TERRE HAUTE, IND.

Wednesday Morning, March C, 1872.

Tlic City and Yiclnity.

11I ,KY is rural. BAGDAD is busy. MEKOM is moral. PARIS is pushing. PAXTON is pacific. BRAZIL is boastful. NEWPORT IS noisy. ,r' I LOCKTORT is lively. CLINTON is crowing. HARMONY is happy. SULLIVAN is serene. MAHSIIALL is merry. CARBON is "cheeky." CI.AYTON is contented. 1'ARKE is prosperous. BESSEMER is budding. CLAY is carboniferous. ST. MARY'S is solemn. PUCE'S PEAK is pious. NEVINS is nettlesome. SEELYVILLE is sedate. CARLISLE is carousing.

SIIEI.MIRN isn't showy. KAYKTTE is flourishing. PIORRYSVILLE is pretty. I!RIIX)ETON is bustling. MACKSVILLE is muddy. HARTFORD is hilarious. ASIIHORO' is ambitious. SIBLEYTOWN is soaring. BOCKVILLE is religious.

FARMERSDURCI is frisky. ,, BUSSERON is belligerent. YKKMILLION is virtuous. EUUENE needs no eulogy. GHISWOI.W isn't gorgeous. OAKTOWN isn't orthodox. CENTER POINT is soporific. STRINGTOWN is struggling. 1'RAIRIF.TON is progressive. BLOOMFIELD has the blues. CLOVERPALK is comfortable. BOWLING GREEN is bellicose. COVINGTON has "Copperheads." WORTHINGTON is wofully wasted. BLOOMINODALE has "Broadbrims."

IT IS conceded that the American Lire Alarm Telegraph, on exhibition at the Council room, is a perfect piece of mechanism, possessing every quality requisite. and performing its work admirably. It gives instantaneous notice of the precise locality of a lire, thus saving precious time to the firemen, and giving them incalculable aid. It is one of the most valuable inventions of the age. This much it is but just to say. Whether it is best for our city to purchase it, with our present deplorable lack of water for extinguishing tires whether there are other things that we need more, are questions to be carefully considered. The cost would be less than $S,000, and it is claimed that a great reduction in the rates of insurance will be one result of the introduction of this system. Can the insurance agents of the city guarantee this reduction? If so, let us hear from them.

CAPT.

JOHN H. DICKERSON—well

known in this city—formerly of the United States army, died at St. Louis, on Saturday, aged fifty-one years. He was a native of thia county, and was appointed from here as cadet to West Point.

"EXCETREA" sends us a poem for pub lication which is quite too pretentious production to be decided on hastily. We file it for early and serious examination and will give it publicity if it bears out the promise of the introductory lines.

DURING the last ten or twelve months the amount of money received in this city in payment of losses by life insurance companies, has been largely in excess of the amount paid by our citizens for insurance during the same time.

THE 'Journal" complains of the employment of eleven policemen, including the Chief, to keep watch and ward over a city of stupendous distances. Had the present Council followed the example of its Democratic predecessor, we should now have just twenty policemen besides the Chiefc 3

A SAD CA8JB of seduction, desertion and death has just occurred in our city. We will not give details, because it cannot be done without doing injury to innocent parties far beyond any compensatory good that would result therefrom. The seducer has absconded.

JUDGE MARTINDALE has a card in the Indianapolis "Journal" in relation to the livery stable affair and "Relief Fund," in which he says: "I have stated, more than once, that it was especially improper to connect Attorney General Hanna's name with the transaction."

SOMEWHAT less than its accustomed solicitude for "the Master's service" was painfully apparent in yesterday's "Journal It is earnestly hoped that hitherto faithful guardian of religious interests is not about to relax a vigilance the exercise of which has caused his name be honored by the truly good in all parts of our land.

CITIZENS generally will do well to prepare for the early winding up of sublu« nary affairs. We are informed by one of the most celebrated astronomers of Switzerland that the largest comet ever seen is making a bee-line for this globe, with a velocity perfectly terrific. It travels in a curve both parabolic and diabolic, and is bound to collide with us on or about he 12th of August next.

