THANKS to our efficient board of health the city is in a good sanitary condition! with tbe exception of a few places, and these will be looked after. A clean city means immunity from disease, and the board deserves credit for tbe prompt manner in which they have gone about tbe work

THE farmers report the yield of wheat this year not quite as large per acre as it was last year. The acreage, however, is almost twenty per cent larger than last year, and the crop will be much larger. Many farmers are confident of a raise in price and will stack their wheat and wait for a more favorable time for threshing.

THE Vigo county Teachers' Institute will assemble August 30th, in place of the 23d, as originally intended. Tbe examination of teachers has also beeu changed from August 28th to September 4th, and no examinations will take place on tbe former date. It is the intention to make this session one of tbe most important and interesting to educators of any yet held.

A BOMAWTIC marriage, minus tbe romance, was consummated in the jail this week. Tbe contracting parties were Charles Goodwin, a young man under tbe fostering care of Sheriff Hay, and Mary Alice Smith, a rural damsel. Charles Is detained on a charge of larceny. 'Squire Steinmehl tied the knot for them, after which Charles retired to bis gloomy cell and Mary to her home. No cards.

THE colored camp meeting at the fair ground, drew a large crowd last Sunday, the gate receipts amounting to something over four hundred dollars. After tbe meeting of Monday night, tbe managers decided to rest until Thursday night, when tbe meetings commenced with renewed vigor. The meeting tomorrow night will oonclude the series. Bishop Shorter, of Xenia, Ohio, and Rev. Tumor, of Jeffersonvllle, will be in attendance.

AND lo, this is tbe season of tbe year in which the wise man waxeth it badly to the foolish man. For tbe foolish man takes his savings and bletb himself off to a summer resort. He pays fifty oents lor a sandwich, and other things in proportion, and verily it maketh an exceeding great bole in his pile. But gase ye upon tbe wise man. He buyeth himself a guide book, and secludeth himself at bis country coasinto, away from tbe noise »ud din of tbe busy world, and he studyeth his guide book diligently. Aud when the leaves begin to fall, and tho cummer wanderers homeward fly, behold, the wise man returneth and is fall with knowledge of the numerous summer resorts he has visited,—In the guide book. And he lordeth It over the foolish man mucbly.

AT tbe residence of his parents, north Ninth street, last Saturday evening at nine o'clock occurred the death of Frank H. McElfrosh, aged eighteen years aud teu months. He had been siok but a little over a week, with the typhoid fever, and his unexpected death was a great shock to his numerous friends. He was a prominent member of the McKeen Cadets, who together with a detaohment of the Governor's Guards, and the workmen iu the Phcenlx foundry, attended bis funeral on Monday afternoon. The funeral services were oonducted by Rev. Henderson from tbe Frst Baptist church. Of all of Terre Haute's promising young men, Death could not havo singled out one who was more popular among his friends and companions than poor "Mack." Alasl how stern tho truth that "All that live must die,

Pluming through nature to eternity."

THE temperanoe meetings inaugu rated on last Sunday afternoon by James Dunn, have not been as successful as they deserve. Mr. Dunn is an eloquent speaker, an enthusiast la the cause of temperance, and works on tbe right principles. He does not believe that because a man drinks he is totally bad, but that kindness is the great power by which men are to be saved. He says that he has yet to see the oity the size of Terre Haute in which there is so much open shame as her gardens, open saloons snd picnics on the Sabbath day, for which invitationa are issued publicly, and the beet of beer advertised. Our temperance people should tarn out, and help Mr. Sunn in his good work. There will be a meeting in the Court Park to-morrow at 4 p. m., when Mr. Dunn will speak. Sunday evening the meeting will be held la the Seventh street church, and continue every even ing during tbe week. 'y

& ST. TAYLOR'S JOURNALS, PATTERNS, AND SYSTEM OF DRESS CUTTING.

Mis, I. M. Porter, No. 50 south Thirteen and a half street, after a thorough course of instruction, has secured tbe agency for the above, and will give you Instructions in cutting and basting. Nothing hi more important to a dressmaker than the system she wee for cutting. Her success depends upon it. The present complicated styles make this a matter of greater Importance than ever before, and by this

system,

which

Is the only truly mathematical one now In um, yon are enabled to cot any garment correctly and be assured of a perfect fit Invariably, without any alteration.

THE REASON WRY

W. H. Gieiner sells Boots and Shoes so low Is that he boys carefully, has small •xpease, and la content with small profits, preferring quick sales and light profits to alow saies and big profits.

—Take out aa accident policy with Riddle, & Oo.

QUITE little breeze was raised ia Democratic ranks on Wednesdsy by the news that R. M. Harrison bad resigned as councilman from the Sixth ward. The main thing which caused bis resignation w»s tbe action of the council Tuesday evening, whereby tbe sole oontrol of tbe fire depsrtment is taken out of the hands of tbe fire committee and given to tbe chief. Mr. Harrison takes this action aa a direct Insult to himself as be was the chairman of the fire committee, and was not present at the uieeting. No action will be taken in the matter by the council until the regular meeting, one week from next Tuesday. A special election will probably be ordered, and as Sixth ward went overwhelmingly Republican in tbe spring, anew election will insure another Republican in the council, making it stand, six Republicans, five Democrats, and one National. In view of the latter possibility, the police and firemen are greatly interes|ed in the withdrawal of Mr. Harrison.

THEBE was quite a gathering of Republican leaders in this city on Wednesday. A. G. Porter, candidate for Governor E. H. Wolfe, oandidate for Auditor of State R, B. P. Pierce, for Congress in this district, and Thomas McSheehy, for Representative in Marion county, oompoeed the party, and al though their arrival was unexpected, a pleasant entertainment was given them. They made the acquaintance of a large number of our citizens. Mr. Porter has tbe knack of making friends of everybody he meets, and received quite an ovation from the railroad boys, among whom he has numerous friends, made by bis manly action during the railroad strikes of several years ago.

MARhlAQE LICENSES. Ttie joilowiug marriage licenses have been issued since our last report:

Charles Goodman and Mary Alice Smith John Plerson ana Annie Roberts. George W. Peters and Lizzie Alger. Thomas Small and Mary Jane Allen. John Pbelan aud Mar}* Gage. Wm. D. Watson andKhodaAnn Klnser.

THK Vandalla company, since they oommenced operating their line through between Indianapolis and St. Louis, in June, 1870, have never had a passenger killed by any accident to a passBger train. For a road over which there is such heavy travel this is a remarkable record.

COMPLAINT IS made of tbe number of vicious dogs whioh abound In this oity. A number of children have been severely bitten recently, and a shotgun brig age should be organized to exterminate the pests.

—Remember!—The only perfect pro rietarv medicine as a "Blood Searcher" is that bearing the name of "Dr. Lind sey," and wnich may be bad from druggists.

Sewiag Machine Injunction. The Supreme Court of Cincinnati yesterday rendered a decision to tbe effect that the word "Singer" is tbe tradename of the Slpger Manufacturing Co., and that no other manufacturer has the right to call his maohines Singer, or to imitate the Singer in form and general appearance. This is important news to those intending to buy, as it is obvious that tbe purchasers of any of the bogus or imitation Singer machines would be liable to prosecution or the payment of royalty.
