ON Wednesday of last week Lillie Boll Pennington, aged years, was drownod in tho river at Flosher's landing, fourteen miles south of tho city.

past one

morning at about half-

o'clock, Mrs.

Show maker,

living on North Eighth street, was awakoned by a nimble barol'ootcd burglar, creeping alongside the bod. Klie thought it was a cut, and in trying to brush It away, struck the thief, who made off with a fine chronometer watch belonging to her husband, who was fast asleep. Tho thief had taken down a small watch belonging to their little son, but finding it oreide, had dropped it upon tho lloor as too common to steal, llo had entered by a window in tho rear, taking a stop-ladder from the grape arbor for that purposo. He had carefully removod a washbowl and pitcher to a fence, putting thorn down separately. lie left prints of his toes on the wash-stand, and also the impression of Ids bare foot on the dirt beneath the window outside. He never took anything else away, though quite a number of drawers wero opened and ransackod.—[Kxpress, 2d.

SMALL boys in tho south end have, for some time, been spiriting away in tho stilly hours of night, certain pieces of tho Iron fence in front of St. Agness College, and have thus, by tbeBweat of their procious little faces, turned many an honest penny. In fact, Mr. William Devino has had his fears lest there would bo any of that fence left. If the boyss will now direct their batteries to tho house which lioads East College street, they may be of some service. Whon that Is down College street Is an open thoroughfare, thero then being nothing in tho travelers' way more serious than trees, bushes, brlokbats and dirt piles.

How DISCOURAGING it is to a penniless lover to rush up to his post?flleo box, expecting a letter from his fair Angelina, and discover naught but one of those slips with the word "VACANT" staring him in tho face. Ho peors to tho right, to tho loft, and over the top, to discover if there be a lettor within. If ho wero cortnin thero was, ho would borrow tho necessary wealth to remove tho "vacant" slip but how mortifying it would bo to do so, and then find nothing within. The harrowlnc uncertainty of tho situation makes Hie joyloss to tho victim for the time being.

SUNDAY SCHOOL OV TOAST.

Notes of Travel.

To the Editor* of tlie Evening Gazette: I arrived at Denver, Colorado, on Saturday at 2 A. M., all safe and sonnd, bnt much worn from loss of rest and sleep. In my jonrneyings tbrongh Missouri I noticed generally pretty fair crops. Kansas City, Missouri, and Lawrenco, Kansas, I fonnd as quiet as a Jane morning. Through Kansas I observed very promising corn, and dost enough to last my natural life. All Topeka turned ont to s«o the train come in, and rrjtficed thereat and with good reason, for tho train left about seventy dollars in greenbacks with them, and never squealed once.. The counties of Salino and Dickerson give promise of excellent crops. At tho last

Eoys

iace of any momeut in Kansas the again left some eighty dollars in greenbacks. Soon after night set in, and when we awoke in the morning we were far out upon the plains with the stations from twenty to forty-five miles apart, and varying in size from villages ot three houses to cities of at loast ten domicils, each with its quota of cows, sows, and calves, and occasionally a half grown buffalo. At about 9 o'clock 1B the morning we saw two or three herds

,In. -, of buffalo of from forty to fifty head, Last hursday a party of

eacj1

All along these vast plains, deer were as plentiful as flies in a sugar

bowl. At length wo arrived at tho much talkod o? city of Denver. Denverltes claim a population of 30,000 for their city, but counting them Chicago fashion, visitors and all I think tboy will hardly number ol 20,000. It is inhabited by all classes. Thero aro as good citizens as can be found evoii in Torro Haute, and I am paiuod to say, as mean as can bo found oven in LaFayette. As a rule, I think the ladle's feet aro as largo as they aro in oitlior of the last named places, but I won't bo positive.

Money is very scarce hero and work is low, but this is partially atoned for by tho cheapness and abundance of fruit and vegetables.

