FATAL ACCIDENT.—William Moore, a miner, at Barnett's Slope, a couple of miles south of Harmony, was crushed and smothered to death yesterday by the falling of several tons of the roof upon him, A comrade was seriously injured, but not being entirely buried, was taken out alive. —————

FOUR new passenger coaches for the St. Louis, Vandalia and Terre Haute I\. R., arrived Saturday. They are models of beauty and possess all the modern improvements for comfort to the traveler. They are f.om the establishment of the Barney & Smith Manufacturing Company, of Dayton, Ohio.* They "go forward today to the west iji| of the road.

THE DIRECTORS of the E.,T. II. & Danville II. K. Company held a meeting la-it evening at the Terre llaute House, at which John Ingle jr., resigned the office of President and Josephus Collett jr., was elected to fill the vacancy.

The directors ordered the heavy work on the line to be let, ties purchased A'c. An adjourned meeting' will be held todav.

Tilio Postmaster General has instructed postinastets to treat all letters dropped inio iheir offices, directed with a pencil, the same as "dead letters."—Erckuxje.

If that is true, the Postmaster General ha- done a very foolish tiling. It is none of his business whether a superscription is written wiih pen, pencil, chalk or chaeoal, so '.hat the direction is legible. Ink is not always at hand, and a pencil is often the only implement one can command n- superscribing a letter. If the writer's superscription becomes illegible, whether he uses pencil or ink, it should then, as a matter of course, go to the Dead Letter office—not otherwise.

THE Secretary of Statesent a large pile of State documents to Ireland on Saturdav, to be used in the courts of that eoun,tv rtva matter in which it is understood the 'Senator from Parke" is interested, and upon them it is possible that a fortune depends.— hid. Jnunint. "The Senator from Parke," as our renders will recollect, is the Hon. T. X. Rice, of Kijekville, who recently returned from visit to Ireland. If there is "a fortune" in the "ould counihrv" for anybody in these parts, we don't know of a worthier recipient theieof than Mr. Rice would be, and and we hope the "State documents" may prove efficacious in furthering his interests.

NORTH AND SIH'TII ROADS.—The paragraph below from the Cincinnati Price Current, is convincing proof that the Chicago, Danvilfce and Terre Haute road will be not altogether useless and on the eontrarv its early construction is urgently demanded

The quantity of freight going South is far to much for the capacity ot the railways running in that direction, and there has been general complaint regarding the delav in the transit of goods shipped to Southern markets. Additional railway facilities to the South are badly needed, and we hope our Southern Railway will be built without delay. Ten years hence it will require three or four railways to earrv the Southern freight, from this market, alone.

TERRE II.U'TK MECHANICS INVITED SOVTW.—Wc are permitted to publish the following letter, from Shelbyville, Tennessee, written by Rev. B. Rippctoe, formerly of this county, to Mr. Philip Newhart, the plow manufacturer. Mr. X., however, has no notion of accepting the invitation, having all the work he can convenientlv do here at home. I lie .writer says:

THE Journal mentions Judge Patterson as a enndidate for Supreme Judge. No object ions, if the Democracy can elect their ticket.

HEAVY CONTRACT. Wm. Cliff, the boiler maker, has the contract for all the sheet iron work oftlifc Vigo Iron Works including boilers and stacks.

THE IRON on the St. Louis, Vandalia and Terre Haute railroad is rapidly reaching this way, being now some twelve miles this side of Effingham. —————

CLEANING UP.—Street Commissioi er Purdy, with a strong force is making a general cleaning of the streets and alleys, preparatory to winter's freeze.

THE

RKPAiRS'being made on the Terre­

llaute Draw Bridge will be so far completed to-day as to allow the use of both pass-ways.

AN exchange says, winking at a pretty girl through goggles is like doing business without an advertisement in the newspapers. The venture is neither seen nor appreciated.

THERE will probably be a called meeting of the City Council to-night to take action on the Danville Jiailroad appropriation. There is no doubt that $100,000 will be voted on the same terms as in the ca«c of the Bloomfield road.

Mtas ADA LIND delivers a free lceturc at Pence's Hall this evening, on "Woman's Sphere," and on to-morrow evening a lceturc on "The Ballot." The ladies especially arc invited to conic and hear their cause advocated bv one of their sex.

