IDOPJ tJ capltalattr, thic'Baron had replied by hanging the envoy over the northern battlements, in fnll sight of the'besiegers. Having taken a hearty breakfast, the Bar--on proceeded into the castle yard, and ucaiued Black Donnerschlag, his favorite f^'chargcr, to bo saddled and caparisoned.— v'-Thcn taking him by the bridle, he led him up the grand stair-case, out upon the -roof, while the trembling servants and

There was indeed something most unusual in the Baron's look and bearing. He seemed transformed as if by miracle.— His eye was bright with a strange fire, and an exulting smile lit up his countenance, lie seemed twenty years younger than when she had last beheld him.

Counted," he said my enemies bare got me at last. The bishops and

Eands,

ricsts, with their free lances and burgher surround the Castle. My guests am ready'to-betray me, to secure their own safety. My servants arc like a parcel of panic-stricken sheep, and will make no hearty resistance. I have about an hour to live, and that is quite enough. I mean, however, to make the most of it.— Here are a few bottles of wine, such as

Emperor never tasted. I have long kept it hid away from my^own thie\ing butler,

l«.r an occasion like the present, and an. I ,0

novy going to enjoy it in your company, ^)C

The terrified countess glanced round

the apartment for some way of escape, but there was none. The Baron had closed and bolted the door behind him when he entered, nnd the windows were firmly secured. She knew that it was vain to call for help, and she read in the Baron's eye Hashes of that overmastering power which desperate men possess, who have prepared themselves to defy .fate, and meet death himself half way. Yet there was nothing forccd or overstrained in his gayety, and his manner and tones were natural and spontaneous. "Nay, why arc you alarmed resumed Ahrcndt, reading all her fears in her dilated eyes, I shall do you no injury.— They have named me 'the Cruel,' but not the mean. I am going to die myself but have no objection that you should live. I am not one of those envious and selfish fellows who want the world to end when they step out of it. Oil the contrary, I am willing that all of you whom I leave behind, shall have a good time of it for the balance of your lease. I have even concluded ti forego a part of my intended revenge. 1 have had enough of even that. Therefore, I shall not, as I meant yesterday, kill the Count aud marry you. I shall leave you your lover. Meanwhile let me enjoy my hour. Let us be sociable."

So saying, Ahrcndt produced from beneath his cloak three dirty cobwebbed bottles and a couple of glasses. With his hunting-kn fe he knocked off the top of one of the bottles, and seating himself beside the trembling Amelia, filled the glasses. •'-f'steo lie resumed that'you have no faith in -me, and are still atraid. I will, if you desire it, call up the Bishop to make a third. That might be best perhaps to avoid scandal, and prevent the County your husband from being jealous when he learns of this tete-a-tete." So saying the Baron unlocked the door, and summoning a servant, ordered the Bishop to be coil: ducted to the apartment.

Father," said the Baron, when the ecclesiastic made his appearance, I am about to fulfill the fortune-teller's prediction. In less than an hour I shall be—no matter where. Meantime I propose to solace lu}* last moments with a little pleasant conviviality in the best company within my reach. What society can be more dcJHitful than that of a charming young woman and a reverend and learned diguiUry of the church like yourself. Nay, uot a word of remonstrance, nor a secoud of hesitation, A dyiug man has a right to be tyrannical. I feel now quite liko a saint or an angel but if I xun crossed in my humor, the sleeping devil in my soul may awaken—and the consequences both to her and you may be most unfortuuate."

Both felt that there was a fearful force in tills warning, and dissembliug their terror, strove to appear at least to accommodate themselves to the strange mood of their terriblo and incomprehensible companion.

As vro are short of glasses," said Ahrcndt, pushing one toward the Bishop, and hauding the other to the Countess, will drink from the bottle if you will pardon me. I pledge you."

With trembling hands the Baron's guests raised the glasses to their lips, while he took a prolonged draught from the bottle, which he put down quite empty.

