Terrb Haute & Southwestern Railroad. The following is the petition yesterday presented by the T. H. & S. to the County Commiss^)^j^^^| To the Board' of Coviyti&imiers, of Vigo county
The undersigned petitioners, who are resident free-holders of Harrison township, in said county of Vigo, in the St^te of Indiana, respectfully ask that said township make an appropriation of one hundred and llfty thousand dollars in money, to aid the Terre Jlaute & Southwestern Railroad Company, ^hich is duly organizechunder the laws.of ftu^liana, in constructing a railroad in sliip, by taking money to said that purpose.
Your petitioners ask your Honorable Boarcl to order an election in said township pursuant to the provisions of an act of the G.eneral Assembly, entitled "an act to authorize aid to the construction of railroads by counties and townships, taking stock in and making donations to Railroad Companies," approved May 12, 1869, for the purpose ot taking a vote of the legal voters of said township upon such appropriati®n.
One hundred- and twenty-five names, among which were those of nwiny of our wealthiest citizens, were sigued to this petition.
The following is the action of.the*Board of County Commissioners on this petition
Comes now here in open Court, Win. B. Tuell, President of the Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad Company, and presents to the Board a petition of certain freeholders of Harrison township, Yigo •county, Indiana, asking that said Township make an appropriation to aid said Cotnpanv in constructing a railroad in said Township and the Board being satisfled that said petition has been properly signed by more than twenty-five freeholders of said Township, it is ordered that said petition be spread of record at full length. ip 0
The Board having taken said under advisement, and being satisfied that' the appropriation asked in sa?ld petition does not exceed two per centum upon the amount of taxable property of said Township,it is ordered by the Board thatthe polls of the several voting places in said Township of Harrison, Indiana, be opened on Monday, the 22d day of January, 1872, and the votes of the legal voters of said Township be taken upon the subject, of, appropriating one hundred and tifty thousand dollars by said Township, for the purpose of aiding iu the construction of the Terre iute & Southwestern Railroad, as prayed for in said petition apd that the Auditor of said County give notice of said election in the manner prescribed by law and it is further ordered that places of voting at said election in said Township be the same as at the last general election for State and County offices, viz-: For the First Ward of City of Terre Haute, the Fourth Street Engine House Second Ward, Bleemel's Brewery Third Ward, Kercheval's grocery store Fourth Ward, Number Three Engine House Fifth Ward, Imbery's Brewery Sixth Precinct, for voters outside the City, at new Court House.
There being vacancies in the office of the Inspetor in the First and Second Wards, Gotleib Reiss is appointed Inspector for First Ward, and G. F. Cookerly for the Second Ward, who, with the Inspectors of the other Precincts heretofore appointed, will act as Inspectors of said elections.
The "appropriation" of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars by this township, to be used in building a railroad, is a matter of much importance to tax-pay-ers of the township, and we will therefore keep them fully advised in the progress taken in this matter, and will from time to time give our views in relation to this very important subject.
Amnesty.
The following is a special dispatch from Washington to the Cincinnati Cammercial: "The Political Disability Committee of the Senate, at their meeting today, decided to report by one majority, and subsequently did report, the House bill of last session, which grants amnesty to all persons, except those who were in the army or navy and the Congress of the tfnited States and left the same to join the Confederacy. If this bill should pass the Senate in this shape, an effort will be made in the House to substitute universal amnesty and enactrit into a law before the Ijoliday recess. The feeling in th® Hotfse in favor of amnesty is certainly much stronger th$n it was when it passed the bill last spring, which was reported in the Senate to-day." We hope the House of Representatives will have the good sense to stand out firm for general amnesty.

A PRISON bird, of this city, whose time expired last week, confessed to having been one of the most successful "dead beats" that was ever heard of. For two years one of his hands has been apparently in a crippled condition, the cords being drawn up so as to render it useless. It had been examined by a number of surgeons and physicians, all who pronounced it a genuine case, and the fellow, having beeu a soldier, actually drew a pension on it. After bis discharge, his hand became suddenly straight and useful again, aud is now as good ss ever. How the fellow ever maintained the delusion for two years is a mystery, but nevertheless a fact, and is quite a commentary on medical examinations.— Michigan Oity Enterprise.
Davenport, Iowa, talks of constructing an extensive wkter-power canal which will afford "roora-fof-ftfe«Ldred such factorids as have made lyotfell famous."
HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Freight Train of the I. & St. L.R. R. Near St. Mary's, When Running at Full Speed, Ditched.
Two Men Killed—T!ie Tralii Wreck.
a Total
About 1 o'clock to-day, as a freight train bound east on the Indiauapolis & St. Louis Railroad had reached a point just beyond St. Mary's, run into the diteh when running at a tremendous rate down grade in order to make an up grade just this side. The entire train was most frightfully wrecked. The engineer and fireman were both instantly killed. The fireman is named John Griffin, and resides near the I. & St. L. depot, this city, where his remains now are, and a Coroner's Jury being summoned as we go to press.
The body of the engineer has not yet been found, as it is buried beneath the awful wreck. The disaster is said to have beeu caused
because the section hands did not flag the train a sufficient distance ahead.
W. B. WAIIREIT retires from the pork packing business for this season. Mr. Warren is one of our heaviest packers, and his absence from the pork market will be seriously felt.

REV. CHARLES B. PARSONS, a prominent Methodist minister, died in Louisville, Friday night, after a long illness, in his sixty-seventh year. He was formerly an actor, and at one time manager of the Louisville Theater, and was widely known. Old Cincinnatians will remember ChaTley Parsons, from 1835 to 1745, on the boards of the National Theater, of this city, under Scott & Thome's management. He was the original Roaring Ralph, Stackpole, and only able delineator of the part. He was also a favorite in heavy tragedy, Damon and Virginius being his prominent parts. After leaving the stage for the ministry, he returned to the stage, and after some time resumed the ministy, continuing in the latter profession until death. He was a large, muscular man, resembling Colonel Moody in figure aud bearing, with a full round voice, well adapted to either the stage or the pulpit, and was noted for his correct and steady habits. He was one of the few men in early days who claimed that an actor could be a devout Christian. He was the friend and companion of Charley Webb, Augustus A. Adams, the elder Booth, and Forrest, and frequently supported these men in leading parts in tragedy.—Cin. Com.

HERE is a lesson never to be forgotten by insurance companies in America: It is announced by the Hartford Courant that the three insurance companies in that city which have survived the Chicago fire, and are still doing business, have received for premiums during the month of October almost double the amount obtained in October, 1870, by all the insurance companies, nine in number, then doing business in Hartford.
