According to the Marshall Messenger, Rev. 8. S. Martyn is talked of as the principal of the public schools of that place. Mr. Martyn, who is a graduate of Yale College, is fully competent to assume tbe position, and should- he do so, would give the fullest satisfaction.

Every person who has a house wants it nicely furnished, to do which they always go to tbe furniture store of R. Foster & Son's, North Fourth street, where everything in that line can be purchased at the very lowest rates.

Everybody wants to eat, and every body that wants to eat, wants to eat something good, and to eat something good everybody and all his relatives should go to Smith & Burnett, the enterprising grocers, corner of Fourth and Walnut streets, who have everything in the eating line at prices that cannot be beat. They buy their goods from the manufacturers and importers, and hence their low prices.

If there is any one thing in the way of dress that makes a person look eminently respectable, it is tbe article of foot wear. A man with boots or shoes run down at the heel can neither feel nor look respectable. If you want boots or shoes that will exhibit none of these characteristics, J. P. Tutt, at the Opera House shoe store, is tbe very man to supply your wants. His stock is large and selected from the best manufactures. "Music bath charms to soothe the savage ear," providing, of course, that tbe instrument producing it is purchased at W. H. Paige A Co's. They can furnish you with any musical instrument, from a tin whistle up to the completest outfit for a brass band, or a primary music book to the score of an opera, at most reasonable terms. Tbey are also agents for the Chickering piano and Mason & Hamlin organ.

It was a source of great astonishment to the visitors at the Artesian well at noon to-day, to find that the water had ceased to run, and no one could imagine tbe cause, until it was suggested that it might have been tbe immense pressure of the crowds going to Chapman's Market Dining Rooms for a good square meal at his low price of twenty-five cents, and housekeepers going to his bakery fo'r the good home flavored bread.

There is no man living who has not at some time in his boyhood days recited that beautiful couplet ending, "Sugar is sweet and so are you"—and speaking of sugsr reminds us that J. M. Riffner fe Son, at tbe China Tea Store, on the south aldo of Main, east of Fifth, have a full line of Sugars of superior quality, whidh they are selling atapecie basis prices. Their stock of Teas is also large, em bracing all tbe varlties and were purchased from first hands. They call special attention to tbeir SOc and $1.00 Teas.

Aiinan who attends to bis business, .never makes sport of tbe efforts of another dealer in bis line, and, to express it briefly, "minds bis own bnsiness." will, according to the law of the "survival of the fittest," always succeed. Such a man is P. Miller, the South Fourth street harness dealer. He has on hand one of the finest stocks of harness, saddles, whips, lap dusters, fly nets, and all other goods in that line, ever seen in this city, all of which he is selling at bottom prices. If you want anything in his line be sure and call on him before buying.

A distinguished professor of astronomy discovered anew planet during the recent eclipse. It had previously been obscured by tbe light of the sun. But nothing can obscure tbe Came of Wright A King, tbe Seveutb and Main street grocer*, as caterer* to Uie public taste. To day they have fairly outdid themselves in the way of table supplies. They have everything eatable, among which may be mentioned ripe apples and peaches, green corn, vegetables fresh and in great abundance, carined goods, fish, everything in the line of staple and fancy groceries, hams, breakfast bacon and extra dried beef, spring chickens, Graham and St, Louts Mills Patent FSour, cracked wheat, Akron oatmeal, Hud nut's clean meal, grits and hominy, and in foot everything needed for tbe table.

TERREi HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING JV1AJJ&.

Miss Luetta Hedges, who has been teaching a class InmuaEfe at 8and Creek, in Parke county gave a musloal entertainment at Bethensy cfanrch, at that place, last Thursday evening, which proved to be a success in every portico lsr.'

Boo. Wm. Mack returoed Tuesday from Nashville, where he had been summoned by the Baxter-Hicks tragedy, From him it is learned that public sentiment fully justifies the Baxters in the shooting which was mentioned in this paper last week. Hicks was a sporting character, with little or no reputation, while the Baxters were known aa quiet none of them ever having had a difficulty before that. Although it is not known yet whether they will be brought to trial, in case they should there is no danger of a conviction.

INVINCIBLE BACHELORS.

How the Terre Haute Haute it Demoralising the Young Memo/ Our City.

