under foreclosure in June, a number of our citizens who have queried as to the affect tills sale will have on their claims, and other similar indebtedness will be first paid out of the proceeds of the sale. Hence our farmer creditors are frilly safe, however badly the holders of the second mortgage .bonds 6hall fare. An Indiana man effected a smart stragetical combination against the potato bugs. Ho plauted a grain of corn in each hill of potatoes, ^tye corn came up before the potatoes, which of course, cheated these little pests iuto the belief that it was a cornfield, aud they never went near the potatoes until it was to late to do any damage. His erop of the esculent was, therefore, the envy of his neighbors. Valentino Stillabowcr, a fish cnlturist, of Nineveh township, Bartholomew county, had the misfortune during the heavy rains of last week to lose about four-fifths of his German carp, about 50,000 in all, by the bauks of the pond giving away. The fish, or the most of them will find their way to White river and its tributaries, and at no distant day German carp will be plenty in all of our streams, ponds and bayous. Last year a worm appeared on the oak trees in Southern Indiana and in some localities was very destructive. They have again made their appearance this year and lit is feared will totally destroy the oak timber. The worm is described as resembling the caterpillar. They are. so thiek on the trees in some places that they can be heard dropping on the leaves and in the woods wjiere the trees are thick the noise sounds like the patter of rain. Thejjiatter s hould be investigated by the horticulturists and en* tomologists.

i he tanners, in this section ot the country, have been busily engaged in com planting. There never was so favorable a season us this for farm work. The growingwheat looks and stands well, and should it escape the fly and other injuries incident to it, from now until it matures, an exceedingly bountiful yield will he had in this country. Wheat will be lower in all the markets of the Union after the present crop of the country has been harvested than it has been for years. The Chicago price ciiirreut says it will sell at sixty cents. This will make cheap flour, cheap living and doubtless cheap labor, regardless of the many strikes our country is now passing through.

Methcsic and Tom Robertson were chosen, in the order named. -Jrho South Bend Times says: The general sentiment of the Democratic press of this State is unmistakable in favor of deferring the holding of the Democratic State Convention until after the adjournment of Congress Very substantial reasons may be given in support of this proposition.

Then we shall all work for the success of the tieket, and victory is assured.

About Heary-Weight Babies* Mrs. Ida A. Harper in the Terre Haute Mail has this to say of people who are always boasting in the papers about the weight of their newly arrived babies: “Why is it that parents announce the birth of a child they always mention the weight? Is it considered a credit to the father, the mother or the intaut ? This is particularly the case with young married people. Parents of age and experience know that the care and anxiety and labor of raising a baby are not proportioned to the number of pounds it Weighs. Six pounds of baby represents just as many nights of floor walking as ten pounds and an eight pound baby can hold just as much colic as a twelve pounder. In fact when you come to weigh little incidentals like these you will have to throw away the steelyard and bring out the hay scales.” Notice to Relatives and Friends of Deceased Soldiers. Friends of deceased soldiers, intercd in the cemeteries in the vicinity of Petersburg, are requested to mark the graves of such soldiers with a small flag, on Sunday evening or Monday morning, next) so that the committees on decoration may be able to distinguish them.

Notice to County, City and Town ■4 Boards of Health. Office of Indiana State Board ) of Hialth, Indianapolis, May 1, ’86.1 ASIATIC Cholera is prevailing In Italy. France, Spain anti Japan. The history of this disease Is, that whenever It has made Its appearance tn Europe sooner or later It found Its way to this country, and already one or two suspicious cases have been reported In the United States. The Indiana State Board of Health feeling that there is greater danger of Us extension to onr .shore* this year than last, and comprehending tho distraction of human lire that a visitation of this pestilence would cause, recognize the necessity of placing the State in snch a sauitary condition that if Cholera comes it will find no soli within our borders to propagate Its germs. By maintaining good sauitary conditions throughout the State the prevalence of other diseases peculiar to warm weather will be lessened. It Is therefore directed that ail County. City, and Town Beards of Health observe the followicg: 1st. Make a thorough sauitary survey of t heir respective jurisdictions. 2d. See that alt accumulations of tilth, decaying animal and vegetable matter in roads, streets,alleys, door yards, vacant and unoccupied lots ora removed. 3d. That all gutters and drains are kept open and clean, and that they are frequently flushed, and disinfected whenever Dmcticobte. 4th. That all privy vaults, sinks, cesspools, foul ci terns, stagnant ponds, hog pens, foul stables, unwholesome cellars, manure piles, dirty yards or lota, foul sewers, and all other {.laces suspected of being injurious to public lealth, are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and purified. * 5th. That all rank vegetation along streets, sidewalks and gutters of Cities and towns, is eut and destroyed, and not left to rot. Sth. Attention Is directedtothe Importance of compelling the proprietors of steamboats and those In control of railway pro.ierty, owners of hotels and boarding houses, landlords, school officials, sheriffs, city councils, town trustees, and others In control of property to thoroughly clean and disinfect their premises, and prepare suitable water-closets for their natron*, employes, tenants and scholars, und frequently disinfect them. 7th.

The water supply of the State should receive especial attention, and be carefhllv proteoted from pollution by seepage from foul places and surface washings.
