PATENT ALARM BEDs-A LADY AND GEN
TLEMEN IN A PECULIARLY PERPLExING Pre-
DIcAMENT Those who have visited the Fair
at the Crystal Palace must have noticed the
patent alarm bed-a down east invention.
The purpose of these beds is to prevent
person from oversleeping himself, or if he
does not wake at the time the alarm is
sounded, the machinery operates in such
manner as to chuck him out upon the floor,
much to his astonishment For instance,
when a person wants to retire to bed, he
winds up an alarm clock attached to the bed
and sets it at the hour he wishes to get up.
At the appointed hour the alarm sounds, and
if the sleeper is awakened he may rise but
if he does not awake, the machinery of the
clock, operating on lever, upSetS the bed
frame, and the occupant is tilted out upon
the floor The bed is worthy the inspection
Of heads of families, who have the care Of
sluggards and sleepy heads.
We have a good story to tell in connec-
ton with one of those, beds, says the Uade
Sam, Bosting' paper A friend of ours
recently got married to a lovely and inter
esting young woman. In the house of the
brides father, where the wedding took place.
one of the alarm beds had just previously
been introduced The wedding party was
very large, fashionable, and, everything went
off with the utmost merriment the entertain
ment being Of the most generous kind. AT
length, the feasting over, and the hour Of
midnight past, the guests began to retire
and the lights grow dim in the house. The
old folks limited gently about sleep, and
the bride and her lord grew weary and inn
patient II was easily seen that they wished
to be alone, and the lady was accordingly
escorted to her chamber, to which blissfu
haven the bIushing bridegroom soon followed
her.
We will not attempt to draw picture of
what ensued, but suffice it to say that while
the interesting pair were in the midst Of one
Of their most interesting tete a teteS, click
| ing was heard and the astonished couple,
! the next instant, found themselves launched
on the floor in the middle of the room, fast
! locked in each Others arms, holding on like
COED fellows in n mOmentary expectation of
an earthquake. They survived the shock,
however. The fact of it was, the alarm
bed, had been assigned them for the nup-
tial couch, and the brides youngest brother,
the mischievous devil, Tom, had taken the
liberty to set the alarm, at what he said he
thought would be the auspicious hour
lie got his ears boxed the next morning,
and our friend has been suspicious Of alarm
/ beds ever since.

That Campaign Paper.

Capt. John L. Robinson, has by virtue of
his office as President of the late Old Line Con-
vention, appointed J. P. Dunn, Allen May and
p NJ Parks, committee to superintend the es-
adjustment Of an anti American Campaign pa
per at Indianapolis. As campaign papers are
generally issued from the Offices Of political
journals, and are matters Of personal specula-
ton, the starting Of a campaign paper by the
party at large, through convention, appears
to us little like the Old Liners had not much
confidence in their organ at the Capital. Is it
possible they think that the present editors of
the Sentinel cannot under even extraordinary
circumstances make great enough blackguards
Of themselves, or is it supposed that with the
necessary will they have not the ability to ac-
complish the large amount of lying end decep-
ton necessary for the well being of "Democra-
cy" in Indiana? We think John L. Robin
son himself should be placed at the head o.
this campaign paper. We believe he could
do enough blackguarding to supply any reason
able demand of his party besides admirably
fitting himself for the nomination Of the mex
State Convention, to an important Office. The
three gentlemen composing Robinson's com
Inittee, are Bank men. Will the Campaign
paper stick up for the anti-Bank resolution o
the Convention? Certainly not, if the com
mittee can have any influence with it. W.
shall look for this Campaign paper with con
siderable interest. The Sentinel should hau
the printing of it. at any rate even If its edi
tors are not permitted tostouch its columns

If rumors prove ,,true, things are taking a
shape in relation to our controversies with
Great Britain, that looks a little more warlike
than even the message or Senatorial orationS

was written, advices have been received from

respecting the enlistment question, which puts
the two parties in avery mcnacing attitude to-

These additional dispatches will not proba-

Another step towards move is about to be

treaty which recognizes the claims of that

in effect therefore is guarantee of the title to

Quarter Races : Riotings.

We had couple fine quarter races last
Wednesday, which produced some little ex-
ctement to spice up the general dullness. A
young man kicked up rumpus in doggery
on High street, Lamasco, and the proprietor
objeeting, Fox, the rioter, chased the landlord
out of the house. Not satisfied with this,
he chased him way up to Evansville as far as
Carpenters big buildings The poor man did
not stop running till he reached Squire Walk
ers office, where he found Ed. Martin and
Jim. McNett They went in pursuit Of the
obstropelous individual, whom they found in
Lamasco, rearing about without anything on
but his brooches, bidding defiance to the
blasts of winter as we'll as to mankind gene
rally. But when he saw the officers, he start
ed with one hundred yards the advantage.
Now followed beautiful race. All Lamasco
was out to see it, and as the biped nags passed
women and children united in cheering them.
Shirtless held his own well, but he hadn't
good bottom. Ed. with heavy overcoat, big
club and horse pistol, made capital race, and
promised on long stretch to overtake Shirt
less, upon whom he steadily gained. Mac
brought up the rear, and made the dust fly in
gallant effort to back up Ed. But when the
race was at its most exciting pitch, Shirtless
lodged into house, and hid himselfina closet.
| But the Fox was soon ferreted out, and led
away to the Squire's, where he paid the penal
/ ty Of obstropelousncss arrested in its mid ca
reer, with the costs affixed. This took all his
loose cash and a gun.
! Ed. and Mac few days ago arrested two
Canal boatmen for demoGshing or damaging a
house and other riotous proceedings They
were fined $40 each and costs. One of the
chaps, however, got away. For three days
and nights the official twain "hunted and hol-
lered'' for the missing man. But yesterday
morning, he was discovered by Mac making
4 tracks out of town with his carpet bag He
and his companion are now in JAIL Some Of
the Canal boatmen let themselves loose every
night, greatly to the detriment of the peace and
safety of the city. Ed. keeps that one eye oil
his on them. Night before last several houses
in Lamasco belonging to Mr.. HARDWOOD, were
cleaned out" They were occupied by aban-
doned women of the lowest grade. The riot
ers smashed all the windows, ripped open the
feather beds, and destroyed things generally
The officers were on the tracks of the fellows
yesterday. These little incidents SO to prove
that our city is not altogether so dull as many
good folks appear to suppose.

