The Italian Sovereigns are now physically
indsposed: The Pope has been suffering
from Che effects OF cold caught in one Of
his daily walks, and at first neglected. He
is not, however, in any danger. The Grand
Duke of Tuscanyis laid up from the effects
of an accident received at recent military
review, where his horse got testite and
bruised the royal rider against gun car
riage. He is in no danger. Then there
is the King of Naples, fast recovering from
his recent attack, and. although wellenough
to see after state affairs, still under the
hands of the royal leeches.

WHITE PATRIDGEs.-Th Quebec Mer
curry says that white patridges have made
their appearance in that region this winter.
The indians report them plenty at the
Sagueuay, where they never were seen be-
fore. Their bill differs in shape from that
Of the brown partridge, and they are also
very thckly feathered down the talons like
'bantams.' Many years ago the first one
then known was presented TO Lord Aylmer.
In 1874, also, they made their appearance,
and again are met with on all sides. The
three lately killed were preserved as Curl
osties in the Museum Of Quebec Historical
Society.

Tive CHILDREN BURNT TO DEATH---Two
children of Mr.. Siever Baker, of Parma,
in this county, boy and girl, 'enes aged one
year, and the other two and half years,
were burned to death on Monday evening
last. The parents were both absent from
the house at the time about six O'clock }
the father being at the barn, and the mother
at nelghbor's house. The cause of this
terrible accident is not fully kDown.s 1t is
supposed that the clothes OF the oldest child
took fire from the stove, and running into
an adjoining bed-room, where the other
child was in bed sleeping, set FIRE to the bed,
and both were consumed. The parents,

the house, where they discovered the bed
clothes on fire, and the little ones SO badly
burnt that they died during the same night.

STATE OF THE FEDERAL TREAsURY.-
The Treasury is so nearly empty that ii is
evident the Administration will soon be
wanting another Loan. There are 10000
900 dollars already authorized, which The
Government will commence drawing upon
as soon as the bids are accepted; but this
will not serve to keep them in funds long.

ded as permanent one, =

FIRST quarter OF the present fiscal year were
but 25 $50 S7e dollars, Of which 10 600, 900
dollars was borrowed. The estimated. re-
ceipts for The rest OF the year are 50 ,5oo,-
600 doliars-[an exaggerated ses:imamte,
