Mis. Harriet Thompson, the loved and honored wife of Hon. Richard W. Thompeon died last Sunday morning, in the 78th year of her age. There was no disease—simply the vital forces giving away from advancing years, and for some weeks her life was truly a preserved life. When at last Death did come, he came without his terrors and she wss simply beckoned to the other shore. While we sorrow that the time must surely come when one so good, so useful, so happy in her household must psss away, there is something tenderly appropriate in the serene death of the old. When, as with her, the duties of life have all been nobly done, when the sun torches the horizon, when the purple twilight falls upon the past, when memory with dim eyes can scarcely spell the records of vanished days, then, surrounded by husband and children and friends, death comes like a strain of music, and we mingle our sorrow for the dead with sincere sympathy for husband and children she has gone from.

Mrs. Thompson wss born January 29th, 1811. She was the oldest of thirteen children of Colonel J. B. Gardiner, a prominent citizen of Columbus, Ohio. She wss married to Colonel Thompson in that city, on May 5th, 1836, by the Rev. E. W. Sehon, of the Methodist church. They moved from Bedford, Ind., to this city, in 1843. The years of 1841-2 she was with Colonel Thompson in Washington, where he represented the Bedford district in congress. From 1843 to the time of her death she lived in this city, excepting the years 1848-9, when Colonel Thompson was again in congress, and again during the time her husband was a member of President Hayes' cabinet.

Of eight children, five survive her, Fred, Miss Mollie, Richard, Harry and Mrs. Henry. Seven sisters, three in Columbus, Ohio, one in Cireleville, Ohio, one in Eaton, Ohio, one in Santa Barbara, Cal., and one in Cincinnati, and one brother, of Columbus, Ohio, are yet alive. 3*1

The funeral services were held at the residence on Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Towne, of Centenary, assisted by Revs. Hollingsworth and Halstead. The body was placed temporarily in the vault at Woodlawn previous to final Interment in Highland Lawn.

The dancing people are shaking their heels at quite a lively rate. On Wednesday Prof. Duenweg gave a reception at Dowling Hall. On Thursday eveniag the Dirego club danced at Occidental hall. The Military band gave a private dance at their liall last night. Next Wednesday evening the conductors give a benefit reception to the widow of the late Wm. Richardson, at the rink. The U. A I.

club will dance at the Occidental hall on Thursday evening. The stationary engineers give their first ball April 10th at Occidental hall, and the closing reception of the bicycle club occi^rs on the 11th at Dowling hall. An April 16th the ladies of the Turn society wiH,give a reception at Dowling hall, and *ire still others contemplated.

Terre Haute hasn't much base ball fever along with its spring fever this year, but it is being consumed with an interest in pugilism. On all hands there is talk about the "manly art of self-de-fense," and in many upstair back rooms can be found young men "putting no the gloves." There have been men of culture and refinement who held that pride in the art of self-defense was an indication of a strong, manly character. If this be true, then indeed is Terre Haute particularly blessed with the spirit of strong manhood. However, there is a law against prise fighting, and two pugilists were convicted at Indianapolis yesterday and fined $50 eacbi'

There are few if any persons who will be sad at parting with this March which came in like a lion, and continued to conduct Itself very much like that ferocious beast until the last day or two of its existence. Spring should have begun teu days ago and the merchants were expeoting their trade to open at least two weeks before Easter but it was idle to expect anything in the way of opening business when blisxards were blowing and the cold wave flag was hardly ever pulled down. However, everyono expects to make up for lost time in the coming month and the newspapers bear evidence that the merchants are preparing to do so with a vengeance.

The men who have been clubbing and shooting Knoder, the car works moulder, must realise that he is a hard man to kill. He is now recovering from the supposed fatal pistol shot in his abdomen, last Friday. White, the shooter, is still in jail, and must be happy In the feet that the wont charge against him will be shooting with intent to kill, instead of answering to the grave charge of murder.

In what way the township trustee can be of service to the liquor interest we are not advised, unless he Is to care for the paupers made by the ttaffile, but certain it is that the saloon keepeni are putting forth great efforts to elect Mr. Peker, the Democratic candidate In this township. A commltte of five has been appointed to call on and assess every saloon keeper from 95 np, to aid in his election.

That was a singular proceeding on Monday, in declaring Mr. Mathew 8edam. Our venerable townsman, once om of the foremost business mm in

Terre Haute people can boast of their enterprising merchants. New York city cannot show finer goods than are on sale in our stores. Of course it is not ex pec ted that every dry goods firm and every notion store has a oomplete stock of the nlegant fabrics now produced, but some of our more pushing merchants do keep them. There is no line of merchandise so improved and beautiful as the footwear. This has been observed by nearly every lady in the city. Moreover, the styles being so numerous, and the widths running from AA to EE, to keep a oomplete stock is beyond the'reach of many, and requires a practical shoe man to buy and handle so great a stock, of this we are oertain. But we are fortunate in having that man in our city, who for seventeen years has been faithfully at his post and now stands without a peer as a practical shoe man, with a store full of the finest and ts and 8hoes in the world. That is T. J. Griffith, No. 22 Bouth street.,. This firm Bboidd.be and nized.
