INDIANAPOLIS, Oct II, 1855.
indianapolis is a city which pleasantly
impresses the visitor from the outset. II
Is entered through one of the handsom-
est union station structures in the eoun-
try, and the first view Of its business
streets-cf substantial buildings. as a
rule, and Of attractive general effec.1giye
one a strong suggestion Of enterprise and
thrift. The residence streets, however,
and the occasional parks are the most
pleasing features Of the city Nearly ali
the streets are bordered with trees, and
some of them are laid out after the fash
ion of the French boulevards, with broad
grass borders intervening between the
sidewalks and the %driveways.
In the center Of the city-which, BY the
way, is the geographical centre Of the
state-is a circular park, in which is be-
ing erected a colossal soldiers monu-
ment, designed to be over 800 feet high
high enough, ] am told, to comfortably
exceed the height of the Washington
Monument Two blocks west from this
circle, Is the substantial State House, in
which the city takes reasonable pride.
and two blocks North IS University Park,
where General Harrison almost daily ad-
dresses large delegations Of visiting pill
grims who propose to vote for him in No
vember. 1t is estimated that considera-
bly, more thar 10000 visitors have been
addressed by him here since his nomina-
ton. The park contains many handsome
t.~. and, in the center, is a Characters

bordered by Pennsylvania street, anione
block east of this is Delaware street, out

hotels, and a walk which some hundreds
Of persons take every days the home
Of General Harrison. This portion Of
the street has the boulevard form and
the houses in this region are, as q rule,
large, costly, and in some cases arehi-
iecturaliy very handsome. Gen. Hsrri-

Travelling Frauds.

The past month has furnished a
couple of illustrations of the manner
in which communities are humbugged
by travelling peddlers and also of the
great desire that seems to dwell in the
hearts of many to trade with any but
home dealers. This town was recent
ly canvassed by men who offered for
sale a very attractive looking clock,
which was furnished at the remark
ably low rate of S12, to be paid for on
installments of one dollar per month.
Local dealers offer exactly the same
clock in make and style at $3.50. The
difference between the two sums,
$3.50, represents a very neat little
profit. Again, parties have been SELL
ing during the past week, from door to
door, patent, adjustable ladies' shoe,
in two qualities, at $3.50 and $3.50.
These shoes are sold for hand sewed
and French kid. We are informed
that they are neither, and as to the
price a local dealer offers to furnish
the same shoes at $500 and $3.50.
These travelling peddlers have no rent
to pay or clerks to employ and come
in direct competition with local deal
ers, who spend their money at home
Is it fair dealing7 Doesn't the golden
rule come in here somewhere Dc
those who get stuck in thus trading
need or deserve any sympathyf

AN ELECTRICAL STORM.
Conflicting Electric Currents Make Lot
of Trouble.


The scheme to organize the st.
Johnsbury Electric Light company
that has been tagging somewhat of late
was stirred into new life this week by
some unforeseen events. Some $l2,-
600 of the $4,000 stock desired had
been subscribed on the condition that
when the stock was all taken COM
mittee of the subscribers should be Sc
leeted to examine the various systems
in the market and to select the one
that proved to furnish the greater
number of advantages for the least
outlay of money. Last week the pa
per was called for by some of the sub
scribers, and Tuesday it was found by
some of the others, who began to smell
rat, that two of the subscribers had
largely increased the amount of stock
they had originally agreed to take and
that a supposed representative of the
we'll known Thomson Houston Electric
company had signed for the balance,
bringing the total up to the desired
$4,000. Inasmuch as the other sub
scribers had signed on the condition
that all companies were to be given
an equal show in furnishing the plant
they kicked at once and IA names,
representing seme $4,000 were crossed
off the subscription paper before night,
thus leaving the amount of stock still
short that amount of the desired sum.
The balance of the stock as above stat
ed was taken by B. G.. Howe, who in
creased his subscription of $500 to
$4,000; DR.. T. r. Stiles, who increased
his subscription from $500 to S250O
and w. A. Stiles, a cousin of DR.. Stiles
and manager in the Thomson -HOus-
ton company, who subscribed for $4,000
worth of stock.
The affair has created quite stir.
The original subscribers have no OBJ
lection to the Thomson Houston COM
pany coming here and putting in a
plant. Indeed, some of them have let
their subscription stand as it is, but
the majority vigorously object to being
scooped up by an outside company
thus early in the game. Whether the
Thomson Houston company will take
up the $4,000 more or less and go on
with the organization of the company,
or whether they will give it up and it
will go back into the hands of the orig
inal subscribers, or whether the whole
thing will fall through, remains to be
seen.

Railroad Notes.

General Manager Furber of the
Boston and Maine has issued an order
stating that the office of master of
maintenance of way of the eastern and
northern divisions is abolished, and
the construction and repairs on all
parts of the road and its leased lines,
except the western division, and the
machinery and car departments, will
be placed under the charge of a chief
engineer, with headquarters at Boston.
H. Bissell is appointed chief engineer.
George F. Hurd, purchasing agent,
will on Tuesday, May 1, extend his au-
thority as purchasing agent over all

Commissioner A. j. Shurtleff began
taking testimony Monday in support
of the allegations in the bill of equity
brought by the Boston, Concord &
Montreal railroad against the Boston

former corporation, and for the ap-
pointment of a receiver. Some ex-em-
ployes made rather strong statements
in regard to the present condition of
the B. G.. 81 M. road, which it is hardly
probable that the facts will warrant.

performed by means of small glass
tanks of water through which the light
was thrown. In the latter part of the
entertainment Prof. Bracket discussed
the question, care other worlds inhab-

and valuable information concerning

ject. Members of the association ap-
preciate these entertainments that are

Charles H. Sage, former secretary of

Business at the Agencies.

Commissioner John D. Miller makes
the following report of the business
done at the various agencies in Gale
donia county during the past year:
The amount of liquor sales in this
county during the past year is $500 !;
profit paid into the town treasures,
$1,000. The agents have been faithful
in the discharge of their duties, having
sold in small quantities, strictly ac-
cording to law. No complaint has
been made to the commissioner that
any agent has abused his license.
The towns of Barnet, Waterford,
Concord, Kirby, Lyndon and part of
Danville have no agents. These towns
are supplied from the St. Johnsbury
agent. When the amount of sickness
and the number to be supplied are
taken into account the sales show no
unreasonable amount sold from the
agencies.
[ would recommend that the agents
be paid better compensation for their
labor, or that the liquors be sold at a
less profit, as according to law, there
should be no profit made for the towns.
Commissioner Miller's suggestions
should be Immediately carried out.
The above figures show net profit of
nearly 90 per cent. on the liquors sold
in this county, a snug business profit
in itself, and an absurd thing on the
face of it. AS a correspondent in the
Caledonian stated some weeks ago, il
is bad enough for the town to be III
such a business, anyway, without be-
ing stimulated to continue it by a
profit.
AS to the suggestion that agents be
allowed more pay, we incline to the
opinion that this is also a good recon-
mendation. We understand that tie
St. Johnsbury agent has already sig
nified his intention of throwing up the
position because of insufficient pay.

The Weather.

The Weather.
There is no denying the fact that
this is an unusually backward spring
and the oldest inhabitants are already
bringing out their stories of past expe-
riences. The ways in the village are
settling slowly, but snow to the depth
of three or four feet can easily be found
without going outside the county. AS
seen from Paddock hill the White
mountains are true to their name, pre-
senting an unbroken surface of snow.
There are many pleasant days put in,
however, and the almanac says that
summer is coming.
