From Petersburg.
For the Fayetteville Observe.


PETERSBURG, March ii, 1872.
Ar. ". O Wallace again seat
myself to drop you a few lines
concerning the health, peace and
prosperity OF our little burg. The
doctors say that it is distressing
Iy healthy, and that the people
have no sympathy for a poor half
starved doctor, or they would
give them "a call. About the
peace Of our little village | can
say everything Is lovely on the
Potion &c, ironically speaking J
| think We shall change the coun-
|! ~ seat of Lincoln to Petersburg,
80 that We may have everything
more convenient, as the most Of
business done now in the Circuit
Court is by some one from or near
this place. Therefore, as most
lot the business is from our burg,
[ think it would be advisable for
US to either get up a county of
our own or change the seat Of the
county to this place. Probably a
Criminal Court would suit US best,
and | think it would be 10 hard
matter for us to get up a conpe'
tent Judge within reasonable linn
its of our burg, and one with a
great deal of experience III the
business. Petersburg has gotten
to be a very noted place abroad ;
people are paying a great deal
more attention to us now than
formerly; every man here is eth.
er Squire or Colonel now, so es-
pecially called by the little cub
lawyers of Fayetteville 1--WE mean
no i'll feelings to any one by saying
cubs; no one can take it tohimselt
AS being personal, for | am sure
he would not call himself a cub,
who are constantly watching the
Petersburg fellows rs they come
in, fishing with them for fee,
They stick to him like a leach,
until they find out he has no case,
then they drop him like hot
rock. Notwithstanding all that
has been said, we have a prosperous
little town, trade good among the
merchants, and equally so among
the officers--especially the con-
stables of the district. Carpen-
ters have been very busy at work,
building up our little village over
the ashes caused by the noted F.
A., during the late war. Every
business house as we'll as several
dwelling houses were burned, as
most all know F.; but these indus,
trious and hard working people
have reared up in their stead some
buildings that they are not g.
shamed of, and are now needing
now only the railroad to make it
a village of preference to any in
the county. | will close as did
not intend to write much this
time. Yours, PHILLoN.

@ The Kansas Legislature
has passed law providing that
nobody shall be hanged for muir
der until one year ate: conviction,
and not then unless the Governor
issues a warrant for execution,
which he may never do, unless he
so elects. This will practically
do away with capital punishment
in Kansas, except, perhaps, in the
EXTREMIST cases.

FIre.-Monror, Michigan, has twice OF late
been visited by the "Iire fiend" and with mos
deporable results. Snme fonr weeks ago the
Drug store of Mr.. SHAFgR was destroyed. and
much dam go done I" adjoining stores AMI goods
Mr. SHAFER's loss was about IL 900, partly GOV
cred by insurance.
A dry goods establishment next to Mr.. SHAF-
ERs suffered extensively but was, we think, wei
insured. Nevertheless the proprietor became
insane with the excltamJnt occisioned by fire
and had to bo removed TO al asylum where he
still remains.
A few days since We had information Of Sash
and Door manuraotory having been wept a
way by this destroying elcmsnt. Loss $40 900
on which there was no insurance. That specie,
Of property il seldom insured, tor the reason that
the risk is considered great, and the rate SO high
that few can atfIrd ~ pay it, aad therefore as
sumo their own risk,
