LOOK out for mad dogs in the city.

OUR telegraph report failed us to-day, because of the lines being down in various places, occasioned by the storms.

MESSRS. TULLY & Co., of thiscity, have made a proposition to light the city of Terre Haute, Indiana, with gasoline.— Springfield Register.

THERE is a muscular expressman daily on duty in the city who bears a striking resemblance to Gov. Hoffman, of New York.

H. BLOOD, of this city,has been awarded the contract of laying the brick for the Sullivan county Court House. It will be well done.

THE raiu of last afternoon will prove a material benefit to the fruit crop, -which was sadly in need of justsush a refreshing shower.

IT IS supposed that the Adams Express Company will run messengers on the C. & T. H. Railway, when opened, as it is in their territory.

EDMUNDS 'aud Frank Clark will bolt the Baltimore Convention with the little Journal. In force, however, this bolt will not excel a thunderbolt.

THERE is talk of a sale of the Terre Haute House. Col. Gaoffrey, of Cincinnati, is the man who wants it. $5,000 difference of opinion is what ails them.

ED. JOHNSON ccyitemplates calling his infantile, and exceedingly pretty, son, Horace Brown Johnson. Such a name will insure the youth a glorious future.

CRAWFORD & O'BOYLE are doing a nice business in boots and shoes. They keep two traveling men on the road, and are doing much to advertise the city.

THE shower of last night prov®t a great blessing in this municipality, and we are not sure but it came in answer to our special request in the GAZETEE of last evening.

THE surviving members of the old 14th Indiana volunteers, are solicited to attend a meeting of the survivors of that regiment, at the Council Chamber this evening.

IN another column will be found a communication from President Hammond, denying that the road he represents is to be abandoned from Montezuma to ludianapolis.

POSTMASTER BROWN, of Sullivan, can't see who could even think of deserting President Grant at the period of his usefulness. Of course not, if holding a position under him.

THE excursion trains to Indianapolis left yesterday at 5 and 6 P. M. This promptness caused about 75 or 100 Indianapolitans to remain over in Terre Haute uutil another day.

THREE quiet and unobtrusive druuks enjoyed the hospitality of John Smith's very private boarding-house, and were dismissed this morning with a benediction from the resident chaplain, J. Smith.

B. B. TYLER, of Terre Haute, will preach for the Church of Christ, in the town of Annapolis, on Thursday evening of each week, beginning on the 11th. First subject—"Second Coming of Christ."—JRockvillc Patriot.

A GENTLEMAN of this city authorizes us to say that he will bet $5,000 that Greeley, if he lives, will be the next President of the United States. Any person wishing to invest can learn particulars by calling at this office.

THE Rockville Patriot publishes a very amusing dialogue between General Steele and P. T. Barnum. While it is not so solid reading as "elements of law," it is as much more exhilarating, and makes the youthful laugh instead of weep.

MESSRS. TOWNSEND & TULLER, of the Terre Haute Ice Company, are doing ail extensive business. Their teams are on the go from 1 o'clock A. M., to 9 P. M. Their stock of ice is large, and they are very prompt iu delivering to customers.

BOLD BURGLARY.

How a Robber Hounded Young Halstead and was Captured.

Don't Fool With tbe Halsteads.

A few day since, a son of Reuben Halstead, of this county (relatives of Murat Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial), came to the city and drew three hundred dollars from a prominent city bank, and left for home with it shortly afterwards. A dogged-looking fellow followed him afar off, though he paid H. no attention to it. Arriving home late in the evening, Mr, Halstead retired soon after. He bad not been in his room but a short time, until his mother called to him that there was someone about the premises who had no business there. The ni*an she had discovered was. in his bare feet, and ran rapidly around the house from the presence of Mrs. Halstead, who called her son to her, and the twain went in search of the intruder, Mr. H. being armed with a revolver. They entered into a back room where they discovered the transgressor pulling on his boots, and observing the formidable appearance of the apparition, the dr.iing scoundrel disappeared through a window near by, leaping to the ground, and running to the orchard, closely followed and finally overhauled and captured by the plucky young man, who placed the cocked pistol to his ear and marched him back to the house.

