THE mild mannered ox is gradually giving place to the fiery horse, on tue streets.

THE body of a oanine, cold in death, was watched all last night by a weeping relative of the deceased. This occurred near the residence of 'Squire Smith. Coroner Mull, though he resides near by, has not held an inquest on the remains, yet.

A GHASTLY ghost story is reported by the Marshall Messenger. Big Creek crossing of the Vandalia Railroad is given as the haunted locality. The Messenger's statement is enough to make hair grow out on a bale} he^d, on purpose to Fiapd on end.

THE Fifth Street Opera House, as such, is closed, and the cheerful sign smiles on the wayfarer no more. The management silently packed tip their scanty wardrobes and as silently .stale away to the Capital City, where variety shows are better appreciated than in the Prairie City.

TnKKiiis a tangible and traditional liell in this office.—Marshall Herald. The above statement startles us, inasmuch as itis not consistent with nature for Frost to abide in so warm an atmosphere as we are told prevails in that mystic region, alluded to by our frigid cotemporary.

THE residents of the nor'hwest part of the city contemplate the importation of a car load of William goats, or the boring of an artesian well, to offset the odors that are wafted into their unwilling nostiils by every breeze that blows from the pork houses along the river bank.

A LECHEROUS kuave, named Ralph Rose, charged with an attempt to commit an awlul, though (here) nameless, crime, was justly sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years and assessed a fine of $500. Punishment for such an offense cannot be too severe.

WE are sorry to learn that Dr. Birch's little daughter, Sallie, is lying dangerously ill, at her aunt's, in Terre Haute, where she was going to school.—Marshall Messenger.

From the Marshall Messenger. A Ghastly fcfhost Story.

From a highly respectable source we learn that the railroad bridge across Big Creek is the habitation or beat of a live ghost or spook. Its appearance is of nightly occurrence. It is thought to be the spirit of a departed bridge watch that was killed by the train. It makes its appearance with lantern in hand, crossing and ^crossing the bridge at the dead hour of night. When a man of sufficient nerve can be found to approach it, it vanishes. An evening or two since, the lightning express checked up to pass over that bridge as it is wont to do, and when the engineer essayed to move the train forward it would not move. He put on all the head of steam accumulated by the stop, but it was no use, the train would not move till bis ghostship saw proper to let it go. The iron horse is powerful when contending with animate or inanimate matter, but it is not a feather's weight when contending with oue intangible ghost. The excitement is at fever heat, particularly among the young folks and the old school class of persons who believe in witches, hobgoblinand that the world is flat. m» I

TUELL, RIPLEY & DEMING.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Dec. 17, 1872. Having purchased the staple stock of Dry Goods of Tuell, Ripley & Deming, we propose adding every article necessary to make the assortment the most complete in the city. It is our intention to keep a first-class stock, replete with the novelties of the day, and maintain, if we canuotswrpass, the popularity of our predecessors.

We do not propose to be found second to any Dry Goods house in Terre Haute, and no one shall name prices below our own. A few days will make this apparent.

Tuell, Ripley & Deming's whole corps of salesmen remain with us, and will be found as attentive as heretofore.

Our first innovation on the old firm's custom is Our trade shall be for cash And therefore, our prices will be lower Soliciting the patronage of the public we promise an early announcement of .new goods.

Read! Read! Read!—Since the great Boston fire, many merchants have been spreading the report that goods have ad vanced wonderfully, to enable them to sell their shelf-worn, high priced goods at enormous prices. Frank & Rothschild, of the Great Clothing House of the West, can assure the public that goods are not higher. We have converted our immense stock of Clothing into cash half a dozen times since the great lire, and have never paid any advance on goods. We now have on hand the largest and best stock in the city, which we have bought for cash, and propose to sell them lower thaq ever. We, therefore, invite everyone in need of Clothing, before purchasing elsewhere, to call and see the goods and prices at Frank & Rothschild's, the Great Clothing House of the West, corner Main and Fourth streets.

Prepared for Christmas.—The Terre Haute Furniture Company, 18 and 20 South Fourth street,have a large and elegant assortment of goods for the Holidays. Rockers and Easy Chairs of every description, from the little child's Chair up to the large Folding Chair, worth $40. Every color in Parlor Suits. We notice something new and handsome in Parlor Styles, such as ^reen Hair Cloth Setts. We advise our readers to call on them before buying any article of Furniture, and look throiigh their extensive and varied stock, which they are selling cheaper than the same kind of goods can be bought for any place in the city.^^

CINCINNATI, Dec. 20.—The following is the Commercial's New York special: The decision of Vice President Colfax not to accept the editorship on the Tribune renders the future of that paper more uncertain than ever.

fnclair never enlisted Tn the movement, and after the September and October elections rendered to defeat Greeley absolutely, it is certain he began to pave the way for a reconciliation with the powers that w«re to be. He was largely interested in a certain claim which Norman Wiard is prosecuting against the Government for some $300,000 and as publisher of an opposition paper, was in little hopes of getting this job through even this Congress, let alone the next. Wiard has some good friends here who constitute apart of the administration ring, and was very anxious to make a place for Sinclair, "but as long as Greeley was alive the Tribune would be lik"ly to maintain an ajrgres«ive attitude to the Grant party and it was impossible. But the very day Greeley breathed his last the intriguing of Sinclair began. He wrote to Mr. Colfax asking him whether he would take -editorial charge of the Tribune if invited by a majority of the stockholders. At the same time Wiard began his efforts here with Gen. Garfield, Senator Conkling, Secretary Robeson aud others.

