Additional Local News.

THE Hudnut & Co. hominy mill has resumed operations.

THE storm of last evening felled a tree across the Pacific & Atlantic Telegraph wires near Marshall.

THE Hon. C. M. Pollard, Liberal Republican, of Kofeomo, is soon to canvass Vermillion county, in aid of the reform movement.

Miss MATTIE SPENCE, of St. Louisville, Ohio, and Miss Jennie Archer, of Carbon, are visiting the Blinns and Archers, this city.

THE editor of the Journal still favors the Louisville Convention, indirectly. He is a courageous man—the genuine little bull that butted the engine off the track.

THE great rains of yesterday done a power of good throughout the county.— Journal.

Well done, thou good and faithful grammarian. Go now and receive thy reward—a brass button

THE Hon. John R. Eden will have to compete against the minstrel performance for an audience to-night. If he creates but little merriment it will be because the merrily inclined attend the minstrels.

HARRY RUG AN will attend the Universalist College at Logansport this session and continue until he graduates. Harry is a kind and courteous young man, possessing more than ordinarily good qualities of both head and heart.

A. B. SALSICH, agent of the Great Western Despatch Freight Company, was ecstatic with delight this forenoon, because the excellent line he represents has placed a number of substantial aud handsome new cars at the disposal of its agents.

RUAII ESTATE is changing hauds quite rapidly in this city at present. New houses, business and private residences, are springing up on all sides, all of which evideuce the thrift and enterprise of our people and the prosperity of our beautiful city.

COL. MCLEAN speaks at the Temple Saturday evening. Let there be a rush. The Colonel says a great many things that are instructive aud ought to be heard, and then he says them in such a way that the hearer is apt to always afterwards remember them.

A PRIVATE letter from one of the best informed politicians of Indiana saj's "We (the Republicans) shall surely whip our enemies, though we are having a bitter fight."—St. Louis Globe {Admin.)

It remains to be seen whether victory crowns your efforts, though it is evident enough now, not generally admitted, however, that you are "having a bitter fight."

MR. W. W. PAYNE head clerk of Foster Bro's Terre Haute branch New York City dry goods establishment, is off for a short vacation, which hisarduous duties have rendered almost imperatively necessary. He will attend the national camp meeting near Springfield, 111, meantime. Mr. Payne is a clever gentleman and an efficient clerk.

WE hope and expect the Greeley Escort Club to turn out in force this evening to give the Hon. John R. Eden the reception he merits at their hands. Without any interest in our campaign other than the success of the movement iu this State, as elsewhere in the nation, he comes among us now and gives us freely of his support. He is an able, logical and eloquent speaker. Go and hear him.

THE St. Louis Globe of recent date "hits the nail on the head"—as it does quite a number of d. b's in this city— when it says:

Nothing is morp indicative of the earnestness of life than the sight of a well-dr-relopod male creature speuding eight hours a day trying to wear out a fire-plug with the seat of his pants.

And the Globe might truthfully have added that nothing is more indicative of the uselessness of life.

Burglary and Robbery.

Some time last uight, most likely between the hours of 10 A. M. and 0 P. M., a burglar or burglars succeeded in affecting au entrance through aback window to Moudey's cofft house, at the Union Depot. About $18, and a few cigars and other articles, are missing. The time of the breakage aud theft must have been as above, for that was the only time Ward Hay ward was not present and on duty ahd it is an established fact that thieves do not break through

bjfl beats when be is ou duty.

G. G. GRADY'S Great American circus, mammoth menagerie aud grand free balloon asceusion. We call the attention of our readers to this great favorite show, which exhibits in Terre Haute on Monday and Tuesday, September 2d and 3d. There is no show in tde country which bears abetter reputation as a first-class combined exhibition than this. The animals are the fiuest in the ceuutry, and the grand circus is

composed

of the best

artists in the profession. The outside attractions are immense. In the grand procession will be seen the mammoth open den, containing Herr Paul SchrofFs great performing lions—five of the largest ever imported to this country. The grand balloon ascension is an attraction in itself, sufficient to congregate the whole people at Terre Haute on Grady's show day. That the balloon positively goes up as pictured on the bulletin boards is a certrinty. This is the only company traveling that has confidence enough in iis ability to give two s! .vs in the prominent towns.

