The conservatives claim Tennessee by 40,000 majority. Practically, hostilities have been suspended in Cuba, owing to the prevalence of yellow fever and cholera. Minnesota has been visited with two destructive tornadoes, within a few weeks, doing a large amount of damage to property. The Treasury department has just issued a fifteen cent note. New twenty five and fifty cent notes will appear in a few days. Several cages of cholera were reported in New York last week, but it has not as yet assumed an epidemic form. A gang of counterfeiters were arrested in Cincinnati last week, and with them a large amount of spurious money found. The, President has ordered a strict enforcement of the neutrality laws, with a view to stop all attempts to furnish the Cubans with men and military stores. Officers of Internal Revenue re port to Washington large seizures of whiskj*; tobacco, cigars, etc., for the violation of the revenue laws, in various portions of the country. A company called the Mississippi Valley Emigration Company has been recently organized at Memphis, Tenn. The object of the organization is to import Chinese Coolies, as servants and laborers. The Howard University crew that went to Europe to row an international match with the Oxford men, reached London in the City of I’-aris, Monday, in good condition. August 31st has been agreed upon for the match.

San Francisco is considerably excited over a steam aerial ship. The trial trip of the model the papers declare was a complete success, and in a few weeks the “Aerial Steam Navication Company" will have a new vessel completed capable of carrying four persons.

A gang of counterfeiters were recently captured near Jonesville, Wisconsin. * Some 8500,000 in well executed counterfeit bills were seized. Over one hundred persons are implicated, some of them hitherto looked upon as re spec table..

The French Atlantic Cable was completed Friday last, and works satisfactory. Secretary pish has notified the French and British ministers that the bill now pending in Congress probably embodies the conditions of permission and regulation of foreign telegraphic intercourse, and the company must govern themselves accordingly.

Massachusetts is having a vender time. The prohibitory law which recently went into off. ct has completely cut off the public sale of corn juice or lager. As a consequence private club rooms are becoming quite the rage, and all sorts of artifices that the shrewdest of Yankees can invent to defeat the law are being applied to furnish the thirsty with alcoholic stimulants.

A party of excursionists met with n serious accident on the Kansas Pacific road, Saturday. Highwater had undermined a bridge; the train passing over was precipitated through the bridge to the water, some eighteen feet, killing two persons and wounding a majority of the party. The excursionists were comprised of railroad ottlcinls from eastern roads and capitalists.

The corner atone of the new Sentinel building, Indianapolis, was laid on Saturday, with appropriate ceremonies. Tire lion. D. W. Voorhees was the orator on the occasion, who spoke for more than an hour on the power of the press, its mission and the influence it should exert He paid a high compliment to the energy, enterprise, ami ability ot the present proprietor of the Sentinel, R. J. Bright, Esq At the coueluslou of hi* remarks the Hon. Jason Brown read n poem written for the occasion by Mrs Sarah T Boltcn

Wayne Vg. Allen. The Richmond Humming Bird complains of Allen count}’, and affirms that Allen gets more than is rightfully due her of the school fund. Among other things, charges that the distribution is not based upon population, because Wayne has two State Senators while Allen has to have Adams hitched on to entitle it to that dignity. When the State was redistricted for representative purposes, Wayne was set down with a voting population of 7,489, and allowed two Senators. Aden had at the same time a voting popula tion of 8,080, yet to entitle her to two Senators had to be spliced on to Adams, with 2,240 votes. In the strong Radical county of Wayne 7,489 votes entitled them to two Senators; in the strong Democratic counties of Allen and Adams it requires 11,320 votes to be entitled to the same representation. Vermillion, a Radical coun ty, at that time had 2,030 votes and was given a Representative.— Adams atjthe same time had cast 2,240 votes and Wells 2,684 yet they had to be attached together to entitle them to a Representative. There was no pretention to fairness in dividing the State into senatorial and representative districts. The same inequality we mentioned exists in a greater or less degree throughout the State. There was but a single object in view, to secure political power to the Radical party. Hence when parties make estimates of population upon representation in the General Assembly, they are liable to fall into the same error that the editor of the Humming Bird did.

