THB distillery belonging to Fairbanks A Duenweg, was entirely destroyed by Are last Sunday afternoon. The Are started in the roof from sparks out of Oie smoke stack. The building and con tents were of the most inflamable materials, and the fire department could do nothing more than save the property surrounding the main building. It was an old frame structure built thirty years ago. It is to be replaced immediately tjy a brick building. The loss by the Are Is estimated at 1100,000. Insurance Co the amount of $78,000 was carried on tbe entire works. 1 1 ii

THB Fourth of July—once the greatest of American holidays—has come and gone again. In various parts of the country the customary amount of spread-eagleism has been uttered. Bands have played, cannon have sounded, marshals and their aids have swelled their breasts on prancing steeds, fireworks have dazzled, and the swarming people have been tired and delighted. In these latter days the Fourth is little more than an ordinary holiday. The reverence with which it was once regarded has about passed away—been edipeed by other and newer names, deeds and battles. The country has been saved a second time by a later crop of heroes and brave exploits, and the Fourth now of the middle aged man is not the Fourth of his boyhood.
In this city the day was observed with moderation and in a rational way. Owing to the city ordinance and the Mayor's proclamation, there was little gunpowder burned. In the afternoon business was pretty generally suspended, and the quiet of Sabbath prevailed. Numerous picnic parties went to the woods and the Horticultural society gathered at Lake Fluvanna, while Monniger's, with the Ringgold band, caught a goodly number.
The main celebration was under the unspices of the Agricultural society, at the fair grounds. The street parade in the forenoon was quire a feature. The display of Terre Haute industry was very creditable. The committee on award for the best wagon bad a difficult task to decide between W. B. Stewart's cooper shop and Fiukbiner Daenweg's hardware display, but finally gave the cup to the former.
There were from 5,000 to 8,000 peoplo at the fair grounds, where the exercises consisted of music by the Apollo band, ainging by Mies Helen Jeffers, reading of the Declaration of Independence by Miss Theresa Stronse, reading of Lincoln's address at Gettyburg, by Miss Kate Fischer, and addresses by David N. Taylor, H. C. Nevitt and Col. Thompson. The Knights of Pythias drilled, and three interesting races were had.
Altogether the celebration was quite a success, and we are glad to learn the society has netted a goodly sum to apply upon its debt.
SAMURL MERRY, honest "Uncle Sam" as he was familiarly known, has passed away and a busy life, along life of bard toil is ended. -Death laid his tired body at rest at seven o'clock last Sunday morning, he having nearly reached his seventy-eighth year. No man of the many old citizens who have recently passed away, will be more missed than Samuel Merry. He came to the little village ot Terre Haute In 1833, and here he has lived for half a century, an honest, upright life, trusted by his fellow citizens and by the government he served since the first railroad was built out of thiB city. His word was as good as his bondjoM all his possessions were honestly earned. He had his pecullaritie*, but thagr were not weaknesses. He was frank and outspoken to such an extent that he may have seemed rougti, uncivil, to the stranger, but to those who beet knew him be was the faithful friend, the helper of the poor and needy, so modest in his giving that for bis charity he got in this world credit less than he deserved. He was an old-fash-ioned Methodist, for forty years a member of Asbury church, and one of bis pastors, Elder Wm. Graham—the one who best knew him—conducted the funeral service, in the course of which be said:
Beneath his eccentricities and energetic business drive, he had a simple, child-ilke ulety, which showed a heart or love to God. lu benevolence hai was a strong support in the church, though few know it. Not even the church, much less th world, had any knowledge of all he did with his hard earned money to relieve want and promote the kingdom of Christ Disgusted with the parade and show of giving, he naturally gravitated to the opposite extreme and sought to conceal his benevolence, not letting his left hand know what his right hand did. "From a frlend"~"by a friend '—will be a record less frequently made on the church books than before he was called to his reward. He gave systematically, and he gave latgely. He was also charitable to the deserving poor and friendless. It was no uncommon Uilng for him to quit his work, and hitch to his family carriage and take It for the use of some poor family at a funeral. At many a stricken home among the hnmble, the familiar carriage of Brother Merry was seen at the door.
Samuel Merry was a true and tnwty friend. Beneath that brawn breast ot his there beat a big, warm, generous heart, which only near intimacy could find out. He was not easily reconciled to those who he believed had done him wrong, though he never sought to do them any injury but a Mend he would stand by to the lant time leeacn his nttachmeu' livt afltectlonsM hoii i' is widely known, especially to the ministry of hi# church and their families. Nothing seemed to aflbrd him andt his excellent« par 1 more pleasure than to entertain &

AfWi the usual order of businssa President Brown read a very forcible paper za 'M iumntiiam and its Remedy." This provoked a my animated discussion in which all the gentlemen and part of the ladles engaged. This was followed by the regular delate on the qoestion, "Shall Manttal Labor be introduced Into the Public Schools?" which was v«ry ably discussed. It was six o'clock before
meeting adjeurned.

AT this season of the year whep there Is such a liking for lemons, it is ivell to know that the best come from Measina, in Spain. The Florida lemon i&i deceiver. It looks nice, but is too pithy and thick skinned. The best lemoiia are bright yellow in color, have smooth skin, and show a firmness in pressure.
OUR base ball club seems fc&bave taken on new life. It came home this week and defeated the Fort Waynes in three straight games. Manager Buckenberger was released and George Hammeratein, one of the directors, toc|: the boys to Quincy, where yesterday two games were played. In the mopping the Qulncys beat by a score of S to f', and in the afternoon the Terre Hautes *vere successful in an errorless game a Ad a score of 13 to 9. A third game will be played there to-day, and then the club goes to Milwaukee.
AN ordinance to prohibit cows running at large in the city was introduced in the council last Tuesday evening and to the surprise of long suffering citizens was voted down by a vote of 7 to 4. Those voting against it were J. H. Brlggs, Fitzpatrick, Kolsem, Klug, Poths, Wlmer, and Wildy. This action has resulted in bringing to light a neglected and,al most forgotten ordinance restraining cows from roaming in the night time, and a special policeman has been detailed to enforce it. If he does his duty this will afford some relief, but nevertheless it detracts much from our city pride to have strangers see cattle grazing on our streets and befonling the sidewalks in the day time
THB other day Attorney Harper and Squire Lock man made a rumpus on Wall street. One pitched the other through a window. On the second round the pitcher was served likewise. "The pitcher that went" was not broken but the window was. There was a crash, much loud talk and the pe&ce of the city was disturbed. Policemen, in accordance with Wall street rules, looked on and made no arrest*. Chief Vaftderver, when he heard of it, preferred charges of incompetency against policemen Alex Tucker and John McClellan and the police board dismissed them from the force. While this prompt action is to be commended by all order loving citizens, there is no little sympathy for the discharged men and in view of past proceedings in similar cases, there is room for the question whether a stern reprimand with positive notice of dismissal on repetition of such another neglect of duty would not have been sufficient.
