' Congress finally settled the adjournment question by an agreement of both houses to adjourn laat Saturday nntil the first Wednesday of July, snd then if no quorum present, until December. Tho Wheat snd Fruit Prospect. ' From all part of the West tho cheering news comes that the wheat crop promises well. Indeed such a yield is looked fur as wo bare never had before. Tho winter in this State, although quito sovaro, has been favorable to thia crop, owing to the groat araouut of snow which served as a protection. The fruit crop of the West promises well in the aggregate, Peaches and cherries alone are injured, and these are only partially destroyed by frost. Tho President In Trouble.

Nitrous Oxide or Laughing Gas. This exhilarantand anaesthetic, now used by Dr. J. W. Kcely of Brookvillo In 'extracting teeth without pain, has proved an entire success as far as wo have learned. Tie question may be asked, How can nitrous oxida.bo ao perfect an exhilarant and anaesthetic at the same timo ? There are two distinct effects of the gas hoisteroutntti snd qnUtne$3 determined mainly by tho amount administered and the manacr of the administration. For the extraction of, teeth, the quiet necessary is easily obtai ncd; the' effect plcatant and perfectly fafe, and the operation painless in almost every" "instance.' Wo' aro informed that irhns been administered in one establishment to over thirty thousand persons with marked success, without accident or injury. ' - : School Whipping. . Thero has been some school whipping litigation in Ashland, 0. Miss. Mary A. Galloway,' teacher, whipped a boy, five years eld, jor disturbing the school' by ponding with hia slate, and refusing to stop when ordered, She inflicted the punishment "with a small switch, which did

the boy no harm, for evidenco showed also that she had been subjected to repeated annoyance Jby tho lad, and in rciponso to her request to tho parents to keep the child away from the school his ago being objectionable they insisted on his attendding, to keep him out of their way. The jury returned a verdict of "not guilty." Wilkes Booth's Diary. The diary pf Booth, concerning which so much has been said of late, is a small pocket memorandum book, in which are entrica concerning a variety of aubjects ; items of personal expenses, entries of ao cial visits, and statements of various mat ters concerning hia flight after the assassi nation. It contains a description of his terrible condition tho Friday subsequent to Mr. Lincoln's desth, icing then, with a broken leg, alono and an outcast in the Potomac swamps, and this is evidently written in a perfect agony of feeling. The missing pages may have been torn out by Booth on various occasions, or cut out by some of the soldiers through whose hands it passed; or, as Mr. Butler believes, re moved by some one in high Executive cir clcs. . ' Organization of the Republican Party a .1 A I . in norm uarouna. Tho Republican party nf North Caro lina organized in Ilaleigh on Thursday last. The Convention numbered ono hundredand thirty delegates. Organization was effected on tho fundamental grounds' of onion, liberty and equality. Tho Union Convention, of whites and blacks, after a two days' aossion, has adjourned. They adopted Bomo Republican resolutions, and eulozizo that party for tho overthrow of tho rebellion. It should command tho rospect of every ' candid man. Congress is entitled to tho thanks of tho world for its constant devotion to human rights, as in tho Declaration of Independence. They cordially accept tho reconstruction plan, and rcjoico that the dogmatical side is overthrown. They inculcate supreme allegiance to tho Federal Government, not to the States with a reservation; indorso the Civil High ti '"bill and impartial lurTrngo without property qualification or distinction of color; praio Lincoln; demand free speech on public matters; plcdgo tho maintcnanco of the national credit; invito all political persuasions to unito with them in behalf of tho principles avowed.'

Frightful Tragedy. .A correspondent of tho Indianapolis Journal describes a frightful tragedy which ho says occured near Fefu, Indiana, & few days since. A man sold his farm for $14,000, and went to Peru to deposit his money. He did not reach his desti nation until the banks were closed, and so stopped at a hotel until tho next morning. He woke in the night with a strong pre sentiment that something had gone wrong with his family,and wss with difficulty per suaded to return to bed by two of his neigh bors who occupied the same room. In tho courso of half an hour ha again awoke, and persisted in coins home. His friends ft WW accompanied him. On reaching his houso he found, the doors locked and heard t aoiso within. Looking through a windov ho saw his wife and his four children mur dcrcd. Tho perpetrators of the bloody deed were still in tho house, ransacking every corner and rcccptaclo for booty The farmer and his friends forced an en trance, and attacked the murderous free hooters, four in number, shot three of them dead, and aevcrely wounded the fourth. ' On being wnhcdand stripped of disguise, tho wounded man proved to bo no other than tho purchaser of tho farm. The Nohtii Western Farmer, for April is beforo us, rrpleto as usual with useful and interesting reading, as well as quito attractive in its general appearance and from its beautiful illustrations. This new Western monthly is now in its second year, and from its nppcaranco and tho constant improvement that is noticcablo each month, wo judgo that it has passed the doubtful point, and is as reliable and permanent as any of tho older journals. Wo can scarcely understand how the publisher can furnish so largo and fine a Magazine for so small a sum, and' it will certainly bo still moro wondeiful, if ho docs not recoivo a very largo list of pat rons at his rates. It is eminently a live Wettern Agricultural and Horticultural Journal, and merits the support of every friend of those interests in this great scotion. Terms SI a year. T. A.