The Pacific Railroad. The people have donated millions of their money toward building the Pacific railroad. It is true the rails are laid all the way through. The people say it is mis erably constructed, not in accordance with the company's con tract with the government, while Senators and RqjHftVntfltives in Congress, who are the happy pos scssors ot free passes, free stock and free corner lots on eligible sites along the route, affirm it is a first-class road in every respect. The immense land grant to the company was a most outrageous ; swindle, and the rates of tariff on the road, is, if possible, a greater swindle upon the people than the land grant. None but these dead j bead congressmen and millionaires | can afford to use the “nation’s J great highway.’' With Congress' in a body as a portion of the com 1 pany but little can be done to reg ulate the rates of Tariff, unless the; press unite and denounce the swin-• die, and demand terms that will be fair and equitable between the people and the company. - — - . - ■ I— The Virginia Election. A movement has been set on foot in Washington to defeat the result of the Virginia election. Leading Radicals express their belief that Congress will refuse to admit the State, on the ground of fraudulent Voting, and this in the face of Gen. Canby’s report that the election was a fair one. Grant seems to be satisfied with the result, Radical papers ditto; who is afraid ? Virginia seems to be reconstructed sufficiently to satis- 1 fy all parties, if we except the extreme Radicals. We feel considerable interest in watching for further dcvclopivnents.

The Erie railroad has been subject to another fearful disaster. ; caused by leaving a baggage train ; partly upon the main track, with which a train loaded with passengers collided. Nine persons were burned to death certain and probably fifteen or twenty. As many more were killed or moi tally wounded by the crash. The details arc shocking beyond- belief, and are all the result of carelessness upon the part of an employe of the. road. — The most prominent radical can--1 didate for Ross’s seat in the senate (which will lie vacant in 1871, is the Rev. Mr. Kalloch, the Boston minister who went to Kansas after his little misfortune and became a great radical blue light. Kalloch is wording hard, ami thinks his changes -arc excellent since the Sickles reception in New York.

State Items. The Marion county jail is empty. The great revival in Richmond continues with unabated interest The wife of Elbert Hann, in Clinton county, recently diea of milk sickness. Arrangements for another blast furnace have been completed at Terre Haute —capital SIO,OOO. Juhus Anderson is unaccountably missing from Zionsville, with Bi,ooo in cash. Foul play is suspected.

The Methodist church of Hartfard City has voted to make no distinction on account of color. The arrival of the cars at Worthington, three or four weeks hence, is to be celebrated with a big dinner and Sunday speeches. Mrs. Fish, of Indianapolis, had a windfall 0f516,000 in gold, the other day, by the death of a relative in Canada. We understand that the Free Lovers’ Convention will be held in this city about the first of August. — Sentinel. The Newcastle Courier says that Henry county has the finest public buildings in the State, all paid for and $30,000 on hand. In a jaunt through Shelby county last week we saw women plowing in the corn-field and men fishing in Blue river. Shame on the men !— Franklin Press. The trustees of the Union Christian college have conferred the degree of Master of Arts on Miss Selma Ingersoll, of Indianapolis, who was one of the graduates of that institutions of the class of 1866. ’ -b

The Mount Vernon says General Hovey has contracted for 200,000 brick for his pro- ? posed new residence, which is intended to be the finest in that section of the State. Epauletts and di plomacy appear to pay. Jacob Snider, who lives near Greencastle, and is eighty-two , years old, -celebrated the 4th of ' i July on Monday, the sth, by cradl- ' ing thirty-three dozen bundles wheat, which he also helped to bind and shock.— Greencastle Press. Mr. James Priest, of Clinton i township, made and sold 546 | pounds of butter from May 12, | 1868 to May 1869. off ol three j cows. The sum realized, from its sale was 8169 26, or an average of 35 cents per pound.— Greencastle Press. The Morgan county Gazette ! tjives the following instance of fecundity: In July, 1868, the wife of Mr. loseph Johnson, living in Jefferson township, in this county, gave ■ birth to three children, and in less 1 than eleven months thereafter she I gave birth to two more. The children were all perfectly formed; ! but only one of them survives at : the present writing.

