OLD SOL OS A STRIKE.

His First Stroke this Year and its Besnlts* During tbo intense heat of the past few days, when the mercury babbled and boiled at from 99 to 102 degrees, there has been much pleasant disappointment that there were not some victims to the sun's burning rays. However, last Thursday about 9o'clock the first of a aeries of sufferers, which we are apprehensive will be large before the season is through, was singled out. Mr. John Board, one of Terre Ilaute's sonior citizens, who lives in the north part of town, in the division called Sibley, while crossing Main street in front of T. J, Rupp's moat shop, fell insensible to the ground. He was taken within, and under the kind attention of Mr. Rupp, Charlie Adams and others, soon recovered. A slight bruise on the back of his head, and a certain dizzinoss, which for a time after a sun-stroke always remains, are the only injuries sustained.

OUR heart's best sympathies go out for the man who saves the pennies. Ilis rarity is only commensurate with his worth. We know a man who agrees with us exactly, on this point. He was commissioned to buy a ton pound ham for the family. His old reliable grocer asked him 1GX cents per pound for it. But he didn't know he might get it a little cheaper than that and it would not bo economy to pay more than It was worth. It would bo a ruthloss violation ol' tho lirst principles of his authorities, Mill, and Walker, and Wayland, did ho not buy where he could buy cheapest. lie determined ho would go to another part of the town aud test tho market. Only four glasses of soda and one or two of beer woro consumed to keep him intact while ho mado this torrid trip. The dealer did not come down, and so, on ho went, dolorminod to economize if it took all summer. About noon he drew up to a placo with his coat off, and perspiration streaming from every pore, with seventeen glasses ol cooling fluids on tho inside, and enough beat and steam effervescing from the outside to run a factory. Tho dealer compromised Tho ham was sold for 16 cents a pound. On the ten pouuds 5 cents had been saved, and our shrewd buying friend was happy.

Whipping Children.

To the Editors ol tlio livening Gazette: Tlioro aro certain parties residing on North Second street, who are evidently linn boliovers in Solomon's idea that to "sparo tho rod is to spoil the child," and tho manner in which they apply not only the rod, but ropes, leatbor thongs, otc., to tho tender backs of little three-year-olds, is quite sufficient to satisfy the most fastidious follower of tho wise old propriotor of sevon hundred wives and three hundred concubinos. This slato of allairs is so notorious that tbo eye or oar may bo regaled at all hours by tho descent of the brutal blows, and tho shrieks of the little sufferers, and to a person of a nervous and sympathetic dispel sition, it is intolerable. Can't thoro bo somo method adopted to provent cruelty to children? Can thero not bo a Bergb found, who will do as much for those little results of lust and victims of cruolty (who are in this world through no fault of thoir own) as tho Now York gentlemen has done lor tho moro fortunato inferior animals

Would it not bo a good plan for tho ministers to take up tho c.uise of these Iittlo heathens, and try to maintain their rights by preaching a low practical sermons on the ethics of the household I pause for a reply.

Tho Captain is Clerk of the United States Court of the District of Arkansas, and was the only one of tho lot who wont through the investigation without a blemish, till tho other ollleors, including the Judge, being requested to resign. During the late unpleasantness, ho commanded Company A. of the old Eleventh Illinois, and no bravor man ever carried a United States musket. At the battle of Fort Donaldson, ho was severely wounded, and walked upon crutches for five years, and although yet a young mm, his hair is almost entirely white, caused by his sufferings while undergoing surgical treatment. He informs us that his family will spend tho summer in this city, and we aro in hopes that he will be induced to return hero and make it his home.—[Journal.

THE (trading, graveling and lowering of East Main street, irom Eleventh to Twenty-Third street, is about completed. Abbott and Stowart are the contractors. The property holders will soon have to pay up to the tnue of $1.75 a foot. ho job is well'done, although it will strike some people as strange that gravel should be screened and then have dirt laid on it. But the soundest principles sustain the plan. Screening tho gravel allows it to pack in a manner .vliich, if sand were mixed with it, it could not do. Tho thin coating of dirt on top renders the street roady immediately for use with none of the old-time troubles in forciug the people, by logs and trees on the sides, to drive over the rough cobblestones.

