NEWS SUMMARY.

Quoen "Victoria pays liberal pensions to seventeen year old servants of Prince Albert in Germany.

John Adams, a former Mayor of Pittsburg, has been arrested for passing counterfeit money.

A. M. McCurdy, the Mt. Gilead, Ohio, malthusianist, has been tried and acquitted for killing his son.

Mrs. Judge Esther Morris, of Wyoming Territory, is said to be having a brisk run of marrying business. "n

John Leigliton, a Boston broker, has been lined $500 for reporting his income at §40,000, when it was §180,000.

The Prussians having captured a railroad train at Sevils, travel in that direction stops immediately.

Miss Maggie Lyons, of Dcs Moines, joined a buffalo hunting party, and killed a magnificent old bull with a shot from her carbine. That beats Kate Field's deer.

Weston is to walk half a mile backward at an Eastern agricultural horse trot. A precipice in the line of travel would enhance the interest in the performance.

In Detroit, a follow who has always pretended that his name was Pfannenschmidt, killed his wife with a bread-knife, hung himself with a bridle, and was set upon by a Coroner named Gnau.

A Texas man has been cured of the bite of a tarantula by the copious use of Robertson County whisky. The wound healed Hp in two days on the third day tho man expired of delirium tremens.

The French have uselessly destroyed all the works of art on the highways and railroads leading out of Paris, Notwithstanding the wholesale destruction of property the advance of the Prussian army has not been delayed a single hour.

Tho Journal says the docks at Havre, are overstocked with cotton, coffee, grain and other goods. Even mahogany is being loaded rapidly on French vessels for shipment elsewhere, to save it from the Prussians.

A violent controversy is going on among the newspapers in Madrid in regard to the recall of tho French Minister. He was recalled by the Ministers for having exceeded his instructions. Republicans, however, defend him for having recognized the Republic.

It is reported that tho foreign office has Bismark's reply to the demand of Jules Favre for an armistice. Bismark says there are questions yet to be settled with Franco before a suspension of hostilities is possible.

There is a curious rumor of the escape of Marshal Canrobfcrt from Metz, and of his advance upon Sedan and Meizeres, menacing Rheims, Laon and the Prussian flank. It is ot expected the Prussians will attempt, for some days, to begin the serious bombardment of the works of Paris.

The President has accepted tho resignation of Lieutenant Gustavo Von Blucher, of the Ninth United States Infantry, a grand-nephew of Marshal Blucher, of Waterloo fame, and it is understood he will go to Gormany to accept a commission in the Prussian infantry.

Tho Bloomfield (Iowa) Republican says that an unnatural father in Davis County had his twelve-year-old son arrested, last week, and incarcerated in the County Jail on a charge of stealing grapes! Tho boy's theft consisted in his plucking a few bunches of his father's grapes, and actually oating them.

It is reported that the railroad trains leaving Paris yesterday were attacked and captured by tho Prussians. Several passengers on board were killed and wounded. After to-day communication with Paris will bo uncertain. All the regular troops, as well as the French Turcos, have left Paris to oppose the movements of the Prussian army ot the Loire.

Tho IPorfcTs correspondent telegraphs: It does not appear that the Prussians are in any great force directly before Paris. Their main body seems to bo stretched in a semi-circle from about Villiers Cotterets, on the northeast, to Melun and Fontainebleau, on the southeast of Paris, and from Chateau Thierry, in the rear of Meaux, to Providence, ou the railroad to Tours. The result of the refusal of Soissons to surrender certainly embarrasses their operations for a time.

A Philadelphia paper finds that the city ate nine thousaud. more beeves this year than last, but mentions a ''dropping off a little on hogs."

AN Illinois minister walked two miles to marry a couple, and the happy man urged him to accept a silver penholder and a banquet as liis fee.

Additional Local News.

ATTENTION is called to the advertisement of Foster Brothers in to-day's issue They have goods to sell and are not afraid to let folks know it.

IN all the towns and cities in this State where the census returns have been made known, there is a general dissatisfaction, and in many of them it is proposed to have the census taken over again. It is not fair to lay all the blame of the smallness in the number of population, on the census takers, most of them have done their best, no doubt.

THE following in regard to the popula tion ofVincennes, we clip from the Sun of that ancient city. It was settled by the French in the same year Philadelphia was settled, we believe: "Census returns, received at the U. S. Marshal's office, show the population of Vincennes to be only 5,465! Considerable shrinkage! But we have the consolation that other large cities have also been cut down in the same proportion.

A YOUNG Democrat, who has still a "reason for the faith within him," says that the "funeral ceremonies" in the Fourth Ward last night at the Democratic meeting were premature—were but a sac rilegious mockery. He protests against a repetition of the "tolling" of the bell on such occasions, and says it sounds too much like a doleful noise he expects to listen to after the second Tuesday in October. No more of that sort of music for him, until after the election.

STARTLED.—Many people in the 4th Ward, and in the northern part of the city, were startled at the "tolling" of the Engine house bell last night, and many have been the inquiries this morning as to the cause. By many it was supposed that the novelty of a "funeral procession" at the hour of eight o'clock at night was taking place, but in that they were mistaken. It was only a Democratic meeting.

