WILL BE IIKUE.—L. A. Burnett, Esq., received a dispatch yesterday staling lliat Hon. Nclrton Trusler will positively be here on Friday evening, and speak at the Wigwam.

CONVALESCENT.—We are pleased to learn that Mr. R. \V. llippetoe, who has boon uncomfortably near death's door, from congestion, is now considered out of danger.

TOWNSHIP CONVENTION.—The Republicans of llonev Creek township will hold a convention on Saturday, August (ith, at two o'clock, at the Township House, for the purpose of nominating township officers. By order of COMMITTEE.

THE best answer to Dan Voorhecs' stale talk oh finances will be found in the public debt statement published, in another column. The decrease in July was $17,031,123.74. Since March lxl the decrease has. been more than si-itynine mil-

tons*

YESTERDAY was the 19th birthday of Lafayette Myers, confined in our county jail for taking the life of Arasha Bryant on Saturday evening. This awful deed is said to be the young man's first step— or stride—in crime, and is a terrible commentary on intemperance.

TOWNSHIP MEETING—The Republicans of Lost Creek township will meet at the Township House on Friday the 12th inst, for the purpose of nominating township officers. W. W. Curry and John G. Crain will be present and address the meeting.

ROBBERY.—Between nine and ten o'clock last night three men entered the grocery of Fred. Meyers, about seven miles above town, on the Lafayette road, and called for beer. While Meyers was drawing the beer, one of the men knocked him down with a wagon spoke. They then robbed him of all his money, about $75, one of the robbers holding a pistol at the head of Mrs. Meyers to prevent her interfering. The robbers made their

escape.

MILL BURNED.—Mr. Bridenthall, the agent for Smyser and Melton, received a dispatch yesterday, stating that their mill at Jeffersonville had been burned. This is the largest flouring mill in the State, having a capacity for turning out five hundred barrels of flour a day. The mill, building and machinery cost $100,000. A day or two since thirty-two cart loads of wheat were standing on the track, and inside the mill was about the same quantity in sacks. This grain was probably destroyed.

WAS the Journal's omission of the telegraphic statement of the public debt, yesterday morning, dictated by a desire not to contradict Voorhees? That great financier has the "cheek" to deny that the debt has been decreased, or ever will be, while the official statement, published in our telegraphic report, yesterday, shows that the decrease for July was more than seventeen million dollars, and that since March last it has been more than sixty-nine millions! No wonder that Voorhees' organ declines to publish official statements that give the lie direct to "the great

statesman."

CRIMINAL COURT.—The Grand Jury returned several indictments yesterday. Upon one of these indictments Lafayette Myers, who stabbed young Bryant on Saturday evening last, was arraigned for "murder in the second degree," to which he plead "not guilty."

W. A. Stewart, the boy that stole a watch and chain from Mr. Boldt, was arraigned and plead guilty. He is quite young, being only thirteen years of age, but seems to have started upon a determined career of. crime. He has recently come to this city, and it is said, proposed to give the boys of this city some lessons in stealing. Among other things he was going to teach them how to raise a man off his pillow without awakening him The Court withheld a decision until this

morning. David Anderson, who is charged with stealing a skiff late on Monday evening, was arraigned. Should he be tried to day, and convicted, he will be off for the penitententiary on the day following---all of which might be called quick work.

A MAN recently arrested as a vagrant, protested that he had a regular trade, and that it was smoking glass for total eclipses of the sun. He remarked that as these occur so seldom it was not to be wondered at that he seemed out of employment a good deal. ———————

TEACHERS who attend Normal institutes are more likely than others to secure the best situations. Superintendents are on the watch for teachers, and they prefer those who show a desire to improve every opportunity to increase their capacity for efficient service.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel sent a reporter over to take down Dan Voorhees' speech on Monday night. The absence of a full abstract in that paper is explained by the fact that the rep. fell asleep ii the middle of the speech, and snored majestically to the end. We don't blame him. Dan is a little tedious after first two hours. He could have made good abstract from one of Dan's old speeches.

