PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. To the Senate and House of Bepresentatives A year of peace and general prosperity to this nation has passed since the last as sembling of Congress. We have, through a kind Providence, been blessed with abundant crops, and have been spared from complications and war with foreign nations. In our midst, comparative har mony has been restored. It is to be regretted, however, that a free exercise of Lhe elective franchise has, by violence and intimidation, been denied to citizens, in exceptional cases, in several of the States lately in rebellion, and the ver dict of the people has thereby been re versed. The States of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas, have been restored to representation in our national councils. Georgia, the only State now without representation, may confidently be expected to take her place there also at the beginning of the new year ; and then, let us hope, will be corn pleteA the work or reconstruction, with an acquiescence, on the part of the whole people, in the national obligation to pay the public debt created as the price of our Union; the pensions to our disabled sol diers and sailors, and their widows and orphans, and in the changes to the Consti tution which have been made necessary by a great rebellion. There is no reason why we should not ad vance in national prosperi tyltnel happiness.m he other nation ever did after so protracted and devastating a war. Soon after the existing war broke Out in Europe, the protection of the United States Minister in l'aris was invoiced in favor of the North I;ernians domiciled on French territory. Instructions were!issued to grant the protection. 'Phis 1.111.8 been followed by an extension of American protection to cit izens of Saxony, Hesse, and Saxe-Coburg (bitlia, Columbia, Portugal, Uruguay, tile I)otninican Itepublie, Equador, Chili, Paraguay, and Venezuela, in Paris. The charge was an onerous one, requiring constant, severe labor, as troll as the exer eine of patience lit produce a good judg ment. It has been performed to the en tire satisfaction of this government, and, RS 1 ant officially informed, equally so to the satisfaction of the government of North c;ermairy. As soon as 1 learned that a republic had at Paris, and that the penile of 1•'1-.1110, hail acquiesced in the, change of the goVerlllllCol, the idinistor oft he United Stan, was directed by telegraph to recognize arid to Land, to Lham lily rlllviallialrlis Or the pooplo oflit' United State,.

Time hits Only r '4llll'lllod me in this view. I nowt firmly believe that the moment it is known that the United States have entirely abandoned the project, of San Domingo, it free port will be negotiated for European nations. Lt the ba y of Santana, a large commercial city will spring up, to which we trill be tributary, without receiving cor responding benefits, and then will be seen the folly of our rejecting so groat a prize. The government of San Domingo has vol untarily nought thin annexation. It is a weak power, numbering probably less than 120,000 souls, and yet possessing ono of the richest territories under the sun, ca pable of supporting a population of 10,1100,- 010 of people in luxury. The people of San Domingo are not capable of maintaining themselves in their present condition, and must look for outside support. They love the protection of our free institutions, and our laws, our progress, and our civiliza tion. Shall we refuse them? Theaequisi moll of San Domingo is desirable because of Its geographical position. It commands the entrance of the Carrlbean Bea r and the womiDorraleirw‘...liaanakviim DO r4rarineetimallerireiSeteli DI WM DI 1111011 DIU rM.IIII malirawriamociad Ilthmus transit of commerce. It possesses the richest soil, best and most capacious harbor, most salubrious climate, and most valuable products of the forest, mine and soil of any of the West India islands. Its posession by us will, in a few years, build up a coastwise commerce of immense mag nitude, which will go far towards restoring to us our lost merchant marine. It will give to us those articles which we consume so largely and do not produce, thus equal izing our exports and imports. In case of a foreign war, it will give us command of all the islands referred to, and thus prevent an enemy from over again possessing him self of a rendezvous upon our very coast. At present, our coast trade between the States bordering on the Atlantic and those bordering on the Gulf of Mexico, is cut n two by the Bahamas anti Antilles twice. We must, as it were, pass through foreign countries to get by sea from Georgia to the west coast of Florida.— San Domingo, with a stable government, under which her immenseresources can be developed, will give remunerative wages to tens of thousands of laborers not now up on the island. This labor will take advan tage of every available means of transpor tation to abandon the adjacent islands, and seek the blessings of freedom and its se quence, each inhabitant receiving the re ward of his own labor. Porto Rico and t;ti ha will have to abolish slavery as a meas ure of self-preservation, to retain their laborers. San Domingo will become a large consumer of the products ofnorthern farms and manufactories. The cheap rate at which her citizens can be furnished with food, tools, and machinery, will make it necessary that contiguous islands should have the same advantages. in order to com pete in the production of sugar, colic:, to bacco, tropical fruits, ,te. This will open to us a still wider market for our products. The production Or our (twit supply of the article« will cut oil more than 1110,000,0 W of our annual imports, be sides largely increasing our exports. With such a pitatire„it is easy to sue how our large debt abroad is ultimately L, ho ex tineuished. With a balance of trade against us, in cluding interest mi bonds held by foreign era, and money spent by our citizens trav eling in foreign 1 ., 111A1 to th , °Wire s viohl of tho preeions int•tals iu tlii, 1,1111- try, it is not Si, east lu Si..• !lOW this is to be otherwise The acquisition ot . :sat, Domingo is an adherence to the Monroe doctrine.