C. LUTZ is the happy possessor of an equino which can run away in an entirely fashionable and satisfactory manner. Taking fright last Thursday, it ran down LaFayetto street, but a buck-board happening to be turning in front of Ira Grover's drug store, both that and all tho adjoining streets and alleys were successfully blocked up with a wheel shaft or body, so that the race was brought to a sudden finale. Not, however, before it came near killing a littlo girl, in the employ of Mr. Heinig, who was standing on tho sidowalk. But for the timely crack of a black-snako whip in the hand of Mr. Sullivan, turning them aside, she would have been run over.

A BURGLAR, last week, attempted to effect an entrance to tlio residence of Mr. McKotinan, on North Sixth street, but was prevented by the wakefulness of tho fAmily.

[Query: If this burglar had garrotod McKennan, would be have been a "throttle manipulator," according to the meaning of the Express.—Ei. UAZETTJB.]

This Useful Agent In Thousand Industries, Breaks Its Bounds.

Sad and Unavoidable Deatli of William Fisher.

Trite as may be the saying that "in the midst of life we are in death," yet it frequently forces itself most unpleasantly upon us when one of our number is taken off without warning, in the full enjoyment of manly lile and vigor. Last Thursday the Eagle Iron Works, owned by Mr. ^T. A. Parker, under a -press of business, were a scene of active, happy Jndustry. In the absence of tbo engineer, Mr. Fisher, whose place was usually at the large lathe, waa running the engine. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. S. Wyeth, whose history has been identified with that of the establishment for years, while coming down stairs from the planning room, heard a heavy thnd. The noise was not as loud as an ordinary explosion, and seeing the steam pipe shake, he thought the smoke stack had fc^ien down. The terrible reality swiftly came to him, as to all the emplyees of tho works, who hastened to the rescue. He opened the door of the engine room, which £ad been violently closed by the out-rush-ing vapor, and tbere, crawling on the hot ashes, and terribly burned by the hot steam, some of which he of neces sity inhaled, was seen Mr. William

Fisher, the one victim ol this unfortunate disaster. Mr. Fisher was a man of great strength of will, and regaining his feet, so terribly disabled, he rushed into the blacksmith shop and placed bimsolf in the tub for cooling red-hot Iron. He was Boon wrapped up and taken to tho Wabash Hotel, where ho boarded, and Dr. Young was sum moned to his rolief. For some time hopes were entertained of his recover but at a quartor past twelve this brave, resolute man whom no human agency could save from the grave into which he had been so violently thrust, breathed his last. He was this morning taken to the residence of his sister, Mrs. Davis, on South Fifth streot. He will be interred this afternoon. Deceased has one brother, Charles, in this city, and one in California, from whom for years he has not. beard, From an acquaintance with Mr. Fisher, running through several years, while in Ihe same business, we remember him as a man of sterling worth, thoroughly proficient in his profession. Bringing, as he did, both intelligence, rare carefulness aud industry to bis calling, tho sad accident which causod his death could not have been from any avoidable neglect on his part.

OTHER INCIDENTS.

Tho reports in the morning papors that the stand pipe burst, and that one of the boilers was an old ono, aro essentially faulty Inaccuracy. Both boilers having been in use but a year, were perfectly sound. The explosion occurred at one of tho joints of the large boiler, and not in the stand pipe. As the gauge indicated plenty of water, tho only theory upon which tho accident cau be explained, is that in cleaning the boilers, which was done a short time ago, one small place, very hard to reach, was overlooked, In this point had collected a mud-sill which, preventing Iree passage, the generated steam found no exit but in destruction. Mr. John Dobbs and Mr. Estorbrook narrowly escaped death and stand to day living believers that it is "far better to be lucky than to be rich." Mr. Esterbrook, foreman of the blacksmith shop, was passing from liio room to the front, to repair renpci, aud Mi. DoOUS Was going to tho blacksmith shop. They met and passed each other in the engine room in front of the two boilers, just when the pent-up forces within were meditating ruin, and each had hardly closed the door when the steam burst forth. Mr. Parker, being associated with Mr. damage, amounting'foieveral^undMs'fi dollars, soon repaired, and the worlds will resume operations on Monday.

