FOUND DEAD.—Daniel Stinnet, one of t£ie oldest citizens of this county, having lived within the present corporate limits of Terre Haute, before it was a town, was found dead near the village of Centreville, this county, Sunday morning. He resided about two and a half miles from Centreville from which he was %een returning the evening previous in an intoxicated condition. Ho was found in a deep ditch at the roadside, and it is supposed that the fall caused his death. He wasabout seventy years of age, and leaves a large family, consisting of wile and several grown up sons and daughters.

THERE was a splendid turnout of the wideawake Republicans of Prairie Creek township, at Middletown, on Thursday evening, to hear Messrs. Muzzy, HaraiU ton and Rumsey, all of whom were pres-. ent and made most acccptable and appropriate speeches. Some few Democrats attended and are reported as "under conviction." ^1

This township will, we are assured, make a handsome increase on its October majority next Tuesday.

A POISONING CASK.—We learn from the Journal that Saturday evening a family living on North Third street were taken suddenly ill directly after eating supper. The symptoms were of a poisonous nature, and the sickness was attributed to some boef purchased at the lower market th*t day. There aro several per. sons in the family and they were all seriously attacked except the mother who did ndt eat any of the meat. We are glad to say that they all recovered.

THE ELECTION yesterday, passed with unusual quietness. Thero was no bustle or stir, no rowdyism and no disturbances of any kind. Everything was so quiet it seema difficult to realize tfeat throughout yeaterday, from sunrise to Bunset, the people of thirty-tour States, extending over the breadth of a vast continent, were declaring their choice for President and Vice President for four yoars to come.

INDIANAPOLIS AND ST. LOUIS RAILLOAD.—After a long and oppressive sN lence, we find the following in yester day's Indianapolis

Journal—by

which it

has certainly been determined to leave Terre Haute out in the cold. ^The Journal

says: ,. '. We are informed that the gap between this city and Paris, Illinois, on this important line of road, is to be closed up at the earliest practicable moment. During the past year surveys have been mtide between the points named, by three or four different routes—the shortest and least expensive of which Is the one running a short distance north of the present Terre Haute and Indianapolis road to the vicinity of Filmore, thence west, leaving Greencastle four miles to the south, until the dividing ridge between Raccoon and Otter creeks is reached thenfce on this divide in the direction of Paris, Illinois, going through the heart of the block coal region. We had hoped that when this road was built, D&nvillo would be made a point, and this, we learn, is only prevented by the increased distance and ex

$100,000—via Danville.—

The county of Hendricks and citizens of Danville should promptly raise this amount, or even more, if by so doing the location can be secured by Danville— Especially is this important, as the building of this road would supercede tho necessity of ever building the Indianapolis end of the Indianapolis and Indiana Central Road, a branch of the Evansville and Crawfordsville road to Monlezu-aa, supplying its place, and making as good, or abetter line to Decatur, Illinois. Tbe importance of this road, securing, as it will, cheap fuel to this city cannot be overestimated. "We have the test authority for saying that within the past few days arrangements havo been made in New York that secures the building of this road without delay.

A Masterly Speech I

Igo!

-v tf The extra train of the Eyansville Crawfordaville railroad, bearing fax, and large the counties along the .line south of this city arrived at 12:15 r.

neared the depot an artillery salute was fired by Capt. Alio way's gun squad, and fine music was discoursed by Prof. Tout's band. Tbe Craitt fef the Evansville & Cratffordsvitle railway was ornamented with flags and evergreens and prssented a fine appearance. On arrival at the depot Mr. Colfax was met by the Committee of Reception, heretofore appointed,Acon8is{-

Cruft, John P. Baird, W. K. Edwards, L. Ryce, W. B. Warren, H. Ross, L. A. Burnett, of this city, George K. Steele, of Parke, Sewell Coulson, of Sullivan, and Wm, P. Dole, of Paris, Ills.

Mr. Colfax was received by the crowd with prolonged cheers and great enthusiasm, ana soon entered a carriage, and was escorted to the Terre Haute House by a detachment p£-lhaSullivan Fighting Boys in Blue, anil aAarge^oi^lurttf ^^cftizens preceded by Tout's band.

At 1$ p. M. a detachment of Col. Gilmore's battalion of Fighting Boys escorted tiie speaker to the Cd^B|)^ a^Me, where a large crowd bad already assembled. Col. R. W. Thompson called the meeting to order, and introduc^d .Mr. Golfax, who piroceeded -(io-'miie one of ^the most stirring and eloquent speeches we have listened to during the campaign. We regret th».% pur spg^j dftesjoot permit us to give a full report of it.

