BUNAWAT.—A very sensible horse took it into his head to run away yesterday.— He was not mad, and did not appear to desire to do any harm but he just wanted a race, and ho had it. He had a light express wagon at his heels, the streets were crowded with teams, and it was amusing to see with what care he steered around them. He even looked right and left at the crossings to see if there was danger of a collision with persons or things thera and when he arrived near the corner of Ohio and Third streets, he stopped of his own volition and looked around as if ask—'"Didn't I do that well

MESSRS. OWXN AND MCFALL, of Prof. Tout's Brass Band, returned to the city last evening from a visit to Greene county, wlioro with the members of tho Band of the old 24th Indiana, they played for the speaking appointments of Gov. Baker and Major Carter at Linton Saturday afternoon, and at Worthington in the evening of tho same day. At each place immense audiences were in attendance. A pleasing feature of the occasion was the appearances of a Glee Club, composed of ladies and gentlemen, seated in a mag* nificont wagon drawn by ten horses.
REPUBLICAN MEETING.—The meeting at Chapin's Mill, Otter Creek township, Monday afternoon was not very numerously attended, many of the people of the neighborhood having gone to a large auction sale not far distant. General George K. Steele made an interesting and effective speech, and was followed by several others, among whom were Messrs. Turner, Filbeck and Chapin. The meeting adjourned until the first Friday in September, when a grand basket picnic will be held. The "Fighting Boys" of the township will be out in force. Good speeches and music will be provided, and "all tho world" will be invited.

