The money rasrket is improving rapidly. In the East, rauney was. never pleotier and accommodations can be had on the most reasonable term. Four and aix per eent. per anuam is the usual amount paid on dicouuts in the easrn cities Ucre, in the West, for everything the farmer has to sell, a fair round price is iriven. Money in large quantities is brought from the East and put in circulation iu this Valley. The criis which has j t paed, has forced our people to adjuit their indebtedness, ar.d every person ia measureably out of debt. Our banks, it is true, by their evasions of the law, atil! charge ten and fifteen per cent, on their dis counts, but this cani.ot last lor.g, for the ae cessilies of the people will soon be released. There is a tendency upward in real estate. An increave of almost one third has recently taken place in the price of property In Chi c.igo, an.l a tendency in that direction is per ceptible everywhere. The Spring, we have no doubt, will open with the most favorable I a, ;ci anJ lfc.a torra b4Tin f,Al , d lihtful calm will aucccel. A financial calm that will enable every tnsn of energy and induiiry to draw around hira the comforts of life, and the hurricane through which we have just passed, will teach as all a lesson not soon t W forgotti n. CoMizried prosperity ia a misfortune. A little a dversitv makes c more fully realise that in general we are a very fortunate people. The prospects for extensive improvement in Terra Haute next year, was never more Haltering. An under current of popular opinion is sajiaglhal the Prairie City j must jo ahead next reaoq. 0r raechaoics jare looking forward with mr hope, our cap j iulists are marshaling their means, and oar j property holders are thinjj-tf improving their property.

The original "surprise Polka Duetts," by Prof. Meininger md Miss Madison, was a good prelude to what followed. 1 ha ve heard much of the excellence of Möns. Colliere as a "Ihr itone," J have alo heard nmst of the noted baritone singers in Opera, both foreign and natite ind taking into consideration tho dis. advantage under which ho labored, by not having a good reom, my expectations conceived from his reputation were fully rraltzed. He has power in execution excelled by few. His chest tones ard rich and lull, and through its entire cornpasa his voice is smooth and flexible. His daughter certainly shows fine skill in Operatic duetts. Her singing of Ver di's "air from Hernaui," was a tine piece of execution. Uy study she will reach the point of excellence as a "Soprano, to which her fa fier has attained as a naritone." She is destined to stand high in the profession, for ehe has a voice and sonl for music. S'ie has aUa the Queen like appearance that is so desirable in an Operatic sirger. Put what shall I say of our own sweet csntratrice, Miss Newby.

We lately heard of an inn by the roadside, in which oue room, where the landlord had ditd, was evr after railed the mysterious chamber, conthinintr the bed of the former occupant, iu which no; traveler might rest, as, if he attempted to lo so, the gh.'st of the former hi dloid would shake him out. Several having tried and got a good shaking, the u.-e uf the chamber had to le ab.tniior.ed, till one cold north-western night a wearied' traveler had the trmi iity to tetk n rvoston the onlv bed which was vacant, which pioved to hi this same haunted bt d. As lie was very tired, he determined that no fliest fhould shake him out. But he bad no sooner dropped asleep than the whittling of the wind, the creaking of rusty hiiiis mid a violent shaking of hi tied awoke him. Nothing daunted, but with the right spirit of inquiry, he concluuVJ ?hnt natural results must have nv.mal causes; lie camly waited for another shalr, which came with the next j Ut of wind fli.'d a Crc.lkin! of hing s, which prJCtrcded fron the innWtainin sv'i. It was f;ilen:d 1V staples to a loose beam which projected into our trav eh r's room, and ag.titiat which the li-ad of hi bed rested, lleing pti.':ed that tho rb0t was onlr a Mot ill-WfeSU'T. he oirctly removed the bed lo the muMta of j of the room, and slept the tost of the night without a tingle shake."

It. . ., . - CT Tbe old folks' Concert for the benefit of tbe poor, considering the very inclement weather, was well attended last evening. Indeed we wonder there were any in attendance, but the object was ao philanthropic that many of our good citizn could not resist the temp talioo to be present. The irood old eongs that were sunp, were gloriously tunp. How cmld it be otberwle, when the deep, full, mellow voice of Irving, assisted by his two highly cultivated and accomplished sisters, could all ths time be , heard, like the aift muic of village bell. falling upon the ear in cadence sweet, and then load and louder still, clear and sonoroo as the gale." The costumes in which the singers, appear d were unique and altogether in keeping will the jrooj ld aoogs they ung. It was aim e! an unenjoyed luxury, to see a woman once more withort hoops, and tbey looked so Deal, ao womanly and ao comfortable, that resolutely we wished for the fashions, of the davs of other vesrs. a The Concert cloed to the satisfaction of all present, wiih a promise that in a Khort time iti would be repeated, to which time we have mi! doubt our citizens will look with much interest. ———<>——— STABBING AFFAIR.—We learn from Marshal Van Brunt that a man, a stranger, from Pennsylvania, was stabbed, on the corner of 4th and Ohio streets, on Monday night about 10 o'clock, as he was proceeding quietly on his way to the hotel. His story is that two men were standing by the lamp post and as he turned the corner one of them turned around suddenly and stabbed him in the thigh, inflicting a very severe wound. Marshal Van Brunt took the wounded man to the office of Dr. Young who dressed his wound. We learn since writing the above that whisky was the ruling cause in the above affair, and that the parties were on good terms all the evening previous to this accidental meeting. ———<>——— PnoTociurit.
