BLITZ is a liberal man, but he insists that he cannot afford a $50,000 silverplated sett prize the first evening'of his appearance in the city as our types indicated. He wrote $50, which he pledges his word and sacred honor shall reward the holder of the lucky number Wednesday evening.

THE Bavarian Military Band, which furnished the delightful street music of the last few days, travels about the country giving open air concerts, which delight all who hear them. The band, as an organization, passed through the Franco-Prussian war, and as a military band, we never heard a better. Certainly, a more skillful band of musicians never honored our city with their fine melodies.

THE total net proceeds of the fair given under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, at New Albany, mention of which entertainment was made by the GAZETTE, amounted to the neat little sum of $250. So much for the encouragement of the gentlemen who are interested in organizing a lodge of the order in this city. We hope they will succeed and will soon have their organization on an enduring financial basis.

THE man whom we made mention of through these columns as having endeavored to throw a train from the track of the L., N. A. & C. road, by obstructing the track while be was under an attack of mental aberration, was from Lancaster, Penn. He is under restraint at Greencastle yet, and will doubtless be sent to the Asylum for the Insane at Indianapolis, unless his friends take charge of him when telegraphed.

Brown, of Cincinnati, known

by many of the young gentlemen in this city, spent yesterday at the Terre Haute House.

Judge Keys returned to Washington this morning. The Indianapolis Journal, of this morning, says that Hon. Thomas Dowling and Hon. A. B. Claypool, were elected to represent Indiana at the National Horticultural and Agricultural Convention at Washington, February 15,1872. The gentlemen will bear their own expenses. Liberal and serviceable gentlemen.

The following we clip from the Indianapolis People of last week, and is from the pen of Hathawy, professional indorser of itinerent advertising humbugs and general traveling agents for non-explosive paper collars:

Hon. P. W. Haggerty, a Terre Haute gentleman, and distant relative of the Grand Duke, has been in the city since New Year's visiting James Ryan and other iriends.

John Browning has been appointed to a lucrative position on the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad, and will hereafter assist in looking after the freight interests of that popular route, in this city. Good.—Indianapolis Sentinel.,

FEMININITIES.

Wedding cards are monogramed no longer, bearing only the initial of the young lady's name.

Photographers assert that the only time they succeed in taking a really good

likeness is when they come across a face entirely destitute of expression, and with large, heavy and decided feature.

A Norwegian lady, emigrating to Wisconsin, transported her twenty children in installments. She didn't think it safe to trust them all in one boat, as in case of.a wreck, she wouldn't have the heart to commence life in a new country.

Two young ladies at Greenwich, Connecticut, last week, thought to play a joke upon their father, by dressing as men and ringing at the door, and abusing the servant (by agreement with her). It didn't take long for the father to step out and kick one of the men off the piazza down four or five steps to the ground. The other begged for mercy.

The Louisville Courier-Journal says that a beautiful New Albany belle, followed by an exquisite of the opposite sex, created some little excitement in Louisville yesterday by running a footrace in the vain hope of overtaking a train just departing for the above named suburb. It will be gratifying to the ladies to know that the fair one soon distanced her tight-booted escort.

A novelty is being introduced into the obituary columns of newspapers in England. A gentleman dying at the age of "eighty-one years and four months, and deeply regretted by his daughters,'' is described in the Times in the following terms: "He was the younge&tson of the eminent Dr. Wm. Wotton, Knight, of 31 Brooke street, Grosvenor Square, London, and his relict, wife of John Small, Sheriff for Berkshire, daughter of Col. Charles White, first guards, granddaughter of the Right Hon. Stepheu Poyntz, neice of the first Countess Spencer, first cousin to the beautiful Duchess of Devonshire."

Levi G. Saffer, ex-reporter of the Standard, is a hero who deserves our special mention. JHe is evidently no "bug-eater," if he does come from Posey township, Harrison county. Last week Saffer gave the particulars of a fellow from that county leading a girl to ruin and eloping with her. The fellow came to this city Sunday, and threatened to kill Saffer on sight. Saffer heard of it, and arming himself with a 10 inch Columbiad and a double-barrelled slung shot went to the Commercial Hotel and bearded the lion in his eight by ten room. The fellow saw such a b*ld front in Saffer, and discovering that he, too, was a walking arsenal, miziled in toto. It is even said that he begged like a coward to be let alone. The magnanimous Saffer pitied the poor devil, and let him go his way.—New Albany Correspondence LoutsviUe Commercial.

LONDON, Jan. 6.—The mail steamer from the Cape of Good Hope, which arrived to-day, reports that the proclamation announcing the annexation of the newly discovered diamond fields to the British possessions in Southern Africa, is received with great enthusiasm and general rejoicing from the settlers, when the proclamation guaranteeing to settlers full possessions of their claims, aud affording ample security and protection against that lawlessness which generally prevails in an unsettled community. Enormous finds are reported, and the richness of the, fields is attracting a great number of diggers.

