CHRISTMAS TREES which have duly sprouted, blossomed and are now ripening, will be duly dismantled of their sweet and luscious fruits on Monday •evening of the coming week, though some will doubtless be divested of their attractiveness previous to that time. Santa Claus will superintend this ceremony in many instances.
TITEKK is a talented German Dramatic Association in this city.—Journal.
And yet the Grand Jury are not happy, but used every effort to indict them for giving Sunday evening entertainments and to make the matter still worse, they summoned several printers from this office to appear before that august body to testify as to their attendance. Only think of the idea of a printer being guilty of drinking beer or going to Sunday theaters The idea is preposterous, and a vile slander upon the craft.
WE regret to hear of the death of W. K. Sliewmaker, second son of our fellowcitizen Uriah Shoemaker, which took place last evening. Young Shewmaker never really recovered from the terrible sufferings he endured as a prisoner at Andersonville. There his constitution received such a shock, that it never was •entirely able to recover itself, and step by step it yielded, until finally the cord lias snapped asunder. The deceased was one of the kiudest-hearted of men, was a dutiful son, kind husband and father, and an honest and upright citizen.
THE chief writer of the Indianapolis Evening News, Berry Sulgrove, takes exception to the insanity that prompt matrimonially inclined youths to get married in December. He advises them to take a "leafy morning in Julie." We (don't think Berry is competent to judge ,of the proper time for this important period in life, as it has been many years since he took such a step. Times and customs have changed since that time, and he having about all he could attend to in the picking of little Berr(y)es, has certainly not had opportunities for a careful and studious investigation.
HONOR TO TERRE HAUTE REPRESENTATIVES.—At the closing of the fall term of Wabash College, at Crawfordsville, on the 21st inst., Charley S. Voorheesand W. H. Ripley, of this city, acquitted themselves with high honors, Young Voorhees handling the subject of "Law" with great ability and Young Ripley the subject of "Treaties" in a very able and eloquent manner, and that too without reference to their manuscript, lioth these young gentlemen sustained their parts in the closing exercises with great credit to themselves, their friends, and the city, we are pleased to learn from the press notice of the exercises.
A CORRECTION.—Mr. Garvin of the Terre Haute Business College informs us that late chief flourisher Hiuman, of his institution, was not employed by him at the time he experienced
Blazes,
and that
he had not been for two days preceeding that painful affair. He says that Hiuman did come up to the college after the occurrence, but did so for the purpose of finishing and taking a copy ot a piece of work which he had previously almost finished. Garvin thinks he would not keep a man about him who would not resent such treatment as the fancy flourisher seemed to excrutiatingly flourish under.
THE Brazilians who have been pining and languishing to be musically entertained by Terre Haute talent, will please take notice that they are to be gratified. Mrs. Carrington, Professors W. H. Paige and A. Shide, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Richardson, will give an entertainment there very shortly after New Year's day, at which none of the music loving and appreciative of that city can afford not to attend. All the ladies and gentlemen named above are good musicians, especially Mrs. Carrington, who is a most worthy and meritorious lady, in nddition to the possession of a voice of rare musical sweetness and artistic culture, is a lady who is not 0 professional lyric artist.

"I don't know who you are," was the answer, "but I don't want to annoy you personally, as you may not be the one in fault it's your confounded house that I blame. You may be Otley or you may be Saunders. If you are Saunders, d—n Otley if you are Otley, d—n Saunders! I mean nothiug personally lo yon."
Then and Now.
Let not Congressadjourn without passing the one term amendment to the Constitution. There has never been so favorable au opportunity. All parties are in favor of it. The present imcumbent of the Presidential office has no inducement to oppose it. Nobody's sensibilities can be offended by it. It cannot be charged as a party movement intended to head off an obnoxious President. Gen. Grant is in favor of it. The party which supports Gen. Graut demands it, and, above all else, public morality calls for it.
Let us never again witness the utter debasement of the Presidential office by the incumbent to secure a second term. The second term makes the first a period of chicanery. It is the fertile germ of "Executive Policy," and brings fearful croo of treachery and lies.
It is the fomenter of divisions between (he departments and the inducer of Executive usurpations.
It is a constant peril to the liberties of the country. Not a man or a party in the country, worth counseling with, wishes the Presi-4 deut to be eligible to a re-election.
