THE GRAVEL BOAD.

We understand the northern road, front the town limits to Lost Creole bridge, is now finished—graded and graveled, and in pome places beat down bard. The gravel is 14 feet wide and 8 inches thick, which affords plenty of room to pass and repaas, and is thick enough 'not to wear out soon. Work on the road has iraeasurably ceased now, until after harvest, •when it will be resumed and finished to Otter Creek at two places, by October, or thereabout. We understand from those pacing over the road, that the work so far, has been done in the best manner, with good side gutters to prevent any injury to the road from heavy rains. Gravel is found near the work in large quantities, and of good quality. Carting it upon the road makes oue of the prominent items of expense.

As the road is to be finished by the time of the usual season for bad ronds in the fall and winter, it will not be thought improper to call the attention of the proper authority, towards continuing said road from our norihern limits to the public square in the city. Wo should like to see such a thing done, as it would be a work of public utility and benefit. Will this be thought of?

This improvement north, with the plank at the end of the piko cast, will be great conveniences to those two sections of country, and will add much to the business of Terre-IIatitc. There cannot be too much of such aids to commerce and comfort, and we should be glad to see such works commenced on our south, and south-eastern roads, as well ns a good road over the bottom west- Nothing else could bring more business to this place, and our citizens should give "material aid" to such things in every direction from town. Nothing of similar cost would be likely to do this placo more good.

O" The Common Council, by a resolution of the Board, may extend tho corporate limits of tho city so as to include adjoining city lots, which may havo been laid off as such, and recorded in the Recorder's office. A mere resolution of tho Board can bring such lots within tho city's jurisdiction.

We wcro asked our opinion recently, upon the proprioty of extending tho city limits upon tho north, so as to include Sec. 16 south, as far as Strawberry Hill, and enat out beyond the bridge, «tc. A large part of the above-named territoiy could not be added, except upon a petition to tho County Board, and their decision in its favor but had wo vote on such subject. wo would add no mori territory to the city, oxcept upon the clearly expressed willingucss of a majority of the owners of tho property to bo added. "Wo do not. know that any such extension of the city limits, will bo any benefit to the city, and wo can seo no good reason for adding persons or property against tho consent of those most interested. Any thus added against their !wi?h, would create interminablo discontent and perhaps wrangling, out of which no good can come. Wo hay therefore, if adjoining citi zens wish to come in, let them say so of tl)em selves, without any coercion. If they wish to romniti outside, take no step* to bring them in.

Such arc our views, and such a course, we think, is the only safe and prudent one to pur•uo. No extension of city limits against the consent of those most interested—tho outsiders.

1D* We sp«ko last week of a whirlwind •which took oil" a part of tho iron roof of Mr. Thomson's now and elegant steam mill. Many of our renders did not credit tho report, as the day, (Monday, 13th,) wna a ca'ni, hot day.

Tho wind, after it left tho mill, created a column of dust, sand, straw,and light articles, (and some piccos of boards,) which was about 8 feet in diameter at tho baso, tapering to the top and extending 300 feet upwards. On the ocean, it would have mado a beautiful water spout, as it was a Ruhlimo dry land spectacle to thoso who behold it. Tho gentleman most injured by it, saw it when it was passing away, and at a time when he knew not that it had complimented him with a call—leaving a 6mall testimonial of tho fact, or a slightfrebuko for casual absence.

OONCERT.

Tho "SrsvcsR Family"give a concert at the Universal ist Church this evening. They have flattering testimonials from every placo they have visited, and wo think we can promise a rare treat to our music-loving oita«n*. "Take me homo to die," by Miss Spencer, is said to be unequalled by any lady in the United States.

Mr. Irving commends the company highly, and as they sing but one night it will not do to miss that occasion to hear tho urivalled vo calists.

CT Arthur Spring, tho murderer of Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Lynch, was hung at Philadelphia on the 10th inst., at 1J o'clock, a. «.— He died assorting his innocence. To the last question put to him, he answered, "I believe my son is innocent. He had no more to do •with tho murder than I had.'- These word? were greeted with* a general groan from the spectators. Ho died easy, as It is neck was broken by tho drop. The usual horrid crowd were present.

5J* The Central Canal at Indianapolis Is spoken of as a great nuisance, causing ill hvatih to all upon its border. It affords xra tar power to some manufactories which the placo would miss, if the canal be abated. It is strange that rtumfwy water in canal is detrimental to the public health.

LARGE SALE OF REAL ESTATE. The real estate left hy the late Col. Tho*as H. Blake, all in this place, 9old one day last wreek for 118.200, as we understand. It consisted of the north half of out lot, No. 39, which has a front on Wabash street, (or National IUad,) of 300 feet, and will make fifteen lots of 20 feet each, for business rooms also the east half of in-lot 67, on which is a good new two story brick, now occupied by the Board of Trustees for the Wabash and Erie Canal also part of Out-lot, No. 23 near the river, known as the Old Brewery. Col. B. left this property to his only child, then in Washington city, 'who has since died, and who, by will, left the property to her Aunt, Mrs Gordon, of Washington city. Dr. John Blake, {brother of the Col.,) now in this place, made the sale, which we consider an excellent one—the property being bought by a company, of which we understand Wm. B. Tl-ell, Esq.. is the principal. We bear that some of the lots on the National ]Road,- are to be improved with three story brick business rooms as soon as materials cau be had to commence the work.

Improvements seem to be going rapidly towards the Prairie House, and we suppose it may not be very long before good buildings will extend out to that commodious Hotel.— Mr. T. who has been anxious to purchase the Wabash street property for sometime, desires to have the same handsomely improved as soon as possible, or as soon as the necessities of our growing busineHS shall require it. We wish him good luck in his heavy purchase.— We understand a favorable credit, with interest, was allowed on the larger part of the sale money. ______

SPIRIT RAPPINGS.

We publish a long article to day, upon this subject, coming from a very high source—see 1st pngo. We have made up no opinion upon the subject, though we consider it remarkable, perhaps a remarkable humbug, which yet baffles investigation. Wc publish 6uch things for just what they are worth, and that all may see what is going on in the world and enjoy their own views of its utility, or otherwise.— Wc rather hope the matter may be true, and of ultimate benefit in fixing the minds of the wavering as to the realities of life beyond the grave.

We notice in some of our exchanges, that lunacy has increased in New York since the commencement of the "spirit rappings" and has been so great as to fill tho present State Asylum to overflowing, while applicants arc turned away almost every day for want of accommodations. The Legislature of tho State now lias a proposition before it for the erection of an additional asylum.

Those who have gone crazy upon such a subject, wero doubtless born for lunacy, any way, and ought to be so considered. It is nothing ngainst tho rapping system, if people aro so weak-minded as to be unbalanced by reading or witnessing the singular exhibition

Nothing would interest us more than an interview with a disembodied happy spirit—vis am», if a spirit has any face.

AN OUTRAGE.

On Saturday night last, at about 11 o'clock, near Bomcnt's store, Jeremiah Sullivan was attacked with a brickbat, (in the hands of William Dickey, recently from Lafayette,) and felled to the ground, for tho purposes of robbery, as is supposed. Constablo Dodson being near by, interfered and arrested Dickcy, who was lodged in jail for tho night. On the next morning ho was tried before the Mayor, and failing to give bond of $500, was remanded to jail, to await a trial in a higher court.

Sullivan seemed to be pretty badly hurt. A dirk, pistol, and a bunch of keys were found on Dickey, who seemed to bo fixed out for a particularlino ofbusincss. Two other persons escaped. Dickey camo in on that evening, on a canal boat from the north, and soon put himself in a fix not to do much further harm, or to get bit himself, by bad dogs. Dodson was watching tho parties, as he thought them "suspicious characters."

Of course, tho Board of Health will do as they please, and perhaps, if they find the abatement of nuisances will lessen the comfort of the Prairie City folks, they may do just nothing at all, as they have no right to interfere with a citizen's taste. When wo suggested to the Board of Health to examino some places tcithin doors, wo wore not thinking of the pigty appearance of the Prairie City office. If a general remark has been taken to have a particular, and an offensive personal application, we will a«k leave to take it back. We hope our neighbors will not be ceremonious with us.

