On Sunday morning last, Jonas'

than Young, Esq., of Paris, Illinois, died from the effects of injuries received by falling from his horse. Mr. Young had attained the ripe old age of seventy-six years. Ho had been a resident of Edgar county since 1829 and was well known by all the older inhabitants of our city. In the community where he dwelt so long ho had established an unblemished char, acter, and is mourned universally. He was a prominent member and officer of the Presbyterian Church an exemplary Mason, an I a corteous and public spirited gentleman. He loft Cincinnati in 1829, with a large family and in straightened circumstances, to seek a home in Illinois, and by his industry and probity succeeded in accumulating a respectable fortuneHis funeral occurred on Monday and was largely attended by his fellow citizens and by his Masonic brethren, who buried Him with the solemn and affeoting rite of the Order.

REMABKABLE PHENOMENON. This evening an event will occur which has been only twice recorded in the history of celestial phenomena-the planet Jupiter will appear without satellites because threo of them will be passing along that planet's disc, and the other will be concoaled in its shadow. This apparent absence of moons or statellites willlast a little more than two hours. Any of our young friends, who have studied astronomy, or even adult readers, who understand astronomical sciences, would do well to "lake a look'' at Jupiter to-night, at half past 10 o'clock, with any good magnifying glass, and behold what they will never livo to see again. Jupiter will appear (a largo, lustrous star,) in tho southeast, near tho horizon. Saturn (a large yollowish star), may bo seen, at the same time, occupying a similar position in tho southwest, noarly opposite Jupitor.

LEARNING A TRADE.—Give your child an education and a trado, and you have given him onough. Give him an over dose of the former to tho exclusion of tho latter, and nine cases out of ten, you put his foot in shoe3 whoso heels will bo kick ed off in tho gutters of poverty. The Philadelphia Ledger indulges in the following comments on tho evils resulting from tho too common practico of raising a boy simply as a clerk "All business is subjoct to fluctuations, which tho wisdom of men and of governments have been unable to control, aud when a commercial and financial depression occurs those who are first to suffer and among the most helpless victims, are the book keepers, clerks, copyists and offico attendants of every kind. At such limos tho workman in a number of mechanical trades can find ewploymeut on his own account Tho shoemaker can make shoes or mend them and the tailor can make garments or mend thom the painter and glafcier, the carpenter, the boll-hanger, tho blacksmith, tho plumber, and the gas-fit tor, and many others that will occur to the roader,can search for and find odd jobs that will give thom tho means of livin

But tho clerk, the book-keeper, aro help less. They cannot establish mercantile commercial, or manufacturing houses to give employment to thomselvcs. Thoy must wait for many a weary day, until the season or tho years of depression are ever, before they can find that employ ment for their pens, which they have un fortunately made their sole means of live lihood. All this is another lamentable results of having learned no trade in childhood."

BEYOND THE MISSISSIPPI.—We invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Albert D. Richardson's new book, of the above title, which is a truthful as well as interesting sketch of Life and Adventure on Prairies, Mountains and the Pacific Coast. With over two hundred descriptive and photographic views of the scenery, cities, land, mines, people and curiosities of the new States and Territories. 1857 to 1867. This work is purely Historical and descriptive in its character, and is not a political or war book.

It is comprised in one largo volume of over 500 pages, beautifully illustrated with more than 200 fine engravings, from original Photographs and sketches from the pencils of Bierstadt, Nast, Hennesy, Darloy, Fenn, Stephens, Forbes, and other eminent artists. "It is sold by subscription only, and presents a rare opportunity for agents'.

