Who knows, as I know, all the grisf and pain That come from wounded hop and blighted home; A broken temple bullded once again, Zhen shattered from its base to airy dome; A raided waste where erst Its form had lain.

That cloud and storm would lay my Lden waste, I had not dared to reach the giddy height On which my love and hope were fearless placed Unt love and sunshine dazzled o'er my sight And gave me there a heaven to foretaste; I could have died, and trusted to the tomb To make immortal lile s supernal bloom !

HIS EARLY CAREER HIS EARLY POSITION AT THE INDIANA BAR HIS BETTLKMENT IN CALIFORNIA HIS EN VI ABL IS REPUTATION HIS PERSONAL CHARACTER. The following admirable sketch of the late Jndge Hester is furnished by a gentleman of culture, his warm friend: Judse C. P. Hester. LL. D., died at his residence, at San Jose, California, February 15. 174. about the aze oi seventy-seven years. Judge Hester might almost be called a nativeof Indiana, his parents having come to this state and settled at cuarlestown, Clark county, when the subject ot this sketch was a mere lad. His early advantages were quite limited, but he acquired a good common English education which, with bis love of knowledge and studious habits, soon ripened into a well educated man. Ha was a great lover of the law as a science and chose it for bis profession. He read fTis profession with Judge James Scott, one of Indiana's first supreme court Judges. . Soon alier his admission to the bar, Judge Hester removed to Bloomington where he continued to reside until he emigrated to California in 184U, with the party lrom tnis state, headed by the Kev. Mr. Owen. After a tedious and dangerous journey of five months they landed on the Pacific slope, and after stopping at different points for short periods, he finally settled permanently at the place where he died in Santa Clara valley, one of the most desirable and beautiful in all the wide world. Judge Hester took rank among the first class lawyers of this state before he left it. As a close, analytical lawyer, he had few equals, and then ilia professional pride was sharpened and - quickened by constant contact and competition with such men as the late Judges Charles Dewey and' Isaac Naylor, John V. Payne, Charles J. Thruston, the late Judge David McDonald, Governor James Whitcomb, and others of perhaps equal celibrity. His moral and mental philosophies waa taught him by that great, learned and good man, the late Reverend Doctor Andrew Wyley, lor many years president of the state cniversity. The first time the writer ot this met Judge Hester was at the November term, 1832, of the Clark circuit court, - Judge John II. Thompson presiding. There were present besides the resident attorneys John V. Payne, of Corydon, Randall Crawford and Major Henry P. Thornton, of New Albany, Judge Joseph G. Marshall, of Aiadleon, Major Henry Hurst, of Jefferson ville, James Guthrie, afterwards United States senator, Garnett Duncan, Charles J. Thruston, Major Henry P. Tommason, and Humphrey Marshall, from Louisville, Kentucky. During the court a passage at arms came off between Jndge Hester and Air. mroston, it being the argument of a demurrer. Judge Dewey, the writer, and others listened to the debate with great interest and close atten tion ; at the close of the argument Judge Dewey remarked to the writer: " An abe argument by both. Thruston exhibited the most polish, cultivation and varied learning, bui for a clear and forcible argument of the law question before the court, Hester had the advantage." Upon settling In California, Judge II. took high rank In the profession and entered 8t once upon an extentensive and lucrative practice, which coutinuect until he-went on the bench, where he labored lor eighteen years, bringing to the discharge of his duties as judge great legal learning and ability, incorruptible honesty, integrity and fidelity. He retired from the bench and never afterward resumed the practice. In 1S70 he vUited his friends and relatives In this state. He was received by his old neighbors and friends at Bloomington with marked attention, and with a ,vrarm ana hearty welcome. Ana trustees of the state university being in session, and knowing the assiduity with which he labored for the institution in Its infancy, they conferied upon him the honorary degree ofj LL D., as a well deserved