Additional Local News.

JOHNNY BRINGS, of New Albany, had his nose flattened to his face, by being thrown airainsta lamp post, while running to a lire Tuesday night.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

We are reliably informed that the "Briggs" referred to is not our Circuit Court Prosecutor. His nose retains its usual shape, but we fear ours will not if he chances to see this item.

PERSONAL.—Miss Fanny Price, Mr. and Miss Hanchett, arrived in the city this morning via the Vandalia, and are stopping at the Terre Haute House. This evening they will make their appearance at the grand Opera House.

Joe Mack, tl^e youthful though efficient and popular manager of the famous Hart, Ryman & Barney's Minstrels is still in the city, and his brightly, intelligent and handsome countenance lights up the city.

Hon. D. W. Voorhees has returned home, and his familiar face and form is once more seen upon our streets.

THE lecture on "Scenes in Europe," by Wm. Mack, at the Presbyterian church, on Monday night last, w^s well attended—the church was crowded. The lecture was full of interest, and all seemed to pay close attention to what the speaker said. A plain commonsense description of the castles, towers and cathedrals of the old world, which are so inseperably allied with the history of olden times, can never fail to interest the curious and the admirers of art and science. Indeed it seems to us that wo had spent an evening in those sacred ruins which are the reliable connecting links between the power, the energies, the skill, the arts ana sciences of men for ages past, and upon these points Mr. Mack gave many of his audience a better idea of their greatness than they could get by reading.—Sullivan Union.

PEORIA & SPRINQFIELD RAILROAD.— The Directors of the Peoria & Springfield Railroad, at their meeting in this city yesterday, closed contracts for the grading, bridging and ironing of the entire roaa. This contract also embraces the ties for the road, and is made with responsible parties, and work will at once commence. It is expected that the first division of the rood, which extends from Peoria (which is a town situated on the Illinois river,) to Prairie City, will be finished by the first of August, 1872, and the entire line completed in one year from that date. Peoria, which is a trading point of some importance, although but little known, will thus be brought into direot communication with the Capital of the State, and we shall heartily extend her a welcome hand in the new relation to us she will thereby assume.— Springfield Register.

J. S. DICKERSON, of the Terre Haute GAZETTK, left for his rural home to-day. He gets up the city and news items for that paper and cultivates a forty-aore field of oroom corn, which is adjoining the office, although he devotes the greater portion of his time to tire cultivation of cabbage and onions. "Good bye, John." —/Springfield Register.

The only cabbage head we ever attempted to cultivate was that of the local of the Register, and that "soured" on our hands. As for the "rural home," Terre Haute rejoices in the same population as the "city of mud," though the latter city olaimed thirty thousand until the census epidemic swept through her streets and alleys, carrying off about half of the number.

SUGGESTION.—TheLedger

says New

Albany should have a work similiar to \V, R. Halloway'a "Indianapolis: a Historical and Statistical Sketch of the Railroad City a Chronicle of its Social, Municipal, Commercial and Manufacturing Progress, with full Statistical Tables," and says it would be worth many thousands of dollars to that place. If that is the case the Council should have one printed, beoause the expense would be light. Its "progress" could be told in a very few words. We would suggest that suoh a work would be of very great advantage to this city in many ways. Cannot and will not the proper authorities act in the matter?

Cou YOUNG, of the Cubftn Army has been stopping in this city for several days. The following article we find in the Philadelphia Bulletin: "There is now being clandestinely fitted out in this city an expedition to operate in behalf of the Island of Caba. The leader of this expedition is Colonel John W. Young, who served with distinction in the Federal army during our late war, and has recently been connected with the Bed river difficulties. Colonel Young has some infernal maehine with which he proposes linking the whole Spanish navy and

lana a force sufficiently strong to

over

the entire island. If Colonel

Young succeeds in fitting out his expedition we may expect startling news ere many days. If all goes well with the various movements now being made, it is confidently expected that an insurgent army of at least ten thousand men, thoroughly officered aud equipped, will be in the field by May 20th next. The fitting out of an expedition in this city is too gross a violation of international law and propriety for as to permit of any such thing. Every reasonable effort should be made by the proper authorities* to prevent a violation of our neutral it v, Let tnein from this information brighten up and look around and if they can not prevent it."

"TRICKS THAT ARE YAIN."