"CLKAK AS MUD."—The appended extract throws So muCh light on a hitherto mysterious subject, and one which but few over hope to understand, "while in tho flesh," that wo know every one will be deoply grateful to the paper which gives so much information for such little pay. The article appears in the Banner of Light,—a Spiritualistic organ—and reads this way "Colostial man takes on six onveloping clothings in his descendng sycle, his outcoming life,his incarcerations or, perhaps, better worded, he grows outwardly from himself, as a spirit into six degrees of expression, his seventh degree being himself, most internal, most deific in the special or analytic sense (which is the largost diviner) when making his upward cycle of movement for then he execrates his negative, his superficial and artificial characteristics, and makes himself more consciously immortal in wholeness—in the seven degrees of his trifold being, conscious of his past consciousness—a harmonic trinity in unity, and Lord of Lords. How wide the circular sweep—how vast, how mighty the destiny of humanity."

Wo loam that a woman is dyin

in this city who has refused to take any kind of nourishment for tho last ten daj-s, sayiDg she desires to die. It appears that an estrangement has taken placo between her husband and self, and that he has left her, vowing to apply for a divorce. He is a great spiritualist, and has been in tho habit of meeting kindred spirits at the house of a widow lady in this city, at which poriod it is told us the first difficulty occurred. The parties have lived toether as man and wife for over thirty yoars, and about a quarter of a century have residod in this city. Dame Rumor says the husband became infatuated with a clairvoyant doctress, and wont off with her, while his friends say this is a libel on his character, and we only give it as we hear it We havo known both parties for many years, and never thought anything would over occur to mar their happiness and wo have always looked upon the hufr band as a man of honor, and do not and cannot believe that he left with the doc trees, as is alleged.

The deserted wife was at the point of death last evening, and was not expected to survive throughout the night, but we learn that she is yet alive as we are writing this. Much scandal is made out of the meetings of the spiritualists in the west end of the city, which we trust is not true.

P. S. Since the above was put in type we learn that the woman has died.—Ft Waynt Democrat,

t&" Our readers will remember that a man named Gray was severely injured by the falling of a platform at the last Fourth of July celebration. He is still in crippled condition, and it may be a year before he is able to do any work by which to gain a livelihood. He has a wife and four children, with house rent to pay, and his means are entirely exhausted. He resides on Seventh Street, just south of the New School House, and we can assure our readers that in that house can be found worthy objects of charity.

SUMMEE EVEBAGE.—Here is a recipe for making ginger beer, a very wholesome and refreshing summer beverage Put two gallons of cold water into a pot upon the fire, add to it two ounces of good ginger, bruised, and two pounds of white or brown sugar. Let this come to a boil, and continue boiling for about half an hour. Then skim the liquor and pour it into a jar or tub along with one sliced lemon and half an ounce of cream of tartar. When nearly cold put in a teas poonful of yeast, to cause the liquor to work. Tho beer is now made, and after has worked for two days, strain it, and bottle it for use. Tie down the corks firmly.

CUCUMBERS.—Our lady readers will no doubt bo glad to learn that cucumbers are good for something besides slicing up in vinegar and laying on the stomach like a pound and a half of cold )ead. An ex* change tells us how to make {'cucumber toast," as follows: "Select your cucumbers—fresh, crisp, medium size—such as you would prefer if served up in the usual manner. Pare, or slice up lengthwise, in cuts a quarter of an inoh thick. Rinse in cold water, dip each slice singly in flour, and hurry them into the dripping pan, using for material to fry them in, tho gravy in which either beaf steak, veal cutlets er mutton cops were cooked or butter may be used but be sure to fry briskly until the slices are a light brown on both sides. Have your bread toasted, buttered or dipped, as you prefer, and -close at hand. Slip the slices of cucumbers hot from the pan between the slice of toast and serve at once. Any one following these directions imi plicitly will find cucumber toast really good to eat."

