BOARD BILL CUTTERS.—There Is no o'.ass of people subjected to more losses, proportionately,than boarding-house keepers, and less prepared to meet them, Mean and unprincipled creatures seem to have reduced the system of cheating those -who feed them, to a science. They remain at a place just long enough to know that they will be asked for an equivalent fur their board, then they remove themselves and baggage to other houses to practice a similar imposition. The landlords of this city, and-especially the keepers of small boarding houses, have been

THE LAST FASHION.—Terre Haute will soon have a new fashion. Paris has introducel it, and of course the Prairie City cannot be behind the great millinery headquarters of the world. And this new fashion is an oddity. After Eugenie went to Egvpt, her fair cheeks were browned to a beautiful nut color by the burning sun of the Nile. Singularly, too, the chestnut hue became an advantage. The Empress is nearly forty, and the bloom of .her features has been robbed of its freshness. The marks of time that showed so plainly on the lily face were concealed by the swarthy complexion, and the Em-

pre8S

resolved to continue the attraction. So her cheeks since then have beea colored a rich olive. All the ladies of the Court followed suit, and the rest of Paris fell into the same line. All the feminine cheeks became dusky, and then brown became suddenly fashionable with the milliners and tradesmen generally. Dresses, bonnets, cloaks, gloyes, shoes, ribbons and all the paraphrenia of a woman wardrobe assumed the imperial color— Soit is now, and the color is traveling with the sun, towards this countij. will be here before long *0 our women rabacriben wn fcet ready for the

AN IDLE STATUTE.—Somewhere among our municipal statutes is a provision requiring sidewalks to be kept clear of ob-

PIG IRON.—We hear a great deal about pig iron of late, and the cost of production is a matter upon which manufacturers and free-traders widely vary. But there are few, we imagine, who know whence the name—pig iron—is derived. At the mouth of the furnace a bed of sand is prepared, and from the mouth a deep trench is cut in the sand, directly in the line of the flow of the liquid iron when it shall pour out of the mouth. From this trench smaller trenches are made at right angles —like teeth of a. coarse comb—into which the iron runs from the main trench—or the back of the comb. These side seams are called pigs and the main trench the sow. Hence the

ABOUT BUYING LAND.—Mr. Greeley concludes his third article on farming as follows:

When I was lost in Illinois, I rode some hours beside a gray coated farmer of some 60 years, whotold- me this: "I came here thirty years igo, and took $1 25 per acre, a good tract mainly in timber. 1 am now selling the timber at $100 per acre, reserving the land." That seems to be a good operation—not so quick as-a corner in the Stock market, but far safer..: And, .while I would advise no man to incur debt, I say most earnestly to all wuo have the means, "Look out the place where you would prefer to live and die, take time to suit yourself thoroughly choose it with reference to. your means, your calling and your expectations, and, if you can pay for it, buy it. Do not imagine that land is cheap in the West or the South only it is to be found cheap in every State by those able to own and who knew how to use it."

In Philadelphia, the Academy of Music, which holds five thousand people, was packed from parquette to dome, and hundreds Were turned away unable to find even standing-room, while tickets were sold on the day of the lecture at $6 premium. In Boston, a vast assemblage filled the Tremont Temple. In New Yo k, the immense* space of Sieinwav Hall was black with a dense throng, both on the floor and great galleries. In Baltimore, the Maryland Institute, large AS it is, could not hold the crowd which poured forth. In Buffalo, St James Hall was filled to overflowing.

Probably not a reader of the EXPRESS but has heard of the so-called spiritual medium Church, who has been operating

in and about this city for the last two years.

who believed in his mediumship, that few would credit the story and when, a few weeks after, Church returned to this city, he was received into fellowship, and has

been holding his seances at intervals, when the "conditions were favorable."

On Friday evening last a circle was held at the residence of W. B. McGee, on

South Seventh street. The company con-

sisted of ten persons, besides three colored musicians, and Church, the medium. When all was in readiness Church was

tied and seated in a chair in the usual way the tapes passed through his vest and the ends tacked to the floor. In a

short time the quartette of spirits commenced the usual performances. The magnetic wind came in a stiff breeze; Jimmy, the little Digger Indian, hopped around as talkative as ever; the Swiss girl played the accordeon most sweetly, after touching all the people present upon the forehead with her hand, and Major Henry played the castanet in his materly style. Little Jimmy then essayed a performance upon th e bells, when Doc. McGee sprung a light with a match, and —there was a sensation. Church was discovered six feet from the chair in which he had been tied, standing bolt upright on the floor, a bell in each hand, and with his coat, vest and boots off. The tape seals and tacks were not disturbed, but had been sloughed off, and left in a condition for him to crawl back into the fastening.

As before mentioned, he had a bell in each hand. On the match being struck, he yelled: "Put out that light!" and threw the bell in his right hand at Doc. McGee. It missed him, but hit McGee's wife, hurting her somewhat. Church then took the bell in his left hand into his right and threw it with great focre [sic], striking Mrs. William McGee,t he bell, falling in her lap.

Doc McGee then stepped up to the exposed and humiliated imposter, and laying his hand upon him, said: "Keep cool, little Jimmy, I've got you, now." Church said, "It is all right." He afterwards claimed that the spirits had divested him of his clothing and placed him in the condition he was found!