If the opportunity is lost, and we wait until after the next Presidential election, wo shall run counter to some supposed personal or party interest in reopening this subject. Then why wait?
It need not take a day to pass the necessary amendment, and in the present temper of the country it will be ratified.
Congress should not adjourn without pa in on a '.

APPALLING R4ILR0AD ACCIDENT.
The Junction Road Still Unfortunate.
A Train Smashed lo Pieces—Thr.^e J®en Killed and Many Persons WonndeU.
A deplorable accident happened yesterday on the Cincinnati & ludianapohs Junction Railroad, by which several lives were lost, and many persons were more or less seriously injured. The passenger train due here at 11:50 A. M. left Rusliville an hour behind time. The conductor, Mr. M. B. Flenuer, endeavored to makeup part of this time, and the train was run at about or thirty or thirty-five miles per hour, until the bridge across Beaver Meadow Creek was reached, when a broken rail threw the entire train from the track, and precipitated the engine and cars through a trestle work fourteen feet high!
The wreck was complete and feartul. The engineer, James Hamilton, was killed instantly and his body was fearfully disfigured. The conductor, Martin 13. Fienner, a uoble-heartod gentleman in the fullest sense of the term, was mortally hurt, but staggered to his feet and asked, "are the boys safe?" then fell back and expired in a few minutes. The fireman, John Williams, son of officer Williams, of the police force, was badly scalded and had an arm broken. The baggage master, whose name is not found iu our reporter'e list, was also badly hurt, but the mail agent, John Egbert, and expr*is messenger, Lacke, escaped without injury, as did also the other employes.
By good furtune the train was a light one, consisting of but a single passenger car, which was crowded with passengers, nearly all of whom were more, or less hurt. Of the passengers, but oue was killed, Pat. Kilkerry, a section foreman, who was passing from Burlir.gton to Gwinn's Mills. His death was not instantaneous, however, but occurred while he was being conveyed back to Burlington. Tlsough nearly all the passengers were bruised, and cut, and shaken up, no others were mortally hurt, and nearly all came in last night on the relief train which was sent out yesterday afternoon.
The arrival of the train was anxiously awaited last night, and quite a crowd assembled at the Junction office on Virginia avenue to meet it. Red Cloud Lodtze, I. O. R. M., sent a committee and their sachem, Will. C. David, to receive and care for the remains of their brother, Fienner, and many of our citizens who had friends on the train were there also. The railroad company provided carriages for the wounded, but fortunately few wprp nppflpd.
It was half-past ten o'clock when the train arrived, it having stopped at the crossing of the Michigan road to deliver the corpse of James Hamilton to his friends. Undertaker Hedges took charge of the remains of poor Baun Fienner, and conveyed them to his office where they were prepared for interment. A cruel wound on his forehead made by the iron safe of the express company, showed how he came to his death, but there was also a fearful burn on his right hip, evidently caused by falling against the stove. His features were not distorted, and one could almost imagine that his death had been peaceful instead of horrible. After being cleansed and dressed, his corpse was temporarily removed to his rooms opposite the Union Depot, but will doubtless be taken
interment to his home in Hamilton, Ohio. He was one of the oldest conductor on the road, and was well-known in this city, where his quiet, unobtrusive, but ever cordial manner won him hosts of friends.
At the.scene of the accident the utmost kindness was shown to the dead and wounded by those living in the vicinity. Houses were thrown opeu to them, and whatever could be done was done to mitigate their sufferings. Three of the most sevferely wounded were left on the ground, and there can be no doubt of their being well cared for.
Through the kindness of Mr. A. J. Joyce, No. 355 North East street, who was a passenger on the train, and himself slightly liart, we are able to give nearly a complete list of the killed and wounded.

A.
J. Joyce, city, cut over eye. Mr. Egbert, mail agent, has been ditched before, and each time escaped injury.
It is said that Baurn Fienner had a presentiment of his death, and spoke of it
on
Thursday morning to some of his friends in this city. He had been very fortunate iu the matter of escaping accidents hitherto. While it is true that this road has been very unfortunate for some time, the traveling publie may feel assured that in the hands of Mr. W. D. Griswold, the receiver now in charge, it will be conducted with care, and improved up to tne point of assuring pub* lie safety.
The Law of Suicide.
