TOUCHING SCENE.

The New York Commercial says:-
ave attended the funeral of neighbor
yesterday afternoon, where the deceased
had died after very short illness, leav-
ing widow and three or four young
children. Just as the coffin was lifted
by the porters, to be carried to the place
of interment, one of the little innocents
exclaimed in a most pathetic tone
Mamma, where are they going to carry
papa!' We leave it to a fond parent,
and an endeared companion in life, to es-
innate the feelings that must have perya-
ded the heart of the widow and mother. >

Somerset, March 1916.
LATE FROM MEXICO.

We have been favored with letter re-
ceived In this city last night, from which
we learn that the United States brig Law
renee arrived at Pensacola on the eve
ming Of the Ist instant, in thirteen days
from Vera Ceuz, with dispatches for the
Secretary of State from Mr.. SLIDELL and
Commodore CONNER.
Up to the time of the sailing of the
Lawrence (about lhe 18th ultimo) Mr..
Slidell had not been received by the au-
tho rites of Mexico, and the letter says
that it is supposed he will return 10 the
United States as soon as he re-
ceives answers 10 the dispatches which
he has now forwarded.
This letter also states that the citizens
Of Vera Cruz were looking out and no.
ping for the return of SANTA ANNA. from
Havana; whose arrival was expected to
be the signal for the authorities of Vera
Cruz to declare in his favor.
No other news had transpired. The
dispatches for the Secretary of State are
said TO be very voluminous.
The sloops of war Falmouth John
Adams and 81 JMary's and the brig Por-
poise, were all at Vera Cruz. The
steamer Mississippi and brig Son,ers
were at Pensacola, the latter to sail for
Vera Cruz on the afternoon of the I'd in
stant.-Nat. Intel.

Riots In Montreal and Quebec.

A correspondent of 1.-The N. Y. Com
mercial writes from Montreal, under date
of the 2nd inst, sour annual ward
elections for city councillors are held to
day, and in one of the wards (the ST.
Lawrence) some serious rioting took
place this morning; the conflicting par
ties were, as usual, those of Irish extrac-
ton, opposed to the English and Scotch.
Fire arms were freely discharged, and the
Mayor Of the city, who was one of the
candidates, was compelled to make his
escape through a back window of the
polling place and ride off for the military
who speedily cleared the groud, and re-
stored something like order. Fortunate
ly the military were not called upon TO
fire. The combatants were armed with
axe handles-weapons by no means to
be despised when skilfully used. One
man was reported shot, but it was a mis-
take.
One of the proprietors of the Times
newspaper, of this city, a conservative
journal, was attacked during the melee,
in his sleigh, and severely wounded in
the head, and otherwise i'll treated. Two

From SANTA FE.-1'he independence
(Missouri) Expositor of the 7th ult. no.
tees the arrival at that place of another
company of traders from Santa Fe. They
left Shihuahua on the 1st OF December
and Santa F'e on the lst of January, per-
forming the latter trip in thirty-four days.
They brought with them about $4,000,
the most of which is said to have been
forwarded by residents of New Mexico
to meet their Indebtedness in Eastern
cities. This adventure is regarded as
testing the practicability of making this
journey at any season of the year. They
carried provender sufficientfor their mules.
On the route they experienced but one
snow-storm; otherwise, the weather was
favorable, but little cold.

Township Elections.

We are requested by the Clerk TO the
County Commissioners to state for the
information of election officers, that the
township elections will be held on Friday
the goth inst. and not on the 2lst, as
would appear from some of the blank e
lection papers. Those interested will
therefore note this fact, and correct the
date on their return and tally papers ac-
cordingly.

Mad Dogs!

We learn that one day last week a mad
dog passed along the turnpike east of this
place, and that several dogs are known to
have been bitten by him. The owners
very properly had them killed, immedi-
ately. Persons in the neighborhood
should be on the watch, as it is possible
that other dogs have been bitten.