I can't understand it, Bishop," he said thoughtfully, as he knocked off the head of another bottle, perhaps you can explain it' can't understand why I have grown all at once so light-hearted and well disposed to my fellow-men. Yesterday I bad quite made up my mind to hang you up in sight of "the forces of your brother Bishop, as soon as they came in sight, because of your pleasant assurance as to my own fate.I had even given directions for that purpose.' Nay do not start—they have been countermanded. I had also resolved to take the life of Count Maximilian wKoml liatcd roore than any living man,

and

to complete tho scheme of my

revenjre by marrying his widow ere he was cold in his grave- All these things have now lost their relish revenge .seems no longer sweet. 'I have no .'ill-will oven to those greasy burghers below thcrCi whose musical voices you way hew yelling for

iny blood. An hour ago, in order to disappoint them, I had resolved to set all the wine in my cellars abroach, so as not to leave a drop for the thirsty dogs when they force the gates. But I have changed my mind and the idea of the nice: time they will have presently with my Ruhdeschimer is, I find, rather pleasant to me than otherwise, or at least," added tb6 Baron, after a moments hesitation, it would be if I thought the rascals colild appreciate it." '^k "My son," said theBishop, earnestly, it may not yet bp too late.. Why wilt thou not be reconciled to the church will answer for it that if. thou wilt profess

perturbed vassals gazed with breathless thyself my penitent, the leader of our foramazoment "upon this^strange and inexpli-

cable proceeding. Having not without difficulty, accomplished this feat, Abrendt expressed his satisfaction by a scries of portcntious chuckles, and delivering the bridle into the hands of a scr%*ant, proceeded to the wine cellar. From the cellar lie proceeded to the apartment of the Countess Amelia, and without the ccrcmouy of,knocking, entered abruptly. The lady started at the aspect of her visitor, and gazed upon him in amazement, not unmingled with terror.

will postpone thy execution long enough, at least, to enable me to adminis-

ter thee sacraments^and give thee absolu-

Do not tiiinlc'me profane,^good father," answered Ahrendt, if', I tell thee that the only sacrament I crave is one kiss from the lips of the lovely Countess, which methinlvs, is slight enough acknowledgment for the husband I have given her. Nevertheless, I will not exact even that. Don ner-wetter!" lie cried, interrupting himself, I don't know what is come over me, I must have mistaken myself all this while for truly I feel as benevolent as a saint."

My son said the Bishop, compassionately, my heart yearns to administer to thee the consolations of religion, to smooth for thee the passage to the world whither thou art going."

Nay, Bishop, I need no consolation. I feel as blythe as a bridegroom. There is nothing I require to smooth the way, save, perchance, one of the kisScs I spoke of. For the rest I ain content enough.— Do I look frightened AVliat do you suppose I want to grow old and die a straw death, and to be a week or a month about it No Bishop, no siclc beJ'Tbr me—no tossing, and 'turning, aiul groaning, and gasping for breath What is life w'ithout love and wine and good" appetite Al-

they have conic to see me quit", and-to give the occasion a little glow of pleasant excitement.. But come your glasses are empty there is'time for another toagtuY So saying the Baron decapitated the last remaining bottle, and replenishing the glasses, emptied it at a draught.

At this moment a confused clamor of cries and shouts, mingled with the clash of arms, was heard from below the sound of feet hurrying up the staircase succeeded. Ahrcndt swung open the door, and demanded of Gurgcluieycr, who had just gained the:landing in front of the apart mcnt, the cause of ihe disturbance.

The enemy are forcing the gate," answered the Butler, panting for breath and a number of .them have, in some way, got into the castle, and are pouring up from the cellars."

I meant to have spared them so much trouble," answered the Baron. "Go down and let the great gate be thrown open at once, and say to the leaders that if they will ascend to the roof they shall behold a sight worth seeing. Go with him Bishop, I pray you, and see that my orders are obeyed. Speak a word also to your brother of Scbrcckcnsweign on behalf of these poor varlcts of mine, who have suffered already enough at my hands without being punished by my enemies. And so farewell, Bishop. As for you, Countess, I have a desire that you should see how Ahrcndt the cruel makes an end, and will beg the favor of your con'ipany to the rot f."

The Countess, pale turd"trembling, knew not how to refuse, or evade the Baron's request, and wondering what, was to succeed, allowed him to assist licr up the great staircase, until they had gained the castle-roof, where the servant still stood, holding the coal-black steed, who by his restless movements an 1 straining eyes, seemed to be conscious of his singular position. "Hark!" said Ahrcndt, as the harsh sound of the great gate turning upon, its rusty hinges'reached their ears, the enemy are admitted." And he sprang into the saddle and turned the head of his horse toward the battlement of the east.e overlooking the river.

