SUMNER AND MAsoN.-In the Senate the
Sanborn outrage and the homestead bill di-
vide the time of the senator's. Sumner spoke
well Of the Sanborn matter, like himself years
ago. He is evidently reassumng the position
he formerly occupied in the Senate, and that
was the leading one, to which his intellect and
abilities entitled him. Mr.. Mason played his
usual part-that of the Virginian aristocrat.
1t would seem as if he were never quite salts
ned with himself unless his foot be upon the
neck OF either negro or white citizen of a
free state. He fully justified the outrages
committed by the officers at Concord After
wards, when the homestead bill was up, he
expressed more of his superabundant bile on
that measure-al it is supposed, because the
"servie states" are to be chiefly benefited by
the billy. Y. Eoening Post, April IL.

been for some time suffering from a loathsome
disease. AS he has been unable to recover by
the medical treatment he has received, both
himself and wife concluded that he had been
bewitched by an offensive woman named An

dent Of Roma, or few miles from Roma. Ma
rias Ramierez-the father of this Ambrosio
Ramierez, who is one of the wealthy Mexicans
on the river, owning large tract of land and
much stock on this sde-sent a party of men
to the house of the poor Antonio Alanis to
kidnap and take her to Camargo. This they
did in the most brutal manner. They lassoed
her and dragged her on the ground until they
feared she would die, and they not be able to
get her to Camargo.
They beat one Of her daughters badly, for
interfering to protect her poor mother shot at
another Tor the same reason but finally she.
ceeded in taking the old woman across at
Roma. She was taken to Camargo. severely
beaten, and her body stuck full of thorns of
prickly pear, and this beating, &C., repeated
as soon as she recovered sufficiently to be able
to endure 1t, for the space of two weeks. This
treatment Of the witch, however, did not i'm.
prove the health of the Calico, and the witch
doctor then told them they must burn her.
that the sick man had pigeon bones in his head
and that as soon as the witch commenced
burning the bones would protrude and he (the
witch doctor) would pull them out and this
was actually done. The poor woman was tied
up and corn shucks lighted under her feet, and
she was kept in this horrid torture until she
was so badly burned that there remained no
possible chance OF her recovery, and she soon
afterwards died.-Ieras Rancbero, FEB. %.

tarian church. The speaker commenced by present
ing, in impressive language, the injurious effects of
intemperance upon the community, enlarging espe-
cially upon the suffering it produces for the wives
and daughters of those who indulge to in the
Intoxicating draught. 1t was consequently woman's
ghtful mission to labor in this great cause. in her
appropriate sphere. He spoke of the superior nhu-
ence of womans efforts in this field, and of the
parental example ofincaculable weight in train
ing children, and many woful instances were related
of the effect ofparental neglect or indulgence by pa
rents in the fashionable habit of wine drinking 1t
since the first concerted efforts were made to Danish
from the midst of the use of intoxicating drinks
and to make this thoroughly temperate commu-
nifty. And what have we done! There have
been times when we felt ready to rejoice that
our work accomplished. But the appetite is
strong, and the resolution weak, and with new
generation this tremendous evil has been returning
upon u.s. and at period for thirty years have been

now. Some of the grosser habits then prevalent
