THE UNITED STATES ARMY.-From the report
Of the Secretary of War, we learn that the Uni
ted States army at the present time consists Of
ten regiments Of infantry. four Of artillery, two
of dragons, two Of cavalry, and one of mount
ed riHemen. Its whole strength is IL ,9S4 men !;
its actual strength 1874. This force is called
upon to garrison 68 forts, and to occupy 70 less
permanent forts, scattered over an area OF g.
100000 square miles. Its principal duty is the
protection Of the double line Of Indian frontier
on either side of the Rocky Mountains and the
great lines Of travel across that range; an ag-
gregate line of 600 miles. Not less than FIVE
additional regiments are absolutely requisite
for this purpose The Secretary recommends a
line of posts near the usual babitatons of the
Indians, and the concentration at eligible points
of large bodies of horse.

took place, Jan. 10Th, just below Todd's ranch.

Spanish Bar of $3.50 or $500. On the day men
toned. the citizens of Spanish Bar surrounded
the camp and demanded the surrender of the
robbers, which was answered by the discharge
of a musket on the part Of the Indians The
whites Immediately commenced firing, and dis
charged some one hundred and fifty shots, kill
ing one Indian only. who was probably inaOccnt.
The whites seized all the firearms. bows, arrows.
etc., belonging to the Indians, to be returned
on surrender Of the robbers.

A Curious WEpD1NG.-The New York
correspondent of the Charleston Courier
says: 2
An interesting wedding took place a
few days since between a Mr.. Henry B..
Melville and Mrs. Sarah K. Seymour.
The parties have both been married be-
fore and each has a family OF. seven
children; those~of the gentleman com
prising six daughters and a son, and
those Of the lady six sons and a daughter.
The sons acted on the occasion as
groomsmen to their future father, and
the daughters as bridesmaids to their
future mother. The whole fourteen
children, dressed alike according to their
sex, entered the church arm in arm, and
ranged themselves on either side of their
parents, who are both remarkably hand
some, and looked superb. The bride is
wealthy, and wa richly dressed in a
pear colored moirs antique with costly
laces, and diamond brooch and bracelet.

TIE nRErIpFD PHysrc1ANn-It appears

THE "REr1RED PHys1c1AN."-lt appears
that DR. James the "retired physician,
whose sands of life have nearly run out"
has retired and run from the scene Of his
labors, leaving behind him a disconso-
late police and an unhealed world. Not
ever his famous Cannibas. lndeca, or
East India Hemp, which had saved his
only daughter from the grave, was able
to arrest the mysterious process by
which his shadow grew less and less,
until it entirelydisappeared. His sands
of life he has, however, converted into
sands of gold, and the possession of one
hundred thousand dollars consoles him
for his compulsory flight from the gale
ties of New York. The retired physi
clan" is not the only MASQUERADE in which
the departed Brown-his real name-has
figured. He was also II. Monsett, who
taught people to change mercury into.
gold; he was professor James t. Horne,
who advertises that he will show any
body the way to make $1,000 a. year, if
not more, upon the receipt of & certain
sum in postage stamps, which coming
duly to hand, the applicants are sent a
recipe for the manufacture of artificial
honey, and the right to sell it in any
country which the dupe may select, the
two costing IS. The cnterprising Brown
is also Madame Julie Melville, who has
lately received from France some splen-
did cosmetics.
These facts have been broughtto light
by the N. Y. police, who are now in ca
ger pursuit of the retired and retiring
physician. 1t appears that there was no
Cannibis Endica in the medicine Of Brown,
but merely a compound of liquorice, slip
perry elem decoction and honey costing
sixteen cents, bottle and all, and for
which he charged 50. His "Regenerat-
ing and Purifying Pill" and "Excelsor
Ointment of India" were made ON the
same principle, and sold for as many
dollars as they cost him cents. The
most magnificent of his cosmetics,
1.-The Milk Of Roses and Extract of FL
der Blossoms" turns out to be a mixture
of magnesia and alcohol, costing him
about eight cents-price 50 a bottle.
It. remains to be seen under what new
disguise the "retired physician" will
make his next appearance before the
p~ublic.--[Phil. Bulletin,

To DESTROY ANTs.-Take some pieces
of rather open sponge, wet them in a So
lntion of molasses and water; place the
pieces where the ants appear, and in a
short time the sponge will be filled with
them; the sponge should thenbe dipped in
a basin of hot water, and again saturat-
ed with the molasses and water, and re-
placed for a new supply. Repeat this
for a few days, and the ants will either
all be destroyed or disappear.