Here the trio were joined by Mr. Halstead, Sr., armed with a terriffic war club, and in a very sanguinary frame of mind, shouting, "Let me at him with this club that's the way to get rid of such fellows." However, Mr. H. reconsidered his request, and the gentlemen secured the $300 which the fellow had stolen, marched him to town, and give him a hearing before 'Squire Dennehie, yesterday afternoon, who held him to bail in the sum of $300, in default of which the impudent bloodhound thief was sent.to jail to await the action of the Grand Jury. His trial was an exceedingly spirited affair. We could not get his true name.

INDIANA & ILLINOIS CESTRAL R. R.

Letter from President Hammond. ROCKVILLE, July 8, 1872. lion. T. N. Rice and others:

GENTLEMEN I have just received your communication of this date, asking me by what time you may be assured of the completion of the I. & I. C. Railway through this county, if the amount of money is raised which was formerly pledged, and whether we have any engagements or alliances with other railroads.

In reply I would say that if there is no delay in obtaining for us the promised right of way as spon as the survey is completed, the road through this county will be completed in the early -part of the year 1873 and that we have no alliances or engagements with other railroads which can, in any manner, effect or retard the building of the I & I. C. Railway from Decatur to Indianapolis, through Parke county and if you make good the fact that we sh^Jl receive our promised donations and subscriptions, we shall build the road on that line and at the earliest possible moment. Overtures have been made to the I. & I. C. R. R. Company's present management to turn from its present direction, and join auother railroad. These have never been entertained, and its managers desire to make this road what was intended, a part of some great East and West trunk railroad, and not a branch or tributary to some other road now built, of no greater importance. The present management have never given you reason to believe they intended to do anything else. Yours truly,

H. B. HAMMOND. Pres't. I & C. R. R. Co.

THE Printing House paper says, editorially: Senator Thomas P. Bayard, of Delaware, was the only Bourbon Democrat who dared to raise his voice in the Baltimore Convention yesterday in opposition to the bargain by which his party was disorganized and dishonored.

Dared is good! Mr. Bayard had a selfish motive to back his daring. He wanted the nomination himself, and thought he could bully it through. Alas! where, oh where, is Bayard? The eyes of "little Delaware" search for him in vain, and would fain be "on him." He's joiued the dqgjmated ranks of the Bourbon bolters and we shall hear of him no more forever.

THE following letter explains itself: INDIANAPOLIS, July 9,1872. Comrades Kuppenheimer, MuU and Briggs:

Yours, of July 1, is received, and in answer I have to say that your proposition to hold a re-union of the survivors of our old regiment meets my approval. I have long desired this, and rejoice that you have taken the matter in hand. I will, of course, attend, let the re-union be when and where it may. I have no preferences as to time only have it at such a time as will suit the greater number of our old comrades. Terre Haute, of course, must be the place. You arrange your programme to suit your own views anything will do for me, so that I once more meet with and grasp by the hand my dear old boys. Your comrade,

NATHAN KIMBALL.

Gen. Kimball, we understand, was the first Colonel of the regiment.

THE Springfield Register, of recent date, editorially says: Tbe question which absorbs public attention in the city to-day is, "Who are James Ledlie and Wm. White, of Springfield, 111.?" These gentlemen are reported to be engaged in heavy political business in Baltimore, but they seem to be totally unknown here.

How would it read, did the telegraph put it "Joe Ledlie?" We think that would establish the identity of one of the bolters, to say the least. His identity? well established, would settle the question of his influence outside of his own ward as nix.

FOUTE'S & MCKERMAN'S Band furnished some excellent street music, this morning, previous to leading the Catholic picnic excursion to Lockport to-day, a large crowd of whom entered an elegant and com for

PERRY TUTTLE, that "Heathen Chinee," has been engaged in putting up a full length portrait of himself as a sign at his store. The likeness is very striking.

