MAYOR THOMAS is too ill to-day to attend to business.

A FINE and much needed shower, that enjoyed this afternoon.

THE Fourth Ward Grant wigwam will be supplied with gas,—plenty of it.

SUNDAY School at Asbury and Centenary churches in the afternoon of each Sabbath.

THE matrimonial busness does not seem to flourish of late in fchis municipality. Too warm.

D. N. FOSTER, the dry goods man, will go east Wednesday of the coming week, where his wife and son have preceded him.

OUR telegraphic dispatches are short to-day, on account of the fierceness of the lightning during the time the afternoon dispatches are usually received.

COL. WM. E, MCLEAN, of this city, is to deliver a Fourth of July oration at Bono. He will speak especially of the mineral interest of that section of the county. A sensible innovation.

THE Home and Health for July is at hand. Every well regulated family should possess this excellent health and household publication $1.50 per annum. DePuy, Lyon & Co., 52 Fourth avenue, New York.

MR. G. W. INGALLS left the city this morning, for a short trip home to Springfield, Illinois. In his absence, his partner, Mr. Walker, superintends the Directory compilation. They are reliable and prompt business men.

TERRE HAUTE talent is being heavily drawn upon by the surrounding country for Fourth of July. Col. Thompson is ^announced to deliver an addreess at

Rockville Col. McLean, at Bono, and Thomas W. Harper, at Lockport.

IF ANY of the surrounding cities are short of orators for the 4th, they can be supplied in this city. We have on the list as not engaged, Messrs. Beauchamp, Briggs, Kelly, Tennant, Danaldson, and several others who can make a splendid spread-eagle speech.

MRS. F. M. BARCLAY, is desirous of giving a free lecture on hygien and health, in this city one week from Monday evening. This lady has been here before, and we believe gave a series of lectures in the Presbyterian Church, and is known to some of our citizens.

GEN. FOSTER has commenced work in this county, on a railroad which he de-signs-building from Carbon, Clay county, to a point on the Danville & Chicago Railroad, fifteen miles northwest of Covington. The road will probably touch Rosedale. Roseville, Mecca, Moutezuma, Tjodi, and Howard, in this county.— Rockville Republican.

T. W. HARPER is announced to deliver an oration at a picnic in Lockport, on the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Raili*oad, July 4. This is Tom.'ssecond effort in this line,and we hope his auditors will be as liberal as the first, which presented him with arcane, a ring and a mammoth mug of be£i*, the latter just prior to the address.

PAT. FARRELL, was arrested by Officer Lee yesterday on a charge of drunkenuess. When he escaped from the clutches of the law, Pat's beligerence got the better of his discretion, and he made beligerent demonstrations toward the officer aforesaid, who took him before the Mayor, who fined him $9, in default of wflich he was sent to the Station House.

IT was amusing to see a prominent young member of the Bar ride on the pilot of "The Treasurer," while on the C. & T. exoursion day before yesterday. While the engine was in rapid motion, bovines and swine would run across the track in front. The disciple of Blackstone would quickly assume the perpendicular, to prevent his immaculate pantsftqm getting blood on them, in the event the animals should cognejp ggntftci with the "oo^-catcher,"

THE chances of our American Csesar for the second term grow beautifully less day by day.

IN our advertisement columns will be found a notice of pure unadulterated milk for sale. By leaving orders at Turner & Shillito's, you can have the best milk ever delivered in this city. The famous Aldernies, imported from Europe by S. W. McDonald, have no superior as milch cows. The stock is noted the world over.

"THE fools are not all dead" yet. We are reminded of this truthful "old saying" by the fact that one of them is now endeavoring to walk 100 consecutive hours, in a not over clean saloon in this city, for $100. He has succeeded so far, without sleeps we understand, and his time will close at 10 o'clock to-night. He will earn his money if he does succeed. ______

MESSES Deter and Carter, the gentlemen whom we referred to in our report of the C. & T. H. R. R. excursion yesterday, as boring for coal near Corry, along the line of that road, recently purchased 160 acres of land where they are now boring, for $4,500, and the following week were offered double that amount. They refused the temptiug offer because they could do better.

FROM Vincennes we bear of Miss Mary Ann Pilard as an eminently qualified teacher of the voice and piano. She is said to be the finest pianist in that city and in addition to her private class, teaches in the public schools.—Benham's Musical Review, Indianapolis.

