I hlch-wln-B, the products ot a dbjtlllcry at Lu buque, Iowa, rs seized tinier the Internal Revenue Act. This was one ot tbe llrntot iho whisky iraud. and created a (Treat ecQBatlon all over the country. A lull report of the Column siouer of the Internal Revenue in the cave barf lately been publiHhcd. The distillery w as run by lies th. J. A. Rhora berir & Co.. who, from the time ot Its "ppiiln in 18G4, prcKcd It tiinht and day luto alaree pro duel. The proprietors were taken aback by the chance of t nie, on which the tax of $2 por gallon ai to fro into ttlect, a dlncrcnce ol' one month against their interest and calculation. They at once commenced a desperate gaina of fraud upon the Government, whlcti was tnauato.l bo skiltully Bi to involve unsuspecting purtioi to fhare in the ultimate perils and loss. Paving duty on 79,1811 gallons httrhwlncj diiriite the period of uninterrupted operations, the firm phipped to New York early in 18 15 a product ot alcohol and high-wines equal to 1(3.000 eallons high-wines, an excess ol 8.),0U.I callous over the amount on which duty was col lected. One process, anions others, by which they manoeuvred in the Iraud, was to secure in spection on a certain number of barrels of hlU wines, and afterward emptying the'r contents into the alcohol tull, ietlliiiifr iho barrels with other ines. At the time ot the seizure, the amount of whicu the Government hud been defrauded waR a little over $100,01)1). The seizure ot the pro- Serty by the revenue ollicers lound it in the anus of innocent patties, who held it lor large advances. Theie were seized in store, or in transitu at Chicago, Hullulo, and New York, 1000 bnmls of hiph-wlnes, and 1287 barrels of alcohol, the estimated value of which wa3 $272,000. Mcears. Etunres A Sons, bankers, and the Dubuque lirancl Bank, had tnaio advances unon clear bills of lading ol $2G0,00J. The total interest of outside parties in the proceedings amounted to $370,000. When the distillery was seized, it was lound to be fully stocked tor the prosecution of a larce business, and with perish able property. The revenue ollicers, on instruc tions Irom Washineton, kept the distillery run Diner uni.il tbe grain was a'l converted Into Bpuits, amounting to 75,000 gallons. Out of this act grew the most serious compli cations of all. tor. pending the decision on the seizures previously ma'le, involvine thewholo machitierv and nateriul, under the views that the tax of two dollars must be. collected on every gallon of hich-wiues made, the whole personal firopcrty at Dubuque, then in the United titatea larshai's hands, was d stralned lor taxes. From this embarrassment, iho Department set to work to untie the knot. The Department willinaly consulted the interests of the bankers and other innocent parties. The strict letter ofthe law, if carried out, meant forfeiture of all the property in the hands of the Government. But certain complications stood in the way. The spirits, under the tirsl seizure, had been released under bonds of in demnity tiled by the bankers interested, May 22, at that time satisfactory to Commissioner Lewis, a.id sufliclently protecting the interests of the Government as" lelaicd to the taxes due. In i ecard to the 75.000 gallons of spirits male by the Government officers the Commissioner decided that it belonged to the Government, and the latter being clearly the n.anufucturer, the liability to tax did not exist. The ordinary proceeding: carried out would cave lett the Government a ueavy loser, lor sharing one-halt with the informers, a sale in the then depressed condition of tne market would hare lclt a large balance unpaid, and Bhombere & Co. too entirely ruined lor further resort. The end of the whole atlair was the en tering into of a bond, which has been fully com plied with, in which Mr. Sturges entered into the following agreement: "o pay. the tax cue, ana a further sum of 25,000 in llu ot all penalties and lorteitnres incurred by Rhomberjr, together with the costs aud ouarpes accruing to tho revenue officer lor the seizure, the United States to release and turn over