Thos. Dowlht?, in consequence of -having boon selected County Commismlsioncr, has declined tho Democratic nomination for Councilman in tho Fourth Ward. LouTownsend was put iu his place, but ho too, deelinet! the nomination for tho good reasons that he is not a politician, doesn't want tho ofilco, and hasn't time to devoto attonr tlon to tne duties of tho position.

Postmaster Filbeck received his commission this week and enterod upon tho discharge of his duties on Thursday morning. Weloarn that no change will bo made in tho clerical force. Mr. Burnett retires from the position, which ho has filled so acceptably for four years, commanding the respoct of uton of all parties. The Terre-Haute postolfice under his management ranks high in the deportment at Washington.

Tho Indianapolis Herald tells this on fKlder Black, formerly pastor of tho Christian Church, this city. He commenced preaching in Edgar county, Illinois when very young and quite boyish in appearance. He made a very favorable impression upon the people there from t&k (kat, ami his appointments brought poreoaa from a considerable distnnco to henr tho boy preach.

Having preached in Paris several times tho people at Little drove, six miles east of Paris, made an appointment for him to prcaoii there at a oartain time. Among others attraote*! from a distance was Hall Sims, a vory respectable and substantial farmer, f&r advanced in life, blunt in his manners and about as hard-featured as was Andrew Jackson. Falling in company on the way out to Little Grove, Sim« rode np to the aide of the boggy in which the young preacher was sitting, and, without the least ceremony, said: "Weil, Bub, they tell me you're going to preach out here to-day." Mr. B. was taken all aback ftr a moment, but not Wing very excitable he soon rallied, and replied: "Well, grandaddy, I'm going to try." "Thleunceremonious introduction soon ripened Into substantial friendship, and Hall Sims very soon alter called him brother in full instead Of BUb. a

Great Scott !—If Judge John should be elected! Will the Gazette organ still keep up that Xoyes

Mrs. Frank Paddock is in Philadelphia, visiting her sister. Wo never know what rascals peoplo aro until they aro nominated for office.

Capt, Geo. A. Hay ward has a Chance to boat in-the fourth Ward, and it is a Chsmco if he is beaten.

Sergeant Noyes White, tho nominee of the working men for Mayor, is a democrat and has resided in this city four years. Ho is employed at Clift & Williams' planing mill.

Lafayette Hoddy, a printer, who makes his headquarters in this city, has a roving commission for a term in the penitentiary—undocided whether to serve tho State of Indiana or Illinois. His last exploit is stealing a cow and selling it to a butcher in Marshall.

Our clevor young friend Charles Barrick, on Thursday evening last, led to the altar Miss Dora, tho accomplished daughter of W. P. Stunkard, residing near Brazil. A large and elegant reception was given at the residence of tho groom's parents on north Seventh street, last evening. Among the invited guests .were tho members of the Amateur Dramatic Club.

Tho lawyers are at it again. Esq. Nehf, yesterday, gavo a lawyer and a constable tlio choice of behaving themselves or going to Jail. Tho attorney, unused to such dictation, declared that ho had had his last caso before that court. That's the way to settle ihese oflicious and internieddlingjusticesand judges. Make it a matter of bread and butter to thein, and the legal fraternity may continue to crjoy their blessed privileges. JJ

There seems to be an impression in the minds of many citizens that the appointment of Capt. Allen as an oflicer of the United States Senate, will sever his connection with tho Express. This in "a mistake. Ho will be'absent from the city only during tho sessions of Congress, an average of four months in thn year, and during that time will writo regularly for tho Express, with which his editorial connection will remain undisturbed..... '.5)

The change in postmaster to-day re minds The Express that ono citizen of this place, yot living, voluntarily suffered decapitation in that office twice upon a question of principlo. Mr. J. O. Jones was appointed by President Piorce in 1852. In 1856 Mr. Jones espoused tho cause of tho infant Republican party, and was, of course, removed by Pierce. Mr. Jones was reappointed by Lincoln and held over under Johnson until that official went over to the enemy. Mr. Jones remained faithful to the Republican party, and was again romoved.—[Express.

Straps on pantaloons are again coming into fashion. Peoplo with crooked legs, hawever, will consult good taste by boing unfashionable in this particular.

Green Front all tho time, for good goods at low prices. The old Postofflce building on Fourth street was built in 1858,—just twenty years ago. It was thou a big thing for tho town. J. O. Jones was Postmaster and tho editor of this paper was Chief Clerk. Tho south half is now occupied by Peter Miller, who has a reputation for manufacturing the best harness in tho city. Ho koeps a largo stock made up, und, selling at the most reasonable prices, enjoys a largo trade.

Alf. Burnett's old preacher of ITepscdam used to play upon a "harp of a thousand strings.5' You can't find such an instrument nowadays, but everything else in tho musio lino you can find at W. H. Paige «fc Co's elegant music room, in the Beach Blotk. They have a fine stock of smaller instruments, make a specialty of sheet music, and offer rare inducements in the sale of pianos and organs.

Vote for whichever caudidato for Mayor you please, but, if you wish to save money, buy your Boots and Shoes of J. B. Ludowiei «fc Co, corner of Main and Sixth streets. They have a large and well selected stock, of the best manufacture, keep store In their own bouse, attend to their own business, have litUo expense, and can afford to •ell at a very small advance upon cost.

