est, fapt. Potter or J. P. Tutt, over tho new boy baby in tho house ot the latter. It Is a singular fact that among all ('apt.

The little fellow crows as if conscious oi his importance. ^John Littlefield, editor of the Marshall Messenger, came over and hoard Olive Logan, lie says she effected no change in our opinion as to ladies on tho rostrum.

There Is brute on north Sixth street who has a daughter, a gentle, beautiful girl of eighteen, who has a beau who is distasteful to the "old man." The girl was accompanied home the other night by the unpopular youth, when paterIkmillas had quite an argument with her on the subject. And now the poor girl can't comb'her back hair, all on account of the sticking plaster and things put on by tho doctor. The heaviest argument thcold brute brought to bear was a wooden chai r.

Col. Thompson and Joe Erlanger have been in the egg business. Joe is ahead at this date. Some time since the Colonel on departing for Louisville aaked Joe if he could do anything for him. The latter said: No unless yon ean bring me a doaen hard boiled eggs." Got. T. came back and remarked that he couldn't find any but soft boiled eggs. Time passed on until the other 1*7. when Joe went east. Before starting, the Colonel dropped in, and Joe telling him that he was going east, asked if there was anything he oould do ter him. No," said Col. T. "unless you can get for me what felled to get for yon, those hard-boiled eggs," He thought no more of the remark until Wednesday morning. While seated in the court room, a package frora New York, by express, was brought him. He paid the charge*, and in his eagerMas to examine the contents, opened the package to presence of court, bar,

George H. Knapp, formerly of this city is wanted by the goverment officials and his whereabouts are not known. Ho has gone "up in a balloon" sure enough this time. It will be remembered that two or three weeks ago we mentioned the fact that he had resigned his commission as postmaster at Paoli, Ind. It now appears that before doing so he swindled the government out of $1,000 through fraudulent money orders. Knapp was tho editor of tho Paoli Union.

Passing along Sixth street opposite the post office Thursday evening, a benevolent lady, came upon a little, but most precocious species ofgutter snipe, who was orying most bitterly. She accosted him, "What is tho matter my little fellow?" to which ho replied, "Av lost five cents my mother gave me." The lady: said "Well, don't cry, there's a good boy, here Is five cents for you," and taking out tho money handed it to tho youth, who had, in the meantime, given over crying. Directly after he got the money he commenced bellowing again, upon which the lady asked again, "What irfthe matter?" and judge her snrprise when the little fellow replied, "Because, I'd had ten cents, now if I hadn't lost the other five." The lady said no mora.

The editors of this city aire a quarrelso mo set, but there is one point upon which they are unanimously agreed. They are unanimously of the opinion tthat Soott Sboaf sells the best cigars in he city. His establishment is foundwell, you all know where it is, on East Main street, just west of the canal. Drop in, sample his cigars, and see if the editors are not about right on one point at least.

ITERRE-HACTE RATIT'RI)AY'KVBNING MAIL MARCH 30. 187'/.

Oliver Bartlett and Judaon Button, who make the firm of Bartlett A Co., the owners ot two Main street book stores, are home from the East and will soon astonish the natives with the finest stock of books, stationery and notions ever brought to this city. In the meantime they take pleasure in exhibiting the Electric Gaa-LIgbting Burner," a wonderful piece of mechanism, which takes the {dace of common burners, and by a slight twist of the wrist lights the gas by electricity.

A guest at tho Terre-Haute House one day this week, on being told that dinner was ready, stripped off his coat and vest, and with his wife on his arm, entered the dining room in his shirt sleeves. Most people thought this an exhibition of ill-manners. Nothing ot tho sort." It was for tho purpose of showing one ot Erlanger A Co's Model Shirts, which are generally conceded to be the best ever Introduced in this market. They are made to order on short notice, and a good assortment is continually kept in stock.

Careful,, economical house-keepers, in making their purchases, observe two leading rules—always to buy fresh and pure articles, and to purchase such where they can be dealt fairly with and know that they are not beiag overcharged. For this reason White A Melvin, at their new grocery store, in the Cook building, are receiving an extensive patronage. If you can't take our word for it, give these liberal gentlemen a trial.

Education is a companoin which no misfortune can suppress no crime can destroy no enemy can aleniate no despotism can enslave. At home a friend abroad an introduction in solitude a solace in society an ornament. It chastens vice it guides virtue it gives at once government and grace to genius—and leads all men and women to buy their watches, clocks, jewelry, etc., at S. R. Freeman's, where the finest stock in the city may be found.

Gulick fe Berry are deservingof more than a pacing notice every week. It is astonishing to see the amount of business done by their drug house, which has a well-earned popularity in both city and country. Their wholesale trade is very large at this season oi the year, and their city trade is constantly growing. The proprietors are gentlemanly and accommodating—their goods are fresh an:l pure—and they sell at low figures, hence the popularity of their house. "Good"wino needs no bush," sayS Shakspeare. Ashe was a lover of the good things of earth, he was a competent critic. Did his shade return to earth, and pay a vifait to Tom Langford's, in Beach's Block, he would regret that he had not lived to the present time so that he might indulge in the fine liquors, wines, Ac. sold by him. No other house in the city bears a better reputation than his, or is better known throughout tho country.

Ole Ball had a narrow escape at Iowa City, on Tuesday! morning last. The Clinton House, at which he was stopping was destroyed by fire. He barely escaped in his night clothes, but saved his violin. Having lost his clothes he immediately telegraphed John Kuppenheimer, our popular clothicr, to send him another suit, just like the one he bought when he was hero. On receiving the dispatch John exclaimed, "Bull-y!"

