EXCELSIOR STOVE WORKs.-We
neglected yesterday to call attention
to this new manufacturing establish
ment, which promises to be of great
benefit to the city. The gentlemen COM
prising the new company are all prac-
tical mechanics, and we are confident
will turn out work second to no SINH
lar establishment in the West Each
member of the firm has charge of
some particular part of the work, and
all will work to each others advant-
age. One has charge of the sales,
another superintends the making of
patterns; another looks after the
moulding, and still another after the
finishing. This arrangement ought
certainly to secure the manufacture
of excellent stoves, and we are conf
dent it will.
We call the attention of our read
ers to the Excelsior Stove Works, and
invite them to look at specimens of
stoves made at this establishment be-
fore purchasing elsewhere.

HEAVY STORM AT VINGENNEs.-
We learn. from gentlemen by yesterday
mornings train, that heavy storm Of
rain accompanied by heavy winds,
lightning and thunder, prevailed at
Vincennes on Sunday night. We no.
ticed at midnight heavy black clouds
passing in that direction, from which
the flashes of lightning were very
vivid and almost continuous. 1t is
rather singular that such frequent rain
storms pass us, and yet produce no
change in the atmosphere.

Justices Court.

BEFORE ESQUIRE STINsoN.--John
Snip was arraigned before Justice
Stinson on a charge of provoking
Alex. Simpson to commit an assault
and battery. Among other extrava-
gances on the part of John, well cal
culated to excite the ire of Alex, was
the throwing of a club that came
within an ace of striking and perhaps
killing Mrs. Simpson. After carefully
considering and investigating the
subject, His Honor decided that it
would require about $15 to heal the
breach made in the law, and 81 IS
to pay incidentals. John, who had
manifestly passed through other
hands recently, as he carried a dam
aged front, was either unable or un-
willing to liquidate, and was conduct
ed to the shades by Frank Morris.
Whether or not he thought better of
it afterwards we did not learn.
BEFORE ESQUIRE WALKER.-Hen
ry Mudrieh fled an affidavit before
Justice Walker against Charles
Holmes for surety of the peace.
Holmes had figured during the day
before the Recorder A warrant was
issued for his arrest, but no return
had been made when we left the Es-
quire's Office.

BOARDING THE LION IN HIS LAIR.
--On Saturday night some audacious
depredator entered the sacred pre-
cincts of Bill Green's bed chamber
and distracted from the pocket of his
pantaloons, his pocket book contain
ing ten dollars in money and some
valuable papers. The coolimpudence
Of a man to enter the room Of a
Wharf Master and Police Officer, and
steal his pocket book and money, is
rather refreshing in these dog days,
when the thermometer stands at nine
ty in the day and higher at night.
Bill says if the rascal will send back
the pocket-book and papers, he may
keep the money, and we should not be
surprised if he does it.

TELEGRAPH FROM LOUISVILLE TO
lOwENsBoRo.-The j. Z. McCombs,
on Sunday, brought down and dis
tributed, along shore, about 100 tele-
graph poles, for the contemplated line
between Louisville and Greensboro.
From this we are led to infer that the
projected line between those points is
fixed fact, and will be speedily built.
This is an enterprise in which
Evansville is deeply interested, and it
will not be creditable to the enterprise
of our citizens if the line is allowed to
end at Greensboro. Liberal offers
were made, we believe, by Mr.. Booth,
to extend the line to this city and Hen
derson, and we had hoped our people
would have entered heartily into the
undertaking, and secured its compile
ton to this city, that we might reap the
benefits, which are too obvious to re-
quire specification. We do not know
that it is too late to act, even now, and
secure these desirable ends. The line
will, no doubt, be extended directly to
Henderson from Greensboro, if our
people do not take steps to secure its
extension to this city. Every bust
ness man is interested in the matter,
and we leave it to their consideration.

RECORDERS CoURT.-An enthusi-
astic rooster from the dark and
bloody ground. not accustomed to
Evansville whisky, managed to break
into Jail on Saturday night, and for
his lark was required by His Honor,
yesterday, to plant S. in the city
Treasury, and to donate an additional
sum of Sc 95 to the officers for their
polite attentions.
Charles Holmes got drunk and took
fancy for throwing brick bats, and
made himself peculiarly disagreeable
on Saturday. on Water Street. A fine
of so with Sc Is costs, taught him
that se
"Such things could not be,
And overcome US like a thunder cloud,
Without some one paying for it,"
Charles is not yet through with it,
as officer Day was looking for him
last evening on a peace warrant.
A show window on Main Street was
broken in some mysterious manner,
on Saturday night, and one John
White being seen to run from the
vicinity as the crash was heard, His
Honor thought he should pay So into
the city treasury. Sc 80 for polite at
tentions shown him by officers of the
law, and a just sum to the proprietor
of the broken glass.
One or two other warrants were
issued, which will be heard to-day
probably.

SHOOTING AFFAIR.-We learn from

that a shooting affair occurred in
Kentucky, opposite that town, on
Sunday morning. Sol. Nesler, who
owns the farm, got into a difficulty

him, and was shot, the ball passing
through the body just below the heart.
Mr.. Nesler was brought to Henderson,

FIGHT AT NEwBURG.-We learn
that there was succession of battles
fought at Newburg on Sunday, be-

One of the Duvall men from Kentucky

himself outside of large number of
mean whisky after which he got
into fight with a Newburger, who
was sober The Kentuckian was soon
placed hors de combat. But rallying
his demoralized forces after awhile,
and arming himself with aclub, he, in
true chiyalric style, attempted move
ment on the enemy's rear, but the
movement was detected In time to
be successfully met and repulsed. A
second time the same movement was
attempted, when Newburger' mad
riz and he went in to win, and soon
knocked chivalry out of time, infict-
ing severe punishment upon him.
