WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.—Ths bill reported by Senator Saunders, to establish the Territory of Pembina, proposes to forma new territory from that portion of Dakota lying north of the forty-sixth parallel of latitude.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l/.—Representative Mohan introduced a bill in the House today, directing the National Board of Health to make a thorough investigation of the causes of insanity in the United States, and the method of treatment in the several States, and submit a report to the next Congress, giving the result of their investigation, with any recomendatlons which may seem well adapted to prevent the increase of insanity and secure its better treatment.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The House committee on war claims agreed to report favorably to the House the bill appropriating $108,000 for the payment of the claims reported allowed by the commissioners of claims, under the act of Con gress of March 3. 1871, It embraces nine ty-tbrce claims of persons residing in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Lousiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Caroli na, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

WASHINOTON Feb. 14.—The members of the linance committee expect to begin the consideration of the refunding bill in the Senate io-morrow, if there are no appro priation bills in the way. The Democrats on the committee are very earnest in their intention to push the measure through the Senate, in order that the differences between the two Houses may be reconciled, if possible, in a conference com mittee. The principal amendments of the finances committee are an increase in the rate of interest to 8^ per cent., and an extension of the life of the bonds to twenty years.

WAsniNofoN, Feb. 14.—Representative F. A. Hurd, o^Ohio, says "that the present system of passing river and harbor bills under a suspension of rules, without amendment or debate, is the very best pos sible system that can be derived If river and harbor bills were reported to the House as other bills, are, subject to amend ment, you would see something that might be called log rolling. I think that $35,000,000 would be appropriated for rivers and harbors each year if the bills were allowed to be amended by the House. Every member would insist upon securing his individual appropriation combi nations would be formed to pass items which no committee would ever entertain, and the upshot of the business would be that everything asked for would be given, regardless of justice or propriety. I thipk I understand the true motive of the opposition which exists to the passage of the river and harbor bill, and I am ready to vote for it every dav until the 4th of of March, if that length of time is required to pass it."

Lrrrts ROCK, Feb. 14.—Hon. Fernando Wood member of Congress from New York, expired last night, at 9 O'clock. Since his arrival at the springs, a short time ago, fee has been in a very weak and almost hopeless condition, which continu* ed. without the slightest change, until he was overtaken by death.

KATB CLAXTON.

*r"A large audience greeted the appearance of tlrts artist at the Opera House last night, the upper parts or the house being crowded almost to suffocation. The Two Orphans was the attraction of the evening, ana notwithstanding that it has been -played in every bamlet throughout the union, it still appears fresh and new. The Two Orphans was first produced in this country, we believe at the Union Square Theatre in New York some six years ago, with Kate Claxton and Kitty Blanchard in the title role. The play made a decided bit, and since then Miss Claxton has been

a poor lone orphan. JThe performance last night, was up to "the asual high standard although to the public Henriette surpassed the star of the evening. Miss Claxton did very well, but Miss Elmore was the star of the even-

•'La Frochard" of Mrs Burton was almost real in Its cruelty, and was equal to that of Mrs. Wilkins in the original cast. Chas. A. Stevenson showed himself to be a finished actor, in his rendition of the double characters "Pierre" and "Chevalier de Vaudry." Miss Dollie Pike as "Countess de Lineres," was all that could be desired. uad the character of "Picard" was also well sustained.

HEART8 OF OAK.

Heme's "Hearts of Oak" combination will be here two nights this week, 16th and 17th. The press speaks in glowing terms of their performance.

The company was recently snowed in for two nights, on board of a railroad train, ,%nd had quite a time of it. WV MY PARTNER

Aldrich and Parsloe, in Bartley Campbell's successful play "My Partner" will open at the Opera House next Monday night. The New York Herald speaks as follows of the play.

Mr. Bartley Campbell has written several excellent plays, none better, however, than "My Partner." In happy commingling humor and homely pathos, the author appears to have succeeded in giving us a purely American drama, based on incidents that are possibly, and represented by characters tnat are not extravagant. There are no revolver discussions and lynchings, no eruption of red shirts and slang phrases, but in their place the home utterances of men and women. r"\. THE CALICO BALL.

The ball held last night, under the auspices of the Ringgold band, was very well attended. A prize for the neatest fitting calico dress was won by Miss Bessie Gallagher. What was chiefly noticed about the room was 'he scarcity of men—there being two ladies to every man in the room. We hope the boys will turn out better next time ."7/ ",

Wilhelmj—Frltch—Sternberg.

A grand combination concert will be given at the Opera House on next Tuesday evening 22nd inst., by the following well known and celebrated European artists: Constantin Sternberg, the great Russian Pianoist, who has besn creating an immense furore at his concerts in New York Miss Letitia L. Fritch, the young and charming Pdma Donna, Soprano, with the great August Wilhelmj, the world renowned Violin Virtuoso. Mr. Mas Vogrich. Musicial Director. This being the flrgt great musical attraction that we have had this season, we have no doubt our great musical public will turn out in full force and these celebrated artists will be greeted with a crowded house, and a hearty welcome. Popular prices will be adopted. Sale of scats on Saturday morning at Buttons.

The New York Sun says of Constantin Steinberg, the young Russian Piano Virtuoso, or whom we have heard so much, made his debut at the New York Academy of Music, Ock 7, before an immense audience. To say that Sternberg was a great success but faintly expresses the enthusiasm and overwhelming applause that ai tended his efforts, and it can be truthfully affirmed that he fully deserves all that had been said by the Russian and German art critics, who have styled him "the successor of the great Liszt, and the most prominent of our modern school of musicians." He gave the great Scbarwenka Concerto with a beauty and originality of conception that was a revelation, and the ease and grace with which be surrounded the terrible difficulties and enormous demands, proved bim to be a great virtuoso to* the fullest extent of the word.

