Grading upon the line at Clinton and Newport is going forward. The road passes through an unusually level country. We learn that the highest grade along the line is only twenty-six feet, which is much less than any road coming into this city. The stockholders are promptly and cheerfully paying the first assessment of ten per cent., and every preparation is being made for energetic work along the entire line early next season.

REMEMBER THE POOR.—Those who have a comfortable home, a cheerful fire, a well spread table, a good warm bed in which to sleep, should be thankful to Him who vouchsafes them such blessings, and they should prove their thankfulness by remembering the thousands and tens of thousands of their fellow creatures who are blessed with these comforts. It is the duty of every one, no matter how poor he may be, to open his puree and give as God has given, of his means. Go to your closets and wardrobes and see whether you cannot find a coat, or pantaloons, a dress garment of some kind which you can spare without any inconvenience. In thousands of families there are half worn shoes which are cast aside. Hunt them up. They will serve, perhaps, to keep some poor woman or some shivering child from acute' suffering. Have you no old stockings, which, with a little darning would help to keep the feet of some destitute person a little warm at least? Get them at once, repair them, and send them, together with anything else you may have to spare which will serve to keep out cold or banish hunger, to the Ladies' Aid Society, or to some worthy aftd needy family of your acquaintance.

Do this and your fire will burn all the brighter for years. The laughter of your childrea will be doubly pleasant to you. Your slumbers will be more peaceful, and He frho suffers no good action to go unrewarded, will smile approvingly on you. "It is more blessed to give than toj receive," and he that remembereth the poor will be remembered in the great day of accounts. •'Remember the poor when tho hearthstone is

A gentleman going- down Main street, observed a fussy little dog in frontof a Atore, shivering in the cold, and manifesting by certain unmistakable signs that the situation didn't suit him.

It was a little act, but it betokens a good heart. He had no acquaintance with the dog, and had nothing to expect from liim, yet he did him a favor for. the simple sake oi doing good to a fellow creature.

A MUSICAL llBAfm

"The Haymakers"—By *ttie Xniipentfert Stetfln?^ 1 Communicated.]

With the beginning of this century came the introduction of the Epoch of of Song in this coontry. Or, to speak with more accuracy, at the close of the last century, and during the administration of Washington,|Incledor, the great English tenor, appeared at Philadelphia and widened the popular ideas as to song. It is only within a few years past, however, that the science of mnsic has made such progress as to be generally regarded as a hopeful sign of advancing civilization. In Italy and many of the Germanic States, while the people have been sadly wanting in many elements of practical and substantial prosperity, they have'in social and home life given much attention to instrumental and vocal music. While we would encourage them to build their political edifice on the deep and solid foundation of our Religion, Education, and Civil freedom, we would not ignore nor, be ungrateful for that Esthetic culture, and especially for 'that impetus in the science of music, for which we are their debtors. Certainly as to the four styles of musical composition,—church, operatic, conceit and drawing room music —we as a nation are rising to a higher plane. More of our people sing—many more sing well, than in a former genera' tion. And, as in all our public schools music is taught as a science, our young people will be able to read music as read ily as they speak their mother tongue.

These thoughts were suggested, Mr. Editor, by the .musical treat given us last Evening in Dowlings Hall, by the "Independent Singing Club" of the city, in rendering the "Haymakers"—a Cantata by G. F. Root. If this celebrated Composer had never created any other piece but this, it is euough to give him immortalily. He has certainly here, out done himself. Indeed there are very few things in the musical world, that can be popularized, affording a finer "varietv of the very best stytes, changing from grave to gay—from the soberest and simplest Church music to the involved and dramatic—passing easily from the natural to the Chromatic scale—than Uiis same Cantata of the Haymakers.

As the name indicates, the piece grows out of scenes connected with the haymaking season in the country. It covers the incidents of two days, and was rendered last evening to a full house, with appropriate costumes, scenery, and the usual implements of the hayfield. The Club did not propose, neither was it expected of them, to carry out the full idea of a dramatic performance, after the manner of a professional operatic troupe, but simply to perform the cantata with such accompanyments on the stage as would make an intelligent and acceptable rendering.

