We have some rather more direct information,
which we derive from various sources, of the fact
mentioned above. Hooe did not return TO the spo'
until morning, whore life still fingered in his unfor-
tunate victim, who, on the approach of Hooe, fer
ven,ly implored him for mercy, demonstrating that
he had taken his money, which was all that could
be useful TO him. Hooe invalnerable TO his
appeal, replying, with oath, that one OF them
had TO die, and that it should be him (Simpson)
He then despatched the unfortunate man with 4
club and followed this act up with abou, SEVENTEEN
wounds from his pistol dagger ten of which were
inflicted in the neck. The circumstance of but
little blood having flowed from the wounds, which
has occasioned murh surprise, is accounted for in
their not having been given until after the body was
dead Alexandria Herald

DANIEL. WEBSTER,

In the House of Representative on Friday
last, in Committee of the Whole on the
state of the Union, Mr.. IFedS:er made a
most able and eloquent speech in favor of
the mission to Panama.
His observations, throughout, were char
acterized by that vgour of thought and that
nervous felicity of expression, which are SO
peculiar to this distinguished individual; but
it was towards the close when, warmed with
his subject, the orator quickened into more
stirring and lofty style of eloquence, that he
seemed to exercise power over the physical
and moral facukies of the House, which has.
perhaps, been seldom exceeded in any le-
gislative assembly. If there be any truth in
opposed to the measure, felt themselves
exalted in having such noble adversary
to encounter.
Surgical oheration.-In the 18th number
of the New York Medical and Physical Jour-
nal, DIR. David l.. Rogers has reported an
important and interesting case OF epilepsy, OF
fourteen yeas standing cured by the opera
tion of trepannng.
The subject of the case was Mr.. D., aged
46 years, who had labored under fits of ep-
ilepsy for the previous IA years. "For the
last ten" says the report, "they have occurr-
ed so frequently as to disqualify him for la
bour Of any kind, and they have gradually
increased in frequency and violence. From
their long continuance his mind is much i'm
paired, and he is fast approaching to state
of idiotism." 1t appears that he had receiv-
ed blow on the head, some lime previous
to these fits, which fractured mis- skull. DR.
Rogers coLceiving this to be the cause ot
the fits, recommended an operation for hi,
relief; aud accordingly ON the 5th of Feb
1926, assisted by Professor Mott and Dr.
King, he removed the injured portion ofbone
by the application of the trephine, and found
a shicuia of bone projecting into the brain

Fall ofthe Castle Of cailao.-The event,
which has been looked FOR with so much So
lictude, through South America for many
months past, has at last taken place. The
Castle of Callao has surrendered, and with
it the Spanish monarchy has lost its last hold
upon the continent This information has
been received at Baltimore, by a vessel in
twenty three days from Carthagena. The
Spanish governor surrendered, and the
troops under the command of Gen. Salon
took possession Of the Castle on the 23d of
January.

1t will be seen by our report of the pro
ceedings of the two Houses, says the Ma
tional Journal, that Congress have finally
determined to close the present session Oh
Monday the 22d of May. Some efforts were
made in the House to prevent this decision,
which falls with as chilling an effect on the
blossoms of oratory, just putting forth and
promising fruit, as the frost of an Apn
morning falls on the opening buds in the
realm of nature. The result Of this deter
mination VIII be to turn the disposition q
members into business channel, and TO put
an end to the practice of speaking for effect
There are nearly two hundred private bills
on the docket, many Of which, in strict jus
tice, should be acted on, involving claims
which equity and humanity alike ask toi

some will be also driven over to the nest

glous mass of business, that we should ~
be surprised if nearly all the important "
