A shooting affray occurred at Crawfordsville on Monday last between David Henderson and William Dickenson, which resulted in the wounding of the the former, seriously, if not fatally. No les* that* seventeen buckshot lodged in his body, and it is thought hardly possibly that he can recover. Dickerson has made good his escape.

House Bill appropriating fcLSO.Cfto

for the completion, of the Stale-INiinial School Building, is thespeoial orafc* in the House to-morrow at 10 A. M. We canno* believe there is a member of the General Assembly who does not know that just such an appropriation ought to be made. That sum, and not a dollar less, will .b? required to complete the building acdotdiog to the plan adopted by the Legifl*-. ture, and which has been pursued in its construction thus far, so far indeed that any essential modification is not iMlely impracticable, but impossible. AoJ practical builder will assure the Legislature that the money which has already been expended on tho structure has been expended to the best advantage. ThefO is not. a firm or private individual in the State who could have produced better results by tho outlay of tho same amount of money. These are admitted facts, and the question to bo decided i3 simply this: Will the State, through its authorized Bgent, the Legislature, keep its faith with tbe city of Terre Haute We cannot doubt that it will.

The otbor day a large burr oak, five feet in diameter, was felled an the fann of M. M. Milford, up the river, »nd when the old monarch of the forest came down •with a crash, a red fox sprang from tho center of the tree and changed his quarters in great haste. The tree was perfectly sound on the outside, but contained sin opening in the center about eight inches in diameter, and extending upward »bout six feet. How the live foxgoHn there was "f course a mystery, until investigation revealed a hole burrowecj in tbe earth some ten feet distant ftom^6hef tree, which was Mr. Reynard's doorway to his substantial rosidence. How thja fox know that by working underground lie would reach a tree which any woodman would have pronounced perfectly sound, is a matter we shall not attempt to explain, because we can't do it. But this alone establishes Reynard's reputation for sagacity, without further evidence.—Attica

Thb registry law is likely to be very materially amended. Much of its cum* berous and expensive machinery will probably bo done away with, and anew feature will be introduced which is designed to show by whom each ballot is cast. This will be effected by requiring the inspector to put -on -oach trailotTT!r& number opposite the name (as it stands on the list) of the person offering it. No honest man can find fault with this, but It will be a scorcher for scoundrels:

Before anyone was aware of the danger, the fianes had got beyond control. The corpse was carried into the street and it wm then remembered that a little boy, aged about ten months, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Reed, was asleep up stairs, having been placed Were "by his mother a short time before the fire. Every ef fort Was made to rescue the little onebut in vain. The remains of the child were afterwards found, burned until they were no larger than a man's hand, and buried with Mr. Samuel Reed's wife.— Nothing was saved from the house.

Nkw York, Feb. 13 —A Rio Janeiro! letter of Dec. 29tb, two "days later thanj previous advices, states that Admiral Davis with his floet and the two prison.! ers. had arrived at Buenos Ayres.

He expressed himself satisfied with the explanation made by Lopep, and believes' that Washburne, Bliss and MsBterman were all engaged in a conspiracy to overthrow the Paraguayan government.

Tbe remnant of Lopez's army was still at Augustura, Luque being at present his seat of government.

Aid to Cuba.

Nkw YoRf. Feb. 13.—A special from Jacksonville, Fla, of the 12th says, for some time past a number of Cuban gentlemen have been in the city un^er suspicious circumstances.

On the 7th inst., they chartered the steamer Henry Burden, giving out that she was bound for Nassau.

About tbe same time a steamer arrived from Charleston laden with coail and hauled along side the Henry Burden.

The work of emptying We coal into tho latter vessel was immediately commenced and continued all night, after which she went to sea having eleared for Narsau.

It is pretty well known that the Burden has a quantity of arms and other munitions of war on board, and 'that large sums of money have Been offered for volunteers to ship on board of her. ca-

There is no doubt that the vessel is bound for Cuba to enlist in the service ot the insurgents,

The reason for this, Gen.

Mr. Hooper, from same com&ittee^fFe-! ported a bill prohibiting national banks certifying checks, where they have not deposits of the parties' covering the amount certiflod passed.

Mr. Barnes, from the same committee, reported a bill to prevent national banks loaning money in United States, notes on I coin, national bank notes as collateral! security. S {§Mr. Barnes explained the object of the: bill, which is to prevent loaning of money, and thus making a corner in the! money market.

After some discussion and alteration of the verbiage the bill passed. Mr. Judd, frQmJsame committee, reported. a bill to regulate the method of converting gold into currency. He Baid: a tiiH had been reported last Satuxda^ from the Committee on Ways and Means containing two of the" sections of his bill, and two additional provisions, and he was willing to have that bill galled up instead of his own:,

That being agreed to. "Mr. Hoopei? called up the bfllre^Sr&d'by him to prohibit further increase of the public debtJ

On motion of Mr.. Ju^d the, follow in section was added:- I f' Section B. And be W^urt^er enacfed,' That from and after the pasSage of thi^ act, all sales of gold on account of the United States, shall be made at publio auction, by a proper officer of the Treasa* ry Department, after giving three days public notice of the time and place wh^rd such sales shall be made, by advertisitig the same for at least three days.

Mr. Judd stated he found £rom the re^ port of the Secretary of the Treasury that $263,031 had been paid by the gov* ernmont as commissions on sales of gold and silver sioce it first commenced to sell

Pomeroy, frftm same committer reported back the Senate bill supplemealary to the National Banking bill of Julie 3, 1884, with various amendments.

Mr. GrisKOld—The-amendments having been raid, and as they were import" ant and Were not printed, the House should not be called upon to dispose of them without seeini^them in,print.

Mr. Pomeroy said he would submit to that proposition, but would first state the objects of the amendments.

The first section of the Senate bill was confined entirely to tbe provision of section 45 of tbe present banking act, relating to depositors of public money. It is made a penal offense for any officer of a! bank to offer li consideration for procuring deposits of public money, and for any public officer to accept such consideration.

The

i!fS?6rW3f'e*^ction

of the Senate bill

was an amendment to section 42 of the present act, relating to the liquidation .of banking associations.

The third section provides for sealfng the existing banking associations in order to provide twenty.flve millions of currency to bq. distributed, one-half among Southern Stales and the Other half among the Western States and Territory that have not had their proper share .,..$ 1

Mr. Butler criticised the provisions' of the section relative to liquidation of banks that are to be wound up,and tbe provision that bonds on deposit are to be sold for the redemption of outstanding currency, and greenbacks substituted for the bonds as security.

Mr. Higbee observed there was no profit in discussing the bill now, when it was not printed, and suggested the bill be recommitted and Ordered printed

Mr. Pomeioy proferred to have some discussion on the section as to tbe winding up of National Banks, instancing t&e case of the MerohaatA and Mechanics Banba, of Troy, New York, which changed its character-from a National to a State .Bank, thus avoiding responsibilities to which 1t was subject under the Katioeal Banking act.

Mr. Pruyn said thalaw authorized that to be done. Mr. Price said that was the reason why the law should be changed. He proposed that banks should he compelled to get out of the National banking system by the same door they entered.

Mr. Pruyn wanted to 'know what difference it made to the Government. Mr. Priqe said tlie difference wm, the Qorenuaant if* the tax on deposits.
