This question nas fully 4i.--.cnwi by the reewspapers of the State after the adoption of tli new constitution, l.4-t iKc-embcr, as wall ax by many able sifd prominent larr- yeis, and the conclusion was almost o:ii- versal tii.it the i'not bieaiiial session of the Legislature must comment-i on the first Tuesday in January, 1373. IV publish in this week's -r.st-i the prospectus of the Pittsburgh Po.it for the year 1873, and direct the attention of our 1 saders thereto. It is certainly not necea-i-ary that we ahould writ a lengthy notice in commendation of a apcr e well and favorably known throughout the .State aud eountry as is' the Pout. It is conducted with very decided ability, i.s a fearless and unswerving advocate of Democratic princi ple, and'd-.iring tho icccn campaign con tributed mainly in achieving the glorious and unparalleled D-rocrat;c victory in Al legheny'eouuty. Let it meat with a wide and generous support. t-ec .-e- It seems that Grant, notwithstanding the recent overwhelming eipietsion of piuiou against his administration, has not abandoned his idea of a thiid term. In a late conversation ha is reported as having said that in South Carolina, where the IJe publiean State Convention, (composed of a majority of negroes and cat i t-baggers) passed a resolutiou endorsing liim for a third term, the people'sustaint d its actioa by electing its nominee, Chamberlain, to the office of Govornor. This ia true and we doubt not the dominant party in that plne d?rcd and oppressed State would vote to elect him to a third or any other number f terms. lint the country is against the project, and if Grant cannot realize the iueauing of the late elections he has not the olitical sagacity which his friends claim for him. Tub result of tho Congressional election iu tho vark.ua districts in Western Penn sylvania shows a complete political revolu tion. When Cambria couiity was placed between Somerset and lliair, it was sup posed by tho radicals at Harrisburg who framed and passu J the bill that iho world bo crushed between the upper and nether political millstoue. Hut j clil icians pro pose aad the puople dispose. Cambria county Cave John Rei'dy a majority of lbOo, almost GOO more than Somerset gave Ir. Iilair. Wo live i;i a high and cold latitude, as do also our Somerset, neigh bors, and were oace referred to on the floor of Congress by a distinguished son of E.inai'ket as tho "frosty sons of thunder," "We voted hijh on tho third of November, and -with the aid and assistance of the sterling Democracy of Iilair and Bedford, taughttho tricksters who framod the Con gressional apportionment bill that "some things can bo done as wall as others." West of the Allegheny mountains th Democracy have elected the following named Congressman : Itcilly in this iis. trict Democratic gain ; Jenks in the Iodiana'district a Democratic gin ; Tur ney in the Westmoreland district ; Hopkins nnd Cochran iu Allsgbeny county a gain of two ; tiheakley in the Mercer district, .mother gain ; and Egbert in the Venango district, still anether gaiu. The only He publicau member elected in the western rart of tho State is Wallace, from the Lawrence district. This aunimaiy tails the whole story and wipes out the last vestago of radiealisni in Wester Pennsyl vania. In another column of our paper we pub lish a well wiilten communication signed "Susquehaoaa," sent to us from the towrt ihip of that name, in the northern portion ff this county, and adjoining Clearfield county, by a much valued friend and sub scriber, in favor of the election of Hon. William A. Wallace to the lnited Statea Benate. Wo take no exception whatever either to the toaa or temper of the com munication, which is piudut acd ia good taste. Mr. Wallace is wll and honorably known to the Democracy or Susquehanna tovrn--hip, whuse business interests are closely identified with the lumber business on the Susquehanna river in this couaty, anoxia the adjoining county of ClcaiJield, and wa theicfcre give great, credit to our cories pondent for his advocacy of Mr. Wallace. II deserves all the praise that, "Sutsqne hanua" has bestowed on him. We know him loag and well, and have never in tho past, nor will we in the future, say one word to his dircredit. The Democracy of Cambria county on more than one oeca ion have manfully sustained him as their candidato for elactioa to the State Senate, for which Mr. Wallaeo no doubt feels grate ful. But nevertheless we are, as we said last week, the friend of Judge Bhck for Senator, and, in opposition to "Susque hanna," say that Jeremiah B. Biack, al though oiler than Mr. Wallace, is jet as "practical" a man as thelatUr. Let the discussion of the real merits of tho difhjreut candidates be conducted hf their respective friends in a spirit of har mony and conciliation, and the leult of our glurious victory in this Stala will give us a Senator as the successor of John Scott who will be satisfactory so the Demot lr.cy of PenuylvAnia aud who will eonfer honor UU the station. Ir is a wi-i! Vrown fact that fince the Indira! jailylias been in foivcr iti t!:e I.ojsint nre of this State .t has bhatuefuHy disfranchised the Democracy in every sp porticunteut bill, whether Congressional or State, which it became its duty under tho law t enact. lion. Cyru3 L. Persh ing, now President Judge of Schnylkiil county, but then the Representative from this county, asserted in bis place in the Assembly iu 1604, when the Senatorial and Legislative apportionment bill of that year was uaier