The crowing of the cock, the early warbling of birds—the plaintive song of the whippoorwill—the imperative notes of the katy-did—the veritable old horn calling tbe hands to dinner, and the home made thunderstorm, were suffi ciently like unto nature to aid materially in the dramatic representation.

Parts of the entertainment were exceedingly fine, and the affair, taken as a whole, gave very general satisfaction, and reflects credit on all the performers. We have been present at a good many concerts, but nothing, by way of amateur per formance ever struck us as being better— if so well done. All seemed to be very much at home and "tread the boards" with Bometing of the freedom and spirit of "old stagers." We feel under obligations to them one and all. Some little apprehension had been felt and expressed, lest a company of ladies and gentlemen all unaccustomed to farm life, many of them never having witnessed real haymaking, would be qui.'e awkward, if not a good deal at fault, in the practical rendering of those portions of the cantata where the use of Scythe, fork, and rake was necessary. But they demeaned themselves admirably.*

Especially was this manifest in that part of the piece which represent the closing up of the first day's labor where Anua leads off in her fine contralta "Come follow while gayly we rake up the hay." Of course, Snipkins, represented by P. S. Westfall, exhibited the expected awkwardness of a city gent, who for the first time attempts to swing a scythe. His whole attempt was laughable in the extreme. We should not have chosen a position immediately in his |front or rear, had he been armed with a sharp implement. Altogether Mr. Westfall deserves great credit for his very natural and enthusiastic rendering of the part of Snip. lrina His "Fireman's Song" and serenade to"Katy" were splendidly done—and his "Set to" with the wasps absolutely brought down the house.

The ten ladies and gentlemen to whom the exist of characters had been assigned and who where especially prominent in Recitative and Duett, exhibited}! cultivation of voice and accuracy of execution which met with hearty appreciation and applause. Such amateur performers, in the main disarm all criticism, yet we are sure they will agree with us that their renderings of this admirable cantata would have been greatly facilitated by a more vigorus accentuation and a more distinct enunciation.

The audience .seemed specially to appreciate. The audience seemed to appreciate specially the duett, "Sweet morn how lovely is thy face," by Mrs. Strong and Miss Early, and Mrs. Strong's solo, "The birds have sought the forest shade," &c.

The chorus, "The farmer's welcome call—come to dinner," met with favor, as did the "Dairy Maid," by Mrs. Mary Farrington.

The echo song was well rendered, and Mrs. Fannie Ryce was emphatically encored on her beautiful solo, "Scenes of happiness I lwe you."

The solo by Mrs. Nippert, and the semichorus, "All nature now rejoices," met with a warm reception.

The storm scene, which is quite difficult to render well, beginning with the words "shrouded is the sun" accompanied with a full chorus and the beautiful quartette "Yet fear not we" which was admirably sung—was in our judgement, *1 together the finest portion of the whole Cantata. It was alone well worth the price of the ticket. As this impressive storm scene ends, a curtain rises from behind, and reveals a rainbow arching the clouds in the distance, with torrent and farm house in the foreground—a capital sketch made for the occasion by Mr. Luther Hagcr, and for which he certainly has our thanks—inasmuch as it greatly added to the effect of the rainbow chorus which immediaty followed.

W. H. Paige, the able musical director in this eutertainment, has shown great assiduity and patience in training so "independent', a club, and may well congratulate himself on the success of last evening.

On our own responsibility—and we beg her pardon-for this public allusion—we tender acknowledgments to Miss Jewett, the pianist, for the beauty, approprianese and Vf)rj«ty of her i&prov ftcwgtfQjyt

menta, «Ueh general effect of the Cantata. Whenever and wherever the Independent Singing Clab shall render the Haymakers, may we be there to seel.

A LOVER or GOOD Musia

Spiritualism.

