CITY NEWS. , “Open House.”—The proprietors of the Herald extend a ipeeial invitation to all their friends to call and see them during the day and partake of such hospitalities as have been prepared for their especial consideration. The sanctum has been improvised into a reception room for the entertainment of all who may call. Carriers’ Address.—The readers of the Herald are requested to patronize with a liberal hand the Carrier who will this morning wait upon them with the accustomed New Year’s Address. AYe are enabled to pronounce it an extremely well written address, and ask that the humble carrier to whose patient labors our readers are indebted for the early daily reception of the Herald, despite the impediments of rain, snow, frost, ice and winter’s cold, shall receive a tangible appreciation of his labors in the shape of the cheap liberality afforded by an investment in a copy of his address. _ Supreme Court.—The judges of the Supreme Court have returned and will open Court to-morrow. Minstrelsy. — Remember the advent of Sam Sharpley’s minstrels, opening In this city on Thursday evening for a season of three nights.

Terre Haute Freight Depot.—Workmen are busily employed in removing the Terre Haute Freight Depot, so considerably demolished by the explosion of the locomotive, week before last. This road is noted for the excellent manner in which its repairs are kept up - b The Reason Why.—To some of our citizens the firing at midnight may have been inexplicable. Fo rtheir benefit, we will state that it was done by special order of competent military authority for the purpose of announcing the death of 1805 and simultaneous birth of 1800. Expected.—A dispatch has been received at the Executive Office, announcing the fact that the Twenty-eighth United States Colored Volunteers, Colonel Russell, and the Thirtyfirst Indiana Volunteers, Lieutenant Colonel James R.

They were in charge of Major J. A Burbank, Indian Agent for the Iowa reservation. Five of them belong to the Iowa tribe, and have with them an in. terpreter, E. Domeu by name. The other two belong to the Sacs and Foxes—George Gomes interpreter. The party took dinner at the Shenhan House. They go to Washington on business connected with tluur settlements In the

Police Court.—Two persons, for intoxication, were before the Mayor on Saturday, and fined §9 40 each. Not being able to pay the assessment, they both went to jail. One case of “ disturbing the peace ” was up, and the disturber lined §10, with fifteen days Hi jail. For the same offense, an individual went to jail for thirty days, and paid §11 50 by way of line. William Worther was arraigned on the charge of erecting a slaughter house on East Market street, between Winston street and the corporation line, in violation of the statute in such case made and provided. He was fined §27 10. Paid. Mr. F. P. Cunningham.—This gentleman, with a sense of propriety and happiness of thought rarely equalled, merits our best thanks for a mark of favor exhibited toward us on last evening. By way of sweetening the trials of an editor’s life, he caused to be sent us yesterday evening, as a New Year’s present, a very handsome mammoth cake, whose ments we propose to discuss during the day. The cake is certainly a beautiful specimen of pastry skill, and with its snow-white saccharine coating, embossed all t ver with ingenious filagree work is a capital advertisement of the fact that Cunninghum’s skill does not lie altogether in “ ice cream.” He may be, and undoubtedly is, an “ice cream man,” but he is somethirg more. He is, at least, a cake man beside, and above all is a gentleman. We presume all our friends know where Mr. Cunningham’s confectionery establishment is located. The place is the north-east corner of Illinois and Market streets, and is a very suitable establishment at which to procure the necessary supplies of confectioneries, fruits, cakes, etc., for New Year’s day. The “ Fair.”—The Catholic Fair at Masonic Hall was concluded on Saturday night. It was a great success. The sum realized must have been very large, although we arc not advised of the exact amount. We never saw more active solicitors in our life than we saw there. At every turn you took you was sure to be accosted by some one with a paper and pencil in hand, asking you to take a “chance” in some “scheme,” the merits of which were unfoldf'd to you with surprising volubility. None were disfranchised from taking part in these solicitations. Little girls and small boys were not deemed too small to dispose of “ chances.” Old ladies and old gentlemen, young men and young ladles, matrons aud heads of families, all took part in the work of making the “ Fair” a success, by presenting to the luckless visitor such an infinitude of “ schemes ” that he was always sure to be depleted of his resources to an alarming extent. The net proceeds of the Fair will certainly be up in the thousands. The members of the Church certainly merit the oommendation of thanks for their vigorous “drumming” as many a collapsed pocket-book will attest with mute eloquence. Among the tables which especially did an extensive business, we are constrained to mention the one presided over by Mrs. Ryan and Miss Alice Conlah. The lucky Individual who drew the gold watch was not present last evening, but we will inform him that his number is 131. The holder of this lucky number should feel especially good, as he is the fortunate one among two hundred and fifty unsuccessful ticket holders who have no appreciable return for their per capita investment of §l The “Fair” concluded with a grand hop, which was certainly one of the most lively affairs of the season. At ten minutes to twelve, the near proximity of Sunday morning bade the festive assemblage disperse, and thus closed the very suecessful Catholic “ Fair ” of 1865.