And a near relative of hers graduated at St. Mary's, a few days since, with high honors. She too, we judge, has considerable musical talent.

WE trust those who are able will donate freeley to the $10,000 fund to be raised by the citizens of Terre Haute in order to secure the proposed liberal donation of $25,000 from Chauncey Rose, Esq., to secure a public library to the city—an institution greatly needed. This offer is a liberal one and we hope that it may not be lost because of a lack of interest manifested by the people in taking speedy measures to secure the same.

THE Chicago Inter-Ocean of recent date says: A man named McClosky shot himself twice the other evening, in Leavenworth, in attempt at suicide. Liquor was the cause.

This alludes to the suicide of Robert McCosky, a former resident of this place as a carpenter, once in the employ of Samuel Reese, Esq., the well known builder. An account of his tragic end appeared in the Evening GAZETTE several days since.

IN the Charleston Plaindealer we find the following matrimonial announcement:

MARRIED—By Rev. E. D. Wilkin, of Mattoon, at the residence of the bride's parents, at eight o'clock oa Tuesday evening, June 25,1872, Master Edwin H. Wiley, of the United States Navy, and Miss Ella I. Gage, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gage, of this city.

Young Wiley was a classmate of Midshipman John D. Keeler, of this city. Both the bride and groom have many devoted friends in Illinois and elsewhere, who unite in wishing them well.

MR. HAWKINS, late proprietor of the Sherman House, is said to be desirous of selling the Terre Haute House, in Terre Haute.—Ind. Eve. Neios.

We don't know how true this statement is, but we think it cannot be founded on fact. The Messrs. Hawkins, since they have taken this mammoth institution in charge, have added to its availability and beautified it fifty per cent., by improving it in various ways both inside and out. It is liberally patronized and the proprietors are doing a good business. We cannot see why they wish to dispose of so valuable a property.

JOHN BELL and John Burton, having imbibed too freely from the cup that cheers, repaired to Third street, early yesterday morning, and cheerfully entered upon the playful pastime of wheeling each other to and fro on the sidewalk, creating a disturbance.' While this was fun for the boys, it was death to the dreams of citizens in that vicinity and the first' thing these gentle boys knew, the

stars,

shooting stars, descend­

ed upon them. Th6y (the boys) gave bail for their appearance yesterday at 4 o'clock, but failed to appear, their bail being no better than straw, we understand. They will have a hearing this afternoon sometime.

"'PHI," in a letter of special correspondence to the Indianapolis Sentinel descriptive of the Commencement exercises at Bloomington, among other things says: "The African," G. W. Cumuiiugs, Terre Haute. This was a very dispassionate and sensible address, flinging aside the veil of party prejudice and looking at him as he really is, giving him the full benefit of his virtues and his short comings. Though we cannot believe as he does, yet he certainly made an excellent and able speech. Had he chosen some other subject he could have done still better.

There's where the genius of our esteemed friend manifests itself. He is amply able, and cheerfully handles some subject from which his associates shrink.

UPWARD AND ONWARD.—The Fort Wayne Gazette, of June 24th says: "Our citizens will learn with pleasure that the recent establishing of the large dry goods house in Grand Rapids, Michigan, by our popular firm of Foster Brothers, has been signally successful, and that they are doing the largest retail business done at that poiut.

NEW YORK, June 29.—The strikes in this city have almost reached a termination. The workingmen, with few exceptions, are seeking to return to the shops, and the only activity manifested is on the side of the employers. The employers in the stone cutting trade, the majority of whom haye granted eight hours to the strikers, have resolved to join the general association of employers, and will probably resume ten hours. In the furniture trade most of the men are working ten hours. A number of the marble shops have returned to the ten hour system, and the whole of the carpenter trade will probably resume ten hours many bosses have done so already. The Eight Hour League yesterday made preparations to unite in a workingmen's parade on August 1st.

Negotiations for a compromise between the Order of Orangemen and those of Roman Catholics have been brought to a close on account of the advanced state of of the preparations for the parade.

Messrs Meany White and Cony Ing-. ham intend to issue cards to their Roman Catholic congregations, asking them to desist from taking any part in the demonstration on July 12th. It is stated the Orangemen were intent on parading, and will do so in full force and full regalia of their order.