compliment to bis great legal learning. Judge Hester, In all the relations of life, was a model man. As a husband, a lather, a citizen, a lawyer, and as a Judge. He was scrupulously honest. He was frugal and economical in his habits; was one of the closest of Students, and with his clear analytical mind and uprightness of heart, he was eminently qualihed aa a lawyer and a judge. In his family he was kind and indulgent, and it -will be there that his loss will be most severely felt. There a void has been made that will never be filled. Tbe deceased was a member of the M. E. church for more than fifty years before his death. He was a practical man, and his was a practical religion; he lived it, regulated his conduct iu all of life's duties by it. During the latter years ol his life he employed most of his time in the study ot theological questions and to tho reading of religious works. JJut he has parsed from among us. "He has gone to the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns." "Peace to his ashes.'' , THE TERRELL HOMICIDE. , A FATAL FIRE REKINDLED INTENSE AOQBAAiiu.i wi luuuur At ACT OP DE3- - PEKATION. Most readers will recall the beginning of the difficulty between Col. W. GtTerrelland the Hon. Harvey Myers In the latter part of last summer. Col. Terrell was the corres

pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, at Covington, and communicated to that pair certain allegations reflecting upon the official integrity of Mr. Myers's father. Enraged by this, tbe son made an assault upon Terrell with a knife, cuttiog and stabbing him so dangerously that bis life hung in doubt fora long time. But bis constitution rallied to a partial recovery .though the terrible effects of his wounds will never be wholly overcome. Colonel Terry, of this city, was in Covington last Friday, the day before the affray, and saw Cclouel Terrell upon the street. lie represents that the latter was so changed in personal appearance as to be scarcely recognizable byhi former acquaintances. Not only had 'old age seemed to brve placed its stamp on eery feature in the space of a few short months, but his figure was bent and doubled, and he seemed to walk with much phytic il difficulty. Added to his narrow and painful escape from death, other troubles have, come

upon him in his domesiic relations. Owing to his unfortunate habit of over arinking or other causes, bis wife had seen fit to make application for divorce, a circumstance which must have naturally distracted bis mind in his shattered, nervous condition. Under these circumstances, it would certainly have Deen the DICTATE OF PRUDENCE and common sense, for the man who bad been weil nigh his assassin, to have avoided auy situation that would necessarily bring him in contact with a man who had a right to be his enemy. It would seem at this distance that, after Mr. Myers had sent him almost to his grave, In fact, killed him, so far as his intentions and ability went, he should have been content, and no longer pursued his victim with persecution. But from the telegram it appears that in this bitterest cup of domestic affliction, Mr. Myers appears as the counsel and confidant of Mrs. Terrell in court. Is it strange hatred should be kindled to fury, and lury degenerate into madness under so exasperatlug circumstances? Stranger still, that Myers should, in these dangerous complications, permit himself, by a private altercation, heat the deadly hatred into a fight. Colonel Terrell went to his room necessarily desperate and prepared for emergencies. What could he expect but a resort to deadly measures? In an attempt to expel Terrell from bis room, Myres was snot ana Killed. Those well acquainted with the existing sentiment ol Covington and Newport where Colonel Terrell lived before eoing to Covington, a year and a half ago, say that the sympathy or the public bas been strongly with Terrell, and that this final act will be palliated if not sustained. Colonel Terrell's history is knowu in this state, and his brilliant abili ties appreciated. With his brother, he at onetime conducted the LaFayette Journal with murked success, his keen wit and sharp assaults, in one or two instances having caused some threatening personal collisions. The cloud of troubles that has grown thick about him for tbe last few months, will make a strong appeal to his friends at this