The HEAD OF OLIVER CROMwELL.-A
writer il the New York O5ssrCer claims that
he has seen ana handled the head Of the re-
nowned Oliver Cromwell. which Is IN posses
sion ola daughter OF Hon. Mr.. WlkIn-0n.
an ex memoer of Pertinent, residing at
Bromley. Kent. near London. The d Gu
mentlry and traditionIry evidence OF its ge-
nuineness Is said to be conclusive. although
nearly two centuries have elapsed since the
death of the republican king. Cr0mwelIs
BODY was embtimed and buried with great
p,mp in Westminster ABBEY. Alter the re-
st%orition Of the StuIrts the body was disin-
TERED. the head cut of, anu u PIKE staff
thrust through the neck. 1t was then placed
on Westminster Hall. 1t remained there a
considerable number Of years, until either
blown down by the wind or carried of oy
stealth. IL was secreted tor a long series u
wears. and handed down from generation 70
generation among the descendants OF Cr1m-
we'll. until it now rest in the custody
of the lady above mentioned. The remarka-
bic relic has been kept concealed from the
public. and only occasionally exhibited in
private, 50 that as vet little or nothing Is
known ofits existence in London, even among
men of position and influence. 1t IS thus
described
e The head having been embalmed, retains
the flesh in u shrivelled, dry st7te, but the
features are distinct. and the hair almOs- as
o rfect as at it's burial. The huge wart over
one IF the eyes, 5, historically true, is cl-ariy
distinct, and the resemblance To a bust, cop
lei from real life, which Is near by, carries
conviction OF the identity Of the head beyond
a misgiving. The iron pike which was thrust
through the throat and anne out at the top
Of the head, is rusted in. Its age and expo
sure have consumed the upper part,
and only a couple of inches of the iron
remain above the head. The wooden part
Is the pike was broken off just below the
throat. and the fracture shows that 1t was
fevered by violence and not cut asundsT by
an instrument.
Altogether, this singular memorial Of an
other age is in a better state OF preservation
than any of the embalmed Egyptians, and
so well preserved that there Is little that is hid
eous or repulsive. Flaxman, the eminent
sculptor, who has examined it with care, IN
connection with cOntemporansous busts and
portraits, unhesitatingly expressesentire con-
fdence that it is the head Of Oliver Crom-

The EcENT SLAVE RESCUE CASE IN ILLINOIS.
The following extract from a private letter
gives an amusing account of the slave rescue
case in Ottawa, Illinois
I'VE have had a slave rescue case here
with a different result from the Burns case
in Boston. was one of the counsel for the
slave, who was brought before Chief Justice
Cation Of the Supreme Court on a writ of
habeas corpus. He had been confined in
jill in the southern part of the State under
an act of our Legislature which had been
declared unconstitutional by our Supreme
Court.
Judge Cation discharged the negro from
the imprisonment under the State law, but
renanded him TO be held under the Commits
%sioner's Warrant.
There was a large crowd present at the
hearing. After the reasJ ms for his decision
were given, the Judge expressed his hopes
that the law would not be violated, &C., &C.,
making quite a good law and order speech.
Immediately upon the conclusion of it, a
man jumped upon Il table and moved that
the meeting resolve itself into a Committee
of the Whole to see that the laws be faith
fully executed, and that the man be returned
to slavery. The question was put and car
ried by a tremendous aye, which made the
Court House ring.
Thereupon the Deputy Marshal made a
little speech rendering his thanks to the
mover of the resolution and to the meeting

THE CONVENTION OF THE WEST
ERN VT. MUSICAL ASSOCIA-
TION.

A correspondent in Middlebury kindly
furnishes us with an original report Of the
Musical Convention there, one report of
which we have already published. We ex-
tract the following from his communication
Prot. B. F. Baker directed the exercises, and
it is safe to say that a more able, faithful and ju-
dicious person could not have been selected. Kind
and c~ourtsou. in his manners, he is thorough and
strict in drill and accurate and scientific in his in
structions. Mrs. Minnie Little, his assistant, was
all that could be desired. Her aaiusts and charm
ing simplicity Of manner left US in doubt whether
most to admire her sweetness fexibility and puri
ty Of voice as a singer or its graceful modulations
in social conversation.
The Concert deserves special commentator. 1t
was conceded by a large and not uncultivated au-
dienoe to be the best Of its kind ever enjoyed in
this vicinity. OF course Mrs. Little won the lau-
rels-but Messrs. Sabin and Thomas and Messrs.
Cady and Harris of Middlebury, Miss Marsh of
Underhill, and others. performed their parts with
fine taste and in some instances superior style.
The only fault of the Concert was negative; we
did not hear from Mr.. and Mrs. Partridge, Mr..
Toby and many others who could possibly have had
no excuse for such delinquency. Mr.. Mietzke of
Castleton, deserves credit for the brilliant solo on
the Piano, and Mr.. Moore of your town, displayed
such deIicacy Of taste and nicely of touch and
such modssty of department withal, as quite ex-
planned the secret of his popularity in Burlington.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to Mr.. Part
ridge, Mr.. Lyon. Mr.. Toby and other leading men
in this Association for the promptness and enter
prise, and their efficient management.
1 am sorry to know that some eye the Associa-
ton askance," whether " with jealousleer ma
lign" I cannot say. 1 assure such, that if they
attend one Convention they will go away wiser
and better men.

UNPLEASANT AFFAIR.-At a Newport clam.bak
given by Mr. Mercer, of New Orleans, were Col. Ma
gruder, the commander Of Fort Adams, and the Hon
David Sears, of Boston, with others. Col. Magruder
gave Mr., Sears as toast at the suggestion of the
host alter abiding to the war of 1872 and to the fact
that Col. Sears held commission. Mr.. Sears rose
and remarked that he had nothing to say, except
that he perfectly agreed with Mr. Randolph, that the
customs Of toast-giviug and speechmaking on such
occasions is more honored in the breach than in the
observance, and thereupon sat down. Col. Marruder
instantly rose and said, ~ repeat the toast give
you the health OF the Hon. David Sears glorious in
the breach - The Boston Advertiser says that the
affair will go no further and attributes Mr. Sears an
parent ncivlity to hardness of hearing, and COL Ma
gruders response to soldiers bluntness.
