OUR people will perhaps remember that about one ear ago, two meii by the" name of Major Alvord and Dunn came here from Indianapolis to hold temperance meetings, but'owing to the excitement prevailing at the time, caused by the big strike &c., they did not succeed in enlisting *he minds of our people iu the subject'of temperance to any great uxtent. We had entirely lost the run of the Major, until we were shown a temperance paper published at Ccshccton. Ohio,called the National' Blue Ribbon Banner, with the name of Major Alvord as editor.

NATURE h*B provided a most potent specific for diseases of the skin, rheumatism'and gout, viz: Sulphur. That admirable remedial agent is made available at an indefinitely less cost than formerly, in consequence of the introduction of GLENN'S SULPHUR SOAP. Sulphur Haths are expensive, so are visits to Sulphur Springs, but at a cost of sixty cents, the price of the above article per box, containing three cakes, preciselv the ynme curaiive results can be affected as Sulphur bathing accomplishes. GLENN'S SULPHUR SOAP like\vi.»e heals bruUi, fcores, ana all abrasions of the *kin, whitens and soliens as well as purifies it. The ladies prefer it to auy cosmetic, not ftniy because it is a more effective complexional beautifier, but also because it is eminently conducive to health, which cosmetics are not. It is a capital disinfectant of clothing contaminated with oisease, and its timely use prevents malacouunuuicable by contact. It is far prcferable to any salve or ointment for ihe cure of affections of the skin, being i.an:.iteiy more effective and cleanly.

The officers here have beftin working the case up, and so Saturday night, at 7 o'clock, Marshal Buckingham, Deputy Vandever and Lt.

But i-.».not discouraged thev started 'Out p.gain on Sunday morning at 4 o'clock. They proceeded, north to the Gxi1 Bluff coal mine, where Kiey-arrested a! man by the name ol John Smith who works at" the mine. Wheii arrested he was at work on the "dump*' and freely acknowledged to the officers that he had hit Foley with no intent to kill, but simply to keep him away from his house. He showed them the rail that he had -hit„ him v?it,h3£Ot) the way to town they found the coat and vest of the murdered man, Foley, in the brush. He (Foley) had left them there, as he had traded, or rather changed clothes with some person. Smith has maintained a good Character among his neighbors ana was considered ''wfll tp dot" When arrested he hid $249 in money and a $500. note. Thii was his own .noney, and as he is getting $60 a month in the coal mine, to have sttCft-a sum as that, seems nothing unusual.

LETTER FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRES PONDENT OF THE GAZETTE. To the Jiditor of the GAZETTE:

French Lick, Aug. 17,1S7S.

I have ventured this communication, knowing how largely your valuable pa per has contributed to the enjoyment ot the habitues of the French Lick Springs, and how eagerly they grasp your paper, admitting of no delay, until the eye has traced each col umn. And it perchance there be a personal how brightly they smile to think they are not forgotten. The GAZETTE has made many new and valued friends, as it passed from hand to hand, conveying all the news of the day to the health seekers at these springs.

Among the numerous persons visiting here, I hope I will not be considered as making an invidious distinction if memory fails to make mention of only a few of Ihe many deserving ones, who have added to the pleasure of our stay here. First I will mention Mr. and Mrs. Mc.Cartv, of St. Louis. Mr. Mc.. is a very affable gentleman, Mrs. McCarty is a pcrfect lady, as unassuming as she is re-*-fined. She has made a host of friends, among whom are the undersigned Her name will evtr be associated in our mem orv with the reminiscience of Mark Twain's courtship. I know it.

Miss Doolittle, is an artist of great merit. We shall always remember her fine sketch of "Quality Point," and its occupants. We know of one heart made doubly glad through the kindness of the brave and generous Capt. Ould's presentation of the above sketch. Beware of the vidders, Captain.

Miss May McMacken is a young lady much esteemed for her wit and beauty. She has been a great sufferer, but the springs have done wonders for her, and it is to be hoped a certain cure is in the near future.

Mr. and Mrs. Bennett of Louisville, with their two charming and accomplished little daughter, have added greatly to the pleasures ot all.

Mr. and Mrs. Larkin nee Larkin and Newt. M. Wilson contributed greatly (in the capacity of bride and groom) to the jollity of the occasion. May they live lone and prosperous.

To Col. Mulberry Sell-ers and Jake Ley man arc we indebted tor our knowledge of 66. Boys you can't fool the ladies.

Louisville ha9 quite a large representation here among the number Mr. Henry Kohnhorst. Especially is society her doub indebted for his untiring effort in adding to the enjoyment of others.

Among the many departures for home to-day are. E. R. Wright, H.E. Shield?. Peter Kaufman, Thos. Royse, Dr. & Mrs. Long, all of Terre Haute. Mrs. Jarvis (our cousin Emma) and Mis Stella Soeper, of Galoa III., Miss Ida Moudy, ofGreencastle. Of the ladies we must say Mrs. DiV Long has her host of fiiends won by her uniform kindness to all.'

