A Lucky EScape.-Some three weeks ago,
a subject was bro1ght in a bag to the Medi.
cal College at Cleveland during the darkness
Of tho evening, and the Professors of Anato-
my parceiving by a hasty examination that it
was a, rood subject paid the usual price Of
thirty d1Ilars, tied up the bag and directed it
TO be placed in the dissecting room, promising
the students that it should b. carved up for
their edjtication within a day or two at far
thest.
Daring the lecture on the next morning a
tremendous noise was heard from the region
Of Ibis dissecling room and some Of the more
timid students grew pale with terror, imlr-
ming that the gh ,sts OF The butcbered subjects
were appearing To take vengeance upon them,
or else holding their direfui orgies over the
remains Of Their new corarade. The clanor
still increasing, s0me Of the boIder ones ven.
tured to enter tile room when 10 the bag
containing the purchase Of the last evening
was pitching and rolling about, aud from it.

SeoeraI lines lost BY The bursting or mater
tank at liverpool, On Thursday, a very
disastrous and melancholy occurrence took
place at Liverpool aud Hlrrinton Water
Works. In connection with the works is a
large iron tank, capable Of holding 100000
gallons of water, adjoining some snail houses
on one side of Rock street, occupied by work
ing people. For the purpose of filing this
tank, several worknen attended, and set an
engine at work on Thursday MORNING. The
process of filing went gradually on until half
past one. O'Clock in the afternoon, when hav-
ING become two-thirds full, the tank burst.
The consequence was, that two OF the houses
in Rock street were rent asunder, and all the
others in the same street were more or less
injured, owingto the great body of water for
cling Itself into the foundations. A woman
and a child were drowned in two of the hou-
SEES, and an oldWoman is still missing.-whiIe
eight other parties are in the Southern and
Toxteth Hospital, owing 10 the Commissions
and fractures they received.

There appears to be some uncertainty
about the rumored revolt of Paredes against
the present government Of Mexico. Gen.
Paredes has been the master spirit Of two
Revolutions in Mexico. 1t was he who
placed Santa Anna Oh the throne by the
military power, and it was he who de-
throned him by the same power, and placed
Herrera in his stead. Paredes is undoubt-
edly the greatest General in Mexico, if not,
possessing the most ability generally. Judg-
ing from what he has done in the line ol
Revolution, the inferences would be in "a
vor Of the report of the new Revolution.
But recent reports pronounce the rumor
false, and letters have been published pnr-
porting to be from the friends Of Paredes,
asserting that the General is true to Her.
rera, and that he will continue to be so.
But we have New Orleans dates to the 9th,
which say that the news by the schooner
Joaquin, from Tampico, brings news diff
ferent from that last mentioned. The
news by this schooner says that the revolt
is certain. Now, which is true, is impos-
sible to tell, but we shall soon be inform
cd, and when SO, we will inform our read
erS.

lief measure can be garfield through. The
payment or assumption Of these expenses,
or any portion Of them, BY the Territorial

materially lessen, if indeed, it did not
wholly destroy, all hope Of this kind.
Were the claim for which the bill pro-
vides payment an isolated one, my desire
to cooperate with the Legislative Assem-
bly, in all its acts might have prevented me
from interposing my objection to, It's pay
ment out of the Territorial Treasury, not
withstanding the impropriety and iihpolicy
of allowing interest upon snch accounts;
but satisfied, as | am, that should the bill

ter, and finally lead to the assumption d

Great Democratic Meeting.

A great democratic meeting was held at
the Capitol of Missouri on the 9Th Of jan
uary 1916. at which spirited resolutions
were passed, sustaining the Presidents
message throughout, with this exception,
that nothing is said about giving notice to
Great Britain of the dissolution Of the Joint
occupancy. Our title to the whole of Ore
gon is roundly asserted, yet there is this
one blank we do not like. The convention
also say that the President cannot renew
the offer last made with honor; as much al
to say he ought to accept it if made by Eng
land. We think, we see Mr.. Benton's
policy in this, and we will predict. that
Thomas II. Benton uM vote against giving
this notice to England. Mark that!

felelgn Nexs.

Since The arrival Of the Acadia, we
have received news from the Continent by
the packet ship Oxford, two days later;
and by the packet ship Iowa, eight days
later. The news by the Oxford left us in
uncertainty whether the corn laws had
been set down by the British Cabinet to
be repealed. The London Times avered
that they had been doomed by the Cabinet
and other papers denied it. The packet
s! io Iowa brings news six days later than
that by the Oxford. The news by this
packet leads us to believe that the asser.
tion Of the Times was premature, and thai
the corn laws were yet safe. There arr
rumors, however, that Eagland is negoti
ating with Mr.. McLane for commercial
treaty with the United States. Ifany new
treaty is made, there will probably b.
some alteration of the British policy as Il
the introduction Of bread stuffs by US int
her ports and markets. Aside from this
the news is of no interest. 1t being onl,
eight days later than that by the Acadia
nothing, of course is said Of the President
message, as it had not then arrived in Eng
laud.

4 SAGE in Iowa.

The Editor Of the s'Iowa Argus" must
be very wise man. We Judge so from
his triumphant overthrow Of Mr.. Hanne-
gan's remarks and resolutions made and
offered in the Senate Of the United States,
Mr.. Hannegan must feel awfully if he
hears Of it, that he must. We think the
Editor Of the Argus wears white neck
handkerchief and must be the deacon o
some Congregationalist church. Rarely
have we seen so much meekness and wis.
dom embodied in any one man. He is un.
doubtedly an immediate descendant of So.
Ion. We hope he will not oppose Or.
egon in every shape, because he does, it i,

Outrageous.

been destructive to life. The deed was "a

The basement story was occupied as gro
Gerry store, and several families lived in
the upper stories. The cask of powder
was placed in the lower story, and the
cask was actually burned through before
the fire was extinsuished. The Villains
ought to be brought to justice.
