THE Criminal Court, Judge Long, -will resume business on Monday, with nine cases set down for that day, tbroe of which are against Dr. Collings, of Middletown, for carrying concealed weapons, borsj-racing and assault and battery.
The Hollow Square nuisance casos have been passed to the December term, on account of absence of witnesses for the defense.
The trial of Andrew J. Miller for the murder of bis father-in-law is sat for the latter part of next week, day not fixod. Miller's wife is now in Clay county soliciting money from the miners with which to employ Mr. Vocrhees for the defense. Tbo Court had appointed Richard Dunnigan to defend him, as a pauper, but Miller objects to being tried—or hanged, either, for that matter—as a pauper .It would be adding insult to injury,
A PARAOBAPH in last week's Mail has arrested public attention to the fearful and startling prevalence of the "social evil" in this fair city. With theso infamous dens in the very heart of the city, respectable families residing in rooms over businrss bouses, are obliged, after the ovening lamps are lighted, to live under lock and key to prevent insult, and if by chance a bolt Is left drawn the libertine is liable to stumble up the wrong stairway at any moment. Our wives and daughters are rudely Jostled by these fallen women upon the streets, in the postoffice and other places of resort, or compelled to sit sido by side with them in the most prominent seats at places of public amusement, while they exchange familiar nods and glanoes with their lewd male .••'•quaintances. The scarlet woman VVUH never so bold in this city as at the present time. A, .,
WK lonrn that thoro is a movement on foot ainpng the locomotive engineers to do away with, or at least to doorcase the amount of Sunday labor on railroads. At present, especially upon the two great rut and west roadB running through this city, as many freight trains are run on Sunday as upon any day of the week. The withdrawal of passenger trains is taken advantage of to olear the tracks of accumulated froight. Last Sunday enough engineers could not be found in the city to form a quorum, for the transaction of some businoss before tbo Division of Locomotive Engineers. Those men who labor so hurd and upon whom such responsibilities rest, are certitluly entitled to one day's rest in seven.

AMUSEMENTS.
JONX K. OWKKS
Had no canse to complain ot the size or quality ot tho audience at the Opera House on the occasion of his second visit this week, and the audience have no complaints to make of the entertainments given on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Mr. Owens is capable of transmitting more genuine delight to an audience through the medium ofhis drolleries than any actor on the stage. Of his collection of odd characters, Solon Shingle is unquestionably the best. It is not as great a promoter of the risibles ofan audience, nor perhaps ot the enthusiasm, but it is full of that quiet humor and the exhibition of the dull faculties that give it some of the attractiveness of Rip Van Winkle. On the second evening his Dr. Olltfpod, in the "Poor Gentleman" wa« received with great enthusiasm. The presuming, self complacent Oilapod, with ^his jumble of martial and medical allusions and his propensity to seize upon expressions that may be twisted into a pun or some other sample of small wit, is an amusing and laughter-provoking character as presented by Owens.
Of the company supporting Mr. Owens—well the least said the better. Following so closely on Mr. Langrishe's excellent company, "comparisons were odorous." This was especially noticeable in the drama of the "Poor Gentleman," played by both companies.
VVL
KEI-LOOO CONCERT.
Miss Fannie J. Kellogg, the popular western prima donna, will give a grand concert at tho Opera House next Thursday evening, November 21st, assisted by the best combination of our city Amateurs. Miss Kellogg will sing some of the finest operatic and classical solos, one of which was sung by Madam Leutner at the World's Peace Jubilee, with wonderful effect. This is, perhaps, one of the most artistic and difficult solos in the wide range of operatic or classical music, composed expressly for Madam Leutner, on that occasion, adapted to the upper register of her voice. Very few sopranos can reach the high notes. The programme will comprise grand choruses, accompanied by Breinlg's orchestra, Quartetts, Duetts, Solos, fco., which will be sung by the Amateur* in styles and effect scarcely inferior to the best professioned singers. Miss Hill, who received instructions from one of the most accomplished teachers in Cincinnati will also render some favorite operatic solos in a very artistic manner. It will be ber first appearance in Terre-Haute, and she will be hailed as a bright particular star among our Bingers. Mis» Kellogg is too well known in this community to need any flattering notices. But while she was in Boston last summer, she sang before a company of artists and critics, and this ie what the Boston Journal said of her. "A PLRA8A NT OCCASION.—A few of our professional musicians nnd amateurs had a rare treat on Tuesday evening, the 6th Inst., at the rooms of the Boston Muslo School, on meeting Mlas Fannie J. Kellogg, of Council Blum*, Iiwa, recently from Terre-Haute, InU., who delighted them with a variety or her favorite operatic and classical
Bongs.
Miss Kellogg has been In Boston several months as a pupil under Mr. J. W. Adams. Her voice Is a pure soprano, full, rich, a.v mputhetlc and even from the lowest to the nlgheht tone*. Her Intonation is Arm, end her execution is elear and well defined, together with which the abundant talent and her well chosen method will inevitably secure to her the highest attainments in artistic skill and taste. We would be most linppy to welcome Miss Kellogg to the prcsent number of our resident artists.
To be endorsed by Boston critics is high praise. They never eulogise sec-ond-rate singers. •SIMS'
RICK'S MINSTRBLS
Our people, for onoe, "went back" upon a minstrel show last night, and missed a very good performance in seme respects. The singing, music and dancing was yery fine, the jokes and comicalities somewhat antique, and a wet blanket was thrown upon the whole by the cold and uncomfortable condition of the Opera House.

LOCAL SHORT STOPS. h# Kellogg concert next week. Thanksgiving is approaching. Noisy November breezes blow. Its dark before night, now-a-dnys. No pleasant Sunday ride to-morrow. One of our most growing suburts is that of Bagdad.
There's a heap of wickedness going on in this town. One hundred Btudents are attending the Normal School.
Just a year ago to-day the first suow of last winter came. Many of the Sunday Schools of this city are short of teachers.
Outside of the city sixteen towns or villages exist in the county. Again we have the statement that the hog law is to bo rigidly enforced.
The number of interments in the cemetcry is decreasing each week. Another advance in insurance rates is among the immediate probabilities.
The soul inspiring oyster is now in the fullness of its tempting qualities. Strange to say, a negro minstrel moat overflows humor when he is corked up.
An intoxicated individual was detected the other night in an attempt to pick the pocket of a billiard table.
Most of the houses in this city are built out of doors and so low that the chimneys stick through the roofs.
MANY housewives in this city are forced to the kitchen on account of the limited supply of girls who care to do this work, and husbands enjoy better cooking.
IT is a deplorable fact that many parents send their very young children to school simply to get rid of them. In many cases this is absolute cruelty to the children, and the cause of more damage than beneftt to their isfantile minds.