TERRE HAUTE has the handsomest ladies of any city of like size in this western hemisphere. If they could but vote, there would be but few men remain from the polls.

ONE of the Bilby boys shot a dog while the animal was creating a sensation on Twelfth street, this noon, presumed to be rabid. No person or brute was bitten, so far as we could learn.

A VERY large number of persons called at Bartlett & Button's book store to-day, to see that artistic painting of the gifted artist, ^V. R. Freeman, a notice of which appeared |n the GAZETTE yesterday afternoon.

ROOSTERS wete melancholy yesterday about 4 P. M. ^They hied themselves from the view of a nauseated public to free lunch saloons, Where they made mournful the proprietors by fearful devastation.

THE time has now corbe for candidates to come down from the political fence over which they have occupied a painful position of late. Will they get down on the Greeley side, with the sheeft or get on the Bourbon side, with the »goats?

THE organ, locally, says: Rumor credits W. C. Ball, Esq., with the intention of taking an active part, as a public speaker, in the pending political canvass. Mr. Ball will advocate the election of H. G.

Mr. Ball is as amply able as any of the Grant! tes.

THERE was a rumor in town last night that two children in the country, north of town, had been killed by lightning. Inquiry failed to elicit any facts in the premises.—Express.

Proper and persistent inquiry elicited the facts in the case. Bee another column of the Evening GAZETTE, which paper publishes all the news.

CHAS. M. WEST, of the firm of Eddy & West, Indianapolis, is in the city. Charley is an "old timer" in this city, and appears to be enjoying his visit. The firm talk some of opening a store in this city for the sale of shirts and men's furnishing goods, to be run in connection with their Indianapolis house.

COLLINGS, of the Patriot, misses the pleasant countenances of Conductors Ferry and Nelson on the streets of Rockville since the Fourth. The E. & C., over which these gentlemen conduct, has ceased to run trains over the Rockville division from Terre Haute, having leased this branch to the L. C. & S. W. R. R.

GEORGE PURDY, ex-Street Comnaissioner, is now managing a very creditable grocery establishment, on West Main street. He has a large, airy suite of rooms and keeps a good stock. It wonld be to the interest of the city were he reelected Street Commissioner. Perhaps, then we would have the ordinances, regulating the cleaning of streets, enforced.

YESTERDAY, in this municipality, no voice cried through the startled air, "Hurrah for Horace Greeley."—Express.

Sad if true but not true. We heard a Grant candidate hurrah for Greeley. He was smart enough to know who will win in the coming contest, and wanted to place himself properly on the record, so that he can say, "I told you so," when the proper time arrives.

IT was really amusing to hear the profound and vigorous profanity indulged in by the Indianapolitans yesterday, as they hied themselves out of tbe Vandalia coaches at the junction' of. that line with Fifth street. They anaib«mizei because they could find no dep6t bulding thought Terre Haute, of which they had heard so much, had no such accommodations.

THE fitful slumbers of a prominent city Bourbon straight were sadly disturbed last night, as he alleges, by the frightful and fearful howlings of a lonely and melancholy terrier, bereft of its diurnal associates. We rather fancy, however, that a Greeley nightmare created his restlessness, as many Grantites suffered a like distraction of nocturnal slumber.

GEO. W. INGALLS, ESQ., of this city, has been appointed agent for the Pi ate Indians in Southeast Nebraska.—Springfield Register.

We know of no gentleman in the whole range of our acquaintance whom we think would make a more faithful and efficient Indian ageut than Mr. Ingalls. We hope George will preserve his scalp to a ripe old age, and not have it prematurely dangling from the leggius of some sanguinary red skin of the plains.

Mr. Ingalls is the first partner of the firm now publishing the new Terre Haute City Directory.

A Dialogue.

