We want every lady to see our Spring importation of Corsets, so extensive, so fresh and clean. We can not describe it it has to be seen to be appreciated. We lelieve it is impossible to form any opinion of the variety of beautiful goods in this market without seeing our stock. Of course our customers are aware of the facts that many of the Corsets we handle are confined to us, and. are not to be seen'in any other establishment in this city. Ladies ought to bear this in mind when about to purchase, and examine these Corsets before buying any other. We might say a great deal to commend our assortment that it is the large and most varied; that the shapes are the newest and most impoved etc., etc.; but after all is said, seeing is believing. We only ask ladies who have not seen our stock to see it and be convinced it is all we claim it to be the best nd cheapest in the city ' Pettis, IverscSsCo., THE NEW YORK STORE lllDUIUPQtlS L.

The third Sabbath School Institute of the tweond district met with the Second Baptist Church Sunday School, of Mechanlcsburg, Saturday, March 4th, and Sunday, the 5th. C. D.

) gates, who cap take part In the work and not work our delegates to death hereafter. The attendance was large and a deep Interest manifested In all the proceedings. The reports from various schools were encouraging us it was shown by them that many had been converted during the revival reason from the M. 8., to swell the number of the church. A renewed effort will be made all along the line to make this district one of the best in the convention, if not the best for active work. We do not desire to be so high "that we can not reach down our hand and say to Brother II. come on. The O. U. O. of O. F. will give attheir Hall, at no distant date, an entertainment. The altar made by Mr. Robert Walker for the Odd Fellows Hall, Is a master-piece of mechanical work, and is worth about 7-. This proves Mr. Walker's ability as a . mechanic. . 1 Mrs. Rebecca Bass is now lying very ill at her residence on South Market. Mr. Mc we think, will soon lead to the altar a dashing widow of 33 summers. Elb received-an Invitation to accompany a friend to Canada soon. What will follow I must not tell. Mr. M. Hamilton says he would love, but then he would not be loved in return. We see he likes to go on South Gallager. Mr. R.W. is now carrying a Canada shadow near his heart, to which he seems much devoted. Julia Wilson, of Newport, Ky., who has been spending several days with Joseph Parian on South Center street, left for home last Thursday.

Urban Ohio. G. B. Hamlet has ho far recovered from his recent illness as to be able to visit his friends here, accompanied by his family, though It will be at least three weeks before he shall be fit for duty. They are the guests of Miss Charlotte Taylor, who so successfully attended him In his Illness. Mr. J. Becks, of Marlon, Ind., is again in the city and will spend a while with old friends and acquaintances. He Is domiciled with Mr. Lucien Ford. Miss Maggie, daughter of Mr. James Artis, of West Liberty, returned home last Tuesday after spending a week visiting her cousin Miss Emma Boyd. The following ladies of our city are spending a while In Springfield, assisting in the ' great revival there: Miss Julia Tudor, Mrs. E. J. Byrd, Miss Alice Reynolds and Miss Belle Redmond. ' In the Urbana Citizen and Gazette, of the 2nd inst., we find the following mention made by the regular correspondedt regarding Hon. J. P. Green, the colored legislator from Clevland: M The Speaker occasionally vacates the chair, calling on Thorp, of Ashtabula, or Littler, of Clark, to preside in his absence. On Wednesday last he called to the vacant seat Mr. J. P. Green, of Cleveland, the only colored man in the House, the first time, perhaps, In the history of the State that a colored man was chosen to preside over the deliberations of either branch of the General Assembly. It ! is needless to say that he presided with dignity j and credit to himself, and during the pro ceedings had the courage to declare a point of order not well taken contrary to the usual ruling, and confirmed his opinion by Cashings manual, the ultimate authority on all mooted questions. Mr. Green Is slightly built, dresses neatly in black cloth, unobtrusive in his manners, has a clear tenor voice and is heard over the hall, where voices of thrice Its volume are Inarticulate sounds. lie enunciates every syllable with a peculiar precision, and with a grammatical accuracy not common to all spec kers who harangue the House. He Is understood to be a practicing attorney and for a number of years has discharged the duties of a justice of the peace for Cuyahoga, and the bills be has presented indicate the current of his thoughts. A critical observer would take him to be over sensitive when his measures are attacked, and a pertinacity in maintaining a point where a ready surrender would be a victory. From the humblest sta tion he has honestly earned bis present posi tion, and he has a right to foel proud that his co-representatives ungrudgingly. recognize his merits. h Albany, N". Y. To the Editor of the Leader: Albany, N. Y., March! 11. Although the first month of this session, of the Legislature was entirely lost through the Democratic squablo for the spoils it Is generally thought that the final adjournment will come at about the usual time, the last week in May. The session, accordingly, is now about half over I and the two houses are) down to practical work. During the past ten weeks, scarcely any business of public Importance has been trinsacted. Of the twenty bills which have become laws, only two can be considered of general value, the appropriation of a quarter of a million for the new capital and the act authoriting the removal of certain obstruc

