THE Circuit Court, with Hon. John Pettit presiding, was in session yesterday, for the purpose of trying a-suit cf the heira of the late Robert Lockridge, against R. N. Hudson, for the recovery of one-half interest in the valuable property occupied by Donnelly's drug store. The issues were made up and a jury empannelled, when the court adjourned until this morning.

DR. AUSTIN'S LECTTRRE.—A fair audi ence was in attendance a- the lecture last evening at Dowling Hall. The lecturer handled his subject—"King Solomon's Temple"—in a most agreeable, instructive and eloquent manner. The matter and manner of the lecture, was evidently «p^ predated by the audience, which gave the speaker profound attention during iti delivery and applauded him roundly at its close. This lecture was the only success which has been accomplished in the lecture line, in our city, during the present season.

PRESENTATIONS.—At the installation of the officers of the several Masonic bodies -the three Lodges, Chapter and Commanderv—on Wednesday evening last, the members of Social Lodae, No. 86, presented Past Master Simon Wolf with a handsome gold watch. The presentation address was made by Col. Cookerly. At the same time W. M. Phil Schloss was the recipient of a similar gift from the members of Humboldt Lodge. Those gifts were worthily be* stowed.

Speaking of watches, if it is not too late, our friend Jos. H. Blake, showed us yesterday one of the most elegant *nd valuable gold watchs we have ever seen— a Christmas gift from his brothers and sisters.

TEBBE HAUTE COMMERCIALCOLLEGE. As mentioned a few days since, Prof. A. W. Heinly, late of Vincennes, has purchased a half interest of Prof. R. Garvin in this institution. Within the past few days some important changes have been made in the rooms, located in Beach's Block, new furniture has been added, and the capacities of the institution greatly increased. In addition to the departments of bookkeeping, penmanship, arithmetic, &c., there has been added the study of German and of telegraphing. The school, after a brief vacation, will reopen on -Monday under the most favorable auspices, and we predict a brilliant future for the Terre Haute Com* mercial College, under the direction of Profs. Garvin and Heinly.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.—Before another issue of this paper shall reach our readers we will part with the old year and prepare to welcome the new. Reminiscence is to most of us less agreeable than hope, and the new more joyous in anticipation than the old in experience. Yet we part with the old year kindly, whatever of good or ill it has brought us, knowing that it is an allotted part of our life, and that-much of its record depended upon ourselves. We have the opportunities of one twelve-month less in this world, and ought to be so instructed by that which is past to turn the next to

account. It will not be an ex

clusively "happy year" to all, whatever its first days may be, and despite all the good wishes that will be uttered on New Year's morning. Yet may'it bring to every one of our readers a large preponderance of jcy over sorrow, and of good over calatnity. May it be a season of less care and unrest than the year that Ls just passing—a season of devotiter trust, and of more constant peace.

Tnfi "CONTINENTAL," last night, was a" complete, unqualified, magnificent success in every respect. The Kitchen was a success, the costumes of ye olden time were a success, the tableaux were a success, the singing was a success, the visit of the Indianapolis people was a success, it was asuecess. financially, and it was a success in general uncomfortableness. This latter, however, was no fault of the managers, but the people themselves. The fact is, .just about one-half the people who were there ought to have stayed away. The idea of the whole town turnings out to an impromptu Sunday School affair, got ten tip in three daysj-we presume was not thought of by the ladies and gentlemen who were instrumental in preparing' this entertainment^

We alig.lL not attempt a description of* the novel kiich.en, the antique dresses, the ancieiit crockery,: implements^ cooking utensils, the beautiful tableaux, the burlesque old folks—the fact is, it is too big a thing to put on paper-and do all par ties justice, in the limited space we have at the late hour which we write.

