EIGHT CHILDREN AT A BIRrH.-A CORES


EIGHT CHILDREN, AT BIRTH.-A cores
pond of the n Y. Tribune writing from
Trumbun county, Ohio, says that Mrs.
Timothy Bradley of that county, gave birth
on the I'd inst, to eight children, three boys
and five girls, all of whom are living. The
mother was married to her present husband
six years ago, when she weighed 275 lbs.
She has given birth on two occasions before
to twins. 1t seems strange, but neverthe-
less is true. Mrs. Il. was twin of three,
her mother and father both being twins,
and her grandmother the mother of five
pairs of twins. Mrs. B. has named her boys
after noted and distinguished men: One after
the Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, who has given
her splendid gold medal; one after the
Rev. Hon. Elijah Champlin, who gave her a
deed of SO acres Of land, and the other after
James johnson, Esq, who gave her a COW.
Mr. Bradley says it is profitable to have
twins, as the neighbors have clothed the
others ever since they were born. Mr.. B. is
a poor, industrious lsborer, but says he will
not part with any of his children, while he
is able to work

ers to salutary punishment.

HALL OF REPRESENTATIVES. last
Congress ordered all the desks to be removed
from the Hall of Representatives at Wash
ington, in order, if possible, to compel MEM
bers to give their attention to business, in
stead of writing letters during the daily
sessions of the House. The work is nearly
finished. The sofas, which are to take the
place of the chairs, have not been placed, as
yet, in their positions. The rows of seats
arise above each other on the same elevation
as before, but the space is circumscribed
nearly one-hslG and the members will be
seated much more comfortably and conve-
niently for the transaction of business. The
vacant spaces to the right and left of the
Speakers chair, occasioned by the new ar
rangement will be occupied with large
writing tables, and all the necessary appli-
ances. There was no such provision as
this in the resolution making the change,
yet it is assumed highly necessary.

RA. Mr.. Hillard, in letter from Liver
pool, to the Boston Courier. states that in
the examination of travellers luggage, by
the officers of customs, American reprints
of English books are absolutely excluded /;
they are taken away and destroyed. Thack-
cray was, in this way, deprived of his copies
of the Apploton's reprints of his own works.
This is the way in which England carries
ont her professed free trade principles. In
printing, the American press can under
work the English, and, therefore, American
printed books are prohibited.

s6- 4 correspondent urges US to again
all the attention of our citizens TO the con-

Call the attention OF our citiIeuS 10 eue cou-
dition of our disorganized Fire Department.
The city is entirely without any protection
against the ravages of fire, and the Insur-
ance Companies are threatening, if this state
of affairs be not remedied, to advance their
premiums % or so per cent. If this be
done, it will levy tax on the property and
business of the city, greater in amount than
can be saved by the most vigorous and judi
cious municipal administration. Our cor
respondent thinks there is a cnlpable apathy
on the part of the people in relation to the
subject. The autumnais fast approaching,
when fires will be resumed in every occu-
pied shop and room, and the season for con-
hagrations will begin. The old firemen
are Disguised with their treatment, and
keep entirely aloof from the engines un-
der the control of the city. As evidence
of what we have to expect, he describes a
scene witnessed few days ago, in an at
tempt made by the new chief engineer of
the Department, assisted by some of his
friends in the Council, to try the condition
of one of the old engines. After great
deal of putting, sweating, and pulling, the
ponderous old foggy machine was gotten out,
and prepared by the new hands at the
pumps, to show her powers of squirting

An Awful Retrihution.

Some time last spring companYof Pixies
Peakers left GRANVILLE, Illinois, for the Kan
sas gold regions. While travelling through
the Indian country, on their way out, one
OF the company, young man of desperate
character from the vicinity of GRANVILLE
named Haynes, declared his determination
to shoot the FIRST Indian he met; and
unhappily, during the day they over
took, ON .ibe prairie, defenceless squaw,
when he, in mere wicked wantonness, level
ed his gun and shot her dead. His COM
panions were horror stricken at'the blood
thirsty deed, but felt that they-had no power
to punish him.. The tribe to which the
squaw belonged was not far distant when the
deed was perpetrated. They discovered her
lifeless body, and saw at once the manner of
her death. They pursued the party of IL
linois Pixies Peakers, and in few hours
overlook them, and demanded to know who
had committed the murder.
The company of FIVE or six Peakers found
themselves surrounded by nearly two hum
dred enrage1 Indians, who threatened to
immediate the whole party if they did not
point out and give up the murderer. To
save their own lives, they gave up Haynes
to their vengeance. He was taken by the
Indians to a distance, while his companions
tarried on their route to sec what would be
his fate. After while the Indians returned,
with their victim literally fayed alive
They had skinned him from head to foot
The wretched being was still alive when
brought back to his companions, but in tor
ments worse than hell fire. He lived in
agony long enough TO tell how he had been
tortured, but was soon released by death
from unspeakabls sufferings. Terrible as
the revenge was, few can say it was not de-
served. We learn these particulars from q
gentleman who read the letter from one o.
the company, giving the details of the awfu
tragedy.

TIE ADMINISTRATION AND MExIco.-A
etter from WASHINGTON saws IL Is well as

The ADMINISTRATION AND AMExIco.-A
letter from Washington says il is well as
certained that the President has sent in
structions to Mclean, insisting upon a ces-
sion of Lower California by Mexico, in adj
dition to stipulations in the proposed project
respecting Tehuantepec and Sonora, and
proposing the assumption by the United
States, of the payment of claims of our citi-
Gems against Mexico, to be settled by COM
mission; and the payment, in addition, Of
some millions Of dollars to Mexico for such
cession, and other stipulations men
toned. 1t is understood that Mr.. McLane
is to press the cession Of Lower California
as a sine qua non, and to exhibit his instruc-
tions on that point. 1t is supposed that this
viii secure the ultimate acquiescence of
Jaurez and his Ministers, and the Liberal
party generally, and that material aid fur
nished by the Federal Government to the
Liberal party will enable it to triumph over
all opponents, and establish itself as the per-
manent Government of Mexico. This can
not however, be procured directly from the
Government of the United States, till Con-
gress has made an appropriation for that
object. No money, whatever, can be APP
propriated by Congress in anticipation of
any treaty of any kind, and it is not proba-
BILE that such appropriations, if granted by
the next Congress, could be obtained before
the middle of January.