SIR WALTER SCOTT, in his tnagnificent palace at Abbotsford, on the banks of tho Tweed, was wont to collect relics of the days of Knights, and of heraldry. Upon the walls burnished shiolds Hashed upon the floor a radiant light, answering to the eyes of his greyhound Laida. Knives and spears were tastefully arranged, giving to his apartment, while ho tossed ofl the sheets of Waverly, the martial air of an old armory. Dr. Young, of this place, has something of the antiquarian tastes, characteristic of Scott. In his office, upon a clandestine trip this morning, we noticed a red leather shield, upon which was this inscription: "Comanche Shield, Taken from tho dead body of a Comanche

Indian, killed In an engagement by a body of II. S. troops commands! by E. W. W. Read, in 18o7." Upon another little instrument designed for the e^t of life from human form divine, was this "Arrow, shot by a Sioux Indian (mounted,) a distance of 50 yards, entered the chest, of a herdsman, (also mounted) belonging to the command ot

O. Wood—lemoved by him at the time.'' We don't know whether this item is exactly frosh, in fact, we fear that had it been meat if. would have putfified, but lot it go.

Moonlight Mechanics on a Tur. Finding out what robberies have been efleeted or attempted during the "stilly hours of the eve," by the "manipulators" of fancy tools, has become as much a part of the reporter's duties as were ever railroad or river items. The burglars raided tho north end nig^t before last. They first entered tho work shop of Pence & Waddell, whero they secured about $75 worth of carpenter's tools. They then entered the stable of James Disbon, the bill poster, but that gentleman was using his horse and wagon to post bills, and they secured nothing. They then passed within the barn of Mr. Taylor, but he had luckily taken his' tool chest to the house, early in the evening, so they contented themselves with scattering his hay (grangers) about the alley.

AN amusing incident occurred on Third street, near the Henderson House, recently, in which an immense dog and a gardeu hose were the chief participants. The hose was directed upon the dog while he was pursuing the even tenor of bis way unmindful of the joys and sorrows which beset his kind. He instantly turned and attacked the stream of water. He went for it, he bit it through and through, be mounted it, he descended, be climbed up it one side and down the other, he shook it, be tackled it fore aud aft right dogfully, to the intense delight of a crowd of lookers on, but all to no purpose. He only desisted when he had taken sufficient water aboard to proclude all possibility of tbo hydrophobia for the next six weeks. He then slunk away, looking as completely wbipped as a dog knows bow.

W. B. WARREN, last season, on piece of ground in his garden, thirty, by forty feet in size, raised enough potatoes to supply bis family during the summer, and in the fall dug out just twelve bushels. At this rate on a ten acre patch he would raise enough potatoes to Bupply the State ol Indiana.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT.

A Liltle Child Ban Orer bat Not Killed!

A Careless Drlvw.

Saturday A. M., about 11 o'clock, as a little son of Mr. Maban, the restaurant keeper, was crossing" Fourth street, at the corner of the Opera House, a heavy country wagon ran the lad down, and before the driver could stop his teaic,' the little fellow was under the wheels. The first and severest stroke he received was from the horse's lioof. The back of the bead was the only part actually cut. Here was a gash six inches in length. His face was much bruised, but with all this, strange to say, he was not insensible. Mr. Mahan arrived on the spot immediately, and carried bis son to the office of Dr. Moore, on Main street, where the dressing of his wounds was begun at once. The Doctor informs us that the cut in the head is not serious, and that the boy will recover. For a while the little fellow was entirely crazed by the intense pain he suffered, striking and biting all who came within his reach.

