The City and Vicinity.

THE report of the Council Finance Committee on the tax ordinances, which we print this morning, is an exceedingly well written paper, and deserving of a careful reading, especially by every property holder and tax payer.

ANOTHER attempt at hair cutting was made last evening on Third street. The villain slipped up behind Clara Harper and caught hold of her hair, bill the mother "of the girl succeeded in beating him off before he had accomplished his purpose.

WE would respectfully intimate to the Terre Haute people, that the New Albany .factories can supply them, and the entire State, with all the glass they need.—New

Albaay Ledgei-. Thank you but we prefer to make it ourselves, and expect to do so.

WHY don't you trade with me?" said a close-fisted tradesman to a friend, the other day. The reply was characteristic: "You have never asked me, sir. I have looked all over for an invitation in the shape of an advertisement, and found none—I never go where I am not invited."

NEW PROVISION STORE.—Mr. A. J. Welch, has opened a new provision store, on Walnut street, between Second and Third streets, where he will keep a full line of provisions, flour, salt, coffee, teas, &c., at the lowest prices. He is a clever gentleman and deserving a liberal patronage.

SEVEN passenger trains now leave this city and return from Indianapolis each day, and travelers can go at almost any hour they may select. The new road now ruus a morning train to Indianapoli* at 9:25 A. M. The other trains on both roads arrive and depart at about the same time.

THE Criminal Court convened yesterday morning, but, awaiting the action of the grand jury, did but little businessJohn Prater, a boy from near Centerville, this county, plead guilty to larceny in stealing the sum of $4 60, and was sentenced to serve one year in the Penitentiary.

IT IS generally supposed that corns on the toes can be gotten rid of only by dig ging them up with a grubbing-hoe, or pulling them out, toe and all, with a pair of red-hot pincers but a friend says he exterminated all he had, after enduring all the agony they could inflict for twenty years, by coating them with gum arabic mucilage every night on going to bed.

TERRE HAUTE last year expended but $7,000 in street improvements. No wonder the streets of that town are almost impassable every time it rains.—New

bany Ledger. In rainy weather, as well as at all other times, the streets of Terre Haute are in much better condition than those of any other Indiana city. This is due to natural causes, mainly, and not to the amount of money expended in street improvements

NEW ADDITION.—The Chestnut tract of land, comprising some eighty acres, at the south limits of the city, has just been laid off in town lots which are to be ofler ed in the market. The lots are 74 feet and 7 inches front and of a correspond ing depth, and number 224 altogether The new addition is very favorably loca ted and cannot fail to be sharply looked after bv those who desire homes or want to speculate. The new stre ets running through the addition from east to west are named respectively, McKeen, Mi shall, Lincoln, Grant, Morton and Voor liees

ON Sunday afternoon, Prof. J. M. OL cott resigned his position as Superintendent of the Centenary M. E. Sabbath School, a position he has held since its organization. The Professor has accept ed the Superintendency of the public Schools of Jacksonville, III., which necessitates his removal from the eity, and consequently his resignation of the piwi tion referred to. '-^v:-vi

Mr. T. C. Buntin made an excellent speech on the occasion, after which 1he following resolutions were passed unanimous vote of the School:

WHEREAS, The time lias arrived when the connection of Prof. J. M. Olcott with this School shall terminate, and the relations heretofore existing between us as Superintendent and scholars shall be severed, therefore be it

Resolved,

That in loving him we love a

firm and steadfast friend and an earnest worker in the Sunday S«hool cause, and one to whom, above all others, Centenary Sunday Schools owes whatever it has attained.

Retdred,

That the thauks of thisschool

are hereby tendered him for his untiring exertions in our behalf, and devotion to the cause in which he has so earnestly labored, and that in leaving us to engage in another field of labor he has our best wishes for his pros|erity and sncces-s.

Following the adoption of the forego ing resolutions, was the presentation of a handsome bible, the gift of the school The presentation speech was made byRev. B. Wilson Smith:

CITY TAXES.

Below we print the report ot the nance Committee presented to the City Council at the last meeting:

MB. PRESIDENT--The Finance Com mittee beg leave to submit three ordinances for the consideration of the'Council:

The tir*t is for the levy of a special tax for school purposes, namely: A special tax for the building, mending, and repairing of school buildings, furnishing mid purchasing fuel for the same, and other necessary expenses, except tuition. This is placed at twenty-five cents on each one hundred dollars of taxable property, and a poll tax of fifty cents, which is the limit prescribed by law. The second section of the ordinance provides for a levy of twelve cents on each one hundred dollars of the taxable property, to aid in maintaining the public schools ofthecitv for ten months in the year, to make up anticipated deticiences in the General School Fund.