Immersion. We learn from the Hamilton TtlegrapK

that on Sunday afternoon of last week four males and eight females wera baptized in the river at that place by Rev. Mr. Shaw of Harrison, who is on a visit to the Christian Baptist Church of Hamilton. On Monday morning eleven more were immersed, and on the same evening a largo number joined the Church.. The Telegraph 6ays: , The Christain Baptist Church has been holding a protracted meeting for some weeks past, arid has met with much success. Their labors have been strengthened and assisted by Rev. Mr. Shaw, who closed his labors on Sunday evening last. Pos sessing a fino intellect, a commanding presence, strong vocal powers, and an unblemished character, he has been an instrument ofgrcat good to the people of the First Ward, and has commanded the respect and admiration of our entire com munity. Wo hope this labors in other places will prove as successful as in this, and that tho Church he has so greatly assisted here will continuo to prosper and strengthen in membership and good works. On Monday morning cloven more wcro immersed, and ,on the same evening a largo number joiucd tho church. . fleCrkably Severe. Tho Macon (tla.) Messenger of March 22d has a remarkably severe article on the President and Northern Democrats. It says : Andrew Johnson has at last yicldod. Thank Cod for it. He has dono us an immense deal of harm : crippled us when our armies were in tho field; rejected the terms which Grant snd Sherman gave us, and then, at last, has kept sectional hate and animosity Btirrod up againat ns by his un-sise course and his foolish conflict with Congress and Northern sentiment And now wo hope President Johnson's opposition to tho Government will cease. lie haa opposed it so Ion and induced our peoplo to oppose it so long, holding out to us the fa be idea that he would do something for us, that he haa done infinite ly more harm than all other men and all oth er causea combined. But for him we would long ago. have been admitted into the Union and upon far better terms than wo shall now bo able to obtain. He has been the most effective enemy wo have had." The Messenger then specifies its rcssons for tho- abovo charges. They are that be was greatly influential in arraying the border States against the South; in sus taining the war ; that he required harder terms after the surrender than Grant and Sherman : that he has inspired the South with false hopes; excited tho North against tho South by his frenzied speeches during hia Western tour, and whilo his relief of lho South has been entirely in talk and notin actions; whilo giving tho South apparent ground for hope of interference in its behalf, ho hesitated, dallied and proved himself a dastard. Tho spell, the Messenger continues, is now broken. Tho South prefers to trust its fate to open enemies rather than falxo friends. It prefers old Lien Wade, old Thad fc' to vein and old Horace Greeley to Johnfon, of Tennessee, and Johnson, or .Maryland. lho l'rc&i dent has talked in its behalf, and so has tho littlo villain. Rut as Raymond has Blwaja. voted u.i-jw-t tho South, ao J ultimo it has at least nor iWod for it. It then ottacks tue northern Democrats lor their ful50 support. It says: 4,Many of them declared that the South could bo coerced only over their dead bodies. And it was ao. but not in tho sen so in which they intended us to understand their declaration. Tho South was coerced over soire of their dead bodice, but they had enough livin bodies left to enforce the coercion.'.' Riot In Anrora. Quito a serious riot occurred at the Catholic Church in Aurora, on Sunday of last weak, tho particulars of which aro given by tho Lawrencoburg Vrcu as follows : Sotno years ago,' Mr. L. Rudolph, who formerly kept tho Fanners' Hotel in Aurora, sold to'tfio Catholio Society tho ground on which a Priest's house was erected, and fuilirg to get his money from tho society as agreed, he and the i'riest, Father Klein, have had considerable of a niusj brewing for a year cr two, which, eicht or ten months sg), wa somewhat ventilated throuch tho papers by both parties. Since tho exiwtenco of tho hard feelings Mr. Uudolphnnd his family havo not been attending Church regularly, but on Sabbath last concluded to go, and did go. Their prccnco in tho Church would not ho tolerated by the l'ricst and his friends, and wo havo heard that tho l'ricst told somo of his fricndi, to 'go for him," which was accordingly done, and Rudolph and wifo and friends wero forcibly ejected from the Church, In tho afternoon, there being scrvico again, Rudolph and fiiends being good pluck, wcro on hand, and a regular riot took place, witnessed by not less than 1000 citizens of Aurora, in which stone, bricks, &c, wcro freely used, and ono German woman so badly beaten that eho is not expected to live. Rudolph beinj n German, the Germans mostly tided with him, and tho Irish members of tho Church with tho Driest. Monday and Tuesday havo bcon occupied with trials of tho matter b'Cfore tho' Mayor, and we learn that Fomo six or seven trials altogether are to como off.