The next moment footsteps were heard approaching, and the Bishop of Fetter llindbratcn, followed by the alchymist and several leaders of the hostile forces, issued forth upon

(them,

and an exclamation of

surprise burst simultaneously from the whole party, at the sight of the Baron mounted upon his steed, fully caparisoned as if for a journey.

Baron," said a captain of lanzkncets advancing toward him, yield thyself my prisoner."

Stand back a raome.Mt, I pray thee," replied Ahrcndt, you pcrqoive that I have no choicc but to yield. I would fain however, enjoy one more cup of wine as'a freeman. Have patience good sir uutil my butler brings it me," and he waved his baud tb SchienianiiJ who departed mechanically upon -His errand.

Ahrcndt," said the alchymist, "I have power to save thqe,~ianU will do sq, Dismount therefore, and give over thy wioked purpose." "Nay, brother, though we sucked at the same breast our natures arc different.— You can not understand me or my ideas," •answered the Baron. I must die as I have lived. It is but a single cup. of wine I require to crown my felicity, and that you will not grudge me. Stand back friend," ho added, addressing the officer of the lanzknects, Donnerschlag brooks not the handling of strangers."

Schiemann now reappeared bearing a flagon of wine, which he handed to his master. The latter drank it off at a draught.

Now, then," he cried as he tossed the flagon to the ground, ye shall see what an end one makes who despises a straw death." With these words, lie drove the spurs intb.THe flanks of-His horsq, and rode tiin straight at the battlements. 'In three' bounds, the noble steed had gained the base of the parapet. Turning half way in his saddle, the Baron waved his hand to the pale and awe-stricken group, which stood transfixed like statues, with their gaso riveted upon bono and rider. One

touch of the spur and one prill of thejreiri, and Black Donnerschlag has, taken the fatal leap, desiring the parapet with, a mighty bound. Foi" alEiecond, torse andinan.hung poised ftbd motionless in-mid airj standing out In black lines against the.bluq of the sky. The Bardrn''still sat erect and firm," with head thrown back and his right band grasping the unslacked reins when they sank from view bchind'the parapet.

As soon as the spectators could recover from their stupor, they rushed, to the battlements apd looked down. So strong had been the impulse and so bold the leap, that clearing ihe whole rocky declivity, the horse and rider, still'marvelously retaining an xipright position, alighted in the river, where they disappeared from view.— No cry or sound of terror or agony had as cendgd from horse or manand neither was Cvers6en again

God hare'mercy' on' his sinful soiil!" said the Bishop, as the waves closed over them., ":rr. ..

He jiiay be sinful, priest,""said the alchymist sternly "but he has died.as he lived and perhaps the difference between saint and sinner is less, thaii.wc.uc.em-! Is lie to be condemned who acts in strict consistence with himself It must be thought of. Perhaps by the laws of spirit, selfcontradiction is the only wrong. Meantime being very ignorant, let us also be a little charitable."

BOHBARDJIENT •TVERil CKIZ-DEH-TRUCTIW.V OP I'KOI'EKTV—COVARBIiV OUTRAGES.'

The Vera Crus correspondent of the New Orleans-Picayune, of the 9th,.thus wrote on the 23d ult, of the particulars of the bombardment of-that city:

A heavy bombardment of eight. days could not conquer this city—the garrison, consisting altogether of National Guards, defending it,to th'cir utmost.

Three mortars and twelve tv.-en,ty-fuuim-pounders w'cre!eonstaut]y„ night ami day, directed upon'

:flie

city.. 'The fourtcen-

inch shells'thro wn upon the city have caused great destruction. The. loss of lives has been comparatively small, owing to the opportune emigration of the inhabitants nevertheless', itiany innocent woman and children have fallen. The loss of property considerable, and calculated .folio about five millions of dollars. The destruction of houses alone amounts to over'three millions of dollars.

Kobles—Butchcr liobles—wortlry companion of Marques, has covered his front with gores of blood, to show to the world a. face which every man will spit on.

It appears that 3Iiranion retired from the camp on the 20th ult., disgusted with the mode of warfare, and gave the command to Boblc's, requested him to return with his forces. Bobles, however, being left in sole command, exerted himself nevertheless, aud increased the firing of shells were in the air, and the round-shot uncountable.