AMUSEMENTS.—After a long dearth of amusements we arc to have qujte a run at Dowling Ilall, and certainly of the most varied character. The minstrels open on Saturday night as heretofore annouced. Manager Leake, of the Academy of Music, Indianapolis, comes over on Monday night to play Rip Van Winkle. The Davenport Boys, the spiritual mediums, follow011 Wednesday and Thursday, and Bayard Taylor closcs the week with a lec'ture 011 Saturday evening.

In addition we learn Mr. Leake will bring Owens and Collin-, with a good company, some time during the winter.

ARRESTS.-—Watson Bosworth and Herbert Graff were arrested Monday night by Chief of Police Crowe and Policeman Ward Hayward for robbing a post office near Danville, Ills. They were sent up there yesterday morning, in charge of detcctivc who had followed them here. It will be remembered that these two young men were convicted of a robbery at Sue Garvin's, a little more than two years ago, for which Bosworth served two years in the Penitentiary. Graff was sent to the county jail for one year, but was afterwards pardoned, and for a long time gave promise of reform.

CHURCH, the spiritual medium, hung out at Terre Haute before he came here but the denizens of that antediluvian city were not sharp enough to find him out.— <Lafayette Journal>.

If it is sharp to lie or violate a solemn pledge, we must yield the palm to Lafayette. Church's conditions rendered it impossible to "find him out" unless one or more members of the circle would forfeit his word of honor. Lafayette furnished the required material, and villany was unmasked by the aid of falsehood. —————

THE "Indiana Surgical Institute" of IndianapoHs, is perhaps, the most complete establishment of the kind in the United Sta es. The utility of such an institution in every city was 1110-t signally demonstrated in the prompt and excellent manner in which the wounded in the horrible accident at our recent State fair, were cared for. Doctor Allen who is at the head of the Institute, is well known to many of our citizens who have been successfully treated by him at his infirmary in Charleston, Ills., during the past few vears. He has associated with him other eminent surgeons, and they will doubtless make their experiment a suc­

cess.

WHAT does Murray Briggs intend by the following which we find in yesterday's Sullivan Democrat: "The Terre llaute Gazelle compliments the trustees of that township because during his term of office the numeration of school children has increased nearly MOper cent. We have frequently thought that the trustees were especially entitled to the thanks ot the people up there for their increase in the number of school children."

THE NEW SPIRE of the Catholic Church is going skyward at a rapid rate, to the great improvement of the outward appearance of the building. We believe it was Dean Swift who wrote of an unfinished church as a broken promise to God. The incomplete tower of the Episcopal Church and the unfinished audience room of the Centenary are a constant reminder of this uaint remark. Either the brethren of these houses ^promised rashly they are allowing their obligations to go to protest.

ARREST OF STEVENS.—For several days we have known of steps being taken for the immediate arrest of Stevens, the murderer, but for prudential reasons, have said nothing about it until yesterday morning, when mention was made of a current rumor upon the streets. There is now no necessity for secresy [sic], and we are at liberty to say that one day last week information was received that Stevens was at a small town in Iowa, near the Missouri line. On Saturday evening the Sheriff started for that locality, and on Monday Mayor Cookerly received a dispatch from Stewart requesting a requisition on the Governor of Iowa for the arrest of Stevens. The Mayor immediately went to Indianapolis and had the desired papers forwarded by express, which will reach Des Moines this afternoon. Sheriff Stewart, however, did not wait for these papers, as appears from the following dispatch received by Chief of Police Crowe yesterday afternoon: "Be at St. Louis to-night at twelve o'clock. I got him."

The Sheriff, with his prisoner, may he expected here to-day.

A PROVOKE.—In Esq. Dennehie's Court on Saturday, William Hughes was fined with costs S7.50 for attempting to provoke one Mitchell to%ght.

MOVING.—Our friend Tyler, the house mover, has been kept busy for some timei moving dwelling honses, in the northern part of the city, to make way for the new Indianapolis road, which in the location of the line has thrown houses to the right and left in the most reckless manner

THE CIRCUIT COCBT on Saturday eve ning took a reeess until December— cept the hearing of two or three legal ar guments which will occur during this week.

"WILL you be at the Prayer Meeting Wednesday night?" is the rather pertinent question we have just printed for a wide-awake parson to awaken his church members. In the parlance of the poker player, it is to be hoped each member "will see it and go one." S

THE Juurnal denies the rumor that it i." to be consolidated with the Weekly Aetra. The report, we believe was started by the Iloosier State in retaliation for the Journal's statement that the Hoosier State was to be consolidated with Griffin's in-eenne-i Gazette.