tions in the Erie canal. Among the noticeable bills which are about halfway through, having passed one house, are the appropriation bill, those transferring tho appointment of notaries public from the Governor to County Judges, and the one changing the method of electing aldermen in New York city. While the committees have their work pretty well in hand, they have not thus far brought forward any proposition of general interest except the one for special investigation of the management of receivers of insolvent corporations. The colored citizens of this city will hold a memorial meeting as a token of respect-to the late Rev. Henry Highland Garnett, resident -minister to Liberia, whose death was announced from the State Department, nt Washington Inst Friday. Mr. Garnett was one of the ablest men of ids day aud was loved and respected by all. He was pastor of Shlloh Presbyterian Church, of New York city, until he was appointed Minister to Liberia by Iresldent Garfield. It is useless for me to describe the great ability of this great man. He was well known and a great advocate of his race. He was born in bondage, on the southern chores of Maryland, and was a self-made man in every senso of the word. At the M. E. Church, Sunday evening, the Rev. W. B. Derrick preached an eloquent sermon to a large congregation, taking for his text 0th verse, 137 Psalm. Subject: "Christians and their Trials." He also illustrated the condition of the heatheu Chinese and the exile Jews. There was a large collection taken up for the benefit of the pastor.. Next Sabbatli the Rev. McCoats Stewart, of New York city, will preach at the A. M. E. Church, Hamilton street. He will lecture on his late tour through the South, Monday evening. D. II. T. Cincinnati Oliio. Miss Susie Washington, of Avondale, tertained a select number of her friends enone evening of last week. Mr. Robert Stith, formerly of Avondale, will soon visit bis numerous friends and acquaintances here. Walnut Hills has a musical and dramatic organization. Th-3 revival in Rev KarlvV Church is still in progress. MissMattie Uerrv has fullv recovered from her recent strange illness. Miss. Adina White of the class of '81 is a very promising art student. Mrs. Sarah (J. Jones was at one time the Ticola" of the "LEaDER." Miss. Alice Thomas, a teacher in the Colored School in Third St. has leen compelled to quit her post because of a severe and sudden illness. A gentheman, prominent in the political world, was "bounced" at the recent meeting of the "Labor League" because he dared to ask for certain information, but the" League" failed to teach him that "when in Rome he must do as a Roman" and he swears vengeance. Miss. Consuela C. Clark, youngest daughto cur renowned scholar aud orator Prof. Peter II. Clark is at present a student in the medical department of Bostou University and a short while since was significantly complimented by the faculty of that Department because, of her culture in high art. The colored voters of Walnut Hill, are the most united body of colored men in this city and they; encrally succeed. The contribution to last weeks issue of the "American Baptist" of a paper prepared and read before the Baptist Sunday school convention recently convened in Walnut Hills, by Mrs. Sarah G. Jones was a master piece ot composition. As we enter the chamber of death, be that death the most natural, we are impressed by a feeling of deep sadness, but when a pure and good life is beaconed to a premature, end by terrible disaster, when strength of womanhood and royal determination is blasted by one fell stroke the human heart bursts almost with its load of sorrowing sympathy. Such was the death of Mrs. Sarah Xewrnan, and such is our feeling as we write the story of her tragic exit from life's serious drama. Mrs. Newman wis a victim to the explosion which took place on Friday morning of last week on board the steamer Sydney, near the site of Ravingwood, W. Va. She lived to be brought to her home in E. Seventh St. to see the dear ones whom she loved so well, to give her last words of tender admonition to her fatherless children, whom she treasnred with all a mothers devotion. Her sonowing and devoted relatives were ever around her, but never a sigh or groan of hers betrayed to them the intense agony she must have undergone; ßhe loved them and bravely bore her pains, that fhe might not cause them piercing sorrow. The sutierer lingered between life and death until Monday morning, when the hand of God withdrew the soul from the suffering mortality. Mrs. Newman leaves three promising children, Sarah, Teanie and Charlie; the latter of whom being far away from home, wrote a most touching and beautiful letter to his grandma bewailing his mothers death, and promising ever to be true to his fatherless and motherless sisters. Mrs. Newman embraced religion in her twenty first year, and became a member of Union Chapel, to which church she belonged to the day of her death. Her perfect resignation to her fate is a source ol deep joy to those who held her iar. Sarah Newman was the oldest child of Samuel and Malinda Wilson, besides her three children, her mother and five sisters survive her. Rev. Cardoza of Union Chapel performed the funeral rites over her remains at her home at one oclock Thursday in the presence of a large number of friends. Last Wednesday evening a number of gen tlemen assembled inthe parlors of Grave' restaurant, to make preparatory arrange ments, for a memorial meeting to the late Rev. Henry II. Garneit, Leonidas II. Wilson Esq. was chosen chairman and Chs. W. Bell Sec'y. A committee of five were apwinted to conier with the churches of the city concern ing the matter. Messrs Collins, Bell, Slater; Loomis, and Sam' W. Clark, composed this committee. Mr. ilson was unanimously elected r,x. uincio Chairman. .Alter some very interesting remarks were made concern ing the distinguished gentleman and soma forcibly pungent ones concerning other things the meeting adjourned. Miss Hattie Harper and brothers have re turned to the city alter having won a repu tation in the "States" as No. 1 jubilee sing ers. Jack Robinson Esq. the noted ward poli tician, was a mourner at Allen Temple this week. The many friends of Mrs. Luker will learn with regret that she is dangerously ill at her home in Crano street. The exquisite lady, . Miss Kebecca Ethington visited 'numerous friends in Fernbank last week Little Miss Susie Dunlap of New Rich mond is visiting Misses Jessie Buckner and Georgiana Hunt of Barr street.

