on meteorology that "the i||imate of a country remains permanently the same from age towage. ObserTations continued for an entire centorjr at various places in the United States and JEuroje indicate no change inlhe mean temperature of the year, or that of the aieparate months no change in, therange of the thermometer no change in the time of the last frost of spring or the .first froet of au^utnn ip the annual amo&Dt,of rain or.saow, or-in the mean di recti ofl^of the wind It is not certain rhat the bHm^te of -any country, in,either-o£these respects has change appreciably in: two thousand years, By the destfoetida'af forests, the earth is' more drrettl^efpfesed- to the ^rays of the sun the moisture of ftie^jronnd is more readily evaporated 'streams more frequently dry up in summer, and droughts become more frequent and severe. But these changes do not seem to affect ifri Sensible manner the nieaii temperature'of any place, or the annual amoont of rain "Ii several months in succession have been unusually warm or unusually cold, instead of concluding "^hat jibe climate has permanently changed, and that the succeidfiigi m&th? wi|l( he |imilar iiy charattiiv we! should A^tllr'ahticipitfe .months of the ppposite description, since the mean teWp6WtfirJe of the year fluctuates within very narrow jifniU( and tjbe, longer a period of very warm weather con filing he$4irtkMfl IWs1^Ajbabifify that thasucceeding njonths will be una 6ually VreiKciro^is b? ^his kihd s^re' legitimate deductions from scientific data."

This is g,gpd aythprity and we are therefore perha^ safe in predicting that the present winter will be unusually cold, and that the spring, and perhaps the whole of the coming season, will be unusually wet. the past two seasons, as i.-, well known, have been annomalies of. dry weather, and the earth has been affected to an extent hardly known by those Who have not given the matter particular attention. In this latitade streams that were never, known to'fail have become as dry Mexican arroyos, and the parched earth takes up the falling rain so rapidly and greedily that very little water so far has fonnd its way into streams. -Although several inches of rain has fallen during 'be present month the Wabash has hardly shown any appreciable rise, and wells that became dry during the summer and fall, are without water encngh to wet a pump-stock. "Well-dig-gers in this and Clay county say they have dug through pcrfgc^ly dry earth to a depth of thirty ,/eet, and that in many instances putting wells down to a much greater depth has not succeeded in reaching any considerable amount bf water.

The bed of. Sugar Creek,. across the river,' was, a' few" days ago, as dry as the sands of Sahara, a distance of a mile and a half from its mouth, where a lively stream of'clear cold '^SnBPT'frbiar the "BigBTTSaaS"' and ex-' isting springs farther back, disappeared' entirely—unable to hold out longer against the wonderful drinking propensities of tlie"feun-dried earth.

We do not believe that the general average of rain jhas been materiaUyjaf-. fected in this latitude, either by the cutting of forests, building of railroads, or any^other stated

is abundant proof, however^ that

extensive destruction of forests hasL1ma-' terially reduced the moisture of the grourfd, and the'amount of Wter an running streams. The principal cause is, that the temperature of tree$,- in hot climates, and the warmer months of the year in this climate, is lower than that of the surrounding atmosphere, causing a condensation of-the moisture: of ,the air, and deposit in the form of dew or rain. Robbed of this medium of communication with the upper world, the' earth loses a powerful ally, and droughts are the consequence: -V

Anomalous months, however, such as we have had'in the past two years, must be accounted for on some other hypothesis. And while science fails to give us more definite information, we must be guided in our predijjpns by the "meails" aftd "averages" that are recorded, and personal observation.

