Additional Local News.
MR, J. R. KENDALL, a prominent citizen of Sidney, Ohio, and General Traveling Agent of the Logansport, Crawfordsville & Southwestern Short Liue R. R., contemplates making Terre Haute his future home. We hope he may make up his mind to do so.
THE following real estate transfers were recorded since our last report: John G. Williams to John S. Beach, part of a lot in the city for $250.
Ralph Conover to Julia A. Snedeker, 6 acres and 70 rods in Spencer's subdivision for $2,000.
Julia and George W. Snedeker to Peter Horn, 3 acres and 35 rods in same subdivision for $1,200.
D. A. RICE has resigned the position of Assistant Train Dispatcher of the Vandalia Line, and is to be succeeded by Ernst Ringer, a gentleman skilled in his calling. Mr. Rice resigns because of the arduous duties of the position he holds as Chief Dispatcher to the Terre Haute & Chicago Railroad.
WE understand that the Phoenix Fire Insurance Company dispute payment of their policy ou the Shannon residence, recently burned, on the grounds that the property was over-estimated iu value. Our Eastern cousins seem disposed to underrate the value of Western property in many cases—and as many as possible.
THE Council approves of the numbering of houses in the city after the Philaphia plan, and will permit Harrison & Purcell to do the numbering, leaving it to the option of the citizens to patronize them. Though there is no compulsion, if Messrs. H. & P. understaud their business, we would advise all our readers to secure numbers from them. We want no botch work.
WE learn on good authority that the Mossier Brothers, enterprising Indianapolis, Chicago and Terre Haute clothiers, have succeeded in securing the excellent business stand on Main street, recently occupied by N. Katzenbach. Messrs. Dressick & Hertzel have a representative out on a tour of inspection of the other establishments of this firm to fit up this room after the same style.
That Bond Question.
At the regular meeting of the City Council, last evening, Mr. Bridenthal, on behalf of the manufacturing interests of the city, stated that inasmuch as the press aud people seemed disposed to discuss the bond question, it would be tietter to postpone action in the premises until the subject lias been more fully discussed.
This was wise and just. The scheme proposed is one that should be well and thoroughly canvassed before any action is taken. A GAZETTE correspondent

suggested an important, point, yesterday. We hope others will do likewise, oil both sides of the queiiin. Like our "Star" correspondent-, we believe in goin slow in this matter. We want to do all we can, and advise others to do all in their power to encourage and facilitate the establishment of manufactures in aud about the city, and then foster their growth and progress, but in this we must proceed with care and caution that we may hot rush wildly into a theory the practice of which may prove detrimental to the general weal.
Manufactures.
Editors Evening Gazette: It is a fact, of which all public spirited citizens speak with pride, that Terre Haute has always had a thoroughly honest city government. No matter which party has been the dominant one, its representatives in our Council Chamber, have generally been honest men. There is probably but one man in our city, and he'your correspondent of yesterday, who would be willing to insinuate anything dishonorable against the members of our present Council. Whatever their politics, we know them to be honest and true men, seeking in what they do to advance the best interests of our city. All your correspondent's insinuations about their desire to use their official position for speculative purposes, are uncalled for.
Nobody has asked "the people of this community to transfer the management of their commercial affairs to the guardanshipof a political body."
Very many of our enterprising citizens have, however, asked their public servants to devise some measure that will encourage the location in our midst, of large manufacturing e3tablis hments. It can be demonstrated beyond a possibility of a doubt, we think, that the recent proposition made, to loan the credit of the city for the purpose stated, can be carried out without taxing our citizens a single cent.
It is believed further that the plan" proposed would actually lessen the rate of taxation, and add to the good of the city in financial circles. Let the proper authority be obtained from the Legislature, aud let our Council submit the question to a vote of the people, aud Mr. "Goslow" will find himself outvoted five to one. Terre Haute occupies the position she now holdg in spite of your "goslows," whose policy, if followed, would soon make of our city a mere railroad crossing, while more enterprising cities would reap the benefits of the future. "Get ahead as fast as you honorably can," is a much better motto than "go slow." Yours, GO-AHEAD.
