vi/ikli*?' New Albany ia experiencing a slight sensation on the subject of erecting a cotton mill.

A 3now j^hito deer was killed near

Versailles, Morgan county, Illinois, a few days ago.

Charlf? M. Barras, the author of

the Black Crook is said to have made :.$100,000 by his production.

JgpJnrrelt, Palmer and Wheatley, man ngers of tho ballet at Niblo's Garden, are eaid tc have made $50,000 apiece by tho "Black Crook.''

Berger, the French billiardist, has

been vanquished by a Marjeilles champi on. The game was 4,000 points and lasted two evfnmgs.

86^° In Philadelphia they have a curiosity in the-shape of a car for use on common roals, which lays down the track before it and takes it up after the car passes over it.

I a I a a is season, have not been very successful. The wonder is that any were attempted to be held. The excessive drought prevented any satisfactory display of Agricultural products.

ftjg* The Evansvillo Courier speaks of a rumor to tho effect that a grocery house in that city wa? fined $1,700 for selling sardine? without the revenue stamps being on the Doxes. The firm was fined $50 for eacb box.

The Treasurer of State has turned

over to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, for distribution among the common schools, $101,012.46. The amount is derived from interest on bonds, as provided by the Legislature.

|@r Bonner, of the N. Y. Ledger, says ho prides himself on two things. Theso are,

A Jockey in Toronto bought a

horse for $179, and a few days aftorward made a handsome profit by selling him at tho Rochester fair, for $1,100. But the new purchaser found he could not trot in 2:37, and sold him the next day for $2,300.

t&" Jud»o Swayne, U. S. Circuit Court for Kentucky, on Thursday, declared the Civil Rights Law to be Constitutional. The decision was made on a motion in arrest of judgment in the case of Rhode?, Vieker3, et, al., convicted of certain crimes upon negro testimony.

A train going ea^-t on Sunday last,

on the Ohio and Mississippi road, was thrown off tho track near Wheatland Ind., by coming in contact with a lot o, cattle., .Eight cars were thrown off, and the engine, baggage and express ear badly used up. Tho engineer was slightly injured. No othor perF.on hurt.

The Lafayette Journal says the in

ternal revenue assessment against Wm E. Reynolds on tho profits of tho sale of the old LaFayetto & Indianapolis Railroad has been fixed at two million two hundred'and eight thousand dollars. The 'tax is flvo por cent., which will put the snug sum of one hundred and eleven thousand four hundred dollars into tho national coffers.

Hgy* Tho late rebel Legislature of Kentucky passed a law to tax all incomes with the object of getting at the bonds of the Government. The Attorney General has recently expressed the opinion that Sheriffs must collect five per cent, of all incomes from that sourco, while the bonds of all "sovereign State" of Kentucky and bar corporations oaunot bo taxed, If this I JW is constitutional, rebel Legislatures will soon tax tho bonds out of existence.

Official advices from Europo to

the Government state that tho speculators •ire making v.?a of tha rccent speeches of tho lea-ling Democrats throughout the country, and the bonds havo declined considerably in consequenca. They have also started a story to the effect that the November interest of the 5-20? is to be paid in currency instead of gold. Secretary MeColloch has sont a denial of this last statement.

For several days past we havo ne»

tieed, in the Prairie City Bank, some specimen ears of white corn which we have never seen excelled for size and quality anywhere. The corn was gathered from a large field by 'Webb Casto, Esq., west of the river, and which it is alleged will average about sixty bushels per acre. Tho seed was furnished last spring by Messrs. Hudnut & Bcach, and is the kind used in the manufacture of hominy. The farmers will do well to plant extensively of this corn next springy as it yields largely, and they have ti home market for all they can raise, through the enterpriso of Messrs. Hudnut & Beach.

A New KIND OF WELL.—A new meth od of putting down a well, which readily suggests itself to every man for cheapness, cleanliness and durability, has receently been tried with success. Tho well is dug as ordinarily till sufficient water reached, and then a reservoir of loose stone and water lime mortar, about four feet deep, is made in the bottom, so mor tared up on the sides as to prevent the possibility of dirt or quicksand getting in The well consists of large tile, commonly used for sowers, put down within Mx inches of tho bottom and the earth filled in. This leaves plenty of room for the pump, and the top wants closing up care fuily. This kind of wells never naeds cleaning, because, it properly mader no dirt can ever get m. The cost is considerably less than that of ordinary wells, and a well can be put down a great 4®«1 quicker.

IS" The horse fair and trotting races commence on Friday of this week.

The local editor will be absent a

couple of weeks. His department is left in good hands.

The South Bend Register is out in

an editorial article on the subject of horse racing at fairs. It condemns the practice in strong language.

MABBIBD.—In this city on the 1st inst. by Rev.S. M. Stimson, Mr. MABION W. EDDY to Mrs. SABAH E. HUTCHENS.

MABBIED—By the bride's father, Rev. Mr. Stimson, last evening (Oct. 15th,) in this city, Mr. GEORGE W. HABEBLY and Miss FRANCES M. STIMSON.