New Tears Day.—“ A Happy New Year*” to our readers. Not with hollow lip service do wc make this utterance, but from our. “heart of hearts.” 1865, with all its events crowding fast upon each other in their vast significance, has gone from our sight, and this morning has ceased to be. But the old year can never be forgotten. It witnessed the closing scenes of the great rebellion In our own country, which for four long, weary years had been the theater of carnage and devastating civil war. It brought peace with all its attendant blessings. The bloody habiliments of war were superseded during the year 1865 by the white robe of gentle Peace. For this, then, let the old year be ever held memorable. Ita long, cold winter, its tardy spring, its beautiful summer, its food-full autumnal garners, all now belong to the dead past, and wc can only think of the old year with kindness. May the ne\y year treat as equally gently. Let us all, then, this morning, take a retrospect, and let us profit by whatever of faults or shortcomings have marked our conduct, to the end that gliding years may not pass over our heads without a mellowing, ripening influence upon our characters. We know not what the future may have in store for us. Our duty we do know, and unhappiness rarely comes to any one in the discharge of duty. Faith is the staff upon which we must all lean. We do not know what a day may bring forth, but we are promised seed time and harvest while the world shall stand. Why should not the year 1866 be indeed a “happy year?” Prosperity sits upon every band. We are at peace with the whole world. We have neither war, pestilence nor famine. Wc have within our reach all the elements that go to secure the good of our es-

tate.

A sure test of conduct is found in retrospection. Do we love to recur to the past? It is because our actions have been such as to leave only blessed recollections. Do we regret to visit the tomb of departed events? It is because turpitude reigned in the heart, and not virtue. There is nothing so terrible as remorse, and nothing so soothing as an approving conscience. “ The sweetest cordial we receive at last Is conscience of virtuous actions past.” Let us then start out this morning with good resolves, not errant purpose which the morning sun shall drink up with his beams, but with that strong and indefatigable will which crushes down difficulties as a boy treads down the heaving frost lands of autumn. Let us then set out aright on this the first day of the new year; nol timidly and hesitatingly because we can not see the path always clear, As we said above, faith is the staff upon which we must all lean. There arc more silver liniugs to earth’s clouds than can be seen looking through moody glasses. Hope and good cheer are essential ingredients in human happiness. “We speak with the lips, and we dream in the

soul,

Of some better and fairer day. Forever beheld in our race to a goal, Shining golden afar on the way. Through age and through youth, go the world yet befall, What there may still doth man hope the better for all. It is not a smiling illusion that shams. Nor a folly that reason should scorn; ’Tis the voice of the soul which so loudly proclaims That wc for the better were born. And tbatj which the inner voice bids us be-

