GOSSIP.
The weather.
Last Saturday was lovely day. Our good
u y city, seemed to have been walked up by the
warm sunshine, and the levee presented a
busy appearance, and along Main street the
ladies were shopping, to the delight Of store
keepers, and the pecuniary loss of parents and
husbands. The country seemed to have pre-
cipitated itself into town, and any number of
wagons from foreign parts, traversed our
streets. Speaking Of wagons, reminds US Of
the goods annually taken in wagons from this
place to GRANVILLE, Fairfield, Mt. Carmel, Pal
estine and Southern Illinois The fact is the
GRANVILLE Railroad,
Must be built, Our merchants are begin
ing to feel the need Of railroad in that quar-
ter, and in this age of steam, railroad can
always be built when the people along the line
realize its worth. Evansville is the natural
market for all that country, and we might this
season feel the benefits of it, if our pork mer-
chants could bny hogs in Illinois and have
them delivered here in few hours by rail-
road. But
Hogs
Continue to bring $50 for the heaviest, and
plenty Offering The loss of our pork pack
ers, during the past two years. has made them
cautious, and the market opened at So, above
which no transactions have been made. The
abundance of 'mast' in our woods has enabled
the farmers to fatten their hogs with little or
no expense, and their profits will probably ex-
coed those of last year. But leaving the hog
market we branch off and gossip of the orna-
mental, of the
Assembly EHaIl
Lately fitted up by the Assembly Club"
for series Of "Sociabeo." Although not a
dancing man." we locked in upon the club
last Friday evening, and were pleased to see
the success which marked the opening of the
dancing campaign. The Hall is well lighted
by three chandeliers, and Of ample breadth
for all necessary purposes. The music upon
the occasion alluded to, was by the Quadrllle
Band under the direction of Mr. Matthias,
and six sets kept time to the merry music"
We congratulate the young gentlemen who
have the affair in charge, upon their success
in perfecting the arrangements. But dancing
suggests music, and that leads US to speaks OF
the
Riley Family,
d Who gave two Of their choice concerts in
this city over year ago, and who now pro-
pose to give one more in Evansville this week.
The singers are not in the city 'at this wri-
ting but we hope to hear of them shortly
Between the Riley Family and the Brass Band
concert, we will be Toasted with melody
Talking of music, suggests the ring of silver,
and in this connection, we will say word to
Subscribers who Dom'i Pay UP.
We are perfectly aware of the fact, thai
ore dime is very small coin-comparatively
speaking. Yet, we suggest that ten dimes
make dollar, and that dollar is worth look
ing after. Now if every subscriber would
think of this interesting fact when our car
rers make their Saturday collections, our re-
ceipts would be little larger, and our patrons
could enjoy the Sabbath day, without the
twinges of conscience necessarily following a
man who don't pay tie pi !ter. Having re-
duced our gossip to dun we say good morn
ing.
