ROW IS A SALOON!
Probably Another Murder
On Sunday evening a party of half a dozen young men "on a bender" called at James Connegham's saloon, on the corner of Third and Walnut streets, and demanded liquor. The proprietor refused them, and after some words they went away, but soon resolved to return and "clean out the thing." Going in they commenced stiiking right and left. No one was seriously injured except John Mclntyre, a young man, pedler by occupation, residing on South First street. He was sitting in the saloon, and had taken no part in the trouble. One of the young men struck liim two blows upon the head, it is supposed with "brass knucks." One of the blows broke the ^bridge-of his nose, and the other fractured his skull, from which injury it was supposed he could not survive through last night.
We have been able to obtain only a partial list of the names of the assaulting party, and are requested by the officials! not to mention any names until the Grand Jury investigates the- case, and ferrets out the person guilty of the assault upon young Mclntyre.

Since he opened on Saturday evening there has been a constant throng of cus tomers, mostly ladies, bfearing away large and small packages. It affords us pleas ure to note that in this venture in business by. himself (here a promise of de cided succcss.

NAUROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH. Yeaterday evening, at the blast furnace, J. J. Mayer, a groceryman, who resides a short distance north of the nail works fell from the trestle work, a distance of fifteen feet,*" striking with his head and breast upon a pile of pig iron. Strange a3 it may appear he escaped with a severeconcision of the scalp,'and badly bruised breast, neither of a serious nature. He says he was seized with a dizziness and although aware that he was about-to fall could not prevent the same. Dr. Arm strong sewed up the lacerated scalp, and left the man in a comforatable position Boon after the accident.