A petition asking Congress to im

John Talbot, an old citizen and

drown. He went down head foremost, and was taken out alive next morning, but died soon after.

The Southwestern District Fair

held at Evansville last week, was pecuniarily successful. The display of horses was a failure. Capt. Dexter's horse, John A. Logan, won the citizens' purse of $200, for trotting in harness, best three in five, three straight heats. Time—2.36J, 2.37J, and 2.33J, on a half mile track in shape of a figure eight.

The voting on Tuesday last was

quite tedious in consequence of the Registry law, and it was about as much as one could do to hold on long enough to go through tha ceremony of voting. We have no doubt many were deterred from going to the polls on account of the length of time that would be consumed in voting. We see that the same difficulty was experienced in other places. Various remedies are suggested, to vote two days, or in wards, and to number the names on the list, and each voter recollect his number, and call it out at the polls so that it can be readily found.

Five hundred barrels of highwines

were recently seized by the Revenue officers in New York and taken to a bonded ware house. This, in connection with the enormous frauds that are daily being committed on the Government is likely to lead to the detection of a gigantic swindle on the part of Western whisky men. A plan had been concocted to get 15,000 barrels of fraud whisky on the New York market, the spirits to be dis-. patched in separate lots of 500 barrels each, consigned to different persons. The first lot has been seized and placed in a secure place. These packages purport to have been regularly inspected in the 2d District of Ohio. No owner has yet ap» peared to claim them.

The kind of people who celebrate

what they call the Democratic victories of the late elections may be inferred from the following specimen of a Democratic celebration in St. Louis

The meeting was presided over by Gen. Kar.ney, who was a violent enemy of the Government during the war, and the same man who while selling a bouquet on Change, for the benefit of some charitable object, tore from it the red, white and blue ribbons with which it was decorated, and flung them on the floor.

Most of the speakers were open spoken rebels during the war, and edified their hearers by tho vilest denunciations of New England, and the application of the lowest epithets to some of the most distinguished Generals of the Union army.

The payment of the public debt in greenbacks was openly advocated, and two of the speakers declared in favor of absolute repudiation.

UNPLEASANT IF TBUE.—in Philadelphia, one pleasant Sunday evening, an old lady whose failing eyes demanded an unusually large prayer book, started for church a little early. Stopping on the way to call on & friend she laid her prayer book on the centre-table. When the bells began to chime she snatched what she supposed to be her prayer book, and started fcr church. Her seat was at the chancel end of the gallery. The organ ceased playing. The minister said: "The Lord is in his holy temple, let all the earth keep silence before him.'' In the effort to open her supposed prayer book the started the spring of the music-box which she had taken instead. It began to play—in her consternation she put it on the floor. It would not stop—she put it on her seat, it sounded louder than ever. Finally she carried it out while it played the "Washing Day," an IrUh jig tune.

In all probability the thieves and

scoundrels who were here during the Fair went to St. Louis and operated there during the Fair week. They were in force and very successful in their vocation.— The St. Louis Dispaieh says the city was never before visited by so many of the craft, including some of the most distinguished, men worth fifty and sixty thousand dollars, every cent gained by thievery. They acted in concert and gangs of from three to eight were banded together aLd worked diligently in the transfer of cash and valuables from other people's pockets to their own. The most experienced detectives and policemen were placed on duty, but the thieves were thicker than the policemen. A deputy constable was relived of a fine gold ih, but he begged the papers to not publish his name.

At the Fair at St. Louis on Satur

day the purse of $300 for the fastest trotting horse, mare or geldiag, going five times around the arena, was won by Sir Walter—time 1.48$. The second and third prizes were won by Rolla and Rosa Gold Dust.

Rolla and Rosa were tied, having made the second best time in 1.52 each. A second trial was had between them, resulting in a second tie, each trotting in 1.50. As they both belonged to L. L. Dorsey, and the premiums would both go into tbe same pocket, ne further trial was had There were seven entries.

I^TDuring the performanceof French's Circus at Eaton, Ohio, a disturbance took place, in which a pistol was fired at the ring-master, missing him, but the ball or slugs with which the pistol was loaded struck a young lady named Campbell, of Florence Station, killing her instantly the ball passing through her breast. At the same time a young man was struck near the left shoulder, the ball passing cut of the arm, wounding him seriously, if notfktally.

The deceased was one'of the parly settlers of this State, living for many years in Parke county, and in all of the varied circumstances of life, was regarded by al] who knew him, as a kind, warm-hearted husband, father and friend, a high-minded honest man and a good citizen. He leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his loss, and to »ympathize with his children in their bereavement.

STATE FAIBS. The Chicago Times makes the following comments upon the influences of State Fairs

There are undoubtedly some benefits accruing to these exhibitions but there are not half so many benefits as, and there area good many more evils than, there should be. The advertising feature, and tbe doubtful morality of the race track, are elements difficult of separation from fairs. The characteristic, however, of doubled charges and depreciated accommodations can and ought to be remedied. If there are towns which cannot live and flourish without tho privilege of an occasional raid upon the public wallet, it would be much more decent to lat them die, or else let them pass around a begging paper, asking for contributions to their support. The public would much prefer this form of charity to one in which there is an assumption, on the part of the recipient of alms, of a reciprocity. Tho only place to hold State fairs is in large cities, in which there is no temptation to double prices upon tho advent of a few hundreds or thousands of visitors.

