A SURPRISE AND -CAPrURE.-Last
night, just as we were about to retire from
the lahors of the day to seek the rest we so
much need, we were surprised by the
sound of delicious music, and, upon at
tempting to leave, we found our retreat cut
off by crowd of brave men and fair la
dies. We surrendered at discretion, but
were soon relieved from all anxiety by,
being assured that ii was loyal Republican
music; and the "Star Spangled .. and
other patriotic music, executed III an I'M

the compliment most cordially, and hope
they will call again. ,fe.-t tt.

JUSTICES CoURT-Before Esq. StiYson.-
Charles Austin had a hearing, yesterday,
before Justice Stinson, on charge of lar
ceny-stealing some SlS worth of :arpen-
ter's tools from the flooring mills of Messrs.
Hunnell & Sons.
The evidence was of such a character as
to justify his Honor in holding him to an
swer in the sum of $500, in default of which
he was sent dewn to Castle Darling, to rus
ticate, until Judge Parrett shall empannel
his grand jury.
Before Esquire Walker. On Tuesday
night hospitable gentleman, DESTROYS to
accommodate his friend Henry Bartender,
who had come to the city to attend the
meeting, and not having room in his own
house, fixed mattrass in a house that was
unoccupied, but which had been rented by
his aunt. Bartender took possession of
this couch. But misfortunes often over
take the good. Henry Rease, the owner of
the house, discovered the intrusion, and
ordered him out, and Casper Shilhauser,
as the friend of Rease, assuming the pre-
negatives of police officer, threw Braben-
der and his couch into the street. Braben-
der yesterday filed a complaint against
Rease and Shilhauser for assault and bat
terry. Justice Walker adjudged Shilhauser
guilty, and charged him some 81 or IS for
his interference. Rease was discharged.
Shilhauser will have a hearing to-day
before the City Recorder for having as
sumed the prerogatives of police officer.
The whole affair was unfortunate.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder of new Med
ical System! The quantitarlans whose vast
internal doses enfeeble the stomach and
paral we the bowels, must give precedence
to the man who restores health and appe-
tite, with from one to two of his extraor-
binary Pills, and cures the most virulent
sores with box or SO of his wonderful and
all healing Salve. These two great Specif-
les of the Doctors are fast superceding all
the stereotyped noStrums of the day. Ex-
traordinary cures by Maggiel'S Pills and
Salve have opened the eyes ofthe public to
the inefficiency of the $50 cailed) remedies
of others, and upon which people have so
long blindly depended. MaggielS Pills are
not of the class that are swallowed by the
dozen, sand@ which every box full taken
createsran~ absolute necessity for another
One or.two sof4Maggiel's Pills suffices to
place the bowels in perfect order, tone the

gripping and no reaction in the form of con-
Stipation. If the liver is affected, its func-
tions are restored; and if the nervous sys-

quality makes the medicine very desirable
for the wants of delicate females. Ulcerous

THE MURDER OF MONDAY NIGHT.-We
learned, yesterday, some further particu-
lars of the murder perpetrated on Monday
night on the person of the boy Ingle, of
which we made brief mention yesterday.
1t appears, from the best information that
we can get, that Ingle had come into town
on mule, Monday evening, to participate
in the torchlight procession, and left his
mule at Wormstead's, on Fulton Avenue.
Upon returning to that place after the de-
monstration was over, he found that
young man named John Heilman had
ridden the mule Off as matter Of sport,
and Ingle INDUCED, perhaps, in some re-
marks more emphatic than f1attering;
when Jim Stewart, a friend of Heilman's,
and a man named John Brydon, but better
known as Rusty" took the matter up,
declaring that no man should so speak Of
their friend. At this time Heilman re-
turned and, hearing what had been said,
took part in the quarrel. Pistols were
drawn and fiourished in menacing man
ner. At sometime during the affair, Ingle
was struck by both Holman and Brydon
with slung shots. Presently Stewart and
Heilman commenced shooting. Ingle re-
treated into the alley, and next morning
was found dead on a doorstep. Stewart,
Heilman and Brydon We're arrested on
Tuesday evening and lodged in Jail. They
will have a hearing before Esquire David
son at the Court House this morning, until
after. which we refrain from any remarks

