one is told on one of our city physicians who was recently called to see tho sick child of a worthy Irish woman. The doctor is not merely a good practical physician, but abounds in professional technicalities. After all due manipulations and inspections, the doctor gave tbo anxious mother in detail, all tho predisposing «nd proximate causes, and tho nosological appellation of tho difease, and descanted profoundly on the modus operandi of thorapeutic agencies for its removal, and with pharmaceutic precision designated the remedial programme. The admiring listener gave rapt'attnntion but as the doctor look bin hat to leave, sho remarked that "she had been much interorted in his pleasing discourse, but pray doctor, before you go don't forget to tell mo what ails the babv, anil what I'll be afthur do'n for it."

of a little fun and amusement at homo, good reader. Don't shut you house lest tho sun should fade your carpets, lest a hearty laugh should shake down some of tbe old cobwebs there and dust the shelves of dark and solemn recollections. If you want to ruin your sons, let them think that all mirth and social enjoyment must bo left at the threshold without, when they come at night. When a home is regarded only as place to eat, drink and sleep, and that stern gravity and silence are only fit spirits there, the work is begun that ends in gambling houses and recklesB degradation.

Young people must havo relaxation and amusement somewhere and if they do not find them at their own hearthtones, they will be sought at other and less profitable places. Therefore, let the tl re burn brightly at night and make the homestead delightful with all those little arts which parents generally so perfectly understand. Don't repress the buoyant pirits of your children half an hour of merriment around tbe lamp and firelight »f home blots out tbe remembrance of many a care and annoyance of the day.

NICHOLSON PAVEMENT.—At

the meet­

ing of the City Council thia evening, the nuestion of paving Main street with the Nicholson pavement will bo considered. it having been brought before that body at the Inst meeting, on the petition of a largo iiitijority of the propertj' holders fronting on Main street. Por the amount of wear on that street, it is certainly preferable to any pavement now in us*, and wo hope if favorably considered, prompt action will be taken in order that whoever may be contractors can secure tho necessary material and have it on the ground early in tho spring.

As the Nicholson is unknown to many of our citizens we will explain its construction. In the first place a foundation is prepared with gravel. Over this is laid pine planks, one inch thick, running length wis» with the street. The planks are well saturated with coal tar. Upon this foundation wooden blocks, also of pit*, one foot long, three inches thick, and «bout fifteen inches wide, are set on end, ir. the usual man nor of laying brick pavement on edge, leaving a space be tween eaci row of nearly an inch in width, which is closely filled with gravel and then the whole thoroughly saturated with coal tar. Ihis makes the entire structure perfectly •mpervious to water, and greatly increase* the durability and sMidity of the wood. 5h« great advan. taga of this pavement it that vehicles pass over it easily and almo«t noiselessly.

Wherever adopted it is preferred over all other modes of paving. We are Informed the cost of laying tt down here will be about fifteen dollars per linal foot.

DIED.—In

Terre Haute, Ind., January

6, 1869, JACOB DRENNAN EARLY,

aged

by many who have had the' benefit of his counsel, and his generous assistance. In 1816, Mr. E. came to Indiana with a stock of dry goods, for Messrs. Landen & Higgins, and sold them out for the firm, at Salem, Washington county, at a salary of sixty dollars per year. This was bis commencement in business life. Return, ing to Flemingsburg, Ky., ho was engaged as a salesman and clerk in tbe dry goods house of Wallace & Triplet, for five years at a salary of $200 for the first year, and $300 per annum for tho balance of the time. At the end of his five yoars, he found he had saved ono thousand dollars in cash, and ho at once conceived the idea of commencing merchandizing on his own account. This he did in 1823, (then only 24 years old,) in a rented store room, opposite his old employes, and he soon had the satisfaction of seeing most of tho customers of the old bouse flocking around his counters, and making tbeir purchases of him. Such was tbe fascination of his manners, and the amiability of his temperament, that a customer once gained, never forsook liim By his economy and untiring industry, his first year's business was an entire success, and exhibited a handsome margin of profit. Pursuing this business assiduously three years longer, he found himself able to support a wife, and ho proffered his hand and his heajrt to Miss Mary Hodge Stockwel), of Flomingsburg, la whom be was united in matrimony, on tbo 2d day of Marcb, 1826, and ten days thereafter ho was snugly situated in a small log dwelling he bad purchased and plainly furnished, being tben fairly on the road in business, prosperity and success. His wedded life, however, was of short duration, for in less than two year* thereafter, his "beloved Mary" was fol lowed to the grave, leaving the subject, of this memoir disconsolate a"d crushed with sorrow.

