INTERCOLLEGIATE bout two weeks
ago. the firm Of J. T. Lindley & Bro.
was formally introduced to the peo-
pie of Evansville. and now that they
are thoroughly domioiIed, a descrip.
ton Of their house seems to be in orr
der.
The store of Messrs. Lindlsy &
Bro. is divided into ten departments,
and the dividing lines are marked by
handsomely turned arches in the
shelving, on each side of the store.
On the left of the store, on entering
the first department Is devoted to fine
dress goods. The second to medium
dress goods, including ginghams, and
cotton dress goods. The third to fan
nels and dsmask curtain goods. The
fourth to dress silks, poplins, satins
and velvets. The fifth department
contains all manner of shawls, from
the cheap breakfast shawl to
the costly cashmere. The sixth
department on the right side of
the store, in front. contains notions.
laces and lace goods, the seventh,
hosiery aud gloves. the eighth, gen
tlemen's furnishing goods, the ninth,
cloths and cassimeres and the tenth,
bleached and brown table linens. On
each side of the store are drawers
under the shelves containing knit
woolens. bed spreads. white goods,
&c. while the second story, which
is reached by means of galIeried
stairway at the rear, is devoted 10 the
wholesale stock, from which the store
below is kept supplied and wholesale
bills sold. The store is very light, a
large arched window two stories high
lighting the rear, while the handsome
show windows furnish light to the
front.
The personnel Of the house is as fol-
lows: Messrs. J. f. and II. NJ. Lind
ley are the proprietors, and their as
sistants are Messrs. j. Ell. Kennedy,
formerly with Miller & Brinkmeyer,
Henry A. Gumberts and Andrew
Gest. of this city; Fayette Wallace.
of Princeton; Fred E. Jones. of
Henderson; @. A. Nourse, of Phila-
delphia, and j. o. McClintock, of
New Albany-old, well tried and
faithful employees of the house in
the latter city. whom they retain in
their employ.
The Evansville. Henderson and
Princeton names will be recognized
by many readers of the JOURNAL as
old friends. while those from afar
will speedily become well aud favor
ably known to dry goods buyers. The
new house is now fairly under way,
and already doing a prosperous trade.

The CampaIgn.

The meeting at Jacob Kissell's, in
Rowleytown, last night, was well at
tended, and, although it could not be
called q Uery large one, it was still a
very satisfactory meeting.
Messrs. Hargrave, Heilman. Hook
er, Warren, Decker and Pfaf1in each
made effective speeches, Billy War
ren's German speech being particu-
larry well received and heartily ap-
plauded. while Pfafiin's speech was
received, as they always are, with
hearty applause.
Mr.. j. d. Fair made one of the
most effective speeches of the even
ing, and when it is considered that
his experience In speech making is
confined to the present campaign, the
ability he displays is wonderful. Col.
j. F. Grill closed the speaking, when
the meeting adjourned.

IMPROVEMENT ON MAIN STREET
Day by day Main Street begins to
assume a more metropolitan air as the
old fashioned fronts are taken out of
stores, new ones substituted. and the
inside fitted up in a style becoming
the progress of the city. Among the
most remarkable Of these improve
ments is that of the new clothing
store of Mr.. NJ. Lyon. No. 81 Main
Street, which from an ordinary store
house has been transformed into a
palace filed with all that goes to make
up the exterior ofa gentleman, except
boots and nat.
The stock displayed is not the or
binary assortment of clothing, for
while he has plenty Of more substan-
tial goods, he devotes particular at
tention to fine goods and gentlemen's
dress suits made TO measure, having
now twenty -four hands employed in
that branch only, in which he does
much the largest trade in the State.
In boys suits his assortment ranges
from the suit for a child of two or
three years up to that of the youth
just entering mans estate, and in every
form, from the embroidered childish
dress of infancy. to the full dress for
the fashionable gentleman.
Having two other houses in Ken
lucky, Mr.. Lyons purehaseslare large
and hence at the lowest figures, which
enables him to sell good goods as low
as any eastern house.

HENDERSON FAIR.-Mr. VIM. T.
Painter. of Westchester, Pennsyl-
vania, writes to Henderson to have
suitable provisions for the exhibition
ofabout sixty of his celebrated Ohes-
ter White Hogs. If the exhibition of
other stock is to be in proportion, the
reader can easily Judge what the Fair
will be.
For the accommodations Of persons
attending. telegraph Office has been
established on the grounds so that
exhibitors may have communication
with the outer world.
Two steamboats, will run constantly
between Henderson and this city dur
ing the continuance, and every other

English's Scientific Washer, Manu-
fHctuFedeby Z. h. English, EVANS
Vile. Ind.
Among the most remarkable things
in the mechanical department at toe
District Fair yesterday were three
of Mr.. Enelish's Scientific Washers,
bearing the distinction of a premium,
which we understand is an evidence
of its great merits, wherever it has
been on exhibition. From what we
saw of its performance we think it
merits its honors, and is destined to
command the confidence of all inter-
ested in first rate washing machine.
That our readers may have some idea
of the novelty and superiority of this
invention, we cannot more correctly
describe it than to copy a paragraph
from the circular OF the invention:
This machine no more resembles.
nor in any respect looks, like any other
washing machine, than the Great
Eastern steamship resembles a ferry
boat. Is no more like any other ma
chine than the proudest steamer,
whose waves dashed the shores of the
Mississippi or foated a cork on. the
Hudson is like a keel boat. And in
appearance and executive operation is
as much superior to any and all 9TH
ers as the sun at high meridian is SUI
rperior to the feeblest star that twin
kles in Jobs Coffin, Orion or the
Milky Way. Or as the condor, the
proud bird of the Andes. whose strong
wing parts the storm and sweeps away
the tempest aud bears him quietly to
nestle in his eyre triumphantly above
the clouds, is superior to the linnet OF
blue.wiDg jay"
