HousE.--The House went into COM
mittee on Tariff bill.
Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, presented q
bill and explained that it was reported
by a majority of the committee on ways
and means, during the last session, and
modified by adding various articles in
the free list, and leaving the item of
wool with a proviso that all wool OF the
value of Is cents or less, and so cents
and over per pound, at the port of i'm
portation, shall be duty free, and leaving
the intermediate kinds with the present
duty of 80 per cent. Lead, hemp, iron
and sugar, remain as they are. This
bill would reduce the revenue 9 million
dollars directly, and probably 4 to 8
millions, indirectly, by the facilities 1t
would give the manufacturing interests
of the country. This, after debate,
and the offering Of other provisions,
was agreed to as substitute for Mr..
Wilson'S bill, which contemplated re-
duction on all the present schedules
The former is still open to amendment.
The committee rose. f 4 .as-r
The House concurred in the Senate's
amendment to the coinage bill, making
tit lawful for two years to pay out ut the
Mint, the new cents authorised to be
coined, for the fractional parts of the

STARTLING OCCURRRECE.-At q
church, in an adjoining county, a Sunday
or two since, just as the congregation
were about to kneel down to pray, a
lady, in tone of horror, raised the cry
of snake! Great excitement prevail
ed, and there was mighty rush from
the dangerous locality. At length, a
gentleman advanced to the spot, gazed
moment upon the coiled monster, and
bouncing upon it held up to the view Of
the startled crowd, a whalebone hoop
which had wriggled itself out of lady's
petticoat and quietly coiled itself upon
the floor. This is fact, and ought to
admonish the ladies of the danger OF
not securing well the snake-like circles
which encompass their lower extreme

SPANISH SILVER CoIN.-The Officers
of the U. S. Mint at Philadelphia
state that Spanish silver coins, which
are not clipped..or punched; are in reality
worth rather more than the American
coins ofthe dame denomation. Theincon-

for the law which proposes to get rid Of

if possible sudden movements against
this currency-in which spectators only
