THE BRAZIL FUENACE is still idle
1 K1IAN summer clothes were out of season yesterday.
'OWEN COUNTY furnishes the stone for our Opera House.
THREE DRUNKS in the Mayor's Court yesterday. One young man made his first visit before His Honor. He received a gentle admonition and a light fine. The other two were "dead beats," without money, and were let off.
THE CHAIN GANG has "played." Street Commissioner Purdy goes out with his force at seven o'clock each morning, and cannot, or at least does not return for prisoners, who do not get breakfast until near nine o'clock. —————
THE CITY needs two new school houses to accommodate properly the present number of scholars desirous of attending the public schools and this besides the facilities afforded by the Normal School building—so says one of the City Trustees.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—Monday afternoon as the mail train on the St. Louis road was coming this way, it was run into at the Pana crossing by a train on the Illinois Central, demolishing the Express car. Nobody hurt. —————
WE learn that Messrs C. A. Imbrev, of this city, and Jacob D. IToltzcrninn, of Dayton, Ohio, has purchased the Mcngel brewery property on Seventh street, and will open the concern for business within the next fortnight.
SHERIFF STEWART says he intends, hereafter, as far as possible, to catch those people who complain of the verdicts and talk of packed juries, and place them on juries, in order that they may see how juries are made up. —————
THE TRIAL of the Brown boys will be coinuiunced in the Criminal Court this morning. Sheriff Stewart lias summoned a special venire of jurymen. The Stittc will be represented by D. W. Voorhees and B. O. ITanna. The defence will be conductcd by Baird & Cruft, Judge Ilanna and William Mack.
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES of the City Schools, have determined to put a furnace in the Normal School building, with which to heat the large session room on the first floor, and to furnish stoves to warm the smaller ones on the same floor. These heating arrangements are to be completed within the next two weeks, and the Central and some of the Ward school houses are then to be relieved of the present. terrible pressure of .scholars.
COUGHS AND COLDS arc now the order of the day. Almost every other person you meet is barking or complaining with a cold. To those afflicted we cordially and honestly call attention to Barr's Pectoral advertised in this paper. It has been thoroughly tested for a number of years for the various affections of the lungs and throat, such as coughs, colds, croup asthma, bronchitis, hoarseness, etc., and I lie many testimonials in the possession of
Barr, Gulick & Berry, from well-known citizens, prove it to be a most efficacious rcmedv.
POSTAGE STAMPS—We are pleased to learn there is soon to be another change of postage stamps, those in use now being much inferior in point of beauty and convenience to the old style. The new styles are being prepared, and the stamps are to be similar to those formerly in use, the heads of Washington, Jackson, Lincoln and Jefferson to be restored as profile busts and to represent the various denomations. There are to be 100 on a sheet, as before, instead of 150, as now, which will make it more convenient both buyers and sellers, in counting out. The change will be beneficial to all concerned. —————
TROT HIM: OUT!—The Journalstates tlmt there is a little boy in this city, thirteen years of age, who perforins nearly as wonderfully as the Davenport brothers in the rope icing business. On several occasions he has been pi a cud in a darkened room, securely tied. In a few seconds after being left alone the ropes were untied and tho little fellow set at liberty. On being ased by his father how it was done he replied that he could not tell or explain, as the business was done bv some agenev to him unknown!
STATE CHRISTIAN CONVENTION.—The call is out for Stale Christian Convention to be held in this city, December 7th, STh and !th.
Amonglhe speakers designated to open the debates 011 questions assigned, are D. L. Moody of Chicago, Kcv. Edmund P. Ingersoll and Col. John W. Kay of Indianapolis, and C. l'\ Coffin of Richmond.
The Kail Koads generally grant cither excursion tickets or free return passes. We hope the citiz.ens generally will prepare to extend a generous hospitality to the delegates.
