audience assembled at Dowling ITall, last evening—the capacious room being filled to its utmost capacity bv the very best class of our people. On the stage were nearly all the ministers of our city, services being suspended for the evening in most of the churches. The music, in charge of Mr. I'aig.*, was of a Congregational character, and rendered with fine effect. After singing the Doxology: "Praise (tod from whom all blessings How," Dr. Jewett, chairman, said that this was the second meeting in the interest of Temperance Alliance, which had adopted the original pledge of the Washingtonians there was nothing of a sectarian or political character connected with the organization, the'sole purpose being to arrest the growing evils of intemperance.

He stated that speakers engaged for tli evening had failed to appear and the meeting must rely on volunteer effort.' and introduced in succession Revs. B. W. Smith, K. F. Howe and J. Foxworth each of whom'favored the vast audience with .short, sharp and effective addresses,

W. Husher made a statement of the organization of the Temperance Alliane some two years since with thirty-three members, and now numbering nearly^fiv thousand. He read the pledges adopted and stated that they would lie presented at the next meeting.

It is proposed to hold a series of these meetings, the next in order to be two weeks from last evening.

LICENSES

Davenports this week will cause some interest to attach to the following from the <Pall Mall Gzaette> [sic], on the mechanics of spirit rappings: "Those who are in the habit of listening with awe and adoration to the solemn utterances of domestic furniture, will read with some surprise a letter in the <Standard>, from Mr. W. G. Faulkner, philosophical instrument maker, in which he states that for many years he has had a large sale for spirit-rapping magnets and batteries, expressly made for concealment under the floor, in cupboards, under tables, and even for the interior of the center support of large round tables and boxes. He has supplied, also, quantities of prepared wire to be placed under the carpets and oilcloth, or under the wainscot and gilt beading around ceilings and rooms. All these, he says, were obviously used for spirit rapping and the connection to each rapper and battery was to be made by means of a small button, like those used for telegraphic bell ringing purposes, or by means of brass headed or other nails, under the carpet of particular patterns known to the spiriualist [sic]. These rappers, he adds, when carefully placed, are calculated to deceive the most wary. Then there are spirit rapping magnets and batteries constructed expressly for the pocket and these, he tells us, will of course rap at any part of the room. He has also made drums and bells which will beat and ring at command but these two latter are not so frequently used as the magnets because they are too easily detected. We quite believe Mr. Faulkner, but we should like to know who gave him the order for all these wires, magnets and batteries." —————

It is an imposition that we will not longer tolerate. If the paper is worth reading it is worth paying for. The paper costs but a few cents per week to an individual, while in the aggregate the outlay to the publisher is many hundreds of dollars. Our dead-head list has been marked out.

Kress, a son of George W. Kress, of Brazil, accidentally shot himself with a revolver last Monday.

The wound, though severe and painful, is not dangerous. —————

JOHN STEVENS, the murderer of John

That famous decision of a Police Judge who said that in the eyes of the law there is great difference between "McCarty come out, and come out McCartv," is brought to mind by the question as to whether a sweet potato is a grain or fruit specie.— This curious question has recently been submitted to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Under the excise laws, stills producing whisky from fruit are exempt from taxation, or subject to a lower tax than those distilling from grain, and as spirits are manufactured extensively from sweet potatoes in Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, the point has arisen. The Commissioner, it is now reported, has decided that, within the meaning of the act of Congress, sweet potatoes must be considered as grain. The decision, however, is probably based upon the principle that as sweet potatoes are not fruit, they should be placed under the general operations of the excise law. —————

balky horse is,

no doubt, a very disagreeable and aggravating creatine to deal with, and it is no wonder that thc driver loses his patience occasionally. Wc saw a man the other day bringing a refractory horse to terms by hooking a chain around the jaw and then savagely jerk it. Tt looked hard, but then it was effective. On Saturdav morning we saw a lad with a wagon load of bricks and a balky horse, adopt thc expedient of blindfolding the animal Intying his coat over his eyes, but it didn't work. The horse utterly refused to "go it blind," and the driver had to return to the old-established practice in such cases, alternately coaxing and whaling. The best thing we know of is to fill the horse's mouth full of gravel. We have seen this tried successfully. We cannot account for it, unless the horse gets to thinking "whats that for?" and forgets his stubbornness.