It has been judicially established in the Massachusetts Supreme Court, by a re* cent decision, that suicide is not a crime. One John Dennis, it appears, was arrested months some ago at Worcester on a compiaint charging him with the "attempt to kill and murder himself." The Superior Court found .him guilty, but the case was carried to Hie Supreme
the su^ect
.&•& t.
Court, which has
just decided that there was no guilt in Dennis' attempt to kill himself, on the ground that "the provisions of the General Statutes, in section 8 of chapter 168, which Area revison of the whole law ou
of attempts, dp not include
attempts to commit suicide." But'suppose Mr. Dennis had succeeded in his attempt, how, then, would the Commonwealth have vindicated its outraged 1»WS? 1110r"

Ex-Comptroller Connolly to Spend the Holidays in Jail.
An Attachment Against His Property Granted.
&c., &C.9 &c.
NEW YORK, December 23.—It is said by the friends of Richard B. Connolly, that no effort will be made to release the ex-ComptroJIer from the Ludlow street jail until it is positively ascertained from Judge Bedford what amount of bail will be required under the fifteen criminal indictments brought against him by the Grand Jury, in order that the agreed bail may be got ready.
Judge Bedford is now very reticent on this point, and from present indications it may be regarded as certain that Connolly will remain in jail several days after Christmas. It is said some of his bondsmen will not be able to qualify on Wednesday, Dec. 27th, the day fixed for the justification.
Judge Cardosa yesterday issued an attachment against the property of Richard B. Connolly, in a suit brought by Patrick Carroll, late Superintendent of markets, to recover about $14,000 alleged to be paid out by him while holding that position for groceries, provisions, etc., furnished by said Connolly. The attachment was granted on the ground that he had secretly disposed of his property with intent to defraud his creditors.
NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 23.—Geo. Borden, an employee of the New Jersey Railroad, met with a frightful accident in the Market Street Depot yesterday. As usual, on his arrival at the depot, he jumped off the train, and slipping o» the snowy platform fell between it and the train. He made a desperate eflort to crawl out of danger, but his arms were caught by the wheels and mangled so that in order to save his life both had to be amputated just belo^the shoulder. He was taken to the hospital, and will probably not recover.
From the Boston Advertiser, 10th.
"UNDER THE WILLOWS" IN BOSTON.
A. Savage Criticism—Mr. Leake Under the Lash—"Strident Grimace and Staginess."
The
new "emotional" play of "Under the Willows," which was brought out at the Globe last night, is a wretched affair, and has met with the disastrous failure which it deserved. It seldom happens of late years that the theater of the first rank is used for the production of a play at once so weak, so tawdry and so pretentious as this. The plot is bigamous: A miscreant of a first husband—Antoine Thibeut, by name—turns up after the heroine has been happily married for years, and she has a grown-up son and daughter he complicates matters by falling desperately in love with his own wife, compels her to secure him the place of secretary to her second and beloved husband, the Count de Favrolles, attempts secretly to murder the latter, and, supposing the attempt successful, insists upon being acknowledged as the real Courat de Favrolles by the uufortunate family whom he has thus put under his thumb. The veritable Count, of course, is not dead, and turns up at the end of the fourth act, just in time to do uothing in particular and the household is finally relieved of its distress by the agency of the Countess' son Albert de Favrolles who slays, or as we should rather say, assassinates M. Thibeant at the close of a duel, when the latter has turned his back in imaginary triumph. Whatever this plot may have been in the original French—if original French there ever was—it is a miserable illjointed, thinly sensational affair in the English. But we could forgive and forget the infirmities of the story, if the dialogue did not match it so exactly, and if the situations were not so exquisitely absurd in their tame violence. There is not a single bright, or witty line in the entire|text,and thenars of the listeners ai constantly regaled with such English as "to change the conversation," meaning "to change the subject," and a "fugitive memory," in the sense of "a treacherous memory." The lingo in which the characters converse is like the conversation dialect of a dime novel nothing is ever said simply that can be said elaborately nothing is spoken directly that can oe reached by circumlocution. When^a person wants to say "Yes" he is very likely to observe that "indeed 'tis so," and the villian who desires to call attention to his villainousness does so on his first entrance by a volley of old-time "Hark-ye's." The attempts to be funny are of the most forced and melancholy description, and the whole dialogue has an indescribable tone of tameness and weakness which contrasts ludicrously with the dark and sanguineous plot. The action of the piece often reeks with woe and blood, but its talk is ever a thin, purlin stream of water-gruel. The situations are for the most part essentially tame and when anything startling is attempted the artificiality and unskillfulness of the playwright or translator result in absurdity, not in strength. Indeed, the majority of the characters are incessantly required to grasp and group themselves while a single pair engage in a conversation which would not quicken the pulse of an excitable school girl. An inquiry why anybody ever does what he does would be of the vainest description it is quite useless to seek the motives of persons who commit the entire charge of their private affairs to secretaries whom they have known for a minute and a quarter, or to understand the nature of a faithful and zeaious house servant who shields and assists a vile intruder "because he does not know the purposes" of the latter. It is, indeed, idle to waste elaborate criticism on such a play, and "Under the Willows" may be dismissed as a dramatic work with the remark that it will afford entertainment only to those who can amuse themselves by laughing at its weaknesses.
