EREM5BUnC, PA., rriilav Morning, May 9, 1873. Some of Samuel Henry's Laws. It has been the uniform practice of Samuel Henry, who hasmisreprcpentcl this county iu the Legislature for the last two vears, to pass, or attemot to ! pass, , , ........ i every bill that was sent to him ; Meeting of the County Itemocratic j without consulting the people whose j Executive Committee. j interests were to Ikj aifected by their: . , ! enactment. He has been subservient ' TU mfinwrs of tli iemorraTir r.xecu live Committee are requested lo meet at the t'onrt II oust: in KU'iishnrtf, on Monday, .TU?ik2i, 173, t 'i o'clock, I.

He was Speaker of the National House of ; Representatives from to 1859, and (Jovernor of his own State from 1SC5 to 18'8.- Phii.ltvs Sawvi.k, a radical mem ber of Congress front Wisconsin, in vested his extra pay, amounting to nearly $5,00'.(, in V. S. bonds, an 1 one hiy last week, in the presence of a number of his friends, burnt litem, thus reducing the public debt to just that extent. Sawyer's unwillingness to en rich himself at the people's expense is commendable, even though it comes n liUlo late. If all the other Congress men who took the "swag'' would do as Sawyer has done, the reduction of t'.ie debt would amount to something hand hjidc. Then, if (Jrant would do like wise with his $vJo,(00 a year extra, the lniilcnium might coiilidenil v be looked for. Ho.v. If. X. JWoA r.LisTEit, of lielle fonte, a delecate-at-Jflrtre to the Con stitutional Convention, died after a j brief illness at his lodgings in Phila- 1 dt-lphia. -n last Monday. Mr. McAl lister was a member of the bar and oc- 1 cupied a high rank in his profession. lie was a public spirited citizen, ami j his loss will be sensibly felt in his own j immediate locality, lie was regarded, J find justly too, as one of the ablest, ! most industrious ami useful members ! ot the convention. Two of the most j prominent delegates to the convention ' have died suddenly Col. Hopkins of Washington county during the winter and now Mr. McAllister. There has not been any lighting at the lava beds fince the 2('.th of April, when the Mod oca so completely sur prised and slaughtered Capt. Thomas and his command. Cien. Davis, who succeeds (Jen. Canby, had arrived at htiut-iuai ters, but does not intend com mencing operations against Cape. Jack and his handful of brave8,;itil he has fully studied the topography of the country. It is deeply humiliating that forty armed In bans should be able to defy the power of the government and battle the skill of its military ollicers. It is not, however, so much to be won dered at, when we consider the pecu liarities of the lava beds, within and on the skirt3 of which Capt. Jack con ducts his wily operations. Army olli cers assert that forty Modocs in their present location are eipial to two thousand men in a square, stand up g"t. . 'Fovn panels were left in the frescoing ! roj;a by tbo Senate Committee on Foreig ;i i llel.C ions, with the un '.LTstan.lin that they were to bo f.llcd by the portraits of j four of the most eminent chairmen of that j committee since the foundation of the gov- j eminent. These have finally been tilled at the urgent request of Senator Cameron, ' but it has nut been ascprtaineo who made , the selections. The portraits painted with i this understanding' are those of Cameron, B uiiiipr, W illiam Allen, of Oiiii, and Henry Clay." The Washington correspondent of a ci-v paper furnishes the above inter-. citing item of intelligence. All who are familiar with the disreputable pub- j lie career of Simon Cameron will have j no difficulty in ascribing to him this j in -stilt to the pride and intelligence of' the American people. The eircum- j stances connected with his elevation to ! in all his legislation, as applicable to this county, to the dictation of a , few uneasy and restlcvs radical politicians, aided 'and assisted by a small batch of guerrilla democrats." During the ses- ' sion of S-2, he passed his celebrated, ! but bungling, tax law without ever j havim received a single petition in its j I favor, and the first time the tax-payers oi me county ever unew lhul ucu an Act had beeu in contemplation was when they read it in the papers of Kbensburg and Johnstown after the Legislature had adjourned. A decent reaped fbr the. wishes of his constitu ents would have suggested to him the propriety of at least first ascertaining their views in reference to a measure which so nearly concerned one of their most important interests. Mr. Henry, however, felt himself above all such tritlingconsiderations and assumed the responsibility. At the last session he engineered through both Houses a bill, not pre ; pared by himself, but sent to him by j some meddling and ollicious attorney, i which requires the Prothonotary to j mark on the margin of the docket op i posite the original entry of an action, each separate item of that oflicer's fees. I We do not know whether the bill has ! been signed by the (Jovernor or not. It would simply result in compelling the tax-payers of the county, through the County Commissioners, to pay for almost double tne number o records that are now found suiiicicut for the j oilier a consideration of no small ' magnitude. What was Samuel Henry's j motive in passing this bill and nunc- j cessarily multiplying the records in : this particular ottice we confess that we i cannot even conjecture. If a defend ant in a judgment desires a bill of the particular items which go to make up i the aggregate of the Prothonotary 's ' fees, lie h is a legal right to demand it, ' and that ollicer is bound to furnish it. ; This Act of Assembly w as therefore totally unnecessary, originating in one ' mind capacious of such tilings, and if! carried out would entail a heavy ex- j pensc on the county without any sub- ; stunt ird bent lit. Samuel Henry knows : how to manage the affairs of a bank, for that is his business, but he is not presumed to know .any tiling more about ; how the records in the Prothonotary "s olllce should be made up than he does j about the language of the Modoc In dians. Heretofore, in this county, when a plaintilf instituted a suit in the Court j of Common Pleas, the summons was : made returnable by the Sheriff on the ' first day of the next term. Tims a . summons issued by the Prothonotary, j either during the March Court or af-1 terwards, was made returnable on the j first day of the June term. This long established practice, witli whi-h the people were all familiar, gave the de fendant smiicient notice to enable him to employ counsel to appear for him on the record before the return day and contest the claim of the plaintiff, if there was any defence, or if not, it gave him a reasonable time to raise the i money and liquidate the claim without i anv further controversy. Hut Mr. Henry, our "model legislator," whose "peculiar magnetism," to use the obse quious language of one of his daily home organs, is so wonderfully irre- w prop er at the la asi session, i sistible, in the ph'iiitude of his wisdom, to ; change all this by the passage of ".in ! act providing for what is called month- ' bj return lay.. This bill, like the one ; in relation to the Prothonotary s ft'-c3, ! did not of course originate with him, but was sent to him by tw o or three of j his legal frieitds, who demand a more ' speedy and summary process tosqueeze f money out of unfoitunatc but honest ' debtors. Uv this new -fangled arrange-! ment, writs of summons may be made ! returnable on the first Monday of ewh and eceri month, or on the first day of j t lie next term, as formerly, at the op- j tion of the plaintiffs attorney, who, on j the return day specified, may direct ! tln rnt himrito rv tt nntnr uiilrmifmt ' the chairmanship of the most impor- J affMnst thc for f To oTwl rf.cnnci hln twuTirnn rn ri I I no v . , l n ; appearance or affidavit ot deft senate, mat on i oreigu -uuirs, art: too That 1 el ice. vsh to require repetition here. i , , ' 7 1 , ; 1 : Rt.Vlfkl shfiVT 'Hid viniM iro.tio he does not possess one single " " ' ' ' '' A'Im Lr .

