There is apparently disposition on the
part Of the state board of agriculture to in
vite the hearty cooperation of Indianapolis
in working up the exhibition Of the present
year. They have given the committee ap-
pointed by the guarantors voice ana
vote in all things, and these gentlemen are
taking an active part in the daily delibera-
tions of the present session. This spirit
should be met half way, and the two inter-
ests be made to mingle harmoniously in the
work in hand. Businesa men of this city
cannot afford to let others occupy the mag

SQUAT,
HOW GANG OF ROBBERS WENT THROUGH =
MISsIPPI RIVER STEAMER

HOW GANG OF ROBBERS WENT THROUGH 4
MIssIPPI RIVER STEAMER
The New Orleans Picayune gives this
graphic account of a steamboat robbery il
appears that the steamer Ellen D., which
left here some months ago. fitted out for a
trading expedition by Messrs. Krantzfass &
Gerson, was tied up at Point Jefferson. on
Beuff River, during the greater part of last
week. They had been doing pretty good
business, and left satisfied with the result.
On Friday, however. just before dark, five
men, whom none of the traders had ever
seen before, came on board at nearly the
same time. Some of them had crossed the
river, others had ridden down to the land
ing by different approaches. No two arrived
together. yet all arrived within the space OF
fifteen minutes. They were handsomely
dressed, good-looldng men in every in
stance, and there was striking air of intel
ligence and refinement about them. With
the exception of this prevailing similarity,
they seemed to be quite unknown to each
other, bent on entirely indepehdant errands,
and only assembled thus by the most unsc-
CO onntable of accidents, They were sitting or
standing about. as all customers on a trade
boat are in the habit of doing. One, a par
ticularly handsome fellow, had just bought
and paid for pair of bools another was
rejoicing in new hat others were contem-
plating diffe rent purchases, and everything
seemed to be going on as Hsual- Suddenly
the handsome man cast his eves-around, and
said, in low, clear tone '' Shall wei" and
instantly the other four started to their feet.
" Ready" they all answered, and quick as
thought, their pistols were drawn, presented
at the heads of the clerk, salenan, pilot and
engineer of the hapless boat, and the laconic
but suggestive command was given
squat" 1t was done like lightning. Be-
fore those unsuspecting traders quite COM
pretended the state of things they we're tied,
blindfolded and lying helpless on the floor.
The five elegant looking gentlemen then
proceeded below, where the four deck hands
were subjected to asimilar operation. After
this the real business of the day commenced.
1t transpired that the five gentlemen knew
each other quite intimately, for they laughed
and talked in the pleasanIest way, while
they went through the sales and the stock
of goods, taking all the money-about one
thousand dollars-and such OF the goods as
were at once valuable aud portable. Their
selections in the latter--which, by the way,
evinced the greatest udgment-amounted
to $500 and upward. After accomplishing
all this with neatness aud dispatch quite
remarkable, the party made of at a great
rate, and were far advanced on their road
when assistance came to the disconsolate
victims on board the Ellen ID.