NEW TREASURY NOTES.—We were shown yesterday by Mr. John S. Beach, of the Prairie City Bank, specimens of the new greenbacks, of the denominations of one and two dollars. On the one dollar bill a large portrait of Washington occupies the center, and Columbus discovers America on the upper left hand corner, while his subordinates kneel about him in humble acknowledgement that amid all their murmurings his "head was level" all the time. On the two dollar bill the center vignette is a view of the national capitol and the one to the left a portrait of Jefferson. The back of the bill bears a "two" in three places, one being expressed in figures, another in Roman numerals, and a third in full letter. The bills are very handsome, and, by way of keeping up our well-known reputation for encouraging aesthetic art, we have decided to take all bills of the kind that may be offered in payment ot accounts due to the EXPRESS. ————
THE JAIL A NUISANCE.—-Any person who will step inside the front hall of the jail and inhale the foul air which isues [sic] through the grated door, will, as he involuntarily holds his nose, attest the. truth of the heading of this item. How the prisoners endure this foul stench is more than we can tell, unless it is that, as an official told us a few days since, "they get used to it !" The recent grand jury visited the jail, as is the usual custom, and reported it in a very good condition except the privy, which was declared to be in such condition as to be a nuisance. The jury recommends that the Sheriff be empowered to make the necessary improvements or changes that may be conducive to the health of those who may be incarcerated therein. Six months ago the grand jury made a similar report, but nothing was done in regard to it.
CLINTON BRIDGE.—The piles are going down and the piers going up rapidly for the new railroad bridge at Clinton. —————
THE different Railroads centering here will soon change their time of running trains, probably a week from to-day.
THE SAVINGS BANK is to be put into immediate operation. A meeting will be held this week to complete the organization.
QUITE an improvement has been made in the TERRE HAUTE EXPRSS.-. This is one of our best Republican exchanges. Btoomfield Democrat.
MR. HULMAN has been receiving corn for hisdisiillerv by railroad from Illinois, during last week, for less than fifty cents a bushel, delivered.
THE managers of the new Indianapolis railroad will "make the fur fly" this week, putting down the track at the rate of half a mile or more a day. —————
THIS is elegant weather forgathering com, and every industrious and provident farmer is busily engaged in that kind of work. The shiftless class will let the job go over until the snows of winter cover the fields.
SACIIATH SCHOOL CONCERT at the Baptist Church on to-morrow evening, commencing at 7 o'clock. Short addresses will be delivered by Rev. Dr. Jewett, W. W. Byers, 0. Bartlett and the Pastor of the church, interspersed with singing by the children.
THE BUILDERS of the Opera House are improving this fine weather, and are pushing up the walls rapidly. 'Tisapity they didn't commence earlier in the season, so that we could have had the magnificent pile of bricks and stone to look at all winter.
THERE were several strikes among the miners at different points, in Clay county, last week, but their demands in every instance, were complied with. The miners at Knightsville resumed work a week ago, having gained their point, an advance of fifteen cents per ton, making $l,25. ————
THE GREAT "MILL" between Allen and McCoole, which was to have taken place on the 10th inst., within fifty miles of Cincinnati, for $5,000, is probably "off," owing to some disagreement between the backers, of the two men as to who shall be final stake-holder. Allen is anxious to fight for the excursion money alone. This will be unpleasant news to several of "the fancy" in this citv.
A CENTENARIAN.—John Walker, a colored man residing in the northeast part of this county, aged one hundred and even yearn, was at the County Clerk's office Saturday afternoon, giving his deposition to a couple of Vincennes lawyers in a suit for some old land claim. His testimony ran back before the battle of Tippecanoe, when Harrison was at Vincennes. He was a slave at the time.
MARRIAGE LICENSES were issued last week by the County Clerk to the following parties: Wm. C. P. Morton and Margaret McGrau. Sam'l R. Engols and Sarah Hopewell. Thos. Lauwing and Sarah A. McCameron. Jas. W. Fagan and Dorcas Y. Hale. Nicholas Bickel and Katy O'Neil. Jas. Grace and Elizabeth Ilennesev. Vineyard F. Sparks and Mary Purcell. B. Irwin W. Koontz and Emily Ilale. Thomas Kelly and Sarah Lyons. Wm. J. Keisnian and Charlotte Schafcr.
THROWN FROM A HORSE.—Yesterday evening Mr. Jacob White, groceryman, on the corner of Fourth and Cherry streets, was thrown by a vicious horse he was riding, near the new Providence Hospital, lie received a severe injury on the back of the head, from which he laid insensible on the ground near half an hour, when a gentleman, who met the runaway horse a mile north of the accident, came along and picked him up. He was conveyed to his residence, where he was resting quite eomfortablv last evening.
STATE GEOLOGY.—The State Geologist will go next week to Vermillion county, as already stated. Dr. G. M. Levette, who is acting as his assistant, and who certainly makes a valuable one, especially in the way of perfecting the plans and maps, analyses, etc., will go, at the same time, to Putnam, Clay and Parke coun-
ties, for the purpose of tracing the eastern line of the coal belt, and making some other investigations. The excavations on the line of the new railroad will aid in this enterprise.