Compliments Of the Season.

There are some beautiful testimonials Of af-
fiction and admiration passing between the
Administration organs and the Catholic press,
Just about these times. The Baltimore Catho-
lie Mirror, one the most prominent papers of
its class in the country in its last number says:
Owe regard the present Administration as
one of the ablest and most trustworthy in our
annals" Now we have no objections to a
high church organ thus dipping in politics,
even at the sacrifice of some of its reputation
for common sense and common discernment--
but suppose leading Methodist or Presbyte-
rian or Baptist newspaper organ had just as
honestly remarked-"We regard the present
Administration as one of the most imbecle and
corrupt in our annals''--where would Old Line
anti American indignation have found words
strong enough to express its indignation at the
Church interfering with State, or at a preachers
daring to hold or publish an opinion on mat
tiers of State? We think any paper, whether
Catholic or not, has perfect right to express
admiration of the present Administration
but just precisely the same right have the pub
lie to believe, that the editor who speaks of the
Pierce Administration as zone Of the ablest
and most trustworthy in our annals" is eli

The Concert.

AS it will be interesting to many and due
to all of those whose liberality has contributed
toward raising the poor relief fund, to know
something about the circumstances connected

public understanding
thas already beenintimated that the concert

ansville Benevolent Association, an organiza-
ton which has now been in existence about
three years, silently, yet assiduously laboring
to alleviate the sufferngs of misfortune, and to
make its friendly influences felt in the cheer
less homes of abject poverty. The funds OF
the association have been supplied in various
ways, and in no small degree by the voluntary
contributions Of benevolent individuals, whose
purely phiIanthropic motives are to be read
in the entire absence of ostentatious parade
or boastful proclamation. Of their deeds of
charity.
With view toreplenish this fund, so as to
enable the association to respond to the press
/ ing calls incident to this inclement season,
the concert of Tuesday evening was projected.
And though but an impromptu undertaking,
), accomplished in only three secular days after
it's first conception; the members of the asso-
citation are gratifed to hear the general express
son of satisfaction, given by the performances,
and they return their hearty thanks for the
liberal patronage and encouragement bestowed
BIZ their fellow-citizens on the occasion. The
following statement will show the present con

WANTED BLOOD TO WADE 1N-One of the
editors of the Squatter Sovereign, Stringfel-
lows paper in Kansas wrote recently:
"In view of the existing state of affairs, the
Governor of Kansas has called out the militia,
to execute the laws. Men are hourly passing
our office with their guns on their backs 60
ing to the assistance of the officers of the law.
A large company, with two pieces of cannon,
have started from Atchison county. As both
of the editors of this paper are gone to the
scene of action, we have no time to enter into
further particulars. We anticipate blood
shed, and we, the junior, expect to wade waist
deep into the blood of abolitionists."

Fire.

Night before last about IL o'clock, a fire
broke out in the kitchen ola large frame dwell
ing occupied by Mr.. VIM. Cook, on Division
street between First street and the river-as
it is supposed communicated from stove pipe.
The alarm was at once given, and III a brief
space of time the engines were on the spot.
The Young America threw the first water.
The engines worked well and the companies
were enthusiastic. Some difficulty occurred
in obtaining water, but as proof that the fire
men did their duty, and were this time of prac-
teal use, the frame dwelling occupied by Mr..
S. Kahn, only a few feet from Mr. Cook. house
was saved, and the studding and board side Of
the former house, next to Mr. KS is still
standing. Mr.. Howe's little engine, "Siss,' .
was planted at the kitchen cstern of Mr.
kahn's house, almost against the fire, and did
admirable execution. The house occupied by
Mr.. Cook was owned by Mr.. Willard Carpen-
ter, and we believe not insured. 1t was a
large and substantial frame. Mr.. Cook lost
some things, and his furniture saved was Of
course much damaged in it's hasty removal
The furniture was insured for $500 Mr..
sKahn's furniture was also seriously injured by
being removed and the house considerably
damaged, so as to render it unfit for occupancy
at present.

Disastrous COMMUNICATIONS OF LIFE.
"A disastrous fire occurred in this city early
Saturday evening. The flames were first seen
issuing from the Wholesale Liquor establish
ment of w. B. Sparkes & Co., on Columbia
street, near Sycamore, extending to the store
formerly occupied by Mcssrs. Kellogg & Foot,
that too was consumed before the flames could
be extinguished, despite the strenuous exertion
of the engines and fremen. The hydrants be-
ing frozen rendered the work of extinction
very difficult The most melancholy incident
in connection with the conHagraton was the
accidental death of fireman, belonging to en-
CINE No l, and named William II. Videll who,
was crushed by falling timber. Sparkes &
Co.'s loss will not fall shert of 5000. We
learn that it is principally covered by insur-
ance The fire is supposed to have been the
work ofan incendiary.- Gin. Columbian, 14th.