The ladies had an air of heavenly grace. Mr. James Ru&sell is the best floor manager in the city. There were many beautiful ladies at the Montana Club's ball. We failed to see 'the welcome form of Henrv Forte,. Esq- at either of the grand dances. The leapfr tenders its sincere thanks to Mr. J. B.

It was un der the management of Messers Hargrave, White, Powell and Montgomery. Prof. W. I). Hamilton s orchestra furnished the music for the occasion and music that stirred the soul. Ja. Russel floor manager. At present the secular and sectarian ranks are at their height. Un the one hand orchestras are pouring forth their sweetest strains for merry dancers and banqueters in the great halls, and on the other hand, earnest christian prayers are resounding within the arches of the lofty churches. Notable among the grand balls given in the past week, that given by the BCR5TET HOUSE WAITERS far eclipsed any of this season, if not of all former seasons, for brilliancv and variety. The ball took place in Melodeon Hall, one of the best adapted halls in the city, for such occasions, and Cunier's Famous Orchestra lent its dulcet strains to the other gorgeous appointments. The following are the gentlemen who gave the grand ball: Messrs. Wm. Daniels, Chas. Jackson, Henry Anderson, thas. Lytle, Henry Sterritt, Robt. Saunders, Chas. Dorsey, Lou Taylor, Melvia Tarker, Barton lurner, Boston kelson, J. D Walker, Wesley Graves, Alex. Glives, E. D. Windrum, Chas. Mason, Geo. Kinley and Robt. Pearscn. As a public ball it stands unrivalled and alone in superb and elegant toilets. The programme consisted of twenty-one varied and beautiful dances and under the management of Messrs. Rus sell, Lytle and Anderson, were gracefully executed. Messrs. Allen Stanlev, D. A. Frisby and J. B. Turner, respectively first, second and third waiters at the Burnet were the originators of this grand public treat, and they deserve the encomiums ol all.

