Mr.. A. NIPPERT in so terrible in cat-nest in regard to closing out his stock of dry good:*, that this morning lie swells his quarter column space in our paper to a whole column, in order that the fact may not escape the attention of the reader.

LARCENY.--Oilicer Ilayward arrested, vesterdy, a man nrMued John Reese, who is accused of stealing a co:it, a pair of pants and other articles from John Mc Cann, who resides at Shelburne, a short distance south of the city on the E. & C.

RKMOVAL. —Mr. S.Frank, the clothier, has taken the eligible stand, recently occupied by Warren, llobeig & Co., where he proposes enlarging his business, and to aid in this purpose be takes a portion of our advertising space this morning.

BURGLARIES.—On Wednesday night the grocery store of Jules Hotiriet, corner of Third and Walnut street?, was entered and from seventy-five to one hundred dollars worth of goods taken. Three baskets were taken in which to carry the articles. The entrance was affected by forcing open the shutters and passing through a window. Mr. Ilouriet desires us to say that he will give a reward of fifty dollars for t'ie arrest of the thieves and recovery of the goods.

On the same night John C. Kester's feed store on the corner of Fourtli and Walnut streets, was entered, in the same way, the same instrument being used to force

0[en

the shutters. The burglars

took nothing but a hatchet and a pair of boots. On the night previous ineffectual attempts were made to enter the store of Turner & Buntin, on the corner of Main and Seventh streets, and also Mahler & Hoffman, a few doors west. The prints of the instruments used are plainly to fce seen upon tha doors.

There can now be no doubt that our city is infested wiih a gang of burglars and thieves, who roam at will, and it behooves our people to have a care for their wordly possessions and be on a watch for the rascals.

THE

Opera House to

THE great Sacred Mu.-ic Concert at Dowling Hall, on Tuesday evening, the Hih instant, under the leadership of the distinguished Prof. O'Kane, of Delaware, Ohio, assisted by the mtu-ical talent of this city, promises to be a most deligh entertainment and a great succp*fe re tletuen who have heard Pp»^nnvai!ed port him as very

On the ci streets, slippery and hard— but let poetry ret forth what there if seen: "Tramp! tramp! A ringing sound liar i'etu ns to passing feet, Moans the wind the houses round +)owls ati'1 whistles on the street And 'tis iti u! to tee

Uoiiseless wretches crouch and 'junke jh! Ttieir cry of misery •Should the thoughtless thoughtful make.'

And now since the poetical features the monih havebeen introduced listenold Spencer's deiCiiption of its grim pect: c.imo January wrapped well tn many robes tn keep the cold awav. V'ct did quake and quiver like to quel!, And blow his nails to warm them if ha may i'or they woro uumb with holding all th day."

Of I lie second of January, known in thr calendar as St. Macarius' day, these facts are affirmed: As en Macarius' day tha wsather appear. Just so tho next fceptember, overcast clear.

The tenth is a promising day that is if the appearances set forth in the nex coupler, are seen:

On tho tenth o" January f«ir tunshine, Xirings many grapes upon tho vino. The twenty second, it would appear, a day of similar significance, for on it the following phenomena are predicted:

Vincent sunshine Much grain and wine.

Which, after all, is not near so concise as this next: On Vincent's day, ho it dark or clear, it gauges the wcathor for the year.

As ihe clouds or sunshine both appear The twenty-filth is also a day on which great expectations are founded:

Is Paul's day clear l'la without four, For far and near Good crops appear, Crowning with cheer A prosperous ye.ar.

Having ti "s given all the observation!that reler to particular days, these next relate to the general aspect of the month And first we note the following, which sets forth with much distinctness what may be expected under certain circnm stances: nor trca much crops will

Nor hill, nor vale tliow. If January has much rain and little snow.

This, as somewhat opposed to the last would show that extremes in the weathe: are as bad as extremes in human conduct: Oft and deep the snow fall—soldorn thaw Much hay—scarce grain-abundanco of straw.

The ominous forebodings which the next contains i3 likely to impress everyone.

What should January be in order to augur favorable weather? In addition to what isabove given is this, which is not contradictory of them, but treats of another climatic phase: 'TSs surely known when January's wetA

Tho farmer's ecllar never full will get. I And next, of the much talked of January fog. We find this, somewhat varying from the common saw:

January foe will bring "Wot weather in thespring.

We here present some old English proverbs of the month, which, though not new nor here claimed as original, neverthelessare inserted'as properly completing the usual installment on the poetry and proverbs of the month

If tho grass grows in Jcnivccr, It grows the worse for't all the year.

A January spring Is worth naething. a a Under snow, bread.

March in Janirsex. January in AlarchI fear.

If January calends be summerly gay, 'Twill bring wintry weather till the calends of Slay.

Tho blackest month in all the year Is tho month ol Jnmvcer. These have a certain spice of antiquity about them, and serve as a toil, showing the concord and the contrast with the folk-lore of other tongues.

