Among those was a bill of Dr. Peyton, a $250 fee for a post mortem examination of the body of Lucy York. This is more than the fee in the froaeo I baby case, but then to cut into the body of a girl, Is worth more than •imply looking at a dead baby.

The order for building a Court House was rescinded—Dowling and Weeks voting aye, and Blake voting nay. By the same vole tbe order for the erection of bridge* was rescinded.

THE three shows aunounced to 'appear next week aud the week following speak for themselves in large and gorgeous pictures. There is milch that is meritorious in all of them, and they are deserving of patronage.

ALMOST every town in the country is now bragging of its haunted house. We would boast a little of those in TerreHaute, but there are so many that we do not know which to write up first and then we might make a mistake in a name, and then the ghosts would be mad.

HERE is a difficult problem to solve. If it takes four full grown adults, two of each sex, to knock a ball through a given number of half-hoops set in the ground, in an hour, how long will it take the same four to make up their minds that they are not "o'er young to marry yet?"

THE Mail is paid more money for advertising the three shows now coming than is paid any other newspaper in tbe city. Show people, more than any other class, know where to apply printer's ink the most judiciously, and "put their money where it will do the most good." A word to the wise bnsiness men of Terre Haute, you know tho rest.

R. W. RIPPETOE on yesterday purchased of I)r. Patrick the lot corner of Ohio and Sixth streets—fifty-three feet on Sixth and one hundred on Ohio, for $15,000. He gave Dr. Patrick his Third street residence for $10,000 in the trade. We learn that Mr. R. intends to put up an elegant brick block on the ground at the expiration of the present leaseone year hence.

JANE COOMBS COMING.—J. W. Allinson, who has been here twice before, this season—first with Edwin Adams and again with Edwin Booth, was in fche

yesterday evening, to herald

tbe coming of Miss Jane Coombs, who will appear at the Opera House, on Wednesday evening next in Shakespeare's sublimo tragedy of Roraeo and Juliet, supported by a good dramatic company. It is idle to speak in praise of Miss Coombs, who now makes her -iSrst- visit to onr -city- preceded by a fame similar to that of Edwin Booth, Her superb costuming is a great feature in the presentation of her plays. Terre Haute has done well towards Mr. Henry E. Abbey, tbe manager of Booth and Adams, which induces him to stop now with Miss Coombs. We know it is late in the season, but that should not, and will not, deter our people fromgiviug this distinguished actress a cordial welcome, not only on her own account, but as an encouragement to the manager, to bring tbe coming season, other dramatic stars that have heretofore confined their efforts to the larger cities. Of Miss Coombs' personation of Juliet, we extract from the Cincinnati Enquirer, under date of April 26th ft ii*

Tho general expectation was "more than tultllled. In tli« balcony scene, the nurse ticene, and. in fact, ip all the earlier scenes musical reading of reached nor-everjr ear, but every heart In the immense audience. But

of the play, the rioh Miss Cooibb* it was when the strongest passages of the tragedy were on that Miss Coombs rose peer of the actresses whose names have become traditional among play-goers—Siddens, Kemble, Cushman. In the scene where the news ot Hoineo's supposed death Is received, tbe depiction of the grief and passion of "Juliet" is wonderful. It is a fitting Introduction to that parting scene, whose pathos none who ever have witnessed Miss Coombs' rendition will ever forget. the moment when the banished Romeo takes his last leave of his new made bride, The agony which has been infused into the word "banished," until it sends a thrill of sympathy with the stricken kirl through the rapt house in the preceding scenes is forgotten in the tenderness of the broken-hearted adieu. But the climax ol diamatic power is yet to be reached. Left alone in the chamber to take the potion which thfc"Friar"has given her left alone to the contemplation ol the possible awakening in the tomb rfbd all the consequent horrors, the superb pnysique, the musical, far-ranging voice the expressive face of Miss Coombs are called into play, until, following the reaction of the thrilling "Romeo, I come," ihe curtain falls upon a stormed house. Miss Coombs was called three times before the footlights at the conclusion of the act to receive the cheers and admiration of the excited assemblage, who "almost rose at her."

In the last act the auditors were wrought up to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. Indeed the American stage at least has witnessed few such scenes as that between the

dying

lover and the awakening "Ju

liet." Such is a brief outline of a performance with which our citizens have been before electrllied, but which they cannot enJoy too otteu.

