There is an attraction about the NEWS office, that the venders of lian^organ music can nor resist. Wl^bfer n"Ts"Waccount of the good looking gentleman who officiates, deponent saj'eth not, but one tiling sure, a hand organ never struck the classic city of the Wabash without entertaining the NEWS with a choice selection of airs, such as a "Starry night for a ramble," and "Where was Moses when the light went out."

Council To-nlffht.

The Council meeting to-night is ex pected tc te one of great importance. And. whilst it may be one of importance tn some respects, there area great many things to be taken into consideration be fore any steps should be taken which will probably result in dissatisfaction. It is expected that several offices will be filled, and the selections for these offices should be careful ones. The chief of police and of the fire departments are positions that should be filled by men of cool heads and good sound judgment, men of varied experiences. Terre Haute has had enough of inexperienced police and firemen, as evidenced by the many mishaps that have occured during the last year, and we beg of the council to proceed carefully in this matter, and let no false ste^s be taken.

Socclal Correspondence Dally NEWS I* BRAZIL, Aug. 81. Maj. R. S. Hill, Republican candidate for Treasurer of State, returned from a campaign tour of part of the state, last Saturday night. He gives it as his opinion that the state will be carried by the Republicans. They seem to be harmonious, vigilant and well organized, and working with a uniform determination to win. In every part of the state large accessions are reported from the ranks of the Democracy to the Republican party.

The Clay county Teachers Institute is in session this week and is largely attend ed by the teachers of the county. The evenings will be given to lectures.

A very flattering Republican meeting was held last night at the Keystone mine, two miles south of town, which was addressed by Mayor Holliday and Prof. P. E. Eppert. Almost the entire mining population of tne vicinity was present and the number could not have been less than two hundred. The best of order prevailed and the attention given the speakers shows that the miners are largely in sympathy with the Republican party. Over sixty names were signed for a meeting at Hoosicrville next Friday night for the or ganization of a permanent club.

R. B. F. Peirce will begin his canvass in this county next Monday. A list of appointments has been arranged, avera ging about two meetings in each town ship. From the success of local meetings heretofore it is likely he will be met by large meetings./

Geo. A. Knight of this city made a speech to his fellow-citizens last Saturday night in this place. He was greeted with a respectable sized audience and spoke for an hour and a half during which time he pursued the usual Democratic line of appeals and arguments. We give Mr. Knight credit for handling the material at his command with as much ingenuity as any democratic speaker we have yet heard, but his effort was only additional evidence that it is a hard thing to make a fair and effective democratic speech.

Then preparations were made for a hasty midnight ride. Railroads were not of those days, and stage coaches were used for traveling. But stages were not for Mr. Garrison. He was a marked man. Everybody's hand seemed to be against him, even as his was against slavery. He dared not travel by stage, for it would have been putting liis life in the hand of people who wanted it very much.

Hastily James Forten ordered hie horse hitched up, and calling to him his Bon, Robert Forten, and Robert Purvis, who afterward became his son-in-law, he said: "You have four .hours to drive Mr. Garrison to Trenton. Start at once." It was in vain that the great abolitionist protested that he would not steal away like a thief. His friends had measured the depth of the hatred that was enter* tained for him, and knew better than he that the danger was imminent It was only by threats that he was finally induced to step into the carriage. Robert Forten seized the. reins, a hasty "God bless you, good by," and the carriage disappeared around the corner, turning northward. Ten minutes later, Mr. Garrison, leaning out to look at a crowd on the corner, heard a man abuse him with oaths and appellatives the reverse of complimentary.

The carriage drove on. Mr. Garrison looked at the faces of ail liis colored escort, aud broke out in loud laughter. They were so much affected that the pallor of fear came on to the black faces, and could be seen there. In half aa hour more the city was behind, and the sturdy little horse was throwing the dust behind and moving at a four-minute gait, dragging the buggy with tho three men it contained. Before they left the city, Mr. Forten called Robert aside and admonished him to push on for dear life and reach Trenton as early as possible. The lad obeyed the instructions to the letter. Thev heard the midnight bell striking as thev dashed through Bristol, leaving behind the echoes of the horse's hoofs and the rolling of the carriage wheels. The night coach to New York was caught up with and passed so fast that the guard is understood to hftve always afterward believed in ghosts. The clock struck one as the editor ~f the Liberator set his foot on Jersey soil, in the streets of Trenton—the sturdy little horse had made the distance, SO milec^ and drawn three persons, in three houm It was not nntil the next day that the howling mob found it had been cheated of its prey, and they took characteristic revenge, of their

