THE McCoole-Goburn prize fight takes place to-day. Wonder if Terre Haute will be represented We learn a party of gentlemen have left our city en route for St. Louis via Odin and North Vernon. They may accidentally see the anticlpated "mill'1 as they swing around the circle.

:A TB«AVT FCALN like that of last evening is the «nly element that can dampen the ardor of jubilant Republicans. It was sufficient, however, to cause the Ratification Meeting to be postponed until io night, when it will take place*at the Court House Square. Huge piles of com* bustibles have been arranged for bonfires, good speakers secured, and Tout's Brass Bafid will enliven the eooasion. Come to the jubilee to-night. ViM fi.i j«{

MILLED BY LWHTNIKO.—Mr. Jacob Layher, butcher, and well-known German citiaen, was killed by lightning yesterday evening. He was down the country in search of cattle, when tbe storm coining on, he stopped in a farm house for shelter.

ANT one contemplating advertising, should read the card in another column of Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co., Advertising Agents, 40, Park Row, New York. This establishment is perhaps the most extensive one of the kind in the United States, and the very largo business they control enables them to secure for their customers most important advantages.

WESTWABD, Hoi—A procession of six wagons passed through the city yesterday morning,.on the road for a new home in tbe West. Two of the men walked in advance of the train, as proudly as the conquering heroes of an advancing army. The inevitable "yaller dog" followed at their heels. The "movers" came from Jackson township, Sullivan County, and consist of Johu Patton, Samuel Featherkile, Peter Welty and James Speneer, each accompanied with their families, twenty-seven people in all. All were of the Democratic persuasion, and bound for Chase county, Kansas. We hope after emerging from benighted Sullivan they may see the error of their way and vote for Grant and Colfax.

TSKBXBUB ACCISK&'T-—Daniel Stewart, engineer of the Indianapolis Rolling Mill Company1* Furnace, near Brazil, fell on the large fiy-wheel Monday morning and was instantly killed.

A BOBTOW paper credits Lufayotte with sixteen squares of Nicholson. Now it is p6int of honor with us to believe evsry thing we see in print, particularly in Boston, out this is a mistake. The statement had its origin in a joke. A literary gentleman from the hub, like most of the literati, near sighted and spectacled, spent a 4ay in LaFuyette last spring. Ho wan Outriding with a couple of ladies and was driven four timet round the public square, feg a little near-sighted and greatly absorbed in the two divinities who formed bis escoti, he was easily bamboozled into the belief that LaFayette had sixteen Squares of Nioolson. One of tho ladies remarked that it was a remarkable caso of fwWfyht—LaFayette Courier.

We are informed by Deputy Sheriff Charley Sandford, that one of the prisoners in the county jail attempted to commit suicide yesterday morning. The name of the would-be suicide is Samuel Delvel, and he is now under sentence to tho penitentiary for perjury.

Delvel tore up his blanket into strips, and doubling and fastening one end of tbese strips around his neck he commenced fastening tho other end to the iron raiitho corridor, The other prisoners seeing his object compelled him to desist? DiUvel says he Would much prefer death to being sent to tbe penitepti»rv, and tbgt he is determined to "shuffle off this iuortal coil" as soon as a proper opportunity is afforded hitn. He will probacy be taken to the penitentiary to day. —Mto Albany Commercial.

It was a proud day for Indiana—the proudest since Morton, in the Senate, delivered the greatest speech since the days of Wobiter and of Clay. Even New York, wedded to Fenton, the Christian statesman, could not withhold her earnest felicitation that the nomination lost to them should ha befallen upon one so worthy a» tbs patriot Colfax, next to Grant the most populsr man in tbe nation

The case is beautifully embellished with carvings representing the muses, music, authors, etc. It ha* a register of 7^ octaves, three strings to each tone, and agraffe all through. It is remarkable in the singing quality of its tone, its firm yet brilliant touch, as well as equability and sonority. The upper notes especially are unusually clear, dis* tinct and musical.

