The new court house at Mount Vernon is
pulled page full by the Evansville Journal,
which says: The total cost when completed
will not probably exceed S75,5O0. We can
safely aver that Mount Vernon has the most
beautiful court house in dissection for any
approximate to the price. Indeed, g - eat
many people fusist that in point OF arcnit &C.
tural style and finish, and general appe ar
ance, it surpasses the Vincennes court
house, which cost over s250,000. And our
neighbors appreciate their possession, and
proudly point to the edifice as entirely de-
serving all the praise it has so cordially re-
ceived. The county offices will all be re-
moved to their new quarters about the 10th
of August.

OF arrangements, had an alteration with al
| Irishmsn named Richard Maggie, lately from
Brooklyn, n. Y, during which Eitel wa
knocked down by Nagle. Rising TO his feet
| Eitel drew his revolver and commenced
firing right into the crowd surrounding hi
antagonist, and it is wonder that severs
persons were not killed. The first sho

sent him tumbling up the platform. Th
third shot hit the top of one of the coaches