However, he is only 4 years of age, and Dr. Moore says he behaved like a soldier. The first cause of the accident seems to have been Mr. Lo, the Indian, wbo'bad taken a stand upon the corner of Main and Fourth streets. Here with his infernal noise ho distracted the attention of passers. Tho driver, whose name we did not learn, had no eyes or ears for anything except the Indian, and driving thus carelessly along, ran upon tho child as narrated above. Al though it is truo that a driver should be careful, it is equally certain that children of 4 years of age have no business upon the crowded streets. This is tho second child run over in a few months.

Railroad Items.

From the Indiunapolis Journal. The St. Louis and Pacific Railroad Company are conducting the forestry business on a magnificent scale. Last year they planted over four millions of trees, of which less than three per cent, have failed, and the rest are doing finely. Encouraged by this success, the farmers along the line of tbo road are devoting much time to tree planting.

Tho pressing demand for cheap transportation and greater economy in operating railroads is directing public attention more than ever to the practicability of such a change in the construction of rolling stock, and particularly freight cars, as will diminish the present enormous ratio of dead weight. It is quite clear that the model or standard car is yot to be produced that will combine the elements of strength, durability, carrying capacity, and economy ot construction, in such a way as to preclude the possibility ol further improvement.

But few roads in the State have passed through the panicky times so nicely as the Evansville A Crawfordsville the employes have been paid with wonderful punctuality. The road has dono a fair passenger and a heavy freight business for a road of its length for years past, and was well prepared lor panics. It has always been managed oy honest and energetic officials, which has much to do with placing it as a model atnong the railroads of the West, and like its main connection, the Vandalia line, its road bed is kept in fine condition, and its equipments are of the West.

The Dead Alive Agniu.

It will be remembered that some two weeks since, considerable surprise and much anxiety on the part of friends,was created by the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Lionel E. Ilumrill, Ifrom this city. He had come over from Greenfield, where he is editor of the Greenfield News, and Postmaster, to visit his ancle, S. S. Greenwood, millwright. At 12:30 on the morning nf t.h« 9.9J nf T.,»»», K. o«.~i tou for the Union Depot to take the night train for home. From that time nothing was heard of him. His brother came to the city and bunted for bim, but unsuccessfully. Yesterday, he turned up In this city, all right, in a physical point of view. The story that he tells is, that he was

aTftTTe mofayy^ ®150' ever since that time be has been tracking the thief to recover his wealth, which ho has not yet been able to do. We give this story as told to us, and will not vouch for its thickness or thinness.

FROM the Expross we learn that last Saturday night, about 11 o'clock, a deaf and dumb young lady, sister of Mrs. Isaao Mills, whose husband is an E. fe C. bridge carpenter, living on North Eighth street, went up stairs for some purpose. Just as she opened tho door to one of the rooms, a man sprang out and attempted to grasp her head, but she sprang back, ran down stairs, and soon the alarm was given, but when assistance arrived the fellow was gone. He was undoubtedly a burglar, and had crawled in from tho porch. He was frightened at the approach of the girl, and probably thought to provent her from raising an ftlarm.

Tho bouse of a family named Johnson, living near, was prospected by a lot of suspicious looking fellows, but no attempt was actually made.

Slight efforts were made to get in other houses, but in nearly every cafce went no farther than an attempt to wrench off a shutter.

H. KIRMSE, of the Vandalia car shop, in getting upon train No. 8, on Wed nesday night, at the Union Depot, Indianapolis, was surrounded by a gang of highwaymen which infests that localiity, and robbed of bis pocket-book, containing $20 in money and valuable papers. This robbery of travelers is a matter of daily occurence, and the iuferenco is, that the police force of Indianapolis is totally inadequate for the prevention of these outrages, or that it is in collusion with the thieves. We advise our citizens visiting or passing through Indianapolis, to go armed, as the travelers in stage coaches were wont to do in the time of .Dick Turbin and Jack Shepherd, and to be on the '•quirive" for these outlaws.