Poeti and Proverbs of the Month. January is supposed to have defined its name from Janus, that two-faced god, who sat in the temple at Rome, whose doors were very rarely clo-cd. Rather appro priately is it named from him, since it may abo be said to look before and after at the revohi'ion of time. Look a sad farewell to the old year—a smile of wel come to the new. The landscape now puts on its most wintry aspect. There is a deadness, a desolation everywhere. The eaves are fringed with fantastic icicles— trees and bushes after the misty morning air are covered with a feathery frost work. All olijects are decked with a robe of.dazzling whiteness and springled as it were with powdered diamonds. The west wind wind whistles and pipes with boreal keenness, sweeping bare the conn try roads.

Spencer evidently was inspired in hi description of the montlrby the illutuin a'.ions in old Catholic missals. One oi liese treasures, a relic of medieval time.--ets forth Jaruary as the figure of a mat class company? clad in white as a type of the snow usual ly on the ground at this season. He Mowing his fingers, as descriptive of cold Under his lett arm he holds a billet ot wood. Near him stands the figure of tin sign of Aquarius, into which watery em tileni of the month the sun enters on tl» nineteenth.

A research in various musty literan chronicles, wholly in foreign languages has revealed the following observation on the monlh. First, as to particula days, is written of the first:

The dawning red OR NOW Year's day, Much thumier will tho summer swa/. The next, though somewhat to tin same effect, is more explicit: Whon New Year's dawn is red, tho farmers fear, Badw^n'hor will them plague tho livclon? year,

HotiFB this evening, in their wonderful performances. As to what these performance? are, we clip the following from the Indianapolis

Senhncl

of yesterday:

Satsuma's Royal Japanese Troupe.performed at the Metropolitan last nigbt. and the hail wis crowded to witness their startling feats. The performance com menred with little "'All Right,'' the wonderful tumbler and po.'turer, and a wonder he certainly is. And to the end of the perormance—endin. in the grand table^f —ihe whole thing is a mys-en-such anv human being could peffcompre tricks and such feats pp^de-cription is hension. All atte^Hflias not witnessed futile. No pei^Ciss if we should unliiem wp!tld-'re what was done by these dertak^^1 must be seen to be appreja?*: Let nobody fail to witness the formance.

ECLIPSES.—There will be four eclipses this year, two of the sun and two of the moon:

First—A partial eclipse of the moon, January 6, partly visible. The moon rises eclipsed as the sun sets, and will be visible a! Boston for lh. 19. at Pittsburg, 39m. but at New Orleans the eclipse will end 29 m. efore the moon rises.

Second—An annular eclipse of the sun, June 17, at 9h 9m. in the evening. Invisible in the United States.

Third a partial eclipse of the moon, July 2, at 8h. 7m. in th^ morning, hence invisible in this region.

Fourth—A total eclipseof the sun, December 11, at lOh. 42m. in the evening. Invisible in the United States. This eclipse and that of June will be visible throughout Australia.

VANDALTA ROOTE.—One of the most successful railroad enterprises completed tne past year is the new line to St. Louis from Terre Haute, known as the Vandalia Koute. We did not avail ourselves of the opportunity presented at the time of the grand opening celebration, to go over the line, but through the politeness of our friend, Mr. George E. Farrington, President McKean's Secretary, we were taken over the road a few days ago, and were «iirpi'iscd and gratified at the substantial character of the road bed, and the really idegant arrangements for the comlort oi lie traveling public. The highest compliment we can pay to its condition and management is 10 say that it is in everyway worthy to be an extension and a part of .the old Indianapolis & Terre Haute Road.—Jivansvilie

CONCENTRATION OF BARGAINS'

Ever heard of in Terre Ilaiite.

The past history of our Store, although marked almost werklv by some grea surprise to our customer.", nevertheless doe* not furnish any parailef to the extra ordinary inducements with which we inaugurate the new year.

OUR NEW YEAR'S GREETING

As We glance back over the work accomplished in seven short months, we are sure our customers will not wonder at our feeling a little Hated at our unusual, but not to us, ^unexpected success. Our first visdt to Terre Ilrute convinced us that here, of all the cities in this Stale, was moat needed a reform in the vicious system upon which the Dry Goods business was being conducted. The motto of this sjstem was, "Secure the very largest profit passible on every dollar's worth of goods sold." We believed a change was needed and that the people would generously support any firm who, disregarding the machinations of the old high-priced stores, would dare to write over their doors this opposite motto, Sell every dollar's worth of goods at the smallest possible profit consistent with safe business principles." In pur»uance„of this idea we marked out our course and have pnrsned it without fear or favor. *We expected opposition, for we had been informed of the plans laid for ourdLscomfeiture. We were not even sure that this opposition might not lake the form of personal violence, so when the high-priced stores took thia way to bolste.r up their falling fortunes, we were hardly disappointed.

OUR SbCCESS HAS BEEN UNPARALLELED!

At one bound our store took its position at the head of the Dry Goods Trade of Terre Haute. We had not mistaken popular sentiment. Congratulatory and en couring messages and words came to us from every quarter, one and all bidding us go forward and never for a moment to doubt the earnest sympathy nnd hearty go re at as so
