"cheek" we have seen anywhore this side of Chicago, occurred at our office last Saturday. A peddler came in and ordered one of the editorial force to throw away his cigar and ventilate the room so he could stay and exhibit his wares. He didn't stay.

PERSONAL.—We had the pleasure of meeting yesterday Judge Jesse Conard, for many years editor and publisher of the Wabash Courier, of this city. Since that paper was merged into the EXPRESS ilr. Conard has resided at Washington but now proposes to mafeo the Prairio City his future place of residence.

&BAYY EXFINSE.—The County Commissioners on Saturday allowed for medical treatment, nursing and board for Shelton, the horsethief who lost a leg caused by a policeman's shot while attempting to escape, $311,10. Nor io this the end of the bill of costs, as the man is now barely able to sit up and then will follow the expenses attending his trial and transfer to the penitentiary.

THE N. Y. INDEPENDENT. WE ask particular attention to the two-column advertisement of the N. Y. Independent, the largest and cheapest religious newspaper in the world. lis platform, prospects'and promises are so fully spread out that we cannot add more than to invite an attentive reading. The table of contents given of one number alone would seem to be fully worth the subscription price fbr one year.

Foa TKX CONTENTION I—General G. Steele, Hon. T. A. Rice, Messrs. J. Woodard, Thos, Nelson, Joseph Buchanan, James Grass, J. W. Beadle, W. Blackledge, J. W. Vanlandinghaca and some others of the Parke county delegation passed through the city yesterday on the en roitfc for the btate Convention. Col. J. W. Poster, of Vanderburg, Rnd Senator Jacques, of Posey, pawed up as the advance guard of "tbe Pocket" d?le•gation.

In speaking of the Rolling Mill,

last week, we should have mentioned the four double-flue boilers manufactured in this city at the shop of Mr. William Cliff. The proprietors of the Iron Works assort the workmanship on them cannot be surpassed in any shop east cr wocu At this time, when there i? a prospect of oth« •er manufacturing establishments locating at this point it is well to hav? it known that the very best of all kinds of steam boilers can be mado here.

Yesterday was good day for

maple sugar making. 8ovB_ be time for "buckwheat ca&S" and home niade lasses.

The delegation to the State Con

vention from this county will bear in mthd that their headquarters will be at the Sherman House. ,,, of two t'he chainlgang, coin{ brothers Johneon, boarding out city fines with Sheriff Kizar, was operating ii cleaning the gutters on Ohio street yes terday. .»js $•-'{ j.

The prospect of abundant work in

every branch of the mechanic arts in this city next season, is of the most promising character, and already many of the leading carpenters, masons and builders have their hands well filled.

Up to this date one hundred and

twenty-eight persons have united with the Asbury Methodist ohurch. Sunday evening last tjxirty-seven were baptised at the altar. The meetings will continue every evening and also each morning from nine to ten o'clock.

PERSONAL.—General Charles Cruft Col. Nelson and a few others of tho Vigo contingent for the grand muster of Re» publican hditB that odours to-morrow at Indianapolis moved on that city Monday and took up a strong position. Yesterday Col. R. W. Thompson, Dr. W. Q. Insley, J. O. Jones, Esq., Nicholas Phil beck, Esq., and some others whose names we did not learn moved forward to the position occupied by tbe advance guard. To-day the main body will march by rail leaving the rear guard to go forward by the midnight train.

BIGAMY.-—James Andrews, arrested on Saturday for associating with prostitutes, sent to jail for non-payment of fine, released on Monday and married to one of the women, is likely to again figure in our courts, this time under tbe more sea rious oharge of bigamy. Yesterday Mrs. Elizabeth Andrews, residing at fianford Station, this county, appeared before tho Mayor claiming she was his lawful wed' ded wife, and had not been divorced. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Andrews, but the officer .failed to unettriu him yesterday.

James Andrews and Ann Taylor,

were two of the persons arrested at the house of bad character over the river on Saturday, of which mention was made in our police report yesterday morning.— Andrews went to jail in default of paying his fine, and the woman let off under promise to leave town. But the "gentle Annie" as the police style her, had no notion of leaving the scene of her many exploits. She laid siege to tbe heart of Andrews and yesterday the latter request ted to be released from durance vile in order that the twain might be made one flesh. Mayor Coobtrly granted the request, the marriage vows were consecra ted, and tbe two went out, we hope to lead a life of happiness and maintain a virtu qua union.