A Sweet Morsel.

After the editor of the Terre Haute Express had thoroughly masticated the following resolution and spewed it out in an agony of bitterness, our epicurean friend Brown, of the Sullivan Union, takes it up and rolls it uuder his tougue as an exceedingly sweet morsel:

The Irish of Terre Haute passed the following resolution at one of their meetings, not long since

Resolved, That we, the Irishmen of the city of Terre Haute and ot Vigo county, pledge ourselves to defeat the nominees wf the Democratic ticket at the October election.

The Irish voters of Terre Haute number near 300. But a mere handful of that number had anything to do with passing the above resolution, aud if they are not ashamed of it they should be. The more intelligent of their countrymen of their own political faith deprecate their course.

From the Journal.

School Matters.

At the meeting of the School Board last night it was decided not to open the public schools until Monday, the 9th of September.

We understand that this action of the Board was based upon the impolicy of opening the schools during the extraordinary hot weather now oppressing the people.

This action of the Trustees will certainly meet the approval of a large majority of our citizenp who do not desire their little ones to suffer during this torrid period.

Miss Mattie Logan was elected a teacher in the public schools. This fills the list of teachers for the present.

The Board elected several janitors, but as the list will not be completed until next Monday evening we omit publishing the names of those elected.

WE observed the mammoth forty-eight ton Grant locomotive, just received by the Cincinnati and Terre Haute R. R., standing on side the track of the Indianapolis and St. Louis R. R. this noon. It is the most peculiar in construction of auy ever received in this city. While it does not look any larger than other locomotives, it is of the most massive pattern, the irons all being of the toughest and best manufactured. Those of our readers who have an appreciation of machinery will do well to go aud take a look at this magnificent locomotive.

THE Express aunounces that Blanton Duncan will issue a daily paper at Louisville soon, to be called the True Democrat I But the true Democrats understand that the bloviating B. D. will operate that paper on money furnished by the Grantites—more likely than not out of the National Treasury—as they did in the case of the archives of the Southern Confederacy. Being operated with their mouey, cannot an^r sensible Democrat see that it will be run in the interest of the Administration Anything to defeat Greeley!

MAJOR MEYERKOFF, and several other of the veterans of the gallant 14th, give us a call this morning, which we appreciated for wheu iu their presence, we felt that we were surrounded by some of the bravest men who ever drew a sword or shouldered a musket in defense of their country.

They were bearers of the regrets of the famous Crescent City Band, that the inclemency of the weather prevented their favoring the GAZETTE with a serenade.

THE storm last evening was a fearful one, and the atmosphere to-day is cool and delightful.

BISHOP UPFOLD.—The body of Bishop Upfold lay in state at St. Paul's Cathedral all day yesterday, and was viewed by a large number of his friends. Owing to his lingering disease his form has become much emaciated yet his features are perfectly natural. The remains were encased in a handsome casket ornamented with silver mountings, and placed upon an elevated bier in front of the altar. The church was appropriately draped in mourning, presenting a very impressive aspect.—Ind News.

PROFESSOR BARNABAS HOBBS has just completed a seven weeks' examination of the coal resources of Parke county. The Professor thinks that, upon a most careful examination of all the poiuts, the county of Parke will make fully as fair if not a superior showing for oal to any county In the State. The Professor's notes of his explorations, in detail, will boou appear.—Ind. Journal.

STABLES were engaged for four fast horses, yesterday, by Owen Tuller, of Terre Haute. This makes twenty odd of the best horses in the West, already entered for our Fair, and we predict the most exciting and interesting time ever seen at a Fair in the Wabash valley.— Sullivan Union.

