The great draw Of the season occurred AZ
Chicago last Monday and resulted as could
easily have been foreseen. in the disappoint-
ment Of some 100000 persons, who have
voluntarily paid trbnta to t. II Crosby.
the ge:ter up Of the affair Mr.. Crosby
we believe. was comparatively poor a few
years ago, bat by lucky speculation in
whisky suddenly found himself worth .
half million or so. He built the Opera
House at cost Of about 5000 900 and
thereby became embarrassed to such an
extent as Ia cndanger all he had hitherto
acquired The days Of gift enterprises
were in vogue and lie conceived the idea
OF putting up the Opera House together
with sundry paintings as gifts in a lottery
selling 10000 tickets at $500 each.
The gifts including the Opera House were
rated at 81 COOS o0 although in fact they
were not worth more than 5000, 600 and
sales were made OF $500, 900 worth Of
tickets over the amount Of expenses Incl
dent to the enterprise, and he retained
about % ,0o0 tickets himself The result
has been complete success so far IS Mr..
Crosby is concerned. lie has, in ia ct
sold the house and paintings for all they
cost him and come out OF the affair some
SO 20 900 richer than be went intoit We
give below statement Of the drawing of
The first nine prizes, the Others ranging in
value from $1,000 down to Almost moth
ing. OF the first nine prizes Mr. Crosby
himself drew three, valued in the aggregate
at the sum Of S2S 900. Thus it will be
seen that the whole country from Maine
to California has contributed to the re :
lief of Mr.. Jrosby in his financial troubles
and saved him from the Fate OF bank.
rupt. The contributors, however, have
the consolation Of taking an occasional
look at cheap picture which each has
received, aud which will probably prove
a remembraneor of their folly and his an

The first nine prizes being the most val
liable, were of course the paramount OBJ,

FALMOUTH, INDIANA:

The prohibitionsis are still rampant at
Indianapolis. Petitions are being elrcula-
led in favor Of prohibiting the sale OF IN
toxicating liquors as beverage, and many
signatures it is said are obtained thereto.
Senator Cullen not long since introduced
bill providing for the appointment OF
guardians FOX habitual drukards, but thus
far it has not excited much attention and
few members seem to favor it, adoption
We suppose one reason to be that they
prefer 10 manage their own e'tates.
The liquor question has not yet taken
any very definite shape in the Legislature
aui although We are justice in supposine
that some radical measure will be adopted
yet the details are not agreed upon By the
advocates Of "a more stringent law.
We incline to the opinion that until the
present law shall be more generally
enforced, there is little need for 4 stronger
one. az it would remain almost dead let
ter on the statute book. If radical tenn
perance men would give assurance oftheil
sincerity. by enforcing the present law
they would. m our opinion, labor much
more efectually 70 suppress the evils oil
drunkenness than by advocating some i'm
practicable plan, such as seems to occupy
their minds. It is much easier and cheap
er to cali hard names, and abuse whisky
sellers than to prosecute those Who viola,'
he law.

The Legislature has ratified tho Com

known that 4 sufficient number If States
