How is Tins FOR HIGH?—We learn that Messrs. Iludnut & Co., of the Hominy Mill, filled an order under peculiar circumstances, last Saturday afternoon. It appears that one of the firm gave a carte blanche order to three young ladies for "one cart load of mill product, if presented by said young ladies, they being unattended by any of the other sex, either as driver or assistant." Acting on this and with the expectancy of a savory dish of maizone for Sunday, the three ladies aforesaid obtained a carf and horse, and, as specified by the order, Hot attended, proceeded to the mill and demanded that the order be filled. Messrs. II. & Co. were somewhat surprised, but gracefully told them to load up. Then came the (ug of war. A barrel of hominy was first taken—it would not roll up the "skids" well, but had a wonderful tendency to go under the cart, instead of into it yet they succeeded. Next a couple of boxes of maizone were placed along side of the barrel of hominy. Two bags of fhorts followed, when the ladies declared their order filled, mounted their load and drove up to a grocery firm on Main street, where they disposed of the barrel of hominy for six dollars, cash, delivered in the store. The remainder of the load they divided amomr theirinc'lve*.
MOST of our city readers are already aware that 011 Saturday evening an unprovoked assault was made by a middliaged man, well-known in this city, upon a highly esteemed citizen, far advanced in life and feeble in health The attack was made upon the gentleman in his room at his own residence, and so far as we can learn, was of such a character as to demand the severest denunciation.— We had prepared a full report of the affair for publication in this issue, but at the urgent request of several friends of the gentleman assaulted, we have reluctantly consented to suppress it. There are numerous versions of the assault circulating about town, in which it is represented that great violence was used, and that the party attacked was knocked down with a chair and severely injured. Such, however, is not the fact. The. gentleman received only a single blow with the fist, and that not a severe one, and no serious or permanent injury was produced. The truth in this case is bad enough, and there is no necessity for exaggeration.
ACCIDENT!—A son of Lemuel Stuthard, residing in Nevins township, on Monday evening accidently had a portion of his hand and three fingers nearly severed by an axe in the hands of another. A couple of doctors in that neighborhood cut off the portion that was partially severed. Some doubts were entertained as to the necessity of this operation, but on yesterday morning, when a consultation was had and it was determined to cut off the entire hand at the wrist, the father of the young man told the amateur surgeons to desist, and immediately sent down to this city for Dr. Link, who went up last evening —————
THE MAYOR'S COL'UT had a lively run 011 yesterday. During the night previous the police made a descent upon a party of gamblers—some of the "five cent ante," men, and lodged them in jail—six in number. They were severally lined in small sums for gambling. One man was fined for allowing his houstto be used for gambling purposes. Three drunks and two disorderlies were docketed.
Patrick O'Conncll was sent to jail in default of S300 bail for stealing ten dollars' worth of horse blankets, Ac., from Esbnian, Tuell & McKcen.
A NEW thing for brides is a plain gold bracelet which fastens with a lock and golden key, and which the husband places 011 her arm at the altar, locking it, and placing the key on his watch chain. The bracelet cannot be removed without the husband's assistance, and thus both are constantly reminded of each other. Commenting 011 this, the wicked Indianapolis Minor avers that over that way 110 such reminder is necessary. The husband remembers his wife by a bald spot on the top of his head, and by the periodical presentation of milliner's bills.
ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening last, William McCamen, brakesman on the Terre Haute & Alton Railroad, met with a severe accident. In attempting to uncouple the cars at Tower Hill he fell, and the train passed over his legs, crushing both feet in a horrible manner. He was taken to Sullivan on Saturday afternoon. It is thought he will lose both his feet. —————

