Forget not, Lord, Thy promises To those who trust in Thee, Close not Thy ears unto their cries, - Nor from their presence flee. 'For,Thou art mighty in Thy strength, And we are weak and frail; ' To combat evil without Thee What would our powers avail? '0 Lord ! how long must we endure— How long the scourge abide, Before Thy arms shall fold us round, Thy love our sorrows hide ? We plead the promises of old, • Weary and faint we cry, Withhold not, Lord, Thy sheltering grace When unto Thee we fly! And lo S the still, small voice is heard— " Abide in hope and trust, Thy Saviour bore for thee this scourge, And what art thou but dust? 'wile thorns that pierce shall weave a crown, Which one day thou shalt wear, When hidden from this fiery scourge His presence thou shalt share. "But hope not, while on earth you walk, God's chastening rod to flee; Jtather,lift up thy heart in praise That thus He ohasteneth thee: "Not with fierce trials born of chance, Nor sorrows steeped in sin, Mast thou to walk thy pilgrimagq, His courts to enter in. - "He gives to thee thy every wish, Reserving only one, `To draw thee always near to Him, And to His Saviour Son." The still, small voice was heard no more ; But round me and above God's holy angels seemed to float, And all was peace and love.

CARD The Executive Committee of the National -Orphans' Homestead Association take the opportunity of a special meeting, convened November 23d, 1866, to express their grate ful sense of the kind and efficient co-opera lion of the Associate Board of Ladies and 'Gentlemen of Gettysburg, in completing the Homestead, in arranging for the inaugura tion ceremonies of the 20th, and in provid ing> for the entertainment of the guests among the hospitable families of the town. Our relations t 6 the Associate Board have been so eminently pleasant and - satisfactory, that we look with sincere pleasure tO their continuance in the future. Extract from Committee's minutes. J. FRANCIS BOURNS, General Seo'y. Philadelphia, Nov. 24th, 1866. ,REA2rPEAnhatoz.—Col. John S. Garvin has restated the publication of the Tuscaloosa Monitar,which has been suspended for about lour years. TH. DAILY EVENING BULLETIN Important Alcoholic Decision. The annexed correspondence of Collector Slnanaker and Deputy Commissioner Har land explains. itself: COLLECTOR'S OFFICE, UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE, FIRST DISTRICT, PA., 247 South Third street, PHILADELPHIA, November 19th, 1866.—50n,.R. •A. Rollins, Commissioner of Internal Rev enue, Washington, D. C:—Six, : Many of the first-class wholesale druggists of. this city, who are large purchasers and con sumers of the of alcohol, have Applied to this office to know what mark or stencil, lien*, of the United States, should be placed upon the barrels containing this article as security for them in its purchase. On ex amination I find in the latter part of para graph 142,0 f the new compiled law, the follow ing: "And,all spirits. after being removed from the - original package in which they were inspected and gauged, into another package for the purpose of rectification, re distillation, or change of proof, shall again be inspected, and gauged and properly branded, and the absence of an inspector's brand shall be taken and held as sufficient cause of evidence upon which any spirits so found may be forfeited." While alcohol is not a rectified spirit, strictly so speaking, it is nevertheless a redistilled spirit, and under the strict interpretation of the above quoted law, I am clearly of the opinion that it should be marked by a United States general inspector, as a medium of protection to those who go into the open market at first pur chase, for without this the Government and the public would necessarily be put to much inconvenience independent of the fact that its unmarking is subject- to much fraud. Therefore, will you please decide the follow ing question of law at your earliest conve nience: Does alcohol, being a distilled spirit, but not a rectified article, require a general in spector of spirit's brand and gauge thereon to prevent it from being subject to forfeiture when open to sale in the usual course of market? Trusting to hear from you at an early day on the subject, I remain yours, truly, " A. B. SLoANAKEM, Collector. REPLY. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF IN TERNAL REVENUE, WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 1866.—A. B. Slocazaker, Esq., Collector of the First District, .Pa.—SIB: In reply to your letter of the 19th instant, I would state that when the character of spirits is changed, by being made into alcohol, the law requires that it should be inspected and the packages containing it, after its character has been thus changed, properly branded by a. united States general inspector of spirits. But there may be circumstances when a pack age of alcohol need not have upon it the inspector's mark, as when it has been removed from a package which has been inspected for the purpose merely of being placed in another package or vessel for use or for immediate sale to customers, without the additional change in character. The absence of the Inspector's mark on packages containing alcohol, will be e_vjoi- • ce sufficientto justify a seizure by the collet.. unless he is satisfied the requirem'ents of the law have been complied with. In order to save such packages from forfeiture, the party in whose possession they are must be able.to show that the tat has been paid. Very respectfully, THOMAS HARLAND, Deputy Commissioner. Facts and Fancies. There are people , who would. "botanize on their grandmother's grave," and in the midst of the scene last night, while Brignoli and Ferranti were floundering helplessly through the "Quando anpus," and Parepa was tugging them along, with her, "Para. disi Paradisi,"— an infuriate punster growled out, "They 're a pair