Our Difficulties with Spain.

The Madrid correspondent of the Lon.
don Times, writing under date of May
81, says:
"In the meantime, and unless the Span
ish Ministry, acting in opposition to pro
fesslons it has made to persons in its con-
fdence, has directed its Minister in Wash:
ington to make considerable concessions,
or is prepared to send him instructions to
that effect as soon as it perceiyes that a
contrary course is uravailing, am at a
loss to see how the difficulty is to termi-
nate without hostilities. America is one
of the last countries that can be expected
to desist from demands of SO decided a
nature as those which have been made by
its Minister in complete accordance with
his instructions. And here l must ex-
press my belief, founded on information on
which l fully rely, that the report men
toned by the American correspondent oI
one of your morning cotemporaries, that
Mr.. Soule has gone beyond those instruc-
tions, is totally unfounded, and that this
will be clearly shown whenever the cor
respondeucerelating to the Black Warrior
qestion is brought before the public. Il
we admit, therefore that the United States
are not likely wholly to abandon, without
other compensation than the remission
of a trihing fine, such demands as those
put forth in the presentcase, it is tolerably
clear that Spain must yieldo or prepare fol

Our school House.

1t will be seen by an advertisement in
to-day's Pioneer, that our directors are
determined to make an effort to put up a
building that will be creditable to the
town, and of sufficient dimensions to ac-
commodate all the scholars in and about
Upper Sandusky. This union school sys-
tenn once adopted, tried and properly ar
ranged and no other system Will ever
again meet with popular favor in this COM
munity. Let the work of the building so
on with energy and rapidity, and let our
tax be increased to meet the demands ne
cessary to the speedy completion of the
work, and in after time it will be theme
Of qualification to many who now oppose
A building of this kind
Builders will 6nd the advertisement in
another column of our paper, and will do
well to read it and then prepare them
selves for the job. Send in your propos-
ais soon.

Terrible Suspicious.

Some time since Miss Agnes Pharr,
daughter of Pre-,1-terian clergyman in
Covington, Allegheny county Va, deceased
IN a sudden and mysterious manner. Sus-
plclon is now aaoat that death was pro-
duced by he physician and suitor, DR..
Thompson, with whom she was within
few days of marriage. The Lynchburg
Republican says of the affair:
We learn, from a private source, that it
is SO strongly suspected that her death
was caused By strychnine administered by
DR.. t., that several public meetings of the
citizens have been held to consider the
matter. The circumstances seem to be
these: Miss Pharr had been indisposed for
some weeks, and had been taking medi-
cine from DR.. Thompson. On the NOR
ming Of her death, DR.. I. wrote her note
asking postponement of her marriage,
and urging her to take the remainder of
the pills he had left for her. Among these
pms GICIS SteulS W nave Dpeu one Con-
siderably larger than the others, and this
was the only one left, Miss Pharr having
refused to take it. Upon this lastrequest
she took it, and in fifteen minutes was a
corpse.
Her death was pronounced at the time
to be similar to that produced by strych-
nine, but these was no suspicious of foul
play, until the ladies engaged in dressing
the body discovered certain signs, which
were more than confirmed by the further
discovery of box of ergot pills When
the suspicious assumed public character
Dr.. L. demanded that the body should be
disintered and examined by a committe of
physicians, named by himself; but when
the consent of the parents of the unfortu-
nate girl was obtained, he refused to have
anything to do with it alleging as reason,
that he did not wish to wound the feelings
of the family

SUIcIDE.--The Louisville Joaraat tells
the following story of child IS years,
named Henry Merriman:
"This is one of the most mysterious as
well as one of the most extraordinary
cases of suicide ever committed in this
country. Henry was devout Christian.
He had lost a little sister who also belong
ed to the church. This sister had given
him prayer book on her death bed, and
desired him to lit. He had become so
interested in the book, and on the subject
of meeting with dear sister, that it was
a subject CT daily conversation and pray
er with him. He appeared desirous to be
with her. His mother had told him that
he would meet his sister in heaven after
death. He prayed nightly and daily to
see her, and in his fit Of religious insani-
ty, he, upon his knees, cut his throat from
ear to ear, severing both jugular veins
This was truly sorry sight to look upon
"a heart broken mother, afflicted father,
and distressed relatives-this was scene
to dissolve heart of stone. Every one
present was in tears; every man became
as it were a child.
The verdict Of the jury was, that the
child came to his death from the influence
of the above facts, causing religious in
sanity"

Elegant Extract.

The grandeur of mans nature turns to
insignifcance all outward distinctions
His powers of intellect, of conscience, of
love, of knowing God, of perceiving the
beautiful, of acting on his own mind, on
outward nature, and on his fellow erea-
ture-these are glorious prerogatives.-
Through vulgar errors of understanding
what is common, we are apt, indeed, to
pass these by as of but little worth. But
as in the outward creation, so in the soul
the common is the most precious.
Science and art may invent splendid
modes of Illuminating the apartment OF
the opulent; but these are all poor and
worthless compared with the common
light which the sun sends into our win
dows, which he pours freely, impartially,
over hill and valley, which kindles daily
the eastern and western. sky; and SO the
common lights of reason, and conscience,
and love, are more worth and dignity
than the rare endowments which give
celebrity to few.-Chonning.