After the return from the next trip it is probable that no more explorations will be made until spring. In the meantime, a vast amount of work can be done in the labratory, in the way of examining and testing the various specimens collected.— <Ind. Journal>. —————
FRAUDS AS TO STAMPS.—It should he understood that on deeds of land stamps should be placed sufficient in amount to cover the United States tax on the entire consideration. This law is frequently evaded; sometimes from ignorance, but more often from stinginess and a desire to cheat Uncle Sam.
One evasion, or rather violation of the law is to avoid expressing the entire consideration, as in a conveyance by quit claim, where the consideration is a valuable one, to state it as one dollar. Another is to express it in warranty deeds, as, for instance, "for five hundred dollars," and at the close of the description of the land, to state that it is "subject to the payment of four promissory notes for one hundred dollars each, with interest," etc., payable to a third party, and the deed only bearing a fifty cent stamp.
The penalty for such failure to properly stamp is fifty dollars, one half of which goes to the informer.
The attention of internal revenue officers has been called to these frauds on the Government, and we make mention of them to inform the ignorant of their liabilities. —————
ANOTHER SUICIDE.—On Friday afternoon. a German, named Henry Wittembrock, was found dead in his own house on Chestnut street, about a square east of the depot. On the outside of the house was a placard giving notice that the house was for rent. Mr. John Shewhart, wishing to rent the same, went to look at it yesterday afternoon, and going to the rear of the house, looked through a window and saw the man lying on a bed. Several men then entered the house and found beside the man a bottle and glass, in both of which there had been laudanum. It is supposed that he had been dead about twelve hours.
The deceased was about forty years of age, and had recently been divorced from his wife. He served during the war as Sergeant in the 35th Indiana, after which he was for some time a car-wiper for the T. H. & I. R. R. Of late he has earned a precarious living by sawing wood, but owing to intemperate habits, has not done much work. He had on his soldier clothes when he took the fatal draught, and died all alone.
Coroner Christy summoned a jury who after hearing the above facts, returned a verdict that "the deceased came to his death from the effects of laudanum, administered by himself".'

HULMAN'S Distillery pays a good share of revenue tax. During the seventeen days it was in operation last month it paid to Collector Magill $6,331—fifty cents on each gallon of whisky. In addition to this there are assessments amounting to about $1,200. —————
GOOD BUSINESS.—The Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad returns to the Assessor of Internal Revenve [sic] it [sic] receipts for the month of October as follows: Gross receipts from passengers $41,811.87; for carrying mail $1,216.07; making a total of $43,038.54. On this a tax of $1,075.72 is to be paid—2 1/2 per cent. —————
THOMAS KING, fireman on a construction train of the E. & C. Railroad, was severely injured by the accidental discharge of a shot gun which he was carelessly handling while waiting for the pay train to pass, at Stacers's Station on Friday. The thumb and fore finger of his left hand were torn off at the upper joint, several shot lodged in his shoulder and one or two in his scalp. Paymaster Genung conveyed the wounded man to Fort Branch, where he was properly cared for. —————
CRIMINAL COURT.—In this Court on Friday Charles Dorge, committed by Esq. Denehie, on charge of stealing harness from Samuel Conner a few days since, was taken from jail on a writ of habeas corpus, and discharged from custody.
James Partridge, on charge of grand larceny, was tried by a jury, and declared not guilty.
George Null plead guilty to the charge of grand larceny, and was sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of two years. His offense was stealing clothing from Mr. Rothschild.
CRIMINAL COURT.—Erney received his sentence Thursday morning and was committed to jail where he is to serve thirty days.
His second trial, for the shooting of Mr. Brown, was set for the 25th inst. He made affidavit for a change of Judge.