We can congratulato ourselves that at the late fair in Terre Haute there were no "double charges," neither did we take tbe "privilege" of making a",lraid upon the public wallet," and we have not been obliged to pass around a "begging paper asking for contributions." As to

large

cities" being the only places to hold State Fairs, we think is a good deal doubtful, as they are no more exempt from the "temptation to double prices" than other places. The regular prices of large cities aro plenty large enough, and the experience of people generally is, that the most they receive in large cities is the pleasure of paying extremely high priccs.

FJ»CIXG THE RAILKOAD.—The Evansville & Crawfordsville Railroad Company in conjunction with the farmers along the line, are engaged in fencing in tbe railroad along its length. When this work is finished they will not ^be annoyed by stock on the track, and will be able to make better time safely.

The majority for E! liott, Republican candidate for-County Clerk, was about thirty, but the- tickets used in one of the townships by the Be publicans to the number of i&bout sixty, being headed by a political title, were thrown out and Wolf,, .the Democratic candidate, will get the certificate of elec tion. It must be borne in mind that under the new election law the tickets «re to be of plain white paper, with nothing thereon but tbe title of the office and the names of the candidates.

WHAT WILL YOU BKT ?-Th» is a phrase that is heard oftener than any other in masculine conversation. Ldt a psrson utter a proposition that admits of a doubt and there is always some one in the crowd who will desire to know what quantity of stamps he is ready to "go" on it. Brown states his belief that a certain candidate who is running for Congress, or a certain horse that is to hm for a purse will win, whereupon Jones, who is standing by, draws out his pocket-book and says, "what will you bet?" If Brown does not back up his opinion with greenbacks, he is regarded with something bordering on contempt by tho crowd, while Jones, and his opinions, rise proportionally ia their estimation. A man's sincerity is questioned if he states an opinion that he is not ready to go his pile on.

The inference is that he makc3 careless and ill-digested statements,, pr. that he don't believe what he hiniself Heclares.— It may have the effect to make men guarded in their assertions, when they are liable to have some doubter cxclaim, "For how much?"/

Inveterate betters, who have no opin ions begi tells, which which says or, "A fifty dollar note assures me," &o.,&o This is the man who asks you, when you have given utterance to an opinion, "You say so, but does your money say sc, too?"

Few men but dislike to be badgered for bet, and many a one has staked his money with almost a 'ceftWfity of losing, because urged to back a proposition hastily made and not well considered. This constant thrusting upon people of aproposition to bet may be proper enough on the race-track, but its universal introduction, regardless of time or place, ought to bo discountenanced The staple phrases of tho horse jockey and gambler should not have such pominence as they do among individuals who claim to be gentlemen.

It should not be considered conclusive audience that a man is not sincere in hi* statements because IIQ declines to bet. He may be conscientiously opposed to betting, or he may consider it a vulgar h&bit, or he may not be possessed at the time of the necessary scrip. Many of the loud-mouthed, vaunting fellows, who are so quick to cry "For how much?'' "What'll you bet do so with nothing better than an empty pocket-book to back their impudence, or if in funds they rarely put it up.

Americans are rapidly becoming a nation of betters, lliey bet on horse races, boat races, Presidential races, prize fights, base ball, billiards, chicken fights, the age of a woman or a horse, color of an eye, higlit of mountains, depth of rivers, the speed of a train, horse fairs, fair women, and far-o.

The school boy bets his fiih hooks and his marbles, the girls bet kisses and philopenas, while the men bet their boots and their bottom dollar. The sailor bets on his ship, the soldier on General Grant, the engineer on his locomotive, the politician on an election, the lover on his sweetheart, the jockey on the bob-tailed nag (who'll bet on the bay?) the saloon keeper on tbe excellence of his whisky, while all patriotic Americans stand ready_to bet on he stars and stripes.

SHOOTING AFFABY, What came near being a serious affair, occurred at tbe passenger depot yesterday about the time tho noon train started west. Mr. John Easton, a well-known citizen of Charleston, Illinois, and the ticket agent on the St. Louis road, became involved in dispute concerning the purchase of a ticket, or in making the change. Some words was passed back and- forth through the window, when Mr. Lovejoy came outside the office. As to what then occurre there are conflicting reports, but during tbe altercation Mr. Easton drew a small Derringer pistol, and as he states it accidentally discharged, the ball passing through the forefinger of his own left haDd, performing a complete amputation. A lady standing near, narrowly escaped injury, the ball passing through her dress. An American citizen of African descent, was also standing by, and at thojinstant the pistol went off he went also, and has not been seen about tho depot since. Mr. Easton was arrested and taken before the Mayor. Owing to the absence of nn im* portant witness, the examination was de« ferred until Thursday of next weok.