IT" The Parke County IVAtp says a meeting was recently held in Rockville, at which it was agreed, that tho north and south railroad must built. Major Puett is doing all ho can lo fu«J»r ehr prospects of the road. We have not heard here, whether enough stock is yet taken to justify awarding the proposed contracts for work on this road. We hope soon to announce all O. K.

Tho Whig says some 23 or 30 caws of smallpox have occurred at Portland Mills—none fatal. In another placo we publish a new discovery for curing small pox, which we commend to the scrutiny of physicians generally.

Peru and Equador, in South America are on the verge of war. At Rio, hostilities have beoa on hand for some month*.

COMMON COUNCIL.

A regular session of the Common Council was held on Monday night, all the members present except Mr. Lyon. Not much business was done, as we understand. It seems to be the sense of the Board to. pay about the following salaries

j*

I,,. -Z:

Mayor, office rent and $100 00 Clerks...... 100 00 Treasurer 200 00 Marshal 400 00 Assessor 75 00 Members of Board, each stated session, 1 00 Street Commissioner, per day...... 50 for the time actually employed, jfc.

Civil Engineer, same. Samuel Dodson was elected Market Master, at a Salary of $75 per year.

W

Judge Kinney's resignation as one of the town School Trustees was received—vacancy not then filled.

The salaries above indicated are prudently moderate. Something must be allowed for the honor attached tolligh places, -j

ROBBERY.

By means of an outsider, (a machine to fasten on a key and turn the lock back,) three of our citizens' establishments were entered on Friday night last, and the tills robbed of amounts from ten to thirty dollars. The robbing season has commenced, and people must act accordingly Good mantraps will be in demand.

Those robbea. as we have heard, were Dr. Wall's Drug Store, A. Pence, and J. Doughty. Oilier places were tried, but an entrance was not effected, as wooden bars across the door inside, prevented ingress.

After the campaign among the stores, private dwellings will probably be visited, as heretofore, to prevent which, some preparation ought to be made to give the prowlers a warm reception. Lookout too, for clothes lines and meat houses.

THE LAW SUPREME!

We notice by the Lafayette Journal that tho ordinances of the "Star City" are being rigidly enforced by the new Mayor, Marshal, and other high dignitaries. One day last week, according to the Journal, a descent was made upon an organ grinder and his Monkey, both of whom were toted before Mayor O'Buian,who fined tho tresspasser $G,25 (including costs.) and told them to "go arid sin no more." This prompt vindication of the laws will have its effect upon the whole neighborhood, for when vice is thus stricken down in high places, the common scamps will fear and tremble. The man and monkey were last seen on their way to Indianapolis. Mayor Soudier should have his posse ready, for be it understood, neither of them have any friends 1.

(T-TTiie Crthstal Falaok, aeording to the announcement in the Circular issued by the Directors, a copy of which will bo found in another column in this day's paper, will be opened for the reception of visitors to tho Great Exhibition of tho Industry of all Nations, positively on the 15th day of July next.

The Directors, in their circular, make satisfactory explanations of the causes of the repeated delays that have taken place in the completion of the structure, and they speak most hopefully of the result. Tho contributions from foreign countries are very valuable and far more numerous than it was anticipated they would bo. Visitors are already arriving in New York in great numbers, and constant relays may be looked for during the season.

(D*Beforo Esq. Rayon Monday,Wm. Kennedy was fined $7,00 and costs for assault and battery—paid it, and was released from jail.

On the same day Jas. Grant was fined $6,00 fora similar offencc, and in the absence of money and bail, went to jail.

These men did nothing bad of themselves it w«s Captain Whisky who incited them to evil. Wo propose that the Captain be burnt alive

SomO others were arrested and fined yesterday, charged and found guilty of perpetrating a tid-re-i.

O* A. 0. Hough, of Grcencastle, succeeds E. B. Allen as mail agent between Terre-Hante and Madison. We suppose this settles the aspirations and hopes of those here, who had an eye towards the same placo.

