A SYNOPSIS of the report of Ageut of State Shanmon—the last of the noble men who will fill that office—will be found in another column. It is an exhaustive report.

WE understand that the Logansport, Crawfordsville & Southwestern Railroad has a contract for shipping a large amount of valuable lumber to California —the land of "big trees."

SCHOOL'S tooken up," is the way a learned urchin put it when addressing a comrade, yesterday afternoon. Who is his teacher? A wooden medal could be worthily awarded that teacher.

AND still we progress. Messrs. Cookerly & Kelley have fitted themselves up a suite of rooms over Shannon's Bank, near those occupied by Havens & Faris, to which they invite those who are seeking for legal light.

THE smallpox is still prevailing at Robinson, Illinois, to a fearful extent. Though there are not over five hundred people in the town, there have been about twenty-five deaths from the disease, since New Year's day.

IT is rumored that a prominent railroad man, who makes his headquarters in Toledo, contemplates wedding a Terre Haute belle. A Valiant maii is he, believing as he doubtless does, that "faint heart never won fair lady."

LYDIA THOMPSON will storm the domestic castle of Terre Haute, in March, A stormy month.

THE manufacturing question is creating quite a breeze in bustaeSs and financircles, generally.

IT seems that we are having our full share of snow this season. We want no more of "old probabilities."

WE understand that the Hibernian ball was ajinancial success. It ought to have been, being as it was an aistbetical success.

U. R. JEFFEJKS, who has been! on the pick, list, was better yesterday able to be on the street, and attending to his daily duties.

J. M., JOHN R. and Charles M. Lord have gone into the real estate business in Indianapolis, under the firm name of J. M. Lord & Sons.

THE average ruralist stops in front of Riddle's to admire "that portable steam saw mill," in the show window: of that establishment.

THERE is a lively demand, by the owners of henneries, of the female fowls, to shell out. Eggs can hardly be had here for 50 cents a dozen.

hundred students are searching for knowledge at the Normal School, Terre Haute.—State Sentinel.

The Origin of a Scare.

One of our best business men is a very devout Christian, and no matter how many degrees below zero the thermome ter may indicate when he enters his resi. deuce, after the vexatious duties of mercantile life for the day are done, he never fails to .kneel down in the hallway ana address his Master in terms of thankfulness. Not long since, a young lady who makes her home in his family, as a boarder, returned from an entertainmeut or prayer meeting, accompanied by a young gentleman, who, with her night key, unlocked the door and passed her into the hall, and was on the point of bidding her good night:, when a loud shriek startled him and made eaoh individual hair stand up on its own individuality. He rushed back to ilie door to see what the matter could be, aud the lady still screaming "burglars and bloody murder," rushed frantically past him out into the cold atmopphere, which had already wafted her out cries to the eara of the neighbors who were douning thnlr attire to investigate the causes thereof. He grasped at her receding form, but failed to secure her, and onward and outward she rushed and still she shouted. The youth, now thoroughly affrighted, shed his shoes, and both were lost in the general gloom.

Now let us return to the cause of this catastrophe. It was a pious cause. The form that the young lady had taken for a stalwart burglar,, was that of the merchant, engaged in silent prayer, in his own hallway. This fact was developed when the young lady retunred.

Receptions.

AT DOWNING HALL,

there -was in attendance a large and yet rather select audience, last exeniug. The occasion was the sixth annual ball of the [Hibernian Benevolent JSoeiety, a soeiety that always acquits itself most sH-ecessfully in all it undertakes. The jayoas occasion was prolonged to a late hour. Tout's band furnishing She music that moved the flying to renewed exertions as the hours sped on. Breuning, of the Bon ton restaurant, snppffe«tsupper to the guests and such a supper? Everything in the line of substantial as# delicacies that the market and the season would admit was served up in great abundance, and all prepared in the most approved style of the art of cookery.

AT TURNER'S HALL.

The ladies of the Hebrew faith? gave a reception, and a large number of their friends responded who were not Hebrews, but who well understood the hospitalities which they are wont to dispense. Breinig's orchestra made all meiry with their cheerful music, and Steiamehl refreshed the inner man. Both these bails will be long and pleasantly remembered by all who attended.

A Veteran Lamascoite.