Nearly every article in the milt fur nishing line is manufactured on the prem ises, and for this purpose the establish' ment is supplied with an engine, the motive power of which is furnished by one of McClure & Ellis' patent boilers, (another Terre Hauti inventlen, manufactured by Mr. Wm. Clift, and of which wo make mention elsewhere.) There are also a tin und sheet iron shop, carpenter shop, witb planing machinery, lathes, etc. A force of twenty-two men is BOW employed, a&d before the season closes, the proprietors expect to increase the working force to seventy-five men. lAli Ill

They are filling orders from all parts of the country. Within a few days they have shipped to Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, and St. Louis. They now have contracts for putting up two mills in Ohio, two in Iowa, and four in Illinois, besides furnishing the greater part of tho supplies for tbe mills in this immediate vioinity.

Yesterday morning they shipped to Chicago one of their Combined Meal and Flour Kiln Elevator, Cooler and Grain Dryer, a patent for whlot was obtained last year by Bingham & Hunt. It is in use in several mills in this vicinity, giving tbe greatest satisfaction. ^Dry heal Is used, and the meal and gratia being always in motion, it does not scorch, and every particle is dried alike, and never sticks like on the Pan Kilns. The meal passes from the Heated Cylinder to a Blast Elevator and Cooler it takes it to the Bolt or Barrel perfectly dried and cool, in less than one minute without handling. Meal treated in this way has been shipped to all foreign ports—South America, Europe, and the West Iadiis— and in all instances has kept perfectly sweef. The kilns are portable, aii iron, and safe from fire as a parlor stove.

The capacity of this maohine far axcells any other machine in the quantity and quality of its work. It takes damp flour or meal, dries, elevates, cools and deposits in the bolt at a single operation. Musty wheat or corn ground and run through this machine loses all traces of must, and Sour flour is restored to its original sweetness.

A few steps to the weȣof the above eltabllshmeni is ni CLIFF'S BOILEE MAMtrrACTOBT,

Under the proprietorship of Mr. William Cliff, a superior mechani?, and possessed of indomitable energy aad perseverance. He has a large force of the best boiler makers in bis employ, sending them out in all directions to make repairs to boilers. He is now extensively engaged in supplying the demand lor McClure & Ellis' patent boilers, a recent invention by Mr. Clure, of this city. Mr. Cliff has already put up five of these boilers, and they are giving the greatest satisfaction. He shipped one to Iowa on Tuesday, one to Crawfordsville lost weak, and has one ready for Four Corners, Illinois, and orders are in for the manufacture of four others. These boilers excel all others in point of safety, economy of fue", durability and generation of steam, and besides they can be constructed much obeaper and put up more quickly than any other hind of boilers. They are certain to take the place gf the old-fashioned boiler, wherever their superior merits become known.

A Ctrmotra CUSTOM.'—The following curious custom of the Nestorian Christians, as related b£ the Rev. Arthur Bog dan, is commended to "the Serious attention of the youog gentlepe^ and ladies of our city, who propose to commit matrimony ''After the marriage ceremony haa been performed the wedding party Is taken in wagons from the church to the house of th*:. bridegroom's parents. When the seoond wagon, in which tbe brideia seated alone, reaches tho gate opening Into the yard in which the house Is situated, it is baited and the bridegroom's mother comes to meet it, with a baby and three suits of baby olothes in her arms. She throws the child aDd clothes into the arms of tbe bride, who is required to undress ang dress the baby three times, in tbe presence of her mother-in-law, who watches every movement as only a mother-In»law can watch a daughter-in-law. If tbe newly made bride does not perform the operation to the satisfaction of her sevore judge, she is considered unfit for the new position, the wagon is turned around and she is taken back home for farther instruction! and the poor bridegroom it compelled to live in single blessednesis until hfe wife is educated ap to the proper standard."
