THE U. S. Senate sat all night of
Wednesday of last week, the majority
being determined to force a vote on the
proposition to appoint Commissioners
to visit San Domingo and make report
as to the propriety of its purchase, as
recommended by the President. Sena
tor Sumner, who last season fought and
contributed largely to defeat the treaty
negotiated for the purchase of the island,
was the principal opponent of the pro
posed commission in Wednesday night's
debate. Ile made an elaborate and of
course very able speech in opposition to
the whole project, aradverting with
a goosl deal of severit on the President's
tenacity in pressing the scheme.—
Messrs. Coskling, Edmunds, Morton
anftye replied in defence of the Presi
dent, other Senators taking part in the
protracted debate, pro and con, The
discussion was characterized by great
ability, and at times was somewhat
acrimonious, inyolving alleged points of
veracity between Senator Sumner and
the President.
A vote was finally reached at 6 o'clock
on Thursday morning, when the resolu
tion was adopted, ayes 31, nays 9. The
'only Republicans voting in the negative
were Messrs. Morrill, of Vermont, Pat
terson, Schurz, Sumner and Tipton.
The Democratic Senators were mostly
paired off with Republicans, who pre
ferred not to sit out the seqsios.
ThelQlution will come up in the
House, aftert . the holiday recess, where
it will be championed by Gene. Butler
and Banks, and will again challenge
protracted debate. The proposition
now before Congress, is simply to
Appoint commissioners to investigate
and report on the facts, about which
these has been a wide divergence of
opinion. But the President, who re
gards the acqusition of San Domingo as
a matter of vital importance to the
future commercial interests of the coun
try, believes that such investigation will
establish the correctness of his views.
THE Pennaylvauia Legislature wil l
meet on Tuesday next. We hope to be

district, gives the Democracy the organ

will probably be elected Speaker, and

some years, to dispense patronage at

The most painful scene of the disaster
was the appearance of Mrs. Emily yen
nearly, of Baltimore, the housekeeper,
at a window it the fifth story, with one'
or two other ladies, screaming:for help.
,The fire companies' ladderswere put up,
but failed by" two stories to reach the
window. While the firemen were mak
ing efforts to lengthen the ladders the
crying women disappeared in the thick
smoke and were lost, the room brighten
ing np a moment after with the flames.
I A. C. Shaffer, the State Printer, who
was in the fourth story, escaped by drop
ping from window cornice to window
dirnlce till he reached the ground safe,
though badly burned. A man made his
appearance at one of the upper windows
paralyzed by fear, tearing paper into
small pieces and throwing them out
of the window, until he sell back into
the flames.
The guests lost all their clothing, and
the ladies had to walk bare-footed over
the frozen snow, in their night clothes,
to reach shelter. About a dozen per
sons were burned in the ruins, including
H. A. Thomas, agent for the panorama
of the Pilgrim's Progress; W. H. Pace,
of Danville, Va., United States mail
agent; J. B. Farris, messenger of the
Southern Express Company; Erasmus
Ross, clerk of Libby Prison during the
war; Mrs. Emily Kzunearly, Wouse
keeper; Samuel W. Robinson, clerk; and
Samuel Hines, clerk; others are missing.
Thette communicated to the adjoin-'
ing block of buildings, all of which were
consumed. Loss about $300,000, the
Spottswood Hotel alone costing $130,-600.
THE news from France this week is
meagre. A battle of some magnitude
took place on the 23d °near Amiens, in
the north of France, between the Ger
mans under Gen. Manteufl'el and the
French under Fairdhohe. Both sides
claim a victory; but the French, as
usual, retreated after the battle, the
Germans following up and seizing vari
ous French positions thus abandonded.
This looks much like a French defeat,
although the battle may have been with
out decisive results. The Germans
seized six English ships in the Seine,
near ilouen, and sunk them to interfere
with the navigation of the river. Their
seizure produoed considerable sensation
in England, and may lead to serious
diffic tilty.