A FAIR BULLETIN, devoted mainly to advertising, but containing a report of the progress of tire Fair, will be issued each] morning, commencing to-morrow during ithe remainder of the week, and will be distributed free. iOL
THE following highly complimentary resolution was recently adopted by the Official Board of Asbury Chapel: "Resolved: That this Board give ex pression to their cordial approval of Eev James Hill's ministry in this charge dur ing the last conference year, and further' more express a unanimous wish that he may be returned for the ensuing year."
The Monnds of Snlliyan County. After finishing the programme of the Indianapolis meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Sci ence, some of the members remained for the purpose of making a visit to Merom in Sullivan county, Indiana, to examine and open some of the numerous mounds that are to be seen at that place and in its vicinity. A gentleman, who accom panied the party, has furnished the In dianapolis "Sentinel" with the following account of the trip:
The party consisted of F. W. Putnam and wife, editor of the ''American Naturalist," Caleb Cook and James Everton, all of the Peabody Academy of Science, Salem, Massachusetts E. T. Cox and wife and daughter, and Professor John Collett, of the Geographical Survey of Indiana. The party was very kindly furnished with free passes by President McKeen, over the St. Louis, Vandalia Terre Haute and Indianapolis Railroad. and by President Ingle, over the Evans ville and Crawfordsville Railraad—courtesis which were highly appreciated by the whole party. Indeed, our Eastern scientific friends were struck with tbe marked privileges embraced in the passes over the Evansville and Crawfordsville road, which traversed the country to be examined. They permitted us to go where we pleased on the road, and get off and on at any station.
Leaving Indianapolis at one P. M., Monday, August 28, we arrived at Sulli van at half-past five P. M., where we were met by Dr. Holmes, President of the Union Christian College, Mr. Humphrey's, Mr. Kearns, and others, with carriages, to convey the party to Merom, nine miles west of Sullivan. Though it rained hard during most of the journey over," we were well protected from the weather, and reached Merom perfectly dry. Here we were hospitably- received and taken to the homes of Thomas Kearns, Dr. Harper, Dr. Holmes, Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Berry.
Merom is situated on the east bank of the Wabash, on a precipitous bluff one hundred and seventy-five feet above low water. From the bluff the country gradually slopes to the east, and descends to high water level in a distance of one and a quarter miles in Turtle Creek bottom. The village contains five or six hundred inhabitants: lias a number of elegant residences, and the Union Christian College, of which Dr. Holmes is President. Tfi&college is in a highly fiodriahing Condition, under the able management of the President and his estimable and talented wife, and it was a source of regret to all that Mrs. Holmes was absent, spending her summer vacation with friends in the East.
Tuesday morning was principally occu- At W- II. Bannister's there is now arpied in making a preliminary esamina- jving
tion of the mounds which lie just beyond
the northern limits of thetown on a nar-
row Prof. Holmes, made a complete map of the mounds and kilchcn-iiiiddens, or pit-holes, which formed the
mound-builders
We heard of some that had been 'opened and yielded bones and relics, but several ot the largest were trenched through by oar pa/ty without finding-anything, worthy of note. Fragments of pottery ana' bones were picked up in the plowed field, evidently obtained from the kitchen-mid-dens and it was the opinion of Professor Putnam that the Turman Creek mpunds were mounds of habitation, and not sepulchral mounds. As the mounds proved unproductive, the afternoon was spent in collecting fishes from Turman Creek, and quite a number of species were obtained.
Hearing of a great many mounds near Hutsonville, six miles above Merom,' in Illinois, we made an early start for that place, Thursday morning.
The Hutsonville mpunds are also situated on the second river terrace, about 200 yards from the present bank of the Wabash. Fifty-seven motinds were counted in an enclosed pasture belonging to the Hon. R. Maclanahan, of Robinson. Trenches were cut through three and several others were dug into, but noboines or relics were found, and it was concluded that these were also mounds of residence. One of the largest which was opened was surrounded by a circular embankment two or three feet high and about one hundred feet in diameter, measuring through the raound, which was in the center. Prof. Putnam supposed this encircled mound to have been the residence of the chief or some high dignitary of the remarkable race whose hidden history we were so dilligently searching for.
The afternoon was again spent in collecting fishes and shells, of which the Wa bash furnished a great many interesting species., Friday morning the entire col lection obtained from the monnds, and all other objects of natural historyy were carefully packed up, and we parted from our kind Merom friends, who had done every thing in their power to facilitate our researches and make our visit pleas ant. Carriages were furnished to convey us to the railroad station at Sullivan from whence we took our departure for Indianapolis. Though somewhat dis appointed in not finding as many relics as expected in the mounds, Professor Putnam and his co-laborers from the Pea body Academy of Science, were highly pleased with the trip, and the valuable collection of fishes made from the Wa bash and it§ tributaries, and with the un bounded hospitality of the citizens of Merom, who furnished abundant trans-
portation to all the localities visited, and in no instance would they permit the party to pay out a cent, not even for their dinners at Sullivan, where we found our bills settl25 by Dr. Frank Harper, who accompanied us over.
While at Sullivan Mr. George Myers gave us a large mound builder's hoe, made of flint) to be placed in the Sttitc cabinet at Indianapolis. This hoe he found in a mound in Fairbank's township, Sullivan county, resting on the breast portion of a skeleton. A tree wa growing on the mound which was one hundred and fifty years old, estimated by the rings of growth. Mr. Myers has made a valuable contribution to the State collection, and it is hoped that hia exam pie will be followed by others who may have in their possession uncared for arch oeological relics.
Saturday morning Professor Putnam and wife and Professors Cook and Emer ton, the last of our distinguished scientific visitors, took their departure for Boston over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad via Cincinnati, and the flag which had been flying from the dome of the Capitol since the assembling of the American Association for the Advancement of Science was hauled down by the Librarian, Mr DeSanOj