TERKK HATTTB DIRECTORY.—We found on our table last evening a copy of this work, with the compliments of Mr. A. L. Logan, the compiler and publisher, who is now delivering the book in this city. We have only time for a hasty glance, but in that are favorably impressed with the work. The typographical execution is excellent. The directory embraces an alphabetical list of tbe names of citizens Institutions, corporations, &c., a sketch of the early history of the city, municipal record, and other matters of interest. It also contains a classified business directory of all the towns in this vicinity, to which is added a complete list of post offices in this State and Illinois. It is a most useful and valuable book. Copies may bo had of the publisher at the Terre Haute House. We will speak of it more fully after a caret ul examination.

Another attempt to break jail has

been discovered by Sheriff Kizer in time to prevent the escape of the rascals confined therein. This time they had sue. ceeded in raising one of the large flag stones in tho floor and burrowed under the wall nearly to the surface on the outside. The earth removed was carefully concealed under their several beds and the stone replaced with great care at the time the prison was inspected each evening. The work had doubtless been prosecuted several clays, but the watchful eyes of Sheriff Kizer and Deputy Coddington were too sharp for the scamps, and this second attempt was frustrated in the yick of time.

James Roberts, who absconded

from Reelsville some four or five weeks since, taking with him monies belonging to the T. H. & I. Road and the Express Company, was arrested a few days since at Rochester, New York, and is now regretting his folly while looking through the grating of the Greencnstle jail. He is a well appearing young man of twentytwo years, and well known in this city.— Heretofore he has borne an unblemished reputation, but in an evil hour the tempter came and he fell. When arrested he was travelling with Skiff & Gaylord's minstrels, under an assumed name.

t&~ J. W. T. Tannery was before the Mayor Thursday, charged with stealing a suit of clothes from Mr. A. Jackson. It seems that Tannery was at work for Mr. Jackson's fathar-Ln-taw, who resides about four miles from the city, and that Jackson was stopping at the same house.— Tannery rose at an early hour and donned a floe suit belonging to Jackson and, leaving his own shabby habiliments, "lit out" with creditable spsed. He had Westonixed some miles when he was overtaken and brought to the city. The Ma] ror decided that his operations in the clothing line were illegitimate and committed him for trial in default ef $500 bail.

Judge McDonald, on Tuesday, in

the United States Court, upon a petition on the part of the creditors of a bankrupt, for an injunction restraining the enforcement of a levy made upon the goods of said bankrupt, made the same day as the petition in bankruptcy was filed, decided tb&t the filing of ths petition was an ..act of bankruptcy, and protected his property from levies upon State executions. Tbe Attorney for the holder of the execation argued that a man was n«t a bankrupt until be had been to declared by the Register. Ia the case named the petition was filed only an hour or two before the judgment was decreed.

TDT WKDDIHG.—Saturday EY^AJNG Mr. and Mrs. Ned R. Jones, the former the polite and popular iieket agent' of the T. H. & R. R-, celebrated the tenth anniversary of tfceif raarriag« or ratMr, their friends celebrated it for them. Early in the evening a party'humbarfng iome seventy-five persons collected at the house of Mr. Polhemus, near by, and armed and equipped in the customary manner with every species of tinware, proceeded to the residence of Mr. Jones, taking the household completely by surprise. The affair was decidedly tin-y, not in size hut in quality, and Ned says he has the best fur* niehed house in the city, as far as tiawaqa goes and oyster cans sufficient to shingle a meeting house. All his friends unite in the wish that this tinth anniversary may be followed by the richer hues and riper anniversaries of silver and gold. These motallic anniversaries are worthy of more general observance.

POOB ASYLUM.—Thomas Beauchamp, of Sugar Creek township, was selected by the County Commissioners, on Saturday,

Superintendent of the Poor Asylum. The salary is fixed at $1,200 for which Mr. Beauchamp furnishes the services of himself and wife, four horses, two wagons, all the necessary farm implements and two farm hands. There were about thirty applicants for the poaitic-n, nud the Auditor's office was well filled with tho aspirants. Mr. Brown, of the Board, stated in brief about what would be required of tbe man selected, and then inv vited such as chose to do so, to verbally state their claims and propositions. Many had already done so in writing. It was not a little interesting as well as amusing to hear some of tho claims set forth.— -Several of the applicants were about as well qualified for the position as many would-be "inkslingists" are for running newspaper. One man, more honest or candid than the others, came forward in his turn and said since he heard what was required and listened to the talk of the ot'e^r candidates he had come to the con--elusion he did not know anything about it and was not fit for the position We re unacquainted with Mr. Beauchamp, jf. hope he may prove the right man fbr tfe- place, as just at the commencement the new plan adopted by the Commissioners for caring for the paupers of the county, it is highly important that the man to take chargo should be fully competent If he is, there can scarcely be

doubt that in a few yearB the institution can be made self-supporting.

