COUNTY HISTORIES,-CONTINUED.

PIKE COUNTY,

This countyis baundeil on the north by Knox nnd Daviess, east by Dubris, smith by Wurrirk, and irest by Gihson, and conlnins 338 square miles. While River forms ils nertheru limit. The Paloka Creek crosses il centrally from cayl to iresl. The former is narigaled, nl the spring amil irinler dooils, by steamhoals nnil "brend.borns," noil the latlor by rafts anil ful-bouts.

Numerons creeks und branches, in all parts, drain off the rain full. The surface is generally level, or gently undulating, except the middle portion nf the enslern side, whose hills and deep ylone- walled valleys preseul, hy their romantic bonuss, a striking contrasi.

Springs of puro iraler are sesree; anil, ering ly tho constiluliut of The soil, many irells in the eastern part of the county cannot onmpele fnvornbly with cistern irater for drinking and culinary purposes.

The soil of the uplands is n blook, brown or red loam, and ins originally carered irill n magnificent growth of liuiber. Some unrirnled groves nf while unk, poplar und hickory ore still standing.

To the Fall of Petersburg, on the Jesper road is spread out n largo ex- lenl of country, almost perferlly level, having a rich soil and a young growth of timber. Al no distant period this uns orilently a prairie. Bo- neall The surface, beds of elar and sind, ilistinctly Jamingled irilh fragments of Trees and enormous graporines, point unt the laenshrine origin of the plain, and inhealy a warm climaio nt a former period This plateau is bonniled on the north by ancient sand bars on The bluffs of The White River, one hundred lo ong hundred and Ien feol nhore the present channel, irbich iniliente the high water level of The nucieul rirer.

Wral af Centerrille isn long ridge, which, ul a height of one humfreil nud thirty-five frel abore the Paloka Creek, is coveredl will an uncieul river samuel tur. This coustilnies a worm, loamy soil. Elovated above the suditen changes in the atmosphere, il is, to n greit degree, exempl frion the Iale frosta, nnd invites the attention of fruit growers. The lemler fruits are here grain most successfully, and ripen iu perfection.

From the top of this ridge, near Olive Branch Church, u fine viery can he aldained of the surrounding country. The spires al Oakland City, seven miles In the soulli, atul uther points doun the Palokn, Ien unles disinnl, nre ulninly iliscernable.

Analhier equally fine vien is seen from the summit of Steliregor Brll, Biluoled on a line of conient hills and narron ledges in the saullineal porlion of the county.

This ridge, capped with argillaceous limestone, separates the bayy in which is enlleeled The waters of the South I'otoku from the basins of the Wabash and ithiu Rivers.

From the lop uf MeGregar Hill, the enp-shaped valley lies one hundred und seventy five feet below. To the southeast of Snake Knab, veren milca ilistant, is seen Delney Hill ; Stendal, eleven miles dne cast. To the worth- ensl, the alluvinl plain, gently terraced with modifient drift, is backed by the bills near Winslow, an ultroclire amil interesting scene-a mighty record of the past, and on oridence of the unration of lime.

McGregor Hill, Sulake Knob andl & station a few miles further lo tho ensl were famous resorts in former limos for rilllesnakes.

Peler Ferguson, an early piuncer, collected a squnit of neighbors and ilng them onl in the winter, when lorpid, und al Sunke Knob alone killed orer one humilred. The other localities irere nol so prolihe.

This species of the sunke family is now rare, having been nearly all ex- Terminated. Occasionally an aged memher is found, somo allaining the uge of twenty and thirty years. Their age is determined by the number of rallles on their Inils. After passing beyond the age of Inelvo yents, these " rallle-rings," especially iu slony localities, are much worn.

In 1871, a mouster of this species was brought to Pleasantville, after bring killed, und found to weigh, on the village senles, fifty pounds