The trial of Dr. Whittaker was "indefinitely postponed." John Stevens was arraigned and plead not guilty. His trial was set for the 16th inst. —————
His trial wadset for the 10th
THE PEW QUESTION.—We understand the members of one of our leading churches are agitating the question of doing away with the renting of pews, throwing the same open to the public, and rely on voluntary contributions to defray the expenses. The churches in Boston are endeavoring to do away with pew rents and reserved seats, and they find that the experiment, as far as it goes, pays well.— A church in Cambridge, which last year obtained fourteen hundred dollars from rented pews, this year received $3,000 by the voluntary contributions of those who occupied its free seats; and other churches which have tried the experiment find that they raise more money in that way than by renting their pews. —————
THE ST. L., V. & T. H. R. R. BRIDGE OVER THE WABASH.—In our search for items a few days since we chanced upon the locality of the new Railroad bridge over the Wabash and were surprised at the headway being made with it. It will consist of four spans of 166 feet each—664 feet; width of draw 166 feet. Total length of bridge 830 feet. Some sixty feet of the west span will be over what is for threefourths of the year, dry land, the river only reaching it during the freshets, thus relieving the abutment from so great a pressure as caused by a narrow channel. The superstructure is to be of wrought iron of the "Linville & Piper patent," and to be constructed by the famous "Keystone Bridge Company" of Pittsburg [sic], under the personal supervision of their Chief Engineer, Walter Katte, Esq., which Company guarantee its being one of the safest

LARCENY.—Charles Dorge was^commited to jail yesterday by Esq. Denehie for stealing a fior&encollar and Other ar--'ticles of harness from Samuel Conner.
TEBBE HAUTE has the good liauu UI doing, rather than "blowing." With no great "hulabab&o," or sounding of trumpets, we have secured two important railroads, while some other cities that we could mention have split the firmament with bloviation and have done little d.je.
WE LEARN that the City Council will at its next meeting, repeal the resolution requiring the Danville Railroad Company to lay down a separate-track from this city to Otter Creek thus allowing the company if it so desires, to run up on the Rockville extension. It would take about all the $100,000 subscribed by the city to build this track. One of the Councilmen who is opposed to the appropriation, will vote for this, for, as says he, as the company is going to have the money, it should be in such a way as will do some good.
MODEL TRAINING SCHOOL.—Prof. Olcott, Secretary of the Normal School Board informs us that he is now ready to receive application for admission of children over six years of age to the Model Training School. The price of tuition has been fixed at $5.00 per session of twelve weeks for the primary department, and $8.00 for the intermediate department. Arrangements have been made to accommodate from two to three hundred pupils, who will be placed under a pro" fessional training which will exhibit the best methods of teaching primary classes, and will afford an opportunity for practice in theory and art in the Normal Training department.
THE TRIAL OF ERNEY.—The argument in the Erney case, was concluded Wendesday at 4 o'clock, and the case submitted to the jury, which in a short time returned a verdict of guilty, and that he pay a fine of one hundred dollars and be imprisoned in the county jail thirty days.— This is for shooting Major Smith. He has yet to stand trial for shooting Mr. Brown.
We have heretofore repeatedly and emphatically expressed our opinion of the conduct of Erney in shooting Messrs. Smith and Brown and have characterized the act in what we deemed fitting terms. This verdict has not changed our views in any respect, nor will it affect the opinions of the community. As the case of Mr. Brown remains to be tried we deem it proper to refrain from further comment, desiring to do nothing that can furnish the defendant, or his counsel, an opportunity or apology for accusing the press of an attempt to forestall public opinion. —————
NORMAL SCHOOL.—At the meeting of the Board on yesterday the following action was taken.
The letter of acceptance of William A. Jones as President of the Factulty was read and ordered spread upon the records 4 j1
The Architect made a report," as called for in a resolution adopted at a previous meeting of the Boa d, estimating balance on hands after paying all amounts due on works and materials now contracted for, at about $2,000.

Resolved. That notice be given, by, the Secretary to the citizens of Terre Haute and vicinity that the Model Training Schools will be open for the reception of children over six years of age, at the rate of S5.00 per session of 12 weeks, for the Primary Department—and $8.00 for the Intermediate Department.

This settles the matter right here. If we have got to have war with thes [sic] fiendish Mormons, let us have it at once, and know what we have to depend upon."

THE DANVILLE ROAD.—The City Council held a special meeting on Saturday evening, and rescinded the resolution introduced by Mr. Rockwell requiring the company to build a track separate from the Rockville extension. This allows the company, if it so desires, to run down on that road from Otter Creek, and will save the outlay of a considerable amount of money in its construction. As at present only one train each way passes over that piece of the road daily, no possible inconvenience can result from this arrangement, and the farms and town lots in that direction will not be farther cut up.
The resolution was rescinded by a unanimous vote of the Council—Messrs. Lockwell and Seeburger being absent.
The Council also passed a resolution complimentary to Mr. Josephus Collett, and expressing confidence in his management, as President of the road.
