GEN. JOHN SCOTT, who is not exactly the "oldest inhabitant," but is noted for his predictions in regardto Indian Summer, lias for several days previous to this cold snap, been watching for Squaw Winter, and Fays this is the heaviest Squaw lie,ever knew: HiVpredictiijrPis that Indian Summer will soon follow and will be balmy and prolonged in proportion to the severity of this snap.

AN OLD PIONEER PREACHER—Rev. Richard Hargrave, Presiding Elder ofthis conference, prcachcd in the Centenary Church yesterday morning,quarterly meeting being in progress. He first preached in this city forty-Sve years ago, in a small log house. Daring the sermon, he alluded to many interesting reminiscences, and stated that he did not see a single face that was in his audience forty-five years ago. Just think of it, nearly a half century in Gospel harness.

THE Street Railway Company is now repairing its track along Main street— which was much needed. This, the principal street of our city does not comport with a city with the pretentions of Terre Haute, and should be permanently improved at an early day. It is perhaps, too late this season to talk about it, but as we wade through the mud this winter the Council and property holders along the street should seriously consider what should be done before another season of mud and slosh.

JAMES FORBES, Esq., of Chicago, the artist who recently painted the portraits of ex-Governors Whitcomb aud Dunning, at Evansville, and who has painted some forty other portraits in that city, was-at the Terre Haute House, yesterday, and left on the early train for Indianapolis, this morning, where he will paint the portrait of Gov. Morton. This reproduction of gubernatorial physiognomies is intended for the State Gallery, in accordance with an act of the last Legislature.

STABBING AFFRAY.—At Macksville, on Saturday morning David Ekus stabbed James Waburton in. the neck, causing no material damage. Ekus had a hearing before Esq. Smith and was fined five dollars with costs. The provocation was Wabuton calling Ekus a liar. The latter afterwards filed a complaint before the Mayor against Waburton for provoking an assault. The complaint, however, was not in proper form, and before another could be prepared, the provoker provokingly proceeded to propel his person from the municipal portals, and could not aftewards be found. He had previously been fined in the Mayor's court for disorderly conduct in attempting to .fight after lie came to town.

THE SNOW—THE POOR.—On Saturday morning our city awoke to find that while we slept during the quiet hours of the night, the snow king had been silently at work dressing the earth, the trees, the shrubbery in robes of bridal purity, alas to be too soon tarnished and soiled by contact with grosser and less beautifnl things—the fate of all beauty and purity, whether of mind or matter, in this world of ours. Early risers witnessed the full beauty of the scene. The trees, hardly shorn of their leaves, as each intertwining limb and branch bent beneath the unexpected coating, exhibited in their adorning, the handi-work of the snow artist, scarcely less beautiful than .the recent fall dress of green June robes, amid which the birds sang and twitterd, and the bees hummed and gathered nectar.

It was a strikingly strange contrast, and as we looked out upon the cold yet beautiful scene, we could not help thinking of the many poor families in the city who had hot made, in fact were not able to make any preparation for the sudden and unexpected change. It is at such a time as this that the poor feel most bitterly and hopelessly all the privations and deep distress of poverty. It is not alone the outcast, the homeless vagrant, the unworthy and worthless drunkard, who feel the pinching, biting cold through their thin and tattered garments, and the knawing hunger of their empty stomachs but many a worthy household, the children of the bereaved widow, whose industrious hands* fail to earn enough to keep the stove warm and the table supplied with the coarsest fare, and the families of those who by misfortune, the failure of employment, or the fearful hand of sickness, are unable to provide against the severities of the season. These are the ones who suffer most, not alone from cold and hunger, but from that most intense of mental sufferings, the shame of honest poverty. It is such as these that should receive the earnest attention of those good men and women, (and to the credit of onr people be it said, they area vast number in this city) who are always ready to alleviate sufferings if they only knew how to do it to advantage. It happens, however, that in default of this knowledge, their generous desires are frequently defeated, and their benefactions too often wasted on those who deserve it least. Some united effort should be immediately set on foot to alleviate the pressing wants of the deserving poor. The Ladies Aid Society has, heretofore taken tlie lead in this matter, assisted for many years by the Grand Army of the Republic *and the Soldiers' Relief Association. These two latter have ceased to exist, and the only organization now in operation is that of the Ladies Aid Society. We are not ad--vised what ,its plan of operations are for the winter. We feel confident that in addition to the munificent endowment of our worthy townsman, Mr. Rose, that any proper call on our people will be promptly responded to. As a starter, wouldn't a festival on an extensive scale in order? Now is the time to strike, when all hearts are open to generous w, 1 emotions.

