It will be a.source of regret to many a young man in after life that he did not avail himself of the benefits of a correct business education at Garvin & Isbell's Terre Haute Commercial College.
It cannot be mentioned toe often that the place for light harness is at Peter Miller's, on south Fourth street, because Caleb Ball, the dhampion in this line of work is now in the employ of that manufactory.

From the Boston Home Journal we learn that the mother of Miss Fannie Kellogg, the singer, died very suddenly at her residence in Cambridge, of apoplexy, Tuesday evening of last week. This bereavement is doubly sad, following so soon upon the death of her father, who died only three weeks sinoe.
A. H. Boegeman, the boot and shoe manufacturer, No. 118 South Fourth street, is building up a big trade in cueotn made work. He gives this his ersonal supervision, uses only the beet stock, and makes a specialty of women's kid and goat shoes, and men's calf boots, pegged and sewed. If you want good, honest work, give Mr. Boegeman atrial. He will not be excelled.
Few cities In the west are so well supplied with grocery stores as Terre Haute. We cannot say bow many there are, but the bulk of the trade is done by a very lew. For instance there Is Wright King, on the corner of Main and Seventh streets. Their immense house is pecked full of every article wanted for the table. A large acquaintance in the country enables them to^etthe freshes* country produce. Their agents at various points are constantly shipping them supplies by rail, and owing to their large trade the goods are constantly moving and consequently always fresh. Give Wright fc King your patronage if JOU jFUh to be honestly dealt by.

Ruskin says: "A selfish person can never make an artist." Putting a bank president in jail for false swearing is a St. Louis novelty.
We sympathize with tbe^znan who has a sore thumb. Still we don't want him to carry our plate of soup.—Danbury News.
A Baltimore public school teacher is charged with having accepted bribes from parents, who thus hoped toprecure extra care for their children.
There is a couple in Des Moines who were divorced sixteen yean ago, and met Sunday for the first time sinpe. Mutual explanations followed, and they shook hands across the chasm
The latest swindle on formers—the bogus "census taking" blank—is being successfully worked in the rural dis* ricts of Wisconsin. It isjin vain to warn those people who will not subscribe for newspapers. "A plaoe for everything, and everything in its place." A man at Yale nails his slippers on the wall four feet up, and then all he has to do of an evening is to wheel up his easy ohair in front of the and pull out his meerschaum.
Twenty seven years ago there were born to the wife of William Marshall, of Whitewater, Wisconsin, triplets—two boys and a girl. A few evenings ago they were all married, in a bunch, one minister performing the ceremony for all of them. "I believe in a personal devil," said Mr. Moody, at a revival meeting held in a remote western city. "That's true, that's true—you're right there, stranger," said an old farmer, rising from his seat in earnestness. Whereupon a calm faced, placid looking woman rose from the other end of the pew, took him by the ear and led him slowly out, and the assembly knew then, for the first time, that tb§ mae'i? mind was filled "with domestic thoughts instead of the hereafter.
Mr. Barker of Brown county, 111., seeing his two female cousins approaching, said jocularly: "I'll give them a salute." Drawing a revolver, he threw his ^hand back over his head and pulled the trigger. The first shot struck Barker's uncle in the head, and he fell dead. The young man didn't see this result of his first salute and fired again. This time he hit young man, who stood near his uncle, and he died in forty minutes. Barker was arrested and will be tried for murder.
What's the matter with the ministers? This time it is Rev. H. W. Richardson, of Sea Cliff, N. Y., and he has not only eloped with his wife's sister, but leaves half a dozen small children to bewail bis downfall. Scarcely a week passes that does not record the wrong doing of some miscreant wearing the ministerial garb to cover his sins. In Richardson's case, the victim was a young girl scaroely nineteen years of age but it is a consoling fact that th& deserted wife is rejoiced at their departure. "Am I tired of life?" said a cheerful 61d man the other day, in reply to the question. "Not a bit of it. I remember landing in this town with a chip hat and a hickory shirt and a pair of breeches. I've been way up and I've been flat on my back, yet I'd like to begin and go it all over again—chip hat, shirt, breeches and all. Why? Well, you see, when you come to tbe end you don't know what's beyond. I'm dead sure of this other thing and on the whole this world just tiokles me to death."
Mr. Bliss, a conductor on the Rock Island Railroad, was only fivo feet in height, and Mr. Henry, a passenger, was .almost seven. Henry put his tioket in his hat band and stood up straight when the little oonduotor came along. Bliss could not reach the ticket, even by standing on his toes, and his comical efforts made the passengers laugh uproariously but, without changing countenance, he brought a step ladder, leaned it up against the big man, climbed up to the ticket, and then went on as though nothing had happened.
Bernard Blglin went home from a ca rousai at Vernon Hill, Neb., expressly "to have some fun with the eld man," his father. He began by pulling his aged parent out of bed and compelling him to dance a jig barefooted on the oold floor. Then he commanded hi* father to stand on his head bat the feat was beyond the old man's power, and the son had begun to whip him for failing, when his mother, a stalwart sort of woman, bounded out with a chair and knocked him senseless. Bernard's skull was broken and he came near dying.
The New York correspondent of the Boston Sunday Budget says that Dr. C. Palmer, a retired physician, opens bis handsome house in Fifteenth street, New York, on Tuesday afternoons for prayer, and "frequently a beautiful woman, in middle life, belonging to one of the most aristocratic families of America, formerly a leader of fashion, and now devoted to a religious life, sometimes speaks, sometimes makes a prayer always sings, her faoe bearing an angelic beatitude that would make the fame of an artist if it could be pictured." A wolf has, however crept into tbe fold and stolen so many coats,
&cz,
that a
policeman has been placed on duty. The New Orleans Picayune tells this story: "Make the bed easy, Mr.," said old Uncle Abe to the undertaker, who was preparing tbe coffin for his aged wife. "Make the bed soft and easy, for her old bones axe tender and soft, and a bard bed will hurt them." He forgot for a moment—that old, gimj haired
man—that she was dead that the bones had done aching forever. Sixty fonr years had she walked by bis side^a true and loving wife. Sixty fonr years had they dwelt under the same sorrows of life together mourned over the ooffln of their first born together rejeioed in the prosperity of their sons and daughters, and now she has left him alone. No wonder he forgot. Her loving hands bad so long cared for him, for he had been the feebler of the two. "Until death do us part," said the marriage service that had united them so many years ago. Death had parted them, but the love still survived. Tenderly had he oared for her all these years, and how tenderly did he watch the making of the last bed of his still loved wife. He had bravely breasted tbe storm of life with her by his side, but, now that she was gone he oould not live, and in a few days they laid hioa by her side.
Easter will soon be here, and at the solicitation of many persons Button fc Co. have ordered a lot of beautiful Easter Cards, which fare greatly admired. The Central Bookstore is now, as always, headquarters for everything wanted in new and nobby stationery, blank books of every description and a general stock of oommercial stationery. In books, the collection is large and new publications constantly coming in. Any book not on their shelves will be promptly ordered. -s
