SIXTY-SIX.—In accordance with a custom observed for many years John Britton and Jaines Heaton, Sr., united in celebrating their hir*Inlay yesterday evening. They are both of the same age and yesterday was the 6Gth anniversary. An elegant supper was served at the residence of Mr. Britton. About forty members of the two families were present to enjoy the good things of the table and the grand social time which followed. These gentlemen are both old pioneers and have seen Crawfordsville grow up as a child. To such men of such genial natures we are indebted for much of our prosperity, and we can but wish that they may live to see many returns of this anniversary day.

FRANK PATTERSON, a colored cook in the employ of Mike Zellers, was arrested last Monday on charges preferred by Zellers for stealing money. He was bound over to appear before the Circuit Court to answer to two charges of petit larceny. Mr.Zellers had been missing money from his till for several months, and finally discovered the thief by depositing marked inonev in the drawer.

THE recent effort of some of the students to make fun at the expense of the Sophomores, by publishing burlesques, was not a very brilliant success. The practice should be discontinued, and doubtless would be but for the foolish anxiety of the speakers to keep their subjects a secret until the evening of the exhibition.

MAGGIE MITCHELL.—Theagent of the Maggie Mitchell troupe was in the city last Thursday. This popular actress will appear at the LaFayette Opera House on Thursday the 2(ith, in Fanchon, the Cricket. She retains the popularity gained years ago, and is still greeted with large audiences wherever she goes.

T. & ST. L. RAILROAD.—The following railroad men registered at the Richardson House last Tuesday, having come here to attend the meeting in the inter-

Capt. J. C. Devor, Indianapolis, Engineer J. T. Salter, Chicago C. A. Manners, G. W. Turner, J. W. Smith, C. S. Stocker and John \V. Gray, all Illinois contractors. Besides these the following delegation from Terre Haute arrived on Tuesday evening on a special train over the L., C. & S. W. Railway: R. G. Herney, D. H. Hilchock, Geo. R. R. Windling, S. B. Black" well and Geo. D. Chafee. The ever present and active M. 15. Garten, who, next to Col. Willson, has beeu the most persistent and sanguine friend of the road I was also on hand. Nothing definite was done at the meeting, but another meeting is to be held at an early day at which it is expected some active steps toward the completion of the road will be taken. Col.

Willson is confident that the contract will be let before the opening of Winter, and the presence of so large a number of responsible railroad contractors this week shows that his faith is not without .good foundation.

THE grand jury was called to meet on Thursday to dispose of the cases of violation of law which have accumulated within the last few days. There are several prisoners in jail awaiting their action for recent offenses, and several cases which seemed to need investigation in which no arrests have yet been made. Judge Thomas had decided not to call the grand jury during the present term, but in view of recent developments concluded economy and the demands of justice would both be furthered by having this business disposed of at once. The jury has therefore been in session since Thursday morning, and will probably be obliged to break into next week to finish its work.

SOME boys entered Somerville grocery last Sunday while he was gone to dinner and robbed the money drawer of about $12. Through the assistance of Capt. Jack Ross he succeeded in finding the thieves on Sunday night and Monday and recovering most of the money. There were two of them. They had entered the store through the back way and-divided the money. One of them confessed to having taken about $5 from the drawer a couple of weeks previous.

The coal production falls off about a million tons, this year this amount mnrking the idleness of the iron trade. This is another industry which is postponing the return ot activity by artificial maintenance of prices.

A Gigantic Project.

[Harper's Magazine for December.]

The project of converting a portion of the Sahara Desert into au inland sea continues to find favor, and it is understood that thorough surveys with a view to determine the precise mode of accomplishing this object are under way by the French Government. As to whether the result aimed at is desirable or not is at present a question of considerable discussion. On one hand, the replacing of a large amount of desert waste by water, and making seaports of interior points in Algeria, and the expected restoration of an ample rain fall to various parts of Northern Africa, are viewed with favorable anticipations. On the other hand, it is maintained that the sea will simply become au immense evaporation basin, which will soon be clogged up with salt or that a serious interference willoccur in the amount of ueated air carried across the Mediterranean, which at present prevents the extension of the Alpine glaciers. Should this be interrupted, it is feared that increased glaciation will ensue, possibly restoring a large portion of Central Europe to its eondidtion during the raindeer epoch. Whatever be the resuW of this great engineering operation, it is extremely probable that it will be attempted by the French authorities.

Mr. Waldo, recently deceased, of Milwaukee, though a lawyer, was an earnest, consistent Christian. His legal training, however, sometimes showed itself in his Christian duties. It has been related of him that, he once cloyed a public prayer meeting with the following supplication "And give us further and other relief as the court shall see fit."