A MACHINE engaged in threshing the grain of Mr. Simpson, residing near Middlebury, took fire from a heated box the other day, settiug fire to the straw, which spread to the barn au1 thence to the dwelling, burning up $3,000 worth of property.— Chicago Inter-Ocan.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—A vessel which has arrived here from Carthage, New Grenada, South America, brings reliable private dispatches that the yellow fever is raging there and causing from 30 to 40 deaths daily.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—The Tribune this morning published a portion of a reporter's statement regarding his confinement in the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum. Part of his story published this morning relates merely to substances of Iris commitment as tending to show an insufficiency of medical tests in the admission of patients to that institution, and a criminal evasion of the law and a disregard of the important regulations of the asylum by its officers.

The reporter minutely details his feigning insanity while the guest of the Grand Central Hotel his being placed in charge of a nurse and his examination by two physicians, upon whose affidavit Justice Cox granted the order for his commitment to the asylum. The reporter, then acting the role of an insane patient, was admitted to the asylum the same day that the commitment was made out, without having complied with auy of the requirements of the institution no board having been paid in advance, nor any permit obtained from any member of the asylum committee, representations having*been made by the doctor in charge that it was too late in the day, after the commitment had been made out, to comply with the necessary regulations.

The examination of the patient by a physician lasted but a minute, and consisted simply of an attempt to guess at the movement of the pulse. No information was solicited regarding the features of the case, nor any references made to the physicians who signed the certificates, the main points discussed at the time of his admission being the payment of board and the necessity of obtaining a permit from the asylum committee. Thi3 portion of the reporter's story will be rapidly followed by the remainder concerning the treatment of the patients in the asylum.

NEW YORK, August 29.—A single scull race between luglehart aud Dealy took place yesterday at Pleasantville, on the Hudson, over a three mile course, for a prize of one hundred dollars, resulting in a victory for Inglehart, becoming in four seconds ahead of his opponent. Time', 23:10.

Wm. Walsh, after being put out of a streeet car for drunkenness, last night, pursued the car with a loaded revolver which he discharged twice, creating a great panic among the passengers. One shot took effect in the arm of Henry Blanchard, conductor of the car, inflicting a severe wound. Walsh was arrested.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—Yesterday there was a steady demand for mouey on the basis of 4 or 5 per cent. Exchange was heavy, with the continued scarcity of cash gold. Gold was strong under the continued effort of a recently organized pool, whose limit was reached. The reaction of gold and the continued use of money helped the recovery of Governments, which advanced fully a quarter, holding the improvement to the close. Southern securities, quiet new South Carolinas exceptionally active, though heavy.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Among the departures for Europe yesterday were the Mayor of Yeddo and suite.

The steamer Capron, built for the Japanese government, was launched yesterday aud as she glided out far into East river she collided with the East India steamer James Sliepperd, carrying away the half-completed forward hou-e of the captain, and receiving other slight damages. She will be ready for service iu about two months, and is intended as a transport snip in the service of the Mikado.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.—Straight out Democratic Conventions were held yesterday as follows: Desmoines, Iowa, State Convention. The attendance was meager, but few counties being represented. Resolutions were passed protesting at the sale of the party to Greeley and endorsing the Louisville Convention. At Quincy, 111., County Convention. Resolutions were passed coudemning Greeley and Brown, and five were delegates appointed to the State Contention at Springfield on the 29tb, where delegates will be elected to Louisville.

The Tribune has a special from Louisville which states that O'Conor has abandoned the Louisville movement, though Duucan says he has a letter from him saying that he would stand by the movement to the end. It is thought Duncan wants to be nominated as Vice President.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 29.—The Cabinet was in session this morning. All were present except Boutwell. Fish presents dispatches from the Geneva Arbitration. It is understood these dispatches represent affairs progressing satisfactorily.

PRINCETON,N. J., August 29..—The Republican State Electoral Convention aeset»We4 at nooo. Secretary Robeaoij

Dinsmore, Liberal, Fifth Illinois District C. B. McAffee, Liberal, Twenty-first New York District O. L. Palmer, Liberal, Sixth Iowa District. [Special to the Indianapolis Sentinel.]

FORT WAYNE, August 28.—Hon. Jas. C. Robinson, a leading politician of Illinois, addressed the Democrats and Lib~ erals of this city to-night in the rink.

