HORSE THIEF.—On Monday lafet Deputy Marshal Rowland arrested man who gavo his name at who had a hor£8 in his possoaslori, and '^as ducting himself in such a manner as to

give rise to tho belief that the animftl was stolen. The man and horso wore retained until yesterday, whon tho owner, Mr. T. M. Humphrey?, a resident of Montgomery county, this Slate, arrived and claimed the horse, taking it and tho thief back to Crawfordsvillo-- Officer Rowland pocketed the reward of one hundred do], lars, which had boon offered for the apprehension of the thief and recovery of tho horse.

IMPORTANT TO PENSIONERS.—An act was passed on tho 27th of Jnly last, declaring that all pension? shall commoner* from the date ol the death or discharge of the soldier. Many pensions wore commenced at tho tim_g of finishing tho last paper of the application, and sA the pensioner lost from one to two years of pay. All the.so pensions aro now made payablo fTom tho tinio of tho soldier's discharge or death, and tho arrears of such pensions can bo secured by proper application. Every ponsioner should *look at his or her certificate, and if it is dated at any time after the doath or discharge of the soldier, at once to some attorney and have the arrears collected,. r4:

TnE WATER WORKS.—Wo learn that the committee provided for, under the rosolution of the Council, to examine tho Water "Works at certain points in New York, will not proceed to discharge that duly at present, nor for a few weeks to come. On aroviewof tho magnitude of the undertaking, it wa3 suggested that a hasty examination would not answer any valuable end, and it is postponed till more tlmo shall be allowed tho comnait1. In due time, this committeo will proceed to make the, estimate expendi* ture, when it will be reported to the Council, and finally to the judgment of the citizens of Torre Haute. Nothing of this magnitude should bo done hastily, or without the full concurrence of the people of the city.

TIIK MASQUERADE given by.the young gentlemen of the Grand Arflriiy'-of the Republic at Dowling Hall, Thursday evening, was an eminently successful and pleasant gathering. The ball was well filled, but perhaps not more than oncfouth of those who attended, ware masked. This was a pleasing feature. There is that connected with a masquerade, even under the most rigid management, that sometimes gives rise to improper license and which would cause a blush were the mask removed. It would be far better were masquerades to give plaee^t© the more proper and elegant fancy-dress balls, where the gayest or most cbtnical personations c&n be given by the dancers without tho objectionable features of the masquerade. Our romarks have no reference to any improper conduct on this 00asion, which was inaugurated, conducted and managed throughout by the committee in most admirable style. In the costuming there was less of the fanciful and more of tho comical and grotesque, and the characters wore genoVally wel carried out. The music was in charge of Prof. Tout, to which the restless feet of the dancers kept time,unt|J the "night was seneecent and olden, and tho star dials hinted of morn." The cuisine part of the affair was entrusted to tho hands id Messrs. Hewitt & Myers, and, c|f ^.course, was not one whit behind tfco general lone of tho occasion. Wo but express the sentiment of all in attendance whou we say twas a pleasant affair. Wo are not informed of tho amount realized for the fund In aid of tho widows and orphans, for which tho party was giveii.^ I iff

THANKSGIVING DAY was observed in this city in the usual miscellaneous way Some people made the day one of rost, others kept on at their work a9 usual 801110 took their guns and went bunting, and a small fraction attended tho churches. Services ware h#ld in the Episcopal, Methodist, Firsi Presbyterian nnd Christian Churches and tho Congregational. Bapti.-t and Baldwin congregations united in union service at the house of the latter. The Banks, Court, Public Office* and Schools were suspended. The dry goods and several other stores wore closwhilo in the large majority of small retfiil shops trado and traffic we^T-on HE usual. The saloons kept open house, and appeared to do tho largest share of the

business. j. The day, especially out West, bat become one more of feasting than of thanksgiving, and the many complaints we heard yesterday distressed stomachs were proof that our community formed no exception. Our forefathers and mothers knew better than to expect human nbturo to be munificent in thanks on an empty stomach, ao they invented the thanksgiving dinn«r, shrewdly judging that even the most ungrateful would experience a glow that might pass for thagokfiilness after being staffed with ttirkly^ Ihd the usual accompaniments. ,"\Vc don't know who it was that first »ntro^»cei the turkey as the crowning glory of the thanksgiving feast. His name should have been preserved ^either in jam or in pickle).ted his memory toasted at every thanksgiving dinner—one of the tew. tho immortal names that were not boru to die with the thanksgiving turkey. What a terrible destruction there has been of tho turkey family the past wrek. We have thought, sometimes, that the turkeys theiiiselves appear to realise the importance of their position as thankpgivir.g approaehes.

