TERBE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL,

R. W. Rippietoe's new branch store on Fourth street is the handsomest establishment of the kind, in the city, and is doing a "slashing" business. It doesn't keep any greater variety of goods than is kept at 155 Main, but the building is so admirably arranged tor showing the stock that purchasers naturally toll into the error of believing it does. It is a model grocery and a most satisfactory place to trade. And, by the way, it is curious that everybody does not buy of Rippetoe. He keeps so much more varied stock that anybody else keeps and sells at such close priees,is so accommodating and obliging in every way that his regular customers never think of going elsewhere.

Snails, buns, mince pies, green apple pies, dried beef, cheese, hot coffee, cider, ham sandwiches, bologna, cakes of all kinds, boiled eggs—and plenty of other good things to eat can be had at all times of the day or night at White A Mewhinney's lunch room.

Rev. N. L. Brakeman, formerly of Centennary, seems to be doing a grand good work at his new location, Frankfort, on the Logansport road. He is conducting a powerful revival, and up to date his labors have been rewarded with over sixty accessions to tho church, forty-nine of whom are heads of families. The Frankfort Banner speaking of the revival says:

The brethren of the Methodist church do not seem to weary in well doing. Their meetings seem te loose none of its interest, but rather to increase. The services on last Sunday were of special interest, and drew crowded houses all day, Sunday school services included. In the morning several persons wor« received into full connection. At night Mr. Brakeman preached his sermon on "the loss of the soul," to as many peoplo as could find sitting and standing room, including the aisles, vestibule, and gallery, and many went away for want of room. During the day four persons joined tho church. Monday night five joined. In all there have been 61 accessions, 49 of whom are heads of families. There is no estimating the good results of such a work. Such an earnest feeling in religious matters was never before experienced in Frankfort.

The Crescent of February 23rd, eays: A healthy moral sentiment was at work, under various forms, till recently backed up, aided and supplemented by a series of religious meetings culminating in the powerful and wide-spread revival now In progress in the M. E. church, till the whole town and vicinity for miles around, is pervaded with the healthy and reformatory influence, till instead of ribaldry, blasphemy and cursing heard upon our streets, you now hear the praises of God and ejaculations of prayer and thanksgiving.