EXAMINERS CONVENTION. —Pursuant to the call of the State Superintendent Public Instruction, the convention School Examiners held their first meeting last night in the Normal School building, and effected an organization by electing Hon. B. C. Hobbs Chairman, and A. J. Johnson, Examiner of Hendricks county, Secretary.

The following examiners were present: G. H. Staley of Clinton county, W. L. Little, Vermillion; Jesse H. Brown, Wayne; W. A Powner, Decatur; J. M. Sauuders, Boone; T. Keene, Porter; W. T. Stillwell, Gibson; James B. Campbell, Posey; Jason L. Rippetoe, Fayette; Walter S. Smith, Rush; Anson W. Jones, Knox; James D. Forrest. Warrick: W. P. Wilson. Owen; Adams J. Johnson, Hendricks; Daniel Newby, Henry.

A committee to prepare business was appointed, consisting of Staley, Brown, Powner, Rippetoe and Stillwell. Also a committee on resolutions, consisting of Campbell, Saunders, Little, Jones and Smith.

The Committee on Business was instructed to report early this morning, and there being no businese matured the members of the Convention adjourned to hear Prof. Bosworth's lecture on "How the Worlds were Made."

DEATH BY THE KNIFE! ——————

Another Murder! ———————

A Young Man Hurled into Eternity at a Moment's Warning! ———————

THE MURDERER IN JAIL! ———————

WHISKY! WHISKY!! WHISKY!!! ———————

On Saturday evening, about six o'clock, at Adolph Meyers' saloon, some five miles out on the Lafayette road, Arasha Bryant, a young man about nineteen years of age, came to his death at the hands of Lafayette Meyers, by being stabbed with a knife.

Bryant resides near Sand Cut station, seven miles up on the Rockville road. In company with another young man named J. D. Murray and two girls he came down on Saturday morning to see the circus. They missed the train, and hired a spring wagon at Fouts' stable, to return home. On reaching Myers' saloon, where there is a public pump, the party stopped for water.

Two men—Peter Mitchell, residing at Clinton, and a young man in his employ named Lafayette Myers—were about starting away. Mitchell was in the act of unfastening the reins by which the horses were tied, and which was in rather a peculiar knot, when Murray remarked, "Where d'ye God clem horses and lines?" This is a by-word with the boys up that way, and is used when they see anything new or peculiar as in case of a new pair of boots, one will exclaim, "Where d'ye God dem boots?" Mitchell took offense at this remark, and some words passed. Bryant and Myers were a few steps farther north, the former in the act of getting some water for the girls. In some way—no one seems to know exactly how —they became involved in the quarrel, which lasted not more than a minute, and Myers stabbed Bryant with a medium sized pocket knife. The knife entered the right breast about two inches below the collar bone, and about one inch to the right of the center of the breast, ranging upward. Upon being stabbed Bryant struck at Myers, and then passed into the saloon. On going in he remarked "That man out there says he can whip me, but he can't do it." With that he passed out and fell at the south door. He died in about fifteen or twenty minutes after he received the injury.

Myers and Mitchell soon after got in their wagon and left for home. Both were intoxicated. It is said that Myers had a difficulty with another man while in this city, in which he drew his knife, and that, he carried it in his hand until the time of the fatal stabbing.

Coroner Christy was summoned from town, and after empannelling a jury and making a preliminary examination, allowed the body to be taken home.

The deceased, as before remarked, lived near Sand Cut, where he worked upon the farm of Mr. George Stalnaker, and is said to hare been a very quiet, civil and worthy young man.

The first report was that Mitchell did the stabbing. Marshal Whiteman and officers Dan Crowe and Vandever went to Clinton Saturday night and arrested Mitchell and Myers at Mitchell's house. They were brought down and lodged in jail. On being taken before Mayor Cookerly Sunday morning, Lafayette Myers was committed to jail to answer in the Criminal Court for his crime. Peter Mitchell was required to give bond for his appearance as a witness, and failing to do so, was committed to jail.

When arrested, Myers admitted to the officers that he and Bryant had a fuss; that Bryant had struck him on the nose, and that he struck at Bryant twice with his knife, and he expected that he cut him, for he had seen blood on his shirt when he left him.

