The Board of Commissioners resumed their work Monday, and have been expediting business as ouly a hard-working, Democratic board can. They will probably adjourn to-day. An athletic club will be formed by onr active young men, and a meeting will bo held to-night to orgauizc. It is a proper move, and yon can now look out for the development of athletes. The Vincennes Commercial is in error about our celebration, when it says wo have abandoned it. We are booming it, and will no doubt have the largest gathering that eter assembled here on the natiou’s natal day. tVe are still selling best prints at 5 cents per yard ; beautiful lawns, 12 yards for 50 cents; ladies’ leather belts, 5 cents each; ladies’ canvass belts, J10 cents eacli; ladies' web slippers, 25 cents a pair, at the Mammoth store.

Petersburg needs manufactories, and we think it would bo a good plan for a Citizens’ Committee to organize for the purpose of corresponding with capitalists and pointing out to them the manifold advantanges ot our town and county. This is the first step. » " j Pensions have been granted toJeremiah Mason, Thos. Tislow, the beirsof Isaac A. Ridge, and to Leona/d MeReynolds.

The committee in charge of the celebration at Otwell, July 3d, have Scoured E. A. Ely, Esq., and Itevs. G. C. Cooper, J. Godwin and Joe Stubblefield, as orators, and have employed the lluutingbnrg cornet band and the Portcasville string band to furnish music on that occasion. ; All the Sabbath schools in the county, and some from neighboring counties will bo represented at the celebration here on the 3d of July. The banner to be given to the best Sabbath school choir will be a new and attractive feature, and the contest is sure to be novel and interesting.

The experiment is a success, and no doubt some of our enterprising citizens will take hold of this business, and establish works at Blackburn which will advance the interests of our county, and add to the material wealth of our town. John Breeden, who gave three cheers for Bothell at tire Democratic convention, says lie did it for a joke; that he has no idea of supporting Bothell, nor never had, but will do all lie can to secure the elect'on of Edwards; and as John is a Democrat from away back he will support the entire ticket and work for it as he has done in years past. The 110th anniveisary of independence will be well celebrated this year. The fourth coming on Sunday, some places will have the usual noise and racket on that day ; while the American buzzard will whoop tilings up both on Saturday and Monday at different places and the boys will begin “painting things red” on Saturday and continue until an early hour Tuesday morning.

It is said to he regret ted that the Princeton band can not be divided up into about liaif a dozen organizations sopccially along about t he time when the fourth of July eagle begins to scream. The managers for the celebrations at Petersburg, Vincennes and Sullivan, each wanted to engage our band, but as they could HU but one engagement, our sensible neighbors will be compelled to seek music elsewhere.—Princeton Clarion. James B. Barker is the lucky possessor of a spring on his fjp-m, which is thought to contain all the healthgiving properties of celebrated chalybeate springs. The water is pleasant to the taste, and its invigorating qualities are unquestioned. Those who drink at this tountain of youth, so to speak, arc loud in its praises, and congratulate Mr. Barker on his good fortune, f( r it is truly a treat to drink of its waters. Mr. Barker has made no scientific examination of the spring, but has been advised to do so, and then it can be known what wonderful properties are contained therein. Telephones have passed out of use as rapidly as they came in. The telegraph is uow used, and while the cost Is increased, it is more satisfactory than the telephone servico was the last few months the instruments were in use.

Dr. Car loton has been one of the most successful practitioners iu the county, and this indictment was for an alleged violation of what is known as the medical law, “an act regulating the practice of medicine and surgery, and obsteteries, providing for the issuing of licenses to practice,” &e. The docket has many defaults thereon this term, the largest of which now entered, is Ansel Patterson vs. Gus. and Mary Ilisgen for $1,179.85; sale ordered. A large number of Dubois county people came over to court yesterday, to be present in a case brought here on a change of venue. It is an attachment suit (John Bradcnstein et al. vs. S. G. Lemmon), and was brought to secure the payment of a note given by said Lemmon when he was a minor.