THE "Journal's" allusion to the "choir of the tall steeple church" is quite too mysterious for our comprehension. This deponent never sings, except in the in* (nermost recesses of the forest primeval where he has sometimes ventured on a duet with an owl or a hawk, but generally with fatal result to the bird.

INTERMENTS.—The following inter ments were made in the City Cemetery last week:

Feb. 24—Infant of D. H. Wamsley, age 7 months—Congestion. Feb. 28—Charles Bell, from Kentucky.

CAPT. HALORAN, who has a coal mine five miles west of this city, has struck a vein of Potter's clay, seven feet thick. It has been examined by practical men, and is pronounced to be of the best quality, entirely free from grit and dirt. His coal is dug from the Bide of a hill, and the clay is underneath on a level with the ground surrounding.

IN the Criminal Court none are allowed within the bar but attorneys and officers of the court. This is not only right in itself, but is a rule of necessity on account of the size of the room. The seats outside the railing, however, are just as good as those within, as the proceedings can be heard in every part of the court room.

WOULDN'T six policemen be sufficient to keep the city quiet?— Journal. Three years ago when the Democracy came in, they increased the police force from six to eleven. This number has not been increased by the present Republican Council. It is universally conceded that the present force is entirely efficient. There was never better order in the city than now^

YOUNG MEN whocan't find employment in the city should set their faces towards the country, where there is abundance of work, with fair pay and "good feed." Loafing is destructive of all that is good in hnman character, while any honest work is honorable. A man may dig in the dirt all his life, and yet keep his soul white. "The glorious privilege to do, is man's most noble dower."

MR. WHITE takes with him Messrs. Malmburg, Buck, Murray and Fisher, and Mrs. Moore, Miss Kate Fletchpr, Miss Anna Mortimer and Miss May Williams. He intends to travel the coming season in Illinois and this State.—Ind.

Journal.

Miner.

Your great-grand-children may possibly be glad, should they live to see tha consummation.

It will not pay Mr. White to bring that stupendous combination to Terre Haute, but our neighbors in Macksville, Lockport or Youngstown might give them a welcome.

OUR saintly friend of the "Journal" continues to manifest a deep interest in the welfare of the reverend clergy, and the prosperity of the church and he shows that strong desire to promote "the Master's service" which could only spring up from the serene depths of a truly good man's bosom. How blest is this favored community in the services of so faithful and vigilant a guardian of its religious interests.

THE new arrangement at the Terre Haute House relieves Messrs. Huston and Grant from further duty as Manager and Chief Clerk of that popular hotel. Both these gentlemen have made many friends by their faithful attention to business and uniform courtesy of deportment. Patrons of the Terre Haute House will miss them but we trust they will still remain in our city and share largely in its prosperity. We can't afford to spare gentlemen of their worth.

DANIEL THORNEBURG, on Wednesday, surrendered himself to the authorities of Fayette township, in this county, to await trial for the killing of Perry Shores, who was wounded by him in a fight which occurred between them on the 27th of August last. Shores had just died from the effect of the wound, it is supposed. Thorneburg had an examination before two justices, at Goshen, Thursday, who committed him to jail to await the action of the grand jury. The parties were both young

ONCE MORE we wish to remind that small but happy number of our readers who were so fortunate as to have an income of $2,000 during last year, that the Assistant Assessor, Fred. W. Stoecker, has received the blanks on which the proper statement should be made out. All persons knowing themselves indebtei to the government in this line, will please call at his office, No. 96 Main street, and file their statement. By doing so, they will greatly facilitate the work of the Assistant Assessor.

THE first number of the "Saturday Evening Mail" under the management of P. S. Westfall, late of the EXPRESS, was issued last Saturday. Mr. Westfall has wisely determined to make no radical changes either in the mechanical appearance or general conduct of his paper, feeling confident that, as he found it both prosperous and popular, it is the part of wisdom, in the main, to "let well enough alone." He has, however, introduced some new features that will prove interesting and valuable. It is hardly necessary to say that the EXPRESS is gratified at the success which marks Mr- W.'s start in his new enterprise and sincerely wishes bim all the prosperity that worth, industry, experience and tact can achieve. In this community, there is appreciation and encouragement for those who deserve them. This fact is a guaranty of a prosperous future for PERRY WESTFALL and his paper-

THERE are former residents of Terre Haute in the United States Senate, in the House, and in high official positions in several States. Our city is also well represented in art, science and literature in various parts of Europe and America. And we have any quantity of block coal.