Says Ire, "Who?" Says I, "Mr. Suvius." Says he, "Who?" Says I, "V. Suvius—M. T. Vesuvius." He was excessively indignaut, and he drove oil with his team. I guess it was a spanking team, for he had to spank 'em a good deal to get 'em to go.

I saw a member of the ring here. He is a sexton. The whole of Manhattan Island was once sold for $24. I call that dirt cheap. Twenty-four dollars to-day wouldn't buy enough of New York to make a mud pie.

WHAT BEAR'S GREASE IS MADE FOR. As I sat in the car I held sweet converse with a long haired cuss, whose face was so red that he looked as if he might be related to a hard boiled lobster.

Says I, "What, you got there?" Says he, "Bears' grease." Says I, "Bears' grease what the devil is bears' grease good for

Says he, "The hair, stranger that ere stuff will make hair grow on anything." Says I, "It will, will it? I suppose that grease will make hair grow on a cooking stove?"

Says he, "It. will, sure pop it has done it." Then he told me how one day he was stewing some warm to put into bottles when some of it "biled" over, land, says he, "Stranger, as sure as gizzards grows into animals, toat hair grew two inches long all over that stove."

Says I, "You don't say so Do you get it shampooued Says he, "O ten."

Says I, "And its haircut?" Says he, "Often, stranger, often." Says I, sneeringly, "Could you cook with that stove

Says he, "Yes, stranger, after that hair grew on to it, it cooked oue thing splendid."

Says I, "What was that Says he, "Muffins, stranger muffins." Says I, "Stranger, that will do you have me let us cry Then, says I, "Stranger, relate tov me your maiden name."

Says he, "Bill Post." Then I told him "tfiat he was gassy enough to be a lamp post," and we parted.

Since the election the people in this section say that the Greeley chasm was sarcasm.

I saw a sigh to-day in front of a secondhand grocery store. It read

Says I, "Hallo, Squire, Timothy seed what Says he, "Hay."

Says I, "Hey Says be, "Yes, sir, hay." That was a mighty short season of converse for me, but language was swung -right to the point.

HOW TOBACCO GROWS.

Tobacco belongs to the genus Nicotiana, atid it grows in this vicinity. I have planted lots of quid-*, and I never knew one to sprout. I will confess I was surprised when I saw tobacco growing, ft grows like a cabbage, before it gets to be a cabbage but it ain't so palatable to eat with corued beef as cabbage. I always thought plug tobacco grew in plugs, but it don't and as I knew for certain that sardines grew in tin boxes, because I'd seen them in tin boxes, I xpected, of course, that fine cut Solace, Century, Mrs. Miller'*,'Virgin Leaf, eto., all grew on bushes in tin-foil, but they don't and to tell the truth, a man has got to be a cussed good judge of the genus Nicoliana to distinguish the difference, when it is growing, between fine cut, smoking and plug. I haven't seen any cigars growing yet.

How Lew Benedict Became a Minstrel. The story that Lew Benedict, of minstrel fame, was a lawyer, may be true, but we have a friend who says it is all bosh. His story is that Lew utilized his youthful agility in a country stoie in Western New York, without ever becoming much of a clerk or skilled accountant. The way he left mercantile pursuits was rather unique. His employer was a very solemn looking old fellow, with the frosts of fifty winters on his head, very much given to long prayers and melancholy religious discussions. He loved music only to sing solemn psalms, and the greatest of all abominations, in Deacon Brent's opinion, was a fiddle.

The gentleman passes us the following account of it: "I had always been a lover.of music and when I went to keep books for olxl Brent I took ray guitar with me, and used to play for my own amusement in the evenings, and Lew Benedict would sing all manner of wiered tunes and uucooth words to the melody.

Oue evening the pld deacon dropped upon us in the midst of our unsanctified entertainment,and solemnly admonished me to lay 'that fiddle' aside. But I explained to him that it was not a fiddle— it w?s a guitar. This modified the righteous deacon's views considerably, and he asked me if I could play 'Coronation' and other tunes, which I tried and pleased him, only, I believe, because he didn't know one tune from another. He took me to his bouse ouce or twice to play for his family, and I was in high favor, but Lew Benedict was always in disgrace with the old man, because be would sing negro songs and dance negro break-downs. For this very reason he was a favorite with nil the young folks, the deacon's daughter included. We got along finely with the truly good mau until one night after we had closed the store, I took down my guitar and was laying myself out on "The Spanish Retreat," of which the Deacon was very fond. While I was playing, Lew. got through with his chorus, and came dancing up to where I sat, nutting in all sorts of grotesque steps as he came. I called out to him as he approached: "You'd better look out, Lew. The D«acen says he'll discharge you if he ever catches you dancing a negro break down again." His only reply Aras to sing: "What would old Deacon Long-lip say,

It he should see me dancing this way." "Old Deacon Brent is the meanestskinfiipt That ever distressed a poor man for his rent."

About the time Lew. finished this couplet, ho stopped suddenly, and, looking up, I saw the old Deacon with Lew.'s ear between his thumb and finger. Lew. looked slowly up, and, seeing who had him, he "ducked" suddenly, the old Deacon fell, Lew. weut out the back door, and I never saw him again, but he lett town that night with the Kunkels. That was nearly twenty years ago. I recollect it very distinctly, because I lost my situation, aud never played the guitar again.

A DAVENPORT man with three marriageable daughters, has posted the following notice over his bell-pull: "Wood $6 a cord coal, 30 cents a bushel gas, dear and bad. Parties staying after nine o'clock will please settle quarterly. N. B.—A reduction made after popping, and the full amount added to the bridal douceur."
