Petersburg will soon be oiie of the handsomest towns in all Indiana* ouc mu help being impressed with Its handsome buildings- beautiful location, and still moro beautiful surround i tig country. The grading which the steels are undergoing makes them a little unpleasant ju»i now, but erelong there will bo beautiful st reets and walks to the delight of resident and visitor. If any one wants to locate where he can do a good business, have a pleasant home, aud also have the blessings of good schools, good churches, and the most excellent citizens for neighbors, let him come to this towu. 1 his is a desirable place to live, and the health of the place is severe on grave-yards and undertakers. Coino to Petersburg, invest your capital aud hustle. Do not hide your energy under a bushel, i but get out ami rush, For tnauv men are already under a bushel and mossed over iu this world of busiuess cuergy. _ ' Marshal Gullick arrested Johu Hodges here last Saturday afternoon. He was wanted for having slolen a horse from Daniel McAllister,4 of Decker township, Kuos county.

A recent sensation at \ incennes, I ml., and Tiffin, O., confirms the adage lliat, “Not all that glitters is gold."j l\ W. Maloney met a young woman »t Vincennes. She went in the host | of society, wore diWiunds ami fine , •lolhing, and was the tlinline of the j •ocicly circles. She was reported to l»c the heiress of tlfty-tlionsand tlolars. Maloney wooed her, proposed, ind was accepted, lie went to Tiffin •event ly to marry her, hut returned iviihout a hrhle. The girl proved to jc anything hut virtuous, and Maloicy is glad to have esca|ietl the hell j ulo which he came near entering. It, * ould l>e right, however, if every man ; irlio marries for wealth alone should ict just what MaloneV’ came so near -apturlug. iieport comes from various parts of he country to the elTect that the dc■elo|>eiuent of oil and gas has greatly lamagcd the coal mining interests of he country. Wo do not know to just vliat extent tiiis is true, but it evlleiitlv is not without foundation, fins ga« ami oil will lake the place of 'oal as fuel in many of the coal con* liming cities and towns. The dam* tgu > auiiot he wide-spread, but it will ns sufficient to take the labor from uany^NHiple who must earn their tread by the sweat of the face. That j i blessing to Hie many is a curse tot i few, is too often the case. Men have been working a swindle ii the Evansville hay markets. They • vent to the cutinlrv, habitually purbased hay from (ha farmers, weighed t, ami when they went into town, beoru they unloaded the hay, they hanged it to another wagon hv reuading, so that when tin; empty tvs;oii was again weighed, there were oine two or three hundred.pounds of vagoti more than was weighed at irst. This of course diiiiiuislies the vcighl of the farmer's hay. Chief of ‘oticcXewitt says he will |ien a few if these rascals if lie can fasten the rime upon the proper ones. Last Friday the sou of John Griffey, eight years old, was terribly bitcu l»v a large dog belonging to Johu \V. 1 “otter, who laves near Greens>urg. The child had been playing villi the dog, but had quit, aud was tear a relative, when the brute sprang d him, bit his ear aud forehead, aud lieu factually tore a large piece of Icsli from Ihe old Id's thigh. A maditonc belonging there was applied, >ut it did uot adhere, so the friends cut for one to Clcves, O., which rcadIv adhered. The largest half ol wheat was harvested in this part of tkecotiutry last s-eek. The crop is good, aud is large, rite bugs seem to have done no particular harm and the quality of the 'rain is good enough to compare with diat of other years. Of other grains, Mid peaches, apples and small fruits, tud potatoes, and every thing growu in this couulry, there will be au abuulance aud to spare. Evansville's old Board of Police Commissioners have filed suilagainsi the present Board ef Police Commitdoners, whom they charge with usurping office.