A leading feature of tlie entertainment was the appearance of some fifteen people from Indianapolis, under the direction of Mr. A.,G. WilJjirdt as.JiFaih.er. J£ew,Rj?. who sang the songfMjf olden timej ajjd af terwards appeared in a series of very beautiful tableaux. They will return to their home, bearing the assurance that the people.of tbo Congregational Church and Sabbath School feel very grateful to them for their valuable assistance on last in "SOWING WILD OATS!"—An exchange has the followibg words on the prevalent ^opinion among parents that their sons, 'when they start out in the world and prove a little wild, are merely "sowing their wild oats," and will eventually come out, not only unharmed, but in the end purified and impregnable to future tempta lions. We make bold to prononnce this a mistaken idea. There is nothing more important—there is no duty more imperative upon parents—than that they Should know where their children are at night ff you want to insure the juin of your iohildren, give them perfect' liberty after |dark. You Can not do anything more suicidal to their future happiness, nor surer to eventuate iheir total ruin, than to allow them to be out after night to fol low their own inclinations, on your supposition that they are merely "sowing their wild oats." They are sowing a seed that will bring forth evil fruit. Let your son be ever so pure in spirit and in deed, and he will be certain to fall in "with those who will corrupt him and under mine all his good qualities if thrown upon the world to "sow his wild oats." Parents should bear in mind that "as ye sow so shall ye reap," and if your children are to see the sights (or the elephant, if vou like), there is nothing that they sjiou

Id see that you should not

seo with them. We do not mean that you should be too strict, nor that your son should be placed under restraints that will break down his spirit or give him an idea that he has not equal liberty with his associates. You cannot expect young men to be sour -faced saints—they must have certain pleasures and recreations But what we do mean is that you should know that your son is not a frequenter of vile resorts. It is certain that a man will not be a drunkard unless he lays the ifoundation in youth, by evil associations. Not one man in a hundred will do an iniquitious act unless he has been set the example—virtually taught to do it. Nineteen out of twenty young men who are allowed perfect freedom at night will be injured by it. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of core. Therefore we say that there is nothing more important than that your children should be in at night, or, if they must be abroad, you should be with them, or at least know Where they are. We do not believe in a child seeing life, as it is called, with all its terrible lusts and wickedness, to have all his imagnationa set on fire with the flames of vice. Nobody goes through this fire without being burned, and the scars will stick. No, do not let your children "sow their wild oats" if you can prevent it

ON Monday last, Johu -W Dodson wait cleaning out an old musket barrel, and not xupposing that there was any powder in it, run red hot ramrod down the barrel, when, to his astoniahment, a pretty heavy charge of powder was blown into his face, causing quite a change in his complexion. His face was literally covered with powder which was blown through the skin, the blood oozing out at every sore. Several days more will pass before ie will he able to attend to business.— Sullimn Union.

USEFUL AMUSEMENTS.—Assuming the necessity of both the social and secular elements, ffif any atteQipt id attract and guide the ycdng in the right way for innocent ami beneficial diversions and amusements, it obvious to remark thsj one of the purest and simplest ways of interesting and leading forward the young aright, in this matter, is that of private social parties, in which the old and young, parents and Children, girls and boys of suitable, age for receiving the common benefit, mingle together for the sole purpo«e of friendly intercourse and mutual pleasure And improvement, by conversation, mtiaic and BACH other things, with or without refreshments, may be appropriate to a Christian home and to Christian people.

To some excellent persons, the tim6, labor and expense, slight SB eacb may be, may seem of little importance, if not a positively culpable waste, but we. are persuaded they greatly err in their judgment of the effect of them upon the young, and their usefulness to all. In the oountry* where the villages are small and the population comparatively sparse, social gatherings as a means of strengthening the ties of home and its virtues, and of filling the young mind with wholesome food for its cravings, and the young heart with increasing love of the pure and good can hardly be exaggerated. The time passed in these home ''sociables," in which friends arid neighbors mutually greet and enliven each ether, is well spent. In many instances it returns an hundred fold in advantages to the growing1 character of the young, and in fresh courage and iiood cheer to those *rho are bearing the heavy burdens of the day.