The power of the prophet and the sword
Gideon are surely inspiring the children of
night. simultaneously with the temper
ance eruption in Indiana and Ohio, the New
York papers report the text OF a striking
measure introduced into the Legislature,
looking to the suppression of intemper-
ance. The bill is peculiar, however.
Its object is to compel the sale of only
pure liquors. ]. ID. Townsend, Esq, of New
York who is the author of the bill, holds
that the law is as competent to prohibit the
sale of adulterated liquors as of dis
eased meats. The details of the bill are a
careful provision to carry out effectually the
main purpose of the law should it pass.
There is to be ip New York city a board
of twenty-seven chemists. to be known as
the board of liquor examiners of the
city of New York. They to have
twenty-four assistants. These officers
sAave power to prescribe the standard for all
kinds of liquors sold. to enter and examine,
ard confiscate, if necessary, impure goods
end to punish offenders. Dealers are tied UP
very close to the requirements of selling a
good article, and punished with fine and i'm
prisoument for delinquency. There are sew
eral features about such law which com.
mend it. To begin with, no dealer, whole
sale or retail, can make open objection, he
cannot ask the right to sell
poisonous nostrums under the
name Of good liquors. So that
he is bousd to support ana defend the law.
Suppose, then, it is both enacted and carried
out ia letter nd spirit as nearly as may be
what is gained. Very much. A great part
of the trade is stopped instantly, for it is
we'll known tina almost all the current
liquors of the trsele are spurious. Much of
it is vile and poison Gus in the extreme. Fine
liquors would cost more money and could
not be retailed at the same prices, which
would have the effect to reduce the number
of tipplers. Thirdly.it cannot be denied that
although the nse of intoxicating liquors
of the best quality as injurious, the vile
of the trade are incomparably
more so. There will be col 'troversy on this
point, as some may contend that the more
fatal the better. Yet it does lot appear that
such is good reasoning. The advocates of
this bill make very strong cas- for the di-
ofintemperance by the nse only OF
a pure article of what is purported to be sold.
Among all the schemes to restrict intem- |
perance, none is less Objectionable tha n this
to all classes, and fair trial of such law
would be an instructive experiment to say
the least. - J

The bride was and has been for several
years, orgsnist OF the Presbyterian church
of this city, and her absence from that
place will be sadly felt by
the congregation, by whom she was
much loved, as was evinced by
the handsome present from them to her on
last New Years day fully described in the
Sentinel at the time. 1t is unnecessary to
give a description of the toiletts ofthe ladies'
The bride was the recipient of many hand

AHALF MILLION SUIT.
AND A NEW WAY TO ADJUDIcArE 1T


The Kentucky bridge company, of this
city, says the Pittsburg Post, contracted for
the building of the great bridge over the
Mississippi river, at st. Louis, some years
ago. The price agreed to was s., ,0O0, 600. In
order to reach solid rock the contractors had
to excayate l6O feet below the bed of the
river to start the foundation for the piers.
The bridge has already cost the company
over $40, 600, 900, and is not yet finished. Dur
ing the time the bridge has been under con-
struction many Changes and alterations.
have been made from the originsi plans, and
out of these the complication has arisen.
For these the Keystone company were to
receive compensation. The Illinois Il St.
Louis bridge company haye, from time 70
time, advanced money on the estimate of
the engineers, but large sum is
now in dispute, to settle which both
sides finally agreed to a novel plan of
settlement as follows: To submit the mat
ter in controversy TO the arbitration of two
persons, one to be judge of the facts and the
other OF the law, their decision to be final.
Mr. James Park, jr., of this city, has been
selected to determine the facts, and the Hon.
Stanley Mathews, of Cincinnati, as Judge of
the law The board will meet at the Mo-
nongahela house, in this city, and will enter
upon the discharge of the duty assigned to
them. The terms of the agreement require
a decision within sixty days. The amount
in dispute is over $500, ,O0O which the Key
stone company claim is due them on account
of changes in the original plan, while the
Illinois and st. Louis company claim over
$500, GOO for oetentions, etc. Sol. Shepley,
Esq, of this city, represents the Keystone
company, and Messrs. Lover and Shepley of
st. Louis, the Illinois company. On account
of the immense sum involved, and the novel
method of adjudication, the result will be
looked for with interest.

lline and due consideration have counter
acted the hasty works of the House on the
bankrupt bill at the beginning of the ses-
sion. The Senate bill passed that body Tues
day contains such notifications of the law
as will avoid the abuses, or
some of the most fragrant ones, at least,
and. vet give an even chance
to the creditors of an insolvent firm. There
is even reason to suppose that the House
is by this time prepared to countenance
carefully guarded bankruptcy law which
will meet with the general spprobation of
business men and everybody, except per-
haps that class of attorneys who confine
themselves, or arc confined chiefly to the
collection of debts.