The Chicago Time* says of August Wilhelmj: As he walked with great dignity down to the footlights, with his StradivarI as under his arm. the whole audience wen hushed in expectant silence then burst forth a storm of applause greater than has been heard for many a day in Library Hall. He Is massive, physically as well as mef idly. He stands over six: feet and hi fine! Topcrtioncd. His face seems almost explv. jtonleas when in repose, but lights up when influenced by any emotion. Stanlin«*s9 is his prevailing characteristic. He is manly In his pertonnd, manly in his iteilectual power, and manly \m his a Posssessed of perfect self-controL he seemod to show perfect command of bis instrument before be raised his bow. Hie aadtene* knew they had before them the greatest of all violin virtuosos.

Vleuxtemps, Sainton, Remenyi, and all of his contemporaries will admit of no comparison with him. Hie only violinist that can be brought into contrast with him to show Wilhdmft superiority, ts his old friend and master. Heir Joachim.

Even a criticism of praise seems a difficult task, for it seems impossible to properly define the merits of t^is artist. One moment yon are listening to ctear«at staccato passages, that astonish by their brilliancy, Mid then some long melodic theme «s cung from the Instrnmcutwiiha dbarm that sets the heart with delight. ~*s rank among iolNtsts can

The Scenery of Iceland.

'L The fiords which, bursting through the rocky barrier that guards the coast, ran far up into the interior, constitute a most characteristic feature of Icelandic scenery. They have all a great similarity of form, so that the description of the general features of one one may serve equally for that of all others. Having, probably, been at first rents or chasms produced by the general upheaving of the island, their length is often very disproportioned to their breadth some of them being scarcely two miles wide yet extending twenty-five .or ^ven thirty miles into the country, and continue still farther by narrow vales, down which the mountain rivers find their way to the sea. Lofty ridges, running out into the the ocean, and ending in precipitous headlands, separate them from each other. In the neighborhood of the Rode and Bern Fiords these assume their most magnificent appearance, attaining an elevatiou of nearly 4.000 feet though their average height on other parts of the const is only about half of that now specified. So sudden is the rise of these mountains, that it is no uncommon thing to find precipices 1,000 feet high, from the top of which a stone may be cast into J.he sea. The fiords are thus shut in on both sides by perpendicular walls of rock towering up to a treimudous height, whose summits are clothed with eternal suows, or veiled in dark clouds, AH around seems dead no trace of life is visible. Man aud all that he produces vanish amidst the mightier works of nature. Woods aud the higher classes of the vegetable creation are entirely wanting, and the uaked rocks are too steep lor even the hardy birch or stunted willow to fix their roots. No sound is heard save the billows dashing on the craggy shore, no motion seen but the cataracts rushing down the rugged cliffs. Suchjis the general appearance of these fiords, and the repulsive aspect they present y$t|there does the Icelander choose his dwelling, unappalled by ihe rocks which threaten every moment to crush him by their fall. The island istnowhere thickly peopled, but these friths and all their connected valleys are more so than any other 'portion. Here grassy meadows are found in the immediate vicinity of the sea and here, therefore, .the natives can employ in conjunction both of these sources of gain which alone the severe climate leaves open to them. On their shores are the finest pastures for cattle, while their waters area favorite retreat of the cod, the most valued of the fish caught on the coast.

Buck wheat in tho West. Western farmers are constantly complaining that-there is qo home market for their products, and that they are obliged to send everything to the seaboard states or to Europe in order to obtain money for it. The cost of transportation, they affi'/m, reduces the price to such an extent that there is lijbtle or no profit in forming.. If they had a home market for their crops they could become wealthy In the business of producing them. They say all these things, in face of the feet that this market is supplied with turnips from Canada, cider from Ohio, corn-huaks from Maryland, peanuts from Tennessee, and sweet potatoes from New Jersey. ^This market is rarely supplied with the requisite amount of bupkwheat, or tho flour made from it. What generally passes for' buckwheat flour is a mixture, in various proportions, of rye and corn meal, wheat middlings, and a small quantity of the article for which it is named. The comparatively small amount of buckwheat sold here and in other western cities comes principally from New York, Pennsylvania and Canada. There is no good reason why the West cannot produce this grain not only for home consumption, but for the supply of other sections of the country. The consumption of buckwheat would be d/"bled if a genuine article of flour was 1 julactured and put on the market in packages suited to the wants of the retail trade.

Take the seasons as they go, buckwheat is a profitable crop to raise. Only a hall' bushel of seed is sufficient for an acre. The average yield per acre is about twenty bushels. A machine is not necessary to cut it, and it may be thrashed economically with a flail and winnowed by pouring it through a current of air. It exhausts the soil less than any sown crop that can be produced on it. It may be rained to good advantage on land too poor to produce paying crops of corn, wheat, oats, rye, or potatoes. The crop is use Ail in subduing tough sod and preparing it for the growth of plants that require thorough cultivation. The ground may be prepared for it, the seed sown, and the grain harvested at times when work on the form is not driving. It matures quicker than any field crop produced on northern forms.

A fair yield of grain Is often obtained from land on which a crop of foil rye or gr*es has been harvested before the ploughing was done. To produce a large crop, the soil should be good. To give the best results it should be as well prepared aa for a crop of corn or small grains. The res* *m why small crops of buckwheat are often produced are manifest The land in which it is sown is of the poorest quality, and ao pains are taken with its preparation. The seed is often several years old, and is scattered over the ground by a pearson unacquainted with sowing grains. An attempt is made to cover it by drawing a harrow over a lot of torf, stones and lumps of hard earth. No good crop of any kind la obtained by this kind of