In response to "Investigator," whose attempt to expose what ig claimed to be Spirit manifestations, as only a masterpiece of deception, as published in your issue of the 2d inst., I shall hope to labor for that only which I conceive to be truth.

The details of what took place at the seance, when the alleged expose was perpetrated, are substantially true, but the deductions drawn therefrom, are what I shall endeavor to controvert. Facts are stubborn things, and are not to be explained away by any amount of theory, however plausible it may appear at first sight

This "tomfool" knot is not objected to because it is impossible to untie it, but because of the great amount of power it uses up, required for other work. The writer, and many other witnesses, are ready to testify that the most skillful knots, and closely drawn, have been untied, but always under protest, for the above reasons.

The objections to a square knot, by the skeptic is that, by a certain twist of the wrist, the knot becomes two half hitches, or slip-knot which may be]! enlarged so that the hand can be withdrawn all of which, if the writts are not drawd too closely together, is admissible. But there is one fact that must not be overlooked. The knots when once reduced to two half hitches, can not, by any possible twist, or strain, of the wrist, be restored to a square knot. It will not do to assert that, when the hand is withdrawn, it is then free to adjust the knots, for if they were restored to their proper form, and to the size of the wrist, the free hand which did it could not be replaced.

The printer's ink trick was not "humilating" to the few spiritualist who were present on that occasion, and annoying only in as much as it interfered with the work of the seance. The trick is not new in its conception the same has been done with other mediums in the Eastern States, and by careftil investigation and experiment, jointly by a committee of spiritualist and skeptics, it was decided, and so published by their authority, that, any coloring matter placed upon the person of the medium, the hand for instance, if this member be materialized, the stain is also conveyed or materialized. On the other hand, if printer's ink or like sub stance be placed upon any object, and the materialized hand comes in contact therewith so as to become also stained, and when the hand is again disolved it at once returns, with the stain, to the hand from which it was materialized. With this view, the mystery which overhangs this part of our subject is solved, so far as we are capable of understanding the chemical laws brought to bear upon this wonderful manifestation of spirit power.

The ink in the medium's hand was shown on the materialized hand, from which it was conveyed to the mouth piece of the whistle. The whole form being materialized, the ink was transfered from the whistle to the materialized lips, and from thence, as just explained, disolved back-to the lips of the medium.

For the truth of this view of the subjeet we challenge investigation. Truth cannot be crushed permanently to earth, and is, under all circumstances worthy of our most careful search. As this suggestion is offered in good faith, let there be a committee chosen of Gentlemen and Ladies, to consist of an equal number of spiritualists and skeptics—not from such as take sides only with a view to victory, who were never known to yield a point, as Santa Anna said of the Indiana Boys in blue, "dont know when they are whip ped," but those who love truth, wherever found, however damaging it may be to long cherishcd and popular opinions. The material for such an investigation is at home, atad the people are ready for instruction upon these scientific questions

Investigator's theory for the manner of removing the sack is so very unreasonable, that one's organ of credulity must be more severely taxed in its embrace than it would be by belieying that "there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than is drempt of in our philosophy."— If we assert that these things are done by human hands, (such a feat as removing the sack cannot be classed amongst slight of hand performance—having the appearance of reality and is not), we are obliged to acknowledge that the work is done by the voluntary agency of the medium, or else by some agency outside of her phy ical powers.. Now, Investiyalor, in cla...::ng the former theory, has not only the :.icts agaist him, that no professed juggler or performer of ledgerdemain has ever yet been able to satisfactorily imitate these manifestations, even when allowed all the paraphernalia of his profession, and further, that they are only performed by avowed spiritualists—those who he would fain have the world believe are crazy fanatics and fools—and this too, without any machinery about their persons or surroundings to aid them, but his theory has nothing to recommend it but that the thing is done, and hence there must be some way to do it and it will never do to attribute it to the work of disembodied human beings. It is truly sad to reflect upon how much materialism there is yet existing among mankind, after eighteen hundred years of Christian labor, and how everything spiritual which appeals to our senses as rational beings—stripped of the

miraculous and its total dependence upon blind faith, is ignored and hunted down by the Christian world.