NEW YORK, June 29th.—The Time's special from Washington, says there is knowledge of a characteristic bargain between Greeleymen and Democrats. It is said that in return for endorsement of Greeley at Baltimore, the latter's sup. porters will in every way assist Democratic candidates for Congress and State Legislature, and Democrats thus expect to have a majority in the next House and a large #umber in the Senate.

NEW YORK, June 29.—The Tribune, this morning, publishes an editorial on the Baltimore outlook. It says the whole number of votes in the Baltimore Convention is fixed at 732, or twice that of the whole vote of the Electoral College. Two-thirds of the, vote of the convention will be 488, so that the Liberal^element already directed to Baltimore, will have 121 votes, more than two-thirds. It is pretty clear the Liberal programme will be adopted on the first ballot. The States yet to be heard from will undoubtedly augment this Liberal strength. The Tribune says the young and generous Democracy of the west have spoken in their State Conventions in Springfield, Indianapolis and Cleveland in language which ought to fill with hope and courage every one wishing well to his country.

NEW YORK, Juue 29.—Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour was installed as Sachem of the Tammany Society last night. In his address to the members, he announced himself favorable to the Cincinnati movement.

PARIS, June 29.—Serious political symptoms are again becoming manifest in the Assembly, and it is not improbable that a Cabinet crisis will shortly occur. The Right have resolved on adopting active opposition to the Government Conservatives. It is determined to support McMahon for the office of Chief Executive in the eveut of Thiers carrying out his repeated threat of resignation or being compelled to resign by the exigencies of the political situation.

The Committee of the Budget have appointed Pierre Magne, a well known Imperialist, and formerly Minister under Napoleon, to the position of Reporter to the Committee on Appointment. This causes considerable annoyance to leading bankers and financiers, who view it as highly antagonistic to the interests of the Republic and as fresh steps toward Imperialism. The public and undisguised appointment of so prominent an Imperialist as Magne is believed to be a prelude to an inevitable crisis in the government.

NEW YORK, June 29 —Reported "case of Asiatic cholera occurred at Seaport, Long Island.

MADRID, June 29.—The Spanish Government issued an official mandate order ing the release of Dr. Howard.

Count Valmezeda, Captain General of Cuba, will shortly arrive here on a visit to the King. Gen. Caballo has been appointed Captain General during the interim. The object of the visit has not been made public, but is generally believed to be for the purpose of consultation on the Cuban question.

TAYLORSVILLE, IND., June 28.—A destructive fire occurred here this morning. The fire broke out in G. W. Becker's drug store, and burned four business houses and saloons, and four barns and stables. Loss, $12,000 insurance $4,500. The depot was on fire twice, but was saved.

THE HOD. James A. Garfield has been ordered to Montana to remove the Flat Heads. If the order is obeyed, we fear Montana will be depopulated.

TERRE HAUTE, IND.: SATURDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 29, 1872.

DEATH OF THE "OLDEST INHABITANT."

Her Grateful Career Made Happy in Old Age. Mrs. Phoebe

Scofield,

the oldest per­

son in Indiana, and perhops in the United States, died at Richmond last Tuesday. The history of this lady is a remarkable one, in more respects than one. She was born in Precipitoli, Morris county, New Jersey, on Juue 5, 1767. Her father, Stephen Woodruff, served the Continental army, dying in the service, at Fort Stanwix. During her minority she was at one time a domestic in the house of Governor George Clinton, of New York. At the close of the revolutionary war she married Lewis Scofield, who had served through the war, having enlisted at the age of sixteen as a private. About the beginning of the present century she came West with her husband and settled in the wilderness on Mill Creek, between Hamilton and Cincinnati. In 1812 they came to Connersville, in this State. There her husband died, in 1836, at the age of seventy-eight years. About this time Mrs. Scofield, being in bad health, took into her home a girl named Sally Hedge. This girl she afterward adopted as her daughter, and she was subsequently married to a man named James Loughridge. They all lived together at Connersville for some years, and then removed to Greencastle, thence to Danville, thence to Burlington, Iowa, and finally back to Danville. While at Burlington, Loughridge wrote to Mrs. Scofield's relations in Richmond that she was dead. This story "was, however, only part of a plan on the part of the hearties* wretch to rid himself of the woman who had befriended and reared his wife. On returning to Danville, he thrust her iuto the County Poor House. She at first avoided the disgrace she felt to attach to the name of pauper by supporting herself (although over ninety years old) by the labor of her hands. This she did for some months, but was finally obliged to succumb, aud find refuge in the almshouse. Fortunately Mrs. Schofield owned a lot in Connersville, arid a question as to the title set inquiries on foot, which resulted in the discovery of her whereabouts by her niece, Mrs. Susan Moore, of Richmond. Mrs. Moore had her brought home to her house at once, and tenderly cared for her till the day of her death. The readers of the Sentinel will remember the account of her recent trip to Washington, where she spent some four months in a finally successful effort to secure a pension Mrs. Scofield retained all her faculties, in a most remarkable degree, till the day of her death.—Indianapolis Sentinel^