The assailants, instead of directing their destructive fire upon the fortifications and

best part of the to wit—residence's and stores of merchants,, churches, hospitals, powder-magazines and vessels at' anchor in port, knowing the latter to be .filled with frightened females and children, who hurried out of town to. take shelter from the missiles of Hob'lcs.

This ex-Ministcr of Mexico to the United States imagined that the frightened inhabitants would prevail upon the defender of the city to surrender, as was the case the time of General Scott—a foreign enemy bombarded the city, he (Kobles) then defending her. ,,

TiV this his Excllcncy, the General Mexican Desbrayes, ivas mistaken. The valor and 'enthusiasm-of a Mexican .population has.never been .better displayed than.on this occasion. ..

Six thousand regular troops, led by a young scamp of twenty-eight years, aud directed by an upstart General who owes his whole existence to Vera Cruz, could not couqucr three thousand volunteers, whose daily labors make them unaccustomed to the use of arms.

I have couuted thirty-nine houses' in ruins. The Diligence Hotel received six shells.

The United States Consulate is demolished flag and flag-staff shot down. Particular aim was also taken to reach

Saratoga and Savannah in port, the shells exploded not fifteen yards from the Savannah. The National Guard suffered but little in their lines, and their loss of lives does not exceed ouohundred.

CONDITION OF AFFAIRS AT THE CAPITAL —ANARCHY REIGNING.—The latest intelligence is to the 9th. The Picayunc remarks of it editorially:

The order, banishing all American citizens from that? portion ofthe Republic over which the' Miramon Government'exercises authority, and Confiscating their property, had actually' been published. This is retaliation for the capture of the Havana eo-oporating expedition. Fortunutely, however, its absurditity would be sufficient guarantee against the attempt, even if it were possible to carry it into execution.

The actual "state of things at the capital is frightful in the extreme. Immediately after the departure of the troops on the expedition to Vera Cruz, the bonds of society seemed to be cut loose, and intrigues for the overturn of the Corona Government were set on foot in every direction,* "As might be expected, however, among" such a population, there was no concert of plans or of action, and thus far every thing had come to naught. Each party and each ambitious leader of his party would listen only to his own plans, and therefore succeeded only in producing confusion worse confounded.. Among the rest, guerrilla parties of discontents had organized themselves within and without the city, and "there is scarcely a night," says one letter, "that some conflict does not.t&ko place."

The postponement was agreed to, and February, 1860, fixed as the time when the Embassy should, leave Japan. It was to proceed to Panama in the Powhattan, and after crossing the' Isthmus, another vessel is to be in readiness to receive it at Aspinwall. Mr. Harris is anxious that it should arrive in tliisi country in May or June, and proceokl up the Potaniae without first landing at any of the large American cities. -The Embassy will consist. in all, of eighteen persons of rank, and fifty-three servants, as follows

But it is probable the Embassy about to favor ^his country with a visit'w*ll proceed from the Unirt?tt-States to England, Holland, Russia and Fraift«, and finally return to Japan via Egypt and China,

It seems to be not only expected that, our Government shall provide for the conveyance of the Embassy to.our shores, but that proper accommodations should be secured for them at the capital. Mr. Harris iu a letter of Sept. 6, 1858, says "I have constantly told the Japanese

atthe expense of their own Government, and were not nntertained at the cost of the Government to which they were accrcditcd. I lA 1 endeavored to avoid tiny outlay on my account during my two visits to Jeddo, but was not able to do so completely. All the coolies employed' to carry my luggage on the roads were paid bv the Japanese and while I remained at Jeddo (nearly six months) my servants, guards, bearers, grooms, &e., together with some forty persons, were all fed'by the Japanese. I am 'inclined to tliink they arc most ignorant of the fact, that when the-'Burmesc'ambassa-dors' visited Paris/nnd when the Siamese envoy visited Engh/nd and 'France, that all-the expenses of these three emBasics were borne by the Governments* to which they were, respectively accredited."