PARIS, January 6.—The action of the National Assembly in adopting the proposition of M. Thiers for imposition tax upon all raw material in place of imposing an income tax as previously contemplated, has met with so much opposition both in the Assembly and from mercantile classes generally, that it is likely it will be abandoned, when the original idea of an income tax may probably be substituted.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—The whole community was thrown into a state of excitement at a late hour this afternoon by the intelligence that Col. Jas. Fisk, jr., had been shot and probably fatally wounded by Edward S. Stokes. It it appears that at the close of court in the Fisk-Mans-field case, this afternoon, Stokes left in a carriage and proceeded to the neighborhood of the Grand Opera House in Twenty-third street, where he remaiued sometime. Shortly after,. Mr. Fisk left the Erie officesjiu the Opera House building, entering a carriage. Stokes did not follow him, but immediately drove to the Grand Central Hotel, which he was seen to enter about 3:30.

Fisk's carriage arrived at ten minutes past four o'lock, aed he then alighted at the ladies' entrance to pay a visit to a Miss Morse. He wa3 ascending the stairs leisurely when he discovered Stokes standing at the head of the stairs with a pistol in his hand. The doorkeeper states that almost inatantly twoshots were fired, and that Fisk leaned up against the wall saying, "I am hurt." "Iam badly wounded Stokes waited a few seconds at the head of the stairs, and then walked coolly to the parlor, where he threw his revolver on the sofa, then quietly descended the stairs leading to the oflice. The clerks and proprietors heard the reports and were out as Stokes passed the office. He turned towards Mercer street, exclaiming I guess there is somebody hurt up stairs. He then broke into a run towards a barber shop. The proprietor of the Hotel shouted, stop that man to man to half a dozen of porters, who started after Stokes, catching him just as he was entering the shop door, and brought him back and detained him until the officers arrived, when he was taken to the 15th Precinct station house and locked up in the Captain's room.

A number of guests of the house' and porters, &c., meanwhile arrived at the scene of the tragedy and Mr. Fisk was lifted and carried to room No. 231, where he was laid on a sofa. He was very cool and collected, and gave his instructions to send for a number of persons. In a few minutes he was undressed and had at his bed-side Doctors Foster, Wood, Tripler, Taylor, White and Marsh. Several other physicians arrived later. On examinatiop the wounded man's right arm was found shot through and a wound was discovered about three inches above the navel and about two inches to the right of the medium line, downwards at an angle of 45 degrees. The wound was probed, but the surgeons failed to discover tho ball.

The chances were pronounced to be against the Colonel's recovery, and his death from exhaustion was declared probable. The wounded man heard the decision calmly, and immediately sent for Dudly Fields, who, on arriving, drew op Fisk's will, which was duly attested. The callers now began pouring in, being with Wm. M. Tweed, who remained with him uutillate.

Jay Gould, Peter B. Sweeney, Miss Morse and her mother, who he had come to visit, and several of Mr. Fisk's family, were the only persons admitted to the dyiug man's chamber, but messages were sent all over the country, and in every direction.

Quarter of an hour after the occurrence, the hotel was beseiged by a multitude' clamoring for information, and a large force of police were detailed to preserve order, and to prevent intruders from entering into the wounded man's chamber. Nearly every politician of note in the city, was in the vicinity of the building during the evening.

At 6 P. M., Superintendant Kelso learning that Fisk's case was desperate, telegraphed to the Twenty-eighth Precinct station house for Coroner Young, who arrived and immediately proceeded to take Colonel Fisk's ante-mortem statement. The following is the antemortem deposition: gsq

James Fisk, Jr.", being sworn, says:

r-f,

i&Slf fsS&s

TERRE HAUTE, IND.: MONDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 8, 1872.

Iam ina critical condition. I hope I will recovor. This afternoon about 4:30 I rode to the Grand Centrai Hotel I entered by the private entrance, and when I entered the first door I met a boy of whom Ir,inquired if Mrs. Morse was in he told me Mrs. Morse and daughter had gone out, but that the other daughter was in the mother's room I asked him to go up and tell the daughter I was there I came through the door and was going up stairs and had gone up about two steps when looking up I saw Edward S. Stokes' head on the stairs as soon as I saw him I noticed he had something in his hand, and in a second of time I heard a report and saw a flash and felt a ball enter my right side the second shot was fired immediately after which entered my left arm when I received the first shot I staggered and ran towards the door, but noticing a crowd gathering in front Iran back on the stairs again. I was brought up stairs in the hotel and saw nothing more of Stokes until he was brought before me by the officer for identification. I fully identify Edward S. Stokes as the person who shot me. (Signed) JAMES FISK, JR.

