A RUMOR was current yesterday that a child was suffocated at the circus Mondaj- evening, but we could not trace it to the cemetry. A mother who would take an infant In such a crowd deserves suffocation herself.

SPORTING.—A merchant on Main street last evening became so exasperated at the annoyance caused by martins on the top of the building, that he procured a lot of Roman candleB, and commenced popping away at them. Such singular fusilade naturally caused quite a commotion among the birds.

IT IS A COMFORT for our readers to know that Thatcher, the N. Y. prrophet, says the greatest heat of the summer has paes„ ed. The general belief that August is a hotter month than July is not borne out by facts, a3 the average temperature during August since 1824 has not exceeded 85°. During many years the average temperatureJuring August was 79. Since 1825 the hottest days of the year have occurred in July and the latter end of June-

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. One of the workmen at the Rolling Mill on Saturday morning last was seized with a fit, and failing across a red hot bar of iron passing through the rolls, was terribly burned on the face and side of his body. His inuries are are very severe, but it is thought he will recover. He is a young, unmarried man, and came to this city from Sharon, Ohio.

FAST BRICKLAYING —Yesterday noon couple of horses attatched to a wagon load of trick, took it into their heads to show the masonshow they could lay brick, and started at a furious rate from Sixth street up Main to the Terre Haute House,and thence up Seventh, to Eagle where they collided with a lamp post and were checked, without material damage, except to the brick, which were scattered along the entire line. It was an unusual and fearful sight to see them going at the ut. most speed, the brick flying in every direction. Vehicles and pedestrians gave them a wide berth.

WOMAN KILLED!—Tuesday night as the train on the Tndinrapolis road, due here at eleven o'clock, was approacning Brazil, it ran over a woman, tbo wheels severing an arm and a leg and otherwise mutilating the body in a horrible manner, causing, of course, immediate death.— The train was backed up to the spot, where was found another woman near the remains/, who was so intoxicated as to ba unable lo give an intelligible account of how her companion met her terrible death. Suspicions ar^ entertained that there was some foul play connected with the affair: that woman was killed and the dead body placed on track to cover up traces of the murder. Tlie m. st probable solution, however, i? that both woman Were prostitutes on a drunken debaaucb, and that the woman fell or was asleep on the track as the train passed. The remains were gathered up. and alter an investigation by a Coroner Jury, placed in a barrel! anil interred.

VOORHEES ACCEPTS—We learn that Judge Key received a dispatch from Dan. Voorhees, yesterday, in which that gentleman is pleased to state that he graciously accepts the honor of Congressional martjrdom, and that he will permit the faithful in these parts to gaze upon his majestic form immediately after the ad journment 9f that body which the Journa styles "the Rump Hell in Washington."— We are further informed—but cannot vouch for the truth of the statement—that Mr. Voorhees has condescended to inform the "friends'" who "denounced and utterly repudiated" him on the 8th inst., that he has looked upon their gastronomic feats in the line of humble pie, until his bowele of compassion, ..have been moved, and he is— now ready to let the transcendent light of his reconciled countenance cnce more illuminate their horizon. In short, be accepts their apology. This news has removed a terrible pressure from the minds and hearts of the ''denouncers'" and '-repadiators,'- and they begin to hold up their heads as of yore among their political brethren. We cannot too highly commend tho forgiving spirit displayed

Ly Daniel iu this instance. Few men of his political stature would so readily pardon malice that was carried to the extent of threatening "tar and feather.-" with the mercury at 100° 1

G. A. R.—The Journal says these in^ itials stand for "G-raat And Rum." Mi& taken again. CThey are understood to mean "Gobble All Rebels."

POST OFFICE.—We are informed it has certainly been determined to rcmovo the Po3t office toSixth street, the Department having acccptcd Mr. Beach's proposition

SKVKKAL BONES of human skeletons have been disinterred in excavating the cellar for the new Post Office buiiding,.an Sixth street, that spot having been used a3 tho iirat cemetery of this city.* At that early date it was away out in the country among tho hazle-brush. 1 jL\SL'VJ

EUGS-TRAORDINARY!—A few days since Mr. Wm. Jenkins, of this city, who is largely engaged in buying and shipping eggs, while counting a.lot, sav^v one a little pipped, and pushing his resrearehes farther, discovered nine other eggs of the the^ame character. He carefully wrapped them in cloths and laid them in the warm sun. The result is he novv ha= ten sprightly chickens, from the ten eggs

THE torchlight procession, composed of several hundred lights, carried by the brave and gallant White Boys in Blue, was one of the most imposing and brilliant spectacles ever wit.ii«sed in this city.—Journal. pnnro 2T£A

Yes, it was "imposing" on. all ideas of decency, to trot our infantile population about town with no chance for their usual allowance of lacteal nutriment from fonts maternal, and then dub tbedear innocents with the title of "White Boys in Blue Of course it was a "brilliant spectacle' with two or three hundred turpentine torches burning.

