TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENTFTG- MAIL.

W. H. Fisk, the man of jjumps, started for his old Pennsylvania home yesterday to be absent a couple of months.

To see is to believe—to hear is to be convinoed. We refer to the wonderful Chickering Upright Piano so successful ly Introduced and sold hero by W. H. Paige A Co.

Merchant*, bankers and business men generally, when yon want a good blank book made and ruled just as you want it, constructed of the best paper and substantially bound, patronize Lang ford's Bindery, on the corner of Ohio and

Fifth streets, ••--•w Readers di The Mall in tbe surrounding towns, when they come to the city will find courteous and hospitable en tertainment at the Carson House, and the most reasonable charges. This bouse, under the management of J. J. Carson, is fast growing in popular favor

Doubt that the stars are fire doubt that tbe earth doth move doubt truth to be a liar ", but never be in doubt when you want the choicest and freshest butter, eggs, poultry and country produce. Go direct to Gwynn & Naylor's, on north Fourth street, opposite the city school. They run their own buck ster wagons, and hence know where they get these articles for their patrons

A countryman coming into White & Mewhinney's, yesterday, asked, on seeing a bunch of bananas, "if those were pickies nailed to a stick!"—and then he looked with

at the other luscious

tropical and home fruits, the choice cohfections, the sweet tafl'ys, the pure candies, the great piles of cakes, pie), buns, and the splendid rolls and bread for which their bakery is famous, and then passed back to their elegant lunch room, and for a small sum got a substantial and appetizing dinner.

Henry Ward Beecher will probably not say anything about Button & Hamilton's Central Bookstore, although it is there that the sale of seats for his lecture is progressing, but

cannot avoid each

week making some mention of this elegant establishment, which is a credit to our city. They are constantly up with the times in the receipt of the latest and most popular publications, the newest styles of nobby stationery, lots of eleant things to orniuaent the horns, and a very large stock of blank books.

R. W. Rippctoe keeps the model grocery etores of tbe West. Purchasers will at all times find in bis places the choicest, freshest and best of everything eatable that thtre is going. Prices are alway3 reasonable and every possible pains is taken to oblige customers. There are certain obvious advantages in buying of a large dealer like Rippetoe, which should not be overlooked. Every citizen of Terre Haute should give the matter some thought and in these times buy where thoro is an advantage inbuying. Don't forget Rippetoe!

At a spiritual meeting, the other evening, the spirits asked "Are there any men in Terre Haute who are not going to buy their clothes from the magnificent new styles just brought on by J. P. Brennan, the popular low price Ohio street tailor?" They were informed that every man who understood where to buy the cheapest and best patronised that establishment. Then came the reply "Keep those that do not upon tbe earth and hold them up as fearful examples of personal carelessness. We have no use for slovens up here."