SUICIDE
Carl Goodwin Destroys his Life!
On Sunday morning Carlton A. Goodwin, a well-known citizen, committed sui cide by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. It appears that he had been away from home all the night previous, and returning at about eight o'clock Sunday morning he entered the stable at the rear of his residence, nnper ceived byiiis family, and ascending to the loft, pulled a delicate trigger, thereby ending his troubles on earth and sending his soul unbidden in the presence of his Maker.
Coroner Christy summoned a jury directly after the commission of the act, who, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts.
Capt. Goodwin enlisted at the breaking out of the war, and served with much credit in the Eleventh Indiana. I3y wound in the head, causing the loss of an eye, he was obliged to re tire from the service. His Republican friends nominated him soon after to the office of City Treasurer, and such was his popularity that he ran far ahead of the ticket. Unfortunatly during the time he held this office he formed habits of dissipation caused mainly by the wound in his head, which at times caused intense and prolonged pain. Ilis accounts were kept iu such an unsatisfactory shape, that his friends declined to renominate him at the last city election. He felt ihe rebuke most keenly, and from that date his intemperate habits steadily increased, until at last we are called to wiite his sad taking off, wiih mingled feelings of sorrow and pity. A'.as! poor Carl, you were your oivn worst enemy.
TJIE SUNDAY QUESTION.—It was not little singular coincidence that each of the three members of the special com inittee to whom was referred the petition of the temperance people, asking for city ordinance closing liquor saloons on Sunday, were absent from the Council on Tuesday evening—kept away by illness—consequently no action could be taken. We learn the committee and the Councilmen are not a unit on the ques tion. Some are in favor of the adoption of a city ordinance similar to the State law, while others are in favor of a simple resolution directing the city officers to strict!v enforce the Sta law.
TJIK Indianapolis Mirror states that the peculiar weather of the past'four months, so unlike anything heretofore known as characteristic of the fall and winter months, is by some wise people attributed to the extraordinary electric phenomena transpiring the neighborhood of the sun. Sctentific men tell us of columns of magnetic light reaching out from the sun towards the earth, and approaching near enough to derange our meteorological system. If it is a mere question of continued nastiness in the atmosphere we can get along with a reasonable amount of grumbling but if, as suggested by some apprehensive people, the time is at hand for all things terrestial melt [with fer. vent heat, then it would be well enough for people to set their houses in order.
ECCENTRICITY OF FASHION.— At a meeting of the Wool Manufacturers' Association, held in Boston recently, the secretary is reported to have said that he had heard of a very stylish article of cloth made of coarse wool at a certain mill, and that he had gone there to see what it was like. He was surprised to find that the article in question was the same as one he had got up himself, about thirty years ago, Co.- the negroes on the Southern rice plantations, but which was not showy enough for the frcedmcn now, although it was quite the rage among the genteel young men of Boston. "Disgustibus non disputannum"—as Mrs. Partington renders it—which means, "Every one to their taste, as the old woman said when she kissed her cow."
THE CITY COUNCIL held a special meeting Saturday night last, all the members being present.
Mayor Cookerly announced that the Council had been called together to consider and act upon the Railroad bond and Sunday law questions.
An ordinance was presented providing for a subscription to the capital stock of the Evansvillc, Terre Haute & Chicago Railway Company, authorizing the issue of $100,000 of coupon bonds of the city.
The Ordinance was passed by a unanimous vote and ordered to be published. The majority of the Special Committee on the Sunday Law question, Messrs. Miller and Mattox, submitted a report in favor of such a measure, accompanied by an ordinance on the subject. The report and the ordinance were defeated by the following vote:
Ayes:—Miller, Mattox and Koekwell. Nays—Messrs. Cox, Coats, Dowling, Fonts, O'Connell, and Seeburger.
Not voting—Mr. Scudder. Mr. Coats^of the same special committee, submitted a minority report against the passage of such a local Sunday law This report was adopted by the following vote:
Ayes—Messrs. Cox, Coats, Dowling, Kouts, O'Connell, Scudder and Seeburger. Nays—Miller, Mattox and Rockwell.
A series of resolutions were then offered and unanimously passed requesting the Mayor and other city officials to enforce the-Sfcite Sunday Law.
Mr. S. H. Potter presented a petition asking for the appointment of a city wood measurer. On mo.ion of Mr. Cox, the petition was laid 011 the .able.
The Council then adjourned,

ANOTHER oil company has been formed in Terre Haute, to bore between that place and Seelyville. Prof. Cox thinks that oil in paying quantities may be found there also, brine.—<Ind. Journal>.
This may be true. If it is, it illustrates the old adage: "Go away from home to learn the news." —————
MAYOR'S COURT.—There was a rare bit of fun in the Mayor's Court yesterday afternoon. A gentleman who.docs business on Main street, caused a capias to be issued against a Cincinnati man, for the sum of five dollars. In the progress of the rial it transpired that the sum was won er a game of cards, whereupon the case as dismissed and both parties fined for gambling.
THE Republican Executive Committee met on Satin day afternoon, and resolved upon calling a Mass Convention of the Republican voters of Vigo County, to assemble at the new Court House, on Saturday, February 12th, for the purpose of selecung delegates to the State Convention and for the transaction of such other business as may be brought before the meeting.
RAILROAD APPROPRIATION VOTE.—On Thursday the people of Clay county voted on the proposition granting one hundred thousand dollars for the construction of the proposed North and South railroad. The vote in Posey resulted: For the appropriation 15; against 371. In Perry township 243 votes were cast against, and not one for the appropriation. The proposition is defeated by a majority of over seven hundred. —————
TJIIIEE LADIES got out of a carriage on Ohio street, near Dr. Pence's drug store, 011 Saturday afternoon, in a sudden and most unexpected manner. The front wheel came off while they were driving at a rapid rate, and headlong they went upon the ground, greatly to the damage of their clothes, but with 110 serious damage to their persons, beyond a few bruises upon the face of the lady driving. She held the reins, manfully, until assistance arrived, thus preventing a runaway.
DELINQUENT TAX LIST.—The county delinquent tax list, as published in the WEEKLY EXPRESS, is the smallest advertisement of that kind published for many years past. It is evident that our County Treasurers are beginning to understand and enforce the law providing for tax collection.—Journal.
All of which is the result of having good and efficient Republican officials to look after delinquent tax-payers. Auditor Paddock, Treasurer Rankin, and the late Treasurer Shepherd have managed the financial interests of the county in an excellent manner.
SPICY AND PAT.—Not long since chubby-faced urchin at a school not thousand miles from a place we will not name, who was tardy, presented his teacher with the excuse from headquarters: "Baby cross Biscuit to Bake Had no Bakein powders the dog upset the coftepot the cat licked in the Milk and got up late Excuse."
The teacher with a comprehensive view of the "situation." and a proper sense o'f the fitness of things, returned: "If your baby makes a riot,