DANGEROUS PET.—Tom Langford has in his show window a rattle snake that measures four feet and three inches, and has eight rattles and a button on its tail. It attracted the attention of many who passed his store to-day. Persons who have a desire to study "snakeology" can have a chance to do so, but we rather be excused. Have a holy horror for snakes of all kinds, always had—or, at least have had—well, ever since that serpent so cruelly deceived "mother Eve."

INDIANA ASBURY UNINERSITY.—A Greencastle paper of Thursday says, The Fall Term of Asbury University commenced yesterday, with a larger attendance than at the same time of any term in the previous history of the Institution. The new students are also older and better advanced than usual. At the same time work on the new University building is progressing satisfactorily, so that it may be said Asbury is in a highly prosperous condition.

MEETING AT LOCKPORT.—The basket meeting at Lockport yesterday was a grand success. There was a large attendance of voters, and it was quite an enthusiastic affair. B. Wilson Smith led off in an excellent speech, which was listened to with the greatest attention, and deepest interest, from beginning to end. He was followed by Col. Baird, and he by W. W. Curry, who spoke of the Democratic party as it wa3, as it is, and as it would be if in power. It was a good day for the Republicans of that township, and they were much encouraged and edfijed by the speeches made, and have the greatest confidence in the success of the ticket throughout. Those basket meetings have proven quite successful this season.

The Proscribed in Power.

What Galileo said in a whisper, we may proclaim on the house tops, E pur ei muove—the world moves, after all. Not this solid and substantial globe of earth, whose stability the obstinate pliilosoper denied, but the social and political world, whose cycles are set in the heaven of freedom, and whose central sun is truth. France is no longer the political center of Europe, but is still what it has been for three generations, the central reservoir of revolutionary impulse—the restless, throbbing heart of the Continent. A principle which rules there is felt from the Mediterranean to the Arctic Sea—a success of the democratic principle there heralds the death-knell of feudalism, and the enfranchisment of half a dozen nations. The world views them, with no common curiosities, and awaits, from varied motives, with no little anxiety, the issue of the republican experiment which we have just seen inaugurated. The proven hollowness of the Empire has more than justified the severity with which every member of the ruling Eleven has at one time or other assailed it, and which the proscribed of '48, whose voices are, to-day, in France as those of an oracle, have, with a fervor still^more intense, re-echoed. Yet neither Victor Hugo nor Ledru-Rollin have shown any disposition to treat their countrymen to a mere infliction of the self-gratulation which results from being able to say, "We told you so." Exiled beyond any apparent hope of return, they have not ceased to remember they are Frenchmen, and in the hour of their country's extremest need, they have but one thought—and that is for her salvation. Nor can the most unfriendly critic detect, amid the manly and patriotic appeals of Gen. Trochu, any reference to the appalling confirmation which late events have furnished to his criticism on the French military system—a criticism which threw him into a disgrace from which nothing but supreme national necesity could have rescued him.—NewYork Times.

This Morning's News.

The Rumor Credited that Count Bismarck has Agreed to an Armistice.

The Occupation of Metz, Strasbourg and the Camp at Chalons the Terms.

The Prussians Fall Back Before the French near Paris.

The Bight Hon. Rev. Lowe on the War.

[Special Dispatches to the Terre Haute Gazette.] LONEON, September 16.—A report has reached here this evening and gains con siderable credence, that Count Bismark has agreed to the proposed armistice, the terms being the occupation of Metz Strasbourg, and the Camp at Chalons by the German forces.

The latest intelligence received from Paris states that the French troops stationed at Vineennes, 4 miles east of the city, made a reconnoisance in force in the direction of Joinville and Lepont this morning. The Prussians who had been energetically engaged in burning and destroying at the last mentioned place, has tily retreated before the advance of the French troops. The Germans are massing their forces between the Rilloye on Rossny and Chuneton on the environs of Paris, 80,000 French regulars are opposed to this force.

LONDON, Sept. 16.—The Right Hon. Rev. Lowe, Chancellor of the Exchequer, addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting in Elgin, Scotland, to-day in relation to the present war now claiming the attention of all Europe. That the policy of the English Government was that (^interested spectators would lend in its advices and mediation with -a view to a peaceful settlement of the present difficulty when requested to do so by either of the parties engaged in the conflict. Beyond this long established ..English policy, the government could not go, or had the English Cabinet any apprehension that by any possible circumstances, could England be drawn into the quarrel between France and Prussia.

MONTREAL, September 16.—The visitors at this city, to witness the International boat race, are leaving very fast.

The dominion people are all greatly disappointed over the result of the race. NEW YORK, September 16.—The agent of the French line of steamers, plying between New York and Havre, received a dispatch this afternoon from Paris, directing the detention of the steamer Lafayette, which was to have sailed to-mor-row, not to allow her to depart till Thursday next. The Lafayette mails were to have been closed at 10 o'clock tomorrow. The conjecture rife, regarding the strange movement, which is said being in obedience to the new Frencn Government.

