A COMPARISON of the amounts returned by the various banks on deposit, with the amounts returned by the citlBens as money on deposit, for the purpose of taxation, will prove interesting.

There must be a great many taxpayers in the township who are cursed with poor memories, or who do not hesitate to swear falsely when waited upon by the Assessor. It Is a«pity there is no means of making banker* hand in to the Board of Equalization a list of their depositors when required to do so.

A CARELESS tinner was sent down in the South end to make some repairs on a dwelling, and it was not until the bill, amounting to about a hundred dollars, bad been presented that it was discovered the work bad been done on the wrong bouse. It is evident that some one will be out of pocket the amount.

THE County Board of Equalization is hard at work. The experts have overhauled the estate records of the Circuit Court in a very thorough manner, and have had a rich harvest. It is claimed that there is one estate alone that owes back taxes amounting to $12,000. When the work is completed the county revenue will be largely increased or the tax levy will be materially reduced.

THE storm pf last Sunday eveningdid considerable damage to the fruit and grain, east of the city. It waa confined to a narrow strip about three miles in width. Much of the young fruit was knocked from the trees, and the wheat was beaten down. A house on Thirteenth street was slightly damaged by lightning, but none of the inmates were hurt. Quite a number of shade trees in the city were also blown down.

DELINQUENTS on the city duplicates are to be looked after in a more efficient manner than formerly. Heretofore it has been the custom to divide the receipts alphabetically among the collect ors. Now they have all been arranged In wards and streets, and will be so distributed, thereby enabling the collector to have his men altogether, Instead of having to hunt them up all oyer the elty.

A MAN put In an appearance at police headquarters last evening and demanded that Chief Vandever arrest a couple who, he alleges, are living in open and notorious adultery on aortb Sixth street. He did not insist upon the arrest so much o'. r.nrv.i» bipon tho feet that about a year ago ho was arrested for the same offense and compelled to marry the woman. He thought all should fare alike iu such matters. The arrest was not made, and the complainant was respectfully referred to the Grand Jury, which meets the first Monday of each month.

1 HE fight over the nomination of Circuit Judge in this circuit is becoming very warm in the Democratic ranks. Sidney B. Davis and Judge Shelton lead the opposing clans, and each is confident of success, but as only one can be nominated,certainly one will be disappointed.

THE wheat is in excellent condition in this county, and if the weather permits, the harvest will be commenced on Monday next. One small field north of the city was cut yesterday.

THE sudden and intense heat of the past few days has had a depressing effect on the iron workeas. The heaters and puddlers in some instances have been compelled to make fewer runs.

THE Grand Jury after an investigation of the charge against Eugene Hess failed to find ground for an indictment, and he has been discharged from custody. His many friends are greatly rejoiced at this result.

THIS morning as George Couch, and two others were driving up Seventh street, their wagon was struck by the switch engine of the I. A St. L. road,and Couch was thrown out with such force as to dislocate his shoulder. The wagon was badly broken. He says the engine bell was not ringing, and that the engine slipped out from behind some| freight cars. It was a narrow escape from a serious accident.

LAST evening a eouple of men named Scott and Jones engaged in an altercation on Fourth 9treet immediately south of Ohio. Jones used up his dinner, bucket on Scott's head, and when the police arrived on the scene of action, Scott was in a very demoralized condition, his head being badly twittered. Jones was placed in jail by efflcer Gott, and when be cools off this afternoon will be given an opportunity to explain.

TIIK V5r^ IVfn CVittp»ny is teirinp down one of its furnaces in tho southeastern portion of the city, preparing to remove it to some point South. The new location has not yet been decided upon, but It is pretty certain that it will be in Alabama. A. J. Crawford leaves In adayor two for theSouth on business connected with the removal. The furnace now in operation Is making three runs, each of about ten tons, every twenty-four hours.

ON Wednesday evening, Patrolman Benight was excused from [duty because he asked it on account of the sickness of his child. The same night he was reported in an inebriated condition. On Thursday he failed to report at all, and went on a fishing excursion with the Gallatin gang. Failing to return yesterday, Chief Vandever prepared charges against him, and last evening the police board heard some of the evidence and suspended him until his return, when a trial will take place. Thomas Cottam was placed on duty until the case is decided.

XHE butchers, Board of Health and Sanitary Committee held another meeting on Thursday evening to consider the matter of building a central slaughter house, and the appointment of a competent meat-inspector for the city. About twenty butchers were present. After talking the matter over, a committee of three was appointed to petition the Council to appoint a meat-inspector for the city who is a butcher and who understands the business in every branch also to establish a license for the regular butchers. The central slaughter house scheme was debated, but no conclusion was reached. It is gaining ground, however, and one butcher who was strongly opposed to it a week ago, now enthusiastically favors it, and wants to take $1,000 stock in it.