"If It Ain't Spirits, What Is It

Dr. Von Vleek A Co. "1,1ft the Veil" from Spiritualistic Manifestations

Last evening Dr. Von Vleck & Co. de lighted an audience in Dowling's beauti ful Hall, by practically unraveling the Spiritualistic conundrum of, "If it ain't spirits, what is it The exposure was complete in the fullest sense of the term and was entirely satisfactory, not only to Messrs. Perry E. Tuttle and I. N. Pierce, the committee of investigation, but also to the audience. There were some Spiritualists aud one pseudo Spiritualist present, during the grand and altogether laughable exposure, who seemingly enjoyed themselves as much as any of the unbelievers.

The detectives first performed many of the tricks of the various, so-called Spirit ual mediums, while behind a curtain, which was used in lieu pf a cabinet. Their tricks seemed as much the work of the "familiar"

spirit

"Johnny" as did the tricks

of Dick, Mrd. Ferris'familiar spirit, upon the occasion of our attending the sceances at Pence's Hall, described in the GAZETTE some time since, all of which were incredibly simple when explained by the detectives last evening. Indeed so simple are the tricks which have hitherto puzzled many of our readers, they are inclined to be disgusted with themselves when explained.

Our limited space will not admit of our giving any extended report of what we witnessed last evening at Dowling Hall, but we advise our readers to go there this evening and see "how it is themselves!" At the conclusion of their performance last night the gentlemen reiterated their challenge published in the GAZETTE of Wednesday,and defied Mrs. Ferris or any other Spiritualistic medium, so-called, to come upon the stage with them and perform any trick which they could not duplicate and explain. As an inducement, they offered a reward of five hundred dollars. If that is not a good offer, "then what is it?"

MINSTRELS.—Hart, Ryman & Barney's excellent minstrel troupe appears at Dowling Hall next Thursday evening. In regard to their performances we subjoin the following:

AT the Opera House, the Hart, Ryman & Barney minstrels have for several nights given performances that not only drew and paid •well, :ut pleased and delighted all who composed the audiences. It is seldom now-a-days that we are confronted by the burnt cork business done up in so superior style. The jokes are new atid devoid of vulgarity, the hits are apt and well made, and the quips and cranks areas peculiarly fresh as the personnel of the troupe can make them a personnel that, by the way, troves that even for negro minstrelsy (as the lighly cultured would say) there is necessary something like education for the stage, adaptability for extravagant burlesque of high and low. lile, musical skill, and the professional enthusiasm that induces abandon, and the absence of self, so essential to successful expression of the comic side of nature, whether it be the negro or any of the prominent nationalities of Europe, all of which are noted for their peculiarities. The best examples of this educated nnd thoughtful ability in minstrelsy, as we remembfer ft, were the Christys and Buckleys, Jim-Crowe Rice, the daddy of the business, Newcomb, Eph Home, Rurasey, Campbell and Peel, all noted for the careful study of whatever they attempted, with a view to effect. Equal with these are Hart, Ryman aud Barney. They are characterized by naturalness. There is no effort, no straining for effect. They seem to be of the scenes in which they are cast, and to be the veritable character whose gross offences against all usual rale of conduct, speech and idea afford a never ending fund of laughter, from which their auditors can draw largely, and at pleasure. We will not soon forget John Hart as "Pbmpey," in "Pompey's Patients." It is a piece of lacy characterization, quiet in humor, but decided for the prominence it gives to the traits of the real plantation darkey. Barney asa Dutchman or Irish washwoman is simply inimitable. His "sweet German accent and rich Irish brogue" would delight even old Fuss-and-Feathers, were he not in the land o' the leaf, and beyond all sublunary influences. Sam Rickey is also worthy of mention. His brogue was eloquent of the "North." Adams moved tne house almost to tears by his rendition of "Old Black Joe." Wanting anything like sympathy in a voice tnat is noticeable for its hard metallic ring, he yet, by a careful aud clear rendition, wound up his audience and forced a silence that told how well it sympathized with his efforts, the melody and tbfe words. "The Trials" is a very laughable farce, suggestive more of the police courts as they used to De. than as they now exist. Of course it is overdrawn, and abounds in all sorts of gags. Ryman as "Twitters," Rickey as "Flipper,,rand John Hart as "Mellow," the Squire, were laughably absurd. Mr. Murphy is a positive accession to the troupe. He possesses a rich voice of extended compass and much cultivation, which he uses to great advantage. He is perhaps, the best vocalist now connected with minstrelsy. Jas. Taylor and Carl Rudolph, the ope a tenor robusto, the other of softer and more dulcet tones, sing witn taste and skill, and are deserved favorites. To sing a ballad properly is to execute the most difficult task that can be given a vocalist. It requires what is not always on hand—heartfelt expression. When that is given the audience, no matter how untutored, reel and acknowledge it. Murphy, Taylor, Ru-