The school trustees asked for a city tax of fifteen cents for tuition purposes, but the committee were reluctantly compelled to deny their request to recommend that amount. Other claims upon the taxpayers, since last year, admonished the committee that i( would be unwise to increase the levy over that of 1869. The Tiustees, in view

of these considerations, promise to retrench, as far as it can beaone, the school expenses of the City. It is but just to say that these Trustees, as well as the Head of the Schools, seem to b* fcithfuL* ly laboring to keen down everything )|te extravagance, while, it may be properly said, that at no time have these schools been more efficiently managed than within the year just closed. The Committee feel confident that while the good management of the Trustees shall, continue, they may always count with confidence on the sympathy and support of the City Council.

The second ordiance is a tax levy for

the general expenses of the City, ana to. .i.„ customers. meet the interest and principal jof ifceSchool Bonds wro«d*h» 18(kiijaB #hic!L bexfme dn& ih 1871. In thironlnww ir also included a tax of ten cents, to meet interest, and a sinking fund tax of five cents on each one hundred dollars of valuation, to pay principal at the end of twenty years, of Bonds issued in aid of the completion of the Evansville, Terrfe Haute, and Chicago Railway, authorized by a petition of the people of Terre Hai^te, a year ago. This last assessment is anew one in the history of the city,' no other railroad having been heretofore aided by the credit of our municipal government, 'lite unanimity which the petition to the Council .indicated is a strong assurance that the additional tax which it imposes will be cheerfully borne. The Committee believe that this railroad, when completed, will more than justify the wisdom of the people of the city in thus subjecting themselves to new burthens. That it will add greatly to the trade and commerce of Terre Haute, and develop the resources of the most productive and interesting portion of the Wabash Valley, the Committee very sincerely believe. That line of railroad is now an assured fact, which a few months will abundantly prove.

We report, for consideration, a general ordinance {iroviding for keeping apart the general revenues of the city and those moneys specially set for the redemption of bonds and the payment of interest on the same. This system will save a great deal of confusion, and, what is of equal importance, will show at a glance what is spent tor the ordinary expenses of the city. Besides this consideration, we owe it to the credit of Terre Haute that what is paid for a special

purpose shall be de

voted to that purpose alone. Th? Councils which .have authorized the issue of "City bonds have pledged themselves that the taxes levied to redeem them shall not be diverted to any other purpose. Thai is the honest aud straight-forward mode of conducting business, and it is hoped that this Council will set an example which muy have imitators in after times. Whatever taxes the Council may levy for-

General Purposes,

let that he the measure

of its expenditure. Above all things, let there be no borrowing

taking

from funds

set apart for other objects. Let the Council apprapriate only what it "has asked the people of the city to contribute for the support of its ordinary expenses. Acting on that honest and just principle, it will be a constant reminder against extravagant appropriations, the employment of useless officers, and the payment of unearned and unreasonable salaries.

The Committee Relieve that the assess ments made in the ordinance will be am pie to carry the city government through the coming fiscal year. We can count on a large reduction in two of the piost ex pensive departments of the city—the Fire and Street department. These reduction alone should exceed seven thousand dol lars. Under the head of "Stationary and "Miscellaneous," which summed up last year about $3,500, there ought not to be an expenditure of half thsit amount and will not be if the Council resolutely resolves to enforce its own rules about appropriations. This is the turning point of our success.

The Committee, it will be seen, .have increased the special levy for the redemption of. Normal School bonds from 20 to 25 cents. This is rendered necessary meet their redemption in 1871, wficn thepr all become due and payable. Had this fund been kept separate, and applied faithfully, from year to year, to its legiti mate purposes, there would have been no occasion for this extra levy. This tact cause's the absolute necessity of an ordi nance such as io now submitted. Whatever is promised by the Council—wheth er by the present body or former onesshould be rigidly redeemed. The credit of the city can only be maintained by decent economy in all its departments, and a prompt application of spccial

to their intended use. The Committee regret to observe that there has been 110 increase in the

I loping that the day will speedily ar rive when a more just system of taxation can be instituted in our municipal limits, the Committee submit the ..tax ordinances for the action of the Council.

The NeW York Post says: "Advertising ia the fjnafciaj railway |o snccap. I* is an art possessed by few but these few are t&e merchant princes of today."!

An exchange says: "Trying to do business without advertising is like winking through a pitir of green goggles— you may know that you are doing it, but nobody else does."

And another: ''You might as well attempt to shampoo the head of an elephant with a thimbiefull of soapsuds aa to aUem| to do business and ignore printer's hik. That'9 so.

The editor of the Massilon American means business. This fa what he says: "Patronise those who patronise you is our motto. We shall deal and send our friends to deal only with merchahts and business men who advertise. We may be compelled to buy, sometimes, from those who do not patronise us, but only when we can't do otherwise."

a.ir,0

And yet another says: "A man who was too mean to advertise land be wanted to sell put a written notice in one of the hotels the other day. A man who was inquiring for a small farm was referred to the written notice, when he replied: "I can't buy land at a fair price of any man who does his advertising in that Way. He'd steal the fence, the pumphandle, and the barn doors, before he gave np possession."