From a racy letter in the Indianapolis Journal of yesterday, we extract the following, which we have reason to fear is buttootrue. After an interesting description of the hotel, the writer proceeds:

In April, 1875, the house passsed Into the ownership of Messrs. Ripley & Tuell, and under the management of Mr. George F. Ripley, one of the most affable, gentlemanly hotel men to be met with, who is asissted by his son George and Messrs. A. Shaw and Eli B. Hamilton as clerke—an excellent staff. But one of the noticeable features of the house, especially to the ladies of Terre Haute, is the peculiar fsseinatlon it hss upon the geutlemen, for no order of monks could be more devoted to celibacy thau art tbe gentlemen who make it their home. "Abandon ye all hope (or deeire of marriage) who enter here," seems to be an invisible inscription somewhere over its hospitable doors, and with good reason may the ladies here regard tbe house with dubloua feelings of adh tion, and with an inquisitive desire to know .whst makes it such a rival to their blandishmente with the men. It would appear as if for once thst oft quoted expression of "All the comforts of a home,'' was realized in this hotel by tbe men, and so complete their satisfaction in its comforts that the doubtful benefits of a wife lose all their charms, and they become confirmed, contented, jolly old bachelors, greatly to tbeir lady friends' disgust. In fact, It is whispered that when a lady is engsged to a gentle man and she lesrns that be baa gone to the "Terre Haute" to board, she immediately casts her matrimonial net for another lover, accepting it as certain that the first will never enter tbe bridal harness. This may be only rumor, however.

Among the many regular guests of the house, a glance tbrougb its books shows there are thirty-six gentlemen that are bachelors (or widowers), sll permaaent settlers, and giving no evidence of any intention to become benedicts.

And it is to be noted that they are all excellent, worthy gentlemen, steady in habits, engaged in good business or professions, and all very eligible to become husbands—a perfect aggravation to tbe ladies. There is J. H. Berry, a regular of ten years on the books Jos. Collett, 15 vears F. Nippert, 15 years Albert Larr, 10 years George Penn, 10 years Col. W. K. Edwards, a veteran of 31 years on the books, a long time P. D. Yerrington, 5 years H. B. Jones, 8 years S. C. Davis, 5 years T. P. Murray, 15 vears Sheldon Swope, years W. W. Austin, 5 years Thomas H. Nelson, a great favorite acd admirer of the ladles, who declare be is but 28 years of age, while he insists that be is really 39. Then comes

Emil Bauer,

Dr. Yon Moschzisker, Ed Sage, Charley Ray, Will Gorbam, W. W. Adamson, Samuel J. Bridwell, W. H. Sellers, W. C. Ball, Fred Barkley, J. P. Jones, A. O. Johns, C. S. Anderson, F. A. Eld red, E4 Owens, W. A. Crawford, Ed Henderson, H. M. Smith, W. F. Smith, B. V. Marshall, Ed Friend, (what would they do without him T) Ed Reed, and C. W. Holmes. All of these are of from one to six years' residence in the bouse, and are safe to be regarded as old bachelors. And they are an unexcelled social fraternity, in many features resembling the famous "Albany" bachelor club, of Boston.

Some of them are quite popular ladies' men, and are the leaders of a circle that gives a series of brilliant social reunions st tbe hotel each winter. Bnt there araeome of those so far gonein celibacy that tbe eight of a dainty No. 2 gaiter encasing a neatly-turned ankle only annoys them. The latter class are few in numbers, though.

It is something curious to observe their deep interest In the dally marriage license report, and to hear tbeir commiserating expressions of "poor fellow, well, well,"ss tbey read or some old companion who has left tbe bachelor state, and then to see tbe comforting glances tbey bestow on each other as they read over tbe divorce list, would at once convince tbeir lady friends of the hopelessness or their condition.

However, this peculisr bachelor coterie, with all tbeir oddities, area right royal genial party of gentlemen, seldom equaled for good qualities, at once a pride and benefit to Terre Haute. And

from their frequent-growls and mutterings, tbe ladies seem to have discovered tbeir usefulness for festivals, picnics, benefits, etc., and just how to turn them to good sccount, in spite of themselves. Although they will not marry, yet tbey are so handy to have around, and tho ladies know and appreciate this comforting fact, for what would society do without them, you know.
