Occasionally the curious crowd in the AVall street court of squire's bench neglect to remove their hats when his honor yells, "Off with your hats, there or I'll tine you for contempt!" and a dozen hats disappear from bald heads, nicely-combed heads, and heads of thick and variously-shooting locks, so simultaneously and quickly as to suggest the agency of some mysterious piece of mechanism.
To say that base ball is the rage in Terre Haute this season would be to put it mildly. A match game draws almost equal to a circus. Reserved and dignified citizens, who have never been suspected of giving their valuable time to anything less than national politics, have unconsciously selected their favorite clubs, and discuss the subject with the same gravity as that bestowed upon the vetoing of an important measure by the Chief Magistrate. This is right. The mind should occasionally be relieved from contemplation of the mighty problems of the epublic.
A Seventli street man who was swindled by a peddler is devoting the remainder of his life to getting revenge peddlers in general. He will talk one of them five or six hours at a stretch, leading him on in the vain hope that he is going to buy, but alays concluding with "I will know .. hether I can take it to-morrow, so just drop in during the afternoon." This is to get him to come again so that he can give him another round. He says that a peddler sold him an alleged pear tree that developed a crop of crabapples so sour that a hog which ate some of them died, and was discovered to be a clear case of pickled pork.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has fin{iliv settled all its difficulties with the authorities of Jersey City by agreeing to pay 1 per cent, on' valuation of $3,000,000 annually into the city treasury.

The Salt Lake Tribune says: There is now a gap of little more than six hundred miles between the approaching ends of the Northern Pacific railroad, which is being closed up at the rate of nearly four miles a day. There are 816 miles of completed road between St. Paul,-Minn., and Forsyth, M. T., and 497 miles finished on the Pacific Coast side, bringing that end of the line to Rock Island, M. T. A daily line of four-liorso stages has commenced running between the two ends of the lino, and by October 1st the schedule passenger time between Cliicago and Portland will be reduced to eight days, which is less than the present time between the two cities by way of San Francisco.

Work has been commenced in earnest on the Washington & Western railroad, formerly the Washington & Ohio, and the syndicate which now has control of the road announce their determination to. complete it as early as possible. The road has been completed to Round Hill, fifty-two miles lroin Alexandria, Va., and graded four miles beyond this point to Snickcrsville.

A feature of the road will be the easy grade over the Blue Ridge mountains, as the maximum eastward is 70.2 feet, and westward 98 feet, with a maximum curvature of eight degrees. On the Pennsylvania road the mountain grade westward is 11(5 feet, and on the Baltimore & Ohio 122 feet. These figures were obtained from an authoritative source, and were ascertained by actual surveys of the roads.
Proposed Lecture.

This lecture is promised, at request of a number of our citizens who express interest in learning the observations of a gentleman who has resided for several years in the country bordering upon Puget Sound and had unusual facilities to know whereof he speaks.
Mr. McCoy is a native of the State— known to many of our citizens from former service in the Army as a meritorious line officer of the Thirty-ninth Regiment of Indiana Mounted Infantry, and his subsequent service to the State as Clerk of the Supreme Court for two terms. "Seats will be free, no pay for entrance required and no collection. The public is cordially invited.

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
Full Report at tlio Fourth Day's Proceedings. Promptly at 9 o'clock yesterday morning the teachers of Vigo county met and held their fourth session. The attendance was large, there being many visitors present besides the tea«liers. The meeting was called to order by Superintendent "Allen, and the music ana prayer conducted by Prof. M. Seiler.
The first exercise on the programme was a continuation of the paper on oral' reading, by Prof. Seiler, who commenced speaking by relating the way in which oral reading may be successfully taught. This is accomplished by the teacher giving the pupil actual practice in oral reading and not by giving him lectures upon the subject and ^propounding rules to him. All lessons should consist in (1) exercises which may developethepower of the mind and thought and which may call forth the emotions which are concealed. This should be done by carefully examining the words as to their composition, derivation afld meaning, and the figurt of speech. (2) Exercises which should bring forth by oral expression the thought and emotions. Mr. Seiler also spoke of the way in which the voice may be modulated.
Following this Prof. Eli F. Brown read his fourth paper on arithmetic, which consisted of a thorough treatise on percentage. lie said in business nearly all the problems in percentage were solved under case 1. Problems were given to the teachers, in the computation of which there wasseldom a unanimous result. Prof. Brown believes in teaching pupils how to obtain results'rather than the reasons for the process, or more than one method for the same-result. The latter .process is too confusing to pupils, yet teachers should know all processes.
Prof. W. W. Byers sang a solo in a creditable manner and was heartily applauded.
Following this Prof. Seiler read a discourse on geography, which related principally to the mathematical portion of the subject. All of his lectures are very interesting and can not fail to impart a great amount of knowledge. Another solo was sung by Miss Simp son and was received with applause.
Prof E. F. Brown continued his work on drawing, proceeding to teach curved lines on the elementary square, thence by gradual steps the pupil would bo lead to the sketching of objects and to the perceptive.
The noon intermission was taken until 1:30 o'clock, at which time the Institute reassembled with probably the largest attendance since the Institute has been in session
Prof. M. Seiler resumed hisdiscourse on georaphy, and was listened to with great attention.
Following this Col. W. E. McLain read an interesting paper on "The Life and writings of Robert Burns." The discourse snowed that it had received careful study and attention.
The next exercise was by Prof. Win. A.Jones, who chose as his subject "The Idea of -.1 Nation." Prof. Jones was formerly the president of the Normal School, but was compelled on account of his health to resign his position. He is one of the finest thinkers in this vicinity. His paper was so abstract in its reasoning that it required the closest attention to follow his line of thought.
The afternoon recess was taken, after which Wm. Mack proceeded to reply to J. II. Beadle's discourse on "Protective Tariff." He commenced speaking by saying that it. was true that free trade among the nations of antiquity had made them great and rich, but it did not preserve them. Nothing remains to-day of the Tyre, and ancient Alexandria, because free trade did not have the power to preserve. He also stated that the American nation is leading the world in invention and civilization, and that this was due to the stimulation of our industries by a protective tariff. He declared himself against Chinese immigration, and spoke in ITnfriendIv terms of all foreign immigration. England surpasses America in the manufacture of woolen goods, and that is about all.
The attendance at the institute is very large. There are 122 teachers en enrd'ed upon the secretary's books. The following .is the programme for to day:

The Vinccnncs Reunion. The McKeen Cadets returned last night from Vmcennes, where they had been in attendance upon the reunion and prize drill. Tlicy won the first prize of ?22f), and a special prize of an elegant silver cup, valued at $75. This reunion was not run on the Lafayette plan, and the company received the prize money and the cup. The latter will be forwarded as soon as it is engraved by Fred Ilirsch, a prominent Vineennes jeweler, who offered it as a prize.
The company took part in the street parade yesterday, and also in the sham battle, which closed the reunion. The Cadets made lliedccisive charge by the Union forces, which ended the battle. The line was made up of but two companies, the Cadets and the Monroe uards, with the former on the right. A ter prel imi nary skirmishing,i which the rebels had the ascendency, the command was given to charge, with fixed bayonets, at donble time. The Cadets kept the double time for a few steps, and then broke into a full run, leaving the Monroes far in the rear. On they Went, yelling like demons at every, step, and the rebels were unable to bear up against it. A number of them threw down their guns and ran, the rest showed fight, but were captured and disarmed. The rebel battery was captured by the Monroes, aided by the Cadets. Captain Welton, who commanded the Union forces, in congratutating the company on its fighting qualities, said: "Boys, voa fought mighty well, but you ran too d—d fast!
After participating in a long street parade and the sham battle, abase ball nine from the Cadets took oft'their coats and defeated a picked nine, which included three or four players of the Excelsior, the crack Vineennes club. The score was:
Inning 12 3 4 Cadets 4 4 3 0 Picked Nine 0 2 0 1
0 0-13 0 0 3
The Cadet nine was composed of Robinson, p. Briggs, e. Duddleston, 1st b. Coleman, 2d Calder, 3d b. Watson, s. s. Sanders, 1. f. Yates, c. f. Kramer, r. f.

In the Price scduction trial in the criminal court, yesterday, the defendant took the stand and testified in liis own behalf. It 11 o'clockthe evidence was all in, and T. A. Foley addressed the jury for the prosecution. The case went to the jury last evening, and at about half-past nine o'clock they came with a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was fined one dollar and sentenced to the State prison for three years./
The interest in this case during its progress has been very great. Some of the testimony was worse than suggestive, and it would be well for morals if its repetition should never occu

James M. Dishon and no nother Goes forth in haste With bills and pate,
We call attention to the Farwell House, Chicago, one of the most centrally located nouses in that city. The proprietor, Enoch Wood, is a gentleman, and kiiows how to run a hotel. The rooms are elegant, the table firstclass, and it is a first-class house in al.l its appointments.
All Enviable Reputation.
It is with pleasure we allude to the manufactures of the well known chemists, Joseph Burnett & Co., of Boston. They have won by their merits and attractiveness a place beyond that occupied by any other similar manufactured goods in this country.
Their Cocoaine for the hair, and a superior Cologne water, have become famous for their excellence.
In addition to these preparations are Burnett's Standard Flavoring Extracts for cooking purposes, and we cannot show better evidence of their superiority than by referring our readers to the testimonials of all the leading popular hotels in the country. These are published in Burnett's Floral HandBook, an attractive and valuable little pamphlet, which is distributed gratuitously by the trade.
All respectable dealers sell Burnett's select goods, and all lovers of choice things will do well to buy them in preference to the cheap and impure articles now in the market.
