DID yon swear off, oft or awful

THIS promises to be a big year for Terre Haute.

THE "Professor," "takes the cake" —and our fifth page this week.

THE snow fall ofjWednesday morning measured 834 inches on a level.

IOB

four inches thick was cut this week from a pond near the rolliog mill.

THE burglars have made five or six demonstrations this week, with little to reward thena.

TRUK to the old couplet—"as the days begin to lengthen, the cold begins to strengthen."

YEAR before last we had 1880. We've enjoyed 1881, and we have our 1880 2. This is too, too.

AT present present prices a dozen eggs are worth more than the hen that lays tbem, particularly if she is an old one.

THE health of the city, so the doctors say, is better now than it has been at any corresponding time during the past two •r three years.

DURING the past year 595 interments were made in Woodlawn and the Catholic cemeteries—a fraction less than an Uiyerage of fifty each month. —11

IN the presence of a largo audience at the Congregational church last Sunday evening, Col. Thompson eloquently and feelingly paid a grand tribute to the memory ?f late Lutfu# Ryce, a long ti-'1 -itimaie acquaintance ling him to speak knowingly of hisdead friend.

TUB annual exhibition of the Terre Haute Poultry and Pet Stock Company will open On Weduesday of next week,on (tfto three floors of the building formerly occupied by W. II. Scudder, and continue until Thursday of the week following. A series of lectures will bo given as the exhibition progresses.

THB Savings Bank has purchased ground on the^southwest corner of Ohio and Sixth streets, seventy feet fronting on Ohio street and running back on Sixth street to the alley, on which will be erei-ted next season a fine building, the bank occupying the corner room. This will be a valuable city improvement and especially beneficial to business on that street.

(JHOHOK W. SHEWMAKBR, our exchief of police, committed suicide with morphine, at the Spencer House, Indianapolis, last Tuesday. He left this city under a cloud, but had been doing quite well of late. Last week it was discovered that he had forged the name of Oliver Johnson to a check, and it is supposed that the fear of punishment and disgrace impelled him to end his life.

TUB Evening News gave up the ghost last Saturday evening—suspended publication. Mr. Cook, the proprietor, who has sunk near |6,000 in the purchaseand expense of publication, has gone to Minneapolis. Ineflectual attempts have been made this week to levive the papor. The mortuary record uf newspapers in this city has been grf.nt. There's tho Enterprise, Labor Question. Statesman, and Kvening News. Next!

AROOMRNTS are be made to-day in the Criminal Court for anew trial in the Gibson murder case, on the grounds of exceptions to the rulings of the court, the existence of newly discovered evidence, the separation of the jury, and the fact that one of tho jurors remarked beforo tho trial: "If.they want Oibson hung they had better put me on the jtiry." Strong affidavits in support of these points have leen presented, and it is very probable that anew trial will be granted.

THE PASSING SHOW.

PLAYS AND PLATERS

Nearly two thQUsand dollars were paid by our people to see "The World,,' last week.

Amusements have not been so well patronized this week as ''some other' week—due to being the after holiday week, bad weather, and so many attractions in a lump.

Nat Goodwin tickled us immensely Tuesday evening with his "Member for Slocum." His "Hobbies'' the next night—a stormy one—had a very small audience, which shows that any people will in time tire of a good thing.

Leavitt's Oigantean Minstrels are not as "gigantean," as thef were when here in the fall, but there were some very good features, sandwiched with some otherwise, in the performance on Thursday evening.

The Hyde A Behman Muldoon Combination gave a good variety performance to a small audience last night. One of tbe best things on the programme— the singing of the jubilee quartette—was spoiled by the semi-prof$pe character of the songs.

This afternoon and eve|$ng Neil Burgess presents his inimitatj^"Widow Bedott." Says the Detroit Fflap Pfltes:

From the start, the plsy fea# been a popular success, but at" present, after months of careful study on tbe part of Mr. Burgees and George Stoddart, who presents the character of JKlder Shadrach Sniffles, it has become oq.e of the most pronounced successes on the dramatic stage, as attested by the recent very remunerative run of sixty performances in New York Citjr. Such a happy condition of things is well merited, because Mr. Burgess has succeeded In creating a new character for the dramatic stage, which crealion, while it keeps an audience in constant laughter, and always on th? for some outrageously funny speech or situation. entirety free from any disagreeable broadness, Cither in speech or action. In the charactfif Mr. Burgess absolutely sinks his identity, and shows himself to be a charactcr actor worthy of ranking with the best. Mr. Stoddart as the Elder, presents a remarkably finished piece of character acting, which serves as an admirable second to the voluble widow. Mrs. Stoddart, as Melissa B^dott, showed herself to be a clever soubrette. "Wanted

