HAVE you ever thought how little money it takes now-a-days for a man to live in first c'ass shle, that is if you only find the right spot to board.

THREEcents per bushel ia being paid to first class huskcr6 of com. tor husking Corn, but then this class of workmen are well known, and are those who do not leave the bmall ears. They clean it a'l up as they go, which makes a great difference, for the hand in some fields, simply gather the large and leave the small ears, which can soon leave corn enough standing in the field to pay the proprietor for having the fcrep re-harvest-ed.

Successful Meeting at the House -V of Mr. and Mrs. Wolsey a darbour.
Linen Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Scott.
Saturday the Terre Haute Horticultural Society met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wolsey Barbour, four miles west of the city. The hearty hospitality of the host and hostess would have made the day delightful if there were no other features to interest and please. An elegant feast, and good essays, wf re followed by a discussion of the question, "What shall we do with our boys
Capt. Potter, Mr. Jas. Ross, Mr. J. O. Jones, Mr. Albert Kussner and others, all raisers of large'families of boys, gave the results of their EXPERIENCE.
Some people say that there was but one person at the meeting who has a boy to "raise," but then they don't know. Nobody need be told that the gentlemen named above have large families of boys end ot
course
it is a matter of interest to them to learn how to "raise" them. We would suggest to the society that the best way to keep boys at home on the farm is to light it all over with gas, pave and sod it nicely, put in billiard and faro tables, gymnasiums and bowling alleys, Ac., and hire a band and a minstrel party. Then, if plenty of hands are hired to attend to the work, the "boy6" might l$e induced to spend a part of their time at home. The society should take this practical suggestion into earnest consideration.
THE LINEN WEBDINO.,.
T-
In the evening the society met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Scott, and tendered them "a surprise." The event celebrated was the thirtieth annual rec-urrence of their wedding day.
Rev. S. S. Martyn was present, toper* form the ceremony of thirty years ago. He also made a little speech expressing the kind feelings of those present.
Responses were made by the bride and groom, though they were too much affected to say much.
A number «f woven presents were left by the guests. The evening was spent' pleasantly and ended as happily as it bfgan.
BOLD VILLAINS. *"\.
I :*MSM
ATTEMPT TO ASSAULT AND ROB TWO LADIES ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY. About four o'clock in the afternoon of one day last week, a bold attempt was made by a party of four villains to rob two ladie6 while out riding in their carriage. The ladies, who desire their names not to be made public, are well known members of our highest society circles, the'r husbands both bejpg prominent business men. They had been out enjoying a ride, and visited a family re siding about two-and-a-halt miles east of the city, on the State road. At the hour above mentioned they were returning to the city, when, Hi a point just west of the Fair Grounds, they met two rough looking tramps standing in the middle of the road, and saw two more sitting upon the fence there, evidently all of the lame gang.
As they passed the men, one of them seized the horse by the bit, the other stepped towards the carriage. The ladies at once realized their danger and were greatly frightened, but retained their presence of mind. The lady driving asked "what do you wish?" 1 he villain holding the bit replied "we want to see tee you." The lady at the same instant 6truck the horse, a spirited animal, a sharp cut with the whip causing him to spring forward. The villain held on to the bit, so did the one that came to the carriage side. The lady plied the lash, and after being dragged several yards, the villains were obliged to let go their hold, and the ladies escaped, and drove tie horse rapidly to the city. They looked behind, and observed there was not a team or person in sight as far as thev could see iu either direction, and they would have been completely in the power of the gang of villains. One of them ran after the carriage a short distance but gave it up. All set up a yell at the ladies as they drove away.
The ladies both were wearing valuable jewelry, aniond rings, expensive watches and chains, and had qliite a sum of pocket money. It was a desperate and b.ld attempt by the tramps, to commit robbery and perhaps worse, and ladies will do well to observe who they meet hereafter when riding in the suburbs. The last seen of the gang they were hastening across the fields, evidently afraid of alarm being made and men being sent for them.
The ladies hesitated to give any alarm at the time, as they disliked the notoriety liable to be created. This was well enough for modesty, but bad for strict justice, and must be regarded as unwise, as by such means do such villains escape punisement.
THE Tri-Stale (including Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky) Medical Association meets in annual session in Springfield, 111., Wednesday next. The association includes five of our physicians, Drs.

HOME AGAIN
County Clerk John Durkan Home From a Tour in Ireland,
And Brings 57 Ponnds Extra Weight.
Mr. John Durkan, our popular county clerk, and one of the most efficient officers that ever held that position, returned on Saturday afternoon from an absence of about seven months to Ireland.
He was met at the Un'on depot by a large concourse of friends, and the Governor's Guards, who turned out in full numbers, in their full dress uniform, accompanied bv the Ringgold band, were ptesent and formed a line, gave him a salute as he stepped from the cars to the carriage, and escorted him to his residence in the south part of the city.
Those who remember Mr. Durkan of last winter and early spring, remember he was verv slender, thin ot face, and had a general appearance of a man in ill health, and his friends felt march solic itude about his health. Therefore, the surprise at seeing him now is very great, tn find a vigorous looking man, stout ol figure full of face, in fact, a man looking in the very highest state of health, in the prime of life, decidedly fat, and jolly. It is a wonderful change and at once compels one to wonder what do they feed a man on, or what sort of an elixir is there in the atmosphere there to create such a change for the better in a man in «o short a time. There is a well known old proverb about the unbounded hospitality of the Irish race upon their own soil, but Mr. Durkan's appearance lays all proverbs in the shade. They don't begin to fill the bill of description, for they do not include any such combination of climate, food and comfort, as his appearance justifies one in believing he has enjoyed. Certainly they must have a beautiful xlimate, a healthy air and most excellent food, and it is safe to predict that there will be many others go from heie to try the effects of Irish climate on Irish soil. Mr. Durkan is a walking illustrated description of that country as a health resort.
He left Terre Haute on the fifteenth of May last, accompanied by his young son, Patrick, and sailed from New York in the splendid steamer Egypt, landing in Qoeenstown, Ireland, after a quick and very agreeable, run of about nine, days. The weather during the trip was very pleasant.
Hs proceeded direct to the north of Ireland, where he has a number of near relatives living, principally in Conemara. Here he made the greater part of his stav living verv quietIJC, just taking solid enjoyment, in riding, boating, fi.ihing and hunting and getting fat. He made some short visits to Scotland and principal points near by. He speaks in the highest terms of praise of the climate and the healthfalness ot their vegetable food, to which the Irish people owe in a great degree their pure blood and clear complexions.
He left Conemara and crossed tne trish Sea to Liverpool from which port he sailed Oct.

on the steamer Egypt,
the same steamer he went over on, and arrived in New York after a very long and tedious voyage. The weather was exceedingly rough all the trip home. He states that neither himself nor his son were at all troubled with seasickness. He has again entered upon his duties, where his hosts of friends are calling upon him with hearty congratulations.
BURGLARS.
Sunday morning the peacc of mind of Mr. Jos. Blake was considerably disturbed by the announcement ot the cook that burglars and entered the house during the night and taken all the ingredients of the Sunday dinner.
The effect of the news depressed Mr. Blake's unusually genial mood and he proceeded to the cellar looking as glum as though he had iost an important suit.
On examination it was found that the thieve's had entered the cellar and taken from a wine closet a number of bottles, the contents of which they drank. The bottle were found out on the grafts. They also ate a pumpkin pie. The rest of the pies, the wine, some butter, roast beef, a cod fish and a turkey, they had put in a large tub. This tub was found under a porch, just outside of a passage way. The tellows had evidently been suddenly frightened off at the moment they were within reach of success. "f

NEW TELEPHONES.
Three New Ones at the Vandalia Yards.
The Vandalia Railwny Company is not outdone by any road in enterprise anw adoption of all that is mentioned as ned and useful, no matter how expensive. Recently three new telephones of the Prof, Edison pattern—an improvement on the Bell pattern—were put in at the freight yards.
The circuit is from Mr. Elliot's office to the freight office, thence to the yard master's office and back again. There is of course a machine in each office, and if they are not beauties then that which is to be "a joy forever" has not yet been invented.
On these telephones the Phelps "receiver" is used. The principal differ* ences between the Edison and the Bell telephones rest* in the fact that the former is operated by a battery, and the latter by a permanent magnet. Tne latter is therefore the most convenient for private individuals, who have no batteries in operation. The "receiver" is entirely seperate from the "sender" in the Edison telephone. The arrangement for "call" is also somewhat different.
These instruments are not sold to the company nor to any one but merely rented by the year. Seventy five dollars per annum are* paid for the use of the three above described.
HON. WILLARD CARPENTER
HAS HIS LEFT EYE EXTRACTED TO SAVE THE RIGHT PROM DISEASE. Frem the Evansvil'e Tribune.
About twenty years ago Hon. Willard Carpenter lost the sight of his left eye, but until recently suffered no great pain trom the affliction. Within a few weeks the eye has given him a great deal of pain, and on consulting'a physician he was advised to have it taken out, as a measure of precaution against the extension of the diseas* to his right eye.
At 11 o'clock this morning five surgeons met at Mr. Carpenter's residence, and after administering chloroform, extracted the organ by an operation that did not occupy more than seven minutes of time. The advanced age of the patient, seventy-seven years, was the chief cause of anxiety to the surgeons, and made it necessary to administer the chloroform with great care. The operation itself did not seem like a difficult one. the whole eyd ball being taken from the socket by the cutting of the muscles with a pair of surgeon's scissors. He underwent the operation with less of a struggle than usual with persons under the influence of chloroform, and will probably be about his business as usual in a few days, with very little trace of it observable.
Among the articles of solid utility and beauty to be 6een, are a set of books made by
John D, Mets, of Dubuque, Iowa,
for the enterprising Chicago advertising firm of Lord, Brewster & Co.,* corner of Dearborn and Randolph streets. The edges of the covers, and the sides, are protected by black .ebony, inlaid and highly polished, and the ease with which the smooth ebony surface moves upon a desk or sbalf, must be the delight of the book keeper. To all appearance, these books would 6tand constant usage foe generations. They seem as solid as the well known sterling character of the men for whom they were manufactured. Messrs. Lord, Brewster & Co. arc a firm that faithfully perform all their contracts according to the letter and spirit, and it is evident the/ intend tp make a record of their doings of the most pennant kind while the procuring of such a net of books is itself an indication that their integrity and usefulness as advertising agents is meeting with fair reward. In addition to the usual day book, cash and journal, and ledger, are two registers—one for daily and one for weekly publications—arranged for easily noting the paper, fact and date of every insertion of each advertisement ordered by them. These notes are compared with the contract previously made with the advertiser. This sense of honorable dealing with their patrons and customer! requires them to do this in every case, and the amount of attention and faithful care required to trace an Mdvertisement through a large number of publications and see that it is correct! oublished at the proper time and location Is known only to those who have had experience in the work.'l
"COOKED THEIR GOOSES." Late on Saturday Chief Stack was infotmed of the whereabouts of a couple of confidence men, a "brace" known to be operating upon "greenieo" in our city. They were discovered to be putting up at Price's boarding house, on Ohio street. Taking officers Cronin and Davey with him, the chief made a raid upon them, and was so entirely unexpected by them that lie caught them in the act of effecting a cnte game upon an unsophisticated countryman. Their special g&.ne here has been'the "dollar clothing store" trick. It consisted in offering a suit of clothes to a man at a figure that would be almost certain to be refused and then to gradually get the victim into drawing a card trom a box that would entitle him to a suit of clothes for "only" one dollar a draw, and they had a bogus package, representing money, made of a wad of paper, with a five dollar bill wrapped about it, which they claimed was $50.00, a prize in the lottery.
They are
known to the police in the
west as Jack Manning and Sherman Herman, and are fighters, and three card monte men, that generally operate a season in Si. Louis and Chicago, and work their game on railroad trains. Their latest railway jobs was worked on the I. & St. road they are a dangerous "brace"• and their arrest is to be congratulated. They should be "sent up" for a long term.
They were taken before 'Squire Qniglev for trial this forenoon and, after a hearing, were discharged for want of sufficient proof to show misdemeanor in their acts. Kelley for the state, Carleton and Lamb for the defendants.

Death of Mary Mahoney in a Cistern.
THE INQUEST.

EVIDENCE.:
Mrs. Hannah Mahoney, sworn: The deceased, Mary Mahoney, went out and no particular attention was paid to it. Thinking she was in the kitchen, I called her about half past eight, and finding she did not answer, I immediately went to look for her and learned she had been drowned in the cistern. She was about twenty years old.
STEPHEN MAHONY,
sworn: The cistern had a chain pump which had been taken out to be replaced with anew one.
L. L. WILLIAMSON
stated on oath: I live in the same yard and was in bed asleep when 1 was called by my wife at .9 o'clock. She said there was some one in the cistern. I got up as soon as I could and dressed myself, and took the light and went out to the cistern. I took the clothes crop, and felt the body of the deceased, fdrew her to the surface of the water, and, with the help of Mr. Phelon, got her out. She looked as though she had stepped on the board, and had fallen in. 1 had seen her every evening in the yard previous to this.
JAS. T. LAUOHBAD
testified as follows: I was passing on the street at p. M. and heard some women and children screaming and learned that a child had been drowned. 1 ran to the house and found a girl lying by the cistern and helped carry her into tne house. She showed no sign of life:

A RAILROAD SWINDLED. Several days ago, Abe Barfour, representing himself as the advance agent of the Uncle Tom's Cabin Troupe, and saying that he had tost his money and wanted to get to Indianapolis, applied to Charles Folictt, general ticket agent of the Vandalia, at St. Louis, and requested a pass. Mr. Follett told him that as he was not acquainted with him, and did not know him to be a showman, he could do nothing for him unless he could get a letter of indorsement from some showman whom he knew. Barfour left, but: returned shortly with a letter from Charlie Wing, agent of the "Danites," and on the strength of this tetter he received a pass. He came to this city, and hers it wae found that the pass had been altered ao that two could travel on it. Mr. Follett was informed of the matter, wrote toWing, who, in reply, said that the letter wal not from htm. and that he did not know such a person as Barfour. This imp6etor is now in this city, and railroad men and the police are now on the lookout forliim.—[Indianapolis Sentinel.

TiiU postponement has been found necessary from the fact, that too short a time was had in which to make sales of the tickets.
