THE MAIL!

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

HOME.

The Mail is now located in iU own building, Nos. 18 an 20 South Fifth street, one dooraouth of the Express and directly opposite the Gazette. The German Banner, acroaa the street from the Xxpres, fills the remaining corner of what ia now rightly named "Printing Hooae Square." The Mall will be found "at home" on tho first, or ground floor, which ia divided into a commodious business office, an editorial room, a library, and a composing room. The latter is in the£ear,and well lighted and adapted for typ" Matting.

Thi* is the first building erected in this fj city especially for a newspaper printing establishment, and it is admirably adapted for the purpose. It is built with a view of the Mail's growing business, and within its walls, enclosing two stork* and a high basement, there is ample room for steam and presses for a daily and weekly paper, a job printing office and a bindery, without au inch of waste space.

It is so well built that the builders are worthy of mention. J. W. Miller did the brick work Clift, Williams A Co. the wood work Ira C. Hinith the plastering J. T. Meore put on the tin roof, and the (Minting was under the direction of J. W. Robert*. This Ut a strong com bin atlon of builders, and wocommend theiu to all wanting good, honest work.

Another item in the "goodness" of Tho Mall's building is that the foundation is laid with consecrated brick, from the old Presbyterian church, to which may bo added the Item of cathedral glass in the transoms over the front doors and windows—a new feature in house building here.

The Mall is now so easy of access that we extend a cordial invitation to our friends to call at any and all times. We shall take especial pleasure, with the as-•istanee-crf The Mall's corps of printers, in showing visitors bow a paper is put in type—rather, how each separate letter is pot in place for printing The Mall.

In.thla connection we especially Invite business men snd advertisers tocsll on any Thursday evening to aee the putting up of The Mail's flnut, or country ediUon, and again on Saturday afternoon, aa early as half past two o'clock, when from 250 to 300 of The Mall's little •ewsboy* begin carrying out great arm loads of Mails to every part of the city and the far beyond suburbs. These two visits will afford an idea of The Mali'a immense circulation, and show advertisers that they are getting the worth of th^i money.

There are a few finishing touches to be given the internal arrangement of the Mall building. As soon as we settled irvour new quarters wo will turn our attention more particularly to The Majl. We have in contemplation some features that will make the paper a still greater favorite and add largely to its circulation.

ON the sixth page will be found an interesting sketch of early daya in Torre Haute, from the graphic pen of the venerable Dr. J. W. Hitchcock, one of the pioneer residents of this city. To our older people It will be «m interesting reminder of old times, and the younger readers will also find it of interest, as showing tho contrast in the situation hero l»©tween those days and the present time.

ONK 8. M. Miller, on several occasions made an indcvnt exhibition of his person snd of hi* degrsdwi character, by intuiting young girls. He was arrested at IntiiHunpolls, brought here bv Chief V«i «ierver, and Mayor Lyne sentenced him to a tine of |I5 and costs, together with twenty days imprisonment in the H»unt jail.

HH stone street crossings are of the service In muddy times, and then they are burled from one to several inciu* underneath the liquid earth. At a vwy small expense they could be kept elcsn and pedeatrtana go over dry shod.

THK Thompson Cadets have changed the title of their company to the Thompson Zouaves. J. A. Anderson Is captain, rharlf* M. Gil more first lieutenant, snd Wm. Richards second lioufaTAnt.

IT has been tound by experiment that a crevice under a door lar&e enough to push a nickle through will let enough ^r into a nwm to require 400 extra pounds of coal per month.

THR Kxpress makes the sensible suggention that the several bloody hatchets to 4t» party be buried, patting it in this way: "The wake ia about nver, suppose we «w out the candles.

DEATHS.

Death baa brought sorrow to many a heart in this community the past week. First came the sad news on Sunday morning of the death tbe morning before, at her home in Newtonville, Mass., of Mrs. Frances Gates Howe, wife of Rev. E. Frank Howe. Although not a1 resident here for several years, she was remembered and loved and respected for those qualities which go to form tbe character of a woman ever welcome in tbe social circle, and always ready for any good Christian work. Hers was a perfect home, and only those who knew the well ordered family can appreciate Mr. Howe's great loss. To biin she was a wise counsellor, a help in trouble and an aid in the work to which he has dedicated bis life. Her disease was a malignant tumor of tbe liver, first made manifest the latter part of August. Mr. Howe's family consists of four children —two boys and two girls.

Mrs. Sarah C. label), wife of Prof. W. C. Isoell, and eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Garvin,died on Sunday evening at 11 o'clock, at the early age of 23 years, ana only three and a half short years a bride. She wa*. born in Sullivan county on the 20ih of April, 1800, and united with the Presbyterian church at the age of sixteen. Of gentle and retiring disposition, she won the love of all who/ormed ber acquaintance The husband _who idolized ber, tbe father, mother and sister by whoin she was so greatly loved have the sincere sympathy of the community in this hour of sad affliction.

Miss Mary Kaufman, the only daughter of Mrs. Catharine Kaufman, and sister of Peter, Andrew, and William Kaufman, died Monday evening, of typhoid fever. Just on the threshold of womanhood, with bright and happy surroundings, it is inexpressibly sad that one of such buoyant spirits, ever in the lead in social gatherings, should he stricken by death. It is stated that about a week before her death, when perfectly conscious, she said to her mother, "I am not going to stay here much longer. I am going to leave you alone with my brotbors, and aui going to papa. I oan see him waiting for me. He ha» been alone so long that I can not bear to see him alone any longer."