MARRIAGE LICENSES were issued la.~t week by the County Clerk to the foliowparties: Jas. M. Price and Cvnthia E. Daugherty. Elsie E. Mickelberg and Mary B. Joab. Simon Daniel and Levina J. Hammonds. John Cummingsand Louisa SheU. Stephen G. Norrisand Sarah E. A\ illiams. Stephen Trueblood and Margaret L.

Pierson.

THE Street Railway Company is now repairing its track along Main street— which was much needed. This, the principal street of our city does not comport with a city with the pretentions of Terre Haute, and should be permanently improved at an early day. It is perhaps, too late this season to talk about it, but as we wade through the mud this winter the Council and property holders along the street should seriously consider what should be done before another season of mud and slosh. —————

STABBING AFFRAY'.—At Maeksville, on Saturday morning David Ektts stabbed James Waburton in the neck, causing no material damage. Ekus had a hearing before Esq. Smith and was lined five dollars with costs. The provocation was Wabuton calling Ekus a liar. The latter afterwards filed a complaint before the Mayor against Waburton for provoking an assault. The complaint, however, was not in proper form, and before another could be prepared, the provoker provokinglv proceeded to propel his person from the municipal portals, andcould not aftewa.ds be found. He had previously been fined in the Mayor's court for disorderly conduct in attempting to fight after he came to town.

STRANGE that people never will learn that fortunes are not to be picked up by simply "going West''—that industry and and economy are as essential there as in any other part of the world to the acquirement of a competence. "The West" is the Mecca to which tens of thousands of of pilgrims annually wend their way, a large portion of them in the vain hope of bettering their condition without the expenditure of other effort than that necessary to get there, and the most of whom are doomed to the most bitter disappointment. We commend the following, from a Western journal of a recent date, to all men hereabouts who contemplate "going West:"

We get letters every day from young men who want to come out West. It is impossible to answer them all. We can say, in general terms, that a capable, honest and sober young man can do better here than in the East. The chances are in his favor. As Webster said, "there is room above." But there is no room here for men who expect a fortune to drop out of the skies, or spring spontaneously out of the earth. It is a good deal here as elsewhere. We have to work for our own bread, and those who work hardest get the most and best. —————

It was a strikingly strange contrast, and as wc looked out upon the cold yet beautiful scene, we could not help thinking of the manv poor families in the city wI10 had not made, in faot were not able to make any preparation for the sudden and unexpected change. It is at such a time as this that the poor feel most bitterly and hopelessly all the p. iva ions and deep distress of poverty. It is not alone the outcast, the homeless vagrant, the unworthy anil wotthless drunkard, who feel the pinching, biting cold through their thin and taticied garments, and the knawing hunger of their empty stomachs but many a worthy household, the children of the bereaved widow, whose industrious hands fail to earn enough to keep the stove warm and the table supplied with the coarsest fare, and the families of those who lv misfortune, the failure of employment, or the fearful hand of sickness, are unable*to provide against the severitiesof the season. These are the ones who suffer most, not alone from cold and hunger, but from that most intense of mental suffering?, the shame of honest poverty. It is such as these that should receive the earnest attention of those good men and women, (and to the credit of our people be it said, they are a vast number in this citv) who are always ready to alleviate sufferings if they only knew how to do it to advantage. It happens, however, that in default of this knowledge, their generous desires are frequently defeated, and their benefactions too often wasted on those who deserve it least. Some united effort should be immediately set on foot 10 alleviate the pressing wants of the dc serving poor. The Ladies Aid bociety has, heretofore taken the lead in this matter, assisted for many years by the

Grand Army of the Republic 'and the Soldiers' Relief Association. These two latter have ceased to exist, and the only organization now in tiperation is that of the Ladies Aid Society. We are not advised what its plan of operations are for the winter. Wc feel confident that in addition to the munificent endowment of our worthy townsman, Mr. Rose, that any proper call on OUT people will be promptly responded to. As a starter, wouldn't a festival 011 an extensive scale be in order? Now is the time to strike, when all hearts are open to generous emotions.

THE SAVINGS BANK has not yet gone into operation. pr

QUAILS are in market at two dollars a dozen—sixteen cents a mouthfull.

THE TOWN CLOCK is out of sorts |yer the bad weather and we are not tolled ihe passing hours.

