Dr. E. Y. Ball, of this city, has

been appointed an examining Surgeon by *thfr Commissioner of Pensions. .*

Father Kemp's Old Folks concert

4roupe is coming West. It gives a concert at Dayton, Ohio, on the 1 th inst.

A new safe has been purchased and

just placed in the County Treasurer's office, for the safe-keeping of the books and monies pertaining to that office. tf's, |gr A Sabbath School under the superintendence of Mr. J. E. Saxton has recently gone into operation on South Sec ond street, under the auspices of the First

Baptist Church.

8^" The fire alarm about eleven o'clock Monday night, was occasioned by the burning out of afluo in the residence of jerry Voris, Esq., on North Fourth street. No damage. ,—,

Mrs. Alice, H. Gondit, of Muncie,

has taken out a. patent for manufacturing an article„ called feathered cloth, which is intended to take the place of Swann'fe down, and is much cheaper.

In Sugar Creek township there

are seven hundred children entitled to school privileges, and for their accommodation ten schools are in successful operation under the supervision of W. W. Casto, Esq., Trustee of that townshp.

DKTJSBMINED TO HAVB IT.—Mr. Goo. W. Sparks, the new lessee of the poor farm for the year commencing on the first day of March next, has filed his bond obligktihg hithsell' to feed and cloth all the resident paupers—averaging about forty persons—for the sum of five hundred and fifty dollars the transient paupers at $1,75 each per week, and the insane at $2,00. The next lowest bid for the resident paupers wad two thousand dollars. Quite a difference.

19" The sale of lands for delinquent taxes due the county was completed yesterday, and vas the largest sale of the kind ever made in this county. Ninetysix pieces of real estate were sold at a foot-' ing of $1,897 15,. The.ownersof property sold have the privilege of redeeming the same at any time within two years, on the payment of the amount paid by the purchaser and the addition of fifty per cent, and costs. At the expiration two years, if this is not paid, the present purchaser is entitled to a clear deed.

The Board of County O'ommis-

|iQnefs#a^purned.yesterday, after a aession of three days, having completed the business for which it was called together. The remonstrance against building the Poor Asylum was overruled. No contracts were made for lumber, but it was ordered that specifications be made on the plan already adopted. The members of the Board visited the ground belonging to th^£ourtty—known as the Clippenger farm'—arid selected the site for the proposed building.

Jfi^Llst evening we were ^favored witn!amew of thV truly splendid scenery in preparation for the drama of "Pauvrett," to be presented by the Amateurs, on the evenipgs of Friday and Saturday of this week. Mr. Lu Hager is the artist, ami displays his usual artistic taste in the ex$cu$ion£f, the variousrscones he jhas attempted. "Pauvrette" cannot fail to draw, as we are convinced it will be ^ut upon the stage in a manner superior to .anything eyer attempted in the lino of "spectacular drama," in this city, excepting, perhaps, the-'^Lady of the Lake."

The genial warmth of a summer's

sun, although rendering it sqmewhat juicy" underfoot, made yesterdajr a glorious day—bathing all nature in its lambent beauty, treating us to a revivifying sunbath, and giving to housed mortals a pressing invitation to come outdoors. Tbe sleighing is effectually slayed. Where but a brief time since tbe tinkling of bells and r.oiSeleSs runner told' of slippery streets, now all is mushy and squashy as we go slippity-slop. One by one the unused wheels appear, and the sleigh that so merrily sped a day or two since, is doomed to dry and gather the dust of months The dissolving snowbanks are creating tnany a pool. We pick our steps cautiously. AH is not firm that appears so, and we go kerchug into the water under the treacherous snow and ice, and l'eel foolish. Many a slocking was wrung last night, and many a cold i',the nose will annoy to-morrow.

Leigh Hunt wrote of this month

"If February were not tbe precursor of Spring it would be the least pleaeant of *iheyear.'-The'dfSBgi^eable tha-ws tako place, and cold succeeds, which is the most disagreable of wintry sensations."

