FINE HARNEss.-We direct atteu-
ton to the card Of Messrs. Thornhill
& Son, on Second Street, between
Main and Locust, which will be found
in to-6ay's JOURNAL. They keep on
hand and manufacture to order any
kind of work in the saddlery and
harness line. We were shown,
yesterday, a magnificent set of
buggy harness, made for Mr..
George B. Viele, which will bear
comparison with the finest work done
in the larger cities. The mountings
are of oroide metal. We were also
shown a superb English Somerset
saddle, spring@barred, with steel stir
rups, made for Mr.. George Stookwell,
which is a perfect beauty. This is
one of the old, reliable houses of our
city, and we take pleasure in recon-
mending them to the public.

EVANSVILLE CHEMICAL WORKS.
Messrs. Cloud 81 Akin, the energetic
proprietors of the above house, are
largely increasing their manufactur-
ing facilities. They are putting up a
new article in this market, which is
known as Spalding's Jatamansi Hair
Restorative, the peculiar properties of
which are to make the hair grow
where it is bald. 1t is pronounced an
article long needed, and they have
already put up over one hundred
gross, and will soon be prepared to
supply the entire trade of the West.
They are having a new engine built
to put into their Laboratory, so as to
increase their manufacturing powers.
The demand for Armistead's Ague
Tonic is immense, and in less than
three years they have put up and sold
over 100000 bottles of this great rem
edy. The sale of Clouds Invigora-
ting Cordial is also very large.
We take pleasure in noticing these
evidences of Improvement on the part
of the manufacturers of our city, as it
shows what energy, industry, integ-
rity and printers ink can do, for this
house has always worked on the prin-
eiple that if you have got anything to
sell, let the people know it.

SALE OF UNCLAIMED Express
PAcKAaEs-The long advertised sale
of unclaimed express packages rams
pired yesterday, under the auspices of
Auctioneer Nelson. A large crowd
was in attendance, and the bidding
was quite lively. The sale occupied
almost the entire day, and as every
thing was sold without being opened,
nobody knew what they were bidding
on. Many amusing incidents oc-
Cured, and many persons were dis
appointed when they opened their
packages, expecting to ind a gold
watch, a silk dress, or something else
equally valuable. One individual
gave seventy-f five cents for a very neat
locking little box, and found it con
tanned nothing but cigar stumps. An
ofher paid 81 80 for a worthless SER
tiieate of two hundred shares OF
stock in some coal and iron company
in Ohio. Appointment photographer
invested So and got about twenty doz-
en- bottles of worm destroyer, several
dozen bottles of Ready Relief and
some other medicines. A lady got a
bundle of almanacs and a set of false
teeth for twenty-five cents. IA eorpu-
lent citizen of the First Ward paid
So 40 for four different packages.
The first n opened proved to be a
bundle of ~almanacs, the second a
small brand, the third a box, con-
tanned six bottles of hair restorative
by this tine the spectators began to
laugh-but as the last purchase was
a map, it was expected this would
prove a good investment at any rate,
but 10! land behold when it was un-
rolled to view, it was found to be a
picture. of B~radley's Duplex Elliptic
Hoop Skirt Factoryl This was too
much, and the mirth was uproarous.
Some few got the worth Of their money,
but only in rare cases. One gentleman
gave 81 % and got two pairs of cor
sets; another SO so for a trunk which
contained nothing but an old comfort.
Those who went there expecting to
get a fortune for a small amount,
were sadly deceived. Taken Altogether.
the sale was a success, and good prices
we're realized. .a.sas

ROBBERY AT MADIsoNvILLE.-On
Friday evening last, Frank. Byrnes,
one Of the employees of the estab-
lishment of e. @. Van Ripper & Co.,
expecting a crop of tobacco, had
placed in his pocket a sum of money
amounting to $142, and the tobacco
not arriving and the safe being closed
he retired to his room and went to
bed. Before midnight he was awaken
ed by his roommate, Capt. Christie,
who told him he had found his door
wide open. Upon examination Mr..
Byrnes discovered that his money was
gone and his watch chain broken,
but his watch was still in his pocket
and the broken chain fastened to his
vest. He also found the key of his
door lying upon the floor, having
been quietly worked out of the key
hole. On the same night several
other houses were tried, including
that of Mr.. Morton, the banker,
on whose door we're discovered
the marks of a file. 1t is manifest
that Madisonville, like our own city,
is infested with burglars, but such is
the fate Of towns having a railroad.

RETURN SoHEDULEs.-We advise
those who have not returned their
schedules for listing real estate, to
Immediately send them in to the APP
praisers. The returns have TO be
completed by Saturday. the 9th of
March, and there is only two days
more. The Appraisers have taken
pains to make a very close and care
full appraisement, and those whose
schedules are not returned, will have
to be listed to unknown owners.
which will cause considerable confu-
sion and annoyance to have them
Strengthened up again. This apprais-
ment will stand for five years, and the
canvass has been most thorough.
Those interested, had better give the
matter their immediate attention.

EXCITED.-Considerable excitement
existed in the city yesterday afternoon,
on receipt of the dispatches from In
~dianapolis announcing that the Demo
cratic members of the Legislature had
all resigned, in order to prevent the
passage of the Suffrage Amendment.
A large crowd gathered on the corner
of Third aud Main, aud a discussion
ensued, which considerably amused
the bystanders. At one point of the
dispute a gentleman exclaimed, Let
us have peacel" and the crowd dis
persed in a merry humor.

A SERIES OF BURGLARIEs. - The
residence and store of Mrs. G.. s.
Hammer, on Second Street, above
Chestnut, have been entered furtively
some three or four times within the
last three weeks. On one occasion a
pocket-book containing eight or nine
dollars was stolen; and on another. a
revolver was taken. On Wednesday
night a pane of glass was broken from
the front window, and several bottles
of periumery were taken out. A
negro boy, who had on one or two
occasions, been seen crawling into the
store on his hands and knees, of an
evening before the door was closed,
was arrested on suspicion, but upon
examining his mothers house moth
ing was found tending to connect him
with the burglaries, and as there is
no direct testimony to prove him
guilty, he will doubtless have to be
discharged.

RowDY BOYS. = Mr.. Hunt, who
drives the Newburg hack, while going
down Second Street, on Wednesday,
had a negro boy sitting on the seat
beside him, and about where Turner's
Hall stood, met quite a crowd of boys,
who Immediately commenced boot
ing and throwing at the negro; one of
the stones hit Mr.. Hunt on the head,
raising quite a confusion. Some OF
these young scamps will pull up in
the p%enitentiary.

THEN AND Now.-In looking over
the records of the city for 1859, we
noticed a report of the expense of
keeping city prisoners from the 18th
of April to the 31st of May, amount
ing to the enormous sum of So 20.
How does hat compare with the
modest sums of $13O to $3.50 per
month that it costs NOWADAYS.

A FAIR BUsINEss.-Notwithstan
ing the many complaints of dull
times, one forwarding and commission
house in this city has, during the
present season. shipped 22,183 bales
of cotton, 1900 sacks corn, and 1874
hogsheads of tobacco. This is a very
good showing, considering the fact
that there is a vast amount of cotton
still in the South, and the tobacco
and corn eason has but just opened.