The agent is reticent as to the reasons for the delay. As a blockade in the Baltic has raised, and the Prussian fleet thus liberated, the .inference is that it will be immediately transferred to Havre, Bordeaux, Marseilles and other French ports, and these blockaded.

The Secretary of the Navy, has ordered the United States steamer Courcer, now in the Brooklyn_Navy Yard, to be in readiness to proceed to Portsmouth, to convey Farragut's remains to this city, whenever the municipal authorities has determined on the day of obsequies.

NEW YORK, September 16.—The following intelligence has been received: PORTO COBELLO, VENEZUELA, August 18.—A Dutch frigate of 45 guns arrived here recently and made demand upon Blanco for $80,000 compensation for loss sustained by the Dutch residents. Upon being told by Blanco that he had no money to satisfy the demand, the commander of the frigate threatened to bombard the town. Blanco anticipated the carrying out of the threat at once, and secretly began the removal of the ammunition to the fort.

The commander being made aware of this, he, in conjunction with the master of an English gun-boat, which was present to watch the interest of the British, thereupon, commenced action to seize all the guns and ammunition. He left an order to avoid the alternative of destroying private property in the town, the greater portion of which was owned by German residents, which they intended seizing all the guns and ammunition at Laguyra also.

On the arrival here of the news of the war between France and Prussia, the French steamer challenged the Prussian gunboat Meteor to come out and fight, but being unevenly matched, the challenge was not accepted. The French steamer then left for one of the French West India islands.

Mr. Dunn at Roscdale.

Editor of the Gazette: The meeting on yesterday at this place was a success. Mr. Dunn commenced speaking about 2 o'clock P. M., and held the audience for about two hours, making one of the best political speeches that it has been our fortune to listen to for many years. The meeting was not so large as that of Mr. Voorhees, held near this place a short time since, but much more orderly, every lady and gentleman sitting still until he was through.

We are of the opinidn that the speech gave entire satisfaction to the Republicans present, and that the vote of the party will be given for him solid at the election in this locality. Mr. Dunn went from this to Mecca last evening, where we understand he had a good crowd of enthusiastic hearers. You need not be uneasy about Old Parke, as she will give a vote that will tell the tale on the day of the election, sure. RACCOON VALLEY.

ROSED ALE, Sept. 16,1870.

Republic and King.

The war news to-day decides nothing The Prussians are continuing their advance the Parisians are continuing their preparation for defence. The new Republic is distinctly pledged to continue the war. The probability is that if the Provisional Government had resolved on any other course it would have been swept out of the way. The people helped to force on the war at first, and they still demand jAts prosecution. At present no temptations have been held out to them to make peace. The King of Prussia makes no sign. The story comes this morning that Bismarck does not want Alsace and Lorraine, and that the English papers have much exagerated his expectation. Bat Bismarck is not the man to disclose his plans to any but those who have the best right to be made acquainted with them. The North German Correspondent is a much better authority than those pretended interviewers, and it lends no support to the theory that Germany will retire from this conflict without any acquisitions of territory.

There can be but very little doubt that if the King of Prussia could have had the ordering of matters, Louis Napoleon would have escaped. The capture of the ex-Emperor was very like that of Jefferson Davis. No one wanted the prisoner. His arrest made no existing difficulty less troublesome than it was before. In the case of the Emperor, the conquering party would have been better off without liim. While the Empire lasted, the undivided sympathies of every free people were with the Germans. But it is extremely awkward to fulminate against a people who are themselves struggling to be free. Republics, at any rate, ought not to war against Republics. Prussia—we will not say Germany—lost an important moral advantage when Napoleon surrendered. And of what good is he? Who wanted him It will be exceedingly difficult to dispose of him when the war is over. England gained ho credit by keeping the First Napoleon in perpetual captivity, and Prussia can scarcely desire to have the honor of supporting the Third Napoleon "in a manner befitting his dignity"—which appears Jto be the order given by the King of Prussia thus far. He was worth more to Prussia while he acted as a scape-goat for all the failures of French commanders.—N. Y. limes.

Franz has concluded not to sink another well. "Mr. Haskell having dug to the depth of sixty feet, as per contract, and finding no Avater, arrangements were made to bore two hundred feet. On Tuesday afternoon, last, water was struck at fifteen feet from the bottom of the well, and so fast did it flow that work was suspended. There is now about eighteen feet in the well."

The Tonica Register has the following in relation to a flowing well near Mount Palatine: "We are informed there is a flowing well on the farm of Harlev Cooper, three miles southwest of Mount Palestine. An old well, sixteen feet deep was dry, and a two-incn augur hole was bored from the bottom to the depth of eight feet, when the water came in from the hole so rapidly that the well was completely filled in less than half an hour. The well is now full and is discharging water from the top."

JOLIET has just completed an artesian well, finding an abundant supply of water at a depth of 450 feet. The Signal says the water can be made to rise fifty feet above the surface, and that there is enough to run a small saw-mill.
