THK National house dining room has received a dressing of paper, with Dado linish, and aii that the name implies, by the artirfta from ll/co A Walmsley's establishment.

THE First Baptist Church lias endorsed tho action of the Council, and iuvited Itev. C. R. Henderson to return as pastor. The call closes with an afllrmatiou in a profound belief in tha doctrines of thechurcii as set forth lu tho articles Of faith, and an oarnust'desire and expectation that the pisUr will make them the basis of future pulpit ministrations.

OCCASIONALLY it happens that a man will watkup tho street in a newly purohaeed ready made coat, with the clothier's ticket conspicuous on tbe collar. Women are rarely so careless but this week a lady was remarked on Main street sailiug proudly along In a bran new bat, the back of which was embellished with a three lnch price tioket, and she appeared immensely flattered by the attention she received from passers-by.

PBRHAIM the reason why there are so few weddings in Mxy, is that the month is more suitable fur prcj?ctiug than consummating them.

MRS.MARY STEAJIX, residing at the southwest corner of Mulberry and First streets, was about to retire Wednesday evening, and in the act of turning down the bed clothes, fell to the floor and immediately expired. Heart disease was the cause. A sick husband and six children are left in a pitiable condition.

THERE was a large meeting of men of all parties, at the Court House, last night, and it was resolved to ferret out the alleged frauds committed at the recent city election, and bring the guilty to justice. The zeal manifested would be better appreciate-1 if there did not creep in a suspicion that each party is endeavoring In this way to coyer up its own tracks.

REVS. DARWOOD, Martyn, Pavey, and other ministers have for several evenings the past two weeks been attending Mrs. Stewart's seances at Pence's Hall, with anything but satisfactory results. They were not allowed to use any tests outside those to which the spirits a^e accustomed. They are of the opinion so freely expressed in thia papet time and again, that tbe entire performance is a fraud, and that of tbe moat gauzy character. We have never said, and do not say now, that Hook, Pence and Conner are parties to the fraud, but really tbe mariner- they stand up for and protect the medium in her work, and steadily object to many reasonable tests that would tend to at least mystify if not convert skeptics, is calculated to put them in a bad light with people who are uet so well acquainted with their good standing in thi? community as the writer of this para^aaph.

THE lecture of v. Alex. Starrest, on '•Advanced Thinkers," to be given at theOpora House next Tuesday evening, promises to be a rich treat, and will doubtless call out a large audience at the reasonable price of twenty-five cepts for admission. We are told that it is a literary production unlike anything of tbe sort now extant a sharp and incisive satire on the pretentions of so-call-ed advanced thinkers among infidels of the day, a rollicking travesty on the absurdities of transcendental philosophers of all ages. The sutject of the lecture was suggested, by a remark of the Rev. C. R. Henderson, during the Hammond meetings, tbe matter was intensified by a conversation with Senator Voorhees on the currency question, and aggravated beyond the possibility of repression by the course of Col. Inger soil in his public deliverances. Musio and flowers will be added to the eloquence of the evening.

jliE ORA TORIO SOCIETY. Alter a year of gratifyiug success tbe Terre Haute Oratorio Society is about to enter upon the second of its existence with every sign of increased prosperity. From a small number of enthusiastic lovers of music, it has increased until it numbers upwards of a hundred members, among whom are nearly all the favorite singers of tbe city, as well as a nnmber of leading instrumentalists.

For this success, aside from the labor of its members and tbe devotion of its leader, the society is indebted to our citizens for the cordial manner iu which they have supported it in the responsible role which it has assumed. To maintain this and insure for the future more effectual attainment of its object, certain errors of organization have been corrected and plans laid that, carried out, must render the sooiety second to none in the State, and a credit to tbe musical culture of odr city.

To this end the' following by-law has been adopted by the board of directors and is published as of direct interest to the public: "Any person may become a contributing member upon the subscription and payment of Five (55.00) Collars, the privileges of membership to extend for one year from date of admission.'

Certificates or such membership shall en title ho der to Two (2) tickets to each public concert of the society. For each additional Five dollars snbscrioed, the member shall be entit.ed to Two addi iooal tickets to tbe concerts." (By-Laws, Art- VII.

The society appeals to the generosity and public spirit of our cltizonsthat they avail themselves of the above provision and thus support it in the promotion of its object—'"tho musical culture of its members, and the general diffusion of musical taste throughout t^e coqimunity." —THE annual picnic excursion of the Centenary Sunday Sobool will be given next Saturday. "Fern," on tbe I. &. St. L. Railroad, about 23 miles east of this city being selected as the objective point. Of course it will be ah enjoyable affair, as tho Centenary excursions always are. The fare is fixed at tbe low rate of 60 cents for adults and 30 ceuts for children, which will guarantee a large party. The committee appointed to examine the grounds, report them as highly attractive, in fact superior to any heretofore visited by the school. In addition to a beautiful, blue grass carpeted grove, there is an extensive tract of hilly woodland nearby, with a perfect wilderness of Ferns, from which tha station takes its name.

To Whom it May Concern

TERRS HAUTK, May 6th, 1878.

Fellow-citizens, and neighbors especially—1 wish to inform you that was married on tbe 24th day of September last, 1877, by the Rev. Alex. Sterrett, at his bouse, about eight o'clock in the evening, his 'family, my brother and wire being witnesses to the same. Any person or persons doubting tbe truthfulness of this statement can be made thoroughly satisfied by searching the records or by calling at my house, where they can see the certificate of my marriage as given by the Rev. Sterrett himself. I now publicly challenge investigation, or keep your ^nouths closed until you know what yon are talking about. Those who talk in an unknown tongue talk to God and not to man. Those who ere always talking about their neighbors are taking from others what they cannot give, for such people cannot give character or reputation. No one can say of truth anything against me or my character. I would advise busy-bodies to look down into their hearts of deceit and darkness and see how they stand with God. This may pass away with time, but it stands iu eternity against yon. Stop and think if you can stand and face all the falsehoods before your God. I would like a rest from lying tongues, for I stand unimpeachable before the world and know th«t I try to live day bv day asl ought to live when I come to die.

"What to eat and how to cook it," is tbe name of a book recently published.
