Additional Local News.

A. H. DOOLEY has just received Nast's illustrated Almanac for 1872. It ia well worthy of perusal, and we would advise our readers to secure a copy of Mr. Dooley, laugh and grow fat.

THIS frosts of another winter are about to add to our fleeting years.— Madison Courier.

Your years might be added to without very serious inconvenience, but your ears could not.

THE Indianapolis evening Journal contains the following: The "Modern Moscow" is the popular name for Chicago, just now. The name is not inappropriate, as, according to the ver sion of a little German nirl, it was a kick from "Ma's cow" that made all the trouble.

hales a subtler magnetism.—Louisville Commercial. The editor of the Golden Age knows something about "subtler magnetism," we should judge by perusing his biogra phy of Vic. Woodjiull. It may be that "a recent correspondent" has been there.

HEAVY Loss.—A former Indiana lawyer of great distinction, but now one of the greatest railroad lawyers of the country, named Harry Crawford, lost a twelve thousand dollar library in Chicago, which be has been accumulating for years. No insurance whatever. We believe that Mr. Crawford was formerly from White county, this State.

WE were mistaken yesterday when we stated that Rev. James Hill's son, Robert, was a real estate dealer of Chicago. He is a lawyer by profession, and only lost a valuable library. He accompanied his father to this city, but is now at Evansville eugaged in the trial of a very important suit in the Vanderburgh Cie^ cuit Court. It is Robert's brother and brother-in-law who are the real estate dealers of Chicago.

LAGGARDS.—The Madison Ctounerhits close to the mark when it says that ""truancy is the first step towards crime, the beginning of vice. Although there have beeu no loud complaiuts by the

School Trustees in this city, the best servioe public-spirited men and women dan render the Republic and (he race to see that every boy and girl itetween the age of six dricf fifteen attend some school reuularly, and early, .too." In the GAZKTTE of yesterday we published.thtf number of tardy scholars in our city schools during the month of September, and really it was astonishing. It is not only a great annoyanoe to the teachers who certainly have enough to annoy them, to have their students coming in after school has been called, but it is a positive injury to the soholar, throu^ life. It is thus that they learn to lag in ways of business which characterizes them all through a business life. Children, see that you are at the school room each day when your teacher calls school, and you will be the happier for it. Parents see to this.

THE Express, of t^is morning, gives a short account of a murder Which occurred eight miles below Centerville, in thi« county, a week ago last Sunday, in which "a man named Black shot another name Wid White, a cousin of the man who shot Dr. Williams, at Centerville a few weeks since. The ball took effect in the abdomen, from the effects of «wbich White died on Monday. The "trouble arose In this way: White went to Black's house, in the latter's absence, for a bucket of water. The well was nearly dry and Black's wife endeavored to prevent him from taktog !t Abusive language was used by both, and when

Black returned home on Saturday evening, hi^ wife told him of the ^difficulty. Next morning Black went over to White's^houae, called him out, a few words passed, and then Black cooly drew his revolver and fired.

THEODORE THOMAS' CONCERT.—On Wednesday, Oct. 25th, we shall have the greatest musical event this city ha* ever known, when the world renowned orchestra of Theodore Thomas make their first appearance. This company is composed of sixty distinguished performers, among whom are the following celebr^ted Mrs. Marie Krebs, the young and brilii tnt pianiite Mr. Listeniaun,' 'violfti/ Mr. lJierr, Violoncello, Mr. Scienter, cornet, 0igi\Qr Rocoo, harp. This great orchestra was so have opened Crosby Opera House, Chicago, on Monday the 9th. The receipts for the season, sold in advance, were over eight thou~sand dollars, .which shows the estimation of the public of that ill-fated city. The programme will be very brilliant and is arranged-to suit the tastes of all. This will b&a ffeat that all will regret who fail to attend. The sale of seats will commence on Saturday morning, at Cox's book store. The following is from the Art Journal, New York:

The brilliant summer season of 1871 is drawing rapidly to a close, the present being the last week but one of the popular ana beautiful summer nights^ concerts and the Thomas' superb orchestra. These two weeks, however, will offer a special and irresistible attraction, so that the close of the season will exceed even the opening in brilliancy. The new attraction consists in an addition to the orchestra. The public thought, all through the summer, that Thomas' orohestra could sjot be improved but he has added perfume to tne roses, by increasing his orchestra one-fifth, the addition being chiefly to the stringed instruments, thus strengthening the .weakest part and securing a splendid balance throughout. This is the orchestra which Mr. Thomas is going to take with him through the country and we are privileged to listen to it for two whole weeks 5

It Is admitted by all' who have visited Europe recently, that there is no instrumental organization, either in England or on the Continent, to compare with Thomas' orchestra, either as regards the

fierfection

of its ensemble or the surpass-

npf excellence of its orchestral solotsts. We believe that this flattering judgment Is fnlly sustained by facts, and that America can boast of an orchestra that can challenge the world.

Our readers shonld bear in mind that this and next week will afford the only chances of bearing this magnificent orchestra Ibr rnany months to come.

AN INTOLERABLE NUISANCE.—We noticed upon last evening a peripetetic peanut boy perambulating about in the Opera House, with avi«w of disposing of his stock on hand to the audience. Now, this is an in tolerable nuisance, and should be stopped at once by the management if they would maintain the beauty of their grand and gorgeous thespian temple, and protect their patrons from thejntolerabie nuisance of bitting In the vicinity of a vast heap of peanut hulls during an entertainment, as they would only expect to do in the varieties*. The Opera House is too beautiful a building to oe made a pig pea of that "Peter's"eofferftmMr 8weil to the mammoth dlmemtionsof his htad.

MR. W. S. ROOSE, late of the Terre Haute House, yesterdav entered upon his duties as day clerk at the National Hotel. In his change of base the Prairie City has lost a genial citizen, but it must be re membered that Indianapolis offers superior attractions to gentlemen of a goaheadative disposition.—Indianapolis

tinel. In all of which we agree with the Sentinel man but the last part of the last paragraph, where he allude-' to the SU' perior attractions of Indianapolis to gentlemen of a go-aheada£ive disposition. 4

VAN AMBURGH & Co's GREAT GOLDEN MENAGEKIE. The following opinion from the Milwaukee Sentinel, in speaking of the visit to that city of this popular caravan, is veiy flattering: "We had so often been misled by the gaudy bills and blowing endorsements of showmen, that we were wholly unprepared for the grand display of Van Am hurgh's Menanerie on its arrival in this city yesterday forenoon. Front the beautiful chariot of the band to the tent wagon of the extensive caravan, all was in keeping and presented a scene of unrivaled splendor. The elegant eiges, with their beautiful oil-paintings, the richly caparisoned horses, and the uniformed drivers, elicited exclamations of surprise and admiration from the throngs assembled at various points along their route through the principal streets. The monarch of the forest crouching upon the top of his den, the lantern-jawed and stilted camels, and unwieldy and shabbilydressed elephants, were all objects of interest with the populace.

Attracted by this beautiful and unusual display, thousands visited Camp Scott in the afternoon where the mammoth sixspar tent of the establishment was pitched, and long before the hour of the exhibition the spacious enclosure •vas filled by an assemblage of eager spectators. All were highly delightod with the display of animals, which was certainly the finest ever witnessed in the Northwest.

In the evening, there was another large congregation of our citizens, the interest showing no abatement."

REMEMBER, ON WEDNESDAY, THE 25TH INST., this exhibition will be given in this city, and not untill then.

[Associated

CHICAGO, October 17.—The police have captured the Italian saloon keeper Gregorio Peteri, who on Monday of last week, 411 a saloon on Vanderbilt street, stabbed two men dead. He was found at the village of Austin, about five miles west of this city.

The total number of dead bodies on which inquests have been held up to last night is ninety-two. Of course when the debris in the burnt district is removed many more will be discovered.

Arrangements have been made to-day by the special agent of the Postoffice Department for the removal of the Postoffice to the Wabash Avenue Church, corner of Wabash avenue and Harrison street, and it will be occupied for that purpose until the government builds a new and suitable building. This church edifice is on the south line of the burnt district, South Division. It was considerably scorched, but suffered little or no injury inside.