The Coroner's jury finished their investigations Sunday morning, returning a verdict in accordance with the above facts. ———————

ACCOIIDINC. to programme, D. W Voorhecs, M. C., appeared at Beach's grove, Monday eve, with a band of music was introduced in a neat little speech, by Doctor E. Read, and spoke to a very conjiderable gathering of his political friends, and quite a number of Republicans. Had there been anything of a newsy character in his talk, we should be glad to serve it up to our readers bnt, with a few slight variations, it was "the old, old story," with which the public are familiar. In this respect it reminded us of "a little storyAbout two years ago, stenographic reporter came here, from Cincinnati, to "tak'e" one of Daniel's ipeeches. He brought with him a copy of the Cincinnati Commercial, containing the Tall Sycamore's New Albany effort) hich he had reported. He told us that ith the change of the opening paragraph, the Terre Haute speech was the cw Albany speech, and he had a very easy job reporting it. In fact it was a 'fat take," as he received full pay for his •copy" nearly all of which was reprint.

Whenever Daniel will get up a new ipeech, we will give him the benefit of our circulation, but there is plenty of matter in last year's almanac fresher than that he delivered last night. c:' ———,

How TO TELL THEM.—A distinguished bugologist lias discovered that there are three kinds of lies: the blue bottle, with hich housekeepers and butchers are familiar, and two kinds of house flies, one of which bites and the other don't. The biting fly may be distinguished from the manner in which he lights on the wall. Like the bloodsucking mosquito, he invariably re'tswith his head upward, -bile the fly which does not bite turns his head down. New, when you go for the phlobotomizers, take those which stand head up.

GOOD THINGS.—We have before remarked that the close proximity of the Wigwam to Scudder's Ice Cream Saloon was a good thing for that gentleman's business. And now we find that the location of the Democratic sjieaking stand, in Beach's Grove, is a good thing for Wood's First National Saloon nearly opposite, and Tom Langford's, around the corner. The First National catches all who go in At the front door, while Tom's back door is mighty handy for the other class.

NOT\vITSTANDING all reports to the contrary, we assure our Republican friends that Parke conntv will come up with her usual majority for the State and Congressional tickets. The- meetings in that county, this week, are very largely attended and are producing the best results.

TWENTY-FIVE or thirty additional machinists will soon be employed in the shops of the St. L., V., T. H. & I. R. R. line, in this city, adding not less than one hundred persons to our population and that too, of the most desirable class, intelligent and industrious rnechancs and their families.

How IT WORKS.-Prof. Shortridge, Superintendent of the Indianapolis schools, on Friday last examined about twenty teachers for positions in the schools of that city. He wants thirty teachers to fill vacant positions and those made by the opening of new schools in that city. The' salaries offered are in advance to those heretofore paid. The teachers attending the present spccial term have an opportunity to know and become known, and teachers throughout the State will soon learn that a course of. study in the Normal School will command better positions ai\cl higher salaries. The teachers will thus be greatly benefitted and the children who are to receive instruction will be benefitted in a still greater degree.

No JOKE.—Of all the relics of antiquity that have come to us from the earliest historic ages, there are none so well pre-served-es circus jokes. There is a satisfaction, when you laugh at a clown's "wit," in knowing that the ears of your ancestors, thirty generations ago, were tickled wilh the same straw. And those ancestors had the happy assurance that their' remote progenitors had smiled or grinned at the same sacredly-kept bon mots, conundrums, etc. So jealous of innovations are these sawdust "artists," so sublimely devoted to that which hath the order of antiquity, lhat a clown who should be so lash as to perpetrate a postdiluvian joke, would lose caste in "the profession," and be kicked out as a reckless and unprincipled violater of its ethics.