ti them tbe property under seizure, to surrender and canoel tne bond ot 11 ay 22, to surrender, free of ex., tho wines produced sinca trie seizure, and also all moneys re ceived as proceeds or tbe sale of tbe catte. and to assign to them a bond given to the United states by KbomberR & Co , as distillers, said property to be 10 eased upon their filinor a bond conditioned tbat they should pav tbe costs aioresa.d, and alio tbe sum ot $161,156 tax, and 25 000 in lieu ol penal ties, as lollows: $50,000 in one month, and the balance in two equal payment, one-bait in thee months, and the other in fire months, with interest Irom the date ot said bond." Indications of Lower Prices. All through the present month prices have been gradually but steadily tending downwards, -with the single prominent exception of reuti. The prico of gold touched one hundred and thtrtv-six on Saturday, the lowest point that it has reached since last fall. The coal sales of last week showed the nearest approach to old lashioned prices of fuel that we have had since the era of high prices commenced. The figures ranecd from seven to eieht dollars a ton,' and the bidding was very dull at that. The retailers still adhere closely to extortion prices, but there is ro excuse whatever tor such rates as tney exact from consumers. In the drygoods Market everything U fiat, dull, and drooping. Tho wholesale merchants are, dcinar almost nothing in the way of sales, but are frequently cbanging their marks a figure lower. They generally have large stocks on band, aa have also tbe manufacturers, and there is a prospect of raucn lower rate. The same la true of groceries, and nearly every other class of goods. The retail drj goods men are the only class of retailers, however, who seem to have taken any notice of the decline in prices, and even they have not re duced tneir ueures to an extent corresponding with the wholesale reduction. Of course the re tailers will maintain old prices an loner as dob- sible, with the object ot clearing out stocks that were boueht at hub. rates, but a continued de cline in the whole market will compel them to come down or run the lisk of having their goods remain on hand. On tbe whole, we think the tendency of pricos generally is quite encourag ing to consumers. N. Y. Bun. The Book of Common Prayer. The Archbishop of Canterbury has set his foot upon the project for the revision of the Book of Common Prayer, which has been agitated for some time past in England. lie pointedly con demns "those who have violated a compromise and settlement which has existed for three hun dred years, and ate introducing vestments aud ceremonies of very doubtf ul legality, are retily, though unconsciously, doing the work of the worst eneiiiies ol the Church;" aud adds: , "Let it not be supposed tbat 1 have any sym pathy with those who would mutilate the ser vices or our Church, or slight iU plain directions; my anxiety is to see that uniformity prevail in our public worshio which It has beeu the special oblect of the Re f ormed Church ot Etulund to secure; but hopeless indeed must be every pros pect ol uniformity if each clergyman Is at liberty to reproduce, according to his individual caprice, the use of Salisbury, Hereford, Bangor, York, or Lincoln, which diversity is expressly deprecated In the preface to our Book ot Common Prayer." Another British Blunder. Lord Robeit Cecil, a member ot the British Parliament, made merry, in a recent speech, over his experiences in the United States. On board a Ounard steamer, ue says, the passensers otter material for a curious study : 'Ton nad yourself with a Vice-President of the United States on oue side, and perhaps a detective lu pursuit ot a Muller on the other, whllo opposite may bo the French minister eoing out, and Mr. liurnum, perhaps, next to him." After the c ustomary slurs at American man ners, Lord Robert cave his hearers the remark able bit of information that "the Federal Gen eral Sherman, wtio might almost have dictated the policy of the republic, returned to the drudgery of a lawyer's oilice In a small country town.