Despite the threatening appearance of the weather, one of the largest political gatherings that has yet come together in this city greeted the speaker, and during the entire delivery of his most able and exhaustive speech on the political issues of the day, he was enthusiastically cheered.

He made some new and telling points against the party in power, in sound, logical and unanswerable arguments. This is the first of several speeches to be made by Mr. Robiuson in this State, and his arguments to-night in favor of reform are assurance that he will do great good for the Liberal cause.

Hon. George W. Juliau spoke to au immense crowd in Lagrange county today, at Lagrange. The rain somewhat interfered with the meeting, but it was a success in every respect, aud the largest meeting ever held in the county.

A box shipped from here by expre.-.s a few days since by the burglar, Cleveland, who was arrested at the depot last week, has been returned here, and a large number of articles that were stolen from the hardware store recovered. Among other things were some ladies' wearing apparel, marked

Cincinnati munercial.] Victoria Woodbull aud Tennie Chtflin made their appearance in the Court of Common Pleas, to-day^ upon supplemental proceedings as judgment debtors to be examined as to their property. Mrs. Wood hull testifies that she resides at No. 28 Clinton street, and does business as a banker and broker, at I^o. 48 Broad street that Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly died a natural death about two mouths ago for want of material to support it that she wrote a book on the "Tendencies and Principles of Government," but that said work, when published, was sold at auction, and that she has not even a copy left that the furniture in the Broad street office is borrowed, aud that she is not worth a cent, the very clothes on her back not belonging to her, and that she has uo claims against any one that are collectable. m*

National Colored Liberal Convention. All Negro men of the United States, friendly to the Liberal Republican movement, are requested to meet in a convention at Indianapolis, Indiana, September 11, 1872.

All who are iu favor of the election of Greeley and Brown are urged, as a matter of duty to ourselves as a race and the couniry at large, all who oppose official corruption and the centralization of power in the hands of a few men, against the will and interests of the masses, and are in favor of the one term principle as a means of purity in the Government, will do a national duty by coming together in a convention, and take such aotion as only freemen can take. Let every liberal man in the whole Union consider himself a delegate.

The National Finances—A Correction. The National Democratic Resident Committee in Washington have published without sufficient examination a pamphlet purporting to expose immense irauds in the Treasury Department. We have repeatedly declared that the annual volume prepared at the Treasury, ostensibly setting forth the finaucial operations of the Government, is a disgrace to the nation. One year the Pacific Railroad bouds are reckoned as part of the public debt the next year they are excluded. One official deducts from the debt the cash in the Treasury another does not. The Treasurer includes in the annual income of the Government every torn shinplaster which is sent to be exchanged for anew one, and reckons the new one at its full nominal value as part of the expenses. This makes it possible for an ingenious person to make the Secretary of the Treasury appear to contradict himself and indeed there are many high and difficult things in the financial statements which would puzzle the Secretary himself to unravel.—JV. Y. Tribune.

A MAN named Joseph Myers made a very brutal and unprovoked attack upon Col. C. M. Allen, at his residence, Friday last. He had a bill against the I & V. R. R., which had been forwarded by Col. Allen, who is the attorney of the road, for collection. About tfoon Friday, Myers in a state of intoxication, went to the resideuce of Col. Allen, and while engaged in conversation struck the Colonel ou the head with a wine bottle which he was carrying. The blow was quite a severe one, cutting a gash about an inch and a half in length. Col. Allen atonce strucu Myere several blows and turned him out of doors. Myers was arrested, and fined in the Mayor's court, but Col. Allen declined to prosecute him under the State law. The attack was without any provocation whatever, aud deserves the severest condemnation.— Vincennes Sun.

ON the 7th, Mrs. Gardiner, wife of a farmer living near Eastmanville, Ottawa county, died under circumstances the most extraordinary. Two of her sisters were dead, one but recently, only a few weeks ago. The cause of Mrs. Gardiner's death was a congestive chill, and after she had been considered dead for about six hours and was being prepared for the grave, she returned to consciousness and talked freely with her attendants She said those around her that she had been to the better land aud seen both of her departed sisters with other friends that it was a most beautiful land—beyond all description She said that she had permission to return to tell liviug friends of what she had seen, but she was anxious to again return. She passed away soon after makiug her statement and seemingly overflowing with joy and happiness. There can be no question as to the circumstances above related.—Detroit Tribune.