REAL ESTATE.—Our report elsewhere of transfers recorded at the Recorder's office shows a continued lively condition of tbe real estate market, and we learn the sums paid oxhibit a steady advance in tho prices, especially of city property. This shows well. We presume therei ii somewhere, or at some point -of time, a limit to the rise in the value of real estate in cities beyond which it will not pass. But so long as commerce and manufactures continue to expand in a city, and, as a consequence, population increases so that there Is an enlarged and enlarging demand for lots and stores, dwellinghouses and structures of all sorts, so long may we expect that real estate will hold its own and be the most valuable and profitable investment that large capital can find. There may be temporary lulls in the advancing prosperity of a city, when business is dull and when rents tend to fall. But while this is so it has been often noticed that there is no weakkening of prices of lots. Here where we have Buffered, with other towns, in stagnation in business, it has not been noticed that property changes hands at any reduction in figures. Prices are stiff. And the reason is that the confidence of real estate owners in the continued growth of the city, in its augmenting trade and manufactures, and a consequent increase of population, is unabated. All such increase of taffic and population is a guaranty ofincrease in value in real estate.

REAL ESTATB RBANSFERS.—Recorder Meyers' book for last week show the fol« lowing transfers of real estate in this city and county:

Wm. B. Ogle to John Bianchy 100 acres in Prairieton township for $800. Lyman Miller to Wm. H. Walker, lot in Linton's addition for $700.

Rollinr Mill and Hail Works

S !T£V.

A Successful

NEW ERA IN TERRE HAUTE!

Iiast l}Ejmther when it was stated that the Iron antLNail Work# of^Torner, Glo ver & Co. would be in operation by the first of February it seemed impossible that the buildings could be erected and th9 necessary ponderous machiney plac ed therein in so short a time but tbe energy and perservance of those in charge have caused the materials to be collected, tbe machinery to be set in place, and the works to arise as if by magic. For this early completion great credit is due to such persevering asd industrious gentlemen as George Turner, Manager Benjamin Wilhelm, Machinist William Crawford, Master Builder and Jasper A. Morgan, at the head of tbe Finance Department.

On Wednesday the engines and ma% chinery were heated up, and on yesterday morning we visited the Works to find the rolling department in full blast, and the interesting—and to this community, novel processs—witnessed by a large crowd of people, including many ladies.

The works are located about one mile south-east of tbe Terre Haute House, within fifty feet of the E. & C. R. R., and on the road leading out from Fourteenth street. The main building is a substan' tial frame structura covering a space of two hundred by eighty feet and of sufficient height to admit of the necessary machinery. To this are added a number of shops and sheds.

The organization will be known as the "TSKBK HAUTE IRON WORKS,OF TURNER, GLOTEB & Co." The stockholders ure George Turner, Joshua E. Glover, Joseph S. Glover, William Crawford, Benjamin Wilhelm, and Jasper A Morgan. All these gentlemen are from Youngstown, Ohio, and now propose to make this city their future home. Alt are practical working or business men, and each fitted for the position severally occupied.

The capital stock of the company is $120,000, .1 if* The iron now used comes from the blast furnace at Harmony, Clay county: and the coal from Sullivan county. The latter is believed to be better for rolling mill purposes, and will be used in preference to the famed Brazil coal, at least for the prosent. We learn the company have large interests in the coal fields of Sullivan county.