Mrs. Jarvis is a lad of rare culture, a most charming and interesting conversationalist, a mirth-loving, jolly, young widow, possessed of both grace and beauty. Many were the gallants she led to drintv at the Jan-is rheumatic spring. Indeed, it was surprising to see how many were suddenly afflicted with rheumatics, which generally resulted in palpitation of the heart. May she ever grow Oufa's, while faithfully she clings to her rights.

Miss Stella Soeper, a beautitul young lady very modest and unassuring. but very interesting upon a closer acquaintance, lives in great hope of being at no distant day, a first cousin to the springs. How is it Miss Stella?

Miss Ida Moudy, of Greencastle, is a young lady of great beauty and culture the embodiment of all that is loveable in woman full of life and jollity the queen of the ball room never still always flitting here and there light hearted and happy. Life to.her is all sunshine and happiness. May it ever be thus. Those happy blishfujl days. May she see more of th«m.

Messrs Wright, Kaufman an dShields partly redeemed themselves from the just criticism, past sed upon them by the Sentinal correspondent. Mr. Shields has occasion to regret that Greencastle Junction was not one hundred and more miles aw ay. '"Is that not so conductor. The many friends whose eyes shall read these lines believe me ever your fathful and devoted. i«K'f Do—C—Do.

IS SHE INSANE?

That is becoming a frequent inquiry among our old residents, about a woman whose husband died some months ago. Many of those best acquainted with her and all the circumstances of the case, fretly express their opinion that she is, and that some one, should see to it. Certainly her conduct always, very strange, has of late become so outrageous as to show that her mind is not sound. For several days until late at night she has been a conspicuous object on cur streets assailing several well known citizens with biliingsgate. For the 6ake of those little children, who are positively known to be locked up in an upstairs room for whole days with no food, some one should interfere in the. matter out of humanity to them, and benefit to the woman. There is a reality in this case, stranger than any of Charles Reade's fictions.

A Motion to Quash nient.

til* br

JFrom Wc'dnesday'ii Daily

The case of the State vs. Charles Frosl. indicted for gambling, came up in the Criminal court this morning, upon a tnotion to qua-h. The ind'etment is founded on the following section of the statute of 1S52. '•Any person who s'lall be the keeper of any gaming apparatus, tor the purpose of winning or gaining any article of value, or who shall get his livelihood by gaming, or who shall be wandering about from place to place in the habit, or practice of gambling, shall be deemed a professional gambler, and, upon conviction, shall be imprisoned in the state prison, for not less than one, or more than five years, and be disfranchised for any determinate period, dr may be imprisoned in the county jail not less than three, or more than six months, etc,

The defense insists that the above section, which legislate upon professional gambling, was repealed by the law of 1S77. which provides as follows: "Any male or female person who shall be the keeper, proprietor or exhibitor of any gambling table or device or gambler's impliments, or who shall be an assistant or attendant on any gaming table or apparatus, or in any gambling house, shall bs deemed a gambler." "Any person, who. for the purpose of gaming with cards or otherwise, traveis about from place to place, or shall frequent any place where gambling is permitted, shall be deemed a professional gambler."

Section fixes the penalty at a fine of not less than $25 or more than .$100. In support of their position, the counsel for the defense insist that the legislature had in view the laws as they existed at the time of the passage of the law of 1877, the whole matter was before them, and that it was within their province to judge that professional gambling should be punished by fine instead of imprisonment, and that this they might do as a matter of public policy, for in this way persons guilty of such crimes will be brought to punishment. They insisted that it is a fact that while the statute of 1S52 has existed during a period of 26 or 27 years, there have been very few prosecutions unJer it that it has been said by courts frequently that the legislature is the soje judge as to the expediency of unishing such vices that in some of the states the legislature have continued to increase the penalty for professional gambling, and that instead of lessening the evil it increased that when the penalties have been reduced, prosecutions were had more successfully. r,

The state insist that astlie words "who shall get his livelihood," contained in the act of 1S52, are not specifically, mentioned in the act ot 1S77 the former act, i*,* therefore, not repeated, and that while a man who may be the owner, exhibitor or keeper of any gaming apparatus for the purpose of winning or gaining money, etc., or one who may be found wandering about from place to place, in the habit or practice of gambling, cannot be punished except by, fine, yet one who gets his livelihood by gaming is still subject to the felony act of 1852, the violation of which is punishable by imprisonment. "pi?

Arguments were made this morning by Prof. McNut for the state, and Judge Carlton and A. B. Felsenthal, Esq., for the defense. The defense is represented by Davis & Davis, Carlton & Lamb and Felsenthal and the prosecution by Allen. Mack & Davis, McNutt, Dunnigan & Stimpson, and Prosecutor A J. Kellv.

The case is attracting considerable attention. There are several others of the same nature.

TERRE HAUTE NOTIONALS. JiflK'JJ"1',1*.

