AVE return our thanks to Governor
llartranl't for a pamphlet copy of his
message.
The Legislature, after being In
session two days adjourned till to-day.
So far they have done nothing but quar
rel over the position of old bills on the
calendar. The House after much dis
cussion unexpectedly decided to consider
all the old bills which were left unfin
ished nt the adjournment of 1877.
As the Senate has positively refused
to enter upon any legislation unless de
novo, a dead-lock Is almost certain upon
the meeting at the two houses this week.
The quarrel Is not for the good of the
people, but is purely aright by the mem
bm's !r the Interest of certain local bills
in which they are concerned, and Is only
another evidence that a majority are
petty politicians and not statesmen.
The Governor's Message.
The Legislature met on Tuesday at
noon. The Governor sent in his annual
message which is unusually lengthy.
He opens this communication by a full
(statement of the finances of the State,
which he considers in excellent condi
tion considering the depressed state of
affairs.
The new five per cent, loau has met
with fair success and the saving to the
State in interest by the amount already
taken up will exceed $50,000 annually.
The Governor recommends a revision
of the School law approves of the
suggestion of the State Superintendent
to attempt by a cautious system, com
pulsory education. He calls attention
to the fact that under present laws the
bounty to Soldiers' Orphan Schools will
close June 1st 1879 and suggests that the
Legislature provide some means to con
tinue the schools.
The July riots naturally come in for
much attention and a full account is
given. The Governor also takes much
pains to give his ideas regarding the
cause of the riot and the result. He
thinks more pains should be taken to
give children an industrial and scien
tific training, but acknowledges that
it will be a slow and difficult task to se
cure the co operation of the workmen.
Iu referring to the militia the Gov
ernor says ; " It has been the constant
policy of the present administration to
use the military power of the State only
in the last resort. Unfortunately the
weakness of the local civil machinery
has made that necessity, of late years,
frequent Five times within seven
years the militia has been called into
one or another part of the State, and on
all former occasions, its presence alone
has been sufficient to restore order. Dur
ing the late troubles it also, in the end,
succeeded in removing the embargo up
on the traffic of the State and protecting
its citizens in the right to work, but,
during its short campaign, certain de
ficiencies and faults in the system were,
made apparent."
With all thiugsr taken in to considera
tion he thinks that the conduct of the
troops on the whole was commendable.
Regarding the penitentiaries the Gov
ernor says:' Last year the Legislature
passed an appropriation to relieve the
over-crowded condition of the Eastern
Penitentiary. This year It will be nec
essary to do tbe same for the Western
Penitentiary which institution has now
eight hundred and thirty prIsoners,wlth
capacity for only four hundred, or, at
the most, five hundred. Two, three and
four convicts are necessarily confined in
a cell, and, during the hot summer
months, the crowded condition of the
prison will ccrlnlnly engender disease
and. The mntter will require your Im
mediate attention, and It mny be neces
sary to take prompt action upon some
plan for increasing the accommodations
for the convicts of the western district,
and providing for their safety and se
curity. He then touches upon many minor
matter and In closing his message says:
"In conclusion, I beg leave to renew
my recommendations of laBt year, con
cerning forests, exemption laws, poll
taxes and board of health ( to preserve
the first; prevent the waiver of the sec
ond ; to equalize the third and establish
the last.
The message Is very complete and will
no doubt bo Well received by all parties.

A Dreadful Explosion.