Tab would not have dared to taste. If again occur mishap. Hang your dogand your cat. Come what may, bo this your rule: 'Let no child be late at school.'"
HONORS.—The special dispatches of the Cincinnati Commercial, of yesterday, contain the following:

SOME one who evidently knows—or thinks he knows—all about it, gives this "Advice to Young Ladies," all of which is very prope.- and correct, no doubt, and which the aforesaid young ladies will lead and go straightway and marry—the man they love, without stopping to inquire whether he belongs to the first or second class:
Do not choose a lazy man do not fall in love with a mustache, neither iashion-ably-cut trowsers, or blackened boots, or pomaded and artificially-curled hair neither look upon graceful dancing or horseback riding. No, indeed for, with all the above-mentioned qualities of now a-days fast young men, you would not be able, with the bast culinary skill,?to cook a meal of victuals with it. But if a man comes to ask you for your heart and hand, inquire if he is a skillful artisan, or thrifty, industrious farmer, who is up early and late, and does his own work, and loves to do it rather than to complain of hard times or if he has a trade, or has the ability to acquire one ask him if he thinks there are six days in the week to work, and if he improves them, and then on Sunday to rest to
LETTER FROM SULLIVAN.

those who travel on horseback and not unfrequently threatens to absord the traveler and his horse, if he has one, along with his attention.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
The Infirmities of Age.
Decrepitude is the natural aceompanimcnt of old age, but it may be ameliorated,and the period of entire helplessness long postponed by thejudieious use of a healthful stimulant. Physicians, fully aware of this fact usually rccoramend moderate stimulation when the strength and vigor of maturity have been suspended by the feebloness and prostration which are the inevitable results of declining years. Port wine,gin, brandy, and other liquors are often prescribed by meciiean men for aged persons, but the impulse which fermented and distilled liquors give to the circulation, andthe energy they seem to impart, is transitory, unless the alcoholic principle is modified and qualified by tho presence of medicinal tonics and invigorants.— Of all the combinations of diffusive stimuli with the juices of herbs, roots and barks that havo ever been administered to the aged and infirm, with the view of sustaining their waning strength, cheering their drooping spirits and relieving tho aches and pains to which they are subjected, none has been found so efficacious, so agreeable and so permanent in its effects as llostettcr'sStomach Uittcrs. The difference between the effect of the Bitters and that of a mere excitant however pure, is the same as between the effect of a sudden and momentary application

The Three Remedies. "SCIIKNCK'S PI:LMON"IC SYRUP" for tho cure of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, and every form of Consumption. The peculiar action of this medicine ripens the ulcers in the lungs, promotes the discharge of tho corrupt matter by expectoration. Purifies the blood, and thus cures Consumption, when every other remedy fails. "Sehenek's Sea-WoodTonic" for the cure of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and all diseases arising from debility. This tonic invigorates the digestive organs,supplies the place of the gastric juice when that is deficient,and then enables tho patient to digest the most nutritious food. It is a sovereign remedy for ail cases of indigestion. 'Schenck's Mandrake Pills," one of the most valuable medicines ever discovered, being a vegetable substitute for calomel,and having all the useful properties ascribed to that mineral, without producing any of its injurious effects.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck of Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the treatment of Pulmonic Consumption.

THE REASON WHY
Pectoral Elixir
HAS SUCH
IMMENSE SALE,
In the city of Terre Haute,and in every community where it has been introduced, is simply because it will perform just what it is claimed it will do. Our leading eitizcwi including Physicians, Ministers, Mechanics and Merchants, unconditionally endorse it as tho beat Cough Remedy within their knowledge. At home, where tho "Elixir" is best known, iu ale exceed*
all other remedies for diseases
of the Throat mid Lungs, combined. In obedience to custom' the annexed testimonials are presented:
BOWLIXG-GREE.V, Ixn., Aug. 2-1,18(57. I have used "Barr's Pectoral Elixir" in my family, and can say that it is the best remedy for Coughs and Colds, especially for children, that I have ever used, and can recommend the same to all persons as a safe and reliable medicine.
ELIJAH ORMEN.
P-AMS, III., May S, 1869.
From my knowlcdgo of "Barr's Pectoral Elixir," and observing its uniform good effects upon tho many customers to whom I hare recommended it since its first introduction to tho public, I feel warranted in saying that I consider it KQUAL. if not SL'i'EItlOK, to any of the popular Lung remedies before the public.