Hough is a very clever fellow, and we suppose, never wantonly insulted a man in his life, for ho always seems in the humor for laughing. When he has the hang of the pigeon holes, wc think he will make a good and pleasant officer for Uncle Sam and his children.

[CT The law requiring merchants to pay license for vending goods of a domestic character has been annulled. Of course those who paid license this term of the county court will bo looking after their money.—PrairieCity.

All the money our merchants have paid to vend domestic goods ought to be paid hack, instanter, and then the Prairie City editor could put it in his eye Tho law which has been so unceremoniously annulled, (we do not know by whom,) may be found, perhaps, on the back of the primer.

Some people imagine that it is very difficult to get rich. Nothing, however, could be more fallacious. All that is required, is to earn a dollar every time you spend DO cents.

Another plan is to work hard, eat nothing above cold bread, wear a dollar suit of clothes two year?, unwashed, and never grant a favor. Riches will then come as sure as shooting, about tho time you arc ready to go hence, leaving relatives to quarrel over and divide your hard-earned, unenjoyed estate.

MRS. B. ST0WE—MOKET-MAKIHO. Mrs Stowe's work, Uncle Tom's Cabin, has met with an unprecedented sale, both in Europe and America and the authoress is now traveling in England, with her brother, where she receives the most marked attention from all the higher classes. Her book has made her a fortune, and is making more for her every day. If she is fond of money, as we all are, there is a plan suggested, (easily carried out,) by which she can still put more gold in her purse whether she apply it to the amelioration of the colored race, or otherwise. This is the plan

While in England, let her distinguished brother disguise himself, and in suitable apparel, act as her page, by which he can visit all the dark corners of the ''fast bound isle," and pry into all he meets with connected with the ''life of the lowly." Let him then publish a book, a faithful portraiture of all he may have witnessed—publish in the name of Mrs. Stowe, the work to be embellished after the man ner of "Uncle Tom," and we will guarantee as large a sale of such a work here, as his sister's book has met with in Europe, and by which the whole family may line their pockets with guineas.

This iscerfaiVily feasible,a work ea«ily accomplished, and we think, will meet with unparallelled success. Her friends ought to spare no time in making this lucrative suggestion to the traveling pair. Put us down for two copies.

ID" Sometime 6ince, at a meeting of the School Trustees and the citizens of Richmond, Ind., by resolution, they levied a tax of 50 cts. on the $100 for echool houses, fcc. Another meeting of the citizens has been held, when they adopted the following: *.

Resolved, That we are willing to pay a tax of 25 cents on the $100, for the purpose of building school-houses, or for the advance ment of common schools.

Resolved, That while we are willing to be taxed moderately for the aforesaid objects, we do not feel like submitting to the tax of 50 cts. on the $100.

Resolved. That we believe the only fair and satisfactory mode of ascertaining the will of the tax-payers in a matter of so much importance, is to have-a regular vote taken.

The vote by ballot, is to be had in Richmond, on the 25th inst., to determine the question.— We-liave always thought that a tax by an affirmative resolution, without regard to the qualification of voters, was at lea^t of questionable validity. The Palladium says of the above "Should a majority vote in favor of 50 cents tax, we doubt not but that every citizen will cheerfully conform to that decision, and all things go on harmoniously. Should the decision, however, be in favor of 25 cents, or no tax at all, it cannot control tho action of the Trustees, because the meeting must be called bv them at which any le^al action can bo had. The better way to have proceeded, would have been for 20 citizens to have petitioned the Trustees to call a meeting, and their proceedings would have had some show of legality."

THE WEATHER, CROPS, &o. Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday last were very warm days, the mercury ranging from 83 to 94 in our office. The country needs rain much, the drouth having much injured the corn and grass. Oats aro nearly a failure.

The farmers are now harvesting in Vigo, some of whom have heavy wheat, and some again will be poorly rewarded for their labor, as in some places the dry weather and the Hessian fly have nearly ruined the crop. So it is in other partsof this State, and in other States, but upon the whole, our information leads us to believe that the wheal crop of Indiana, and the adjoining States, will be an average one. We hope so indeed. One farmer of Vigo finished his wheat, harvest last Saturday.