lieve,

Can never the hope of a spirit deceive.” We have, then, something to live for. Every one feels it, though he may not be able to express it ns beautifully ns does Schiller in the above. Our readers will please excuse all this moralizing. It occurs to us thatthe close of the old year and the dawn of a new is a proper time to stop and think. We wish all our readers a Happy N ew Year. May unalloyed peace, prosperity, and Heaven’s other choicest benefactions attend them during the year Eighteen Hundred and Sixty-Six. Homicide.—Night before last the vicinity of the Union Depot was the theater of a tragedy, by which a man named John Hart was killed. The particulars, as we learned them, are these: On Tuesday of last week, a man named William Howard, and the man Hart, stopped at the Spencer House and we»e assigned to the same room. They were strangers to each other, and some time in the morning, Howard awakening discovered his room mate in the act of fingering through the pockets in a suspicious manner. Howard immediately got up, when Hart took to his heels. Howard, on examination^ found that he had been robbed of §65, and started in pursuit of ■ the fleeing burglar, who made rapid time downstairs into the street, and succeeded in making good his escape for the time. Howard informed the police of the facts, and since that time has kept up a close watch for Hart. Yesterday it came to the knowledge of How ard that Hart would leave the city on the Terre Haute nine o’clock p. M. train. We are informed that Howard was vested with authority to arrest the man wherever he could find him. Repairing to the depot between eight and nine o’clock, he found Hart there, and accosted him. Hart, wc are advised, replied by grasp*ng him - by tbc collar. How ard drew a revolver, and tired, the ball entering Hart's head, inflicting a fatal wound. Hart was conveyed to the office of Dr. Howard, on South Illinois street, aud thence to the Western House, where he died about two hours after the occurrence. Hart was from St. Louis. Howard lived a few miles from the city. Whether the homicide was justifiable or not, we can not say We presume that Mr. Howard will allege that it was done in self-defense. Howard says that he did not aim to kill Hart, but merely to maim him so as to prevent his escape, and that the latter, by ducking his head to avoid the shot, brought his head within range of the ball, which otherwise would have passed through his limbs. Howard was arrested and is in jail. The Case of Captain I. J. Taylor.—This officer has been on trial before a court martial iu this city for two months, on the charge of peculation, while quartermaster of Camp Carrington. We understand that the principal defalcation is in the matter of wood. It is alleged that surprisingly large quantities of the article disappeared during his administration in a manner not contemplated by the United States army regulations. We do not know whether these charges are true or false, and presume that this is the very question thatthe court martial has been organized to determine. Two months have alreadybeen consumed in this trial, and the evidence on the part of the prosceution hasjjust been concluded. It will require two monthsTnoreTtefore the defence shall have done its part of the work. This will make four months devoted to one trial. Courts martial, when they drag their slow length along like this one, are very costly. We do not know how many thousand dollars the one under consideration will cost, but we are assured that its cost will be in keeping with the prodigal and profuse outlay of the times in general. We opine that, as in the case of most courts martial, the question of Captain Taylor’s guilt or innocence has been determined iu advance of the conclusion of the trial. Personal.—J. J. Wilson, Washington, D. C.; F.F. Chambers, Cambridge City; Morton Davis, Dublin; F. S. Richards, Memphis; Samuel McNeilly, Mount Morris; W. E. Maynard, Hillsboro; J. J. Brown, Pittsburg, are stopping at the Bates House. S. D. Bayless, Fort Wayne; Will T. Foster and D. E. Williamson, Greencastle; Charles Laselle, Union City; G. W. Shaw. Crawfordsville, and E. Blair, of Plainfield, arc stopping at the Palmer House. J. H. Osborn, Evansville; J. J. Murfey, Wabash, and D. C. Hunter, of Bloomington, are stopping at the Spencer House. F. J. Darnell, Greencastle; Dr. J. M. Price, Brazil; Thomas Ornes, Centerville; H. b! Johnson, and M. N. Parks, Martinsville, and W. P. Brown, of Richmond, are stopping at the Sherman House. Steamboat Intelligence.—The excursion trips of the steamer Governor Morten, on Saturday and yesterdey, were well attended. Two landings were made yesterday, viz.: at “Garner’s Landing” and “Cold Springs.” The steamer made better time than ever before. To-day at two o’clock, afternoon, the boat will make another excursion, going to “ Broad Ripple.” This being a holiday, a large crowd will be in attendance.

