HKKKIAII new wrinkle for church social*, which we give to our enterprising ladv church wookers. According to mention in the Call, it worked admirably in Peoria, the other night. It is the sale of neat and well tilled lnnch baskets, containing a lady's name and provisions for two. These baskets are auctioned ofT to the gentlemen present,each gentlemen eating lunch with the lady whose name was in the basket he bought. This novel arrangement is sure to result in many pleasant surprises, and the oddity with which some of the peoplo will le paired will certainly provoke much mirin. _____
THE new jail was examined on Wednesday, by the Grand Jury and a great number of dtisens, and turned over to the county. It is model lail in every respect.

On Thursday three prisoners—Charles Champion, John Norman and Harry Jones, were transferred from the old jail. The change was celebrated by setting at liberty a number of prisoner*, confined for petty oflenses, the jailor not caring to take tbem, in their tilth, to tho new quarters.

THE rain of the past week has not raised the river very much, but has stirred the mud sufficient to spoil the fishing in this locality.
WHAT has become of the new cemetery project Two months ago it seemed to be an established fact in the near future, but it has suddenly dropped out of sight and seems to be forgotten.
THE keno bank has ceased to operate in this city. The order by Chief Vandever to close them has been strictly enforced, and the gay gamblers now devote their leisure hours to the orderly game of draw.
THE Police Board held a meeting on Wednesday night, at which Frank Phillips was reinstated on the force. The resignation of Frank Hanish, who retires toad as private watchman, was accepted, and H. D. Smith was appointed in his stead.
THE Hon. William Hicks has returned from Brazil. The town was too small for his genius. Tho citizens "got onto" bis racket and be thought it best to return to his native health. He was spottod as soon as he returned, and his future movements will be watched with interestv
Cows have not been so numerous in the pound this week as formerly. Probably the officers do not relish the idea of wearing out shoe leather in quest of them, merely to put fees in the CSty Marshal's pocket. That worthy should try bis hand in the business himself. He has the time to spare.
ON Thursday morning two strangers entered the hardware store of M. Bolinger fc Co., on south Fourth street, and while the proprietor's back was turned, went through the money drawer, relieving it of six dollars in silver. They made good their escape, and up to date are still at large.
THERE arc a number of lewd white women who frequent Ohio street, in the vicinity of Third and Fourth streets, nearly every night at a late hour where they are joined by negroes. The practice has been going on for some time, and should be stopped. The men and women should be locked up a few times to teach them to keep off the public streets,
SOME one wants to know if the Democrats will continue Ed. Vandever as Chief of Police if they carry the city next Spring. Probably they will, as they threatened to nominate him for that position last Spring if the Republicans should refuse to do so. They know ho is an excellent officer, and, having the best intorests of the city at hoart, would doubtless retain him.
THE busy burglar continues to make his usual rounds, and still confines his operations to the Fifth ward. On Wednesday night he endeavored to go through tho resldenco of Henry Ehrenhardt, corner of Fourteenth and Main streets, but was discovered by some colored people who live near and chased away. They say they are almost certain ho was a colored man. The officers in that district do all they can to catch the perpetrator, but the territory is much too large for two men to do effective work. 1i is much easier for the burglar to watch tho police than it is for tho police to watch the burglar, and while the officers aro in one part of the district the burglar is at work a half mile away. Their capture is only a questiou of time, however, and the time is not far distant.
FRANK WADSWOHTH HUDSON breathed his last, on Wednosday morning, at his mother's residence on North Fourth street, after an illness of thirty-three days of typhoid fever, in tho twentysecond year of his age. The circumstances surroundiug bisdeath possess an un usual]nmount of saduess. A year ago the familj' group comprised ,'tho father, mother, two sons, Rifted beyond the average, and a daughter. To-day thero are left to mourn the oged mother and her daughter. Eloven months ago the happy group was broken by the death of the father, and two weeks after, Law renco the elder son, became a victim of typhoid fever, and died during the following November. The lattor's death cast a gloom over Frank from which he could not recover. Struggle against it us he would he could discern no brightness in the future for him. He tried to bury bis sorrow in hard studv, but it was no avail. In four months after his brother's death, he had acquired a sufficient knowledge of stenography to accept the position of private secretary to Preaidetit McKeen,of the Vandalia line, which he heldj at the time of bis death. He was a young man endowed by nature with more than ordinary ability and energy. He was always at his post and was faithful to every trust. A1 ways bright, he had a kind word for all with whom be came in contact. His life was one remarkable for its purity, and might be read without causing a blush to mantle the cheek of the most fastidious, He was kind, gentle, loving and confiding—such a man as would ornament any circle of society, profession or business. It ia sad to contemplate the ending of such a life at the dawning of its day, bat when (ate so decrees the efforts of man to prevent are powerless. Its relentless decrees in the case of this grief striken family are terrible. Ol eleven children but one is left to the aged mother to comfort her In her declining years, and of all her grief this last is the saddest. Battllngjfor life with the feeling that be most die, Frank met his death with a belief that the grave would in reality be a resting place for him, and be passed away with a smite upon his countenance which indicated that his hopes are realised.
A VEKT nasty provoke case was tried in a Wall street justice shop on Wednesday. The parties to it profess to be respectable East enders, bat the language used on the occasion of the alleged provoke would make the vilest In the land blush for shame. •,
THE west eud prostitutes have been making themselves obnoxious by running around on the streetsand frequenting saloons at all hours. Last evening Chief Vandevergave orders to arrest all caught doing so hereafter, and the order will be obeyed to the letter.
THE Terre Haute Target Snooting As sociation, will attend the National target shooting meeting at St. Louis on the 18th inst. They are not going with the expectation of carrying many of the honors, but expect to learn much to their advantage in future contests.

THE Vigo County Teachers' Institute, this week, under the direction of Supt J. H. Allen, has been largely attended and the teachers have been much benefitted in the interesting and instructive exercises. Capt. Allen shows eminent fitness as superintendent of our county schools.
W. A. HOUPT works at Hudnut's hominy mill. When he goes to work he changes bis clothes and did so yesterday without changing the contents of his pockets, consequently when he resumed his street dress last evening he found himself short seventeen dollars and a pocket book. Hereafter he thinks he will leave his surplus wealth at home, where it will be safe from pilfering hands and his forgetfulness.
GROUND will be broken for the new livery stable, in the lot adjoining the Gazette office, next week. It is to be a very extensive concern, and will be under the management of Wm. Ellsworth, who expects to keep from sixty to seventy head of livery horses, and board as many more. It will be a real convenience to the newspaper men, who will not have (9 walk

A COMPLAINT has been filed against a T. H. & S. E. railroad engineer, for obstructing a First-street crossing, for twenty-five minutes, yesterday afternoon. The case will be tried as soon as Mayor Lyue returns home. Tho railroad on that street has been a nuisance ever since it was laid. Thete are tio£ a half-dozen places on the entire length of the street where the track can be crossed by a horse and buggy. As streets are laid out and kept in repair for the use of citizens, it is nearly time the railroad should vacate.
A DRUNKEN loafer amused himsolf yesterday afternoon ky circulating among Main street merchants, very much to their annoyance and disgust, In a drug store he ordered a quart of whisky, for medicinal purposes, but refused to pay for it wben put up for him. When ho recovered consciousness and gathered himself from the gutter, an hour later he found the Paris train had left, and devoted his time during the remainder of the day hunting for the mule that kickod him.
