HARRIsoN's ToAB.--A friend Of the
editors ofthe Labauon Star writes them,
from North Bend, that he is engaged in
preparing the mound or burial place Cor
the reception of the body Of President
Harrison. He describes it as a very
elevated spot, short distance west Of the
dwelling house, and opposite the month
of the tunnel Of the Whitewater canal
This spot is conspicuous from the ONO
river, ana IS perhaps the best that could
have been chosen. A vault is being built
upon It, and il is to be enclosed with a
| plain, though neat and substantial fence

ter appropriately says, with the life and
character ofhim who IS to reposo within

growth have been left upon the mound, t

of great beauty. Such itshould have; 70
it will be a pilgrim spot ia this country

Mrs. GENERAL HARRIsoS.-As this lady is soor
expected to occupy 'the White House" at Washing
ton, any thing relating to her history will be crafty
ing to the public
After the severe and desperate battle of the Miami
in 1884, says the Journal of Commerce, Gen. Wayne
went to the Atlantic States leaving Captain Harrison
in command of Fort Washington, now Cincinnati
The next year Captain Harrison married the daugh-
ter of Judge John Cleve Symes-who was born at
Rlverhead Long Island, and removed in early life to
New Jersey, where he married the daughter of Gov.
William Livingston, and soon after one of the
Associate Judges Of the Supreme Court of that State
In 1877 he became proprietor Of the Miami purchase"
of near million oacres and removed to that ntry
Mrs Harrison educated at East Hampton,
Long Island, and when young was esteemed lady Of
great personal and mental accomplishments. A writer
for the National Portrait Gallery for 1896 thus speaks
of her "She is distinguished for her benev ocnce and
piety and all who know her, view her with esteem
and affection. Her whole course through life in all
ITS relations has been characterized by those qualf
cations that complete the character Of an accomplish
ed matron. N u Times.

The SPEAKER stated that he had received COM
munication from MIR. Stanly asking to be excused
from further service the Committee of Expenditures

Mr.. STANLY excused accordingly, and or
der was passed for the appointment of member in

him of his election President Of the United States
Mr. Preston is of the committee the part Of the
Senate
Mr.. EVERETT introduced resolutions of the Ge-
neral Assembly of Vermont that the exclusion Of d
members duly commissioned by the Governor Of New
Jersey from participating in the organization of this
House, and the subsequent proceedings thereof and
the substitution in their places of five other persons
who were not commissioned, without trial Of the

an indignty TO the authorities Of New Jersey--was

The Homcrc lines elected by the scene in tn
House, between the venerable ex-President and Nj
Wise are conectured to be from the classic pen
Mr.. Slansbury:-Rch Whig.
On the Scene bet,oeen Mr.. Adams and Mr. Wise
As awful Jove, from great Olympus height,
Beholds, on Troys red plain, the Gods at fight,
And, loud implored refuses to decide
The wavering victory TO either side
So mighty CASEY, from his crimson sky
Looks down serene and with impartial eye
Views, far below, the dust, and strife and rage,
And deadly closing shock of Youth and Age.
Youth, headlong, swift, but generous in its ire,
Strait rushes to its mark, like Heav'n's own fire;
Age, slow, relentless, takes its murderous aim,
And burns unquenchablc like Hes black flame
But lol the force of bonors sacred tie
To chain the arm that rage had reared on high
Touched by his waning strength his silver hair,
His years-his honors past, bis reverend air
Youth midway checks his fury's hot career,
And his eye glistens with the sudden tear;
Down drops his useless blade; he folds his hands,
And sclf,disarmed bright Honor's captive stands
Admirng gods admirng men, behold;
Earth can no more, nor Heav'n its plauds hold
Round the glad skcst the gathering thunders; roll,
While answering shoutss return from either pole
CASEY was in the chair The galleries.

EXPLORING EXPEDITION.

Extract Of letter from officer attached to the
Expedition, to his friend in this CITY, dated at Oahu,
Sandwich Islands, 18th Oct. 1910.
You may have heard Of the Malo massacre and
punishment--I now add word in explanation. While
in survey of the isle of the officers Lieutenant
UNDERWOOD and Midshipman Henry, landed from
Of the boats to buy provisions, when the natives
attacked and murdered them The following day
Lieut. Comd tRINGGoLD in the Porpoise came in from
outside landed with sixty men, and met the natives al
the threshold. They were strongly incosed in an in
geniousy constructed ot perhaps exists any where
being almost entirely mpervious to musket ball. and
defended themselves against attack with fire arms,
bows, spears, clubs and arrows. We were too much
for them, however and after killing two chiefs and
many natives they fled The town and fort soon
after burned and then proceeded and laid waste the Isle
The next day peace was concluded. The officers
murdered were exceedingly fine young men, and the
event cast gloom all joys raised by the
cessful termination Of the survey.
Since leaving Sydney, nine months ago, we have
been but few days in port yet all are well and not
case of sickness Of any kind, much less scurvy. -
