81 CLEANING UP.-We are glad to
note that the work of cleaning up the
city: has been commenced. The mud
on Main Street from Second to Eighth
has been scraped into heaps, and
large portion Of it hauled off. Many
Of the alleys are full of ashes and 9TH
er debris and filth. The owners of
property would do well to have all
such things removed from the back
of their premises, as the city authori-
ties, we are pleased to learn, are de-
termined to put the city in thor
oughly sanitary condition before the
time for epidemic diseases to set in.
That time is close at hand. Set
about the work at once.
HORSE FAIR.-The people of Hen
derson County, KY, propose holding
grand Horse Fair at the Hender-
son Fair Grounds, commencing on
the Both Of May, to continue three or
four days, and to be open to the sur
rounding country.
There is in this section of Indiana
and in the regions of Kentucky ada
cent, great deal of very fine stock,
and if sufficient spirit is manifested
very grand display and highly inter
esting time maybe had upon that oc-
casion. a~ .,ss.ss.~.~,.r
oi CIRCUIT CoURT.-The grand jury
yesterday returned a considerable
number of indictments-for adultury,
keeping gaming houses, suffering
gaming, larceny, &C. Several unfor-
tunate liquor dealers paid fines into
the exchequer of Vanderburgh Coun-
ty.jc Heiss9aG aae ssgaE SEQ
Considerable civil business was dis
posed of, but no cases of especial in
terest were tried.
Henry Morriswas granted divorce
from Jane Morris, alias Jane Coulter,
on the ground of her being common
prostitute. , .---
The grand jury have about closed
up their business, and will probably
adjourn tomorrow.
Commemorative stated yesterday
that nothing had been done by the
committee of the First Ward in COL
1ecting money for the Southern Re-
lief Fund. We were so informed by
one who ought to know; but we are
pleased to learn that Mr.. Albert
Steinbach, member of the commit
tee, made prompt and thorough cam
vass of the portion of territory al
lotted to him, and has paid over to
the treasurer of the fund over S1OO.
Mr.. Steinbach gives us some inter-
esting accounts of receptions given
him by certain gentlemen, which
would go to substantiate the state
ments made by our evening cotem-
porary on this subject, but it is rather
delicate matter upon which to make,
contrasts of liberality, and we omit
them at present.

TEARING Down. . Workmen are
now engaged in tearing down a por-
ton of the foundation of the new
Opera House. The cause of this
retrograde movement was the fear
tina the foundation was not sufficient
" solid to bear the weight of the
massive structure that'is designed to
be built upon it. The inverted arches
were found to have been very imper-
fectly constructed. Reliable men
have now taken the work in hand,

CHURCH SocIABLE-The closing
entertainment given by the excellent
ladies of the Walnut Street Presby-
.terian Church last night was a crown
ing success in every particular. The
assemblage was unusually large, and
the receipts were much larger than
on any previous evening. The re-
freshments were sumptuous, elegant,
and abundant, fitting finale to the
series of delightful entertainments
given by those ladies during the past
few months. But the most agreeable
feature of the affair was the manifest
desire on the part of all to be pleas
ant, and have others feel so also. I'VE
really regret that the season is so far
advanced as to render it necessary to
suspend these delightful and we hope,
profitable reunions for a season, and
shall look forward with pleasant an,
ticipations for the return of Winter.

The "BIOckhcnd" Party.

The appropriateness Of the name given
to the Republican party, by its distinguished
leader, Hon. Horace Greeley, ought not to
be diTagarded by the Democrats How
ever much We have differed from Mr..
Greeley upon politics. his astuteness in
reading the peculiar characteristics Of in.
divduals and parties, We have never ques-
toned. Doubtless, his estimate Of the
Republicans, as party, has been long en-.
tertained Their faratical ahsurdities and
monstroas crimes, coold not have failed to
eui,e his indignation frequently during the
past few years but his partizan proclivities
have stiaed the exprcssion Of his true SEN
timents. 1t only needed 40 occasion, when
his spirit should be chafed by apph.
cations Of the psOscriptive lash to bis own
shoulders, to induce public declaration oS
his private opinion. "You are set Of
blockheads :" says II. G. We agree with
Mr., Greeley, fully and inasmuoh as the
great leader Of the party-not us-has
christined ii, We adopt the name The Re-

fence.