Services will be held in the Catholic church at this place next Sunday at 10 o’clock a. m.. the Rev. Chas. A. Strieker, of Welles, Warrick couuhv, officiating. All members, and others disposed to, are invited to attend. “St. Mary’s iu The Woods,” an orphan home destroyed by fire, near Terre Uaute, some time last Fall, will be re-built this year, thecoutract having already been let to a contractor named Martin, o( Indianapolis. Harry Gates and Mike McGee, both of Brazil, engaged in a prize fight near the Parke county, Iml., line, Saturday. They fought twenty-seven rounds in the presence of three hundred people. Gates won the fight. There is not another city in India na that keeps itself in such a state of bad prejudice as docs Evansville. The citizens and council cannot agree, and they cannot agree with one another. “A house divided against itself cannot stand,” neither eaa cities. Vincennes is to have a stock sale l*cgitming the first Saturday in July, to continue from day to day till all the stock is sold. Anything in the shape of stock that is for sale will lie offered to the public in case the owuer dec sires to dispose of it. Miss Minnie Traylor, formerly a resident of this place, was married' at Monroe City, on last Sunday, to Mr. Linden Lusswcll, Druggist, of Monroe City, the Rev .A. II. Kelso, officiating. They were married in the church alter evening service. The re-building of St. Viuccnt orphan Home is to commence immediately by liidinapofis parties. The home people at Vincennes are given the preference iu (lie sub-contracts on the stone, brick, and wood works. These arc let out separately at large figures. Who said Petersburg would not celebrate the Fourth ot July? We did, and thought we were right; but we are glad that wo were mistaken. Maybe such hints as heretofore ap-1 peared iu the paper was a means ot moving the patriots of (lie community. I fso. it is well.

The Sunday school bringing I lie largest delegation to the Sunday School Celebration at Otwell on the Fourth of July is to be presented a handsome silk banner. !<et us know what school gets it. The various schools in attendance will turuish the music for the occasion. Danville is still wrought up over hydrophobia apprehensions. Upwards of sixty dogs and a dozen rats have been killed. Notwithstanding the use of tuad-stonos is derided by physicians, people bitten by dogs roniiiiuo to apply them. Several dogs supposed to he rabid are still at large. Petersburg will celebrate, Washington will celebrate and so will Vinrennes, and Oakland City, and Otwell, :tml Princeton, and Jasper, and limitiugburg, and Winslow, and Monroe ($ty. and Hazleton. They will all L-elebrate. Who said Ihe jieoplooare not patriotic? Truly the eagle will scream. State Su|ierin(cndent LaFollott was arrested and released last ween for alledgcd assault and battery. It appears that a cousin of Ids had trouble with her husband, and Mr. LaFollett, in attempting to quiet matters, wasscftised of an attempt of assaulting Iter husband who bad the superintendent arrested. - An attempt will be made to organize a school among the members .of Ihe catholic church at this place. I'lic school is expected to bold three months the coming winter. A teacher of ability is to be employed. All persons, regardless of church-aflilia-lions, will be solicited to assist in the enterprise. July 4th at Petersburg. Morgan Post, G. A.

Agricultural. A (lead limb oil a tree should never be allowed to remain. Cattlc.often suffer from confinement especially in hot weather. Every acre of laud lint occupied by some other crop should be seeded to grass. The American Grocer says the canning industry is overdone, and that canned goods aro cheaper than the fresh articles. Keep the burdocks down. They delight in plenty of food, tuid a plant of burdock will rob the'soil for yards arouud it. Cattle are so cheap now that stockbreeders arc selling of: their shorthorns auiT Jerseys, resolved to raise trotting horses. Strawberry hills should bo placed far enough apart to admit the cultivation with the hoe bet ween the hills, that is, from fourteen to wenty inches. Professor Robertson, of Guelph, Ontario, states that if a cow m full milk is left without salt for a week, the shrinkage at the pail will be 14 per cent. A very little fine, imuitirc or even mold from the wood scattered over grass laud and harrowed iu the spring, will make an aHtouishiug increase in grow tin If whatever is given to a young calf be made as warm as new milk, lunch of the dauger of scouring will be avoided. Gold milk to a young calf is very difficult of digest ion, as is uncooked meal of any kind, l>o not pul much manure about young.trees. If the ground is reasonably rijli none is needed the first season, ami for several yeans alter ibis potash will auswer every requirement especially if the, soil is simdy. Quick ashes are good. At this season of the year grape culture should have some a tteution. Expose the leaf of the viuc, mol the fruit, to the aun. Those large sprouts that seem to be of no purpo se should be cutoff with a knife,.me broken off. Too many grapes lefl on a small vine will uot do so well. Tlilu them out wheu such is the case.