the reader to observe the different intonations of voice, and variety of style and manner of the friendly salutation "good morning? Make a note of it this moriiand mark the difference of thc "good mornings" that greet you en route to business. The first shot fired, perhaps, is from the rotund and rubicund chinned family physician, who has" halted over the way, who looks, bows and says "good 'maiming," as he alights on the pavement, the jar seeming to squeeze the salute out of him, like a whistle from an India rubber doll. The next is from the the bilious chcst of a morose and moody acquaintance, who regards you as he does nil nature with a jaundiced eye, and who snaps out a monosylable monnink" f. oni behind his mufflers, which seems to be cut off spitefully by his rat-terrier teeth, and whiffed at you like a whisk of January wind round a cold corner from steel blue lips. Then conies something more cheery from the rosy faced school boy who smiles lie says, "good morninsr." but the dainlittle "good morning" of little sweet ix'ecn. as she bound1 by you, plainly poken in silvery tones, by rose-red lips covered by a dotted veil, is positively ex-' hilerating.

LARCENY.

On Thursday Deputy

Marshal O'Mara arrested James Patridge, charged with stealing a lot of clothing from Charles Alexander, and spoons and tumblers from Tom Langford. Nearly all the articles were recovered. On being taken before the Mayor, he waived an examination and in default of

the murderer of John

Reeves, arrived on Thursday and is now in jail. He was accompanied by Sheriff Stewart, Chief of Police Crowe and F. M. Davis, Deputy Sheriff at St. Joseph, Missouri. From the latter, who took the lead in the arrest, we learn that he first obtained information of Stevens through William Francis, formerly of this city, who saw and recognized him at the town of. Hamburg, Iowa, some four weeks since. Mr. Davis immediately telegraphed here, and, on Saturday last, Sheriff Stewart went out there. The latter remained out of sight while Davis made the arrest. Stevens did not appear at all surprised, and seemed willing to return. He claims that Reeves drew an ax on him and that he felt justified in shooting him. When arrested he was engaged driving a team, and the people of Hamburg represent him as leading a quiet, orderly and industrious life.

Stevens states that after breaking jail he went down Second street, across to Farrington grove, and then northward up Sixth street. It will be remembered he escaped on Saturday night. He remained in the vicinity of Otter Creek until Monday night, since which time he has not been in this vicinity. While at Montezuma he saw three officers from this city looking for him. He denies being at Pana at the time he was reported to have been there. He crossed the river at Lafayette, and put out for the Far West; went as far as Montana; became alarmed and came back. He was in constant dread of capture, and kept moving from place to place. Whenever he saw a face that he imagined he recognized he left for some other locally. He has kept a diary giving a complete history of his travels since he left here. He seems in good health and spirits, notwithstanding he says he has never for a day been free from an impending sense of capture and danger. He seems to feel the present <denoument> as a relief, since it will settle the whole matter one way or thc other, while heretofore a dread has been hanging ever above him. —————

COUNTERFEITER?—What

use do you make, reader, of a counterfeit fifty-cent Postal Currency, which you find in your pocket book, and do not know where it has come from? Do you invariably tear it up, or burn it up; are you careful that it does not get out of your pocket, into circulation again? Have you not sometimes rolled up such a bit of fractional curcency [sic], suspecting it to be counterfeit, and willing to "get rid of it"—by chance or accident, as it were— and so keep square with your conscience?

We have seen men—men whom we would have trusted with our pocket book —return a counterfeit fifty-cent piece to their pockets after they were convinced that it was spurious. What does such an action mean—provided that the man is ignorant, as is generally the case, as to where he got thc counterfeit? It means that he is not ready to bear the loss of fifty cents like an honest man. The action is a dishonest action. He has no right to put a counterfeit where there is any possibility of his passing it into circulation again. The honorable proceeding is to burn it or tear it up thc very moment its worthlessness becomes evident. Do not hesitate a second. If you have not this habit fixed upon you, cultivate it! With- out it, you are in league with counterfeiters. You are one of the "gang"—yon are not an honest man. Let this rule apply to a ten cent "stamp" and a ten dollar greenback equally and rigidly. There are only two questions to be asked. Is this a counterfeit? Yes. Do I know who gave it to me? No. Burn it—tear it up —do not return it to your pocket as vou value your honesty!

BOLD THEFT!—QUEER HIDING PLACE!

