THE death of 1872 wil several city churches

WE need not call attention to an advertisement of Mossier Bros, in this is sue. None but the blind will fail to see and read it.

OUR townsman, J. W. Palmateer, received this morning, from Olney, 111., a dispatch from his brother George, announcing the death of his father, B. Palmateer.

ANitemJheaded/'GIobules'"Christmas Gifts appeared in our columns, Saturday, credited to the Indianapolis Evening Journal, when it should have been Evening News.

SEVERAL teachers, headed by Prof. Wiley, Superintendent of the City Schools, will attend the State Teachers' Association annual meeting at Logan sport, which convenes to-morrow.

MRS. PARQUE, a colored oratoress, who is said to rival Auna Dickinson in eloquence, will lecture on New Year's night at the A. M. E. Church. This is the 15th and 16th Amendments combined, and should be encouraged. Toe the mark, believers.

THE Iron Moulders' .Union ball, at Dowling Hall, New Years' Eve, will be an event of no ordinary interest. The gentlemen composing tbis Union, are worthy of the most generous support of the public, whose interests they subserve. Theu, let the ball be full on the occasion of their ball

CLEARNESS is an important feature in an advertisement. People seldom take the trouble to make sense out of nonsense, and will not dig for an idea if they can help it. It is those "who speak right out" find themselves listened to, and it is the same in advertising as it is in "meetin'."

A SERIES of union revival meetings between the United Brethren and Methodist demon! nations, which has been in progress at Prairieton for the past three weeks, closed on Saturday. Its results have been very satisfactory, and 81 persous were converted to a faith and mode of life they knew not before.

Some voted for Mr. Edmunds because of his devotion to the lost cause others to endorse bis stubborn orthodoxy others to show appreciation of his earnest support of the great "Liberal" movement This is all very well, but why did not the great Union heart—the spirit that stood back (back at home) of the million brave spirits that died and were ready to die for their country—wby didn't this spirit rally to the support of the loyal editors?

Mr. Edmunds was at home in bed when the committee waited on him with the great news. A brass band piped away on the outside, and salvos of artillery shocked the broad ear of night. He only turned over in his couch and said, "The approbation \)f the populace is gratifying to my auricular organ," and then he relapsed into peaceful slumber.

Editors Evening Gazette The chronic old sore-head who exhibits weekly, through the Mail, the ability to fill up a goodly portion of a column with "T. T." this and that, is mad, probably either because he has been tempted into spending a dimefor somebody more poplar than himself, or else because the public have not voted him the most popular man in his profession, so in his article last Saturday he goes out of the way to insult the ladies of our churches and the clergymen, merchants, lawyers, editors, and railroad men, for whom they and the public have recently voted, by suggesting that they next ballot for the most popular rum-seller.

Very possibly our churches might get "T.. T's." climes in that way, but perhaps it is about as well to let "T. T's." dimes go direct to his favorite "saloon keeper." Tbe church is probably quite as well off without them.

78 MAIN STREET, BETWEEN THIRD AND FOURTH, TERRE HAUTE.

From the Sunday Express. That Pen.

It was only an ordinary sold pen, such as any editor who has credit at the bookstores could buy.

The idea that it went for seven dollars and thirty cents Why, any of the unsuccessful ones could have raised more than that sum by singing in a choir.

There's no use talking,gentlemen tbis anti-Darwin sentiment is a strong, stubborn thing here.

Mr. Edmunds ought to feel insulted by this endorsement of himself by the oldtime blue*bellied Yankees.

It's disgusting to think of a New England Kitchen voting for a long, dark,sinister Bourbon.

There is a man in this office who will stake his reputation against a pewter spoon, (even bet) that the "King" furnished the money.

It was really distressing, yesterday, to look at the emerald optics of the editors who didn't get the pen. There was ardor and enthusiasm, even genius, in their profanity as they addressed themselves to the task of regulating the office boys subordinate to them.

Settlement of the claims of the Erie Railroad against Jay Gould is stil in progress and will not be completed for several days, as all the deeds are not yet copied.

Barlow had an interview on Saturday with Gould's counsel and reports everything satisfactory, most of the deed having been signed and sealed, and the remainder will receive attention as soon as it is out of the hands of the copyist.

Tbe members of the Arcadian Club, in sympathy for the death of D. O. C. Townley, adopted resolutions appointing ten men to act as pall-bearers, and that the club house be draped in mourning for 30 days, and requiring members to join in the funeral ceremonies. The funeral takes place to-morrow.