The following comes to us by the asso« ciated grape vine: Astout built, elderly gentleman entered a western bound railroad train on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad and found a seat by a man of like age and proportions. After the usual compliments of the day, the following dialougue took place: "I am Gen. G. K. Steele, of Indiana. I am just returning from the Philadelphia Conveutior, where I have been for the purpose of nominating the greatest soldier and statesman the world ever saw— Gen. Grant. I have attended every Republican convention that has ever been held in the nation and put in nomination every President—I am the President maker. I have recently traveled in the South, and as the train passed along the cemetery of Chattanooga, which contains 300 acres, and in which there is the most magnificent flag-staff I ever saw—nearly two hundred feet high— some of the most distinguished Southern gentlemen looking out on this city of the d«ad—told me that Grant must be re-elected, or the whole South would be destroyed by the infamous Ku-Klux. I have been in the Legislature of Indiana a great many terms all the great men of the State have served with me tnere I have introduced into that body all of the. important measures

sissaisslfc'#'- v^tM-is^

that have ever been adopted by the State I have been of more service -to the "Great War Governor," Morton, than any one else I own forty thousand dollars stock in the First National Bank of Rockville and have been President of that corporation until recently I own a splendid residence iu the suburbs of that city I own one of the finest tracts of land I ever saw, a short distanceWest of the city I have on thait piece of land some of the biggest trees in the State—why, there is nothing equal to them—some Of them are larger than the mammoth trees of California. I have been thoroughly convinced, for two years past, that the managers of the East & West Railroad would never build it to Rockvilleji but would run it up to Raccoon valley, feeing this, my interest at Rosedale asp vicinity, where I have fourteen hundred acres of land, led me to favor the building of the Indiana division of the Chicagjoi Dan—."

Here the other broke in afer "My name is P. T. Barnu owned and exhibited all guished bumbugs that have America. I have owned t" humbug I have owned t$e Wooley Horse humbug I have bWned the Buffalo humbug I have/ owned the Tom. Thumb humbug 1 own the Great New York MiMeum I am now traveling for thl purpose of adding new novelties and wonders to my Great Traveling Museums Menagerie, Caravan, Hippodrome, Polytechnic Institute and International Zoological Garden. I am satisfied thatjgou are the thing I am looking for. V/hf will you take for yourself?"

The second ballot a little over 600 for Williams, nearly the same number for Kimball, and the balance scattered pretty evenly between Hovey and Slaughter. Before the Secretaries could announce the result, Robinson, of Madison, and Captain Brouse, of Marion, suddenly changed their entire county vote to Williams. Captain Brouse's action took Kimball's friends by surprise, as the county had instructed a solid vote for the General. He was at once indignantly interviewed and gave his word that he would change it back before the vote was announced by the chair. This he failed to do, and the other counties, seeing Marion going back on General Kimball, commenced changing by wholesale to Williams and Slaughter, creating a scene of inextricable confusion. After a big hub-bub, a resolution was passed forbidding further changing, and the vote was finally announced: Williams, 624 Slaughter, 388 Hovey, 289 Kimball, 129.

On the third ballot, Charley Brouse again turned against Kimball, and cast Marion solid for Williams. This persistent action brought the result which Morton & Co. were laboring for—the defeat of the gallant veteran at all hazards— and the vote ended with—Williams, 861 Slaughter, 379 Hovey, 220 Kimball, 33.

It needed not the announcement by the Chairman to acquaint the delegates of the result, for the jubilant looks and the congratulatory whisperings of the Morton ring told tbe story plainly enough. Colonel Williams, during the pendency of the ballot, had taken refuge in the Governor's room, from which he was dragged out by some of the enthusiastic up-county delegates, and brought up stairs, and pushed forward to the Speaker's desk. The Colonel could not conceal his gratification over the result, and he gloried greatly, and thanked Morton & Co. prodigiously for the noble support accorded him, eliciting much applause from his supporters.

General Kimball being loudly called for came forward and thanked those of his friends who had STOOD BY HIM in the race, (not Brouse, however), and said he should not fail in his duty as aRepublican, notwithstanding his slaughter, but that be could not consent to hold any longer the office of Presidential Elector on the* Grant ticket. He would devote himself exclusively to the work of carrying Marion county for the Republican ticket, and securing his seat in the Legislature. His resignation asj an Elector was in the hands of the Convention.