Tttvmcrp. morning a card from CtmBriffinian Dowling, called out it seems by an "if' in our heading to the resolutions offered by himselfat the last Council meeting. On the question of economy in municipal afiairs, there can be no quarrel.^ Every tax-paj-ej^iBU iejjoice rtfpgr fcra deduction of the-presfent Jhedv^' tffbills. It is only to the proper mode of arriving at this much desired end that there may be an honest difference of opinion.

Col. Dowling says resolutions"were "offered in good faith" and we have IK 'reason to foubtth5 integiityf^f&tis |Mpose! but will these stringent rules have the desired effect According to these rules no accounts are hereafter to be contracted—except in extreme cases by the fire department—unless first sanctioned by the Council,estimates to be made in advance every three months, as to the amount of money to be expended in each department. Is this practical and 14ft %o be accomplished? We are indited to the opinion that our city fathers will find this a difficult matter in mapy cases. How can, for instancy, the. committee on streets and bridges ever approximate th£ 3"motiTit necessary to be expended for three months ahead, for the improvement of our streets, much less arrive at the real amount? There are so many contingencies'that may arise, that we take it the committee will find it next to an impossibility to provide for in their quarterly estimates. Unless our councilr rhen are determined to adopt a polic}^ to expend so much and no more on our streets, and that too, by only pacing the laborers on the same the sum of one dollar and fifty cents a day, when railroads and other, people are paying fagwj ctbllars, we confeSs we do^npt utid^ sfa^d hfe" tb&$ estimates cln 1)6.:maStle^

Ih no way can the money received from the tax-payers be more appropriately expended than in the improvement of our streets. Will it be possible for the conj-» mittee to count the numerous niiid-holel which are an eye-sore to our city, and to a cent calculate in advance the cost? Wei are of the opinion they cannot.

We rather think our snoreous Mayor (vide Ltd. Mirror) will find it a difficult matter to estimate how many brooms will be necessary to keep the offices swept clean for each and every quarter, how many boxes of matches will be needed, and how mnch paper and ink for each department and many other things absolutely necessary for the officials to have. If he is allowed a certain sum in advance, is he compelled to expend it, whetherjhe needs the articles or not, and whatsis to prevent him from so doing in case some contingency should arise by which the same shallnot Wneeded. '1

In the fire department, no doubt, estimates* can be mad& so as to approximate the amount^ necessary to be expended.— There are so many horses to feed, so many firemen, so many engineers, drivers, &c., to be paid. In this department there is little or no variation, and as this is a big item in our expenditures it isboih* proper and practical that quarterly estimates be made of the amount necessary to, be expended.' '.

But, as first asked, is the mode adopted by the Council the best practical one to curtail expenses and guard the city treasury? We think not.

It is the custom of the Council to trans act all business, and at the last moment, when Councilmen are tired, perhaps sleepy, and anxious to go home, the accounts are called, and go through with a rush. Now, were our Councilmen to take more interest in the ftrife •presented to them for allowance, and use more care and circumspection in regard to them—instead of looking to future allowances—they would be taking a step in the riglit direction. Instead of leaving the bills to be acted upon as the last business upon the table, they should act upon them as the first thing in order after the reading and approving of the minutes. The Journal of Saturday states that:

At the Council meeting Tuesday night a prominent member of that body stated that the tax levy on the duplicate would not yield sufficient revenue to pay the expenses of the city for the current year

The collections on the duplicate will probably reach §50,000. This large sum is to ,be considered and disbursed in twen-ty-four regular meetings of the Council It is too large a sum to be left to the sleepy hours of these twenty-four meet ings. Let the accounts hereafter come first

fin

order. Let every bill be thor

oughly scrutinized before acting upon it, and if not satisfied with the justness of the charge or the necessity of the expen diture, let it be referred to the appropriate committee, to be fully and carefully inquired into, and if it is not proper, let the Council refuse to pay the same. If any officer or committee has incurred a needless.or extravagant expenditure and the Council refuses to pay the same, that officer or committee will be very carefiil in the future how it uses the city's credit. In this way much good may ba accomplished, and it is certainly a more practical plan than has been adopted.