constipation, that it was so infamous and usjust in its character that no Republican member coold vote for it without eommitt'mg moral perjury. Mr. Perching was a truthful and an honest man. The same game of political fraud and ir.juntice has beeu practiced by tho Radical majority ever since. One yaar rgo the Stale was required to be iistricted intoCongrcssioual districts. Harry White, who was n rrjcrr.Lcr of the Senate and who wanted to go to Congress, made, and with tho aid of certain Democrats in that body who also had their own political axes to grind, passed a Congressional apportion ment bill. That that bill was outrageous and iniquitous is not denied. White road a his own district to secure his own election, as ho then supposed. That district two years ago gave Hartranft a majority over Buckalew of'i.GTS, and at the late election Whito was defeated by George A. Jcuks, a young but active Democrat of Jefferson county, by over 500 majority. There was no district in the Stato in which such su perhuuiau efforts were made te elect a can didate as in White's. He had ox roali, reminding one of the old political clap-trap of 4,tv.o do!Iai-3 a day and roa.il lerf." He brought Governor Ilartranft into his coun ty, and United States Senator John Scott, and State Senator Rutan, but theirspeeches all fell still-born ou the people. The young Democratic candidate (Jcnks) from Iirook ville, was triumphantly elected, because the-people believed him to bo an honest mau and White a finished demagogue. White's political disaster and his connec tion with tho passage of the Congressional apportionment bill fully aud politically il lustrates the truth cf the Spanish proverb, that "young chickens will always come home to roost."

Another poetic eenius h as been incnivtit to the production of the following touching parody on a familiar song.

One of the most important and indis pensable auxiiai ies to American civilization and progress is tho country press. Metro politan journals are often apt to ignore the intlucnceof the country press, whereas it is the greatest of all motive powers to toots tLe pooplo iu any given iiection. The great city journals may advocate a thing, and work up the people in the centres of population, but the millions in tho rural districts aio apt to follow the lead of their home journals, consequently in effecting any great national reform it is of tho first importance to socaro the co-operatioa of the country press. This may bo easily done, by showing them that the proposed reform is correct in prineiple and worthy of public approba tion. It may be set down as a general lirnOfit.ion that, tho rmmtiir nrett ic less by mercenary and material interests than the city press. And when the conn try press is united in the advocacy of any given proposition, it is generally more ef fective in its advocacy than that of city journals. The reason for this is obvious. The editor of the weekly journal maybe said to speak to his acquaintances, whilo the cr.itor of the city daily speaks largely to strangers. Tho former's circle of read ers is cenfiaed mostly to his owu neighbor hood, and is cowpwscd of those, whoas he moots in the every day walks of life. He knows all their peculiarities, tho weak and strong points ia their character, and knows just how to appeal to them to carry conviction. This is necessarilly not the case with tho writer upon a metropoli tan journal, and he contiuually runs the risk of offending his auditors by his modo of reasoning, thereby destroying tho force of an otherwise logical arguaient. Holding the position that tbey do, the conductors of country press are placed un der a responsibility that shonld lie proper ly appreciated and valued. They are the educatoi s of their readers and the moulders of public opinion. They make the moral sentiment of their immediate community either coarse or refined as tLey choose. It ia easy to judge of the character of the local press y studying tho general charac ter of a given community, w hile it is equal ly easy to determine tho character of the community by a careful study of the local piess. If one is high-toned, refined, ener getic and progressive, tho other Is sure to bo the same and rice rersa. The local journal owns a very grave duty to the community in w hich it "is published and circulated, and a duty that no man should lightly assume, but should enter upon understanding?. But we have fre quently noticed that too many country jour nalists imagine that their readers are only entitled to dull, heavy and turbid reading natter, ransackod from the remote orners of the most somnolent city publications. This is a grave mistake. Give your readers something light and airy and entertaining, without being frivolous and deleterious. What they road should be ciisp and fresh, not stale and musty. They h::ve a right to expect it, and the editor has no right to disappoint them. Every subject that is worth discussing, is worth d.cussing in a pleasant and entertaining stjlv, at once at tractive and instruotivc. It'is a great mis take to issagino that the peopi-i, isp?oiaily in the rural districts, delight in heavy ar.d solemn disquisition. Such t.'iin-sare op posed to all of thoir surroumi'ng.s. Nature is very gay and varied and happy, teaching her lessons in songs aad symphon ies; iu the silent beauty of the lowers; iu tho golden glory of the sunlight; the diamond fchtter of the stars; the deep foliage of the trees; the gentle sigh of tho zephyrs and the grand and awe-inspiring