And now this dis- ; carded Ex-Secretary of War, this cor rupter of the politics of Pennsylvania, bv the exercise of his usual trickery and brazen assurance, procures his Cassius-like portrait to bo painted on the same panel in the Capitol nlong ide of Clay, Allen, ami Sumner. Henry Clay 1-s dead and cannot there fore resent this insult to his great name and reputation, but Allen and Sumner are both living and mtist keenly feel the stigma. To place Simon Cameron on an equality with Clay, Alien, and Sumner, is about as preposterous fts it would be to paint on a panel the por trait of John J. Patterson, of South Carolina, between those of Webster and Calhoun ; or speaking in a heroic sense, to attempt to confer honor and renown on that greatest of military charlatans, Benjamin F. P.utler, by sandwiching his sinister countenance between the expressive features of the gieat Napoleon and the iron Duke. procedure, woum oe aoie to see his wav i clear and be relieved from the terrors of a judgment and execution. Was there the slightest necessity for the passage of tiiis act ? If there was, we would like cither that Mr. Henry or the man who wrote the bill would in form the people what it is. These are some of the laws for which the constituents of Mr. Henry are in debted to him at fecund hand. The tax-payers of the county never knew or heard anything of the first until after the (Jovernor had signed it ; the temnd is virdonary, impracticable and expensive to the county, and the . was concocted by a cabal of attorneys of the Shvlock school, who are ever eagerly intent in the swift and remorse less pursuit of their coveted pound of jle.h according to the stipulation in the bond. YrsTF.TtTAY morning's daily papers contain the announcement of the death from apoplexy of Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, which occurred at the resi dence of his daughter, Mrs. Ilovt, in Xcw York, on Wednesday morning. His age was C5 years and 4 months. No space fore omments this week. C attain' Jack and his scalawag as sociates have evidently evacuated the lava beds and gone dearknows where. A raljM'Me Hit. Gen. John A. (Jarfield, who repre sents the Western Reserve (Ohio) dis trict in Congress, voted for the extra pav swindle. For having done so, his constituents have raised a perfect storm of indignation about his head and de mand his resignation. He addressed a long letter to them in reply, the fol lowing concluding extract from which we reproduce from our last issue in order to make, a few editorial com ments thereon : "If the delopatos believe the retroactive salary clause is so infamous that I ought to resign for voting for the appropriation bill to which it was attached, will they fol low out their logic and iuMsi that the Pres ident ought to resign tor signing it? My vote did not make it a law. His signature did." This is what is called the argumen tum od homincm, and hits the nail square on the head. Although the members who voted for the increase or back pay section, which was cunningly inserted in the general appropriation bill, and thus plundered the treasury to the extent of more than a million and a half of dollar?, deserve to be held up to public execration, (J rant's agency iu consummating the fraud was even greater than theirs. Repeating his well remembered lobby operations in the disgraceful San Domingo job, he exerted all his personal infiuen.ee, both in the House and Senate, to make this extra pay iniquity a success. The same bill doubled his own salary, and true to his instinctive avarice and greed, he jumped at it with the same eagerness that a hungry trout dashes at a baited hook in the early spring. What President, from Washington dow n to the predecessor of the present gilt-taker in t lie White Houe, would have signed a bill putting annually into his pocket $ 125,0(10 of the people's money in addition to the sum the law allowed him and which l,e had agreed to take ? Would Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, or Lincoln, poor as they were, have so lowered their high ollice or so compromised their nice sense of per sonal honor and official integrity ? Aptlla, the Jew, may believe it, but no American will. The pretext, or apology, set up for (Jrant by his frienos is that he was compelled either to sign the appropri ation hill, of which this extra pay steal was a part, or permit the wheels of government suddenly to stop. This argument is very shallow, and is not worth a row of pins. If (Jrant could have divested himself of his inordinate love of money and promptly vetoed the bill, as any other President would have done, and if, when he sent the bill back to thc- House with his objections he had expressed his disapprobation of this particular portion of it and con demned the back pay clause in plain and emphatic language, the same bill, w ith its objectionable features stricken out, could and w ould have leen passed through Congress in a'single day, and the reputation of thc country and its chief execuMve ollicer been preserved untarnished. We trust that the constituents of John A. darfitld, as well as the con stituents of every other memler, rad ical or democrat, who by his vote con tributed to this open and unprecedented robbery, will visit