The COLICSO pursued by the Canadian an • therities, towards the fishermen of the United States, (luring the past season, has not been [narked with a friendly feeling. Itv the first article of the Convention of lath, between (treat Britain and the Cline,' States, it was agreed that the inhabitants of the United States should have forever, in coalition with their subjects, the right of taking fish in certain waters therein defined. In the waters not Included in the limits named in the convention within three miles of parts of the 13 ritish coast, it been the custom fur many years to give to intruding fishermen 01 the United States, a reasonable warning of their viola tion or the technical rights of Great Britain. The Imperial government is understood to have delegated the whole or a share of its jurisdiction:and control of these in-shore fishing grounds to the colonial authority known as the Dominion of Canada, and this semi•indi pendent, but irrCSIKMAibIo agent, has exercised its delegated honors in an wt friendly way. Vessels have been siezed without notice or warning, in viola tion of the custom previously prevailing., and have been taken into the colonial ports, their voyager broken up and the vessels condemned. There is reason to believe that this un friendly and vexatious treatment was de signed to bear harshly upon the hardy fishermen of the United States, with a view to political effect upon this government. The Statutes of the Dominion of Canada as sume a still broader and more untenable jurisdiction over the vessels of the United States. _ They authorize officers or persons to bring vessels hovering within three miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks or har bors of Canada, into port, to search the car go, to examine the master, on oath, touch ing the cargo and voyage, and to inflict upon him a heavy pecuniary penalty if true answers are not given, and if such a vessel is found preparing to fish within three ma rine miles of any such coasts, bays, creeks or harbors without a license, or after the expiration of the period named in the last license granted to it, they provide that the vessel, with her tackle, &Ai., itc., shall be forfeited. It is not known that any condemnations have been made under this statute. Should the authorities of Canada attempt to enforce it, it will become necessary to protect the rights of the citizens of the United States. It has been claimed by Her Majesty's officers, that the fishing vessels of the Uni ted States, have no right to enter the open ports of the British possessions in North America, except for the purpose of shelter and repairing damages of purchasing food and obtaining water. That they have no right to enter at the British,Custom House, or to trade there, except in the purchase of wood and water, and that they must depart within 24 hours after notice to leave. It is not known that any seizure of a fish ing vessel carrying the flag of the United States has been made under this claim. So far as the claim Is founded on an alleged construction of the convention of 1815, it cannot be acquiesced in by the United States. It is hoped that it will not be in sisted on by Her Majesty's Government.— During the Conferences which preceded the negotiations of the convention of 1818, the British commissioners proposed to ex pressly exclude the fishermen of the United States front the privilege of carrying on trade with any of His Britanie majesty's subjects residing within the limits assigned for their use, and also, that it should not be lawful fur the vessels of the United States, engaged in said fishing, to have on board :MS' goods, wares, or merchan dise, Whatever, except such as Inlay be ne,ssary tine the prosecution of their voyages tin and 1 . 1,111 said fishing grelinds, and any vessel of the United States whi c h shall contravene this negotia tion, ninny be seized, condemned, and con fiscated with her cargo. This proposition, which is indenticar with the construction now I,IIL 1111,41 t h e language of the conven tion was emphatically rejected by the A ineriean commissioners, and thereupon was abandoned by t h e British plenipotentiaries, and article 1, as it stands in the convention, was substituted. 11, however, it be said that this claim is founded en provincial or colonial statutes and not upon the conven tion, this government cannot but regard them ins unfriendly, ;11111 in contravention attic spirit, is not of the letter, of the treaty, fer the faithful execution, of which the inl perial government is alone responsible. Antieipating that an attempt may pos sibly lie made by the Canadian au thorities in tine coining season to repeat their unneighliorly ;Let toward our fisher men, I recommend you tin confer upon the Executive the power to suspend by pro claniation,:the opperation of the laws au thorizing the transit of goods, wares and merchandise inn bends across the territory or the United States, to Canada, and fur ther, should such an extreme measure he um to suspend the operation or :my laws, where by the vessels of the Do minien of canada are permitted to enter the waters of the l'uitis[ States. A like un friendly disposition has been manifested en the part cd . Canittla, in the maintenance of a clam of right to exclude the C 11.17,011, Of Ile: United States from the St. Lawrence. This river censtitutes a natural outlet to the uncut fOr eight States, with an aggre gate population of abmit 17,huo,non i n; habit anis, and with an aggregate tonnage of 661,- 1, tens ilium the waters which discharge into it. The foreign Veitiffierf, of our ports o ff those waters, is open to British :11111 the IllajOr part of it is done in British bothans. To state such a is to refute its justioe. During the administration of Mr. John Quincy Adams, Air.

