GENERAL CONFERENCE DELEGATES.— The thrco Methodist Conferences of this State just adjourned, appointed the fallowing delegates to tho General Conference of 1868, which meets at Chicago.— The North Conferenco will select tho delegates next spring, at its regular session:

g-gy A few days since an article went the round of the papers to the effect thata convict in the Jeffersonville Penitentiary bad been punished by the cat-o-nino until he fainted. This, we learn, was not the case. Tho convict was a desperado of the meanest character, and brought the punishment upon himself by a threatened murderous assault with a knife upon an officer of tho Prison. The deputy warden was ordered togivg him seven lashes. In order to avoid the puuishment he swallowed & chew of tobacco. After being struck a time or two he professed to faint, but upon an examination by the physician his professions were pronounced false, and he received his punishment, immediately after which he vomited up his tobacco

There are always some desperadoes in every prison, who-n the off'""":" -he prison are occasionally forceu to punish severely, otherwiso it would be impossible to control them.

The canal from this point to La'

THE 'ST. IrttfIB,* ACTOif 43T2 TfcBBS HAUTE ROAD.—We have already published the transfer of the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Bailroad to the Eastern combination, and the fact of the election of Gen. Morris, Indianapolis, Presidont. From the Indianapolis Journal we now obtain a statement of the facts attending this transfer.

The Terre Haute and Indianapolis Bail* way Company having declined to enter into the arrangement desired by the Eastern companies, a corporation under the name of the Indianapolis and St. Louis Bailroad Company has been formed, un der tho general railroad law of the State of Indiana, to construct another line of road between the cities of Indianapolii and Terre Haute, connecting at this place with the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Bailroad. The now company has been organized, and is composed of the follow iug Board of Directors

Geo. W. Cass, President of the Pitts burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Bailroad Stillrnan Witt, President of the Belle fontainc Bailroad.

Henry C. Lord, President of the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette Bail road.

L. M. Hubby, President of the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Bailroad Thomas A. Morris, of Indianapolis, Ind

The surveys of the new line have been in progress for some time, and the work has now commenced and will be pushed forward to a speedy completion.

The operating contract of the St. Louis Alton and Terre Haute Bailroad has been executed by this company, under the guarantees of the associated roads, in the place of the Terre Haute and Indianapo lis Road, and on the 11th instant tho parties met in St. Louis and the arrangement was consummated by the for mal surrender, by Mr. Butler, the President, in the presence and under the direction of the Board of Directors of the main line from St. Louis to Terre Haute, and the Alton Branch, which will in future be operated and managed by the Indianapolis and St. Louis Bailroad Company, in the interest of the associated companies, whose object is to increase the facilities of communication between St Louis and Eastern cities by this great central trunk line.

Before the advent of tilting hoops,

the following sage advice to "young men about to marry" would have been thrown away. Now, however, it may be found useful. At any rate, the "study." is interesting

The dark girl, with a large leg, will become fat at thirty, and lie abod reading novels till midday. Tho brunette, with slender, very slender limbs, will worry your soul out witL jealousy. The oliveskinned maid, with a pretty, rounded leg, will make you happy. The blonde, with large limbs, will degenerate at thirty-five into thejpossession of a pair of ankles double the natural size and afflicted witb rheumatism. The fair-haired damsel, with thin limbs will get up at balf-past five A. M, to scold the servants, and will spend her nights talking scandal over tea. The light, rosy girl, with a sturdy, muscular, well turned leg, will be just the girl for you. If you can find a red haired girl, with a large limb, pop the question at once.

LOST AND SAVED.—The Indianapolis Evening Commercial, of Saturday, contains the following

When the circus of Maginley & Carroll was exhibiting in a neighboring town last week, one of the actors made a young girl of fifteen believe that she would makeafortuns as an equestrienne. Iho girl had a good deal of ambition, and priding herself on her horse-womanship, agreed to join the establishment when an opportunity shouM offer, the cunning knave knowing better than to run her off tnen. A day or two since she received a letter from him with money to pay her way to Yincennes to join him, and she eloped from home. Her mother came to this city last night, giving a description of the gill to officers at the depot, she was discovered this morning, and detained as she was taking passage on the Terre Haute train. She was given in charge of ber mother and taken home.— The misguided girl was bent upon her course, and the mother was almost distracted on account of her. No punishment would be too severe for the scoundrel who would thus dupe a simple country girl.