The directors of the Board

The banks, national and savings, re sumed business to-day. The calls from depositors were light for immediate use .Many sought to ascertain their balances and to what extent they could safely draw hereafter. Many deposits were made. There was no excitement or rush whatever. The drafts on savings banks were very light, and in many insta.ncedeposits were made. There was consid erable excitement at theClearing House and many checks were thrown out, and as an illustration of the confidence the public p'aced in the hanks, we refer to to-day's work. At the Third National Bank $45,004 were checked out and $72, 000 deposited. The State Savin-'s Bank prepared for a rush, but only some forty depositors called for money. The aggre gate of which was greatly exceeded by deposits

Many contracts for building have been consummated to-day. Among those who propose to rebuild at once are Wm. C. Coolbaugb, H. G. Power, T. Wheeler, Brown Brothers, George Arman, Jno. B. Drake, of Drake's Block, J. C. Walker, P. Palmer, Mathew Laflin, C. H. Beck with, Edwin Hunt, Fred. K. Tuttle, Greggston & Mack in, James H. Reese, Tribune Company, etc.

The entire olock fronting on the Court House square, from the east, and running from Randolph to Washington street, will be rebuilt at once by Messrs. J. C. Walker, Dr. Fowler, R. E. Godell, Dr. Charles and Jno. Quinland, and others

The great Union Depot at the foot of Lake street, is to be at once rebuilt on a greatly enlarged scale.

An attempt was made by a number of lumber dealers, yesterday, to carry up the price of lumber from three to fourdoi lars per thousand, but this was resisted by many of the larger and more respectable dealers, and the attempted extortion defeated. Lumber is selling at the old prices. There are fully 250,000,000 of feet in the yards iu this city, and the supply will continue abundant.

The action of the Postoffice authorities in locating the office on the South Side, where there is less than one-third the population of the cityand where there is no gas, has created great surprise and a good deal of indignation, less regard seeming to have been had for the accommodation of a majority of the citizens than should have been.

The number of passes issued to-day for persons leaving the city was one thousand.

NEW YORK, October 17i—The Times says that the reports of the sub-commit-tees on the city frauds have been finished, and will soon be made public. Their report* fasten the conviction at last upon the diieves who have robbed the citizens. l'he same paper states that the fact has leaked out that the laborers engaged the public parks and boulevards are un dergoing a course of military drill for any emergency that may arise in the coming election. The police, however, know nothing about it.

A movement is also on foot to have a mass meeting of citizens held at Cooper Institute to make arrangements tor a general suspehsion Of butinest» for one day, and for a parade of five thousand citizens to wait upon Mayor Hall, and demand the proper safeguards for the purity of the election iu November. ,•

The New York fire patrol is provided with six Babcock Extinguishers. The Germania Fire Insurance Company of Cincinnati has just declared a six per cent, dividend.

The North American Insurance Company of Hartford, yesterday made an assignment of its property to Wm. C. Hastings. The Probate Court has appointed the 21st inst. for a hearing upon the acceptance of the trustee.

The Security Insurance Company of New York has suspended, and A. F. Hastings has been appointed receiver. The losses exceed $1,509,000.

An injunction was granted by the Supreme Court at the instance of the stockholders of the Excelsior Insurance Company, and M. D. Hodges was appointed receiver.

The Lorillard company has discontinued business, and held a meeting to-day to consider the proper course to pursue in view of their heavy losses.

Delegates from nearly every State will attend the Insurance Convention to-day, in New York. Action will doubtless be taken to relieve in a great measure the strain upon the companies.

The Schenectady Fire Insurance Compttny has beeu placed in the hands of a receiver, but the Chicago fire is not responsible for the closing up of this concern.

Underwriters representing responsible companies find plenty to do in legitimate business, while agents representing intitutions a little shaky at present, are engaged in throwing dirt at one another.