Garrison's Ride For

Life.

perhaps the most exciting experience Mr. Garrison ever bad in this city was thatattendingliis escape on the night of the Pennsylvania Hall riot Shortly before that time the Legislature of the state of Georgia had enacted a law authorising the payment of $5,000 for the head of Mr. Garrison, the object being understood to be to incite some one to take hiB life. By the way, it uiay be mentioned that the law is still on the statute* books of the suite, and never has been -epealed. Whether any sordid feelings immateJ the riot or not it is impossible, course to say, but there is scarcely any doubt that some of the people engaged in it had that $5,000 in their mindf, and there is no doubt whatever that Mr Garrison was the principal object of th« attack.

Fortunately he was not recognized at the ball. He stood face to face with man who breathed threats and profanity against the abolitionist, smiled at him ana called him a foolish enthusiast Had there been an identification. Mr. Garrison would have swung from a lamp post as certain as late. His friends were much frightened for his safety, and under the pilotage of a little negro boy ho was leu by back streets and obscure alleys to Twelfth and Race, and subsequently by Broad to Lombard and thence to Forten'8 house. When once he got in, the streets were guarded in different directions, in order that if the mob got on the trail he could escape.

Yellow fever.

MEMPHIS, Augu t80—The stealer Golden City, from New Orleans to St. Louis, passed up at dark to-night, reports having passad the twoboat Kaveu and barges proceeding on her way up tbe river a hundred miles this side of Vicksburg, but held no communication with her. The character of the sickness among her crewis not vet known to the quarantine officials and the medical fraternity lierei The quarantine steamer Benner was at Helena, ninetv miles below her. at sunrise this morning on her way to intercept tho Raven.

Every precaution will be taken to pre vent the Kaven from spreding any sick ncss of a contagious nature, aud sne will not be permitted to land anywhere on the Tennessee shore. She will doubtless be detained at the quarantine steamer at President's Island, twelve miles below licre, until thoroughly fumigated and purified.

The Raven left New Orleans last Tuesday, and had five of her crew sick upon reaching Vicksburg Saturday night, une account is that the sick were remoyed to the hospital at Vicksbarg, and another that the boat pushed off for up the river against the protest of Quarantine Officer Rice, carrying the sick away. No further particulars were received here up to a late hour to night.

Ouray'a Ileatlt Confirmed.

Acting Secretary Bell, of tho Interior Department received a dispatch this even ing from Mr. Manypcnny. Chairman of the Ute Commission, dated Southern Ute Agency, August 84, which confirms the published report of Chief Ouray's death.

Up to the time of the receipt of this telegram which it will be observed was six d&ys on the way, Secretary Bell inclined to discredit tho report of Ouray's death. The dispatch received this evening states that "Ouray died this morning. The Commissioners fear this may embarrass them in their work. They lield a full council vesterday, but no Indians signed the ratification. Ignatio and dther chiefs opposed it."

LONDON. OHIO, August 30.—Our neighboring village of Somerford is in a whirl of excitement over a remarkably strange affair which occurred there Saturday, but has come to light only to day. The parties arc highly connected, and partly for that reason, and partly for tho sake bf the feelings of the unfortunate parents, their names are withhold.

It appears that on Sunday last Dr. Kiefer, of Somerford was summoned ss accoucher for a young married lady, it being her first chfld. She was safely delivered of—not a child, but a horrible monstrosity, which was most peculiarly formed. The head, or what should have been the head, was only a sack-like formation, without bone or particular shape, and so transparent that thg brain could be seen through the tissues. One eye was as large as a walnut, without visible lids, and the other but a mere point, yet seem ingly perfectly formed. No bones were in the body at all, and nothing humanlike about it could be detected save one hand, which was perfectly formed in every respect but the bones. The feet were like those of an animal in shape, with claws instead of nails.

The father and mother are healthy, well well-formed people, in good circumstances. No causc for the strange occurrence can be gi ven.

PARIS, KY., Aug. 80.—Entire Paris was startled yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock with the rumor that the entire familv of James McCann, 8r., consisting of himself, wife, three daughters and two grand children, had beed poisoned with arsenic. They were found by phvsicians in a very precarious condition and suffering great ly. The doctors were divided in opinion as to what poison had been taken, but ad ministered the antidote for arsenic, which soon greatly relieved ail of then except the two youngest daughters, Misses Maggie and Isouie.
