PRONE
TO
EXAGGERATE.—The rural
press is prone to exaggerate,. and being aware of this fact we are disinclined to believe the stories concerning four-legged chickens, horned frogs, three-legged hogs, four-eyed cats, and other exaggerated specimens of zoology, that are now to le found ill every country newspapers in the State. The next specimens of zoology we expect to hear of are country editors with two faces, but we must admit that would not be an exaggeration.
THE Terre Haute GAZETTE complains of the druukenness and rowdyism which aredisplayed in that city on Sundays, and wants to know if there is no remedy. What did the great Republican triumph at the late municipal election amount to if this sort of thing is to exist ?—Indianapolis
ASentinel.
The Republican administration of police affaire only goes iuto effect to-day.
MARRIED.—In
the. Congregational
Church of this city, on'Tuesday evening, May 10th, 1871, bv the Rev. E. Frank Howe, James H. Murry, of Indianapolis, and Miss Sattie Early, of this city.
Jim, you have made an Early start in the right way and I fyjpe that happiness and prosperity will continue with you through life.—Express. "The early bird catches the worm."
IF XOT, WHY XOT ?—Why can't our merchants agree to hire one, two or three special police? It seems to us that the movement would be a good one, for they would thus be the better insured against burglars. It will be almost impossible for the present force or any like number of men to guard against the property of our citizens as it should be, from the inroads of burglars and petty thieves, as there is entirely too much territory to be looked after by so small a body of men.
POCKET PICKED.—Last night at the billiard match, Harry Taylor, a restaurant keeper of this city, had his pocket dexterously "gone through" to the extent of $45, by some professional, who "did the job" after the latest approved style. No clue lias been obtained as to whom the "light-fingered gentleman"(?) was who did the business. Harry would, no doubt, like to "dish him out a square meal" at his restaurant, with about a couple of ounces of arsenic in it, whoever he was. Such a tragic fate would but properly end the days of all such scoundrels in this mundane sphere.
IN SEARCH OF CAR 289.—Day before yesterday, a very amusing spectacle was witnessed at the depot in this city. An individual, evidently hailing from the rural district, bought a ticket at the ticket office of the Vandalia Line at the Union Depot, which was duly numbered 289, for Brazil. He then went in search of car 2s9, thinking the number on his ticket represented the number of the car that he was to occupy. He rushed frantically about the depot asking every one he met where he could find car 2S9, and finally jostling against an employee of the road, and making the inquiry of him, he was informed that they didn't have quite that many cars on that train, but told him that for the present he might ride in thatone, [designating the smoking car.] The proposed passenger with the ticket representing car 2S9, very reluctantly entered therein just as the train started mumbling that "he'd be gol darned if thar wem't something wrong some what'."
STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. —The Railroad Secretary of the State Sunday School Convention Rev. E. F. Howe, issues the following card

A MAMMOTH ESTABLISHMENT—AN ELEGANT STOCK OF GOODS.—We took a look through the magnificent dry goods establishment of Messrs. Warren, Hoberg & Co., located in the large and beautiful corner room in the mammoth Opera House Block. The first attraction to the eye of the passer-by are the artistically arranged show windows, which is certain to lead any one in want of any thing in the dry goods line, iuto the establishment, where they will be treated with the utmost courtesy, and receive the most prompt attention from the corps of gentlemanly salesmen who are ever ready to exhibit the iuexhaustable quantity and endless variety of goods in their respective lines. The establishment is divided off into
splendid departments, consisting
of silk and dress goods, shawls and cloaks, embroidery and lace, domestic, linen and dry goods. In each and every department they keep the largest assortment, finest variety and fullest stock of goods that the best Eastern markets afford. In short, the establishment throughout is not excelled in the West, and is an honor to our city. See their advertisement in another column, and then go and see if this is exaggeration.