A Washington special to the Times says thus far it is known that three members of the Cabinet will positively retire of their own record on the 4th of March next, viz: Fish, Boutwell and Williams. All of them will tender their resignation, but only those three, so far as it is now known, will decline further service. Fish will retire in accordance with a determination long since expressed, although the President has recently expressed his very strong desire to have him remain in the Cabinet as long as he remains in the Presidency.

Boutwell will retire positively, whether called to service in the Senate or not. Attorney General Williams will likewise voluntarily decline further official service, in deference to future business plans.

DAYTON, O., Dec, 30.—Mrs. Caroline Owen, relict of the late Allison Owen, dropped dead on the sidewalk in front of the residence of ber brother-in-law, Sam'l Craighead, Esq, West Third street, Saturday afternoon, at or about 5 o'clock. She started out to take a walk, and iust as she stepped out of tbe gate she fell, after which she never spoke, expiring immediately. Mrs. Owen was about nrty years of age, and wasauidter-iu-law

of the late S. N. Pike. The cause of her death is not known, but it is believed to have been dissease of the heart.

Saturday night, about 12 o'clock, a man named Vic. Foster, who keeps a keno bank on Third street, shot and probably mortally wounded two desperadoes, named Ed. Spang and John Catheart, who had several times threatened to take Foster's life on sight. He had just stepped into the bar room, and seeing his sworn enemies before him, knew that the result would be either bis or their death, so he fired three shots at Spang and one at Catheart, both of whom are reported dying to-night from the effects of their wounds. Foster gave himself up to the police, and his preliminary examination will take place to-morrow. The sympathy generally is for Foster, for the two men whom he shot were nothing less than human vampires, knocking down, shooting and stabbing ruthlessly everybody at whom they were offended.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—Boutwell's resignation has been prepared. He retires from, the Cabinet on the 15th of February. Judge Richardson succeeds him._ Secretary Delano was a prominent candidate for the Secretaryship, and it was asserted that the President promised him the position,owingtoalarge number of the changes he announced his intention of makiug when he appointed. Richardson was fixed upon instead of Boutwell. 0n retiring there will be an entire canvass for United States Senatorship.

The Latest Phase of Fashionable Idiocy. Household pets would scarcely form an indispensable accessory to the entourage of a fashionable lady out of France, but here they are derigeur. Of all the caprice of fashionable life, this ISI« to me the most iucompensible, for it entails florid of trouble and annoyance. American women, as a general thing, do not indulge in it, and they show their consideration for their friends by abstain ingfrom^ it. Nothing can be more ridiculous thans the extent to Which this mania is pushed by the Parisian ladies, in walking the broad and aristocratic avo* nues one frequently sees the large doors of some handsome hotel suddenly thrown open by a liveried flunkey, to permit the exit of some neatly attired Ciarisse or Fancbette, with balf a dozen

... 7 .•

specimens of the canine species of all sizes and colors. In fashionable carriages, the front seat is usually given up to those troublesome pests -a nice warm fur is placed for their benefit, and the horses are made to pace quietly, that their doze may not be disturbed. I even saw a fair lady, a few days since, unable to tie an exquisitely embroidered blanket on^ the back of her recalcitrant pug, call in the help of the passers-by, her efforts and those of her footman being completely paralyzed by their natural desire not to encounter the sharp tooth of the little darling, who snapped and snarled, tearing at the laces and satins of his doating mistress, until a poor laborer resolutely took hold of him by the nape of his neck and with his large and anything but cleau hands tied on the necessary wrap Although quite a crowd had collected, not a smile was to be seen on any of the faces of the bystanders, and murmurs ofsatisfaction even greeted this successful operation. It is unaccountable to me bow fashionable women, who naturally dislike trouble, can burden themselves with such nuisances, but far more incomprehensible is the new class of pets which they have adopted to solace their idle hours—namely, monkeys*" Every afternoon, walking ostentatiously along the Avenue des Acacias, may be seen a middle-aged lady, attired in the highest style, followed by two footmen and a huge monkey. Jocko appears to be in excellent condition, and is left unchained, although a silver baud around his body shows that correction is occasionaly necessary. He seems to be impressed with the grandeur of his surroundings, and makes the most admirable faces at the passers-by.
