The INsuRREoTroN IN SPAIN.-Fhe cor
respondent Of the London Times from Par
is, under date of the 9th inst, says:
The Instruction began on the morning
of the Goth, and up to the most recent date
It was still uncrushed, even according TO
the most favorable accounts. The letter
of your correspondent of the list, due here
this morning, and which no doubt contain
ed particulars of the action fought on the
evening ofthe 3oth, has not come to hand.
1t has been evidently kept back, together
with other correspondence, by the authori-
ties, who do their best to prevent any ac-
count reaching the frontier, except that
which is most favorable to themselves
A Geographic dispatch, received here this
afternoon and which left Madrid at 6 o.
clock last afternoon states, rs the one quo
ted above does, that the insurgents were in
tho neighborhood of Aranjuez, and adds,
that the Government was most ~anxiously
awaiting reinforcements from Sarragossa
and Valladolid, and that if they received
them-that is, ifthey did not pronounce
on their march against the wretched min
ions who are the cause Of the blood that has
heon shed-they had every hope of beat
ing the insurgents in the next encounter
with them.

GvrThe Washington Union of Wednes-
day gives the following: "There was quite
a scene witnessed yesterday about l o.
clock, in the Rotounda Of the Capitol, and
a very distressing one it was. Mr.. Smith,
of Virginia, a nephew Of Gen VIM, Smith,
of the House of Representatives, n gentle
man of about thirty years of age, entered
the Rotounda where there were many per-
sons, and he was seen suddenly to fall
PROSTATE. Senator Jones of Iowa, Gen,
James of Wisconsin, and our friend King
man of this city, fastened 10 his assistance,
and learning that Mr.. Smith had been
"sun struck" they procured some ice-wa'
ter and poured it upon his head. He soor
rallied and was restored to q standing po'
sition. A few moments elapsed and the
gentleman again fell PROSTATE. Water wai
the second time applied tothe head, and il
a short time he again recovered, and wa
III seed in a chair. After sitting for som
time he entirely recovered and took a hacl
for his lodgings. The sun, during part o
yesterday was intensely hot. Mr.. Smitl
walked to the Capitol, and was consequent
ly exposed to the rays of the burning sun
the occurrence produceda sensation at tn
Capitol and every one present deeply sym
pathized with the sufferer.

Mr.. JOINS, one Of the Oldest and most
respected citizens Of New Haven, Huron
county, Ohio, met with his death on Sat-
urday, in a singular manner. He was on
straw stack, standing on one of the stakes,
which breaking, threw him to the ground.
Having a pitchfork in his hands at the
time, he threw it from him, but, the handle
striking a soft place, held the tines upward.
Mr.. Johns fell directly upon the fork-the
tines piercing him through the heart, a
ing almost instant death.

Please read the following letter, which coming as it
doesfrom parties of the highest standing is certain
ly entitled to consideration.
Cure of a long standing and aggravated ease Of Humor.
soNrRv1LLE, NJ, December II, 1880. Barealow,
ESQ. Permit me to pen a voluntary testimonial to the
virtues of DR.. Weaver's Syrup and Cerate. Ibelieve
that TO them my mother owes an entire relief from a
tedious and acute species ofTETTER of long standing.
Her case was aggravated. Both hands were afflicted,
was intense. The best Allcopathic ano Homeopathic
treatment was bestowedupon her. Finding no relief
we resorted to q Root Doctor, but with no better sue
cess. The disease was spreading, and soon threatened
to extend to her arms. In this suffering condition, and
while seeking In vain for relief, your recommendation
of DIR. Viewers valuable preparation was needed, and
Ii affords me much happiness in stating that but two
hotties, and one box Of the Cerate were used-with
some attention to diet-in edecting as we believe and
firmly trust, an entire and lasting cure. An entire new
cuticie, was formed on a great portion Of each hand
Her relief was exceedingly great, and the gratitude Of
her family has been best expressed in our unqualified
recommendation ofthe medicines to those Of our
friends afflicted with cutaneous affections. One gen
tleman TO whom the preparations Of d Weaver were
suggested by myself, has been relieved to q degree
unknown in years, of Salt Rheum, and he believeshis
cure will be entire, by them.
You may feel at liberty to make what use you think
proper Ofthis hastily written certificate from Yours,&c.

