Our New Dress.

Our readers we are assured will be pleased with the bright appearance of the EXPRESS this morning, and agree that our new dress is a most becoming one. It is clear faced, neat and handsome. The type, neither too small nor too large, presents an appearance which must be grateful to the eye of old or young. It was seelcted [sic] at the well-known Franklin Type Foundry, of Messrs. Allison, Smith & Johnson, at Cincinnati, a branch of the celebrated Johdson Foundry, Philadelphia. Our requisition has been carefully and promptly filled, and to our brethren of the press, we say Go on and do likewise. We commend the firm above-named to the patronage of the craft as high-minded, honorable gentlemen, who will give you a fair equivalent for your money. —————

NOUMALSOHOOL.—By a card elsewhere, issued by direction of the Board, it will be observed that the Normal School will not be opened until after the first of January, it being* the fixed purpose of the Trustees not to open the school until a suitable President can be obtained. This, the Board are of opinion w'ill be accomplished within a few days, and the school will be opened under the most favorable auspices.

The stones for the piers are nearly all worked and ready to be fitted to their proper places. A force of one hundred and twentv-six masons and stone cutters are daily employed on this bridge by its builders, the T. H. & I. R. R. Co. —————

FOUR NEW LOCOMOTIVES arrived on Saturday for the St. L., V. & T. H. R. R. They are of the Baldwin make and are first-class in every respect. Two other locomotives, arrived, but owing to their immense weight, Superintendent Conlogue refused to accept them. They are the largest and heaviest engines ever run over any level track, and while they will do on a rock ballasted road way, they would wear out any of our gravel or dirt ballast roads in a very short time. ——————

Our "big fat" Mayor caused a sensation at Louisville, if we are to believe the Indianapolis Mirror, which says:

Mayor Cookerly, of Terre Haute, was unanimously voted champion snorcr of the United States at the Louisville Commercial Convention, lie has a snoreous voice,- which was-somewhat exasperated bv a slight cold. He slept while thirty* live of the (ialt House guests, quartered in the same room, ground their teeth Ttnishied boots at him through the silent watches of the night. His trombone snore, with bass drum accompaniment, is pronounced the greatest thing on the bills, being like the rumbling of distant thunder, with a smattering of earthquake

A FAMIL'Y JAR amounting to a slight earthquake recently shocked the senses of the good people of Harmony Clay coiinfv. llnnnomj naturally rs suggestive of "peace'! but what's in a name when the "Devil's to pay."

SAMUEL MAOILL, Esq., Collector ofthis Revenue District, collected $227,491 29 from May 1st to Oct. Stli. A large proportion of this was paid on whisky that had been accumulating for several months before Mr. Magill took charge of the office.

THE collection of revenue in all the counties of this District except Vigo costs the collector considerably more than the per cenwge allowed him by the Government therefor, so that the office would pay better if Vigo county constituted the District.

THE foundations for the new railroad bridge are nearly completed. Two sets of hands, wc learn, have been put to work on the bridge, so as to insure its completion bv the first of January.

Vicio WOOLEN ILLS.—Wc direct attention to the advertisement of the Vigo Woolen Mills. The season is now at hand when woolen goods, such as flannels, jeans, cassimeres, stocking yarns, etc., will be in demand, and we know of no better place to get them than of S. S. Kennedy iV' Co.

His Tricks Brought to Light! ———

Striking Results of Lighting up a Dark Room. ———

He is Discovered with His Boots off, Skipping about the Room. ———

"HOW ARE YOU, JIMMY." ———

Probably more than two thousand people in this city and vicinity have witnessed, or rather heard the tricks and manifestations of Church, the so-called Spiritual Medium, during his stay of near two years in this city. During that time <seances> were held almost nightly at Pence's Hall, and occasionly [sic] at other points in the city, when the <conditions> were favorable. The charge for admission was usually one dollar, and there was no difficulty for a long time in selling tickets at this price. There is no denying, that he was a remarkable medium—or trickster, as the sequel proves—and actually shook

*tbe.4sequ'eV'

the faith of a number of our citizens, not disposed to believe in Spiritualism. After he had been operating here more than a year, during which time such believers in spiritualism, (but gentlemen known to be of the strictest integrity) as James Hook, Dr. Allen Pence, T. A. Madison, and one or two other gentlemen, had, as they stated, thoroughly tested him, we were induced, by a polite invitation, to attend a <seance>, and it will be remembered we gave a detailed account of what we saw and heard, closing with a doubt as to the genuineness of the manifestations.