dolpli and Heyer draw upon the sympathies of their audience to an extent that bespeaks them cultivated singers. The other members of the rery good—better than the orprofession, and uphold the

troupe are goqjL very good—better than the ordinary run oRhe profession, and uphold the "stara^ in a way that, while' It Increases their splendor, brings out their Own powers to the satifaction of tte audience. The instrumentalists deserve high praise. It is the most refined minstrel troupe we have ever seen.—Pittsburg Commercial.

THIS evening the popular Fanny B. Price Company will make their first appearance and open their second engagement at the grand Opera House in this city. She is too well aud favorably known by all our theater-goers to need any commendation from us, but we clip flrom that most excellent and readable paper, the Milwaukee Daily Senlinel, the following merited notice of Miss Price herself:

1

'V*-

"Miss Price is one of tneTnost talented actresses on the American stage, and thus is eminently fitted fbr the particular line of acting which she has adopted. Possessed of magnificent form, a face whose features are expressive of intelligence and refinement, and last, but by no means least, a thorough acquaintance with the necessities, requirements and beauties of her chosen art, it is not strange that her impersonations are so faithful, even in the minutest detail that the critics are left with naught at which to carp.

She delineated the character of "Jane Leroyd" in an inimitable manner. It was a complete portraiture of the spirited, impulsive, high-bred girl. Her graceful carriage, fruitless costumes, and distinct and

well-moulded

reading were duly appreai-

ated, while the applause bestowed upon her efforts was indicative of her success."

The Republic Insurance Company, being largely an offspring of the religious portion of the Farwell family, naturally had a pious motto, which they printed on their circulars: "Prove all things, and hold fast that which Is good." They have abided by the latter portion faithfUlly—holding fast to their money, which they conceive to be about the best thing goiag.—CAioapo 2!mef.

Mr. T. B. Glessing, the famous scenic artist, of our own State, and a resident of Indianapolis, will paint more seen ery for Dowling Hall. Mr. Glessing is an artist of not only local but national reputation, and has received high commendations from the press of many large cities, including very flattering notices from the St. Louis papers, for his artistic work on the Olympic Theater drop-cur-tain, of that city. We feel that his fine taste and skillful hands will serve to beautify Dowling's already beauteous hall.

STATE NEWS SUMMARY.

New Albany is frantic over the mysterious disappearance of a Southern horse dealer.

Seven convicts escaped from Jefifersonville prison Wednesday morning, but were re-captured.

Emma Huston, of Indianapolis, Was awakened from a somnambulistic jaunt through the streets of that city night before last, robed in spotless white, by an officer, Who after awakening the then blushing dame, escorted her to her residence, where she was put into "her little bed."

Judge Laird, of the Vanderburg Circuit Court, decided day before yesterday, that the fee and salary bill, so far as it applied to Auditors, Sheriffs, and Clerks, is inoperative and void, on the ground that it is in violation of the constitutional provision that taxation shall be equal, because this indirectly taxes those officers.

Dr. Wilcox, a prominent physician of New Albany, died last Wednesday, of paralysis. He is said to have been the most liberal man iu his profession.

The corner stone of a new Masonic building was laid yesterday, atLaFayette, with the regular Masonic rites, the Knights Templars, and all the different Masonic lodges participating. Hon. G. S. Orth delivered the address, and Grand Master Rice presided. A banquet was furnished at the lodge to all Masons at noon.

Last Tuesday, in Clark county, a negro fiend attempted an outrage on the person of a daughter of Amos Stacey, who resides on McCulloch Pike, three miles from New Albany. The girl's cries being heard by the father, he rushed to the rescue, but before reaching her he dropped dead from heart disease, superinduced by over-excitement.

The negro escaped,

and the Ledger thinks he will meet violent treatment should he fall into the hands of the people in that vioinity. 4*

The Ruined Forests.