Mrs. Melville, wife of Lieutenant Mel rille, engineer of the Jeannette Exploring Expedition, has re ceived a letter from her husband, in which he speaks of De Long and the others as hav ing perished at the mouth of the Lena River, and intimates that when he sat out on the search in which he is now engaged it was without the hope of finding his comrades alive, but simply to perform the melancholy duty of discovering, if possible, their dead bodies and whatever traces of their hardships and adventures they may nave leit oeoinu mem. Washihgtoh, March 14. Secretary Hunt received a cable meassage from James Gor don Bennett at Pans as follows. I have transferred the steamer Lena to Lieuten ant Harber, aud notified him accordingly, bhe was put at my disposal by the present owner until äeDtember 1. As some reualrs will be neces sary to put her In order for the ue of the search party, win you telegraph Harber giving mm authority to take charge of the Lena on arrival at Irkutsk, undertake repairs, etc The Secretary telegraphed Harber, direct ing him to take charge of the steamer and have the necessary repairs made. The following comes from Georgia, and its accuracy is vouched for by the stenographer who took it down: Judge was noted for the way he got mixed in his charges to the Jury. Un one occasion a case was tried before him, the points, of which may be briefly stated thus: Smith brought suit against Jones upon a promissory note given foranorse. Jones' defense was failure of consideration, he averring that at the time of the purchase the horse had the glanders, of which he died, and that Smith knew it. Smith replied that the horse did not have the glanders, but the distemper, and that Jones knew it when he bought it, The Judge then charged the Jury. ' Gentlemen of the Jury, pay attention to the charge of the Court! ou have-already made one mistrial of this case because you did not pay attention to the charge ot the Court, and i don i want you to do it again. I intend to make it so clear to you that you can not possibly make any mistake. This suit is on a note given tor a promissory horse. 1 hope you understand that Now, if at the time of the sale Smith had the glanders, and Jones knew it, Jones can not recover. This is clear, gentlemen. I will state it again. If you find at the time of the sale Jones had the distemper, and Smith knew it, then Smith can not recover. But, gentlemen, will state it a third time, so that you can not possibly make a mistake. If at the time of the sale Smith had the glanders, and Jones had the distemper, and the horse knew it, then neither Smith, Jones nor the horse can recover. Let the record be given to the Jury. A writer in a Chicago paper says: "Can young man marry on -a salary of $2,000 a f ear." A great many of them marry on ess than $200 a year, but their wives make shirts tor seventy-five cents a dozen.

Now is the hour ox opportunity, ana ot power. too. When the majestic uprising of the peopi, irrespective of party or sect, is answered by the nationally-paid Legislature of Utah by the impudent claim for admission into the Union ss a State, who should hesitate in sucstituung a na tional Commission there for such an insolent und defiant Legislature of law breaker?

Ilo'man, who was the first speaker of the evening, was introduced to the audience, and spoke as follows: JUDGE HOLMAN8 SFEECn. Centuries before the advent of the Savior of mankind, the clvil'zed Nations of the earth passed judgment ou an institution ot barbarism which stood in ine pathway 01 advancement, aua were was a conviction. The offender seems to have escaped the execution of the sentence, and to have gone ttalking up and down, Btoppin? here a little while, and there a little while, and living on and on. as he Wandering Jew of romance, until, wltiiln our own day, ft emd-ged from the Eanctuary walls of the Mormon Church, it wts neavy witn ag, ana hideous In Its deformities, but threatening and defiant. We are slow to recognize the monster. ' The rolllnpr ou of ages had left change so deeply marked in their track, that there remained but a dim memory of the form and linenrrf nts cf the giant evil before us. But we have identified it. The great hand of the Nation has rt ac'ied out a:id clutched it by the throat, and the process of strangulation Is now proing on. e hf ar the grotms and blasphemy of dissolution cimlrg ovr tbe massive mountain ranges of the West, and from the utter audiude-critab!e foulness o the carcass, we know this thing to be polygamy. The sentence of Christian and fair play loving America the laud of generous mai hood and pure womanhood, of wedded lathers and honored mothers is being executed. There is to bo no mora delay; there is no longer occasion or the pretense of excuse for it. The tribunal of American public opinion, than which a more terrible as well as just has not been known in history, btfore which this horrible thing shakes on its tottering limbs. Cries out. In the intensity of its indignation, and commands that the full penalty frhall follow promptly and inexorably uon the condemnation. And there is to tw no ne w heailug. The civilized world has to day no advocate so ambitious for fame or so . enthu'siabtlc in hii seal as to apply for a new trial. The nostrils of the people are stopped against tho snfT-cating moral stench, and 1'. must be removeJ that they may breathe. The thing which to-day Ihey hold In their grasp seems as ur endurable as the body ef death upon the shoulders of tbe ancient crimi nal, and they hasten to get rid of it. The mass is nutrid. and most be put teyond s eht and mem orr. ine uemauu is ior annioiiauoü. aou me notification of It to Congress has been and is be ing sent in unmistakable terms lrom the millions of order-loving men to whom our fair laud was riven for a possession. But when society hangs a man for his offense, it snows that the execution of Us judgment, as wen