battle cry of he storms that shake the bills to their founda tions. But there is no dullness in nature; there is placid beauty, merry whispers or peace aud quietude, but life always life. We have said that the local press owes much to the community, but the indebted ness is mutual. Coaamunity owes much to tho local press. No raao is truly a good citizen, unless he supports his koine news paper. Ho owes it to himself, tohisfamilr and the general welfare. Without a health v and hearty support, the local prose can do nothing, and as a reforming agency becomes a failure. No mau goes t a stranger to contribute to the building up of the interests of his own household. He goes to woik and strengthens and vivifies hi own domestic agencies. The man who refuses to support his home paper, but patrouiz-s only a for eign institution, is simply robbing himself. It Is his home paper alone that ceaselessly looks after his home interests and Jabot s to build up the community in which he lives. Tho distant city journal cannot be expected to do this, for there are too many separate communities where it eirenlates. i'our firstduty is to hslp what helps you, and un lesajyou do it you cannot permanently pros- The highest typo of patriotism is an tin deviating support of home institutions, and sinee it is conceded by common consent that the press is the great national edneater. no man can claim to bo patriotic and refuse to support his home paper, if he can possibiy spaie the small amount necessary to nav his yearly subscription. We have reason to b-.heve that nearly all our distant subscri bers to Thi Weki,t Post, also patronize the home journal of their choice. We in variably recommend them to pursue this course, and where it is absolutely impossil bie for them to take two papers, we reccm roend them to tako their home journal in preference. While we fnrnish vastly more reading matter, for nominally the same subscription price, than owr rural contemporaries, the comparative valne of tho two publications should not be overlooked. Their values are eMrTerent, but none the less essential and indispenoible. In our Wbbii.y Post wo furnish a complete and compendious resume of general intelligence, and oarefnlly select ed and edited literary and miscellaneous reading matter. This constitutes its value, and makes it a pleasant, entertaining and welcome visitor to tho rural ICreside. But their home paper possesses a value that it is impossible to give to ours. We refer to its local news, and its advocacy of local In terests. This alone brings its subscribers lopeated returns on their investments iu the eonrse of a year. First take your homo paper and then subsenbo for Tub Weikli Post. Pitts burgh Poll. A Monstrosity.

It was oue of his cus toms, runs tho now extraordinary revela tion, to be shaved at borne, and the duty was performed by a colored barber who came regularly for the purpose. In Jit. Stanton's private apartment stood an im provised shaving chair, and to this the trusty valet would go, at tho appointed tune, to perform his duty. Mr. Stanton had been apparently failing gradually in health for a week, and bad become so des pondent as to almont excite fears of an aberration of tho mind. On the evening of the 23d of December, the colored valet called to nhave Mr. Rtanton. They were left alone in the private apartment, and Mr. Stanton took Lis seat in the chair. Tho barber had partly finished his task, and laying down the razor on a littio table beside ?Jr. Stanton, stepped across the room for some water. A movement start led him, and he tiu-:ied just in time to see the glittering steel flash by the bared throat, leaving a streak in its wako. Hush ing to the side of Mr. Stanton, the barber caught the razor before another stroke could be made. lie called for help, and in a f.- T moments there were at the bedside the Surgeon General, a few trusty attaches of tho government, and one or two mem bers of tho family. The work bad been done, however, and the life current reach ed. At three o'clock next morning Mr. tanton was dead. How well the secret of his death has been kept, those who read this may know." A Child Arswiuiho tbtb Df.icription of Charlie IJrewstrr Itoss Discovered in West Virginia. A few weeks ago a manand woman, traveling on foot through the country, stopped over night with a fara U?,?,? 1Ict:rm"i "ear Barboursville, .V a. Next morning they left before day, without taking their boy. McCarmas, not wanting him, gave him to the family of W. V ..Peyton. This boy answers the descrip tion f Charlie Brewster Iloss, abducted from Philadelphia in July last. Wis hair has been cut close, but is of a light color eyes hazel; has a peculiar look, which is not exactly cross-eyed ; shades them with his arm when looking up, is three feet and an inch or two in height, and about four years old. He had pait of an unbleached Panama hat on. The body is perfectly formed, skin very fair, except a scar of a burn u the right arm, which might havo been done to efface vaccination marks eyebrows very light, eyelashes long for so young a boy ; speaks some words plain, others not. To the question : "What pouy did mamma drive," answered "Polly." Ho said George Sloopeo, or somo such name, lived next door. His sifter's name is Joanna, and brother's name Walter. Ho said hi brother was put out of tho carriage and he taken off. Many who have oom pnrsd the boy with tho photograph of Ross say the features of both correspond. Poy tonays ho will give tho boy up for f 5,000.