WrLLIAn MrrrIL AND THE SuPREME

that this gentleman should have said in his
late anti-B Bank speech at the Court House,
..that the United States Supreme Judges
vera a set Of Old Fogies,'' This was men
toned at that time as q mere rumor and put
in the shape Of an interrogatory. 1t is now
established beyond doubt that the Govern
or did make the above declaration. He
said the Supreme Judges of the United
States did not understand the wants of the
people, and that the citizens Of Ohio need
not look beyond the precincts oftheir own
State for Justice in this matter of Bank
taxation. Thattbe Supreme Judges of the
United States held their Office for life, and
were consequently Independent Of the peo-
pie. He counoiled his fellow Democrats
not to recognize a binding any decisions
Of that tribunal in reference to Banks, al
the Supreme Judges themselves were thu
embodiment Of aristocracy.
We CLEAN these facts from the most re
liable sources-from men who stand higl
in the estimation ftheir fellow citizens ,aint
who were present on the occasion ofth'
meeting referred to and IRE willing to b
qualified to the correctness OF these state

The HoMrsrEAD BnL.-By reference

The HOMESTEAD BmL.-By reference
to the proceedings in Congress it win be
seen that the Senate in pursuance Of the
settled plan to defeat the Homestead bill
for the session, has agreed to adopt the
compound, and complex machine of Mr.
Hunter of Va, which, is a very different
thing from the Homestead bill as it passed
the House. By reference to the report it
will be seen that 160 acres of land is TO be
granted to free white persons having fami-
lies, or who are over the age of twenty-one
on condition that they remain on the land
for five years, and also pay for the SAINT the
sum of twenty-five cents per acre.
It's doubtful whether the House will
agree to give away the public lands to the
States, as is proposed by Mr.. Hunters bill,
and it is by no means certain thatthe Pres
ident would not veto the bill if it were to
pass both Houses. The general principles
laid down by him in his veto Of the insane
land bill, would seem to cover this mea
ure of Mr.. Hunter. But it is idle to look
for action founded upon any settled princi-
pies in the present executive. After his
solemn assurance that nothing which would
bring up the slave question in Congress
should receive his countenance; and after
the same President had made the Nebras-
ka bill a measure of his administration thus
throwing wide open again every door to
this agitation, we have no right to infer
that he will be consistent in any thing.
We shall watch with some interest the
action of Congress and the President Oh
this new bill. We are still of the opinion
that it is a game to defeat the homestead
measure, and to take from the Presideut
the responsibility of vetoing it. A few
days will settle this question.-O. s.
Journal.

SINGvLAR DoINGs BY THE IRISH AT EAs-
ToN.-A few weeks since, a petition was
circulated in the town O Easton, Mass, to
have the School Committee remove the BIZ
BILE from the public schools. The petition,
ofcourse, was got up by the Roman Cath
olics, directed by a priest. The move
ment resultedin the expulsion of the sacred
volume from the schools. Among those
who signed the petition, were Oliver Ames
& Sons, the well known proprietors of the
Shovel Mandatory in that village. These
gentlemen, seeing q large number ofnames
on the petition, and being assured that the
majority Of the voters in the town were in
its favor, affixed their signature.
A few days afterwards the firm received,
much to their surprise and Indignation, a
large box, containing some 800 weapons,
consisting of muskets, pistols and swords,
which were probably intended for the use
ofthe Irish in their employ.-Boston Bee.

Coop TO READ.-He must have been o

a philosopher also, who wrote as follows in
an unique paper, some fifteen years ago:
"Man is never contented. He is the

viii continue to-worry and fret, no matter
how pretty are the play-things that are laid
before to please him. He will sometimes
fret because he can find nothing to fret a.
boat. / know just such men myself. If
they were bound to live in this world for
ever, he would fret because he couldn't
leave and go to another, Just for a change
and now, seeing that M or later he must
60, and thinks he would like to live here
always. The factis he don't know sphat he
wants.

myself. For forty years I've been search
ing every nook and corner for some pleas
ant spring of happiness, instead of which
| have only found a few food-swollen
streams bearing upon their surface innu-
merable bubbles of vanity, and all along BY
their margins nests Of young hunsbugs are
continually being hatched. Ihaye drunk of
these waters nigh unto bursting, and have
always departed as dry as a cork, In fact

E1-A disgraceful scene occurred at the
Cathedral. yesterday afternoon. An Irish
man, named Timothy Callan, brought the
body of his child to receive the rites of the
Church. These, for lone reason, the Bish-
op refused; and several of the funeral party
informed us that the refusal was caused by
the fact that Callan retailed liquor upon
Water street, despite the Bishops orders
that he should give up the traffic. Ever
if this were so, the query is a natural one.
whether, in q free country, the discipline
of the Church should leave the father tc
follow the corpse Of an infant.
Callan raved like a mailman, swore ter.
riblv, proclaimed himself "a good Catholic,
who paid his Dues" denounced the Bish.
op, and attempted to tear the coffin from the
carriage in which it was placed. The
mother plead with the father, who wa'
half drunk, to be quiet; but her entreatiel
were unheeded.- C2eve. Her.