We must do as our neighbors do!" One night recently, a little four year old crept softly from hertrundlebedand rushed into her mother's room exclaiming, "mother, mother!" The old lady, scared half to death, arose exclaiming, "my daughter, my daughter what is the matter her reply was, "we must do as our neighbors do—buy our flavoring extracts at Cook A Davis on Ohio street. They manufacture their owrt extracts and warrant tuem pure.

While in the city of Terro-Haute, this week, we called on P. E. Tuttle, tho princo of clever gentlemen, and found him as usual at his post. His tea store is a pargotl of neatness. He keeps nothing but the best of everything. His teas are not only the beat and freshest in the market but the cheapest. Persons who open a trade at Tuttle's Tea Store becomes permanent customers.— Marshall Mi.*ssenger.

There's no use of any person attempting to make a fine appearance unless they begin at the very foundation. To do this it is only necessary to go to N. Andrews' boot and shoo store, 142 Main street, and there you can find as complete a variety as greenbacks can buy or shoemakers can make. For faultlessly fitting boots, made in the latest and most durable style, or for light shoes, or for any other style, yon have but to go to this popular establishment. The ladies, too, will find a choice stock of every style of shoes, gaiters, slippers, Ac., and will have the pleasure ot being waited upon in gentlemanly manner.

The Grand Duke forgot to send to S. R. Baker, P. O. Lobby, lor that second lot of "Silver Spray" cigars, about which so much was said at the time, and consequently he has' them for his regular customers. Besides these he has forty other brands, and the favorite Mayflower Flnecut Chewing Tobacco. He Is daily building up trade in this line.

This paragraph is not to be read, that is, if you don't want to read it, as we wish to drop one very Important remark, and that ia, that W. H. Duddleston A Bro. are gathering an immense trade in cigar* and tobsoco at their new location, in the Gilbert block. Their brands of cigars sad tobacco are immensely popular,

T. H. RIDDLJS is at home again, after several week's absence and things are lively now about hia popular establishment. During his sojourn in the east he watched the market and at the very bottom prices seleoted the largest and finest stock of goods in his line ever brought to this city.

It is gratifying to note Mr. Riddle'a success and rapid progress in business. He is one of the class of men needed to make up the business of alive go-ahead slty like ours is becoming. We need more of such inen, in place of a few old fogies, who quietly sit in their stores, waiting for business to come to them, and then whine because trade is dull. He understands what the people want, gets the best article, sells£at the lowest price and is not too modest to let the people know these facte, by means of printer's ink.

But the readers of the newspapers of this city are aware of this fact, for his name catches the eye whenever a paper is picked up, and what we started out to say is that his new goods are now coming in, and his salesrooms are now filled to overflowing, up stairs and down stairs, from floor to ceilings, on the floors, on tables, in drawers, and boxes yet unopened. He has already opened one hundred and six cases, and more are on the road.

His Fancy Goods department especially is very lull, showing many novelties in dress trimmings, etc.

On the second floor is located the wholesale millinery department— (wholesale exclusively)—and here is tound the largest stock of millinery ever brought to this city, purchased directly from the importers and at such prices that he can duplicate any Cincinnati or eastern prices.

In the line of jewelry he has purchased largely and his stock is very rich and flue. He shows some fine designs in mantle and other clocks. So also in silverware of various kinds.

In watches he is determined to lead the trade. His watchmaker, Mr. Chas. E. Lightnor is giving such satisfaction that he is constantly overrun with work.

We write the above mention, not in the nature of a puff, but as honest truth, wfcich we can endorse cordially.

V. G. Dickhout has something now that will resist all the ingenuity of the most' ^desperateri^aiiroad baggage smashers. They are protected by maleuble iron and rubber bumpers, and are the stoutest trunks we oversaw. A commercial traveler for a big Boston notion house has ordered two or three for sample trunks. So much for live enterprise and a Hoosier trunk manufactory.

J. W. Husher, the well known and popular photographer, is preparing for an active summer's campaign. He expects next week, an accomplished artist to take charge of his eligible rooms, in Prairie City Bank building, and then he intends to make a specialty of outdoor work. He is an adept at this line of business, and has taken a large number of fino outdoor views.

A Hard Place," is the establishment of Cory A C., but it is not hard to get bargains in hardware, building materials, cutlery, and everything that goes to make up a complete stock of goods in that line. The people all know this, which accounts for their great success, and the fact that they do tho leading, substantial business of the city.

It is solely for the public good that we once more call attention to the White front grocery store of R. W. Rippet oe. A dollar saved is better than two gained. His groceries are carefully selected, bought at the lowest rates, and in the way of country produce he always has everything that can be found in the market.

Ring tho loud bells and proclaim the fact that R. L. Ball, 128 Main street,has the largest and mo^t complete stock of stoves, the most elegint stock of birdcages, the greatest assortment of tinware, the best workmen that can be had, and is doingan immense business, as any one can see by looking in at his store any time of day.

Time wears slippers of list, and bis tread is noiseless. The days come softly dawning, one after another they creep in at the windows their fresh morning air is grateful to tho lips as they pant for it, their music is sweet to the ears that listen to it until, before we know it, all those elegant goods which W. H. Bannister purchased for gents' Spring wear will be gone.

Moore A Haggerty Intend this season, as heretofore, to take the lead in the erection of cornices, tin, copper and sheet iron work guttering, spouting, Ac.. Their marbleised mantles are greatly admired. A full stock of cistern and force pumps will always be found at their establishment, on Main street, east of Sixth

Standing npon the Terre-Haute House steps and casting the eye across the street, you will look into J. B. Lyne's Liquor Store, where will be found pure brandies, whiskies, wines, native and foreign. He Is an honest dealer, a good Judge, and yon can rely on his statements In regard to quality and purity.
