Two parties of youug ladies attended the opera house on Thursday evening ininurf hats, and'appeared to much better advantage than their sisters with sky scrapers which obscured the stage as a thunder cloud obscures the sun. In the east it is the fad now for ladies to attend tho theatre without hats, and the fashion should become universal at once.

The ice gorge in the Wabash broke on Wednesday afternoon and floated down, leaving the river clear. When it struck tho piers of tho railroad bridges the ice made consideiablo noise but did no damage.

1of

a Warrior. A new ritual was usod which is warranted not to take off more ••ban one leg or one arm at a time, aud works to a charm. Tho Haymakers held their regular monthly meeting in Tammany hall on Nouth Third street last Jiight.

The distillery has decreased its consumption of corn from 5,600 bushels wer day to 1,800 bushels per day. This has been done on account of the accumulation of whisky throughout the country, and the decrease will probably be continued until the large surplus has been reduced within bounds. Tho decrease of production throws about half tho force of gangers termporarily out of employment, and reduces the number of cattle in the pens froui 5,»«00 to 1,800 head.

In this portion of the state the farmem are nearly all of the opinion that the hard frost which followed tho holidays has killed all tho wheat which was jin a condition to be killed. They say that very little of the wheat sown last fall showed above tho ground at all before winter set in, and that it canuot be expected to do anything now. On the other hand James M. Bolton says he had a field of wheat years ago which didn't sprout until spring and it yielded twen-ty-six bushels to the acre.

jers in the county, of whom more than I one half pay on real estate, so it will be seen that the percentage of delinquents is not large. .'A

The reception of the Terre Haute Rifles in Bindley hall last Tuesday night was a very pleasant social event. About one hundred and fifty couple participated |i in the grand march, which was led by eight members of the company, followed I jjy the colonel of the First and other members of the organization.

1

Lernair was given during an intermission. Among the guests were Major D. McAulifle, Capt. Robert Wolfe, Lieut. Cline, Lieut, Stunkard and Sergeant Major Bitton, of Brazil.

Tho committees of the various masonic organizations of this city, appointed a short time ago to consider the propriety of erecting a handsome temple here, held a meeting lastSaturday night. The following were present: Messrs. H. H. Boudinot, J. D. Early, Judge T. B. Long, James Allou, Charles H. Goodwin, B. G. Hudnut, Robert Geddes, A.J. Crawford, John K. Graff, Alex.

A woman of the town named Mayme Call committed suicide last Sunday morning in a room over Casio's drug store by taking fifteen cents worth of morphino, which she had purchased in the establishment below. She was only eighteen years old, and had been released from jail just prior to the commission of the act. The body was removed to, the home of her mother on Cherry street. It appears that about fifteen years ago Mrs. Call deserted her husband in Clay oounty, taking with her this girl, who was then only three yoars old, and the natural consequence followed. The father was in town Tuesday and hearing of the suicide wont to the house to see if the dead girl was his daughter. It is said that on making the discovery the scene was pitiful in the extreme.

••Down in Yigo county," says the Lafayette Sunday Leader,

:,the

divorce

business has grown so large, that the Judge has been induced to make an effort to stop it. He is directing the Prosecuting Attorney to bring suit against those defendants who aro charged with failure to provide for their wives and families, and who are uccused of abandonment. He wants to put a stop to the rapidly growing practice of m«n marrying women, and in a short time deserting them and the children, causing them in many cases to become ob jocts of charity. The man who marries should bo not only willing but desirous of providing for the comfort aud support of his family.' A few vigorous prosecu tions may place a check upon the custom of deserting, failing to feed, clothe aud house their better halves."

During the cold weather which has prevailed since Christmas there has been an oyster famine, not only here but throughout the United States. Many of the wateis of Virginia and Maryland richest in oysters were frozen over so that oyster catching was suspended, and thousands of oyster men were idle. Many of tho outlying islands of Chesepeake bay wore firmly knit to the mainland by tho ice. Now that the water is about to open there will be a rush for the 03'ster beds, and oysters are likely to be very cheap throughout Maryland aud Virginia before the oyster catching season closes with April. Speculators have made arrangomonts to buy up the early spring oysters at low rates and hold them until the price advances. This is a simple matter,-as the taming of oysters, so 4o speak, is an old time practice. In this locality every person is ready for the close of th» famine and low prices.

Both houses of the legislature havo passed the bill exteuding the terms of city officers, in cities not acting under a special charter, two years, and making the terms hereafter four years. Under this law Terre Haute will hold no election next spring, for the terms of the mayor, clerk," treasurer and councilmen will be extended two years longer, during which time the Democrats will continue in control of the council. Yesterday afternoon it was rumored that a movement, headed by Councilman Wey, was on foot to have Governor Matthews refuse to sign the bill and an invasion of the capital is threatened. It Is said several councilmen threaten to resign, and even the mayor seems in doubt concerning the effect of the new law. It is feared that if many resignations are forced upon the council the business of the city will be seriously embarrassed, as so few men want office nowadays.

The Terre Haute Humane Society held its annual meeting In the Congre gational church parlors last Monday evening and elected the following officere President, Col. R. W. Thompson

There was au elopement to this city last Monday which has managed to have kept itself pretty well undercover. The parties to it were Donald McPherson, of Brazil, 37 yoars old, and Rachel Shep herd, of New berg, 19 years of age. It appears that previous to leaving home the fair Rachol was the unfortunate possessor of a stern parent who would not permit the bold Donald upon his premises, although the latter is supposed to have reached years of discretion along about the time of the young lady's birth. But Donald loved Rachel, and as Rachel loved Donald they found it just as easy to laugh at an irate daddy as a locksmith, so they gathered themselves together on Monday morning at Brazil and walked from there td the end of the electric line at the fair grounds, from whence they rode to town. No difficulty was experienced in obtaining a license, and in a few minutes Squire Thomas pronounced the words which made them man and wife. They returned to Brazil in the evening, and by this time the old man has prpDably recovered.-

Mrs. Hannah Haines died at the home of her grand daughter, Mrs. W. S. Burgan, of Lost Creek township, on Thursday evening, at the advanced age of 91 years. "There are few people of middle age raised in this city or vicinity who did not know Mrs. Haines, and all bear her in kindly remembrance. She was one of the oldest residents of this part of the state, coming here in 1818, a few days after the battle of Fort Harrison, which decided the Indian question hereabouts. Her husband died many years ago, after which she earned a livelihood by following the occupation of a nurse until the infirmity of age forced her to a life of quiet. The old lady had a wonderful memory, and her recollections and early reminiscences of Vigo county weri a source of much interest. She was a woman of kindly disposition, always ready tod willing to care for the sick, and was over found working where duty called ber. Her life was one of usefulness and when the time came for her to obey the summons, she laid down the cross as cheerfully as she had taken it up. The funeral took place this morning. The interment was in Woodlawn.

#The Young Men's Congregational Club conduct their first service to-mor-row eyening at the usual hour of evening service. A programme consisting principally of music has been prepared.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there

is

at least one dreaded

disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages aud that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of thedisease, aud giving the patient strength by. building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to «ure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.