A CARD.

jr ,MB. EDITOR: In your paper of the 27th insf, appeared the following notice: Thejury, imthe Tapscott case, we learn, on first retiring to their room, at four o'clock on Friday evening, stood ten for acquit#!, and twd for a term in the penitentiary. The eleventh juryman imme-diately-fell in with the majority,, but the twelfth obstinately refused

near elven o'clock, when he gave up—beuse lie wanted to go home! Note I wish to say lhat the latter c.IaurtQ of 1hftt-dotice is a falsehood and a slander., and tlie person wJio told it knew -atjto, beTSuch when lie uttered it. It is only a repetition of the lies and slander, which Lrec£lve$ from ajiortiim of thoje men wlii c6mp^^ l£at jury. I Relieve from the evidence in that case that Samuel Tapseott killed Alexander

Thompson, and at least was guilty of manslaughter. I believed it then, and believe it now, and I consented to his acquittal, not because I wanted to go home the would-be slanderer states, but because of the ill-treatment I received from portion of the juro'S.

cuto^i Yoorhees and Dnnni^aii appearing for the State, and Messrs. Allen, Mack and .Williams pf this city, and Mr. Golden, of

Only one witness, Mrs. Thompson, the widow of the "deceased, was examined .when the Conrt -adjourqed until Friday morning. The evidence in the case is as follows:.

Mrs. Thompson—I am the wife'of Al grander Thompson. He -is" dead. He •died on the 8th of March. Ob-the 23d of February he.came in at supper in as good spirits as I ever .saw. He went out after" happier," aboiirflark,4 fo milk In a few minntes I heard a strange noise rushed out tnd found him-leaning on his own wagon, and heard him call out'murder. I supported him. He was all over blood. About five or ten minutes elapsed between his going out and my .finding him. We brought him to the house and' laid him down. There was blood all over his face and clothes, and his boots. He never got up. This occurred in Terre Haute,'.Vigo country, Indiana.

Dr. Young—I was called to see Alex Thompson in February, about seven o'clock in the evening. I found him lying on the floor of the kitchen, with a wound about four inches lon^ from the left cheek b'one across the nose to the right eye. Bones o£ nose were crushed. He bled freely was weak at that time, but conscious. I visited him until bis death, about the tith or Sth of March. The wound was unquestionably the cause of his death. After ""four or five days I found severe external injury of the brain. This shovel (which was introduced) was calculated to produce such injury as he received.

Nora Guthiie—I resided in February last on First street. 1 saw Alexander Thompson the night be was injured. I was washing dishes and heard swearing. I went to tlie gate to the alley. Thompson was laying with his budy on the wagon and his feet on the ground. I saw sofnebody running from him he was running towards Thompson's house, and '.hen Mrs. Thompson came- I did not see the man that runenongh to know him. I never saw the man, Tapseott, until I saw him that afternoon in front of my gate. He due from Sam Lockart's, who lived in the same alley. Tapseott and his sister were walking together.

Cross-Exumined—Houses

.front on al

ley in coming up town we always passed through alley. His 'sister-in-law lived in same row of houses. The wagon was near Thompson's gale great deal of travel there at that time of "day. Ellis' factory runs back to that street.

John Wintermute— I was living in February near Thompson. I had just moved there on the 20th. I.do not know Samuel Tapseott. I was sitting at table when it happened^ My brothej- was was there. He is now in Chillicothe, Mo. The door was standing open, towards the south. We heard some muttering and quarrelling. Tlie first we heard was "what in the hell aire, you doing hfire?" "None of your God damn business!" Then tfiTheard a woman speak" twice, and a man replied thHft tiBaes'is '"Let me go," and then said "let me kill the dams of afa then we heard the lick", like a spade striking clap-board then we ran up and heard a man say:- "Oh! God, I am murdered." My brother and a negro man carried Thompson in. I then heard a noise like several men running down the alley. After my brother came back we took a light, and searched the alley. We found a shovel, and also found a stone lying on the foregate of the wagon. The spade was laying with the handle on the wagon tongue, two or three feet from the end, "near Thompson's feet. He had his head near the double-tree,binder the single-tree, and feet' on "the tongue. We heard several words indistinctly before we heard—"What in the h—11 are you doing here?" The persons-running went south. The persons running were about four or five rods off from.Thompson befoie I got to the fence in front of the wagon. There were as many as three. It was so dark I could not tell a mini from a wagon.

Cross Examined.—I did not go clear to liim. I stood at the fence. There was no one I saw get to Thompson before mv brother and his wife. Persons running past lhis,way would have to pass right by me." My brother and I stepped the distance from where I stood to the wagon. It was twenty-seven steps.

