a MAN WHIPPED TO LIFE.-An intemperate man
named Stanley, attempted to commit suicide in Ney-
ARK N. j., recently by taking large dose of lauda-
num- which rendered him insensible. The Newark
Advertiser says:
a physician was called, who decided that the only
means OF restoring animation to give the subject
severe beating, which was done by two men with
heavy switches for quarter of an hour when signs Of
returning animation were shown, and the patient
sat up A glass of brandy was then given him, when
he fell to Sleep and the beating process was resumed
until he was fully restored to Consciousness He is
now comparatively well, except some suffering from
the bruises received from the extraordinary course
Of sprouts" to which bswas subjected. This is the
first case we ever heard of where man was whipped
to life from a state bordering on death, Cases Of
whipping to death occasionally occur, but cases of
whipping to life seldom never.
We have heard Of an instance in which animation
was restored to drowned man by liberal applica-
ton OF the switch 1t was the prescription of an old
Dutchman who had just finished two dozen mugs of
lager beer but it had the effect nevertheless of start
ing the circulation of the blood in what appeared to
be stlfened corpse, and the man was brought back
to life after having been submerged for quite half an
hour.

NAsuIHGToN, Dec. 4, lS5G.-.Senate-Th Presi-
dent of the Senate laid before the body letter from
the Secretary of the Interior sent in reply to resou
ton Of the Both August last calling upon that officer
to state as accurately practicable the amount re-
quired to pay the allowances proposed ander the bill
passed by the House to provide for the settlement Of
the claims of officers of the revolutionary army.
1.-The Secretary communicates report from the
Commissioner OF Pensions dated the 18th October
last in which the information is given as accurately
as practicable
This table gives the whole number of officers as two
thousand and ninety It estimates the number of
those who died within the first ten years after the
Revolution as one-ourth and those who died without
nea descendants, and those who, from varions other
causes, will not be able to establish their claims, as
another fourth. ltoreign officers and chapains are
omitted in the statement made, because not supposed
to be embraced by the billy Taking the average of
life the Government would have to provide for one
thousand and fortyfive officers and the amount re-
qured to pay the allowances under the bill passed by
the House OF Representatives last August would be
81, ,j09 900.
AS nearer approach, however, to accuracy, it is
suggested that the pay of captain and lieutenant be
taken as an average, say half pay of captain at $2l0
and lieutenant at slG0, making S400. Taking there
FORE the average at 5000, the gross sum would bel
duced to 100000. 1t is affirmed that under all the
circumstances, it is but reasonable to suppose that
halt the amount originally issued can now be
claimed.l
Mr. Clay gave notice that he would introduce bill
to he entitled " An act supplementary to an act to
graduate and reduce the price of the public lands to
actual settlers and cultivaors, approved August A.
| 1854.
On motion, ordered that when the Senate adjourn,
it be to meet on Monday next.
A long discussion took place upon the question of
printing the Presidents message and accompanying
documents together with l5 900 extra copies for the
use OF the Senate. 1t resulted in nothing bnt an ad-
| journment.
House Of epresentatires.--The Speaker announced
the standing committees of the House. They are gen.
orally composed of the members who constituted them

occasioned by placing upon the committees those

| by death resignation.

with the question oilaying the table the motion to
reconsider the vote against administering the oath of
office to the delegate from Kansas, but arrived at no