The Japanese idea appears to be that ambassadors should bo received ami treated'by Governments with the same openhanded hospitality .that privite citizens extend to friends who visit them, and, acting on this theory themselves, thev expect

TIIK t'llAUACTKR OI' I.OI IX SAP#—WHAT If* SAID I- HIA.M i:. The Paris correspondent of the New York Herald writes as follows -*j

Bankers, ecclesiastics, diplomastists, merchants, the soldiers and civilians, alike seem to hold but one language, that the year 1860 cannot close without a war with England. Something like an accurate guage seems now to be applied to the character of the Emperor France does not scruple to dcclare that he is only now, in the face of Europe, enacting the same role which, almost from his infancy, he has been obliged to play behind the scenes.— He was born to conspire, they saj-. The earliest sounds that greeted his childhood's ears were redolent of conspiracy. Whether in Paris, on the alpine heights1of Switzerland, in the flowery land of Italy, or on the shores of perfidious Albion, conspiracy and'nothing but conspiracy, has been his dream by night, his earliest waking thought. His whole career of power has been one tissue of conspiracy. It is the food which sustains his existence, and every day it elevates him higher in the eyes of the whole world. He is now conspiring agaiast you.- What fools you must be to expect any thiug else. Has he not told you that his missiou was to avenge the defeat of Waterloo Is he not- a Bonaparte and does he not know that his sole title to tho continued prestige in the eyes of the nation that has raised him on its shoulders to the proudest throne in Christendom, is the understanding that the degradation of the Restoration shall be blotted out, the humiliation of France in the ignominous eaptivity of her great Captain avenged in the blood of the nation that caused it. Russia will have none of you, Austria-despises you you have but Prussia, and France lias sundry reckonings to make with her, which will probably end in a state of things as bad* if not worse,-than she suffered under Frederick William.— Napoleon I, always regretted leaving that power with, so much territory, a regret which his nephew will take care shall be needless.

"Mr. 'Harris, at once endeavored to have the necessary arrangements made for a proper compliance with/.'this request.— But the1 Japahbse Government' suddenly expressed. a strong desire that the period for the ratification of a treaty should be postponed, on accqunt of "a last effort which spme of .the JDiniios were making with the'3Iikado, t'd 'prestrvd, if possible, the ancierit law whifch inflicted the penalty of death oii' Wy Jap'ancse ^vho left the country."

From a paragraph in the foreign advices brought by the steamer Princc Albert, which arrived at St. John's yesterday, wc infer that the war between Spain and Morocco is virtually at an end.

The official Madrid Gazelle contains the preliminaries of the treat}* of peace between Spain and Morocco. Morocco cedes all the territory between the sea and the road to Atighcria. The Convention of 18H9, relative.To Manilla, is ratified. An indemnity of 20,000,UUU piastres is to be paid to Spaii.ij.for the expciiaus-of the war, and in the meantime, Spain i« to hohl Tetutan. The commercial treaty is guaranteed, and a Spanish .minister and missi"i aries are permitted to reside at I"ex. The treaty is to be signed "at Tetuan, .Anril 8d, and a commission is to be appointed to determine the boundaries between Spain aud Morocco.

'VISITORS EXTRAORDINARY.—An offiein embassy from Japan is on its WSJ-0 this ARIUVAL country and will arrive before long, to visit, evenings L., look at and be astonished by our people '-,roII-'it and institutions. The embassy will consistof between sixty and seventy Japan-j ese, as follows:

I'0S80. I.V IJQi OltS. [Kmm the Xcw Y«-rk Tribune.]

Dr.'lltram Cox, Chemical Inspector of Liquors for Ohio, gave a lecture last evening, on the adulteration of liquors, in the Cooper Institi or 80. people.

Wm. E. Dodge, Esq., in introducing the

"Wottld amount to $^4,000 per day, ur SS.-

00,000 per year. Dr. Cox stated that he was simply the Inspector of llmnilUm county, including the city of(Cincinnati. Ibiring the last five years he had .made 2,679 analyse*.— Of these but 8 ")0 wort! gciuune, and i!"nl Were mixed. All the balance were adulterated with such things as sulphuric acid, prussic acid, strychnine, stramonium, pepper, See. Lately he had examined some lii) samples in Philadelphia. One sample of be^r gave sulphuric acid, alum, sulphate of iron, salt,(water. There was none of the extract of malt. He did not find a single pure article of brandy iu that city. While reading his lecture on brandy, a dealer came up with a bottle and offered him S2,500 to show that there was anything but brandy in' that brandy He analyzed it, and found nothing but whisky, rotgut, corn whisky, fusil oil, nitric ether, and pepper. But he didn't get the $2,500. A gentleman by the name of Probasco—Judge ProbasL-o—told him that his wife was iif delicate health, nnd was advised to take a spoonful two or throe times a day.

