THE GAZETTE was in error in stating Saturday that Lse Bro3 seeds both iu Dulk and packages will be sold to dealers on commission.
THANKS to fortune, the Texas fever has at, last aboui died out and people are coming to the conclusion that the best place after all is which to live is right here in Vigo county.
AT the last meeting of the Board of Trustees of the State Normal School a bill of $0,130 was allowed for the completion of the third story of the building and for the construction of two out houses.
J. W. MILLERS artesian bath houses were well patronized yesterday. The cool baths of so many of the colored people tn the rear, gave other people a desire to take something similar and warmer.
THE GAZETTE reiterates its previous statement that whi.e it will by no means sustain every candidate who does insert his announcement notice in this paper, it swears by the snout of the holy hippopotamus, it will support no one who does not.
THE teachers at the Normal school cost the State 31,402 50 each month. An item published in the GAZETTE of Saturday lasi, showed the city teachers to cost about $4,300. This sum in the neighborhood of $G,000 per month is the best invested moil' ey the State ever spent.
THE GAZETTE has nearly forty agents in all the neighboring towns, all of whom are especially instructed to send us special telegrams of any thing important, and some of whom are regular correspondents. In to-day's issue a special telegram from Clinton, and correspondence from Brazil and Marshall may be seen.
I'raying for License.
There are twenty four barber shops iutovvn. A numuer of the leading ones of these are much in favor of the ciiy imposing a tax of forty dollars a year on them. They think that this is only just and fair as barber shops sell bay rum towels &c., &c. They hope through it to close some of the smaller shops whose presence is making business so dull with them.
Why not have Horses.
Inasmuch as the Knights of Pythias have studiouslyreought out every thing first class in connection with their grand parade and ball, to come off to-morrow, it is suggested by the GAZETTE that they ride white horse9 at the parade, This, in connection with their superb uniform and helmets, would make a most dazzling display, fnliy worthy of the days of Brian de Bois Guiibert and Front de Boeuf,

THE LAST OF THE TEXAS EXCURSIONISTS TURNK HIS BtCE OH THE LONtf
WTXS. STATE.
What Vnii Coofcer.'T THis £a of :i'xas.
ISmsie AffKiw.
At an early hour this p®! came noised abroad on VV +-rom that Will Cookerly had returned lrom Texas Will is a very popular young
among the denizens, ol court row, and It was not long belore Col. Look erlevs office was crowded with old friends who had coiue to grasp the
hand
of the wanderer and bid him welcome home. Will sat upon the judicial table with his legs swinging contentidly backward and forward,and iu his airy, nonchalent, good natured manner gave each enquiring friend an account of his adventures. A trio of torlorn looking boot blacks who were former proteges of Will's came bouncing into the oflise to welcome their old friend and champion. ~^e Gay GAZETTEER was among the many who listened to William's account of his adventures and his description of the country. "Weil Will, how do you like texas?" asked Ye Gay GAZETTEER.
Oh Texas is a bully place finest country I ever saw finest in the world but she is awful crowded vou never saw a place so crowded in your life. It's a bad place lor a working man to go just now. They pay poor wages, and you have to pay abouS two prices for beard, can't yet decent board for loss than seveu dollars a week. If an advertisement was to appear in one of the Dallas papers for a man to do general work, there'd be a thousand men after that job within fiteen minutes after the paper was published. The farmers raise nothing but cotton and wheat, all other produce is brought from the north. Dallas seems full of life all the time. The town is full of gamblers. In fact, every body gambles." "Was there much lawlessness among the people of the region you visitnd?" "Ob, somebody gets killed nearly every day. There are two men now in jail in Da-las, who are to be hung in a very short time. One of them is a white man, and the other a nigger. The white man is to be hung for killing a nigger, snd the nigger is to be hung for a rape on a -white woman. They always hang a nigger for that kind of crime in Texa*, but they seldom hang a white man for killing a nigger. If they hang this fellow, ho will be the first white man wbo was ever hung in that State for sueh a crime. But this poor devil was what they call an "ornery" kind of a man a great deal moro •/ornery" than the nigger he killed, and that is the reason, I suppose, that they intend to hang him." "'How about tho newspapers of Dallas?" "Well, there are two dalies, which seem to be doing pretty well, though they don't publish muoh matter, and don't furnish much employment for printers. When I first arrived in the town, there was a Sunday paper, on which I got a situation, but had only worked one day when the old thing busted wide open." "Did you explore tho Indian nation?" "Not much. I don't want anything to do with that gang. There's more cut-throats and highway robbers in that Indian nation, than there is in all the States and Territories, lhey have toll gates all along the roads through the Territory, and if a man should slip through one of them without paying his toll, they'd follow a him a thousand miles. I heard of one case where a gang of them followed a man a hundred and fiity miles with shot guns, to collect twenty cents which the man had forgotten or refused topay." "Then you wou^ln't advise young men in search of employment to go to Texas?" "No, not until they got thinned ont a little down there. "There never will be much chance for common laborers. The niggers work for almost notbiug. Their "wages would fall far short of paying a white man's board. They work so cheap that a white man can't compete with them in the pvice of la bor, and consequently cau't get anything to do which can bo dono by a nigger." "Are there many wealthy people in Dallas?" "Well, not many that is not very wealthy people. A good many cotton dealers are growing rich, but the town is new, and the people havn't had time togrow rich." "How is the climate there?" "Splendid. Couldn't bo better. This is the coldest day I have seen this wintor"
During this convsrsation he was constantly shaking hands with bis nomererous friends, who were all glad to see him at home again. Every one had many questions to ask concerning his journey and his experiences. "Hello, Bill, glad to soe you home again "I'm glad to get home. I toll you-" "•How have you been?" "Been purty well, just got over tho mumps." "How long have you been gone?" "About four months. "You must have been, homesick. How did yon feel when yon got withia fifteen miles of Torre Haute." "Felt sleepy"
The party was broken up by tne en trance of a brother typo who took Will by the arm and led him away to one of the printing offices to see the boys. When the McMurtrie party, forty in number from Terre Haute, started for Texas, Will Cookerly friends propbecied that he would be the first to return. But tbey. guessed wide of mark that time. Ot all the party, Will was the very last to give up and return to civilization.
SABBOW ESCAPE,
A Terre nantean in the Pan Handle Accident. H. L. Mossier returned last night from Cincinnati, bringing with him 200 helmets for the use of the Knights of Pythias in their grand displav to-morrow. While on his way he was in that terrible accident en the Pan Handle route mentioned in the telegraphic columns of this paper as having resulted fatally to the proprietor of the Sherman House, Chicago, and bis son. A few seconds before the train went over the grade he thought there was something the matter by the queer and violent shaking of the cars" and spoke to' the conductor about it.
They proceeded gether out onto the platform when the conductor, seeing what was up, said "jump and plunged himself ©OT INTO THE DARKNESS.
Mr. Mopsler did not question the advice or command, but instantly followed suit and jumped, he knew not where, while the train was in rapid motion. He rolled down a grade and struck a log, the collision with which injured his hip somewhat. As soon as he recovered iiimself he saw that by lucky chance he bad jumped on the wright side, whereas, if be had sprung oft" on the
other
wore
side—-the on© on which
the train was ditched—-bo would cer-
split up as flap as kindling wood.