time. RAILROAD CUTTING. LOW RATES WESTWAD. A New York special to the Chicago Tri bune, says: "The officers of the New fork Central and Hudson River railroads have made a discovery which has led to the re duct ion of the rates of fare to emigrants nearly fifty per cent. The three great rail roads to the west the New York Cen tral, Pennsylvania, and Erie have hitherto divided the transportation of emigrants among them, and the rates to all important western points have been uni form. It is now known that a contract was recently made by the Erie road with the In man, National, Williams & Guion, White Star, Anchor, aud State lines of steamships, whereby tickets should be sold in European cities for the transportation of passengers from New York to Chicago for ten dollars. The uniform price agreed upon between these three railroads tor such transportation is $13. By this scheme Erie bas monopolized western-bound passengers arriving by these six principal lines. Thn steamship arriving yesterday ordered at Castle Garden that all her passengers bound west be transported by the Erie road. On relinquishing their through-ticket, therefore, passengers were given tickets over tha Erie road. The Pensylvania Road has for some time had a contract for transporting west all the passengers by the Cunard steamers. This state of affairs was soon discovered by the agents of the New York Central, and was reported at the company's headquarters. The vice president of the road at once sent a letter to tbe commissioners of emigration, stating that, as these two competitors had monopolized the arrivals of emigrants at Castle Garden, his company had decided to withdraw their agent at that place. He also requested the commissioners to warn emigrants in future against the overcharges for transportation to western points made by the Erie and Pennsylvania railroads, as the New York Central road would hereafter convey passengers west for nearly 50 per cent less than the other roads do. Single tickets to emigrants by this road from here to Chicago are now 7"; to Cincinnati, $7; to St. Louis, $9 55; to Omaha, $16; to Milwaukee, t$; to Kacsas City, $15, etc. Of course, the Erie and Pennsylvania roads could not hope to successfully compete with the New York Central unless they reduced their own rates. They therefore notified the commissioners that they have pat down their charge for passenger transportation to compare with the New . York Central. The emigrants a needy class will be greatly benefitted by the competition between the railroads, but it is improbable- that these rates will continue long in effect. The Washington coi respondents announce that General Butler will be among the eulogists of Mr. Sumner when his death is announced inthe House. If tbe Essex statesman bad any regard for the fitness of things or of the wishes of the American people he wonia noid ms tongue on this occasion, but it offers him another opportunity to keep himself before the public, and for this purpose he will speak hollow words of eulogy for one who, in the purity of bis publia and private life was his antipode, and whose virtues must 'seem to him incomprehensible. He will praise tbe dead Charles Sumner. whom living he bated. He will mount tbe coffin in order that the public may see B. F. Butler. It is as If a cbarlaton should cover Sumner's grave with posters of bis quack medicines. Hartford Conrant. There Is a champion editor over In Illi nois, who, having become disgusted with ink, has retired to his fruit farm, In the southern part of the state. tyider date of March 22. he writes to a friend in the Sen tinel cilice, in (he following ecstatic strain: "Gentle Anna " has made a spread-eagle of herself down here. The service trees and E caches are showing their red and white anners, and the strawberries are a carpet of bloom. I look out on wheat neids rippling their green blades in the wind, while a bluetail fly insists that I eta a dead cat." It is pleasant to know mat spring is on tne road; she will reach here some time. While congress is vexing its economic soul whether to bave a centennial exhibition or not, Sweden bas made an appropriation to pay tha expenses of having its products fit-tino-lv disDlaved at the centennial. We must have aa exposition, or somebody will have to draw their loot out ol an un

pleasant dilemma.

CANAL - MATTERS.