What a Special Ccrrespondent of the Indianapolis Journal Says About Their Picnic at Lockport.,

Special Dispatch to the. Indianapolis JouriW. iii "ferre ftaute, August 15,1S7S,

For several weeks past the Notional Greenback Labor party of this City and vicinity have been advertising for a grand mass-meeting, a mammoth Notional picnic, 4 flrfty of all the friends of that visionary pa% ty, and have been making great efforts to make it a 9Ucoe68, that rhould demonstrate the gTflfet (supposed) strength and popularity of the parly. It was to be held in a grove about ten miles south of here on the Cincinnati railroad. A special train was engaged, also a brass band, stands built for speaking and dancing, also numerous refreshment stands, etc., and a galaxy of the most brilliant shining lights »nd high priests of the Notional clique of this section were announced in double leads to be on hand to address the expected, great gathering. Thursday was the day set, and at an early hour quite a number of our citizens assembled at the depot to sec the great mass of Notionals that wern to gather their forces and show the public who and what they were. The brass band arrived and played awhile, the train waited, but yet ao crowd, and finally, after delaying an hour over the specified time?, it left with about two hundred persons on board, itnd thirty kegs ofbeer. Arriving at the ground the crowd soon increased to about three hundred persons the most there was present the beer was soon flowing and its effects visibly felt, a "wheel of fortune gambling affair set in running order, and a scene that beggars description quickly began and lasted all day. The crowd was the greatest gathering of hoodlums, vagabonds, gamblers, roughs, ana tramps, besides prostitutes, that has ever been gotten together in this country. Scarcely a person of any decency was to be seen there, and they only as observers. All the females present were of the lowest grade from the bagnios of the city. Fighting commenced early and continued all day. One fight between two females, from dens here, was a mcst sickening, disgusting, and bloody affair, that was renewed three times, and the male brutes permitted it to last over an hour, until one of the miserable objects was pounded to a jelly. *It was in all a fiat faiiure as a political meeting. N. G. Buff. H. D. bcott, and other lesser lights of that great* reformed clique of office-seekers, who were present, after wandering about the grounds and endeavoring to get the crowd to listen, with no effective results, at last drove away disconsolate with themselves and their grand National mass meeting. Several of their leadei who have been advertising it for several days past, out with carcjs this mornir.g trvini prove they had no connection with "1 :in effort so thin as to make them ohj. j.t.« o. ridicule and disgust.

SCOTCHING A JOURNAL LIFE1. I'rom the Indianapolis Sentinel. "Bayless Hanna, one of the party wheel horseE," etc., "declares that he will not vote for any democrat for the legislature who will vote for Voorhees for the senate."

Editor Sentinel—The above paragraph appeared as editorial in the Indianapolis Journal in its is9ue of the 19th inst. I am not in public life, and what I may say or think .of public men and measures may be of little moment, but I do not want to be misrepresented. Among my neighbors I should have no concern about a charge at orice so palpably false and foolish, but as a surmise thus launched by a newspaper of such large pretensions and extended influence may travel beyond the boundary lines of our state, it becomes my duty to say it has no foundation in truth. I never Raid any such thing. I never thought any such thing. This very week I have ten appointments in Vigo county, to address the people in the interest of Robert Van Valza and Newton Kester, both btaunch supporters of Mr. Voarhees, who will work and vote for his ascendency if they are elected members of the general assembly, as I hope and believe they will be. I have never in my whole lite changed in the slightest degree any ticket, or rebelled in word or thcught against ar\y measure made or promulgated by the Democratic party, for I believe it is next to the church of Christ in its relation to human happiness and civil progress. I am the supp jr'er of ail its measures, and of all the men who advocate them. B. W. HANNA.

The above statement of Bayless W. Hanna, Esq., stamps the life out of another of the Journal's editorial lies, and in view of all thecitcumstances the matter is entitled to the attention that it is likely to rece.ve from the public The Journal will be likely to find oiit' possibly to its cost, that the days when reckless lying could be indulged in with impunity have passed away. The cases of Louisiana and Florida, with thei' forgeries and perjuries, are not to be precedents fof 1876, and the Journal may as well take notice of the fact. The radical party, we are awareis reduced to the alternatives of lying or of abandoning the campaign to "the Democratic party. If its organs tell the truth, overwhelming defeat is certain, and if they continue lying, they tviir secure with defeat the unutterable scorn of hone6t men of all parties. The Journal's foolish hostility to Senator Voorhees crops out on all occasions, and it can deteat the distinguished statesman by any means approximating fairness and honorable warfare its right to pitch in is

practice in our city, it is qnite remarka- unquestioned, but its constant report to bie, and shows a great capacity and strict lying, while it does not injure Mr. Voorattehtion to business. Mr. Hunter is one hees' prospects, evidences a purpose to of the very best posted attorneys on the by methods such as were adopted by 1 Madison Wells, John Sherman

CONSUMPTION CURED. An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India minsionary, the formula of a simple vegetable remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure for consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, and all throat and lung affections also, a positive and radical cure for nervous debility, and all nervous complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering feliows.