THE First National Bank declares a dividend of six per cent out of the earnings of the past six months.

THE SNOW on Saturday morning suspended work on the Opera House, and all other out-door work.

NEW CORN is coming in lively now. It is somewhat unusual for corn to command double the price of potatoes.

HORSE THIEVES are prowling about, David Smith, of Kevins township, suffered the loss of a fine animal one night last week.

GOOD CORNER.—As showing the value of the corner of Sixth and Ohio streets for business purposes, we may state that the small brick now going up on the corner,'containing only one room, twenty feet square has already been rented at four hundred dollars a year.

THE city authorities are contemplating the purchase of the property on the corner of Third and Walnut streets, foi a Station House and for the extension of the Market House. Four thousand dollars Ls the price asked. Some fifteen years ago the same proposition was before the City Council, at which time the property could have been bought for $1,600.

characteristic allusion to the EllsPostoffiee difficulty the Journal

IN

worth says: We are glad the mishap did not occur under a copperhead administration. In that state of the case our 6th street neighbor would hardly have termed it an "unfortunate affair."

This attempt to drag politics into an affair of this kind will be duly appreciated by all honorable minds. Its meanstands out so prominently that all canj see it without any effort on our part to make it more conspicious. It is aloud demand for universal contempt, and that all that need be said about it.

OUR NEW NEIGHBORS.—Councilman M. W. O'Conncll has opened a new News and Periodical Depot in the building north of our office 011 the corner south a building is going up which Jerry Voris is to occupy as a meat stand west of 11s Mr. J. A. Morgan is erecting a building for a coal office and adjoining that Dr. Link will commence to-day putting up an office for himself. When people have to come to the oorner of Sixth and Ohio streets forsuch staple articles as their Daily and Weekly papers, their periodicals, their meat, their coal and their physic, while just across the street is Burnett with his big Postofiice, the only inititution of the kind in the city, wc fail to see what is to prevent it from becoming the most popular corner in town. Opera House corners fall in the shade.

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT—A WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH!—We learn from Dr. Stevenson, of Middletown, that a most heart-rending accident occurred in Prairie Creek township last Saturday morning, by which the wife of Mr. James True"lood was burned to death, The lady as subject to fits and while laboring under one of those attacks, in the absence of other members of the family,.she fell into the fire and was literally roasted before her condition was known, or any assistance rendered. Slid lingered in the most terrible agony and pain until Wednesday morning when death kindly put an end to her sufferings. She was an estimable lady, about thirty years of age, iind leaves a husband and "three children.

[From Thursday's Daily Express.

UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR—Deputy U.S. Marshals Powell and Bigelow on yesteray arrested Frank Tuttlc and Miss Mollie Right and took them to Indianapolis on the train last evening, on the very serious charge of "obstructing the mails by opening and destroying letters." Clark Tuttlc is the postmaster at Ellsworth, six miles north of the city, and it is usually 11 charge of his son Frank. It appears, we learn, that some person wrote and rintcd some obscene doggerel verses in egard to Miss Kight and addressed them to several parties in the neighborhood. One was addressed to Frank Tuttlo, who) on reading the same, and seeing other enlopes in the same handwriting, gathered them together and "showed them 10 the young lady. O11 seeing their character, she immediately tore them up and threw them into the fire. By some means the authorities at Washington were notified of the affair and the proper officers were instructed to make the arrest. Perry Tuttlc, Esq., went over to Indianapolis with the party last evening, and it is to be hoped the unfortunate affair may be some milliner adjusted. The mere arrest, without further punishment, will be a terrible lesson- to the young pair, who have borne an irreproachable character, and in this act were not aware of the grave nature of the offense.

et

THE SNOW—Tin: POOR.—On Saturday morning our city awoke to find that while wc slept during the quiet hours of the night, the snow king had been silently at work dressing the earth, the trees, the shrubbery in robes of bridal purity, alas to be too soon tarnished and soiled by contact with grosser and less beautiful things—the fate of all beauty and purity, whether of mind or matter, in this world of ours. Eailv risers witnessed the full beauty of the scene. The trees, hardly shorn of their leaves, as each, in'ert wining limb and branch bent beneath the unexpected coating, exhibited in their a-loru-the handi-work of the snow artist, scarecly less beautiful than the recent full dress of green June robes, amid which the birds sang and twitterd, and the bees hummed and gathered nectar.