The resignation was not immediately accepted by the Convention, but seeing that the old war horse was terribly ia earnest, they finally released him from the position which he spurned.

SURELY social position has very little to do with success in America, after all. A few days ago, eight boys presented themselves before the Board of Education in New York, as candidates for appointment at the Naval Academy. Seven of them were well dressed, and evidently wealthy, while the eighthJohn O'Keefe—with coarse clothes, clumsy shoes, and uncombed hair, was the embodiment of the New York newsboy, with just a touch of the wharf-rat in his appearance.

NOMINATION OF CONGRESSMAN AT LARUE AND ELECTORS.

Gen. Kimball Slaughtered—Morton Nods and Brouse Bows to the Rod. The State Delegate Convention for the nomination of a Congressman at Large and Elector cohyened this morning at ten o'clock, in the hall of the House of Representatives. "Very early this morning something of dire import could be seen agitating the bosoms'-of the leadiag Grant men, who comprise tjie Morton element, and Holloway and Brouse, as couriers for "our noble," etc., went flitting in and out antl collaring the uninitiated in every corner. The Convention met with, closed doors—a Lieutenant and two police keeping watchful vigil that none without "cards" entered the holy precincts. Members of the reportorial corps were hustled out unceremoniously, and promptly given to understand that this was a political prayer meetingjn which' they hold no communion interest. Shortly after ten o'clock the delegates were called to order by Colonel: Foster, Chairman of the Republican State Cohtral Committee, who counseled {moderation, and above all, hearty concurrence in the results of this convention., Whatever might happen to rasp the feelings of the disappointed, they must ^concur" with equanimity and zeal, and work for the success of Morton & Co. iu the fall. He then introduced as, permanent Chairman of the Convention Judge Elliott, of Henry, who followed the Colonel in a. speech essentially the sartfre. "A series 5f rfeSolUt!oHs*#as tljen adopted and after a multiplicity of advice and secret cogitations from the leaders, the Convention settled down to the regular business before them and co da pie ted their organization by electing John O. Hardesty, of Madison, Principal Secretary, and William A. Montgomery, of Owen, and G. I. Reed, of Miami, assistants. A motion was adopted, to proceed at once to the balloting for Congressional candidate, and General Nathan Kimball, of Marion, Hon. T. C. Slaughter of Harrison, Col. Billy Williams, of Kosciusko, and General A. P. Hovey, of Posey, were placed in nomination. The first ballot resulted: Williams, 556J Kimball, 315J Slaughter, 312 Hovey, 309. Something in the neighborhood of 750 was necessary to a choice, consequently a second vote was ordered.

tion of four hours, the boys contested bravely for the honor, but at the close, Johnny came off victorious, having passed successfully. Of course he was "interviewed" at once, and it was found that he had attended school pretty regularly since he was eight years old— besides assisting in the support of the family by selling papers, running errands at Washington market, and picking up odd jobs along the wharf. He is a well built boy, with black hair, sparkling gray eyes, a good head, and is described as a famous swimmer. When asked why he hurried away at the close of the examinatipn, he replied that he didn't want to ftay, and have them fellows, with white paper collars," staring at him.

Not a Hotel.

Two or three mornings ago, just as day-light was breaking, a Montgomery county rural awakened old Uncle Nelson, at the State Treasurer's office, by a lusty knocking at the door. On opening, iu walked the stranger, and slinging his valise in the corner, inquired for washing facilities. Nelson imagined it was a county treasurer, with a sack full of money, come for settlement, and accordingly showed him into Ityan's private room, where he made free with soap, and water, and towel, and for what we know the tooth-brush also. Then Brother Nelson was called upon for comb and brush, which were furnished—the rural spicing his requests with growls of discontent against the or accommodations, to all of which the old man listened With some wraf.ii and much wonderment. The toihiU' tinished, the stranger sauntered an and the office at bis leisure, followed bv the watchful eyes of Nelson, who wiu- beginning to think "Montgomery county" one of two things: either a burglar or a fool. Hi3 unwelcome visitor grew more and more irritating and restless, and finally ejaculated, "When, in —, will breakfast be ready?" This was the last hair, and with a vicious grimace the old man answered, "You'll wait a long time before you get breakfast here "Why so, sir?" "'Cause this ain't no cussed eatin' house." "The h—11 it ain't! Great heavens, I thought it was the Bates." Nelson commenced hunting for a club, whereupon the stranger lit out for more quiet quarters.—IndianapolisEvening News.