Political Items. Since the Virginian election a Charleston paper says there is hope for the redemption, even of Soutti Carolna. Promment Mississippians nowin Washington declare that state will give 35,000 or 40,000 majority for the conservatiives nt the ap proaching election. Advices from Virginia arc that many negroes In that state areturning contervative since the election, and many notv declare they voted, that ticket.

It is whispered in radical circles in Washington that John W. Forney expects to be elected next United States senator from North Carolina, which aconnts for his recent puiyhase of real estate there. Richard Reals, “oIJ John Brown's right hand man at Har per’s Ferry, and the youngest of his band, was recently appointed an assistant assessor of the internal revenue in the district of Edgefield, S. C.

Gov. Senter is turning out the old registers of election by wholesale, and the Stokes party is great* ly excited. The governor has ordered two companies of militia to Knoxville, and says he will order more if his registersarc interfered with. v

The Ohio democratic papers, without exception, indorse the nomination of Gen. Rosccrans, thus disappointing the prognostications of the radicals. Tile Ohio democracy will vote solidly for Rosemcrans. and he will receive many thousands of republican votes in addition.

It appears to be understood that Gov. Walker will be elected one of the Untied States senators from Virginia, aud that Lieut Lewis will be the chief executive of the state. Mr. Lewis is a Virginian by birth, and his accession to the governorship will gratify the pride of the Virginians!

Article Required to be Stamp ed—lmportant to Grocers, Druggists, and Others. The supervisor of internal reven ue for this district furnishes us the following for publication: The attention of grocers druggists and dealers generally is called to their obligations under the United States revenue laws, with respect to articles liable to stamp duty.

For their information we will state that sardines, anchovies, prepared mustard, syrups in bot ties, jams, jellies meat, and fish sauces of different kinds colognes, perfumeries, cosmetics, and all articles named in “schedule C, stamp duties,” as amended by the act of March, 1867, are liable to stamp duties, whether made in the United Ststes or imported. The stamp must be affixed to each offered or exposed for sale. An article is offered or exposed for sale when placed on the shelves, counter, or in the showcase of the dealer. Parties selling imported articles ofthe kind mentioned must affix and cancel appropriate stamps, such article being subject to the! like stamp tax with domestic man - ufactures. Where the importer sells in the original packages, i. e. those furnished by the original manufacturer or praduccr, and not the package which the retailer sells to a customer, he need not break open such original packages and, stamp such article, but may sely the same in the original package/ case or box, and the dealer who breaks a package to sell ry>-sfngle article muct affix and cancel stamps The absence of stampslin such case is yrimafaica evAlcnce of fraud. Every dealer is regarded as a manufacturer, and is liable to all the penalties of such for sei ling, removing, exposing or offering for sale such article without proper stamps. The penalty is SSO for each of fence, one half to the informer. Canned bruits, vegetables, oysters, ; dry mustard, olives, capers, pickles cooking essences, and extracts are exempt from tax. But all essences, extracts, toilet waters, <*os* metics, bay rum, Florida water oil pomades, tooth washes, powders and dentriflees of all kinds are subject to stamp duty, as also every box. bottle, phial, pot, or other inclosurc containing any pills, powders, tinctures, troehes, lozenges, ‘ (Oidials, bitters, anodynes, tonics,; plaster, linements, salves, ointments, pastes drops, waters, spirits ' oils, or any proprietary medicinal j preparation whatever. Dealers are notified that theses • duties will be strictly enforced as revenue officers are giving especial ; attention to these matters, ami I may save themselves much trouble by complying at once with the law. All who want to know what the law requires of them can send to the commissioner of internal revenue, at Washington, and get a copy of the pamphlet containing i the law and regulations concerning stamp duties under schedules B. and C.»-

A Singular Funeral. Among a certain portion of our population it is tho custom to bury the dead at night. The ceremony perfonnd by the flash of lamps and surrounded by darkness, —the city quiet and the solemn hour of , midnight on the toll, is impressive and aweinspiring. But when added to this a weird superstition is flung over the awful rite, the feelings and emotions with which one witnesses it, is augmented with a terror almost impossible to subdue.