To claim that the medium can untie the tape, melt the wax, take off the sack, retie the tape and restore the wax so nearly to its original form that the difference, if any, cannot be seen even by the most scrutinizing, and this within a dark cabinet, in which .she has also the duty to perform of almost constantly sounding the whistle and bells, is simply absurd. From whence came the heat spoken of to melt the wax was it a common match The burning of a single match in that small apaartment for such purpose would have been detected by the committee instantly On opening the door.

r,v'

On last evening the visitor was present at another seance of this medium, at which there were about forty persons, mostly men. There was but little done in the cabinet manifestations, so. little indeed, that it was considered almost an entire failure, and at about 91 o'clock the assembly dispersed, receiving their money back as they passed out.

The reason for this failure was obviously owing entirely to the disturbed mind of the medium. During the day she had read the article of Investigator, wherein she is changed with nimble fingered dexterity, legerdemain and the perpetration of a transparent fraud with surreptitious, ly obtaining the signs, tokens, grips and work of several secret orders (how very probable) and a call upon the press and the public to frown down and denounce the practice of such deceptive acts.

Such charges and anathemas would not set very comfortably on older heads, much l«5s upon this young and sensitive orphan" girl, *1)93* WPfrft Mi feff

herself into the' hands of the~

Angel world as an instrument through -whom they are enabled to offer new and more satisfactory proofs that the accounts given in the Bible of spirit presence and Angel visitants, without which that book would not be worth its weight in rags so fkr'as there would be any proof left therein of man's immortality, is not a myth, and that the power of spirits to communicate with their friends of earth is as certain as of old and a thousand times more frequent. Can we expect less opposition, however, are not men the same everywherefand at all times Was not the living Christ rejected, reviled and crucified because he claimed a more direct communion with God and the spirit world?

Yes, and had certain

oned-^itizens

Terre Haute of coure always excepted— lived in that day they would have been ready with pen, if not with printer's ink, to but I forbear, and ask, what does this failure of iast evening provejust thej reverse of that which Investigator would have it. All the attendent circumstances demanded that the seance be a success. The receipts at the door would have been quite an item to the medium, and the necessity, after what had already transpired, of giving as satisfactory manifestations as had been previously given, make it a legitimate deduction that, had the medium have had the power in her own hands the" audience would not hay 9 gone away disappointed.

In conclusion.let me s$y that the seances will be continued in a more quiet way and with fewer spectators until the medium becomes stronger in her spiritual development, and more used to combating persistent antagonisms. Those wishing, therefore, for more light in this direction will call on Dr. Pence, who will sell a limted .number of tickets for each seance.— This will give a better opportunity for thorough investigation, draw less upon the powers of the medium and all can have a sitting as time and circumstances

MR. LOCAX.: I would like to know what you think about ladies going to concerts, lectiires, &c., without escorts. Does gentility require that we must miss any good entertainment merely because no lord of creation condescends to. ask us to go with him? And don't it look well enough for two ladies to go together?

BECKY JANE.

Most assuredly you have a right to attend any place of public entertainment even if no patronizing spooney asks you to go with him. And for our part we never could see why two ladies entering a concert room do not look as well as does one young lady led in by some big awkward fellow—who very often is a man only so far as wearing men's clothes is concerned. If you pay your fifty cents and want togoi you have just as much right to go and hear the "Haymakers" to-night, or any other respectable entertainment at any time, without a man tagging after you, as you have to go shopping without such an appendage—and no one will think the less of you for it. Some of your female friends are just as good an escort and very often better in every respect than threefourths of the beaus who butterfly back and forth between you and the saloons.

MR. EDITOR: I have heard of President Lincoln's, Johnson's, and Grant's Cabinets being reconstructed but to-day, we hear of the S. & P., and T. A. M. Cabinet, the locality of which is on the south west corner of the public square. If all which I hear is true, I think the same will have to be immediately reconstruct--ed, and I would recommend an abundance of printer's ink. CITIZEN.
