Additional Loeal News.

A DUEL is talked of between a local editor and a lawyer.—Journal. The only request that the "local editor" has to make is that the tragedy take place in the forenoon, that the Evening GAZETTE can have a "special correspondent" on the spot, and give the many hundred readers thereof the full particulars in advance of the forenoon Repeater and the Journal.

THERE is altogether too much anxiety manifested in the city iu regard to the small-pox. Precautions have been carefully taken by our excellent Board of Health to prevent the spread of the disease. If you have not been vaccinated, go and attend to the matter at once and think no more about it, and there will be no danger. Dread and fear of it produce half the cases of any contagious dieaee.«.

OFFICIAL RAILROAD CIRCULAR.—The Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company have just issued the following:

Death on the Bail.

A brakeman, named Thomas A. Biggs, was instantly killed by a train on the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad yesterday, under the following circumstances: It appears that deceased had shifted a switch at some little side track station near Greencastle, aud fell asleep at his post. The train coming up struck him,producing wounds from which he died instantly. From what we can learn the engineer was not to blame, not knowing that Biggs was asleep until too close on him to stop the train. The remains of the unfortunate mau were placed in charge of undertaker Ball, this city, who enclosed them in a neat coffin, and forwarded by the I. &. St. L. Railroad to Mattoon, where they will be taken in charge by his friends.

Moral—"Never sleep on your post."

FEMININITIES.

Leap year, "ladies change." "Peanut parties" area fashionable dissipation in Georgia.

An Iowa girl has read her Bible through seventeen times. A woman in St. Louis has invented a machine to extinguish fires.

Mary Clemmer Ames is jtist as pleasing in her features as her writings. The latest fashionable novelty in the way of eveningdresses are of embroidered tarletans, in colored floss on a white ground.

New Orleans is crowded with Philadelphians and New Yorkers this season, and the city is unusually gay and pleasant.

A Poughkeepsie landlady is in despair. Her six boarders stow away two hundred and thirty cakes, ordinary size, every morning.

The Mobile Register spreads the news that "Mrs. Oates is made of whalebone and steel, her lungs are silver-clad, and her veins are filled with quicksilver."

In spite of all that is written against the practice of intermarrying among cousins, the Rothschilds keep it up, two of the younger ones having recently been married in Germany.

ALong Island farmer has sued his wife for divorce, because, after coming to New York aud listening to a lecture in favor of free love, she" insisted upon hailing every man who passed the house and inviting him to have a talk.

This is not bad for aLong Island newspaper: "A Southampton maiden lady has just completed the knitting of a stocking which her mother began before her marriage, sixty years ago and it is not a bad stocking, not by a darned sight. It must be a long leg-I-see perhaps it was the work of an heir-loom.""1

THE challenge of the bellowing limb of the law is received, and conditions accepted, though they were not sent in accordance with the code. We select mountain howitzers, charged with powder aud railroad spikes distance, twenty steps the ground to be stepped off by the challenging party, he going from the scene of the tragedy, which will make the distance long range for rifled cannon. Still, from our experience with the weapons, we hope to demolish this mountain of wind, who kindly favors us with the opportunity. The Fort Harrison Guards will be present to preserve order. We have advertised for undertakers to carry off our victim.

Miss Lillian Edgarton is discoursing before the New England societies on Gossip, as follows: 1. The honestly sympathetic gossip. 2. The harmlessly curious gossip. 3. The petty envious gossip. 4.

Miss Kate Stanton is giving a lecture on "Whom to Marry," and these are her conclusions—first to men: "Marry a large woman, one ho wears at least a No. 5 shoe marry a healthy widow, with healthy children, rather than a young girl, forslie has had thfi advantage of experience but, best of all, marry an old maid, though she is difficult of access." To women: "Marry a fat man, round like a pumpkin but do not marry a gossipy man,'(unless he is a reporter or editor, who is forced professionally to be a gossiper). Above all, don't marry," she said, "a drunkard, a gambler or a quack doctor."—Cm. Commercial.

ANOTHER SENSATION AT HIGHLAND.

A Doctor Paid Back in His Own Coin— His Wife Elopes with a Preacher. Several weeks ago we mentioned in the columns of our paper the elopement of Dr. Wm. L. Young with the wife of C. H. Newby, both residents of Highland, this county, to parts "unknown.

Several days ago Dr. Young, after an absence of six weeks or two months returned to his once quiet and peaceful home with the expectation of smoothing matters over with his wife and becoming her liege lord once more. But in the meantime his wife had sold the personal effects of their household and removed to Terre Haute to live with her parents. The Dr. lumbered down there and laid his case before her, telling her what a fine trip he had through the State of Texas, etc., etc. After |the doctor rgot through with his little speech, his wife informed him that she would again renew the marriage covenant and plight her faith with his, provided he would consent to reside in Terre Haute. She said she never would cast her lot with no man any place near the jungles of Highland.