DEAD.—The man afflicted with the small-pox, who, one week ago last Saturday evening was placed in the building used as pest house and which was burned the same night, died at midnight on Saturday night. It will be remembered that the pest house was burned the same night he was placed in it. Since that time he has been cared for in a tent, and exposed to two drenching rains. His case was a very severe one, but he seemed to be getting along well. On Saturday morning he walked down as far as Chestnut street, creating considerable consternation by his horrible appearance. He was taken in charge and conducted back to the tent on the road leading out from north Seventh street, where he died the same night. He was a stranger, a laborer on one of the railroads, and no one seems to know his name. He was buried on the spot where he died. ———————

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—We learn that on Thursday morning last Mr. John Price, a well known citizen of Sullivan county, attempted suicide by hanging himself in a barn. The rope slipped and he came near dying by strangulation, when he was cut down by some of the family attracted by the noise. His wife died in April last, and opposition on the part of his relatives to a second marriage, is said to have caused him to attempt the act. ———————

"ExACT,GoriES."—Somebody who got "bit" has drawn from Commissioner Delano the following decision in regard to the liability of persons who offer to furnish "exact copies" of fractional currency, in which it will be seen that the Treasury Department can grant no relief to the victims, they not coming under the head of counterfeiters:

Persons who send out circulars offering to furnish "exact copies" of .fractional currency, and enclosing fractional notes as specimens of ounterfeits furnished them, are not counterfeiters or dealers in counterfeit money. Their course of action is to send out genuine notes as samples, and when they receive remittance for a supply of similar notes, to return either nothing at all, or small photographs of genuine notes, trusting to the complicity of their dupes to save them from exposufe and prosecution. As this species of swindling does not constitute an infringement of any law of the United States, it Ls not in the province of the Treasury Department to institute proceedings against those who practice

WE have need of more out-door pastimes which afford a gentle exercise and are suitable for both sexes. The tendency of the age is in this direction. Formerly men were all developed into giants of physical strength, while women —especially the better class, who were not called upon to toil in the jelds—being debarred from all out-door"sports, except as spectators, naturally grew up exceedingly fragile flowers. Croquet, ninepins, quoits, rowing' and other similar forms of exercise and diversion are now coming into vogue for ladies as well as gentlemen, but the list ought to be extended. In England we notice that archery is being revived as a pastime for both sexes. The Royal Toxophite Society practice every day in Regent's Park, London. Ladies are admitted as well as gentlesMn on all days except Friday, and once a year the fair archers have a grand match for a number of prizes, when no gentlemen are permitted to be present except one captain for each set of contestants. The shooting is usually at the distances of sixty yards. Why may we not have archery clubs in this country?

THE water works, beside the great convenience, will materially help to impress upon strangers the growing importance of our towu as a great city. Let's have .1 (J-MhT S them.

THE blast furnace at Brazil and one furnace at Knightstown are in operation. The other Clay county furnaces will blow in" about the first of September.

GAME LAW.—As some misunderstanding seems to exist in regard to the expiration of the game law, we give the following dates for the information, of. all those who may be interested: ~r"

The law makes it unlawful to shoot or trap quails or pheasants between the 1st of February and the 1st of October, and unlawful to kill or trap prairie chickens between the 1st of February and the 15th of August of each year.

THE Journal hears it rumored that the new Machine Works of the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad, recently located at Mattoon, are liksly to prove a failure on account of the great scarcity of water in that desert of prairie. It will be remembered that Terre Haute was a contestant for the location of the works and the Company will find that they missed a bargain and a good opportunity when they decided in favor of Mattoon as against this city.

A. HORRTBLE RUMOR was current in the city yesterday that the body of the man who died of smallpox, in the tent in Barbour's woods, north of the city, was eaten up by the hogs. We cannot trace the report to any authentic source, but do know that the two men employed to watch him, left as soon as*he died, which was in the middle of the night, and at eleven o'clock the next morning we saw Mayor Cookerly looking for men willing to go up and bury the body. We sincerely hope that, for the credit of the city the report is not true.

Since the above was in type Marshal Whiteman informed ns that the report cannot be true. The ttfo men employed to bury the body, reported the duty performed and they have been paid for the same.

