City and Neighborhood.
SHOVEL the snow from your sidewalk, will you THE snow of yesterday retarded travel to a very disagreeable degree, railroaders tell us.
OH!
wouldn't you like to be an Odd
Fellow and with the Odd Fellows march, to-night.
A LITERARY sooiety of the State Normal School, has a meeting at that structure, to-night.
WE are pleased to learn that the Hibernian Benevolent Society cleared about $200 on their sixth annual ball.
THE Odd Fellows, when they march under the gas light, this evening, will need to wear snow shoes.
IF this weather continues, then will the future oldest inhabitants refer to the winter of 1872-3, as the winter of the big snow.
THE E. T. O. Club gave a splendid reception, at the Opera House Promenade Hall, last night. Tout's full string band furnished the music.
THE incoming train on the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railroad stuck in the snow somewhere in the corporate limits of the city, we understand^
"THE woman in black" has returned to Terre Haute, to the infinite delight of leading Spiritualists, who will open wide the portals of their purses to receive her.
THE friends of Temperance will have a meeting at the Congregational Church, to-morrow night, upon which occasion, Col. Thompson will address the assemblage.
JOHN SMITH, well known in this aud other communities, had a quarrel in New York, last night. It seems that he is a very quarrelsome fellcw. See telegraphic columns for particulars.
MR. AND MRS. WILLARD are in town. They come to prosecute some of the leading local lights of the Spiritualistic firmament for libelous publications in thei2eligio Philosophical Journal, of Chicago.
THE telegraphic dispatches of the Evening GAZETTE gave the particulars of that terrible disaster near Dover, many hours in advance of the morning papers. It was an awful disaster, and very' destructive of human life.
THE employees of trains, on the railroads, since yesterday morning, have had quite a lively time of it. Whenever stops were, made, they found it necessary to sprinkle ashes and sand on the track, before the engine could start up again.
A CHOIR, specially organized and drilled for the occasion, will furnish the vocal music at the Odd Fellows' celebration, at the Opera House, this evening. But this will be only one of the many interesting and attractive features of the evening's entertainment.
TIIE Hon. R. W. Thompson will address a Woman's Suffrage mass meeting, at the Opera House, on the evening of the 6th of February. The supporters aud opponents of the enfranchisement of woman are alike cordially invited to attend, the former for their encourage^ ment and the latter for information.
M. FKLSKNHEI.D &CO., a dry goods firm in Quincy, 111., are arranging to open an pxtonsive house in this city. They have .somo prospect of locating in two rooms of Mr. Rose's now Main street block.—Express.
Though we have some splendid establishments in that line of business already, we presume that there is room for more.
N. M. MCDOWELL has resigned the position of Chief Engineer of the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railroad,to accept a similar position on the Indianapolis, Cincinnati & LaFayette Railroad. This change will take Mr. McDowell from Terre Haute, where he is so well liked by all who know him. He will bear hence the good wishes of a large circle of Triendsj who will not soon forget his ge»Ial, g^pLtleinanly bearing while here*

Editors Evening Gazette I have noticed several articles .in the city papers of late, touching the subject of granting aid to the manufacturing in terestsofour our town and certainly no citizen of Terre Haute can be insensible to the fact, that we should do all in our power to promote that interest. Still there is room for great1 differences of opinion as to the best .mode in which such aid can be afforded. It is acknowledged that the Council have