THE "TANNERS.''—The old wide awakes of Chicago are forming clubs under the name of "tanners," intending to do Grant'3 tanning this season as they did Lincoln's rail-splitting in 1860. Their uniform will consist of glazed cap, with red, white and blue bands, glazed capej leather apron, and torch with flag benring the names of Grant and Colfax. These can be procured of Klokke & Hand, Chi cago, for two dollars each. What do the Grant men of this city say to the organi. zation of a company of tanners in each ward

REVENUE MATTERS.—In consequence of the recent Act"of Congress, exenriptihg from taxation a large part of the manufacturers heretofore subject to assessments, by which the Internal Revenue will be greatly reduced, the Commissioner requested that a plan should be submitted for lessening the number of. Assistant Assessors in this District, and that the expenses attending the assessments may bo divided as far as the interests of the government will permit.

In pursuance to this request, the District Assessor, ilr. Farrington, suggested that the number of Assistant Asses3ojs in these Districts be reduced from eight to five, arranged as follows:

ATTACHING A FREIGHT TRAIN.—A short time since an enterprising resident of Brazil brought suit against the Torre Haute and Indianapolis railroad, for«K*me damage, the precise nature of which Weft re not advised, and obtained a judgment .— The company not answering the same a*, the moment, he caused the Sheriff to attach a train on the road to secure his pay. It was first proposed to attach a passenger train, but it was found that it would not do to stop a twin 'earring TncfeSrim's mail bags, and a freight train \TOs selected instead. Accordingly on Tuesday night the Sheriff of Clay county approached the freight tram on the Bmzil switch and passing a log chain through the driving wheel of the locomotive, locked it to the track. Superintendent Peddle telegraphed to attach instead, a lot of pig. iran at .the depot, more than enough to satisfy the= small claim, until the maWer wald be arranged: but no, ho was ordered to tako a train, and nothing less than a whole train would answer the writ in the Sheriff's hands. The trouble, however, was a short time arranged, IOH train was unlocked and allowed to proceed. Not a litcommolion was caused on the night passeBger train, coming west, by a report arising that the train was to be attacked each time the vrhiBtla scanded anxious heads popped eat to survey the situation ana the frightened passengers breathed asier on arriving at Brazil and learning ibe true state of affairs.

WOBKINO MEN'S MEETING.—The cal1 made in the papers for a meeting-of the working men of this city, to take into consideration the interest of tho working men and tho propriety of forming a work_ ing man's party, was responded to on Sat, urday evening, at the Court House, by large and full attendance of the working mon. Tho assemblage was composod al most entirely of mechanics and laboring men, aud a3 near as we could judge was about equally divided between those «tio have heretofore acted with the Republi can and tho Democratic parties. That there was no desire, outside a small handfull of sore-headed, disappointed officeseekers, to form a working man's ticket was plainly evident from the spirit of the meeting. Tha fact is there i3 no room in

The meeting on Saturday evening was slow In getting at work. No one seemed williDg to make tho initiatory movoment towards an organization. Finally, at near •nine ./clock, Mayor Cookerly called the meeting to order, by stating that they were thero for-tho purpose of forming a working men's association, hoped those assembled would give due consideration and keep* good order, and moved that Davies Johnson be called to the ohair. Tho motion was put, and notwithstanding it was voted down by a decided majority, His Honor declared the vote in the affirm ativo, and Mr. Johnson came forward and accopted the situation.

Samuel Conner called lot Arising vote, but Cookoriy decided Mr. had tho chair, whereupon Mr. J. B. Otey jumped to his feet and exclaimed that if this was a workingrnen's meeting ,he would like to see a workingman called to the chair asked, wiien did Davies Johnson perform day's labor in his lifB and wanted to know if there was not a working man in the assemblage fit to preside gThe. Chair explained that he had been raised on a farm and had followed va rious occupations in his life, but was willing to give way to any other person that might be selected to preside. ^Vt this point the confusion became worse confounded, and Conner m.ved to adjourn until after the Presidential election. The chair refused to put this motion, and stated all who whished to adjourn could do so, amid continued calls for "question, question

Some one suggested that Mr. Johnson was not properly in tho chair, and moved that Mr. Tim. Smith be called to preside, while Conner persistently demanded a vote on motion to adjourn.

