The concert given at the Baptist church last Friday night, by the Boston Mendelssohn quintette dub, was one of the best and most meritorious entertainments ever given in. the city, and when we say this we bat express the sentiments of every person who was in attendance upon the occasion. Each member of -the club was thoroughly- proficient, and performed the parts assigned in a most satisfactory manner.

Mr. Schade with the flute, Mr. Schnitzler, with the violin, Mr. Ryan, with the clari-nette, and Mr. Giese, with the violoncello, each showed skill and mastery in the use of these instrum ents not often seen in this part of the country.

Miss Marie Nellini favored the audience with several vocal selections which were greatly appreciated. Miss Nellini possesses a most beautiful and rich voice, which being under perfect and absolute control never fails to captivate her hearers. With an unaffected manner, she throws' her whole soul into her singing, and one never wearies of her song, but only wishes he could hear more of it. That the audience was no larger than was the case is to be deplored, but it detracted nothing from the merits of the performance, and we can only say for those who were not in attendance that missed a rare treat. "The Ideal Concert Company.

The IdealJubilee singers will be the next entertainment of the Star Lecture Course, on Wednesday evening, April 6th. This. will, be a rare treat for our people. The Chicago Times says "The Ideal Concert Company:" "A very large audience enjoyed the entertainment by Ideal Colored Combination last night, and probably not a person went away disappointed. The combination is, in fact, that as beentdainied for it, and merits every good word that has been spoken of it.

No other company, of colored singers Of which we have any knowledge has, ever achieved such' excellence in musical culture. Marie Selika would, rank among such artists as Kellogg were her blood of pure Caucasian strain. Mr; Joseph Brrndes Is is certainly a very remarkable violinist, and his playing last night was probabtythe best exhibition of the art ever given in the city" The Bangor Commercial says 4 is' worth- tWprice of alone to' beer TaUace KIngVthe celebrated tenor formerly of Hyerssis ters company i We doubt if anjncompany. receives as 'many complimentary 'notices as do the Ideal Jubilee singers.

As we have announced the Village of Ahtioch, this county, is stirred from centre to circumference over the proposed erection in that place, of the shops of the Wabash, St Louis Pacific railroad, and that they are to be located there seems no longer to admit of any doubt The company has already purchased of Daniel Saylerone hundred and thirty acres of land, and of Mrs Frank McKeever have secured four hundred feet the entire length of the farm, which is equivalent to about twenty acres.

West of Mrs.McKee-vers, two hundred feet have been taken from Joel Kramer's farm. In addition to this Judge Cheney has made! an individual purchase of the Hendricks' farm, which contains about one hundred acres. On all the above named lands, a part of the purchase money has been paid and all contracts made, and from reliable sources we learn that work on a round-house will be commenced at once and the same completed by the middle of August next. It is hardly probable that all the shops will be moved at once, but the company are looking to such action in the near future, and ultimately, no doubt, the principal shops of the company will be located at Antioch. We congratulate the people of that town upon their good fortune in securing so important an industry.

Baker, the tailor. The Constitutional Amendments. But a very light vote was polled in this county on the Constitutional amendment question, at the special election held the 14th inst. But little interest seemed to be taken in the affair throughout the State, and the reports so far as received everywhere show a light vote polled probably not one third the number that were cast at the elections last fall. In this county 2,055 votes were polled on the question as against 4,979 polled at the October elections.

The following shows the vote of the county on each one of the amendments: No. Yes, 1,496 no, 530. No. 2 Tea, 1508; no, 491. No.

yes, 1543; no, 478. No. 4: yes, 1503; no, 493. No. 5: yes, 1540; no.

466. No. 6 yes, 1508 no, 509. No. 0 yes, 1527; no, 401.

-From this it will be seen that the highest vote cast in favor of any one of the amendments was 1,543, on the third; the highest vote against was 530 on the first amendment. The lowest vote in favor was on the first amendment 1,496, and the lowest vote against was 401 on the ninth. Commissioner's Court Crumbs. The.Commissioner's Court adjourned last Friday evening, after having held a two weeks session. In addition to that reported last week, the following business was transacted during the term A petition for the Union township gravel road was granted, and George Close, Miller Morgan and Harmon W.

