We have ii letter from our lndianapo-
lis correspondent "Verus,' but can
find room i'm this issue for ouly a part
of it, as follows:
Your readers may not all have heard
of the explosion which occurred in the
Union depot on LAST Sunday night.
Most fortunately il occurred ut time
when there were few people IN the de-
pot. else the casualties must have been
frIghtful. The locomotive which FIX
pluded WAS standing close beside one
that had just arrived on the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Indianapolis r''ilro I'd i.
There was Il rushing sound, swish Of
steam. and almost instantly the whole
end nf the depot WAS a mass of brick
and mortar rubbish. and section of
the roof had dropped upon the two To-
comotives. Tie whole west end of the
depot was gone. the doors and windows
were blown out of the dining hall, glass
was broken out as far back as the tick
ct office. and the appearance OF things
generally was of the sorriest descrip-
ton. The engineer Of the G. IL. u |.
locomotive was instantly killed, and
the fireman very seriously injured; but
what is very singular is that the engi-
neer and fireman of the locomotive
that exploded, both escaped withoutany
injury AT all, though they state that
they were on the engine when the ex'

plosion occurred. They claim also
that there WAS plenty of water i'm the
boiler, and the pressure less than usual.
These statements do not seem probable.
Under such state of facts the explo-
sion could not have occurred, and if
they had been on the engine at the
time, they could not have escaped un-
hurt. A far more reasonable SUPPOSE
ton is, that these two men, discovering
the danger, and that the explosion was
about to occur, fled from their posts
just in time tn escape its effects. Work
men were put at work early Monday
morning rebuilding the shattered struc-
ture, and it will not be long before the
depot will lie as good as ever.

Gentleman George" Pendleton's
memory is somewhat treacherous. He
knows he received eighty or ninety
Thousand dollars for engineering the
Kentucky Central railroad claim
through the department. But this is
only a small matter of $4,000. such
little affair to him. We should like 10
hear from Democratic newspapers ON
this subject IF PendletOn's fee. Strip
it of all glitter and it stands thus. He
swindlrd the government by getting
through claim that was unjust; he
swindled the heirs of the estate of
which he WAS administrator. Cheating
his sister and her children, they being
the largest owners Of the railroad stock,
and he swindled the railroad company
of which he was President. i'm which
capacity he should have done for it all
he could honorably do, without any
other charge than the liberal salary he
was receiving.

dreds of the citiZrns of Putnam county,
he is asked to become again candi-

unte that in his answer, which is quite
lengthy, he consents to do 50. He has
had an experience in the House of
Representatives, of such length, that
added to his acknowledged ability,
would enable him to take at once Il
foremost position in the 18TH congress.

and useful member in the House,

committee oil Military Affairs gave

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophiea and
decaycd; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruif, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria. and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