A LAtVTEB in Terre Haute lately went to an editors office to cane him. The doctors have dug thi'ee bullets out of his frajne, and say there is another one that they can't find, which will probably kill him.—[Exchange When will reckless public learn that it is dangerous to conie foolin' round newspaper men

The above we find in the St. Louis "Dispatch." It is news Oyer hei-e. Still it is one of the "might have beens," aiid should serve as an intimation of what beligereut lawyers, or any other man, may expect in cases of the above mentioned kind.

ATTEMPTED MURDER-—A horrible affair occurred at Blackburn Bro's saw mill on Monday morning, Dec. 18th, the facts of which run about as follows: Sylvester Meeks hadjunt engaged to work for Levi Farr, and was to commence as soon as breakfiast was over. Farr stepped out to get an armful of stove wood and Meefes followed him otit. While Farr was stooping to pick up the wood Meeks attacked bim with ia billet of wood and struck him four.or five, times On the head, which he intended should kill him instantlv, but failing to kilL hitn he be camte frightened and fled t?'the woods ?and hafl. made his escape so far, Nor doerf the matter stop here. Circustances are sufficient to prove that others are con -cerned, and that it was a Scheme of several days plotting. A bottle of whisky has been found which is no doubt drug ged, and will be analyzed in a short time •Two ot the Meeks' were at work at the 'milljand they have both absconded to •'gether. We defer sayine any more about •it at present—Sullivan TJnwn.

For the Daily Exprett,]

The Southwestern Railroad. "J. O. Jr" in the "Express" this morn ing, has &oWn correctly the amount which the tax payers of the city of Terre Haute will have to pay. if f150,000 is voted to be invested in this the wildest'of new railroad projects. I might say with proprietv, that it is a wild goose chase, and about as likely to be remunerative, or of great utility, as the pursuit after wild geese. The only nests-to get feath ered', will be the corporators and bond holders! "J. O. J." has not spoken unadvisedly or without calm reason and judg iment as to the value of stock in such a road. The friends of that enterprise must not suppose that the intelligent tax payers of this city are wholly ignorant of the geographical route of this road, nor of the amount of 'products alorig its route, from which" traffic in'freight will become a sourceof revenue As to passenger travel it will be just about as limited and transitory as the migration of the wild goose. But little is claimed for it on this score.

It is time for the tax-payers of Harrison township, and especially of the city, to pause. Through wisdom is a house builded, and by understanding it is established. I have not time today to state many reasons but ofier some sub stantial arguments against the investment in this road. It is proposed, I believe, to build it to Cairo, the Southwestern point of Illinois, and from there to the iron miues of Missouri. That it will afford a moist direct and feasible route to obtain the iron ores of Missouri for our furnaces. This is a great mistake and a delusion of the schemists. To the Iron Mountain and Pilot Knob of Missouri, via Terre Haute and Vandalia R. R., and St. Louis, is about 225 miles.- To the other mines (hematite ores) about 250 miles. A bridge is now building at St Louis, over which the iron ores of Missouri, and the block coal of Clay county, will soon be freighted, without the extra expense of ferrying, or breaking of bulk. No other route is, or can be as good and cheap The reciprocal trade of this route will make it more advantageous than any other Now, let us take a glance at this contem-

lated Southwestern Road. What is there, the way, in the middle, or at the end, (granting that there is to be an end,) to give hope even, of a business sufficient to pay the interest on bonds it will be.neces sary to create to build it? I do most sincerely pred'Ct that it is a house under taken to be built without counting the cost ~that it will be a house without roof, or chimneys to carrr off the smoke. To Cairo is about 200 to 225 miles. From Cairo to the Iron Mountain is about 100 miles more, making over 325 miles, or 100 miles farther than by St. Louis. But C«pe Girardeau is named as one point for this road. Very well. Look at the map Is Cape Girardean much better? Count up your miles, and survey your route across rivers, ridges and mountains, and you will find it, crossing the river at CapeGirardeau, farther by a good many miles than by St. Loui.*, and costing more to build it than is contemplated. But, more hereafter. TAXPAYER.