Mrs. S. WinterriwW—I heard quarreling, and said it was some more negro quarreling. Then I heard?*'Let rue go, I will kill the d—d s— of a Then I heard, O God, I am murdered. WTe run out there and found Thompson lying dpwb, and Saw the shadows of .three perSl fons running down the alley. I was a stranger to the men I could not tell who they were. Ihey were running south saw no one running north.

Mrs. Guthrie—The first I heard was some man ask another man, "What the hell are yon doing here?" The other an-! sewed: "None of your d—d business'" Get out of the alley, you drunken scamp." "LlMin't ,do it, and I don't want anjuoL your jaw." Then his sister said. "Don'4 S rm!" He said: "Let me go I Will kill any God dam man that calls me a d—s—of ah—, or strikes me, or strikes at' me first." I heard a lick and thought it struck wood. It rounded like a brickbat. I saw no one running. I never saw Tapseott before that evening, when he was with his sister and sisler-in-law. I had, lived there a year. 1 guess that- is the man—(pointing tothe prisoner.)

Cross Examined—I was twenty-five of my steps from Thompson's wagon. The spund 1 heard was like a brickbat. I have heard negroes throw my brickbats about there. I hear'd them quarrelling three, four o**five minutes.

John Wintermute—Testified to the identity of the spade. He noticed blood on it that night. That is "the very rock I picked it up from tl.e wagon gate and put it back the front of the wagon was standing south.

A. P. Yoorhees.—On the evening Thompson was wounded I was working on the street and had ray wagpn'up in the alley I saw two men coming in at north end of nlley, and Thompson's man was unhitching the team. The nden were apparently drunk. They stooped donMend "picked up a rock or brick. They passed the team and I looked back and saw the men stop and talk to some children, and no or a it I in he defendant picked up th&Mone, but I never saw him before nor sincc. They stopped on right hand of wagon. It was nearer sunset than dusk.

Daniel Crowe.—I arrested the defendant on the evening of the occurrence, on platform of baggage car going west, about ten o'clock thai night.' 1 asked him if his name was Tap°cott- lie said "No" I said: "You are probably the man I want, that he was the man that hurt Thompson." He asked if Thompson was much hurt.' "I told him no, and asked him Uie cause of thedifficulty Hesaid he knew nothing about it.

Samuel Lockbart— know? Samuel Tapcott and saw him t»n o'clock the day Thompson wis injured. Wc are brothers-in-law. I rit work aha went around (own and came, back to dinner, and "then went around town again, and came back to supper. Then we went to his sister in law's and were playing with the women and children. He went ont any my woman went out playing with him. lie said he was going up town and she was preventing him. It waf proba.-.bly-five minutes before 1 heatd rmces."

Cross Examined —W?r went south through the alley from Main street saw JVoSrheeb'^on in the alley, but did not see VgSrheea. We had no wdris with any one. I broke some eggs and stooped down to wipe it off my har.ds with grass.

Mrs. Lockwcod—I went out in ifiy yard with Tap«cott a few minutes before Thompson was burt. I heard them cursing one another. No one was present but Tapseott and Thompeon when the

blow was struck. 3 I wMt cback into the house, and Sam came back with me. He went in my yard, but I don't know where he went then.' He cames to onr house later, I don't know what time. He staged jtffininSfe ait tthe^ window, ani men went away. I saw him no more' that night.

Cross-Examined—It eeenped to me that Thompeon had a long stick in his hand. I got away from my brother because I was afraid Thompson would strike and hit m^ The lick was struck, and 1 didn't HWVrho' struck iThonrpeon WM cursing and swearing. I was excited and do not know what he said, The stick wail Kail as-long as himfteltfabd %e- had it draWn up in both hands. I know of no running from there. No one was present but* myself and brother and Mr. Thompson. I WM only a step or two away when the lick was struck.