It was a highly eloquent, logicat ana effective speech and held the large audi-ence.far-the space o^ twoihbiirs -n&twitiistanding the raw and chilly character of the day. Mr. Colfax discussed all the great political issues^of £^e times lh a mastetly manner and to the approbation of his audience only turning aside from the business in hands, for a few moments, to refute some of the fabetMO^ feeehtly circulated by the opposition press in regard to himself. His speech was full of hope and confidence in the reeult.of next Tuesday's work at the ballot-box. The eloquent orator was constantly interrupted with shouts of applause and, judging from the approbation of the audience, there has seldomf been a political speech made in our city which has been better received and which has given more satisfaction to all. A large portion of the audience was from the surrounding coun* try and comprised many of the leading men of the various neighborhoods. It was unfortunate that the dky was Chilly and unpleasant, but*nbtwithstanding this the audience was. the largest we have seen in our Court House Square. A large train was brought in by the Evansville and Crawfordsville Railroad, from RockyUtej filled with oitiee^ftf .Parke. The meeting Was ^entirely free from the external display which usually attends such gatherings, and was a fine tribute to Mr. Colfax of the esteem in which he is held by the citizens of this portion of our State.

Mr. Colfax left for his home, by the Indianapolis train at 4:50 p. M., thus making but a short itay in our cfity-^ During the brief time he was here, hundreds of citizens paid their respects to him by personally calling upon him at his hotel, all of whom he was exceedingly glad to meet, and he left Terre Haute expressing the moBt favorable impression! of our &ty and p&fa#*

Jour-

that the Auditor of State drew two warrants on Saturday, one on the Saline Fund principal, for $34,323 89, and one on the Bank Tax for $24,636 38 both for the benefit of the School Fund. The Saline

Fund is the proceeds of the saline lands of Orange county, from the organization of the State to a few years since, when the lands were sold. The fund was formerly distributed to the counties in proportion to the number of voters, but in 1853 this was stopped, and the money, was put on interest for the benefit of the School Fund. In 1867 it was enacted that the fund should be closed and merged into the School Fund_ There are still two or' three 'thousand dollars out in loans, which will be collected and paid over as fast as

ADVICES FROM MADRID.

A Madrid special says news from AliCautf, Barcelona, Seville and Cadiz, annOunco that most of the Bhops and manufactories in these cities havo been closed. ,,f /1.

The working men deprived of labor are becoming restless and boisterous, and the fear of a general riot all over the country causes great uneasiness to the provisional Government

Tbe loan of ten million reals, one hundred and seventy thousand dollars,opened for the relief of the working men has not been entirely subscribed.

Tho social question assumes here the same aspect as in Paris in 1848, and socialist clubs are forming all over Paris.

HV SPECIAL FROM PARIS. A Paris special says M. Ratazzi, formerly minister of foreign affairs at Florence is actually at Paris.

His mission, although a secret one, is said to relate te the evacuation of Rome by the French troops.

He is, if successful, to be placed again at tbe head of the Italian Cabinet. THE ELECTION.

A beautiful day, voting rapidly.f Jf About half the registered vote ot the city was polled at 10 o'clock, and indications favor over 160,000 votes will be polled.

No disturbances and few arrests. In Brooklyn about two-thirds of the registered vote had been

4cast

at 10

o'clock total vote will exceed 65,000. Of courso both cities give immense Democratic majorities, and the size of tbe vote favors tbe success of all their regular Congressional candidates

Tram and Savage, however, are polling a large Irish vote in the 5th and 9th Districts.

The voting is progressing quietly. In Jersey City a heavy vote is being thrown, but few arrests.

The young Crown Prince of the Netherlands, who is soon to be married to the young Princess of Hanover, is said to be a naughty young man of the most pronounced type, compared with whom Wales and young Humbert are models of propriety. A gentleman writing from "Vienna says: "I saw the Princess yesterday—a very pretty, modest, intelligentlooking girl. Two weeks ago I saw the young gentleman who is to be her husband, and, knowing both of them, I can not but pity the young lady, though a dower of a million of dollars and a royal thrOne awaits her. If her- heart will not be broken within a few weeks after her wedding, and if she will not then envy the fate of the poor but happy wives of tbe fishermen of Amsterdam, I must be 9eriouslv mistaken. I used to sympaihize with her blind and dethroned father, and with her mother, whose hair has grown so prematurely gray but since I know that they can sacrifice their lovely daughter in such a ruthless manner (for they are well aware of the character of the husband whom they have selected for her), all my compassion is gone and I believe now what the Prussians say, namely, that the exKing of Hanover fully deserves the fate which has befallen bim, and that he is a

our apoona are something more

than little flat bowls with handler, and our forks must have other attractions than their prongs. The public demands that table furniture should be ornamental as well as ipaftil-^that taste and beauty of design'should accompany excellence of workmanship. All 'thes^ are points in which the Gorham Company are admitted to excel all other makers. Their epergnes and various centrepieces and other ornamental work are marvels of beauty and elegance. Jabez Gorham began working in silver nearly forty years ago, and the site of the honest workman's bench has now become an immense man* ufactory, employing ovir four hundred men. Artists make designs that only other artists can mould apd other artists finish and the result is that united beaus ty and utility which gives domestic appointments an air of culture and refinement. The Gorham Company ua«t only the best materials, employs only the best workmen, and of course produces only the best work but to all this it adds that crowning grace of refined taste that adds so much value to whatever it touches.— Everything bearing their trade-m&fk can be relied upon. 4dwlt.