box car was being loaded with nitro
glycerine at the Jackson mine, near

" Ran Francisco Letter."
Not Easily Surprised.
When Aimee was traveling from
Chicago, on her trip East last fall, she
had a singular adventure. Her Pull
man was next to the express car, In
which was confined a tame bear belong
ing to some street musician on board.
This animal became loose, and clamber
ing over into the diva's sleeper, crawled
sociably into the warm berth occupied
by her. The fascinating little dramatlo
cocktail presently awakened, and iu the
dark felt the shaggy coat of the in
truder" I em noting surprise at de
angfroid of ze western mans," she re
marked, calmly, " but you might, at
leas', tlk off your ulstair." Milwaukee
Sentinel. '
O" A woman in a trance was recently
buried alive in Naples. From the evi
dence brought before the appeal court 'it
appears that she was interred with all
the usual formalities. Some days after
ward the grave In which she had been
placed being opened for the reception of
another body, it was found that the
clothes of tbe unfortunate woman were
torn to pieces, and that she had even
broken her limbs in trying to extricate
herself from the tomb. The court sen
tenced the doctor, who had signed the
certificate of disease, and the mayor, who
had authorized the interment, each to
three months imprisonment for invol
untary manslaughter.
Tho Missing Niasley Seen.
A letter to a party at Ha rrlsburg states
that the missing clerk John H. Nlssley
has been seen In Iroquois, Illinois, and
that his present whereabouts can be
given if necessary as he owns a farm in
that neighborhood.
Serious Outlook In San Francisco.
San Francisco, Jan. 8. A large
body of unemployed workingmen to
day murqhed to the Mayor's office and
demanded work or bread, suggesting
that they should be set at work on the
streets or other publlo improvements.
The Mayor stated his Inability to take
such action and counselled application,
when necessary, to various benevolent
organizations. The speech was received
In sullen silence. A crowd, to the
number of several thousand,then march
ed to the new city hall lot, where they
were addressed by the agitators, Kearney,
Wellock and others, to the effect that
they must help themselves by force, If
other means fulled.
HJPOn thcS7th ult, Special Deputy
Marshal William Durham and three
fcubordlnates arrested a tobacco pedler,
named Hill, from North Carolina, and
his wagon driver, for having In their
possession eight boxes of tobacco Im
properly stamped, besides several loose
revenue stamps concealed. A local rifle
company, over one hundred strong, sur
rounded the revenue Bquad and com
pelled the officers to remove the hand
cuffs from the prisoners and to release
them.
f35" A white fifteen-year-old girl mar
ried a negro In Fairfax, Va. No clergy
man or magistrate could be found who
would perform the ceremony, and so the
couple simply swore on the lilblo in the
presence of witnesses, that they would
be faithful as husband and wife. The
girl's father, on hearing of the marriage,
killed the negro.
A Mother's Love.
On tbe Market tqnaie a gill gave her
babe to Mrs. Cody of Pilkington. Then
she coutiuued to follow Mrs. Cody through
tho streets, the yearnings of her mother's
heart going out toward tbe little one, and
the struggle between necessity aud a
mo! her's love was agonizing. At last site
seemed to bo resigned, and apparently
parted finally wlih her child. Next day,
however, she went to Mis. Cody's home,
and, taking a fnvorublo opportunity, seized
tho child and lied.
Served Them Right,
l'liilip Marlz, of Monroevillo, Allek

Davis, aged 10 years, while at her home in
the village of Ferndale. Haddook then

what was tbe real motive, but jealousy is
believed to have boeu tbe primary cause.
The Boscawen, N. B. Congrega
tional Bociety held a festival a few days
ago, which was brought about in a very
singular way. A twatm of bees hod taken
possession of a crevice in a corner of tbe
building, and when discovered tbey bad
deposited 69 pounds of honey. Tbe socie
ty confiscated it, aud gave a big honey
supper, which drew in a large attendance
and a goodly profit.
tSBurt Loudermilk, of Blue Iiidge,
N. C, says that laBt Friday week he went
to the woods and began chopping wood,
when he was startled by a gust of air
striking him, which ho says felt like it
was driven from a fire. Tho ground was
wbito with frost, which disappeared as in
tbe twinkling of an eyo. Other persons,
in different parts of the county, who were
out of doors, observed it.
t& Forty guests partook of a Christmas
dinner given at Cherry Run, near Rouse-
ville. On the evening of the day three
fourths of the party were overcome by a
chiliiuess, accompanied with stiffness, of
the joints, severe cramping iu stomach and
bowels, followed in many cases by very
severe vomiting and purging, leaving
them in an exhausted condition. No fatal
results have as yet followed, and the cause
of tbe troubles is a mystery.
W Half a house was cut off in Napa,
Cab, and moved away. Tbe family that
continued to reside in tbe remainder tempo
rarily stretched muslin across the open
space. That evening a crowd gathered to
see the shadow pantomime that the inmates
unconsciously made for publio amusement.
The snpper table was oloss to the curtain,
so that the movements of the eaters were
seen in grotesque silhouette on tbe cloth
Then the husband kissed his wife, and that
sight mads the spectators laugh so loud
that the show was Instantly brokon up.
tJTThe newest thing In woddings took
place st Aurello, a town on the Iowa

fow days ago. The conductor of a freight
train, W. II. Reynolds, stopped his train,
jumped off, went Into the depot, was
married to Miss Jennie Denlo, who was
in waiting with her friends, placed his
bride In the caboose and started his train
again. The arrangements wete so com
plete, the knot so swiftly tied snd the bride
and groom so self-contained, that none cf
the train men had any suspicion of what
had occurred.

important item of the work of the con

school cause in behalf of the great and
good work in which we are engaged;

and prayer for the blessing of God on
our labor, we will endeavor to gather
the children into the fold of Jesus
Christ, who said, "Suffer the little chil

not; for of such is the kingdom of
God."

entertaining, and are pervaded with a healthy
Interest, which absorbs the young reader and
Inculcates the moral, without filling tbe mind
with sickly tentimentallsm. The etorlet in
verse are also delightful to tbe children, who
never tire of the "Jingling rhyme." Tbe pic