o'dizzy blockheads!" The cholera is racing in the oil regions of West Virginia. A number of the oil-com panies are in a state of collapse. Irish merchants of New York have offered any number of ships to the Fenians. Tnis anxiety of the New Yorkers to get rid of some of their superfluous Finnegans is highly praiseworthy. Mr. Ehrlicher has invented a sance . Ett his -new and elegant establishment in the Bul letin Building, which puts Prof. Blot to the blush. He 'eats his goose with gas. Several gentlemen in New York have made arrangements to give a concert in aid of the newsboys and their lodging house in that city. We have a newsboys' concert in our back basement every day, admission free. They are at work in North Carolina un earthing the remains of a monster,probably of the saurian species, which surpasses in size any relic of the primitive era swhich has yet been discovered. They began - disen gaging the monster from the bank in which it is imbedded several weeks ago, and have already unearthed eighty-five feet without coming to either extremity ! Phew ! Eighty five feet and no extremities? How many do they expect? At Danville, Va., the 15th inst.,three silver mugs were awarded as prizes for the three best samples of this year's tobacco crop. We could name a good people who are deep in tobacco, that are badly in want of new mugs. A Washington correspondent says that Mr. Morrissey visited the Capitol a few days since, and on noticing the speaker's desk inquired whether that was "where the re feree sat? " , The Buckeye Club has addressed to the 1 owners of running orses a circular to the effect that the gre t race for the Burnet House stake of $l,OO will take place on the second day of the Spring meeting in 1867. This steak will be contested by several filets, SENATOR WRIGHT'S WILL.—The will of the late Senator William Wright of this city, was admitted to probate last week in the Surrogate's office of this county. The entire valuation of the estate was sworn at one million dollars, of which $600,000 are in real estate and $400,000 in personal property. All of this is devised to the family except $l,OOO, which is given to the House of Prayer. The homestead, outbuildings and adjoining property on Park Place,running through to River street, is given to the widow for her use during her lifetime, and after her death goes to her children. The sum of $15,000 is given to his grandson, and $lO,OOO to his grand-daughter, children of Mrs. (lavers, his daughter in Russia, and a like sum respectively to the son and daughter of his only son, Colonel E. H. Wright. The rest of the property is to be equally divided between the widow, son and daughters—the latter's portion being secared to her for her sole use. Provision is made in case of the death of any one of the lega tees for dividing their share among the sur vivors of the legal representatives. The will is dated Feb. 17, 1866. United States revenue stamps to the value of five hundred dollars were attached to the will, when it was admitted to probate.:—Newark Adver tiaer. THE RuTLArqu QuAnams.—The Rutland (Vermont) Marble Company have now in constant employ at the quarries about two hundred and sixty-five men, four steam cutting machines, two -steam dericks and three other mechanical appliances for the production of their marbles. These are of all grades, from blue to statuary. Tile latter is in extensive demand among our sculp tors. Meade's "Ethan Allen," now in the State House at Montpelier, is a fine speci men of Rutland marble. IN A campaign in Louisiana a party of Confederates, marching through a swamp, were ordered to form two deep. A corporal immediately exclaimed . , "I'm too deep al ready; I'm up to the middle." Horrattmr. AocrmErrr.—The tTtica (N.Y.) papers give the particulars of a runadvay accident that`occurred at Holland Patent, 11 miles north of Utica, last Saturd iv after noon. Mrs. Ward, wife of Nathaniel Wird, Jr., a most estimable woman, and the cen tre of an affectionate family circle t started with her little boy to attend the meeting of the Baptist Church at the Patent, whereshe . was to meet her husband and daughter. After going a little way the horse became restive, when the little boy became fright ened and returned home. Soon afterward the vicious beast became unmanageable and started to run. Mrs. Ward, in attempting to jump, caught ' her hoop-skirt on the springs, and was thus dragged a mile and a balf over a rough. and stony road. She fi nally became disentangled, and was found moat horribly torn and lacerated, and life nearly extinct. Her clothing was scattered along the road, and even her shoes and stockings were torn from her feet. One arm and one limb broken, her head nearly scalped, and the flesh in several places torn to the bones, tell how great must have been the sufferings of the unfortunate victim. 'Death soon relieved her of her sufferings. BURNED TO DEATH.—On Thursday night last, at Warren, Pa., a fire broke out in a temporary cabin on a fiat boat that had come down the river from Allegheny, Cata raugus county, New York, loaded with pro visions, and which was tied up in the War ren Eddy for the night. As soon as the fire was discovered, a large number rushed down there only to find that a boy of twelve years Phillip Hicks, a son of Jefferson Hick; who owns the St. Charles Hotel at Oil City, was burned to death, and Joel Truesdell, the mon who owns the boat, se verely burned about the face, head and other parts of his person. There was a quan tity of straw in the cabin at the time the conflagration took place, and it therefore supposed that the boy was so suffocated by the smoke as to be rendered unconscious of his danger. The fire was quickly put oat, but not before the arms and face of the un fortunate boy were badly charred. Mr. Truesdell was terribly burned, bat there are hopes that he will recover. MARRIED.
