The arguments were made yesterday morning by Judge hbeltou opening for the plslutiff, Jamea T. Johnam following for the defendant and Judge McNutt closing for tbe plaintiff. At the close of the argument Judge Buff took tbe case under advisement, an noundngthat would probably require three or four days deliberation

NEW TEARS RESOLUTIONS.

I will—bat no, I guess not. That I won't count this one. That I wish I bad sworn off one day earlier.

That I will never again make New Year calla. That I will forever forswear smoking— poor cigars.

That I'll never do so again. No, nev— well, bard—. That I will never get into a fight with a stronger man.

That I will not exert myself nnneecesaarily between meals. That I will avoid evil associations—except when I am alone.

I will not ssk for an increase of salary, but hope «n all tbe same. That as it is nevei too late to mend, I will put it off a little longer.

That I will live within my income—if I can only contrive to get one. I will not—but perhaps on second thought I may, so never mind.

I will stop all my nonsense, if I can, and if I can't, why how can I That I will not swear off, because I've done it before, and it don't last.

I resolve to re-resolve all good resolutions I have ever heard resolved. That I will never invite another man to dinner without forewarning my wife.

That I will form resolutions of a frangible character. They are easier to break.

Resholve, al'fler zhat never'll touch another drop slongs llveselpmegracious That I will turn over a new leaf—as soon as new leaves make their appearance.

That I will get married—if 1 can find the right girl and I happen to be tbe right man.

THE PASSING SHOW.

.SHOWS AND SHOW FOLKS.

This evening Charles

Louise Montague, the professional beauty of Forepaugh's circus, is now tending bar in a saloon of her own in Philadelphia.

On Monday afternoon and evening, the New Year will be opened at the Opera House by Frank Mordaunt and his dramatic company, playing the nautical drama of "Old Shipmates." Of this play the Dramatic News says

There is a charm about its unpretentious simplicity which canuot fail to elicit favor even from the most cultivated audience. This characteristic, added to its excellent dramatic arrangement, raises it much above enuge of the new plays which have roaaced here this season, and insures

the ave been It a place in popular favor long after they have been relegated to the oblivion they so richly deserve.

On Tuesdsy evening Madame Jansuschek, after an absence of several years, will appear. This lady stands st tbe bead of her line of personations. She will [enact tbe title role of Schiller's strong drama of "Mary Stuart," of which the Detroit Post and Tribune ssys:

The strength, baauty and symmetry of this impersonation have been so warmly praised in the past that it only remaius to reiterate the fact quite briefly. The tragedienne had an excclleut house and appreciation of her artistic worth was demonstrated by it in numerous recalls. There was an occasional uncertainty In her voice, as if it hnd boen over-taxed, but this wholly ^disappeared in the remarkable scene in the garden of Fotherlngar castle, where, step by step, site led up to that sublime climax in whioJi she denounces Elizabeth as a wanton and declare* that she herself is queen of England. This is the great act of the drama, and in it

Modjeska was booked yesterday for an appearance on the 26th of February. P. T. Barn says that whiskey will kill tbe best circus ever organized.

Adam Forepaugh wouldn't have Mrs. Langtry on any terms. He had a' professional beauty once, and the taffy the press gave her made her so proud that she wanted to own the show. yefcr.Tlmtr yet ner acting has oorww vanced oue particle since she li*?t went upon tbe stage.

Chanfrau says "Not one particle of real feelihgonters Into tjie stage embrace. I've been forty years in the profession, and I ought to know."

A preacher claims that ho can see "the clovon hoof" in the theater. He has evidently got a little mixed In his metaphor he probably means that he can smell the cloven-breath.

An Interviewer has had hold of Joaquin Miller, and iu the course of his

cross-examination

that distinguished

Laureate of the Sierras delivered his opinion upon "the plsy of the future." "The play of to-diy," said the poetic author of "The Danites," "is to be a play of action, not talk. In 'My Partner,' the hero of the pleoe divides his property. How does he do it? While his partner's back is turned be pours the gold upon the table, and, with a bowieknife, divides in two equal parts then he adds to his partner's pile until tho audience breaks into applause. Scarcely a word is spokon, and yet the situstlon is powerful and dramatic. The great plays of the future are to tell a story like a telegraph dispatch, In the fewest possible words." "Then vou believe that the American play is yet to be written?" 'Yes, sir, most emphatically I do and I am going to write it," added the exOregon Indian tamer, shaking tbe dust of two continents from his sombrero.

I see that Bartley-Oampbell's new play, 'Siberia,' bas made a great hit, with Georgia Cayvan as the heroine in tbe cast." "Yea," said Joaquin, "Campboll has 'struck It rich' this time, and I am glad of It. He deserves all the success he can

'Siberia' is a strong name?" "Of course it's a strong name. You see they are all patterning after me in selecting the names of states and countries for tbeir plays. Such titles as 'Oregon,' 'California,' 'Mexico 'Arixona,' 'Austria.' etc., mean something impressive, and they will always command respect." —Charles Hornung's new bakery in Prairie Block, corner of Ninth and Chestnut, is now open, and you will find there tbe finest bread, cakes, plea, etc., tn tbe dty.

