ditures have been made in getting ready for
i this expedition; but the supplies of provisions,
munitions of war, horses, and animals will not
, be lost to the Government, and a tremendous
draft. upon the Treasury will be stopped. The
early termination of this expedition will make
a material difference in all Mr. Secretary Cobbs
estimates for the demands upon the Treasury
for a year to come. It will make also a very
material difference in the calculations by in.

also that the President will not avail himself
of the power given to him to call into service

by a law of the present Congress; and here
will be a saving at once of 54,500,000. These

the Treasury came moat opportunely, and IF ill
make, in the aggregate, a difference in the
year's expenditure of at least fifteen millions
of dollars.—Sf. Louis Republican.

was made for his burial, when lo I symptoms
of returning life appeared, and his attendants
for his interment ceased their arrangements.
After having lain in a trance for over an hour
without any perceptible motion of the heart,

on the ground, and succeeded in arresting the
flames before they had gained much headway.

Tremendous Hail Storm.
We gave notice on Monday of the hail storm
that visited Fleming on Saturday the 12th.
The Hon. John L Brinkerhoff of Owasco, in.
forms us that the storm passed over that town
with great fury and doing great damage. In
Owaseo village the two churches were badly
damaged; in one over two hundred lights were
knocked out, and the building was very seri•
ously injured. Several small barns were taken
from their foundations; two or three dwellings
were unroofed, and orchards in many places
were uprooted. Fences were leveled, and in
one instance a heavf rail was taken up in the
strong arms of the storm and carried twenty
rods fr h in its former position. The storm on
Saturday was the heaviest that has visited this
county in years. [Auburn Advertiser.

LITTELL'S LIVING AGE

spent ; for it is unquestionably both the best and
cheapest periodical ever offered to the public.
This is not merely our individual opinion, it is
the concurrent testimony of tile Press through.
out the country; it must, therefore, be the true
estimate, The work is issued every Saturday,
eighty pages, double columns, 12 cents each,
or $5 per annum, post paid, to any address. It
is a work that supplies the very marrow and
essence of all the renowned British periodical
literature of the day, consisting of the clubs
rate and stately essays of the Quarterlies, the
masterly criticisms of Blackwood, and the
lighter articles of Dieken's "Household Words"
and scores of 3ther popular Journals; its can
tents being not only of interest to-day, but of
imperishable value. The numbers for the
; year, forming five large octavo volumes, pre.
sent a complete Encyclopredia of Literature,
reflecting the spirit and genius of the age in
which we live. To sac that such a work is in-
dispensable to every library, is not enough ; it
is an essential to every intelligent finnily cir
cle, to professional men, .d to all who are ed-'
nesting themselves. Hoping that what we
have said will awaken a fresh and deeper pram.
field interest in this long-established and excel.
lent work, we shall content ourselves with sim•

resentative men of the country have bortrr the
strongest testimony to its superiority; among