en. Assisted by numerous citizens we were enabled to open a number of mounds and to dig into several of the kitchen-middens. Some of the mounds were sepulchural and contained stone vaults from which Dr. Frank Harper obtained last year a number of perfect skulls and other bones of the human skeleton, in a good state of preservation. Our party also succeeded in finding several skeletons and were fortunate in securing one entire skull, and a number of arm and leg bones, as well as some fragments of pottery from the same mound. From the kitchen-middens were taken pieces of bones which belongs ed to various animals, and a great many fragments of pottery, some of which gave evidence of much skill in workmanship. Wednesday morning we proceeded to Turman's creek monnds, six miles north ot Merom, piloted on the way by Mr. Gray, of Grays ville, and accompanied by a number of the prominent gentlemen and ladies of Merom. The mounds at this locality are built upon the second gravel river terrace, six or eight feet above high water. They are from five to ten feet in elevation, und_twenfcy or thirty feet across the base. Upon some we found oak trees growing that would measure two and a half feet in diameter. Over fifty mounds were counted in this locality.

II is a Popular Notion that persons living in town and engaged in sedentary occupations, are not exposed to the influ
ence of malaria. The worst sort of expo suro is where prudent housekeepers from false notions of economy and cleanliness, neglect to build fires and have their houses comfortably warm during the chilly mornings and evenings of early autumn. The sudden and violent changes in the atmosphere from noon until even ing are likely to chill the body, derange the system, and produce a feeling of las situde, headache, biliousness, &c. or to bring on an actual attack of Ague, or Chills and Fever. Persons coming from a distance, where malaria is not preva lent, are almost sure to suffer in this way during the first year or two and with all due caution, cannot feel perfectly safe,
In any event the use of Barr's Ague Medicine will be found beneficial, either as a preventive, or where disease is al ready developed, as a positive, permanent and radical cure. Such arrange ments have been made with ouc leading druggists, that it may be found in any of their establishments.

OUR WHOLESALE TRADE.
Twenty Tears in tbe Notion Busint as.
The evidences of the rapidly increasing trade and prosperity of Terre Haute are apparent to every one who is at all observant of passing events. This increase in trade extends to all branches, of business, and one can discover springing np on all sides, new wholesale establishments in the various mercantile departments. In the wholesale trade, our city can now successfully compete with the principal eities of the West, in the line of dry goods, groceries, glass and queensware, hardware, tobacco and cigars, liquors, boots and shoes, carpets, stoves and tinware, drnga and chemicals, saddlery hardware, house furnishing goods, leather and shoe findings, clothing, et cetera. The stocks kept .by our dealers in these several lines are very large and well assorted, and offer to retail dealers very attractive inducements to purchase
In no line of the wholesale trade, however, is this market better supplied than in that of Notions, and taking a lead in this trade is the house of U. R. Jeffers & Co. Mr. Elisha Havens constitutes the "Co." of the establishment. The senior member has been in the trade in this city for twenty years, during which time he has built up a trade that is astonishing in its vastness, reaching not only through Western Indiana and Illinois, but to Iowa, Missouri and Kansas.
We took a walk through their house yesterday for the first time within a year and was really astonished to find so large and varied a stock in this city. Every floor from cellar to garret is. filled, and the varied, many hued articles spread out upon the samble tables and upon the shelves, present the appearance of a vast museum of rare articles. When we state that the house keeps near fifteen hundred different lines of goods, the reader will perceive that in his brief article an enumeration would be impossible. And every line of goods is full and complete, bought direct of the manufacturers, and sold at manufacturers piices./^'fhey buy in such a way that all leading goods are sold to their customers, at eastern price3, thus saving freight and co.st of going to and from the east.
Mr. Jeffers recently returnad from the east, and the goods he purchased ara now about all unpacked. It is with infinite pleasure that he conducts the visitor from floor to floor, and well may he be proud of such an establishment, which has no superior, for variety, freshness and completeness in the west.
Each member of the firm is as liberal as he is enterprising. We speak with positiveness when we say that the house offers to retail merchants a* favorable prices and terms as they can obtain any where, east or west.
This house has just secured the exclu sive agency for the sale of all goods man ufactured by the Vigo Woolen Mills.
