THK rumor Hint Sanders of tho Gasr.otte wont to Indianapolis the othor day for tho purpose of purchasing the Marion county Court Houso and removing it to this point, is without foundation. He moroly went ovor to see how work on the now Mason Houso was progressing. _______

Louis Wmairr, a well known and highly esteemed citlxon of Honey Creek township, died at his residence three miles below the city, on Tuesday last, of Pneumonia, He was born in Honey Creek township in tho year 1837. At the outbreak of the war he enlisted in the Eleventh Indiana, and while the war las tod ho was always found in tho front rank with his comrades. Since the close of the war he has resided npon his form, where he died. He was a widower, and leaves one child.

TUB east end has a show. It is an educated hog, and holds fbrth near the Terr© Ilauto House. It is accompanied by a very fine orchestra, consisting of a "cracked hand organ," (that's what tho Journal man calls it,) which discourseth swoot music to the neighborhood free of charge, yot, strange as it may seem, the people out thero wui't appreciate it. They call it an infernal nuisance, and other pet names of a similar import. That show had better move to quarters more congenial.

THK colored portion of the imputation of this community celebrated the anniversary of the passage of the Fifteenth amendment, on Tuesday last, at Dowling Hall. Hie attendance was not as largo as was expected, although a respectable number were present. Speeches suitable to the occasion were delivered by Rev. Anderson and Hon. J. fe. Hinton, after which the usual resolutions were passed. Asocial and supper was held in the evening, which was well attended and wound up the proceedings.

O important ti—a la our municipal government is that ef the Board of City Commissioners. Upon that body devolves the duty of assessing benefits and damages for the opening or extension of streets and alleys. Under the old law tho Commissioners were elected annually by the Common Council, but the Legislature, at its recent session, changed the law so that the Commissioners will hereafter be appointed by the Judge of the .Civil Circuit Court. Judge Patterson will, we are sure, appoint none but the beet men.

TUB Democrats are outalready for the city election. They arc a pos^HenjU^Lset of fellows anyhow!

A POPULAR restaurant, on Ohio street, hangs out tho following sign: "Dinner from 12 to 2 o'clock for 25 cts." Cheap orjough for two hours eating.

ALEXANDER MCPHJSTKRS mourns the loss of his pocket book, containing $127 and many valuable papers, which some adroit thief lifted from a oounter where be left it for a momept too long.

THKRE is a new sign en west Main street on which the finniliar and lion ored name of "TUELL" appears. It reminds us of the "Big T." in that particular locality, over twenty years ago!

THE Odd Fellows of this city are making extensive preparations for anexcursion to Paris, Ills., on tho 26th of this month. It is estimated that not less than two hundred persons will participate in tho excursion.

THE Congregational church soems inclined to do tho fair thing by its pastor, how that his health is broken. Besides voting him a leave of absence for five months and continuing his salary, tho ladies have made him a present of 9400 in cash, and other friends have added about $250 to that sum.

THE venerable city market house, on south Fourth street, is rapidly disappearing from tho active scenes of lifo. and soon its presence will be seen nevermore! This structure was erected in 1S38, and in that early day of Terre Haute history was considered one of the chief ornaments of tho town, being a costly substitute for the old frame market houso that for many years previous had stood in the middle of Third street, just south of Ohio. Tho brickwork on the Fourth street market houso was under the supervision of Ivufus Miner and John Askin had control of the carpenter work. Both gentlemen have been dead many 3rears, and now tho work of their skill and industry is also passing into oblivion. Likely as not tho shades of a million or more of fat beeves will riso up to pass in review tho departure of their former sceno of glory.

Ir is a shame tho manner in which the peoplo of this city treat many iirstclass entertainments. Lot an ordinary minstrel show come this way, and the Opera House is crowded to its utmost capacity, while an entertainment like that which Mr. A. P. Bnrbank gave us this week was not patronized well enough to pay the gas bill. Thoso who attendod were amply repaid for the time which tfioy spent. Mr. Burbank came hero an entiro stranger, and thoso who attended were not expecting such a rare treat. As a reader, we have hoard but fow who equal him, and certainly nono have ever been here who excel him. His readings from Rip Van Winkle wero almost as well done as Jefforson himsolf could desire. lie is not only a magnificent roader, but an actor of superior merit, and with all the stage appurtenances would mako an actor of rare morit. It is to be hoped tlfat ho will soon come this way again, and that he will have such a house as his talent deserves. ''.^7'-

OBITITARY.—One ol the saddest deaths it has ever been our province to chronicle is that of Airs. Fannie Kinder Davis, wife of Sant C. Davis, who died at her 'home, No. 67 north Fifth street, in this city, last night, in the twenty-ninth year of her ago. It is only three years since Mrs. Davis came to this city, a bride, from Indianapolis. Her gontloand amiable qualities attracted to her largo numbers of friends, and she seemed to havo entered only fairly npon the threshqld ol life's usefulness and enjoyment, when the Destroyer came. She was idolizod by her husband, family and friends, and there aro those who will never recover from the heart-break caused by her death. She was a sister of Captain Kinder, of Indianapolis, who was killed in Mexico, and her family is ono of the oldest and most honored in the State. She leaves bellind her the memory of a beautiful llfb that will live green in tho hoarts of many until the yoars now new grow old.—[Express, 31st inst.