Rencontre.—At Esquire Fisher’s office on Saturday a case was tried, which, resulted in bringing an attorney add one of the litigants into a contest where argument was not em- ' ployed, but physical force was the arbiter of the issue. As is frequently the case, the irrepressible negro was at the bottom of the affair. It seems that a negro had gone to a clothing establishment in the city, wherein Mr. J. M. Hamlin is a partner or salesman, and had purchased a suit of- clothes, alleging that he had §900 in bank at Evansville. It subsequently turned out that the deposit was purely Imaginary, and the negro had no such sum at Evansville nor anywhere else. A capiat ad respendendum was accordingly sworn out, placed la the hands of the constable, and on Saturday afternoon the negro was returned In obedience to the writ, and the case came up on its merits. The negro employed Mr. George K. Perrin, £ prominent attorney of this city, to conduct his defense. Mr. Hamlin becoming offended at the vigor of the defense, and wanning up with the occasion, suggested that a man who would defend a negro was “ no better than a negro.” Mr. Perrin rejoined that “if the negro was honest he was as good as him (Hamlin) or any other white man.” Mr. Hamlin replied by walking into Mi’. Perrin and closing with him in a trial of strength. By the intervention of bystanders the combatants were separated. The result was that no blood was shed, and Mr. Hamlin finds a complaint filed to which he will be compelled to respond and show cause why judgment for assault and battery should not be taken against him. We did not learn what became of the

negro.

Amusements.—“ All that Glitters is not Gold,” and the “ Golden Farmer,” drew a full house at the Metropolitan Saturday night. Tonight the very attractive New Year’s bill of “ Forty Thieves,” and “ Fashionable Society.” To-morrow night has been set apart for the annual benefit of the man to whom onr theater habitues, are indebted as much,if not more than to any other man connected with the Metropolitan. We allude to the talented scenic artist, Mr. T. B. Glessing. Here is sprimafacie case of deserving merit, requiring no argument on our part, and addressing Itself to every theater goer for a substantial response in the shape of a crowded house. If there is to be a premium set upon merit, we submit that it should come in a more decided manner than mere lip serv ice, always hollow, and of no avail, unless backed by something more tangible. Mr. Glessing is willing to believe that his efforts have been appreciated. He will be convinced of the fact, if a crowded house shall assemble on to-mor-row night. The bill for the evening is an unequalled one. The “Forty Thieves,”'and “Dreams of Delusion,” in which Mr. Riley, Miss Cushman, and the whole Star Company, will api>enr, constitute the programme for the evening. Between the two pieces will be given the irresistibly comic song of the “Washerwoman’s Lament," with orchestral accompani-

ments.

Comstock, the sole agent for Dr. Swain’s Bourbon Bitters, is still doing a large amount of advertising in our columns, which haa, by so doing, led him to • large amount of trade with our leading Jobbers in his line of goods throughout the State. We notice he has also advertised the city in a neat, stylish manner by placing, in the most conspicuous places, neat cards of attraction. Mr. Comstock c-•raes highly recommended, and his successful trip through the South and West gives merit to both him and hig Bitters. They are the best and cheapest now in the market Try them and be convinced.

Trial of Kirs. Ould, the Richmond “ Lady Shooter ” — The Injured Vlan’s Evidence—Curious Career of the Parties. The trial of Mrs. Isabella Ould, on a charge of shooting B. H. Mead, her paramour, at Richmond, Virginia, on the 22d day of last September, commenced in that city on Friday. The trial created quite an excitement, and the court room was crowded with spectators. Mr. Mead on being sworn deposed that he became acquainted with Mrs. Ould in 1S63 at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, at which house he boarded, as did Mr. and Mrs. Ould. He soon became intimate with Mrs. Ould, so much so that suspicions of an unpleasant character arose in the mind of Mr. Matthews, and he imparted his auapicions to Mead, who, in consequence, left the house. Mr*. Ould was much annoyed at his leaving, and determined to follow him. Witness told her she had better not; that she had a good husband and ought to keep with him. About this time Mr. Ould and Matthews had occasion to go North, leaving their wives at home, together, with the understanding that they were to follow their

spouses.