An Appeal to Republicans. MT. VERNON, N. H., June 24.

To the Editor of the Chicago Tiroes: SIR If you are only moderately intelligent you cannot help seeing that the Republican party, as well as the Democratic, is now in a crisis. Party lines are fast oecoming obliterated, and public spirit is taking the place of party interest. A strong desire for the country's good is beginning to be the ruling motive of men.

This is as it should be. It indicates a more healthy tone in the public morals. For the true patriot always seeks to benefit his country. In the present condition of politics, it is the duty of every individual to throw aside party considerations, and rise to the dignity of the occasion, by acting in such a manner as he honestly believes will subserve the best interests of the country.

The immediate object of the erganization of the Republican party, Freedom, being now attained, the party should advance to higher life, in earnest efforts, nobler aspirations for the good of man.

But we cannot do this without taking, as an initiative step, measures for a civil reform, it is palpably evident that, under the present Administration there is great corruption. By the President's disgraceful conduct in bestowing so many lucrative offices upon obscure and underving relations, army associates, selfish schemers, he has not only set a striking example of inordinate greed and desire for self-aggrandisement, but be has surrounded himself with an army of covetous and unprincipled officeholders, who obey all his behests, and who have no higher aim than to contrive means of keeping in office and of plurdering the Government.

Totally unfit for the position of Chief Magistrate, he thinks to make up in arrogance aud dictatorship what he lacks as a statesman. In every point of view, and in every act requiring statesmanship, he has signally failed. In his relations with Foreign Powers we see everywhere a tangle. He is,respected neither at home nor abroad, and he has made his name a censure and reproach fur all time to come.

Honest Republicans! Will you endorse the shameful course of General Grant, by voting for his re-election Will you still further prostitute the Government and justify his iniquity? If he is allowed to be the head ot the natiou, where do you think we shall be four years hence Judging from the past, we shudder at the prospect.

Arouse ye! awake to the exigencies of the hour! Read and reflect, then act conscientiously and energetically, and try what may yet be done to redeem and purify our beloved land

M. A. ROTCH. —&

Declination of Hon* David Daris.gg| CHICAGO, Jun&27„—The followiug is a copy of the letter sent by Hon. David Davis to the President of the Columbus Convention declining a nomination

BLOOMINGTON, June 24,1872.

Hou. E. M. Chamberlain, President Columbus Convention, Boston Mass. MY DEAR SIR :—The National Convention of Labor Reformers on the 22d of February last, honored me with a nomination as their candidate for President. Having regarded that movement as the ininitiation of a policy and purpose to unite the various political elements in a compact opposition, I consented to the use of my name before the Cincinnati Convention, where a distinguished citizen of New York was nominated. Under the circumstances, 1'deem it proper-to retire absolutely from the Presidential contest, and leave the friends who were generous enough to offer me their voluntary support, free to obey their convictions of duty unfettered by any supposed obligation.

Sympathizing earnestly with all just and proper measures by which the condition of labor may be elevated and improved, .... 1 am, with great respect, 'iJ, "V

Your fellow citizen, DAVID DAVJS.

A CRAZY lunatic at the* Depot last evening _attr£iQt3jJ a crowd by making Grant speeches at a nickle apiece. A review of Morton was given for three cents, a sum he said sufficient to exhaust the subject.—Ind. Eve. News.

AMiss ROACH, aged seven years, forwarded from the far West by her grand parents arrived in the city last evening in search ol her mother, who recently married a wau panaed Stumph.—Ind. Sentinel,

Laura Ream in the Missouri Democrat.

Dr. Huston on the Cars.

