well be applied to the crossing of Mam and Third streets. Within the past half doaen years we can count near a dozen shooting affairs in that vicinity-and not one of the persons using the pistol haa been punished to any extent, worth mm tioning. f.

T. P. MURRAY, who recently retired from tho firm of Murray & Crawford, has served the people of this city and vicinity with boots and shoes for twenty-four years. We can't remember so far back but have no doubt he furnished us with our first pair of boots, and wo had a good understanding.

CORRECTION.—In calling attention to the Republican convention which meets in this city on Saturday the 12th inst., we wrote "next Saturday weok." By an inadvertency the word "week" was omitted making it appear that the convention is to meet on "next Saturday." The call of the Chairman of the Executive Committee, published in this issue, gives the date correctly, to-wit, Saturday the 12th day of February.

THE POOR ASYLUM.—A gentleman whose duty calls him to make an occa sional visit to the poor asylum, informs us that during the past year only one minister of this city has visited that in stitution. He hopes that a mere suggestion will cause our ministers, to make an occasional visit, and knows that such visits will tend greatly io the encouragement qf this isolatednd much neglected class.

THE Bad intelligence .of the death of Col. Charles Gilmore was confirmed yesterday. It will be remembered that some weeks since he passed through this city from the Far West to attend his mother, who was dangerously ill. Soon after he arrived there, he was stricken down, and about a week since died. His His brother Luther, of this city, having been seht for, arrived before liis death.

DESPEEATB AFFBAY.—The affray between the police and a party of stone cutters at work on the bridges of the western railroad, was of the most desperate character that has occurred in the city for a long time. It appears that the stone cutters were returntng Irom the Theatre Comique, going down Main street, towards the river, whooping and yelling in an unusually noisy manner. Policeman Crowe

Vanderver remonstrated with them and endeavored to induce them to be quiet, but to no effect. Arriving at the corner of Main and Third streets the policemen attempted to arrest a man named Ponce, who seemed to be the ringleader whereupon the other men, ten or a dozen in number, commenced an assault upon them. Vanderver defended himself with his "billy." "Crowe used his pistol as a "billy," when Ponce seeing it and supposing Crowe was going to shoot, ex claimed, "Is that your game, you son of drew a pistol and fired, but with' out effect. Vanderver ran around to the assistance of his comrade, when Ponce presented his pistol directly at the breast of Vanderver, and was about to pull the trigger, when Crowe knocked the pistol up, and the murderous bullet went whizzing into the air, cutting a piece out of

Crowe's thumb. Vanderver then drew his pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the thigh of Ponce.

By this time two other policemen ar rived and with their aid nine of the men were arrested and placed in jail until yes* terday morning. Ponce was taken to the Early House. The extent of his injury is not precisely known. Besides the wound in the leg he is badly beaten about the head.

It is said that about ten shots were fired, four of them by Vanderver. Crowe's pistol would not discharge. It is not a little singular that greater injury was not sustained by both parties. From what we can learn the police acted with great bravery and did not exceed the bounds their duty. C"i^~ -.«•

On appearing before the Mayor yesterday morning, four of the men were fined $18.75 each another $13.75 one for carrying concealed weapons, $16.75 and two others for the same offense, $11.75 each, making a total of $128.75—an expensive night's spree. Having just received their wage3, the lines were all paid.

HUMPTY DCMPTY.—The original pantomime, with its original organization as played at the Olympic Theatre, New York for six hundred and ten consecutive performances, will appear at Dowling Hall on Monday evening next.. SeatsJJmay now be secured without extra charge, at B. G. Cox & Co's. As but one performance will be given, a rush will undoubtedly be made for seats, and it is not necessary for us to suggest that those who desire good locations should make immediate application.

with the following certain cure for corns, which he has tested for twenty-six years, with never failing success. First, have common sense, and get your boots made wide enough around the toes to admit of the healing of the corns then cut and shave the corns down as as possible, without drawing blood cut apiece of yellow erasive soap, about the thickness of pasteboard place it on the corn and wrap a strip of linen, about an inch wide, around it, to keep it there diy and night renew the plaster once or twice a week, and in due time the soap will have eaten away all the dead oVfo, and anew skin, as soft as a baby's, will grow upon the spot. This is said to be a positive and certain cure, and is easily applied.

