THUS kind of weather makes a man feel energetic and kindly, and he gets tip betimes in the morning, eats a hearty breakfast, looks over tho garden patch, takes his hoe and spade, and— puts them in the shade, and goes down town to see a man.

THE Indianapolis Evening News now roaches this city on tho evening of its publication, and will bo sold on the stroets at 2 cents per copy. It is one of the very bost daily newspapers in the oountry, and, if we are not greatly mistaken, will quickly become a favorite here. _____

CAJX on Wharton, Riddle Co. fofl| one of the neat and Compact tables they are giving away. It contains the Presidential v«?e from 1789 to 1872 the electoral vote of 1*76, stating number of electors for each State, and blanks for setting down tho vote to be oast. It is valuable for reference.

THERE was a large crowd in townsomewhat damaging to the cry of "hard times"—a magnificent street display, only a tolerable menagerie, and one of the best old time clrcuases now on tbe road. That was Howe's London Circus exhibited here on Wednesday to two very large and well satisfied audiences.

TUB whole number of interments, from both city and country, at the city cemetery in the month of May was but eighteen. Of these, only thirteen were caused by disease. Two of the persons buried were drowned, one died from the accidental cutting of an artery and two were stilt born. The list will be found in another part of this paper.

The petition was referred to the Judi-c'a'-y Committee with instructions to report at the next meeting of tbe CounCIL. ,.T.

THE present is a splendid season for the consumption of "sweetened wind, and soda water dealers are in an unusually contented frame of mind. There seems also- to be a greater variety of bright colored hair oils used for syrups than ever before. So far there has been no fatal termination to any of the violent cramps among drinkers. This iAay be owing in a great measure to the popularity of "don't care" syrup. -1

THE employes of tho Evansville A Terre Haute railroad are reported to have said that Howe's circus was unleaded from the cars Wednesday without a single oath from any member of the circus party—a circumstance as creditable as it is rare. But Why shouldn't manageis of circuses as well as other business men make the discoveiy that it is better in all respccts to employ decent men to serve them than drunken blackguards.

A backing train struck the car on which be was standing with such force as to throw him forward onto the track between that and another car. His head and left arm were severed from tbe body. The toes of the left foot were out ofT and the wheels also passed upward and across the groin, upon tho right side, making most fearful wounds. He never spoke or breathed after the accident. His wife was a witness of tbe awful calamity, though not near enough to recognize him at tho moment. Tho deceased was a most worthy and excellent man and enjoyed tbe respect of all who knew him. He was a half brother of George H. Hebb, of the printing firm of Hebb A Wigley. Ho leaves a wife and two children.

THE city Board of Equalisation has been in session this week. It is understood that they have raised the assessment about (40,000.

THE city has suffered an irruption of tramps since tbe circus left. It is supposed that they came in from all directions to *eo tbe show.

FOR an example of a beautifully finished room the one intended for McKeen A Minshall's Bank, corner of Sixth ard Main, will bear inspection.

FOR putting under carpets there is nothing better than newspapers. These in good order, in packages of one hundred for sale at The Mail office, at fiity cents.

THE north end Democrats, according to the Gazette, are collecting money by subscription, to raise a 100 feet pole tbe day oi the Presidential nomination at St. Louis.

THE festival at Mont Rose ohurch Thursday and Friday evenings was quite succussful, as all previous efforts by the people of that church have invariably been.

IT is now pretty certain that the Cincinnati and Terre Haute railway will be extended to Worthington. There seems to be no end to proposed railroad connections with that lively suburb. 1

ONE of the cars in Howe's circus train jumped the track Thursday morning when about six miles this side of Indianapolis. The train was moving slowly at the time and but little damage was done.

COMPLAINT is made that certain visitors to tbe city cemetery (Do give that cemetery a name, somebody!) are in the habit of robbing the graves of flowers. Tbe charge is almost too 'orrible for belief. *mu

A FINE cow belonging to Mr. James Kelley was killed Thursday by a passenger train on the E. A C. road. Now that, you see, is all the fault of the coaDcil. Such accidents might be prevented by a good cow ordinance. We codM almost laugh to heat of some councilman's cow getting killed.

ROLLIN HOWAHD will be here on the Fourth of Julj* with a firjt class Burlesque Opera Troupe," including Mies Nellie Larkelle, Miss Alice Kemp and Miss Fannie Beane, and promises something rich in the way of fine singing and fun. Tbey will give a matinee in the afternoon for the benefit df the ladies and children. They may expect a big house as the above mentioned artists are big favorites in Terre Haute.

THE Fourth street market is beginning to assume it3 old time busy and attractive character. The gardeners make it a point to have tbe house supplied with fresh vegetables every day in tbe week, but Saturday is the big day. Among tbe features, besides the stalls l5r butchers and gardeners, are a restaurant, a fruit stand, grocery store, with canned fruits, Ac. We have been without a market house so long that the people are slow to get back there for their table supplies. A walk down there this evening would be interesting aad profitable.

WEDNESDAY morning, about eight o'clock, Mr. Joseph Weidel, an old and highly respected citizen dropped dead while seated in a chair at the parsonage of the German Catholic church. Mr. Weidel left his home on north Ninth street about 7 o'clock, feeling perfectly well, to attend mass at the church mentioned. After the mass ho repaired to the residence of the pastor to settle up some matters in connection with the picnic. He was seated but a few moments when all of a sudden bo fell from the chair to tbe floor and was dead before aid could he extended to him. Mr. W.*was In bis 72d year and his death is attributed to apoplexy. He was tbe father of Charles and Anton Weidel, well known business men of this city. His death will be generally regretted.
