grant of seventy-two Fifth avenue lots to
a Roman Catholic Institution, says: y Z p

"What makes the case more aggravated
is the more important fact that when. the

as Fifteth street to find land to build up
on, the corporation charged the Institu-
ton, aud compelled them to pay the full
value of this land, while it gave away

the same Fiftieth street to the Roman
Catholics merely for the asking" II was
a charitable institution for giving voice to
the speechless, and hearing to the deaf, in

SENATOR SUMNER.-The Advertiser
makes the following statement in regard
to the case of Senator Sumner
at viii be recollected that after the
prolonged application of fire to the spine,
last summer, an interval of two months
was prescribed by the physicians in order
to give time TO judge of its effects. That
interval having elapsed, Mr.. Sumner re-
turned to Paris, where he found the ply
sicians charmed with the progress and
the prospect for the future On the day
succeeding that on which this letter was
written. consultation of physicians
would be held, consisting of DR.. Trous-
seau, the most eminent practitioner in
Paris; DR.. George Hayward, our towns
man. and DIR. Brown-Sequard. They
would decide whether the fire treatment
must be continued. On the result of thi:
consultation depend Mr.. Summers future
movements"

LORENZO BOWS COMPLETE WORKS.
This is a magnificent volume of some
500 large, well printed pages, and bound
in the binders best style. We cannot
properly thank the donor Chester Brown
of Craftsbury) for this acceptable pres
ent. Lorenzo Dow has a reputation that
is world wide, and was one of the stran-
gest men-the most eccentric genius that
America or any other country has pro-
duced. That such a man as he should
choose the profession of clergyman
seems curious. He entered the ministry
at the early age of eighteen and contin-
ued in it till his death which occurred
about the year 1882. His oddly was
born with him, and he bore it through
life and into the grave. But his genius
did not all lay in eecentrieity; he had a
sound, logical mind, as is abundantly
shown from reading the work before Us.
He was also great traveller, and II is
said that he travelled more miles and Wis
tied more countries than any minister
since the days of WhitefeId. His char
acter was a strange mixture of the grave
and the gay, of the puritan and the clown

Petuate the memory of those heroes who
have died battling for their country and
the race, whether upon the blood stained
field where thousands have contended for
the mastery, or in the halls of the patton

very chains clank in the ear. We say a
monument should be reared in honor OF
such heroes. But how much more ought
those physicians to be remembered who
have given years Of unremitting toll to
compound medicine that viii alleviate

MURDER IN BROwNNGTON.-Quite
an excitement has been produced in
Bloomington lately, resulting from the
disinterment of the body of Miss Leafy
Drown, for examination by medical men,
as suspicious had for some time been en-
tertained that she had met with foul play.
1t appears that the deceased had been at
work in West Charleston some time pre-
vious, and that she had come home to her
parents sick in September, where she re-
manned until she died in November
From circumstances brought to light be-
fore she came home it was supposed that
she was about 10 become a mother; that
by the agency Of some person or persons
interested an abortion had been produced
which served the double purpose of kill
I ing mother and child. Suspicion settling
thus, the body was taken from the grave
and an examination ordered, when the
/ fact of an abortion was proven; who the
guilty ones were was also proven to the
satisfaction of every person present, the
not sufficient evidence was brought tt
light to warrant State prosecution
At the examination of witnesses TIT
mouths of both father and mother wer,
hermetically sealed against revealing an!
thing that would tend TO throw light upol
the authors of this great crime. Tn
mother testified under oath that she di,
not know what allied her daughter, an,
that she never asked.

About the same time bill was passed
paying this same Silloway $500 in addi-
ton TO Sl,750 he had received, which
latter sum was shown before the commit
tee on public buildings to be too much by
hundreds of dollars. Such squander-
ing of the public money on fayorites,
while the town of Huntington in ruins,
was turned away empty, is reprehensi-
bic and wicked.
But we have extended our remarks to
twice the length we intended. We do
not think the last Legislature adjourned
with much credit to the State or honor to
themselves, and we may as we'll say so
bluntly. As for the State House, we
hope some patriotic people may be found
who will supply the necessary means for
completing it forthwith, and we have no
doubt but that it will be done. We do
not consider that it would be bad invest
ment, for sooner or later, Vermont will
pay every dollar for her own public build
ings, and her sons in the capacity of legis-
tors will sit in her olra capitol, even if ii
be not until all who have stirred up this
strife. shall slumber with the dead.

