SATURDAY, JANUARY IS, 1873.

City and Neighborhood.

MATINEE at Dowling Hall this afternoon.

M. O. FROST,of the Marshall Herald, is ia the city.

QUITE an interesting revival is iu progress at Asbury Church.

WHEN we don't have city news then there is none to be had.

LOGRENIA closes his week's performance in this city this evening.

CRIMINAL Court in session to-day, but nothing of general interest transpiriu

DAVID N. GOULD, route agent of the Vandalia line, is quite ill, we regret to learn.

THE naughtiest man in Iudiaiaa resides in Cambridge City, and he "edits" the Tribune.

THEY are still agitating that railroad question at Marshall. The Herald lives in hopes.

OF course you wiil attend the Rubinstein concert you won't be in the fashion if you don't.

MR. E. E. ZIMMERMAN, brother of F. Z., of the Rubinstein Concert Company is iu the city.

THE Terre Haute milliners are having their hands full of business, fitting out our belles for the concert.

A GERMAN, whose name we did not learn, secured the chamber sett at the Logrenia entertainment last evening.

MCBIRNEY & Co. ceased to slaughter yesterday, and now all they have to do is to cure what they have already packed.

THERE is a kind of ink, so thick, that the pen must needs be greased before the fluid will flow. We have some of it.

THE Banner has not yet forgiven Mr. Milligan for his position" on the liquor question. Mr. Fabricius is revengeful, we fear.

LAST night of Logrenia.—Express. We hope our neighbor is mistaken, Xiogrenia looks like a healthy man but "in the midst of life we are in deatjj."

THE Express wants Terre Haute to ride the wave leading to fortune. The Lamascoite journals are arousing the latent local pride of the Expressman.

CYRUS N. WALLS, formerly with the Terre Haute Mail, is now editor and proprietor of the Danville Indianian. There is great .demand for the Indianian for wrapping purposes.

REV. L. B. SMITH, of Huntington, Indiana, will preach at the Christian Chapel, on Mulberry street, to-morrow, at the usual hours, morning and evening. All are invited.

IN another column a straight-out Republican gives vent to his grievances in the matter of postal management. In so far as the head of the department is concerned, we 'g"eewith him.

WE learn that there is quite a revival interest in Asbury M. E. Church. A number of persons were inquirers at the meeting on last evening. The meetings are full of religious interest.

WE give up considerable of our space to-day, to a descriptive article from the New York Sun, wherein Prof. Danaldson, the daring teronaut and his little balloon, are made the subject.

THE Paris Times has suspended. The editor and proprietor was elected to the Legislature and bis fall from the path of rectitude so cast down his proud spirit that he has not had the heart to do anything.

PREACHING to-morrow at Asbury, corner of Fourth and Poplar streets, at 10i A. M., by Rev. S. M. Stimson, of the Baptist Church, and at 7 P. M., by the pastor, Rev. James Hill. The public are invited.

THE postofflce lobby was made the scene' of a spirited discussion on pos,tal management, this morning. W&at if Creswell and—Biiniattr«vhad been tinv little moulds, and hadb,een secreted in a crevidCuearby!

That Postofflce.

Editors Evening Gazette: The "postoffice war" still wages in this city. Your correspondent is in favor of a change. In fact, he would like to see it start with the"o® woman" now at the head of that department, at Washington. He would delight to seethechange continued, until all the assistant "old women" in that Department had taken their departure. He would like the good work to go on until every postmaster throughout the length atad breadth of the land, who has had any hand in bringing the Postoffice Department up to its present efficiency as a means of annoyance to the people, should be relieved of his arduous duties. Then, when the places that once knew these old fossils, should know them no more, forever, he would like to see men take hold of the Postoffice Department who will realize that the United States postal service is intended to be a means of grace to that people, and not a means of condemnation', a system for accommodating the public, and not ior annoying it, and that the postal laws aim to make the people bless—not curse—tie "the best Government the sun e'er shone upon." We want just a little bit of common sense in that department, and we want oceans of ignorance and meanness driven out of it. We want live, sensible men and women in it, not old, musty mummies, wrapped up in their self importance and tied around in red tape. Give us here and elsewhere liberally managed postoffices, liherally construed laws, especially when the interests of the Government and the people are identical, stop the petty thieving of the department that takes from the public SIX CENTS because a letter bearing a threecent stamp happens to weigh half a pennyweight over half an ounce, stop silly and arbitrary rulings of the department and conduct our postoffices in such away that the people shall feel that they are not the servants of the Postmaster, but rather he theirs. Anything for a change, Mersrs. Editors, anything for a change. STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN

THE Express seems to be in favor of the city's issuing nine per cent, bonds to the amount of $200,000, they to be sold and the proceeds therefrom loaned on fair mortgage security at six per cent, interest, on long time, to parties desiring to establish manufacturing enterprises with the understanding that the borrowers shall invest $2 of their own money to $1 borrowed from the fund realized by the city under the above plan. This plan is elucidated further as follows

The city's total loan of two hundred thousand dollars shall attract not less than four hundred thousand of private capital, making an aggregate of six hundred thousand. Tho city would pay nine per cent, on its bonds and receive six per cent, for its loans. The apparent loss in this trans action would be six thousand dollars year. Tiie real loss would be nothing, as the enhanced value of taxablos in the city, caused by the impetus given thus to business, would more than compensate the city for its outlay.

