opposite the German Catholic Church, while
backing to the outer depot. The cars came in
contract with the wall around the Church, de-
molishng about twenty or twenty-five feet of
il, which is built of brick twelve inches thick
upon 4 stone foundation. Had it not have

Tar Ir.-One of the most delightful deserts
that can be had, is easily prepared and CO sts
very little. Take dozen Of oranges, remove
the skins, and slice them, horizontally, into
thin slices; carefully pick out the seeds; put
layers of fine sugar and OF ange,slices, alter
nately, into . deep dish. Let the fruit stand .
few hours, and then-well, you'll need no di-
rections, for you will find that you have dish,
where acid. saccharins and orange favors are
mingled; and with it before you, you will not
envy Jupiter his ambrosia, nor fear the attacks
Of spring-feyer.

committed suicide, FIRST writing q note in Ger
man to his tickle, but not frail fair one. But
the arsenic didn't work, and the next day be
took ten grains and wrote another letter. That
failed TO kill him, and the next day he took fii-
teen graius and wrote another letter to Katrina,
But that failed to kill him. and the next day be
took twenty grains, and wrote another letter!
and for nine days he has been taking arsenic,
increasing his dose Eve grains day, till he is
actually getting Eat on it, notwithstanding the

The Union Of Wednesday remarks that, ''if
the Democracy cannot prevail against such .
party as the Republican, it is because its Organi-
zation is demorslzed, its integrity questionable,
its honor doubtful, and its character bad" IL
goes on to say:
How is it that the Democratic party stands
trembling before this Felix OF sectonalsm p
How is it, if We are right, patriotic and national,
that our ascendency is questioned by an organi-
cation which is equally without merit or politi.
cal fairness? Has . cold scl6shness, . wicked
pursuit of individual ends, disregard of the
national welfare, taken the place Of that earnest
patriotism and devotion to country which dis
tinguished the earlier days OF the Democratic
party!"
These questions imply their own answers-
The Union goes on to observe that We have had
enough of great men, who have great personal
objects TO accomplish, and 'treat measure az
it may happen to bear upon their own interest,",
and upon the fortunes Of rivals. One goes cas-,
when he sees another going west. Ambitious
combinations are the curse Of the Democratic
party. They have tainted ts integrity, demor-
allied it, weakened it, and rendered it doubt
ful ANTAGONIST, even against the oren enemies
Of the Unien."