It is really curious that people tire so •low to learn that J. W. II usher, the photographer next to the Postoffice, can take pictures on clomly as well aa on sunshiny days. Indeed some of bis best pictures aro taken on cloudy days. This la the mult of hit strong light, tho test instruments and chemicals, and a perfect knowledge how to manipulate them.

The colored people had a delegate from the Third Ward iu the Republican City Convention. Speaking of color, we may add that the Railroad Colors, in six different shades, sold by (Juilck A Berry, are equal to the kit White lead in the market.

Bartlctt Co. have tho addition to their bookstoro completed, and the Central now extends from Main stroet to the alloy in the rear, making ono of the most commodious and elegant storerooms on Main street. It is well stocked with every dosired article in tho book and stationery line, with many other articles, including Botno handsomo Croquet sets. There are supplies lu Itlppotoe's store That would open your tryea to scan them o'er. To name them half would exhaust this chimc, And choke our m.\*hlne from grinding rhyme, So to save ourselves this groat expense, And crcdlt our readers with common sense, And get rid of names «n that lengthy string, We hash tho whole lot into—everything.

Tho quickest and best way for tho govornmont to clean out tho Modocs id to put tho job into the hands of a fow hundred hardy western hunters and trappers. Hunt them out of th^ir strong holds as you would a wolf. Shoot 'em when they conio out of their boles as you would a wood-chuck in the spring of the year. However, Tuttle sells his Teas, Coffees and Sugars at a very low figure.

And farmers with produce, there pull up their hosses. "x Tho baby crop in this city tho presenf Spring has been unusually largo, notwithstanding tho backwardness or the season. Foreseeing this, Samuel Stone bought the finest stock of baby carriages ho over brought to this city. Some of them are real beauties, and be will allow no one to undersell him. Mothers, wo will soon have bright, skies, and baby will want to get out doors, so call on Mr. Stone, on Main street, near Seventh.

Have you availed yourself ot Jas. B. Lyne's liberal offer to till your demijohn or bottle with pure liquors, so handy to have in tho bouso in vase of sickness.

Whilo we cannot at thi3 writing say who will bo the next Mayor, wo can say that the ladies cannot find a better stock of laces, embroideries, real and imitation hair goods, hosiery, gloves, fancy and variety goods than at T. H. Riddle's. Bat what's the uso of occupying spaco to tell what everybody knows?

J. P. Tutt, dpposito tho Opera Houso, by tair and square dealing, receives a large share of tho trade in boots and shoes of this city. Ho buys for cash, direct from tho leading eastern manufacturers. His stock is large, varied, stylish, substantial, and a fit is guaranteed in every caso.. ^Cu.atom.work is a specialty. h, *o

T. H. Riddle isn't backward in putting himself before the people, and never will bo so long there is a newspaper in Terro Haute. He publishes a card in the Gasetto, stating that for fear be may be called upon to run for Mayor, or appointed postmaster, when Nick.

Tho familiar name of A. Herz fc Co., has not appeared in our columns for several woeks, but this week tho opposite page of this sheet fairly sparkles with local noticse—attractive, interesting and profitable reading. They tell that at the groat Opera Htmse Bazaar is now Hhown the finest and most desirable stock of goods in their line, and tho Eastern member of. the firm, is making, as usual, weekly shipments of new, novel and seasonable goods. He watchcs tho market, takes advantage of every circumstance, and Herz A Co. ard thus enabled to soil many lines of goods at New York panic prices. This is especially the case in the lino of embroideries, of which they show some $3,500 worth. Iu Parasols they nre propared to supply tho whole country roundabout. In hoop skirts and corsets the Opera House Bazaar i.s recognized as headquarters. Seo announcement of what they are going to eceivo next week.

If we were to tnako a random guess, wo should say tho most of thein were long since buried—though it may not ho tho right answer. Now, then, what has that to do with Allen «fc Tilley, No. 116 Main stroet, where the best and most groceries and provisions can bo bought for tho least money.

S. R. Freeman, in tho National House Block is going to make a change. What this chango is wo do not know. But we do know that he has made a great change in the jirices of his goods. lie is selling at cost, and somo articles at half their cost. It includes his wholo stock, including fine gold and silver watches, chains, jewelry in gr.cat va riety, Diamonds, siivcr-platod and solid silver ware in tea sots, castors, fruit stands, cake baskots, spoons, forks, etc. Thero is no "catch" about this. Mr Freeman's stock is full, well selected and of the best goods. He is determined todisposo of it iu the shortest timepossible, and will offer fine bargains

J. P. Brennan & Co., tfi'lf mfcrchft'Ht tailors have clearly demonstrated the fact that an elegant Main streot frort is not necessary for a succcssful business. They belioye that tho groat expense of a largo Main street store, meroly for display, is monoy poorly invested, and that tho customer must pay tho bill in tho way of larger profits to the dealer. Gentlemen, drop into tkeir neat and quiet establishment on Ohio street, and seo tho extra inducements thoy oflor in the way of elegant and well made garments at reasonable pricos.
