Thirty-third Congress.

On Monday last, the first session of
the Thirty-third Congress, met when
the Senate was called to order by Sena-
tor Atchinson, President, pro tenn.
The House was called to order and
proceeded to the election of Speaker,
which resulted in a choice of Lynn Boyd,
on the first ballot
The Presidents Message was deliv-
cred on Tuesday. It's length, of course,
precludes our giving anything more than
the heads.
Our diplomatic relations with foreign
powers have undergone no essential
change since the adjournment of the last
Congress. With some of them, ques-
tions of disturbing character are still
pending, but there are good reasons to
believe that these may be all amicably
adjusted.
For some years past, Great Britain
has so construed the first article Of the
convention of tho Goth of April, 1918,
in regard to the fisheries on the north
eastern coast, as to exclude our citizens
from some of the fishing grounds, to
which they freely resorted for nearly
quarter Of century subsequent to the
date Of that treaty.
TO protect our fishermen in the en-
joyment of their rights, and prevent col
lision between the United States and
that. country might, it is conceived be
released from some unnecessary restric-
tions to the mutual advantage of both
parties.
All attempts at fllibustcring agains:
Cuba and Porto Rico are to be vigorously
! ~--r~-oeoad
The course of the officers in the Kozsta
affair is approved.
In the Treasury there is a now q
balance of thirty-two million four hun
dred and twenty five thousand four hun
dred and forty-seven dollars of receipts
above expenditures.
A reduction of the tariff is recon-
mended, by reducing the duties on cer-
tain articles and the admission of others
entirely free Of duty.
An augmentation or modification Of
the army is proposed for consideration ;
as also the strengthening of the navy.
The receipts of the post Office depart.
ment have fallen short of the expendi.
lures by two millions forty-two thousand
and thirty-two dollars.
The subject Of Internal Improvements
is very delicately handled. Though the
Pacific railroad is recommended as
worthy of consideration but it 5 thought
that it should be private enterprise.

the Glee Club having finished theirs
before we arrived-at the Union Meet

this evening. In justice to our own con-

good judges of music who were present,
we feel bound to say that they per-
formed their parts remarkably we'll, and
although our expectations were high,
yet they were more than realized. Truly,
this community may be proud that they
have such band in their sidst, and
we trust that we shall have cause to be-
lieve that their merits are appreciated
by seeing the Union Meeting House
filed to overfowing, this evening. To
those who take no pride in such matters,
we would say, if you 60 and hear them,
you will get your moneys worth. GA

IoLLowAY's OINTMENT AND PILLS, A
SUPERIOR REMEDY FOR SCORBUTIC AFFEc-
TIoNs AND ALL DISEASES OF THE SKIN -
Cutaneous diseases are in their nature both
obnoxious and painful to those afflicted
causing great anxiety of mind, heayiness,
weariness, and detection of spirits. To ef-
feet cure Of those dreadful maladies, use
Holloways Ointment and Pills. The latter
is the finest purifier of the blood ever dis
covered, and there is nothing equal to the
ointment for allaying the irritation of the
parts affected. By n steady perseverance
in the use of these remedies the most aggra
waited diseases Of the skin may be cured,
and the patient restored to sound health.

SA young lady of highly respecta- =
bic connexions, dressed herself in male
attire, in Albany, few evenings since,
and visited several fashionable drinking
shops, in the assumed character of a nice
young man. She thought she was un-
known, but she must have been not a
little surprised, not to say mortified or
ashamed, on seeing it stated in one of
the papers the next evening that she
was recognized at every place she went.

B<y~ AS will be seen by notice in
another column, it is expected that Messrs
Howard Meeks and Clement Webster
will speak in this place on Saturday
evening next, on the subject of temper
ance. We say it is expected that they
will speak but we are afraid there is
something wrong in this community, for
the Good Book says "the expectation
of the wicked shall PERISH" and it has
been expected some two or three times
before this that Mr.. Webster would
speak in this place on that subject,
" but the expectation of the" -
community has perishcd heretofore.
Bro. Webster, we really hope you won't
stop on your way to deliver a political
speech because we should much like
to have you speak to us.
Since the above was in type we have
received a line from Mr.. Webster stating
that Mr.. Meeks has withdrawn his ap-
pointment to speak here on Saturday

1894, is on hand at this early day. Ii
this is specimen number for the year,
and we doubt not it is, for We find that
in this respect Cooley is unlike some
other magazines in that he holds out
through the year as he commences-it
may fairly be considered the chef d'aurre
of elegant literature. The Pleides"
is splendid engraving, and we think
we may safely say that the title is de-
cidedly the best thing of the kind We
ever saw. We wonder if that "like-
ness" is the counterfeit presentiment"
Of Cooley if it is We must acknowledge
that he is much better looking man
than we had formed an idea of. But,
at all events he makes a popular maya
zine and he cannot fail to reap the re-
ward of his labors. L. A. Cooley, Phil

The KNICKERBoCKER MAGAZINE,
for December, is on our table. The
great care evinced in the selection of
articles that adorn its pages, is sufficient
guaranty that no contribution meets the

When storms and wild tempests are
sweeping DER our hillside village, in
these chill winter hours, and all is drear
and desolate without, we ask for no
more agreeable companion than the
Knickerbocker; for while its contents
impart valuable information, its sallies
of genuine wit are sovereign specific
for all the fits of the blues or attacks of
the horrors, and time passes merrily on.