From the New York Herald.

Heuri Wieiiiawsfci.

With the great Russian pianist is associated an artist scarcely inferior in his line. Many years ago the first appearance of Wieniawski in London was made the occasion of a remarkable ovation,and time has matured and perfected the wonderful talent he then exhibited. We have had no such finished artist on tho violin since the days of Paganini. Ease, intelligibility, even in the most intricate passages a shading of tone of a marvelous order and a finish of execution such as we have looked for in vain in the concert hall before, are the distinguishing characteristics of Wieniawski's playing. He is also a composer of no inconsiderable rank, and his works will attract as much atteution as his performances on the "king ofinstruments."

THE Mattoon tri-weekly Journal, of Tuesday, says that "C. E. Benten, late Master Mechanic, of the Indianapolis & St. Louis car shops, in that city, goes to St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, to fill the position of Superintendent of Machinery on the Chicago & Canada Southern Railway." Mr. Benton is one of the most experienced and skillful workmen in the country, and his loss will be greatly felt by- the Indianapolis & St. Louis Company. But, then, that corporation has other skilled mechanics.

A LAMASCO editor perpetrates the following The highest ambition of Terre Haute editors is to marry healthy washerwomen^ who can support them in the elegant style to which they have been accustomed.

Were their wives to receive the patronage of none but such fellows as the writer of the above, the Terre Haute editors would not be supported in the elegant style to, which they have been accustomed.

THE following real estate transfers were recorded yesterday afternoon none received for record to-day, up to noon

Geo. L. Beigler to John Zimmerman, lot in Grantor's subdivision for $400. Mary A. and Geo. Miller to Mary D. Phillippi, lot in Parson's subdivision for §1,000.

August Fuscli^to Caroline Frasa, lot in Gilbert Place for"$1,700. The real estate business is exceedingly dull now.

WE learn, indirectly, from Mr. Frost, of the Marshall Herald, thatajwonderful revival is In progress among the Methodist brethren of that place. Sixty persons have already united with the church as the fruits of the meetings. The churches were so crowded with men women and children that the services had to be held in Harlan's Hall in order to accommodate all who sought for admission.

IN speakingof services at the Marshall Congregational Church last Sunday, the Herald makes the following allusion to a well-known Terre Hautean

Dr. Jewett, of Terre Haute, was with us and assisted in the exercises of the day. Dr. Jewett is a man who has labored wtth us for over thirty years, and has secured a host of warm friends in this community. He will be with us-again on Sunday, 26tb day of January.

Stand up and receive thanki.

From the Marshall Herald,

Ancient Diinvlan Relies.

There has been some rather singular discoveries made within the last month, we are informed by our old friend 8. Park, in digging a well for water on the farm of Mr. J. F. Mayer, about one mile southwest of Marshall. The well is on land situated on the same elevated plateau on which the city of Marshall is built. It lies on the western slope of this elevation, and is perhaps not more than thirty or forty feet lower than the most elevated part of the city. The character of the land where the well is dug, is that common to all of this part of the county—a light colored sandy loam, to the depth of twelve or fifteen feet, sue ceeded by a strata, usually termed "the hard-pan," an incipient rock formation, varying in thickness, in different localities, from eight to twelve or fifteen feet In this case they passed the "hard-pan," at the depth of twenty-five feet below the surface, when they came upon the diluvian, having the appearance of a black sandy loam. This character con tinued as far as they dug, which was about seven feet below the "hard-pan." When they struck this soft and friable strata, they came upon a large boulder, that would weigh some 300 or 400 pounds, and two or three considerable blocks of limestone. After removing these, they came upon a considerable quantity of brush wood, varying in size from small twiga, to pieces several inches in diameter. Someof these specimens have the appearance of red cedar,. or some other hard semi-resinous wood, others show some of the characteristic of the grape vine, while others have more the appearance of a species of bamboo or some other reedy production, but of a close and firm woody texture. But these specimens have lost all of their elasticy, and are so completely divested of all resinous, or other characteristics of sound wood, that it is impossible to determine to what species of wood any of them belong, or whether to any now found on our Continent, still they have not lost their combustible properties, and on being burned they emit a slightly bi tuminous odor.

Attention.—As it is a well known fact that a house doing a credit business and paying high rents, must have large profits to pay for bad debts, we have marked our goods at least 10 per cent, lower than houses doing a credit business, as we! sell "only for cash," and our rents are low. We do our own cutting, and guarantee good fits and workmanship.