Those having Church in charge thereupon proposed that we select a committee of say five skeptics and they would select the same numer of spiritualists, and that farther and more satisfactory tests be made. This was done, and we acknowledge that during the several evenings the committee attended, we were treated in the most gentlemanly manner, and in all the tests there was apparently perfect willingness to accede to all reasonable requests, but behind all this we could see that Church had certain conditions of his own, and we are firmly of the belief that he "pulled the wool over the eyes" of those who had him in charge, as well as the occasional visitor, for we cannot believe that such men as we have above

named would knowingly lend themselves

to his imposture. Our theory, from the first was that Church was a clever ventriloquist, by which he imitated the so-called spirit voices but to do the other business it was necessary for some person to be loose in the room. There was no possibility for any of his spiritual friends to leave the circle they being sandwichcd in between the skeptics. Church wits always on the opposite side of the room bound to a chair in such a manner that it did not seem possible to leave it. After one or two meetings, we began to think that by diverting himself of a portion of his clothing he could slip the band down his body and off at his feet. One evening we proposed that the band be first tied around his neck, and sealed with sealing wax as other knots were, but someone interposed, saying it looked like hanging a man; and as none of the other members of the committee insisted on it, this mode of tying was not adopted. If Church did not get loose in the manner we suggest, we will

freely hand him five dollars to tell us how he did it. It may be asked by some of our readers, why we did not spring a light on him in the midst of the performance, and the same question was often asked while the tests were going on. We answer that all person [sic] admitted to the circle were pledged not to break the circle by disjoining hands, thus making it impossible to strike a light by any ordinary means. They were also pledged to observe certain other conditions, and having so pledged, we did not care to break an obligation given. Persons that were thought to have no ''conscientious scruples" on this point were carefully excluded from the circles, or if they got in the performance was postponed on account of the weather —"not sufficient electricity in the air."

It seems, however, that some people in Lafayette had no such scruples, as the extract below, from the Lafayette <Courier> shows. That paper says:

A scalawag by the name of Church has been creating considerable excitement in this city for the last two weeks, by his eploits as a spiritual medium. This felow was a "red-hot" medium, and from the fact that his personal appearance indicated that he was not competent to perform these tricks himself, caused some of our old citizens to look upon the manifestations as being quite remarkable, and yet entirely unaccountable. Church, had a set of conditions, and each one in the circle had to pledge his word not to violate these conditions. The conditions were that all should join hands and remafn [sic] until the medium should consent that a light should be struck. Thus the medium had it all his own way, and in order to keep up the excitement he promised that the spirits would surely illuminate the room, and the circle should see their spiritual friends face to face. A plan was arranged to illuminate the room by shoving a torch into it through a stove pipe hole. Every thing was fixed and the committee on illumination in good position, but the project was abandoned for that evening, from the fact that those who were to get off the illumination had good reason to believe that none but the faithful were in. It was intended to give it to them on the following evening, but for some cause the room was abandoned and the circles held privately. The faithful reported the most favorable manifestations. On Saturday night a very harmonious circle met at the house of one of our best citizens, and the feeling was so har-

castinet performer, made his appearance

corroborating the above and exposing Church as a cheat and swindler. Charles Yeakle, whose name is attached states that he is a firm believer in spiritualism, and attended his seances in good faith, but cautions all spiritualists againsts [sic] him as a cheat and imposter.

It is due to the good name of the spir- itualists it [sic] this city that they now unbosom themselves, and if they know, an/thing additional, that it be given to the public. If there is anything good in spiritualism it should shorn [sic] of all species of humbuggery. Good-bye Jimmy! Farewell, Nimwaukee! Adieu, Pretty Swiss! <Au revoir>, Mayor Henry! It will distress some good people in this city to learn that you are, the verriest myths, and that after an acquaintance of near two years, they must bid you a last and a long farewell. —————

STATE CHRISTIAN CONVENTION.—WE learn that a call is soon t6 be issued for a State Christian Convention of all denominations to meet in this city early in Deccmlier. The call has more than a hundred signatures of leading christians, ministers and laymen—from all parts of the State. Speakers, of the very first rank have been secured.

THE Normal School Board of Trustees adjourned on Saturday, without accomplishing anything, that is, anything that we are permitted to publish. The question: "Who is.to be President?" remains unsolved. Another meeting is to be held on the second day of November, at which time it is the opinion of the Boardjhat the faculty will be made complete.