A petrified butterfly was foend In a Dnbnqno quarry the other day, and ell the delicate outlines are as perfect as in life. A Vermont legislator, aged CO, made his first railroad journey a few days ago, while on his way to take bis seat for tho present session. An old sea captain of Lewis comity, Ji!as., whose rge is ninety-five, is just aoout leading to the altar a sprightly dam sel of ninety-six. Artificial butter is becoming quite an important article in trade. Large factor ies are in operation in Hamilton, Canada, and other places. The estate of the lata Thaddeus Stev ens at Laueaster is worth from $100,000 to $ 150,000, which goes to founding an or phan asylum in that city. The meanest man has just been dis covered in Washington county, Iowa. He has applied for a divorce ou the ground that his wife is an invalid. A man at East Lyme, Conn., has been in bed for six years. I3o was rejected by his sweetheart, and has consoled himself ever since by lying in bed. Mrs. Porter, of Idaho City, has fallen heir to property in St. Louis valued at $ 1. 000,000. Such a woman, if single, could marry who she pleased, as any man would be glad to supporter. A Montgomery (Va.) paper relates that a colored boy in its vicinity displays a pas sionate craving for kerosene, which he drinks in large quantities and which pro daces wild intoxication. The London Daily Telrnraph states that a Socialist conspiracy has been dis covered in Russia, and adds that 3,000 per sons, including many ladies and several persons of hiu rank, havo been arrested. -Advices from New Orleans Tuesday noon states that Jhe steamer Empire, run ning to tho lower coast, overloaded with sugar sank at the foot of Conto street. Thirty to forty lives were lost. Tho Pittsburgh Commercial shows that tho overwhelming defeat of the Re publicans in Pennsylvania was due mainly to stay at-home members of that party. It fails to tell, however, why they stayed at homo. Eleven of the original thirteen States have repudiated Grant rule. Rhode Is land, where poor rnen are not allowed to vote, and South Carolina, which is con trolled by neirroes, are tho only ones that sustain him. A Madison count y (Til.) girl only thir teen years old recently killed a rattlesnake, which measured five feet two inches in length and nine inches in eiren inference at tho largest pari. His rattles numbered twenty-seven. L'dderzook was bung at West Chester ; Pa., on Thursday last. Ho died without making a confession. On the same day O'Mara and Irvin were bung at Montrose, this State, for the murder of O'Mara's mother and sister. The Vermont Senate bag unanimous ly voted to send Senator Morrill's back pay. which he placed to the credit of the State to the Treasury of the United States, where it belongs, and the House w ill doubt less concur in this action. Particulars of the typhoon in China dining the last week in September show that the loss ef life in and about Hong Kong and Macao amounted to 39,000 souls, and the destruction of property is estimated at not. less than $50, 000,000. The troubles in the Wilkesbarre coal reeions are growing worse. A perfect r-'ign of terror prevails. Four men were murdered on Saturday and Sunday and four brutally assaulted and terribly maltreated. No arrests have been made. Louise Kellojrg fastens hor garters with $500 diamond clasps. Anna Dickin son snaps a pair of amethysts round her little calves, and the widow of Captain Jack ties up her old army socks with a pair of Shacknasty Jim's old suspenders. It having beeu asserted that (Jen. Sherman is a Freemason, the Boston Pilot says it lias the very best authority for say ing that the General is not and never was connected with anj secret society, and the great probability is that be never will be. Harry White, the "fortunate victim of Rebel prisons," held two offices last year State Senator and member of the Constitutional Convention; now be don't hold any, the people having reduced him totUeranko. "Unfortunate victim" would now be more appropriate. Wm. Guynan, a drunkard, of Spring field, Mass., tried to reform until he be came convinced that bis appetite was stronger than his will.

