Our new Job Power Press is now under
full blast, so that We are better prepared Than
formerly to accommodate friends WITHHOLD work OF
Ialikinds more promptly than formerly. We are
turning out work now just as neat as Louisville
work.
- Do not forget that the Ladies' Fair will
be continued and closed this evening AT Foster
ball Those who attend cannot but be pleased.
The ladies will do everything in their power to
render the visit of those pleasant who attend this
evening. We hope TO see large crowd present,
as in addition to the other attractions, there will
be another good supper and good music.
- The weather moderated Wednesday eve
ming, and yesterday morning the ground was
covered with sleet. Changing colder again.
The Kentucky No. 2 was sold yesterday
at Sheria's sale for $1,000. S. Kahn was the pur.
chaser We presume she was bought on specu-
lalion as Kahn is no; a steamboatman.
- Although the weather yesterday had mod
Grated very considerably, yet hog cutting was by
no means stopped. A good many were coming
in.
- We nave heard nothing lately about the
Hospital. We notice, however, big pile of
sand and building material at The spot below Pi.
geon Creek. Push it along Mr.. Roquet.
- Over an hundred names were registered
at The Washington House, day before yesterday.
The new building is much demanded by the ex-
iensive patronage the proprieiors are receiving
at their old house.
- Misses Cowden & Barker offer excellent
opportunities for good bargains as will be seen
by advertisement. They wish to dispose of their
entire winter stock of Bonneis and Millinery, at
cost, To close up, and make room, We presume,
for their spring stock. Call and see their goods,
as no better opportunity is offered or will be
again soon, for purchasing excellent things of
this kind cheap. Their goods are all the latest
styles.
AS there is some skating excitement,
among the boys, and it is predicted the river is
70 freeze over in February, we advise those
wanting skates TO drop in at Bahcock Bros.
Hardware siole You can find something nice
and cheap there.
- No Eastern mail arrived here yesterday
Lat night was very foegy; and to-day's mail
aced not be expected before afternoon.
49, We beg leave to state fact, for the
benefit of some who have objected so much
to "Wabasil's" article. The bar in front
of the upper part of the city made from the
summer of 1852 to the summer of 1853, from
tho front of Babcocks' store TO the foot Of
Division street. Probably some calculation
may be made, as to how long it will take to
reach Pigeon Creek! We would also state,
that il is less than one mile and a half across
one portion of the neck of land between Ev-
ansville and Henderson-but the idea is alb
;surd that the river will ever wash through.
"A new dock is just being completed
on the Canal above the Boonville bridge,
along side of the dock already finished. The
Prairie City is lying along side. She has
just been purchased by Dir. Smith, and will
probably be locked.
- Mr.. Hustace is advertising new and
splendid lot of Jewelry-just received for the
holiday demand, when every body expects
to present his wife or sweetheart with new
Pin, Bracelet, Watch or some other valuable
love token, in which Mr.. rs stock abounds
-Everybody is preparing for hrstmas
and we shall all expect something fine in the
way OF a dinner. Let every one eat his Tur.
keyaPig and Oysters, or any other luxury he