upon him and them the full measure of their just and in dignant wrath. -a t-gw Thk last Congress struck a mean and serious blow at the press of the coun try, which at the time it was pending, should have raised a perfect storm of opposition all over the land. But on the contrary it hardly excited a ripple on the surface of the great ocean of public opinion. In abolishing the frankingprivilege, which had been out rageously abused, and grown to be a nuisance, Congress also abolished the free exchange of newspapers. As the time approaches for the law to go into force, we notice that our cotempora ries are waking up to the enormity of the outrage wlm-h has been porpetratetl upon thc press of the entire country. The Harrisburg State Journal, notic ing this matter, sa- : There was no greater outrage ever com mitted by Congiess than that which de feated the free exchange of newspapers through the mails. It was done as a piece of revenge because the press almost unan imously advocated the repeal of the frank ing privilege, which so incensed Congress men, that they retaliated by repealing the free exchange of newspapers through the mails. The newspapers of the large cities, which enjoy the advantage of immense patronage, encouraged this repeal, hoping thereby to break down country newspapers, and thu give thcni a wider field of monop oly. It was only rare exceptions where this was not done. The Philadelphia Press, from the first, opposed the repeal, and did all in its power to prevent the outrage, but it was unavailing. Now let the country press unite, and there is no doubt the next Congress will do what is right and proper on this subject. It will only require a plain statement to re-establish "the free ex change of newspapers through the mails. A terrible accident occurred Sunday afternoon at the bridge being erected over La mine river, on the northeastern exten sion of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, fourteen miles from Sedalia, Mo. The false work erected for facilitating the construction of the bridge sank into the quicksands upon which it rested, carrying with it the bridge timbers and twelve work men, precipitating all into the river. It is believed that Wni. M. Cancy, Peter Con nors, and Harry Lynch were killed out right, and eight others wounded, two of whom are not expected to recover. Lynch was a married man and came from Hart, Mich. The bodies were token to Sedalia. last night, where an inquest was held, and the verdict was that the insecure founda tion of thc false work was the cause of death. The I'rettideut'M Wanderings. Congress adjourned two months ago, and the President lias been absent from the capital more than half the time since then, in search of personal pleasure and gratification, without giving a thought to the urgent demands of official business, or manifesting the least concern for the high trusts which are unfortunately committed to his keeping. Incompetent as lie noto riously is to fill the great office which he merely occupies, his constant and culpa ble neglect of the most ordinary duties ren ders tliis inefficiency not only glaring, but seriously injurious to the public interests. And it is not redoemed by the slightest ef fort to satisfy public opinion. Gen. Grant regards and treats the Pres idency as a perquisite and pension for his militarv services. He has never risen and never can rise to an appreciation of its . dignity and duty, from the want of educa tion, training, and taste. A stranger to the anxieties which the disturbed condi tion of affairs naturally excites, without elevation of thought or practical outlook, he seeks recreation among congenial minds, and finds fellowship with those who wor ship power and flatter the low infirmities of its possessor. He considers his re-election as an approval by the people of all his acts and omissions, and the doubling of his salary which he indecently urged in person as a recognition by Congress of unrewarded merit. Thus fortified iu his own estimation, h defies opinion, disregards criticism, and j treats with scorn I ul indiffernce public questions upon the happy settlement of which the peace and prosperity of the country may be said to materially depend. The President is directly responsible for the anarchy which exists in Louisiana to day. Without his official aid, intervention, and autlioiity, there would be order and harmony. After a fair popular vote had rejected the corrupt faction, which was only upheld by Federal patronage dis pensed through the hands of the notorious Casev. the President entered the State with military force, dispossessed the cho sen authorities, and installed the vile crew upon whom thc people had passed judg ment of the sternest reprobation. He did all this wilfully, and to sustain his own brother-in-law in usurpation and outrage. And when this criminal interference cul minated, as was easy to foresee it would do, in new aggressions on the part of the protected plunderers and resistance on the pait of the oppressed people, that Presi dent, instead of striving to correct his former errors and to do partial justice to a comir unity whichhe had revengefully trampltd under foot, leaves the responsi bility with his subordinates, tells them to