The schools aro good, churches aro ten In number. Thore aro many visitors hero, but the comers and goers aro in about equal nnmbers. I went up to tho mountain from here by a narrow gauge railroad, running from Denver to a town called Morrison, on Bear creok, right botweon the mountains, and consisting of ono tavern, a twonickel restaurant, and three princely dwelling houses of about eight by ten feet, or at most ton by twelve. I stayed over Sunday and attended Sunday school in the restaurant. The bill of fare was one Bible class of five members and two Infant classes with four members each. Upon each side of this town the rocks tower porpendlcu.larly 300 feet. The general health of the inhabitants in and around Donver seems to be good. I oxpcct to go down to Colorado Springs, some seventy-five miles Bouth of this place. I shall roturn In a fow days, and will then give you more particulars about things in goneral. P. MILLIOAN.

(J. 1). SWATZ.

To 1 lie Memory of a Beloved Friend. To the Editors of tho Evening Gazette The-sftirtling announcement in the GAZETTE of the appalling accident which

rcBultod

in tho death of my

most excellent and tried friond, G. D. Swatz, shockod mo so deeply thot I have no words to express my profound griof. Poor man would I not bo Inhuman to feel otherwise. Little did I think when ho took me by the hand, Sunday noon, bidding me good cheer, as was his manner of speech, that the angel of death was so near him, standing ready to strike the fatal blow, even to death. Indeed, to all human appearances, the reverse was to be anticipated. His noble and manly bearing, prompted by correct habits, presenting health and its best evidence, choerful ness, bespoke long life. But how weajjr and short-sighted Is the human understanding. Truly that Scripture which speaks thus is ever applicable to us in all stations and conditions: "In the midst of life we are In death." As carpenters, we have worked together in heat and cold, and I wish to say that a klndorormore honest heart never ebbdd out its life's blood in any station of life. Those who knew Mr. Swatx require no further ovidence as to the virtues he exhibited, which woe his guide. Sufficient is known to place bim high up with the noble and good. But it Is of our own busiuess relations I speak. I have known him to divide work when he had not two days' work in the week, to assist others to procure bread. He was perfection, In the sense mortals understand It. His whole end aud aim was to do his part manfully in the great battle of lire, always favoring the woak and helpless.

His constant devotion to the wants of his interesting family presents a pattern by which tho toiling millions inay square their acts. He leaves an excellent and devoted wife, and five children—one boy and four girls. They have never known want but the strong arm of tho loviug fathor is paralyzed in death. His constant toll was their only support—it is suddenly cut off. Will a Christian people withhold any necessary comfort they may ask? If ever llioro wore Uvo deserving orphans, th«'se five children of G. B. Swatz are, in every sense of tho word. His toils are at tin end, but not willingly. His laat thought was: "My p»or family 1 What will they do?"

Rest in peace, noble soul. J. W. RHODES.

IT is an occasion as raro as a total eclipse of tho sun which furnishes such a scene or gives Buch an impression as that which visitors t« St. Louis enjoyed on tho evening of the Fourth. There is much in the city which will impress a tota! stranger deeply with tho regal munificence of some of Its citizens. A procession, such as has never been equaled in this country which for twelve miles presented tho outward signs of mighty Industries, a vast rovlow of transcendent Importance, an indication of the tendencies of our times of far moro circunistanco and moment than tho grandest military review that was ever enactod upon the plain before the admiring gaze of a European monarch. Such scenes as these,, together with rides through parks and gardens of which any city might be proud, were calculated to make stranger expect a pyrotechnic display so grand as to require the. full power of the immaglnation to conceive of it, when he read in their papers that tho city intended to eclipse all other efforts in an oxhibltion of fireworks. About ono hundred thousand people crossed the bridgo In order to sf-cure good positions on the Illinois side. This alone, at five cents per head each way, would havo furnished Ihe $10,000 which it was reported would bo consumed in providing for the works.

Al 8 o'clock, when the first salute wasfir(dt the summit of expectation was readied. Far as the eye could reach myriads thronged the banks. At least 700,000 persons stood anxiously looking at the vast outline of this mightiest of bridges. When torpedoes wore dropped from the bridge, exploding when they reached the tunnel, so as to reverberate with deep intonations, the effect was tin© and the acclamations of the ople attested their interest. As to the fire-works themselves, we have nothing to say. Perhaps expectation was i»ised so hlg has to render realization impossible hut certain It I* that a moro disgusted and disappointed crowd never assembled. It lasted about one hour and a half, and hardly held the attention of tho people during that time.