Address Ticknor & Fields, 124 Tremonrt St., Boston,Mass. The eubjoinod communication was received too late for last week: Democratio Candidates for Commission er. Bio Cedar, March 25, 1SC7. Mr. American, The readers of the Democrat feel satisfied that that party will have plenty of candidates for County Commissioner. Some of the would-be County dads aro making every cfcrtion to secure the nomination, as that is equivalent to an election in thia County. It is to be hoped that a selection will bo made of a man who has the interest of the whole County at heart, aud not ono who hus only his own personal interest in view. Wm. Robeson, a candidate, wants a road from tho Carmel pike . to his warohouse, and thinks the best way to get it ia to get to bo Commissioner. Tho road is impracticable, and will cost more in the long run than a bridge across the Bast Fork at tho old placo. His selfishness is too apparent; beaides, the Democrats have hot forgotten that h wa Sheriff four years, Treasurer four years, and the expose of Burton as published ia the Democrat after the expiration of his term as Treasurer. Jacob Krtel of Butler is a good man, an honest German; buthia private interests are the same ss Commissioner Bath, and it is talked around that ho haa promised to Bath to build a bridge at New Trenton the first thing. That will suit a portion of Highland and Butler Townhips in thil County, but will accommodate more of Dearborn County, whoso Commissioners refused to give one cent when oura offered to foot two-thirds of the cost; I have not heard if any of tho other candidates want roads or bridges for themselves or not; but should they bo nominated, will let you know, and we will try to defeat them in October. But I hope one will bo nominated who is in favor of bridges, and who will build first for those who will contribute tho largest per cent, of the cost Justice. MILK-SICKNESS. "Wasiiinqton, D. C., March 28,18G7. Mr. Editor -In the American of the 22d I sco that a Mr. Jerry of Illinois has at last discovered the cau30 of milk-sick-nes, and that he is fully convinced in his own mind on the subject. This an nounccment calls to my mind a "scrap of history." I do not wish to gather fruits from C. V. C.'s field, hut I expect he doesn't know of this. Ho will therefore excuse mc for rcminitcin'7. if thereby I can throw any licht on the milk-sick mystery. Tho Summer of 1S37 was an unusolly dry one. Failure dried up. Springs dried up. Everything went dry. My father was com pelled to turn all Lis Mock out, that it might find water and live in the woods, as the pasturo was gone. As a consequence of something, twenty-two of his cattle and two colts died. I attempted a jvntmorkm ou one of tho cattle soon after death, but putrifuction progressed ao rapidly that my pursuit of tho morbid anatemy in the cake was arrested before I discovered the CJUfO of tho milk-sickness. Tho plague was not confined to our cattle alone, but tunny others died. Tho dieene prevailed also through our State and iu Illinois and Ohio. A gentleman of Illinois, who had formerly lived near, or at Urbana' Ohio, aud who was intercftod in investigations of this character, gave himself to the investigation of tho came of milk-sickness during this year. 1 refer to Mr. T. S. II in de, an acquaintance of Mr. J. W. Ilitt. Mr. Hindu thought ho discovered the mystery, and communicated with Mr. Ilitt and my father. Ho had n.adc his observations and experiments cautiously, and came' to his conclusion, not as uu enthusiast, but as a careful observer. Ho found the cause existing in a creeping vino something similar to tho poinon-oak (toxlrodtnJroii.) I forget now the botanicul namo of this fatal vino. Mr. Hindo cnclosod iu a letter somo leaves, and so minute and careful a description that wo had no didiculty in finding that tho vino abounded in- our woodland ond pasturcsskirting tho woods, aud plentifully in tho woods South and Southeast of Mr. Colc?cott's farm, where our cattlo had gono for water and to browro after we had turned them out. Of courco tho great difficulty was solved, and my father put all of his forco at ouco to the task of exterminating tho pest from all his enclosures. Wc worked at it for days, and I think went all over tho fields and found tho vine in sufficient quantity to produce any required amount of nulk-eick-ncss. In tho meantime, a calf that was accustomed to run and half livo on tho parched commons about town where thero was no poison vino, was bought for ?2T0 by a joint stock company, just for tho cruel purpose or giving it tho mult-sick, by abutting it up whero it could not get anything to cat, and thou feeding it on nothing but poison vine. Scionco must sometimes do cruel things, such as holding snakes over tho lire until they stick out their feet, tc. The calf was penned. Wo carriod in great loads of tho vino as we camo from our work at night. I was appointed commissary, with orders to issue rations liberally. Tho calf accepted tho situation, and ate as if tired of life snd eager to bo killed by that treatment. Interested parties visited it. Knowing ones could soou ace milk-kick in its eyes, and could certainly smell the peculiar smell accompanying a caso of the terrible disease. filial is the way many people know a caso of üiilk-eick smell it, though often get mistaken.) The calf, however, would not so much us get sick enough to "trimble," though that symptom of approaching dissolution was noticed by a lew of the visitors. The calf kept eating until it improved in flesh and manifested a decided gratification when the commicBary boy brought ita rations. After carrying tho experiment so far as to sco marked improvement in the fleshy condition of the calf, wo turned it out again to grass, and it showed its appreciation of tho kindness bestowed upon it, by staying close about ita pen and begging to be killed more. I think it reverted to its original owner, as the enormous prico of $2,50 was only to, bo paid in cobo of its death.