semLmore bayonets, and starts out upon a journey of amusement. He cares not a fig for the sutlering people of Louisiana. He does not see how the destroyed commerce of New Orleans reacts harmfully upn 2sow York and other great markets ; nor does he heed the niutterings of the storm which threaten destruction, unless there be more wisdom iu the conduct f national affairs. While the President is indulging his pas sion for diversion and enjoyment, and vio lating all propriety by such unseemly tri fling, the telegraphic wires from the Pa cific coast are weighed down with the cries of the wounded and dying, as well as w ith the grief of survivors, whose kindred and ft lends have been made the victims of Executive incapacity and negligence. At such a time as this, when every thought and energy shouldbe Btrained to protect the exposed settlers in Oregou and Califor nia, and every resource of experience em ployed to make this little'contest for war it can hardly be yet called, though it may soon become so short, sharp, and dci sive, the President is junketing round the country, seeing sights, and snuffing in the incense burnt by his official satellites. That is his occupation as commander-in-chief of the army and navy, w hile the lives of gallant soldiers are daily sacrificed by scores to defend what has been boastfully called the President's policy. If Gen. Grant has any usefulness at all in the Presidential office, it ought to be in the direction of military matters and in the treatment of Indians. Previous to his involuntary retirement from the army as Capt. Grant he had been stationed in Oregon, and had had experience and rela tions with the Indians which ought to be of some value in this emergency. But whether that past contact be useful or not, the absence of the President from Wash ington in the presence of existing facts is a shame and a scandal which deserves uni versal rebuke. It not only evinces his stolid ii'diflVrence to duty, but a heartless al-senoe of feeling which justly provokes popular indignation. And as a fitting pen dant upon the President's wandering, tlm PerrHary of War, who at least ought to be at his post, has leon amusing himself for several weeks past upon an excursion to Texas, while the Modocs have murdered one of cur foremost geneials,'and in com bat slaughtered more than their whole number of our troops. These are public functionaries who have had their pay enoi mously augmented, andthisistheir manner of icquiting that mistaken generosity. A", y. -S'uu. Frightful Calamity in Illinois. ABRIDGE GIVKS WAY, PRECIPITATING SEV ERAL, HONORED PEUBONS INTO TUB K1VER TERRIBLE OF LIFE. Chicago, May 5. An anpailing calamity occurred yesterday at Dixon, 111., about one hundred mile west of this city, by which it is believed almost one hundred persons lost their lives. A large number of people had assembled on the banks of Hock river to witness the baptism of about a dozen converts, by ltev. J. II. Pratt, Baptist minister. Some three hundred had gathered on the bridge, an iron structure of the Truesdell pattern, rive, hundred feet long, when suddenly a span gave way. and nearly two hundred were precipitated into the water twenty feet below and about six feet deep. The scene that followed ba files description. The most frantic eflbiis were made by those on the shore to rescue the struggling victims, some of whom were drawn out by the hair and by the limbs, and every effort made to resuscitate them. The general estimate of the number of lost amounts to from ninety to one hundred. Asstated, thirty-one bodies were recovered from the wreck before dark. Five other bodies floated down past those engaged at the wreck, and have not yet been recov ered. There are therefore supposed to be at least fifty bodies still tin found, most of whom, it is thought, are under the wreck of the bridge. The bridge was of iron of the Truesdell pattern and had five spans elevated about twenty feet above the wa ter, which at this point it from fifteen to twenty feet. Only two spans the end spans fell. The three middle spans are still standing, but in such a condition that it is thought they will fall when the wreck of the end :pans is cleared away. Work men are busy putting in place derricks with which to raise the fallen i-pans, and making arrangements TO SEC URE THE RODIKS BENEATH. It is now stated that there were nearly thiee hundred people on the bridge at the time of the accident, and more succeeded in escaping than was at first feared at the time of the accident. The most of the people were gathered at either end of the structure, though a large mimler were near the center. Some of the latter re mained where they were when the crash came, and were afterward taken off by boats. Several men jumped from their precarious resting place into the river and swam ashore. Two horses and buggies were standing on the middle spans, and are still there, there lcing no way to take them oflT. There were a number of REMARKABLE ESCAPES OF CHILDREN, of whom there were probably not less than fifty on the bridge when it went tlown. One little fellow, about thirteen years old, was caught by both feet in the iron rigging of one of the fallen spans and had one of his legs broken. Hemanaged by sheer