THB docket of the present term «f the Circuit Court has thirty-four divorce cases—sixty-eight hearts that have ceased to beat as thirty-four.
THE Fair and Festival of the Occidental Literary Club will be one of the big features next week—Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings at Dowling Hall.
THAT livery stable on the corner of Fifth and Ohio streets is still a thing of the future, and seems to be receding into the future more and more each day. The parties who own the ground refuse to lease or sell it for that purpose.
IT is now thought that General Grant will attend the soldiers reunion here. Col. Thompson baa been delegated to deliver in person a letter signed by a number of leading citizens, and President McKeen has tendered him the use of asnecial car.
IT was difficult to find the preached in this goodly city last Sunday —the Congregational, Centenary, Bap? tist and Christian churches befng closed, and the Presbyterian audience treated to a lecture on the religious and educational condition of the far northwest.
FORREST KENDALL, son of J. R. Kendall of the Vandalia, met with a serious accident Saturday afternoon. He was at Logansport, ar.d iu attempting to get ou a moving train slipped and one foot was crushed under the wheels. On b&ing brought home, amputation was found necessary. This was done at the instep, leaving the heel, so that be will be able to walk with an artificial foot.
THE railroad companies are very much annoyed by car breakers, who go through loaded cars which are leftstanding on the track over night. Although they make every effort to catch the depredators, the police, thus far have beeu unsuccessful. The iutense darkness, these nights, greatly assist* the thieves and balHles the officers. If the railroad companies would open their hearts and keep their yards lighted at night they would gain r..uch by it, and the police would soon put a stop to the prowlers.
TIIE police force is to have a patrol wagon. Thore has been some talk of using tho city wagon for that purpose, but it would le out of tho question. With an unruly offender it would require several men to keep him within the bounds of an opon wagon. With a* wagon made for the purpose, ho could be thrown in, lacked up and driven to headquarters by oue man, where he could have assistance to put him in a coll, thus leaving this officer who made the arrest, still at his post. It is thought one similar to that in use in Indianapolis will be purchased.
HE
is a merchant policeman, and for a long time has been very lonely as he paraded the streets during the loug nights without a companion. With that compassionate feeling which all hotol clerks possess for their follow man, A1 Grimes, of tho Terre Haute House, presented him with a white bulldog which had strayed Into the o®co one evening with the determination of making it its headquarters. Officer and dog became at onco tfast aud inseparable friends. Thisoontinued until several days after a lost notioe appeared iu the paper describing that identical dog and offering ton dollars for its return to 929 north Ninth street. Hastily swallowing his breakfast,our officer gathered the animal In his arms and hurried away with the determination of gathering in that roward, but, search diligently as he would, he failed to find the number. He soon tumbled to tho racket that the hdtel clerk and reporter had played on him, and retraced his steps down town again, only however, to be met at tho intersection of Main and Ninth streets by the owner of thedog, who ut once proceeded to relieve him of his charge, which was surrendered with the utmost reluctance. The officer in question has fully determined to take no more stock in white bull dogs, or advertisements for the recovery of the same, and hereafter will give hotel clerks and reporters a wide berth—when he sees them tint. It is now In order for each merchant policeman to write a card denying that he is the man.
ISBRLL A MILI.HR are highly gratified with the large attendance this week at the Torre Haute Commercial Collegemuch larger than they expected. It Is a pleasure to us to make a note of this, for they are deserving of the largest success.

Tennyson can take a worthless sheet of papor and by writing's poem op it, make it worth |500. That's genius. Mr. Vanderbilt can write fewer words on a smaller sheet, aud make It worth $50,000,000. That's capital. The United States government can take an ounce of gold and stamp upon it twenty dollars. That's money. The mechanic can take the material worth $10 and make it into a watoh worth 100. That's skill. The merchant can take an article worth eighty-five cents, and sell 4t to you for $1.00. That's business. The coal miner works ten hours a day and digs out three or four tons of coal for $2.00. That's labor. You can go to Foster's Dry Goods and Carpet house and buy as many and as good goods for $1.00, as you can get elsewhere for $1.25. That's economy. Practice It and be happy.
