HEAVY DIPLOMATIC oRREsPoNDENcE.-The
first instalment Of Mr.. Stewards official diplo-
matte correspondence for twelve months prior
TO November, 1865, has just been published.
1t is volume comprising six hundred pages
and Is exclusively confined to our relations
with Great Britain, including correspondence
with the American Minister In London, ac-
counts Of interviews with the British Ministry,
matters relating to neutrality, Anglo-rebel
pirate ships and kindred topics. Mr.. Seward
possesses the faculty Of spreading an idea over
an illimltable amount Of letter-press. Some
times he obscures Q good thought, II he does
not entirely obliterate II, in q wilderness Of
words He would make thorough magazine
writer; one who receives pay more according
TO the number Of pages he writes than the num-
Der Of ideas he presents. He would be more
erudite were he more concise, and more states
manlike and diplomatic were he more disposed
TO furnish substance and facts rather than gilt
YER and generalihes. He would thus avoid
those vague, indefinite conclusions at which he
so frequently arrivea In this pioneer volume
Of his diplomatic correspondence for single
year our readers may form some conception Of
the ponderous character Of Mr. Stewards ofhcial
labors when his eight years Of service as Secre-
tary Of State shall have expired.

B6-It is fact worthy of note, that
but thirty-three cases for violations of
the city laws, disturbances of the peace,
&C.. we're tried by our venerable city Re-
corder during the month of January.
The record of crime and misdemeanors
in the city of Evansville, we venture to
say, is by far the smallest of any city
in the State, containing the same mum.
Der of inhabitants. 81
We have, too, large floating popula-
ton, hard river cases, &C., to deal with,
yet for allthis, comparatively few crimes
are committed in the city. A large
majority ofthose cases are for "drunks,"
either Ordinary" or extraordinary" "
and few for fights, and still fewer for
petit larceny. The total amount of in
come derived from that source, foots up
only sos 30, for that month, and at the
present rate of proceeding, this month
win show great falling off of business
in that line. These are facts of which
our citizens may well feel proud, and
speaks well for the government of the
city.

CHURCH DEDICATION AT VINCEEEEs.-
We learn that the dedication ceremonies
at the new Methodist Episcopal Church
in Vincennes passed off very pleasantly
on Sabbath. The dedication ceremony
was preached by Bishop Clarke. Sever
al of our citizens, including the Pastor
of tae Third Street Church, were pres
emit, and participated in the pleasant ex-
ercises. The sermon in the evening
was preached by the Rev. C. N. Sims
A collection was taken up, amounting to
about o., 800, which is more than sufi
cient to liquidate all the outstanding
claims against the new church.

who died in Buttenhaussn, in Ger

HoosIER AND KEsTUcK.-By looking
over our advertising columns it will be
seen that the old Eureka Bazaar has q
grand combination of talent, having
made draft both on Kentucky and In
diana for proprietors. This grocery es-
Enlistment has always been popular
one in our city, and the new proprietors
will endeayor to more than sustain the
credit of the institution. They propose
to sell groceries at wholesale and retail,
and, We have no doubt, win succeed in
satisfying all who give them call.
There is no reason why they should not
do az well by customers as similar estab-
ishments in Louisville and Cincinnati,
and they promise faithfully to do their
best These men are young and ana
bitious, and just the kind calculated to
give their customers bargaino.

- THE MIrE SOCIETY of the Episcopal
Church met last night at the residence
of Mr.. Henry A. Cook, corner of Oak
and Second streets. A large number of
ladies aud gentlemen of that Church,
and also of other denominations, were
present, and sociability and friendly in
tercourse were the order of the evening.
The host and hostess gave their guests
good cheer, and all present enjoyed
| themselves wen.
This is the last meeting of the Mite
Society in social way until after Lent
These gatherings have been held weekly,
at different residences, during the win
ter, and have been productive of much
good feeling, many new and pleasant
acquaintanceships, and a substantial
addition to the funds of the Society, and
also have benefited the Church under
the auspices of which they have been
held. 1t is hoped that in due time these
meetings may be resumed, as their infn
ence is altogether wholesome and
kindly.

D%On Saturday night last, man by
the name of Sebastian Winters was shot
in saloon on Third street, known as
the Workingmen's Hall, kept by John
Roener. $50
We heard two statements about the
shooting. One was that pistol was &C.
cidentaIly discharged in his pocket, and
the other was, that he was shot by the
bar keeper. 1t was stated that Winters
entered the saloon, and, for some alleged
cause, knocked the bar keeper down,
after which he was shot The pistol
contained buck shot, Eve of which en-
tered his left side and traced around the
ribs. making ugly thoughno dangerous,
wounds. We give both reports, not
having been able to learn which is cor.
rect, as it seems all the parties engaged
were intoxicated.

BOARD OF HEALTH.-We understand
that it ia the intention of the Board of
Health of the city to begin active o2e-
rations at once, and to take such steps,
and make such recommendations, as
viii insure thorough system Of polie-
ing the ..city at an early day. The
condition of our streets and alleys de-
mands the attention of the city author
tiles, and we are glad to learn they are
about to receive that attention.
We had conversation with DR.. Cas-
selberry, yesterday, Secretary OF the
Board Of Health, who has some sound
ideas about the system to be adopted in
policing. The Doctor suggests that q
squad Of eight or ten men be employed,
for each ward-or such districts as may
be laid out---and placed under charge of
some one who has knowledge of polio
ing correctly, and furnished with EN-.
phatic instructions as to the manner Of
performing that duty. The cleanliness
of the city is of first Importance to her
citizens at any time, and more especial
| " so since it is almost certain that the
cholera will visit MS the coming summei
season. With the present condition o
our streets and alleys and back yards
there would be little chance to escape
that dreaded disease in any part OF thu
city, however clean that particular par
might be.
1t is for the interest of all that thi
matter should be attended to at the ear
| Hest day possible, as hundreds of live
may be saved thereby. An expenditure
of money--even great it may be-fo
THAT purpose, would be far better ct thi
particular time than an investment in an
other way. The Doctors plan is sim
pie one, aud would work most efectua
| ", no doubt. So long as there are Gin
ply orders to the effect that alleys an
back yards shall be clesnsed, and i
made the business of every one living o
these alleys to do, or have the work Cons
but little progress win be made. On
will obey the orders, while q doze
would probably fail to 90 SO, and how
ever clean the premises of one ma
! might be, that of his neigh6or weult
perhaps, endanger the lives Of the Who'll
neighborhood.
The resurrection of the Board {
Health, and the determination to at ono
begin active operations, is an importar
matter to the city, and will no doubt b
attended with good results It is TO b
hoped that this matter Of thorough
Efficient and systematic policing will re
ceive the early attention Of our city at
thorities, and that the ordinances alread
made will be enforced, and even NOR
stringent ones made if found necessar!
It is not too early to begin the work nov
; AID it should be done early enough
allow the poisonous atmosphere to b
carried entirely away before the hot day
, come on.

FATAL ACCIDENT. Thursday evening
Mr.. James Clspp, a resident of Otter
Creek township, obtained permission to
ride home in q wagon going in the di-
rection of his home. The wagon had
no bed on it, only hay or wood rack,
and Mr.. CIapp sat on the hindmost axle
tree. On arriving at Mr.. Jacob Kern's
mill, about one mile north of town, the
owner of the wagon turned in towards
the mill, and Clapp, not noticing the
movement, lost his balance and fell, one
of the wheels passing over and dislocat-
ing his neck, producing almost instant
death. The deceased was about City
