SHEEPIsH WISDOM AND SwINtsH SAGACI-
TY. A writer in the Boston Cultivator says
that if you go out in a foggy morning, and
find the sheep standing without feeding, there
will be no heavy fall of rain that day. Fyou
find them very hungry, and eating eagerly,
you may be sure of plenty of rain before
night.
We have noticed that swine can foretell
the weather. Some years ago we had a sow
that had litter of pigs during the hottest
part of July. She was in small field, and
we observed that instead of going into her
pen during nights, she laid out One warm
evening, when we went to feed her, we found
that she had taken herself and pigs into the
pen. 1t was warm and pleasant, and every
thing looked fair; but we told brck-makcr,
who was passing by,that he had better secure
any brick that he had out, for he would have
rain before long, He laughed'at the idea, and
passed on. Next morning it rained copous-
", and the brick-makcr as he came out of the
yard with rueful countenance, eEquired
how we knew it was going to rain so soon.-
We referred him to the old 500 for our au-
thority Goblet says that they not only know
when it is going to rain, but can tell which
way the wind is going to blow, too, and will
always take shelter where they will be in the
lee, if left to their choice,

Destructive FIRE. A fire broke out
between II and ~ o'clock in the blacksmith
shop of the Empire Foundry, and burnt that
building, together with the extensive machine
shop adjoining to the ground. The build
ings were the property Of Mr. Atwood, of the
late firm of Atwood, Cole & Crane, but they
were occupied in part by John f. Rodgers as
a machinist, whose loss was but small; in part
by Kingsbury Root formanufacturing wrought
iron viscs; in part by Myron j. Gilbert for
manufacturing Railroad cars and planning ma
chimes, whose loss was about $s206O-insured
$500, and by S. d. Green as pattern max
err. The buildings were insured $500 which
makes the whole insurance $4,000. The loss
is about $4,000. The insurance is in the
Mutual Company Of this city.-Troy Budgct

Hon. Jas. j. Mckay, Chairman Of Com
miHee of Vans and Means, IL of Reps.

We were present when this claim was pre-
scented in the Senate, and Mr. Sewer urged
an amendment to the civil and diplomatic ap-
preparation bill, appropriating $4,000 indi-
rectly to the owners of the Amistad. Mr.
Webster, Mr. Davis, Mr. Evans, Mr. Cilley, Mr.
Corwin and other Senators, from whom some
words of opposition might have been expect
ed, were in their seats, but not a syllable of
dissent was uttered. The amendment passed
without dissenting voice.
Mr. Giddings was soon made acquainted
with the fact, and the result was, the amend
ment was not concurred in by the House
The Senate insisted upon it, and it was then
referred to the Committee Of Ways and
Means. In this stage of proceedings the fore
going note by Mr. Buchanan was Transmitted
to the chairman of said committee, by whom
the amendment was reported, with a recon-
mendation that it pass, only reducing the
amount from $4,000 to $4,000.
Mr. Giddings and Mr. Adams again inter
posed Mr. A. was understood to say "that
the Spanish Government never claimed the
negroes of the Amistad as property, but de-
minded them as assassins and that there
fore, in no view was the Secretary of State
justified in the view which he had taken of
the relations of the United States with Spain
upon this subject, growing out Of the treaty
with Spain"
The House, thank God, had sufficient re-
gard for justice and the national honor to re-
ject the amendment. 1t failed-yeas &C, mays
1l3, And we hope that this may be the last
time that an American Congress will be in
suited by the presentation Of claim for in
demnity to a brace of Spanish shareholders

ELopEMENT-ARREsT-INDICTED Ar
RA1GNED. Christian F.Quakenbush,a black
smith by trade, and singing master by pro-
fession, permitted himself to engage in a very
unjusiia and improbable adventure, in
| Berlin, N T., on Tuesday last. Promising
that said Quakenbush, whose home is Sand
lake, \. Y, where he has wife and large
family, went over to Berlin to teach a sing
ing school, and play the bass VOL in church,
we would state further that on Tuesday last
he pursuaded girl named Martha Weaver
from Berlin to elope with him. They
passed the night at New Lebanon; from
thence they pushed on to Washington, in
Berkshire county, and passed Wednesday
night there.
They then took the cars for Boston, and
arrived here on Thursday night, putting up
at the Buffalo hotel, corner Of East and South
streets. As Mr. Christian brought his big fid,
die as we'll as a woman with him,not shadow
of suspicion was entertained at the house as
to the legitimateness of. the connexion be-
tween Mr. Quak and the lady. But the said
fiddle answered another purpose 1t was
mark ofidentity by which thefying pair could
be traced through the country by the friends
of the girl. So on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday last the hue-and-cry from stage to
stage, on the frontier, and from station to sta
ton on the Western railroad, was, "Have
you heard or seen anything of a middle aged
man, and girl, and big fiddle going east Z"
And the answer was-"O yes, for Sartin.-
Yesterday we saw an oldish man, and
largish fiddle, with gal going on to Boston,
apparently"
Thus following the fiddle, the girls friends
arrived here on Friday night, and on Satur-
day morning applied to the city marshall for
assistance. Officers Pierce, Monroe and Hop
kins, were Immediately sent out to trace the
big fiddle from the Worcester depot to a rest
ing place, and by one o'clock, they traced
Quakenbush, lady and fiddle to the Buffalo
No time was lost in conveying him 70 Jail
and as the grand jury happened to be in ses,
sion, the girls friends went directly before
them, and procured an Indictment for adul-
terry against the chanting seducer. AT five
in the afternoon he was brought into the mu-
nicipal court and arraigned, and was then
committed for trial, which may come off to-
day.-Post.

Sir :-Among the amendments adopted by
the Senate to the civil and diplomatic bill,
you will find an appropriation Of $50, 900, to
be paid to the Spanish Government for the
purpose of distribution among the claimants
in the " Amistad" case.
This claim has been necessarily urged upon
the Government of the United States by the
Spanish Government. They have much feel
ing upon the subject, and will never, I am
persuaded, cease from prosecuting it until it
shall be adjusted. have given the question
thorough and deliberate consideration, and
cannot avoid the conclusion that the claim is
we'll founded, under the 18th, 9th, and 9th ar
ticles of our treaty with Spain of the goth
October, 1895.
But even if the claim were doubtful, may
repeat what | said in my letter of March 10,
1916, to the chairman Of the Committee on
Foreign Relations of the House that " so long
as it shall remain unsettled it cannot fail to
prove source of irritation and discord be-
tween the two countries, highly prejudicial in
many respects to the Interests of the United
States.
Ihave the honor to be, with great respect,
your obedient servant,