AN EDITORIAL ON BUTTERMILK.—The readers of the newspapers have doubtless learned that which is painfully apparent to the editor, as he performs his daily duties, that the present is "a terribly dull time for news," as well as for business.— One ®f our exchanges, the New York Gazette, has, it appears in sympathy with the dull seoson, soured," on such dry1 topics as politics, trades and kindred sub* ects, and wisely, we think, turned its editorial attention to the useful and interesting subject of "Buttermilk." In the absence of any more startling news, it brings to light or revives some valuable facts, which constitute good reading matter during the heated term. It says there' is a very large increase in the consumption of buttermilk throughout the Ooantry, and especially in New York. It states that in the avenue to the east and est of Broadway there are numerous milkshops— for the most part at corners— where tho produce of the churn is retailed rogularly at the counters as a beverage, at two cents a mug full. Many of these shops sell as much as a thousand quarts per day. Early of a morning many persons who have no faith in mineral wators, and to whom the matutinal cock tail is an abomination, may be soen the milk stores, quaffing the pleasant and salutary buttermilk out of great whito nutmegs. Numbers of women and children come with large tin cans and tako away quantities of it for family use. It is an exceedingly healthful drink, cooling to tho blood, while it acts at the same time as a mild aparient.

We published not long since, the opinion of a Kentucky physician that this wholesomo beverage properly patronizod, would prolong life fully one-third. But it appears our Kentucky buttermilk doctor was not the discoverer of this delightful fact. Oar cotemporary says that years ago a French philosopher set forth this curious theory. He averred that in buttermilk he had discovered the secret of renewing tho human constitution, and of ndefinitely prolonging human life. The interior arrangomonts of the human subject, as well as of animals, is general, according to this philosopher, who might have been a French Horace Greeley, bear a strong analogy to steam boilers, inasmuch as, in the course of time, they become incrustod, or coated, with pernicious matter. To remove this, nothing but acids would be efficacious and the only acid which would render this service and, at tho same time, exercise a beneficial influence on the health, is, as our savant tells us, that contained in buttermilk. The Gazette declines to investigate fully this theory, but it does not hesitate to express tho conviction that buttermilk would bo more conducive to longevity than gin cocktails.

This interesting fact is_ stated. A curious experiment has been tried with buttermilk by testing its modest qualities against the "regal purple stream" of claret. One who is in the secret will bet with one who isn't, that the latter, if blindfolded, cannot distinguish claret from buttermilk by the taste. Several glasses aro filled with claret, and an equal num ber with buttermilk, and they are handed alternately to the blindfolded person, who tastes them. For a few turns he will name the respective liquids correctly but after a while his sense of taste becomes confused, and he insists that buttermilk is claret, and vice versa. We never tried the experiment, and don't know that we shall. Those who are curious may. We don't believe in mixed liquors. But if there is the long sought "elixir of life" in this acidulous liquid, as claimed by the philosopher and the Kentucky doctor, wo are in favor ^of buttermilk.—Evantville Journal.

Green Pea Soup.—Put a quart shelled peas into a pint and a half of broth or stock, from which all fat has been.remoyed, and add several thin slices of ham for a small piece very lean bacon, four good goad sized onions, well,peeled and thinly sliced, four lettuces, well wash3d and finely shred, the crumby of two Frenoh rolls, ands bunch of pMsley and of mint let them simmer for an hour, and then pour in another -quart of broth, or if you have it not by you, a quart &t~ water in which you have previously boiled tho.ppa Bhells, and boil for anotBef hourr "Then boil two large handsftd Of^^dSilT^ gathered spinnach, squeeze it dry, and rub it, with the soup, through a sieve.

THE BANKRUTT LAW.—For the benefit of those whom it may concern, or may hereafter concern, we call attention to the fact that, by the provisions of this law, after the expiration of one year from July 1st, 1867, applicants for the benefit of the law will have to pay from their assets iifty per cent of their liabilities, and tBofefore when the assets are insufficient to pay so large a per cent, the benefit of tho law cannot be taken.

The funds thus secured by the sales of stock are deposited with Messrs. George A. Cook & Co., Bankers, No. 33 South Third street, Philadelphia, to be by them applied to the object in view. A charitable public institution thus receives the benefit,and not a private individual. Bead advertisement.