He was a veteran soldier from the city of Lamasc©, and was gazing with wonderment at the sights in Dooley's show window. We were standing within ten feet of him, talking with a friend. After seemingly satisfying his curiosity, he turned toward us, and moved off jn a double-quick, soliloquizing, thusly "Diarrhoeas, for 18731 Don't want none in mine! Had 'em bad, ten years ago, when in the Army of the Tennessee. No diarrhoeas for me. Thank ye I"

THEY have a telegraphic instrument constantly in operation at the Terre Haute office of the Adams Express Company. It facilitates business to an almost incredible degree. Postmaster General Creswell has instructed Filbeck to watch the machine, and will give him charge of it when the postal telegraph bill becomes a law. Morton has recommended him as thoroughly competent, and by reasou of his holding in the palm of his hand the destiny of the Republican party of Vigo county—the banner Republican county of Indiana—he ought to have it.

days since, a fine-looking liver-

colored canine came to this affice, was advertised, but escaped before the owner called. This afternoon he returned, and, at this writing, is here again. His owner, we understand, resides ia Bagdad. He is, therefore, notified to come* claim said property, and take the same h^nce, at his'earliest convenience, and we will endeavor to restrain him, meanwhile.

THE Terre Haute papers have organized a mutual admiration soeiety, and puff each other.—Lafayette Journal.

Better than a mutual hate society, like the one that has an existence in the Star City, so called. Wer would rather puff each other here than indulge in personal abuse. But it may be that it is quite complimentary when one LaFayette editor calls another a liar aud a thief.!

if nothing had happened. Such a fellow could be dropped from the Opera House dome to the sidewalk below, and alight on his cheek without abrasion to himself. Won't somebody try it in the interest of science?

AND still preparations are being made for that great Odd Fellows celebration. In addition to the Opera Honse exercises, consisting of short speeches, there will be a street parade "under the gaslight"— if there happens to be any gaslight on that evening.

That magnificent Steinway Grand Piand, ou which Rubinsteiu so gracefully performed the other evening, at the Opera House, is on exhibition at Shide's Musical Institute, and is for sale. Call and examine. 23dtf

From the Danville, (111.) Commercial.

Amongthe many popular institutions of Terre Haute, Indiana, is that of Foster Brothers' Great New York City Store. The reputation of this firm is extending over the entire West, and their system of business, and its rapidly growing dimensions, promise at no distant day to make them as widely known as Mr. A. T. Stewart, who has, for so many years, stood at the head of the retail dry goods and carpet trade, The success of this firm of young men—for the eldest is but thirty-four—is something very remarkable, and is to be attributed to their system of retailing dry goods and carpets at wholesale prices, to their liberal but judicious system of advertising, aud to their courteous and honorable treatment of all their customers. Tew years ago they had but one small store, which was located upon the corner of Bleeker and Commerce streets, in the city of New York. Their capital was very small, their experience* slight and their acquaintance limited. But they possessed what was far more valua ble—good character, industrious habits and indomitable wills. Upon these they relied for the success they have since at tained. They knew the road that lay before them was an up hill road, but they resolutely commenced the ascent. Very soon their store became too small for their business, when it was enlarged aud otherwise improved. Not long afterward they opened an additional store upon Eighth Avenue, in the city ofNewYork In the fall, of 1S68, they opened their third store, at f'orfc Wayne, in the State of Indiana, a year and a half later tueir store at Terre Haute, Indiana. The next year their store at Evansville, In diana, and last spring their store at Grand Rapids, Michigan. All of these enter prises have proved abundantly successful and each of the stores are doing a very large and profitable business. Their combined sales are nearly a million of dollars yearly, and the rate of increase never so great as now. We predict for this firm a most extraordinary future Should their sales increase as rapidly during the next decade as they have dur ing the last, they will then exceed in amount the sales of any retail dry goods firm in America. It is thought before that time the sales of the Terre Haute store aloue will amount to over a half million of dollars annually.

"And still the wonder grew,'" How Reibold could sell a Boot or Shoe, So much cheaper than others do, And.a much better article, too. How he does it is his secret. But "that such is a fact .you can convince yourself by calling at his store, Main street, near Third, north side.

Presents for New Years. Riddle.

Rend! Read! Read!—Since the great Boston fire, many merchants have been spreading the report that goods have advanced wonderfully, to enable them to sell their shelf-worft, high price:! 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 fire, and have n.ever 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 than 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.