We learn that immediately on hearing the action of the Council at its regular meeting the officers of the road determined to suspend all contracts, but there is no doubt that now the work will be prosecuted with vigor, and that by this time next year we shall have a direct road to Chicago, and be on the great route from that city to the South. The Council has done well in its action. —————
REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.—The following transfers of reai estate were entered upon the Recorder's^ books during last week:
Beverly D. Watts to Wm. R. Copeland, 40 acres in Pierson township for $600. Joseph Liston to Henry C. Liston, 85 acres in same township for $500.
Chauneey Rose to Francis Hay, 2 lots in ROPC'S subdivision for $800. Jacob Hager to Jacob Stark, 1 GO acres in Riley township for $2,100.
Bennett Stewart to Elisha Adanison, 80 acres in Otter Creek township for §1,500. John Maxwell to Thos. Thompson, 80 acres in Riley township for $2,200.
Geo. C. Duy to Mary Skinner, lot in Uookin*' addiiion for $400. Nathan Biggs to Jacob R. Tryon, acres in Pierspn township for SI00.
Samuel Bllek to John W. Brewster, 80 acres in Nevins township for $2,000. Wm. S. Jewell to Isaac T. Mills, lot in Rome's subdivision for $6"0.
George E. Hedges to Alinary Jewell lot in Siblovtown utr $S00,
NEW RAILROAD.—We find the following mention in the column of railroad news in yesterday's Indianapolis <Sentinel:>
The Logansport, Camden and Frankfort; the Frankfort and Crawfordsville, and Rockville and Crawfordsville Railway Companies were consolidated last week, and are now known as the Logansport, Crawfordsville and Southwestern Railway Company. The object is to get a southwestern connection at Evansville, and also a route to St. Louis. This road will intersect the Evansville and Crawfordsville Road near Rosedale, in Parke county. In connection with this line, a road is being built from Logansport to Detroit, which will give a continuous line from Detroit to Evansville. The consolidated road from Logansport to the Evansville and Crawfordsville Road will be about one hundred miles in length, and the prospect is good for its early completion. All the counties on the line, except Parke, have voted donations, and that county probably will, either as a whole or by township. When the road is completed, it will bring Parke county in direct connection with this city, via Crawfordsville, and the distance from Rockville to Indianapolis will be lessened twenty-five miles over the present route. John Lee, Esq., of Crawfordsville, is President of the new company. —————
A QUEER DEVELOPMENT.—We have very direct and credible authority for stating that sometime after Stevens, the murderer of John Reeves, escaped from jail in the summer of 1868, he addressed a letter to Gov. Baker in which be recounted his services to the country as a soldier during the rebellion, his previous good standing, &c., and then told the Governor he would return to Terre Haute and deliver himself upon condition that he (Gov. Baker,) would assure him a pardon. The Governor, like the honest and sensible man that he is, placed Stevens letter in an envelope and sent it to the Chief of Police of this city. Now comes in the queer part. The late Mr. Alloway was filling that position at the time, and we are told that he destroyed the letter with the remark to "let the matter drop." If this statement is true all around, and we have no reason to doubt it, it goes to show that Stevens might have been captured long ago!—<Journal>.
Justice to the memory of a faithful officer and a good citizen demands an explanation of the above. The letter to which the Journal alludes was sent by Gov. Baker to Sheriff Kizcr, and not only he, but all the peace officers of the county and city, tried to gain from it some clue to the whereabouts of Stevens. This, however, they could not do, as the letter <was not dated at any point, and was postmarked at Terre Haute>. It had been sent either by or to some person here, and dropped in our post office. Mr. Alloway never shirked his duty in this or any other matter. He was a good officer and true man. ———<>———
A WOMAN named Lucy J. Hill, yesterday in St. Louis filed a petition for divorce from Benjamin C. Sanford, a very wealthy young married man of that city. She alleges she was married to Sanford at Terre Haute, July 1st, 1865; that she did not know at the time he was a married man; that three children were born of the union, and one still lives. She asks the custody of this child, and $5,000 per year alimony. Mr. Sanford is nephew of Pierre Chouteau, Jr., deceased, is possessed of a large amount of property, and married to a daughter of one of the first families of St. Louis. His friends assert that it is a made up ease to extort money, and will be so proved while others believe the statement of the woman to be true, and that his wife will seek a divorce from him.
This Sanford is the man who, it will be remembered, late one Saturday afternoon a few weeks since, was tried for bigamy, in our Criminal Court, before a jury, Judge Crain presiding, and acquitted. It was strongly suspected at the time, from certain manoevres, that the indictment was procured merely for the purpose of obtaining an acquittal and using the record elsewhere. =====
