SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8,1873.
City and Neighborhood.
MR. J. GRAFF has this day taken charge of the GAEETTE routes. He is authorized to solicit subscribers and collect subscriptions. No one else is so authorized. Subscribers will oblige us by reporting irregularities in the receipt of papers. BALL & DICKERSON.
SECOND appearance of the Cal Wagner Minstrels at the Opera House this evening.
THE Wagner minstrel band manufactured some thrilling music on our streets to-day.
THE town of Clin toD, through Representative Groendike, asks the Legislature to amend the charter and make it a city.
MR. D. B. DUBOIS, representing the great Wine of Tar Manufacturing Company, of Dayton, Ohio', was in the city last evening.
A BROTHER of General M. C. Hunter, member of Congress from this district, is agent of the C. & T. H. R. R. at the great city of Middlebury.
THE Lee Brothers are making a consignment of cabbage to Nashville, Tennessee. The first shipment of that character made from this city so far south.
MR. W. H. BANNISTER, the merchant tailor, has been very ill for more than a week, the result of a felon on the hand. He suffered severely fever of nearly all the time.
THE GAZETTE has it on good authority that Messrs. Vrydagh & Co. are preparing new plans and specifications for the proposed Vigo Court House. Can this thing be?
IT is more than likely that the firm of Gapen & Co. are excessively jolly about this time. Warrants were drawn on the Treasury, yesterday, in favor of this firm, as holders of Wabash & Erie Canal bonds. Terre Haute sports a member of the firm.
MR. FRANK MCEVOY'S Hibernicon will open at Dowling Hall Tuesday evening, instead of at St. Joseph's Church, as the GAZETTE incorrectly stated yesterday. The first performance will be a benefit for ^a society of that church. It is a beautiful spectacle.
PREACHING at Asbury Church, corner of Fourth and Poplar streets, to-morrow at half-past tea o'clock, A. M., by the pastor, James Hill. The service at 7 P. M. will be devoted to singing praises to God, with short addresses. The choir will conduct the singing. The public are invited.
MR. GEPKFE W. CUMMINGS, editor and also one of the proprietors of the St. Louis Railway Guide, is iu the city, and his cheerful and familiar face will be on exhibition at many a familiar fireside to-morrow. He will return by way of Chicago to-morrow night.
THE Cal. Wagner Minstrels were the attraction at the Opera House last evening. They were greeted with a fine large audience and gave a very laughable entertainment, which was duly appreciated. They will make their second and last appearance at the Opera* House this evening.
As APPEARS from a card in another column, the Fosters are not overwhelmingly intimidated by the presentation of Mr. Hughes' claim of $50,000. The GAZETTE predicts that if a trie bill is rendered, the Foster Brothers will pay it, for they never send an approved bill away they always pay on presentation.
Locomotive Engineers' Ball. As "coming events cast their shadows before," so does a neat programme from Mr. McCutcheon, a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers of Terre Haute. The fifth annual ball of this Brotherhood will occur at Dowling Hall, Thursday evening, February 20th. The supper will be served at the National Hotel. The following are the committees
Committee of Arrangements.—W. Sherburne, J. McKeever, O. Reynolds, J. Wapner.
Introductory Committee.—A. C. Cady, A. Lyon, F. Bugh, Thos. Mooney. Floor Committee.—A.J. Sherburne, N. Podson, J. B. Huestis, Wra. F. Morgan, Wm. L. Walker, W. D. Yancleve.
Honorary Committee.—C. Wilson, C. Fellows, Cleveland, O. J. E. Simpson, W. II. Finkbine, Indianapolis L. Pearson, J. J. Hays, Jag. Ferry, A. C. Ancona, Evansville Jos. Collett, Jr., Newport O. F. Miller, Effingham, IP. Geo. Brownell, East St. Louis M. P. Dougherty, Mayor Thomas, N. R. Jones, C. R. Peddle, Jacob H. Hager, Geo. S. Nelson, Matt. P. Wood, Terre Haute.
The tickets will cost $4, supper included. The ball will most likely be the best the season, and the $4 will be a good itfvestment for those who want to have a good time.
From the Chicago Times.
Edwin Adams' Enoch Arden. The greeting that Edwin Adams received on such a stormy night as last evening was a grateful and well deserved tribute of admiration for a superb actor, and the pathetic and beautiful play with which he has become so intimately associated. The poem of Euoch Ardea, though simple in its construction and limited in the number of its personages,con tains grand dramatic effects that have been skillfully utilized by Miss Marguerites the playwright. The language of the original has been carefully retained in most respects, and the general completion of the Tenuysonian story followed. There are few modern dramas with so few elements of improbability, so careful a preservation of the unities, such true and tender strokes of pathos, and so ar tistic a development and working up of the climax. Yet the denouement, though intensely sympathetic in its tax on the sorrows of the audience, is so tenderly relieved that the prevalent feeling left is one of a gentle melancholy, which is rather pleasing than otherwise. So much for the drama itself and even this need not have been said, for almost every one is familiar with the outline of the story whether from the original poem, or from seeing Mr. Adams in the title roll of the play in which he has fre quently before made his bow to Chicago audiences.
