A CARD.

To all who are suffering from the errors and indiscre.ions ol" youth, nervous weakness, early decay, lon« of manhood &C., I will send receipe that will curt you, I'KEK OK CHARfiR, This great remedy was discovered by a missionary in South America. Send a self-address-ed envelope to the Rev. Joseph T. Inman, Station D. Bible House, New York City.

STEKI-B and Elmore townships in Daviess county have each voted appropriations in Aid of Mr. Hervty's new road, the Chicago VVorthinijton and Washington.

IT is said to be true that pellets made from the wax tnat springs from pine lumber will cure the worst case of niuht fcweatd. Dose: A pellet about every six hours of ordinary pill size.

ONE of the handsome articles noticed by YK GAZF-TTKEH recently was the skin of a very large and beautifuly coU red dog, nicely trimcd and lined, used as robe for a baby wagon bv Lou W. Chadwick's heir. Mr. Lou Townjend tanned it a good many years ago. It's a beauty all the same.

Iris very generally known that Nlr. Chas. Heinig the nappy papa of twin babies. One of thein has been r.car death's door for several days which naturally enough caused a gloom to appear in Charley's countinance but to day the little one is reported much better with hopes of an early recovery.

SUNDAY afternoon, during the hard know storm, a couple of individuals, clothed in female attire, called on a north end dealer f,r pipes. They were no tloubt lonesome and were Oing to make bubbles. Certainly they were not going to smoke as they, from appearance, were not mure than fitteen and eighteen each.

TUB transfer of the affair* of the U. S. internal revenue office of this district was completed yesterday and all matters found to be correct and satisfactory. Considering the great extent of the district and the immense valuation of the revenue collections monthly, this is a very creditable shoeing, and quite complimentary to the outgoing collector.

THE canvass of the city for the new directory is now two-thirds completed. It will require but a few more days to finish the work, and then the work of compilation begins. Messrs. Sherman & Meinley are going to give the citizens of Terre Haute something nicer than they ever had before in the way of a city directory. Everybody should subscribe for it.

O.N the fifteenth of thi» month the tramp aid act expired and no more are received at the station house. This is much to the relief of 11 Thomas Esq., the majestic station keeper, and to the great saving of cash to the tax payers. Although the weather has been much more severe than last winter the number of applicants have been less, and the expense about $.200 less than formerly.

THAT crossing over the I, & St. L. railroad on Fifth street, has at last received attention from some source in the shape of cinders. One would judge at a rough guess that It took about' a half a hundred loads to do the job in fact' it was, for a Iflrfg time, a b^d place. It would almost break the springs on a log wagon. Buggies and other vehicles that did actually possess springs wereentiiely out of the question.

A WATCH, the works of which it is claimed are of either a very late or an extraordinarily remote pattern, and which, in either case, the patent ha6 been applied for but never allowed, can be seen at a north end grocery store where it is to be rallied oft'. The" tickets sell at 5Cts each and there is one hundred of them. Nearly all have been taken, the most of them by bo vs. One would hardly think that one hundred tickets could be disposed of but I bolieve that at sets each they can sell the 100 sooner than 20 could be sold at 2$c.is. .. ..

CARD OF THANKS..

To the Editor of the Unzette. We desire through the columns of your paper to return our thanks to the citizens who subscribed so generously to the fund for the purchase ofthe flag presented to the Knights of Father Matthew.

We cannot refrain from making especial mention of Judge Long, for to him we feel indebted for a very kind favor.

SOMNABULISM EXTKANORDINARY. From tSSfi Lognnspott Journal.

A son of Abram Matthushek, a German living west and south of Sanilac, met with a singular accident a few nights since. It seems that he and a brother were sleeping in a room which is heated by a drum on the pipe from the stove below, and as there was a hot lire below the boys' rcom was verv warm. The boys retired early, and about 9 o'clock the family were startled by a loud noise as though a heavy bod}' had fallen on the floor in the room above. The father at once proceeded to the room from which the noise came and was surprised to see one of the boy* lying on the floor in an insensible condition. Medical aid was at once summoned. In a few hours the boy came to, when he settled in the minds of those present the cause which led to the a:cident. He said he was dreaming of being in bathing and that he climbed upon a post to dive, and that he struck his head on the bottom and it is evident he got up in his sleep and took a "header" from the bedpost, Luckily for him, no serioue results came irom his forcing of the season and he will be very likely to lie still and let some one else do the diving oflf 01 bedposts hereafter.

ST. PATRICK.

Erin's Patron Saint To-day.

Honored

Rig" Proc«Mlon-Hermon and Other Form* of Observation.

From Monday'* Dally.

The unpropitious state of the weather in the early rnornir.g made it very dubious if the time honored St. Patrick's day parade would be observed here as in years past. But the bright sunshine that came out and promised a pleasant day, soon had a cheering effect, and at an early hour the sounds of music and glimpses of men in regalias hastening to their various headquarters made it certain a parade would be made.

At about ten o'clock the various societies, having gathered at their respective halls assembled and were organized in line at Oriental Hall, corner of Third and Main streets, and ir. a short time all was in readiness for the

GRAND 1'AKADIT.

This was a very agreeable surprise to all who witnessed it, for it was one of the largest best arranged and most brilliant displays that has celebrated St. Patrick's iy in many years past. The men presented an ununually fine appyarancc and their gay regalias looked exceedingly bright and clean.

THE ORAM) MARSHALL,

Mr. James Hogan. was mounted and deserves especial mention for the good order in which he had his line arranged

THE SOCZEllKS

were as follows following the grand marshall: Cornet band, 11 pieces. Knights of Father Matthew 55 men John

E. Tobin commander.

Knights of St. Louis, (boys) 40 members Jeremiah Burke, commander, led by Rev. Father Louis. Benevolent Order of Hibernians 54 members J. P. Brennan commander. (mounted.( Terre Haute Drum Corp zi 's drummers, led by drum major. Ancient Order Hibernians 52 members R. J. Durkan, commander, (mounted.) St. Joseph's Total Abstinsnce Society 42 members. ———Commander.

The procession included 269 men and boys in regalias besides several honorary members not enumerated above and the matching was in excellent time and distance.

THK YOUTE

was observed as published in the GAZETTE of Saturday without any diviation. SERMON OF REV. FATHER MC-

CABE.

Below are some extracts from the sermon of Rev. Father McCabe delivered this morning. He chose his text Irom Ecclesiastes—Chapter 45—verse 3—

"lie glorillo1 him in the sight of Kings nuil gave commandments 111 tho sight ot his people and snowed hunhs glory.

At the first, speaking of St. Patrick, he said: When a \oung boy he was stolen from his home by pirates, and sold as a slave to one of the petty chiefs of Northern Ireland. His captivity lasted seven long, weary years. And so, after this hard servitude, when he had got to understand the Irish people in their habits and character, and to be familiar with their language, a hand ever present to point out his pathway, frees him from his bondage and he returns to his home. But once home his first flush of joy over, at meeting his dear mother from whom he had been so cruelly separated, his heart once more settled down into its accustomej calm, he found his thoughts wandering back to that people from whom he had escaped. Those poor inlanders made his memory a haunted house. Underneath all their defects and paganism, his eyes detected a stream that might yet widen into advantageous good. They were a brave, bright, and withal a deep-hearted people, wanting not one of those qualities which haa made other people famous in the past. It was a terrible thing he though that such a noble people should be lost to God. Almighty God Himself was mercifully thinking the same and so he began to stir the destined prophet of his people. Our Saint began now to feel mysterious yearnings and to be troubled with strange dreams. He heard these people calling to him to return and free them from their spiritual foes. He felt a hand pushing him out, out to where in the melancholy ocean, the unhappy Irish had their home.

After this, like a true apostle, he set to work to prepare himself for the great mission, and so he arose and once more, leaving father and mother and everything that man holds dear here on earth, he set out for that land, once the land of his humiliation,, but now destin^.d to become the land of his wonderful triumphs.

What a grand record does our oountry

?n

resent to the other nations of the earth the history of the church there is no other example of a heathen nation, in the life time of any man, springing up into the maturity of the Christian life, and becoming, in truth, what from that time she was called, the Island of Saints. St. Patrick was called upon to do a prodigious and supernatural work, and God endowed and blessed him with gifts proportioned to the undertaking. The conversion of Inland, in so incredible 6hort space of time from the time of his landing t.o the day of his death, forms one of the brightest epochs in the history of our native country. Our Saint met with no opposition his progress resembled that of the triumphant march of a victorious King.

powerful grace, many of our poor forefathers gave up their false worship, bowing down to Him whose purity iruist have a virgin mother, whose thoughtful tenderness takes care of even »he lilies of the field. From Tara our Saint traveled through all the country, and everywhere he went he succeeded in converting not only the poorer class of people, whose interest it was that Paganism should be destroyed, but the princes and druids, whose interest it was that PaganUrn should continue. They all believed and were baptized. The work of the missionary has ever been one of great labor, with apparently small results. Such has proved to be the case in the conversion of all nations but, my dear brethren, Ireland alone stands out a grand exception. She is the only country that owes her conversions to the labor of one single man. He found her universally pagan, he left her entirely converted. She is again the only nation that never caused her Apostle an hour of sorrow or a drop of blood. She welcomed him like a friend, received the word from his lips, made it at tncc the leading feature of her life, put into the blood ot her children, into the language of her most familiar thought, and repaid her btnefactor with her undying love and beneaction. And in due appointed season, his work done, his waretare ended, the island conquered over for his God, strong soldiers appointed to feed its flocks, our brave old bislioo, full of years and labors, was taken to his everlasting rest. And when he died the church did not forget her apostle. Down upon that list of apostles, has she put his name whereon are written the glorious names of the great Judean twelve. And we, that were once sitting in darkness and the shadow of death we, I say, can lift up our heads with confidence to heaven, for we know that Himself is with us, and that we still have our glorious old bishop as our patron and preserver throughout all time.

From that day forth the religious type was clearly impiessed on the nation, and ever remained deeply engraved in its character. The Irish race was never distinguished for its fondness for trade, for worldly enlightenment, prudence. It* annals speak of no boasts of conquest among its people the brilliant achievements of foreign invasion, the high poliiical and social aspirations which generally give lustre to the national life of many people—none of these belong to them. But religious feeling, firm adherance to faith, invincible attachment to the forms of Christianity they had received from St. Patiick formed at all times their striking characteristics.

From the dav their faith was first attacked by the Tudors, did it blaze forth into a biilliant splendor."

The speaker continued in a glowing strain on what religion had done for Ireland, and eulogised the steadfastiiess to religious principle for which the natives have always been noted.

ABROAD. AT NKW YORK. ,,

New York, March 17.—Notwithstanding the mud, tog and occasional showers there was the customary observance of Saint Patricks day, only the procession lacked the numbers of a lew years ago. In Brooklyn appareritly not more than a thousand men were in line. The exercises in Catholic churches in both citieb were well attended. In the evening banquets, panegyrics and private parties take place.

WASHINGTON.

President Hayes reviewed a procession in Washington. The snow storm in the east marred the pleasure of the marchers.

.THE EVENING ENTERTAINMENT. Last evening Oriental Hall, the hand some headquarters of the worthy Knights of Father Mathew, was the scene of a delightful social in honor of St. Patrick's anniversary, and a fitting close to the festivities of tl'e day.

The hall was filled to oveiflowing at an early hour in fact, hurdreds were unable to obtain admission, so 'ull was the large hall and adjoining rooms.

The occasion was highly enjoyable to the young people, and heartily did they enter into the spirit of the festivities, which were really their part of the holiday reunion.

At eight o'clock the immense audience was called to order and when quiet waa obtained announcement was made of the following:

WATER WORKS.

What Mr. John S. Beach has to Say.

For the past two or three weeks one of the Saturday evening publications of this city has contained articles delaminthe character of the late Thomas Dowling, and attacking the management of the Water Works company.

The Express has interviewed Mr. John S. Beach, President of the Water Works company, and his remarks are re-produced below:

Reporter—I have called to see if you would be interviewed on the water works question. I suppose you have read the articles recently published on the subject. .v.

Mr. B.—MI read the long string of sensational nonsense published in the Ledger, if that's what you mean.

Reporter—Then I suppose there is no truth in the charges made there." Mr. B.-»-None whatever but I suppose that makes no difference to the publisher. His object, doubtless, was to get up a sensation to sell his paper, and if he had put himself to the trouble to get the facts he would have spoiled his sensation.

R.—It is charged that you have never complied with the law requiring you to publish the actual paid up capital.

Mr. B.—Well, that is false. We have published it over and over again, but we never thought the law required us to continue publishing it after the construco tion account was closed. Wo published the entire operations of the company, but, if necessary, we can publish the whole general ledger account.

R.—What about the charge that there was no money put in except that got from the city bonds.

Mr. B.—That is simply ridiculous. There is not a man in town of any sense that believes that. There was taken and paid for $ 170,000 of slock. In fact we spent over $175,00o in addition to our own bonds, and of that the proceeds of the bonds we got from the city was $42,500, and if )ou are going to publish all this I want you to sav that the council was asked to give us that by petition, t-igned by over eighty per cent, of the property holders of the city.

R.—The harge is made that Col. Dowling was bribed with stock to put the matter through the council.

Mr.

:—Yes,and

if Col. Dowling was

alive, I would like to see the man that would dare make such a charge to his face. The whole charge in connection with Col. Dowling is false, and it is a shame that the memory of a man who was an honored citizen, and who gave valuable services both to the city and county, and who has left children to grow up Rnionj us, should be blackened and defainepon mere groundless rumor. People forget the time and circumstance of the building of the works. At that time the stockholders were awarded credit for public spirit in putting their money in the enterprise. They nave built the best water works in the countre charge less for water than the law would allow them have given fire protection that has saved more per annum in insurance premiums than the amount paid by the ciiy, to say nothing ol the property saved, and yet the stockholders have never received one cent in return in the way of dividends, and cannot for years to come.

R. Is there anything more you would like me to say. Mr. B.—I don't know that there is. You might say that we have never feared any of the investigations or Buits that parties who know nothing about the matter talked about, and you might say further that the books of the company have always been and are now open to the inspection of any committee appointed by the council, who alone really have the right to examine them, and I now hope they will do so—not to please The Ledger, or in ancwer to its demand, for I do not admit its right to call me out in denial of any outrageous charge it may make, but to satisfy any who may have been deceived by its statements.

POSTAL BANKING.

THE NKW 4 PER CENTS.

It is probable that the postmafter of this city will be appointed by the Treasury department as agent for the sale and payment of the new Four per cent. re. founding certificates being issued by the government. These ceriificates are issued in as low as ten dollars denominations 60 as to be in reach of all classes.

By this act the postmaster becomes to a certain extent a banker for the people in behalf of the government, and gives to all a 6afe and ready means of investing their money in government securities. It is a bank that will not fail, and cannot break.

Each Certificate will be of the denomination of ten dollars will be nearly of the size and appearance of a United States note, and will bear on its facc and back the conditions ot its issue, as follows

Tu tho Editor of the GAZETTE: We spent one day at Greenville, Miss., and were sui prised to fiiid the people very anxious in regard to the reappearance of yellow fever. Ont gentleman informed the writer that he had put his house in order ready at a moment's notice to leave if necessary. The town is in a bad fix, very filthy, mud ofthe worst kind from 10 to 12 inches deep on some of the principle streets, and this putrid ma*8 is now being shoveled into piles, the rays of the hot sun pouring down upon it. At Vicks1'ury a rather better condition of affairs exist. We can hear of no cases of yellow ferver, thus far. However we think every precaution to prevent it should have been taken long ere this, and not left until warm weather. are getting a little mixed in regard to our Northern charity towards many of these Southern towns. In many of them we find a population that are coining money, in more ways than one. If not from the negro population, they make it direct from the Northern merchants who supply them with goods. We leave thin latter sentiment a little in the shadows of darkness, from which to draw your own conclusions.

There is consideiablc feeling South in regard to the emigration of the the negro North and VVY&t Yesterday 400 negroes went IM the river on one boat, destined for Kansu?. We can't see what Kansas or any other Northern or Western State wants with the negro laborer. Destroy this labor South, and the Southern States would become an institution only of the past. White labor never can succeed in the South, and so Jong as a white Southerner can get the negro to work, just so long, will they flourish.

So when he forgot hiri part, he could think of nothing better than while holding his "child" to say: "Kiss your father."

And each time when he felt that his memory was about to fail, he would save himself by crying out: "Come to arms, my child."

The husband of the daughter was heard to sav that he thought "the author repeated himself very often.

IN a card published in this morning's Express. Trustee Abbott gives figures showing the amounts of money received and dispersed by his predecessor, Trustee Fisher, and the amount turned over by Fisher to him in the special school fund.
