THERE is a determination on the part of the council, and the authorities of the city to "squelch" all the gambling places in the city. The offenders are not only amenable to the law of the city, but are also liable to indictment by the Grand Jury, and prosecution in the Criminal Court. The "Tiger" has had his term in the city he is to be chained for a season.
WE have heard a good story of an Irishman who had a law suit not long since, in which a number of witnesses were in attendance and sworn. After the trial was over the plaintiff to the suit said, "Faith and be Jasus, and they all swore d—d lies but Pat and he swore just what I told him." Evidently Mike was well pleased with Pat's evidence.
IT IS not at all probable that the wheat crops in this State, this year, will be more than half what was expected, or half what it usually is. This is the report coming from the different parts of this county, and from all parts of the State, with few exceptions.
LAST night the police officers arrested a couple of females by tho name of Collier, who were found wandering about the streets, and to-day by the Mayor they were mulctcd in the sum of $6 each, which their mother promised to pay.
JAMES SPANN, on charge of druukenness, put in an appearance before the Mayor this morning, and was taxed in the sum of $7, which he guaranteed. A case of assault and battery was adjudicated, which made up the business of the Mayor's court this morning.
ENLARGED.—The Vincennes Sun has been enlarged. It is now in its 15th volume. It contains a great deal more reading matter, and "barring" its politics, is a good newspaper—politics abomnable.
MOVING small houses on wheels from one part of the city to another is of frequent occurrence of late. Yesterday one of these frame buildings was hauled past this office by six horses. It took any amount of hallooing.
THE prospect is that the State Fair will be a grand success. Of course the farmers, manufacturers, and mechanics of this county and city will see to it that both county and city are well represented.
IN the Court of Common Pleas this mornitig nothing important to the general readerwas^lone. Judgments by default, and a few motions by attorneys was all that was done. The court moves on slowly.

FORCE OF LOGIC.—The Journal of this morning has the following in regard to General Sheridan: "At latest accounts Sheridan was in France, and it is very reasonable to suppose his sympathies are there also."
It does not follow by any means that General Sheridan's sympathies are with France because he is there. During the whole of the war in this country against rebels, D. W. Voorhees was in the North, while it is a well known fact that his sympathies were with the South. What logic won't do.
THE Water Works Committee held a meeting at the'Mayor's office this afternoon, but at this writing no information of what they accomplished was had. It is understood, however, that it is the intention to visit some city having the Holly Water Works system before any report is made to the City Council. Probably Dayton wili be visited.
13Y reference to the Council proceedings, it will be seen that in future the State law prohibiting the retail of intoxicating liquors on the Sabbath is to be enforced. The resolution introduced by Mr. Dowiing, require the enforcement of the law by the officers and it is probable that an extra police force will bo called into requisition on Sunday, to enforce that law.

PARIS, August 17.—Dispatches received by Count Palialco, as he has officially an nounced, from the headquarters of the French army state that the Prussians yesterday relinquished their attempt to interrupt the French line of retreat, and to prevent a junction of the corps of McMa hon and Bazaine.
The Prussian army under Prince Frederick Charles after repeated and fruitless attempts upon the French line, have abandoned their attempt dislodge the French army and delay its movements. The Prussians are now retreating upon Commercy, southwesterly from Metz, after three or four sanguinary and well contested exigagements.
The Prussian army have suffered a serious check in their effort to pierce the French center. The new French army will be under the sole command of Marshall Bazaine and will co-operate with the army of the Rhine, by which it is ready to be supported. Marshall Mac Mahon reached Chalons Suremane on Friday.

The Times Assails Napoleon—It is for Peace—Intercourse with the Earl of Granville.
LONDON. August 17—Noon.—The Time3 continues to assail Emperor Napo leon, for what it terms his civil ambition in prosecuting the conflict with Prussia.
Its article this morning is a choice attack upon the Emperor. It declares that France is quivering with emotion, and passionately condemns the actual regime of dynasty, as it protests against foreign invasion. The justification of the Emperor passes away with the destruction of domestic peace and the supremacy abroad..
The Times also declares that it is the duty of the English ministry at the first possible moment to discover the common aim between the belligrents and the exact tenor of the pretensions of both.
The Times' article having thus ascertained the nature of the issues involved in the dispute between the two Powers now engaged in armed affray, tho immediate step of English Ambassadors should be to make the proper offers of meditation to the Sovereigns of both countries and cautiously bring them to an agreement.

