THE bridge over Honey creek on the Lockport road being down, causes great inconvenience to the citizens of that locality.

THE regular meeting of the City Coutoil will be postponed until Friday evening next, as many of the Councilmen wish to attend the Democratic convention at Indianapolis.

THE next thing expected in v/ay of attempted suicide is i'orsomo man to put his head in a burning stove and hold It there. The most awkward ways seem to ba in vogue now.

IN the report of the visit of Ye Gay GAZETTEER to the establishment of S. W. McDonald, published in the Saturday evening GAZETTE, a mistake WAS made in stating the age and record of Lady Guilford. Her ago is 14, and her record 2:26.

THE GAZETTE defers giving the usual biographies of the nominees of the Republican party for councilmen, on Saturday night, until a short time previous to the election, when both sets of candidates will be reviewed and compared. 1'

TOM GRACE,

He Attempts to Commit Gui-

Tom Grace has been on a grand spree for the past four weeks, during which period he has been involved in numerous difficulties which have been chronicled in the nevfs papers of the city. On Saturday evening last he was locked up in the station house on accoiint of various peculiar action?, indicating the approach of that dreadful inalmalady, the delirium tremens. At 8 o'clock yesterday morning he was released, apparently in sound mind. When he left the station house he told the officers that he was going to a barber shop but instead of doing so, he went directly to the union depot. A freight train on the andalia road was just pulling out of the yard and Tom, bent on self destruc­

tion,'threw

two*

more pages—it was a twelve page paper.—Mail. We stand corrected.

R. S. BLACKLEDCIE, editor and proprietor of the Clinton Exponent, was in the city yesterday and to-day. As reported at the time, Mr. B. was nominated on the 8th inst. as the Republican candidate for the Legislature* Mr. B. is well and favorabJv known throughout western Indiana as a young man of integrity and ability. The Republicans have made a wise choice in their selection of him as their standard bearer.

Mail states that ground for

the location of the works has been secured and bids received for the con struction of the iiecessa.iy buildings, retorts, holders, etc. A formal proposition has been mdde to ie city council by Messrs. Beach and Hubbard for a charter and a contract They are williug to pledge themselves to furnish the very best qnality of gas at a reasonable price and that the price shall never under any cireumstances be higher than §2.50 per thousand feet. The progosition has not yet been acted upon by the council.

MAN AGEIC Ainsworth, to whom is due the credit of the excursion to Philadelphia of the Indiana teachers an account of which appears elsewhere, will allow any teacher to take a friend, at the same terms, provided the said friend is of good moral character and don't drink. There aie lust a half dozen young men in the GAZETTE office, Ye Gay GAZETTEER him^Mf included, who are "of good moral character aud don't drink." Wnnt some of the teachers select us for "friends?" Now don't all spSMk at

himself in front of the

locomotive with his head on the rail. Some bystanders rescued him from bis perilous position, but this did not shake his insane resolve to put an end to his own life. He passed on toward the shors, and, finding a sledge hammer' lying on the ground, he laid his head on the iron rail o'f one of the numerous side tracks, and proceeded to batter his brains out with the hammer. He had inflicted on himself several ugly blows before the bystanders took the hammer from his hands. At first it was thought that his skull was badly fractured, aud that he could not live more than an hour. He was carried to tbo house of an acquaintace in the north eastern portion of the city, where he was attended to by Dr. Armstrong, The doctor at first expressed the opinion that the patient could not survive for more than a few hours, but as the hours passed on he seemed to revive and at*about nine o'clock last even' inghe ate a very hearty supper.

This morning he partook of a light breakfast, and appeared to bo doing well. He was removed to the residence of his mother, on Ninth St. at about eleven o'clock. Dr. Armstrong who is attending the unfortunate man, says that his injuries are not necessarily fatal, and if the patient were a man in the posession of good health and a sound constitution he would have no fear of the result But in his present condition, the result in Tom's case is extremely doubtful. The outer table of the scull i3 fractured and the inner table cracked, but there is no compression of the brain.

THAT EXCURSION.

The Indiana Teachers Hare the Best Thing Oafc.

All the arrangements for the teacher's excursion to Philadelphia are now complete. The good thing about it is that, as complete, everything formerly said that was agreo.Wo, »»""=, to he true ana that there are some other advantages as yet unmentioned.

The first excursion will start from here on the 27th of June. Indianapolis will bo the rendesvoua and starting point.. The party will thon proceod on the I., C. fc L. road to Cincinnati. Thov will hero tako a steamer to Huntington whero they .will again take the cars and proceed to Richmond, Ya, From Richmond, which will be a scene of a groat deal of interest to the descendants of "old Virginny fust families," of whom there are not a few scattered through the State, the party will proceed i-to Annapolis, tbo city of .navies, thence to Baltimore, the monumental city and thence to Philadelphia, the city of churches. In addition to this excellent route, which, varied as it is by river and rail, travel will be exceedingly pleasant, there are a number of other advantages presented gratuitously to these teachers.

