Since the real estate excitement of 1872-3 there has never been a time in the history of Terre Hauto that there has been so much demand for real estate, or as geod a propect for building, as there is this year.

The men who want real estate at this time want it for building purposes they are paying the cash for it, and are making preparations to build. Among those in course of construction or in contemplation are the following, together with the estimated cost of each:

The cake was only crust and cotton, and the sandwiches glucose. It was an April fool feast, and many were the fooled. Taken as a whole the affair was the most successful and enjoyable ever held here by the Oriental degree.

Sh6 will bring with her the original company intact, and all of the scenery and properties used in her New York engagement. Messrs. Dickson & Talbott pay $6,000 cash for these two performances, and had a good deal of trouble in getting them for that large sum. So far as the returns are in, everybody wants to see the divine

Sarah," and almost everybody

Is making arrangements to do so, including not only the theater-goers of the Capital City, but a number from this city as well. Seats can be secured by telegraphing or writing Messrs. Dickson & Talbott at Indianapolis.