CHOP NOTES. The recent rains damaged the clover in some parts of the county. Lee Minnier has a field of wheat which he tl inks will make 40 bushels to tho aero. Owing to the abundance of rain last week, it is safe to presume that the farmers have about completed setting out their tobacco. One dollar and a half per day was determined on by some farmers as the best they could pay for harvest hands this year. A-large number of hands wete secured at that price. The farmers are now in the midst of a big wheat harvest. The crop is reported to be splendid, but fears arc entertained that the continued rains will damage it some by causing it to mould in the shock. Pitney item in Boonyillc Enquirer: Our farmers who liavo not sold their tobacco are prising the same and shipping by way of the Straight Line railroad to the Evansville markets, realizing from one to three dollars per hundred. One crop, that of Edward Christmas, sold for five -dollars per hundred. Tho good rains last week gave vegetation a good start. It is thought that the hay crop will fall short of an average. Oats have improved very much in the last ten days. Corn is grow ing nicely and wheat was never more promising, but may he damaged somewhat in the shock. Taken all in all this promises to be a profitable crop year to Pike county. Eds. to be town the ei Officers. smocrat :—Good officers are inmended an.d such arc our trustees.

Alex Sorer is the best base runner among our local ball players. Al. Brazleton has not gotten a “bite” this season—except mosquito bites. The Petersburg and Jasper base ball clubs will cfbss bats at Jasper next Sunday. Our boys arc talking of organizing a base ball club to defeat Washington’s crack club. Will Reuss lias developed ;into a crack base ball pitcher, and has the curves down to a fine point. The Iluntingburg Argus suggests the removal of the county seat from Jasper, becauseof the couuty capital’s lack of a live base ball club. Henry Rickrich, John While and Elias Osborne will contest for the fisherman’s championship belt. It goes to the man telling the biggest fish story. A game of ball was played here Sunday between two Petersburg nines, and was stopped by rain in the fourth inning wheu the score stood one to two.. It was a good game. The canal at Clark's station is a popular resort for timrods. Almost every day you will find a fishing party there. East Friday a party, headed by E. P. Richardson (and a dray load of “grub”), Went there and spent the day. The fish were frightened out of the water by the noisy crowd, and three car loads were scooped in, brought to town and every inhabitant supplied w ith fish. RAILROAD NEWS.

oonctuctor w eissmg ©t the i',. & i. is one of the most clever men in the business, and is deservedly popular. The gross earnings of the L., E. & St. L. (Air-Lino) railroad was $49,962 greater during the first five months of this year than for the corresponding five months of last year. The sale of the Air Line to the principal bondholders puts that property in the hands of a company who have the ability to fit it up in first class order, and it is said they will proceed to do so. W. W. Peabody, President of the O. & M., has given the people of Washington, until July 1st to decide whether they will accept the railroads offer in regard to moving the shops to that place. If they agree, the shops now located at Cochrane, Seymour and Vincennes, will go to Washington. Mr. Peabody states in his ultimatum that company will not wait longer than the time named. the v. & o. K. k. A tax of $8,741 was voted in Jefferson township, this county, in aid of the proposed Vincennes aud Ohio River Railroad, on Monday, April 23, 1883, and a demand for a levy of the tax will be made at an early day. The Knox County Commissioners last week levied a tax of $90,000 and some odd dollars in Vincennes township, and $18,000 in Ilarrisomtown. ship in aid of the above road. The Vincennes News says it is probable that work will begin on the road as early as next month.

Two Years in the Pen. Thomas Blair, alias 'Williams, who stole a medicine case from Dr. Dukate, of Wheatland, was last week sentenced to two years in the penitentiary by the Knox Circuit Court. The Vincennes Commercial says: •‘Blair is about fifty-four years of age and came hero form Louisville, "ivy lie was formerly a surgeon in the British Army, and while serving in that capacity fell into habit of eating opium, llis uncontrolablc appetite for the drug led him to commit the theft. After receiving sentence he told Deputy Sheriff Shiveley that he would have taken a one years term without a murmur as he wanted to break himself of the accursed opium habit, which had been his ruin.” Blair, or Williams as he was known here, was arrested at this place, April 39, and taken to Knox county. He was a painter, and worked at his trade here a few weeks before his arrest. The “Bolt” of Yineennes Pnpils. The. graduates of the Vinccuncs high school picked up their books, essavs, orations, etc. recently and left school when they discovered that a colored girl was to be permitted to participate in the graduating exercises. Miss Brewer, the colored pupil graduated alone last Friday before a large audicuee, and was the recipient of much attention. But regarding the “bolt” of the pupils, the Viucennes News says: “There seems to be an issue of fact between Prof. Taylor and the High school graduates. Prof. Taylor eUirns that the ‘strike’ was occasioned by the presence of Miss Grace Brewer, colored, in the graduating class, Jbut the ‘strikers’ themselves insist that they were outraged by the distribution of the honors, which went to a lady who had not taken tho Bill course under the rules.” For Sale.