Stults were appointed viewers of the same. This road begins at the terminus of Whitelock street, in the Third Ward, and runs through Union township to the Wells county line, and will probably be built the coming summer. For the Fort Wayne gravel road, Wm. T. Purviance was appointed Superintendent; John C.

L. Ibach, son of Hon. B. F. Ibach, Superintendent of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home and Asylum for Feeble Minded Children of Knightstown died at Indianapolis, last Saturday afternoon, the 19th at three o'clock, after- an fi illness eleven weeks' duration.

The deceased was stricken down in the very prime of young manhood, and his summons came just at a time when life is the dearest, the brightest, the most promising. Aged twenty-three years, everything looked hopeful and buoyant, but the dread messenger came. His sickness was dangerous from the first. It will be remembered that by some it was thought that his disease was caused from trichina, but subsequently it was ascertained to be a malignant form of typhoid fever, and during his illness he experienced the most excruciating suffering. All borne uncomplainingly, however, by the deceased, who, long before his friends, realized that his end was near, and prepared himself for the final summons.

Cliarley was married last fall, to an estimable young lady of Camden, New, Jersey, who was a most devoted wife and is now soon, left to mourn the loss of a husband and companion. How great must be her affliction, how hard for her to bear her loss. In their deep sorrow, the young wife, the sorrowing father and mother, the brothers have the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of friends in this place. Time may assuage their but never will the departed one be forgotten by them. In accordance with an expressed desire, of the deceased, the remains, accompanied by the were brought to this city, and on Monday afternoon last were laid in the Masonic cemetery, there to await the great day of resurrection.

May his rest be peaceful. i JOHN U. PETITT, Died Jn Wabash, last Monday afternoon, from lung disease, at the age of sixty years, Mr. Petitt was an -old resident of this part of the State, having come here in 1841. He represented Wabash in the State Legislature two terms, and was speaker the House for one term.

For two years he served as United States Consul at Bernham, at the mouth of 'Amazon, and served three terms in Congress, this county being embraced in his Congressional district. He was twice elected as Judge, Huntington connty at that time being one of the counties embraced in his Judicial Circuit. He also at one time held a professorship in the Bloomington Law School. At its organization Mr, Petitt was com-misssioned as Colonel of the seventy-fifth Indiana, but did not leave the State to engage in active service, on account ef his health not permitting. Thus, one by one of the old settlers are passing away, and new faces are constantly coming forward to fill their places.

MATTHIAS GUETHLER. For several weeks past, many of our people have known of the dangerous illness of Mr. Matt. Guethler, of this city, and while daily expecting to hear of his death, yet when the news came, last Friday morning, of his death the evening previous, it caused a feeling of sadness to all his friends. Mr.

Guetthler was well known, of kind and social disposition, and greatly respected by all. He was twenty-seven years of age, and in November last was married to Lizzie Zahn, a daughter of P. D. Zahn. A week or two after his marriage, he took to his bed, his disease rapidly ran into consumption, and the best medical attention proved of no avail.

The death angel had called him, and he must respond to the summons-. The funeral took place from the Lutheran church, of which fie was a member, last Sunday afternoon, and after impressive services the remains were interred in the Lutheran ceme-try, the following named young men and former companions acting as pall-bearers: Chas. A. Walter, Christ. Beck, Andre Kiudler, John Falck, Micbcel West, and Henry Gimmer.

I EDITH STULTS. Miss Edith Stults, daughter of the late George Stults, died on Saturday, March 12th, at the residence of her uncle Jacob Stults, in Clearcreek township, aged 19 years, 3 months and 12 days. She was buried on Sunday afternoon, the 13th, in the cemetery at the Clearcreek Methodist The funeral services were conducted by the Reverend M. Mahin.