After the preliminaries were arranged she proposed that he stay at Terre Haute while she come up to Highland aud got a few things which she had left there. Of course the husband consented, little thinking there was mischief brewing in the camp. She left the three little children in his charge, telling him to take good care of them till she returned. She came up to Highland and was not long in finding a man who suited her tastes better than the doctor, and thinking that it would be nice to pay him back in bis own coin, she planned an elopement with one Joseph Simpson, a Campbellite preacher, and lit out for a more congenial clime. It has been near two weeks since they left and as yet her patient aud somewhat interested husband has received no glad tiding of their whereabouts. The doctor appreciates his situation and feels as though he had been left^with the sack to hold.

MADRID, Jan. 6.-1:10 P. M.—The announcement recently made of the appointment of Gen. Don Jose Concha to supercede Valmazeda as Captain General of Cuba, is now officially confirmed. Concha leaves in a few days.

The alleged seizure and detention of the steamer Florida by the Spanish man-of-war, the Munez de Bilboa, causes considerable comment here. The Government anticipates an amicable settlement of the affair through its diplomatic representatives. The journals generally take a similar view of the matter, and appear confident of an early satisfactory settlement.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—The iron-clads Cauonieus and Mahopac, go into commission at once. A full complement of officers have been ordered to both vessels. Commander Gillis has been ordered to the command of Mahopac and Commander George W. Wood has been detached from the receiving ship Vermont, and ordered to the Mahopac as executive officer. Lieutenant Commander Edwin T. Woodward has been ordered to the Canonieus as executive officer, and Lieutenant Commander Branham to the command of the Cononieus. Commander Stanton has been ordered to the command of the Moderacy in the Asiatic fleet vice Commander McCrea, who has been ordered to the Uuited States. Commander David B. Harmony has been detached from the navy yard at New York for waiting orders. Lieutenant Commander Dickens has been detached from Torpedo duty and ordered to the receiving ship Vermont.

Orders have been issued to hurry forward all repairs lis speedily as possible, when both vessels will be put in commission. Numerous applications are being received by the Navy Department from officers now on shore duty asking to be ordered to the North Atlantic Squardron.

A dispatch from Charleston announces the arrival of the steamer Florida, at that part with the loss of her rudder. The captain's account of her treatment by the Spanish will be sent to the Secretary of the Navy at once.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—The Board of Directors of the Memphis & Charleston Railroad, will meet on the 17th inst., and it said will undoubtedly ratify the recent lease of that road to Thomas Scott, in the interest of the Pennsylvania Central. No definite decision has yet been obtained relative to the lease of the Georgia & Atlantic and West Point roads by the Pennsylvania Central.

Three millions one hundred and ten thousand seven hundred and eleven pounds of cotton were shipped from Savannah Wednesday last for Liverpool and Amsterdam.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—The Times has the following from Washington, Jan. 5: As was to have been expected, both factions at New Orleans are appealing to the Government for recognition and help. Telegrams from Warmouth and his friendr on one side and Carter and his friend on the other, have reached the President and Secretary of War, but the position of the Government will be one of absolute neutrality, unless the civil authories are powerless to keep the peace, when troops are to be used for that purpose only.

The Secretary of War has directed Gen. Emory to report what troops are at New Orleans and what use was made of them yesterday, inasmuch as has been telegraphed that some of them were stationed in the United States Court room ilnd in the Custom House. The use of the revenue cutter by a portion of the Senators to escape arrest by the Sergeant-at-Arms, was wholly unauthorized, and the officers who permitted it are to be held to a strict accountability.

Representatives in Congress from Louisiana here, are unable to determine what the result will be, and seem to care little what becomes of the factions. The feeling of the Administration is decidedly in favor of keeping hands off.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—More criminal indictments have been found against Tweed, Connolly, Thos. C. Fields and Jas. M. Sweeny. These indictments will not be presented to the Court of General Sessions until the Grand Jury in the Court of Oyer and Terminer is discharged.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—The Russian waj vessels Svetlaua and Urbreck lying are at the wharves in the vicinity of Wall street ferry, Brooklyn, and the Bogatre is lying in North River. They are awaiting the return of Admiral Poisset, who is journeying west with the Grand Duke, when the Urbreck will sail for Japan, to join the fleet there, and the Suetlaua will convey the Duke to other scenes of pleasure. The former vessel will lake with her to Japan, furnitune in pienty, and priests vestments for a Greek church recently built there. She has 13 guns abroad, and the Soettana has 26 formidable pieces.

SPRINGFIELD, III., Jan. 5.—One of the most interesting events that transpired here to-day, was the arrival aud departing of the Grand Duke Alexis. It seems that the House resolution inviting Alexis to stop and partake of the hospitalities of the State tendered through its Representatives, was not adopted by the Senate that dignified the body amending the resolution. So it resolved if the Grand Duke did stop here, the privileges of both Houses be tendered him. Of course, the Grand Duke could not accept the left banded compliment, and the train passed through the city without stopping.