Let the Street Commissioner be required to make out a full report of the work performed by him—the number of men and days employed, as also teams. Let each one employed by him be required to present his account duly sworn to before the Mayor, before the same shall be allowed and paid. As this is the second, if not the first in cost to'the city, how is necessary it that the utmost safeguards should be thrown around fit. We do not make these remarks because we doubt the integrity of our worthy Street Commissioner, but because they are practical and proper.

Let our city legislators deal in large matters, as they should. Let them strike at the root, and then will the enormous drafts on the treasury, which are constantly growing larger and larger, be reduced. As stated in the commencement of this article, which has been extended further thair intended, we, nor no one else, have any quarrel with the Council on the score of economy—it is only the manner of going about it. In our humble opinion the Council is putting *'tlie cart before the horse."

BENEFITS OF ADVERTISING. The Painesville Telegraph tells the following tory: "A Cleveland gentleman "Informed us last week of his experience in advertising. Two years ago he was interested in the sale of anew patent material of general utility. He commenced by spending $200 in two weeks for advertising—and that two hundred dollars brought him S7,000 of business in about three weeks. He then sold out to other parties who were too careful to spend money for so usdless a purpose as advertising, and in a few months the business sunk to *ero, and they began to whine, and scold and make accusations against the original party.— He plainly accused them of not knowing how to do business, and then made them a proposition by which they were enabled to get their money back, or he was to receive nothing for h"is services.^ They accepted the proposition. He immediately resumed the work of advertising heavily—spent $3,000 in that way and in less than seven months their business amounted to $14,000.

He was a thorough convert to the advantages of advertising any and every kind ofliusiness. if you wish to make it pay. "Printer's ink "is the great motive power of business." So sav all who have tried it."

rat ABOUT THE TRIBULATIOK8 OF A BREACEtCFCAY cotnnrr AND THE "KIGG£B."

A fortnight since otir last and yet thel situation, is rtfeiWs UM?"iliBfa"Vstrike," is unchanged. The diggers remain obdurate. »The proprieties stand and

suiiiption of wort is appartfatly distant as ever. The whole fraternity of miners in the coal region is in strong sympathy apd is doing all it can to aid and abet the refractory ones. It is the r* mony of the inanagert that the'fbtce St work at the am**! Owstrike has not extent*-xl, have jmly been doing half work the past two months. The aim seems td be t® sii&pfy do ehiugli lo Yeipin their situations, while the stock of coaljs being rapidly exhausted and tie furnaces are obliged to accede to the demand or "blowout."

The miners at the new shaft of the Indianapolis Rolling Mill Company, near Harmoriy, ftime out last Tuesday morning in full Jbree tod d«ftnkntled jffi!a^arifce of fifteen cents per ton. The demand not being complied with they returned to work thirty days longer, at the end of ^rhich.time they .will ij^f^ddi-, fional fifteen cents is not allowed. iJy a special contract the employes of this company are r-reqnped, W ^v^ ^thiFiy~days noting betefe quitting un3er penalty of

forfeiture of all pay duethem. The com pany on the other, hand Cannot discharge ajman under the same thirty days notice. The system vorks welVsBd ooght to prevail to a greater extent. {The Western Iron Company will "blow out" their second farnace in a few days a pc of be iS hausted and to'do some necessary repairs. There will then be but a single furnace (the Planet) of the five hereabouts in blast.

The puddlers in the .employ ofjj^ Wes'tetn Iron Vbidptay "struck* Wednesday, and the Rolling Mill is now on a stand still.

In a previous letter brief mention was made of "ministerial tribulations," and partienlar attention wru5 Called te the case of Rev. Montgomery, .whose short sojourn and hasty exit from his assigned

Id of labor had been a matter ^f surto many. The facts are about as. follows. At the recent general conference of the M. E. Church for this district the gentleman we mention was assigned to fill several appointments—includiug Harmony, Staunton and two other points. He arrived at Harfnofty on the- 4l o'clock p. M. train accompanied by. his wife and other "fixins" and being an entire stranger began at once making inquiries of the brethren ahd endeavoring to find a stopping pltfce. TTis first appearand^ #as not encouraging, and the shades of night had began to gather ere he found a place to rest his leeary fy#d.'