THE result of the Sohell-Piper case, In the Mayor's Court, on Saturday afternoon, was to bind the defendant over to appear before the Criminal Conrl. Bail was fixed at $500. The evidence was scattering and doubtful. A feature of tho case was a discussion between Attorney J. P. Baird.forthe defense, and Hon. Wm. Eggleston, upon what was the meauing of the law phrase res gestae, Baird expressing doubts whether Eggleaton knew wbat it moaut. Attorney Lamb, for the prosecution, cut the argument ot Wm. Eggleston short, by declaring that he had not come there to be lored, meaning thereby that Mr. E. had net been employed in the i-ase, and might bold bis peace. He held.

DEMOCRACY.

Sights and Sounds at the Capita!.

IT PKTWPTRTNQ PATRIOTS.

The VI50 Delegation.

Editorial Correspondence.

INDIANAPOLIS,July14.—Indianapolis abounds with evidences of a great popular convention. Perspiring patriots fill the corridors of every hotel, hobnob around every bar, march thence by platoons through the sidewalks, and hold down the paving stones -on every corner. There is no mistaking their mission. No common affair of private business has brought them here. The profuseneas of the perspiration precludes any notion of that kind. Nothing but the business ot the whole people ol the gel-lorious State of Indiana resting upon their shoulders,could cause such earnestness or bear down so oppressively upon them, as to occasion such frequent visits to the reviving bar. Of course different temperaments bear the cares of State differently. It is observable that that chosen company, whose friends have suggested their names in connection with different officers as absolutely necessary to the consummation of the great Democratic reform, are especially oppressed. Whomsoever tbey meet to bim they unburden their souls while they clutch his button-hole. Occasionally, and this is especially noticeable among the country delegates, a restless soul is found, who came to see the sights and hear the sounds of the Capital City as well as to save his country. These grow impatient under the restraints of button-holing sometimes, and can often be soen stealing out quietly to listen to the dulcot strains of the hand organ, and munch the pleasant peanut, or to look at the comet through a huge piece of stove pipe, which some enterprising astronomer has mounted on Washington street and labelled a telescope. Such derelictions of duty by patriotic delegates are,in a measure,excusable,when it is remembered that hand organs and telescopes, and peanuts, are, so to speak, birds in the hand to them, while the regenerating of the State and salvation of the country partakes of the nature of the uncertain birds in the bush. Besides with from five to fifteen prospective saviors for every office, it must be allowed that their appointed task of choosing this day whom they will hurrah for and vote in favor of, is somewhat complicated, and calls for a little rest to them.

THE VIGO DELEGATION

is here in force, and a forcible delegation it is, too. Go where you will, in hotel or bar-room, or on the street, wherever delegates most do congregate, and there where two or three are gathered together in the name of Democracy, you will find a Vigoite in their midst. And this we have particularly noticed, viz: That of every knot of patriots roving this country, some son of "Vigo is their speaker. Marion may treat, and Sullivan may assist in the drinking, but it

Yigo that giveth

cense in the way

the in They are as they

ot

talk

the limberest tongued, are the most ubiquitous, tbo most pop ular, influential and the handsomest delegates in the field.

Apparently tho whole Democratic party of Vigo is here. In cousidora tion of the suggestive warmth of the weather, wo might be reduced to modi fy this statement, but we will go no larther than to say that it is certain that if they were all to violate the Bax ter bill to Buch an extent as to be un able to get home in time for the elec. tion, that the Republicans would carry the county by a good round majority Col. Dowling is here, with a very sus picious looking manuscript, and Gen Hanna, Judges Long, Scott and Patter son, antr prospective" Congressmen Hudson and Hollinger, and those two Legislators of the future, Gilbert and Havens, and Patrick Shannon, prov ing beyond peradveuture the lightness -"Mrduoois and the possibility of fleshy man being auie tu self up into pieces, as were, and be in twenty places at once, and talk to twenty persons in each place at one and the'same time. B. F, Clark is hero, and Andy Grimes, Simon Hirscb, and Councilman Seeburger, and Tom Snapp, and— well, copy the poll books if you have space and the type hold out. Some few Republicans have come over, as sort of lookers on in Venice, among whom we may men tiou Col. J. P. Baird, O. J. Smith Sheriff Hull, and Prosecutor Tennant of prospectively proven fragrant record.