A

Carpenter," is the title of

anew play id he given here on Monday evening by the popular comedian and vocalist, Qua Williams, Supported by a splendid comedy company. The Vicksburg Herald says of its performance there:

From the rise of tho curtain on the first act, to the end of the performance a continuous ripple of laughter with occasional outbursts of applause was heard. The play, "Wanted, A Carpenter," may be safelv said to be tho best yet written for a specialty artist, Its pi6t is well conceived aua carried out, and the supporting company is one of tho boat seen hero in many a day. As Prof. Keiser, Mr. Williams has a chance to display that quiet style of acting which has given him a' national reputation. Ho possesses a fttce that is certainly a fortune you look at him and laugh until the tears roll down your cheeks, and in a moment, by a simple change of voice, the laughter is changed to genuine tears. The Professor^ umbrella is a great source of laughter-and he should really have it patented. The endings of the acts are well "worked up." Miss Dora Stuart, the leading lady, is the widow of Col.

Dreux. of Now Orleans, the first officer killed in the Confederate army. She is a capital actress.

Daisy Browne is the name of a pretty young girl who lived in the solitude of the White Mountains. Oneday *n awkward but handsome professor strayed into the woods, hunting for specimens. In a wild and tangled glen he met this quaintly interesting matoeci—Something between Undine and M'liss—and, although mathematically opposed to women on scientific gronods, he felt a little -arrow enter his soul, and the cold man of books lost his head and then his heart in the sombre forests of the mountains. The dark-haired Daisy had a very wicked father, who wished to sell her to a wicked old man for his money. The Professor became her teacher and friend, and did all he could to save her from the clutches of her naughty father. About this time her brother, who had not seen her since she was a little girl, came into the woods with party of young girls from Boston. The brother did not recognize Daisy Rrowne as his sister, consequently he too fell in love with the little wood nymph, and tbe result was that the professor of trignometry and acute angles felt very melancholy and wanted to4ie. He poured out his grief among the rocks of the wilderness, and was about going to another laod when half a deeen of the infatuated Boston girls rashed upon the professor and begged him not to leave them. They did not now that he loved Daisy with all his heart and mind—even more than he loved geometry and the wild mystery of the indefinite calculus. The girls were on tbe point of driving him to distraction, when a detective appeared and revealed tbe real name ef the girl of the mouatains. This changes everything but tbe rocks and the trees and the brook that dashes down the mountain. Tho brother of course cannot marry his own sister. Ail is now clear for the Professor. Daisy Browne nestles confidingly on his bosom and gives him her heart forever. The detective takes the wicked father off to jail. But this is not all tbe pretty Boston girls also find lovers, and there is joy all around. These are tbe dry outlines given as by an exchange of a picturesque romance which will be enacted at the Opera House next Wednesday evening. Daisy Browne, who is so happy, the handsome Professor, and all the pretty girls, with their new dresses, will repeat tbe delightful experience of their Summer adventures in tbe White Mountains. To make their efforts more impressive, a brook of real water has been' •ecurod and an experienced man engaged

to make it leap and sparkle down the mountain side just as it did when Daisy and the Professar did their courting on its mossy banks. Further particulars are given on the fifth page. -v "Fun on the Bristol" will be produced at the Opera House Friday evening. We get the information to late to make extended mention, except to say it is the funniest play of its class.

The Curtis—"Sam'l of Posen" war is ended and Frank has sold out his interest in the play to M. B. something more than a quarter of a dollar.

When Jenny Lind was once told that some persons had paid twenty-eight dollars to hear her sing, "What fools!" she said.

Forepsugh's son reaches his majority March 29, 1882, when Forepaugh pere means to present him with a fully equipped show. The Forepaughs are forehanded.

A good old Boston lady, who reads the papers, saw that there was to be a "revival" at the Globe Theater of the Black Crook. She says she don't know of any place where they need renewing in religious matters more than at those pesky theaters, and for her part she's glad to hear such good news.

The Chicago correspondent of the Dramatic Times says: "A minstrel show here will break up the business of any other attraction, and will be attended by the best people in the city. The carriages will reach all around the square and ladies and gentlemen in the boxes are in full evening dress, something wonderful for Chicago even at grand opera."

Miss Cary captured Philadelphia again Friday night of last week by appearing upon the concert stage in her traveling dress, with a plain linen collar and no ornaments, and singing with her usual sweetness. It appears that she lost her baggage, but instead of making a fuss about it, and postponing the concert, as many preformers would have done, she accepted the situation, and gave the people all the enjoyment ihey could ask for.
