Lat. accounts from the Rio Grande repre-
sent affairs there as in a deplorable state
Cortinas and his band of Mexican bandits,
reinforced by number of escaped conyicts,
were ravaging the country in every direction.
They entered the town of Brownsville on the
Goth ult., and created great CONSERVATION.
On the Oath the citizens, to the number of
one hundred and twenty, with artillery, at
tackled the bandits, but were subsequently
drawn into an ambuscade, when a desperate
fight ensued, which resulted in the total de-
feat OF the attacking party. Cortinas threa-
tened to destroy Brownsville and its inhab-
itants with FIRE and sword if his demands
were not complied with. The Mayer of the
town has appealed to New Orleans for help
in this crisis.

The Jsaoish National Board of Represen-

conclusion that their affairs would be much
benefited by the organization of National
Board of Representatives to attend to the
general interests of the Israeites in the
United States. They have formed Com
mittee in New York and drawn up the fol-
lowing plan, which they recommend to the
attention of the Jewish congregation
throughout the country:
Two delegates to be elected from ecah con-
greg ation, to be divided into two classes to
serve one and two years respectively.
The first delegates to be elected at special
general meeting of each congreg alton and
subsequently at such time and in such man
ner as the congregation may direct.
The Board, when organized, to form its
own Constitution and Bylaws, and select
its name and title.
The expenses to be betrayed by contribu-
ton from the congregations represented, in
such ratio as the Board NAV determine.
The Board to take cognizance of temporal
affairs only, and in no case to interfere with
the internal administration of the Synago-
CUES.
The Board to lay an annual report of its
proceedings before constituents.
The first meeting of the Board to be held
at Cooper's Institute, in the city Of New
York, on Sunday, the first day of Kisley.

OscULAToRY CALF-SK1N.-Two copies of the
Holy Bible are kept on the desk in the May
or's office-one to be used in the administra-
ton of oaths of whites, the other for the ad-
ministration of oaths to negroes. The latter
is very much worn, and both have been used
for great many years. They have been
kissed We know not, how oft. Lips whose
ambrosal sweetness any man might desire
to sip have "imprinted" kisses upon the least
abraded volume, and the same binding has
been profaned by the labial tou CHI amber, or
the fumes of villanous alcohol. The books
have been timidly kissed by some, and
''smacked" by Others with a loud report, re-
sembling the crack Of whip. They have
been kissed by witnesses who designed to tell
''the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the TRUTH" and by others, who, without the
fear of God, or the Devil before them, in
wardly resolved to perjure themselves If
any person had as many dollars as times
these two volumes have been kissed, he would
be as erich as Croesus."
Look Our FOR THE SwINDLER.-As every
body who has except boarders" will tell you,
human nature is very deceitful. The exper
fence of boarding house keepers is purga-
toria, Christening, and by no means calculat-
cd to bring about an exalted idea of human
perfection In many cases the relation be-
tween landlady and boarder is diamond
out-diamond sort of relationship. The land
lady saves in all possible ways by stuttng her
ducks with offal, converting scraps into
tricasees, reproducing cold steak in the shape
of "beef steak pie" and in-serving the re-
fuse of the bread in the shape of stuffing for
scrawny shoulders of mutton and ala mode
beef. The boarders retaliate, but too often
by ignoring the payment of their bills, and
ultimately vamose to avoid payment, when
ioi 'uet PROMISES nave Deen proven value

But there is a class of swindlers whose
study is to obtain board without payment,
and who invariably detraud their entertain
ers out of that for which they have received
handsome equivalent One genius we re-
member, who, by removing from one house
to another, lived tor more than two wears at

OXFORD HALL.-The Marsh Troupe last
night presented that sublime spectacle dra-
ma of the ".Sea of Ice," and if ever we were
pleased with their performances we were
last night doubly pleased. To us the Sea of
Ice Is the finest, most complete for chastity
OF expression, and for dramatic effect, of
all plays now upon the American stage. The
sablimity of the vast floating icebergs and
the brilliant glare of the Northern Light.
together with the splendid surrounding seen
cry, and the wonderful escapes, and fna,
answering of the orphans prayer, ending
with such well-earned retribution to wrono
and reward to right, all combine to make
it Ito our taste) the ne plus ultra of the
stage.
Tonight the Maniac Lover and the Bur
iesque operatic Drama, Beauty and the
Beast are to be presented, and all who wish
to enjoy themselves and witness one of the
pest bills of the season, should certainly visit
Oxford Hall tonight.