The new actors who came from or with "Under the Willows" did not make a very favorable impression for the most part. Miss Annie Waite has a good presence, and shows some marks of experience as ail
actress,
but Bhff has been
educated in a disagreeble spasmodic school and seems to have the faintest exception of the means of producing dramatic effects.
Mr. W. H. Leake has acted in Boston ju former years he does not seem to have gained much since then, if we Infer from bis impersonation of the villain
Thibeaut, which is characterized by such stridency and grimace and staginess, and which has absolutely no meritorious features except in the last act, when it is momentarily strong. A Terrible Incident of the Western Fires.
At Forrestville lately, Mr. John Gloveson, of Detroit, was searching for tidings of his missing brother-in-law, named Halvy, of Quebec, who is supposed to have perished iu the burning woods while prospecting for a location. In hi3 wanderings, he came across a bit of forest where the fire still smouldered and flickered in the ground, and where the flames had done great damage, he sat down to rest. In a moment he became aware of a horrible stench, and looking about him, he made a terrible discovery. Fifteen or twenty feet away was a large log, or the remains of one, for the lire had burned up all but the end which had become heavy with water from resting in the neck of a small marsh, dry then but fed by a creek at other times. Sticking out from the hollow of this log were the feet and legs of a .skeleton, nothing but the bare bones left, and beyond the skeleton feet was the roasted body of a man, the flesh cooked and shriveled down, but emitting a smell which Gloveson could only stand for a moment at a time without retreating. At length he seized hold of the bones and drew the body out, when the sight and the stench was still more horrible. At the shoulders the fire seems to have stopped, leaving the flesh half cooked, and it was now ready to fall from the bones. The hair was gone from the head, the countenance so disfigured that there was no identifying it, and the bones of one baud were as clean and white as chalk. Every particle of was gone, and down iu the ashes below Gloveson found a number of bootnails.
Doubtless the victim, whoever he was, had been caught in that vicinity by the fire, and having no other resort, crawled into the log, hoping that the fire would sweep over
it.
The dry end caught fire,
and he was roasted alive, enduring the most horrible death imaginable. There was an excavation close at hand made by the uproofing of a tree, and into this place the skeleton was dragged and the bank caved in on it as a covering.
Returning to Forestville, Gloveson made such inquiries as led him to believe that the skeleton was not that of auy resident of that locality, and he then ended his search.
Growing Old.
A philosophical old nonagenarian finds thei# comforts in growing old. Grumblers should take notice.
I have become very deaf. What a blessing. There is such a lot of silly talk I cannot hear, such as scandals, etc.
My eyes are failing. How fortunate! I do not see a tithe of the folly and wickedness going on around me. I am blind to faults that would provoke me to censure.
I have lost my teeth, and my voice is not verv audible. Well, I find it no use babbling to folks who won't listen sol save my breath for better purposes. I don't show my teeth where I can't bite. I venture on no tough meat.
My taste is not so discriminating as in days of yore, and the good is, that I am more easily satisfied aud don't keep finding fault, and am contented and thankful. A nice palate is a plague one is well rid of.
My joints are rather stiff. Well, if they were ever so supple, I do not want to go and see the sights, hear concerts, make speeches, nor carouse at feasts.
I am not so strong as I was but for what end do I need to be stout? I am not going to wrestle or fight with anybody. My morals are generally improved.