The greatest living British autherity nn tins subject, while asserting the ;distract right of the British claim, says: "It sevens difficult tin deny that threat Britain may ground her refusal upon strict law, but it is equally difficult to deny, first, that in so doing she exercised harshly an extreme and hard law; secondly, that her conduct with respect to the navigation of the St. Lawrence is in glaring :mil discreditable inconsistency with her conduct with re spect to the navigation or the .lississippi." tin the ground that she possessed a small domain, inn which the Mississippi took its rise, she insisted on the right to navigate the entire volume of its waters. Bin the ground that she possesses both banks of the St. Lawrimee, where it disemliogues itself into the sea, she denies to the United States the right of navigation, though ;damn one-half of the waters of Lake Un tar., Erie, 1111,1.. in and Superior, and the whole of Lake :\lichigan, through which the river ilows, are the property of the United States.

(tor representatives to all these govern ments have exerted their influence to en )11 rat4c trade between the United States and the countries to 0 hich they are sI. But the fact exists that the carrying i., done almost entirely in foreign 1/11tt.0111`,, ;mil while link stateidatl.iirs exists we can not c introl our due share of the commerce of the world. That between the Pfleine States and (Anna and Japan, is about all the carrying trade conducted inn American ves sels. 1 would recommend a liberal policy toward that lineal American steamers, nine that will ensure its success, and even in rreased usefulness. The vest ot building iron vessels, the only ones that Can voninete with foreign ships inn tine carrying trade, is so much greater inn the United States than in foreign countries, that without some as sistance from the tiovernment they cannot be successfully built here. There will be several propositions laid before Congress in the course of the present session, looking to a remedy for this evil. Even if it should be at some cost to the Na tional Treasury, such encouragement should be given as will secure American shipping on the high seas, and American ship building at home. The condition of the archives at the De partment of State, calls for the early action of Congress. The building now rented by that department, is a frail struc ture, at inconvenient distance from the Executive Mansion, and from the other departments. It is ill-adapted to the purposes for which it is used ; has not capacity to accommodate the archives; and is not tireiiproof. Its remotesituation. its slender construction, and the absence of a supply of winter in the neighborhood, leaves but little hopes of safety for either the building or its contents, in case of the accident of a tire. Its destruction would involve the muss of the rolls containing the original acts and resolutions of Congress, of the historic re cords of the Revolution, and of the confed oration of tho whole series of diplomatic and consular archives since the adoption of the Constitution, and of the many other valuable records and papers left with that department, when it was the principal de• pository of the government. I recommend an appropriation for the construction of a building for the Depart ment, of the State. I recommend to your consideration the propriety of transferring to the Department of the Interior, to which they seem more appropriately to belong, all powers and duties In relation to the territories, with which the Department of the State is now charged by law or usage, and frog - 'the Interior Department to the War Department, the Pension Bureau, so far as it regulates the payment of soldiers' pensions. I would further recommend, that the payment of naval pensions, be transferred to one of the bureaus of the Navy Department. The average value of gold, as compared with the national currency, for the whole of the year 1869, was about 134, and for eleven months of 1870, the same relative value has been about 115. The approach to a specie basis is very gratifying, but the fact cannot be denied that the instability of the value of our currency is prejudicial to our prosperity, and tends to keep up prices to the detriment of trade. The estimates for the expenses of the government for the next fiscal year, are :f15,29-1346.01 less than for the current one, but exceeds fhe appropriations for the present year for the same items $8,571,127.56. In this estimate, however, is included $22,- 348,7:78.37 for public works heretofore be gun under Congressional provisions, and of .vhich only so much is asked as Con gress may choose to give. The appropriation for the same works for the present fiscal year was 11,934,510.08. The evils 01 a depreciated