ity at present to borrow money to be loaned out to parties who may be inclined to establish certaiu branches of manufactures in our place but it is proposed that we petition the Legislature tor that power. The question is, would it be'wise for this grant to be made, and if given, would it be prudent for a City Council to exercise it? I am clearly of the opinion that negative answers should be giv*n to both tbesequestions. The Council has already power to incur debts for so many purposes,, that that the great danger is, not that too great parsimony will be exhibited, but that the people may be overwhelmed with taxation.
Nor do I think the temporary advantage of a moderate loan of money, at a legal rate of interest, would be sufficient inducement to solid men who understand what they are about, to settle ia Terre Kautein preference to some other place. There are other considerations that far outweigh the mere question of interest on a small portion of the capita] invested.. The great point to be determined is, whether TeTre Haute possesses decided advantages over other places. Are the facilities here such that, with judicious, prudent management, the bus iness proposed can be macfe a, success? If money cannot be made here, thereis no use in tempting adventurers to expend our capital in visionary sehemeF. The real permanent prosperity e# Terre is not to be assured in that way. is-of vastly more importance that we provide
wan
such facilities. In order to insure-
success in manufacturing we want cheap fuel, and ample means of transportation' in every direction to and from our town,{
by which goods can be cheaply distributed, and the raw material delivered at the shops and in the completion and perfection of all these schemes there will be use for all the means that our people can spare, whether it is drawn from them by taxation or voluntary subscription. "Before we undertake anything more, let us complete what is already begun, and make up our accounts and- see how we stand. Within the present year we have an extraordinary railroad! tax of seventy-five thousand dollars to pay, and alike sum next year. Besides this, we have the interest to pay on two hundred thousand dollars of bonds, issued to two other railroads, together with our liabilities to the Water Works Company, all in addition to the heavy current expenses of the city proper. Under the circumstances. it seems to me, every dictate of prudence demand?, that we should not at this timie undertake anything more.

Special Providence.
An over-hanging cliff of snow, from the Sixth streetsideof Beaches Block, was the focus for optical observation, yesterday afternoon. A group of msn stood in front of the Postoffice, waiting and watching to see the awful avalanche descend on the Head of Terre Haaite's Tammany. That dignatary, however,, had no idea, or cared naught, for the impending damages, and with feis hands in his pocket placidly paced up* and down the slippery sidewalk. When interrogated if he was not afraid of having his cranium crushed, he coolly answered that a special Providence ever guards the great and good
THE Indianapolis papers are industriously circulating the report that the "employees of the Terre Haute, Danville & Chicago Railroad have ceased to work on account of a strike, superinduced by poor pay. The report applies to the Chicago & Danville division of the Chicago, Danville & Vinceunes line. The T. H. .& D. division of the line, under the management of President Collett, has had no financial difficulties of this character. On the contrary, everything works smoothly, so far as we cart learnr none but the most pleasant bu^ine.® relations existing between employer and employees.
OUR most enterprising and publie spirited citizens seem inclined to differ very materially as to how the manufacturing interest of the city can best be advanced. The GAZETTE takes pleasure in giving all parties an impartial hearing in the promises. Certa'nly it is a subject demanding the attention and serious consideration of all our citizens who are interested in the city's prosperity. Therefore, let us have a full and fair discussion of the best ways and means to advance that interest.
THE following real estate transfers have been recorded since our last report: Wm. E. McLean to Smock, lot in McLean's & Rankin's Sfffcdivision for $300
Deloss W. Minshall same, lot in city for $10,000. 1 Robert A. Gilcreas to Samuel„M. Crandall, 22 acres in Honey Creek*township for $2,000.

Moses G. Howke to James H. Stewart, lot in Burnam's subdivision for §600.
As AN interesting item of news to those of our citizens who use lard for shortening pie-crust and biscuit, and for other culinary purposes, we will state that the fawcet was left out of a Columbus rendering tank and eleven tierces of the contents flowed freely out into, and almost across, the slaughtering pen, was shoveled up apd stored away fo? the general trade.

Reynard Reads
The circular fox hunts of the 11th rind 18th insfc. did not prove very sucessful. At the first, the ring closed in on one little fox which seemed to treat it all as ajokeandwas not persuaded that his pursuers were in earnest until the "dorgs" had "chawed" him too badly to retrace his steps. On last Saturday, none were taken in. No doubt the foxes had read the posters and acted accordingly, which suggests the propriety of printing them in German, or some other language not readable by Reynard.