34-iw 1 FAVORED, Was TTwught tb' be the Case on the X. Wabash Hoact Last Sunday. When searing Roanoke last- Sunday night the westward bound fast on the Wabash St. Louis Pacific met with an accident the great wonder of which is that it did not prove much more serious in its effects, or that' it was not attended with great loss of life. The train was running at a high rate of speed past the station above named, inasmuch as no stop is made there, when on running on a switch, the same broke, and the track spread right out under the wheels of the train.

The" engine passed safely the tender left the track as did every car of which the train was composed, and many of the coaches were forced entirely off tho trucks on account of the violence of the concussion. Strange to say but one person on the train, Representative McDowell, of Allen county, was at all Injured, and he was but slightly cut around the head. I As soon as possible Road master Adams, of this place, was on the scene of the accident with a force of men and was compelled to grade and build eight hundred feet Of new track, clear around the wreck, before a train could be run through. This was done in the remarkably short space of three or four hours, and the track was built and passengers transferred to another train when they were taken to their destination. As a rapid workman, Mr.

Adams "takes the pastry." Railroad News. From the Bluff ton Banner of last week, we take the following extract. which will be interesting reading to many of our subscribers in the southern part of the county I On yesterday we took occasion to interview W. J. Craig, concerning the "narrow gauge" system of railways.

Mr. Craig said in substance tThat bur east and west railroad is rapidly becoming a great system. Last week a consolidation was effected with the Dayton Southeastern which adds a coal road 125 miles in length, from Dayton, via Xenia and Chillicothe to Wilston, one of the most valuable coal roads in the west and will be extended to the Ohio river, at Ironton. In sixty days the Cincinnati division will be completed. West of here the iron is laid to Kokomo, and will be ballastexLand ini operation within thirty days.

West of Kokomo the contracts are all let, and the work has commenced under a guarantee that the road will be completed to Charleston by the first of July. Preparations are already made for the extension from Charleston to St Louis. The moment St. Louis is reached connection will be made with the Cairo St Louis narrow gauge. This year will see the road completed from Toledo to Cincinnati; from Dayton to Ironton; from Delphos to St Louis and Cairo, with enough other connections to swell this system to about three thousand miles.

Roads now building in Missouri, Arkansas and Texas are shaping their affairs so as to form a continuous line to Texas. A com pany has already been formed to extend the same to the city of Mexico-and also form a connection with the Denver Rio Grande R. R. The signs of the times indicate that another year will see a great net-work of narrow gauge roads, which will spread over the entire continent before another Presidential election. The Toledo, Delphos Burlington R.

R. will settle the battle of the gauges. They have already secured the respect of railroad circles and the confidence of financial circles. The secret of their success is in the fact that they are building the best narrow gauge railroad in the world; wider cuts, heavier embankments.larger ties and more of them to the mile; heavier iron, stronger bridges, and first-class rolling stock. Toledo, Delphos Burlington railroad 'Stock has been admitted to the N.Y.

stock exchange. Hereafter transactions in the T. D. B.stock will be quoted the same as Erie, N. Y.

Central, etc. The Fort Wayne News of late date, has also the following item concerning the removal of the railroad shops to Antioch: I The News after considerable exertion, is enabled to inform its readers that the transfer of the Wabash yard and shops from Fort Wayne to Antioch is no longer a newspaper romance but a fact on the verge of realization. Land was purchased this week one mile east of Antioch, by Judge Cheney of this city, who is a director in the company, and about the same track room will be used at Antioch as has been in use at this point. "The land purchased lies on both sides of the track, 300 feet on one side and 500 on the other and is of ample length for the purposes designed. i As soon as the round house can be erected, the freight runs will be from Toledo to Antioch and Antioch to Danville, instead of changing crews at Ft.

Wayne and Lafayette as at present. This arrangement will necessarily take the residences of freight engineers, conductors and brakemen running through, between Toledo and Danville. Antioch is at present an insignificant way station, and Its promised rapid development is only due to its fortunate position as a half-way place between Toledo and Danville. THE MARKETS.
