SOMETHING NEW.

The Cincinnati Commercial says that
Messrs. Koble & Miller have an establish
ment in that city, 'swhose whole business,
employing some $4,000 worth of capital,
is preparing sausage skins for the European
markets; they attend all the slaughter hou-
SEES, obtain the in'ards Of all the hogs, pre-
pare, andlth ship them across the Allan
tic, realizing large profit in the transaction
We were never more astonished than in
learning that such branch of trade was
carried onin our city. The people Of EN-
rope receive these sausage skins, ready for
use, as imported from Cincinnati. But this
is not all. Western Avenue has another es-
Enlistment, not whit less singular! II is
the establishment Of little German, whose
name we did not learn, whose entire bust
ness is cleaning hogs bIadders, aud making
them fit for holding lard to ship to the Eng
lish market. We learn that he was in a
fair way to get rich, sending of per annum
over 100000 bladders +!

From california ana the Sail Lake.

From Mr.. George Smith, of the enter
prismg firm of Smith & Bedford Of this town,
who returned from Council Bluffs two
days since, we learn that an express mail
arrived at the Bluffs, just previous to his de-
parture, 6iy-six days from the Salt Lake.
The Mormon Colony is reported to be in
a prosperous condition, LAYING surplus Of
several thousand bushels Of grain and other
accessories Of life. Money is plenty, a
large portion Of which is obtained in, and
brought from the gold regions in California,
either in the dust, or in Mexican gold coin,
received in exchange for the dust in Cali
torna. The reports concerning the rich
ness and extent Of the gold mines, received
BY others, are fully confirmed by this party,
some of whom are direct from that region,
bringing a large quantity of the yciloto dirt.
BY this mail Messrs. Saith & Bedford,
received from the Salt Lake, orders for mer-
chandize amounting to upwards Of 5000,
accompanied with the dust, among which
was one package Of ten pounds. These are
the first orders received from that quarter;
and the opening Of new avenue of trade to
st. Joseph which must be extensive and
profitable. - ST. Joseph Gazette.

Of the subject, and that, at proper time,
it will be .Jarorably considered and acted
upon.
We do moi know when we have rec eiyed
more gratifying information than is contain
ed in the above paragraph. Although we
may have to wait until the new Congress
can be assembled next December, and de-
wise such system of improvements as the
country demands, we have already the as
surance Of the President elect, that he has
no constitutional scIuples upon this ques-

Of Congress. That body, we doubt not,
will mature such bill as will meet the
wants Of the country, and receive the

LATER FROM MoNrEyIpEo.

We are in receipt of files Of the Concrete
del Plata to the Oath October. The ru-
mors Of French expedition Of 5000 men
against Buenos Ayres had created much ex-
element there, and Rosas was supposed by
many to be holding Mr. Southern, the En-
glish minister, in suspense as to his recep-
ton, until he could see how French policy
towards Buenos Ayres would be shaped.
Mr. Southern's position towards Rosas' gov.
eminent renamed the same as at last ad :
vices--that is, Rosas refused to receive him
unless he avowedly came to treat on the
basis laid down by Mr.. Hood, the first
English Commissioner, with the modifca-
tons which were accepted by the legal gov
ernments Of the republic of La Plata. Mr.
Southern would not accept such recogni-
ton, as he does not and cannot bring such in
He had, however, intimated
that, though not accepted as minister, he
should remain the country in private ca
pacity, as he found that the climate agreed
with his health. The correspon-
dent Of the Concrete thinks if he does stay
in any cdpaety, after the treatment he has
received, he will show but little spirit

A singular faet--sprinlsling a dead child
with cold water.

Captain Hood, well-known citizen of
Beetown, in this county, had little child
taken sick, which after much suffering, and
with all the usual indications Of the final,
struggle with death, received its parents
parting embrace in the presence Of other
friends The glazed eyes Of the little suffer
er were closed and bandage was applied
to support the lower jaw, as is customary
After lapse Of some twenty or thirty min
'utes, a woman in attendance, who was la
boring in the ablution and laying out the
corpse, commenced by sprinkling some cold
water on the child's face. Strange to tell,
the child opened its eyes, aroused, began to
recover, and is now in the enjoyment of
good health. Lancaster { Grant Co., Wis

SENATE.

SATURDAY, JASuARy 6, lai9.
SENATE.
The Senate were not In Session to-day, having
yesterday adjourned over until Monday.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
After preliminary business the Speaker announced
that the motion reconsider tho vote by which the
House, last Saturday. ordered bill, for the relief of
the legal representatives Of Antonio Pacheco, was
first in order
The merits Of the bill are briefly, as follows, viz :
Pacheco was the owner of negro slave named
Lewis, who was hired by an officer of the army.
duly authorized, from his owner, as an interpreter
and guide to the defeated command of Major Dade.
He was one of the few survivors of tho disastrous
defeat of that command, and remained either voun-
tarily or captive amongst the hostile Indians
until thsspring Of 1887, when he accompanied jun
per Seminole chief, TO one Of our military posts
in Florida He was then claimed by his owner; and
the military commander, in whose control he was.
refused deliver him TO his owner, and ordered that
he be sent with the Indians to the West; because
he deemed his transportation proper, inasnuch as he
was considered capable Of exercising an injurious
influence over tho Indians; and thus, in pursuance
of this order he was transported TO the West, and his
owner thereby deprived of his value
Mr. Giddngs being entitled to the floor, made a
speech against the BILL denying that slaves are pro-
perry under the Constitution, and saying that such
claims as this have never been allowed. He with
drew the motion TO reconsider; and
The question was then put on the passage of the
bill. The vote was announced--yeas, 80; nays, SO.
The Speaker being called upon TO vote, in pur-
suance of the rule, was stating the reasons which
would influence him in so doing, when
The Clerk reminded him that there was an error
In The adding up. II wos-yeas, 81, nays SO.
This relieved the Speaker, and much laughter sue
cccded the announcement Of the result.
However it was subsequently discovered, too late
for action to-day, that there was further mistake,
the vote was realy--yeas, 50; nays, 50; tie
The House went into Committee of the Whole on
the :" BIZ to establish board for the settlement Of
claims against the United States" Aftet speech
from Mr.. Johnson, of Tennessee, in opposition to
the bill, the Committee arose; and the House ad
jourped.