and fluctuating currency are so great that now, - when the premium on gold has fallen so much, it would seem that the time has arrived when, by wise and prudent legislation, Congress should look to a policy which must place our currency on par with gold at no distant day. The tax collected from the people has been reduced more than .5:50,0fr0,u00 per an num. By steadiness in our present course there is no reason why in a few short years the national tax-gatherer may not disap pear from the door of the citizen almost en tirely. With the revenue stamps disbursed by postmasters in every conununity, a tax upon liquors of all sort, and tobacco in all its forms, and by a wise adjustment of the tariff which will put a duty only upon those articles which we could dispense with, known as luxuries, and on those which we use more of than produce reve nue enough may be raised, after four years of peace and consequent reduction of in debtedness to fulfill our obligations. A further reduction of expenses, in addi tion to a reduction of interest account, may be relied on to make this practical revenue rellfrm. If it means this, it has my hearty support; it it implies a collection of all the income, for the support of the government, for the payment of the principal and inter est of the public debt, pensions, .lc., by di rectly taxing the people, then I am against revenue rehfrm, and confidently believe the people are with me. if it hearts failure to provide the necessary means to defray all the expenses of the government, and thereby repudiation of the public debt and pensions, then I MU still 1110r6 opposed LO such kind of revenue reform. Revenue reform has nut been defined by any of its advocates, to my knowledge, but seems hi be accepted as something which is It supply every man's wants without any cost or effort on his part. A true revenue reform cannot be made in a day, hot Must be the work of national legislation, and .1 . time. As soon "as the revenue can be dispensed with, all duty should be removed from pollee, tilt and other articles of universal use not produced by ourselves. . . The necessities of tho country compel us to collect revenue from our imports. An army of Assessors and Collectors is not a pleasant sight to the citizens; hut that on a tariff for revenue is necessary.— Such a tarif f , so far as it acts as an en couragement to home productilm, affords employment to labor at living wages, in runtrast to the pauper labor of the old world,:ind also in the developmen tut' house resource. Under the act of Congress of the 15th of .1 Lily ' Is7o, the army has gradually been reduced, so that Liu the IA day of Jan uary, IS? I, the number of ountuissioned officers and men trill not exceed the num ber contemplated by law. The War Department bonding, is an old structure, not tire-proof, and entirely inad o mato in. dimensions to our present wants. Many thousands of dollars are now paid annually ha rent of private buildings to accommodate the various bureaus of the Department. I recommend an appropriation fur a new War Department building, suited to the present and growing wants of the nation. The report or the Seeretary of Afar shows a very satisfactory reduction in the expen ses of the army for the la.st fiscal year. For details you are referred to his accompany ing- report. 'fire expenses of the navy Mr the whole of the last year—l. e., from Dec. 1, Hilt , . the date of the last report—are less than ;spo,- UOl,OOO, or almost $1,000,U00 less than they were the previous year. The expenses since the commencement of this fiscal year, i. e. since July 1, show a decrease or over Zfg,400,000 from those of the corresponding months of last year. The estimates for the current year Were $2 , 1,20. - 1,117i.37; those for next year are f.12u,- Is:1,:l 17, with 1955,100 additional for neces sary and permanent improvements. These estimates are made closely for the Mere Of the naval establishment as it now is without much ill the ma.are ei government improvement. The appropriations made for the last and current years, were evidently intended by Congress, and are sufficient only, to keep the navy on its present Muting, by the re pairing and refitting of our old ships. This policy 151151, of course, gradually, but surely destroy the navy, anti it is in it self far from oomotnieal, as ouch year that it is pursued, the necessity for Pule repairs in ships and navy yards becomes more im perative and more costly, and our current expenses are annually increased for the leers , repair Of ships , many 1111/s1 m,lll/1 1 0011 - 11! unsafe and 11Seleti, 1 hope, during the present session of Congress, to be able to subwit to it a plall by e'hirh nasal vessels eall bo built alld repairs Wade, With great easing upon the present cast.