JOINT DISCUSION DECLINED
The Democratic press of this diatric has been indulging in prophecies of the manner in which Mr. Yoorhees would extinguish Major Carter on'the stump in a joint canvass. Strange to say, however, Mr. Voorhees declines to hold a joinfc canvass. We have been furnished with the following correspondence whi^h explains itself, and shows that Mr. Yor.rhees was duly offered the gage and refused to accept it:
BOWLING GREEN, INP 1 Aug. 1.18C8.
Hon. D. W. Voorhees, TVrre Haule, Ind: Dear Sir:—Favoring a lree and full discussion, before the people, of the great questions involved in this political contest, I respectfully propose, that we, as opposing candidates for Congress, in this District, make a joint canvass of the same.
I will be pleased to meet, and confer with you, at any time and place you may designate, for the purpose of perfecting an arrangement for the canvass. n*
You
will please transmit your answer
to this, through the gentleman who hands you the same. Yery truly yours, W. W. CARTER.?*
TERRB HAUTE, IND.. Aug. 10, 1868. Mr DEAR SIR: Your letter of the yesterday, in relation to a joint canvass was received.
I leave, this morning, on the early train, accompanied by my family physician to attend the bed-side of a sick daughter, who is absent from her home.
When I can return to the District is involved in doubt and uncertainty. You have already canvassed a portion of the District,
The time left me till the election is limited, and my canvass must necessarily bo brief and irregular. Under the circumstances should I enter into an agreement for a joint canvass, I would be liable to be called away—and unable to fill some of the appointments. I therefore, decline the oner—and beg of you to receive this ae final upon the subject.
With the highest respect, I remain, Your ob't serv't, D. ,7. YOOKHEES. Maj. W W. CASTER.
TOTE BAKU'S failed to appear before the Mayor, for trial, on Saturday.
SWEET POTATOES, appeared in market, Saturday, at tho uneatable rate of four dollars per bushel.
THE GRANT .CLUB meets Thursday night of this week. Rev. C. A. Brooke will deliver an address.
FLOUR has advanced one dollar on the barrel, retailing in this market at $11 for new and $12 for old.
A SICK WOMAN sent her child to one of our drug stores, Saturday, for five cent'? worth of puke medicine.
WHEAT was selling at $1.90 Saturday This was the highest figure offered, although $2.00 was paid for lots engaged several days ago.
SATURDAY, was a busy day among our merchants, grain buyers and shippers.— The streets presented a scene of life and activity pot .witnessed for several weeks Dull times are retiring rapidly.
1 1
A MEETINO will be held at tbe Honey Creek township House, Thursday night of this weelr, to pCrfect'the organization of the Grant Troopers. Speeches will be made by Hon. E. Hamilton, and P. B. O'Reilly, Esq.
MATRIM0NIAL.-^-Only two pairs had the courage to apply to the County Clerk, last week, for the proper permit to perpetrate matrimony. The names are: Hiram Griffin and Malinda Mullen. Emanuel Yonskee and Fransiska Burcivia.
RUN OVER.—Saturday evening, a small boy, named Adams, was run over, at the corner of Fourth and Ohio streets, by a man seated in a buggy. He was driving at a furious rate, and did not take the trouble to stop and ascertain the injury to the boy, which consisted of the crushing of two toee.
There is entirely too much of this rapid driving through our streets, and a few examples should be made, to show that pedestrians hav£ 4orae rights, which drivers of vehicles are bound to respect.
THE CUCUMBER SEASON.—Cucumbers are eagerly sought after at this season of the year. A celebrated surgeon contributes the following excellent recipe for their preparation "Peel it, slico it down into pieces, cutting them very thin, put on vinegar (cider vinegar is tho best,) pepper it well, and then raise the window and pitch it into the street." This, probably, is tho best advice that can be given in reference to the manner of using it.— Almost entirely devoid of any alimentary principle, the only possible motive that can be assigned for eating the cucumber is merely the gratification of the palate—to the nourishment of tho body it is totally unadapted.
THE SEYMOUR AND BLAIR CLUB, with a torchlight procession, some music and more noise, managed to draw out a very respectable audience, in numbers, Saturday evening. Harangues were made by Messrs. Mack, Dowling and Cookerly, in the usual style of these well known speakers, nothing new being elicited. The torch-light procession numbered one hundred and eleven torches, which was doing well had it been, as represented, composed only of voters in the Fourth Ward but persons were seen in the ranks from about every Ward in the city—even Samuel Hull, the candidate for County Treasurer, a resident of the Third Ward, helped swell the numbers by carrying a torch.
THE -MEETING at the Lost Creek Township House, Friday evening, drew out a large audience. Col. Jno. P. Baird made a strong, effective, and interesting speech, at the close of which a Grant and Colfax Club was organized. The initiatory steps were also taken toward the organization of a company of Fighting Boys in Blue. The Republicans of Lost Creek are now going to work in earnest. A picnic meeting will shortly be held, at which time they are promised a speech by Major Carter.
PROSPECTS FOR THE FALL TRADE.— "Old wheat" is good, but new wheat just now, is a power in the land. New wheat, golden, plump, abundant, emblem of life, vigor and strength, pouring into the granaries of our shipping merchants, gladdens the hearts of merchant, mechanic and farmer, and Us genial influence is felt in every department of trade Already the bu|iness of our citj* has received an impetus, and the long faces of our business men, £how a visible contraction.— There is no doubt but the wheal cropjust harvested, is the largest with which our country has been blessed for many years. The corn crop will be a splendid one. an^ farmers will have plenty of money to spend. Many have been living along from hand to mouth, and avoiding, so far as possible, the purchase of articles which were not indispensable, during the yoars of poor crops which hav* passed. Old dresses have been made over, old coats darned, and turned, and patched, old hats triarie to household supplies 'bought in small quantities, just to supply the im mediate-want, and overy thing doue with the most pinching economy. Now, however, the hearts of tbe farmers are glad. Plenty again rewards their exertions.— The abundant yield of this bountiful year will enable them not only to supply all the deficiencies caused by successive years of failure, but to lay bf many a penny for a rainy day. The entire "cleaning out' of the farmer's stock of supplies will necessarily make trade unusually brisk this fall. The empty larders must be replenished, worn out olothing replaced by new, many articles of comfort and luxury which hard times have placed beyond their reach, procured. These things must be supplied by somebody—somebody mnst sell them. The wide-awake tradesman will not fail to "hang his banner on the outer wall," and secure his proportion, at least, of this immense trade. With a good sale in all departments of business, and plenty of money, the financial pressure at present existing, will be removed the load will be lifted from the mind of the over-burdened merchant, and with the election of Grant and Colfax, the country will indeed receive a new baptism of life and strength.

