WOOD FOR THE POOR.—We understand the County Commissioners contemplate making an appropriation to buy wood for the poor.

DOOLEY favors us with a budget of late periodicals, including Demorcit's magniffccnt magnificent magazine, for Januarv, 1870.

THE LADIES of the Aid Socicty desire to acknowledge and return thanks to the "Independent Club" for its generous donation of $102 2-5 to their fund.

ARLINGTON'S MINSTRELS, bca in mind, are next to appear at Dowling Hall, on Saturday eVcning, in an entirely new programme. The company ha3 been completely reorganized

(!KN. CriAS. CRDFT, Col. John P. Baird, Major Frank Crawford and Lieut. Geo. Farrington, have gone to Indianapolis to attend the reunion of the Society!of the Armv of the Cumberland.

MORGAN.—One week from to-day the lease of life granted to Oliver Morgan, by the sentence of the court, expires. There now appears not the slightest hope for the doomed man escaping his terrible late.

BROAVN & MELVIN have a new advertisement this morning, calling attention to their well selected stock of queensware, glassware, table cutlery, fancy goods, etc., which they are selling as cheap as any other house in the city.

REMOVAL.—James B. Lvnc has removed his establishment to No. 7G Main street, in the room recently occupied by the O'Bovle Brothers, where he will be pleased to see his friends and patrons.

THE FIRE ALARM ye3terday morning was caused by the burning of the dry kiln of Harter's stave factory near bank of the river in the southern part of the city. Loss about one hundred dollars. Jfo insurance.

MR. BEN. COX has devised an ingenious arrangement for the sale of reserved seats at Dowling Hall, by which in future there can hardly occur any mistake in securing scats. He is entitled to the thanks of amusement goers, many of whom have suSered much annoyance in this respect.

PROF. SIIIDE'S MUSICAL EXHIBITIONWe have been permitted a glance at the programme for rich musical treat. Prof. Anton Shide has in preparation at the New Turner Ilall for this evening, and find it one of rare excellence, twenty-eight pupils will take part in the' execution of music selected by the leading composers of the day. The admission Ls only fifty cents, and the entertainment is well worthy of patronage.

MAGAZINES.—Demorest commences the new year with a number that can hardly be excelled in all those features that constitute an attractive and desirable literary and fashion monthly.

Packard's Monthly has been materially enlarged, the only improvement of which it was susceptible. The January number is full of those good things for which we always look to Packard, and which have an irresistible attraction for our scissors.

Both these excellent publications are laid on our table by Mr. Baker, of the Postoffice News Depot.

MR.PERRYS. WESTFALL, of the Terre Haute EXPRESS, made his debut in opera at Terre Haute, a night or two since, taking a prominent part in the representation of "The Haymakers." It is reported that Perry made a decided hit, and it has been suggested that he will probably abandon newspaper life, and become an artist. We suggest to Manager Leake that it might be profitable to effect an engagement with him to appear here after Edwin Adams.—Indianapolis

News.

Thank you for the suggestisn but the "hit" was so "decided" that wo have determined not to make any engagements in the smaller western cities.

THIEF CARTTRIYPD.—For several days, Ward Hay ward, special policeman at the passenger depot, has been on the track of the man who stole Joseph Grover's harness, robes, etc.. and have probably committed the other thieving depredations in this city during the past few weeks. On yesterday one of the fellows was caught at Indianapolis and brought over on the train last evening. It appears that this man hauled a lot of stolen goods from here to Cloverland, in a baby carriage, At that place he left part of it, the load being too heavy, and went on to Staunton, sending back word to ship the articles at Cloverland to James Kelley, Indianapolis. In the meantime Policeman Hayward got possession of the goods, and Mr. Grover recognized a portion ofhis property. The package was shipped to Indianapolis as directed, and James Dundon was sent over to await the appearance of the man to claim the same. Hayward followed on Tuesday. The result was the capture of the thief as above noted.

Wtan discovered by fiie tifelP boy at about ten o'clock yesterday morning the door was unlocked, and tlie body was lying in the bed, undressed, cLothes hanging up, and room in the same prder as if he had retired for an oiVlinary' sleep. On a table was'found ti^^pllgwing, note, enclosed in an anvelope:'

TEBRE HAUTE, IND., Dec. 14th. DEAB FATHER:-Tell my younger brother to

beware

of the dissipated course which

has caused my death, Yours ever, wrtiswt OEORGF.^ P. S. Have me buried near my mother.

Coroner Christy was summoned and immediately empannelled a jury .wh^ff the following evidence was taken

JOHN E. WILKINSON being duly sworn deposed as follows: I know deceased) Geo. Barlow, of Effingham, Illinois came here Saturday, 11th Dec. camewith his uncle, Thomas Craddock. Deceased sent into my place of business said he wanted a drink of whisky and a glass of water,about 10 o'clock las', night,

MARTIN JAKELY, (bell boy,) deposed as follows: Came in fast night With Wilis ky for deceased. Deceased said he sick 11 o'clock :«aw deceased this jiornr ing about ten o'clock dead.