The jury found verdict in accordance with these facts. An urgent telegram has been sent for Mrs. Fisk, at Boston, requesting her to come on if necessary, in a special train. Mrs. Hooker, Fisk's sister, to whom he is deeply attached, arrived at the .hotel shortly after the occurrence, and at once installed herself as nurse. Her presence seemed great relief to the wounded man. Mrs. Stokes, who is a very 'estimable lady, is said to be in Paris.

The P. & A. Association's reporter interviewed Mr. Stokes in his cell. The prisoner was found lying oil a hard couch, and in answer to the inquiry whether he wished to make a statement, he said in a good natured tone: I am sorry I cannot gratify your laudable question, but I have just had a consultation with my counsel and it is his special request that I make no response to reporters or even to the Coroner.

At 11 P. M. Fisk was sleeping under the influence of morphene with his pulse beating at 75. Dr. Sayre, one of the physicians, is of the opinion that the wound will not prove fatal, but his companions are of the opinion that the patient cannot possibly recover. The shooting was doubtless caused by the way things were going on in court. The case at Yorkville this morning went against Stokes, and it was intimated that the Grand Jury would probably indict both Stokes aud Mrs. Mansfield as black mailers.

The wound is of a terrible nature, being from a large sized revolver, and the wound is like that of a ball from a minnie rifle. The doctors have very little hope of recovering the ball, and mortification is expected to set in. Col. Fisk took his injuries bravely, never flinching from the sharp probes of the surgeons in vain attempt to find the bullet.

NEW YORK, January 8.—The excitement over Fisk's death is still high in this city. This morning the police and military continued to preserve precautions against any possible attack on either Miss Mansfield's residence or the Tombs. The plan decided on in case of attack, was that a portion of the police and military should hold the crowd at bay in front, while another portion attacked them in the rear. At midnight, intelligence was brought in by one of Superintendent Kelso's detectives that the 9th regiment had assembled at the Grand Opera House and demonstrations had evidently been intended, but some of the members advised a quiet dispersion and it prevailed. Nothing else indicating an outbreak occurred during the night.

Mr. Stokes was informed of the apprehension ot the authorities in relation to the probability of an attack on the prison, but received the intelligence quite coolly.

Everything was quiet at the Erie Railroad offices during the evening and night. At the post mortem examination made by Drs. Janowoy and Marsh, between 9 and 10 o'clock last evening, ifc was found that the ball producing the fatal wound had entered Fisk's body six inches above the umbilices and an inch and a half to the right of the medium line, passing downwards to the left through the omen-, turn and mezentary, piercing two loops of the small intestine, and it was found in thb urquinal, about 22 inches from its point of entrance. The lungs, heart and kidneys were found healthy.

The body was placed in a plain rose wood coffin and carried to his late residence, in west Twenty-third street, where it was placed in the parlor to await burial. Among those assisting as bearers of the coffin was Wm. M. Tweed. An unceasing stream of friends and sti*angers visited the house during the evening. Mr. J. T. Young took a plaster cast of face. The body will be removed to the lobby in the office at the Opera House, at ll o'clock to-day where it will be in charge of six officers of Fisk's regiment. The public are to be admitted to see the body.

The funeral services will be Held here at 1:30, Chaplain Flagg of the Ninth Regiment officiating. The remains will then be escorted by the Ninth Regiment and brigade and division officers, headed by the regimental band. The members of the Ascheubrodel Musical Society, of which deceased was a member, will turn out in citizen's dress with their instruments, and march in company with the band playing dirge music alternately. Each company of musicians will be one hundred strong. The burial at Brattleboro, Vt., takes place at 1 o'clock Tuesday. .1 vW.Wf

On the news of Fisk's death being brought to Stokes yesterday, he said, is he really dead, and on being answered in the affirmative, turned from the door of the cell and commenced a rapid pacing back and forward, as if much agitated. He said nothing further, however.

NEW YORK,Jan. 8—It was rumored

last night that Mrs. Mansfield, from some cause yet unexpected, has disappeared from her house in We3fc Twenty-third street, and was not to be found in the city. It is said that Stokes will bo indicted by the Grand Jury of the Oyer and Terminer Court to-day. The trial is expected within thirty days.

NEW YORK, January 8.—Before 9 A. M., groups began to assemble before 313 West Twenty-third street, where Fisk's body lay. Before 11 o'clock, the group had swelled into a multitude numbering thousands. No persons, however, were admitted except members of the family and those engaged preparing for the removing of the body. A strong police force is present.

