•-•-Several parties hare requested the publishers of the DAILY NEWS to call at their business places and see about advertising. Previous to the issuing of the first number, we had rfbthing to show to an advertiser but a piece of white paper. Now that the DAILY NEWS is before them, we shall "call and see about advertising" within a few days.

MituatlonH Wanted, and Help Wanted. 'RHE DAILY NKWS will print advertisements of persons wanting work or tions, and of those needing help of any kind, without charge—such advertisements I not to exceed 30 words. This is proposed because it is believed it wilJ aid many who need and desire work, and we cordially invite all interested to avail themselves of the means offered. It must be remembered that letters through the 'mail are not eliver to initiate only. If initials are used, the letter should be directed to the care of some individual, firm, or postoffice box, and if for city ielivery, the igc is two cents. The DAILY NKWS oxes at the office for the reception of letters addressed to its care, and such letters will be delivered only to the advertiser holding a check for the box number.

A NEW IDEA.

The Daily News Call Boxes and Messengers. To facilitate the collection of city news, as well a? to place advertising patrons in close connection with the office, the publishers hare placed Call Boxes at different points throughout the city, each of which will be visited several times during the day, from 7 o'clock AM -till 2:00 by the Messenger Boys of the DAILY NEWS. These Boxes have been put up for the purpose of affording a place of deposit for information of local news, and we cordially invite any person who has knowledge of. any matter of public Interest happening in his or her vicinity to write out the facts and drop it in one of our Boxes. Attached to each Box will be found tablets of paper. Sign your name to your communication, for the knowledge of the editor only, as a guarantee of good faith on your'part. We innist on this items not ttigned by a known responsible name are of the value of waste paper, and will be treated accordingly. The advertising patron* of the DAILY NEWS will also find these Boxei a convenience, as they can drop their favors therein, and thereby save a walk to the office.

Communications, orders for the DAILY NKWH by earner or mail, advertising copy, or information of any kind intended to reach the office, can be handed to the DAILY NKWS Messenger Boys, as they pass to and fro through the streets. They will be known by their blue caps with DAILY NEWS in white letters on the front, and Message Pouches of light-colored leather. The names of our Messenger Boys are: GEOROK M. SPARKS and WILLIAM I. POWER. They are, while on duty for the DAILY NEWS, and wearing the badge of the paper, its accredited representatives, and we trust they will, in their business relations, merit the commendation of our patrons, as well as ourselves, for attention to their duties.

LOCATION OP BOXES.

At the Terre Haute House, on desk in the reading room. At the "Depot Drugstore" of Robinson & Sherburne, 980 Chestnut street.

At "East End Drug Store," J. E. Somes. 1201 Main street. At the Bakery and Grocery of'Mrs. A. Gcrhart, 824 South Thirteenth street.

The following card is attached to cach box: DAILY NEWS MESSAGE BOX.

This box is placed here by the consent of the proprietor, as a place of deposit for local items, society news, or anything of a character that would be of interest to the reader of a daily Terre Haute newspaper. The publishers solicit sxuJi information from any on*. They only ask contributors to be brief and to the point, and to give the information at once—what may be news to-day, ten chances to one will fee uo news to-morrow. Bp-Offensive perso a it it be a id W it your items on the paper attached, and drop it in the box, which will be visited several times each forenoon, up to 8 M, by the DAILY NEWS MESSENGER BOYS, and the contents conveyed to the DAILY NF.WS office. A responsible name is required to be signed to each item, (for the personal knowledge only of the Editor,) as a guarantee of good faith. 0TOrders for the DAILY NEWS to be left by carrier or sent by mail, or copy for advertisements, can also be placed in the box. thus securing early attention to such orders. Local items or ads. can be handed to the DAILY NEWS MESSENGER BOYS, as they pass through the streets.

He has not been sentenced. Hammond is about the only member of the notorious Driggs, Boyd an\ McCartney gangs out of prison. —The State Board of Agriculture at its session at Indianapolis, on Tuesday, appointed the following superintendents of departments: Horse, H. C. Meredith cattle, Robert Mitchell hog, Dcmpsey Seybold sheep, S. R. Quick poultry, B. H. Hancock agricultnre, T. \V. Cofield mechanical, R. M. Lockhart. carriages and fnrniture, J. N.

