qulrer of lot* date, says: “Six month* ago Indianapolis and vicinity won flooded with counterfeit tau-doi-lar Treasury notes, but a timely description of the fraudulent issue frightened the scoundrels, away before the field had been covered, and the operations of the Indiana contingent were largely confined to miuor towns and villages in the State. While it was not a dangerous counterfeit in well informed commercial circles the bill was calculated to deceive in small towns, and thecounterfeiters reaped a feir harvest Indiana was the chosen market, and the “stuff” was distributed in 15,000 packages at Ft Wa> ne, Lafeyette, Terre Haute, Shelbyville and this city, from where it was scattered in smaller amounts to the circulators. The Secret Service officers were put to great trouble and expense in tracing the manufecturo to Dayton, and not until last week did Mgjor Caster finally close upon Dayton as the principal point Meanwhile, iu this State, a number of the smaller fry were gathered in, and the arrests aud convictions of recent date include George and Morton Howery, of Shelbyville; Gilbert and Frank Young, also of the same county ; Alouzo Barrett, who was followed to Terre Haute and arrested, and William Rheiuheimer, who was found at Richmond, and is now awaiting trial. There were some other arrests of minor importance, all going to show that there was a regular system under which tbe“shovers” worked, and that they were coveriug a wide territory.** The school books unprovided tor by the new law are history, physiology, grammar and speller. We have been using the Eclectric history, aud paying for it #125; Cutter’s physiology, at #1.25; Harvey’s grammar, at 75 cents; and McGuffey's speller, 20. These same books are furnished by the same house in Union county, a county not as large as Pike, at the following prices: History 84c, physiology 60c, grammar 54c, aud spellers at 15 cents. The board of education of Pike county ought to take this matter in haud aud see to it that our people are no longer robbed. Uuless they will put the price of these books down we should drop them and get some other. A part ot them are about the poorest text book published on the subject. The board of education will be asked to consider this matter aud the people should see their trustee and see that they look to their interests. “Godet’s Lady’s Boox” for August is Just out. “An especially good uumber” ts the verdict giveu by the tair sex. The frontispiece Is a good picture ot “A Summer Fete;” “A Strange Adventure,” by H. H. D., which is given in full, is equal iu site i ^ftd merit to one of the seaside novels. A piece of music, “The Bridal Song,” will find many admirers. Beautiful colored and black fesbion and work plates complete the illustrations. The two serials, “A Model American Girl” (David Lowry), and “A Woman’s Way" (Elsie Snow) iucrease in interest. “My Money” (Dinah) is a bright little story; while “Mother iluldah’s Story" (Elno Parr) is full of pathos. The “Beautiful Home Club” (Emma J. Gray) proves of great interest ; this month a bedroom is talked

about. A good article upon J> lonculture, several good poems, an article upon delicacies for the sick aud various minor topics complete ^this good number of a favorite magaxiue. Sunday was the day advertised for the colored camp meeting at this place. The big crowd failed to materialise owing to the fact that similar meetings were held at Washington and Pnncetou and no excursion trains were run to accommodate those who wanted to attend. The absence of the colered people was notably conspicuous, as the crowd was uearly all white, being dotted here and there with a black face. ltev. lleury Parker, the blind evangelist from Wyoming, O., preached an excellent sermon In the afternoou. At night, Presidiug Elder T. E. Williamson, of New Albauy, preached a good sermon at the M. E. church to a large audience. The meeting seems to have been a! success spiritually, if not financially.' A certain youug man of this place made himself the leading character in a laughable farce last Thursday night He saturated the lining meinbraue of his stomach with an exuberance of bad whisky, and went to one of the hotels to go to tied. He proceeded to disrobe in the hotel office. He pot his socks iu his shoes, aud in a druuken, maudlin voice informed the spectators that there were “toad frogs iu his shoes.” He put his shoes, coat and vest in the show case, bong his necktie in a dust-pan, his collar on top of the door, his breeches on a picture frame, his hat on a cuspidore and then mirthfully executed a song and dance attired in his drawers and undershirt. A pleasant dance Iras given at Fleming’s opera house Wednesday night of last week. From ten until one o’clock the youth and beauty of Petersburg tripped to the delightful music of the Big Four Orchestra. Refreshments were served at twelve o’clock. The following ladies from a distance attended: Miss Alma Bennett, of Booovilie; Miss Delaney, of TOxaa; Misses Lee and Dodds, of Ijn-j diauapoUa; Miss Carrie Benjamin, of Cincinnatti. In the wheat has bees a disease known as “Bunt” or “Stinking smut,” rarely found in America, bat is mot uncommon in England. It does not spread in the field, bat germs producing it adhere to the grain, aud are thus sown with the seed. The seed wheat may be freed from spores by being soaked ia a solution of blue vitriol—sulphate of copper—for thirtysix hoars; four ounces ot talphate to one gallon of water.