This describes the situation naw. Yet a pastoral poet of the year 1825, sang the situation most beautifully in these lines: "Sunkirftln whoae concave depths receives Th«- waters draining from those shelving banks Whe» the shower beats, yon pool with palid gleam Betrays its icy covering. From the glade lxaiijagia pensive file, and moving slow, The cattle, all unwitting of the change, To qnencli their customary thirst advance With wrondoDua stare, and fruitless search they trace The solid margin nun- bend low tjie lM-ad Jo act Id drinV now with fastidious nose S affibK tte tmurbloflofr, and breathing loud,

tFrom

the cold touch withdraw. Awhile they stand disappoiument mute with pondrous feet Then bruiw the surface to each stroke the woods Kepi) forth gushes the imprisoned wave."

A gentleman next door to our of­

fice after receiving some fifty applications from men and boys to saw a load jo^ wood' lying in front of his door, stop, ped the annoyance by attaching to tbe pita a placard inscribed: '•This wood is engaged to be sawed."

A melancholy accident occurred

at Morris on Thursday. While a passentger tram was backing down to let a freight train in the switch, Tommy Jones a little deaf and dumb boy, son of Thos. -Jobes, was run over and frightfully man* the entire train passing over him.— He/lived until afternoon, when death put an end to the little fellow's suffering. i@F" Itimigin a few days since asked a provision dealer, the proprietor of some very high priced produce, if he was in sured in afe Acgjdent Company. The dealer replied he was not and desired to know why the question was asked.— "Why," rejoined our friend, "you will strain yourself putting up prices, some of these times, and you should be insured against damage." aSF" The farmers, generally, are in excellent spirits with regard to the wheat crop. It is believed that it has now taken such a hold, under the protection of the snow, that the "March freezes," "rust," "weavil," or the whole army of "croakers," will not be able to make it a failure. We trust that this may prove true. The prospect, certainly, was never better.

The day on-which the ground hog

emerges from his wintry bed has been disputed—some holding it to be the first day of February and others contending that it is the second day. Friday, the first, was a clear, sunshiny day, and shadows were visible, while Saturday, the second clay, wasjcloudy. The ground hog ^theory is doubtless infallible, but until the question in regard to the date is determined it is imposeiblo to forotell the kind ot, weather we are to have during the next six weeks.

INDIANA PATENTS.—The following patents to Indianians were sued by Commissioner Theaker, for the week ending Januuary 22d:

Lime Kiln—George William White, of Greensburg. Seed Drill and Cultivator combined— John P. Zeller, Bourbon.

Composition for Kindling Fires—Dexter B. Andrews, Fort Wayne. Fly Trap—M. M. Preble, of Kokomo.

Plow—Israel Long, Terre Haute.

KILLED.—We learn from the Indianapolis Journal that Prof. Hamilton, who attracted so much attention in this city, last summer, by his feats in the business of horse-taming, was killed, a short time since, in the State of Michigan. It appears that there had been an old dispute between Hamilton and a man from Canada, and the latter swore that if he ever met Hamilton again be would kill him. Hamilton disregarded the threat, but his enemy made his words too true. Prof. Hamilton Will be well remembered by our citizens as the horseman who drove a fine black stallion through the streets without reigns. f* In our last issue we stated there were four large steam flouring mills in this city. It should have read six mills. The following isjia list togethor-with a statement of their several capacities, as represented by the number of run of burrs in each:

Thompson's, Cor. of First and Popiar streets, 8 run. McGregor's, South Walnut St., 4 run.

THE SKY AND THE WEATHER.—The color of the sky, at particular times af-* fords wonderful good guidance. Not only does a rosy sunset presage good weather, and a ruddj sunrise bad weather, but there are other tints which speak with equal clearness and accuracy. A bright yellow sky in the evening indicates wind •a pale yellow, wet a neutral gray eokr constitutes a favorable sign in the evening and an unfavorable one in the morning.

The clouds are, again, full of meaning in themselves. Ifjtheir forms {are soft, undefined, full and feathery, the weather will be fine if their edoes are hard, sharp and definite, it will be foul. Generally speaking, any deep, unusual hues betoken wind and rain, while the more quiet and delicate tints bespeak fair weather. These are simple maxims, and yet not so simple but that the British Board of Trade has thought fit to publish them for the uso of sea-faring-men.

