TERRE HAUrE IRON WORKS.
Mr.. Geo. w. Haberly, who is in the
city, is not now connected with the
firm of Tuell, Ripley & Co., as we
supposed, but is President of the
Terre Haute Iron Works and Nail
Manufacturing Company. and is here
for the purpose of introducing these
nails among our merchants. We learn
that these works are turning out
about 400 kegs of nails of a superior
quality weekly. There is no good
reason why Indiana should not sup
ply not only her own people, with all
kinds of manufactures of iron, but
also supply large portion of the
trade of the South and Westm We
have a super-abundaL of the raw
material. Evansville should have a
nail factory, blasting furnaces, an ex-
tensive rolling mill, besides glass
works, and other manufactures.
Why don't she have them?

REPUBLICAN, MEETING last NIGHT.
In consequence of the exceeding I'M
pleasant weather, there was not
very large meeting at Turner Hall
last night, but for all that quite1a re
spectacle number of our German fell
low-citizens assembled at that place
to hear Or. Max. f. A. Hoffman. can
didate for Secretary of State, and DR..
Rhie1, of Illinois. DIR. Hoffman was
introduced by Mr.. Philip Decker, and
was most enthusiastically received.
DIR. Hoffman then proceeded to ad
dress his German fellow citizens in
his usual candid and earnest style.
Judging by the applause with which
his remarks were received, we would
say that his audience was well pleased.
DR.. Hoffman was followed by DIR.
Rheil, of Illinois, who spoke for some
time, his remarks receiving the hearty
applause of his German fellcW-citi-
zens. 1t is to be regretted that the
weather was so inclement; but for all
that. a good work was done last night

\ JOINT DISCUSSION AT MT. YER
NoN.-On Monday the joint discus
sion between General Veatch and the
Hon. w. E. Niblack took place at
Mount Vernon. The meeting was
large, and the best of feeling pre-
vailed An unusually large number
of voters were in attendance at the
meeting. Mr.. Niblack spoke first,
General Veatch replying. The meet
ing was in every way highly satisfac-
tory to the Republicans, who feel con
fident of larger majority than was
ever given in Posey County for the
ticket. They are working with an
earnestness and zeal that will surely
be crowned with success. At night
General Veateh and Mr. Edison spoke
to large audience in Leuning's Hall.
General Veatch's remarks. were re-
ceived with the greatest enthusiasm.

A Patent Rescue Coffin---A Burial
and Resurrection

As a general thing, when man is
buried there is supposed TO be an end of
him, or at least of his mortal remains, and
he is not expected TO trouble his friends
any more but gentleman ofthe name of
Franz Nester, considering this to be a
very narrow view OF the matter has in
vented what he calls patent rescue cot
fin, whereby any individual who may have
been thrust beneath the mould before life
is extinct, may give warning of his exist
ence and demand to be unearthed and re-
stored once more to the bosom of his fam
lily and friends.
Recently Mr.. Vester gave an exhibition
at Jones Wood, New York city, of his in
vention, in the presence of about five hun
dred persons. The grave, which had been
already prepared, was six feet deep. At
a few minutes after 4 o'clock the coffin
was brought out and into it Mr. Vester
stepped with more alacrity than could be
expected of man about to submit tame
ly to so grave an experiment. Being
comfortably settled in his coffin, and a
wreath of flowers having been placed
around his head by young lady, the cof-
fin lid was screwed down, the rescue ap-
paratus adjusted, and the whole lowered
into the grave. The earth was then
shoveled in by half a dozen stout laborers,
a requium was performed by the band,
and Mr. Nester was left to his repose
Previous to the commencement of the
experiment, friend of Mr.. Vester's cx-
planned to the spectators the modus OPT
randi of the apparatus, which may be
briefly described as follows. The coffin
is of the ordinary shape, but rather more
roomy than usual. The lid has sliding
panel, and over this, after the coffin has
been placed in the grave, is lowered a
wooden tube or shaft, which fits in the
Aperture caused by the sliding back Of
the panel. This tube extends to the sur
face of the ground, and over its top is
placed a small wooden monument, to
which air and light are admitted by prop
er aperatus. Within the monument are
gong and speaking tube Should the
he can call assistance by pulling the
string attached to the gong, and on the
arrival of any one at the grave he can
communicate with them by means of the
speaking tube. The apparatus is intend,
ed for temporary use only. After all
chance of termination has ceased, it can
be removed. the sliding panel of the cof-
hin put back, and the grave restored TO its
ordinary appearance.
On Saturday Mr.. Vester remained in
his coffin about one hour and quarter
and, on those present to witness the ex.
pertinent calling for his temperance, the
monument was removed, and Mr.. Vester
elevating himself through the tube
stepped forth. He did not appear to be
at all deccmposed or discomposed by his
soiourn under ground. A medical gen.
tleman present examined his pulse, and
found it to be but few beats above the
normal standard.
/ Whether Mr.. Vester's invention be-
comes popular or not, it may certainly be
said Of it that it is simple and ingenious
and perfectly answers the purpose fol
which it is intended.

DAMAGE ny THE RECENT FREsHET
AT Fort EDwARD.-The recent freshet
inflicted probably the severest damage at
any point on the Champlain canal at Fort
Edward. At this place the canal passes
over an aqueduct built of solid masonry,
and in the most substantial manner By
the freshet the creek which runs through
the village of Fort Edward and passes un-
derneath the aqueduot was swollen to
such an extentas TO rise above the walls Of
the aqueduc.t, and sweep along the tow
path on the east side of the canal, washing
away seventy or eighty feet of the en-
bankmcnt and about two-thirds of the
aqeduct. A large force of men was imme-
diately employed to repair all the dam
ages and all the repairs will probably
be completed in eight or ten days. The
estimated damage by the freshet, between
Fort Edward and Whitehall, is about
S125 900.

DIDN'T WANT To NE BuRiEp.-Ev-
erybody has heard the song which mar
rates how an Irishman died and staid
dead till the whisky was passed around at
his wake, when he forthwith came TO life
and demanded his drink with the rest. A
similar incident in real life has occurred
in Virginia, il We may believes u Norfolk
paper:
A. il was reported that a certain gen
tleman had died, and WA to be buried ON
Saturday evening, quite a number OF his
old friends and acquaintance repaired TO
his house TO pay the last sad tribute OF re-
speet by following his remains to the grave.
Is the death had heen sudden, the coro-
ner had been summoned; and when his
duties had been performed, the remains
we're placed ON an extemporized hearse,

house were extended 10 those present In
the shape OF good stiH brandy julip to
10 each, the better TO enable them TO un-
dergo the fatigue Of the long march to the
new burying ground. While the pail
bearers, who were standing by the hearsc,
were slowly slipping their iulips, and now
and again giving the goblets q slight shake
TO settle the ice in them, noise was heard
in the coffin, which turned some faces
whiter than they had been for years be
fore. Finally the undertaken for the oc'
casion mustered courage enough 10 un-

told, up sat the supposed corpse, and cool,

The New YORK DEMOCRACY De-
PREssED.-"John Paul remarks respect
ing the present mood of the New York
Democracy:
Our Democrats, strange to say, are not
very jubilant over the result in Maine,
though apt to get "red hot" when refer
ence is made to it. They are not betting
as much as they were-and that is to say
that their confidence is at the very lowest
ebb, for never since the campaign COM
menced have | seen any money positively
put up that Seymour and Blair would
win.

dates are exposed in shop windows, that
