TnE city has withdrawn its offer of reward for the arrest of Ernest Whitehouse.

PArER collars are worn longer now than formorly. That is in consequence of the hard times.

IT'S a dreadful annoyance to hundreds of our people to goto the show this afternoon, "just to please the children," you know!

AN average of five hundred men louuge about the saloon bars, in this city, discussing the best remedy for the hard times.

'Tis sweet to sae the clorks run out in front of their stores just about the time that good looking girls are supposed to be going to school.

SHREWD advertisers, especially tho who sell to women—and womeu do nine-tenths of the shopping—have long slnco recognised the superiority of The Mail as an advertising medium. One copy of The Mail will go through an entire neighborhood, and every woman In it will have a read at it. Containing a largo quantity of matter prepared ea pecially far them, it is not strange that it should meet with favor with them.

THE readers of The Mail will be pleased to learn that the popular Buckeye Cash Store is not to be closed. Mr. Ryoe has no thought of finding a purchaser, and has backed in with a determination that the house shall lose none of Its wellearned popularity. Read his announce* ment in another column. It has the true, honest ring in every word.

THE Gaaette stateu that week before laa^, little Dick, the youngest son of M^j. I). A. Ounover, at one time a resident of Terre Haute, but now living at Tuscola, III., was thrown trom a carriage, the horses attached to which were running away, and suffored Injuries from which he shortly after died. Friends of the family living here will be pained to learn of this misfortune which has fellen on the M^Jor.

A FINE PIANO. 4|

The most magnificent uprightplaco ever received by Kissner, the well known music dealer, and which in tho opinion of several experts has simply no rival in the chanty, has been delivered this week t• Mr. ChriatSchinnerer, a well known farmer of RUey township.

PROVERBS WITH NKW INTERPRET A nom. Life is short. We sympathise with life, we're 'short* too.

Time is money. There most be a great many wanied won about the street corners, to judge from the spare time they have. .1

Fire and fall back. A maxim adopted so effectually by Incendiaries in our midst that in 'falling back* our police fail of capturing them.

IT now looks like Collector White will have to step down and out. A Washington dispatch to the Indianapolis Journal, dated the 2nd, says the report of the special agent, with the recommendation of Commissioner Raum that White be removed, was submitted to the President by Secretary Sherman, and the Commissioner's recommendation approved by both the Secretary and President. So far as we have been able to see upon the surface, Mr. White has done nothing criminal, and the alleged carelessness or looseness does not appear to be of a serious nature. But perhaps "the longer we live the more we will find out Still we shall hesitate to believe that Collector White is a dishonest man. Hon. H. D. Scott feels quite confident that he will succeed to the fat collectorship, although N W. Cummings, of Rockville, is a candidate, with the influence, it is thought, of Congressman Hunter on bis side. Tt is not probable that an appointment will bo made until Col. Thompson arrives in Washington. If he controls it, Mr. Scott will bo the man, no doubt

Since the above -was printed in the first edition, it does not seem so ccrtain that any change will be made. Geu. White feels confident of this, but at the same time will quietly submit to what ever tho powers at Washington may decree.

JAMBS WILLIAM*, of Maxville, was driving home from this city Tuesday evening, and on being asked, gave permission to three strangers to ride. They chatted along for a little while, when one of them struck him on the back of the head, stunning him slightly, and the party robbed him of his money—$1.50 in all.

THE press upon tho advertising columns of The Mail shows a decidedly improved condition of business. Every dry goods house In the city is represented in these columns, also the leading clothing stores, and bouses in most all lines of business. Merchants are adver Using because there is business to be had, and those who offer tho public inducements are getting it.

THE leoture of Hon. D. W. Yoorhees, at the Opera House, Tuesday evening called out an audience that was highly complimentary to our distinguished townsman. His theme, as before announced was "Thomas Jefferson." It is sufficient for us to say that this great founder of Democracy was presented in such a manner as to really surprise those most accustomed to Mr. Voorhees' oratory. sjf

AT Brokaws' one day this week sat in a obair an old farmer, with a smile of happy content or. his countonance, while bis wife was laying in fall supplies. "Just give her what she wants," said he.

We've had a rough time for two years past, but I've just sold fifteen hundred bushels of wheat for $1.25 a bushel, paid off the mortgage on my place, and now with cash in my pocket and a big corn crop coming in, thank God, we're going to live once more. There are many such farmers in just this happy state of mind. The good old days are surely returning.