PERIIAPS we aro not a judge of nuisances, perhaps wo dou't know a stagnant4 ftool wvered with green slime when we see It, but we are going to speak of that frog pond in rront of the "Buckeye Store," just as though we did. Wo call the attention or the Board of Health to it again. We call the attention of the Stroet Commissioner to it. Wo propose to keep ealllnu and kcrp howliug until it is

The Terre Haute Excursion on the Railroad and in the (Harden City.

METROPOLITAN MAOlOTICEtCB.

The Power of the Press.

To the Editor of the Evening Gazette: When Mr. Sterrett suggested an excursion to Chicago, he hit the nail square on the head. He said it wonld draw, and be was right. Never before did such a large excursion party leave Terre Haute for so long a distance and time. It was not a common crowd, either. The best citizens of Terre Haute attended.

Announcement WSB made last afternoon that those who wished to start that night at 10 o'clock, could do so, and about 125 availed themselves of the opportunity to come to Chicago. They arrived here in good order, this morning, and were in the main quartered at tho Palmer House. This morning as early as 6 o'clock, people Began to collect at the depot in Terre Haute, and by 7 there were 408 there, and all were accommodated with first-class passage to the magnificent marble city of the continent. Eoough more will come to-morrow to swell the number of Terre Hauteaas and neighbors In Chicago, to oeven hundred, that being tho number of tickets sold for the occasion

The party that came through to-day was a well planned one, Though the trip was a long one, it was not tedious. The weather was delightful, the coaches comfortable, the grack smooth, tho officials courteous, and the country along tho route beautiful to behold, (so wore the ladies.)

The green and golden grain contrast ed strongly as the one waved in tho wind, and tbo other reposed in the shock. Mr. Sterrett, though he is not a Spiritualist,(tbe basic fact business to the contrary notwithstanding,) is a spirited gentleman, and he seemed to ne omnipresent and irrepressible today. fie is a firm believer in the efficacy of prayer, and must havo tried it on Old Prob, for he (Prob) smiled benignly on tho occasion. Tho train arrived at the depot a little after 4 o'clock, having made good time. Busses, coaches, and other conveyances wore in readi ness there to take the party where each desired. Nearly two hundred wont to the Palmer House, ono of tho most magnificent hotels lu the world, and wore well cared for there under the Immediate instruction of Manager Turner, an old Terre Hautoan. The others scattered.

Supper over, they faasted their eyes on the architectural and artistic beauty of the magnificent marble olty. To-morrow somo will go to Grand Haven, Spring Lake, and other places. Tho greater number of the excursionists will return here Friday night.

Chicago is unquestionably tho most magnificent city on tho continent. It is unlike any other, thero being more uniformity in tho architecture tho most beautiful part of it having beon built since tho fire, and all in tho most modern styles of the architectural art. Eastern cities are constructed after the new and tho old styles, and the contrast is not pleasing to the oye Hero thero aro whole stroets of six and seven story structures constructed of marblo, stone, Iron aud glass in the East thoro will be a beautiful block of stono, then dingy brick, the one six, tho other three stories In height. This is true or the business buildings. The suburban residences in the East are fully as lino, if not finer than thoso in tho West. The hotels of Chicago are not excelled for grandeur by any In tho country. There are some here that cannot be approached tor magnificence. They are tlie Palmer, Grand Pacific. Sherman and Tremont. The newspapers of Chicago are the livost In the world. The Times and Tribune occupy beautiful buildings of their own, and are among the richest institutions in this city. In enterprise they are not excelled. Like the hotels, they are not only an honor to Chicago but to the whole country as well. A city cannot be better judged than by Its newspapers. The newspapers do more for the advancement of the material prosperity of cities than any other one branch of business. It is apart of tho function of the press to advertise abroad the advantages of the city from which It derives its support, and in proportion to that support will its influence and power be felt. In no city on the continent has this troth been mora clearly, demonstrated than in Chicago. The citizens have supported and enriched the newspapers, and tho newspapers in turn have advertised the city throughout tho civilized world, until its fame is now known in all lands and Its pralso is pronounced by every tongue known to civilization.

