priest Of Camargo, on horseback, dashed in be-
hind him. His reverence lost his balance and
was preeipitated into the river, when addressing
the brave General, he exclaimed, "Help me,
general-help me or drown!" 'Drown and
be id" said the General, "don't you see
those Yankee yelling hell-hounds close behind
US" This is the literal Interpretation Of the
Generals pious reply.
When the "brave" General Ampuda reach

Some of the toasts given at the dinner in
Arista's Head. Quarters, were drank with excel
lent wine, which had formerly been served at
Arista' IS own table, and as a cockney would say,
very good wine it was.
When Ampudia arrived in Matamoros, on
meeting Captains Thornton, Hardee and Kane,
to convince them that although not wounded
himself, he had been in the thlckest of the fight,
he exhibited the marks of some shot which had
struck the back part of his saddle. When he
retired the officers remarked that the balls must
have struck while he was retreating as they
seemed to have come directly in his rear

river boatmen so many licks back
During the bombardment of Fort Brown
there was woman in the Fort, the wife of one
of the prvates, who regularly and attentvely
the whole time, piled the men at the guns with
coffee and other refreshments, while they piled
the Mexicans with shot. She gave Uncle
Sans boys gunpowder (tea) while they helped
the Mexicans to some grape. Where the shot
flew the thckest there was she; and she fire.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR." Mother Murdered by
her Son. A young man named James Fields,
is in Jail in Leavenworth county, Ind, charged
with the murder OF his own mother. The Ban
ner says:
The fend in human shape had taken his
mother to support-to live with him,-he to
prov ide, she TO do the house work. Thus they
lived until the old lady's health became so i'm
paired that she was scarcely able to leave her
bed, when one day, (Sunday, June 7th,) he
came in and ordered her out of bed to get him
some dinner, "and be damn quick about it, for
he was going to shoot her." The old lady O.
beyed the injuncton; and whilst she was bend
ing over the fire preparing his meal, he took the
barrel off pistol loaded with powder and ball,
and with coal offre he set it off-the ball
took effect in the upper part of the thigh, and
ranged through into the abdomen. She fell
bleeding on the floor, where she lay while this
demon and murderer endeavored to stop the
blood by filling the wound with tow and salt,
and washing her with cold water and spirits
lie then let her lay till the next day noon hid
in his bed behind blanket, which hung be-
tween her and himself, that his eyes need not
meet the dying and suppliOating looks of the
mother. On Monday she became SO much
worse he called in the neighbors. AS they came
he fled; but justice pursued and overlook him,
and he is now i'll custody awaiting his trial at
our next District Court.

THE ODD FELLOWS AND CHArLAINs. The
Philadelphia Eagle says, that the Grand Lodge
ofthe |. o. ofO. F. of Pennsylvania, at one of
its late communications, to prevent, as far as
possible, sectarian jealousies from creeping into
the Order, decided against the election or ap-
pointment ola permanent or standing Chaplain
in thatbody ,or in any ofits subordinate Lodges.
While, however, the Grand Lodge has thought
proper to decide as above, it has reserved to il
the right, and delegated the same to its sub
ordnates, of appointing, from time to time,
any clerical brother, in good standing in the
Order, Chaplain, for funeral aud other partcu-
lar occasions, such as the laying ofcorncr stones
of public buildings, dedication of halls, Sc.

an immense tract Of land, to which the Indian

SELF-ADJusTING RAIL ROAD BREAK. Mr..
Edwin Thayer, of Chatham, Columbia county,
~ Y, has invented SelEAdjusting Break, by
means of which it is believed that collisions
upon Rail Roads may be entirely obvated,--
This invention places the whole train under
the immediate control of the Engineer, who,
by touching lever breaks the speed of each
car Many accidents occur suddenly before
the Breakmcn can get to their stations. Mr..
Thayer's plan according to the Albany Jour
naI by arresting the whole train Simultaneous
ly, prevents the crushing of cars by running
into each other

in Philadelphia last week, of which rs wcle
from cholera infantum, disease which is
very prevalent at present throughout the coun-
try; the deaths from it in Baltimore last week
being more than one-fourth the whole number,

tent among grown persons.

VALUE OF ANTHRACITE Coal ASHES. We
see it stated that ashes from anthracite coal
were applied on the grass lands in New Jersey
last spring, at the rate of fifty bushels per
acre, and notwithstanding the unprecedented
drought, they were the means of doubling the
crop of grass. As there are more or less hard
cnders in these ashes, after spreading them on
the grass lands, it would be we'll to pass roll
Ter over the meadow in order to sink the Gin
ders in the ground, out of the way of the edge
of the seythe.

CROPS IN DELAWARE. The Delaware Re-
publican says:
''Our farmers are now in the midst of gath
ering their wheat, which is not so heavy as was
anticipated. A gentleman in Brandywine
Hundred informs us that his crop has not been
so light as it is the present season since the gem
eral failure of the wheat crop in 1899. BY a
gentleman from Christiana, we learn, that the
cropis not heavy, but he gives his opinion that
there will be full half crop"
