THE AMERICAN.11

IT IT E S

Mayor's Court.

Yesterday, two young men named Dwier, having imbibed too much of the ardent, became mo 8t too warm to keep, during the 'dog days' in the open air, were kindly offered a temporary retreat amid the classic shades of the 'Burnet House,' by constable Miller. But they not fully able to appreciate the comity of the offer, became indignant at what they considered an infringement on the boasted freedom, for which our fathers fought-and fell, and thereupon resisted even to blood. -But Miller, tho' wounded succeeded, with the assistance of the invincible 'Sam,' in depositing them safely under the hospitable roof of the ever watchful Burnet. This morning, being introduced into the drawing-room of Mayor Hook, he presented their bills, amounting, for their fun, yesterday, and their lodging last night, to the snug little sum of $17, which they paid and departed.

Last night, Marshal Dodson furnished lodgings, at the City Hotel, to one Luke Dignnn, who hails from the land of Emmet, of Moore and of O'Connel.

Luke had unfortunetely become inebriated while assisting to celebrate an Irish wake. This moruing appearing before his Honor, the Mayor, in astute of deep penitence, and it appearing that the cridher had been obtained from Illinois, he was permitted to 8epart in peace.

Three young men, named Ording, Graff and Mayer, were interrupted in a matin serenade, by the unmusical 'Samuel,'about 3 o'clock this morning. Mayor llook politely hinted that a few dollars und a better selection of time and place for their next concert, would appease the ordinance 'in such cases made and provided,' assenting to which reasonable proposition, they departed— singing, in. pianissimo "I wont stay in the wilderness

But a few dava &c."m

Almost a, Burglary

Last (Sunday) night, the store of J. G. Adams, on the South side of the Square, was entered by a chevalier d'indtmlrie, but hearing a noise while prosecuting his professional researches—he dropped his "implements of trade" and mizzled. Our citizens would do well to be on the look-out, und be prepared to give all such rascals a warm reception.

J£3T The Indianapolis Daily Republican has again changed hands it is now published by Cameron & McNecJy.

Jtif Evening Star Temple of Honor, No, 50, meets this evening.

S3T On the Fourth of July, the citizens of a town in Mississippi assembled at a church, to celebrate the day by reading the Declaration of Independence and Washington's Farewell Address. An old gentleman, coming in very late, walked up near the pulpit while Washington's Address was being read. The old man listened until he heard "against the insidious wiles of foreign influences, I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citigens, the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government." When this was read, he threw up his hat in a passion and left the house. At the door ho met some some friends: "Gentlemen," said he,

came here to celebrate the Fourth of July, and hear the Declaration of Indedencc and Washington's Farewell Address read. But," said he, "the first thing I heard was that fellow in there reading a d—d Know-Nothing document and I'll whip him as soon as he leaves the house."

&3F Dr. Franklin observas—" The eyes of others are the eyes that ruin "if* i. ^ut

myself

were blind, I

should want neither flne houses nor «ne furniture."

PUBLIC

—OP THE—

FRIENDS OF THE

AMERICAN UNION,

OF VIQQ Qoiii

The time has arrived when the Friends of the American Union should unite together to save it from assault. The times are ominous of evil and call for calm deliberation on the part of the People. LET US REASON TOGETHER.

Teere will be a Public Meeting in TERRE-HAUTE, on next SATURDAY, the 11th inst., commencing at 1 o'clock, P. M., to consider of the present aspect of public affairs, and to endeavor to counteract the efforts now making to \BOLITIONIZE the whole North.— The people of ALL PARTIES, are invited, and it is hoped they will generally attend.

R. W. THOMPSON, Esq., will address the meeting, and there will, perhaps, be other speeches made.

Aug. 6, '55.

jCST'The large foundry belonging to J. Farnsworth, Jr., on Elm street, was destroyed by fire last night about 1 o'clock. The large brick machine and finishing shop on Ohio street, in front of the foundry, was uninjured. Mr. F's loss is severe, not so much in the value of the few patterns, flasks, and the buildings consumed, as will be the detent'on in business untii the foundry building is replaced. There was no insurance. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary.

Mr. Farnsworth expects to be melting iron again, in a week or ten days. On the 19th of July, 1850, Farnsworth was burnt out on Ohio street, above his present location. Ten days he consumed in negotiating for a new location and in the next month, Au-1 gast, he was melting iron in an entire-1 ly new establishment. Such energy is bound to overcome all obstacles. Madison Courier.

Tennessee Election.

But few returns have been received from Tennesse, and these are quite contradictory, each party claiming the success of its candidate. The latest news is from Nashville, dated July 5th and indicate the prospects as very favorable for Johnson, the American candidate. In the 1st district Rivers, the American, is elected to Congress.

The entire loss by the burning

of the Verandah Hotel, at New Orleans, is estimated at 0150.000.

OCTOBER ELECTION.

I am a candidate for re-election to the offioe of Auditor of Vigo oounty, at the next October election.
