The City and Vicinity.

THE

wet season didn't commence yes

terday as prophesied. SCUDDER'S

creams and ices are refresh,

ing delicacies this hot weather

You can now kill the prairie chicken with impunity—and a shot gun.

THE

dogs are to be slaughtered if found

on the streets after the 20th without a permit. THE accounts of the lata Market Vaster, Edward John, show the sum of $59 due the city. "WEATHER prophets are politely requested to dry up. We have heard enough from them.

A FALSE ALARM of fire sent the Fire Department to the eastern part of the city yesterday morning.

AN immense crop of thistles is guaranteed for next year. The downy seeds are "gently waiting for an immortal life."

J.B.EDMUNDS, of the "Journal," we regret to learn, has been confined to his residence Bince lost Saturday by severe illness.

WILL ARNOLD, chief clerk at the Postoffice, is taking a short vacation, which he improves by visiting relatives and friends at Greencastle.

TIME for yov to wake up on the Fair question. Are you going to exhibit anything? If so, remember that you have but a short time to prepare the same.

THE

man who enjoys hard work in

such weather as we are having now is little too angelic for this sublunar sphere, and need have no fears of the hereafter.

A DOCTOR who lives •''nigh about" the city sent a prescription to one of our druggists to make a liniment among the ingredients he ordered "gum bo waccum probably meaning gum guiacum.

WATER drawn from the river, for washing purposes, costs two cents a bucketful. The draymen charge one dollar a hogshead and it pans out about fifty buckets. Another argument for waterworks.

WATER WORKS.—By reference to the proceedings of last night's Council it will be seen that thedty Fathers have awakened to the importance of the water question and propose to immediately move upon the Works.

MAYOR'S

COURT.—A lot of boys pes

tered a German named Andrew Hauser, yesterday, until he gave one of them a sound whipping, for which he was arrested. Mayor Thomas heard the case and thought the German did about right. Hauser was discharged.

COL.THOMPSON and President McKeen of the Vandalia road, returned from a trip to Louisville, and other points, yesterday. They were with Tom IScott, the Pennsylvania Kailroad King, when he bought in the "Jeff." road and the Ohio Falls bridge, a very trivial operation for T.S.

SINGULAR FULFILLMENT OF A SPIRIT'S PROPHECY.—Here is a crumb of comfort for the believers in spiritual manifestations in this city. The Louis ville "Ledger" states that about two weeks ago Mrs. Keigwin, the celebrated medium, went to visit the family of Mr Ben. Cox, two miles back of Jefferson ville, and the spirits, of course, attended her on the trip. While there they communicated with several persons about different things. Mr. Ben. Cox lost a little son when he was only six years old, and the boy has been in the spirit land just ten years. He is now sixteen years of age, and made his appearance during the stay of Mrs. Keigwin. The first ques tion asked of him was, "Do you know your uncle Dave Cox?" "Certainly I do," was the prompt reply "and he will be dead in two weeks from to-day." Sure enough, the prophecy came true. He died on Tuesday last, just about the ex piration of the for tnight.

Mrs. Keigwin is always attended by Bud Morgan, the spirit of her brother, who talks very fluently to all visitors, and seems to be ft whole-sonlded, generprona fellow.

Mr. Hager offered a resolution directing the City Engineer to report at the next meeting the number and location of cisterns in the city, and thjs number that would be necessary to place one at each alternate square of the fcity. Concurred in.

While the above resolution was under discussion, it was stated that the Water Works Company would commence immediately the erection of Water Works if the city would take stock to the amount of $50,000, whereupon Mr. Forrest offered the following:

That the city take the sum of

fifty thousand dollars stock in the City Water Works Company, and that the Mayor be authorized to have said bonds made and handed to said Company whenever said jCompany raise a like amount.

The resolution Was laid over until next meeting. Mr. Peddle presented the following which was concurred in. ...

WHEREAS, The bed of the abandoned canal running through the city is the only outlet practicable for the drainage of that portion of the city lying east of Seventh street, and north of Chestnut street between Seventh, street and the rivet, Mad parties claiming ownership of the said canal bed are gradually filling up the same and will finally render it useless for drainage purposes. Therefore,

Resolved,

That the City Engineer be

directed-to prepare plans and estimates for a brick sewer, not less than 40 inches in diameter at its upper extremity, and 60 inches at its lower extremity, and extending from Wabash street to the river, and following the line of the canal ditch practibleto do so, with suitable surface inlets, or branch sewer connections, at the Btreet crossings, and that the Engineer be authorized to procure the advice and assistance of a insulting Engineer to make such plans and estimates, if he consider the same necessary.

Resolved,

That the Committee on Streets,

and Bridges, with the Street Commissioner added, be directed to confer with the parties "Wning, or clsiminrto ownrtheland through which? ihe said canal runs and ascertain if they will donate a strip of ground thirty feet in width in the center of said canal—or as much as may be necessary—for sewerage purposes.

Resolved,

That in case the owners or

claimants of land now occupied by* the canal, refuse to donate sufficient of said

land for sewerage purposes, that the City I y- /t^e

Attorney be directed to investigate, and I report on the right of the city to cond'

said land with the same form of proceedre as is customary in opening streets. Mr. Crawford, from the Committee on Printing, offered a resolution ordering that all rules and resolutions heretofore passed in regard to the public printing of this body, be void from this date. I

After the consideration of sundry unimportant matters, the Council adjourned.