On Saturday evening Church was arrested, and on being taken before Mayor Cookerly was fined $9 50 for committing an assault and battery on Mrs. Doc McGee, in throwing the bell.

This certainly ought to end Church's performances in this city, and we advise him to lead a different life or strike out for some new field. —————

racity, is now in the office directing us to say that the specimen which he has laid on our table he washed from the dirt himself, having procured the dirt four inches from the surface in the bottom of the creek. What he has with him is as pure gold as was ever found in California. He says he did not wash a pan full of dirt that had not more or less gold in it. Mr. Howell is a man to be believed in every particular. That there is gold there is no question—but owing to the cold and frozen ground it cannot be fully developed till warmer weather. We will keep our readers fully posted as matters are developed. —————

TINDAL A. MADISON.

TA community never becomes so com pleUny accustomed to the idea of death but that a momentary sympathy, a brief regret is awakened in the public heart at the death of almost any member of it.— But-' a greatly deeper degree of feeling and a more enduring sorrow is experi enced, on every hand, at the announcements the demise of an old and highly respected citizen, one esteemed and loved by all, and one who, coming to tiie locality as a pioneer, has spent the best years of his life in furthering the prosperity of the place and advancing the interests of

his feilows. VRXIV* Such a man was TINDAI. A. MADISON, who died at his residence in this city on Saturday, February 12th, 1870.

Mr. Madison was born in Saratoga county, New York, on the 25th of February, 1807. In the year 1835 he established himself in Terre Haute, and since that-time has made this city his constant residence. For thirty-five years, then, his' heart has been enlisted in the growth and success of our community and he has had the satisfaction of seeing the home of his choice exceed in everything that makes a successful community, beyond HIS most hopeful anticipations.— Far from being a listless spectator of events, he was an ardent laborer in the field of improvement. Connected with some of the greatest public works of liis day, lie has left marks of his energy and ability that time itself can scarcely obliterate. He was largely interested as a contractor and builder, on the National Road, in this section of the State and the writer of this remembers a bridge of his building that stood for twenty-five years within a mile of the city, and when the drainage of the country obviated its necessity at that place, it was removed to another, locality, where it stands now aS useful as when first built.

He wasalso connected in similar capacities with the work on the Wabash & Erie Canal, prosecuting his labors at all times with industry,energy and ability. As an architect and bridge-builder lie had few, if any, equals. In one branch of manufacture, too, he may be said to have been a pioneer, for he was the first one here who successfully carried on the manufacture of sash, doors and blinds—A branch of industry and commerce now largely engaged in by several heavy business firms. All the°e things make up the business characterNof the earnest man and faithful citizen,

But there is still another character conerred upon man by nature, and not controlled by the necessities of life—the moral and social character. In this the true man glows with beauty. Its manifestations are free and spontaneous. The man who possesses it has a heart open for all, a hand outstretched in welcome to the world. Such a man, too, was Tindall A. Madison. Genial, kind and sociable the soul of honor in every. transaction overflowing with' HVE fcr truth candid and plain in his intercourse with man tender and considerate of the feelings of others open and hospitable at hs home and true and noble in all the relations of life. .Whilst

sympathize with his relatives

and with each other, letns try to emulate his graces of character and his private and public virtues. ,M

He welcomed them most cordially to this new boon, and rged all to lend them a helping hand and a cheering word to encourage them their efforts to rise rather than try to crowd them down. The speech throughout was in the best taste and the kindliest spirit, breathing the highest devotion to the most advanced principles of the party which he is an honored member.

Sometimes, without any assignable cause, the physical strength and animal spirits give way, and a strange torpor falls on the body and intellect. There Is little or no pain perhaps, but the natural vigor and elasticity of the nervous and muscular system seems to have departed, and an indifference to the. pleasures of life, and even of its grave responsibilities, takes the place of that earnest interest in both which characterises every well balanced mind when in a healthy condition.

This state of partial collapse is often the premonitory symptoms of some serious malady. It indicates unmistakably that the vital powers are languishing and need a stimulant. In such cases the effect of a few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is wonderfully beneficial. The great tonic wakes up the system from its drowse. The secretions and the circulation receive a now impetus. The relaxed nerves recover-their elasticity under the operations of the specifio, like the slack* ened strength of a musical instrument in the process of turning. Lethargy and debility are replaced by energy add vigor, the spirits rise, and life that almost seemed a burden while the season of depression lasted, becomes once more enjoyable. That such a radical change should be produced by a remedy entirely devoid of the powerful alkaloids and Minerals so extensively used in modern practice, may seem incredible to those who pin their faith on the medicinal efficacy of ftctivo poisons, but if these skeptics will take the trouble to enquire of those who have tested the corrective and alterative virtues of tho Bitters under the circumstances described, they will find the statement to be tree* 16-dwlw.

THIRTY DEAPLT POISOKS, according to tho "Journal of Commerce," are sold in this market to change the color of the hair. The "Medical Gasette" says they aro worthless as dyes, and that their salo is a "CBMK." The proprietors dare not mbmit them to chemical analysis.

on the contrary, has been analysed by Professor Chilton, the great analytical chemist, and pronuunced absolutely harmless, as well as effigicient. See his written certificate, at Ori*tadoro't, Astor House, Now York.