'"The

The Milwaukee Sentinel says one irreparable loss from the late horrible fires is, after all, neither the destruction of village nor of city. Human life is, of course, the one loss that claims precedence of all others but laying that out of the question, the loss we shall feel most certainly and most deeply is the destruction of such an enormous tract of forest through this whole northwest. Chicago will be rebuilt long before that destruction can be made good. Ten years will make over again that great center of trade and industry. Its streets will be as bustling, and its business men as driving as before the disaster but the silent process of nature cannot be hurried and this generation at least, will pass away before the woods can recover themselves. "It is by no means as so much lumber that the trees are most valuable to us. Their value as lumber is, of eourse, enormous to us, but the living trees are ultimately of more consequence to us than the felled ones. A great tract of forest like that destroyed during the past summer is one of the most important agents in determining our climate, and cannot be meddled with to such an enormous extent without inducing serious climate changes. The forest in a country like this northwest, without great hill ranges, either to accumulate the springs and set them flowing down the valleys, or to arrest and discharge the clouds, depends for the certainty of its water-supply almost entirely upon its forest tracts to perform these services. Cut down, or burn these to any great extent, and desiccation of the soil immediately begins. Droughts have been growing fearfully common with us of late years, owing to the gradual destruction of these primeval gatherers of moisture. We do not like to predict evil, but certainly the wasting of such immense tracts of woodland is not going to help matters. It is in this view that the fire in the wilderness may ultimately prove a more lasting calamity to iis than fire in the city, and produce results less easy to avert or coptrol,"

Associated Press Dispatches.]

WASHINGTON, November 2.—The Civil Service Commission to-day was in session on the subject of postmasters. The difficulty is to fix the point where competitive examination shall commence, as of the 30,000 postmasters 22,000 receive salaries of less than $100 a year, audit is thought that this class should not submit to examination, as the greater part of the offices are held merely for neighborhood accommodation, and not for profit.

Blank powers, of attorney for the lease of the Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad, by the Pennsylvania Central, circulated in Wall street to-day that they set forth the following facts: The lease is for 999 years from December 1, 1871 the Pennsylvania Railroad is to pay the interest on all bonds Pittsburg will guarantee the stockholdeis the same as 7 per cent., free of tax on each share the capital will be 43 per cent, greater than the present capital.

The Sun doubts whether Alexis is coming here at all, and says the Russian Admiral is bound on a general voyage of observation, aud has full authority to sail where he likes. His going from England to Madras shows that it is not his purpose to visit the United States at present.

The Tribune's London letter of October 21st says that nothing could be better proof of the English interest in Chicago than the extraordinay and full accounts, and the sharp lookout that was kept for Java at Queenstown bringing New York papers. One hundred and eighteen newspaper reporters went off in a steam tug and caught her some distance out at sea for papers, and this morning we have from three to sixcolnmnsin each leading journal. Among the recent large subscriptions, I note the Bank of England and the Union Bank of London, each $5,000.

The Republicans are strongly urging the election of ex-Governor Seymour for the Assembly from the Nineteenth District.

ST. LOUIS, November 2.—The railroad, excursion party from Evansville, In-' diana, arrived, at Mt. Vernon, Illinois, about 2 o'clock to-dajr, where they were met by a reception committee from St. Louis.

Hovey, of Mt. Vernon. The party left for St. Louis at 4 o'clock this afternoon, arrived here at 6:30, and were taken to the various hotels, as guests of the Chamber of Commerce.

At the semi-annual meeting of the General Freight Agents' Association of the United States and Canada, held in this city yesterday, the following officers were elected O. R. Wadsworth, President H. W. Hibbard, Vice President H. C. Duhl, Secretary. The meeting then adjourned to meet in Louisville next May.

CHICAGO, NOV. 2.—In explanation of the statement contained in the disatches to the morning papers, from Jpringfleld, that the War Department had ordered four companies of United States regulars to this city, it is proper to state that the companies are ordered to barracks here for the winter, as the headquarters of the Army of Missouri, the same as companies are stationed at other barracks throughout the country, and has no reference whatever to any local use for these soldiers. In reference to further rumor in some of the dispatches that Governor Palmer had authorized or ordered Attorney General Bushnell to procure indictments to General Sheridan, Colonel Sherman, and others, for the murder of Colonel Grosvenor, it is only necessary to sayy neither the Governor nor the Attorney General have any legal authority to do anything of the kind.

Upon every hand new buildings are being erected, while others are being contracted for, work to begin in the spring.

For the Renoyation of the Hair!

The Great Desideratum of tbe Age!

A dressing wnfch 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. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands trophied or decayed. But such as remain ean 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. Jf wanted merely for a

HAIR DBES SINGr, frothing 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.