Feoruarv 21. Three persons were Irozen to death, and three others badly frozen In Morion county, during the receut co'd snap. undtr the lollowlne riiciirustances: i ney wre atteridina a eir.uine school, near Cham Lake, on the niebtof tho lath instant, and about icKht o'clock a severe snow storm coming upj they were afraid to remain longer, and started for home, a distance ol a mile and a half, with an ox team. i Alter remaining out two nlirhts and a day tie team got home, di ivca by one of the boys, the only one able to walk, having on the sled the girls locked tog' tner In the cold embrace of death, another girl badly frozen, and the bovi not quite so bad. The boy that was frozen the leait says he supposed the cattle would go home, but instead went tn another direction, and stopped in a large marsh about a mile irom the tchool-touse, w here they rem lined two ntgMs and a day. W hen It cleared so that they could see, they stalled for home, and arrived In the cond.tioh above fctated. The names of those frozen to dentn were Mary and Louisa Landaker, and Amanda Presler. Francis, David, ana i Danes Pree'er. and William Landaker, escaped with their lives, but will lose some of their limbs. The Latest Freak of Fashion. The new Spring bonnet is annonnced and has created quite a sensation among the fair sex, and is styled the "Gipsy." To give an adequate idea of i's shape or construction is a ditucuit tatk; but there is one thing quite certain it is like aiijlliing else but a bonuet. In olden time?, these coverings for the head were of ucn im mense proportions, that it was necessary to peer up a long passage in order to get a view of the features ot the wearer. Of late years, however, bonnets have become "smaller by degrees and beautifully less," until now there is scarcely eny thing lelt but the crown. Now, it is very evi dent that it u proportiouflte diminution takes place another year, bonnets will be whittled out ot existence, 'and beco.ne things of the past. But, to the "Gipsy" : tho shape is as near to that of a soiip-pla as possible, providing the nm was bent in a little on each side. It tits close to the head about one-third of which it coveis. But very little trimming is worn on the outside, and the bonnet lifiue closely to tbe head renders inside trimmings inadmissible to any extent But few of tucse miniature head cover ings are worn at present, on account of the Spring season having scarcely commenced, and perhups on account of the ladies being rather ditlident in aciop ing the last monstrosity wntch. Diirrjrj Fashion nas produced. The sex will come to it, however. .iVeto ibrJj'un. 1 mm Medical Repot t of Freedmcn's Bureau. The lollowing extracts from the report of Dr. Caleb W. Horner, Chief Medical Ollicer of the Freedmen's Bureau, will prove very interesting, as a proof of tho rapid improvement effected by this Department of the Bureau in the health of those under its care: Number of white refugees under medical treatment from the organization of the Bureau up to December Hi, 18G5, was 3G.i0, of whom 304 died, being a percentage of '08 of the whole number under treatment. The per centago of deaths up to September 30, 18G5, was '00; in Oc tober it was '00; in November It was 'O!); and in December it was "02. The number ot freed people under medical treatment from the organization of the Bureau up to December 31, 1805, was 90,522, of whom 8374 dipd, being a percentage of "09 of the whole number treated. The per centage of deaths up to September, 1865, was 13; in October, 18C5, it was "07; in November, 18C5, 05; in De cember, 18C5, it was "049. The report embraces patients treated in hospital or visited in their own quarters by tbe medical officers of the Bureau. Many thousands of cases prescribed for at the numerous dispensaries are not included. The English Ministry. The English Ministry has undergone exten sive modifications since Earl Russell assumed the Premiership in place of Lord Palmerston. Sir Charles Wood, a painstaking but not very brilliant statesman, retires irom the Indian Se cretaryship, in consequence of a late accident, and is succeeded by the Earl de Grey, who is to be transferred from the War Oilice. Earl de Grey is to have lor his Under Secretary a Mr. Stanstield, who was elected from otlica by Lord Palmerston (or some ia discreet aililiations with Mazzini, which had provoked tbe ire of tbe French Emperor. The Marquis of Hartington is to be Secret ary ot War in place of De Grey, with Lord Duilerin, transferred from the Indian Department, as Under Secretary. Mr. Mouseil succeeds Mr. Gceschen as Vice-President of the Board of Trade. These changes introduce a younger generation Into place and power to succeed the old stand bys of the Whig