CHICAGO, July 1 (evening), 1874.

Enforcing the Baxter Bill. The city police are taking active steps, now that by the action ot the Council it is made their duty, towards tho enforcement of the various provisions of the Baxter bill. On Friday, John Cunningham, proprietor of tho Bull Pen, was brought before Ills Honor Mayor Thomas, upon two charges preferred against him by policeman Vandever, for selling liquor after 9 o'clock. Upon Ike first of thoso he was fined $25 and costs, and upon tho second $15 aud costs. The first ho appealed, and tho second he paid. This nersistont pecking at John has about disgusted him with the business, and he is reported as having said, in tho presence ot His Honor the Mayor, that thero was no money any more in the liquor busiuess, and as for him, ho was going into somo business that wbuld pay better. Tho present would be a fine time for the crusaders to assist John towards the straight and narrow way by prayor. Ho is in a melting mood now, if ho ever was, and tho story of tho unrighteousness of his present calling hoaped upon the unprofitableness of it would undoubtedly Induce him tocjuit forever.

C. A. Fera was also brought before Mayor Thomas by officer Vandever and fined f5 and costs, for selling liquor after o'clock. IIo appealed tho case.

Last Monday information was filed berore tho Grand Jury for violating the Baxter bill, againsl Pat C.iv« naugh and Dick Houston, lor jelling liquor at the picnic at Early's Grove, on tbo Fourth. James Trjon, who keeps a saloon on Walnut street, and Bolide Co., on Main, were also informed against for selling qn the Fourth. The polico, and especially officer Vandever, cannot be too highly commended for their activity in this matter.

Owing to the number of cheap excursions toother pointson the Fourth, the Knights of the Mystic Tie did not have as largo an excursion last Saturday as they anticipated. They left the Union Depot at 8 o'clock, with titeen cars of merry souls, all bound to h»vj a good time in spite of the heat. About two hundred more wire taken on at stations between this and Cliuton, making the party nearly seveu hundred in all. The grounds wero reached about 10 o'clock, where about thousand personp were already congregated from other points. Touie*» siring baud started up tbo music for dancing, and *'Hl1 f®1)1 inerrj as a marriage »»ell,' until starting time at 6 o'clock. Tho grounds were iu excellent condition.

THOSE who visited St. Louis on the Fourth, report tho parade and bridgo a complete success, but the fireworks a complete swindle. Tho papers wasted moro powder In writing It up than was burued in tbo actual display.

IT is a question of dispute between the Express and Journal whethor some Marshall ladlfes blew ont the gas at the Torre Haute House, Saturday night, or not. It Is agreed, however, that tho gas got loose somehow, and produced forthwith a ghastly smell.

DR. STERRETT, the leading spirit of tho Presbyterian Church excursion to Chicago, was around this mornlugi smiling on all who held bills against that enterprise, and settling them. Eight or nine hundred dollars will bo left alter all tho little "wllllams" are Pa,d.

COPIES of tho^Exbft&S cag be obtained at Vancleave's ice cream saloon at any time.—[Greencastle cor. to the Express.

Now how in thunder does Vancieave manage to wrap up ice cream in a paper? It is loo thin. We don't believe that Van uses tho Express for wrapping purposes at all.

Miss FANNY B. PRICE will appear as Ogarita in tho thrilling drama of the "Sea of Ice," on Siturday evening. She will also appoar nt the matineo in the comedy of "Who Killed Cock Robin." The performance will conclude with the farce of "Gertrude." Admission to the matinee only twentyfivo cents.

A COUPLE of Terre Hauteans jiald a dollar apiece for a seat upon a steamer, Saturday night, to see the fireworks at St. Loui». The steamer took them five miles down the livtr, and then they wore able, by stapdingou tiptoe, to see the tops of a «-ouplo of rockets at their highest point. They prrtnouiued it cheap at half the money.

HENRY PUI-EDEN, aged 76 years, died this morning at bis resideuce on Fifteenth street. Dcceaaed was'ona of the early settlers of Terre Haute, having come here in 1830. lie followed gardening for a livelihood, aud was known to our citizens as a hard-work-ing, hon«st-hearted and true man. It was only a few months that be celebrated his golden wedding.