Unobtrusive and retiring in their disposition for the most part during other seasons of the year, they swell np wjth importance and good feeding as the holiday approaches, and, give UB to underjit&i thear melodious language, oughly know how indispensable thoy are to our own happiness upon the grateful anniversary.

TH* Ladies' Aid Society kindly acknowledge (lie receipt of $36 30, contributed otr Union meeting of several churcKes on Thanksgiving Day.

Debtors with no assets have only until the first of January, 1809, in which to make application.

BBTS.—-In answer to repeated inquiries we will state that those Republicans who bet that somo one of the Republican States would give Grant as largo a majority as Kontucky would givo Seymour, have won. Tho official count shows that Massachusetts gives Grant 77,009. Ken­

tucky gives Soymour 70,320.^ JThose who bet on ten thousand majority for Grant Indiana, have lost, the Cincinnati Commercial to tho contrary nolwithstandng. Grant's majority in this State, as published in our paper last Thursday, is, •.573, not 10,072, as the Commercial per sists in stating it.

TOE NEW POST OFFICE was 'opered for business yesterday morning, the re moval having been accomplished the night previous, an expeditious feat for which Postmaster Read, his deputy and clerks are entitled to considerable credit. Tho internal arrangements of the building are not yet completed, but are rapidly becoming so, and then we shall have a post office that will be an ornament to the city, and a model for convenience and arrangement The delivery i3 fitted up with 250 lock boxes and 1,500 letter boxes. The latter will soon be increased to two thousand, amply sufficient for the wants of the city for many years to come.

CIRCUIT COURT.—The Jury in tho Nippert-Levan case after being out four hours yesterday returned a verdict finding for th3 plaintiff, (Nippert) against Henry C. Levan, and for J. Reichert, assignee against the plaintiff, and assess his damages at two hundred and fifty dollars. This was a decided victory for Nippert, the plaintiff, as the suit was to cancel a note payable in bank for twenty-seven hundred dollars and interest assigned to

Reichert. The case was very clcsely contested on both sides, and the array of counsel was extraordinary. Messrs. Baird and Cruft and Wm. Mack appeared for plaintiff, and Messrs. R. W. Thompson, Scott and Duy, Nelson and and Pierce and Voorhoes and Key for defendants. There are other cases pending between Nippert and Levan, growing out of the same transactions, but the case ju'st tried is regarded as the test case.

THE NEW RAILROAD.—Work on the now line,from this city to St. Louis is being prossecuted with great vigor and will probably proceed with greater rapidity than on any line .of railroad ever constructed in this Stati. At tho present rate it will not require many weeks to build the bridge over the river at this point the first pier will probably be completed to-dtfy. .Although not yet determined it is prbbablethat the road will be run near Danville, passing at a dictanco of half a mile. The exact route between that place and Greencastle is not yet decided on, but alter leaving the latter place its course is nearly an air line to Paris, Illinois, where a junction is made with the main line. The road crosses tho Evansville and Crawfordiville about nine miles above Torre Haute. The distance gained by the now route is a little more than ten miles. Tho road will ho of groat importance to this city, opening up as it does, new coal and iron distnets," besides giving additional transportation from those already developed.—

OUR MANUFACTORIES.

TnoacPsofr & KETES' HUB AND SPAKE FACTORY.—It is reaily a pleasure for 01 «e ^•|o feels an interest in oar growing city to stroll about the streets and mark the spirit of improvement that is visible every hand, and especially is it a pleasure to visit our manufacturing establishments —far too few—and hear the busy hum and clatter of machinery. Yesterday, for tho first time, we had the pleasure, under the guidance of Mr. Keyes, of a minute inspection of the novel and interesting machisery by which Messrs. Thompson & Key OP manufacture hubs, apoke3, felloes, plow handles and all bent work for carriages and wagons. Their manufactory is located on tho corner of First and Poplar streets, in tho building formerly known as the "Wallace Foundry." The building is 75 by 95 feet, two and a half stories high and is admirably adapted to the business f»r which it is now occii pied. It is filled with tho best machinery that can bo obtained, and is the most complete of any similar manufactory iD the State, except one at Indianapolis, and this excels in but one particular.