The machinery, or rather the muck train and nail plate train, is driven by a monster engine of five hundred horsepower, built at Pittsburgh, by Robinson, Kay A Co. -In addition, the nail machines are driven by an engine of slxty-horse-power, made at Salem, Ohio, by Sharp, David A Bonsai 1 and a portable engine drives the machinery in the machine and blacksmith shops*

There are six immense puddling furnaces—two now In uae—Into whicn the pig iron is placed, to pass under a fierce heat. When melted to a white heat and almost liquid state, it is taken out in lumps of about one hundred pounds, and carried on iron trucks to an immense cylindrical "squeezer," (which takes the place of the old trip-hammer.) The lump is thrown in and making a revolution, with a whiz! whang I bang! like the noise of a package of large fire works or a park of artillery, comes out around rolj one or two feet in length. Then it passes between.. two powerful rollers through a aeries of grooves, each succeaeing one smaller in size, and in less time than we have written this paragraph, the shapeleeo lump of molten iron is laid aside in a red heat to cool, a bar or rod of iron some ten feet long.— Afterwards, in preparing tor nail machines, the bars are cut up by a large pair of muck shears, weighing eighteen thousand pounds. These shears and the squeezer, weighing forty thousand pounds were manufactured at Youngstown, Ohio, by Homer, Hamilton & Co.

On an elevated platform are arranged in two rows the nail machines—at preaene sixteen in number. Several additional machines will soon be put on. These are of the latest and best patterns, and of the very beBt manufaoture. One large spike machine is the fourth ever made in this country of that size. These machines "when in operation will turn out eight hundred kegs of nails per day I

The Machine shop is supplied with turning lathes, drill presses, bolt cutters and|all necessary machinery, and these have been used in the erection ot the works, thus saving considerable expense. The company will be engaged a couple of weeks more in making toois needed and the nail machines will not be in operation before the first of March.

Not the least prominent objects that strike the eye of the visitor are the large fly wheel 20$ feet in diameter, regulating the motion of the engine and machinery attached, and four bugs grind-stones averaging four ton* each. These latter will be used in grinding of knivesthe nail machines.

Some idea of the ponderous machinery used may be formed when it is stated that the entire castings weigh 330 tons, or six hundred and sixty thousand pounds!

The muck train and nail-plate train were made by Chas. Knapp Nephews, of Pittsburgh, who were made famous as as manufactures of big guns during "the late onpleasantness."

The engines and en tiro works are supplied with water from one well, which, upon severe test, has been found inexhaustible. This feature, which has been a question of no little anxiety at other points will not cause any troubie here.

The works, at least for the present, will only be operated in the day time and will afford employment for a force of from sixty to one hundred men. At first only those articles the most profitable and commanding the readiest sale will be manufactured, but in cousre of time every article usually made in a rolling mill and nail works will be included.

The entire machinery now in operation is running most beautifully and giving ensire satisfaction. A specimen of the first day's manufacture of iron may be seen at the counter of the First National Bank. It is pronounced of,superior quali* ty. We advise our readers, one and all, to pay the works an early visit. Iron works are new to our people, and an inspectioti will be interesting to the curious as well as those who hail these works as the beginning of extensive manufactures at this point.

We have attempted above a very im» perfect mention of these works. (We will cot dignify it with the term descrip. Hon as it is the first time we have been inside a rolling mill) As before remarked, the nail factory will not be in operation until the fir-t of March and then we shall probably give io detail tbe process of manufacture from the time the crude iron enters the furnace to its exit a finished nail or other work. The establishment is one of the most complete of its kind in tbe Unite&Sfetea, and tbe proprietors are each of them men of business energy asd large practical experience. Yjrith such element*, and with coal and iroh in close proximity there can be no doubt of complete success. The success, fill ool&pletion and operation of the works

marks a new era in the history of our city, and we trust it is only tha entering wedge to other manufacturing establish' ments to follow, and that oar resident capitalists as well as those from abroad, will be induced to profit by the advent** ges herein offered in favor of this city as a manufacturing point Such an awakening will add immensely to the business of our city and bring among as large addi tions of skilled mechanics and laboring men. and we shall go on in the high road to prosperity ana usefulness.

PLANTING

TREES—FARMERS CLUBS.

AB the season for planting trees is near at hand, and as many of your readers are interested fruit growers, especially in the apple, we would like to call the attention of them to some few facts, through your columns, as to the importance of planting only hardy varieties. Many planters in planting an apple orchard of one hundred trees plant frem fifteen to twenty-five varieties, when they should not plant more than from seven to ten varieties to have apples of the beat varieties very near the year round. This desire to accumulate so many varities is all a mistake, as their experience in the future will prove. In finding that there are only a few varieties in their orchard that Bupply the bulk of their fruit, then you will hear the oft repeated expression, "I wish we had planted more of this variety,' &3 experience has taught them that some of the varieties do not pay for the ground they occupy, whilst others have proved tender. The sudden changes of the tem^ perature has killed them at just about the time the paying crops were expected from tbem. Now is the time the owner will make one more blunder in attempting to replant bis orchard by planting where the old ones stood. Then you will hear him blame the Nurseryman and say there is something wrong with the trees as tliey will not grow.