ATLA& MAP OF VIQO COUNTY. Mr. Wm. Wilson, representing A. T. Andrews, successor to Andrews, Lyter A Co., publishers of county maps, Chicago, is around feeling the pulse of the people to ascertain whether sufficient encouragement will be given to guarantee tbe publishing of an atlas map of Vigo county, Mr. Wilson brings with him a beautiful sample of their work, a map of Tazewell county. 111. Besides a valuable sectional map of the State, there is a map of the county and a sectional map of each township, and plats of every city and village in tbe county. They add an cxtenstive lithographic department also a history of the county and of every city, village and township a history of the old settlers of the county, with statistics and other valuable information.

eds

the

best. Nothing Is gained by deception, but everything won by honesty. F.*lse re presentations may succeed for a day, but in the long years to come deception will be unmasked and shunned by the virtuous and good. How true the ad^tge: "All that glitters is not gold," as daily evinced by shallow-brained people who make pretentions to what they are not, and in the end find themselves disgraced by their ill-gotten airs.

From youth, periodically, we have witnessed "humbugging" in the show business, by managers announcing performers to appear in their establishments that were never engaged, and especially advertising animals in their menagerie they never owned. This is all wrong, and should uot be tolerated by an intelligent public. Mr. G. F. Bailey, proprietor of tho extensive establishment which 1s soon to appear among us, has ever borno the reputation of being an honest man, and by fair dealing and furnishing a big show, with an ordinary price of admission, has gained wealth and popularity of which he may justly be proud. He never advertises but what he has, and always gives universal satisfaction by having respectable people in his employ, and first class performers. Just imagine the great James Meilville, the Champion Bareback rider of tbe world, and his talented Australian family, with a big Circus, Menagerie and Museum, all for one price of admission, S3eing more for the same amount of money than ever offered by any concern. Their recent stay in New .York City of twelve weeks is a guarantee of their excellence.' tf

This is Mr. Bailey's twenty-first annual season on the road, and from the time of his commencing to the present day he has sustained the reputation of having a first class entertainment. All that money and experience can procure, he has availed himself of, aud today can boast of the finest three show exhibition in America. Mr. Bailey is the first and only man that ever brought a Hippopotamus to this country,which can be seen in no other concern. Three shows will be given In separate tents, all for one price of ad mission. Lovers •f natural history will find instruction in visiting this moral show, while the circus will be given separate. So those desiring to visit the curiosities only, can do so ithout attending the scenes in the arena. Great preparations are being made for the day exhibition which will occur on Saturday, June 14

We make the following extracts from the principle New York dailies, where they have just concluded tue most brilliant engagement ever known in the Metropolis ,, ,)

Sji

[From the laily News.]

Bailey's circus and menagerie is doing a blg businew», and without doubt could remain in New York the entire season without going on the road.

From the Bun.]

Bailey's establishment is tbe finest ever erected In this city. [From the Dally Timw]

Melville is tbe great attraction with Bailey's show, anasustaina the reputation he is justly entitled to of being tbe beat bareback rider In tbe world. {Kromthe New York Herald, April 14tb.]

BAILVT'S MKNAOBRia.—This establishment has been located in this city for twelve weeka, which by rights should remain during the summer, as It affords instructive amusement vainable to all classes of people. The zoological department ia particularly interesting. and the Circus one of the b*st ever offered to aNew York audience.

Mr. Bailey has won the confidence of tbe public by presenting all beadvertigea and giving a performance of tbe highest order. With such attractions as James Melville, the champion horseman, and his talented Australian

Clark, Ed. DeHaven. rrin brothers, tbe pret-

family, George Clark, the wonderful O ty and accomplished Madame Lacia, Frank Roolnson, George Donald, F. J. Howes, M'lle Marie, and a host of other attractions, he may be sure of crowded tents at every performance.

Particular attention in ay be made of

young

George Donald, tbe wonderful

bareback rider, who accomplishes tbe most daring feata ever attempted also tbe Orrin Brothers, who execute a terrible finish to one of their posturing arts, which consists of a perfect bead-to-he-ad balance while discharging four pistols. Tbey are reputed to be the only persons who ever accomplished tbe feat. But tbe riding of tbe great James Melville caps tbe climaxofall excellence, andfUluatrates the feet, that impossibilities can be attained by years of practice and perseverance.