A singular curiosity in Martin

county, Indiana, is thus described: "It stands alone in the dense forest, a gigantic stone jug about fifty feet in hight, about five feat in diameter at the base, eight feet midship, and two feet at the top, upon which rests a broad, flat rock, about ten by fifteen feet, covered with bushes and wild ivy and some three feet from tho center stands a small tree. The rock is a great curiosity, and a view of it should never bo lost by the traveler passing that way."

HANDKERCHIEF FLIRTATIONS.—Somebody, who knows something, puts on record the following:

Drawing across the lips—Desirous of getting acquainted. Drawing across the eyes—I am sorry.

Taking by center—You are too willing. Dropping—Wo will be friends. Twirling in both hands—Indifference. Drawing across,the cheek—I love you. Drawing through the hands—I hate you.

Letting it rest on the right cheek— Tes. Letting it rest on left cheek—No.

Twirling in loft hand—I wish to get rid of you. Twirling in right hand—I love another.

Folding it—I wish to speak with you. Over the shoulder—Follow me. Opposite corners in both hand9—Wait for me.

Drawing across the forehead—We are watched. Placing on right ear—You have changed.

Placing on left ear—I have a message for you. Letting it remain on the eyo—You are cruel.

Winding round fore finger—I am en-" gaged. Winding round third finger—I am married.

N. B.—Practice makes perfect.

It is understood four trains will

run between Indianapolis and this city during the week of the State Fair. The times of arrival here will be about 10 A.

M., 11.30

M., 2

and

SHOOTING AFFRAY. Sunday night about ten o'clock, at a saloon kept byWm. Schriver, on Fourth street, opposite the Market House, Christian Bruns, a German, was shot by Christopher Tilley, who keeps the fish market just north of tho Lower Market

A bad feeling has existed between the two men for some time, caused we believe by both paying attention to the same girl. A couple of months since Bruns, who is the most powerful man of the two, assaulted Tilley, injuring him about the head pretty severely with a pair of brass lcnucks. A complaint was filed before the Mayor, and Bruns was fined. This, of course, increased the bad fueling. Sunday night Tilley and a man named Stew art, were sitting at a tablo in the saloon above named, when Bruns came in andnvited Stewart to take a drink. While they were at the bar Bruns looked back at Tilley and remarked he was going to hive ^revenge on Tilley for having him fined. Soon afterwards he sat down near Tilley and asked, "Tilley, why don't you talk to me?" Tilley said he did not want to have anything to do with him, and with that Bruns grasped him by tho nerk raising him from the seat, when Tilloy drew arevolver'and commenced shooting. Three shot3 were fired, two taking effect. Ono of them is only a flesh wound on the hip the other entering in front at the top of the thigh and ranging downward, as wo understand. The wounds were dressed by Dr. Link, and last ovening tho man was resting quite easy, His situation is quite critical, and it cannot now be determined whether the wound will result fatally. Tilly was immediatuly arrested and gave bond in the sum of five hundred dollars.for appearance at the preliminary trial.

Since publishing tho complaint of

"Tax-paver,"complaining of the condition of toe National Boad, to the Fair Grounds, we learn the Commissioners at the June session, ordered the supervisors of the districts through which the road^asses, to make all necessary repairs. The matter should receive immediate attention

An old fellow living in the interior

of Crawford county, it is said, who had been much troubled by the nocturnal depredations of the boys, lately put poison in some melons, which two boys "hooked" and partook of. One of the boys died before reaching homo, and the other is in a critical condition.

It may not be known that the

failure, on the part of a person solemnizing marriage, *o return the proper certificate of the same to the Clerk's office within the time prescribed by law, subjects the person so offending to a fine of from five to one hundred dollars. One of the Lafayette 'Squires was much surprised to find himself indicted on this charge the other day.

See advertisement of sale of the

ITAT HOQI9 farm.

