Hie annual encampment of the State Department of the Grand Army of the Republic, in this city, on Wednesday was made the occasion of interesting exercises, in which the old soldiers fought over their battles and retold incidents and adventures never to be effaced from memory until the eyes of the last war veteran are dosed in death.

Delegates were here from fifteen Posts. Most of them arrived on the ten o'clock train from the east, and were escorted to Armory Hall by the Hager Veterans, Light Guards and McKeen Cadets led by the Drum Corps. Dr. Mitchell acted as Chairman, and addresses of welcome were made by Mayor Havens and Col W. E. McLean, to which a response was made by Col. ©arnahan, of Indianapolis.

The State Deplrtmeht held business sessions during the day at G. A. R. headquarters, and the following were elected officers for the ensuing year.

Department Commander, Col. W. W. Dudley, of Indianapolis. Senior Vice Commander, Dr. T. Worden, of Greensburg.

Junior Vice Commander, Harmon L. Mi Her, of Terre Ha ute. Wm. E. McLean was selected as Delegate to the National Encampment.

At night, at the Opera House, Hon. Schuyler Colfax, in the presence of a large audience, delivered his eloquent tribute to "Abraham Lincoln," after which members of the order and invited guests repaired to Dowling Hall, where Will White had spread a magniMoent banquet on two tables extending the entire length of the hall. After full justice had been done the good things set forth, toasts were announced hy the Chairman, Capt. John B. Hager, and responses made by Gen. Swain, of Chicago, Ared F. White, of Rockville, Mrs. W. W. Byers, this city, Hon. James T. Johnson, Rockville, Gen. Cruft, Mrs. W. H. Manning and CoL Carnahan. Altogether it was an occasion greatly en joyed by our citizen soldiery and citizens generally. May the day never come when the latter will fail to duly honor the former.

THE friends of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Abbott gave them a delightful surprise, on last Tuesday evening, theannlveraary of their marriage, and presented them a handsome china tea set, with the stereotyped, but very happy wish of many returns. Over sixty persons sat down to a very nice and bountiful supper, and the evening passed off delightfully to all present. These expressions of good feeling between friends are doubly pleasant —both recipients and donors sharing the pleasure alike. They pat warmth into the heart, and relieve, for one evening at least, the monotony of every-day life.

E. D. HARVSY has good cause tat the pride he takes In showing his stock Of Furniture, the most extensive and elegant ever brought to this city, and filling his commodious rooms so that visitors can scarcely turn around. He sold, this week, to Mr. A J. Crawford, a f600 sot of parlor furniture, the finest ever brought here by a Terre Haute dealer. Mr. Harvey's enterprise deserves encouragement. He is determined that our people shall have no cause for going away from this dty for furniture, either on account of quality or prices. 1

SHRYKR BROS, are now in the midst of removing their entire wholesale house to the new and extensive rooms recently fitted up for their wholesale business. Their building is twenty-five feet wide by one hundred and sixty-one deep, with five floors including celler.

Their new numbers will be Nos. 9, 11 and 13, south Fifth street, next room sonth of the National State Bauk. Their Main street entrance remains as before.