Mrs. Matthews did so, but Mrs. Ould refused. and obtained board in another house in the city, and in the course of a frw weeks Mead went to board in the same house with her. He lived with her about two weeks, but on account of his relationa “ talking so much about it” he concluded to leave her, and to go to Manchester, which he did on the 8d of April, 1864, but still continued to visit her occasionally. Mrs. Ould, left to her own resources, obtained a small store, and set up in business by herself, and sent an invitation to witness to come and board with her aptln. He declined to do so, and gave as a reason that he was about to marry a young ladv at the close of the war, or probably before. Upon the fall of Richmond Mead left the city, and went to his parent’s home in Alexandria, whither he was followed, in a few days, by the prisoner. He asked her business there, and she told him that she had been to Baltimore to procure some medicine, and as she wanted to talk to him on important business, she had come to Alexandria. The prisoner then asked him if it was true he was to be married; he told her it was. She departed for Richmond, aqd was followed by Mead in about a week afterwards, and both occupied the same house again. * It seems at this period that Mead wished her to leave the house, her presence interfering somewhat with his matrimonial arrangements. Mrs. Ould consented, and said that a sergeant in the 3d Pennsylvania Cavalry had proposed marriage to her if she would go to Europe with him. Mead told her he believed the soldier was a married mm, which, on inquiry, was proved to be a fact, and the cavalryman was consequently discarded. She next said that a mechanic named Joseph McCay, had proposed marriage to her. Mead made ho objection to him, and left Richmond for his home in Alexandria, in order to fetch his niece who was to act as bridesmaid at his own wedding. He returned to Richmond with his niece, and called at the house of the prisoner, slipped upstairs into her room and tnero discovered her with McCav. He was unobserved as he imagined, by the couple, and so concluded to beat a retreat. Before however he cou id reach the street, Mrs. Ould was by his side and entreated him to come back and she would explain all. He told her she must leave the house, and she said that if she had the money the next morning she would go. He said money should not be any excuse, and offered her §80, telling her henceforth they must meet bnt as friends and nothing more. Prisoner said she would not part in that manner, but would

follow him wherever he went.

He bid her good-bye, hoped she would prosper through life and turned to leave her, when she drew a pistol and shot him in the back. A pile of bricks stood near, and though wounded, he picked up several and threw at her, the prisoner meanwhile continuing to lire more shots at him. His condition was becoming critical from loss of blood, and the woman still attacking him, when both parties were arrested. On his cross-examination, he admitted he had lired.an impure life with her; that she had given him §46 in gold when he went to Alexandria, and §150 in greenbacks when she came to see him at that place; that after he was shot, she returned him the §80 he had previously given her; that she had bought the suit of clothes that he then had on, and that he had borrowed §160 in Confederate money from her for the purpose of purchasing a pair of pants. Several loving letters were read from the witness to Mrs. Ould, in which he expressed undying devotion to her. The case will probably be continued for several days. Statistics of Suicide in France. The celebrated Dr. Brierre de Boismont of Paris, has just published a report on suicide, in which is given many interesting and curious details. During the present century over 300,000 Frehchmen have voluntarily shouldered their knapsacks for the undiscovered country from whose bourne there is no return. Of these cases the Doctor has carefully annalyzed 4,595 cases. Taking France at large he finds that the average of«uicides are of people between the age of forty and fifty; while in Paris the largest number occur betwen twenty and thirty. One child under five and two under nine killed themselves. Suicides are more frequent between seventy and eighty than between thirty and forty. People seem generally to prefer self-murder in fine weather, and by daylight. For the months of November ancl December, de Boismont’s figures are 298 and 276, while for June and July they are 463 and 487. Out of 2,752 suicides, only 658 were by

night.

Eight o’clock in the morning seems to be the favorite hour—noon next, while seven in the evening yields the fewest. Fewer mountain6 rs commit the folly than inhabitants of the low lands, and fewer women than men, in the proportion of 1 to 2.76 in single, 1 to 2.49 in married life, and 1 to 1.32 in widowhood. But between the ages of forty and fifty, at which the maximum of suicides is reached, the married outnumber the single and widowed combined, in the proportion of 3 to 1. The following table exhibits the various modes of suicide in France, between the years