IT TURNS OUT that the "great Democratic gathering" at Middletown, the other day, was a very slini affair, and that instead of Voorhees speaking to "an audience of twelve hundred'," there were only about one hundred and fifty persons on the ground, severa} of whom were drawn there by the false report, industriously circulated, that Mr. Dunn would be present to enter upon, a joint .discussion. We make this statement upon the authority of a gentleman who attended the meeting and he also states that the traveling whisky shop, which accompanied Voorhees on his campaign in '68, was at the Middletown meeting that there was much drunkenness and fighting that several pistol shots were exchanged, and that the whole affair was disgraceful to the last degree.

THE DANVILLE ROAD.—The <Journal> learns from Mr. Collett, President of the Evansville, Terre Haute & Chicago Railroad Company, that the line of road from this city will not be completed and ready for business operations before some time next spring. Mr. Collett says the Company is not at present pushing the work on the line between here and Danville from the fact that the connecting line now being built from Chicago to Danville has not reached the latter place by a distance of thirty-five miles, and that it will be close on to a year before it does. Nearly all the grading on this end of the road is about completed to Danville, and we suppose if it was desirable the road could be put in operation to that point at a much earlier date than now contemplated. This unlooked for delay will be a source of great disappointment to those in this city who have so earnestly favored the enterprise. ————————

BUSINESS HOUSES.—An evidence of the growing trade of Terre Haute is the fact that right in the heart of the city we can count twenty-five first-class store rooms now in process of construction. These are as follows: Five in the Opera House five at the corner of Ohio and Fifth street. Fred Ross has three on Fifth street M. B. Hwlon three on Sixth street, Col. McLean '.wo near the Market House, Col. Dowling one adjoining his ill, Curtis Gilbert two and Lockwood, Rothschild, Barter and Lyne one each on Main street. All these, to say nothing of dozens of small frame and brick business houses further out, is a substantial evidence of the mercantile growth of Terre Haute. We want, however, a dozen more manufactories to make these storerooms hum with busy tr^de. We manufacture some, but we must manufacture more. An Iowa paper before :s- tells of a Dubuque wagon manufactory receiving an order from Mississippi for one hundred wagons Why shouldn't Terre Haute get ten thousand dollar orders of this kind as well as an Iowa town? Echo answers and wants to know why.

Teachers' Institute.—Owing to the fact that many teachers of Vigo County are now attending the special session of the Normal School, whose attendance it might be difficult to secure at a County Institute, soon afterwards, I have determined to postpone the holding of our In stitute until some time during the coming fell or early in the winter. This conclusion is the result of a consultation with the most prominent friends of education in the county, and will, I am sure, meet the approbation of all.

This is emphatically the language of all who use the articles. A fine head of hair and a refined complexion are the greatest attractions a woman can posess. The'Kathairon and Magno lia Balm are just what will give them to you, and nothing else will. The Balm is the bloom of youth. It makes a lady of thirty appear but twenty. Both articles are entirely harmless, and very plesant. They should be in every lady's possession. Jv27w4w

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Life Sustaining Principle. Tho vital and the muscular systems are entirely distinct from each other. Am have the brawn of a Hercules, but if he is deficient in vital energy ho will not wear as well, or last as long or be as hoalthy and happy while he does last, as the man of ordinary, or even slender build, who possesses a largor share of this animating principle. One of the greatest recommendations of that pure vegetable invigorant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is fiat it increases the vital force of the system. No medicine can doublo ihe volume of a man's muscle, or thicken and vulcanize his thows and sinews but Hostetter's Bittors has an effect much more important, Its uso promotes constitutional vigor, It reinforces tho life-powe of which bono and sinew and muscle are meroly the instrumonts, "holding tho same relation to it that machinery does to steam. 'Let the slight and apparently fragile take heart, tboy may have more stamina, though far loss physical strengh, than the broad shouldered athletes they regard with envy. To restore, to sustain, to increase this staminal principle which, when ih full supply, is thosourco of health and tho best guarantee of longovity, is a special property of the famous restorative. It- is not only ft specific for dyspepsia* billiousness. intermittent fevers, consumption, &c and a preventive of all diseases of malarious character, but the best of all medicincs for strengthening the constitution and awakening the powers of naturo from whatever *ause they may have become lethargic.
