Last night, between the hours of
eight and nine o'clock, the dwellers
in the neighborhood of Sixth and

on tne street, ana touua tne cry to

' Just after four o'clock this morning
we were awakened by John II. Popp
running past our door, down to Engine

at the top of his voice. We looked
out and taw the tops of the houses in
our neighborhood lighted up in a
brilliant manner, telling too plainly
that a! fire was raging in the vicinity.
On going to the place we found that
the sheds, wood, etc. around and near

; We deny the charges and insinua
tions, and' pronounce them falc in '
substance and fact. We presume you
have reference to the purchase," by -a
"citizen," of a judgment against the
company in favor of Jones & .Louly
lin, of Pittfeburg. The facts are sini-
ply as follows: Jones !i Loughlin
furnished-,. .the iron for the road and'
we; paid' for about half of the fame
last fall, and the balance came due in
the midst of the panic, and failing to
collect stock subscriptions then due
we cculd not meet the debt as a com
pany, and were under no moral or le
gal obligation to pay it as individuals
the company being a corporation,
regularly organized under" the laws of
the State. At this tima a "Citizen's"
subscription of $1,000, together with
some others, were unpaid more than
sufficient in amount to have paid this
debt. Some time in December, Jones
& Loughlin sent their agent here to
collect the mouey due them. We
frankly stated to hiin the situation of
the company. We told him we would
1 pay as soon as we could possibly col
lect our subscriptions and convert
other, asset.-, and promised all- the
company was worth to pay its debts,
and if that failed, then we would make
an assessment of the stock. He agreed
to renew t he paier and give more
time, but failed to do so. In order
that all .ur creditors might be on the
same footing, and have the same se
curity, we executed a mortgage to all
our creditors, including J. & L., on
AL L the property, real and personal,
that the company owned; also, the
franchise of the company. We at
once notified J. Si L.but they refused
to accept under the-mortgage, and
brought suit in the United States
Court at Indianapolis in December,
and obtained judgment in March.
On the 16th day of July last, the
United States Marshal, by virtue of
this judgment, sold at public sale all
the real estate of the company subject
to this mortgage, (or the uomiuai sum
off 187. Iu the mean time the com
pany brought suit against a "citizen,"
and others on their subscriptions, and
obtained judgments against them all
in the February term of the Wayne
Circuit Court, for principal and inter
est. The judgment aga nt that cit
izen was for $1,037, which he refused
to p:iy, and has appealed to the Su
preme Court.
On the 18th day of July the United
States Marshal stopped the busiuets
of the company and sold its personal
property, consisting-of cars, horses,
harness, &c. Notice was given before
sale ly attorneys of the mortgages,
that all purchasers would be held re
sponsible tinder their mortgage. At
this sale the plaintiff bid in two cars,
three horses, and three sets of harness,

company bid iu, ou his jersonal re
sponsibility, four cars, ten hoists, and
seven sets of harness, at l,70't, and at
once put iu: operation again the. busi
ness of the company the interrttpiioa
of which was a great inconvenience to
the public. These sales of real and
personal property aggreg-itc f 2.788.
which has been credited by the Mar
shal on the judgment (4.623) against
the company leaving yet due on judg
ment $1,835. , Now, a "citizen" open
ly claims that, he has purchased this
judgment against the company; that
he purchased it at a discount; that his
object in buying it, as stated by him
self and his son, was to make back off
of the company his subscription of
$1,000. He ak claimed to have
bought, of plaintiff (he two cars, three
horses and harness, for 1.000. The
horses and harness were replevied of
himrand ou the 9th day of August
(being in the midst ot the fair) anoth
er son made oath that said property
belonged to him, and replevied it
from the company, who held it for the
mortgages; and the mortgaro a the
same day replevied it from that son
and made father , and both sons par
ties to the suit. And to make the
mauer worse tor mem. and more
troublesome for the mortgagees, two
of
the horses were run off to Ohio
and mere replevied Ironi the party
who held them, and were returned
that night to the railway stables, and
the next morning turned over by the

Donn Piatt, describing a visit to
a cosmetic establishment in this
cily, says:
."What," , we asked, .."are the
articles that go to make the beau
lilul woman?"
"Well, first of all is the vegetable
enamel, perfectly harmless, that
gives the most delicate white I
may say dazzling complextion
known to the female world. See,"
he continued, taking a China pot
from Jtbi Counter, "tlus is . put on :
easily with a small sponge. Permit
me. madam; it is soon removed
and" leaves no trace," and saying
this, he applied a small quantity to
the forehead of our companion
The result on the face of a clear
brunette was startling.
The perfect marble smoothness,
and at the same time the satiny
texture, if we may use such an ex
pression, was marvellous. Then
he toot another sponge and ap ;
plied a most beautiful blush, a rose
color, upon the white, that was
perfectly charmiDg' in its natural
and soft flush.
"And now,,' .he went on, "here is
an exquisite instrument with which
we; trace : the delicate blue veins
thatv when done, defy the micro ?
scope of science."
"But how is' it possible to make
the new face and the old shoulders
match?
"By making all new. The face,
neck, shonldei s, and arms have to
be treated all alike."
"And does the artificial process
end hero? ' we asked.
"Oh, not at all; we are only just
! beginning. Tho eyelashes and the
eyes; have to be treated. The eye
brows received especial attention.
We cannot illustrate w-ith you,
madam; nature has done so muck"
He might well say this, for it is
only once in a million such beau
tiful eyes, eyelashes and brows are
given a woman.
He called to a young lady of the
establishment and said. "Miss
Blank, will you permit me?"
She r pleasantly assented, - and
taking a small . ivory L tablet , be
placed it under the eyelashes of one
eye, and then touched them dex
terously and at the same time with
the most delicate art, lie made t!ie
lashes so decided,' so pronounced,
they seemed to actually grow.
He then pencilled the brow, and
when done the effect was most
decided. The young lady was a
blonde, and with one eye treated
and the other not treated tho re
suit was very decided.