DISCOVERED ITS MERITS.—An exchange tells of a wealthy merchant who, becoming dissatisfied with his country residence, ordered an auctioneer to advertise it for sale. Some days afterward he read an advertisement in the papers of a residence which he thought would just 6uit him, and so he again called on the auctioneer, with directions to purchase. The auctioneer burst into a laugh and told him that was tho description of the house where he was then living. He read the advertisement over again, pondered oyar the "grassy slopes," "beautiful vistas," smooth lawns," etc., and broke out: "Is it possible! Well, auctioneer, make out my bill for advertising and expenses, for, by George! I wouldn't sell the place now for three times what it cost me!"

DIED.—At his residence in Sugar Creek township, on Wednesday, the 7th inst., at 7 o'clock, a. m., of the wounds received from the explosion or collapse of the boiler of the saw mill in that locality, on the 6th inst., Mr. JOHN J. BURKE, aged 43 years.

Mr. Burke was chosen Superintendent of the Sabbath School in that vicinity, and performed his duties with such success and interest that he won the affection and respeet of all who knew him. Lines in memory of Mr. J. J. written Attguit 12th, 186T. "WEEP NOT, TRIENDS, YOU'L MEET AGAIN."

True and faithful, to the end, How we loved that good, kind friend While be taught the children dear, Oft we aaw a friendly tear Alio, beaming in hia eye, Trath, and teal, and probity.

But there eame a day of woe, This good friend waa called to go Now hii form, in death must sleep, Her* he left hi* friend* to weep. Mother, yield no more, to grief Find in theie few line* relief.

"Jorai called me home to reft, It bleat. Weep not, frienda, bnt meet me there

Now I feel my aptrit bleat. ep not, frienda, Work for Jeana, ia my prayer Work for Him, fa my reqi^eat, Jtaaa calla me home, to reat.

Weep not, friend, bnt meet me there, In Ten land a» bright and fair Thna hia apirit seemed to aay, As it eweetiy passed away Glad to leave thia world of carp, Weep not, frienda, you'l meet him there.

Gaze yon not with fearful dread On the mortal bpdy, dead. Press the lips—so cold and dry, Which seem to Bay, 'tis sweet to die. Let him rest, ho's free from pain Weep not, friends, you'l meet again.

Yes, his pilgrimage was done, $ands of life were fully run Found the bright eternal clime Now he's done with fleeting time Borne by angels bright and fair, Woep not, friends, you'l meet him there.

Do not weep because thine own With his spirit hath not flown Trust in God—He'll call thee home When the appointed time has come. Be you firm—He'll hear your prayer, Weep not friends, yon'l meet him there.

He, Whose oye is over all Seen the smallest sparrow fall. Rales the shining worlds of space, Source of love, abounding grace, Crowned his soul, in realms fair, Weep not, friends, yon'l meat him there.

JUDGE R. W. THOMPSON.—This gen* tleman has just adjourned his first term of Court in this county, and tho able, dig nified and impartial manner in which he performed the duties of his office, as well as his courteous and gentlemanly bearing to officers, attorneys, jurors, litigants, aii? witnesses, entitles him to our highest commendation. We say it without intending to flatter Judge Thompson, that none of his predecessors ever gave better and more universal satisfaction to the peoph generally.—RockvilU Republican.

The Vincennes Gazette says that

a rare moreeau of scandal and gossip is being developed in a prominent social cir cle in that city.

All the men injured by the boiler

explosion, a fow days since, at Sheet's Mill, six miles west of the city, are re covering, with the exception of the senior partnor, Mr. Burke, who died the day after from injuries received.

Several changes have recently oc

curred on the St. Louis Road. John P. Laird, Assistant General Superintendent, has resigned John MinsiEger has been appointed Chief Engineer, vice Wm. Ball, resigned Beriah Warren has been appointed Master Machinist, vice James Seath, resigned and James Sprague, appointed Road Master of the Eastern Division, in place of Frank Molloy, re signed.