Terre-Haute is extremely dusty at this writing, and all hands are looking for and hoping for rain. Cisterns are out, and every thing out, of doors needs moisture. The general health ia good.

(D~ The Putnam Banner names A. L. Osborne, as a candidate for Reporter of the Supreme Court, to run against Albert G. Porter lately brought out by the other side. We are agreed to be governed however, by Mr. Osborne's wishes in the premises. The whigs ought to put no burdens upon their prominent, men, without some prospects of benefitting them.

ET Tho Presbyterian General Assembly, which recently convened at Buffnlo, havo decided that promiscuous dancing is inconsistent with Church membersnip. "What constitutes promiscuous dancing," they will probably decide at some future meeting. Dancing with each other, of course, would not be considered promiscuous.

Fred Douglass states that Mrs. Stowe will hereafter account for the contributions now being made in various parts of Great Britain, through the columns of his paper.—Cin. Com.

Wo think Mrs. Stowe might have complimented some abolition paper conducted by a white man, by making it her official organ.— There's no accounting for tastes, however.

D" The Ailanthus has been proscribed at Indianapolis. The mad-dog cry recently raised against this tree, is enough to ruin even the character of the Buckeye, which smells about as bad.

U* Herman Hollingsworth, Superintendent of repairs, was recently killed on the Knightstown and Shelbyville railroad, and several persons wounded. A bridge gave way which threw the cars from the track.

HT The news from Europe somewhat indicates a war between Russia and Turkey, and should it commence, it will doubtless involve England and France. A war in that country tiow would certainlv be a terrible one.

AN ALLEGED WONDERFUL DISCOVERY. •. The following article is copied from the Boston Courier. We regard it as a serious duty, in giving place to it in the columns our paper, to express the hope that no one will be thereby induced to rely upon its recommendations, except under the sane tion of competent medical counsel the discovery be all that is claimed, it is most valuable to the human family, and its author will merit the gratitude ol the world

Cure for Ytrclent Smallpox or Scar lati.va, and Measles.—A merchant and ship owner of this city has had the follow ing recipe sent him from England, where it was furnished by Mr. L. Larkin, mem ber of the Royal College of Surgeons, and who vouches for it as a "medicine that will effect a revolution in the healing art as regards the prevention and cure, not only of small-pox, but also of measles and scarlatina, however malignant the type, in a manner more efficient and extraordinary than could ever have been hitherto on ticipaled even by the most ardent philan thropist."' "On the first appearance of fever or ir citation ushering in attacks, whether oc curring in families or large communities the subjoined mode of treatment should at once be entered on. Take one grain each of powdered foxglove or digitalis (valuable in the ratio of its greenness—the dai should be rejected) and one of sulphate ol zinc, (this article is commonly known as white vitriol.) These should be rubbed thoroughly in a mortar, or other convenient vessel, with four or five drops of water this done, a noggin (or about four ounces) more, with some syrup or sugar, should be added. Of this mixture a table spoonful should be given an adult, a-nd two teaspoonfulls to a child, every second hour until symptoms of the disease vanish '•Thus conducted, convalescence, as if by mngic, will result. The rapidity of an event so auspicious will equally delight and astonish. It may. however, be necessary further to note, that should the bowels become obstructed in progress of the disease, (an evil by no means common) then a drachm of the compound powder of jalap (formed of two pnrts oream of tartar with x)ne of jalap) and one grain of the herb, treated as above, formed into a pastil with syrup or sugar,should be given to an adult, and half the quantity to a child. This simple medicine shuts out every other form or article whatever, as totally unnecessary. if not pernicious. "The method us medendi of these medicines, capable of effecting results so gigan tic. remain now only to be given, and appears to be as follows: The herb, by its anti-febrile properties, lays hold at-once of the fever, the prolifi?source of woe, which it immediately strangles, while the zinc acts the part of a toniCj instantly restoring the equilibrium."

