. air The President transmitted to the
Senate the correspondence between the
-United-States-and-Oreat-Britain-Atitive
to the Treaty of Washington,, accompani
ed with a brief message. It appears the
design.of the President was to ascertain:
the views of the senate as to a new article
to the treaty, withdrawing the claims for
consequential damages from.the American
statement of the case with. a provision in
substance that whenever England or 'the
United States shall be at war, and the
other neutral, no complaint shali be made
for any indirect, remote or consequential
injuries or basso% resulting from a'failure
to observe neutral duties. As it is known
that Great, Britain will agree to the pro-
I posed innv article, and that both Govern
ment,:i are anxious to save the. treaty by
thii means, it was thought proper to place
'the Senate in possession of all.the facts
in the case, in order that the Executive
acting upon their adviee, might pursue
the negotiation so as to secure the consum
mation of the treaty in a manner satisfac
tory to the two Governments. There was
a brief debate after the reading of the
documents, involving the merits of the
question.
- There is scarcely a question that the
Senate will advise the acceptance of the
additional article to the treaty.
SEMI
LARGEST WOMAN IN TUE WORLD.-A
colored woman, probably the largest and
heaviest person of her sex in the world,
died in St. Louis a few days ago at the
age of fifty-one years. She weighed be
tween nine hundred and one thousand
pounds. Her dimensions were five feet
ten-inehes-in—height,menty-eight inches
across the shoulders, and thirty-seven
inches in circumference. When she had
been arrayed in burial vestments A was
found impossible for seven men to lift
: • - on-one—
n e an. s.e was rolled in, while the
priest chanted the service of the dead.—
She was then placed 'in a large wagon
which proceeded slowly to the cemetery.
The Wagon was backed up to the grave,
and eight men and six rollers combined
their exertions to lower her into her nar
row bed.

Year hkci. Shoiild a fire ofnny magni

erless for any effective work to arrest its
progress for • want of •an Engine, Hose,
dPe., It is true we have-two engines, but
they are either worn gut or so much out
.
of repair as to . be regarded as useless
town appendages. To make , the public
interests more secure we want a good
Suction Engine with Hose and Reel' and
at least four large Cisterns, one at the
Presbyterian Church, one at either the
Lutheran or M. E. Church, ark one at
the Reformed Church or at the Brewery
buildings, the one at the Town. Hall only
needing to be repaired. An indebtedness
for End purposes would, we conceive, be
wisely entailed upon 'the . Borough and
cheerfully sanctioned by the property
holders without an exception. Our per

recently elected Council give this matter
early attention. We warn them against
unnecessary delay.
P. S. Not more than fifteen minutes
after the above was handed to the. com
posher an alarm of fire was given and
the engine-house connected with the-Steam

Tun BIRDS.—The feathered tribe of the
air, it is a noticeable fact, are more nu
merous this season than for many years.
Orchard, hedge and byway seem to be
swarming with these innocent songsters of
early Spring and Suminer. The increase
is caused doubtless by wise legislative en
actments for their protection and preser
vation. Occasionally we hear of birds
being shot. This specier of cruelty, to
say the -least of it, partakes more of a
savage than a human, nature. Acts thus
committed in violation of the law for
their protection, if only in sport, is none
the less reprehensible, and the guilty par
ties should' be promptly reported to the
officer, of the law. Children too should
be early taught not to pillage their nests.
They are really the farmer's and fruit
grower's protectors.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.—The Con
vention of the School Directors of our
county for the election of a County Su
perintendent met in Chambersburg on the
6th inst. The candidates placed in nom
ination were C. W. McKeehan, of Cham
bersburg ; Jacob S. Smith, of Antrim ;
Samuel Gelwix, of Strausburg, and John
W. Brown, of Quincy. After the first
ballot the names of Mr. McKeehan and
Brown were withdrawn, and on the third
ballot Mr. Smith was elected. The latter
gent] eman is a teacher of long stauding,and
well and favorably known to many ofour
citizens, having formerly been a resident
of thiq place. The election gives general
satisfaction here.
FIRE. ON THE MomaAnv.—l,ast week
a fire broke out on 'the north aide of the
Noith Mountain, occasioned by the burst
ing of a Coal pit on the lands of Messrs.
Hunter & Springer. Owing to the high
wind prevailing at the time, the fire spread
rapidly, in the direction of the Franklin
Iron Works, which were in great danger
of being burned, but were saved by the
exertions of the workmen, who succeeded
in changing the, course of the fire. A
man by the name of I3arclow, an employ
ee at the furnace, who was engaged in
working at the fire, was so badly burned
as to cause his death a few . days after.
Messrs. Hunter & Springer lost about
4000 cords of wood estimated to be worth
$5000. Valley Spirit.
SymmsEr Bumfmi.—The town of Sum
