'^TERRE-HAUTE, IND. SATUR1»AY7JUNE 23, 185:.

jCST Wo owo an apology to our readers, for the space we have wasted upon tho Valley Blade and its Editor.

We were drawn into if, from no fau't of ours, but simply acted in self-defence when attacked. Since he has stooped to low invectives, personal abuse, and vulgar innuendos, to which self respect forbids us to descend, we leave him, well content to let him abuse us to his heart's content, well knowing, that among his acquaintance, his abuse will redound to our credit—his commendation would ruin any man. No provocation shall betray us into noticing his filthy sheet in future.

LITERARY.

Quite an excitement has sprung up, in the literary world, by the appearance of a Book, entitled, "Moredun, a tale of the 1210," purporting to be from the pen of the renowned Sir Walter Scott, and said to have been discovered in the city of Paris, France, last September,! by "E. De Saint Maurice Cobary, Directeur General de la Societe des Archivestes de France," who in an elaborate preface of fifteen pages, urges very plausible evidences of its autuenticity.

Of the merits of the book we are, as yet, unable to speak, not having had an opportunity of perusing it. But if it is indeed the workmanship of the inimitable author of "Waverly," it will be a rich souvenir to the present age, and will doutless have a great sale.

The book is octavo 300 pages, published by W. P. Fetridge & Co.. Franklin Square N. Y. city, and Fetridge fc Co. Boston, and is for sale by Buckingham's, at the sign of the "big book," Phoenix Row.

IXT We would suggest the propriety of the Council looking into the condition of Second Street The late rains have cut the sidewalks very much, and a few dollars expended immediately, in the proper way, will save three times the amount laid out. When this can be done, -we think it is the duty of the Council to attend to it, without waiting for repeated entreaties from those interested.

BAD, DECIDEDLY.—The captain of the steamer Golden State, arrived here some days ago from Council Bluff and Yellow Stone, informs us that the fiver up in that region was very low, the whole country suffering for want of rain—and that while the boat was at the mouth of the Yellow Stone, the prairies caught fire, and before the fire could be put out the river was burnt in two?—Lexington (Mo.) Express,

JSTA late number of Blackwood, in speaking of education, talks most democratically for that High Tory organ. It Says:

Everybody should have his head, heart and hand educated. By the proper eduoation of his heart, he will be taught to hate what is evil, foolish and wrong and by proper education of the hand, he will be enabled to supply his wants, to add to his comfort, and to assist those around him. The highest object is of great value everything that hinders us is comparatively worthlees. When wisdom reigns in the native head, and love in the heart, the man is ever ready to do good, order and peace reign around him, and sin and sorrow are almost unknown.

SUNDAY IN PARIS.—HORACK GREELEY, writing from Paris, Franco, says that on Sunday half the stores are open that men are cutting stono and doing all manner of work as on other days that the journals are published, offices open, and business transacted, and that there is more hilarity, more dancing, more dvinking, moretheatre-going, and more dissipation than on any other day of the week.