REPORTS.

The Committee on Streets presented an ^estimate in regard to the grading of Ohio street from Third to Fourth, with cinder from the blast furnace—cost $393 75, and recommended that the street be so graded.

A LIVE HOME JOURNAL—NOTABLE CHANGE.—-Last October, "Hearth and Home" passed|into the hands of Messrs. ORANGE JUDD:& Co., of 245 Broadway, New York, the tfell known publishers of the "American Agriculturist"—a journal long without a rival in sterling value and circulation. The marked improvements, then expected to appSar in "Hearth and Home" have been fully realized, and it now one of the choicest illustrated journals anywhere issued for the family circle —adapted, to both the juvenile and adult people, and meeting the special wants Of the housekeeper. Besides it supplies very useful chapters for the garden and and farm, and an important NEWS sheet, giving a valuable

resume

of the news for a

week, up to the moment of issue. From $500 to $800 worth of very fine engrav-ings-beautify eacfc weekly number. We notice now a still further mark of enterprise on the part of the publishers they have secured the exclusive editorial services of Edward Eggleston, so widely and favorably known by his writings in "Scribner's Monthly," and many other Magazines and Journals, and especially as the chief superintending Editor of the "New York Independent", for some -time past. With this notable addition to the previously large and strong editorial force, "Hearth and Home" can not fail to merit and command a prominent place ih every household, in city, village, and country. Specimen copies can doubtless be obtained of the publishers^ as. above. Terms only $3 a year. Single numbers 8 cents. "Hearth and Home" and "Amer ican Agriculturist" together, $4 a year, :Better add one or both of them to your supply of reading they are each worth infinitely more than the small coat.

''The Proposed Railroad." f, EEITOR EXPRESS: The above theme affords the text for

a doubting Thomas,

in a

communication in yesterday's EXPRESS. The extreme

simplicity

of the writer ef

fectually pleads in his behalf that nothing should be "set down in malice" against him, but that his short-comings should be charitably credited to his ignorance. He thinks the people should "go slow" before signing the petitions asking the City Council to subscribe $100,000 to the stock of the company to aid in building the Terre Haute & Cincinnati narrow gauge railway—alleging, as the reason, that the company who build the road have no interest in common with us, that they build the road merely to make money, that they only propose to complete twenty-miles of the road (at this end) till our subscription becomes binding upon us—"only an amount of narrow .gauge road which we can .build and control for the money asked,'^^

If anything could disclose a greater amount of ignorance than' the assertion quoted, I confess it would be difficult to imagine what it could be. All that the advocates of the narrow gauge roads claim, is, that they can be constructed St a less cost by thirty per cent, 'afid can carry freights thirty per cent cheaper than the wide gauge road. These seem to be conceded points and the "Scientific American pretty good authority, says that practicability for passenger traffic, as well as for freights, has been .fully demon strated for two years." But the opponent of this public improvement tells lis that we can build twenty miles of narrow gauge road for $100,000! What are the facts? Why, the average cost of the railroads in the United States is not less than $30,000 per mile. The cost of the T. H. & I. R. R., built when labor and material were cheap, was, I believe, some $27,000 per mile. Now, we are offered a road of twenty miles, equipped and running, (even if the railroad should never be built,) before we are required to pay a dollar or issue a bond—an amount of Toad, Which, at the average cost of wide gauge road, would amount to $600,000, and counting off 30 per cent as the less cost of the narrow gauge, worfh $420,000. As a mere financial operation we should save, therefore, $320,OOO, and yet this astute would-be-guardian of the people "can't see it." No, he calls it a gift! Says the stock won't pay. Well, let us for argument's sake admit that the stock will not pay a dividend.

"their

Will the city, not be benefitted more than ten times the money she is asked for by the enhanced value of her property her increased trade and population her cheaper coal, stone, timber, &c.t and her increased manufactories? And besides, in all probability the machine shops will be located here, bringing in-, creased demand for houses and supphes.

And again, some twelve miles of the track of this road lies in the county of

mMjiine

lemn

shops of course, if

located here, will be in the corporation^,

all this property, trill constitute 4. permanent tax-paying capital. But your correspondent don't tell the whole truth. The terms of the proposition are that the work shall commence at Terre Hau te—that

twenty-five miles

of the

road shall be completed and the cars running thereon from this city before our subscription is payable,—that the work shall be commenced within thirty dayc, and that the twenty-five miles shall be completed in four-months from the datfe of our subscription.

Looking at the question in the light indicated, I rather think the people of Terre Haute will dispense with the gratuitous services of your correspondent, and will look

to tieiiiovw interest*..

THE'COMING CIRGUBR1—The following commendatory notice in regard to the New York Circus, which exhibits in this city on Saturday, August 26th, is from the New York "Times" of April 11th: "Mr. Lent provides .admirable entertainments, and studies carefully the tastes of his patrons.

An Animal which rivals the greatest human riders in feats of Equestrianism and bas been pronounced by the Press of Paris, London and New York to be the most remarkable novelty and most powerful_ attraction ever introduced in the Equestrian Arena. This Animal was captured in Zanzibar, Africa by its proprietor and trainer, Mons. Jean Martlett and taught to, execute an act of horsemanship in imitation ojt the performances of human riders.