This one goes into poetics over the sub. ject "When trade grew slack*and notes fell diie,,th& merchant's face grew long and blue his dreams were troubled through the night with sheriffs bailiflsall in sight. At last his wife uuto him said, 'Rise up at once, and get out of bed, and get yonr paper, ink, and pen, and advertise and adtertise to all good men.' He did as his good wife advised, and in the paper advertised. Crowds came and bought off (11 he had his notes were paid, his dreams were glad, and hi will tell you to this dav, how well did piihterfa ink repay."

The. Chicago JIrtbune asks and gets $22,562 a column p£r yej|r, fojr advertis ing, Ji'lk&i2>fciue*s men o)F that city do not hesitate to pay that pricc, for the reason, that every dollar thus judiciously invested will bring an incomc of at least five dollars. Those who advertise most are most successful in business.

This is demonstrated every day by the experience of shrewd men. It is said one house in Cincinnati expends $1,000 week in advertising. They do not break up at it, fither. Many there and at Cleveland advertise to the amount of from $3,000 to $10,000 yearly.

I In Salem one business, map pays at the rate' of five dollars per line for every in sertion of his advertisement. A firm pay $200 for three lines one year. These mbn are liberal and sharp in business matters, and make as much money, if not more, than any house in town. They owe their success to the merit of their products and printer's ink

Why this is so, the Com mittee will not venture an opinion now further than to say that the report of 1809, aifd the opinions therein expressed on the subject, are more than verified.

in a few forcible

works, recognizes Its sensational power as well as its usefulness: "What an excitement and sensation that little four-&neX advertisement, offering a cadelship' for sale, has created throughout the country. The three unfortunate Congressmen, driven from their seats, and Very likely from public life, by a simple 'Notice' in a daily papar, undoubtedly utter mental maledictions upon th whole system of advertising, which is, however, aptly classed among the fine ar(s and appropriately termed the sure road to a competency. But while these ex-members of CoBgress are charging- all their ill- luck and misfortune to printers ink, our most. successful- business men sound a counter note, and give a hearty and emphatic endorsement of all that has been said in its favor.

Another soars to the marvellous, as follows

INFLUENCE OF AN Ai DVERTISEMENT. We don't vouch for the following story, leave the reader to his Own reflections on the sulked: A family in Florida lost their little boy, and advertised for him in the daily paper. That very afternoon an alligator crawled up.out of the swamp aud died on the front door-step. In his stomach were found' a handful of red hair, some bone buttons, a glass alley, a brass barrelled pistol, a Sunday-school book, and a pair of, check -pants. The advertisement did it—at least, so the editor says. li no use for^any alligator that lias committed a crime to defy the power of a free press! The editor says he will fetch litem right out of the Pacific Ocean if it is necessary."

Couaint

tells us some

thing of the ecrets of the art: •JThe scciet of advertising is not yet disinveietl bv ull who advertise. A good leal of money and space is wasted in clumsy announcements, which nobody reads, heavy standing placards, which no more stimulate purchasers than the names on signs. Much money ia also wasted in' circulars, which are thrown into entries and down cellar ways, and always received with contempt, or in socalled advertising sheets which nobody reads. There is no medium which comes into such close contact with the people as the newspaper and if advertisers only understood thdr buaiaasj they could make their paper as interesting as any other part of it. In many of the German papers advertising is carried on to an extent of which we have no idea. The newspaper is the real exchange. Everybody goes to it with all his wants, and almost all his woea. The consequence is that the sheets are as lively as neighborhood gossip, and often the pages devoted to advertising are the best part of the paper: and the papers are read through. The announcements are alwayt short, always

"transient," and one looks at them in the morning to see what the world has to offer him that day, by way of business or uaonent. Perhapa Ua,.next doer aeiglAw has a rare pi^ceof china or a choice engraving to sell, or he would like to get an odd number of some serial, which you happen to have somebody, somewhere, announces something that interests you, and so life is made more endurable, trade is quickened, and wants 1 supplied. We look to see a more general use of the advertising columns of newspapers in this country for all the wants and queries of life.

alone

($2,516,368) is larger than the total gross assets, including capital, of any other New York fire insurance company.

To the administrative and executive authority of this company must be ac corded the credit of making the best of the fire situation, of seeing their way through the uncertainties and impediments of the business to rational results. With clear ideas and keen intuitions, avoiding the' avenues to bankruptcy which .permeate the fire insurance system, they underwrite upon the principle that fire insurance is nothing if not profitable. The policy holder is certainly safest with that company which makes the most money. Its security is worth more than the security of any other company. In the present confusion, fire insurance can be promised at any price, but it can not be secured at a price below a paying point. An office doing a non ying business is simply a cheat and elusion to the policy-holder. The Home Insurance Company practices no deception, and we believe it to be good for what it contracts to do. When it is understood thai nearly one-half of the fire insurance compwiie* which have beta stalled in the

United

'States have /(tiled, this may seem like a bold faith to place in any such institution. Still, the management of the Home inspifes confidence, and we have given evidence that they are not working toward insolvency."