ARTESIAN BATHS.—Strangers visiting our city spe&k in terms of highest commendation of our Artesian Baths. Gentlemen who have visited the most celebrated watering places in Europe, express the opinion that no baths which they have ever enjoyed are superior to these, for all the purposes for which such luxuries are required. The managers of our baths have placed them at so low a price that no ono need be deprived of their healthful and invigorating influence.
FIGHTING BOYS IN SUGAR CREEK On Thursday evening somo fifty or sixty soldiers of Sugar Creek Township mot at the Township House and madb preliminary arrangement for the organization of a Club of Mounted Fighting Boys in Blue, Another meeting will be held next Thursday night -the Soth—when thai organization will be perfected f»y the Section of officers. On that occasion Colonel Wm. E. McLean has consented to be present and address the meeting. "The Boys" of Sugar 'Creek afre preparing for a grand charge on the enemy's lines. 's
a"~"7
C. W. Barbour, Esq., followed, ocupying half an hour in aT^atriotic and elo« quent speech. Messrs. Turner, Filbeck and Rankin, spoke briefly. Arrangements were made for the^ organization of a "Tanner's Club," and an adjournment was had uutil Thursday night, of this week, when the organization, will be per* fected, and on which occasion Col. Wm. E. McLean will be present, and a good speech may be expected from him.
FEMALE COLLEGE.—It is with pleasure that we announce the fact already known to many of our citizens that a movement has been inaugurated for the establishment of a Female College of tho highest order in our city. To this enterprise has been secured subscriptions for the purchase of a property suitable for such pur_ poses the sum of twenty thousand dollars and the pledge of one hundred thousand dollars for "its endowment. Those entrusted with this matter feel that an opportunity should be presented to all our citizens to contribute to this noble enterprise. This movement has the confidence and material support of our leading and influential citizens.
While therefore the Rev. Mr. Morrison is operating now outside of our city, the work of soliciting subscribers here has been committed to Prof. Byers, well known as Principal of one of W City Schools. There are several reasoua which address themselves to every citizen to cooperate with and support this .noble movement. The first is that it wilf advice the value of property by inviting- peisons to our city to settle with a View-M the education of their daughters in "such an institution, and the second is that to your homes is thereby brought th'e adfaft^r^ of the highest class of instruction,.
We trust that the cornmimUj' will respond to Pief. Byers with a measure of liberality such as will caus& the success of this movement. We are sure it must succeed

THE OLD COUPONS AT WORK I—The best lesson of the campaign is exhibited in the speaker's stand erected yesterday by the Radicals in the public square. It is the contribution of the bondlords to the radical cause. It is a very fine and costly affair, and could only bo afforded by a party containing all tho monoy-kings of the country. It is a fit emblem of radicalism —money and rich men against labor and the Democratic working people.—Journal.
The Democracy erected a rickoty stand on the east side of tho Court House and proposed to tho Republicans to use it in common, on payment of half the expenses of its erection, which was stated to be thirty dollars Tho Republicans" could see no thirty dollars in tho affair, and erected the large and substantial stand above referred to at & less cost Hence the Journal's spleen. ^rxi,

THE WATER QUESTION.- At the pri. vate meeting of a few of our leading citizens held at tbe Terre Haute House Thursday evening, a Committee consisting of Messrs. Oi R. PeddJoj. Wm. J.Bali. Richard Strout, T. E. Lawes. and S. Allen, were appointed to report to^ citizens meeting, hereafter to be called, a plan for supplying the city w,ith water.— Among tho plans suggested^are the pumping of water from the river with a stationary engine the sinking of wells in the upper part of the city from which water will be drawn into a reservoir, and to convey water from Eel river through pipes. ..
REPUBLICAN MEETING IN SUGAR CREEK.—Owing to the fact that a meet ing had been held on the previous evening and that several threshing machines were in operation in tho neighborhood, occupying the time of many voters, there was not a very large attendance at tl\e meeting in Sugar Creek township Friday. It was, however, respectable in point of numbers, and for enthusiasm it has not been surpassed by any of the laiger meetings of the campaign. Isaac N. Pierce, Esq., made" a short speech, touching upon a few of the moro prominent questions involved in the canvass.

Auos KEATER, says the Indianapolis Evening Commercial, who lived in the southwestern part of the city, near the bT&ff beloWthe n#w rolling mill, was killed yesterday afternoon, by a couple of ladies, whom he had grossly insulted. They were near an open window when he came along, one of them wiping a carving knife. He was singing an impertinent song, which they pretended not to .hear but a moment after he rushed in at the open door and essayed an unwarrantable liberx ty with the person of one of tbe ladies, biting her on the neck, whereupon the two turned upon and killed him. That's pretty good for the Commercial. Amos Keater! Guess he was presenting a bill..

He was taken before Justice Mower, by whom he was committed in the sum of five thousand dollars to answer the crime of forgery at the bar of the Circuit Court.
WE learn from the Evansville Journal that on Saturday evening last two men went out turkey hunting, in Sullivan county, near Shelborne, neither knowing the other was out.