With the adoption of the recommenda tions contained therein, particularly those relating, to a reMrni in the franking, privi lege, and the adoption of the correspond ence card , ' a self-sustaining postal system may speedily be looked Mr, and at nn dis tant day a further reduction id the rate a I postage be attained. I recommend authorization by Congress to the Postmaster General and Attorney General, to issue all commissions to otli -4.0s appointed through their respective dtpartinents. At present the commissions, where appointments are presidential, are issued by the State Department. The law in all the Departments of the government, except those of the Post Office and of J us tice, authorizes each to issue its cash 00111- Always favoring practical reforms, I re spectfully call your attention to one abuse Of long standing, which I would like to see remedied by this Congress. It is a reform in thecivil service of the country. I would have it go beyond the mere tieing of the tenure of ()Moo of clerks and employees, who do not require the advice and consent of Cho Senate to make their appointments complete. I would have it govern not the tenure, but the manner of making :ill ap pointments. There in no duty which so much einlxtr rasses the Executive and heads of 14,part moms nor is there any such arduous and thankless labor imposed on Senators and Representatives, as that of finding passes for constituents. The present system clues not secure the best men, and often nut oven tit 111011 for public places. The elevation and, purification of the civil service of the government, will be hailed with approval by the whittle I,eoll[o of the United States. Reform in the management of Indian ;drafts, has received the special attention tithe Adininistration from its inauguration to the present day. The experiment of making it a missionary work was tried, with a few agencies given to the denoinina tion Frienuls,and has been found to work most advantageously. All agencies soul superintendents not so disposed of were given to tullieers nt the army. The act of Congress reducing the army, renders army Unicorn ineligible for civil offices. I deemed it my duty to give all the agencies to such religious denominations as had heretofore established missionaries a .. nion the Indians, and, perhaps, to some other ' - 'clenotninations who wouldiundertake the work on the same terms, i. e., as a missionary work. The societies selected are allowed to name their own agents sub ject to the approval of the Executive, and are expected to watch over them, aid them as missionaries to christianize and civilize the Indians, and to train them in the arts of peace. The government watches over the official acts of these agents, and re quires of them as strict an accountability as if they were appointed in any other manner. I entertain the confident hope that the policy now pursued will in a few years bring all the Indians upon reservations, where they will live in houses, have school houses and churches, and will be pursuing peaceful and self-sustaining avocations, and where they may be visited by the law abiding white man, with the same impuni ty that he now visits the civilized white settlements. I call your special attention to the report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs for full information on this subject. During the last fiscal year 8,005,413 acres of public lands were disposed of. Of this amount, only 3,608,910,05 acres were taken under the homestead law, and 2,159,515,91 acres were sold for cash. The remainder was located with military warrants, col leges, or Indian scrip, or applied in satis faction of grants to railroads, or for other purposes. The entries under the homestead law during the last year, covered 9t31,545 acres more than those during the preceding year. Surveys have been rigorously prosecuted to the full extent of the means applicable to the purpose. The scarcity of land In the market will amply supply the present demand. The claim of the seller under the homestead or the pre-emption laws, is not, however. lim ited to lands subject to sale at private entry. Any unappropriated surveyed public laud may, to a certain extent, be acquired under the former laws, if the party entitled to en ter under them will comply with the re quirements they prescribe in regard to res- idence and cultivation. The actual settler's preference right of purchase is even broad er, and extends to lands which were non surveyed at the time of his settlement. His right was formerly confined within much narrower limits, and at one period of our history was conferred only by special stat utes. They were enabled from time to time, to legalize what was then regarded as an unauthorized intrusion upon the National domain. The opinion that the public lands should be regarded chiefly as a source of revenue, is no longer maintained. The rapid settlement and successful cultivation of them are now justly considered of more importance to our well-being than is the fund IA hick thesale of them would produce. The remarkable growth and prosperity of our new States and territories attest the wisdom of the legislation which invites the tiller of the soil to secure a permanent home, on terms within the reach of all. The pio neer who incurs the dangers and privations of a frontier life, and thus aids in laying the foundation of new Commonwealths, renders a signal service to his country, and is entitled to its special favor and protec tion. - . These laws secure that object, and largely promote the general welfare. They should, therefore, be cherished as a permanent fea ture of our land system. Good faith re quires us to give full effect to existing grants. The time-honored and beneficent policy of putting apart certain sections of public land for educational purposes in