Additional Local News.

HON. D. W. VOORHEES has been engaged as counsel for Mrs. Clem, and will conduct the case for the defense on her next trial.—2nd. Sentinel.

WE have received the annual report of the Military Post Library Association for 1871, an interesting, sensationally statistical publication, issued from the headquarters of the association, No. 58 Broadway, New York. When in the course of human events we shall have had time to peruso its checkered pages, we will be ready to report as to its contents, and tell an expectant reading public all about It.

THE genial young local of the Terre Haute GAZETTEnever loses an opportunity of saying a good word for somebody. The other day he referred to Johnny Allen, the ex-" nigger singer,"as a perfect gentleman, and called Joe Emmett "a blacktruard of a disreputable class." We are now prepared to have him draw the distinction between tweedledum and tweedle dee,—Ind. Sentinel.

We don't remember of referring to Johnny Allen in such complimentary terms. What we did say in his favor, was on the authority of the complimentary and enthusiastic notices he received from the Indianapolis press, where he played a long engagement, and from the press notices, we judge a successful one. What we said of Emmett, we know to be true, from our own observations of his conduct while here. If Johnny Allen does likewise while in, our city, we shall say so if we are aware of it, aiid not "puff" him as did the press of the Capital city, when we know lie does not deserve it.

TERRE HAUTE, March 19,1872.

Gentlemen of the Common Council of the City of Terre Haute: In the proceedings of your honorable body, held on the 21st day of November, 1871, in relation to the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railroad coming into the city, it was then decided that the location of the said railroad through the city limits.be left, for further consideration, and the Mayor, City Engineer, and the Chief Engineer of the said railroad, were directed to make an examination of the various routes proposed consult the wishes of the people along the line of the road and to fix upon a location for the railroad through the city limits.

We, the undersigned, would therefore report that we have given the subject a great deal of attention, it being one of considerable importance, and have, after considering the various routes that have been proposed, and on which surveys have been made, and consulting the wishes of the citizens iu the vicinity of the proposed location, as contemplated in your action on the 21st of November, 1871 and after considering the subject iu all the relations, and in accordance with a petition of the property owners on First street, sigued by one hundred and three names (of which we are assured is a large majority of the property owners on First street,) asking that said railroad be located on said street. We have, therefore, agreed to the following:

That the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railroad Company shall enter the city of Terre Haute with its road bed and rolling stock at the southern boundary of the city, on Fh-st street, and ruuuing north in upon and along said First street, to make such connections as may be agreed upon with the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad, and the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad, in the northern portion of the city.

A Feminine Opinion of the Masculines. A lady has communicated to the press the following concerning her views on the sterner sex: "I think it is too bad that we feminines can not dress or arrange our hair to suit ourselves without the gents trying to imitate us. If we part our hair in the middle, they must needs go and do likewise, so that we must either look as much like them as possible, or part our hair on the side. If we have small waists, they also put on stays and squeeze themselves almost out of shape. As they can not wear ear rings or long curls, they wax their mustaches until they look like the points of a needle attached to a compass they ought to wear tassels on the end of them or bows of fancy ribbon to relieve the stiff look. I think Darwin must have had one of our fashionable city gents with him when he came to the conclusion that man was originally one of the monkey race, for I think they certainly do look very much like it—even now, in this enlightened age."

A New Fashioned Snow.

The snow which blocked the. Union Pacific Railroad is described as a peculiar kind of snow. It would pack aud soon become as hard as ice. The snow-plows, driven up against it with the united force of four locomotives, would hardly make an impression. The only way to get it out was to dig trenches every six feet down to the rails, and then use the snow plows. But thfct was not always successful. At one time three engines were thrown from the track and the SMOW-PIOW smashed in trying to get through, when to the eye it would seem that oue engine could go through without ifflculty. At some points, says a letterwriter, have seen the snow so hard that the engines would leave the rails and run right up upon it, mounting it as though it was a fliut rock. You would not believe that, unless you could see it, but it is true. I did not believe'it till I saw it, for it seems incredible.

Growing Old Happily.

Rogers, the celebrated English poet, said once to a friend that he thought one enjoyed life more at seventy that at seventeen, for. sajd he, then one has all the pleasures of life with none of the early Uotherments of love. He once visited the botanical gardens with a young friend, who, much delighted with a flower she saw there, said "Tell me, Mr. Rogers, what is its botanical name?" The wist? old poet replied, "Don't ftsk me, my dear 1 love flower too muob to call them names." At a very advanced age he lost his only brother. On this occasion he said to oue with whom he was intimate, "He is a great loss to me lie was the only persou to whom I was still young." —TV

Suit to Recover.