Speaking of sinning and being sinned against, on my way home, by the Baltimore & Ohio route, I was told that Dr. Huston was on the train. Turning my head, he was pointed to me. He was seated in the rear end of the coach, with his back to the front. By his side was a lady closely veiled—his wife. He was engaged in reading, and had the air of not taking in the sense of what was before his eyes. I noticed minutes passed without bis turning a page. Innocent or guilty, there wasevervthing in his appearance to indicate a miserable man. He looked neither to the right nor left, and talked to people without raising his eyes. He talked considerably to his wife, and seemed to be pointing to the sdenery. But I doubt not if their worst misery hereafter be not each other's society. It is impossible to give a very correct idea of a man who does not look at one, but as outward seeming goes, he is a man about five feet ten inches in height, and squarely built, with an appearance of having lost flesh. His clothes bung loosely upon him, or were, in the first place, an abominable fit. Apparently over fifty years of age, he has the dragging step and gait of three score ani ten: His hair, which was generally brown, is pretty well mixed with gray, and his beard, which he wears long, is bordered and underlaid with gray, the surface varying from brown to fox and blasted yeliow. He wore an old black straw hat, which, when removed, revealed a large head and narrow forshead, the nose being a straight line from the bridge up. Itwas the nose of a bon vivant without being red and then there was no particular expression in the moustached mouth. The pale, round blue eyes were cold and dead, and then there was altogether in the face, and limp, nerveless hands, the personification of under the ban. He may rally, but there seems nothing left to him but to die. He was accompanied by a sleek brother in the Lord, who was painfully watchful of his comfort, and guarded him strictly from intrusion.

NEW ORLEANS, June 27.—Col. Geo. W. Carter publishes his valedictory as editor of the National Republican. He retires because he cannot support the State ticket recently nominated at Baton Rouge. In giving the reasons for his withdrawal, he says, "the wishes of the Republican people were thwarted by certain Federal officers in the convention, aud that, too, largely by the use of the force which could be borrowed from the Federal patronage in the State of Louisiana. The grand doctrine which I understand to be the very foundation, not only of the Republican party, but also of all Republican governments, that rulers should be selected by the people was wantonly trampled upon and a ticket was presented which, in a word, represents simply the preference and choice chiefly of the Federal offices within the State.—Associated Press Dispatches.

REPUBLICANS will recollect how the country was shocked eighteen years ago by the brutal attack of Preston S. Brooks of South Carolina upon Charles Sumner. This attack was made with a heavy bludgeon, in the Senate chamber, which felled Sumner to the floor and stained the carpet with blood. The sole provocation for this assault, which for many months kept Mr. Sumner's life trembling in the bala,nce, was a speech by him in the Senate against slavery.

We had supposed that the time had long since passed when any Northern man could be found hardy enough to apologize for, or even make sport of this murderous outrage. But weare mistaken. A receut number of theUtica Herald, the home organ of the Hon. Roscoe Conkling, says "It seems that ever since the attack of Brooks, Senator Sumnerhas been a sorehead." The ferocity of Brooks is fully equalled by the brutality of his Republican rival.

IF it will give the Albany Evening Journal any pleasure to know the truth, we infqrm it that the Chicago Tribune does not concede the Electoral vote of Illinois to Grant. On the contrary, we expect that the Greeley Electoral ticket and the Greeley ticket for State officers will be elected in this State that a majority of the Greeley candidates for Congress will be elected and that the friends of Mr. Greeley will elect a majority of both branches of the Legislature, thus securing the United States Senator. We hope the Albany Journal will find comfort in the assurance that things are as bad for Grant elsewhere as they are in New York and, that when the revolution is general, it ceases to have any mere local reflection.—Chicago Tribune.

Grumblers at Newspapers. Horace Greeley thus hits the nail on the head "It is strange how closely men read the papers. We never saw anything that anybody didn't like, but we soon heard of it. If, however, once in a while we happen to say a good thing, we never hear of that nobody seems to notice that. We may pay some man a hundred compliments, and give him a dozen puffs, and.he takes it all as a tribute to his greatnl&s, and he never thinks of it never thinks it does him any good. But if we happen to say things this man don't like, or something that he imagines is a reflection on him or his character, see how quick he flares up and gets mad about it. All our evils are duly charged to us, but we never, apparently, get any credit for what good we do."