party, who have held oilice off and on tor the last halt a century. Of course, it is ail in the family, the new blood belonging to the hereditary office-holders, who have been shelved. It is doubtful whether the infusion of this youthful aristocracy into the Cabinet will really strengthen Earl Russell in Parliament or tbrouehout Great Britain, but it will be at least satisfactory to the old Whig ruling families, wh see their teign perpetuated in their successors. Mr. Gladstone Is the strongest man In the Cabi net, and its continuance largely depends on him. Meanwhile the progressive English Liberals are growing in strength, and bide their time until Mr. Bright can be made a member of a Ministry that will reflect the more advanced ideas and true Interests of the masses of the English people. commercial Advertiser. Steamboat Disasters. The prevalence of steamboat disasters on the Western waters is alarming enough to stop all water travel in that region. Since the first of December last, the number of steamers blown up, burned, er sunk is not less than Jorty fow. Three of these , wrecks have been reported within the last forty-eight hours; one ot them causing the loss ot thirty lives, ana another the killing and wounding ol twenty persons. The moot melancholy part of these disasters is tbe destruction ot human life, but tho loss of pro perty has also been immense. The frequency of collisions ard tires shows a degree ot reck lessness which deserves severe punishment ; but the explosions of bad boilers prove that inferior materials and bungling workmen have too often been cm ployed. It is not likely that we have yet seen the end of the appalling list. , Stick tor the South. The war used up the farm stock of the Sonth. and the West and tho Northwest are now called upon to supply the demand which arises with the revival ot peaceful industries. The New Albany (Indiana) Journal writes tbat the num ber ot "mules sliipnd Irom that city and Portland to the South since the 28th of November, 1865, exceeds ten thousand, and shipments still con tinue to be made without any abatement in num bers. During no pievious season lor the past ten years t as the number shipped exceeded eight thousand. The prices of' mules rule hign, and the supply In Southern Indiana and in Kentucky is being rapidly diminished. Shipments, there- lore, will soon lieu in to lull off. The shipments ot horses since November have also been very large. i First Yeto of n South Carolina Governor. Under the old Constitution of South Carolina the veto power was not vested in the Governor, but the new Constitution has conformed in this resnect to that of the oilier Slates. I The first occasion pf the exercise of this newly given power bv Governor Orr, was ia regard to an "act to amend be patrol laws," which, in taut, re-established the police regulations witn regara to freedmen, which had once controlled them as claves. . i Tne Governor savs that, having accorded freeootn to the African race in their midst, 'the people ot South Carolina are bound by duw aud policy alike "to give him all the concauiltauta ol wnat ue regarua aa so great a Doon."

A Lost Ancnivn. In the report of the nro- ceediDcs of the Senate it will be lound that a foint resolution has passed the Assembly autho rizing tbe city ot wutlamsDurg to send to Lon don tor a certified copy ol its lost charter, ihe original one acrranted by their gracious Majes ties King William and Mary, and bore their roval sea'. It was dated about 1608, the time ot the abandonment ot tne Jamestown colony, ana tne removal ol the seat of government to Williams burg, "whicn was a more heabliy place, and not so much pestered with musquitoes." It had been carefully preserved in Williams burg not merely as a relic, but as a part of the history ot the venerable town, it was removed by General Wise In April, 1803, and brought to Richmond, and deposited In the State Court House for safe keeping, where it was destroyed in the conflagration ot the 3d of April. The application will be made, probably to the Master ol the Rolls, and a certified copy will be obtained, but it will never seem to the Williams burg tolks like the dear old parchment now ashes among tbe ashes of the Court House. tiwiimona vvpatcn, February it. A Relic or thk Revolution. There is on ex hibition at a jewelry store In Baltimore a relic ot the Kevolutionary war ol exquisite manufac ture, astwell as of great val le. It is a gold snuff box. presented by Louis AVI, Kirgot Franc, to Colonel John Laurens, of Soath Carolina, Aid-de-Carop to General Washington, on the oc casion of that officer's visit to France bv order of the American Congress, to negotiate a loan for his Government. The box, says the Sun, is ot pure gold, the