DISTILLERY IN LIMBO.—We learn from the Evansville Journal that the brewery of John Ebner, at Vincennes, has be«n seized by the officers of the gov ni-nt for manufacturing high wines vit:i ut reporting tho same for taxation conformity to the laws of the United ates. A discharged employee inform'•n him. The brewery is the largest, we bolieve, in Knox County.

Prairie chickens now have no

rights that sportsmen are bound to repect. The guardianship of the law which made them free and sacred commoners, expired at twelve o'clock last night, and leaves them to take care of themselves. Several parties of hunters start with dogs and guns for the Illinois prairies to-day, and wo are promised occular proof by at least ono of the parties, that the game is plenty and that as huntists they aro a success.

THE ARTESIAN BATH HOUSE.—Tho Terre Haute House Hotel Company is already moving in the erection of the proposed bath houses, and with such energy that the same will be completed by tho time of the State .Fair. Some of the brick are now on the ground, and Mr. Tuell, will go in a few days to tho White Sulphur Springs, Ohio, to obtain the most improved plan. The house for the preseat will contain sixtoen rooms, each supplied with marblo tubs. It will be located on the corner of Eighth and Cherry streets.

MURDER.—Saturday evening a man named Ogden was kilied by another man named (Joffoian, eight or nine ***:,js -outhwest of Paris. Ogden and eight others had cut a bee tree on the land of Mr. Zink, and while they were sitting on the trunk of the tree eating honey, about eight o'clock, Coffman came and claimed the honey as his by right of discovery, and he and Ogden quarreled about it, and finally got into a fight, when Coffman killed his antagonist at the first blow with a reck or slung shot. Coffman is in custody, and is to have his examination today. The parties lived near Grandview.

THE NEW ROAD.—Although there may be some doubt as to the building of another road from this city to Indianapol s, there can be none that several stakes will bs driven. The engineers are now at w^-rk driving these pegs, starting from Sixth street, about ten feet north of the 6 L'HIIS road, and proceeding on a ti flight line east. The party is under the superintendance of Gen. Tom. Morris, and is supplied with wagons, tents &c.— Whether the "combination" is in earnest, or is, attempting a little game of "bluff" ruwi&iiis to be developed.

UNANIMOUS VERDICT.—The most ris^d analysis by good chemists have failed to discover anything in the Chemical Saleratus which can, when properly used, be in thn least dugree detrimental to health. While thf women of our country entertain sentiments widely different upon othec matters, all concur in a verdict that the Chemical Saloratus is the only infallible article in use for light and sweet broad. dwlt.

THE WASHINGTON LIBRARY COM PAST of Philadelphia galas credit and support every day. The sale of stock surpass all expectation, and the prospect «, that the funds for the noble object will be secured even in advance of the time anticipated. The reason is obvious. The design is worthy, and creditable to the patriotic hearts who are laboring to reward a too much neglected class. The funds go into responsible hands, and tho public have no fears that they will be mis-directed. The plan adopted satisfies the scruples of tho most conscientious, and has the ondorse. ment of eminent fegal authority. It is by its distinctive features entirely removed from the taint of catch-penny schemes which have so often been the means of imposing on the public. It gives to purw chasers of its stoek a full equivalent far the consideration. All its transactions are open and abovo board. It has no concealments, and the reputation of the managers is such that they cannot afford to be dishonest in this transaction. Road advertisement. [dwlt.

The annual meeting of the old

The day was all that could be desired, and by twelve o'clock some 1,200 or 1,500 of the citizens ef Carroll county had assembled on the grounds selected for the meeting— the eld Milroy farm, on Deer Creek, about a mil9 and a half east of the town. All the oid settlers and their families were on hand, and the "society" was called to orderby Abner Robison, President, who was the very first white man who settled in Carroll county. A good dinner and speeches were the entertainment of the day.
