COLD CHRISTMAS.

VERY interesting reading will be found on inside of this issue.

THE trains were considerably delayed this morning, caused by the storm.

NEW YEAR'S addresses are being incubated by fertile brains—in rhyming dictionaries.

THE Second Presbyterian Church festival at Dowling Hall last evening was a financial success.

ON the evening of the 7th of January Asbury Church will give a concert of sacred music, at that structure.

MESSRS. GARVIN & HEINLY will give a short vacation to the many students at tending their Commercial College.

BI^HO^P BOWMAN will most likely be invited to address the Woman's Sufirage Association of this city at an early date. None would give the good cause greater strength.

MR. A. P. LEE, senior member of the enterprising grocery firm of Lee Bros., is en route to Indianapolis, on a two weeks' respite from business. His wife,and son, Lester Edwin Lee, preceded him to the Capital City.

BUBGiiABS went through the house of George A. Hayward & Co. last night, and succeeded in the fowl tlieft of a turkey which weighed fifteen pounds^ They pried off the window shutter* and •ash, and thus entered.

Love and Lavendar.

The heartily reciprocated, and bu^ badly disguised affections of a rural couple for each other, attracted the concentrated gaze of all who were at the Opera House last evening, including the artists on the stage and the scene shifters who peered out from behind the curtain.

She was arrayed in lavendar, perfumed with lavendar, and was a lavendar bride, as Eli Perkins would say. He wore a butterfly necktie, patent leather boots and a suit of black, with kid gloves of the cheerful color known as buff. She sat and smiled approvingly ou him as he vainly endeavored to weave his arm about her waspy waist. His exertions were commendable for their persistency, and alone reprehensible for lack of success, because of the peculiar construction of the balcony chairs in which they sat. A full force of

GAZETTEERS

were

t^iere and wistfully watched the pair, and approvingly applauded when he succeeded in disposing of his hauds, by depositing them iu her lap, while sh.3 gracefully covered them up with the programme. What followed we are not informed, but from the vast volume of blood that rushed to their cheeks the GAZETTEERS present wera led to believe that there was pressure on the extremities, that is to say, their hand3 were mutually squeezed. But we must leave them to the enjoyment of their newfound happiness, first most humbly apologising for the publicity we have given their deep, silent, soul-devouring affection.

Contested Will Case..

For some time rumors have been current in the upper stratum of social life in this city, that the will of the late wife of Minister Nelson would be contested in court. Those rumors were verified yesterday, when Messrs. Baird & Cruft and Allen & Mack and I. N. Pierce, appeared before the Common Pleas Court, sitting in Probate, Judge Scott on tbeBenc^,and presented for probate what purported to be the last will and testament of Mrs. Elizabeth Key Nelson, which wills and bequeaths her property to her husband, Thomas H. Nelson.

Col. W. E. McLean appeared in behalf of the children of deceased, and announced his intention of contesting the same, in behalf of Mrs. S. K. Hannegan et. al., on the grounds that deceased had made a will, previous to that time, devising all her property to-her children, Contestant claims that the will,presented by attorneys for Nelson, was obtained by the exercise of undue influence on the deceased, prior to the execution of the instrument. The case was continued for further proceedings. Mr. McLean has associated with him the Hon. J. E. McDonald,- of Indianapolis, and the contest bids fair to be a spirited one. The property at issue is estimated to be worth about $40,000, a sufficient sum to prove quite a bone of contention.

It seems strikingly strange that father and children should be arrayed against each other in a court of justice, striving for the possession'of the propery left by the dead wife and mother.

Rankin's Rip.

Mr. McKee Rankin, supported by a competent comedy company, appeared in the great Jefferson's specialty of Rip Van Winkle at the Opera House, last evening, Mr. Rankin assuming the title role. Though there was a beggarly array of empty benches, owing to the iujudicious or insufficient advertising, the play was wel! presented.

Mr. Rankin's impersonation of the vagabond Dutchman of the Catskills, while it is not so highly artistic as the rendition of the same character by Jefferson, is of a high order of the art dramatic. In some of the scenes, Mr. Rankin very nearly approximates the acting of Mr. Jefferson, and in others we are not so sure, but that he excels but on the whole falls far behind. When Mr. Jefferson shall have passed away, then will Mr. Rankin take his place, if he cannot fill it for he stands second to Jefferson, in the presentation of this most eccentric character, though he has a foemeu worthy of his steel in the person of Robert McWade, who, however, plays his own, and, we think, a better version than does Jefferson and Rankin, the two, latter playing substantially the samep^ersion.

Mr. Rankin has made a v6ry visible improvement in this character since he was here last season, which argues strongly in his favor as the future Rip Van Winkle.

THE most artistic specimen of blank, book making we have ever seen in this city, is just out from the bindery department of Hudson & Rose, job printers, Gazette building. The book is manufactured for the Bessemer Steel Company, and is designed as a record of mineral leases, to be sent to London for -filling up by capitalists who invest in Indiana mineral lands. The ruling, though intricate, is a model of art, and the book is bound with costly imported Russian leather, in a style highly creditable to Mr. Schnabel, the binder.

The festival of the Second Presbyterian Church, last evening, was a very pleasurable occasion, and was enjoyed by a goodly number. A varied programme was rendered in the most attractive style. The supper served was second to none, aud was correspondingly relished.

The balloting for canes, to be presented to the most popular dry goods merchant, and lawyer,was quite spirited, and in the former case resulted in favor ofC. Warren, of the firm of Warren, Hoberg & Co., who received over 506 •votes, Messrs. G. H. Ripley, firm of Tuell, Ripley & Deming, Max Hoberg, D. N. Foster, W. S. Ryce, D. C. Greiner and others, were put in nomination, and received very flattering support, especially Mr. Ripley.

Iu the latter case, Sid. B. Davis, of the firm of Davis & Davis, carried off the prize, receiving 110 votes. Messrs, Thompson, Smith, Rumsey, Stimpson, and others were voted for by quite a number.

Why can't the most popular editor get caned—over the shoulders for instance

THIS

Church, on Fourteenth street, is still increasing. Services for the Sabbath as follows General class meeting at 9:30 A. M. preaching at 10:30 A. M. prayer at 6:30 P. M., and preaching at 7 P. M.

Tlic question now most agitating the "average Terre Haute soul," is not the epizootic, the Darwinian theory, nor even the effort being made to upset the project for that magnificent Court House. Just now the all-absorbing question is: What shall I give him, or what shall I give her,for a Christmas present. A stroll through the metropolitan establishment of Foster Brothers, has already helped many to decide that vexed question, Their shelves, counters and show-cases are loaded and filled up with the most attractive and useful kinds of Holiday Presents for both ladies and gentlemen, and their presents have been largely reduced in many departments, in order to make their great Holiday sales unusually successful. Readers of this paper can hardly find elsewhere so good a place to make their purchases as at the far-famed. New York City Store.

Having purchased the staple stock of Dry Goocis of Tuell, Ripley & Deming, Ave propose adding'every article necessary to make the assortment the most complete in the city. It is ottr intention to keep a first-lass stock, replete with the novelties of the day, and maintain, if we cannot surpass, 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 & Dealing'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?.1 "Cheap goods" will be Our cry, and it shall not be alj cry, as investigating public \yill learn. i7iUf 'Wiivsow BROS, fy HUN^Y. a