as the crime, has consequence, and it Is careful to

consiaer results, bo, to day, with the institution of polygamy, condemned by the public Judgment to be out out. body and roots, from the ide of this fair Nation, the question Is unsolved, what are we to do with the victims? You may cure a man of the smallpox, but you must have a care for his old linen, and must see to it that his nur-es and attendants do not rive off the perms of the disease. It matters not whether udgments are rendered by the Court or v. the popular voice thev are unavailine if they go uii accompanied by punishment, and to adequately and justly chastise is oftentimes not less difficult than to adjudge the guilt. 80. tbe sentence in this cai-e must be gravely considered. Tbe difficulty of the problem la very great indeed, and it must tax the very best minds in the National Legislature. Polygamy, as an Institution, Btands condemned by the judgment c t the whole civilized world, as well as by the now irreiltlble will of the American people, and one mav treat it as no more. But what is to be the result of this extinction of the institution? We look at a man's surroundings and connections when we proceed to fit the measure ef his punishment. Has he a father or mother? wife or child? Are they provided for, or will they suffer if he is taken from them? What is the best thing for the State under all the circumstances of the cae? Now, accordiag to my information, there are more than 3,000 men in Utah who practice polygamy in their daily lives, and there are about lo.üuo women who have been welded to the infamy In les-s than twenty-five years. There are 40,Otio school children, I think. But the exact statistics are unimportant; it is enough to know that feminine helplessness and childhood's innocence aud irresponsibility cry out In challenge of our sympathy not only, but of our protection. It will not do to ay "Polygamy must go." and thereupon sweep down into the sea the deluded and the blameless along with the guilty swine. To care for the wives and little ones must be no less sacred a duty ol Congress to the country than to adequately dispose of the real criminals, and that body should patiently and thoroughly discharge it through the medium of its best talent and ripest experienced Under the Constitution it has practically sovereign power over the Territory of Utah. It can legislate as fully and freely concerning the interests of that district as can the General Assembly of this State upon the affairs of Marlon iv.unty. What the Congressional action shall be in its details, is not a subject admitting dig cushion here, and not, as I understand It, within the objects of this gathering. Let it be enough for Congress to know that the great-hearted people of America, who led th black man by the haud as he emerged from his Southern bondage into the trying scens of his new-found freedom, and sustained him with food and raiment until he prospered whose philanthropy quickens at the coming of fire and pestilence and inundation demand that these prospective wards of the country shall be cared for in paternal kindliness of tpiiit. and that if the heavy and crushing burden of their misfortunes may not be thrown down through the fiction of tbe law, it may be lightened to the utmost. I have no caro for the men. They stand as felons before the law-abiding people ol this land, and their offense has been deliberate and fearful indeed. Let it be understood of them that as crimiaals absolutely unexcused they stand beyond the reach of the mercy of the law. I do not speak thus of all the Mormons. Of the members of that Church we can not complain, under the law of the laud, so long as the element of good faith marks their religious observances, and their overt acts are not in the face of social order and the public good. But the polygamista c f Utah, the so-called husbands, are men of meat. a and acuteness. They are universally. In short, men who know better, and who indulge their sensuality la grim and persistent defiance of tbe law of Congress and the moral sense of all good people. They are guilty In the fullest sense, and their fate nee not concern us If Congress shall so order as that they shall everyone speedily be prosecuted aud condemned, and their estates shall be conn seated for the benefit of their victims, and themselves be cast out of tbe land, I believe that the sentiment of the Nation would be unanimous against-any interference with such a result of their evil careers. They have brought degradation upon womanhood, and, though their lives and estates should expiate their crimes, they must still leave behind them as thtir Intolerable work the downcast eye and. the blush of 6hame. ' They have instilled into the minds of little children pernicious views of life and its obligations, which death alone can dissolve, and which years will but little obscure. They have ruthlessly hidden, booted and spurred. Into the temples of purity and fa teilt d upon their captives an awful slavery. To the maidin they gave concubinage, to tbe offspring only the heritage of derision. In the light of the sun of to day's civilization they stand black aud hide us in their depravi;-. iJtt tVom, like tbe m-.n without a ountry, go down to tie vile depths from wfcfrce they sprang, xi'.iwept,unhonred and unsung, and, in mfrcy to their victims only, let the curtain of oblivion cover them from the sight and mein ry of men. We want It known that iu America the day of chattel property in humai. beings closed with tbe War; that we are now e; sage! in tbe holy and patriotic work of lifting women up; that there is no retreat so isolated throughout our broad domain as that it may f n ish sarctuary for tbe heathen apologists of this institution. We want it known that lu Am?ric.i the lullaby and cradle song shall be sung only by wedded mothers, and under the lime roof that shelters but one man and one woman. Rev. W. A. Bartlett was next introduced and made one of his happiest efforts. His remarks, thougU quite lengthy, contained many good points and were listened to with undivided attention by all present. Governor Baker offered the following resolutions, which were adopted: Resolved, As the sense of this meeting that, 1. Polvgamy Is un-American, as well as crimlral, and its punishment and suppression are clearly within the legitimate province of civil government. 2. Mormonism, separate and apart from polygamy, has a right to the same full measure of protection that is accorded to other religions, but the mantle of a religious organization can no more be permitted to give Impunity to polygamy than it can to Infanticide or any other crime. 3. Neither the National nor the Stete Government must interfere with tbe people in matters of religion, either as to faith er worship, but no ecclesiastical order or organization shall be permitted to interfere with or obstruct the operations of civil government, cither In the definition or the punishment of crime. 4. Polygamy, assuming the garb of religion, defies the Government in one of tbe Territories of the United States, and it is manifest If it could get similar control of a State in the Union, its suppression without civil wsr would be hopele, therefore the institution should by outlawed by an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. 5. The Congress of the United StaUs deserves the commendation of the people for the passage of the anti-polygamy bill, tbe same having Jiassed the House of Representatives since the call or this meeting was issued. When the same shall have become a law by the approval of tbe President, as it doubtless will, the Government should receive a cordial and united support In its temperate but firm enforcement W. M. "Wallace recapitulated what the other speakers hadsaia in an eloquent and feeling manner, alter which the meeting adjourned. Adelaide, South Australia, January 24, 1882. The heat has been intense, up to 115 degrees in the shade.