gives this exhib

ition the following endorsement: "The dramatic construction of the pantomime is good, the mechanical effects excellent, the incidents very laughable and ludicrous, and the closing transformation scene a very briliant tableau. Besides the innnumerable bits of fun in it, there is a burlesque of the railway scene in -Under the Gaslight' whigh is huge in its drollness. 'Humpty Dumpty' cannot fail to amuse old and young. There is nothing to offend the eye or the taste, and the little folks particularly will find it

perfectly bewildering. All the children should see it, as it is by far the" very best thing of the kind we have had here since the famous Ravel family delighted us all. The Kiralfy's, consisting of M'lle Haniola Kiralfy and her two brothers, assisted by eight very pretty'and dashing dancers, appeared in a grand Hungarian 'Ballet d'action,' and afterwards in a divertisement called 'Sailors Ashore.' By their novel and graceful dancing and beautiful costnmes, they creased quite a furore and were warmly encored. This Ballet troupe of itself is a very griat attraction, and its combination with the Pantomime troupe makes the entertainment doubly interesting."

CIRCUS AT DOWLING HALL.—To-night the initial performance of the DeHaven Circus will take place at Dowling Hall The ring or arena will be placed in the body of the Hall and the chairs and seats comfortably arranged around it. The company have had platforms built upon the stage, upon which settcca are placed and 60 arranged as to give to each occupant a perfect view of the performances, The box office will be open to-day at 10 o'clock A. si. for the sale of reserved seats. From the Detroit

Advertiser

we clip the

following: "THE CIRCUS AT THE OPERA HOUSE.— A circus under canvass never fails to draw a great crowd in this city. It is, therefore, no wonder that the DeHaven Ciicus, at the Opera'House, has been nightly greeted with the elite and fash ion of our city. Indeed, it would be surprising if such were not the fact, when we take into consideration the wonderful merit of the performance. We hazard nothing in saying that no circus that has ever appeared in Detroit before has combined so mncli talent in the several specialities as the one now performing at the Opera House. Mr. James Robinson is conceded everywhere to be the champion equestrian of the world at bareback riding. Wherever he has appeared he has created a great sensation, and one has but to witness his daring and difficult feats to agree with the popular verdict of admiration and applause with which his entrance into the arena is nightly greeted. The little son Clarence wins- not less hearty and deserved applause than his father.

Mr. G. M. Kelley astonishes everybody by his Wonderful leaping. Thought one may have seen him a dozen times, he will never fail to experience astonishment at such enormous yet graceful and easy leaps. Mr. Jas. Madigan and his double somersault, backwards on horseback nightly awaken rounds of applause in this city. The Lowanda Brothers are athletes and gymnasts of great excellence. Tlicy perform their tricks with ease and elegance, and provoke much mith. James Reynolds the clown and he is known t» be among the best in the profession—to speak of more Jimmy, where he is so well known,-would be superfluous. In connection with the above professional celebrities, there is a lull and complete circus company, and the entertainment is elegant, chaste and pleasing, everything that could offend being carefully excluded. We are "glad to record the fact that our elegant and'comfortable Opera House is nightly patronized by delighted thousands of onr best citizens, who thus testify to the superiority and excellence of the star troupe of the world."

your co-

Consider

ing as I do, that you feel, in common with all the c-itiaens of Terre Haute, a deep interest in the continued prosperity and growth of the same, and in accordance with a pledge made to the citizens of Clay county at a meeting immediately preceding the late railroad election, I request of you a place in your valuable and widely circulating paper, space sufficient for this communication in support of what I believe to be the TRUE LINE of the Terre

Haute and Bloomfield railroad. The line, as surveyed, runs on the Evansvilie and Terre Haute Railroad, seyen or eight miles south, then diverging to the left on an angle across the southeast side of Vigo county to Howesville, in Clay county.

As there appears to be, to an outside observer, something bordering on apathy and doubt as to the successful prosecution of the road on the point as surveyed, and without any desire to increase that doubt, or in the least retard the building of a road to Bloomfield, in Greene county, to unearth the much desired mineral deposits which that portion of the country is known to contain, and to aid the infant but rising column of the much desired manufacturing interests of the city of Terre Haute and surrounding country, I propose to submit, for the consideration oi the capitalists of Terre Haute and other points and interests concerned, the following change the location of the said road.

Take the Terre Haute and Indianapolis Road seven or eight miles east (or less, as may be determined by [survey,) near the head-waters of Lost Creek, and south of Otter Creek thence on a line southeast across the head-waters of Honey Creek, and continuing in the same direction through Wheeler's Prairie thence down the waters of Birch Creek, in Clay county, in the direction of Ashborough thence due south to Middleburg, in the same county thence in a direct line to intersect the present survey near Howesville, or east of the same, to Bloomfield. in Greene county.