Gardner, sup

ported bpr Miss Patti Rosa, will play the German drama of "Karl." Mr. Gardner, says the Indianapolis Journal, "is a dialect specialty performer of the Emmet school, who sings very sweetly, dances gracefully, and is a clever actor. Miss Rosa is a vivacious little soubrette, full of chic and pretty ways, and gracefully shares tbe honors with tbe star." The Indianapolis Times says "the play is light and without special merit, but it serves its purpose in presenting Mr. Gardner apd Mile. Patti Rosa in their specialties, in which they are very fine."

Annual Report

Vigo Agricultural Society..

SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

VIGO AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, TKRRB HAUTE IXD.,

Dec.

10,1883

To compliance with the Law of the State the Society have to make annual report of the year business. In speaking of the laws I wish to call the attention of the incoming Board of Directors to the following in the Revised Statutes.

LICENSES.

FOB WHAT ASD AXOUKT TO PAT. 530ft. For license to keep a ferry there shall be paid to the proper County Treasurer not less than three dooars, nor more than dollars. For travelling merchants and .. dlers who are not residents of this State to vend foreign merchandise five dollars, where the capital employed does not exceed one thousand dollars, seven dollars and tifty cents for any amount over one thousand not exceeding two thousand dollars, ten dollars for any amount over two thousand dollars and not exceeding Ave thousand dollars, twentyfive dollars lor any amount exceeding five thousaud to be paid in each county where they shall offer for sale any such merchandise except tea and coffee. To exhibit for pay any caravan, circus, rope or wire dancing, legerdemain, ventriloquism, puppet show, concert, theatrical perlormanee, or any other exhibition of whatever name or description, whether bj^travemig or stationary troupe or troupeo. Individually or collectively not leas than five dollars nor more than twenty-five dollars for eaeh seperate performance. To carry on the business of stock and exchange broker in buying or selling stock, bank notes, gold, silver, promissory notes and bills of exchange whether by Individuals or corporations, one hundred dollars for one ear, provided, all actions and right of actions now "pending under provisions of the act to which this is an ameadment may be prosecuted under tbe provisions of ths law In force at the time this act took effect. 8270. Money goes to Agricultural Society. Tbe money arising from tbe exhibitions mentioned in the foregoing section shall be paid over by the County Treasurers of their respective counties, to the agricultural society of the county where collected, provided, that In oountles where there are no agricultural societies organized tbe Treasurer thereof shall pay the same thus collected into the county treasury.

All the license fund the society has ever received from tbe above has been from circuses, amounting this year to |125, while we should have quite an income if the law waseuforced. Tho shows take a large amount of money from the people let them leave what the law allows—it will not keep them from coming, aud the money received will be of reat benefit to us, as we need it badly, 'he society is $1,500 in debt, and we need anew building on the fair grounds, situated two miles east of the city, on the National road, and ou the Vandalia railroad. The latter has a sidetrack at the grounds for the convenience of those visiting the grounds also, exhibitors of stock can load and unload their stock, etc. 1 wish on behalf of tbe board to thank the business men of our beautiful city for their kindness in closing their places of business and attending tbe fair, also allowing those laboring for them. It was a great benefit to the' fair and will assist the board in tho future.

The society paid all bills and premiums in full and had a balance on hand. That is glory enough for one year.

As regards the directors, they do not receivejjno cent salary, except the secrebi

hey th

tary. They are working to build up tho fair, believing that we can have as good a fair hero as any place in the state. A short time aince we had no fine stock in the county, aud now we have several herds of tino Jersey cattle and Ido not

county, as tbe stock is generally poor, and the farmers do not seom to take hold of the fine stock. It does not cost any more to keep good stock than poor, antl good stock always sells at good

for

trices. But there is going to be a change the better. There aro several very fine stallions already in the county, and the business men are buying farms and improving them, and improving the horses. We are also improving tho roads by graveling. Let the good work go on. The crops of last season have been fine. Corn predominates in this county: wheat next, and hay. One farmer raised sixty-five thousand bushels of corn on his farm. He is anew beginner, so we'll have to excuse him this time. All the manufactories have been overrun with orders, and are behind in filling them. All the business men are happy over the years' work. The wheat crop looks a little bad at present, but may come all O. K. in tbe spring. The fences consist of hedges, rail, planks, and barb wire— which seems to be coming in favor. Hogs snd sheep are very scarce. The farmers are about equally divided as to fencing stock.

The live stock department at the fair was the best wo had, while the other departments were not well filled, but fine, and the women's department was well filled and attracted a large crowd. This department will be one of the main features of the fslr, as the ladies have taken hold in earnest and are already making articles to exhibit at the next fair. The society pays out |3,000 to $5,000 yearly that should be taken by the farmers in this county. If they would take more interest in fairs, and watch the progress in fine stock and improved ways for farming, it could not help be of great interest and benefit to them, ana the premiums offered would go quite a ways in paying for good stock. Let all try andsee what we can do for the next fair. Below you have the exhibit of tbe society's years' business:
