THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1879.

ENTEBED AT THE P0BT OFFICE AT TKRRE HAUTE, IND., AS SECOND CLAS8 MATTER.

TO THE READER.

A number of persons will receive a

copy of this issue of the GAZETTE who

are not regular subscribers. The edition was got up hastily to accommodate the Vigo Agricultural Society, which occu

pies much of our 6pace with news of the coming great fair. This is scarcely, therefore, a fair sample of our paper, and yet the reader can get an idea of the

character of it. The GAZETTE is distinctively a NEWS paper. It belongs to the Associated Press and receives all the dispatches it has a full corpR of local news gatherers, and allows nothing of importance to escape attention. Besides

this it presents each week a quantity of miscellaneous selected reading. The

market reports are received by telegraph and the Indianapolis stock market is also

published. Full reports of the Vigo courts are printed. We feel assured that most of the farmers, at any rate, who receive this copy want a weekly paper this season and

are prepared to get one. Please favor us by sending in your name. Address,

GAZETTE,

From Tuesday's Daily.

Rev. John Babtiete Chasse, who died yesterday" morning shortfy after half past two o'clock, at St. Mary's of the Woods, was born Jan. 6th,181$, in Rennes, Brittany, France. At an early age he entered the university of. his native town, where he completed a full course of academical studies, preparatory to espousing holy orders. He left his native citv, as a deacon, in 1839, arriving in the United States in the latter part of the same year. He was elevated to the priesthood shortly after, the exact date not being known, by the Rt. Rev. Bishop De La Hailandiere, at Vincennes. He remained at the University of Vincennes for several years, being professor of the classic languages. He was the instigator of St. Vincent Orphan Boy's Asylum, located at Highland, near Vincennes.

In the latter part of the year 1855, he was nominated by the Bishop to the pastorship of St. Simon's Church, at Washington, Davies Co., Ind. He remained at Washington nearly twelve years, and when the Rev. P. B. O'Connor was called to Vincennes, from the pastorship of St. Joseph Church, this city, ne was appointed to the vacant position in 1866. He remained as pastor of St. Joseph's Church until June 2, 1878, when, at the death of Father Corba, he was appointed to the vacancy, as chaplain to the Sisters at St. Mary's, which position he has held with meek devotion until the time of his death.

He had been 6ick for several years, from disease of the heart, aggravated by long and severe mental and physieal toil. At 2 o'clock yesterday morning he called to Father Riehle, assistant chaplain, who found him sitting in a chair with hands clasped to his breast, his breathing difficult and suffering great pain. He asked to be lifted up. This was found to be impossible, and he was assisted to the bedside. He was supported and was apparently recovering. His last words were: "Give me absolution it is all over with me give me the last Sacraments." Father Riehle administered the sacraments and was singing one of the orations, "Coinmendatio Animae," when the dear old Father passed, as if in a sleep, into that world which knov/s no ending.

INSTANTLY KILLED BY JUMPING FROM THE CARS. At an early hour yesterday morning three yeung men were stealing a ride from Catlin to Fairmount, on a Wabash freight, and as the train passed through Fairmount one of them, named C. S. Denman, aged 18, in jumping otf the cars, was 6truck on the head and instantly killed.

A coroner's jury brought in

verdict

accordingly, and exonerated the Wabash company from all blame.—[Danville (111.) News.

THE benefit for the widow cf the late Conrad Heuther, to be given nest Thursday evening, will open with a promenade concert, after which a ball wil! be given.

MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY From Tuesday'a Daily. Last night at 11 o'clock, at the station house, there was a novel scene, not often witnessed at such places. A prisoner, Wallace Dodge by name, who, yesterday afternoon, attempted to escape from custody, but who was afterwards re-captured, which is recorded in another column, was joined in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Sarah Jones, a sprightly country girl, rather green, but pretty.

The prisoner, held on a charge of horse-stealing, and the girl, seems to have been old lo\ers, intending to marry for some time, and as this only opportunity presented itself, they profited by it. The groom had no money, and a subscription list was opened and the necessary $2 to secure a license raised. Justice Steinmehl was roused out of bed and summoned to the scene. The ceremony was performed in the sitting room of the station house, the room itself being jammed to suffocation and the hall likewise. After the ceremony, by request, the girl accompanied him to his cell, and re mained with him until 1145 this morn ing, when the prisoner was taken to Danville. The girl accompanied him.

THE WATER MELON CROP. There is no place in the Union like Terre Haute for water melons. In the Philadelphia markets the proud and delighted Terre Hautean may see signs informing buyers that the Terre Haute par excellence melon may there be had. This year Mr. Byron Deming, who is a large raiser himself, kept account of the August trade. Here are his figures

Seventy-two car loads were shipped away, principally to Chicago, Ft. Wayne and Toledo 25,000 melons were Con sumed in town and 25,000 were hauled away to Illinois and other places in wagons. This certainly looks a good deal like business.

THE superintendent of one of the In dianapolis roads was recently applied to for a position as brakeman by a man who had been in the employ of an Illinois road for several years. When asked the reason for leaving his old position he said the management owed him $400 back pay, and he didn't see his way clear of getting any of it.—[Indianapolis News.

the Great Twenty -lilc Ride He Will Perform Here Dor. ng the Fair.

From Tuesday's Daily.

The secretary of the Vigo Agricattural Society has returned from Evansville, where he has closed a contract with Col. Pettit, the celebrated Texas rider. This gentleman will bring hia stable often Mexican horses here and ride twenty, miles in fifty minutes. The feat is a wonderful one and will draw a great crowd.

At Evansville the affair caused tremendous excitement. The papers gave l.-ngthy and detailed accounts of everything and say it was the most novel contest on the turf witnessed in that section for many years.

The person who thinks the fair this year will not be a big thing and acts accordingly, will be greviously mistaken. Never before have so many attractions been offered. The Board is acting liberally and their efforts should be seconded by the public.