For five years lODger Mr. E. continued business in Flemingsburg, and conduce! one of the most flourishing and w»ll-pa!-ronized Dry Goods houses of tli" pine. His affability and kind manrcr gnint him universal patronage, and hi.j hnne.°'y. trut.h and integrity, sooured arid .retain* his host3 of friends, as iong as he remnirsc-d the place Feb. 25, 1S33, ho wis ugain married to a lady of Baltimore, Maryland, (Miss Anu C. Reynolds,) whom bi took to Kentucky, where he remained until bo removed to this p!*ce in Sept. 1835 and ho has consequently, been an inhabitant of our young city f'T a third of a century. His brother .J »hn h-ul proceded him here many years, and was one of our pioneer pork packers-ind general merchants.

Several veara before his deith, Mr. John D. E., removed to B.'iltitn.ire, leaving Mr. Jacob D. E in possession bis mercantile house and packing business, to which he devoted himself with extraordinary success. It was in these branch' industry and trade, that Mr. Jacob D. E., exhibited tbo highest traits of capacity and success. His practical mind comprehended at a glancS, that -st uncertain and dangerous of all enterprises, and it was a received maxim, tbat when Mr. E encounterel a small loss, «v»ry other trader had gone under for a large amount. When margins wer9 reduced to tho smallest profits, our deceased friend wns successful to a degree which gave him ample returns on his investments. As a business man, be bad but few equals, and no superiors. That quiet manner and unexcitable temperament, which left tho mind unbiassed and free to act, was the secret of his suoce=s, and made him known and felt in the business of life Perhaps no man combined|within himself more of tbe elements of true business capacity than

The writer hereof gratefully remembers and cherishes many kind acts of the deceased, when ho was unable to help himself. Many in this community can cheerfully make similar acknowledgments, and will HOW sadly say, from tbe bottom of their hearts, "Rest in peace."

COMPANY ORGANIZED.—A

A jjk C. R. R, Judgo William Duncan was called to the chair, and A. D. Lemon chosen assistant Secrotary. Speeches were made by Messrs. E. D. Pearson, A. H. Dunihue, A. O. Voris, S. A. Raridan, A. B. Carlton, Davis Hnrrison, Q. W. Friedly and others, in favor of tho early construction of tbe road, and the vaBt importance to the people of Lawrence county that Bedford should be one of tbe termini of the proposed road.

The following articles of association were adopted:

HiUTE AND TTC nELL RAIL

ROAD.—The engineers are now engaged in purveying tbe different routes proposed for tho railroad from Terro Haute in this direction. The people of Mitchell snd Bedford both want the road to terminate at their respective towns. A sur vey will be made from both towns. The feeling in this city is very decidedly in favor of the southern terminus at Bedfed and the people of Bedford offer to subscribe more largely to secure the road than any other town on tho route.

From Bedford to the coal fields is but feventeea miles and it is claimed tbat a good route can be secured out of Bedford, and a distance of nine miles in the length of tho road saved by terminating it al Bedford.

Wo are satisfied that so fnr as New Albany b&s any interest in tfc« construction of this road and she has a most important interest—that interest could only be protected by terminating tbo road at Bedford. At Mitchell a Cincinnati interest would be found sufficiently strong bv the aid of the Ohio aud Mississippi road, to control the trade and send it to Cincinnati instead of New Albanj. If the road terminates at Bedford, this Cin cinnati influence would be greatly weak ened, if not entirely neutralized. New Albany cannot afford to aid in building railroads that will rob ber of her tirade and send it to rival cities. Shb can af« ford, however, to subscribe fifty or a hun» dred thousand dollars to the Terre Haute road/if it terminates at Bedford instead of Mitchell.—Nerc Albany Commercial.

Catching cold is a common phrase for an attack of catarrh, but it is a very in correct one. One year I suffered so severely from a series of "colds" that my attention was drawn specially to them.— I was then a lecturer on medicine, and nearly every night from flvo o'clock to six during the winter months had to turn out from a warm room to go through all weathers, lecture for an hour in a theatre heated by a stove and lighted by gas, and then return again to snuggery a home.— When I felt a fresh cold beginning, I tried in vain to account for it, I acci dentally saw in Copeland's dictionary that tbe most fruitful cause of cold was coming from a moist and cold air to hot and dry room. This at once explained to me the reason of my frequent suffering, for I had invariably gone into my hot rcom straight irom the cold. I, of course, soon changed my habit. I dawdled in tho ball while taking off my great coat, perambulated tho rooms which had no fire in them, went up and down stairs, and the like, ere I went into my study, whose temperature was always reduced. Since then I agree with a friend, who who says ''that a cold comes from catching hot and I am disposed to think that there is a strong analogy between a chilblain on a child's toes and cold in a person's nose, throat and lungs.