YESTERDAY was a glorious Autumn dav. The air in the morning and evening was crisp and frosty, but during the dav the sun shone with a mellow warmth, even and steady as the love of a woman of forty-five. The great luminary and Jjcneficent dispenser of heat and sunstroke during the summer months is now toned down, and looks at us mildly through its gossamer Indian-summer-like veil.*

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—Yesterday afternoon a young lad, son of Rev. Mr. Skinner, pastor of Asbury Chapel, was hanging on to the rear of Dr. Read's buggy, when the Doctor started and the wheel caught one of the boy's legs, breaking it near the knee and the ankle. Drs. Read and Thompson attended the little sufferer's injuries. This case is a loud warning of the danger incurred by this altogether too common practice of boys hanging on to the rear of vehicles. —————

Should this prove as satisfactory as is anticipated, a large number of these wooden structures will be filled another season. Where the volume of water passing through is large, brick will be used. We think this is a step in the right direction, as it not only will save a heavy expense in constantly renewing the present culverts, but will render travel still safer, although that road has, under its present able management, been singularly free from accidents. —————

PAPER MILL.—Commenting on a recent item in this paper in regard to a paper mill, the Brazil <Miner> says:

A good paper mill is needed in this region, and we hope that the Terre Haute enterprise will go ahead. The patronage of a judiciously managed paper mill, located at Terre Haute, would be immense.— Such an establishment would be of great advantage to many publishers in Indiana and Illinois. —————

renewed energy ajtd enlarged facilities we: shall endeavor to make a paper worthy their favorable mention

THE EXPRESS was issued on Tuesday from its new quarters in the Patrick property, on the corner of Sixth and Ohio. It is enlarged to nine colnms [sic], has a new dress throughout, and compares most favorably,,with the best dailies of the State. The enterprise shown by the proprietors, and managers of the EXPRESS is commendable, and we doubt not the community will fully appreciate and reward it. The energy and vim shown by the editor of the EXPRESS, Capt. Chas. H. Allen, if displayed in any other avocation than the unprofitable one of journalism, would insure him speedy fortune. Mr. P. S. Westfall, who has been in the EXPRESS office for' fourteen years, has a host of friends in this city. Long may the EXPRESS live and flourish!—<Saturday Evening Gazette>.

The Terre Haute EXPRESS appeared on Monday last in an entire .new dress, and enlarged in size. The office lias, also been removed to a new and commodious building. Many improvements have been made and more are projected. Captain Ailen, the editor, and P. S. Westfall, city editor and business manager,, are both energetic and capable men,, and with thpir enlarged facilities and. opportunities, the EXPRESS will be made, entirely worthy the fullest support of the Republicans of that section of the State. We_wish the EXPRESS all nal.

The Terre:Haute EXPRESS yesterday! came to us in a suit of ne*v type, and with dimensions so much enlarged that )ve hardly recognized it. AVe congratulate our cotemporary on this evidence of prosperity, and trust that with a big paper, fine presses and job type to correspond, it will have a glorious future. [Here follows a brief sketch of the EXPESS from its establishment to the present time.] The circulation and influence of the,pa-.. per has been on the increase, and at the present time is said to be much greater than ever.. With the largely increased facilities for doing business, in the hands of the present proprietor, we feel assured that he will make his paper and office more popular and more successful than at any time in its previous history.

Captain Charles H. Allen, the editor of the EXPRESS, to whose energy and ability we attribute much of its improved appearance, will not rest content with present attainments, but push on to yet greater achievements.—Ei-an-wille,Journal.

The Daily Express has always been a well-conducted, enterprising newpaper, and this enlarge: ment shows that its proprietors are determined that nothing in the State shall exceed it in the amount and quality of cading matter furnished the public.— Parss Blade.

THE MAYOR'S COURT, on Saturday, had only one case—a plain drunk. The victim had to pay six dollars against his earnest protestation that he was only crazy from the effects of quinine. Two policemen undertook to conduct him home, when the "quinine" struck in, and he "struck out from the shoulder" in a lively and vigorous manner, bnt with no serious damage.

THE CASE of J. F. Gulick, <et, al. vs.> The Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company, in the Circuit Court, attracts considerable attention on the part of property holders along the line of the Wabash & Erie Canal. It is a suit in ejectment for recovery of a portion of the old towing path of the canal, in front of a lot in Sibleytown, which has been used by the Railroad Company for their track. Many interesting and intricate legal questions arise in the case, and will be thoroughly discussed, by able counsel on both sides, in the progress of the case. —————

CLAY COUNTY LETTER. ———

CIRCUIT COURT—BOWLING GREEN—THE THE [sic] MINERS ON A STRIKE—THE FURNACES—PREACHERS, TEACHERS, ETC. ——— A Delayed Letter.]

