MARRIAGE LICENSES. The following marriage licenses hare been issued sine© oar last report:

Isaac Beamer and Matilda Bowman.' Alexander Uleraea to Hannah Olltenber* I I. 9 ..*» ft CLARA RKINMANK, the Indiana songstress, delighted a "small bat appreciative" audience with her singing, at the Opera House, Wednesday evening. She has a voice of much power—perhaps a little lacking In polish—and la certain to figure largely in lyrical circles in the years to come. -".v,.-,-

THB most unique, comical and laughable church entertainment of the season, was that of the "Peak Family," st the Congregational Church, Thursday evening, and the manner in which It was conducted reflected much credit upon Mrs. Louise Closser, the master spirit, who was ably and enthusiastically assisted by Mrs. Madison, Mrs. Sheets, Misses Alice Warren, Kate Stone, Letba Paddock, Luella Weal fall, Gussle Tarnbling and Anna Topping, 'm-

WJB are not at all Puritanical in our ideas of the observance of the Sabbath, bnt "a decent respect for the opinions of others," should direct the march of a picnic excursion and brass band in some other direction than in the vicinity of six churahss, with worshipping congregations, aggregating over two thousand persons, as was the case last Sunday. If picnio excursions must parade our streets on Sunday, with loud playing brass bands, let it be before or after church services, Jj*

KA TH OF MAYOR EDM UNDS. On Monday evening, at bis residence, on south Fourth street, James B, Edmunds died, of pneumonia, after an illness of several weeks.

Samuel W. and Lucy Edmunds, his parents, came to this oounty, from the State of New York, in 1819. James Bratt Edmunds, their third sou, was born iu Nevins township, near Creal's mill, on the 28th day of July, 1831, and has ever since been a resident of this city and county. With the exception of brief intervals, all his li fe, since he came to early manhood has been devoted to the newspaper profession. His first caste of this was some thirty years ago when he contributed weekly to an amateur paper, oalled the "Tornado." That paper became too personal and was suppressed. In the year 1850, with his cousin, Isaac N." 3oltiin, the "Prairie City" was established, ana in this paper was introduced a style of local paragraphing new to the people of that day, and by which be established his reputation as a newspaper writer. He early learned to set type, and was accustomed eveu to the last years of his newspaper life, to go to the cose and set type for hours without copy before him—trans ferrlng bis thoughts and ideas direct from bis brain to the type.

In 1856 he took a partnership interest with Grafton F. Cookerly and Thos. I. Bourne, in the puolication of the weekly Journal. Mr. Bourne soon retired and the remaining partners started the Daily Journal, with whioh he was connected most of the time until it was sold to Col. Hudson.

He was one of the proprietors ot the new paper. The Saturday Evening Ledger, and expected to take the lead in its editorial conduct, but his last illness prevented bis taking any part.

Mr, Edmunds has held several city offices and in all performed his duties fatbfully. In 1853 he was elected City Clerk served two terms tis City Treasurer, one term as Councilman. In 1875 be was elected Mayor, by a large majority and re-elected to the same position last month. Growing with the city from his youth up, it was but Lural that he should take a lively interest in all that tended to its prosperity.

The deceased was a man of strong convictions, and did not hesitate to express his views. He was lacking in sociability with the masses of the people, a fault for which we have often heard him express regret, but to his intimate acquaintances he was a warm and devoted iriend, and by them was held in the highest esteem. That he was esteemed and honored by ail the people with whom he has passed all his lifo, has been attested in a marked manner by the complimentary votes given him when placed iu office. ile a large family—a wifo and eight children—seven sous and one daughter—to whom hie was warmly and devotedly attached.

The regular meeting of the City Council, on Tuesday evening, was adjourned in respejt to his memory, after adopting appropriate resolutions, supplemented by remarks frutn ex-mayors Cookerly, Hook and Thou.a?. The council chamber and city offices were draped in mourning, and fiags about the city placed at half mast.

The procession accompanying the body to the grave on Thursday morning was one of the largest ever witnessed in this city, reaohing frcm Main street to the cemetery gat.e. The Odd Fellows, of which order he had been an honored member since 1853, took oharge of the remains after tho funeral sermon of Rev. W. M. Darwood. K. B. Hamilton, N. G. of the Lodge conducted the beautifal ceremony of the order and the body was placed In its last resting place.

THE sixth annual commencement exercises of the State Normal Sohool occurred on Wednesday, in the presence of large and interested audiences both morning and afternoon. The ladies of the class set au example, deserving of imitation throughout the land, by dressing In neat and utiiform suits of light calico. The dally papers have given lull reports of the exercises which The Mall has not space to repeat. It Is sufficient to say that the exhibition gave evidence of the Drfect and thorough training Imparted at this model institution to those who wish to fit themselves for teachers. The class sent out this year consists of:

Olivia J. Bradshaw, East Liverpool, O. Sarah E. Oosley, Terre Haute. Alma J. Boore, Terre Haute, Marcia Mitchell, Terre Haute. Annie Moore, Nineveh, Johnson co. William B,Jf o^s, Ell^iUe. Boone coanty. -**».!#*,

Albert E. Humke, Laketon, Wabash oounty. Charles E. Bickmore, Bradford, Me.

FOR the eleventh time our people assembled last night to witness the commencement exercises of the High School, the crowning glory of our system of schools. The chargu of a small admission fee did not seem to deter any from attending, for the Opera House was filled, but It did secure more comfort and a more attentive audience. We bare not space to go Into detail of the exercises whl?h were interesting throughout. The ctraduatlng disss this year consists ofi

THAT ABE SPECIAL "BIO BARGAIN."

A DELIGHTFUL innovation in the way of church entertainments wasaiawn social for the benefit of the Baptist Ohuroh, Tuesday evening, In the grounds adjoining the residence of Issac Ball. The house was deoorated and Illuminated, and dozens of Chinese lanterns in the trees presented an er"banting." scene which was enjoyed in the happiest manner by a large party of ladies and gentlemen. um-m w&v —r. ———.

THERE is soarcely a doubt now that ClSary will recover from his wounds. At the time of the shooting it was tho opinion of the surgoons that either of the wounds would cause 'a fatal termination, but to the surprise and intense gratification of his friends, he is doing well, gaining strength rapidly, and will soon be out again. He was able to walk across the room yesterday morning and will have full nso of his arm. «,4 iAv