MB. DANIEL MILLER IS refitting J. R. Whlttaker's old stand on Fourth street, and intends moving in soon. He will al&o build another grocery somewhere in that part of town. If grocers are not ou the alert, Mr. Miller will monopolize tho whole business of the town. The importunate demands of his customers make it necessary that he establish a store in each ward.

EVERYBODY who hadn't gone to Chicago, St. Louis, or somewhere else, on Saturday night, was to be seen in the vicinity of Sixth and Ohio streets The boys were delighted witb the fireworks, of course, and dreamed of nothing else all night. Other folks were more or less pleased, according as they were less or more tired. Tbo display was all that the amount of money contributed would permit. j.

tothaCaqae.

On Saturday, while the boys were firing innumerable blank cartridges Into space, for national glorification, Jacob Altenberger, whose residence is on South Seventh, near Gnllck street, deliberately shot himself in the forehead, and pat an end to a sad career of intemperance. He was a cigar-maker by trade, and. a good workman, it is said, bnt liquor proved too strong for him, and he neglected his work, abased his family, and threatened his best friends. So dangerous did he become, his relatives had him arrested, and unable to give security for the preservation of the peace, he was committed to jail for a short time. On Saturday he was released, went home, and about noon deliberately shot himself in the head with a pistol. He fell dead where be stood. Mr. David Berger was pres~ ent in the room, but did not see the pistol in the bands of Altonberger. The Coroner was summoned, and after the usual Inquiries and testimony bad been taken, brought in a verdict in accordance with the facts above stated.

As MARCUS SCHEMEHL, the Wall street attorney and real estate agent, was returning from his residence, in the eastern part of the city,to his office, between 1 and 2 o'clock to-day, he met a man in the open space just west of the Vandalia depot, on Tenth street. Now, there is nothing remarkablo about Mr. S.'s mooting a man, but iu this case it was tbo peculiar actions of the individual he met that makes tho incident worth relating. Mr. Schoomohl wears a very gorgeous looking watch chain, and seeing this, the man who met bim inquired the time of day. Mr. S. pulled out his watcb, which happened to be a very dingy, common silver affair. The moment be saw it, and without waiting to be informed tho time of day, be remarked Bomethiog that rhymes witb ham, and walked oil', putting in his pocket as he weut a very formidable looking pistol. Mr. S. consldera, and we agree with him, that he certainly owes bis watch, perhaps his life, to the fact that he carries with him a watch too mean looking for any highway robber to busy himself about stealing.

Ileal Estate Transfer.

Tbo following aro the transfer of real estate reported by Grimes «fc Royse, Real Estate, Collecting and Insurance Agents, No. 2 South Fifth street, since last report:

John Broder to Allen B. Wilkenson, Interest In the E. A C. R. R. Co.'s subdivision, $300.

Tbomu Wkmtfill to JM.-M»»M, lot in Teel's subdivision for $550. Frod. A. ROBS to same, lot in Ross' and Donnellv's subdivision for $425.

Cbaancey Rose to Isaac T. Mills, lot in Rose's subdivision for $2,059.68. John W. Brewster to Caroline Bundy, lot in Gilbert Place for $1,200.

Hannah S. Drury to George F. Jenckes, 31 acres in Honey Creek township for $3,875.

Louis Duenweg to Eugene Duenweg, lot in Rose's addition for $1,750. H. C. Thompson to J. F. Gulick, lot in Gilbert place for $1,400.

As REFERENCE to the proceedings in the Mayor's Court shows, Mr. L. J. Schell was brought before His Honor, the Mayor, laRt Wednesday and bound over to appear Saturday, on the charge of attempting rape upon the person of Ettio Piper, day before yestorday. For several months past, Mr. Schell has held the position of flagman at the Third street crossing of the I. A St. L. Railroad. His age and good character, heretofore, both militate against the correctness of the rumor in relation to the affair. However, tho trial will not ocour until Saturday, and that will be plenty or time to give currency to a story,which at best is not a good thing for publication, and can well afford to remain hidden until something authoritative is known about-it.