The subject of annexing the Sandwich Islands is now engrossing the attention of statesmen and Mark Twain. The Tribune favors the project, but sees an objection in the fifty thousand natives. It asks: "To what use could we put this population The answer is easy. Hang 'em. The people of this country claim that there should be more hanging done. Here then is the opportunity. Whenever a case of hanging is demanded let one of the Sandwich Islanders be suspended. The body could be petrified by some new process and used as a hydrant.—Dariburg News.
From Illinois.
CAIRO, Jan. 22.—Last night, the engineer of the incoming train, on the Cairo & Vincennes Railroad., was shot at twice by an unknown party, in the upper part of the city. One ball struck him in the shoulder, but its force was spent from passing through the woodwork of the cab, aud he was not hurt much. The engineer reported seeing three men, who field after firing the two shots. The railway company offers five hundred dollars reward for the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties.
SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 21.—A. J. Perteet, who has been tried .for murder in Will county, ou a change of venue from Cook county, and who was found guilty and is to be sentenced on Saturday, has written a personal letter to Governor Oglesby asking tor a commutation of his sentence, upon the allegation that the evidence against him is circumstantial. It is not probable that the Governor will interfere.
From Chicago.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.—The wife of W. F. Story, editor of the Times, died yesterday, aged 31 years.
The wife of Horace White, editor of the Tribune, died a few days ago, in Germany.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-^In Poland's Committee, this morning, Ames was questioned particularly, as to his dealings with Members of Congress on Credit MOTHlieTr^He" teBftHed to purchasing tweuty shares for Colfax. He never delivered the certificate to Colfax, but at one time paid him a dividend of $1,200.
Ames, on cross-examination by Colfax, reitered the statement regarding the purchase of stock, but his memory seemed very defective in many other points. He knew Colfax got 1,800 dividends, because he gave Colfax a check for that amount.
Colfax most emphatically denied ever having received a dollar from Ames, aud had no recollection of the check. Ames was then questioned about Senator Wilson, and said that the statement made by the latter a few days ago was strictly correct.
In regard to Speaker Blaine and Dawes, Ames said that the statement heretofore made regarding both of them, were substantially correct.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 22.—It now appears that the reported loss of life by the great storm has been greatly exaggerated. Thus, reports were received from apparently trustworthy sources, that seventeen lives had been lost within a radius of a few miles of New Ulm, while, in fact, only two persons met their death by freezing. Very many others caught out in the6torpi were reported lost, but have since returned home, some severely frosted but comparatively few. Similar reports, to the above, in relation to New Ulm, reach the Governor from other sections of the State, where many deaths were reported, and all reduce the list fatalities in nearly the same proportior

WISH ART'S PINE TREE
Tar Cordial,
NATURE'S GREAT REMEDY!
FOR THE
Throat and Lungs.
It is gratifying to us to inform the public that
Dr. L. Q. C. Wishart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial, for Throat and Lung Diseases, has gained an envi
able reputation from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific coast, and from thence to some of the first families of Europe, not through the press alone,
but by persons throughout the States actually benefitted and cured at his office. While he
publishes less, so say our reporters, he Is unab 'e
to supply the demand. It gains and holds it#
ieputation— First. Not by stopping cough, but by loosen-
ing and assisting nature to throw off the un
healthy matter collected about the throat and
bronchial tubes, which causes irritation. Second. It removes the cause of irritation
(which produces cough) of the mocons mem.
brane and bronchial tubes, assists the lungs to act and throw off unhealthy secretions, and pu
rifies the blood.
Third. It is free from squills, labelia, ipeeae and opium, of which most throat and lungr^m-_
edles are composed, which allay cough only,
and disorganize the stomach. It has a sooth-: ing effect on the stomach, acts on the liver and
kidneys, and lymphatic and nervous regions,
thus reaching to every part of the system, and in its invigorating aud purifying effects it hasr
gained a reputation which it must hold above
all others in the market.