A man, whose daughter keeps

grocery ttore, was arretted yesterday, charged, with violating the market .ordinance in buying a quantity of batter to sell again. He introduced tbe' daughter, however, and by her, proved that in a short time he intended soon to be married to wife number two, and this butter was to be "packed in jgfokle,"-at a portion of, the housekeeping supplies. The Mayor was forced to believe this to be the ca»e, and lot the man go.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.—A vein or stratum of what is called American umber hus been discovered near Ferdinand Dubois county, and a company has been' formed to develop it. The company have a mill in course of erection, which, when completed, will be used to grind tha stone to powder with a view of manufacturing paint and paint oil from the umber. It is said a fair quantity of native marble has also been discovered in the same vicinity.

The Sullivan Democrat says the

A human voice has nine perfect

tones, but these can bo combined into 17,529,044,414 different sounds. A remarkable scientific fact, which probably accounts for the amount of discord in the world. gtgg* A monument has been erected at Greenwood Cemetery, Lafayette, to the memory of Colonel Carroll, Tenth Indiana Volunteers. Col. Carroll was killed at the battle of Cbicamauga.

SGF The chain gang yesterday was composed of a squad of three men, who were industriously scraping the streets at seventy-five cents a day to liquidate fines and costs assessed at the municipal court.

PRIVATE MEDICAL ADVICE.—Bead Dr Whittier's advertisement in another column. april4-dwltaw-ly.

SOP For acts of charity and benevolence Philadelphia stands prominent among her sister cities. During the war she had our refreshment saloons where thousands were fed while on their way to the "front," and now, in order that the good work may be continued, it is proposed to provide for the Orphans of many of these brave heroes who fell in defence of the stars and stripes. For this purpose the Washington Library Company of Philadelphia was organized in aid of the Biverside Institute of New Jersey. Here tho Orphans of Soldiers and Sailors in all parts of the country will be gratuitously educated and made useful members of Society. The just and honorable plan adopted for raising the necessary funds for this charitable object has received the endorsement of overy one. Bead advertisement. dwlt

With tho inducements held out to

our citizens to aid a noble object, every man, woman, and child should have a share of stock for the benefit of tbe Biverside Institute (located at Biverside, New •"c-rsey,) established for the gratuitous education of the Orphans of Soldiers and Sailors who fell in the great Btruggle for the perpetuation of the Union. This mer itorious affair is under the control of the Washington Library Company of Philadelphia, who, in order that their benevo* lent object may be successfully accomplished, have issued five series of fine steel plate engravings, one of which is given with every share of stock sock sold, at prices much below their retail value. In connection with this superb inducement, every shareholder is guaranteed a present in the great distribution of prssents to the shareholders—one of which is worth $40,000 another $20,000 another $10,000 &c. Each shareholder has an equal chance to obtain one of the most valuable presents—all will obtain somo present, besides a beautiful engraving. Read Advertisement. dwlt

Wheaton's Ointment is an old and

well tried remedy, which keeps constantly increasing in popularity as its merits become known. It has been before the public for more than sixty years, and is universally acknowledged to be the most certain and speedy cure ever discovered for Salt Bheum, Ulcers, Chilblains, Tetter, Pimples, Blotches, and all eruptions of tho skin, while it is a sure cure for tho Itch, and will eradicate the most obstinate cases in forty-eight hours. dwlt.

THE plan of the Washington Library Company of Philadelphia, for the endowment of the Biverside Institute for Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans, is one that has been laid out in strict accordance with the terms of tbe charter as granted for this purpose by tho Legislature of Pennsylvania. This charter of the Washington Library Company legalizes the very acts that its members are now performing for this noble object. The plan as most of our readers are aware, consists in selling stock at one dollar per share, each share or shares being accompanied by a handsome fine steol-plate engraving, worth fifty per cent, more than is actually paid for the stock. Besides this, every share of stock aacures one present in the great distribution of presents to shareholders. Of these presents the aggregate value is $300,000, one of them being worth the enormous sum of $40,000, another $20,000, another $10,000 and one worth $5,000, and two worth $2,500 each, several worth $1,000 each, and so on. This is simply the plan in brief as adopted and presented to the public. Every shareholder will obtain some present in the great distribution, besides the beautiful engraving at the time of purchase, and each one has an equal ohance of getting a small fortune, dwlt