The Siege of SiIistria.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Times is in hopes Silistria will be relieved
in time. He says:
It is said that 35, 900 Russians are on
the right bank of the Danube, employed
in investing the place. These $4,000
men will be placed between fires, and will
it is hoped, be driven into the Danube OF
made prisoners. Notwithstanding the
slight hope of relieving that fortress, as
expressed in the private letter commnni-
cate, it is fully expressed here that it will
be relieved in time, and before the gallant
officer who defends it is forced either to
surrender, or, which is most probable bury
himself and the remnant of the garrison
under its ruins. The Danube scenes also
to be doing its duty against the Russians,
as the rising of the waters must have great
ly interfered with the operations against
the fort. At all events, an important
battle viii be soon fought near Silistria,
which cannot but produce considerable
effect on the campaign. The feet in the
meantime will cruise off the coast to have
an eye ON Sevastopol, and prevent the
possibility ofany success by sea, and also
to be ready in case of need to promote the
success of the operations.

LAND REFoRM.-Mau's right to a por
ton of the public lands of the country is
thus beautifully asserted in a western
paper:
God made the earth for man-for all
men. They feed on its bounty while liv-
ing, and sleep on its bosom when dead.
Life has its ups and downs, its cares and
sorrows, its reverses and its dire misfor-
tunes-the wealth ofyesterday is the pow
erty of to-day-the palace of to-day shall
be ashes or hovel ere tomorrow. Before
the whole of this broad land shall be deed
ed over to heartless landlords and curse,
let us adopt some generous system under
the kindly operation of which our children
and our children children, when need,
or care, or woe is On them, may seek and
find outa blessed Alabama merciful
resting place, blazing hearth stone, and a
quiet grave.

CONSIDERABLE excitement has been
created among the medical profession of
London-so says the Morning Advertiser
of that city-on account of the hands of a
young lady having beconme SO firmly
clasped together as to require great force
to seperate the fingers, and then only for
moment, from the palm of her hands,
The phenomenon occurred while she was
trying the table moving experiments, and
since then she has lost the use of her
hands.

LAND B1LL.-Washington, June 2O-A
great triumph was achieved to-day fol
the friends of the Land Bill, by the pas
sage of the Minnesota Bill in the House o.
Representatives. This bill was up before
as a Senate bill, and defeated only by &
small majority. 1t passed to-day as g
House bill by 20 majority. The friend:
Of alternate sections look upon this as {
good omen, taking it for granted that Con
gress looks upon giving way half, to ge
double pay for the other half, as no rob
berry, but merely a stimulus to labor ane
enterprise.

New Naval Bill.

Then York Herald, in speaking of the
new bill offered as to reform in the navy.
says:
The principal features of Mr. Bocock's
bill, are the establishment of higher
grade of officers than captains, namely"
Tag officers a reduction in the whole
number Of officers, SO as to leave as few
ldlers in the service as possible; retired
list; board of reform; increased pay for
sea service; stringent rules, to prevent, as
far as possible, continued leave of absence
promotion not to be based exclusively up
on date of commission, but alsoupon gen.
eral qualifications; and provisions for the
meritorious discharge of seamen, and in
ducements held out to them to re-enlist.
The qestion of assimilated rank between
officers of the navy and army is settled
a Judge Advocate is also provided tits
further provided that there shall be an in
crease of seamen and marines to the nun
Der of three thousand, whose pay is great
ly increased, and inducements 10 good
conduct and re-e e-enlistments are made
We learn that there is no doubt but that
the House of Representatives will con-
cur in the proposition for a recess which
has passed the Senate. The Homestead
Bill is to be made a party measure in the
Senate, and will be passed as soon after
the defeat of the Insane Land Bill as con-
venient. There is host of aspirants to
the offices in the two new Territories, but
the nominations will doubtless be withheld
until certain Administration schemes, in
cluding the Gadsden treaty, we presume,
are quietly arranged.

NEBRAsKA.-This question is still pierre
ing some of the wild fanatics, but then,
we do not apprehend any serious result
from the bitter vituperation sending out
by those who are SO much more philan-
thropic than wise. The same men stood
upon the same grounds in relation to the
acquisition of California and every other
particle of new territory that has come
into the United States since the original
thirteen states The same men will ever
run mad under similar circumstances
particularly, if they think the chances
are in their favor for office.

MARRIAGE ExTRAoRDINARY-O We'd
nesday young lady Of Baltimore, Md,
obtained writ against young gentle
uan, on charge of breach of promise OF
marriage, and also obtained warrant
against him from the Police Court, in con-
sequenc Of which he was arrested and
taken to the guard house, where the civil
writ was served by the Deputy Marshal
BY the advice of some of the officials, the
"gallant, gay Lothario" offered to marry
the lady--which proposition was accepted
and clergyman sent for, who speedily
tied the knot, the Captain of the GuarC
officiating as groomsman. and the Deputy
Marshal as bridesmaid! The married
couple went, off apparently well pleased
and will, no doubt live happily togethe
as long as they-agrce.

The VARIETY.-This world is filed up
with a mass of all the odds and ends,
grades, sorts, size and varieties that YOU
can imagine. Our Office being on the
corner of two public streets and right op-
posite. the court house, we are permitted
to see nearly every sort and kind that in
habits this section of country. Some
times we see the wild, rou gh and reckless,
other times the smooth, calm and beauti
ful. These reflections were called out by
seeing man ranting and pitching as if
bltby mad dog. What chance we
all have to study our own nature when
we witness the folly of other persons.