Well, what is wrong Let me tell you what it is. It is this, Mr. Planter you are starving the trees, as you give them naught to sustain life. How could you expect them to grow. Have you not planted those trees where tho others stood—the old ones having extracted all the life.sustaining powers from the soil far beyond the reach of the young tree. Such is the fact in thousands of instances all over the country, yet they—the planter—perseveres in his planting, expecting Jto see his poor, half starved trees grow. We think we hear him say, "What do you mean by half starved, did not the other trees grow most beautis fullj Of course they did, and you have not given the new tree any new Boil to live on as you did the first. You might expect to appease your own hunger by sit ting down to the table with nothing but empty dishes.

So it is with the tree, he has set it in the soil that was once well supplied with fbod for its growth, but the former occu)ant has eaton all as far as it could reach. We would recommend the farmers to call meetings in every township, and form clubs for the discussion of all topic* of interest to them. In this way not only a few but all may be benefitted who take part in them. Let each one come with his little store of experience and impart some to his neighbors we assure him he will be none the loser, but the gainer— not only in what he hears from his friends but what he imparts to them as it will brush up his memory, and cause him to feel in better humor not only 'vith himself but with the world, as by conversation and discussions we are enlightened and our minds|are made active, and ready to combat the obstructions WG meet in our journey through this life.

Let me ask one question before we close. Farmers and tillers of tbe soil, you are the great sustaining power of tile count try. Why can we not have associations for mutual benefit to each other as well as the Lawyer, Doctor, Merchant, and most all the different Mechanical trades who all have Associations

We could call meetings, elect a Chairman, Secret&ry and Treasurer, making the fee for membership very small—just sufficient to sustain it or let it be done by contribution. Don't spend much time on Constitutio'i or By-Laws, as in a Farmers' Club they should not require much law. Let parliamentary rules govern the discusions as far as possible, and the thing will glide along smoothly. We would like to hear the answer come from every township in Old Vigo, that we have a club of farmers. Lot them be ever so small, as in the case of Harrison township Club, which is now working with much benefit to all, and likely to prove a big thing. It started with seven or eight names, but has increased very fast since its birth. We await the reply.

TOWNSHIP CLUB.

Terre Haute, Feb. 12, 1868.

A KERNEL OF WHEAT IN A BUSHEL OF CHAFF.—In this age of humbuggery, when tho wits of one»half the world are at work to cheat the other half, it is refreshing to find an article of general utility among us that possessor the merit claimed for it. It requires knowledge of the higher mathematics to enumerate the number of worthless hair preparations that flood our market, vaunting their superior excellencies from tho show-cases of every druggist. Among this mass of rubbish, however, there is one article that, if tbe popular verdict is worth anything, is a9 far removed from its competitors ia the valuable properties it possesses, as it is in its enormous demand. Of course we allude to the popular "Barrett's Vegetable Hair Restorative,'' which is so highly indorsed and recommended by druggists. Those who havo used it—and their name is legion—are unanimous in their praise of its absolute superiority over all its would-be competitors.—Cincinnati Times.

DIED.—At his residence in Riley township, Monday night, 17th inst., JOHN B. GORDON, aged about fifty years.

COUNTY SCHOOLS.—The Journal states that in Pierson township there are nine public schools in active and successful operation, with an average attendance of twenty-five scholars each. These schools will continue open this season for a period of five months and five days. The wonderful improvement in tbe mutter of schools in this county is a source of great satisfaction to every friend of education, and no member of the coming generation need grow up to msnhood's estate without possessing a fair share of knowledge in the rudimentary branches.

WSf John Bone, of Hartford this county, havingheen forced into involuntary bankruptcy by his creditors, had a hearing at Indianapolis, before Judge McDonald, on Tuesday, and was discharged. The plaintiffs have the pleasure of footing the bill of costs. The case was managed by Baird A Cruft in behalf of Bone, and W. E. McLean, of this city, and E. A. Davis of Indianapolis, for the creditors.
