Au Important Purchase.
We have the pleasure of congratulating the public that the long established retail dry goods house, corner of Main and Fifth streets, is not to be abandoned as such to the wholesale business. Messrs. Tuel, IRipley & Deming,itis true, have retired from the retail trade, and gone into the wholesale business, but they have been succeeded by the well-known Wilson Brothers, of Charleston, Illinois, and the Messrs. Hunley, of this city, the two latter gentlemen being most favorably known as salesmen in the establishment, J. W. Hunley, Esq for manjr years, and his son since he has been old enough to fil- the position.
The new management will transact business under the name of Wilson Bros. & Co., and we predict for them their full share of the retail trade of the city, in their line of business. The Wilson Bros., we knew when in Charleston, to stand at the head of the dry goods bus iness, notwithstanding the fact that they had to compete with the palatial establishment of Pinatel & Fisher.
The Messrs. Hunley have been in the business here so long, and have had so many regular customers that they can control a remunerative business tbemelves.
We wish the new firm well, and have no hesitancy in predicting for it a large share of the dry goods business that comes to Terre Haute.
The work of invoicing the stock on hand is now in progress and will take some time. New goods in large quantity and great variety will be exposed for sale soon.
Messrs. Tuell, Ripley & Deming will remain where they are until spring, when they will go into even more commodious quarters, though they do not know just where, as yet. They have the capital and experience, and success will surely follow them.
Tiie Ice Harvest.
Messrs. Townsend & Tuller, the champion cocktail coolers of the Wabash valley, are now storing the waters of the Wabash, in a frigid state, in the bed of the o'd ttanal, just above the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad bridge, and near where the water works machinery is to be located. Sometime since we made mention of the fact that Mr. Townsend had received a patent on an ice cutter of his own invention. The ma chine is now put up and in operation.
The machinery of Mr. Townsend'a invention referred to above consists of an ice saw and an elevator. Both are operated by small engines, the former of six and the latter of four horse power. The engine that operates the saw is situated inside of a small cabin constructed on a barge, moored alongside the bank of the river at present, but which will be moved out into the river as the ice is taken out. The engine by which the elevator is operated is stationed on the bank, about two hundred feet above. The ice is sawed iu sections, about 3ix4^ feet, and is raised in a continuous line along the shaft of the elevator, so rapidly as to deliver the ice on the bank above as fast as it can be taken away and stored in the canal bed near by, which will contain about 10,000,000 tons, we understand. The operating of this machinery is almost indescribable and we would advise those of our readers who have the time and the inclination to go and see for themselves.
This enterprising firm has a lease on all the ice that shall form on the waters of the Wabash, from the I. & St. L. R. R. bridge to the big bend above the sand bar.
Pork Packing.
A GAZETTEER, while on the wing, yesterday went through the pork packing establishments. He found both the Warren and Early houses in operation, though working but half banded, slaughtering aud packing about four hundred at each place.
The Early House is operated this season by McBriney & Johnson, of Cincinnati, and George&Jeukiiis, ofBaltimore, jointly. The packiug department is under the supervision of the old veterans, Riley & Rockwell. We did not visit the slaughtering houseof this establishment, it being situated farthest up the river.
The Warren House is operated by Davis & Davis. The slaughtering department is iu charge of Charley Tyler, an old veteran in the business, while Shewmaker wields the death-dealing hammer and furnishes porcine' carcasses to the scalding and scraping brigade, who prepare them for the packing department of the coucern, in short order.
At the two establishments about eight hundred hogs are packed per day, stock not coming in very rapidly so far. Prices range fram $3.25 to as high as $3.55 for the best, on foot.
The establishment of Reiman & Son is not in operation, and may not be this season, only to cure hams. Mr.^Reiman is here in consultation with his Terre Haute representative, Mr. J. S. Humaston, however, and may conclude to slaughter some.

The Greatest Good to the greatest number should be, we believe, the object of human endeavor. Just and necessary laws do, sometimes, bear hard upon individuals. The man who breaks a corner in wheat may, directly or indirectly, injure innocent parties and yet be a public beuefactor. The business of the world BELONGS BY RIGHT to those who can best perform it, in the interests of the masses. A business man should never place the necessties of his competitors above the interests of the public. Do we—Foster Brothers—preach sound doctrine iu the above? If we do, we apply that doctrine in this way The greatest good of the greatest number is, in a measure, secured by that merchant who labors to bring down the profit on the goods he sells to the lowest possible point. The interests of the public demand that the necessaries of life be afforded it at the least expense consistent with safe business principles. We have no right to charge twenty-five per cent, profit on our goods, when we can do a reasonably profitable business at ten or twelve per cent.., simply because unless we do charge the higher profit, incompetent or careless or lazy competitors will be driven out of business, or, perhaps, financially ruined. Now, that is all the foundation there is to the complaints made against us by unsuccessful merchants, who say we are ruining their business. If our facilities are such that we can sell Dry Goods and Carpets to the people of Terre Haute at lower prices than auybody else, it is then not only our privilege, but our DUTY to monopolize as much of that business as possible. So please let us hear no more complaiuts about our selliug goods so low that nobody else can make a living at the business but ourselves.
The Oft-repeated Story.