Tho hotels are, of course, crowdod how crowded can be imagined when it is understood that Democratic candl date for Recordor Pritchard states, as positive fact, that he intends passing the night at the Mason House, on single bed, between Tom Snapp and L, Seeburger. And Pritchanf, too hope ful youth, came here from tossing at home on a double bed, afflicted—not the bed—with the colic. If this, then is the way the sick are treated, where scarcely shall the well appear?

Matters and things are all beiDg fixed up this evening. All the committees have been appointed, and are holding meetings to-night, so that when the convention assembles tomorrow, it will move along with the regularity of clock-work in its mission of adopting the various reports and acting upon the various suggestions of the different committees. Each county has chosen a chairman to cast its votes, and when the voting once begins, tbere won't be any fool isbness about it.

Conflicting rumors fill the air about the resolutions, but you will know the complete result when thk reaches you, so that speculations upon the subject would be idle. All the signs of the times, however, indicate that the contest throughout the State will turn upon the Baxter bill, whatever the remaining resolutions may be. The Republicans' feeble approval of one provision of the Bixffer Wll will betaken as an unqualified indorsement of the whole bill, and the mild denun ciation of some of its worst provisions in tho platform of to-morrow will be construed into an wholesale condemnation of the bill. Whisky, how to regulate the traffic in it, tbat is tho great question tbat will divide the good people of Indiana into opposing, and often hostile political campp, this fall. The candidates for the Legislature will have to make several speeches apiece before the exact dividing line of opinion can be lound.

Perhaps some radical ground may be takeu on the financial question,looking towards and smelling of repudiation and an inflated currency. Democracy occasionally is guilty of absurdities and abortions which lead one to believe tbat the last two syllables of the name have a very appropriate double meaning. And there are here just now some of those old Democratic pirates, who believed in and fought for slavery, opposed the war for the Union, wanted to pay the soldiers in gold when the war was at its height, and want to pay everything in greenbacks, now tbat peace has made it possible to pay gold and taken away tbe only justification, military necessity, for ever making a forced greenback loan. These pirates are here, bot and bungry. These of thedi who were Congressmen have spent their back pay, and are now clamorous for purity and reform. Let as pray.

INFAIfTICDE.

The Body Concealed In a Vault. Last Sunday afternoon at about 4 o'clock, the partially decomposed body of an infant was found in a privy vault upon the premises owned by Michael Lamb and occupied ^y Mrs. Ella Fanen, and situated upon the corner of First and Park street?. The discovery was made by Sarah Fanen, a girl of about 14 years of age, and the daughter ol Mrs. nen. Tbe police were summoped immediately and subsequently the Coroner. The child was taken out and washed. A piece of black clotb was found twisted about the child's neck in such away as to make it evident that it was strangled to death before being thrown in the vault.

An inquest was held upon the body this morning, by Coroner Mull, and a number of wituesses living in tbat neighborhood were examined, but no information was elicited of any importance. Tbo jury brought in a verdict that the child came to its death by parties unknown to them. The body was turned over to Mr. Katzenbach undertaker, for immediate burial. Dr. Mull says that the child was but a £pw days old, and mnst have been in the vault from seven to ten days when discovered.

SMASH.

A Countryman's Horse and Waeon, a Lamp-Post, a Beer Keg, and the Said Countryman's Head

Flj

Towards Each other.

With a Velocity at Though Drawn by tlpllcd Gravitation, and Snap with

A Gorman named Qeorge Readinger, from Seeburger's farm, was, last Saturday, at about 2% o'clock, thrown violently from bis wagon, on the corner of Ninth and Eigle streets. He does not know at what his horse scared, for as he fell, a beer keg struck bim in tbe head, making an ugly gash on his right ear, and rendoriug bim perftctly insensible for fully fifteen minutes. The lamp-post and tbe horse were the only things which escaped uainjured. The man was so badly scared that upon his retovery he forgot all the German and English he ever knew, and spoke in a mauner so unintell ible that we could gloan nothing from him except that he "visbed his wagon vasn't proke."