So with every discovery, as far as I know, of the cause of milk-sickness. It has been found in tho spiings, in the dews, in the exhalations from mineral substances, and in many vegetables. But no discoverer can kill a calf with his discovery. The most rational solution is, that there is no such disease as milk-sickness; and yet I am not prepared to accept that solution. I have never aeen a case reputed to be milk-sickness in the human subject, but that furnished all the symptoms of gastritis (inflammation of the etomach) and nothing moro. Others may hare, and I ought not to question their judgment.

J. It. O. LETTER FROM HARRISON. . IlAitnisojr, 0., April 1, 18C7. Dear American, To-day is an import ant era in the history of the whiskey-reb-el-sympathizing-Butternut Democracy in Harrison. It is too early at this writinc to pronounce as to the result, but a com parison of tho ticket presented by tho two! parties would pretty clearly indicate the moral character and standing of those constituting the parties represented by each. We are often surprised that so many who claim to bo moral, law-abiding, and even religious men, are found identified with and supporting for office the drunkard, the liquor-seller, tho gambler and loafer, and, in addition, those disqualified both by natural deficiency of talents and profound ignorance. Well, we may be certain that our-State .Constitution will never be changed by copperhead votes so as to requiro an educational test, as a qualification, to vote or hold office. The boot and shoe-shop of Mr. F. Hillman, and the woolen factory of W. W. Daiion fc Co. were entered by burglars last night and the tcoundrcls escaped wjthout detection. Mr. Hillman loses twenty or thirty dollars worth of stock, and Mr. Davison perhaps near a hundred dollars' worth. I believe the Bev. Mr. Chase has . concluded definitely to come to our town, but I am not informed when his school will open. We hope he will commence at an early day, and have no fears but success and prosperity will attend his enterprise, k good school is one of the great wants of our beautiful village. We have many children, employ six teachers in our common schools, expend large 6uins for their maintainince, but for many months they have proved one very grand failure ; aud while under the control of a directory so emphatically disqualified for their position, wc cannot expect much improvement. At present there ufe but fow buildings going up in Harrison. A few small hou.ocs arc in course of erection, and our friends of tho Methodist KpUcopal Church are putting up a large chuich edifice. They will, with their numbers and capita!, perhaps find it difficult to meet the outlay, but we havo heard that another society are quietly waiting to take it off their hands when completed. Absence from tho village, want of time for gathering up items, and press of business, must be my excuse for the dearth of news in this; but with tho promiso of trying to do better at some future time, 1 remain yours, Vkkry Mo.MfcOSK.