THE campaign is not fairly opened this year, the Democrats not having formally adopted Greeley as their candidate and yet the indications that Grant is foredoomed to a defeat as utter and overwhelming as that which befel Van Buren are decisive and unerring. A friend on a fishing excursion in the Sound on the Fourth encountered the crews of half a dozen purse-net boats who had been engaged in taking menhaden for an oil factory in the.vicinity hardy fellows all'of them, who read the papers and think for themselves. "You look like Democrats, boys," said our friend "I suppose you are all for Greeley?" "We are mostly Republicans, but we are generally for Greeley, all the same," said a rough-looking chap in a red shirt. "Our town gives one hundred and fifty Republican majority, but Honest Old Horace is popular amoug us." So it goes everywhere."—New York Sun.

WHAT is styled "A Singular Story of English Life," is going the journalistic round. It is, in a few words, that presented by the domestic career of the late Duke of Bedford, a representative of one of the oldest English families. He was a misanthrope, and shunned nearly all the public and private duties usually so willing performed by his class in Great Britain. Although he owned a large part of the most important district of London —miles of the old houses, full of historic interest—he seemed entirely indifferent to his possessions, and left them in charge of a cruel, indifferent, despotic and foolish agent, who wrought ruin to the the estate, and brought misery to the tenants. It appears that Bedford, before attending the dukedom,contracted an intimacy with a woman of humble birth, but of stately presence and great beauty of form and feature. This lasted until his death. It is suspected by some that she was his wife. For a long time she lived in a fine house at Kensington with her little boy. Thither the Duke came daily to take them out in his carriage.

KEEP THE HEART ALIVE.—The longer I live, says someone, the more expedient it is to endeavor more and more to extend my sympathies and affections. The natural tendency of advancing years is to narrow and contract these feelings. I do not mean that I wish to form a new friendship every day to increase my circle of intimates—these are very different affairs. But I find that it conduces to my mental health and happiness to find out all I can which is amiable and lovable in those I come in contact with, and to make the most of it. It may fall very short of what I was once wont to dream of it may not supply the place of what I have known, felt and tasted but it is better than nothing. It seems to keep the feelings and affections in exercise it keeps the heart alive in its humanity and till we shall be all spiritual, this is our duty and our interest. 3» |f 7V

1 tJ" Rural Felicities. One of our young citizens who went into the country last week to work on a farm for a few weeks and seek "health instead of dissipation," returned yesterday a little out of sorts, but healthy. He had blistered his hands hoeing corn, torn the seat out of a pair of twenty dollar lavender pants at a picnic, one eye was blacked from attempting to draw water with an "old oaken bucket" and crank, his forehead was frescoed with mosquito bites, a stone-bruise gave him the Alexandria limp, he was freckled like the leopard, and had been sunstruck four times. With these few exceptions he had experienced an elegant time, and is going next summer—to jail in preference to the country.

Fun in the Family.

What a healthy thing to have one jolly person in the house, ready to laugh at every thing ludicrous, or even able to create sport at any time. There are enough to reflect on the sad side of life, and its irritable side, and its sober side. We need one or more to show the mirth that often trembles just below the surface of painful things. A real impetuous laugh dissipates many illusions, sweeps the twilight out6f our imaginations, and brings honest daylight. But it must be real. No dark, backing laugh. It should be spontaneous, out-bursting, irresistable, infectious. We have seen men fall to laughing, who had not heard the cause of mirth, but only had caught the contagion, of other men's laughing. It is hard not to laugh with meu who are in earnest about it.