Mr. Larkin adds: "No emigrant or government vessel should hereafter be allowed to put to sea without a few pence worth of these protectors, and it is further ardently hoped that, as the dearest interests of our common humanity are so vitally involved in this discovery, the press of all countries will give publicity to this announcement.

The Cominu Thousands.—Private letters- from the Old World state that the movement towards the New is likely to prove extraordinary within the coming six months. It is estimated that some 200.01)0 men, women and children, will leave England and Ireland, and that this vast army will he increased, to nearly a half million by adventurers from Germany and other portions of Europe. A still further impulse is likely to be given to this living tide, by the strikes in the United States, and the extravagant reports that are published in foreign journals, as to the demands for labor and the high rates of wages in this country. What is likely to be the general effectI Let us imagine thtaccession of a population of half a million within the next six months, and of this, aggregate at least 100.000 laborers.

THE WORLD'S PAIR. New York, May 31,1853.

THE

Directors of the Association fortheExhibition of the Industry of all Nations, give notice that the Exhibition will be opened on the 15th day of July.

In making this announcement, the Directors avail themselves of theopnortunity to state that the building which they nave erected, and the Exhibition which they have prepared, will, they believe, fully meet the just expectations of the public*

It is proper that it should be known that, in order to afford ample scope for the inventive talent and skill of ourcountrymen in machinery and agricultural implements, we have increased the size of the building bv addinv nearly one fourth its area, beyond what was originally contemplated, so that we have now for the purposes of exhibition two hundred thousand square feet, or nearly five acres.

Not limiting their plans to a display merelv curious or attractive., tho Directors have organized a department of mineralogy and geology, in which some of the best scientific talent of the country has been employed and the foundation is thus laid of a most valuable national collection of the mineral resources of the country.

The Directors had hoped to opon tho Exhibition at an early period, but the novelty and intricacy of tho style of construction anil the high standard of architectural beauty which it has been the object of tho Association to attain, have produced delay and it has been impracticable for the Directors, notwithstanding their utmost vigilance and their most earnest desire, to announce the opening at an earlier day.

In regard to the general character of the exhibition, the result promises to be most giatifying, and not unworthy of tho confidence manifested towards it by the government of tho United Slates, a confidence which has elicited a cordial response from the governments of foreign countries. It. will, unquestionably, be tho most, attractive and interestingcollection of tho works of art, the results of science and the productions of industry that has ever yet been made in this country, and will tend to increase the active emulation of the age in everv branch of intellectual developement.

The sole charge of the interior of the building, its division, Arrangements, clasilication and police, has been confided to tw(i officers of the Navy of the United States, Captain S. F. Dupont and C. 1-1. Davis ant' the sanction of tho government given to the appointment of these gentlemen, who havedisiinguMiod themselves in the special services in which they hrtvebeen employed, affords proof the confidence reposed and the interest felt, by the highest authorities of the country, in the general objects of the enterprise.

These gentlemen havo organized their department as follows:— .1. M. Batchelder—Secretary of tho Superintendent

Sfiltiuel W ebber-—Arrangement of Space and Classification Prof. 1J. Silliman, Jr.—Mineralogy and Chemistry 1}. P. Johnson—Agricultural Implements

Joseph K. Holmes—Machinery Edward Vincent—-Textile Fabrics Felix Pialti—Sculpture. fiSfe* 1 hnOfficial Catalogues and tho Illustrated "V\ eekly Record of the exhibition are to be published in the building, by Messrs. G. P. Putnam ifc Co., under the supervision of the Association. '1 he directors have sensibly felt tho confidence reposed in them by their fellow citizens, in all partsof the country and they will continue to mako every effort to satisfy their just expectations.

DIRECTORS:

Mortimer Livingston, Philip Burrows, Alfred Pell, Johnston Livingston, August. Belmont, Charles W. Foster, Alex. Hamilton, Jr., Theodore Sedgwick, George L. Schuyler, William W. Stone, Elbert J. Anderson, William Whett.cn, Henry R. Durham, John Dunham, W. C. 11. Waddle, William Kent, Jacob A. Westervelt, Watts Sherman, James A. Hamilton, F. W. Edmonds, Samuel Nicholson.