'i'h'i Coronst jury Dccitlo That Came to Her Death From Mis Effects of an Overdose of Morphine.
She
Belle Berry, a prostitute, who has been well known in the city for some timo under the assumed UBine of Minnie Crawford, died very suddenly this morning at the house of Cord Lee, on tbecorner of Second and Oak street. It was rumored on the street this morning that tho woman had poisoned herself with morphine which she had purchased at the city drug store on tho corner of Third and Walnut streets. Inquiry, however, developed the fact that she had purchased nothing but a bottle of spirits of camphor at the dri^g store. From the evidence of tho inmates of the house we gather the following facts.
At abcut two o'clock yesterday the deceased was sitting by the stove in the sitting room when she began to complain of headache and pains in her back. She retired to her room and was unable to come down to dinner.
Mattie Keller, one of the inmates of the house, is addicted to the use of morphine and always carries a bottle, of it in hor pocket. About nine o'clock last evening the deceased asked Mattie for a small portion of the morphine, as she was feeling very badly and wished to sleep. The bottle was handed to her, and inoistoning the end of her finger, sho took as much of the drug as wonld adhere to it. The woman illustrated this by moistening her finger and placed it in the bottle and showed the jury how much would adhere to it, aud then-by way of illustrating the difference between f.ucn a small quantity and what she considered a dose, she'poured out of the bottle abaut ten grains of tho drug, explaining that that represented the amount she herself took shortly afterward. The bottle was left in the room with the sick woman aluight, and it is the theory of the physi cian that, during the night she took second dose. Not enough was take from the bottle to be misssed but, to person unaccustomed to tho use of th deadly drug, a small dose would be sufficient to causd death.
Cora testified that Be4!e was a very dissipated woman, and was some times given to fits of despondency, as women of her class generally are. At such times she would express a wish to die.
At about 9 o'clock this morning the woman appeared to be dying, and Dr. Peyton was hastily summoned. Ho arrived to late to bo of any service to tho unfortunate creature. She died few moments alk his arrival, at about ten o'clock.
The Coroner's jury, after listening to all the evidence, decided that the deceased came to her death from the effects of an overdose of morphine, and rendered a verdict accordingly.

Terrific Storm Strikes Prince ton oti tlia
E. & (J. Road
Blowing Down Thirty Houses.
Thousands of Dollars of Damage 2oiie.
Sreclal Correspondence Gazette. Last nigbt about 8 o'clock a terrible wind storm struck Princeton, a little city of some notority, eighty miles south of tho E. A C. Road. Tne following from a Princetoni*n gives some account of it. A most terrific storm passep over the outh part of our town last night. Some people are entirely ruined. The United Presbyrterian church, Rev. McMasters in charge, had its roof blown over the street, George N. Je(auld's brick front was blown away. Cumberland Presbyterian church steeple was blown down. The newCovinenter.Rev. Blair pastor, was destroyed. Mrs. Dorsey, the post mistress, had her house levelled to the ground and she was ber Relf injured. The roofs of the school building was blown in and the sessions will stop. Mrs. Donald's brick was damaged to the extent of $5,000. Several families are houseless and homeless. It was the greatest destruction of property ever known in this section of the country. It is reported that two persons, Mr. Clark, and Mr. James Taylor, are seriously, if not dangerously injured. The storm came from the West, and went Esst. A report from the West, near a Mare creed is to the effect that the stor was terriffic bams, houses, churches and school houses were torn down. The house of John Baxter, the section boss on the E. & C., was blown down and afterwards took fire and was entirely consumed. President Martin, of the E. ft C., came up this morning and got off at Princeton, and will-have it re-built. Mr. Wherry, agent of the E. & C. at Princeton, had all of his outhouses destroyed, but, strange to say, in this
MAD FREAK OF NATURE,
his dwelling was unhurt. Two of his horses in the barn were blown a distance of one square, and one into a oel lar and the other near the cellar, and wonderful to relate, neither were injured. At least thirty buildings have been destroyed. The train men rendered great assist ance to the suffering and injured people. One church, the only one in the town, that was not occupien was entirely blown down. But for the fact that most of the peoele were in church, which were strong buildings, many migat have been injured.