JOHN M. EASTOW deposed as follows Know the deceased haverkfiovn him from infancy has been living in Mobile then went to Cuba waj in !th£ Quartei master's Department ill'Mobile. He setifc to me an order by a boy about 12 o'clock last night to borrow ($25) twenty-fiv dollars. He was then playing billiards

R. H. SiMP902tf deposed as follows: That [at 12 o'clock to-day, to-wit: 15th day of December,. 180'J, I saw' and read a note directed to John M. Easton which said note was delivered to the said Easton last night—the night of the 14th inst.—as he informs me, at two o'clock M., asking him for the loan pf.twenty-fiv# do a

EZRA READ, a practicing physician being duly sworn, says that upon exami nation of the body of George Barlow, he finds distinct vigors of death—that the body is not emaciated—that he lies in an easy position with eyes closely closed, po sitionvjf legs seem flexed, left arm flexed and hand near the chin'in an easy and natural position, right hand resting upon his chest in easy position, hips and, legs turned upon left side, back and shoulders in easy position and partly on left side —head elevated by pillow in easy position and inclined forward upon chest—body warm beneath it and blankets covering covering him warm—well covered with clothing and seems to have fallen to sleep and death composed and easily

Upon the testimony'adduced and a boi tie of Laudanum, one ounce, being upon his table and emptied except a few drop!, I am of the opinion that hejdied from the effects of Laudanum taken of his own will and that deceased died about six o'clock on the morning of the l,5th'day of Decern ber 1969.

After hearing the above evidence the jury returned the following verdict: We, the undersigned jurors, cmpannel led and sworn by David L. Christy, Coroner of Vigo county, Stale of Indiana, on the 15th day of December, 1869, to inquire into and true presentment make how and in what manner and by whom George P. Barlow, whose dead body was found in room No. 53 at the Terre Haute House in the city of Terre Haute, on the 15th of, December, 1869, came to his death, after having examined hiS body and heard the evidence, we find that the deceased came to his death by an over-dose of laudanum administered by his own hands. Geo.F. Jenckes,F'rm. Chas. F. Clippinger, Ellis Y. Shartle, O. Q. Fuqua, Alex. Thomas, Jos. McFarland, S. K. Hannegan, John Baird, Crawford Fairbanks,J. C. Hidden, H.B.Ross, E. M. Sums.

The father and brother of the deceased, on being telegraphed, arrived last evening from Effingham, Illinois, where they reside, both being highly esteemed members of society. The father is a most exemplary and pious gentleman, wellkuown as for many years a successful merchant, retired from business. George, the

deceased, was the only member of the family that was dissipated. After' the war he went South and there contracted his dissipated habits. He became attached to a young lady who it is said reciprocated the attachment, but kept him off and finally discarded him on account ofhis bad habits. This seemed to push him onward in his career of dissipation.

On Tuesday he wrote his brother that he was in this city, and desirous of going south, requested him to forward some railroad passes in his possession. This would go to show that the thought of suicide had not entered his mind up to the morning lie took the fatal potion.

His remains were taken to Mattoon, last night, for burial.

ADVICE GRATIS.—Little more than a week and the Holidays will be here, and to our merchants who have not already done so, we wish to say that

now is (he time

to advertise to the pxtbUt what you have for sale,

If you have goods, you want everybody t© kno\Y it. First, you want the people to know what you have and where you are— and next, to excite their curiosity, draw their attention, and bring them to you, when your many attractions will open their hearts and pocket-books. To accomplish the first, you must have the newspaper help you. That is the show-window where rich dealers spread their wares, and the public make their choice., The sooner you get your wares spread out there* iti, the more customers' you vill attract. Everybody is making up his or her mind what to bri-y, and looking for it. Tt is for you to bring before their eyes such a dazzling array of beautiful things that they can make up their minds at oncfe. A line of advertising is today worth [more than ten one week from now, for by that time jearly everybody will have made their* choice and purchase.

We offer this advice gratis. It is unnecessary to add that the EXPRESS is the paper in which to advertise. It goes into every intelligent home in Terre H«"te» An advertisement in its columns will reach the persons whose attention is desired, and will pay a hundred percent the amount invested.

MAYOR'S COURT.—Oh yesterday John Barnett was committed to jail on charge of stealing a lot of plasterer's tools from David O'Dell.

James Bain, a stonecutter, at work on the new railroad bridge was arraigned for carryingjconcealed weapons, and fined $6,50.

One drunk completed the business of yesterdav.

THAT'S Sol—There's a mighty sight of truth in the following from yesterday's Evansville

Journal:

The Terre Halite dry goods men know how to do the "big thing" in the way of advertising. Wo notice that the advertisement of W. S. Rycc & Co. occupies three of the large columns of the EXPRESS, and the advertisements of Tuell, Ripley & Deming and Warren, Hoberg & Co. each two columns of the same paper. These advertisements present an appearance of thrift and energy that is very attractive to the people, and we have no doubt the gentlemen comprising these business firms realize that advertising pays, and pays well. It is by the public spirit of such mon that the reputation of Terre Haute for growth and enterprise has been so greatly increased within the past four or five years.
