A GOOD story is told on a fishing party composed of Messrs. Fred Siedentopf, Lewis Kalber and Frank Dunkin, -who spent last Sunday at the Bayou. jNot one of the party could swim a lick, but all are considered pretty good at pulling in fish. It happened while fishing in the boat, that Frank Dunkin fell overboard and came near going to the bottom. One of the party, however, managed to catch him when he came op the second time and by hard work eot him ashore. Then they built a big fire and took all of the clothes off of Dunkin and dried them by the fire. People going to churoh along the Prairieton road proved a preat annoyance to the party as they had to hide Dunkin behind a stump until they were out of sight. They didu't get a bite while fishing the whole day and now they blame Dunkin for it and say he was a very poor bait.

Something for Your Scrap Book.

In order to oelebrate the 50th anniversary of his residence in Terre Haute Capt Jim Hook prepared from memory a list of all the meu who were here fifty years ago when he came. Of course there are omissions no man's memory can be absolutely exact but this list of Capt Hook's is remarkably complete as covering all ihe men who attained any prominence. The GAZETTE has arianged the names so that at a glance any reader can learn whether his father was here then or not A very small number of the residents of Terre Haute 50 years ago are still living. In the appended list their names are marked with a star.

Terre Haute fifty years ago was a small village of not over 1,600 people. "The busiuess part" says the Captain" "of the town was on Water, First,Second and Third streets from Ohio to Mulberry streets. On Water street and along the river the pork bouses were located and also the cooper shops were in the vicinity of these streets. The pork business from November to April made business lively, and the building of flat boats and shipping the pork and other produce to New Orleans, the market then for the west, was the leading business interests at that period. The panic commenced in June, 1&37, caused by tha issuing of the specie circular by the secretary of the treasury under Van Buren's administration, directing all government dues, including the receipts at the land offices, to be paid in gold and silver. This oaused a suspension of all the banks, and gold and silver were things to be talked aboutf but rarely to be seen. Very little was done in the shops, merchants putting in time at some amusements, hunting, fishing or playing poker for "red dog" and "blue pup" at five-cent ante. The products of the farm at nominal prioes were: Corn, 10,12 to 15 cents per bushel wheat, 35 to 37 oents potatoes 12 to 15 cents eggs, 2 to 3 cents per dozen butter 5 oents per pound chickens, 50 to 60 ceLta per dozen pork 1% cents per pound first quality lumber, from 65 to 85 oents, per 100 feet good mechanic's wagfcs, 75 oents, 80 cents and $1 per day, and paid in trade when there was anything to do"

Mr. Hook says that as far as his memory serves him there are but seven persons in busines here now who were ia business fifty years ago. They are David S. Danaldson, Jesse Lee, P. M. Donnelly, Jno. Sums, D. W. Bankin, Jno, Wilkes and himself.

The following is the list:
