STRANGE SUPERsTITIoN.-The Norwich (Ct.) J
Courier relates strange and almost incredible
tale of superstition, recently enacted at Jewett
City, in that vicinity. About six years ago,
Horace Ray, of Griswold, died of consumption.
Since that time, two of his children, grown up
people, have died of the same disease, the last
one dying some two years since. Not long ago.
the same fatal disease seized upon another SON,
whereupon, it was determined to exhume the
bodies of the two brothers already dead, and
burn them, because the dead aceye supposed to
feed upon the hiring; and so long as the dead
body in the grave remained in state of de-
composition, either wholly or in part, the sur.
viving members of the family must continue to
furnish the sustenance on which the dead body
fed. Acting under the influence of this strange
and blind superstition, the family and friends
the deceased proceeded to the burial ground at
Jewett City on the Sth instant, dug up the
bodies of the deceased brothers, and burned
hem on the spot. 1t seems impossible to be-
ieve that such dark ignorance, and folly could
exist in the middle of the 10Th century, and in
a.State calling itself enlightened and Christian.

PUBLIC PRINTING.
The following amendment was read

"SEc. I. And be further enacted, That the portion o.
the seventh section of the act of 2oh August 1852
and establishing the prices thereof and for other purposes
which provides that when document shall be ordered
ing OF such do.unent shall be done by the printer OF that
House which first ordered the same, Is hereby repealed
and when there different printers for the respective
houses each shall do the printing which may hereafter
be ordered by the House eecting him.
Mr.. PHELPS said the Committee Of Ways and
Means recommended concurrence in the above,
and non-concurrence in the latter part Of the
section, as follows:
And much of the printing for the executive depart
ments and bureaus is ordered by the
said act to be done by the public printer shall be equally
divided between the printers of the two houses"
Mr.. PHELPS said there was, in his opinion, a
necessity for concurrng in the first part Of the
section as a controversy had risen between the
respective printers of the,two Houses in relation
10 the ordering OF a certain document but as the
object OF the latter portion could not be carried
out, it should be rejected
Mr. BAfLl said controversy was now going
on with regard TO the printing Of the agricultural
part of the Patent Office report in respect 10 which
there could be but one opinion. The Joint Com
mite on Printing had however ,decided that they
have no jurisdiction in the premises. His friend
ship for the son of friend and the grandson of
friend OF his grandfather concerned in this matter
had induced him Mr. BAYLYl to advise him Mr..
Tucker the Senate printerl 10 ask mandamus
from the circuit court, which decided that the
Committee on Printing is the tribunal TO decide
the question at issue. The case has gone 10 the
Supreme Court, and there was no knowing when
decision will be rendered. All lawyers know
the difficulty of getting mandamus An employee
OF the government, Qhe Superintendent OF Public
Printing! not responsible to anybody, should not
be entrusted TO decide matter of right, without
appeal, as the question now is. You give 10 him
an amount of patronage with respect to the press,
and large jobs, which ought not not to be en-
trusted to any irresponsible individual, unless the
House wishes TO open the foodgatcs of corrup-
tion. Better give a little more for printing than
that this state Of things should exist. He then
advocated that part of the section which proposes
10 divide the executive printing between the
printers Of the House and the Senate. Was not
this right? Was il not equality and equity ? In
a country which depends more on the purity and
intelligence of the press, than anything else,
why should you put it into the power the heads
Of the departments TO foster the printer Of one
House at the expense Of the printer TO the other
When the two Houses choose. for political or other
reasons TO elect different printers, you TO give
the heads Of departments the power to crush one,
and build up the other, and hold rod Of terror
over both presses?

Mr.. McDOUGAL stated 10 the committee that
he consented TO the arrangement only with the ex-
press understanding that tomorrow morning the

Mr.. PHELPS said that the Committee could if
they would, get through with the Senates amend
ments in the course of two hours.