REV. F. DONHAM, pastor of St. Stephen's Episcopal Cburob, will have tho pleasant charge of Messrs. Lewis and Robert Cox and John Hager for a trip to Europo. Thoy will leave here on the 15th ortbis month. He expects to place tho boys at college in Geneva, Switzerland, and they will possibly remain there far some years, in enjoyment of the delightful climate of the mountainous little Republic wbieb has been tho home of many great men, among them Ilibber, while he wrote his matchless history. While our city schools will miss theso boys, we know that "our loss is their eternal gain." Switzerland is a magnificent country, and tboy will receive tbe best instruction.

The Chiatx Bug. %i

It Is a littlo tbing. It boasts no strength or power. In color it is green. But it holds witbin ittfblf,when in multiplied numbers, a capacity to upset and dishearten, to destroy and consume, which laughs all ordinary forces to scoru. The chintz bug was fooled on the wheat. It ripened too rapidly. But it Is determined to make amends by a wholesale destruction, a clean sweep, of the corn, which wonld mako even the grasshoppers of the West stand ngtiast in admiring awe. Fields of ten, fifteen and twenty-five acres have leen already totally mined, in Illinois, and the season is hardly begun...,.,...,

'Squire Denehie was, last Monday, summoned by J. H. Bundy, living four miles south of towu. to hold an inquest over the body of Thomas Reed,colored, deceased. Tb« evidence as given waa as follows:

Mr. J. H. Bandy being sworn, upon bis oai says, deceased went out this morning and washed,tbe same as nflual, and in conversation spoke about riding tbe day before, and while talking fell oft tbe chair and expired immediately. Has not complained of being sick, but b«g seemed hearty and well. He was not in the habit of drinking.

Tbe jury rendered verdict of death from appoplexy.

THE GBAK6EBS.

Griad Bally of Ike Patroas of IIus* baaory at Hickory Grove, Edgar Craatj, 111. TO tbe Editors of tbe Evening Uasette:

Your correspondent left home by way of Charleston excursion, on tbe morning of the Fourth, to attend the great mass meeting of tbe Patrons of Husbandry at Hickory Grove, about ten miles northeast of Paris arrived at Dudley in due time, and there found a oonveyance to the grove.

When within about a mile of our deatination, a mule team which waa some distance behind us, became frightened, and attempted to run away, but did no harm except throwing a man out of the wagon, and dusting him considers* bly.

Arrived at tbe grove, and tbe exclamation, what a crowd what a crowd! was heard on every aide. There were twenty-three granges present. The following ts a list of the granges, and their respective numbers, as far as I could learn: From Edgar county, Pleasant Hill Grange No. 669, Elm Grange No. 1,045, Union Grange No. 891, Isabel Grange No. 672, Harmony Grange No. 805, East Oakland Grange No. 807, Blue Rid ire Grange No. 816, Conlogue Grange No. 8S0. The numbers of Kansas and Dudley granges, I could not learn. From Coles oonnty were Donlco Point and Berry granges. From Clark county was Rich wood Grange No. 1,057. Pleasant Hill Grange ia the oldest grange in Edgar county.

The Patrons formed into proceasioq at the edge of tbe grove, and beaded by tbe Sandford cornet' band, marched from thence to tbe stand. Miss Nan Hutton then performed a very appropriate* piece on tbe organ, assisted by Miss Nan Tate, Miss Sarah Hinds, Dr. McCormlc and Ray Rlngland. Tbe Declaration of Independence was then read by J. B. Sargent, in a very creditable manner.

Rev. Hawkins, of the Baptist Church, delivered an address on "Official Corruption, Middle Men," etc., after which the manager, A. B. Forsytho, dlsmlssod for dinner. Baskets were as plonty as candidatos at a county convention. One man brought a large wagon load of corn for gratuitous distribution among those who had brought no feed for their horses. At 1 o'clock the band called tbe assembly together, and Elder Har mon Gregg, of tbe Christian Church, deliveredon address of an hour and a quarter's length, followed by vocal and Instrumental music then several short addresses were made, and tbe Patron ode, "Plow Deep," was sung, all the Patrons foining in the chorus. A. B. Forsythe made the final address, and the assembly was dismissed.