The machinery is such that cheap labor can be employed in nearly all departments, and in' this cheap wooden country they can easily compote with eastern manufacturers.— For instance, they have a machine for turning wagon hubs by which one man can turn out oighty set of wagon hubs a day, and with two other machinos two men can mortice the same number. A log ten foot in longth can be aken in at one door and in fifteen minutes pass out at another as finished hubs, ready for the market^-with the exception of kiln-drying and painting.

The machinery, worth from $25,000 to 5:30,000 is driven by an engine of fortyhorse power. It affords more power than is now required, but the proprietors deemed it wise and economy to erect such an engine so that machinery can constantly be added. They started three ar.d a half years ago with about half the present capacity. They expect by next summer to be doing one-third more work. Among other things they will add the manufacture of wheels complete. They now make all the woodwork of a wheel, and only lack putting it together.

Employment is given now to thirty men—two years hence they expect to afford employment to over two hundred.

Of course a considerable amount of timber is used. It is obtained in this mmediate vicinity, and it is no uncommon thing, especially on a Saturday af-

Besides tho manufacture of wagon and carriage material, they are engaged Largolv in manufacturing plow handles, and these tbey often fill in orders of twenty thousand. Mr. Keyes exhibited a machine for smoothing plow bundles— one of bis own invention—which works admirably and expeditiously tho han dies thus finished, giving, we are informed, better satisfaction than any others manufactured in the west. ,,The waste wood, beside that required for heating and for feeding tho engine furnace, amounts to four of fivo cords a week, and is sold cheap as p.tovn wood, dalivered anywLere in the city.

The establishment has capacity for turning out I ho wook-work for the wheels of eighty wagons and buggies, beside pknv-bandles and bent work in quantities to supply the demand. Their stock on hand does not appear to amount to anything, and yet we were told there was from fivo to ton thousand dollars' worth in the house. They have had the experience of all other new manufactories. The beginning was not as successful and prosperous as dosired, but they have altered and added the newest and b^st machinery, by which cheap labor can be employed, thus bringing down the cost. «o ffcnt now with a good margin of profit they can compete with any manufactory in the country.

In the above we have only given a few items in regard to the business carried on by Messrs. Thompson & Keyes. Our knowledge of machinery will not permit a detailed description of the many ingenious and complicated machines used. ""We want many mote such manufactories with just such energetic and enterprising men at the head of them, and giving employment to that class of the community VhiCb are the s'alvaiion of the country. Let manufactories be multiplied, for they are the true wealth of any city.

Thompson & Keys are determined to use the very best stock, and it pays to do so, as their order book shows. Tbey have orders often from one to four months ahead, so gieat is the demand for their work that they can not keep up with present facilities. Among other large unfilled orders wo were shown one from Topping & Brother, A.ton, 111?., for 2,700 sets of hubs and as many sets of spokes. A firm at St." Louis wanted 1,500 set of hubs, and so on. Much of the stock goes south, but the largest portion goes west to Illinois, Sf. Louis and even Western Missouri, where wood is scarce. Hence there ceems to be an actual necessity for such a manufactory right here on the western border of wooden country.t

FROM the statistics of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States in 18G8, published by authority of the church, we condense the following items of interest, showing tho condition of the church in the State of Indiana: North Indiana Conference, total membership 32,830 increase in 1868, 2,757 increase in 1867, 1,822, Southern Indiana Conference, total membership 22,839 increase in 18G8, 5,126. Northwest Indiana Conference, total membership 20,063 increase in 1S68, 2,047 in 1867, 344

Indiana Conference, total membership, 23,270. Owing to a change in the Conference boundaries, made by the last General Conference, there is a decrease in the membership of this Conference, as compared with 1807, of 464 but if the boundaries of 1867 had been retained, an increase of near 6,000 would be shown in the membership. These statistics show the total number of Methodists in In diaua to be ono hundred and four thousand aiid eight, with an increase during the year 1868 of about 16,924.

The increase rn the value of church property, the number of new churches, Sjnday schools, and benevolent cc-ntri nations for tho year 1868 has been proportionately large.