Haynes. —Yesterday, in C'ountv Waterford, Ireland, a force of officers, backed by the police, attempted to enforce a writ of distraint against a widow, and the populace offered successful resistance, overpowering the police and recapturing the cattle which had been seized. The officer who attempts to execute a writ in that section at the present time does so at the risk of his life, and at this distaucc it looks like foolhardiness if not worse, for the magistrates to attempt anything of the sort. The temper of a starving populace is something not to be trifled with. —An explosion occurred at Barton & Babcock's distillery, Peoria, night before last, shattering the walls of the building, killed two men, fatally injured two others and badly burned and scalded three more. John Sill, fireman, and an unknown man

who had just come in to find work were almost instantly killed. General Babcock, one of the proprietors, and John Richardson, helper, are not cxpected to live. William Burns, engineer, Louis Laufenberg, masher, .and Oscar Mills, a visitor, were painfully injured. The boilers were getting dry, and the letting in of water was the cause of the explosion. —A telegram from LaFayette says, the Uniformed Rank Knights of Pythias did the grand last night at their new hall in the Coleman building. This being the anniversary of the organization ana the society having just fitted up their elegant new hall, the dedication was doubly important. There is no drill corps of the order that has been so successful as the LaFayette boys. At Cleveland, Indianapolis and Bloomlngton they bore off the honors, and have not allowed themselves to rest upon their laurels, but are drilling every week, in view of competing in coming contests.

—Indianapolis Journal: Col. Maynard "testified" before the Voorhees committee yesterday. His examiuation in chiet and cross examination together did not consume more than twenty minutes, and it all resulted in disclosing the fact, known to everyone in this section already, that he knew nothing about the subject upon which he was called to testify. The Colonel was kept waiting in Washington by the chairman of the committee for three weeks before being called to the stand, and will, of course, pocket his per diem for all that time. This is Mr Voorhees' idea of economy and statesmanship.

-i-At a meeting of the Senate select committee on the Freedman's Bank', held Yesterday, Anson M. Sperry, general field agent and inspector of brancnes, testified to the solvency of the bank, and to the marvelous increase of its business from the start up to 1874, the time of its failure. The deposits had grown from $800,000 in 1866 to $81,000,000 in 1872, and to $55, 000,000 in 1874. He stated that the cause of the bank's failure was primarily a violation of the company's charter in entering general business on branches, which opened the doors to wild speculation in real estate booms and other doubtful securities. The worst complications and losses he said arose from operations in Washington. He had never known it to sustain a loss through the dishonesty of the colored men in charge of any of the branches.-^ •, -h 'IBs —A dispatch from Murfreeshoro, 19th, says: Tlie scenes witnessed upon the grounds selected for the hanging, to-mor-row, of Burrell Smith and John Hall, the negro assassins of Mayor Pugh, bore a more striking resemblance to a holiday occasion than one of death.

Hon. P. S. Kennedy Cannot Be Here Monday Night. A private note to the editor of the DAILY NEWS, received this afternoon from Hon P. S. Kennedy, of Crawfordsville, states it will be impossible for him to address the Young Men's Republican Club next Monday evening, as he was expected to do.

The President of the Club authorizes us to announce that a good speaker will be provided for Monday evening, and his name announced to morrow.

ABOl'T ADVERTISING.

fiopwlall)' .idvertlidnR In the Dally News.

The DAILY NEWS solicits advertisements from the merchants and business men, mechanics and professionals, of Terre Haute. It does not propose, however, that its solicitors shall buzz around their ears hour by hour with the pertinacity of a modern book agent, until their solicitations are rewarded. The publishers of this paper propose to make it worthy of a large subscription list, and that it will receive such a subscription they do not for a moment doubt. It is an established fact that newspaper advertising is the most valuable medium by which an individual can place his goods or wares, or his occupation before the public ttnd the value is in proportion to the number who will likely see the advertisement As to the value of an advertisement in the DAILY NEWS, we will say that we print to-day 1,000 copies, and shall print no less to-morrow, or any succeeding day. We do not start with this number of subscribers, we admit, but each copy printed will be placed, like Oakes Ames* money was a few years ago-, where it will do the most good. The subscription list will exceed this nuifcber before the expiration of the month.

The DAILY NEWS solicits advertisements, and 'rates will be found elsewhere. It will be seen that these rates are computed by the line, and for advertisements occupying short length of space, with daily changes, if the advertiser sees fit to make them. This is the kind of adver-i tising that is preferred. Space in thepaper is valuable, and ads. for "filling" are not sought for. The larger sheets, with their cheap patent medicine and absolutely dead "fill up" advertising, may cover a larger sheet of white paper, but that gives them no value. The DAILY NEWS has no dead space. Every line counts. We want our advertising to be news in itself, and hence worth five times to the advertiser which it would be if concealed in "fill up" rubbish. We be lleve in the system of having the business man advertise when he has something to communicate to the public, and not compei him to take a space which is practically dead to him nine month* in the yeaf, in order to have a low rate, while in reality he is paying an excessive rate for the three months when the advertisement may be of advantage to him. The CU/K toms, as regards advertising, of the large cities can be just as well adapted to the "r •mailer ones, and such an innovation in a it as it a thoroughly understood.

Seven thousand per month is the rate at which new applications for pensions are pouring into the Interior -Department. And this, notwithstanding the fact that some 250,000 pensioners are now on the rolls, and 300,000 other claims are Mill pending. These numbers indicate thafg| nearly one-half the men enlisted in the Union army were either killed, wounded or disabled in the service, it is remarkable that after a lap*e of 15 years, 23S npersons per day shotifdbe just waking up to the fact that they are pensioners-