Start the Plows.
Important advantages are gained by plowing stubble ground soon after the crop is taken off. The weeds and stubble will decay very rapidly during the hot weather, forming an excellent manure many weeds will be prevented from maturing their seeds, and the seeds that have remained dormant in the soil will be brought into a condition to germinate, so that they may be killed by the frost or by a later plowing. Another great advantage is that afresh stratum of soil is thrown to the surface to absorb the ammonia from the atmosphere, and to be acted upon by other gases floating in the air. It is a maxim with the best of farmers that stirring the soil enriches it, whether there be growing crops upon it or not—hence the plan of summer fallowing.
If stubble ground is plowed now rather shallow, again a little deeper about the tenth of September, and very deep about the twentieth of November—it would probably produce a better crop of corn than it would if it was left unplowed till spring and then a fair coat of manure applied.
We are aware that the scattered grain is of some importance, and many farmers commence fattening their hogs by turning them into the stubble field but with proper care in harvesting, there will be very little grain left on the ground, to justify the delay of the plow. If, however, poor machinery and careless workmen nave been employed during harvest, a horse-rake, working while the dew is on, will soon gather up all that is of any value, and it may be then fed to the hogs ad libttum.
But if, as we suggest, the first plowing be shallow, the hogs may be turned in, and they will find a portion, at least, of the grain that is plowed under, and enrich the soil by rooting it over. What the hogs do not obtain will grow and form a green crop to be plowed under in Sep tember.
Owing to the dry weather which some times prevails at the time and some weeks after harvest, it may be difficult to adopt this plan in all its details but it is very seldom that the ground is baked when the grain is cut, and if the plow is started immediately there will be no trouble from drouth.—St. Louis Journal of Agricul ture.
Havana Correspondence New York Tribune.
Outrages by Spanish Bandits in Cuba— A Husband's Horrible Revenge. Some time during the month of May, a party of five robbers appeared at a plantation, possessed themselves of several good horses, taking also various articles of clothing belonging to an American engineer on the plantation, and then disappeared. The engineer, who was in Havana at the time, became furious on his return, and indulged in severe threats against the perpetrators of the robberies. Some friend of the bandits communicated these threats to them, and in a few days they again appeared, took the engineer by surprise, tied him hand and foot, and then proceeded to lash him' with whips and thongs until the man had fainted three times from the loss of blood and pain. They then tied him up on a chair before his dwelling, and two of the number walked into the house and violated his wife. Since then the engineer has been almost a maniac and bent on revenge. Last Friday he received information that the two bandits were then at a neighboring plantation, and, without advising anybody of his intention, he armed himself and had the good fortune to find both of them lying on the floor ii\an inebriated condition.
To tie them up and rouse them sullicitntly to understand the situation, occupied but little time, and with the help of some negroes, he brought them to his own place, ordered fires to be lit, and then threw both of them into big sugar kettles filled with water which soon began to boil. The men lived fifteen to twenty minutes, until the water began to boil. Their attempts to throw themselves out of the kettles, and their demands for water and cries for pity, were heart-rending, but their executioner took a fiendish delight in throwing in occasionally a little cool water, which, however, in a moment began to boil again. At the end of five minutes both had ceased to exist. When the fact was mentioned to the Captain General, he remarked: "I don't wish to know it, and if such a thing has happened, I fully approve of it as a man, but as Captain General I have so far no knowledge of the matter. Beasts in human shape must be treated as beasts, although the punishment was inhuman and cruel." So the matter rests. The engineer has returned to the plantation, and swears not to rest till he has caught the other three.
Method of Assaying Gold.
At a recent meeting of the Wellington, New Zealand, Philosophical Society, a very interesting paper by Mr. Skey, of the Government Laboratory, was read. It was on a new method recently discovered by the writer for detecting the presence of gold in stone. Dr. Hector stated that the immense number of specimens of quartz which had recently been sent to him to be tested had rendered him desirous of finding some simple and rapid means of ascertaining the presence of gold. He had directed Mr. Skey's attention to the subject, and that gentleman, afttfr many experiments, had invented a method which fully met all requirements without the use of quicksilver.
The details of the system are briefly as follows: The stone having been thoroughly crushed and calcined so as to alter the chemical character of any sulphurous matters, is immersed in a bath of iodine or bromine, and after this has stood a time, slips of Swedish filtering paper are dipped into the fluid and dried, the alternate dipping and drying being continued until the paper is thoroughly saturated with the fluid. The dry slips are then burned in a muffle, and if no gold is present the ashes present a perfectly white appearance. If the stone, however, has contained gold at the rate of 1 cwt. to the ton, the ashes will be found to be a beautiful purple color. No other substance than gold will give them this color, and Dr. Hector stated that as soon as experiments had been made with iodine or bromine baths, containing a known quantity of gold in solution, it would be possible to compile a table of tints by which the color of the ashes would show the exact proportion of gold to the ton of stone tested. This discovery of Mr. Skey's may therefore be considered a very important one.

Special Dispatches to the Terre Haute Gazette
NEW YORK, August 16.—A private dispatch was received by a prominent gold broker at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-night reporting a battle between Verduon and Metz in which the Prussians are said to have been badly worsted. He says his dispatch states that the Prussian army retreated southward with a loss of 40,000 men. The broker seems to have every confidence in his information, as he at once proceeded to buy largely in gold.
Late in the day the decline in gold was recovered and the stock market sustained. The advance in government bonds remained stationary and were not affect ed by fluctuations in gold.
The money market was more active and the business on call was 4 to 6 per cent. The hardening tendency in rates of interest is due in some measure to the sympathy with the condition of mone tary affairs in other cities, and a fear that the banks may call in their loans of currency in Boston.
Money in good demand in Phila delphia it is reported stringent to-day-by private citizens, in New Orleans a positive pressure is existing, discounts are quoted 7 to 8 per cent, with very little business doing.
Private cable telegrams to leading bankers are unimportant and are still tinged with a strong Prussian coloring. These telegrams asserted that the engagement yesterday ended in favor of the Prussians that the French fortress Marsol had been captured that a revolution was imminent in Paris that growing hostility to the Bonaparte family caused tho Emperor to be very much dejected. Under this news the gold premium declined to one-fourth per cent, and the share list on Stock Exchange advanced to and per cent, with very limited transaction at the fluctuations.
