TIE OCEAN MAIL STEAMER QUESTION The
subject Of the future policy Of this Government
with reference to ocean mail steamer contracts
must be definitely settled by the present Con-
gress. Its importance, all American legislative
statesmen comprehend. There is no escape
from the duty Of its prompt solution for most
of the important contI acts Of the kind are soon
to expire. In view of that fact we publish
herewith brief extract from the Pennsylva-
nian of the day before yesterday, which sheds
real light upon the comparative service rem
dered under our system and that of our great
rival on the ocean, and the relative cost Of the
two, as follows:
"CoMMERcK-Ocean steam navigation Is an
essential condition Of the development Of Of our
facilities which fast steamers afford for mail and
passenger trans portation, and diplomatic inter-
course with the countries with which we trade,
our commerce and the various bra nc hes of indus
~ connec'ed with It, must necessarily sn6er.

states, acknowledging, as we do the Justice OF

full Of danger to our interests, which we N az

OBITUARY.

HxxRY 8. SsARsucK, . few days ago was in thu
active discharge of duty. His body nov lies in
the cold grave. and his soul is with the Father o.
Spirits. To the mass Of this busy community h
was unknown, for his pursuit was that which had
never attracted the attention and respect Il de-
served He was the senior teacher Of the Adama
City School, and did the work
"Deputsd BY the parent. still unchsersd
by that rich flial love, whose magic works
All burdens light"
BY his earnest and faithful attention TO the school,

''Strove TO blend the glow
Of glsdness with bis discipline, aud urge
Duty by love-remembering how the blood new,
Coursed through his own quick veins when life wa
Nor made the isthmus tween the boy and mau
bridge Of sighs"
His department was moral and upright and his
regular presence in the Bible class Of the churches
on the Sabbath, lends to the hope that he may
have been sincere and humble pupil of the Great
Master.
II may be an alienation to the grief of his dis
tant parents to know, that little while before he
ceased to breathe he expressed his interest in the
and longed to be in position that would enable
him to make more smooth the pathway of their de-
clining years. y. u. N.

hausted, when some employee of the compa-
ny will take the document and push forward
with all possible speed.

sion of mails and passengers. 1t is re-
ported that he contemplates changing the
present service to the tri-weekly.

to very conflicting opinions. The crop Of
opium will not be sufficient, it appears, to a-
ford China its usual supplies, and silver win

On the other hand it is stated that the imports
into England from the East Indies and China

A letter from Valentia, Nov. 21st, states
that the large shore end Of the Atlantic Cable
was laid on the previous Friday. Five miles
were laid and it is believed that If the seven
miles still at Greenwich had been added to it
the result would have been satisfactory After
passing the spot where the shore end united,
some Of the men in their anxiety to continue
the undermining Of the small cable, discov-
cred kink where the conducting wire was
exposed to the water. The defective part was
cut out and the underrunning discontinued,
though it is probable that other defects Of the
kind would have been discovered The cable
was not tested after the shore end had been
attached, nor was there anybody at valenta
capable Of doing it.

it was certainly the Pioneer in size, complex.

type. The people thought it was intended as
photograph of the Times political position
Republican IN its face but Democratic in its

been long anticipated; and this getting into

presume that the moccasin union has now

A CATTLE THEY IN JAIL.--On Monday ev-
ening Chief Crosby and Officer Gooding ar
rested . man known as Bill Hill, and an ac-
complice, at his residence (the farm of Mrs.
Kesser, on the Little Canada road) on the
charge of stealing and butchering valuable
COW belonging to a Mr.. Newton, residing in
the same neighborhood. They searched Mrs
KS house thoroughly, and found the meat,
hide, &C., or most of it, slowed away under
the floor Of shed, and in barrel in the house.
The evidence otherwise was most conclusive.
The tracks made by the culprits in driving
the cow across the untrodden fields were plain
ly traced, and the marks Of the killing and cut
ting up were easily distinguishable. But no
MIR. Hill was to be found the bird had flown.
Capts. Crosby and Gooding, however, traced
the culprit out the Columbus road, and after
hard driving overlook Hill at Travis's, about
18 miles from st. Paul. He attempted to run
but Capt Gooding overhauled him, and in a
short time the prisoner was slowed away in
the City Jail.
| The COW was very valuable one-wortl
about $7o 1t seemed that Hill and his part
ner had taste for pork also, as large hog
was found loose, and the pen broke down, bu'
they probably could not succeed in getting
him off,
The evidence appearing very conclusive

transaction, were committed to the cells, ir
default of $1,000 bail, to answer for the of

the whole credit Of issuing the message to