YESTERDAY afternoon officers Loveland and Clarke arrested a man named Meyer, at Pike's Peak, on South' First street, on a charge of burglary. Some time yesterday the htiux- i,f Dick Terhune, oa Moffat street, was entered and robbed of five dollars in money, and jewelry valued at fifteen dollars. Meyer was suspected, and when arrested the missing jewelry was found on his person, and he was locked up. He is the same man who was arrested some time ago for breaking into RodePs grocery, but who escaped on the ground of insanity. He was sent to the Insane Ays* lum at Indianapolis, and was returned with the assurance that he was not insane. He is playing the samegame again, and asserts that be will be released "as soon as father comes home." His house, on South Third street was searched last evening, but nothing further was found.

OBITUARY.

Henry A. Ferguson died on Tuesday, June 23? h, after along and painful illness, which was marked by the endurance of a brave man and the serenity of a faithful christian. Mr. Ferguson was one of that superior class of citizens drawn to our city on the establishment of the Nail Works.

He had served in the 76th Pennsylvania "Volunteers during the first three months of the war, and re-enlisted for three years. He was wounded at Antietam and Cold Harbor. Always a man of high principle, and consistently religious, his steadiness of character was as marked during the peculiar trials of a soldier's life as it has been during the years he was known here. Although the quiet, even tenor of a laborious life was not such as to be conspicuous, it appeared at his death that bis manliness and sobriety, fidelity and honesty, had made an enduring impression and secured the lasting esteem and affectionate remembrance of a far-reaching circle. The sincere and earnest tribute of his pastor, the gathering of the members of the Orders to which he belonged, the attendance of tho veterans of the war, of his fellow-workmen and brethren in the church, aud of acquaintances near and remote, unite to speak eloquently of the worth of his modest and conscientious life. His life had shown no cowardice, as he was very frank in maintaining what he believed to be right, or in condemning what he thought was evil and the many days he lay dying betrayed no faltering, nor dread of the future. The music he had loved before was his comfort then. The prayers he had believed in before were still his strength. As ever, death was most bitter to those who were bereaved. The racked body sleeps well—the christian soul has sweet peace. The widow and orphan are left to his God—to the tender remembrance of his friends.

A DEAD horse on the corner of Thirteenth and College streets has been causing an unusual commotion in that locality for several days past. It appears that the animal was deposited on the street by its owner on Wednesday, aud the following morning the dead animal man was notified to remove it, but failed to do so on account of the stench. On Thursday afternoon while a couple of young ladies were driviug past their horse became frightened and ran away, throwing both from the buggy and demolishing that vehicle completely. Fortunately the occupants escaped without injury. Yesterday the dead animal man was again notified to remove the body, but Instead of doing so procured some men to dig a pit and bury it on the street. After working &oout thiee .is, tha it. .: ore .!.ven off by the&iench, and ax a late hour the carcass still had full possession of the field. In the meantime the air in that neighborhood is polluted with the filth, and the residents are compelled to bear it, There is a fine of $5 by each case neglected by those who have the contract, and as a damage suit is threatened by the owner of the demolished buggy, it may prove the most costly dead horse o! modern times.

WE invite attention to the advertisement of the Indiana Accident Association, the company recently organized in this city. Although in operation only ten days, it ha* already issued about one hundred policies. Tho company Is composed of our best citizens, who will deal squarely with all who take this method to guard against loss by accident. The names of the officers are attached to the advertisement referred to, and we suggest that they be consulted by all interested.

IJOCD complaints are continually heard of the failures of the garbage man to carry out his part of £be contract with the city. He doesn't seem to be aware of the fact that for each case of neglect he is liable to forfeit to the city fifty dollars, and it may be to the advantage of the city that he should know that such forfeiture will be taken on the firet opportunity.

IN passing down Main street, don't neglect to take a look into the window of Stein A Heckleaburg's. One glance will convince you that they keep a line of fine boots, shoes and slippers not surpassed in Terre Haute. It is their intention to keep the goods to suit all classes. The farmers well know what an elegant line of heavy goods they have, and how cheap they sell. Remember the place is at 421 Main street.

THAT instantaneous photography introduced at John M. Adams gallery is a great blessing to nervous people, those who cannot sit still. Quick as a wink, almost, is your picture taken by this process. Look at the fine specimens at the foot of the stairway 417£ Main street, and then go up and give them an order for a half dozen.