The following fire iusurance companies advertise in New York papers that they are not interested in the Chicago fire viz: Manufacturers and Builders', Maun tauk, Stuy vesant, Rutgers, Knickerbock er, Standard, Lancaster, of Pennsylvania Fireman's Trust, Arctic, Greenwich. Hamilton, Prescott, Boston, Sterling New York, Gebhard, Relief, Clinton Hope, Broadway.

The New York Standard says that the official head of our Slate Insurance Department, whose return from Europe has been so anxiously expected by the tire underwriters, arrived by the Cuba yesterday. He at once held a consultation with some of the principal insurance Presidents, aud issued a circular letter expressing sympathy with the com panies in their great misfortune, offering to do anything iu his power to aid them and inviting them to meet himatUn derwriter's Hall at twelve o'clock on Monday. The gravest and most un founded apprehensions have prevailed among the underwriters lest Mr. Miller be disposed to take such severe measures with them aa would precipitate a panic but his action yesterday was of a charac ter at once to reassure the timid, con found his slanderers and prove his fit ness for the responsible office which he now holds.

Proverbs.

Borrowed garments seldom fit well Haste often trips up its own heels. Men often blush to hear what they are not ashamed to do. What is not needed is dear at any price. He who buys too many superfluities may be obliged to sell his necessaries. A fool generally loses his estate before he finds his folly. A man that hoards his riches and enjoys them not, is like an ass that carries bay and eats thistles. Towftrs are measured by their shadows, and great men by their calumniators. The man who knows the world will nnver be bashful and that man who knows himself wil, I never be impudent. Success rides o:a, every hour—grapple it, and you may win, but without a grapple, it will never go with" you. Work is the weapon of honor, and he who lacks the weapon will never triumph. It was a saying of Socrates that every man had need of a faithful frieud aud a bitter enemy—the one to advise, the other to show him his faults.

!.n

Unparalleled.

There may be a question whether, in the burning of London, of Mascow, of Romp, of Carthage, or in some of trie other great conflagrations of history, there may not be found a parallel for the destruction of Chicago, but it is unquestionable that never in the recorded history of the world was there such munificent exhibition Of charity as the burning of Chicago has caused. The hearts and the hands of the people throughout the land have been open, and they have given freely. England has been as liberal as our owu country, and tbe-nry of distress from Chicago has met with »s helpful response there as in our own land. The ready generosity of the last week warrants a higher opinion of human nature. The great heart of the world is right when it can be reached.

THE American woman has long been regarded by Europeans as the most beautiful woman iu the world. This she aud has been for twenty-five years, without doubt and as the circumstances of her life become easier, her labor less severe, and her education better, she will become more beautiful still. America never possessed a more beautiful generation of wdman than she possesses to-day, and there is no doubt that the style of beauty is changing to a nobler type. The characteristic American woman of the present generation is larger than the characteristic American Woman of the previous generation.

IF it were not for the Chicago fire, the fires in Wisconsin and Michigan would attract the attention and sympathy of the country. Indeed, if the stories told of the destruction Of life and property in Michigan are not exaggerated, it is a question if the suffering in Chicago will exceed that of the people in the burning country.* Three thousand square miles are reported to have been swept by the flames, and in one place three hundred lives are said to nave been lost. The work of charity is*not yet done.

THAN

WATER.—The

act of the British Government, in offering for the use of the Chicago sufferers

the military department ion, is one that willHave more influence in removing the animosities engendered against iM^land in the minds of so many, by her course during onr war, than any treaty or convention, no matter how favorable to us. Such friendly sympatbyjean never be forgotten.

JUDGE JEREMIAH 8. BLACK writes in a recent letter to the York, (Peon.) Gazette "The horrible and disgusting frauds in New York have done more to grieve and dishearten the friends of good government than any other thing that has occurred within my recollection. To save the Democratic party alive, it must repudiate these, scoundrels utterly. If they fail to do it, they will go down to political perdition."

HAIR VIGOR. A¥JEB'§

A I I O

For the Renovation of the Hair!

The Great Desideratum of tbe 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 and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though' not always, cured by its use. iNothing 'can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands trophied 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 arid consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make.some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit bpt' not' harm it. If wanted merely for a |HAIB DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it doe« not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy^ lustre and a grateful perfume.
