of impeachment, on Monday. The doeu•
moot is said to be remarkable for what it
eetlio, its length, and the misrepresentations
it contains. Ms counsel followed it n.
a demand - for thirty days addittartitrin
which to prepare themselves for the trial.
After listening to elaborate arguments from
both sides, the Senate refused the request by
a vote of twelve in its favor to forty one
against. The falansgers of the Impeaeh•
meet on the park of, the loose of Repre
reltatives gave notice that they would. sub

BEST KINDS OE POTATOES TO PLANT.--•
A correspondent of the German town Tele.
graph says : We 'are now reaping the ben•
efits of the perseverance of the late Rev.
Mr. Goodrich of Utica N. Y., who toiled
nearly the half of.an ordinary life time to
produce new and better kinds from seed balls
obtained from tubers imported from Mexico,
South America, &o. Out of over 16,000
seedlings Mr. G. was only able to obtain a
few rery oboice sorts, and among them the
"Early Goodrich," which as an early Pota.
to and for yield and quality is unsurpassed,
and what is better, it seems to improve io
both quality and quantity. The "Hatrison"
is also one of the Goodrich seedlings.
A friend of mine says, "I procured
.four
pounds of these potatoes by mail , in 1866,
and planted by cutting so as to put three
eyes to a hill-60 hills—from which I pick.
ed 450" pounds or n bushels."
To cut tho seed. Begia et the stem or
butt end, holding the point end front you
slicing towards you, cutting a eloping slice
off with only one eye.

Challenges soy one in the State to disown the

"31y color alone should be no objection to

was slightly bitten on the leg by the animal.
Ile bad beard that within nine days after
being bitten by a rabid dog, hydrophobia
would show itself, and believing that the
canine by which he had been bitten was
mad, his imagination at once suggested this
disease as a result, and he awaited with fear

The time arrived, and a neighbor visiting
him about noon, found- him kinking about,
foaming at the mouth, and going through
the other antics that madmen usually per
form. As soon as Roberts maw his visitor,
he made for him, barking like a dog, while
the ether, frightened out of his wits, rushed
out of the house, followed by the seeming
madman. Over the fields and the fences
they went. the visitor straining every nerve,
quickening his steps with the energy that
his fear imparted to him; and Roberts jump

Physicians having been summoned, they at

had themselves, and as free from hydropho

a tool of himself, and, fearing - the ridicule of

A Distressing Case of Suicide
A ease of suicide causing great excite
ment occurred Monday afternoon at the male
grammer and primary school No 15, Repub
lican street, near Saratoga. From the facts
learned it appears that a lad named Arthur
Cambell, aged 14 years', son of Mr. Charles
Cambell, who is in the employment of
Thomas 'Winans, Esq., was a. pupil of the
school. For some reason be had fallen un
der the displeasure of hie teachers, resulting
as is alleged, in his dismissal. He was a•
gain received into the school, and by way of
punishment for his transgression, he was, it
is stated, not allowed to play with his school
mates He told one of the female teachers
of his feelings io the matter, threatening, as
is alleged, to kill himself if denied the
privilege of playing with his schoolmates.
No notice was taken of his remarks, and on
Monday afternoon, as one of the little chi!.
dren of the school was going into the yard,
he found the body of young Cambell sus
pended by the neck in a shed of the yard
attached to the school. The boy ran into
the school.room and informed One of the
lady teachers, who at first thought nothing
of it. She afterwards, however, informed
the principle, Mr. J. S. Arthur, who went
into the abed where he found thO boy hang
ing by his neck, with his knees resting on
the ground. lie was immediately cut down,
but life was extinct- The startling flows
spread like wildfire among the scholars
numbering some two or three hundred, and
occasioned great excitement. The schools
were dismissed, end Sergeant Bandy, of the
western district police, with a force of men,
was promptly at the scene, and succeeded in
allaying the excitement.—Baltimore Sun.

Great Snow Storm.
, Philadelphia, March, 21.--This is the
most wintry morning experienced for many
years in this city. The snow has been fall

deep, and drifted in places - to the depth of
four feet. The streets are almost impassable
for oars, and most of the lines have given up
all efforts to run.
The storm continues without th - F3 CO - WI

Philadelphia, .March 21.—The snow storm
has moderated,after raging for twenty hours.
The snow is drifted badly; in — iome places
as high as fifteen feet. The railroads are
badly blocked up, and no train's have arrived

LOST IN A SNOW STORM.—The New
foundlander says : 'A EItIOW storm like that
of Monday, the 3d of February, has often
been followed by melancholy consequences to
travelers in this country ; but this last
ono has produced a calamity the most dis
tressing of its nature that we can remember.
It appears that some thirty persons are known
to have been traveling that evening between
Heart's Content and Harbor Grace, and that
up to yesterday thirteen dead bodies had
been discovered, while there is every reason
to believe that the remaining seventeen, yet
unaccounted for, have met a similar sacifate.
Searching parties have been on the track
since Tuesday, and no doubt their search
will bo continued till the further extent of
this dreadful visitation has been ascertain
ed.

little past midnight, while snow was falling
fast, three bright flashes were seen at a few
minutes' interval, followed by heavy concus

it-g there was found in the snow a dark sub,

t•o be a fine, reddish sand. Those who melted
snow for washing or culinary purposes, found
this sand in such quantities as made the wa=