I propose, also, to submit for the con sideration of those concerned, a few of the advantages this route, or line, will give to Terre Haute over the present survey:

The proposed line would run near the centre of Clay county, the line so mnch desired by a large portion of her citizens, and by the addition of short switches, would command the block coal reigion its entire length, as at present developed, At the extreme eastern curve Bowling Green and Centre Point, with a Branch, say six or eight miles long at the farthest, can easily be connected, which would open up the former to the commercial trade of the country, without advocating the building of a road from the lakes to Mobile.

Middleburg is a commanding point in the business of Clay county, and would secure a large portion of the trade ou the west side of Owen county, a point rapidly filling up with a German population, and lands that commanded less than ten dol lars an acre but a few years since,are rang ing from thirty to fifty dollars per acre at thir time. It is only [necessary to pass through this country to witness the fine plank barns and other evidences of great thrift.

AVithout the adoption of this route the trade of this locality must go to the Vincennes road east or to Worthington.— Along this part of the proposed line the country abounds in fine quarries of rock —rock that will admit of a much finer polish than the Putnam rock. As to timber, say start in the vicinity of Ashborough and pass on to the last crossing of Eel river, a distance of more than fifteen miles, and you will be compelled to admit that the almost solid bodies of white oak timber, both as to height and diameter, cannot be surpassed, if equalled anywhere, with a mixture of poplar of equal value.

Suppose the line to be one and a half or two miles further than the present survey, which I DOURT, the gain lumber and tie timber on this route to the Indianapolis, Terre Haute and St. Louis road alone, to say nothing of the amount that would

be shipped to the different points in Illinois ana elsewhere, would overcome many times the difference in cost of construction. By this route you cut off much of the trade north and east of Eel river from Worthington and other localities, but what would be their loss would be gained to Terre Haute.

I can safely say that there would not be on the entire line what would be called an expensive cut. By Bimply riding over the country any person must become convinced of the cheapness of the construction of this line. Considerable may be done in the way of stock and money "subscriptions.

It is rumored that there is considerable rivalry as to who shall be President of the route surveyed. To overcome that difficulty I propose that the road be considered a branch of the Terre Haute and Indianapolis Road. In that way the expenses of running the road can be greatly reduced, by giving the road in charge of the officers of the same, with the addition of a Superintendent. If the Terre Haute and Indianapolis Road is unwilling to enter into this arrangement,let the road advance one hundred thousand dollars and secure themselves by a mortgage on the stock of the road to be built, (or less, if required,) in order to put the road through at once, as other interests are at work to divert the'coal and other commodities from Terre Haute. 1 wish to be understood as only advocating a change from Terre Haute on the

{ow

(resent Burvey to the connection beHowesville, Clay county. From that point I believe it is considered that the survey to Bloomfield is as good as the face of the country will admit of. From the extreme curve, after leaving the Terre Haute road north of Middleburg to Bloomfield, the road may be an air line road.

This line will eommand the great corn and grain growing region of Eel River. Within a radius of about two miles, during the present season, one thousand very extra hogs were fattened in this region (and there is corn yet to spare,) which were all driven away from the Terre Haute market for the want of a cheap mode of conveyance. Take the present survey from Young's Station to Howesville, fifteen miles or more, and the supply will not much exceed the demand. I have, by no means, a desire to underrate or speak disparagingly of the southeast part of Vigo or the southwest part of Clay counties.

Facts are convincing proofs. Let him who doubts,' investigate for himself, and he will soon be convinced that the proosed change, opening up, as it will the lock coal so much desired, and other surplus commodities not referred to in this communication, direct with Sj. Louis, Chicago and all intermediate point?, it must soon become one among the best paying roads in Indiana. In support of what I nave written as being no fiction I will, as an evidence of my sincerity, propose to furnish the cross ties for ten or fifteen miles at fair rates and take a liberal portion in the stock of raid road.

I consider it quite safe to declare that a hundred young men of Terre Haute, or more, of moderate means, with ordinary application, might soon acquire handsome fortunes, on the proposed line, by engaging in the coal, lumber, grain, merchandise, mechanical and other pursuits. For every mile can have its coal shaft, with all the great improvements that must surely fo low.