THE ELSWORTII P. O. AFFAIR.—On reaching Indianapolis on Wednesday evening Frank Tuttle and Miss Molle Kight had a preliminary examination before Commissioner Kimball, after which Tuttle was admitted to bail in the sum of $1,000 and Miss Kight in the sum of $500 until the next morning. A stranger who entered the car at Grecncastle, and during the remainder of the trip was in close conversation with Miss Kight, went upon her bond to answer for her appearance. It is presumed the stranger was a Government detective. On the next morning when the parties were brought before the Commissioner, it appeared the young lady had been induced to turn State's evidence. She was accordingly permitted to go free, and young Tuttle was placed under bonds of $1,000 to await the action of the Grand Jury.

Our mention of the origin of the affair, in yesterday's paper, was in the main correct, except that Miss Kitght [sic] was first to receive a copy of the obscene verses. Frank Tuttle happened in at the house of the girl's parents, and found the family in a terrible commotion. On being shown the envelope and contents, he observed that there were a number of such envelopes in the postoffice addressed to different parties. Thereupon Tuttle and the girl went over to the postofiice, and Tuttle taking the envelopes from the boxes, showed them to her, when she, taking them in her hands, tore them up the spot. This, we are reliably informed, is the whole sum and substance of the affair. The law may term it a crime, but morally there was no crime intended. We learn the detectives have hunted this matter down, and pursued as rigid a course as if the mails had been robbed of thousands of dollars. As may be imagined Mr. Clark Tuttle, the father of young Frank, is terribly distressed at the result of this unfortunate affair. Young Frank

has ever borne a character of the strictcst morality and probity, and has the sympathy of the entire community where he resides. The whole affair can be termed nothing more than a little indiscretion, in which the more guilty party will escape punishment.

The State Normal School William A Jones, Superintendent of City Schools, Aurora, Illinois, has been elected to the Presidency of our State Normal School and has accepted the position. This choice was made at the last meeting of the Trustees, but the Board, having failed in two previous efforts to secure the services of gentlemen elected to the Presidency, decided not to give publicity to their action until formal notice of acceptance should be received. Hon. B, C. Hobbs was authorized by the Trustees to receive such notice, or any other com munication upon that subject, and gives the result in the following letter to the Indianapolis daily papers:

William A. Jones, the President elect of the Faculty of the State Normal School, has not been distinguished among the educational men of the nation. Time has hardly taken from him the appearance of youth. Though thirty-nine, you would not suppose him above thirty-five years. He is a son of Connecticut, was educated in Massachusetts, and matured in the West. For several years he was bookkeeper in a manufacturing establishment in Massachusetts. The West induced him to hunt a home among her thriving villages, and about fifteen years ago he became a citizen of Northern Illinois. He was tempted to fill various lucrative public offices, but chose, under pressing solicitation, the profession of teaching. His success was so complete that about five years ago, Aurora, a Deautiful city of 10,000 inhabitants, on both sides of the Fox river, which had erected a public school building at a cost of about $75,000, secured his services as superintendent of her city schools.

Possessed of a philosophic as well as of an eminently practical order of mind, he went to work to reach results that must necessarily blend financial with educational success.

At first view you would not be impressed with the qualities which afterward appear. His strength is found in reserved force rather than in present manifestation. When he appeared before the public, in educational associations, his essays gave evidence of mature practical thought philosophic methods, and forcible arguments.

His teachers are so thorougly drilled that his system of public schools is pronounced by the best educators in the State unsurpassed in accuracy and philosophy of method.

The Normal School Board has been induced to select him, from the favorable assurances of many of our best educational men in the West, who know him intimately. The best guarantee to success is success. This having been a marked feature of his character, it Ls believed, will not forsake him in his new position. Let us, then, give him a generous welcome to the important field of labor before him, and sustain him, both by goodjwishes and kind words, that will be felt as a genial inspiration in the hour of anxious trouble. His acceptance of the position tendered him has been officially made.

J. M. Olcott, Professor of Mathematics, and R. Bosworth. Professor of Natural Science, have both secured a reputation as teachers in the city of Terre Haute, and forj their general scientific ability, which is too familiar to the people of Indiana to render it necessary to speak of them here. The former has for some time past been engaged in conducting County Ins-itutcs in different portions of the State, and will continue in that work until the end of the year.