BUILT A SLEIGH IN A CXLLAK.- Tbe Lafayette Courier tells ^f^a feiari in that citj who built a sleigh in his cellar the other day, and when finished, found it wider by three or four inches than the door way, and of course couldn't get it out. He then set about repairing the error, by taking the sleigh to pieces, intending to reconstruct it outside it together the Anowt opportunity was lost.

How many people there are in the world who build all their sleighs in the cellar, without a thought of the doorway, or the adaptation of the jgn$anat* the end Men toiling life slaves, in tne pursuit of wealth and scarcely taking time frem the busy avocations to cultivate the acquaintance and nurture the love of wife aacf children, are building a sleigh in the cellar. The man who joins church and thinks that attendance upon tbe stated means of grace is all sufficient to insure him a through ticket beyond Jordon, is building a sleigh in the cellar, without a thought of the "narrow way," and of how "few there be.wbo find .it.'?. ».The statesman and the people who think that a Republic may be reconstructed, wi|hput regard to the eternal principles of jupticc, are buiding a sleigh in the cellar. The old fogy merchant, who buys a" large stock of gobd^, arid expccts to sell th'em without advertising, is Iniildingl'slcigli in the cellar. The man who marries for money, or the giri, who is captivated "by a stunning neck tie, and patent leather, are building their sleighs in the, cellar.— Both may be glad to lot their partners slide, but the snow, lil^their loyejj'.ynll have melted.

The e^»mous price of white paper, and tbe ouMqr for telegrams and correspondence, the taxes, and wear and tear of material makes thei Dusiness of publishing a newspaper far from remunerative. The Tribune paid nearly one-half of its receipts for the white pap&i^pon wshich i|js .pfii)i^d and eyery newspaper now printed in the country is compelled to do the same, and but little prospect of a decline in this, to them, im-portant-item.

The exhibits being made at the close of the year by the newspapers of the country demonstrate to the people what is well known to the press, that the year 1866 has Siotjblen a very profitable one. Cost of material or labor has not been lessened, while in most caser the circulation caused by the war has largely fallen off. The consequence is, that it is a daily occurence to chronicle the decease of a newspaper.— Evansville Journal. -1

Rev. Mr. Jennings, acting School Examiner, (and "P. V.

The teacher an estimable and accomplished lady, has appealed from his decision.— The action of the examiner excites considerable indignation in the community, and the Courier shows him up in a slashing editorial..

GROUND HOG'S DAY.—Friday, Feb. ruarjf^lstj was Ground Hog's Day. According* to tradition, this* sagacious and prophetic animal, awakens from his slumber, rubs hU eyes emerges from his hole, stretches his nttis, and looks about him.— If liesees hit shadow, he hastily retreats to his den, where he remains for a term of six-weoks, indicating that there is yet to bo that amount of stormy weather. If on the contrary no shadow is discernuble, he remains above ground unLil another winter ^ends him to* his quiet retreat. According to this theory—thpre being a bright sun yesterday we may look for six weeks of heavy* weather. We maj* add that last year thd g-ound bog fully sustained his ancient reputation as a weather-guide. •,

APPEARANCES ARE DECEITFUL.—Tho Indianapolis Herald tells an amusing story of a young fellow calling upon a young lady whom lie TiaE "met at an evening party, not recognizing ber in bor shabby gown and uncombed hair, and asking for the fair lady whom bo had called to see. Tire supposed servant retired, and some time afterwards returned, arrayed in •ipyirc lyitifjue, jJOTyder, paint and ringlet*, to enrapture her visitor with her daggling beauty. JJ'ifemng, after time, to the '•singular creature who had answered the bell,'lHospoko of her as evidently "too dirty fof a lady and too lazy for a servant girl." The lady turned, very red and then as pale as her paint would allow her to* ^en»NSvi'!tor/??$deflly.comprehended the whole affair. Tbe interview was termiriated quite abruptly, and without an invitation to call again!

JJsgf When "the boys" are out sleigh* riding, and halt to take a smile, and then get in tho sleigh again, and try to drive away without unhitching their horse, we are not surprised but it does look suspicious to see a prominent mernber of a certain church get into his sleigh, and take up tho lines carefully, give his horse a sharp blow with his whip, while the poor animal is hitched securely to a post! What will his horse make of sucii strange con'-' duct?'