Miss Thompson—I saw Tnpscott in the afternoon ^between five at.J six o'clock. He passed through the stable, and shut both doora a« hour before father was hark.r 'T -'ve

Cross-eiamloed—I never nw him be' fore, nouced the BiaiibeesiM*'l^x)ked back at the hone, as if he waifitec|£» see some«n&-- The difficult/ hap|enedabout seven o'clock. Tt'was an hour after I saw him.

TESTIMONY FORTHsjDEFENSE. Samuel Lock wood—At four t^'dock we we'ri ir^ the barber shop we werq tot in the alley that afternoon until we saw Voorhees' team being hitched up. Tapseott,. I don't think, ever saw Thompson. He' lived about five miles southwest of Marshall, Clarke county, III. He only came over in the morning.

Nicholas Hurst—I have lived within three or four miles of where Tapeobtt was raised, for fifteen years. I know his general character. It is good as far as know. I never heard anything against him.

John Hurst—I have known ever since ,he was a little: boy. I lived about four miles from his home. I never heard a word about him one way or the other: [It was proposed to prove by this witness that his character was good for morality, and that he was a peaceable ma^, although he had never heard it questioned. Overruled,] "'Eeander Read—I have known Tapseott for ten years. I never heard his character questioned one way or the other.

F. L. Lesseure—I live in Clarke county, Illinois. I have knoWn Tapseott about three years. I live at Auborn. He is a neighbor. I never heard anything about his character. The following question was propounded: "Do you know of vou own knowledge, after -having been ac quainted with him for three years, whether lie Was a peaceable and law-abiding citizen?" This was overruled by the Court

The evidence was here closed. The case was argued, briefly, by Col. Thompson for the State, and Hon. Wm. Mack for the defense and after instructions from the Court, the jary at fojir o'clock etired.

Between nine and ten o'clock' at nigbt the jury reported that a verdict could not be agreed Upon, and begged to be diir charged. The court refused, and a few minutes before eleven the jury came in witha verdict of acquittal! The prisoner, '£W"hd' has lain in jail just nine months, w^^hen discharged- His mother who reSiaeS '"bear Marth'tflt,' "Wa.s wlW 'liYm during the trial, twid bas watched the proceedings WiththaJ interesf^and'anxiety which a mother alone can know.

could not tell whether Thompson was bloody or-'not. It was between sun down and dark. I can not tell the sized man it was. Not a soul was there when I got there but Mrs. Thompson.

i'rotilke jjanvilie Commircial.l ~JQ The Terre Haute* Danville and Chicago Railroad, Is finished to IAckiCreek,'two miles East of Danville. The company, will use the tracks of the I., B. & W. and T.,- W. & W. roads until they construct their own into the ^ity/which they jntend to do between now and spring. A rrangegiei)ts_^jt^e niade "with JtKe 1L. _W. ,\V. road to run all trains To^arid from their depots on East Main street, until such time as the Chicago road shall provide its main track, sidings, &c, within the old city limits: and in the construction and use of which, the Terre Haute road willjjoin. ,i

Now that the road South is done, we will give our opinion of its importance to our connty and, more especially, to Danville. For the present we leave out of. view the fact that the Terre Hau|^ road' is a link in and'forms a part of a continuous route, from Chicago to Evansville and direct connection be made with Nashvill'e, Tennessee, Mobile and New Orleans, by continuous and already completed lines of railroad. Still, we limitj our view'to'a narrower range, and Will consider the Terre Haute road only in-so-far as the. prosperity of pur cit^and neighborhood will be prompted by its construction. And lat". Danville is not aWay station, buf termini of the Terre Il^ute road, and will, for all time, remain the end of a rtm'fiing division and a liberal proportion of its operatives and employes will become property holders and citizens.o& Danville. 2d. The Terre Ha:'*e line gives us a direct outlet to the South. Evansville is the largest city, and the most important shipping point, on the Ohio river, belo^Cincinnati and on direct commnnicatiou' at all seasons, by river and railroad, with the Southern States. Often, the South affords the best market for grain, hay, live stock, especially horses and mules. In return we can bring (he cotton, sugars, rice and other products of the South directly to our doors!' ''These advantages cannot be too highly appreciated, and will tell upon tlie growth and prosperity of onr city for all time, 3d. This road makes the whole coun« try to the mouth of the Vermillion, tributary to Danville, giving the people of Perrysville, Eugene and Newport opportunity to deal with us at all seasons of the year. Wepredict thtit our merchants, dealers, and manufacturers, if they show the energy and enterprise without which they will not deserve success, will have a constantly increasing trade with the pl4ces wO'have named. South of Newport, business will draw toward Terre Haute. & ,WU/«