There can be no change in the politi cal complexion of tho United States Senate before March 3, 1S79, except by the inter vention of death or resignation. The Re publicans, therefore, will maintain their ascendancy in that branch of our national legislature until that time, unless in case of some unforseen contingency. At Salisbury, N. C, Friday, two color ed men went to the house of an old citi zen, supposed to have a large sura of mon ey on hand, and demanded his cash. Be ing refused, one of them fired at tho ren- t ie no an, and slightly wounded him in the face. The old man's wife, who is over fif ty years of age, then struck the assailant on the head with a spade and killed him on the spot. The political revolution in Massachu setts has accomplished perhaps as much in the way of tranquilizing the south as any thing that has occured since the war. In the grand procession in New Orleans in honor of the conservative victory in that State the other day there was carried a transparency with the following motto : "Massachusetts $53,000 to tho sufferers ia Louisiana ; God bless Irer 1" Ben. Butler declares that it is not his intention to start a new party either to gratify his friends or divert bis political enemies. Some cynic has observed that nothing more is necessary to start a new religion than an old woman, a bell and a cat. In the eataclasrn of republicanism a a new party might be easily raised ont of its disjecta mernhra, but what endurance or vitality it would possess is another matter. -Thore is another Mormon sensation, caused by the report from Salt Lake City that John E. Lee, one of tho Saints, has been arrcstod and held at Beaver, Utah, as a prisoner, charged with being a party to the terrible Mountain Meadow massa cre of 1857, in which one hundred and twenty odd emigrants from Arkansas were bntchered.

The seewrity waa giren. 'A. ro'.'.ard, a pretty Kin jr ham- ton miner, doesn't want for beaus, since her deceased uncle left 334,000 in bonds and ready cash. Lucky woman I A negroliving near Talbotton, Oa., ia said to bo bewitched. When sitting up every nerve in his'body ttvitches, whilo he rraves backward and forward. Ho Las been in this condition for twelve months. He eats regularly, can walk, seems to be sensible of bis surroundings, but lias not spolTcn a word sine the r.ltaek began.

Lordon,ea Wed nesday avening to consider the questions laised in tho controversy between Glad stoneand Archbishop Manning. Speeches were made denouncing the imputations and assnmptions in Mr. Gladstone's recent pamphlet on tho Vatican decree?, and a resolution was unanimously adopted deslar ing thatthe civil loyalty of Raman Catholics is in nowise affected by the decree of Pa pal infallibility. A washerwoman from Bangor, Maine, who went to California somo j ears ago, bad two or three thonsand dollars deposit ed in Meigs's 'Frisco California Bank be fore he failed. After ho went to South America this woman heard of bis success in speculation, shipped herself to Chili, and one day turned unin Mr. Harry Meigs's office. The result of the interview was that he not only paid her the principle and interest of her account, but also paid the entire expenses of her trip. In Stoneham, Mass., a man and bs wife firmly believed that sicknes. health and death wore matters of immediate, di vine control, and were uuaffected by medi cal treatment. The wife fell ill. and thMr doctrine was implicitly adhered to. Fl e was anointed and prayed for by ber bus- band, but nothing else was done. Physi cians offered their services in vain. The woman believed to the last that God would interfere miraculously and save ber, and she died finally forlack of proper treatment. Iliac sacred bull over in Brooklyn, which possesses a human arm, and for which tho owner wants $30, COO, was, per haps, originally a very ordinary monstroci ty. It was a calf w ith five legs, but as a calf only needs four legs the extra mem ber bung useless by the animal's side and atroabicd, or, as the people say, "wither ed away" to tho rude semblance of a hu man arm 'with a horny hand." This, therefore, may have been very well for a sacred bull in Calcutta, but Brooklyn can do better. Warwick, in Franklin county, Tlass., has an old lady in the ninety-seventh year of her age, who has never seon a train of cars, though the railroad is only three miles away. Sho used to visit her friends iu Uoston when yoang, riding all tho way on horseback, making a journey of about three days. Her first visit was made eigh ty years sgo, when Ooorge Washington was President and Samuel Adams was Governor. She is sprightly and intelligent, aud now lives with hor daughter, a young lady of seventy. Two very remarkable incidents hap pene recently in the village of Fairhaven, opposite New Bedford. ?