THE WABASH AND ERIE CANAL. 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES AND CHIEF ENQINSER STATISTICS AND OTHER POINTS OF INTEREST. The board of trustees of the Wabash and Erie canal submitted to the governor yesterday their report for 1873. The nayigation of the canal has only been partially main tained by the contractors (the Wabash and Erie canal company) under their contract with the board, made on the 23d of June, 18GG. The reasons for the failure to maintain the navigation of the entire line during the whole season, are fully set forth in the report of the. chief engineer herewith sub mitted. The navigation would not have been maintained at all but for the aid afforded to tbe contractors by the counties along the line of the canal, under the law passed in tbe winter of 1873, which authorized the counties to subscribe in aid of the canal. . Under this law, the several counties subscribed tbe amount of $50,000. and of this sum about forty-two thousand two hundred and sixteen dollars and fifteen cents has been actually paid in and expended. The balance remains to be paid, as required, while tbe expenditures for the maintenance of the canal during the year have amounted to $58,755 52. The tolls and revenues derived from it have amounted to only $17,086 94, leaving a deficiency of more than $40,000. The contractors have intimated an Intention to abandon their contract with tbe board of trustees, which, by its terms, does not expire until the first day of July, 1878. The trustees do not admit tbe right of the contractors to abandon the contract made with them on tbe 23d ot June, 1SC6, by the terms ot which they agreed and bound themselves to preset ve the navigation, and to keep it in good condition, with all tbe structures, locks, Ac, during the fall term of the contract, and until tbA first of July, 1878. In view of the . LIBERAL ENCOURAGEMENT and support which have been afforded by the county subscriptions during the past year, and the Interest thereby secured in tbe maintenence of the canal on the part of the people in tbe valley of the Wabash, the trustees will regard it their duty to insist on the performance of the contract ac cording to its terms until tne first of July, 1878. It is more important at the present time, when the su meet of cheaD transoorta tion and tbe need of increased facilities of intercommunication between tbe western states and the Atlantic seaboard is of commanding interest and importance. There is. probably, no one route that should attract - more attention or that holds out greater inducements, or that would do more, if improved, to solve the problem of cheap transportation be tween the east and the west than tbe Wabash and Erie Canal, looking at its ter minal points, of Toledo at tbe head of Lake Erie in tbe east, and Lafayette, Attica and Terre Haute in the valley of the Wabash in the west. Tbe expenditure of a compara tively small sum cf money would put this canal from the one end to the other in good condition, and thus establish one of the most valuable water lines for the transpor tation of freight to be found in the United States west of Lake Erie. To insure this result, however, requires means, as well as powers, which the board do not possess, They can not, however, but regard tbe subject aa one well worthy ot the atten tion ot the states tnrougn wnicn this trior oughtare passes, and of the general govern ment. The accompanying statements ex hibit the condition and property of the trust and also the condition and prospects of the eanal at this time. jCANAL LANDS. There have been sold, as appears by the annual report of 1S73, of the canal lands in the Yincennes district, 1.1G0 acres, for the sum of $2,880, on account of the small quan tity remaining unsold, the receipts from this source will continue to be light. Of tbe lands east and west of Tippecanoe nothing bas been paid during tbe past year, but it is hoped, that nearly all of tbe remaining indebtedness from this source will be paid during the present year. Tbe estimated value of the asssets ot the trust are as follows: Balance on hand per re port ...... $ 31,546 00 Suspended debt, estimated at..... .... 21,472 08 Laod lu Yincennes district......... . 4T,$i 21 Lands east and west of Tippecanoe Sfili 10 Total- . $104,555 72 It is hoped and expected that a consider able amount of the suspended debt will be paid during the year. Charles Butler, James S. Hinton, Thomas Dowlino, Trustees office, west and east lands. March 25, 1874. Tbe chief engineer, J. L. Williams, reports the canal duriLg tbe season ot 1873 has been less productive of revenue and conferred less benefit upon tbe country and its ship ping interest than during any preceding year, ine authority given by the legisla ture to county boards to donate in aid of the tolls lor its maintenaoe will be of permanent value to tne work, and is conclusive evi dence of the high estimate placed upon its usefulness, by the citizens of Wabash county. Much time, however, elapsed be fore the appropriation was agreed upon in some of tbe counties, which, with other rea sons , delayed the repairs for which the money was designed. The long delay en abled other lines of transportation to carry off the porK ana grain. The local business in the lower portion of the canal, was, however, very good, over $7,000 in tolls and water rents having been collected at the Lafayette office. Mr. Colton, the general manager ot tbe contracting company, for repairs, re ports tolls and water rents collected from December 1, 1872, to December 1, 1873, at S17.0S6 94. There was paid to the several superintendents, by the county authorities, and expended bv them chiefly in the renewal of wooden structures, the sum of $40,216 85, making total means $57,303 09. Mr. Colton reports - TOTAL EXPENDITURES At $58,755 52, In maintaining the canal during the past year.