He was occupied the few succeeding days of his stay in canvassing the appointments, but met with little or no encouragement. But Harmony was yet to 'be heard from', a town of some five hundred inhabitants and surrounded by a thickly populated country. What might he not expect? There were five saloons in the town -ropportiHg ten men, aa maiiy women, and forty chUdjren,-«m?bhe- WQudbd be the only preacher. Here seemed to. be a good opening. A special meeting of the Honorable Board of Trustees was called. The proposition^ before-the meeting was, "How much can we pay the brother to keep our flock in charge t" The entire sum to be raised as finally agreed upo^ was $30C(-.-TT-The different appointments to contribute pro rata in making up the amount. The quoto of Harmony was $140. The next important question was, "where shall the brother be quartered?" It was finally decided with the approbation of the.whqle assembly, tlfat he should take 'tip a residence with a certain needy family and where a woman's help was required. By this arrangement the minister's wife was to work in part payment of their board. This was more than the Rev. gentleman couldj^thEtand afi^hjp'^et^fpfiirfjfo MSI the flo go to the—wejf, 1 con McK-—: in the fttifnessv%f Ms nfeartf handed the preacher a to pay his way home and the meeting adjourned.. Rev. Harrison, Mr. Mohtgoriiery'a itaid^iiate predecessor, was to be paid $300 for the year but his collections did not aggregate $lO0,«U-told«"

Clay county never offered a hospitable footing to the "irrepressible nigger."— There area few—a very few—in Brazil, and, perhaps, a couple at-Bowljng Green, but that is all. A manufacturer at Staunton, recently imported a negro from Terre Haute, to fire and run an engine, but he was only aJ^weeH£4iy as the* prdjh ife'bf Shad

sen

tween two days, to save his scalp. But one attempt has ever been made to acclimate and colonize the?! ''nigger/' at Harmony. Something more than a year ago, a saloon-keeper named Shaffer, more money-loving than amalgamation-fear-ing. imported- an of gJade^ view of starting an opposition barber shop, but the project not meeting with general, approval, a notice wa3, publiq^y served on the negro that the sun could not shine on him another morn, in Harmony,.^ likp Jthe instance at Staunton, he "lil o'ut" in the daflcn^ss.' Ociasron 1 ally a pedestrian negro is seen passing along the railroad through these little towns, and it irf modt amusing to see the whole population turn but to gaze upon the weary unfortunate. The Fifteenth Amendment is adding intensity to the already great horror connected with the idea bf amalgamation. The presence of a negro is considered as? infectious to a white skin, ks t&B'la$or«i ymt artesian water to a silver watch.

Dan Deitz, who about a year ago was sentenced to the penitentiary several vearsfor cutting his wife's throat, was back here attending the last term of the Circuit Court. He was allowed ftil! liberty, and was probably the most "lionized" of any man at the court. Everybody seemed glad to see him. Even thb?e %ho had been his chief persecutors seemed determined to" rival in courtesies. HeTs said to have been a very good man when out of liquor. A good deal of sympathy runs in his favor and it is not unlikely that he will shortly he reprieved.

His wife, whose virtue is questioned, married a worthless character very soon afterward, and this incident has had much to 0o whhthe jpnblic sympathy .j—/ She has within a few weeks mifted withf her second husband. Deitz claims that the throat cutting was an accident That he was engaged picking his teeth with the knife when his wife fell against it.

Card from Col. Dowling.

ME. EDITOR: You "will "BE glad to be answered that the resolutions introduced into the Council, oh Tuesday night last, looking to a more thdtOugh system of economy in municipal expenses, were intended "in good faithj" and that there are no reasons apparent for the doubts which your "if" would imply. If they fail to produce good effects, it will be no fault of mine, or the majority of Council

For many years, it has been the practice to naake our City elections a kind of partizan triunlpli ofl one side or the other and, when the end was accomplished, the^SSoReesful party lets things drift along in the old channf^Thi®- is" a trifling with the public iitiferesit, and a forgetfulness of what is due- to the city and her people. The clamor for "economy" be foie an election tob-often subsides after it, and those most oloq&ent ih advocating a cheap city government, loose their zeal for economy —when it touches their own pockets, orthat of their particular friends. This is a kind of hypocrisy so transparentrt^rat it .will not long shjekh them from exposure.

The reason which induced the intro duction.of .the 4th rule was this: There are four newspapers published in this city, all of them of more or less general circulation. It has been the object of the present Council to have the Ordinances of the city published in them all, so that every class of our people could be inform ed of .the doings of that body. This is found to be very expensive, and the ex penditure so large that a retrenchment is absolutely necessary. Believing that the public interest would be promoted by giving these advertisements to all the papers of the city, and knowing that liberal terms are accorded, in other, cities, by publishers, it was supposed that this might be done here. Whether this view is be adopted, it is not for the Council to de cide. That question belongs ,to you and other publishers of Terre Haute.
