ma le few days ago ii these columns
OF the changes that were being made
at the Odd Fellows Hall in this city.
The work is now completed, and the
committee to whom the matter was
referred have certainly discharged the
duty assigned to them faithfully and
well. 1t is now one OF the most
handsome halls in the State. The
carpets are all new and Of beautiful
patterns. The carpets on the ros-
trums OF platforms form panel work,
while those In the center of the room
are Of beautiful figure. The walls
have been re-papered, and a change
has been made in the general arrange
ment OF the room, which will make it
a great deal more convenient. The
chairs for officers have been re-lo-
Gated, and new and tasty decorations
provided for the presiding officers of
both the subordinate Lodge and the
Encampment. These changes have
been made alta cost of little over
nine hundred dollars.

A SERENADE AT MI VERNON. AND
WHAT CAME OF TIA few days ago
the Democratic Silver Band, of this
city, made an excursion down the
river, on board one of the packets,
and while the boat was lying at Mt.
Vernon, the members of the band
proceeded up town, sereuading. First,
they treated the proprietor of the
Nelson House to a serenade, then
proceeded to the residence Of Mr.
Welborne, whom they also serenaded.
Thence they proceeded to the Demo
crdt Office, and after serenading the
champion of the Posey County De
mocracy, some members Of the band
proposed to serenade the proprietors
of the Union newspaper, also. Then
came the tug of war. One man stated
that by the articles of association, /"
the thing could not be did, while an
other contended that according to the
: faith and belief as he understood
it, the rule in question only ap-
piled to party organization, and
not to individuals He believed it or
thodox to sereuade individuals of
whatever political faith, but hetrodox
to play at Republican meeting. Du
ring the discussion il was stated that
the g. @. Silver Band of this place
had never. serenaded the Democratic
newspaper men in this city, which
was stoutly denied, until the 81 ~ of
the Mount Vernon Democrat added
his testimony. that the G. G. boys had
never been guilty of such violation
OF political faith. The war waxed
hotter and hotter till at last one of
the liberal minded individuals drew of
and left the band in disgust, intend
ing to return home on the Armada,
but Before he got ready the boat
showed out, and he was left. A men,
Der of the G. G. Silver Band desires
it said, for the benefit of their De-
mocratic friends in Mount Vernon,
that as far as individuals are con-
cerned, they have never made any
distinction on account of politics, be
lieving it to be orthodox to serenade
individual Democrats, and believing
so, have acted accordingly.

Row AT A CHURCH. = On New
Years Eve, a couple of mean white
men entered the negro Baptist Church
in the upper part of the city, and one
of them, after pulling off his coat,
pulled out his revolver and swore he
could whip any negro in the house.
Both of them were promptly, and
without ceremony, elected from the
house and suffered to depart, since
which time they have not been seen.
Such conduct merits the severest pun
ishment, and it is to be hoped that
the parties may yet be arrested and
punished. The names of the persons
who thus disgraced themselves were
not learned, else they would be held
up to the public for their contempt
bic meanness.

A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Several days ago, a Mr.. Selby, of
Yankeetown, and Mr.. Johnson, who
resides near Boonville, came 10 this
city for the purpose Of selling some
horses. They effected a sale Of one
horse for $40, and traded two more
for one, receiving as a difference in
value $130. On Monday morning,
Mr. johnson separated from Mr.. S.,
at the corner of Fourth and Main
Streets, while he settled the bills, pre-
paratory to leaving for home, with
the understanding that they
meet as soon as that was done,
and since that time Mr.. S. has not
been seen nor heard Of, although
diligent search has been made. 1t is
feared that he has been foully dealt
with. He was large man, weighing
about 215 pounds, about twenty-six
years of age. He has wife and two
children, He wore, when last seen,
black pants, buff coat and vest,
new overcoat and white hat.