The tickets are good for sixty days. They are transferable. They cost but $12.00 for the round trip including ten days board, or §32 with five days board of two meals each day.

The bolder of one of them can stop over at any and all stations on the route.

The excursionists need not stay gether. Any teaeH%r can take a friend on the same terms, provided he or she—the friend, wo mean, for of course so much gooduess as that could not be expected from the teachers—does not drink, and is of a good moral character,

In addition to all this one or two other excursions will be run later in the season at the same terms.

Manager Ainsworth, the best man in the world to get up a cheap excursion and a nice one too, deserves all the credii, for what has been accomplished thus far.

THE class of public school teachers which meets twice a week in the high school has now. taken up the subject of history. The aborigines were rolled over the coals at the last meeting, and "Spanish Discoveries" will come in for a turn at the next. These meetings are full of interest. The teachers attending are all careful students, fully aware that there is no royal road to sGience and as fully cognizant of the fact that to a teacher —to anybody, in fact—the only time when study can be ceased ia when the coffin lid is screwed down upon the lifeless corpse.

A Buffalo, an antelope, two jackass rabbits and a prairie dog—all from Kansas—prodnced a most prodigious excitement among local reporters Wednesday, Columns of the most gorgeous descriptive literature has

been

printed about them. One cannot but shudder tolthink what effect upon the reportorial brain a whole menagerie might have now.—[Mail.

The mail man is getting cynical. Five days]of anxious bottling of that jackass raibbit item in nis breast before his paper came out and he could publish it, have made him so. Won't be give us his experience in twisting the buffalo's tail?

Special Correspondence to the Gazette

Greencastle, April 16.

The Republican township convent-^ ion met last night and was largely* attended. Mayor Brown presided.. The following members wete chosen for the central committee—for the 1st Ward Robert M. Black, 2nd, Milton Cooper and Sherby, 3rd, Thomas Aannah, for the township at large, S S. Lockridge and W. W.Dunnington

On motion of Alderman Daggy, the Republican delegates to the Cun§r©cSion»i worfl in* structed to vote for Dalauey JM. V/IL liamson for Congress. The motion was received and carried with great enthusiasm, being only opposed by the speeches uiid the votes of G. G. Laugsdale, Thomas Hannah Marshal and Granville Moore. Mr. William son being, called upon, made a sbor speech, thanking the convention.

At 2oc'ock this afternoon, an alarm of fire was sounded which was immediatly responded too by the fire department. The causa of the alarm was the burning of the Presbyterian Church on Jackson street. Before the engineer reached the scene of the conflagration the building was wrapped in flames. The firemen done a noble work in fighting the fierce flames, but it was impossible to save the building as the flames had gained such a headway. But they succeeded in keeping the fierce flames from destroying the whole of the north square. The loss is estimated at between $10,000 and $12,000. The building was insured for $3,500. Thi? is «he fifth fire that has visited Greencastle during the past week. JSTone of them, excepting the one on Seminary street, Wedueeday evening, amounted to much of anything. The house burned on Wednesday eveniDg, be longed to Mr. Hedges. The loss by fire was about $3,000, fully covered by insurance. J. W. C.

Ed*Ward Campbell Understands Terre Haute Musli. On Saturday last, Edward Campbell a ycung man from Decatur, 111., was at Gist's, West Main street "bus" stables As the omnibus came out oi the stable, he jumped on top with the driver. The roof of the buss, it so hap pens misses the top of the opening the entrance by about two feet. drivers in passing under always lay back Campbell did not understand this, and so stooped forward, and doing so, the top rafter caught him over the shoulders and doub led him up, squeezing and wrenching him terribly. Dr. Ste vonson was called and the man remov ed to the Terre Hauta House, here he is being cared for. Miraculous as may seem, no bones were broken.

A LIVELY FIGHT.

Cne Man's Leg Broken.

The saloon formerly owned by Dave Phillips,on the corner of Ninth and Main, now run by a man named John Leedham, was the scene of a fierce battle last night. Four or five men engaged in the struggle. One of the combatants, named Murphy, had his right leg broken. Dr. Read repaired it. Peter Murray, John McClellan and Bate Newman were arrested for the crime. Chas. France was implicated. The arrests were made by officers Giuson, Hogan_and Ross.—[Express. Zi

THE city editor of the GAZETTE knows how it is himself. He muses "In the spring, a young man's fancy lightiy turns to thoughts of love," and then seizes a fresh sheet of paper and raise9 Hellfenstottenmixer with the Street Commissioner for not cleaning the dead .cats out of that alley. Such is life ou an afternoon paper!—[Mail.

But that's nothing to writing for a weekly paper where, before a man can "work up" a wedding with the "orange blossoms" heads, a divorce has been granted, and the whole thing's over. It is so terrible to wait this way that the funny man of the Mail is said to be reading Jeremiah Taylor's "Saiut's Rest" to calm his perturbed breast and outraged feelings. He is said to be gradually growing milder.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
