A GREAT DRY GOODS HOUsE.-One
of the most extensive and enterpris-
ing wholesale houses in the city, is
the mammoth dry goods establish
ment of Carpenter, White & Baker,
corner Of First and Sycamore Streets.
The building comprises a double
store-room, three stories, with deep,
light and well ventilated cellar or
basement, in which will be found
vast stock of sheetings, drillings,
bleached and brown domestics.
On the first floor is always
kept complete and large
stock of dress goods, comprising all
qualities, from the lowest priced
prints to the most costly fabrics, in
Guiding cloths, cassimeres and gen
tlemen's furnishing goods. The
second floor is filed with an endless
assortment of notions, gloves, hosie-
~, cloaks, &C., &C., while the third
story is devoted exclusively to hoop
skirts and corsets of their own man
ufacture. Their stock is complete in
every particular and is always
kept so by one of the
firm being constantly in New
York to make purchases, and
ready to take advantage Of the mar
ket, thus enabling them to purchase
at the lowest stages Of the market.
The gentlemen con posing the firm
are noted for their urbanity and great
courtesy to their customers, and they
employ none but accomplished sales
men. Their sales during the past
year have been unexampled in a
house just established, and is rapidly
on the increase.
Mr.. Baker viii leave for New York
in a day or two, and will introduce
two new styles of hoop skirt, manu-
featured exclusively for this house,
and which are claimed to be vastly
superior to anything now in the mar
ket. Their corsets have taken the
premium wherever exhibited at State
or County Fairs. Their extensive
advertisement in the JOURNAL is an
index to their liberal views in trade,
and one of the secrets of their great
success. We cordially commend them
to the trade throughout the West and
South.

NEW METRoPoLITAN = Another
large and fashionable audience greeted
Miss Fanny Price on Saturday night
at the New Metropolitan. The second
presentation Of" Nobody's Daughter"
was greeted with enthusiastic applause
throughout. Miss Price as the French
girl, was certainly inimitable She was
well supported throughout, and the
verdict of those in attendance was
that she is an actress of superior
ability. 1t will be gratifying to the
public to learn that Miss Price and
Mr.. Hanchett have concluded to re-
main a few nights longer.
Tonight will be presented the
thrilling drama of Lucretia Bor-

mond, a distinguished young actor,
will make his first appearance on the
boards in this city tonight.

ExCITEMENT.-A good deal of ex-
element was created on Saturday on
Main Street, in consequence of a
pitched battle between two Infatuated
animals of the poreine species. Not
less than fifty people gathered around,
and bets, on one or the other. were
freely offered. Companions of the
author of the celebrated Jumping
Frog" must have been in attendance.
Betting is but tangible way of back
ing ones judgment, either on horse
race or hog fight. IF the one is
respectable, why not the other?

DoINGs OF THE GREEN-EYED Mon
sTER-THE FAIR FRAIL ONES ON
THE RANIPAGE-ExCITEMENT ON Lo-
GUST STREET A DIsGRACEFUL
SCENE ON THE SABBATH.-Last Satur-
day night, the police state, quite a
mum Der of the fair frail ones from
different parts of the city, met at a
notorious brothel, on Water Street,
and INDUCED in general drunk. Just
how develish and disgracefuI the pro-
ceedings were, it was impossible to
learn, and it would be improper to
publish it ifthe facts were obtained !;
but the maudlin revelries were kept
up for the greater part of the night,
it is said, and on yesterday morning,
keeper of " socia! evil " house, in
Lamasco, in company with another
of the frail sisterhood, visited
a bawdy house, on Ninth Street,
and had slight set to, in
which one of the parties engaged had
her haIr pulled out, and her crlnollne
generally disarranged. 1t was a case
of jealousy, the green eyed monster
calling aloud for vengeance. While
the police were investigating the mat
ter. another Infatuated female, who
was in search of her paramour, spied
him from the street car window,
walking on Locust Street. A scene
was then enacted which beggars de-
scription. The faithless lover started
to run, and the degraded female after
hims The chase continued from
Fourth Street up Locust to Sixth,
when the man, being the feetest on
foot. became lost to the sight of his
adorer. This disgraceful scene was
looked upon by hundreds of people,
and those who witnessed it say that it
was the most disgusting affair ever
seen on the streets of Evansville.

SINKING OF THE STEAMER MATE
From Mr.. E. S Babcock we learn the
following details of the sinking of the
steamer Mate, at Nine Mile Rifle. in
the Wabash, and the subsequent
sinking of her barge, six miles below
Vincennes.
The Mate left Mount Carmel on
Monday evening, aud landed at the
foot of Nine Mile Rifle after N I'M
successful effort to ascend the rapids.
About FIVE o'clock on Tuesday
morning all hands were aroused by
the ery.--:. The boats sinkingR WThe
freight consisted Of 116 barrels dried
fruit.912 barrels clover seed. lot Of
pigs, hides and sundries was got on
shere without damage. The boat
sunk until the water was about one
foot over her main deck. The next
day she was raised, and with part of
her cargo on board and the balance
on barge, proceeded to Vincennes.
Abo1t six miles below Yincennes the
barge struck snag, and sunk in
about forty minutes. Before the
barge sunk they got as much of the
freight off as possible, leaving thirty
barrels dried fruit, six barrels clover
seed and lot of hides on the barge
or fiat, which was full of water.

SERENADING.-There were several
serenading parties out on Saturday
night. The beautiful moonlight and
the pleasant weather had a tendency
to inspire the young gents, who are
unsteady inclined, to WOO the fair
ones they would win, with songs in
the "stilly hours of night"
DEFERRED AGAIN.-The trial of
the parties charged with keeping a
gambling house, which was to have
taken place before the Recorder
on Saturday, was again deferred, and
set for Tuesday. The reason for the
postponement was not learned.
The CoURTs.-There was not a
single case before the Recorder on
Saturday. and at an early hour the
Recorder closed up his office for the
day, no doubt congratulating himself
that all was quiet. Justice Stinson
heard and determined two or three
civil cases not important to the ger
eral reader, while Justice Walker adj
Indicated a similar number, and JUS
tice Emery one civil case. The con
stables report little doing in the way
of collection OF debts through the
Justices Courts.