MISS HERMANN'S FAST

fermlnat. In Hrr Prath Wednesday Sixty-Two Days Without a Mo'sel of Food. Jeftersosville, lud., March 16. Miss Annie Marie Hermann, who was tent from this city to the County Poor Asylum sixtytwo days ao, died in that institution yesterday of starvation. Miss Hermann was a lady of suienor intelligence, a native ofGermany, and for a time taught the language in this city to a few young ladies. Onelayiii "Jniiuary last the suddenly became violently insane and was arrested. She requested tbe arresting officer to kill her, as she desired to go to Heaven without delay. When this was refused her she determined to die by Etarvirs; herself. She was sent to the insane department of the Clark County Poor. Asylum, near Charlestown. The visiting physician and Superintendent u.-ed eery effort in their power to induce her to partake of food, but to no purpose. One day fchortly after her arrival at the Asylum she ate a ortion of an apple,: but since that time "the Superintendent avers that the (rtook of no food whatever. She would drink a little water once a day for awhile, but lately had been nnable to retain wa'er on her Moniaeh. Many jersons have doubte i the statement of Superintendent Daldick to the effect that bhe bad farted during the time stated, but as he was a respectable and truthful gentleman, his statement can not be successfully contradicted. He said to a reporter, "1 am certain she has net taken a drop of water or a moriel of food without my knowledge. Frequently we would place food beside her at night and it would remain undisturbed. Sometimes we would put eome nourishment in water, but she would pit it out as soon as it touched her lips. She wouid d ink nothing but pure water, and. I am positive that during the sixty-two days she remained in the Asylum nothing was given her but what I have stated." For two weeks past Miss Herman has bsengreat'y reduced instrength, but retained ner senses up to the last. She conversed intelligently on Tuesday, and when the doctor called to pee her she remarked: "I did not send for you, and, as you are intruding, I wish you would retire.' From a very stout person weighing more than 200 pounds she was reduced to about eighty, and the little flesh which clung to her bones was almost mortified, having turned blue in the last few days. Hundreds of persons have called at the Asylum to see her, many of them living far away. It is probably the longest fast ever acc jmplbhed by any person in this country. She wa fifty-four years of age. Call for Itonds. Wabhixgton, March 14.

Remshaw had with him when searched in Jail two navy revolvers, one single barrel revolver and one repeater, dirk, cleaver and a bottle of chloriform, with about thirty rounds of cartridges.

One jumped, the car striking the other, who was thrown into the stream. Pyett and three Mexicans were instantly killed, the balance fatally injured. There is no need of inventing ftories about children; they are equal to the originality any day. 'Do you think, mamma,'' said a little one, "that Uncle Reuben is a good man?" ""Why, my child, he is the best of all my brothers, and an excellent man." "And will he go to Heaven?" "I think to, my child. Why do tou askr "Ob, noth ing much,'' replied the child, wakirg from a sort of reverie; "I was thinking what a homely angel ho'd make, thtt's all."
