Timothy, brother of the celebrated pugilist, John
C. Heenan, was shot on the 11th Juno in a drinking
saloon, corner of Fifth and Spruce-streets, Philadelphia,

by Jerry Eaton. Heenan belonged to the Revenue De-
partment, and was active in his duties, and the murder
appears to have been premeditated, as Eaton, who was
accompanied by others, after the altercation left the house

and took up a position on the other side of the street, and
ffeenan was shot when in the door-way, ono of the balls

taking effect in his stomach. His brother John was with
him when ho died in the Penn:ylva,nia, Hospital on the

.4th, and he was buried on the 17th June in the Cathedral

Cemet3ry, Philadelphia.
On the 16th of June Pius IX. commenced the
twenty-third year of hii Pontifical reign. Sinco St.

Peter, to whom history assigns twenty-five years, there
have been bat three Popes oat of 238 who have lived to

connuoaco or to finish their twenty-third year of govern-
ment. They are—Adrian L, the Pope of Charlornagne ;

Pius V.l„the Pope of the Directory; and Pins VII., the

Pope of Napoleon I. Pius IX. will be the fourth.

dves until June 16, 1869, he will stand alone with Pius VI, ;
if ho lives till June 16, 1370, ho will be matched only by
St. Peter; but if ho survives Juno 16, 1871, he will have

outdone not only all preceding Popes, but St. Pater him-
elf.—Glasgow Daily Herald.
Wendell Phillips does not approve of the ap-
pointment of Reverdy Johnson as Minister to England.
Butler calls him "a white-washed Maryland rebel," and
Wendell Phillips " a Maryland go-between." "We warn

our British cousins," the latter says, " that he represents
only the burglars who have got possession of the house
for the moment; and he only represents the dastard

city which murderod Massachusetts soldiers in 1861, and
then slunk, like a whipped spaniel, at the heels of our

Massachusetts soldier, who, if he conquered nowhere else,
did certainly throttle Maryland with his left hand and hold
New Orleans in his right. Mr. Reverdy Johnson repro

sents Woolley, Snook, Mrs. Cobb, Wood, Chase, and, in

part, a timid and disheartened Senate. In the name of

Antietam, and the 19th of April, 1861, we aver that no
rebel-hearted Senator from a conquered and still treacher-

ous State can represent the American people. His con-
firmation, born in the eclipse and rigged with curses

;trk, only marks low tido in Senatorial instinct and
tonour."

A young farm-T, named Joseph Le Clerc, ha..

been carrying on a pretty game in the woods near the
Noir River, Lower Canada. lie was absent for days, and on
his return, told a story which converted the sinner into a
saint among his pious Catholic countrymen. He had been lost
in the forests, and he prayed to his patron saint, when a tali
lady very white and very beautiful appeared with fresh
supplies of food. At night she flew like a dove with a large
quilt in, which she wrapped him, and he eventually sue-
ceeded'in finding apath out of the woods. Why the lady flevt
like a dove did not throw the pious farmer into the bosom
of his family is not explained, nor can we poor mortals
divine the reasons for the acts of such celestial messengers,
and must be c3nteut to accept Le C lore's story as he tells it
William Herring, son of Silas C. Herring, the
Safe man, attempted to shoot J. Weeks, proprietor of the
Nassawauno Hotel, in Palmer, Saturday afternoon, Juno
13. A dispute about a horse which he (Herring) had hired
from Mr. Weeks led to the attack. The ball passed be-
tween Mr. Weeks' right arm and body without inflicting
any wound. Herring has not been arrested. We wish
the son was as "safe" as the father.
Mr. Longfellow, who has been staying at Lea-
mington, paid a visit on Wednesday last to Stratford-on-
Avon. Ho was accompanied by his daughter, and was
conducted by Mr. E. F. Flower to those spots connected
with Shakspere's memory. His familiar poem, "The Old
Clock on the Stairs," was penned after a summer sojourn
at the old mansion house of Nathan Appleton, the poet's
father-in-law, in Pittsfield.
Mr. Y. Z. Adams declines the nomination threat-
ened on his behalf for the Vice-Presidency, saying--" I
feel that the accident of birth has thrust me upon the
public attention before my time."

