SUDDEN Enthusiastically afternoon
we saw a body lying in the street in front
of Hiram Nelson's auction room on Main
Street, stark and stiff-lifeless and mani
mate. Our curiosity was of course ex-
cited, and we entered the room where
Brother Hiram so often tells his friends he
is "going, going" and finding the venera-
BILE chief within, we inquired why this
was thus and he replied mournfully,
she died with fit" Student" says we;
livery suddenly" said he. Then he pro-
ceeded: "He was here by the fire, when all
at once he was taken strangely. They
thought he was mad, and came and told
me so; told them to kill him. They said
they could not have the heart to do it.
They had been intimate friends, and had
loved each other. then told Tenvoorde,
who is reckone6 good on the kill, to go
and shoot him. He went, but it was too
late; his spirit had fed before Tenvoorde
arrived. The dog was dead" That dog
wore a collar too, and besides Nelson had
a muzzle at home for his use. Nelson is
full of grief, and those who pass that way
this morning will be likely to hear him
often repeat the solemn word" Gone"

Church Notices.

The Governors Message having crowded
out our usual Religious Miscellany we

glass, with roof whose pitch exactly
pleased my eye, and with an interior so
cosy and comfortable that / cannot help
here mentioning that my Old School Pres
byterlan friend, Rev. Mr.. Sterritt, is not
only It's minister, but was also its de-
signer."

visits our city next week. Friends of Mr..
Sterritt will be able, from this popular lee
turer, to learn more particularly about

Court Reports.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAs.-There was but
little of general interest before the Com
mon Pleas Court, yesterday. Two divorces
were granted, one dissolving the marriage
relation between Elizabeth Reed and John
G. Reed, on petition of the former. From
the complaint, 1t appears they were mar
RED in Texas during the war, and after
about five weeks they attempted to come
North. John sent her through the lines
and to this city, promising to follow her
soon, since which time she has never heard
70 him. Robert Hill for the plaintiff.
When we visited the court room. last
evening, Colonel DENLY was making an
elaborate and learned argument before the
court in the case of the State on relation
OF James F. Mcdonald Us. the County Com
missioners, for nsandanus or some other
order, to transfer the Office of Trustee of
Armstrong Township from w. Pruett, the
present incumbent, to James, who claims
to have been legally elected to that high
dignity. 1t appears Pruett had been ap-
pointed to fill vacancy, and when the
regular time for holding an election came
James Mcdonald was elected, filed his
bond, but the Commissioners, at the in
stance or Pruett, declined to vacate, not
being willing to yield up the honors and
emoluments of the Office. Hence the suit
to eject. Both are good Democrats, and it
seems strange they have such tenacity to
hold office. Fiat JtGstttta, if it costs the
last chicken in the Southern Confederacy.
RECORDERS CoURT.-The Recorder did
nave few cases on Thursday, but they
were OF trivial character and our read
ers do not lose much by us falling to get
the particulars.
Yesterday German woman preferred a
charge against an African of the female
persuasion, for assault ana battery, strik-
ing her with wood-saW. The same par
ties We're before Squire Walker the other
day, and the German woman and her
husband were fined for an assault and bat
terry on the negro, and it is supposed that
there isaa little GOODNESS existing between
the two. The negro stoutly denied the
charge, but the evidence was against her.
and she was booked for 81 90 fine and

PosTPoNED.-Rev. Mr.. MiIburn did not
lecture before the Evansville Library AS
ISOLATION last evening as previously an
nounced, owing to failure of trains to
make connections. He has telegraphed
that he will lecture hereafter, but the time
is not set. Due notice will be given the
public before he comes of the time of his
lecture. This disappointment is greatly to
be regretted, as it .embarrasses the Library
Association, and is annoying to the peo-
pie. The Library Association have en-
deavored to make their arrangements as
perfect as possible, and regret exceedingly
this disappointment

WANT OF ROOM.-For the first time dur
ing the last year or two, the city wharf is
found to be too small for the business, and
this crampedness will be more seriously
felt in a day Or two, if the river becomes
more easily navigable. The square above
Main Street is filled with cotton from the
margin of the water nearly to the edge of
the street. Pork, sugar, molasses corn,
chickens and cotton monoponze the
square below Main Street, and the square
below Sycamore Street is in about the
same condition. The several wharfboats
are also nearly full of freight. The transfer
company were busy yesterday trying to re-
Iieve the difficulty by a constant stream of
drays. Some twenty-five in number, were
flowing to and from the depot, but the
space cleared of cotton was filled with
corn brought on the return trips. The ST.
Cloud is due this morning with nearly l.
500 bales of cotton more, and the Indiana,
Armada, David White, Liberty No. 2, Lau-
"a Fenton, Phantom, Chattanooga and ].
P. Webb, are all coming with more or less
freight. Where they will all find room to
unload it is hard to tell, as it is impossible
to reach the shore either above or below
the Wharfboats. The Louisville relieved
the embarrassment yesterday by taking
a large lot of chickens and turkey coops
aboard before she left for Newburg. She
and the Glasgow on their return will clear
up a considerable space, but that will
doubtless be at once blocked up with fresh
arrivals. This is, however, one of the eff
fects of being at the +" head of navigation"
and will have to be borne with christian
fortitude.

/" Sentinel-on-the Border" and to be

interests of the West and South, and

Il hope my friend McNeely will be-
have himselfD.
The Sentinel is not designed to come
into ruinous competition with the
Courier or any other newspaper, but
is proposed by me as legitimate and
proper business engagement.
It is needless, perhaps, for me to
say that it will be little "spicy."

SHIPMENT OF BOOTS AND Substituting
the three weeks ending January 3D., 1867, the
total shipment of Boots and Shoes from
Boston to this State have been 325 cases.
Of these, l55 cases have been shipped to
Evansville, As to New Albany. and the bal
ance to a dozen other different towns
throughout the State. The shipments at
this season of the year are always light,

one-half of the whole.
