WK often have an exchange of pulpits by the pastors of this city. We have a suggestion. Why not an occasional exchange of choirs? We believe such exchanges would be beneficial in more ways than one, to the members of our several excellent choirs, and the novelty would be acceptable and pleasing to the congregation. What two choirs will inaugurate tho movement, and create a little flutter in a couple of congregations?

THE "Governor's Guards," the new military company, was mnstered into service, by General Cruft, Wednesday evening. Forty-nine men, under oom mand of Captain Hoctor, accepted the obligation. They are a fine-looking body of men, and will be if credit to our city. Jha military spirit, so long sub dned by the realities of war. seems to be reviving.

A NUMBER of the elderly ladies of this city met at the res'.dence of Mrs. E B. Allen on Monday, to oelebrate the seventy-sixth birthday anniversary of her venerable mother, Mrs. John Sibley.

I. O. U. F. wire the high sounding initials under which a masquerade ball was given at Armory Hall, Monday evening. People thought it the initials of some secret so. ietv. It turns out that A1 Moore and Henry Stein, two printers, were the only members. They took in about one hundred dollars at the door, left the ball at about ten o'clock, and the town soon after. Hence these tears from the Light Guards, Toute's Band and newspaper men, for unpaid rent, music and printing. I. O. U. F. is supposed to stand for I O Fools. hi

THE Temperance people have been skirmishing around this week with good results in the churches, two or three meetings being held each evening, but last night they were "at home," in Ar mory Hall, where a monster meeting, full of interest, was held. Sixty-two came forward and donned the ribbon of blue, making the total to date 6,830. About eight thousand have signed in Tigo county. To-night a meeting will be held at Armory Hall, when a charge of ten cents will be made. A meeting will be held to marrow evoning at Fort Harrison school house.

REPRESENTATIVKS of Asbury, But ler, Hanover, Franklin, Bloomington and Wabash Colleges contest for the prizes of the Indiana State Oratorical Associat!on, at Crawfordsvilie, next Thursday. The various railroads leading to that city will issue half-rate tickets, good for throe days. Our citizens should take especial pride in sustaining aby literary entertainment in which "Old Wabash" is interested. Without doubt the exercises this year will be of unusual interest, sinoe the orators represent the talent of ,the six principal colleges of our State.

DEAI-EHS in nails, and mechanics who use a groat many will be interested in tbe card upon the eighth page, of tbe Terre Haute Iron and Nail Works. It is well known that in every keg of naiis there are from three to five pounds of slivers and imperfect nails. Our Nail Works have introduced the Coyne Automatic Nail Picker, which does its work thoroughly of permitting none but perfect nails to go into tbe keg. This fact, together with the superior quality of the nails made here, will cause a largely increased demand for the Terre Haute Nail. ,,l(

THR doors of Riddle

A Hunsaker were

closed tliia week. The why and whorefore Is about this: Last July Mr. Riddle, on account of ill health and a lack of Income sutlicient to meet outstanding debts, felt the need of a partner and more capital. Mr. Hunsaker took au interest, paid a part and was to pay 92,000, in a short time. On the strength of this promise a large purchase was made. Mr. Hunsaker did not make good bis promise, and in fact, the firm affairs have been in an unsatisfactory condition for some time. B,v advice of attorneys, Mr. H. was allowed to take some f2,000 worth of goods, with which, packed In a valise, he left, it is supposed for far away Texas. Of tbe subsequent proceedings, many statements have been made, but without trying to get into the true inwardness, it is only necessary to say that Mr. Riddle's cred tors will grind him through the mill. It is to be hoped that he may soon be able to resume business. —The above was pot in type for the first edition. The Express this morning aays:

Mr. Erdhou«e will have the store of the late firm of Riddle A Hansaker open for business permanently. The trial of the assignment does not occnr until April, and Mr. Kiddle expects to have the matter all settled bv that time. He has been greatly complimented and encouraged or the letters and dixpatehes from hi* creditors. Several of them sent their hill* and accounts directly to him, one asking if Kii note should be sent to him for Kttlement, another desiring him to choose his own attorney for his acccount, and all manifesting entire confidence. FVrsonal accounts and debts of honor will be settled in full. At current rates the stock would pay 80 to 90 cents, and as it the settlement will he abont 60 to 70 cents.

TEI regular monthly concert of Centenary Sunday school win be given at the church on to-morrow (Sunday) evening.

THK

On Tuesday evening next the diama of Rosedale is to be produced at the Opera House, tbe proceeds to be donated to St.-Stephen's Church. Rosedale is Iroin the pen of tbe famous actor and manager, Lester Wallack, at whose theatre in New York, tbe drama had run of over two hundred nights, when was originally produced, about ten years ago. Great care has been taken tbe preparation of tbe play, and it will be produced in a manner which can leave nothing to be wished for. The cast of characters will be as follows:

To-night at the Opera House Gen George A.Sheridan.of New Orleans, will deliver his lecture on "The Life and Times of Oliver P. Morton." Speaking of his Lecture in Lafayette, tbe Journal says it is strong, systematic, original brilliant and eminently successful. The General is emphatically an orator. His voice, gestures, physique, all combine, with a clear cultivated mind, a keen appreciation of the beautiful, and splendid imagination, to make bim-a powerful man. A large number of tickets have been sold. Tae proceeds go to the Morton Monumental Fund.

Everyone knew that wheiinimeh a jolly quartette of talent as Barlow, Wilson, Pr mrose it West Joined hands in a buniness engagement that there would be music on tne ro«l and those who viMited their entertainment last night certainly got value received. These four artists have made national reputations as spec'alists, and their team as it stands is worthy oi pationnge. Thanks to their originality they have departed in a measure from the stereotyped first part of tbe old time minstrel show, and the innovation is most commendable. The flrst part f-irly bristles with harmony and innooent mirth, and wtth Barlow and Wilson as kings of the carnival, the fun is fast and furious from flrst to last, but never low or any way ob jectionable.