In the lower part of the city are a few families of Malays. By what circumstances they ever removed to here is not known, but they preserve the custom and : semi-barbarous superstitions that 1 have distinguished their |>eople and country. They bury their dead at 1 night, and like the American In- | dians, slaughter upon the grave I some animal deceased loved in life. I Saturday afternoon a young girl died on Barracks street, and was buried Sunday night, in the old cemetery on Gentilly road. There being no priest of their religion here, the ceremony was performed by the oldest man of their country residing among them. He was clad in a dark black robe, and preceded, on foot, the cortege which ■ conveyed the remains to the grave. Arriving there the tomb was annotated and a fish and some cake placed in the vault. This was accompanied by a ceremony at once solemn and impressive. This over, a bird was killed and laid on the breast of the deceased, whilst all the friends and relatives passed , by the coffin, each one laying their hand on the bead ami saying in their native tongue the simple word farewell! No tears were ahedThey do not view the transition of the soul an occasion of grief. The soleiuimparting is but a temporary separation, and the resignation they manifest affords an example . Christians might well conclude to imitate. The ceremonial over, the family returned home accompanied by immediate friends, and fruit, and wine, and bread is given to each of the dead. By it they prom-

ise to preserve their constancy to each other, and by their love for the dead perpetuate their friendship. Altogether it is an impressive ceremony, solemn aud loving, as the memory of the dead should be.— Neic Orleans Picayune. Some scoundrel, between 12 and 1 o’clock on Saturday ing, entered the houses of J. K. Bell, of Evansville, and by the use of chloroform, attemptedto violate the person of his daughter, a young lady of about 17 years of age, who is noted for her beauty. The fiend enterened the room of the young lady from the shed at the back part of the window, and was evidently familiar with the premises. The young lady slept on a lounge, and the mother slept in the same room, while Mr. Bell occupied the front room. The scoundrel put chloroform ou her face, but it got into her eye, which caused it to smart, and she awoke, and at the same time the old lady, who is an invalid, also made a movement—which frightened the Xcoundrcl, and he jumped out of the window again and made his escape. The young lad)' screamed, which immediatly awoke her father but when he entered the room the wretch was gone, and it was some time, owning to the Bright and confusion of the’young mdy, before he could ascertain •what was the matter.

Marriage ot Widows. The frequent marriage of Widows seems to have always been more or less discouraged, men being allowed in this respect much greater liberty; but St. Jerome mentions a widow who married her 22d husband, he in his turn having been married to 20 successive wives. The championship appears, however, to belong to a liar rlem woman spoken of by Evely in his Diary, whose propensity for remarrying bad to be checked by law: “She had been, married to her 25th husband, and being now a widow, was prohibited to marry in future.