At 10:30 an undertaker's wagon arrived, containing a handsome rosewood casket with heavy gold plated mountings. While the crowd were waiting in the streets, .two artists were engaged in the lower room of the house finishing a model of the dead millionaire. The police guarded the Erie offices and Opera House, keeping open space along the sidewalk for some distance.

At 11:45 a small aud sad procession emerged from the door of 313 West Twenty-third street, bearing a casket, Six members of Fisk's regiment, in full uniform, and five men in citizen's dress carried the remains along the open space to the entrance of the Erie offices, and thence to the apartmentments prepared for them. The crowd were very impatient to see the casket and clamorous for admittance.

After a short time the lines were formed and all marched in to take one last glimpse of the dead man. The Board of Directors of the Erie Railroad met this morning, and passed resolutions expressing the deepest emotion and regret at the death of Fisk, resolving to attend the funeral in a body, and sympathizing with the widow and family of deceased also expressing a confident belief that as soon as the affairs of the Erie company is fully known, the memory of Fisk will be fully vindicated, and the calumny attached to his name dispersed.

Fisk's body as it lies in state, is dressed in full regimental uniform. The body is surrounded with flowers. The casket bears a plate on which is engraved: "James Fisk, Jr., died January 7th 1872, aged 37 years." The casket was covered with the American flag.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—Washington special to the Tribune says considerable excitement Is caused in Washington by the report thatSenor Roberts,the Spanish Minister, had demanded his passport0. After careful inquiry, however, the report proves untrue.

The Tribune also states it is reported that the Secretary of War has telegraphed to Gen. Jeff. C. Davis, Superintendent of Recruitigg Service to retain all recruits in New York city instead of sending them to Western stations as hitherto. Army officers regard this as a sign of preparation for possible hostilities.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—A Herald special from Matano via Brownsville, Texas, January 7th, says dispatches from Mier state that Gen. Trevine, revolutionary commander, will leave from Linare with 1,000 men to attack Matamo. Sultillo and Mier are said to have been occupied by government troops.

NEW ORLEANS, Janury 8.—A mob brolce into the armory last night and took about 1,000 muskets. There is great excitement, and it is feared a collision will take place. It is reported the President will declare martial law to-day or tomorrow. Troops and police are very active.

HANNIBAL, Mo., January 8.—About 2 o'clock yesterday morning while crossing from the Missouri shore to Glasscock's Island, opposite the H. & St. J. R.' R. depot, Jerry Shehan stepped through a hole in the ice and was drowned before assistance could reach him. He leaves a father and mother and three sisters and brothers.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 8.—A vote on the Cincinnati and Southern Railroad, as to whether the Ferguson bill shall be repealed or not, is now going on by members of the Chamber of Commerce, the members voting by ballot. The vote is largely against the repeal.

The freight board was inaugurated by the Board of Trade to-day to regulate and enquire into alleged freight discriminations of the different railroads.

RICHMOND, IND., Jan. 8.—Last evening at 8 o'clock, a fire broke out in the cellar of Messrs. Eckel's & Woodhurst, the room over which was occupied by them as a tin and stove store. Immediately over said store, in the second story, the Central M. E. C#Brch is located, and a large congregation were listening to the eloquence of their minister.

When the alarm of fire was given, the congregation at once made a rush for the only door leading from the church to the street, although the minister ordered the congregation to remain seated and not heed a little fire like this while they momentarily were exposed to an eternal fire, but this was unavailing, and pell-mell down stairs they went, several getting severely hurt. The fire department promptly reduced the flames and the damage was light. The fire is supposed to be the work of an iucendiary.

I i(| I) ttis & Seeded Reforms.

The recent decisions of Judge Blair, in the State suits, furnish an illustration of the wisdom of Grant's remark, that the way to get- rid of an odious law was to enforce it. We hope the Attorney-Gen-eral will take the cases to the Supreme Court without deiay, and if, as is now decided, a public officer who feloniously appropriates public money to his private use, can not be required by law to make restitution, the law must be changed. We do not believe it is fhelaw, and shall not believe it, until the highest court of the State shall afiirm the decisions recently rendered. If, however, the Supreme Court shall affirm the decisions, we shall then urge prompt and efficient legislation to meet the vicious eonsequences of judicial construction. Mr. Ryan, the Treasurer of Statej has something lik* *v million of dollars in his custody. 7

v*'.Auditorof

State,

has in his hands over seven hundred thousand dollars of the School Pund. This money could be placed where it would realize the tax-payers over one hundred thousand dollars per annum interest, without incurring any additional risk of loss. As it is, whatever is realized from it, goes into the pockets of the officers. We shall expect the Republican party in Indiana to take high ground on this subject, in the interest oi the taxpayer, and against peculating officers.— Ind. Journal.

HAIR VIGOR,

For the Renovation of the 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 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 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 ofi 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 dressing,

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.