The taking of the testimony in the above case wee brought to a close, Tuesday afternoon. A great many witnesses were examined. The evidence is such that, at this writing, no one can predict the result with any certainty. It will bo remembered that B. B. Earner filed suit in the Pike Circuit Court, March term, tor divorce from his wife, Mrs. Adie Barker, alledging marriage infidelity with one Grantum Beck, and that Mrs. Barker took a change to Daviess county where the case is still pending. Sometime after this, threats against Barker’s life culminated in Beck’s death by shooting. The trial of Barker was set for Tuesday, July 16, at which time it commenced, or at least its preparation. The trial opened property on Wednesday, July 17, since wheu the most active and determined efibrta have been made both by the prosecutiou and defense. The defense put in a plea of insanity, which the prosecution met, so far as possible, with rebuttal evidence. The argument commenced yesterday morning. It is limited to twelve houre—six for the prosecution and six for the defense—after which the case went into the hands of the jury. The prosecution is represented by J. E. McCullough, of Indianapolis; Prosecutor Brets, of Jasper; and Deputy Prosecutor Smith, ot Petersburg. The defense is represented by J. W. Wilson, liichardsou & Taylor, E. A. Ely, and Posey & Thurman, all of Petersburg;and W. F. Townsend, of Vincennes. The jury will, in all probability, not have reached a decision when this paper is read. The jurymen are: Geo. W. Brentou, Jno. M. Davis, Francis M. Kato, Jackson Offill, Jas. R. Brentou, Geo. 8. L. Griffith, Jas. T. Beatty, Z. T. Dearing, Scott Davis, Henry Burnett, Jas. W. McCord, W. L. Graham. Every inch of groundin the case has been contested on both sides. An Intelligent juiy will not be likely to reach a wrong conclusion. The speeches in the case can not have the attention of this article, for not all have been made at t%is writiug. The statements made by A. H. Taylor for the defense, and J. E. McCullough for the prosecutioiifwere •aid to be good efforts. All through the trial, the greatest iuleres* has been manifested, aud the court room has been constantly crowded with men and women eager to grasp the thought in every sentence uttered by the witnesses. It has been one of the largest trials, and most unfortunate affairs, that Pike county has ever known. / An Aged C’ttisen. ' Near Chrisuey, Spencer county, lives Ben jamiu Moore, who is perhaps the oldest man in the State. He is 100 years old, and voted for every Democratic candidate for President since Thomas Jefferson was a candidate iu 1804. He was born in Mary county, North Carolina, December 25, 1781, the year in which so many important events of the Revolutionary war occurred. The scenes of the war had shifted to the South in this year, and the Caroliuas, especially, were the battle grounds ot the contending armies. It was in tho year that Benedict Arnold, the Judas of the Revolution, made a raid through Virginia, plundering and layiug waste the country on the Chesapeake Bay and James river, and burning the public hnililinn of jSinhmondthe Conti

nental ArmvAucreased sureiat thousand under Gen. Lafayette; Cornwallis and his a^my captured by the forces uuder Geu. Washington, aud all the principal forts of the South regained by the American armies; also, the “Articles of Confederation,” adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777, were ratified by all the States. So it will be seeu that this venerable pioneer was born in one of the most important periods of this government —at the very moment wheu it was struggling for its existence—and is consequently older than his government, the same age as the Confederation of the thirteen States, and six years older than the Constitution of his country. He was in his seventh year when the first President of the United States was Inaugurated, and has a distant recollection of the older citlaens meeting and talking about the inauguration of Gen. Washington, lie also has a vivid recollection of the trouble with the Indians, the opposition of the people of Massachesetts and other States to the tax laws of the early Congress, and of the various embarrassments of Tories and other opponents of the new Government, which *at times came near proviug hazardous, and his account of these matters is as interesting as the pen pictures of the historian. Hcuatr Stews. Mrs. Florence Heart has been sick. Mrs. Viola Oearing. is on the sick list. Howard and Shepherd have a new stock of goods. David Duster, of Hazleton, is visitiug friends at this place. George Belcher is the happiest man in town. It’s a boy. Mrs. Jennie Howard has been bad sick since our last report. The wheat merchants of this place are not doing much business. Joseph Franco set an ice cream supper at J. H. Cleveland’s Saturday night. Mias Nannie Thompson and Ella Howard went to Udion Saturday night. Bnssel Thompson has threshed about 4.000 bushels of wheat since he started out Another marriage will doubtless take place as soon as the bride becomes sixteen years of age. Esquire Steele and Miss Lucy McGillins were united in marriage last Sunday night. May peace and joy be with them. BtJOUTS Bot.