The Judge Was also in feeble health, nnd he begged-the lJoutor to analyze-it. He found a great quantity of sulphate acid and prussic acid. It was well known that the prussic acid camc from cherry-laurel.— They geriei-all^ni^froni '5 to 5 ounces in a -gallon of whisky, NX give it.age. To destroy the fusil oil. sulphuric acid was added to whisky, in connection with quick lime.— Considerable merriment was occasioned by some questions which a gentleman in the audience sslfffd.

portunity of seeing Saycrs, and trying his prowes.s, if his courage did uot fail him.— As luck would have it, Saycrs drove up in a gig with a friend, got down and asked, quite unpretendingly, for a glass of ale.— A whisper soon ran round, "That's him, that's Savers, the champion." Of this, Tom-took no notice, being accustomed to admiration, and busy for the nonce in coilversing with a friend at the bar. The huuo navigator approached him, clapped him on the hack, saying, "So, thee beest Savers, the champion—a pretty champion surely," —surveying liitn from head to foot, Sayers •paying no attention. "Do you hear me,

I'll drink wi' the champion, I will." So he stretched his hand toward the glass containing Sayers' untasted ale. "No! no! my tt iend," said Tom, "not that glass, if you please I don't like any man to drink out of my glass unless I ask him. Order any thing you like and I'll pay for it," (the fellow still stretching out his paw,) "but not that glass, if you please." tell thee, 1 will drink out of thy glass, and no other champion's glass—lie's a foine champion, he he why. I could lick two such men as you be." "Don't, he ("iresnni, my good follow," said Sayers, "I shall be g'ad (ogive you any thing you like to drink ijut you see am engaged with a friend and don't drink out of my glass without my leave, that is all." These expressions were repeated, with some variations, until til last, tiie navy sized the glass from befnm S:i Jiii'i !r mk it* contents, with au

It, saying', "There, I zed I would—I've

drunk wi'champion." In a moment then Sayers turned round aud faced him. "Get yourself together," he shouted, "for I am going to hit you." The navy took up his attitude, and the two began sparring.— Sayers positively crouched like a tiger about to spring. One, two, three feints from Sayers, then the opening and'then tho blows, left and right, one on the forehead and the other on the jaw-bone of the bully. Down he went, his head striking the floor first, and lay there insensible, lie was carried into an adjoining parlor a doctor sent for his skull was fractured and his jaw broken! For four months, during which time he could not work, Saycrs supported him.

Not a score of evenings since, nii_,ht have been seen come on hoard the eastern-, bound train at Logausport, Ind., two gentlemen and a lady whose destination was eastward. The young lady seemed to be their especial care, and upon taking berths in the sleeping car, tho two gents were anxious to occupy a couch either above or below their charge. The accommodating conductor eompliod with their wishes, and the first half. hour found them snugly slowed away. At I'cru another gentleman came in and took a berth, but could not rest. At Fort Wayne lie got up and claimed he could not sleep, and circulated around until he found the I'onductor to he possessed of a disposition to secure every

comfort to his passengers to induce repose when he utifolde 1 to him his case. "Those two burly fellows occupying the lower ti• -r

1 who was dying to think that tlie nuptials

port which of the betrothed were thus to be indefinitely postponed and the aid of the conductor was implored to secure a chance for h'm to put in a word edge-wise," before it were too late, and exhibiting a half eagle, said he would give ten minutes conversation with hi^dariing. Moved hv the most generous impulses, the conductor awakened the gentleman sleeper, who occupied the'middle jjt-r next the young holy's head, and told him that ho would

Uieaily oblige him by taking another birth which was prepared for him opposite, to which the stranger, like a kind hearted gentleman, assented—and the discon-olato lover was iustalied in tho place of the sleeper.

By the politeness of Deputy Warden Day, we ajrain visited the prison which has been fitted up for tiieir temporary occupation and found it safe as bars arid bolts and armed guards and vigilant officers could make it. A strong, twenty-foot wall 150 feet square with sentry boxes 011 each corner, will be immediately erected-around the prison. Every arrangement for thorough ventillation, cooking, lodging, kc., for the prisoners has been judiciously made. —Michigan City Enterprise.
