lT The following was sung by the children
of the ORPHANS HOME, as one Of the exercises

II Saturday:
THE ORPHANS PRAYER.
"Hear, hear, o God, the orphans prayer,
lis breathed in tears to Thee;
Watch DER them with Thy holy care,
And their Protector be.
Bestow on them Thy heavenly grace,
That they may know Thy ways,
And after death, may see Thy face,
And sing Thine endless praise.
Oh, Heavenly Father, dry their tears,
Their sinking hearts uphold;
Teach them how vain are all their fears,
And keep them in Thy fold.
This is our yearly jubilee
A happy, happy day,
When once again our friends we see,
TO cheer us on our way.
Our thanks we give to those most dear,
Who labor for our veal;
To all our wants who minister
With neyer-tiring zeal.
And those we thank, who cheerfully
Our minds supply with food,
For which they'd have us strive to be,
Not great, but chiefly good.
And shall we their kind wish deny,
Their expectations blight!
Oh no! but earnestly will try
To do whate'r is right.
This is our yearly jubilee
A happy, happy day"

A RAT SToRY.-The Scotsman newspaper
relates the following curious case of the recov-
cry Of lost marriage ring "About the end
of July or the beginning of August last, a
woman named Catherine Ferguson, the wifeof
miner named Mclean, at Clifton, near the head
of Loeb Lomond, lost her marriage ring whilst
engaged in putting in or building peats, and,
Notwithstanding every search was made for
it at the time, it could not be found About a
fortnight ago the cat brought rat into the
house, and around the neck of the rat was the
missing marriage ring. 1t is supposed, as rats
are known to carry eff coins or pieces of sill
yer or gold, that the ring had been taken to
the rats nest, where it had gone over the neck
OF one of the young ones, and remained there
until the animal had advanced to growth, and,
curiously enough, had been captured by the
cat Mrs. Mclean, who had been about year
married, was no less rejoiced in getting pos
session again of her lost ring than surprised at
the very singular way in which it was recov-

BURNING NEGRO AT THE STAKE.-A cor
respondent of the Maysville Eagle describes
the recent burning of negro at Troy, KY,
for the murder of his master. The fearful
tragedy took place on New Years day, when
the annual negro sales take place. and there
was an unusually large collection of people at
Troy. The negro was taken from the Jail by
mob, who were instigated thereto by James
Galway, a brother of the murdered man, who
made speech urging the people to burn the
negro as an example to the other negroes
The occurrences after the mob had battered
down the Jail doors and obtained the negro, are
thus narrated
"They marched him to the centre of the
Jail yard, drove down large stake, and chain
ed him, in an erect position, hand and foot, fast
to the stake. There was an abundance of
shavings and finesplit wood piled around him.
This consumed some half an hour. During
this time, the negro talked to the negroes that
gathered around him. Then the torch was
applied, and he seemed TO be entirely indiffer-
ent about IL until the flames began to burn as
high as his knees Then he began to twist,
and snort, aud groan, and in about minute
more he began to scream. He gave some of
the most hideous screams that ever heard
come from any human being.
could not stand to see any more, and left.
When left, the flames were burning as high
as his head was only a spectator-had no
hand either for or against. / think that there
were some 1900 TO 1000 people to witness this
dreadful scene, and 200 or 300 negroes"

FROM WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S
The bills establishing territorial governments
for Arizona, Dacotah, and Jefferson, were to-
day introduced by Mr.. Stephens in the House,
on his own notice. They are not, therefore, re-
ports from the Committee on Territories,
though exactly similar to those agreed to in the
committee, excepting the name of the Platte
River country, which in his bill is called JEFF
ferson, instead of Tohosa, as adopted by the
committee. Jefferson runs from the 101st de-
gree to the Rocky Mountains, and from the
43d degree to the Mexican line. The object of
introducing the bills in this way was 10 have
them printed, so that when the Committee on
Territories is reached in the calendar, the bills
then reported can be put on their passage, the
House IN the meantime having the opportunity
to read them.
1t Is understood that Republican members
from various States have notified Mr.. Phelps,
Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee''
that no help can be expected from them to adj

some plan is reported from the committee by .
which the expenses thus incurred shall be met
without an increase ofthe national debt. This