F. Bailey A Co.'s Menagerie and Mnseum with Melville's Australian

Circus, exhibited in this city on the 5th and 6th, giving four performance, and rendered tbe best of satisfaction. James Melville is without doubt the champion bareback rider of the world." other parties have claimed it, but their wretched performances in this city last season utterly disgusted the ublic with the title of "champion." ames Melville is a sober reliable artist, and never disappoints an audience. Bailey's establishment is the handsomest and most expensive concern ever in the city. The introduction of upholstered seats is a great improvement and duly appreciated by the vast audience of ladies and children who attended tbe afternoon performances, and we must oonfess it was the first canvass show we ever atteuded without being disgusted with the enormous filth surrounding them. The performano 8 are great, the curiosities interesting and without exception Bailey's .show Is the best we ever saw. [From the Buffalo, N. Y., Courier. Tuesdiy

June 3d.

We cordially recommend Bailey's show to the good people of the West— where they ship direct from this city, on Saturday eveninar, June 7th, and open in Lafayette, Indiana, Monday,« June 9th and 10th. The western peo-

file

are "show going," and ever patronz» meritorious enertaiuments, but this soason, we see by oar exchanges, they have been so overrun with bad shows, that tbe advent of Bailey in their

havoono

midst will be a welcome guest, and they will thank their relatives of the east for sending them such a fine entertainment. They will see such riding as they never dreamed of seeing. They will hear the finest music ever discoursed, ard will have an apportunity of visiting the best Menagerie before tbe public. All hail to Bailey on his triumphal Westeru tour. lFrom the Buffalo Express, Tuesday June 3d.]

Bailey's big show bids good bye to tbe east with tbeir last performance in this city, arrangements having been perfected for their tiasportation direct ta Lifayette, Ind., where they open on the 9th and 10th. In allowing Bailey's show to leave tbe east, we do so with regret, but know our loss will be our western cousin's gain. Iu bidding them "good bye," wo bid thein "Goar speed," knowing that upon their returnin theautumn they will feel kindly towards the "broad an bouudless West," will form acquaintances long to be remembered, and associations that1 no "lie cau sever." Good bye, boys.! Dobvour friends in the West as you. have always done by us, and glory will., be your reward.

The above extracts are only a few of the many at our band, but sufficient to 1 convince our readers that Bailey's show ia far superior to anything of the'* kind ever In our midst.

We direct especial attention to their mammoth advertisement In to day's paper with confidence, knowing our numerous readers will be repaid by patronizing it. The management are deserving great credit by arrangingwith the railroad officials to bring people to Terre Haute on Saturday June 14tb, to witness this "world fair" on

wheels.

Tbe Circus which everybody likes to see, is coming. With enthusiasm do all run to see the parade, to hear the^ music of the band, and look at the*, gaily dressed performers, with the long,% caravan of oages, followed by ele-r phants, camels, ponies, aud last but far from loast, "them mules." How? the children scream with unbounded^ delight aa tbe procession comes in view,

aud how Mary Jane rushes from the kitchen, and the front part of every house covered with people, "a bead to every pane of glass," quickly presentsM itself, and after the procession passes, how quicky the dinner is dispatched and preparations made to go to the ., show. Such a commotion will be^r kicked up in our town soon, for be itf known that Bailey A Co's Menagerie and Museum, and J^mes Melville's Australian Circus will give us a "grands' parade" on June 14th.

Too PARTICULAR FOR THIS WORLD.—K "Max Adler," discourccs as follows:^' There is one young man in this world who is In a perfectly hopeless conditlon. He writes to the editor of a weekly paper as follows "I wish to ask you a question deeply ooncering my true happiness. I am a young man, wealthy, and have a good.,, professional standing. Looking upon. marriage, like roligion, as inseperablo from lire, I am anxious to nnter into that greatest of earthly alliances. have seen much of society, and almost a million women, I suppose, but I have never found one who suits me in to to—against whom there was net some objection—who did not fail to correspond with my 'ideal woman.'"

This is simply terrible. He has seen a million women, but none, alas I not even one, suited him. We feit such an interest in him that wo bad half a mind to import a couple ef million women from Europe, and Borneo, and Sene. gambia, and Ujiji, and Lower California, for him to run bis eyes over, in the hope that he would find bis ideal woman. Bat wbat'a the use? A man who can't auit himself in a miscellaneous million of American women, might aa well give it up. There is no woman on earth that will do for him. He ought to

constructed espec

ially for him and even then, if some power should call a full-blown Venus suddenly into existence, it is doubtful If be would be perfectly satisfied, for he is so dreadfully particular, so uncommonly faatidlons. And even if he was pleased with ber ten chances to one if she would bo with blrn (in fact we are certain she wouldn't), and then there would be no match after all. He has bnt

one

and

resource in bis lonely mis

ery If we were in his place we would fto out to some quiet aud retired place faraway from human society, from an

unsympathetic

world, from happy men