Julia Newell, of Jonesville, Wisconsin, a graduate of Mt. Holyokc Seminary, Massachusetts, is a lady who adds to li,er superior intellectual and moral worth, a liberal education, enriched by a general knowledge, acquired not only by much travel through the States, but Egypt and Palestine. Her varied knowledge and genial manners will no doubt prove a great acquisition to the Institution. She has had a successful experience as a teacher, and will prove herself equal to the duties of the position assigned her.

Ruth Morris, formerly of Richmond, Indiana, now of the First Ward School, Indianapolis, has been chosen Principal of the Primary Training School. Her success in this department of labor has secured for her recommecdations from some of our best educational men, who know her well. This department will be made up from pay students from the city, who will be under a professional training, which will exhibit the best methods of teaching primary classes. While it, with the Grammar or Intermediate Department, will be under the bast model teachers, they, will afford an opportunity for practice in theory and art in the Normal

Training Department. Teachers will be selected to complete the faculty before the opening of the Institution. The Model High School will be taught and sustained by the city of Terre Haute, under the control and approval of the Normal Schoor Trustees. \I1 things connected with the Institution ire made subject to their authority.

The Trustees have used such deliberation, in order to reach the best possible results in the completion and furnishing of the building, and in the selection of the best professional ability for the facnlty.

Their aim has been to place it in the front rank among its oompeers in America, and, confiding in the elegance and fitness of the building for the object designed, and in the general interest felt throughout the State, in its success, they can extend a cordial invitation to such as desire to reach a professional ability that will not only command a remunerative salary, but enable them to perform educational work that will be a blessing to the rising generation and an honor to the State.

It is proper for us, in this connection, to remark, that we have taken unwearied pains to secure for publication all items of public interest in relation to the Nor-

USehool. We have -pared 110 effort to follow up the meetings of the Board, and to solicit from the Secretary and other members, the earliest notice of their action upon all subjects that would interest our readers. As the School is located in this city, as the Secretary resides here, and the Board meetings are always held here, it would seem that the press of Terre Haute should not be compelled to learn from Indianapolis papers who is to be President of the institution It will be remembered that the news of Hon. Newton Bateman's election and declination reached 11s through the same channel. A discrimination against the press of this city is a discrimination, not against us, but against the people of Terre Haute who have a right to expect that their newspapers will contain the earliest information of all matters pf local interest, which, of course, cannot be the case when that information is earnestly and persistently withheld from the press of Terre Haute and communicated only through the papers of a city seventy-three miles distant.

As to the gentleman upon whom the choice of the Board has fallen, Mr. Jones, we have the assurance of those most likely to know his qualifications, that he is eminently fitted for the position to which he has been called. He will meet a cordial welcome from the people of Terre Haute and ofthe State, and will find the friends of popular education ready to cooperate with liinijnost cheerfully in all his efforts to inaugurate and carry forward the great work for which the Normal School is designed.

AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST.—Persons wishing this paper the coming year, will do well to read the propositions made by the agent, Mr. J. A. Foote, in our advertising columns. It is one of the very best agricultural papers published, and during the past yeac has had a very large list of subscribers in this vicinitv.

GEN. JOHN SCOTT, who is not exactly the "oldest inhabitant," but is noted for his predictions in regard to Indian Sum. mer, has for several days previous to this cold snap, been watching for Squaw Winter, and says this is the heaviest Squaw he ever knew. His prediction is that Indian Summer will soon follow and will be balmy and prolonged in proportion to the severity of this snap.

AN OLD PIONEER PREACHER.—Rev. Richard Hargrave, Presiding Elder ofthis conference, preached in the Centenary Church Sunday morning,quarterly meeting being in progress. He first preached in this city forty-five years ago, in a small log house. During the sermon, he alluded to many interesting reminiscences, and stated that he did not see a single face that was in his audience forty-five years ago. Just think of it, nearly a half century in Gospel harness.

JAMES FORBES, Esq., of Chicago, the artist who recently painted the portraits of ex-Governors Whitcomb aud Dunning, at Evansville, and who has painted some forty other portraits in that city, was at the Terre Haute House, yesterday, and left on the early train for Indianapolis, this morning, where he will paint the portrait of Gov. Morton. This reproduction of gubernatorial physiognomies is intended for the State Gallery, in accordance with an act of ihe last Legislature.