He took fair aim and firedf Upon approaching the {spot he discovered that he had shot Daniel Bush fair through the head, killing him instantly. A Coroner's inquest was held, and a verdict returned, "Killed for a turkey." We could not learn the name of the man who shot him1, ywjii
DECLINED. Major Carter, Radical candidate for Congress in the Terre Haute District, challenged Mr. Voorhees, the Democratic candidate, for a joint discussion, which Voorhees declined to accept* Nobody need bo astonished at this. Voorhees is namatch for Carter on the alum p. Tlie brilliant Carter would wind Daniel around bis little finger in a twinkling and demolish him' in a breath. Voorhees is wise to decline meeting the, Radical giant. So wa suppose Radical papers will say.— One of the last resorts of horse Radical orr atot^ to get crowc^ i-j to challenge their disponents to "joiht decuslions."

THE city of Vincennes, Knox county, is to hare the beat and lineal Court House in the state. !,
uons. is A--At about ten o'clock Nelson St. Clair, Esq., called the assemblage to order, and on his motion Hon. E. Hamilton was made President of the day: The Baud played an appropriate selection and Honey Creek Township Glee Club gave a song which was enthusiastically encored.
Mr. Hamilton then proceeded with a speech of some forty minutes, in which he thoroughly reviewed the record of the Democratic party, handling that delicate organization without gloves, very much as a surgeon handles a "subject", in a dissection. I
The President next introduced tsaac N. Pierce, Esq., our next Representative in the General Assembly of Indiana, who occupied more than an hour in a masterly review of Democratic charges against Congressional legislation upon the subject of Reconstruction. He clearly demonstrated the imperative necessity of the several Reconstruction acts and proved that such necessity had originated in Democratic opposition to every measure proposed for the adjustment of our( national difficulties on a loyal basis.
At the close of Mr. Pierce's address, and after the applause had subsided, the Band gave one or two pieces and the Glee Club again enlivened tbe scene with another instalment from their..exhaustless supply of patriotic songs,
A recess was then taken for dinner, which was found in unlimited supply in the capacious, well stocked baskets "of the good ladies of Honey Creek.
During the recess the Martial Band called the soldiers together at some distance from the crowd, where a company of "Grant Troopers" was organized, one hundred and seven men signing their names to the rolls. The following efficers of the Troop were elected
Samuel M.-Crandel, Captain. John G. Lee, First Lieutenant. Samuel Jones, Second Lieutenant. Richard Sparks, Q. M. Sergeant.
Uaps and blouses were adopted as the uniform of the Troopers. The work of organization beingj effected in the most spirited manner the company adjourned with three cheers for Grant, Colfax and the State, District and County tickets, and the boys proceeded back to the main body, keeping step to the music of the Union" as discoursed

One of the beat meetings* in this county thus far during the campaign occurred Thursday in the grov near Mount ZIon Church, Honey Creek Township.— Early in the morning Prof wsor Tout's Band, accompanied by a considerable delegation of our citizens, started for the place of meeting.

Major Carter took occasion during his address, to review the record of D. W Voorhees in which review he showed what few will have the effrontery to question, that Voorhees had given all the aid and sympathy to the rebel cause, that any man could have given, who did not go, personally, into the rebel army. He admitted that Voorhees always voted for increase of pay to the soldiers, and for appropriations intended to benefit the soldiers. But while he did this, be was careful not to vote for any measure inn tended to raise the money required by the Government, and used every possible endeavor, at all times, and in all places, to destroy the credit of the Government,
Major Carter's speech gave entire satis faction to the vast audience, who listened attentively to every word he uttered, and at its conclusion, he was saluted with round of most hearty cheers.
At this point, a variety of music was nterspersed, after which Col. John P. Baird closed the speaking with a brief, but telling examination of the tax question, and an eloquent eulogy upon tbe military career of Major Carter.
At the conclusion of the remark# 6f Col. Baird, the crowd adjourned to meet at tbe Township House next Thursday night, at which time good speakers and music will be present and another good time will undoubtedly be had.
The demonstration of yesterday was, in all respects, a most gratifying success and reflected great credit upon the Union people of Honey Creek. The most perfect order was observed throughout the meeting, the efficient Marshal of the Day hav ing perfeoted such arrangement* as insured this desirable feature of all great public gatherings?