-Iass. Two aged sisters, who inhabited houses at opposite corners, died at the same time. Each ma tron was the head of a large family, each funeral was ppointel at the same hour. The Jiearse coetaininar the body nf the elrlest sister passed on first to the rpmetery, when the family, of tho other sister fe'.l into the line of mourners with their burden. A few days later two young ladies living in the same neighborhood died, who were engaged to- be married to two cousins. Their wedding dresses were their shrouds. Father Geideraann. now that he has been arreted and brought back to Phila delphia, puts a bold front upon his sudden departure from that city and from t'leCat'.i olic Church. He left tho la r "because cf its peculiar tenets." Why he did not do so before, be does not say ; but the reason, doubtless, was that be had not met Miss Wittich. nad the Father simply vacated and married this lady, he might have been regarded as a Hyacintbe or a small scale ; but the circumstance of his taking a few thousand dollars of church funds with him leaves him open to a charge of embezzle ment, and brings him directly before a criminal court. A strange turn In the remarkable pol itical tide has throw n to the surface a col ored Democratic memberof Congress from South Carolina. It seems that Rainey, the present Republican member from that state, brought to Washington a colored mun named Lee, whom he had appointed on the Capitol police. When Iiainey was renominated this summer he sent for Iee to come to South Carolina and help bim amonghisolored friends. Lee wentdown, looked ever the situation, saw tho dissatis faction existing among his own people, and decided to run against Rainey. The Democrats took liim up and elected liim. It will now be in orr'e.r for Lee to get Rain ey a place on the Capitol police forco. A strange potato was found at Xunda, N. Y., recently, which the Dansviile Atl rcrtinar describes as follows : "It was dug in mat town, weighed about three pounds, A i , -. . and coatained within itself a verv singular thing. A stem like something protruding from one end was seen to move as if it had life. Tho potato was cut open, and the stem was found to be tho tail of a some thing inside which seemed to be half potato and half animal. It was about as large as a mouse, with a brown color, was shaped like a potato, with indentations like potato oyes, and yet seemed to be composed of animal flesh, and had life and motion I No one had seen anything at all resembling it. xt was to tic taken to Rochester and shewn to scientists." A 'West Chestor correspondent of the Baltimore 7, writing under dato of the 13th, says : The body of VTm. E. Uddrr zook, executed on Thursday for the murder of W. S. Goss, was removed in its colHu from the prison yard, where be was banged, and was conveyed away from West Ches ter in the direction of Philadelphia. Ud derzook's mother and others assisted in re moval. Tbe ultimate destination of tho remains is not lenown, and great secrecy ia preserved in regard to the matter, proba bly from fear of body-snatchers if the place of interment was divulged. The mother returned to tbe prison Thursday evening after the execution, and was very teuch af fected by the sight of her son. The body in death was life-like. A search was made of the iron-lined cell in which Udderzor.k had been incarcerated, but no papors were found secreted. In France was recently annonnoed the death of a young cavalry officer ef the French army who was heir of an illustri ous name and descendent of the aaoiect kings of Ireland. Tho Marquis Henry O' Neill, lieutenant in the Seventh chasseurs, was a direct descendant of Hugh O'Neill, King of Tyrone, who for fifteen years, from 1338 to 1603, maintained an obstinate war with Queen Elizabeth to reconquer the throne of his ancestor, Neill tho Great, and to defend the Catholic faith. At theoourt of Philip IV, Henry O'Neill, son of Huh, who died at Rome, styled himself Henry O Iseill, Prinre of Ultonia, Count of Vaf mont and Tyrone. Viscount of; Monjoy, baron of Dugannone and Strabhan, pu premc lord of the two states of upper and lower Clandooyes, and legitimate succes l th crown of Ireland. In tho family of .-daeMahon there are severM allianet-s with this family of the O'Neill, suruarued the tJreat because of the kings, piiaceaand saints which Jt has furnished.