''Not at all. WTe give a delicate
tint to the ear, a rosy, steel color
to the nails. We have powders for
the teeth; we leave nothing uncared

Wayne Hovev, editor of
Mr.
Bergh s paper,
relates how he had
a little inn witn a dog, wnicn nrst
led him to consider the subject of
cruelty to animals. "It was on
Fourth of July, several years ago,"
says Hovey; "and the clog's name
was : Spring. He was about the
meanest- specimen of a cur-1 ever
knew mangey, bow legged, and
yellow at that. But he had a pair of
eyes like black beads, and what he
lacked in natural talent he made
up in practical experience. My
father liked the dog because he
waa useful. He drove the cows up
in the morning, kept the boys out
the water melon patch, and was a
terror to tramps. But the dog we
celebrate brought a disaster to our
house, or rather barn, which I shal
never forget. We boys had f
grudge against spring lor rous
ing the family when we came home
late at night, and boy like we pro
posed to pay him off. My elder
brother had bought a bunch of the
largest sized firecrackers- a kind
that I do not see nowadays ant
Spring had been induced by many
fair promises of meat to accompany
us up the road, about a quarter of
a mile from the house. Here he
was ruthlessly seized, and before he
could turn to bite lie was pinned to
the earth by at least a dozen hands
The next thing he knew he had not
less than a hundred firecrackers
fastened to his tail, which were
lighted, and he was released. Nev
er did dog make better time for
home. Every time he jumped he
yelped, and every time he yelped
firecracker exploded. . He reached
the house some time befote we did,
and in the excitement of the day
was soon forgotten. It was not
long, however, that we were per
mitted to forget him. In less than
half an hour the old gentleman s
barn was discovered to be on fire,
and wheu the flames had reached a
point at which we gave up all hope
of saving the building, the dog
crawled out from beneath the un
der pinning. In his fright he had
carried the firecrackers with him
into the hay and set lire to the
barn. He came off with a singed
fail, and father lost 3,000 by the
fire. I looked upon it as a sort of
judgment, and have ever since been
more careful in my treatment of
animals."

A private letter from a gentleman
in Texas, to his brother iu this city,

man was saved from being hung in
San Antonio, in that State:
About a month since a colored
man killed a white man, in a fracas,
in this place. ' The colored man
was very much alarmed, knowing
that, should he be caught, he would
be hung to the nearest I ree con
vemenyor th purpose, ' there be
icg no hope for a lair trial in this
section. A friend of his, hearing
of his situation, 'went to see him, in
his hiding place, and promised for
consideration, Tot money of.
course to give him a powder,
which he 'should take when lie was
captured, that would prevent his
being hung or shot The poor
man, believing : it to be a charm,
readily paid the sum demanded,
and received the powder, which he
was to swallow when there was no
other hope.
The next day the man was dis
covered in his hiding place by a
crowd of white men, who were
determined to carry? out the decis
ion of Judge Lvnch, and were
about to han? him to a tree which
they had already selected. Tho
prisoner, with great reluctance, yet
having faith in the power of his
powder,' was taken to the tree, and
when all fhe arrangements were
made, he took the powder from his
ocket and swallowed its contents.
The effect was Quickly seen, as he
fell dead immediately. Cincinnati

a human volcano; she lit up the
stage with blazes of emotioral
lightnings, as the electricity con
tinually lurking in the depts of the
crater illuminates the nethermost
gloom, and at the end the lava flood
poured forth in fiery splendor, and
the leaping flames awed while they

Mr. Morgan's new lecture, "Hid

The New' York ' Observer re
mark concerning the Louisiana
rebellion : "Such a demonstration
as that which took place . in New
Orleans last week, contemplating
the shedding of blood and result
ing in the loss of mnny lives, was a
crime against society and against
government This is true whether
there was any giound or not for
the complaints of the insurgent
party.
A New York State Quaker was
found in a patch of grass behind a
fence looking at a circus processipn,
and ' he turned it off , by asking,
"Friend, hast thee seen the king '
bolt of my wagon around here?"
"Oh, have you heard the news
from Maine?' It grows better and
better. Governor Dingley's ma
jority is now 11,119, or two thou t
Band bertter than last year. '

New Orleans, October 12. A 1
fight occurred yesterday noon ' at !
old Vicherie Road Store, St. James
Parish, between the Bovee and Ho
gan Republican factions. One party
had assembled to ratify a compro
mise with the Conservatives, when
the other interfered. The result
was a free fight, in which several
were wounded.'' . None were killed.
Governor Kellogg received the
following dispatches, which are re
ferred to the Advisory Board: m
St. Martinkville, La., Oct. 12.
To Gov. Win. P. Kellogg: V: '

intimidation reigns supreme at

fifty White League cavalry were
under arms, six miles above here,
last night.

The way men put off important
matters to the last moment is one of
the curious things in nature. ". The
fifth concert in aid of the Public Li
brary of Kentucky was advertised to
take place August 10th 1 he d; y af
ter,' the 11th. Gov. Bramlette, the
mma?er, at Louisville, received over
$50 000 for tickets. Had the drawing
taken place at that time, the Gov
ernor would have had to send this
monoj'i back, but as the Concert was
postponed to November 30, it was all
right with .them. . We presume that
on the jfirst day of December next,
the day fter the Concert, thousands
of dollars will be received, one day
too late, for there' will he bo further
postponement. This money might
just as well have been sent a week be-,
fore, as when it was. ,