—Yesterday morning James F. Quear stepped into the Echo saloon, on East Main ssreet [sic], and asked the proprietor to change a $50 bill. As he laid it down on the counter James Green, who was standing by, snatched it up and ran out. He was followed and arrested. On being taken before Esq. Denehie he was committed to jail to await the action of the grand jury. The bill, however, could not he found, although the man was thoroughly searched. After being in jail about half a day, officer Vanderver persuaded him to reveal the hiding place, which was <his mouth>, outside the teeth. The bill

ANOTHER OLD RESIDENT GONE.—John

B. Richardson, recently of York, Ills., died at Brazil Thursday, and was brought to this citv Friday morning for interment.

He afterwards resided for a few years at or near Roscville, in Parke county. In 182G or 1827 he removed to York Illinois and established himself as a merchant at that place. He continued to reside at York for more than forty years, for the most part actively engaged in business pursuits,- lie was a gentleman of education, fine intellectual qualities and pleasing address.

Cox & Son have been

consolidated under the name of Ilulman & .Cox. The stock of Cox & Son has been removed to Ilulman's old stand, corner of Main and Fifth streets, where rt*e new firm is now doing a much more extensive business than was ever before done by any house in this city. With their large, elegjyit and commodious warehouse—thc best building in the State for the purpose to which it is devoted—their ample capital, and thorough acquaintance with the trade, there is no reason to doubt that they will continue to iilcreasc their business to any extent that they may desire. As an indication of the range of country through which this firm sells goods, we may mention thai they shipped bills on Saturday to the States of Iowa and Arkansas.

to Missouri and Kansas, has been greater this Fall than at any period for several years. Hundreds of wagons containing the goods and families of the Westernbound emigrants have passed along our streets during the past two months. But the near approach of Winter has put a stop to emigration of that character for the present. It will be renewed next season, probably, with more vigor, and still more extensively than heretofore.— The lands of the Eastern and Middle States have become so costly in price as to preclude the poorer classes from obtaining farms of their own, hence they go West, into Kansas, where farms can be purchased at small price, and where, in turn, they will become possessors of good homes at but little cost, and consequently, independent. Missouri and Kansas are filling up rapidly, and the homes of those who emigrate there, and which cost but little, will soon be highly improved and very valuable. Young men who lounge about the streets, and who have a few hundred dollars, would do well to go to the prairies of the West, and improve the lands of the new States, destined, eventually, to be the richest and most populous of any in the Union. —————

THE DAVENPORTS.

We notice jjfthe

Davenports under this head more for convenience than from a sense of propriety. Last night their famesecincd to culminate, at least, in one direction, for among the audience there was a universal acquiescence in the conclusion that, their awfully mysterious manifestations were not thc result of tricks of any description, and if not of spirit poWer, the result of some occult force or hidden law with which the scientific world is as yet imperfectly acquainted. The long bare arms of three or four distinct signs were plainly visible, and shown, too, while the doors were partially open. Now, to suppose thaf thc Davenports could untie themselves, take off their coals, unbutton their shirt-sleeves, and roll them up, and then put themselves back again with their coats on, and bound up hand and feet in less than twenty seconds, is simply preposterous. We say let a rational investigation of these wonderful exhibitions be made. We would like to see Professor Henry as one of the committee.

KENO! HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED!—

"What is that game in which one of the players calls out 'Keno!' and the others exclaim 'Oh h—1!' was once asked by somebody. Never having 'bucked the tiger' although it has had its den in this city from time to time, we cannot answer the question, but the following description from the Detroit <Post> of the Kenoroom in operation may prove interesting to the uninitiated, as well as those who have "taken the chances:"

Keno, which has in a great measure taken the place of faro, at least in the Northwest, is founded, on the German game called "Lotto," a diversion of sport. It was originally intended for children, or, when carefully played, by older persons, and made some skill and calculation necessary. Gradually it was altered and amended until it has become a means of seemingly cheap, but in fact terribly expensive, gambling.