Schenck was defeated by a rejection of

1: On the first appearance of the dia
, ease the patient should be placed in a
separate apartment, as near the top of the
house as possible, from which all curtains,
carpets, bed hangings, and other needless
articles of furniture should be removed,
and no perion ezeePt the medical attend
ant and the nurse or Mother permitted to
enter the room. 2. A basin containing a
a solUticin of chloride of lime or carbolic
acid should be placed near the bed for the
patient to spit in. 3. A large vessel con
taining water, into which has been poured
either Comly's fluid or the solution, •of
chloride of soda or lime, should be kept in
the room, and into this all the bed and
body linen, as soon as it is removed from
the patient, and all soiled towels,'
should be placed; having been kept there
for some time, the things may be removed
and sent to the laundress. 4. Pocket
handkerchiefs should not be used, but
pieces of rag employed instead, for wip
ing the mouth and nose of the patient;
each piece, after being used, should be im
mediately burned. 5. A plentiful supply
of water and towels should be kept for
the use of the nurse, whose hands of ne
cessity will become soiled bythe secretions
of the patient; in one hand basin the water
should be impregnated with Condy's fluid
or chlorides, by which the taint on the
hands may be at once removed. 6. All
glasses, cumplates, er or vessels used
in the sick room should be scrupulously
cleansed in boiling water, before being
used by other persons. -4. Outside the
door of the siek chamber a sheet should
be suspended so as to cover the entire
doorway; this should be kept constantly
wet with a solution of carbolic acid or
chloride of lime. The effect of this will
be to keep every other part of the house
free from infection. 8. The discharges
from the bowels.and kidneys of the patient
should be received into vessels charged
with disinfectants, such as the solution of
carbolic acid or chloride of lime, and im
mediately removed.
By these means, the poison thrown . off
from internal surface may be rendered
inert, and deprived of the power of pro
pagating the disease. 9. The thin skin
or cuticle which peels off from the hands,
face, and other parts of the body in con
valescent patients, is highly contagious.
The plan recommended for preventing the
poison from the skin begin disseminated
through the air is to jib oil or lard all
over the skin. This practice is to com
mence on the fourth day after the appear
mice of the eruption, and to be continued
every day until the patient is well enough
to take a warm bath. These baths should
be administered every other j ,day four
times, when the disinfection of the skin
may be regarded as complete. This, how
ever, should not be done without first con
sulting the medical attendant. The fore
going directions will apply to all kinds
of fever, small-pox_, and other contagious
diseases.
MOD* OP DISINFECTING J SICK ROOM.
-The patient having been removed, an
linen articles, such as sheets, towels, pH- .
low-cases, and body.linen, are to be disin
fected as by direction No. ii. This done
the blankets, cou.nterpaCies, and woollen
articles of clothing arc to be suspended on
lines, and the mattresses and beds placed
over the backs 'of chairs, the windows
closed, and paper pasted over the crevices,
the chimney opening of the fireplace is
also to liaeffectually stopped up. An old
saucepan lid cir other open iron vessel is
next to be placed in the middle of the
room, into which a quarter of a pound of
stone lrimstone, broken into pieces, is to
be put; the brimstone is then to be ignited,
and the person who does it must immedi
ately leave the apartment, close the door,
and paste paper over the crevices. At the
expiration of twenty-four hours the room
may be entered, and the door and windows
thrown open to allow the fumes of sulphur
to escape. By this propess the room and
jverything in it may be considered to have
b♦en thoroughly disinfected.

Ma. EDITOR:—I am but expressing the
unanimous opinion of the very large audi
ence which greeted our amateur singers
at the Lutheran Church of New Oxford,
on Thursday eve4ing last, when I 'say
that the crdertainment was an epeetlingly
fine one, creditable alike to the performers
and to our town. The order of the ever:
cisea was as follows;--Singing by the
School, then prayer by Rev. W. F. P.
Davis. The school then sang; "We come
with glad acclaim," after which the Sup
erintendent read 'a portion of the second
chapter of St. Lule : The school then
sang ' 4 112 it Nankn," Vic., he this sak
erintendent read the Report of the school,
complimenting the scholars, teachers, Ike.,
speaking of the past, present, and future
of the school. The school then sang the
411usnisy tkhool Volunteer Song," after
which the Rev, Wrp, Mt }}sum, R. 13 9 of
York, addressed the school in ' usual
'haPpy style, suited for children; occas
ionally, however, he would tramp on the
toes of others, not as Paddy did, but to