Tbe happy household of William S. Rea, of Bement, Kea & Co., was darkened on Sunday morning by the death of their bright little daughter Carrie, two and a half years of age. Oaly those who have learned by sad experience can tell what a terrible thing is the death of a little child of such an age, just beginning to entwine the heart-strings, but-n large circle sympathise with the parents in tills time of trouble.

THTK newspapers in Printing' House Square are putting on no end of style. The Mail, we bolieve, was first to put on its oditorial room a Brussels carpet. That was. ten years agb. Recently the Gazette moved its business and editorial rooms down stairs and furnished the same elegantly. Tbe Mail is just getting settled in its new building, a model for convenience and elogsnce. Tbe spirit has caught the Express, and that building is undergoing a transformation for the better. Tbe Gazette folks say they are wailing uutil tbe Express and Mail get through and then they propose to eclipse both. One of the improvements named by tho senior editor is the laying of Fifth street at Printing house square with the most costl imported tile. If he should fail in this (as he may), we suggest that the city council favor this locality with a stone crossing which is very much needed.

A NBW weekly paper is being hatched for the purpose, so it is said,of "crushing the Gazette. Tho old material of the Saturday Night will be used. Edwin Seidomridge is to edit It. It is to le called "The Democrat," and the Orst issue will be made some time next week.

A XKW feature IS thetbeopening here, to-day. of what is termed "Mis-fit Clothing Parlors." a collection of clothing made to order, but not taken by the person so orderiug, snd hence sold at a great reduction. A large advertisement on the last page fully explains this new enterprise.

TH* Criminal Coert of this county rcasrtn to exist next Monday. Tbe CirCourt, Judge. Buff, will attend to the criminal business, the same as before tbe organisation of the Criminal Court.

i' HE WAS MAD.

We refer to A. Herz, of the "Popular Bazar. That is,as mad as so good natured a man can get. The cause w*s this: Last Saturday be sent to Tbe til office copy for an advertisement wbici should have read, as he wrote it, in this way

BADLY MISTAKES.

The bouse that thinks that

Kind

a matter

of course people have to and will come tc them when tbey want a Seal Skin Sacque, Cloak, Doll man Circular, Plush garment, Shawl, etc., are badly mistaken. We do not think people have to come to us, but some how or another, people are

enough to come

and

buy

of us, for they find our goods just as nice and our prices lower, than

high

toned houses, who think people oiust come to them. HKRZ POPULAR BAZAR.

By one of those mistakes which will occur in the best regulated printing offices, when there is an avalanche of advertisements at tbe half past eleventh hour, and some have to be dumped into the type forms without proof reading, the word "goods" in tbe fifth line from the bottom was printed "girls." Now no one will question that as it was printed the statement is true, for Herz has a mighty nice lot of girls to wait on bis patrons, but that was not what he intended to say, and we are free to admit that he had reason for being madder than he was.

SONS OF AMERICA.

A *camp of the Patriotic Sons of America was organized in this city on tbe 22d of February last, and has now a membership of forty. The meetings are held in G. A. R. hall over the new Savings Bank. By request we print below the preamble setting forth the objects of the order:

Whereas, the experience of all ages and all countries distinctly showeth, that popular liberty—born amid the din'of battle, baptized in patriot blood, and rocked by the rude storms of civil strife —demands for her preservation agHinst "the rage of {arty spirit, tbe wiles of ambition, and the steru arm of power" tbe undivided love of all her votaries, and the firm determination of all her friends, in an eternal struggle with ber foes.j

And, Whereas, thehistory of tho world most plainly proves, that it is the business of one generation to 36w tbe seed, of which another reaps the harvest—be it of grain or tares—of good or evil.

Now, therefore, we the undersigned Sons of America—children of her soil, reared beneath the shadow of her flag, loving her as none others can love knowing her as noue others can know, and having an interest in her future welfare, nearer, truer, deeper than all mankind beside, do hereby associate ourselves in the knowledge and encouraging each other in tne practice of our rights and duties as citizeus of a country in which we are called to exercise among our fellow men the inmmon rights of sovereignty. In which act of association, wo severally pledge ourselves to tbe observance and support of tbe laws of the land, and regulations of this body, MS becomes the sons of freemen, willing to submit to the restraiutof social order, and acknowledging no other bonds but those of duty to our God, our country and ourselves. And for the futherance of these our objects, we agree to be governed by tbe Constitution and Laws hereunto appended.

AN audience that filled the bouse to overflowing, gathered at the Christian church Thursday evening. The occasion was a concert in aid of the organ fund. It was a gen uifie success, and the people were delighted. How could it be otherwise when tho Davis family, Misses Flora Keller, Maud Carr, May McEwan, Nellie and Annie Thomas, ^fatliilda Taenzer, Mrs. Anna L. Gould, Mrs. H. O. Breeden, Messrs Geo. F. Hughes. Wm. Freeman, and Prof. Keuclienmeistcr, united In a choice programme of vocal and instrumental music, under the direction of Prof. Herman Leibing? Wo repeat, how could it be otherwise than successful and pleasing?

OK AND MILITARY CONCERT. The German Infantry Military Baud, thirty-five In number, from Frankfort-on-tbe-Main, will give two grand concerts at the Opera House this evening and to-morrow evening. The admission lias been placed at 50 and 25 cents.

THK Ladies' Aid Society will receive donations, in dry goods, groceries, etc., in a room in the new Bank Ruilding, commencing Saturday, 25th, and continuing to tbe next Wednesday. On that day tbey expect to send out to the worthy poor of the city, one hundred baskets—each filled with a good Thanksgiving dinner. These baskets will be solicited for among tbe good people of tbe city, and there are but few who cannot, or will not, contribute, making many hearts glad with a good, substantial, diuner.
