THE street railway will be immediately extended to the fair grounds if the county commissioners grant the request of W. B. Tuell for right of way along the south side of the National road.

THH position of city councilmen is one not to desired by an active busiuesH man—one to whom "time is money." Andy Crawford says he wouldn't serve another two years for |2,500.

MIIH. HKMSLBY SIMMONH, a lady well known and greatly loved for her manpr virtues and excellent qualities, died at her home near Mt. Pleasant church, last Saturday morning, of congestion of the, lungs. "OAK BLUFFS" has been selected as the name of the new cemetery. It will be locatod somewhere on the bluffs east of the city, and the purpose is to add art to nature in making it a beautiful and permanent home of our dead.

THE city election campaign is warming up—in the Express aud Gazette. The people, the voters, are quite cool— somewhat indifferent over the matter. Both parties have excellent men as candidates—much better, as a whole, than have heretofore been put forward.

TUB victim of tho soap vat horror has not yet been identified, nor has it been ascertained how he came to meet such a terrible death. It is said the German tramp is at the poor asylum, and .Joseph Test, tho missing Vandalia employe has turnod up at St. Louis.

THE oxperinient of holdiug all the •Sunday Schools in the afternoon has proved failure aud several have changod back to the morning hours. Tho cJiildren don't like to go to school on a bright Spring or Summer after'nooii—especially if there is a horse in the stable to take thorn to the woods.

KOSEPALK, twelve or fourteen milos north of this city is terribly alUioted with small-pox. Twelve oases have

already

doveloped, and so many have been ex-j posed Itofore the disease was known, that groat alarm is felt. The village has boon quarantined to prevent the spread of the disease, and nurses sent from Kockvllle to care for tho afflicted people. Two deaths have already occurred.

WALTHR A. YATES, the eldest son of the late Joseph 0. Yates, died at his mother's residence, south Seventh street, Monday evening, after along and heroic struggle with consumption. He was nearly twenty-eight years of age, and until disease claimed him as a victim gave promise of beingone of oui best business men. Of all our young men, not one was

more

popular than Wallie Yates.

This was testified by the large attendance of his late companions at his funeral. And recently they raised a pure© of throe hundred dollars for him to seek health in wine other climate. But the contribution came to late.

THE elocutionary contest of Mrs. Aydelotte's pupils Monday evening was a big and gratifying success. Dowling Hall was filled full—# pleasant surprise and proper tribute to the talented instructress. So many took part that we cannot mention all. And all did so well that it would be unjust to single out those thoMght most deserving. The prise medal* were awarded Edna Jones, Jessie Seath, Liuie Van Sant and Eddie Taeneer. A conteet by an advanced las* will shortly be had. Mrs. Aydeloti's exhibitions promised to rival those of the high school graduating classes.

—The great sale of .*» cent she«*t music still continues at Ot**rs* •*ic Storo.

THE Express newspaper was sold this week to George M. Allen, paymaster in the

V. 8. Navy, and Harry G. Thompson, son of Col. R. W. Thompson, who take charge on Monday. Both are native-born Terre Hanteans, and though inexperienced in the newspaper business, will go to work to learn it in the shortest possible time. They have secured as managing editor, Samuel Butler, for merly of the Indianapolis papers, and more recently doing editorial work on the Washington Capital. It is the intention of the new management to immediately overhaul the machinery, put on a new dress of type, and make a first-class newspaper. They have The Mail's best wishes- for the fullest success their brightest fancies may anticipate.

A PAPER has been circulated among "the faithful," the past week, and about |3,000 subscribed, to establish—no "start" is a better word—a new daily paper, to advocate the straightest sort of Democratic principles. It is part of the plan to buy the Ledger and make it the weekly attachment. The intention was to make it an evening issue, and make it warm for the Gazette, but it is uncertain about getting the dispatches of the Na tional Press Association. The night report can be had, and, failing to get the day report, it is contemplated to make it a morning daily.

Iy telling of the sale of the Daily Express, the Gazette mentions some offers that Mr. McKeen never heard of. That from the proprietor of this paper we know is one. Although solicited to purchase we have not cared to give the price asked for it. Besides, The Mail is now, and has been for ten years, the best paying newspaper property in this eity. We could not look after another paper without sacrificing, in a great measure, the interests of this.

Perhaps, one of these days, iu the sweet bye and bye, when there is a demaud for another daily paper, a Morning Mail may appear. If the new management make the Express the paper it should be, there is no opening here for another morning paper. We believe that they will fill the bill, and occupy the field. If they do not there will be an opportunity for the Morning Mail. Until that question is. solved we shall aim to give our patrons the best weekly paper in the Wabash Valley.