IRON for the new road to Indianapolis is now arriving daily. The entire line will be laid with the Fish rail. Track laying will commence on this end next week and it is the intention to reach the coal region before extreme cold weather and immediately commence the transportation of coal. On Friday the Company filed the last instrument of appropriations, of land in this county and the Commissioners made the last report in the assessment of damages. —————

UGH!—Elsewhere,

this morning, we

print a card from Mr. John Ilauer, a clerk in Mr. A. Nippert's store, who, on Sunday last, was delivered of a monster tapeworm, which measured scenty-nine feet. He was treated by Dr. Arnatid, who has ihe worm in his office 011 exhibition. Mr. Ilauer called on us last evening. He appears a mere skeleton. Heretofore he has had a mast voracious appetite, but since he got rid of his unwelcome guest he has scarcely any desire for food. He is loud in thanks for his happy deliverance.

THE Terre Haute Nail Works have orders in excess of their ability to manufacture. Oh, when shall we say as much for the Lafayette Nail Works?—I^fayette Journal.

Possibly when von get the works, the coal mines, the officers and operatives and a few other items. Be patient.

DIVORCED.—Wc understand that Mrs. Hattie Ashwin, a daughter of Colonel Nelson, American Minister to Mexico, was divorced from her husband, Dr. E. A. Ashwin, a couplc of weeks ago, in Wayne county. Mrs. Ashwin resided in this citv last winter, and was well thought of by our citizens.—Mount Vernon Advocate.

WE find the following in yesterday's Evansville Journal: Johnny Lawton, the Southern Clown, and his wife, the celebrated female balloon ascensionist, left on the train yesterday evening, en route to Sullivan, to attend the Horse Fair at that place. They will give a balloon ascension at Sullivan this week.

VIGO COUNTY AHEAD.—Mr. Morton C. Rankin, County Treasurer, informs us that the Auditor of State compliments our county for having returned more delinquent tax, collected, than any other County up to date of settlement. Over half the counties have been heard from.

THE DIRECTORSof the St. Louis, Vandalia and Terre Haute railroad hope to have cars running upon the line by the first of March next. It will not be delayed much beyond that date, if any. The heaviest work is between this city and Marshall. s* &

CLAr COIJ5TY LETTER.

THE MINER'S STRIKE—FURNACES—MORE ABOUT THE TRIBULATIONS OF A PREACH­

ER—CLAY COUNTY AND THE "NIGGER —DEITZ, ETC. J,

A fortnight since our last and yet the situation, as regards the "miner's strike," is unchanged. The diggers remain obdurate. The proprietors stand firm and un yielding and the prospect for active resumption of work is apparently distant as ever. The whole fraternity of miners in the coal region is in strong sympathy and is doing all it can to aid and abet the refractory ones. It is the universal testimony of the managers that the force at work at the several mines where the strike has not extended, have only been doin half work the past two months. The aim seems to be to simply do enough to retain their situations, while the stock of coal is being rapidly exhausted $nd'the furnaces are obliged to accede to the demand or "blow out."

The miners at the new shaft of the Indianapolis Rolling Mill Company, near Harmony, came out last Tuesday morning in full force and demanded an advance of fifteen cents per ton. The demand not being complied with they returned to work thirty days longer, at the end of which time they will "strike" if the additional fifteen cents is not allowed. By a special contract the employes [sic] of this company are required to give thirty days notice before quitting under penalty of forfeiture of all pay due them. The company on the other hand cannot discharge a man under the same thirty days notice. The system works well and ought to prevail to a greater extent.

The Western Iron Company will "blow out" their second farnace [sic] in a few days on account of the stock of coal being exhausted and to do some necessary repairs. There will then be but a single furnace (the Planet) of the five hereabouts in blast.

The puddlers in the employ of the Western Iron Company "struck" Wednesday, and the Rolling Mill is now on stand still.