About five thousand people, men women and children, and a majority of tho members of the General Assembly, had assembled at and near the depot, blocking up Third street for three squares, and when the train arrived warmly cheered the Duke, who appeared at the rear end of the car acknowledging the compliment by lifting his hut. A large number of men and boys had climbed up on a shed near the depot to get a better look at Alexis, but the supports of the shed gave way and it came down with a crash, severely wounding a number of persons and breaking the leg of a boy about 13 years of age.

SPRINGFIELD, III., Jan. 6.—The special committe on the military occupation of Chicago, have completed their labors, and will probably submit two diflerent reports to-day. The majority report sustains the protest of Governor Palmer. They denounce the killing of Col. Grosvenor, aud characterize the presence of the Federal troops in Chicago as a dangerous violation of the law. Th^y say while they consider the claims made for the Mayor of Chicago of good intentions in surrendering the government of Chicago to Lieut. Gen. Sheridan, they feel bouud to reiterate the legal principles are well etablished that where good intentions afford to no excuse to a public officer for a violation of his duty. Nor are tuey prepared to admit that the eminent services of Lieut. Gen. Sheridan furnish excuse for acts that were illegal. No man can relieve the law, nor can any degree of public service afford a justification for their violation.

The minority report will dissent to their views, and will be sustained by the Republfcan press and a great mass of the people, who feel indignant at Gov. Palmer for proposing to indict General Sheridan and the Mayor, in return for their services during the great fire.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.—It is rumored that the Secretary of a well-known life insurance company of this city is an embezzler to a large amount, and has also been speculating in stocks belonging to the company. Some of the Directors informed him that his affairs were not satisfactory, when he at once handed in his resignation and found himself in such poor health that he had to go West with his family. Since then, it is said the deficits have been made good, and the Secretary has returned.

A TEN MILLION DOLLAR LAW SUIT

An Important Railroad Suit Decided in the United States Courts of Indiana. Some two years ago the London, Liverpool and Globe Insurance Company brought suit in the Common Pleas Court Clark county, Ind., against the Fort Way &• Sou ern, he In a na Southern Railway Company, Samuel Tilden, John C. Parker, utid others, to re cover the sum of ten millions of dollars, or railroad property estimated to be of that value. The suit is brought ou foreclosure of mortgage which the plaintiff held upon the property, franchises, etc., of defendants, and the amount involved, $10,000,000, is probably the largest sum ever sued for in this country. The suit wa3 transferred from the Commpn Pleas Court to the Federal Court. The cases involves the title of the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad to the track now used by that company between Jeffersonvilfe and North Vernon, and the title of the Fort Wayne, Muncie & Cincinnati Railroad to the road-bed now used by that company.

The defendants made a motion in the Federal Court at New Albany to remand the case back to the State Courts of Indiana, and the argument in the case was made on Wednesday, by Captain T. Ware Gibson, of Louisville, and Judge Howk, of NewAlbany, for the defendants, and by Henry Crawford, Esq., of Chicago, and Judge Huff, of LaFayette, for the plaintiffs, the case being committed on Wednesday* evening. Yesterday Judge Gresham rendered his decision, overruling the motion of the defendants to remand to the Indiana State Courts. To this decision the attorneys for the defendants excepted, and the arguments upon the exceptions will probably be heard to-day.—Louisville Ledger, 5th. 9

From the Boston Advertiser, Dec. 7.

Mr. Gilmore at Iloine Again. Mr. P. S. Gilmore has finally arrived in the city after his extensive reconnoitre among the musical celebrities of the Old World. The City of Antwerp, with Mr. Gilmore and his gigantic project on board, reached New York yester-, day morning at half-past 10 o'clock, in safety, aud Mr. Gilmore, escaping with unsullied skirts from the meshes of the New York Custom House, in less than two hours was speeding over the iron rails on his way to this city, which he reached at midnight. Whether the waves rolled rhythmically and the breezes blew ill perfect accord*as the impresario crossed over Atlantic water, Mr. Gilmore modestly makes a matter of conjecture. But certain it is that he has canvassed the Continent pretty thoroughly, has sung his notes of invitation in half a dozen or more counties, and has received assurances that every nation of Europe will be represented on Boston made land next June. Everything in connection with the enterprise has succeeded beyond even his most sanguine hopes. There is a possibility—and to this possibility Americans will cling with their accustomed tenacity—that Strauss, whom Mr. Gilmore saw in Vienna, maybe able so to modify his existing engagements that he can take part in the great jubi lee. Many of the most eminent musicians of the Berlin, and, indeed, throughout the Continent, are enlisted on Mr. Gilmore's score. He is confident that there will be present a band of every European nationality. It is to be hoped that Prussian and French, Russian and Pole, will not be located in too close proximity, else discord is possible, to say the least. The details, of his great plan are arranged to Mr. Gilmore's perfect satisfaction, and will be given to the public at a very early date. Meanwhile it is enough to say that he is in excellent health, and comes back ready and able to bring the scheme to a triumphant reality next June.

HAIR VIGOR.

AYEB'S

A I I O

For the Renovation of tlie Hair!

The 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 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 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 DBESSING,

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.