exterior beautifully enamelled and studded witn diamonds. The top bears a likeness of Louis XVI, set In a cluster of thirty four diamonds, whilst the edge is surrounded by tweuty-iour diamonds. This has been in the lanniy ot the descendants ot colonel Laurens since" the death of that gentleman, and is now the property of a widow lady, who, havingLbeen impoverished by the late Rebellion, sends it to Baltimore for sale, in order to procure the neces- sullen ui nil" lui iieiBen ttuu cunuieu. jvueuuv a wealthv citizen has offered $2f00 for it. hut it is probable it may be disposed ot by rafllc. Retorted Arrest of Genkbal Forrest. A Memphis paper, February 20, says: "We un derstand that the Confederate General Forrest was arrested on Saturday last by United States Marshal Rider, on a warrant issued from the United States District Court in March last, on an indictment for treason. General Forrest entered his personal recognizance for his ap pearance at the ensuing March term of said court." The Memph!s Bulletin explains that the arrest ot General Forrest is nothing more than a service of notice by the Marshal of the indictment for treason, found some months ago In Judge Triegs' Court, against some two hundred or more citi zens of le nnessee. General Forest amona tho number. A very large numLer of these were disposed of at the last term ot the Court by the discharge of the persons indicted. General F orest not being in Memphis, no notice was served uoon him until the other day, when he entered Into the nsual recognizance to appear at tne marcn lerm oi uoun. Pkopbrtt in Designs. A decision has recently been given by the Belirian law courts which throws s6me curious light upon the question of property in designs in that country. A. M. Buys, an architect, has, it appears, erected some law courts in Brussels, the plans of which aro claimed by a M. Gerard, who obtained an iirjunc tron restraining payment of the sum in the hands of the Minister of the Interior, which, in the ordinary course, would have been received by M. Suys as hi professional fee. M. Says next brings an action against his opponent to compel him to remove the injunction, and claiming 10,000 francs damages for the injury to his pro fessional rrputatiop. Judgment was given for the defendant, and the court directed Ji. Suys to pay to M. Gerard the sum claimed. The esse was referred to the superior court, who c8n filmed the decision of the court below, and at the same time condemned M, Buys In the whole of the costs. London Header. , Bush op Emigration from Germany. A let ter from Frankfort-on-the-Main states: The emigration to your country continues unabated. In 18U6 there went via Hamburg, 37,659 passen gers, and embarked in ninety-fonr sailing ves sels and thirty steamers; in 1864 there left only i'j,7t, on tnirty snips, me numper oi tnose who lett Europe via Bremen had reached already, town of Herrenberg, in Wurtemberg, which numbers only 2418 inhabitants, left during tne last year 67 persons, taking with them, in hard cash, over 25,000 gilders. There is not tbe least doubt that the emigration from Europe, during I860, will reach at least 300,000 pernons. Slang. Old usages of modern slang words turn up in unexpected quarters sometimes. Most of us think that the word "jolly," in the sense of very, extremely, is of recent dale; but in a seri ous theological woik of two hundred years ago John Trapp's "Commentary on the Old and New Testament," (London, 1666-7) we read: "All was jolly quiet at Ephcsus bofore St. Paul came thither." We heard the same phrase from a schoolboy's mouth, applied to a maiden aunt's tea-party. Trapp's "Corumentary" is a great favorite ol Mr. Spurgeon's. London Header. Tni Cattl Plaque ajjo Vaccination. The United States Consul at Manchester, England, writes to the Department of State, under date ot February 2, that, as a last resort, the experi ment of vaccination was extensively tried throughout England upon cattle, but had totally tailed as a preventive In fact, tbe disease was not even mitigated. The utmost precaution has been used to keep the epidemic out of Ireland, and thus far V ith success. ! Faiisian Gossip. A Paris letter in a London journal says: "Rather a good thine was uttered here the other night by a clever actress. A very old man having died, his very old and attentive servant died the next day. 'Depend upon it, bis master rang for him,' was the remark." Another correspondent writes tbat a "learned professor," who was asked to give a lecture to an institution, went and delivered his eloquence at that institution, and only when It was over, found that his best lauguage and lungest words had been expended in vain, as he was in the presence of a deaf and dumb college. .