In a previous letter brief mention was made of "ministerial tribulations," and particnlar attention was called te the ase of Rev. Montgomery, whose short ojourn and hasty exit from his assigned field of labor had been a matter of surprise to many. The facts are about as follows. At the recent general conference of ihe M. E. Church for this distiict the gentleman we mention was assigned fill scve.al appoin men'.s—including Harmony, Staunton and two other points, lie arrived at Harmony on the 4 o'clock p. M. train accompanied by his wife and oilier "fixins" and being an entire stranger began at once making inquiries of the brethren and endeavoring to find a stopping place. His first appearance was not encouraging, and the shades of night had began to gather ere he found a place to rest his weary head. lie was occupied the few succeeding davs of his stay in canvassing the appointments, but met with little or no encouragement. But Harmony was vet to be heard from, a town of some five hundred inhabitants and surrounded by a thickly populated country. What might he not expect? There were five saloons in the town supporting ten men, as many women, and forty children, and lie would be the only preacher.* Here seemed to be a good opening. A special meeting of the Honorable Board of Trustees was called. The proposition befote the meeting was, "JIow much can jve jvuj the brother to keep our flock in chargc?" The entire sum to be raised as finally agreed upon was 8300.^— The different appointments to contribute pro rata in making up the amount The quoto of Harmony was S140. The next important question was, "ichcrc shall the brother be quarteredIt was finally decided with the approbation of the whole assembly, that he should take up a residence with a certain needy family and where a woman's help was requited. By this arrangement the minister's wife was to work in part payment of their board. This was more than the Rev. gentleman could withstand and he determined to let the flock go to the—well, no matter. Deacon McK in the fullness of his heart handed the preacher a to pay his way home and the meeting adjourned. Rev. Harrison, Mr. Montgomery's immediate predecessor, was to be paid S300 for the year but his collections did not aggregate ?100, all told.

Clay county never offered a hospitable footing to the "irrepressible nigger."— There area few—a very few—in Brazil, and, perhaps, a couple at Bowling Green, but that is all. A manufacturer at Staunton, recently imported a negro from Terre Haute, to fire and run an engine, but he was only allowed to stay a short time, and the proprietor had to send him oft between two days, to save his scalp.

But one. attempt has ever been made to acclimate and colonize the "nigger" at Ilarmonv. Something more than a year ago, a saloon-keeper named Shaffer, more money-loving than amalgamation-fear-ing, imported an "ace of spades," in view of starting an opposition barber shop, hut the project not meeting with general approval, a notice was publicly served on the neg.o that the sun could not shine 011 him another morn, in Harmony, and like the instance at Staunton, he "lit out" in the darkness. Occasionally a pedestrian negro is seen passing along the railroad through these little towns, and it is most amusing to see the

whole

population turn out to gaze upon the weary unfortunate, The Fifteenth Amendment is adding intensity to the alreadv great horror conncctcd with the idea of amalgamation. The presence of a negro is considered as infectious to a white skin, as the vapor of your artesian water to a silver watch.

Dan Deitz, who about a year ago was sentenced to the penitentiary several years for cutting his wife's throat, was back here attending the last term of the Circuit Court. He was allowed full liberty, and was probably the most "lionized" of any man at the court. Everybody seemed glad to see him. Even those who had been his chief persecutors seemed determined to rival in courtesies. He is said to have been a very good man when out of liquor. A good deal of sympathy runs in his favor and it is not unlikely that he will shortly be reprieved.

His wife, whose virtue is questioned, married a worthless character very soon afterward, and this incident has had much to do with the public sympathy. She has within a few weeks parted with her second husband. Deitz claims that the throat cutting was an accident. That he was engaged picking his teeth with the knife when his wife fell against it.

A MONSTER TAPE-WORM

SEYEMY-FIVE FEET IS LENGTH

A CARD FROM JOHN HAUER.

I have been suffering for the last 11 years from tape-worm. I was 15«years old when I first found out that I was afflicted with it. In Hamburg, Germany I have been treated by physicians forsev en years, without success. I came to America about four years ago, and have been treated by several doctors and some of then come very near kill in me and did not help me any On last -Friday the 15th of October Dr. A. Arnaud came to Mr. Nippert's store where I am clerking, and having been recommended to Dr. Arnaud, I then saw him and asked him ifhe could cure me of the tape worm, ne told me he could. I then told him that I had been treated by many Doctors without any relief and all of them almost killed me in each attempt to destroy the worm. Then Doctor Arnaud told me that he would not take me a day from the store, that lie would put me under treatment at once, 011 Friday night, and that on Sunday morning

I

would be delivered of the

worm and 0:1 Monday able to go to work. I took the medicine as directed and was delivered of the worm, seventy-nine feet in length, Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, as Doctor Arnaud said. I felt like work on Sunday. I slept all night, the first night I had for eleven ye'ars. O11 Monday morning I went to the store as usual, and do recommend all those who are suffering, totheeare ofDr. A. Arnaud.

Dr. Arnaud has the worm in his office, and all those who want satisfaction may go there and the Doctor will be pleased to show it to them.