strength to pull one of his boots oil", tearing the sole of in the process, then coolly taking out his knife ripped the other boot from the foot of the wounded leg, and then, crippled as he was, swam ashore. Two little girls, sisters, were standing side by sideand went down together ; as they reached the water the oldest caught the other by her dress with one hand and with the other clung to a portion of the iron work, and held fast to it up to her neck in the icy water until they were both taken off by a boat. Specials received here to-night are re plete with incidents attendant on the fear ful calamity, but add little to the main facts already telegraphed. The number still known to be missing, added to those whose bodies have already been recovered, makes the list of killed seventy-five. The wounded, two of whom (Mrs. Alexander and Mrs. Vanu) have since died, Muruber thirty-two. BTft.T. LATER. Dixon. III., May 6. For two days the city has leen in mourning for its dead victimsof the disaster of Sunday. For two days the funeral bells have been tolling al most hourly, and new made graves have almost hourly raised their mournful hil locks in the cemetery. The fallen bridge has been partially raised and some forty bodies in all removed. It is believed that at least twelve or thir teen are yet in the water. The wounded are doing well. The accident was caused by the people crowding all to one side of thc biidge ; a can-stringer parted, so, the structure being of the kind that when one part gave away the whole would, all was precipitated into the water beneath. .Tames Cullen, or Collins, who mur dered Deputy Sheriff Harden and Titos.

We do not speak now of the first cough, which so many people neglect ; we do not speak of the sputa streaked with blood which warns of danger ; nor yet of the chilliness and weakening night sweats, sure liarbin- geisof a once fatal disease, but we speak of the tiling itself Consumption in its dir est form, which Dr. Keyser has often, and is now weekly and monthly, curing with his extraordinary medicine, known as Lung Cure. Dr. Keyser's Lung Cure has be come as justly celebrated for the cure of Consumption as Quinine ever was for the cure of ague. No weakening, bltiod im poverishing medicine, but a builder up and strengthener of the human constitu tion, in a vast class of chronic diseases, wkich Dr. K. has treated successfully for years, among which Consumption is the chief.

Mr. JPcter Butcher, of Evansville, hid., has a little boy, five years old, who has slept almost constantly for three months. The child was first attacked by a pain in his foot, and this was soon suc ceeded by violent spasms, which were fol lowed by paralysis. When the spasms passed off, the little fellow went to sleep and continued to sleep until roused by vio lent shaking, or until the'spasms returned. He takes such nourishment as the physi cians prescribe for him, aud does not seem to have wasted in flesh. He has lost the power of speech, and, in fact, seems to have no control over his muscles except that when roused he opeus his eyes. "Every Disfask has its Hemeht." Upon this broad fuet is founded the whole art and science of medicine. That every disease lias its curable stage under proper treatment, thero can be no doubt. That they have their incurable iige, umlor any tr atment, may be equally true. The curable period is during the early part of the disease, of course : the incura ble being the advanced condition thc last stage. To know the precise nature, extent and locality of the disease is of the first impor tance in the treatment of any case. This is precisely the reason given by Drs. Oldshue, of Pittsburgh, for bringing into requisition the Microscope, Test-tube, Crinometer, and all the chemical appara tus for the scientific examination of the urine in all chronic, and complicated cases. The long afilicted have not been slow to appreciate these scientific aids, and the consequence is, their office is one continued throng of patients, from all parts of the country, seeking the advantage of their skill in diagnosis. A knowledge of the appropriate remedy, however, is quite important, as without the remedy no advantage would be gained by knowing the disease. Every disease has its 'remedy. This is verified in the fact that different medicines spend their action upon different parts of the human system. Ab each particular disease spends its principal baneful action upon a certain organ or tissue of the bodj, according to its peculiar nature, so each particular rem edy spends its medicinal action upon a cer tain organ or tissue, according to its medi cinal qualities. Having a knowledge of the true nature of the case, as also of the appropriate rem edy, the next matter of importance is its proper preparation and application. This should be carefully attended to, and, as far as practicable, all medicines should be examined by tho physician be fore being put into the hands of the patient or nurse. This is done in the office of Drs. Oldshue before mentioned. ' All their medicines are compounded and their prescriptions filled by their own special direction, and under their own su pervision. No Medicines are passed from their pre scriptions but through their hands. The N.