It is estimated by competont judges that there were between 6,000 and 7,000 persons there on that day. This rally will give tbe Patrons of Edgar and adjoining counties great encouragement to push forward in tho work of the great reform. May aucocas attend their efforts. 13. D. S.

INSANITY.

A Crazy Man With a Musket. Owen Flaherty, a laborer who lives In the southeastern section of tho city, for some tiine past has been in such feeblo hoallh that he could not work. Within tho past few weeks the disease, whatever It may have bcou, has culminated In Insaulty. This has manifested itself in violent threats against his wife and son, who live with him. Yesterday afternoou ho deized a musket and threatened to run them through with tho bayonet attached to it. John, another BOU who doeB not live at home, beariug of this, camo to poll«?e head quarters and socured the services of Countable McCabe and policeman Vandever to make his arrest. They wont to tbe house, and at imminent risk being run through with a pitchfork which be was then flourishing around jabbing It into things generally, seized him and brought him to Esquire Denefa le's office. A jury of six men was then impaneled, to decide the question of his sanity. Proof was furnished that since his discharge from the army, at the close of the war, he has never been perfectly well, and from time to time has betrayed evidences of being iiisane. The verdict of tbe Jury was as follows:

State of Indiana, ex rel, John Flabttty, w.

Orron

JfinUorty. W"e, the

jury, find that Owen Flaherty is insane ana dangerous to the community if suffered to remain at large. E. O. Whiteman, foreman W. I). Butler, T. B. McBride, T. R. Oilman, Marcus ScboQmehl and Josiab York.

Flaherty was sent to jail in tho ovoning to await tbe final disposal of'his case this morning. Ho acted when taken to the jail, so mildly that the officers failed to lock him up securely. Tuesday they found he had, during the night, effected his escape. Ho was found, however, at bis house, in full possession, the family having lied upon hlB approach. This mornlug Esquires Denehie and Smith held an inquest ard decldod that be was insane and a proper subject for the asylum. They made out the proper papers, Dr. Young filling out the physician's certificate. He will be sent to the asylum this evening.

MYSTERY.

An Unkaowa Grave.

That "there is nothing hidden that slyill not be inade known" we usually admit. Tbe alarming mannor in which disclosures havo of late beon madej twitching tho cloak from hypocrisy, and making hidden and secret things tremble in their insecurity, would seem to verify it but we don't believe any one will ever know who tho man wss, or in what manner he came to his death, whose clay was found mixed with tbe sand in an old cellar, •this morning. AB some workmen were tearing down an old building, formerly occupied by Mr. Cunningham, tbe second-hand man, belonging to Mr. King, and situated on Fourth street, uortb «f Main, thoy discovered, under the floor, what seemed to bean old grave. Answering to tbe exact outlines of a grave on tbo sides the dirt was exceedingly hard, while in the center it was soft and sunken. Messrs.

Lockwood, Chapman, Roach and Anderson, together with a large crowd, assembled over the grave determined to chase this mystery to its lutking place. A purse was raised, and an expert digger, to the shovel born, was put to work. Ho threw out considerable sand, mixed with dark dirt,very soft, and witb it an old leather pocket book,' bot no bones. Nobody seems to be satisfied with the result.of tbe Investigation. Tbat equare seems to be a regular old charnel bouse, and from rovelations tbat bave been made here and when Cook's building was erected, thcrj must bo' among tbe unwritten annals of tbe past a tale of blood wbich would, if known, make tbe Benders tremble for their laorels in tbo slaughtering line. No living person ncd take these remarks, for tbe man who has occupied tbat grave died long before any man now living was

born-

THE law firm of Scott A Duy has been dissolved. Mr. Scott will move to au offico on the north side of Ohio, just west of Fourth street. Mr. Duy will retain bis present office. Tbe members of tbis firm have been together for about nine years, and it will be quits a change now ou tbe court docket to see separated names tbat bave so long been associated together in many of tbe most important- cases tbat have been tried during tbat time.

Grand Jurj.

The Graxd Jury adjourned Tuesday evening to meet again in regular session, on the first Monday in August They returned twenty-one indictments against different saloon keepers in the city for seltLig liquor without perinlto one for assault and battery, one for petit larceny, and four for grand lar ceuy.