The exercises opened with singing
Aome 4.3hejionlor teen the regular
Christmas se ices prepared for Sunday
Schools for the\ Church was used. The
fchool then sangExeehris,"
after which the Geripel 1 n for the day
was read by the A'aator and the School
sang "Hark, what flcan those holy
voices ?" after which the actor with the
School engaged in prayer arrrding to the
prescribed form; next aineng by the
School, "Battling for the Lord:"
An address was then delivererl\by the
Rev. Mr. Davis, who dwelt on tbe \sym
bolic character of the decorations. The
sides of the gallAry were decorated by the
suspension of Evergreens in each of whieti
was one of the_ names of the Saviour. To
the left 'of tire - Christmas tree, which was
the cefttit of attraction to the children in
virtue of the presents thereon, was sus
pended the first wreath. On the diameter
was the appropriate inscription in guilded
letters, "Urn Loan," indicating that it
is through Him we find access to a throne
of grace, who nci'w dwells in eternity;
while the Wreath was an emblem of per
ishable- things. So be, who was born
in Bethlehem on Christmas day, took
upoktseif flesh and blood, which must
return ence it came.
Between;the first. and second wreaths
was suspended the Ape:fifties creed; hand
somely decorated with evergreens. In the
second wreath was the name JESUS. This
was the name given the Saviour by the
Angel, at the first announcement to the
Virgin Mary, that a son should be born of
her whose name should be JESUS. The
intelligence came to Mary by a messenger
from Heaven, who dwells in Eternity, of
whicli_the wreath reminds the observer.
The wreath contained the Saviour's
official name, Omer, which means an
notated or consecrated by the Father at
his baptism. In the middle of the rear
gallery WAS suspended a handsomely or
namented motto, '"God bless our Sunday
School." The next three wreaths con
tained, in their proper order, the prophetic
as well as official names of Christ. All
Prophets in the old Testament were
special agents of Jehovah to declare God's
will to his people. So the Saviour as
Prophet was a special agent or teacher
sent from God—but differed greatly from
the former Prophets in this respect. His
message was not only from Heaven but he
himself was from the bosom of the Father.
And instead of offering victims for sin on
Jewish Altars—HE offered himself upon
(the Cross) the altar °Mod as the Lamb
of God for ,the sin of the whole world.
On the same side of the gallery, be
tween the wreaths containing Priest
arid King, was suspended the Lord's
Prayer. This, as well as all the wreaths,
was handsomely decorated and chimes in
with the idea of eternity, which runs
through all the', decorations in a true
churchly way. This now leads us back
ith the eye of faith to the Manger in
Bethlehem in which the infant Saviour was
born. On the gallery, between the two
columns entwined'- with ever-greens, was
suspended a large and beautiful Star,
decorated with box-wood, representing
the Star of Bethlehem. This star was lit
up no as to east a beautiful /tato of light
upon a large green cross in the altar, upon
_which was inscribed, in large guilded let
ters, "Jsus Christ is born in Bethlehem."
An arch spanned the Church above the
pulpit from gallery to gallery, with the
beautiful inscription -as sung by the
angelic hoist on Christmas morn, "Glory
to God in the Highest, on Earth Peace and
Good Will toward Men." The lettering
was made of box-wood, most beautifully
arranged and artistically executed.
Dr. McClure, the superintendent of the
School, followed with appropriate remarks,
congratulating the School, which should
be thankful to God for the preservation of
the lives of the scholars, and the propiti
ous smiles of heaven in the perpetuation
of the School, and for the permission once
more to moot under circumstances of so
much mercy: not one soul died during the
year, of the school.
The bestowing of gifts'upon the scholars,
from the Uhristtnas tree so bountifully
loaded, took place, the children coming
forward as their names were called to re
ceive them,' their bright happy faces in
dicating the pleasure with which they
greeted this feature of the celebration.
The children during the year made a
liberal contribution to the Orphans at
Womelsdorff, and during the evening a
collection was taken up for the same pur
pose.
The School them sang, "Hark the Glad
sound, the Sariour's pomp," Then after
some remarks by the Pastor, the "Dox
ology" was sang, the Benediction pro
nounced, and the School sang in con
clusion, the "Christmas Anthem."

THE BREVITY OF LIFE.
'Tis not for into to trifle, life 19 brief.
Our age is but tie falling of a leaf.
We have no time to sport away the hours,
All must be earnest in a world like ours.
Not many lives, but one have we,
How.sacred should that one be."
And still_ sow many fritter away - their lives, un
able to fill any useful purpose, because some ling
ering disease unfits Rem for It, and they neglect
or refuse to use the remedies within their reach.
God In his wonderful arrangement of nature has
provided an' ntidote for all the Ills that human
flesh Is heir to, and by the aid of science the med
icinal virtuts of certain herbs, roots and barks
have been combined and the result Is known ail
over the civilized wind as haBHiltlpB HERB
BITTERS. It thoroughly purifies the blood, in
vigorates the nervous fibres, elevates the stand
ard of all the vital forces, and sustains a moat
healthful tone-of the entire human organization.
