LAST STONE ON THE STATE-HOUSE. Various Documents Putin It—A Small Fourth of July Celebration—Height of the Dome. The ceremony of laying the last stone on the walls of the new State-house was performed at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon, and was gone through with in a manner creditable to all who participated. The band from the Zoo Theater furnished the patriotic music for the occasion, and all the accessories were present to make the ceremony what it should be. At 2 o’clock the march was taken up for the top of the walls, which was accomplished by climbing the winding stairs, about as laborious a piece of work as one would care to undertake on a day as hot as was yesterday. Once at the top, the band began to discourse patriotic music, after which numbers of cannon fire-crackers were fired, which was the first intimation that many of the citizens had of the fact that there was anything unusual going on at the house. The flag, meanwhile, had been unfurled from the top of an improvised roast that had been attached to the top of the derrick that surmounts the dome, and then the order given to hoist the last stone that was needed to complete the stone-work of the walls of the dome. This was appropriately draped in the national colors, and bore the inscription of the date. Inside this stone was a copper box, containing copies of all the papers published in the city, the last report of the Board of State-house Commissioners, a copper plate having engraved upon it the names of all the contractors and bosses on the different branches of the work, architects, etc. In addition to these, there was a complete list of the names of all persons employed in any capacity upon the building. When the stone was laid three cheers were given, and repeated cheers for different persons connected with the work. Everything was informal, but all was done in the best of style, and there is no reason to be ashamed of the work in any of its features. The firing of crackers was resnmod, and several balloons were successfully inflated and set adrift A splendid view may be had from the summit of the dome as it now is, which will be greatly improved when the work is completed. There now remains only to put up the iron work, which will be spoedily done. The dome will then be 235 feet high, over fifty feet higher than the court-house tower. The fact that the last stone was iaid practically on the Fourth of July must be accepted as a kind of preliminary dedication of the magnificent structure to patriotic purposes. It was an auspicious oinen. The celebration was in every respect, and was accomplished without any one of the many, who paiticipated, being injured. Mall Matter for June. During the month of June 437,978 mail letters, 155,387 newspapers and 74,386 mail postal cards were, delivered in this city. During the same time 232,297 letters and 62,385 postal cards were collected. The Alpha Home for Colored Women.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: All the comets are now practically invisible. One in right ascension, eight hours eighteen minutes, declination fifty-eight degrees north, might be seen with a large telescope. It is near the great bear’s nose, ranging nearly with the two bottom stars in the dipper—twice as far from them as they are apart None of the late comets has been worth much to anybody but the discoverers.