The Clay county Circuit Court that convened September 27th, wr.s only continued one week—Judge Ecklcs being too indisposed, to attend. Very little business was transacted "except to strike off the docket a large number of cases of four years1 standing. All the important cases, set for the term were continued to the npxt.

The weather being propitious and the roads in excellent condition, the attendance ofiawyers, litigants and witnesses was very prompt and full. Howling Green is trying hard to retain the county seat, but it is a struggle against fate, and they mn«t stiecumb, sooner or later, to theconvenienbe of the business interests of the county!. The town has considerably increased its capacity for entertainment the past vcar. Mother Cromwell ofiers her patrons a sumptuous fare not to be surpassed anywhere. Stillwagoncr's is another good House.,f i"*1

The miners at Knightsville have been on a strike for some weeks, and caused a total suspension of work at the Indiana Coal and Iron Company's shaft. They demand fifteen cents advance per ton, and the Company positively refuses to accede to their <dictum>. Not a pound of coal has been mined since the strike. The feelings of the community hereabouts is decidedly with the Company—the demand of the miners being deemed an extortionate one.

The strike has exetended to the several

slopes

slopes and shafts along the North Branch of the T. H. & I. R. R., and mining has been suspended except at McClelland & Son's. This firm narrowly escaped desertion and the episode that occurred there may be taken as an apt illustration of the common sympathy of the miners as well as an evidence of the power of their Association. A miner who had been in the employ of the other company and was one of the strikers was unknowingly employed by this company, but as soon as the identification became known he was promptly discharged and the result was an irruption of the whole force of the miners. They would not go back until the man expressed his indifference about working there "anyhow" and advised their return—and, thus the affair ended. There is still no prospect of a resumption of mining business at Knightsville, and even were the terms made satisfactory it would require

A miner earns from fifty to one hundred dollars per month and if temperate and frugal can easily lay up something for "wet days," but it is a melancholly [sic] fact that very few of them are provident enough to think of anything but "the present." With all their failings, however, no one can gainsay of them as a class, that when sober they are not "open handed, good hearted, Bully Boys."

The "Planet Furnace" at Mill Branch has been working finely since the new blast pipes were put in. This institution is owned by an Indianapolis company and is run in the interest of the Indianapolis Rolling Mill to which is consigned all the shipments consisting of Pig Iron, Fire Clay, Sand Stone and Coal.

The Western Iron Company of Knightsville are only running one of their furnaces —the other is undergoing repairs, and when it is in blast again the one now working will be subjected to the same overhauling. The present is a very opportune time for such works as it lessens the consumption of coal and enables them the better to "weather" the strike.

The Brazil Furnace will have to blow out again. They have only made a short run and misfortune has again befallen them. It is to be regretted that this institution can not be worked to better advantage. They have the best building

and

and the best engine of all the like establishments hereabouts. Mastin's Furnace is working well.

Preachers are a neglected class in this county—they are only half fed at best— but some of them seemed destined to even worse fate. As an instance, we might mention the case of the Rev. S. Harrison, an excellent man by the way, whose appointments embraced Harmony, Staunton and some three or four other places, and yet they together could not raise him three hundred dollars for the year. He had to send home for money to get away.

His successor the Rev. ——— arrived a few days since accompanied by all his carthly "duds'' consisting of a wife, one trunk and three boxes. He had the

courage to remain less than a week, during which time he canvassed the district and failing to get any substantial encouragement, he left the county, satisfied that though the Democracy might flourish it was no place for a preacher.

What is true of the minister, is likewise applicable to the techher [sic]. Educational facilities are exceedingly meagre. Schools are very irregularly in session, in miserable haunts, and governed by cheap tutors. There are of course a few good schools in some of the larger towns and more wealthy rustic communities, but taking the county at large it is not to be wondered that there are so many thriftless, ignorant people.

There is much sickness throughout this section at present. The doctors say it is impossible for them to answer to all the calls.

The present frosts have done no damage in the country, even the pumpkin vines came out almost unscathed. Farmers are improvtng the favorable condition of the ground and weather and are sowing an unusually large area of wheat.

The miners are generally a transitory kind of people—continually wandering from place to place, making money fast and spending it faster.
