A SERIOUS MISHAP.—Mrs. Moulton has met with a great loss, and one in which she will have much sympathy. When in France, she was presented with a very valuable treasure in the shape of a pair of gold and diamond bracelets tor the arms, oue from the Emperor Napoleon and the other from the Empress Eugenie. Eveuiug before last, she broke one of them, and last evening at the grand Opera House .was so unfortunate as to break the other. They were of such rare workmanship and style that she cannot have them repaired in this country, as they were so simple as to keep in position by their own tension, being constructed so as to compress the arm without having any fasteuing. Many of our readers will remember her taking one^of them from her arm last evening during the entertainment, though while off the stage.
will be our candidate for President?" Howl and blow, blow and howl. This brace of beauties reminds one of that shiny fish— "Still shining as it stinks,
And stinking as it shines."
By all means let "B. Oer" free his mind again.

NEW BREAD.—An agricultural correspondent desire3 to know the difference between the "Smartville B. Oer" and the "Public Baby Howlist"—are they not identical, or are they a brace of the new "mixed" breed of "bores?" We respectfully refer the question to the Secretary of the State Board of Agricultural, who is qualified to decide matters of "mixed breeds." Should he fail to give a satisfactory solution, the universal suffragists, male and female, wilb determine this new "breed of mixed 'bores.' Does not "Prentice Mulford," the matured infant, agree with tins Smartville horn—blowino- "B. Oer" in thinking that "Grant 6J street reported in favor of it, the work ®mn Tha rnnnrf U'oa r»mniirrpn
THE ALARM TELEGRAPH AGAIN.— Does the city need a fire alarm telegraph system at this time? is a question frequently asked us. We think so but can she afford it, is our Coufjter query? If rates of iusurance cau be thus lessened, we should think to purchase the mechanism would be economy. If the agents of the city will agree to lower their rates, the proprietor of the "alarm" company should be seriously and favorably con« sidered. So far as water is concerned, such improvement as suggested by these gentlemen, though their representatives will certainly economise what liitle Terre Haute has.' In the event of our getting water works, «svhich now looks favorable, this system will be a good thing, auyhow. If we are not to have water works soon, the improvements offered by the company could be economically appropriated at a reasonable consideration. vs.
PERSONAL.—E. Becker, Esq., has gone East after a full stock of clothing. Dr. Stephenson returned from the sad funeral rites of his beloved and beautiful daughter, last evening.

YESTERDAY'S Iudianapolis Jpentlnel says: :r
The Terre Haute GAZETTE
and
the
Indi
anapolis People both contain an ill-ad-"Vised sneer at WmW* of the Indiana & Central Complete their road. In Hendricks county
sub-contractors are already making arrangements to commence work of grading, and our reporter is informed by responsible parties that President Hammond has capital at his command to carry forward the work. The Indiana & Illinois Central will
be built, these "organs"
to the contrary notwithstanding,aad when, completed will be a grand line separate from any other now running west.
We have no objection to urge to the building of the Iudiana & Illinois Central Railroad. What the Sentinel alludes to as being a sneer from the GAZETTE in regard to the proposed construction of this line was simply in regard to the vain boasting of a cotemporary which we thought deserving of rebuke. However, it seems to take along time to build #iis road, as we remember of hearing just such assertions as those above, made at Decatur, years ago, when we were there very much of our time. We then thought that ere this the Indiana & Illinois Central Railroad would celebrate the driving of the last spike. As we were doomed to disappointment then, when we hear just such boasts reiterated, we do feel more or less like giving vent to the feelings of doubt which possess us. We feel a great interest in the construction of railroads* and in fact all internal improvements, which have for their object the general improvement of the country and the advancementof the best interests of the inhabitants of that country.

SEVERAL days since we announced the severe illness of Judge Shaw, of Olney, Illinois. The day we made the announcement his family telegraphed for his two young and interesting daughters to come home from St. Mary's at ouce. They did so, and when they arrived and had been there b*ut a short time, it was discovered that their father was afflicted with the small-pox. The Judge is doing well, but serious fears and apprehensions are felt of the safety of the daughters, as they have been exposed to the malady. —Terre Haute Gazette.
The diagnosis of Judge Shaw's case was made before the arrival of his daughters, and they were not permitted to see him after their arrivai so the acquaintances of those young ladies at. Terre Haute can be relieved of their apprehensions.— Vincennes Sun.
More About Beggars and Burglars. City Editor Evening Gazette:
rar
Relative to able-bodied beggars the following dialogue may not be out of plftce: Beggar—"I want to get some dinner." "You are too late dinneris over." L". "Then I want something to eat." "You are within a mile of town go in town and get something to eat.".. "I have no money." "Well, it is a shame for a stout, strong man like yourself to be begging bread. There is no man needs to bee in this country, if he is willing to work.",
And away he went, muttering. The night following a near neighbor had a valuable horse stolen. D.
The above is but one of many such instances, and should pot people on their {guard against these itinerant, able-bodied "beats," who do not" seek something .to eat butsomething to steal. The instance alluded to by the above ^ell-known eitizens and business man was the day preceding the evening a valuable horse was stolen from Joseph Blake, Esq., of which t«D» was reminded by reference to our suggestions under the head of "Beggars and Burglars" in yesterday's Evening GAZETTE. We trust our suggestions and the instance cited will guard many from

On Saturday afternoon, a fire at Oconto destroyed the postoffice, Music Hall, the Lumberman newspaper office, Charles Hall's hardware store, Jules Merle's bookstore aud the huilding used by t{ieRelief Committee.
A former rector of a Virginia parish quaintly recounts an acceptable grace, as follows "After along ride, a mountaineer reached my domicile, fatigued and hungry. On inviting him to offer grace at my dinner table, he quaintly responded 'The Lord knows I am thankful enough to get this good, square meal, without much ado over it.'." "And," continues the rector, "it was the most sincere, informal Skd acceptable offering ever made from my table, for in Heaven's chancery is that glorious provision: 'No instrument void for lack of form.'" Whether this be high or low church grace is npt material. It's good style.
For the benefit of political candidates who may desire thorough preparation, we add a sample of what^hould be termed a huge or "overgrown" grace. A candidate of Hibernian descent, but an entire stranger to church formalities, called about dinner time to solioit the vote of a devout Irish brother. The candidate was invited to offer grace. Not having rehearsed much, but determined...to.P°ll the entire Hibernian vote, his ready wit suggested the following stupenduous, petition: "Great, good and overgrown God! bless the 'parathies and nice bits,' and influence the vote of giving McCarney in my favor, for Christ's sake. Amen." He was elected, probably on he fou-church platform, however. the I
