THEHAIL-STORM of Wednesday evening was more disastrous in its effects than at the time supposed. We hear of considerable destruction to fruit trees, vines and plants. TheHeinl Brothers suffered more than any others we have heard from.— Their four latfge green-house® were made a perfect wreck the hail, some as large as walnuts, crashing through the glass roof, the falling glass cutting tbe plants, causing a damage estimated at four to five hundred dollars. In some instances the hail went through four thicknesses of glass. Fruit trees, and out door plants and shrobs were more or less injured.— We also learn the green-house of Col. H.

D.Scott was damaged, but to what extont we are notinformed.

THE IMPROVEMENTS of the ci^y the present year will exceed any former season. It is particularly gratifying to ncn tice the progress of elegant business houses being erected en Main street. That of Mr. Efcster will add one more building to the Kauftnan'Kieer block. On the Southeast corner of Sixth and Vain streets

Messrs. Gilbert and Beach are preparing for the erection of an elegant block, to be surpassed by none in the city. Tuell, Ripley & Co. propose erecting a business house on the Northwest corner of Sixth and Wabash street. With the Deming block and the National Hotel upon the other two corners that part of the city will be very attractive. Corey & Man court and W. H. Sage are building next west of the National State Bank, business houses to compare favorably with that splendid bank edifice. The Hutanmn building and Mechanics Row, opposite, are obeing materially improved handsome cornices, iron front, paint, etc and everywhere else in the city the active hammer of the artiaan may be heard.

This is the last week of the present term of Common Pleas Court.

Rev. E. F. ijowe, the President of the Union, after calling to the stand one Vice PreaicHkit frdm %aci Sabbath School, invited Rev. B. W.

HEAVY JURY.—The average weight of the members of the Grand Jury of the United States Ceurt, composed of twentythree persons, is one hundred and eighty pounds.

THE SHERIFFALTY.

From the Evanaville Union, April 3d.] Mr. N». Filbeckj one who has ,in ibis city, as well* as in Terre-Haute, a host of friends, is a candidate for the Sheriff's Office of Vigo County, and his many friends will-give him a warm &upport.

The 21 B• Buerger Zcitung has the following: Oub beadebs will notice in to-day's iper the announeement of Mr. N. ilbeck as a candidato for tbe Sheriff's Office of Vigo County, subject to the decision of the Republican nominating Convention, and his many friends will be glad to recommend him. His capacities for thjsiffieo ica&not be ttenied.i ^Kr.rN, ^ilbeck is an adopted" German citizen, and nobody cau say anything afgainst his integrity. Ho has been a brave joldier for three years. In the battle of

101 fi,«4l'atone Ri»er" he was wounded severely Incre^e thelbnllets ?of the enemy, and from Qw danger of tbe wound suffered nearly an early death in the hospital.

»1, thenum-

If.tbat don't effect the sympathies of "Bis fellow-citizens in this country, then we ^ill have nothing more to say He is our fijrst choice, and we will give -hi t, our Bumfo**.

We also join to give bim such recommendation as he deserves as a citizen and idldier, and hope that success may attend

From Indianapolis Telegraph of May 4th. We noticed in the last number of the T". H. JBuerger. Zeitvng, that Mr. N. Filbeck fs a candidate for Shorlff of Vigo County.

Mr. Filbeck is not only a staunch Re ublican but is in every way well quali ed t« fill that portion he is well liked by all, and the Republicans ot Vigo coun ty can't well do anything better for the {Arty than to give "him the nomination. I .am positive that his nomination on the Republican ticket will add .strength to the ticket and will benefit many votes.

^Correapondence Buerger Zeltnng.] I noticed in the last edition of the Buerger peittmg that Mr. If. Filbeck i| candidate for' tbe ^Sheriff's office, and

am of the opinion, with you, that he is well qualified-to fill that position. It is laughable if men cin't say or even bring any other charge against a man but that he is too young. I.don't think it is necessary that a raitf amtr be grey beaded to ilia or fill an office.

Mr. Filbeck is 25 year*old, and since 1ie~haB been four years old, in this country, and in this city 15 years, and has beta a' soldier during \he last rebellion, and has as much experience in our affairs as many an old citizen. iir. Filbeck is a citizen and bas as tnany ottte»tions towards, this country as :goy otfcerokizei), aridtberefori is entitled to the same privileges. Altogether I like to ask you who shoutd get the support of the oommunity, "the young qualified or the ofiftotpKitifiei."

THECAUSE.—Ever since women left off wearing bonnets, and substituted for them a bit of pasteboard, covered with some thin stuff, on the top of tbe head, and fastened under the chin with ribbon or a strip of lace, that painful disease, neuralgia, has prevailed among them to an extent never known before. This iact, however, has no influence upon the fashion and we presume that cases of neuralgia Will continue to be as innumerable, af,jpbstinate, and as profitable to physicians, as they are at present.

The Commissioner has complete power to appoint Commissioners and remove subor dinatn officers. The department is divided into different divisions with a chief to each

The most marked change in the old law, is in regard to distilled spirits, the provisions guarding against fraud being moro stringent. The tax remains at two dollars per-galion, to be paid in all cases at the distillery by the means of stsups. Beer will be taxed one dollar per barrel. Snuff, all kinds, 40c per pound, chewing tobacco, tuid all smoking tobacco not "mado exclusively of stems,'40c por pound. Smoking tobacco made exclusively

The tax on refined petroleum kept at 10c per gallon. Places of amusement in addition to regular tax, pay a specific tax on each performance, from two dollars to twenty, according to its sitting capacity.

Manufactures exempt from taxation in accordance with the law passed several weeks ago.

Tax on ground coffee is retained.' The bill ordered printed and remitted, Mr. Schenck giving notico he would .bring the bill- back to the House within a week or ten d«ys.

Two or three day3 are desired for idcu?sion and amplest opportunity for the amendment and debate on all parts of the bill.

The substitute provides for a board of Commissioners to consist of Secretary of War, Secretary of the Interior and AN torney General to establish an annual tariff of prices for freight and passen* gera, provided it shall not take affect till there shall be a continuous line'of road completed and fft running order from Omaha to Sacramento.

Aft®' c6nfid$rab$ debate,during which several amlnftjtaefrits swore?! offered, OoVode made a remark touching the appointroont of- a Board of Commissioners, that if bo owned tho Pacific Railroad boJstould not .hfesitate'a moment if he wanted to charge exorbitant prices, he could buy three men cheaper than ho could bfcij'Nfro hundred. He had tried it on (Laughter) and knew what could be done with the head of a Department. He had acquited fcome kcolwtedge on the subject at this. session. The Heads of Departments were purchasable if members of Congress were and should know betterthan tne Representatives of the people what tho wants of the peoplo ^ere.

Mr. Elliott asked Covode what the average prices of members of the Cabinet wore, but got no roply.

Mr. Price moved thft previous question, which was seconded. Mr. Farnsworth's motion to recommit passed, 02 to G8.

This was adopetd, ye"a9 70, i^ay8 47.

Question recurred on tbe amendment offered by Mr. Clark, that the tariff shall not exceed double the average rates charged on different lines of Railroad be* tween the Mississippi river and Atlantic ocean, in latitudes north of St. Louis, which was agreed to without division, and the joint resolution-as amended passed, 30 to 29