WE thought our allusion to the blast furnace and the Grand Jury was so palpably a joke that no one would misunder stand it. But there are some solemn souls who "take everything in dead earnest," and a few of this sort are disturbed by needless apprehensions of legal inters ference with the pig iron business.

THE Western Indiana Railroad Company has filed articles of association The proposed line extend* from Brazil. Clay county, through Parke and Fountain counties, to a point on the Illinois State line, about ten miles southeast of Rossville, 111., a distance of about seventy miles. Covington, in Fonntain county, and Montezuma, in Parke county, are the objective points of the survey. The Directors are Edward Walker, J. S. Campbell, C. B. Mansfield, C. Greenwood and Joseph Young.

DR. W. M. STEVENSON, en Wednesday, received a telegram announcing the sudden death of his daughter Gertrude. This sad event occurred in Logan county, Kentucky, where she was on a visit to her relatives. The deceased had reached her 16th year, was well educated, very sprightly and intelligent. Her death is a severe blow to Dr. S., who at once, though an invalid, left to give all the attention that an earnest affection commands. The friends of the Doctor will sympathize with him in his afllction.

A LIFE POLICY, in a good company, is a nice thing to have in the house. But persons insuring should be careful to deal with agents who have good standing as honorable business men. Itinerating agents, representing new companies, should be cautiously treated. This ia a kind of business quite too serious to be trifled with. There is no occasion for any deception or trickery in the matter, because there are numerous agents in our city of known integrity, who would have nothing to do with any company not entirely safe. "CALEB" is politely, but firmly assured, that his communication on the personal affairs of sundry citizens will not do for our columns. We like strong language, but when it is as strong as

lye,

we prefer

not to print it. And any man is a cowardly sneak who tries to slander his neighbors anonymously to get into a newspaper language that he would not dare to use to the faces of the men of whom he complains. The noses of this class of scurrilous scribblers can be tweaked with im-. punity.

THE Indianapolis "Commercial says a gentleman who has been along me line speaks highly of the towns on the old Indianapolis and Terre Haute Railroad. In the large way Greenpastle and Brazil are quite notable, and manifest a great deal of public spirit. The citizens of the latter place confidently expect to furnish block coal for a million years to all who need it enough to pay a fair price. Greencastle is engaged in digging for water, and her public wells will yet make the city famous. Amo is a thriving little town in Hendricks county, and promises to soon become larger. Clayton, is a pretty little place, and headquarters for the nursery business. Plainfield is another beautiful little town, with an enterprising population.

A TERRE HAUTE church member turned a brother church member out of his house because he could not pay the rent in advance.—Exchange.

We don't know anything about this case, but we do know that church membership has nothing to do with business transactions. Men who are honest—who contract only such debts as they fully intend to pay—are not likely to be turned out of doors here, or anywhere else. We happen to know that there are church members who cannot be trusted, and he who lets them occupy a house without paying in advance, loses his rent. This is saying nothing against churches, for there are, and always have been, dishonest men in all human organizations.

OUR evening neighbor has been "doing" the great freight car factory of Seath & Hager, and learns, among other things, that "each car, in its manufacture, requires about 6,000 pounds of iron for wheels and axles, and from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds for the remainder of the iron work wood work varies from 3,000 to 4,000 per car. The completed car ranges from 12,000 to 18,000 or 20,000 pounds each. Last year the company melted 2,200 tons of iron, and propose, the present year, increasing it to 3,500 tons, and also to construct a foundry for car wheels exclusively, capable of making 50 to 60 per day. They also propose to increase from the present capacity of 2J cars to 4 per day, or about 1,200 per year. The number of employes, at present, is 125 amount of pay roll from $1,400 to $1,500 per week.