THE PERE'S WIFE. MADAM HYACINTHE LOYSON. BOMS JTERES-riNO POINTS IN THE HISTORY . OF A REMARKABLE LADY A SENTINEL REPORTER HAS A TALK WITH GENERAL BCTTERFIELD, BROTHER OF MADAM LOTSON. A Sentinel reporter yesterday called at Hotel Bates upon General F. W. Butterfirld, of Philadelphia, who is a brother of Madam Hyacinthe Loyson, the wife of the eloquent reformer. A few days since, a letter from Geneva, Switzerland, was published in the Sentinel, giving an interesting account of tbe Hyacinthe family. The reporter obtained some additional particulars from tbe general relating to the life of his sister, who has acquired a world-wide reputation as a woman of remarkable capabilities. As every one knows, Madam Loyson (her maiden name was Emily J. Dutterfield), Is an American, having been born in .new lorK in the year ltvii. When she was very young her parents emigrated to Seneca county, Ohio, seven miles from Tiffin, a lit tle village called Melmore, on the banks of Honey ceek. Soon after their removal. about the year 1836, her father (who was a carpenter Dy trade) was killed in raising a Methodist meeting house bv the falling of a bent. She was one of four children. General Butterfield being an older brother, who were thus, by this sad and unexpected be reavement, deprived of their natural proprotector and support. At a very early age Emily developed a great love for litera ture, and eagerly perused what books came within her reach. She possessed a wonderfully retentive memory, which. loinea wun studious habits, was tbe means of her storing up a vast amount of knowledge, considering the extremely limited ad vantages sne had or acquiring an education. What little schooling she did get at that time was largely obtained in an old log school house ; but by dint of application and aptness ahe excelled in all the branches in which she received instruction. At the earlj age of thirteen years she commenced teaching school, "boarding around" amonjg the familios ot the district. Several of these familios say that they well recollect that often they have known her to burn her little tallow candles all night, studying tbe lesson she was to teach tbe next day to the scholars that were almost as old again as herself. At the age of eighteen she married Mr. E. It. Merr.man, of Bucyrus, Ohio, the sou of Dr. Merrimau, the first president of tbe Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, A Chicago railroad company, tbe road then being in course of construction. Her first husband was a merchant, who, failing in tbe mercantile business (about the year lSG2)removedwith his lamily to Brook lyn. ABOUT THIS TIME She commenced writing for the press, being a correspoadent lor several New York papers. She became acquainted with Henry Ward Betcher, who took great interest in her, and r ften looked over her manuscript prior to Ls publication. Her first visit to Paris was siade in 1862, and while there she was employed as fashion writer for Madam Demorest. She returned to America a short time before her first husband's death, after which she again went to Europe and bas lived there ever since. She had two children by ber first husband, little Mary, who died at the age of (our ye&rs, and a Bon Kalph who is now with her at Geneva. During her first husband's life, they purchased property in Brooklyn lor $6,000 and paid a small Eortion ot b. Atter his death she managed, y economj and diligence iu her profession, to pay. the balance, and the property is now probably vorth thirty thousand dollars. She resided in Paris several years, when she went to Europe tbe last time, and continued corresponding for several papers in this country, besides writing for the French press, having acquired a thorough proficiency both in speaking and writing the French l&nguage- She first became acquainted with Charles Hyacinth Loyson undei these circumstances: She accepted an invitation by a lady friend ol ber's to visi; tbe nunnery at Paris.and while there, she taw, as she afterwards told, a bare-footed monk, with shaved head, whom they introdiced to her as Father Hyacinthe, and whom the did not at that time regard as very prepossessing in that condition. He was then preaching at Notre Dame, and had achieved a Ligh reputation for his oratory. Having listened to his eloquence she at once became an admirer, and he, in turn, after their first . conversation, admired her. They were married in the summer of 1872, having been compelled by the laws of France, which forbid the marriage of a priest, to go to England, to have the rites performed. They returned to Paris, where they remained only for a hort tune, Pere Hyacinthe having received a call from Geneva to preach. They remoyed to Switzerland early in tho year 