SKIFF & GAYLORD'S Albino Minstrels will hold forth at Dowling Hall on the evening of the loth inst. They will have an immense audience no doubt, as Skiff & Gaylord are known all over the county as giving one of the best minstrel entertainments of any company in the country. They will present an entirely new feature in minstrelsy this time, however, which will no doubt be a very interesting as well as novel one. The first appearance of the company on the stage will be in white when they will favor the audience with the usual opening exercises of minstrel clubs by singing and joking.

"WHAT'S IN A NAME."—Thereisaclass of men who are so anxious to obtain notoriety that they seek it in a name. If their parents were able to sive them more than name, they write but the initial of the first and give the second in full. Hence we have A. Jackson Smith G.Washington Jones J. Wesley Johnson M. Luther Sykes, &e., &c., all of which is unbearably green, to say the least, and denotes, in professedly literary men, unpardonable weakness. The world may tolerate such signatures when made by sophomores and greenies, but by literary men, never.

THE last invention of the enemy to place men in the power of women, is a new scarf with a string around the neck and a patent fastener, which no man, however good an engineer he is, can harness to himself without the aid of a woman. It takes fifteen minutes to put it on, and that time is used to koonodle, whatever that may be, the unsuspecting man out of a little money. A man who tried it says that it cost him a half dollar every morning that his wife arranges his scarf, and where a man has to depend on some other lady, a cousin or something, it is more costly still.

Franco-Prussian War.

RUX OVER BY CARS.—James Norris, night yard master of the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad at this place, was coupling cars this morning about four o'clock at the switch near the depot, making up a train. The engine was slowly backing the train and Norris was endeavoring to place the pin in position, at the same time keeping the motion of the train,until stepping into an opening where the two rails were slightly apart, his foot became fastened in such a manner that he could not disengage it and the wheels of the cars passed over the lower part of his lower limb crushing his right foot in a terrible manner, and breaking his left ankle. He was rescued from his perilous position in a fainting and exhausted condition and the services of Dr. Link secured, who dressed his wounds in the most skillful and satisfactory manner. Dr. Link is confident of saving the unfortunate man's limb, but thinks he will necessarily be lame for life.

FORGERS AND COUNTERFEITERS BEWARE !—Some time since we had occasion to call attention to the counterfeiting business, as carried ou by firms in New York who sent out circulars from that place to all parts of the country, offering, for a nominal consideration of good money, to send them a large sum of the "mysterious."

We are pleased to see that Congress is taking the matter in hand, Mr. Van Wyck having presented a bill at the recent session, providing that any person or persons printing or depositing in the postoffice, or causing to be so printed or deposited, or who shall have possession of, with intent to circulate, any circular, handbill or advertisement offering or purporting to offer for sale, or as gift, any false, forged or counterfeit Treasury notesf bonds, coupons or stamps or any fac similes of such, shall upon conviction be punished by imprisonment for a term of not less than one nor more than three years, and by a fine of not less than $100 nor more thau $5,000. This means business, and if passed and put into operation. will do much towards ridding the country of a great nuisance.

A HEAVY RESPONSIBILITY.—An insurance agent named Geo. W^. Miller, who makes Indianapolis and Springfield, 111., his home alternately, came to the National House in this city, sometime last fall in company with a young woman, and there took rooms, registering as man aud wife, or such is the report.

He afterwards placed her in the family of a man named Kapps, and who, we believe, resides on Swan street, between Sixth aud Seventh. In December- she was delivered of a child, and her name was found to be Sarah Raynolds, and her home in Illinois. She claimed that Miller was the father of the child.

A few days since Miller sent a communication to Mrs. R. that he would pass through the city on a certain day, and that he wished to see the young woman at the depot. They repaired to the depot at that time, accompanied by an officer, but he did not appear. Yesterday, Chief of Police Crowe, and Deputy Marshal Wolf, accompanied by Dr. Johnson, recognized him at the Terre Haute House, where he was busily engaged writing a letter, he having registered his name as Williams.

The gentlemanly officers accompanied him down town, when he was handed over to the Sheriff until this morning, when the parties met and after a

long

consultation, compromised by Miller taking the child, and payiug the ruined woman one hundred dollars and all her expenses, incident to the catastrophe.

To "give the devil his due," we will say that he appeared willing to do what was right about the matter, and to repair the terrible wrong he had done, though that wrong is of such a character that the atonement of a life cannot repair it.

the freight depots of the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad, the freight and passenger depots of the Toledo & Wabash road, and a number of dwelling houses in the vicinity. A portion of the roof of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis depot was blown off.

Nearly all the derricks and other appliances used in the construction of the bridge were torn from their places and blown into the river. &

Everything in a width of from two to three hundred yards was actually torn to pieces. A whole train of cars, including a thirty tun locomotive, was

ALBANY, March 9.—The testimony for the defense was commenced in the Filkins case yesterday, and consisted chiefly in evidence of the honesty and good character of the prisoner.

Aaron Richardson testified that he was in Scott's store at the time the pistol was purchased, and stated that he was satisfied that the man making the purchase was not Filkins that he had known Filkins for along time, and was certain it was not him.

John Clark testified that he was in the store the same day, day before the robbery, but could not say positively what day that was, and saw Richardson there at the time the pistol was being loaded and sold.

Other witnesses testified that they had paid Filkins for bread in large amounts of fractional notes. This evidence was given to account for his having a large amount of this kind of currency on his person when arrested.