It says, men and newspa pers affect to turn up their eyes at the ex posure of this cheating in the matter of pea-nut stands at Vienna, who are stone , blind to the monstrous villainy constantly j going on among high officials at home. It concludes that our big robbers At Wash- ' ington cannot hope to condone their own offences by hammering the heads of their two-penny imitators at Vienna. Rev. Dr. M. A.

Be sure to sell a pair of boots for a gun thirty years ago. How strange the coincidence, that one disaster is apt to be followed by another of a similar nature. The breaking down of the bridge at Dixon is followed by a simi lar disaster at Sedalia. Missouri. Iioth are terrible in their suddenness, and iu the number of lives that were lost. Oakes Ames was attacked with para lysis at four o'clock Monday evening, at residence in North Easton, Mass., and his physicians have but slight hopes of his re covery. His system has been weakened by a kidney trouble of five years' exiMence, which threatens to terminate in Blight's disease. Ames is sixty-nine years of age. A hundred armed olicenien with a piece of aitil'ery recently loft New Orleans to install Kellogg officers in one of the par ishes of Louisiana.

Henry M. Smith, the wea'thy New York banker, is building a new steam yacht, which will have accommodations for twenty passengers and a full crew, and is expected, next summer, to make a vov ago across the Atlantic and up the Mctti terranean.

Fulton county, met with an accident w hich resulted in his tleath. He was in a fieid where his father's sheep weie gracing, and one of them, a vicious buck, atfacked thc lad, butting him in the breast several times.

Forty-four houses were des troyed, and thirty-six persons perished. The great mass wkich destroyed the town also dammed up the river and the destruc tive effeclsof anrinundation were expected to be added to the other misfortunes. On Saturday afternoon a week Sena tors Davis, Graham and Hutan, commis sioners to the Vienraexposition, embarked on the steamship Parthia for Europe, and on Saturday last, according to a telegram received by Mrs. Senator Davis from her husband, they arrived at Liverpool, making the voyage in the unprecedentedly rapid time of seven days. The nearest approach to this feat was the speed made by a steam ship several months ago crossing the At lantic in seven days and abont seventeen hours. A Pittsburgh firm Messrs. Rogers & Burchfield, claims to have discoveroed a process by which they can make the famous Russian? sheet iron. The latter is made in Siberia by a secret process which no other nation has hitherto been able to ob tain. The British Government has offered $50,000 for its discovery, but even the stimulus of that large sum has failed to achieve the result. American enterprise and ingenuity have accomplished it, and Pittsburgh, it is said, can now furnish all common markets with Russian sheet iron at even lower prices than the Russians themselves. The process has been patent ed. The name Atlantic has proved ill-fated to many a noble vessel which has borne it. The Cleveland Herald notes the following instances of disaster : The steamer At lantic was lost on Long Island Sound, with nearly all on board ; the steamboat Atlan tic was sunk on Lake Erie, opposite Silver C reek, in 18C2, by a collision w ith the pro peller Ogdensburg, and went down in half an hour, carrying with her two hundred and fifty out of five hundred passengers the river steamer Atlantic exploded her boiler, causing the loss of two hundred lives, on the Mississippi ; the East India man Atlantic was lost off the coast of Mal abar, with all on board. A remarkable case iu dentistry is men tioned by the New Brunswick (N. J.) Times, of a citizen of that town, who, after the extraction of a tooth with which he had been long tormented, but in which the only part apparently unsound was so minute as not to admit the insertion of a delicate needle, discovered on crackin" it with a hammer that it was a mere shell in which lived a nondescript six-legged bug, which ran briskly about the table on being released from its prison. As the gentleman is confident that the animal could not have made its way through the perforation from without, he considers this Rclear case of spontaneous jjewcration. inv .. 5 Cltt-lllattt.n i,LN' f.. became itl., hf ,(,,;,r.-;t.r, nt'ttt beautiful r, , ,; ' ' ' i-v.