Weather Prognostications. For east Terro Hauto and the secluded vales of Bagdad—warm weather interspersed with heat, and elovated temperature. If the nail breaks, look out for a falling barometer.

For south Terre Haute and its classic shades, intonso boat of unvaried hotnoss, and not even a dollar to raise tbe wind with. If it looks like rain, carry the barometer upon the bouse top, and the mercury will certainly rise.

For north Terre Haute aud its sequestrial nooks, indications of snow —next winter heat so great that an icemau reaches 98° without melting. If rain comes up after dinner, stone tho dog that hangs around the gate and it will clear off, (the dog.)

For west Terre Haute and Maxville, extended warmth—one mile heat to M. High winds—on the Opera House much wind—around the court house. A terrible fall ot rain and beer during the day—succecded by a suddouTiso of the barometer and a lato dinner.

Throughout the city, and during tho entire day, tho thermometer will stand —wherever you choose to put it.

MR. JACOB FISHER rejoices in the possession of a lucky star. Some days since he went into the drug store of Mr. J. Baur, and upon wishing to pay for an article thero purchased, ho dis covered that his pocket book .was gone, What was worse, be did not remember by which way he bad come, and seemed as if some "unseen disaster, following fast and following had indeed overtaken him." About an hour afterward, riding with friend on Fifth street, the conversation reverted to the loss, when looking down in the sand the identical pocket-book was found .j :n«tn "undisturbed by the obscene turmoil which rages around it." Dozens of wagots had passed around' and near it, but not over it, so as to injure. As it contained $175, mostly Uncle Sam's, and shin plasters, its recovery was worth re joicing over.

Criminal Court.

The State of Indiana vs. Samuol Chester for petit larCeny. Prosecutor Tennant for tbe State. Hon. Wm. Eggleston for tbe defense. Short argu ments by tho counsel. After a few minutes' retirement, the jury brought in their verdict as follows

We, tbe jury, find the defendant guilty of petit larccny, and fix his fine at the sum of one cent and a#Bess his punishment at imprisonment in the State prison for one year, and that he be disfranchised and rendered incapable of holding any office of trust and profit for ono year. ALEX. COOPER,

More Burglars.

About 1 o'clock, Wednesday A.M, an attempt was made to enter tbe house of T.W.Howard, tobacconist, on South Fifth street, between Walnut and Poplar. Mrs. Howard was awakened by tbe noise, and bearing somo ono at the door, thought it was tbe boy coming in late. She struck a light and tbe man left. This morning, a pair of shoes and stockings and a pistol were found upon the pavement, opposite the bouse.

Sunlight Mechanics.

Last Saturday some enterprising individual of the light-fingered persua slon entered tbo stable of Patrick Shannon, on South Fifth street, with felonious intent, and took tbenco a handsome Bingle harness. No trace of the thief has yet been discovered. The theft was committed in broad daylight, and was thus one of the coolest performances that has happened this hot season.

FROM the Journal we learn tbat night IK fore last a burglar attempted an entrance into tbe residence ol Mr. Kimble, on North Eighth street. He had gotten partly into tho window, when Mrs. Kimble was awakened and was badly frigbtened. At last she mustered courage enough to scream and awaken her husband, and the burglar fled. He secured nothing.

IJONO WAH is again in trouble. Some liiKh 'Melican man hitum on headce." Tbat is all tbe information we could get from pi^-tail himself, but from otber sources we gathered, that several unknown men entered Hong Wah's laundry and abused him with tongues and fists. At la.st accounts. Hong was up town hunting a "lawee."

WM. FUHR is erecting a handsome two-story brick on the cornor of Second and Wilson. It has two store rooms, which will be used for the dual parpose of grocery aud feed store. In the present dearth tf new buildings brick and mortar strike one with feelings of pleasure akia to those which the lonely Arab enjoys when be meets ac oasis iu the dreary waste of sands.

THE woman in Kockvillo who took, on tbe 4th .of July, with suicidal intent, three drams of oxalic acid has recovered. So uiucb for the stomach pump. One dram of thia acid, we are informed, should it remain within, is capable of destroying a regiment ot horses.
