SwKrrs!—If departed spirits are permitted to revisit this earth, there most hire been a large excursion down—or as tbe case nay be—last night to mingle with the

people

who crowded

into Dowling Hall and filled Pence's Hall to overflowing. I" the

one

t*10

assembled to see an exposure of

spiritual tricks, in tbe other to be assured that these manifestations ar6 the real

work of departed spirits. The

free exhibition mt Pence's Hall

vrig

designed

to draw from the Dowling

Hall andience, bat it only seemed to increfse tbe interest. In this move our gpiritaalistic friends exhibited a blind zeal. Unfortunately, tbe spirits did not co,me up to the work as they shoald have done, iiod the demonstrations were not entirely satisfactory. A crowd of rowdies in the rear of tho hall caused inharmonious conditions by their disgraceful conduct.

To detail Prof. Baldwin's performance at Dowling Htll is long and tediousTbe morning papers bare been before tin and 'done Ibis fully. Suffice it to nay that tbe preliminary performance was substantially that of the Davenport Brothers, Fay, Foster, Mrs. Stew* art, the Morgan Children and others, after

Prof. Baldwin gives another exhibition at Dowling Hall to-night, and the professed spiritual mediums hold another seance at Pence's HalU to-mor-row evening. Fifty cents admission to each. "You pays your money, and you takes your choice."

For the want or accurate information which wo hope to supply hereafter, a number are omitted—among them John Dlckerson, John Sheets, Zadoc lloeves, Win. Eldridge, J. 0. Fox worthy and others. Also H. P. Bro kaw, Sr., who settled in Vlncennesin 1817. Since his residence here—about seven years—ho has celebrated his golden wedding.

We met yesterday the wife of the man who plowed the first furrow in Harrison towuship—Joseph Liston, now residing in Pierson township, at the advanced age of ninety-two years. His sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Moore, is tbe Urst female who settled in this county.

Mr.

Liston came here in 1811, and has not been absent four months at a time since.

OrKKA Housis.—On Friday and Saturday evenings of next week the Agnes Wallace troupe will appear at the Opera House for tho first time. Agnes, we believe is the eldest of the popular Wal1 ace-Sisters and this is her first visit to this city. Of her and her company the Lafayette Journal says:

We have never had on our stage a more dashing, vivaoious, bright little aotross than Agnes, and last night she shone to perfection, never losing her interest from beginning to end showing a faculty of really fine acting we have rarely teen surpassed off tbe stages of the grMt cities. Sam, B. Villa, as Maid Marian, was very laughable throughout, and bis make-up was the height of tbe ludicrous, which added to his manner an exquisite burlesque on an advance female on the matrimonial anxious seat, took the house by storm. He is a splendid actor, and always plavs his parts in a manner that cannot fail to please those who have a taste for the drama. The cast of Robin Hood was an exceedingly strong one, and the play was given with good effect. The organisation embraces better talent in the line of burlesque and comedy than any other which has ever appeared here, end we commend them to the amusement loving of our sister cities as ladles and gentlemen of the dramatic art, Te the public press we,cordially commend the company and its management. They will fully sustain all that may be said in their praise. We hope at some future time to renew oar pleasant acquaintance with the company. The orchestra famishes the finest music we think we have ever heard before the footlights in this town. It was the subjeet of frequent comment by the audience during tbe evening. The uniformed band parade is certainly the richest thing of ttw kind attempted in this city. The Wallace Villa Batsd discoursed souie One music at the consecretion of tho Catholic Church yesterday afternoon at thr*e o'clock.*'

a thorough exposure was

made of bow the tricks are done. He demonstrated to

a°y

unprejudiced

mind that all that has ever been done at Pence's Hall, can be done by human agency. Mr. B's performance and exposure is much more satisfying and complete than that of Von Vleck, who figured here ipme time ago. As revealed by him the whole manifestation business api^ars so ludicrous, so silly, it does see^i strange that intelligent men and women can believe it the work of disembodied spirit*.

advertisement for the re-letting

of tbe contract for building sewers will be found in another column. It will be observed that three sewers are to be built, bids to be made by the linear foot, contractors to furnish all material.

MARRIAGE LICENSES.—The following marriage licenses have been issued by tbe County Clerk since our last report:

Bass Wick ham to Mary A. Hteventon. John R. Holson to Rebecca A. Meline. John Julian to Amanita J. Cobble. Hezkiah M. Asbmoreand Kate L. MoGee.

THE first installment of the new city scrip has arrived and been put in circulation. The bills are very neatly engraved in black, with a green back. The City Treasurer is now paying all orders with one-half government currency and one-half scrip. Tbe latter will pass readily at par for all business transactions in tbe city.

THBRK are lots of rumors of newspaper changes and new ventures in this city. Terre Haute is suffering for several more newspapers and half a dozen job printing offices. Any man can make a fortune by engaging in the printing business right now. If he has failed at everything else so much the better. This is sarcasm.
