TIE HEBREW ,PfCNfo.--The Arte-
sian Spring Park was the scene of a
mosts delightful holiday, enjoyed by
our Hebrew fellow citizens yesterday
At an early hour the street cars COM
menced carrying full loads of men,
women and children. and long before
noo beautiful grounds were full
Of nappy humanity. Large, we'll
filed baskets, accompanied the happy
ffirong. and were carefully stored
away till neon, when the delicious
stores were brought forth and en-
joyed with that keen relish that a
romp in the green woods always in
spires. Strolling along the winding
walks, flying swiftly around on the
&" Flying Dutehman," admiring the
beautiful fountains, rolling ten-pins,
playing billiards, and romping on the
clean soft grass constituted the pro-
gramme, and young eyes sparkled as
they never sparkled before, and many
young heart beat with bounding
joy, which it seldom, if ever before.
had known. The joy of the children
was largely participated in by the
parents and friends present, and even
the rain that prevailed during the
afternoon, for time, scarcely inter
rupted the enjoyment. All day long
the cars went oft crowded, and not
till late did the festive and happy
scene close. We know of no place
where a party Of this kind can so well
enjoy themselves as in the Artesan
Springs Park.

The FARE TO CALIFORNIA.-We
have been frequently asked what is
the fare to California by the Pacific
Railroad. A contemporary furnishes
US the desired information. The fare
from Cincinnati to San Francisco is
1858 20 in currency, which is GER
tainly an outrageous price, and people
who contemplate the trip would do
we'll to wait awhile. Negotiations are
already on foot that will doubtless re-
suit ia a speedy reduction of the fare.
The Pacific Mail steamers have al
ready lowered their terms. while nego-
tiations are going on between the Cen
trail and Union Pacific roads by which
fares Will probably be fixed to $100 in
currency from Omaha 30 San Fran
cisco. The distance between those
points is about !, $50 miles, and at the
amended rate passengers would pay
over FIVE cents mile, which is double
the average charged for through tick
cts on Eastern roads.

DIsAPPOINTED.-A special train was
run from Haubstadt to Patoka yester-
day, to convey excursionists to the
Sunday School Convention and Bas-
ket Picnic at Patoka. But the excur-
sionists were seriously disappointed,
as it rained hard all day up there,
and heavy hail-stOrm also prevailed.
It was wet, muddy. and disagreeable,
and the children did not even get a
chance to eat their picnic dinner. We
learned the above facts from Con-
ductor Lon. Bush, who had charge
of the excursion train.

BUSINESS DUaISa The PAST YEAp.
a short Summary.

We give below nearly a complete
list of the amount of goods sold in
this city by dealers who sell over $780,
900 worth per year. Manufacturers
have to make reports for all sales over
$1,000, Our list is not full, but we
give the business Of the leading firms
in the great staples. There are
large number of returns of sales by
manufacturers, but we did not have
the time to prepare it for to-day's
issue. 1t is a long and tedious job.
The summary which we give will
enable our readers to form an approx
innate idea of the business done in
this city. A very large number of
dealers, who sell less than so, 900,
make no reports, but they do a good
business nevertheless. For instance,
we have three queensware houses IN
our city, but only one reports sales of
$4,000. We have. also, four or five
hat stores, but only one makes reports,
and so on clear through the list. We
will, in TO morrow's issue give the
sales Of furniture and a few other
items that we have omitted.
The following figures have been
carefully prepared, and were taken
from the books of the Collector.
Under the head of groceries and
liquors." we include the sales of
liquors by the grocery houses selling
the same, and the exclusive liquor
sales are give under seperate head.
DRY GOODS.

MUSICAL FEAsT.-We had the
privilege Of enjoying a very pleasant
entertainment last night, at Music
Hall, over Warren & Conyngton' mu-
Sic store and piano emporium. 1t was
the occasion Of the exhibition of the
select music classes instructed by
Miss Anna Moore. comprising some
eigteen young misses. ranging from
eight to fifteen years. Although the
audience was entirely select, including
the parents Of the pupils and their
friends, the large hall was we'll filed.
The programme comprised some
eighteen pieces. vocal and instrument
al, all of which were very creditably
executed, exhibiting a degree of pro-
gress and skill that would scarcely be
expected in persons so young, and re
fecting much credit upon their in
structress. OF course, we could not
partieularize where there were so
many participating. The occasion
was one of extreme qualification to
the parents and friends of the pupils.
All, Gentle Boy" by Miss Ogden,
and "0ld Hundred on the piano
by Miss Moore, were admirably exc
cuted, and drew forth warm applause
and showers of bouquets. Notwith-
standing the room was oppressively
hot, no one could leave till the per-
Torrance was over, which fact of
itself was the very highest compli-
ment that could have been rendered.
Miss Moore has right to be proud
of her classes. and they of their
teacher. Miss Ogden, one Of our
most accomplished vocalists, rendered
valuable assistance.

REcoRDER's CoURT.-Only one case
was disposed of yesterday by the Re-
eorder, giving unmistakable evidence
that the warm weather has seriously
affected business. The name Of the
only sinner on the mourners' bench
was Matthias Kopp, who had been
enjoying himself on a pleasant drunk.
He was called on for So 40, and
promptly responded with the money.
A butcher was arrested for selling
tainted meat, but as he was the wrong
man, he was discharged.

A GREAT RAIN AND THUNDER
SToRM.-One of the heaviest rains We
ever witnessed fell last night about
ten o'clock Dark angry clouds had
been gathering all evening, the dense
black volumes of cloud being lit up
every now and then with lurid light
ming. The storm seemed to be gath
ering from every point of the COM
pass. The night was very calm,
scarcely a breath Of air relieving the
oppressive heat. About ten o'clock
the massed clouds opened a terrific
deluge, the ain pouring down in per-
feet sheets of water, and a heavy gale
springing up, drove the rain with
great violence against che windows to
the south aud west, while the light
ming became almost continuous. The
storm maintained its greatest fury
scarcely twenty minutes, but during
that time it appeared as if the very
windows of heaven were opened.
After the heavy rain, the atmosphere
became quite pleasant, but a gentle
rain continued until midnight.
BURGLARY. - From a gentleman
who arrived in this city by last nights

Rev. John Leach, a distinguished

than Methodist preacher ought ever
to be in possession of; another man
for 81, and still another for a fine gold
watch.