Buzz.—The activity displayed in the building line, this season, is ttufy wonderful. A little. wafe about town will show that the building and improvements are confined to no particular locality, but are going forward all over town. Business houses, and private houses, big houses and little houses—all kinds, shapes, sizes and Btyles, are springing up everywhere. No Indiana City, can compete with the Prairie City, in this respect. With all this apparent prosperity, however, we are lacking in one particular—manufacturing establishments. Our people must turn their attention in this direction, if permanent aad continued prosperity would he iaIQrAfi. .'4 tat- .-.-3 .T? 11. v.

THE meeting last night wae creditable, but as compared with the magnificent meeting of hut Saturday night was a mis erable failure.—Journal.
We give the above opening extract from the JoumaV* report of the Carter demonstration, the benefit of our large circulation, in order that our readers may have an opportunity of seeing a specimen of the downright falsehood and misrepresentation resorted to by that sheet to save the sinking fortunes of its party Comment is unnecessary. We leave an intelligent community to determine the truth of the JournaFs statement above quoted.
UNION MEETING AT PRAIRIETON.—The Republicans of Prairieton, in good numbers, turned out Wednesday to hear speeches from the candidates for county offices. Isaac' N. Pierce led off in a long, candid and effective argument in which he thoroughly vindicated the Republican party and justified its claim to continued ascendency in the Government which its devoted partriotism saved from assaults. Hon. E. Ham. ilton followed in a characteristically elo quent speech. Messrs. Rumaey, Turner Rankin and Filbeck each occupied a few minutes to the manifest acceptance of the audience.
Initiatory steps were taken for the organization of a "Tanners' Club, which organization will be perfected at an adjourned meeting on the first Saturday in September.
Messrs. G. W. Walls, G. W. Dickerson Bradford Hale and M. Hoggalt were chosen a committee on organization and ordered to report to the next meeting^
MEN OF OUR DAY.—Mr. Henry Green await is now canvassing this city fur book bearing thiq title, from the pen of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. We need scarcely »o mention Mrs. Stowe's name as a recommendation for any book she may write. The readers of her "Uncle Tom Cabin," and the admirers of her graphic incisive, picturesque and witty art of put ting things will always welcome a new volume from her whenever it is publish ed. A glance at the contents of this book will show thet it has been carefully pre. pared, with a view to permanent refer ence. The biographies embrace those of Lincoln, Grant, Garrison, Sumner, Chasei Wilson, Greeley, Farragut, Andrew, Col fax, Stanton, Douglass, Buckingham Sherman, Howard, Phillips and Beecher with very excellent engravings of them executed by Ritchie, and are dedicated "to the young men of America." With many of these men Mrs. Stowe was inti mately connected in the days of the Anti Slavery struggles. She was therefore in a position to know of what she was writing and to judge correctly of their motives. In respect to the remainder, she has sought her material from authentic sources, and has woven it together in very reliable manner. Her estimates of character are remarkable for insight.
We bespeak for Mr. Greenawalt a cor dial reception, wherever he presents this interesting and valuable book/ ijin
ADVICE THAT SHOULD BE HEEDED.— We desire to call tbe attention of the afflicted to the merits of Roback's Blood Pills a purely vegetable cathartic, free from mercury and all mineral poisons, and undoubtedly the best remedy extant for the radical cure of nervous and sich head ache, bilious disorders and all affections of the Liver and Blood. They are, their name indicates, a JBloodPill they search the blood for disease and strike the very root, thereby effecting not tern porary but permanent cures. As a purga tive, they are all that can be desired, being mild and safe in their operation and unquestionably one of our most satisfac tory Cathartic Pills, and should be kept in every household, and, when taken in conjunction with Roback's Blood Purifier, are unequaled for curing Scrofula, Skin Disease, Old Sores, Salt Rheum, Dyspep sla, Erysipelas, Tumors, Eruptions, and all diseases arising from a disordered state of the system. Try these medicines and you will never regret it. Ask those who ,have used them, and they will tell yon they are the best of medicines.' r? augll-dwlm
SPEER'S STANDARD WINE BITTERS is highly recommended by physi cians for Dyspeptics, on account of its tonic properties, its purity, and its delicious flavor. augl5-dw3m.
THE DIFFERENCE.—One of the chief points of if re be iv a barbarous mankind is in the attention given to the natural covering for the head the one being carefully cut, cleansed and brushed, and the other allowed to remain dirty and unkempt. The use of "Bar rett's Vegetable Hair Restorative" will ensure all that could be desired by civilization or ignored by barbarism.—Boston Post., \i„ 12-dwlw