ON the occasion of Nilsson's marriage some queer customs came into play. After the wedding breakfast as M. and Mme. Rouzaud stepped from the door, a cupful of dry rice was showered on their heads from a window above, and as the carriage drove off all the old foot coverings about the place .were thrown after it. One enthusiastic individual threw a broom on top of the carriage. When the:bridal party reached |he hote} the bride sang,

at the request of some friends, some of the songs she had learned in this country, accompanying herself upon the banjo which was presented to her while in New York.

AN artesian well, lately sunk at Jacksonville, III., gave forth a jet of water four inches in diameter, which rose to the height of fifty feet. In Jacksonville and the surronding country there has been a great scarcity of water, not only for agricultural, but for manufacturing, and even domestic purposes. The public institutions in Jacksonville have had great difficulty in procuring a sufficient supply for their necessities, so that the success of the artesian well is a matter of great importance to that city. It is probable that in the near future wells of this description will become common in ragions now suffering srom inadequate supplies of water. Large numbers of artesian wells have been bored in Algeria by the French authorities, and there every well has become the nucleus of a settlement proportioned to the flow of the well. Several nomadic African tribes, attracted to these wells, have abandoned their wandering life, and devoted themselves to agricultural pursuits. Some of them have planted palm trees around the wells, besides perennial plants. It would be in nowise surprising to find, before the lapse of many years, artesian wells brought extensively into service on the great plains of the Far West, to supply water for irrigation snd other purposes. And if that should come to pass we may c-xpeot to see villages and towns grow up around the most prolific of these wells, as the Arab settlements have grown up around the wells of Algeria.

A Sleeping Beauty.

A correspondent of the Louisville Courier Journal has been to see the leeping b?auty of Tennessee," at Union City. He says of her She has slept for twenty-three years is awake thirteen times in twenty-four hours, remaining awake only seven minutes each time, and no power on earth can force her to remain awake one second longer. She breathes only at intervals of five minutes, and at such times she seems to do so with great difficulty, only drawing two or three respirations, then falling back as though she were dead. While awake shfe eats, drinks and talks a few minutes. She is as white as the whitest marble, and, is perfectly beautiful. She has uo education^ All the medical skill of the country round about has been baffled as to her case, and she has been sent to St. Louis and examined by the most prominent physicians^there, but they have not been able to solv6 her case. She is now on exhibition at the Sauthern Hotel, Union City, Obion county, Tfeun. She is thirty-one years old, and was a sprightly girl up to eight years, when she was stricken, and has remained ever since as she is now.

An Important Fact in Grapa Culture. Here we would mention a fact which has come within our observation aud experience, which, if generally true, is of some importance. It is this:

That the third fruit bud from the base of the past year's cane throws out larger and better developed brauches of grapes than either the first or second. The grapes from these buds seem also better flavored, and generally superior to those on the first and second. In accordance with this hint, we have adopted the plan of cutting the cane off at such length as to leave the third bud generally, and sometimes the fourth, when a good, strong one, and then rubbing off the first and second buds, aud leaving the third and fourth for fruit. The number of fruit buds left ou any vine must depend on the age and strength of the vine. If the vines are strong and vigorous, at three years, from two to three bunches of grapes may be allowed to mature on each without iujury. The next year the number may be increased, and so on, increasing the quantity of fruit with the age of the vine.

A CURIOUSLY shaped boat was several months ago washed upon the coast of Cape Flattery, Washington Territory, by the tide. It was strongly built of wood resembliug white cedar, and held tightly together by iron hoops, put on like the hoops of a barrel. The entire hull is closed except five feet amidship, which is open, and arranged with a seat. Here the rower sits, and can lie down and sleep quite securely. Where it was built uo one knows, but it is thought to have floated from some northern coast. It was lately tried by an enterprising man, who made a voyage in it of 1,500 miles, being out of sight of land four days.