Mayor Cookerly arose to mate an explanation. He said he had been requested by some gentlemen at the door to call the meeting to order, and in obedience to the request had named Johnson as Chairman. Conner called the Mayor to order. Tho Maj'or said tho gentleman had better come to order himsolf. At this poijit the confusion was indescribable. The voice of the Mayor, however, was heard obovo the din, proclaiming there must ho order In this meeting, else the strong arm-of the law would throw a shield around it. Still there was no order, nor was there any shield perceivable.

Conner again tfalled for hi3 motion to adjourn and was refused. James Hook would like to know if tbifi was an original meeting, or was it thj continuation of a series. The Chair said there had been several private meetings held before. Then, said JVIr. Hook, a voto of thanks should be returned to Mayor Cookerly for his valuable services in coming in and calling this mooting to order, as it appeared no mechanic was ca pable or willing to do so

AtJ:his point Mr. Johnson left the Chair in disgust. He considered himself out on short stop" and subsided something af-

ter the manner of tho boy who took a spanking, "because lie couldn't holp it." a 4

.THE Indiana Scheol Journal for August contains an article on the Indiana University, which gives a long history of the institution from its opening to the present time. We learn from this, that its financial prospects are increasing equally with its reputation. In 1860 the annual -income was $5,COO. It is now $20,000, while the number of students has more than doubled in the same time.

THE little gathering of the Democracy ia our Court House on Wednesday is spoken of by the Evansville Courier as "five thousand Democrats in council." We are glad to learn that we have so capacious and edifice for public meetings. As the room was not more than half filled on that occasion, it will accommodate ten thousand "Democrats in council," or, perhaps, an equal number of Republicans,

Louis, in five hours and thirtyone minntes. The run to Indianapolis, 73 miles, was made in one hour and thirty-three minutes. It was expected to make the entire run from St. Louis to Columbus, Ohio, 450 miles, inside of twelve hours. The excursionists were conveyed in two magnificent palace sleeping coaches. In going west they passed via Fort*Wayno in the same style.

DOG THIEVES.—A new class of thieves have appeared—dog thieves. A well trained bird dog will sell at this time of the year, at a p*:ce ranging from $50 to $100, among sportsmen. Within the past two or three weeks several valuable animals of this kind have been stolen from the city. It i3 supposed the thieves take the dogs to the prairies, where one of them will sell for as much money as a good horse A dog thief i3 as mean as a horse thief, and our sportsmen should chain up their animals and watch the thieves, and prepare to have them punished.

PROBABLY FATAL ACCIDENT!—Yesterday morning about nine o'clock, a young man named Clapsaddle, was run over at Eaglesfield by a freight train, crushing one arm so that it had to be amputated. He also received severe injuries on the head and side. Dr. Preston was immediately brought down from Gr'eencastle and performed the operation. The injuries are of such a nature that not much hope i3 entertained of saving the unfortunate man's life. He was about twenty-five years of age, resided at Putnamville, and was employed as a clerk for R. S. Hill & Co lumber dealers at Eaglesfield. The accident was caused while making what is termed a "running switch," and the young man was struck by a portion of the train while his back wa9 turned to it.

A NEW ENTETRISE—J. A. Footo has removed his Seed Store one door west, to the building recently burned and rebuilt, No. 65 Main street, which business he will still carry on, but as it does not afford employment f^r tbo entire year, he has added to it a very extensive and well assorted stock of Teas, Coffees, Sugar and Spices The attention c.f tho public is called lo tLis stock as it can be confidently asserted that it is superior to any in Terre Haute, and prices lower considering quality than can be founrt. dwtf

MOST BITTERS of the present day tha are loudly puffed through tho newspapers as having great tonic and curative properties are vile compounds and base impo sitions, containing no medical virtuos whatever,and are really very poor whisky beverages and, instead of acting as a stimulant and tonic, have a tendency to weaken the stomach by entirely destroying the coating. The public should therefore be very cautions, and purchase none but Robactc's Stomach Sitters, which have stood the test as a remedial agent for many years, and are really as their name indicate, a stomach bitters, and not a beverage. They combine the properties of the best tonic and a stimulant—a gentle laxative, an efficient anti-blllious agent and the beat stomachic known to the world, and, whon taken in conjunction with Roback's Blood Pills, are the safest and surest preventative against all billions dorangements, thoroughly regulating the whole system and giving tone to the digestive organs. ^$They are highly recommended as an invigorating tonic to mothers nursing, increasing the flow of milk, and for convalescents, to restore the prostration which always follows long-continaed sickness they are unsurpassed. No house* hold should consider themselves safe from the ordinary maladies without these invaluable medicines. They can be obtained of any druggist. jyll-dwlm