[Special Dispatches to the Terre Haute Gazette.] PARIS, May 10.—The Commune announces the repulse of several attacks made by the Versailles troops on Monday night at Chatillon, Monte Pierre and Loulin Saquet.
There was a vigorous engagement in the evening, extending from Porte Dauphin to Maillot gate, in which the Versailles troops were repulsed with great loss.
It is rumored that Fort Montrogue has been evacuated by the Federal forces.
The Commune holds a well armed force of 20,0(X) men in reserve for a case of emergency.
An immense crowd arrived this afternoon in the vicinity to witness the expected fall of the column in the Place Vendome. Great efforts have been made by the Communist engineers to tear the column from its base, but it has as yet withstood their utmost exertions. The engineers have not, however, given up hope of success, and are now renewing their attempts. Members of the Commune and battalions of the National Guard are on the ground.
VERSAILLES, May 1.—The Assembly to-day voted the urgency of a motion for rebuilding the residence of Thiers in Paris, at the public expense.
A motion declaring the Republic permanent, was referred to a committee. Prayers were ordered in all the churches for the cessation of the civil war.
Grevy was elected President of the Assembly. PARIS, May 16.—'The Commune to-day split into two factions, each at open war with the other.
The Versaiilists have effected three practicable breaches, and massed huge number of troops within five hundred yards of the ramparts. The destruction of life and property by the bombardment in the American quarter to-day was fearful.
VERSAILLES, May 16.—The cannonade of the encients of Paris continues uninterruptedly.
The Assembly to-day appointed a committee to examine and report upon the treaty of peace negotiated at Frankfort. It is generally expected that the cession of French territory provided for in the treaty will be seriously criticised in the Assembly.
PARIS, May 10.—The Communists made a sortie last night, meeting the Versaiilists strongly, posted in Bois du Boulogne, but were forced to retreat with a heavy loss.
BERLIN, May 10.—A bill has been passed by the German Parliament forbidding the raising of loans by means of lotteries, except in case of the various German Governments.
WASHINGTON, May 17.—The subject of the premature disclosure of the Treaty of Washington is more talked of here than any other, and the opinion prevails among many Senators and others that the committee having the investigation as to the conduct of Senators with regard to the publication of the treaty have no right to require correspondents to answer further iu regard to the source of their information. It is expected that the Tribune's correspondents will be reported to the Senate to-day, and if they still refuse to answer questions that body will decide what their punishment shall be.
Ferry,
of Connecticut, and Logan, of
Illinois, took seats for the first time this session. Brownlow, of Tennessee, Johnson, of Virginia, and Kellogg, of Louisiana, are absent from the city. There are three vacancies, one from Georgia, one from Alabama, and one from North Carolina.
After prayer and the reading of the journal, Mr. Buckingham offered a resolution, which was agreed to, requesting the President, if not inconsistent with the public interest, to communicate copies of all correspondence in the State Department in relation to the ship HucN son and the schooner Washington, the property of citizens of Connecticut, seized by the British authorities in Falkland Islands, in 1854, and also the report of Lieutenant Lynch, or other naval officers, on file iu the Navy Department, on the same subject.
On motion of Mr. Cameron, the Senate went into executive session. Mr. Carpenter made a report from the select committee appointed to investigate how and by whom the treaty of Washington and other recent proceedings in executive session of the Senate, were made public. The report states the Z. L. White testified, last night, that he was correspondent of the New York Tribune, and he transmitted by telegraph, last Wednesday night, what purports to be a copy of the treaty, and which was published Thursday morning. He obtained the copy about ten o'clock Wednesday night, but declined to say from whom, not, however, upon inability on his part to answer, but because he was under honorary obligations not to do so, aud that he came to the examination with the fixed purpose not to divulge how
HAUTE DAILY
he obtained the treaty. H. J. Ramsdell, assistant correspondent of the Tribune, testified that the copy was in writing, which was copied from print, but declined to say in whose possession he first saw the printed copy, who obtained it, or what was paid for it, and gave the same reasons for his refusal to answer as stated by Mr. White. The committee decide these as proper questions. The reasons given for refusing to answer are not valid, and therefore recommend that the Senate adopt resolutions directing the Sergent-at-arms to forthwith arrest White and Ramsdell and bring them before the bar of the Senate, and that they be detained until they answer for their contempt in the matter, and abide such further orders as the Senate may make.
When the report was submitted, an animated debate occurred, lasting more than four hours, after which the resolution in reference to White was adopted, by yeas 42, nays 15.
The resolution concerning Ramsdell was adopted by yeas 38, nays 15. The vote was the same as on the preceding resolution, with the exception that Senators Hill, Morrill of Maine, Pomeroy and Windam, who had voted yea on the first resolution!, did not vote at all on the second.
The Senate, at twenty minutes of five o'clock, adjourned. Iu accordance with the terms of the resolutions adopted, warrants have been issued for the arrest of White and Ramsdell, by the Sergeant-at-Arms, to be severally brought to the bar of the Senate.
About two millions of $100,000 bonds of the new loan, and six millions of registered bonds of the denomination of $10,000, are now ready for distribution. The smaller bonds will bo completed in a day or two.
The Secretary of the Treasury has decided in relation to the redistribution of $54,000,000 of ijational bank circulation, that the whole amount must be reserved for the exclusive use of Southern and Western States.
NEW YORK, May IS—Monday morning a train from Jamaica, consisting of two passenger cars, a milk car and two flats, loaded with baled hay, took fire near Clarenceville, the hay being ignited by sparks from the engine. The entire train was destroyed. The greatest excitement prevailed among passengers, but none were injured.
The Sun says again, yesterday morning It is now generally believed that the contract between Gould, Fisk and Commodore Vauuerbilt, for the transfer of the control of the Erie Railroad, has been definitely concluded. Both parties to the transaction have made, and are still making, every effort to keep it secret, but its extraordinary nature and magnitude make further concealment impossible. It is claimed by the friends of the Erie party that the present management has been compelled to its recent action by the suicidal attacks of foreign stockholders, who serve as catspaws for a combination of speculators and legal sharks, which has so long preyed npon this unforiuuate corporation. Gould, it appears, would never have abandoned the idea of running the Erie in competition with the other trunklines but for the fact that his health has been so seriously affected by the incessant labors of the two years that his physicians have united in insisting upon his relieving himself from all business anxieties for a while. The disastrous diminution of the receipts of the road, occasioned by the existing coal strike, added largely to the embarrassment under which the corporation is laboring. Scott, of the Pennsylvania Central, Jay, of the Michigan Central, and others, are reported to have made liberal offers for the control of the Erie, but Vanderbilt finally succeeded in effecting an arrangement by virtue of which the Erie will be reorganized and incorporated with the lines already under his iron rule. It is confidently predicted by parties who are supposed to have good opportunity of finding out, that as soon as the new arrangement is officially announced there will be a large increase of Central stock, which may have the effect of placing the Erie on a par.
HARTFORD, May 17.—Theweather has been fine for the inauguration ceremonies, and the military display was quite imposing. The streets were thronged with thousands of people to witness the parade.
Governor Claflin aud staff, of Massachusetts, Governor Perham aud staff, of Maine, Governor Fairchild, of JWiscon-1 sin, rode in the procession in carriages, escorted by a body of mounted Connecticut officers, commanded by General Hawley.
The Legislature assembled at half-past two o'clock. Governor Jewell took the oath of office, and read the inaugural message.
ST. LOUIS, May 17.—The Grand Lodge of the Order of Odd Fellows, of the State of Missouri, convened in annual session here yesterday. Reports show the Order to b« in a flourishing condition. Twenty-one new Lodges have been organized during the year number of contributing members in the State, 10,032 amount in treasury, $3,592 investments, §194,420 total assets, $231,493 revenue, $78,709 paid for relief of brothers, $13,139 paid for relief of widowed families, $5,827 paid for education of orphans, $2,778 paid for burying dead, $3,559 total relief fund, $25,577.
CINCINNATI, May 17.—The loss of Mills,
Johnson &
Co., in the fire Monday
night, can not be fully ascertained, owing to much stock being covered in the debris. It is supposed to be not less than $200,000, upon which there is insurance to the amount of $124,000. /i
Building Nos. 22 and 24, Sycamore street, in which the fire originated, is a total loss, only the walls being left. Insured for $83,000. It was owned by A. J. Wolf. v.
MR. AUBERSON HERBERT, the young Englishman who, while violently exposed to being an Earl, has just made a sensation in both aristocratic and Democratic circles, by declaring his readiness for the deluge of Republicanism in England after Queen Victoria, is less than thirty years old, remarkably handsome, a fine speaker and a scholarly liberal thinker. Young Mr. Herbert has good blood, as well as aristocratic in his veins, being descended on one side from Sir Philip Sidney, and on the other from the poet George Herbert and philosopher Lord Herbert.