To SAVE OIL —An exchange prints tho following as a good plan to save oil. Will somebody try it and report: "Pot the wick irjto the lamp,* arid fill the latter about half full with coarse salt, and it will be found that a great saving will bo the result. Tbe salt wastes gradually away during the burning, and must be renewed from time to time. The light is purer and more brilliant than without the salt, and the wick will require no snuffing-".

NOT THAT KIND.—A ^jung lady who seen the other sid-» of thirty, step ped into one of our photograph galleries the otljer .(}ay, /o have.her. picture taken. As,old maids ave generally of an inquisitive nature, aiways poking round where they have uo business, shu accidental looked into the machine, and to her honor discovorpd that Qlqects are reliacLed, inverted or, as.she expressed it, "up side wn." She peremptorily refused to sit any more, and adjusting her bonnet-ribbons, remarked that "that game was played out. She wasn't going to be stu^k up in that manner if she never had a .picture," arid with a swing of the "tilter" whic li would bave done credit to a Broadway fashionable, she sailed from the room w,ith an air of insulted dignity.

No MORE FIRE CRACKKRS.-Young Americamust hereafter be contented to celebrate Christmas and Independence day without the usual fu8ilade of ChipefQ. crackers. The tariff bill introduced into the Senate by Mr: Fessenden, contains a clause forbidding the importation of fire-crackers: nnd whatever bill passes, this provision will no doubt be one of its features. This seemingly trivial subject is one of the greatest importance, as the terrible fi.re which nearly destroyed tbe city of Portland, Maine, last summer, originated from the-expl osion of a fire cracker and Senator Fessenden, wbiie home is in that city, deserves the tbanks/of the country for taking measures to profit by the les-' son, and provide against similar calamities in future.

IST" Somebody says that it is a sure test of love when a woman tells a man who is smoking in her presence that she indorses tobacco smoke." Let a man attempt to blow a cloud in the company of a woman who don't care a fig for him, and then let him look in her countenance for approbation. If he don't find considerable of what Byron calls "silent thunder." than he will prove a very lucky man, and the lady will be considerable of an "Angelio."

OLD BUT TRUE.—We have seen the following ever since wo were a boy. It has been published about once a year in every newspaper that has come under our observation. But it is as true now as it ever was, and \Ve publish it again for Lhe benefit of the rising generation, some of whom may not have seen it:

CHEAP SLEIGHING.—Dr. Franklin's celebrated receipt for cheap sleighing runs as follows: Sit in the hall in your nightclothes, with both doors open, so thai you can get a good draft put your feet in a pail of ice-water drop the front-door key down your back hold an icicle in one hand and ring the tea-bell with the other.

CONSOLING. Tobacco cbewars and smokers will doubtless tako pleasure in reading the following interesting item taken from the Philadelphia Press:

Every body who is in the streets at a late hour of the night, or early in the morning, may notice indivi luals about the fronts of restaurants, bote's and barrooms, gathering from the air.^i-i ami gutters the stumps of cigars that have been swept out or emptied from spi forts, and will wondir what pos-iblo can be miide of them, 'for the benefit of pipe smokers and tobacco cheweis. wocnii give soiuw information on that sul.jo. I here are a number of establishments in this -ity to which this filthy refuse is taken and sold, and where it goes through the following process: It is washed/dried in the $un or over a a fire,placed in a small packages and sold as a supt-rioi quality of tinezut shewing and smoking tobacco of various fancy brands. The quantity of "old soldiers,'' as the boys call them, tnus gathered, remodeled and sold every day, i- almost incredible.

ANOTHER REMARKABLE CURE.—Mr. B. Mishler—Dear Sir: Last night I was taken with a severe.gripping pain in my stomach, which was soon followed by a violent diarrhoea and purging, with every symptom of Cholera. Becoming very seriously alarmed I took several heavy doses of your valuable Herb Bitters. Indeed, I was so frightened* that I did not attempt to regulate the quantity I took, but drank it freely. Strange to relate the gripping left me, and the diarrhoea and purging caused, and this morning I feel perfectly well, although, of course, I am rather weak. To all othets who may be attacked as I was, I heartily recommend your Herb Bitters, for I am positive that there is no remedy in., existence that,,.can.equal it in curing all cholera symptoms.
