THE HAOBR VETERANS. The entertainment prepared by these old soldiers and given at the Opera House, Wednesday evening, attracted a good sized audience, but the bouse should have been filled to overflowing. Those of our people who stayed away missed, in the excellent music of the Csdet Band, the popular songs of the Davis family, the readings and recitations of C, J. Colgan and Mrs. C. H. Talbot, of Indianapolis, and Prof. Car hart, of this city, the interesting sketch of Gen. Dan Macauley, In vivid colors telling of a night march in the Shenandoah Valley, witty and eloquent, full of pathos and sentiment, the priza drill of the home military, exciting the audience to the highest pitch—we ssy those who stayed sway missed, in all these, one of the most intereetlng entertainments given here for along while. The drill for the prize flag resulted in a vie tory to the McKeen Cadets, and the unanimous decision of the judges, given without hesitation, was confirmed by applause which seemed to raise the dome oi the hoose. The squad of Cadets was composed of Lon Duddleston, Harley Pritcbltt, George .Ludowlol, Walter Strange, John Turner, Thoe. Sanders, Alf Hoberg, snd Den Reese, with Will Ripley as drill sergeant. They certainly have acquired a degree of skill and proficiency seldom attained by any military organization. Every movement was as clockwork—the eight young
men
seeming like one machine. Mayor Havens scted as master of ceremonies, Col. McLean Introduced General Macauley, in bis usual bsppy manner, and the judges of the prize drill were Capt. Armstrong, ot Brazil, Capt. Hoctor, of this city, and Gen. Maoauley.

J. W. RILEY the Hoosier poet, humor* 1st and dialect reader, gives an entirely new programme, next Monday evening. Ail lovers of the elocutionary art should attend bis entertainment. The young poet is a marvel in his profession. He imitates the sublime and ridiculous so perfectly, end delineates character with so wonderful an exsctness that one is fairly electrified with his matchless natural powers.
COL. ROBERT O. IXQKKSOIX lectures here this evening. His subject is "What shall We Do to be Saved." The lecture Is said to be the most interesting production of tho great orator. The question of his petitioning Congress to modify the postal laws so that obscene literature and card pictures oould be circulated through the mall, as charged against him by Joseph Cook, is considered and radically repudiated. The indications are that he will have the Opera House packed to Its utmost capacity.
THB marriage of Miss Charlotte Davis and John T. Llewellyn was celebrated st the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Davis, Sundsy evening lsst, in the presence of a large gathering of their friends. Songs were sung by the whole Davis family, Prof. Leibing played, Mrs. Aydelotte recited some appropriate selections, a fine supper was served, and the happy gathering did not disperse until the midnight hour. The estimated value or the presents, which were "toe numerous to mention," was about eight hundred dollars. It wss an elegant and brilliant affair. The bride and groom left on Tuesday for Youngstnwn, Ohio, where a new and beautiful borne awaits their reception. The people of Terre Haute regret to see the Davis family dismembered, bnt if it must be done, Mr. Llewellyn's method meets their spproval.
THB Oratorio Society is certainly not meeting with encouraging success in elevating the musical taaste of our people. The gsthering at the concert on Thursday evening was the smallest audience the society has yet had. In the letter of Susan Perkins the programme is detailed and our crowded columns will not permit of further mention of a subject our people seem to take so little interest. The choruses were rendered with grand effect, aided by the organ and not overshadowed as heretofore by the orchestra. We know we show laok of culture, and it is nnmusloal to say so, but If the society desires to make its ooncerts attractive to the masses, musio1 of a lighter and more popular character must be sandwiched with the grand conceptions of the great masters. We should really like to see a great overflowing audience paying tribute to the finest musical organization this city has ever had.
TERRE HAUTE AND OHICAOO. Gazette. A. S. Dunham, passenger agent of the Chicago, Eastern Illinois & Terre Haute railroad was in the city yesterday. Ths road will open new and enlarged offices here, having a down town ticket office. It is the purpose of the new management to makes strike and a hard one for a lively traffic between Terre Haute and Chicago. Heretofore a ticket from Terre Haute to Chicago, the distance being 180 miles, has been $6.35. It 13 proposed to reduce it to a fraction under three cents a mile or to $6.35, which is cheap railroad riding. The fare to Danville has been $2.20. It will be reduced to $1.65. The time of the run be* tween here and Chicago will be materially reduced. Similar reductions will be made in freight rates, in pursuance of a vigorous policy of attracting the attention of Terre Hauteans to Chicago as a visiting place and as a market, in both which respects they claim to be unrivaled.
Don't fail to hear J. W. Riley the Hoosier Poet and Hnmorist at Dowllng Hall next Monday evening.