WASHINGTON MATTERs.-The cor
respondence of the Baltimore american
has the following items:
1.-The President has expressed himself
decidedly opposed to any proposition for
protecting slave property in the Terri
tories by Congress, as a violation of the
principle of non-interyertion, and as in
imical to the Cincinnati platform, and
there is reason to believe that he is fully
sustained in this view by the Southern
members of his Cabinet"
The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press says:
Il know already two Republican Sen.
ators who intend to denounce, on the
floor of the Senate, the Rochester speech
of Governor Seward, and take it fol
granted they are not all of that party
who will do so.
The Administration is expecting heavy
assaults upon it on the score of lavish
expenditure, and, indeed, seem to thinE
that will be the great string on which tn,
opposition intend to play this coming
session, and for the campaign of 1860"

e. Senator Seward says that the
Northern Democracy are more reckless
advocates Of slavery than the slavehold-
ers themselves: and facts often seem to
support the assertion. For instance
the Alexandria (Va.) Gazette says:
The last speech of jefferson Davis
wins him no laurels among conservative
men, North or South. As a matter OIL
course, it is generally censured.'
In remarkable contrast with this, the
Psnnsylvanion, of Philadelphia, in an
article which is endorsed by the regular
Democratic organ Of this city, says:
The peryading characteristic Of Sen
ator Davis's speech is regard and veneer
alton for the Union, and attachment ID
those great constitutional principles upon
the maintenance Of which its perpetuity
depends

The BERKs ELECTIoN.-The last
election in Berks county, Pennsylvania,
is more remarkable than the preceding.
The majority is much greater, and the
character of the opposition candidate
makes the victory more marked rebuke
to the administration. The Pennsylva-
MAN (Buchanan's organ) says:
at will not be alleged that Gen. Keim
is Democrat. He has been a lifelong
and consistent opponent of Democratic
men and measures. He was nominated
by the opposition, ran as their candidate,
the exponent and defender of their prin-
ciples, and the bitter antagonist of every
doctrine of the Democratic party. He
does not differ with the party alone on the
Kansas policy of Mr.. Buchanan, which
was the only point the opponents of Mr.
zones effected to antagonist the national
organization upon. Gen. Keim is full
| feathered Black Republican, and stands
beside Seward on the Rochester platform
Yet this man was voted for and elected
by men claiming to be Democrats, ant
some of whom are holding Office under
the State administration"

From Japan.

The following extracts from q letter
written by Mr.. Harris, the enterprising
Consul General at Japan, to an officer OF
the Navy who was in the Japan Expedi-
ton. will be read with interest:
~. S. CONSULATE GENERAL,
Simoda, Japan, July II.
Dear Sir: Your letter of March 0,
1857, did not reach me until the goth OF
August last. The reason l have not
written you in reply before this is that l
have had no opportunity of dispatching
any letters since the 11th of September,
1857: and am even now quite ignorant
of the time shall be able to forward you
this.
l have suffered much from i'll health
since my arrival here, which has almost
paralyzed my efforts in collecting objects
of natural history. l am now recovering
and hope soon TO be quite well.
l have visited the city of Yedo twice,
and have had an audience of the Emper-
or. passed nearly sac months in Yedo,
during my two visits, and succeeded at
last in making commercial treaty that
fully opens Japan to our enterprising
citizens, and brings Japan fairly into the
great family of nations. OF course l
cannot give you the particulars of the
treaty until it has been approved by
government, but I may be permitted to
remark that when the treaty shall be
published, it will show was not forget
full of our navy.
Yedo is large city of two-story
wooden buildings. The streets are gen.
orally wide and well severed, but are
not paved. 1t is probable that the pop
ulation is between 100000 and 2,000.-
900. There is neither beauty nor SPLEEN
dor to be found there. The exterior Of
the houses is the same as those you saw
at Simoda and Kanagawa, and the int.
riors are quite as destitute of furniture
or ornament. Even the palace of the
Emperor is built of implanted wood, and
is equally bare of any furniture. The
golden columns and roofs spoken of by
old writers have vanished, if they ever
existed, and am assured by the Japan
ase that their buildings and mode of liv
ing are precisely the same they have
been for the last five hundred years.

WASHINGTON, Dec. G.

New Orleans papers of Thursday last
are received, containing Mexican news.
Tobasco, which was the only part of Mex
leo left in possession of the Zuloagistas,
had fallen into the hands of the Liberals,
after fighting for seventeen days; only
seven men were killed on both sides.
Gen. CARA left Tampico on the 22d
of November for Pueblo Viejo, and parts
unknown, but it was supposed that he had
gone to consult with the President, re.
specting the Spanish claim.
A gentleman just from Nicaragua in.
formed the editor of the Mobile Register
on Wednesday, that the government
would not permit passengers by Col
Whites steamers to pass through the
country, and that it had determinedly re-
solved not to allow that Company TO have
the Transit. The informant is w. P
Kirkland, planter in Nicaragua, who il
stated to be perfectly reliable.
A movement was being made in New
Orleans to establish line of propeller
between New Orleans and Havana.