PINAFORE was played last night, aud so well played that even those who had heard It half a dozen or more times, heartily enjoyed its charming music, broad satire and amusiug by-play. At the time of this writing we are unable to say many words, but had we time and space they would be words of very high praise for the performance as a whole— for Miss Hellen Jeffers who was a surprise as "Josephine"—for the cuteness of Ma/ McEwan's "Buttercup,"—the immense make up and comical cuttings-up of tho "Aunt" by Miss Alice Fisher— the charming "Hebe" of her sister Hate, the artistic rendering of Ralph Rackstraw by Wallie Austin, the good per sonation of the Captain by James Crane, of Paris, the properly hideous "Dick Deadeve by Howard McCord, of the samo city, the elegant character of "Sir Joseph Porter" by Joe Davis, and soou through the list—all good—not forget ting the excellent leader W. W. Byers, Frank Danaldson's prompt stage management. the instrumentation of the Ringgold orchestra with Pros. Sterrett at the piano—all of such excellence as to emphasize the statement that Terre Haute has more amateur talent to the square inch than any city in the country.

CHAiti.KS

E. HOSPORD, as mentioned

last week, has returned from the far West to his home in this city, after a years absence. To a Gazette reporter he stated this week that his business had become involved, and after an unsuccessful effort to pull through all right he had done what he considered the only thing to do—made an assignment of his offects for the benefit of his creditors. Some parties, he said, had been disposed to charge him with fraud, but he had been ready at all times to meet such charges, and could not In view of his business standing here afford to evade them much less was he disposed to. He was not, however, willing to suffer the moral disadvantage of being "bagged" and brought back. He preferred to come of his own free will, and is now here and ready to answer any charges. Mr. Ho»ford willj be here for some weeks, but will probably return to the West during the early Summer.

THH department of penmanship in Isbell A Miller's Terre Haute Commercial College is conducted in a way to develop good Writing in the least possible time. Prof. Miller has stood in the front rank as an educator in this important and much-neglected branch. He has been a noted penman as well as a teacher of penmanship for ma ay years, and has met with unbounded suocees in developing in others the same superior ability.

THE PASSING SHOW.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS

Jay Rial's Uncle Tom played Tuesday and Wednesday evening to andiencea so nm«ll as to testify that we have had enough of that great moral drama for one season—and that we know when we have had enough.

Coup's Show exhibited here on Thursday to two large audiences. Take it for all in all it was a good show and came as near giving what was advertised as the public expected. The

Burnard's new comedy, "The Colonel" which is to be presented for the first time here at the Opera House, Tuesday evening, is a satire on the Aesthetic craze, and is said to be one of the most cleverly written dramas before the public. Its success in Eastern cities, particularly in Boston, was remarkable. Says the Macon, Ga. Telegraph:

The comedy of the "Colonel," as presented last night Dy Eric Bayley's com-

eina

anv, was one of the neatest, eleverest performances ever brought South. The comedy is a broad, dazzling satire on the prevailing aesthetic craze, every line a glistening point and every act a gem of fine acting within itself. Each member is an artist, fully up in their respective roles, playing as if created for them, and in the entirety a rendition pleasing, both as to acting and text. The too utterly intensity of Olive, whose limp waspimpness itself, first won the audience, and the others, equally as neat and clever, kept up their end of the line, and by a narmonious pull all together brought out the comeay for all ft was worth. Indeed we can sum up what we would like to tell in a column—for they deserve all praise—in a sentence: it was the finest performance ever given in Macon. "Hazel Kirke" will be played at the Opera House, next Friday evening, by the original Hazel Kirke Company, No, 1. It closes along engagement at Niblo's, New York, to-night, and, with only four intervening stops, comes to this city. It is a remarkably strong company, including in the cast such favorites as Misses Efiie Ellsler and Ada Gilman, Mrs. E. L. Davenport, Kate Denln Wilson, C. W. Couldock, Frank Weston, Henry Lee and others. Manager Smith seems to be reserving the best attractions for the last, and the present season promises to go out iu ablaze of glory.

Charlotte Thompson's dramatic company will play next Saturday afternoon and evening.

Between the acts of "The Maseotte,"in Richmond, by McCaull's opera company, the stage manager said to the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, I must claim your indulgence for Mr. Standish, who plays Pi ppo to-night. The gentle man who was billed for tho part has unfortunately fallen a victim to Virginia hospitality."

A Philadelphia paper speaks of an actress who has made a hit in Uncle Tom's Cabin., The paper does not say what she was hit with—whether it was a tomato can or a barrel. But it does not made any difference it shows that the society organized for the suppression of Uncle Tom's Cabin nuisances has begun to get in its work. Already it has got so that other actors will not recognize people who play the old play as belonging to the profession.

business is in questionable taste, but is without doubt a drawing card. The free baloon ascensions set for five o'clock In the evening is an admirable contrivance for keeping the people ou the ground and extracting the last dime with the seductive side shows, concerts, candy and lemonade stands.

To-night the popular comedian Harry Webber will appear in his famous comedy of "Nip and Tuck"—full of uproarous fun from first to last—one of the moet popular pieces of its class now on the stage. It is just the thing for a Saturday night performance, and will no doubt have a large hearing this evening.

EPILEPSY\ OR FITS, CURED. Boy of Fred Delinger, fourteen years old, was brought to me. at Vincennes, lad. He had nad Fits since he was six months old. He would fall down anywhere, never knowing when the spells were coming on. These are the hardest to cure. I told Mr. Delinger I would not promise a cure under three years. This was June 18,1879. The boy had only three spells after I began treating him, and none for two years. I will dismiss him June 13.1882. Mr. Delinger'sP. O. address is Vincennes, Ind.
