/-PROVES- —Large numbers of horses and
mules are daily passing through our town, des
tined for an eastern market. “What becomes
of all the mules and horses.” is a question wo
often hear asked, but which is never satisfac
torily answered.
TttE Atphoacii OF Spuin'"..—For several '
days past the weather has been exceedingly j
pleasant and spring-like. The merry notes of
little warblers, lead ns irresistably to look for
ward, and to anticipate, wilh delightful en
thusiasm, the approach of Spring. The month
of March, however, is proverbial for its fickle
ness—for its intermingling showers and flitting
gleams of sunshine—for a wild mixture of
clear and cloudy skies. It will be some weeks,
we presume, before the weather becomes “set
tled." but vet. from present indications, it is
supposed by most of our weather-wise folks
that we will have an early spring. So mole it
be.

Institute, at Mccbamrsburp- We feel great :
conQdcncc in recommending this Seminary to
the notice of parents and puardians. Mr. 1-oosk
is a gentleman possessing superior qualifica
tions as a teacher, and has associated with him
able and accomplished Assistants. The bmld
ings arc large and well ventilated, and the lo
cation pleasant at all seasons of the year. The
erection of additional now and spacious budd
ings, has added very much to the convenience
and comfort of the pupils, and a much larger
number can now bo accommodated than here
tofore. All in all fheCiimborland Valiev Semi

by the immortal Washington, by which they

COXGte-FU\l ADJOURNMENT,
Congress adjourned sine die on Sunday night, !
the 4lh of Mar?b. The bills passed arc the 1
Civil and Diplomatic bill, the Naval Ap
propriation-;..bi11, the Army Apuropria-I
Uon bill, the Fortification bill the bill re-1
quiring pre-payment of postage, the Indian 1
Appropriation bill, the bill to carry into effect |
the Convention to settle claims between the j
I'nit cd-States and England, and a number of |
others which it is impossible to enumerate in ■
the confused account of the proceedings. The
Bounty Land bill, giving K>o acres to all who
served in any vrftr since 1790, bns received the
President's signature. This bill entitles all who
have already received land warrants for *lO and
80 acres, to recover, the first 120 and the sec
ond 80 acres additional. A large amount of
clerical force will be required in the Land ofltec
lo attend to thesfc claims, and it will probably
be months, if not years, before the claimants
can receive their warrants for they must be ex
amined, and the proofs established satisfactori
ly, before the warrant is granted. The Wash
ington correspondent ol the Philadelphia Led
ger. thus chronicles the closing scenes:
Half-past Eight—There living no quorum in

Mr. Pratt wanted to know whether it would

in Hashes of wit, at the expense of the friends
of defeated hills, tic.
The Sergcanl-nt-Annsflppcarcd. nt 9 o'clock,
and reported Ida 1 success in hunting up the
stray members. Excuses made by some of
them—‘they had retired to refresh themselves.*
On motion, nt twenty minutes past 9 o’clock,
nil further proceedings under the call wore dis
pensed with.
The House then took up and adopted the re
port of the Committee of Conference on the
Navy Appropriation hill. It makes a clean
appropriation for the existing mail service.
The Committee of Conference on the CUil
and Diplomatic Appropriation bill, made re
port, which was adopted.
The House took up and passed the Senate
hill increasing (he compensation of Dcglsfers
and Deceivers, under the Land (Irndnnlion act
of Inst rear.
Various other hills passed under a suspen
sion of the rules.
During the taking of the yeas ami nays, the
Clerk called Mr Benton’s name: that genMe
man. appearing at the door of the main aisle,
protested, with violent gesticulations, against
the calling of his name. He said he was an ex
member. and the session to-day was a libel on
the Sabbath. (Much confusion.]

The Speaker—Then, il the gentleman is not
a member, the Doorkeeper will put him nut.—
[Laughter, and exclamations of‘Pretty flood!’
■That’s the talk !’) The galleries are densely
crowded.
On motion, a Committee was appointed to
act with n similar Committee from the Senate,
to waiton the President .and inform him thatthe
Thirty-third Congress has dosed its labors ami
is ready adjourn, if he has no further commu
nication to make.
At half-past 11 o’clock. Mr. Lane.of Oregon, i
arose and said that, about to part, as he was,
with gentlemen here, he could not separate with
out apologizing for his conduct in the heat of
debate, some time since, towards Mr. Parley,
toward whom he cherished the kindest feel
ings.
Mr. Parley rccipro rated Hie feeling expressed,
and was satisfied.
Mr. Jones, of Tenn-, reported fi-om the Joint
Committee to wait oh the President, that they
had discharged llirlr duty, and learned from
the President that he had no further coinmnni*
cation to make to Congress.
Mr. On* moved, at ten minutes to 12 o’clock
that the House adjourn. -
The motion iraj agreed to amidst the great
est silence.
The Speaker (Mr. Tloyd) then rose and ro
tnmed'his thanks to the members for the high
honor conferred on him by the resolution, com*
plimentory to him, passed lost night, and said,
in conclusion:
“Being about to exchange the toils and cares
of official station for the more quiet and peace
ful pursuits of private life, hearing with'mc (he
consciousness that in my ofllcinl conduct I have
at least aimed well, these testimonials, in con

DatUrhig confidence and esteem on the part of
my fellow citizens at home, will be forever
cherished by me ns among the most gratifying
recollections of my past life. Tn this connec