SPECIAL NOTICES. AN—IN THE’ YOUNG AND RISING generation, the vegetative' power of life are strong, but in a few years how often the pallid hue, the lacklustre eye and emaciated form, and the impossibility of application to mentall effort, show its baneful influence. It, soon Itecomes evidence- to the observer that some influence is checking tin development of the body. Consumption is talked of, ami perhaps the youth is removed from school and sent into the country. This is one of the worst movements. Removed from ordinary diversions of the ever-changing.scenes of the ~ity, the powers of the body too much enfeebled to give zest to healthful and rural exercise, thoughts nre turned inward upon themselves. If the patient be a female, the approach of the inonsesg is looked for with anxiety, as the first symptom in which Nature is Io show her saving power in diffusing the circulation and visiting the cheek with-the bloom of health Alas! incrcas eof appetite has grown by what it fed on; energes of the system are prostrated, and the whole economy is deranged. Tl-.e beautiful and wonderful period in which body and mind undergo so fascinating a change from child to woman, is looked for in vain; the parent'shearts bleed in anxiety, and fancies the grave but waiting for its victim. Helmbold's Extrr.c of Buchr, for Wenk, ness arising from excesses of early indiscretion, attended with the following symptioms: Indisposition to Exertion, Loss of Power, Loss of Memory, Difficulty of B eathing, General Weakness, Horror of Disease, Weak Nerves, Trembling Dreadful Horror of Death, Night Sweats, Cold Feet, Wakefulness, Dimness of Vision, Langour, Universal Lassitude of the Muscular System, Often Enormous Appetite with Dyspeptic Symptions, Hot Hands, Flushing of the Body, Dryness of the Skin, Pallid Countenance and Eruptions of the Fnce, Pain in the Back, Heaviness of the Eyelids-, Frequently Black Spots Flying before the Eyes, with Scmporary Tuffusioii and Loss of Sight, want of Attention, Great Mobility, Restlessness, with Horror of Society, Nothing is more desirable to such patients than Solitude,ami nothing they more dreid, for Themselves; no Repose of Manner, on Earnestness, no Speculation, but a hurried Transitioif f.om one question to another. These symptoms, if allowed to goon—which this Medicine invariably removes —soon follow Loss of Power, Fatuity, and Epileptic Fits, in one of which the patient may expire. During the Superintendence of Dr. Wilson nt the Bloomingdale Asylum this sad result occured to two patients: reason had for a time left thctii, and both died of epilepsy. They were of both sexes, and about twentyycars of age. Who can say that these excesses arc not frequently followed by those direful diseases Insanity nnd Comsumption? The records of the Insane Asylums, and the melancholy deaths by Consumption bear ample witness to the truth of these assertions. In Lunatic Asylums the most melancholy exhibition appears. The countenance is actually sodden nnd quite destitue—neither Mirth or Grief ever •.'sits it. Should a sound of the voice occur. ‘•Withwoeful measures wan Despair Low sullen sounds their grief beguiled.’ Whilst we regret the existence of the above diseases ami symptoms, we are prepared to offer an invaluable gift of chemistry for theremoval of the consequences.

I.ct not Prejudice I’mirp Your Reason. It is a fact that, in the minds of many persons, a prejudice exists against what are called patent medicines; but why should this prevent you resorting to an article that has such an nrrny of testimony to support it as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS? Physicians prescribe it; why should yon discard it? Judges, usually considered men of talent, have used and do use it in their families; why should you reject it? not your prejudice usurp your reason to the everlasting injurjp-of your health. If you arc sick and need a medicine, try these Bitters. When the bodily energies are worn out by anxiety and need a stimulant, this is the best that can be taken. It is tempered and modiffed by hygienic herbs and roots, which prevent it from fevering the blood; and hence it does not produce a mere temporary excitement, to bo followed by injurious reaction, but com-' municatcs a permanent potency to the entire vital organisation. Some of its • herbal constituents are slightly soporific, so that in cases where sleeplessness is one of the accompaniments of nervous disease, a dose of it taken towards bed time will tend to produce quiet and refreshing slumber. For palpitation of heart, tremors hysterics, fainting fits, and general restlessness and the cause, less fears and diatrcssfng fancies to which ladiet are especially subject, under cer. tain morbid conditions cf mind and body peculiar to their sex, the Bitters will be found the most agreeable and certain of sll counter-irritants. Thcconstitutlonally nervous may readily keep their Infirmity in instant check by the daily use of this healthful vege - able lonic; and those who have •*hatiered their nerves," as the phrase ts, either by imprudent indulgence or utrfue physical or intellectual labor, will find tn this vitalising elixir a prompt restorative- - [ Ju, y3