Many years ago the Legislature Of Ten.
nessee passed an act to organize the county
of McNairy, alias Snake. At that time the
country embraced in the limits Of Snake
was occupied by set Of back -woodsmen,
totally unacquainted with courts, jails, &c.
The county assembled at the appointed site
for the purpose of cutting logs, making
boards, &C., to build court house and Jail.
The only theme Of daily conversation, when
the men were assembled, was the court &c.
None Of them had ever seen court in sess-
ion, as yet developed. Each one would
give what his idea was Of court, &c. None
however, were entirely satisfactory, until
Bill Simpson was called on to give his ideas.
He said he knew all about court, that he
had had lawsuit in North Carolina. One
of his neighbor's hogs kept coming when
he fed his hogs, until it got fat One morn.
ing Ae got SO mad that he shot the hog. He
thought ii would not do to throw it away,
so he cleaned and salted it. Shortly after
his neighbor and man come to his house,
examined the smokehouse, and took him to
town and put him in little Office. About
thee months after that his man came and
took him to large room. A large man
sat upon high bench-a man was sitting
at desk-about dozen fine dressed men
sat in place that was paled around. The
man put him in pen that was just behind
them. He then called in twelve men, they
took their seats in box in front Of the fine
dressed men. The man that was writing
gave the twelve men book and said some
thing about Bill Simpsons and the State. Then
one Of them fine men read something about
Bill Simpson and the hog, and he and an.
other Of the fine dressed men had the big
gest quarrel you ever heard. thought
they didt't. 1t was Bill Simpson and the
hog, and the hog and Bill Simpson, and
sometimes Mr. Simpson, but very seldom.
After they quit quarelling, tho big man
talked awhile to the twelve men, and they
went out and stayed short time, and came
back and said something to the men at the
desk. Then the man at the bench said
something to the man that put me in tho
Office, and he took me ont and tied me to 9
tree, and commenced cowhiding me with
cowhide, and it made me so mad that
shook all the persimmons Of the tree.

PLEA FOR EARLY MARRIAGEs.-The Rev.
Henry Morgan lectured few evenings since
in Boston upon :. Young Men and Early
Marriage" The Herald of that city, the
next morning, gave the following elaborate
report of it: Text, Prov. 1922 Whose
fndeth wife fndeth a good thing and
obtaineth favor of the Lord Said the
speaker, nature, history and revelation de-
clare, : 1t is not good that man should be
alone He needs help mate wife is the
balance wheel, the regulator, the guardian
angel of husbands trust, confidence and
prosperity. Politically. socially. morally
and spiritually man requires wife, man
needs home. The Romans gave bachelors
no legacies. Corinth denied them sepulture !;
Athenians scourged them. In Plato's com
monwealth, at the age of thirty five they
were fined. Man is but half a man without
wife. In all your gettings get wife, and
never rest from getting till you get married.
Better live in an attic under the hallowed in
1uence OF wife than revel In palace of
oissipation. Man needs home. Marriage
Is n the legitimate basis of genuine home
LOOK at the deplorable condition Of the
young men of this city without homes
Doaruing houses are not homes. Here. men
ARC congregated with no eleyatinp society of
woman, no home influences, NO nlace for
mental or moral improvement. NO altar of
prayer, no angel of love. In Pbiladelnb;a
there are more homes in nronor,;nn - pH... 10
population than In Boston, hence Boston has
sn unequal contest in the battle of morals. y

BURIED AND REsuRREcTED.-Las Saturday
the large new snow plow of the Pacific Rail
road Company was cutting clean furrow
through six or seven feet of snow near Eml
grant Gap, travelling at speed Of well nigh
ten miles an hour, and burling great, pow
derry, fleece like waves to right and left, when
a couple of Cinnamon hove in sight, migrat-
ing to lower latitudes. by the line of the
road They prudently, and, as they sup
posed, safely made way for the putting. snow
heaving monster, by stepping so far aside as
to leave him room to pass. But they calcu
lated too closely. They left room for the
plow, it is true, but only got far enough out
of the way to form of their poor carcasses a
foundation for an immense furrow, and were
bur ed some ten feet beneath the wave like
mass. One of them was able to founder out.
but the other remained in his :. cold, cold
grave" until exhumed by the amused exhib-
itors of the snorting mountain monster