the new States, should he continued. When ample provisions shall have been made for these objects, I submitas a question worthy of serious consideration, whether the resi due of our national domain should not be wholly disposed of under the provisions of the homestead and pre-emption laws. In addition to the swamp and overflowed lands granted to the States in which they lie, the lands taken under the Agricultural College acts, and tor internal improvement purposes, under the actor September, IS-11, and the acts supplemental thereto, there had been eons - eyed, up to the close of the last fiscal year, by patent, or other equiva lent, evidence to title to States and corpo rations, '.17,ti.:36;257.133 acres for railways, canals and wagon reads. It is estimated that an additional quanti ty of 11'1,735,5:13 acres is still due under grants Mr like uses. The policy of thus aiding the States in building works of internal improvement, was iiiangurated more than 41) years since in the gran:, to Indiana and Illinois, to aid those States in opening canals to connect the waters of the Wabash with those of Lake Erie, and the seaters of the Illinois with those of Lake Nlichigan. It was followed with some modifications in the grant he Illinois of alternate sections of pub lie lands in with certain limits of the Illi nois Central Railway. Fourteen States, and sundry corporations have receiv ed similar subsidies in connection with railways completed or in process of con struction. As the reserved sections are rated at the double minimum, the sale of them at the enhanced price, hks thus, in many instances, indemnified the Treasury kir the granted bonds. 'l•he construction of some of these thoroughfares has, un doubtedly, given a vigorous impulse to the development of our resources and the set tlement of the more distant portions of the country• It may, however, be well insist • ed that much of Jour legislation, in this re gard, has been characterized by indiscrimi nate and profuse liberality. The United States should not loan their credit in aid of any enterprise undertaken by States or corporations, nor grant lands in any instance unless the projected work is of acknowledged national illiffortance. ant strongly inclined to the opinion that it is inexpeilient and unnecessary - to bestow subsidies 4 , 1' either description ; but should Congress determine otherwise, I earnestly recommend that the rights of settlers and of the public be more effectually secured and protected ley appropriate legislation.

WAsfitsuToN, Nov. 74, 1470.—Th0 Corn_ Missioner of Agriculture, in his annual re port, expresses the gratification he feels in representing that agriculture is in a pros perous condition and productive in u high degree. Ile says it is the foundation inter est of the country, the source of supply of the physical wants or all classes and the nursery of energy ;mil virtue. Agriculture is further equally essential for the recuper ation of the loss healthy pursuits of life front their waste and enervation. The Commissioner also says it is gratifying to believe, from indubitable evidence, that the examples of rational and recupera tive culture are relatively increasing, how ever slowly and gradually they may be making in roatll u pOn:i he destructive and irrational modes so generally prevalent.— These examples are most numerous in the middle State-, and may be seen with min punitive frequency in the older sections of the NV,t. They :ere found occasionally in New England, a n d are beginning to be toted in the southern Strut's, but there is no State in which eXIMUSLitqI and Irrational culture is not predominant. The industrial colleges under the heed grant of Congress of 15.72. have progressed during the past year, and the land scrip has been issued in most of the Southern States and a portion of it sold; but the Commissioner hail heard of no action toward the organization of col leges, and fears the scrip has in some in stances been frittered twat by sales at nom inal prices, as hits been the case in many of the Northern and Eastern States. The UM!, missioner speaks of steam ploughing, silk culture, couchoua trees, the statistical divi sion, cattle disease, the library department-, grounds, tic. , making suggestions designed to be valuable in the,fut ore.

The most abundant and convincing evidence of the great economic value of this distribution can be o ['wined from the archives of the department, or gained from the sub-report in the recent annual volumes.

Loral 3ntrUigence. Court or Common Pleas A Court of Common Pleas commenced last Monday, and has continued through out the week. The cases were generally . of but little importance except to the par ties involved in them, and there was but a ' small number of others in attendance. The first case attached was that of Cyrus Joh vs. Isaac Stoner and Abraham Stoner. Claim for damages. The facts are substan tially these: Some time during IStitl, Levi Joh, the minor son of plaintiff, while in the employ of defendants, entered a well which was being excavated upon their premises, and while there the sides caved in, burying him beneath, whereby he lost his life. Plaintiff alleges that his SOLI was compelled by defendants to enter the well, and that the proper pre cautionary measures had not been taken to ensure the safety of the employees. On part of defense it is alleged that deceased entered the well voluntarily, preferring to work there instead of in a claim which was being dug at the same time, and which was partially,tilled with sluggish water and mud. A number of witnesses were exam ined on both sides, and a considerable amount of conflicting testimony was elici ted. The jury rendered a verdict for de fendant. In the ease of the Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens of Lancaster vs. C. H.

