ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH. The work of improving Joseph's Roman Catholic Church was completed the latter part of last week, and the interior of the church now presents a dazzling appearance, and in point of beauty vies with any other church in Indiana. The decorators, Messrs. Henry Griien heck and William Binsack, of Evansville, have executed their work in a masterly manner. The church has been wainscoted, the ceiling and walls painted in water olors, all which is beautifully tinted. Along the walls at equal dis tances are placed twelve paintings of emblems of different saints. The pillars along the 6ide aisles have been finished with sold at the top. The walls have also oeen frescoed. The window glass has been rewly painted, on the central pane of each window being painted an emblem of some saint.

The middle or main altar has been painted and re-finished, and surmounting it is a large oil painting representing the crucifiction, with Mary Magdalen at thc foot of the cross. A

St. Patrick's altar, on the right, or north side of the church, had been ne«vly painted and otherwise fitted up. Surmounting this altar is a fine life size statue of St. Patrick.

St. Mary's altar on the left or south side of the church is elegantly refinished. Surmounting it is a statue of the Blessed Virgin, a present to the church by the Young Ladies' Sodality.

Workmen are this week engaged in varnishing the pews and making other improyements and-* alterations. The church will not be open until the Sunday after next, and the congregation will be obliged to attend divige services at either St, Benedict's or St. Ann's church next Sunday. rs

S. Grant may be expected there on his return from California and his tour around the world.

Terre Haute intends to have quarters in camp, and rations enough to subsist many thousand visiting So'diers and, with seven railroads centering there from all counties named above, and the cheapest railroad excursion fares, all can come and hold the largest Regimental Reunion probably ever attainable in a lifetime.

All newspapers in the Counties named are respectfully requested to give the above the widest publicity, so that Soldiers can correspond with each other and complete any desired arrangements for attending.

The Bart of Commeroe is creditor of the Sprague estate to the amount af abcxit $591000. it was offfered certain terms, of settitementl by the holders of the property, but it refused to settle, and would not acknowledge the right of the trustee to holtt the property under the trust deed claiming that it waa- 'illegal.

THE FAIR.

The Viga County Fair is Going to be a Success.

Busy Preparations at Elarrigon •:,« Park.

v-Hr

From Tuesday's Dstly.

UJ-,

A' visit to our beautiful Harrison Park (Fair Grounds) will convince anybody that the fair this week will be a success for the countf. The great thing all county fairs have to contend with is a disposition to compare the exhibits made with the marvelously complete collections that Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and other cities, with near a half million population, are accustomed to showing. Of course such a comparison is always to the prejudice of the more modest exhibition. Why people do this is a wonder. They don't expect so many magnificent houses, so many or so fine equipages, or such extensive mercantile establishments in the provincial cities and towns as in the great centers of wealth and population, and neither do they get unhappy, becauw in smaller places there is less grandeur but some of them profess to feel utterly wretched at the county fair they are not presented to vast and wonderful collections of curiosities. They :r.ust see something they never witnessed before and fail to appreciate the unreasonableness of their d--mand. The principal good to be accomplished by fairs is to encourage friendly competition and struggle for superiority in manufactures, agricultural, stock and poulrly raising, jt is a time for city people, besides showing their wares, to become familiar with the practical results and methods of farming. Horse racing is as old as the hills and yet the excitement and interest is perenially new. And why may not the same attention be given to the noble results of agricultnre and horticulture, of manufactures avd stock breeding. A person expects too much if he wishes to be perpetually surprised.

Still, the board, recognizing the popular demand for excitement have prepared a programme which will not be found wanting in.this respect. To moirpwthe

M.k 2:40 RACK J''

for a purse of $200 will draw a crowd. Perhaps'the best race of the day, how* ever, wiM be that for gentlemen's roadsters that never beat 2:5a.

Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 8, '79 DEAR SIR:—I have the honor to ac* knowledge the receipt of your kind invitation to act as one of the judges at a competition drill at your society grounds.

I know well enough that the umpire on such occasions is likely to make more enemies than friends. If hi* impartiality cannot be doubted his judgment will most probably be impeached. Nevertheless, I consider it almost as a duty to place myself at your service because nobody desires more the progress ot' o^r military system, than the officers of the army.

I shall leave here on the iuth,~in the morning, and arrive, I be)" ve, at 10 A. M., and shall be glad, an} how, to see your thriving place.