The Terre Haute road gives us direct access to the Brazil Block Coal. The valhe of^thiscpal for manufacturing iron has only been known for a few years, since which time old iron worker* from Pennsylvania and Ohio have come West and expended thousands of dollars at Brazil and Terre Haute, in factories, all of which are now in successful opperation. i^*-

Already the live firm of Webster & Youmans, of Danville, are selling in our city, and jobbing to all points, a superior quality tjf 'nails, which they buy from a lactory in Terre Haute. Since its discovery, no place in this part of the west, can'succeed as s- manufacturing centre unless it has convenient n*ess to the block coaL

When our people awake lo their true interest, when we become alive to the only means of commercial prosperity, material and growth—and we trust the awakening may come before the centers of industry are fixed elsewhere near us, when it will be too late—and turn their miada^Ad. mcmey to aianufaoturiogr&fei* block coal wilj^play a leading part.

With our own coal and abundanrwller, we can make cheaper steam than any place in the West. We will stop a part of the Brazil coal here, instead of suffering it all to be hauled 125 miles further to Chicago. We will intercept a portion of the Lake Superior iron ore on its way to Brazil. We will detain some of the Iron Mountain ore going tf&ough our place to Fort Wayne, to be sent back to us in the shape of gas pipes. We will combine these raw materials and manufacture them into useful commodities, giving labor to hundreds or artisans, and shedding prosperity and material wealth on all.

Then will the value of the Terre Hante road to Danville be appreciated by our citl2en8^ ±1 ,• "BONY"' Lyon, who had his hand so badly hurt by the explosion of his gun, while hunting, is able to make his regular trips as an engineer on the Evansville and Crawfordsville Railroad.

HOLDEK.—The •"'Journal"

pays the tribute below to the memory of EufeeoeJiSolfeaj ahd we repriit it in addition to the words already spoken:

Eugene I. Holden was hprn in this city ,QB die lQth day of Aaguat, &. D. 1845, Mid was consequently but little more than 26 years of age at the time

of his death. He

was the son-of Cephas S: Holden, an old and respected citizen, who died many years-ago. He received a. good education at the Vermillion Institute, Ashland, Ohio. He served during the latter |art of the war in the loth Regiment of Indiana Volunteers, and was discharged on the 4th of Augnst, 1866- Soon after* that he entered the-' University of Miohigan a* a atudent it law, and graduated from that institution as a Bachelor of Laws on the ,25ih day of March, 1866. Ih the fall of that year, and after his return home, he was elected Prosecuting Attorney of the Common Pleas Court for lh*cki'aties of Vigo, Parke and Sullivan. He served two years in that capacity with ^credit'to himself, and with satisfaciiob to the public and the court. ~Hegave evil dence of excellent capacity and of great energy of character. No young man ever came to the Bar of Terre Haute, within onr memory, with better attainments or with fairer prospects. Had his health been firm he wonld have] rapidly secured a prominent position in our miidsL

Mr. Holden was one of the kindest and most faithful of human beings. His devotion to his fiiends was sincere, absolute and unfaltering. The simplicity and gpodnesa oi his nature in this respect was very beautifh! to those who knew him well.

He never shrank from his convictions. He was adhesive alike to friends and to principles. His affections were strong and where he once placed them there they remained until he breathed no more. These were the great and shining qualiJfCF^for which his friends^pved him,under all circumstances. The faults and infirmities of this life- will rest lightly on a breast so guileless and sincere as his.

A few months ago, when •health and strength began in a marked manner to fail, his now bereaved mother started and traveled with him to many points in searoh of that he was no more to find in this world. Three days before his death they returned home.' He was still able to walk about the house, and to sit up most of the time.