Bowen, of the Independent, has been sued by a veuerable engraver, named Barbour, about 80 years old. Bowen en waged him to make five cuts, the first of which was called "The Pathway to Heaven." Subscribers raised a howl about the picture, which was about as good, however, as the rest of Bo wen's cuts Bowen countermanded the order, but Barbour filled his commission. Bowen showed the Pathway to Heaven to the jury to-day, and instantly got a verdict in Ills favor. This settles jc that he ueedn't pay for any of the Independent cuts unless charitably inclined. New

Mr. Banks offered an amendment that no person shall be employed as a reporter of the proceedings of the House without the approval of the Speaker.

The amendment was agreed to. The Speaker remarked after the vote, that if it had not been adopted, the irresponsible reporters who had no official connection with the House would remain subjected to his directions as to assigning seats to them, while he would haue no control whatever over the official reporters.

Mr. Ambler offered an amendment directing the Committee on Printing to publish for three months an advertisement in at least one leading paper in each State, inviting proposals for reporting and printing the debates officially of Congress, and also to have estimates made of the cost of repoitiug and publishing the debates by the Congressional Printer, and providing that no debates shall be reported and published after the close of the present Congress except on a written contract entered into therefor by the authority of Congress.

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS. Col. McGee, of Kansas City, has organized a kind of "Bill and Jo convention" of his own. About two months ago, Col. McGee received a fine Berkshire sow, which was turned loose in the same lot occupied by his pet black bear. The two animals soon became attached to each other, and before they had been together many days it was discovered that the Dear would invariably save part of its food for its porcine companion. About a week ago, however, it was found the two had formed a still closer alliance, had formed a more intimate, co-partnership, and were occupying the same bed. This was kept up until a few nights ago, when it was discovered that Bruin and bis partner had increased tlteir happy family by the addition of a cow, all three being found cosily sleeping together.

DR. JAMES A. MCDONOUGH, a Roman Catholic, in a Berlin court, last week, refused to be sworn as a witness upon the Evangelists, merely saying that he considered the usual method more binding. Judge Lord remonstrated with him, citing Chief-Justice Tauey's and Bishop Fenwick's course as a precedent but the witness adhered to his determination. Upon this the court sent him to jail but a writ of habeas corpus has been issued, and the matter will go before the full bench of the Supreme Court, although there have been two decisions of a similar case by that court within a short time. What the real reason of the Doctor was for refusingto take the oath upon the Evangelists is not stated.

GIANT POWDER IN A GUN.—A friend of ours went out gunning a day or two ago. He had read about the explosive force of giant powder. He wanted to have his gun to shoot a long ways at some ducks, and he put giant powder in the gun, instead of regular sporting powder. He fired at the ducks and the whole of the breech of his shot guu gave way. Giant powder always bottoms its hole. Dr. McCormick had only to pick out a few pieces of gun barrel from the face and arms of the snorting fnan to make things all right, but it is unhealthy to use it in a shot gun.—Grass Valley Union, *March 6.

"PERLEY" writes to the Boston Journal from Washington "Last fall a society of storng-minded females undertook to reform the social evil here among other penitent converts was the keeper of a notorious resort, who closed her establishment and was exhibited as a specimen of the good work. She has flow brought a suit against the 'Woman's Club' to recover the arrearages on her promised salary of $75 per month until she had been provided with a place in the Treas&ry, which, of course, she has never obtained."

MISERIES OF INDOLENCE.—None so little enjoy life, and are such burdens to themselves, as those who have nothing to do, for, "A want of occupation is not rest—

A mind quite vacant is a mind distressed." Such a man is out jf God's order, and opposing his obvious design in the faculties he has given him, and the condition in which he has placed him. The active only have the true relish of life. He who knows not what it is to labor, knows not what it is to enjoy.

A WOMAN in San Francisco has opened a billiard saloon. The room is hand-, somely fitted up, and the tables, ten in number, are of the Phelan & Collender make. The markers and bar-tenders are also women, and the establishment boasts a large patronage. The proprietor is young and pretty, and handles the cue deftly. The other billiard room proprietors are trying to buy her off, but she will not sell. She promises, however, in time to take in a partner.

THE Rev. Robert M. Hatfield, who used to be a Methodist clergyman in Chicago, recently delivered a discourse against the theater and opera, in which he denounced actors and singers, and said that Nilsson, Parepa-Rosa, Charlotte Cushman, and Carlotta Patti were were a nest of unclean birds. "Alas for the rarity of Christian charity under the sun!" The world must be a very dark place to,the Rev. B. M. Hatfield.

HORACE GREELEY, we presume', is the author of a recent editorial in the Tribune on the "Leg Drama," in which we find such expressions as "trim figures," "rebellious underneath the satin waistcoat "white wrists, gleaming like living pearls "glancing ankles and embroidered flaps and delicious silk breeches "luxuriantwomanhood "ravishing image of ripe animal joy and wicked coquettish power." Horace is getting frisky in bis old age.
