The Deficiency Bill.

The reconsideration of the vote re-
jecting the Deficiency bill, in the
House, gives evidence of return to a
more proper state of feeling on the
part Of that body.
An army had been dispatched to
Utah, to uphold and defend the Con-
stitution, and essential, and vigorous
aid, was necessary, not only to effect
the object of the campaign; but also,
to prevent the massacre or starvation
Of the Utah army.
But SO dimmed had the eyes of a
portion Of the members of the House
become, that they could see nothing
but that mighty "spuke" slavery, in
every measure Of the administration
and accordingly they voted, in effect,
in favor Of the starvation of the brave
little command Of Col. Johnston.
A sober second thought showed the
Democrats, who voted for the reject
ion, their error; and a reconsideration
was moved, and carried, by vote Of
Ill to 81. There was no reason for
making themselves ridiculous in
the first instance, and necessitating an
abandonment Of position which they
had taken. ------
A large majority Of the Republican,
In the House, with their coashtsnt ab.
purdity, are atill h hver Il ths starva-
siea 8 ths Utah army.

the death Of a young woman In Lehman TIP.
in that county, under circumstances that
have caused unusual excitenlent. Mary
Ellen Lord, girl fifteen years Of age, had
been employed some years in the family Of
Nicholas Depue. a respectable family Of Le-
hman, until last fall, when she returned
home to her fathers. soon after. her faith
er, Edmond Lord, commenced o prosecution
against Depue, for an alleged rape perpe-
trated upon the girl while in his service, in
consequence OF which she had become en-
ciente. The prosecution is still pending in
the Pike county courts. At the February
term 1t was pu, over until next season, on
testimony being brought forward by Lord
and his wife (step mother Of the girl) show
ing that her situation was too delicate and
critical to admit Of her appearance as
witness.
On Monday March 22d, Mary Ellen Lord
died. This event occurring very suddenly,
none of the neighbors aware of the illness,
and no physician having been called, with
other strange and unusual circumstances,
and occurring, too, at about the time which
her parents had fixed as probable for her
confinement, excited suspicion that the girl

Of the neighbo;s, a coroner and jury were
called and legal INVESTIGATION gone into
(before burial Of the body as to the cause
Of her death. After inquiry the jury found
a verdict that she came to her death from
violence, at the hands Of her father, Edmund
Lord, and his wife, and these parties were
arrested and lodged in Jail at Milford,
where they are now confined. Two or
three days after, at the instance Of some
who were not satisfied with the result Of
the investigation, another .coroner's jury
was summoned, the body disinterred, and
the case again investigated The second
jury did not agree upon a verdict.
The post norton examination of the body
revealed one fact OF grave Importance in
the case. which weighs heavily in the pub

physicians who conducted the examination,

it was evident that such could never have

her death, which is not worth viii to re-

1t appears that on the arrival of the de-
tachment of the Is Ilighanders at that
"place cf skulls" Cawnpore, after the mas
sacre of our countrymen, women and chill
dren, they by some means or other found
the remains Of one of Gen. Walkers daugh-
tiers. The sight was horrible, and arous ed
them to that pitch that, gathering around,
they took the hair from off the poor girls
head, portion Of which was carefully Sc
lected and sent home to her surviving
friends. The remainder they equally di.
vided amongst themselves: and on each
man receiving his carefully served out por.
ton, they all quietly and very patiently ap-
piled themselves to the tedious task of
counting ont the number of hairs contained
in each individuals lot, and when this task
was accomplished, they one and all swore
solemnly that as many hairs as they had in
their fingers, SO many Of the cruel and
treacherous mutineers should die by their
handsl-an oath that they will. no doubt,
most relgiously keep.-Hong Kong paper.

Singing la spurgeon's Church.
The prayer concluded, Mr.. Spurgeon gave ont
the we'll known hymn beginning
Rnfnre Lehovnh's nMfnl throneU

The prayer concluded, Mr.. Spurgeon gave ont
the well known hymn beginning
Before j hovah's awful throne"
He read it through, having first announced
that the tune would be the Old Hundreth,' and
then read each verse separately before it was
sung. 1t is scarcely possible to give any idea OF
the sublime effect produced by those ten thou
sand voices as they sweled the massive barmo
MES of that grand tune with fuliness of breath
rarely heard. After singing the second verse
Mr.. Spurgeon said, will read the third verse
and you will sing the fourth, and let the uplifting
of your voices be as the sound of many waters 7
His audience responded to his Wish. The words
of the verse were
Well crowd Thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the Heavens our voices raise
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues.
Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.
Most magnificent was the shout of praise that
now went up. Not voice was mute, save where
occasionally some ones nerves were Overpowered
by the massive rolling chorus that lose on every
side. Never did we so realize what congrega.
tional singing ight become. 1t was All uplifting
of voice and heart, such as one can hope to hear
only few times in the course Of life. Much of
this grand effect was no doubt owing to the ma
jesty of tune itself-much to the fact that all the
congregation knew it--some thing to the exciting
effect OF numbers-and perhaps not little to the
practice Of reading each before it is sung,
practice we have always thought very reason
ably one, especially amongst the poor and those
who cannot read.

[From the Springfield Republican,
COVER THE RIVER

Over the river they beckon TO me
Loved ones whove crossed TO the further side
The CLEAN of the snowy robes see,
But their voices are drown'd by the rushing tide
There's one with ringlets of sunny gold.
And eyes, the reflection of heavens own blue
He crossed in the twilight, gray and cold.
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view,
We saw not the angels that me, him there;
Tho gate of the city we could not see -
Over the river, over the river,
Ny brother stands waiting to welcome me
Over the river the boatmen pale
Carried another-the household pet;
Her brown curls waved in The gentle gale
Darling Mnnei l see her yeti
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark !
We watched it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know she is safe on the further side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be
Over the river, the mystic river,
Ny chidhood's idol is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatmen cold and pale
We hear the dip of the golden oars.
And catch CLEAN of the snowy SAIL
And 10 they have passed from our yearnine
hearts
They cross the stream and are gone for aye;
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our visions the gates of day.
We only know that their barks no more
May sail with US DER life's stormy sea,
Yet somewhere, l know, on the unseen shore,
They watch, and beckon, and wait for me !
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river, and hill and shore,
shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list for the sound of the boatmens oar
] shall watch for CLEAN Of the tapping sail,
! shall hear the boat as it gains the strand
shall pass from sight with the boatmen pale,
To the better shore of the spirit land.
shall know the loved who have gone befofe,
And oyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The angel of Death shall carry me.