1873, where they have lived ever since. A few months ago their first child was born unto them. Madam Loyson has become, through her own diligence, an excellent linguist, being able to spsak three or four different languages. She SDeaks the French language wilh EVES GREATER FLUKNCY THAN she does the English and has acquired much celebrity as a French writer. Shs is also an accomplished scholar, lor which sho is en tirely indebted to her own habits ot industry and application, not having had the advan tage of collegute instruction. She is a wo man of strong sensibilities and ber whole life is devoted to the eood oi humanity. It is said that to her is largely due the stand her husband bas taken in favor of reform, lor which his pulpit was declared vacant and himself excommunicated from the cnurcn. She was in Paris at tbe opening ot the Franco Prussian war and when tbe Prussian army were about to close tbe gates of the city she escaped and came to this country. While visiting her relatives in Ohio she received a dispatch from the Amer lean Bible society to co to New York, where she was requested to accompany a cargo of Bibles lor distribution ln Koine, she did so, and was probably the first to distribute Bi bles in Korne Immediately after tbe pope was deprived ot political power. On ber way to Rome she stopped at London, aud was told that she had better remain a short time in that city for foar that tbe sfcip would be taken by tbe French vessels and subjected to a search. While tL.ere she received telegram from tbe woman's suffraaro association of this country to proceed to , King William's headquar ters to sue lor peace, and ln case sho should fall with him. to call on Jules Favre, minister of foreign affairs for France and to intercede with them for peace. Queen Victoria designated a couple ot ladies to accompany her to King William's headc.uar ters and the day was set for sail, tbe queen having placed a vessel under orders to take ber across the channel. But the morning they had set for departure .Taris capitulated and tho mission did not start out. Pere Hyacinthe and wife intended to have visited this country in 1S73. but were unfortunately the victims of a finan rial crisis, havinz deposited Almost their en tire worldly possessions, amounting to

$120.000, with Bowles BrtHhers, American bankers of Paris, who wen victims of tbe money panic last fall. Th.- above brief sketch of tbe life of Madam Lovsonwas obtained from General Butterfie'ld bjhe reporter in the course of tbe interview. The general is a portly gentleman, with tfne personal address, dark brown hair and eyes, and is said to bear a striking resembian to bis sister, at Geneva. His manners in cnv ersaticn are cordial and genial, and he h." the faculty of making everyone feel at ease

All that was claimed for it as a tonic, a corrective and an antidote to malarious fever was found to be strictly true. Within live years the annual sales of this ar ticle amounted to over One Ml lion of Bottles. few years more and the demand had swelled to Five Millions. Tue annual consumption of tha bitters bas now reached the almost Incred ible aggregate of Six Millions of Bottles, and for every noiue soiu, a copy oi tne illustrated Med ical Annual, published bv the proprietors, at a cost oi iou,w , i given away. ASK THEM? An advertisement of a medicine, however 4iii aavavva mviiivtiv va au,ui au uf nt candid and conscientious it may be, dop not ways carry conviction with it. The public ki not alnow to tneir sorrow mat me ooasiiai claims put forth ln behalf of many so-called remedies are literally "t delusion and a snare." Probably the best use, therefore, that can be made of tbe space devoted to this notice of Hostetter s Stom ach Bitters is to invite those who read it to Inuire of the parties that have tested the curaIve and preventive properties of the article what they think of it. We earnestly request all doubters to ascertain from such of their friends and neighbors as have taken this standard ton ic and alterative as a protection against malar ious diseases, or as a cure for Indigestion, liver complaint, constipation, rheumatism, nervous debllitv. headache, low spirits, UDguor, diiousnesa. &c, what Hostetter s miters nas aone for them. There Is no testimony so trustworthy as that which is the result of personal experi ence. -ja UTICE Is hereby given to John 8pencer, late a resident of the county of Fountain and state of Indiana, who bas absented mmseii irom said county ana gone to parts unknown, for the apace of more than Ave years, leaving personal property, mon ies and effects, without having made aoy provision for the same; that the am property, monies and effects are suffering waste tor want of proper attention.
