She has had charge of the painting in the school for many y«*nrs, and is still in charge of it, despite her advanced age.

There never was such a crdp of strawberries in this vicinity as the present season has produced. Both in quantities and size the crop of the present season has never been equalled, and the price has in consequence been very reasonable. It is said that some of the gardeners who make a specialty of raising strawberries have netted from 1150 to 1250 an acre on their output.

The Patriarchs Militant—the unform rank of the Odd Fellows, expects to have a great time In this city on thu 30th inst., when the regiment to which McKeen Canton is attached will hold its meeting here.

There will be a lively contest for this work, Hrnoriu those who have signified an inteutiun of putting in a bid being Morris M. Defrees,and Wm. Mercer, of Indianapolis, Voorhees & Grimes and Frank H. Cooper, of this city. It is not considered likely that the council will let the contract on Tuesday uight. but will refer the bids to a committee for examination a report to be made at a special meeting of the council called for that purpose.

Rev. J. E. Sulger, of St. Stephen's church, read a very interesting paper before the ministerial association on Monday, in which he diacussed the question of divorce. He took the stand made by the Episcopal church, which, like the Catholic church, is opposed to the dissolution of the marriage contract by the courts, and also spoke against the re-marriage of divorced parties.

The jury for the present term of the Superior court has been drawn as follows: Wm. Mason, Harrison Wm. O. Burgett, Prairieton Robert Blair, Nevins Wood Ostrander, Otter Creek John R.

The work of asphalting Ohio street be gan Monday, and has progressed to a point between Fifth and Sixth streets. It is expected to finish the work about the middle or latter part of next week. When finished the street will be one of the finest in the city, and its improved condition is expected to benefit various business interests located on that street. The WarrenScharf company, which also has the contract for the improvement of uorth Fifth street, from Cherry to the Big Four road, and Seventh street, between the two railroads, has completed a great portion of the excavations on the Fifth street work, and will increase the force on it as soon as the Ohio street improvement is done. The improvement of these streets will be greatly felt by the retail trade in the city, as an item of labor alone means the expenditure between $1,200 and 1,500 each week during the progress of the'work.

The meeting of the state board of the L. A. W. that was to have been held this week to fix upon the place for the state meeting has been postponed until the 33d inst. The Terre Haute members of the league have been working hard to secure the requisite number of members to secure the meeting, and have made a remarkable record. Over one hundred new members have been secured. Geo. C. Rossell has let! the work, and has secured the greater proportion of new members. Eich member who secures ten names is is presented with a handsome badge of honor, and these are being worn Geo. C. Rossell, SiUs Lynn. Isaac Tomer and Chas. M. Miller. It is thought that there is but little question that Terre Haute will secure this meeting, which will bring here ail the notable racers in the state.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Piepenbripk, of ^uth Second street, have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in the loss of their infant daughter Bertha, whose death occurred last Sunday morning from a complication of diseases, resulting from a severe case of the whooping cough.

It was thought this week that he would be strong enauga to submit to an operation which would prolong his life for several years, but it was djcidei b^ his physicians that he was not strong enough to.undergo the ordeal. Word was received yesterday that he would be brought home to-day, but last night a message came that he would remain there until some deciled change in his condition took place.

Mr. Daggett's sou-in-law, John Davis, is also with him at Mt. Clemons.

The largest crowd attracted to this city by a circus, in recent years was drawn here Thursday by the visit of the BarnumBailey shows. The immense lent, which seats fourteen thousand persons, was filled at both performances, aud it was the universal opinion that the show was the best that has ever been given here. There were more new features, more striking novelties, than have ever been exhibited here. The proprietors of the big show seem determined to please the public in every way, and the attention paid to patrons by the attendants was in marked

played by such employes. It seems to make no difference with circus patrons in this vicinity how hard times may be, they always patronize the splendid performances of this company.

Base Ball.

The Terre Hautes have done very well during the present series at home, having won two games each from the Washington and Cairo teams, both of which have been materially strengthened recently. To-day the Paducahs open for three games, to be followed on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week by the Nashvilles. The game to-morrow will be called at three o'clock, and if the weather is favorable there will' probably be largest crowd of the season'in attendance

An Ingenious Idea.

There is a certain genius in one of our western towns who will doubtless never lose any of his worldly possessions if it depends on his wit to retain them. His entry into the town aud a subsequent method he employed to secure re dress from a grocer who bad outrageous ly imposed upon him by selling him a lot of sugar mixed with lime sufficiently testify to his ability in such matters. The impurity of the sugar was hardly perceptible at first, but when put into use it quickly showed its inferiority. The next day an advertisement appeared in the town paper that read somewhat as follows: "Should the grocer who for his profits injudiciously mixed a pound of lime with a few pounds of sugar and lately sold it to a customer not send to that person at once the pound of sugar he cheated him of, his name shall be disclosed to the newspapers." To which advertisement he affixed his name aifti address.

The morning had hardly passed before a pound of sugar arrived, followed in quick succession by seven more, all from different sources, which plainly showed a distressing want of honesty among the grocers of the town.

It is not related whether the coffee, tea and various other articles were examined by the genius in hopes of a similar condition and alike reward, but the presumption is that no time was lost in ascertaining if such a possibility actu ally existed.—Harper's Round Table.

Twisting Tobacco.

When the raw leaf tobacco reaches tbe factory, it is in large hogsheads, packed tightly and done up in "hands," just as it comes from the curing house. The first process is to strip the stems out of the wide red leaves and smooth the heaviest of them into long strips for wrappers. These are dampened so they will roll readily without bursting. Then tbey are handed over to the skilled workmen, who turn them into handsome twists like magic. This process is most interesting and shows what skill may be acquired by practice. Each workman stands at a long table, upon which are piled the loose fillers and wrappers At his right is a rack provided with a slat bottom, which allows the twists to dry. Deftly taking up a handful of loose tobacco and two long, slender leaves, the workman quickly transforms the mass into a long roll and doubles it into an ounce or two ounce twist. Each workman has a small counter scale at band, set to weigh the exact amount of tobacco be is to put in each twist. So skinful do these men become that they scarcely ever miss the correct weight the fraction of an ounce. Tbe best wotkmen roll fro 1,800 to 2,000 of these twists a day- Kansas City Star