Five or six long tables in the room are strewn with thick pasteboard cards, each about 7 by 3 1/2 inches in size. In the center of each card is a number in large figures. This card is in fact the player, for, as will be seen, the rest of the game is merely mechanical as regards the men playing. There are 21 spaces or squares marked on the card—7 horizontal and 3 perpendicular. In 6 of these squares on each of the horizontal row of spaces are small figures each space containing a number chosen at random from 1 to 200. This fills just 15 squares out of 2i1 leaving six blank spaces. The number of the card is- sued is 200 in the room described, and each player has the large central number mentioned above, registered on a board with holes fot pegs, and numbered to correspond with the cards. Every player pays 25 cents to the banker for one of the cards described, and if more than one is used he pays the same price for each additional one, and the game opens. A man on the dais, in the center of the room, whirls a bottle-shaped wooden thing, which is filled with little balls, numbering, as is the board, from 1 to 200. At each revolution one of these balls is thrown out of this bottle and caught in the hand of the operator, who cries out the number marked on it, and every player whose card contains the corresponding number covers the figures with a button or check. The player who first fills a straight row of five numbers called "Keno," is entitled to the stakes in the banker's hands, minus 25 per cent.

Placing the number of players at twenty, what are the chances of winning? They have deposited $6; a quarter each—that is, if each one of them plays one card.— Of this the banker takes $1 25, leaving 3 75 to the winner. Here are twenty players each holding a card with a different combination of numbers, to be covered as called.— Two, three, five, six, or more players may cover a number at the same time, unless the little balls indicate four other numbers on the same line, his chances of winning are gone. So the great number

of players the less chance for winning the pool. If twenty play, the odds are nineteen to one. This would seem enormous odds, but it is not all. Out of 200 you have but 15 figures that can possibly win, that is, you have 3 rows of figures each, and one of these rows must be covered 13 1/w chances against one! Now the odds in favor of the player are very small if he wins he gets 15 times as much as he invested. The balance, then, can be fairly cast as follows: Odds against player..........32 1/2

Odds in favor of players 15

Total against chances of winning 17 1/2 Yet young men and old men take this venture nightly, when in the ordinary course of business they would hesitate to risk anything at a tithe of such odds. It must be clear that they are only depositing in the coffers of an unscrupulous gambler a percentage of their winnings, which are very small at best, and that the banker cannot loose [sic] anything, but must gain.—

urdav. He. spent i_und.iy .in leech, it is hard to imagine, but they do

and night after night men who move in good society can be seen bending over one of these fifteen figured cards, vainly attempting to calculate what combination of figures will win in the next deal, as if there were any arithmetical problem that can be solved by little balls whirling rap-

In keno, as in faro, the chances of winning are inadvariably [sic] against the player, and frequently great care is taken by the operators that a player has no chance at all. A "brace" or "skin" game is often played, and done in this manner: The operator, as the balls fall from the bottle, or wheel, calls out the numbers. He is invariably a professional gambler, of course, and has it in his power to call the real number or a false one if he chooses. When he desires to favor the "house cards" (and these things are sometimes numerically dealt out), he calls out the number that is on the card, and which is in the hand of his friend, and all risks by outsiders are easily taken in the "fraternity." —————

COAL AND IRON.—The trade of tghe

In the southwest corner of Greene county, the same vein of coking coal which was traced north, into Vermillion county, and which forms the western margin of the block coal belt was found. At Edwardsport, in Knox county, there are two seams, the upper one being from four and a half to five feet thick, and the other one, twen-ty-five feet lower, from three and one-half to five feet thick, and of excellent quality. The belt extends south to the Ohio river, and is the same that comes out at Newburg and Cloversport.

The iron ore of Greene county, it will be remembered, we spoke of in connection with the previous visit of Prof. Cox, to Greene county. This is generally located on the east side of White river; many of the deposits being very rich. The proprietors of the Brazil furnaces are anxious to open communication with that region and use this ore in connection with the Missouri ores, and will doubtless succeed in doing so before long.

Thc next trip of Prof. Cox will be made in a few days to Vermillion county. =====

country to the south-west of us is not the only thing to be brought to our city by the building of the Bloomfield road, hut it will open up a section of country, hitherto almost unknown and bring in its rich deposits of coal and iron, that for ages have been hidden. From yesterday's Indianapolis <Journal> we learn that Prof. E. T. Cox, our State Geologist, last week took a trip down the Vincennes railroad to Greene county, and beyond. He was absent only three or four days this time, but made some interesting discoveries.— Northwest of Worthington, about two and one-half miles, he found the block coal in a vein thirty-three inches thick, and about the same distance to the southwest, the same vein, about thirty inches thick. This is a part of the same extensive belt which we have heretofore spoken of, extending north through Clay and Parke counties. It is about the same width, and is traced as far south as Owensboro, in Martin county.
