The heaviest snow of the season fell last Monday.

Willis KEITHLY, a refugee from Tennessee, who had been working with Mr. H. STARR, some five or six miles from this place, recently eloped between two days, carrying with him, a one hundred dollar Treasury note belonging to Abrahm STARR, who has recently been discharged from the army, and received the note as his bounty for three years' service. It is believed that he said Keithly is a spy of the rebel army. He rode a ___nut sorrel mare supposed to have been stolen also. $100 , have been offered for his apprehension, and delivery into the hands of the sheriff of Lawrence county.

***************

ATTENTION! $500 Bounty!! The County Commissiones have decided that each recruit, credited to Lawrence county, to fill her quota under the President's call for 300,000 men, shall receive a county bounty of $300. This with the Government and township bounties and the soldier's wages, will amount to a snug sum for one year's service.

Mr. V. WILLIAMS, a soldier of three years' experience in the fighting 18th and Mr. GELWICK, Deputy Auditor, are recruiting a company for service in one of the new regiments, (145th) for a term of one year. Now is the time to enlist. Delays are dangerous.--Enlist early and secure the bounty. The company roll is at the Auditor's office, where any desiring to volunteer will be furnished with information in regard to bounties, &c. &c.

We will publish the action of the Board, in regard to bounties, next week in full. Could not get it in time for to-day.

The roof of Mr. JOHNSON's livery stable fell in yesterday on account of the weight of the snow. His loss will be considerable.

STRYED OR STOLEN. A full-blooded English pointer, brown or snuff color, little white on his breast, top of his tail off and answers to the name of Tippecanoe. Said dog came from lake Ponchartrain and is the property of an old soldier, who will give five dollars reward for his recovery.

Mitchell, Ind., Jan. 6th
Mr. Editor: While other places have been giving social entertainments. and donation parties for various objects, permit me to say that the good people of Mitchell are not behind the best of them in acts of love and benificence. Tuesay night following Christmas was set a part for a supper for the benefit of our Soldier's families. Although the weather was unpleasant and the mud not only deep but broad, the BIGGS House was filled with citizens, to partake of the rich repast prepared by the Ladie's Aid Society. The scene was one of joy and gladness. The proceeds, over all expenses amounted to $130.00 With this several needy families were made happy.

Many thanks are due the generous and gentlemanly proprietors. Mr. BARNARD, not only for the use of his house, but for his vauable assistance.

This work of benificence, however, did not stop there. The members and friends of the Presyterian Church gave expression of their love and liberality, by presenting their pastor and his family with donations of provisions, and clothing, not forgetting a roll of green backs, a true panacea for most of the ills and troubles of life.

To crown all, still later, a few persons, not members of the church, devised a plan, by which they, too, might not only surprise the minister, but the church at large. Accordingly, Mr. BLAIR's residence was selected as the place of operation. All things ready, messengers flew through town and country, inviting the people to partake of oysters, fruits cakes and ice cream. They came without respect to name or sect. The way the money rolled in, a bystander would almost that one had to pay whenever he moved hand or foot. The night passed off pleasantly to all, and again the minister was kindly remembered with gifts and a purse of money.

For these several manifestations of love, I would take this opportunity to return our grateful acknowledgement. They serve as additional cords of bind us to this people. For these temporal supplies may one and all receive from the Head of the Church spiritual blessing--even eternal life, through faith in Christ.

Rsspectifully,
Thos. A. STEELE.