His mind was very clear and cheerful to the last moment. He ha 1 no gloom or depression of spirits in view of death. He said he was ready to go, and that there were no terrors for him beyond the veil. Within five minutes of the great change he asked simply(and quietly for a glass of water, and then fell asleep as peacefully as an infant taking its rest.

On Sunday his remains were carried to the Baptist Church, the Rev. Mr. Stimson officiating, and from there to his grave. Col. John P. Baird. Hon. D. W. Voorhees, Sandiord C. Davis, Capt John C. Briggs, Richard Dunnigan and Emery Pv-Beauchamp, all members of the Bar, acted as pall-bearers, thus testifying their respect for their deceased brother. The Prairie City Guards also turned out in full uniform and paid all militrry honors duet to a comrade .dead. Thus passed away one who leaves only the memory.of h!6 virtuea'behind him.

IS seldom that we have seen a truth more 8trongIy and tersely put than in the following paragraph from the last nu ber of thft "ISfation" upon the subject of personal journalism:

We have always wondered, and shall never cease to wondera how it is the editors oT newspapers have riot "found out how uLterly nauseating to tbe great bulk of their readers these quarrels with each other are, and how very few people read them and liow completely all interest in them is confined to other newspaper men. The wonder, too, is made all the greater by the fact? that no newspaper was probably ever yet injured in circulation or influence by what another newspaper said ol it. The success of a paper,"and Ihe estimation in which it is held^depend, as in the case of individuals, on its general character—that is on prolonged experience of the way in which it does its work, and of the value of its judgments of men and affairs. Any paper which has gained a respectablefooiing in these respect^ can not .be ip the,least injured-by another paper saying now and tnen that it is a fool, a liar, or knave.

CHICAGO RELIEF.—The letter below explains itself. It is proper to say that ih 'addition t'o the'sum drawn, the Guards have given twenty-fi^e' dollars to a lady in this city, a sufferer by the fire. This Was done at the suggestion of the local committee: JamezXyMara Eta., Treasurer Prairie Qiiy jQwMx, Terre Haute, Ind.'

DEAR SIR: In accordance with your favor of Uie 20th inst., to Mr, Wirt Dexter, I have this day drawn upon you for the sum of two hundred and iifty dollars, ($250 00) through Messrs. McKeen & Minflhall. in favor of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society.

Please accept yourself,, and convey to the," generous members of thi "Prairie City Guards," who joined you in this good work, the grateful thanks of our afflicted people for this kindly arid welcome assistance.

I enclose with this circular published recently by tlieabove'society, which will afford you some idea of the magnitude of the work they have undertaken—a responsibility from which they would have shrunk, irere they not cheered on, and supported by the active and practical sympathy of yourself, and, friends, in commpVwhh our brethren in humanity, fron. all parts of the civilized world. I Yours, very respecfully,

This confidence has been growing for twenty years and it is still extending. It ia not the result oi oredulity it has wot been engendered by any human devico, 'but is the spontaneous and natural censequenco of experience-— What people see daily going on under their own eyes they cannot question. When families in unhealthy districts, that resort to this wholesome vegetable tonic as a preventive, escape periodical fevers, and their immediate neighbors, who neglect that precaution, aro prostrated by the disease, how is it possible that the phenomenon should bs without its lesson? In like manner when it is seen that obstinate cases of dyspepsia, of liver complaint, of constipation, of nervous weakness, and of general debility, yield to tho operations of the famous remedy, how oan even incredulity itself withhold itj endorsement? Eye-witnesses of the salutary efTocts of the bitters, ve to be found in overy civilized settlement on this continent. The thousands upon thousands who owe their restoration to health and strength, or their preservation from sickness to its extraordinary inedieinal properties, are enthusiastic its praise. The multitudes who recommend it in a neighborly way to their friends and acquaintances, as well as those who make public their estimate of its virtues, are always ready to state their reasons for the faith that i.» in them. They have all cither felt or witnessed its beneficent operations.