RECORDERS COURT. - Notwithstanding
the unusual excitement for the previous
two days and the unusual number of peo
pie in the city on Monday night and Tues
day, the police officers reaped meagre
harvest on Tuesday night. And yesterday
only one malefactor appeared before his
Honor the Recorder, and that was case of
plain drunk, and, he being hack driver,
we have no doubt, considering the charac-
ter of his profession and the conditions of
the weather for the previous As hours,
could, we have no doubt, if permitted,
made adefence equal to that of the distin-
gnished Colonel Moreau's. But like lit
tie man he made no excuse and paid his
little bill of fine and costs, amounting to
81 or S5-a small affair.

NEW SToRE.-We have neglected calling
attention to the new Wholesale Liquor
Store of Messrs. SoNNTAG & GAMBLE, on
First Street. They have brought on a
large and varied stock of liquors, particu-
larly adapted to the retail trade, and our
personal acquaintance with Mr.. John
Sonntag's business qualifications satisfies
us that the new firm viii be prompt, ac-
commodating and untiring in their efforts
to please customers. Persons wishing ar
ticles IN their line VIII do well to give
them trial.

FIENDISH ACT.-Our readers will not
fail to remember that in 1862, when it was
known that Governor Morton was expected
to pass over the E. & G. r. R. on an extra
train, en- route to Tennessee, to bear, relief
and encouragement to the brave men of
Indiana just after the terrible battle of
Shiloh, that a freight car was placed on a
switch at Sullivan, in such manner as to-
occasion a collision with the extra train,
and which resulted in the death of Miles
j. Fletcher, one of the most noble young
men Indiana ever produced. That the de-
sign was to kill Governor Morton, no loyal
or sensible man ever doubted. But the
guilty parties escaped, and afterwards shot
and killed an enrolling officer in that VII
cinity. The same fiendish spirit of murder
and assassination still exists in certain To-
calities along that road. Governor Morton
left here on Tuesday evening on the extra
train for Vincennes. This train met the
mail train at Patoka, and when at Miller's
Station, four miles this side of Patoka, ran
through pile of cord wood-about half a
cord = but which, fortunately, did not
throw the train off the track.
There is little doubt but that the wood
was placed on the track for the purpose of
throwing off the extra train, and killing
Governor Morton, but the fiends had made
a miscalculation in the time, and were
little too late to effect their diabolical pur-
pose. The mail train was heavy, and
knocked the wood out of the way. When
the mail train passed up yesterday morn
ing, the wood had all been removed. and
not stick was to be seen. The wood had
evidently been~carried some distance, as
the Company have no wood pile within a
mile or two of that point. The Company,
yesterday, issued bills offering liberal re-
ward for the detection of the scOundrels.
No punishment yet devised would be equal
to the demer1t of the crime. itf-

in worse than ever before. On the south
east side, the bank has caved in to the
curb stone, by Wheeler & Riggs, and on the
other side nearly as bad. The chasm pre-
sents promiscuous mass. We presume
work will be resumed to-day. Yesterday
a drain was dug through from the first to
the second excavation, and the large body
of water that had there accumulated was

SABBATH SCHOOL FAIR.-The Episcopal
Mission School Fair, our readers should
bear in mind, takes place this evening at
Mr.. Robert Ruston's, corner of Eighth and
Vine Streets, at Z o'clock.
The fancy tables will, We understand, be
mainly filled with artic es for our young
friends, while the refreslment tables will
be amply supplied with delicacies for
children of larger growth.
This school was established some three
years ago by the then Rector of st. PauIs,
the Rev. E. Birdsall, as the nucleus of q
second Episcopal congregation, and as
through private munificence, in the cree
ton of church. That object is on the
eve of being accomplished. We anticl-
pate for the Fair large attendance. May
not other religious bodies take a note of
this? Schools first, then churches.

who own farms on the low bottoms along
the river, that vast amount of corn will
be destroyed if the river continues to rise
The water is now to the tops of the low
banks above the city, and slight rise in
addition will send it over broad expanse,
principally planted with corn. That the
river will rise two or three feet yet there
seems no cause to doubt, as, at last ac-
counts, il was rising at all points above