Rev. Dr. Barnas Sears, the general agent of the
Peabody Southern Educational Fund, presented to the
trustees of the half-yearly meeting iu New York a detailed
report of his operations for the last six months, in which
time he has travelled through all the Southern States ex-
cept Texas, and met everywhere a cordial re-
ception from all classes of the people. In soene
cities he was received with distinguished honour,
and the spirit and temper of the Southern people,
seem to bo exceedingly favourable and friendly towards
the work which he represents. The efforts so far have
been mainly preliminary and in the way of preparation
for the more effectual and economical expenditure of Mr.
Peabody's benefaction, and the prospects of the enterprise
are amply encouraging
At the forthcoming (Ecumenical Council, to be
convened by Pope Pius IX., America will be, for the first
tim,, represented by her bishops in a general authoritative
assembly of the prelates of the Roman Catholic Church
throughout the world.
The Labour Exchange in San Francisco continues
to work most satisfactorily. During the week ending May
lee 400 men obtaiued employment through the aid of this
association-3f whom 172 were labourers, 44 farm hands,
16 teamsters, 23 lumbermen, and 143 other trades. The
wages generally offered for country labourers is about $3O
per month and board ; for harvest work, $lO to $5O and
found ; artisans from $3 to $t per day—ell in gold. Farm-
ing help for the interior is much sought for, and the supply
of able-bodied men for such work is deficient.
The Transcript thus sketches the way in which
to fete the Chinese Embassy at Boston:—" The Chinese
Embassy will be received in this city in a manner worthy
of the metropolis of New England. They will be escorted
from Cottage Farm Station by tha military. Among
other festivities contemplated is an elegant dinner at the
St. James, a concert by the children of the public schools
and perhaps an excursion down the harbour."
Mr. James B. Rumrill, wife, and daughter, have
returned to Springfield from Europe, the ladies having
been absent two years, and Mr. Rumrill since last fall.
Tho German steamer for Bremen lately took out among
her passengers from New York Mrs Dr. Austin Flint,
formerly of Springfield and Northampton, her daughters,
Mrs. Sheverick and Mrs. Isham, and the two daughters of
Mr. Erastus Hopkins,e3f Northampton, all of whom pur-
pose a residence of two or three years in Leipsic.
If " Eb" Washburne be elected for Illinois—he
has been re-nominated—this will be his twentieth year of
Congressional life. He is the Joseph Hume of America,
the bulldog of the Treasury, and even the vile squabble in
which he lately took part originated in his efforts to ex-
pose and counteract a job.
The $lOO prize offered by Dr. Jacob Bigelow
through the Massachusetts Medical Society, last year, for
the best essay on the share of nature and time in the cure
of diseases, called forth three, among those sent in, equally
worthy of the award. The donor accordingly authorised
three such prizes, which were given to Dr. Robert T. Edes
of Hingham, Dr. James F. Hibbard of Richmond, Ind.,
and Dr. John Spare of New Bedford.
Thurlow Weed is, it is said, about to proceed to
Europe.
To say the least, it is passing strange that Vinnie
Ream and her statue of Lincoln should be the victims of
Impeachment. After Butler had been storming and blus-
tering for months, bad it not been for Vinnie Ream be
would have done nothing more than he did at Fort Fisher
except to waste valuable time. Considering that the
mountain has so long been in labour, tho result may truly
be described as the birth of a mouse. After all the great
doings at the Capitol, while the Senate listened to the
exaggerated eloquence of the first lawyers in the Union,
while fierce debates followed on questions propounded,
and the Government at Washington was supposed to be
passing through a revolution, the result is that Vinnie
Ream is expelled. Some how or another the valiant
Butler, when he lets himself down, always drops on the
head of an unfortunate woman.
I ADVERTISEMENT. J—Holloway's Ointment and Pills are
unfeignedly the remedies upon which all may rely who are
suffering from diseases of the skin, scrofula, scurvy, ulce-
rations, and bad legs. When the warmth of the weather
determines unduly blood to the skin all these complaints
assume a worse appearance, and their symptoms become
more harassing unless Hollowa's ointment be aplied te„
check increasing inflammation y
and to soothe thep excitea
nerves. No knowledge beyond that contained in the
" directions for use" is required for using this cooling and
healing unguent, which always acts beneficially. Thee-
sands afflicted with bad legs who were slowly sinking
under their sufferings have been rescued from their peril-
ous position (after all curative means seemed powerless) by
persevering with Holloway's medicaments.