Jonx N. MILLER, a well known citizen of Ililoy township, had an examination before Esquire Cookerly on Thursday last, on the charge of stealing a note for $1100, tho property of the estate of a man named Ilathorr.e, who died on the 4th of March lest. Tho circumstances of the dun are about as follows: During ITathorne's illness Mr. Miller had been in the habit of visiting him, and about threo days after his death his wife came to Miller and asked him to take car« of some notes which she had in her posses* sion, ami which she feared the sons of Hathorne would steal from her as they had forcibly taken money from her before. Mr. Miller took the notes, and in looking them over found an old note much defeced, and which he thought was for $U00 and told several of his neighbors so. Upon closer examination it proved to be for $11. After holding the notes about a week, one of liathorne's sons was appointed administrator of the estate, and the notes were turned over to him. Not satisfied with Miller's statement he came to town and had him arrested on the charge abovt* stated. The evidence did not make the shadow of a ease against Mr. Miller, and he was discharged without offering any evidence in his behalf whatever. The prosecution was actuated through malice ea the part of the prosecuting witness who has had a grudge against Miller for some time, and thought this a good opportunity of getting even. Mr. Miller is an old eitinm of this county and highly respected by all who know him, and does not intend to let the matter rest as

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

CITY POLITICS.

Tho time of holding tho city election draws near, and yet the number of candidates is alarmingly small thus fer, but one cannot tell what a day may bring forth. The democrats havo made the first move on the enemy's works. Their central committee held a meeting on Wednesday evening last which resulted as follows:—

The ward meetings for the selection of delegates will be held on Friday evening, April 0th., at 8 o'clock.

The geuoral convention for the nomination of candidates will be held on Saturday ovening, April 10th, at 8 o'clock.

Each ward will be' entitled to seven delegates in the general convention. The central committee will givo notice in duo timo of the place where the conventions will bo held.

The republicans havo done nothing thus far in relation to their convention, and who their candidates will be is a matter of conjecture. The workingmen it is thought, wish to nominate a ticket for city officers. If they will nominate good man for Mayor, a great many republicans aro in favor of abiding by their nomination, if tho remainder of the ticket is left to them, and it is quito probable this will bo done. The timber with which to make good councilmen seems to be scarce, and this looks badly as it is the most important part of the city government, and this department needs remodelling to a considerable extent.

IF a merchant should have struck off 4,000 circulars in reference to liis business au$ ho had in-his possoBsion the names of 4,000 people, would ho bo most benefitted by sending one to each of the four thousand, or by sending ono each day for four days to ono thousand No merchant would hesitate an fhstantovor such a proposition Ho would say one circular sent to each of four thousand customers is worth four times as much as four of tho same circulars sent to one thousand. The same rule holds good in newspaper advertising. The Saturday Evening Mail, going to four thousand families each week and beingreadlargely upon Sunday when the husband and wife are together to talk over and plan the purchases for tho coming week, is worth four times as much for advertising purposes as a paper having but a thousand circulation issued six times a week in the hurry and bustlo of business and but few copies of which are carried home to families- The number of persons reached by an advertisement is what gives it value.

THE services at St. Joseph's Catholic Church on Easter Sunday were very imposing. At each of tho services during the day tho church was crowded to its utmost capacity. Solemn High Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father McEvoy, assisted by Rev. Father Maurice and Brother Anselmn as deacon and subdeacon. The musical services were very fine, and were conducted by Prof. Faust.

Smidt's Grand Mass" was performed by a full choir. At the offertory a beautiful solo, entitled "Thou dids't not leave his soul in hell," was sung by Madam Hughes with great effect. At threo o'clock solemn vespers wore sung. Madam Hughes and Miss Ragan sang "To-day He is risen" in fine style,which was followed by "Margart's Magnificat," with "Reginia Ceali," by Sambillott. Prof. Faust sang "O, Salutaris Hoste" and "SWeet Spirit" which was followed by Schubert's "Tantum Ergo," by Madam Hughes. The services concluded with a beautiful Easter anthem arranged by Prof. Faust.

REV. AND MRS. E. F. HOWE gave a reception in the parlors of the Congregational Church on Thursday evening, and the rooms wore thronged with their friends. Tho parlors were beautifully decorated with pictures and flowers,'and an ample repast was served in the dining room. A marked and pleasant feature of the aflhir was tho presence of a very large number of those who are not identified with tho Church. It must have been exceedingly gratifying to Mr. and Mrs. Howe to know that they had so many friends, and if the good wishes which wero expressed during the evening are realised, the future of this gentleman and his lady will be filled with all good things.

LISTEN while we inform yon that an advertisement inserted in Thursday's and Saturday's Mail will foil into the hauds of 20,000 persons. The Mail is sold on Saturday by more than 150 newsboys. The Thursday paper goes to almost every posiofSce within fifty miles ol this city. It is sold by newsboys on the streets of all the surrounding towns. All advertisements go irito both papers for one price. The Mail is the people's paper—everybody takes it. Ten cents a line Is all that is charge for local or personal advertisements—five ceuts a line for each paper. Cheapest and best advertising afforded by any paper in the city.

THE old landmarks are rapidly passing away, and the places which knew them once will know them no more forever.