A Good Record.
It is with great pleasure that the officers of the First Presbyterian Church,' of this city, announce to the public that,through the liberality of members of the congregatation and outside friends, they have been enabled ta cancel all liabilities against the society. And they take this means of returning hearty thanks to all who have contributed to this object, The church now stands free of debt, and is in a healthful and prosperous condition.
With a large and attractive house of worship, in a good location a neat and comfortable parsonage a united and harmonious congregation a flourishing Sunday school a growing missionary spirit, and a minister generally acceptable, this church must inevitably become
ra
power for good in this community. Old residents in this city, having no home in any other, are invited to come and see us. Strangers are always welcome.
LIBEL suits are quite plentiful in Terre Haute. Two pending against the GAZETTE newspaper, under former management, wherein $10,000 are demanded in each case one of E. J. Hughes, against Foster Brothers, where plaintiff modestly asks for $50,000, and another one or more in prospect, Wherein Mrs. Willard, the Woman in Black, will appear as defendant, and Messrs. Hook and Pence as defendants. The Hughes-Foster case growing o.ut of a publication in the Rockville Patriot, and the last mentioned case growing out of a publication iu the Philosophical Jowrnal, of Chicago.
THE following are the transfers of real estate since last report: Napoleon B. Modisett to Parker Milligan, lot in Jewett's subdivision for $600.
Joshua M. Hull, Sheriff, to Sarrh C. Camper, et. al., 4 acres in Otter Creek township for $134.92.
Lmiisa J. Platner to Harve C. Carr, lot in Mack fe Grimes' subdivision for $450. Robert Buckell to Charles Long, lot in Grover's subdivision for $375.
Hulman & Cox to Jas. M. Coord, lot in Sand ford for $200. John C. Jones to Wm. R. Barbee, lot in Youngstown for §35.
WE know of a man who has not ventured upon the streets, to-day, simply because of an injudicious hat trade unconsciously made by the party of the second part. The party of the first part, not having ahead as large as the party of the second part, he resembles a perambulating bee hive of the gum stump" style. Hence his studious avoidance of a public promenade. For further particulars see "Personal," first column, first page.
ABOUT half of the Legislative Committee on Education remained in the city until this morning. During the afternoon
and.
evening they were escorted
about the city and she wn some of the resources thereof. They were taken down to the river banks to view the placid waters of that pelucid and unassuming stream. They also sampled the perfumed waters of the artesian well.

GEORGE MCROBINS and George McMahan could not agree on some trival question, which they argued in Davis' barber shop, last evening. The former, with his little club, convinced the latter that he had a bad case of acute sick headache.
A Case of Magnificent Proportions. We hear a delightful rumor. From near and from far, there is wafted to our tickled ears intelligence of a suit for libel. None of your little trivial suits either, where the damage done is estimated at. only a paltry five thousand dollars or so. Ours is no such insignificant case as that which would not lift us above the common horde of offenders. It is a case of magnificent proportions, worthy of our highest ambition. Great consideration has been paid to our feelings in placing the sum demanded of us at the attractive figure of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. Really we had hoped that the well-known modesty of the plaintiff would not prevent him from claiming an even hundred thousand. Still we hardly ought to complain. He has probably estimated himself at his full value.
For the information of the public we will say the plaintiff is one E. J. Hughes, a former merchant of Rockville, who came into our employ last fall, and because we did not place the same estimate on his abilities that he did, and so did not give him the position which he desired, and because we refused to compel our clerks to knuckle to him when we thought he, and not they, were to blame, left our service and went ck to Rockville and commenced to slander and libel us in the most outrageous manner. Understanding that he was not pecuniarily responsible for the injury he was seeking to do us we wrote him several letters in the endeavor to avoid any controversy with him. It was only when he staged his intention to persevsre in his misrepresentations of our house that, in selfdefence, we published the article, now to be found in the Rockville Patriot, iu which we distinctly asserted that he was guilty of downright and unprovoked falsehood, which we proved out of his own mouth, and by the evidence of every man in our employ. We then challenged him to bring a suit for libel, that we might have the privilege of establishing every charge we had made, in open court. He proposes, it is said, to bring such a suit, but we predict that we will comb a white head on our own shoulders before he dares to bring his case to trial. If black-mail is intend ed, and he expects to get something by a compromise, we will say that we wouldn't take an old-fashioned copper cent that had worn holes into every pocket we had and chop that into four pieces and give him even the smallest piece of the four, if thereby he could be prevailed upon to withdraw his fifty thousand dollar claim.