A Good Example Followed. A new Peabody has arisen in England, with the difference that he has not at present revealed his name. Some time ago a gentleman stated that he was prepared to extend £150,000 in the erection of a lunatic asylum for the benefit of the lower middle class. He is now proceeding to carry out that purpose, and has publicly intimated that he is prepared to devote to public and useful purposes a sum equal to that given by Mr. Peabody, so soon as he can satisfy himself as 'to the best means of effecting this, so as to do the greatest public good, and to avoid the risk of pauperizing classes who might not in their present position be eligible recipients in public opinion for such a gift.

HAIR VIGOR. AYJER'S
A I I O
For the Renovation of tlie Hair! Hie Great Desideratum of the Age
A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss ana freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.

TO THE TRADE.
In returning my thanks to the trade for their liberal patronage in the past, and soliciting a continuance of the same, I beg leave to state that, having made extensive addition to my works, and increased facilities, I am now prepared to till orders with promptness and dispatch.
The VINEGAR which I manufacture from cider and distilled spirits is entirely PURE, and FREE FROM ALL MINERAL ACIDS OR OTHER POISONOUS INGREDIENTS SO FREQUENTLY USED IN ITS MANUFACTURE. It is both clear and of beautiful color, and made from the best and most wholesome material. I warrant it to keep pickles both clear and fresh for years, thus making their consumption not only agreeable, but healthy.
Owing to the popularity and increasing demand for my Vinegar, I shall hereafter, for the better protection of myself and my trade, In addition to my well-known brands, use also a '•TRADE MARK," and all persons are hereby cautioned against using the same, and I shall prosecute any and all parties so doing to the full extent of the law. Country merchants can obtain my brands of
Pure Cider, White Wine, Double and Triple Yinegar,
Of any of the Wholesale Grocers of the city. Having been established but compara'ively a short time, I yet have, by the manuiaoture of a superior article, created a demand which has warranted me in the erection of the largest works of its kind to be found in the United States, and having the same now thoroughly systematized, I am enabled not only to give a better and purer, but also a cheaper article to the public than any other known manufacturer. Price list furnished on application.