TRIAL or SPHI.:I/.—The (Am( Lall,:l.lier County mare, Lizzie Keller, owned by lesnrs. Flory• R Keller, was timed on the Laneaster Park Track on Saturday :tiler noon, a large number of spectators b'ing present. 'run, first trial was a hall'-toile heat, svhleh wits 11111.110 In a str and trial, notwithstanding a bad break by which she lost fully two-seconds, the half milt was made in 1:15, and as the driver was about pulling her up, one of the own ers called out to him to go on, and make the mile, which was completed friends believe situ can beat the time made On our track by Goldsmith Maid, (2210,) :mil are going to time her again ,v Ph in a week. Inie notice of the event will Is' given. We understand she is to be sold in this city. at public sale, on TlleSally, the 27th inst. We find the following account of the remarkable cause of the lameness of Bel lc, the mother of Lizzie Keller, in the last sue of the Turf, Fivid and Fuem: Some time ago, as we learn from a gentle man well known on the turf, :Sir. Chas. L. Sharpless, of Philadelphia, Pa., bought the buy trotting mare Belle, who trotted in 2:33 to harness, for about a sixth of what her owner first asked for her, from the :Mims:- Mg cause: When she trotted a mile trial or in a race she would suddenly go dead lance. All the care and examinations of experienced skill ful men in trying to Lind the cause or ha:ali ty of the trouble entirely failed of success. lier owner sold her as worthless for trot ting purposes, only lit for breeding, as she had produced Lizzie Keller, who had trot ted in 2:31i in public. The latter was tine special reason Mr. S. bought her, wishing then a brood mare of established iirst•class laudation as a breeder. Mr. S. stinted her this year to his stallion Magnolia, by American Star, dam by Bay Richmond, Ac. She proved to be with Mal. As her body became large from this cause a lump the size of a man's fist Paine on the outside of her body just in front of the near hip joint. Ilelle soon became very thin. A veterinary was called to see her who lanced this lump, when it discharged freely - of ,•or ruption. Ile then probed it applying his ear closely to the spot while doing so. lie heard the probe strike something that pro duced a musical sound like the string of a guitarwhen touched by the linger of a player Ile withdrew the probe, inserted a pair of pinchers and with them grasped this sub stance and withdrew it. It required con siderable effort to do so, and the Ware seem ed to be in much pain and trouble while it was being done. It proved to be a small piece of wire about four inches long when straightened, about the thickness of a small knitting needle. It was spiral in shape when first extracted. Since the wire has been extracted Belle has fattened rapidly and enjoys tine health, as she always has. Belle's trainer, Mr. Doble, 01 Philadelphia, was positive she could trot considerably below :4;;Y) if site could be cured of her peculiar lame ness. After her foal is weaned, the follow ing year, Mr. Sharpless expects to have Belle trained again. In appearance Belle is a wide, low lengthy bay mare, and favors Joe Elliott's data very much, also Flora Temple and Madam Temple, I Flora's dam,' though taller than either of the latter. It is supposed, as Belle is a very hearty feeder, that while eating her hay, which was baled with wire, she must have swallowed this piece of wire, which gradu ally passed through her till it got wnere it came not as above. When trotting the excessive exertion made it pain her and to such an extent that she became lame. Also that as the foal enlarged it forced it through her between the last rib anti hip joint till it suppurated and was extracted us above. THROWN ()VER A Bartark.—On Wednes day as Mr. Joseph Hoar, of the Bap, was driving from Gordonville to Paradise, in crossing Pequea creek on a bridge at Brua's mill, on the line between Learrock and Par adise townships, his horse became fright ened and leaped over the bridge into the water, the horse falling on his back and the buggy upside down. By the assistance of persons near at the time, Mr. Hoar was res cued from his perilous situation without any serious injury and without damage to his carriage, except broken shafts, and the horse bleeding at the nose. There have been numerous complaints of the great danger travellers are subject to in crossing tins temporary bridge. A county bridge had been granted over two years ago at this place, but up to the present no move has been made by the County Commissioners to have it erected.
