New York, March IA special des-
patch from Washington informs us that
our government has received information
that the Miramon party in Mexico had de-
termincd to blockade the port of Vera
Cruz and other ports in the Mexican gulf.
In case this should prove true, our govern
ment has determined to pay 70 respect to
such blockade.

hY-SHuT UP YOUR Coal HoLEs.-Drunk-
cnncss is becoming SO popular, and conse-
quent night-walking, that the Street Com
missioner, with view of protecting life
and limb, has deemed it necessary to no.
tify our citizens that they must close up
their coal holes and cellar doors, and fns-
ten them with locks and chains, under
the penalty of visitation of the punish
ment prescribed by ordinance. Although
not personally interested in this matter,
we consider it good suggestion. Here
tofore person starting down one of our
obscure streets, had no sure thing of
reaching his or her destination in sound
condition. 1t is doubtless very amusing
to see or hear of mans tumblng head
long into one of these pits of bituminous
blackness, but the sensations of the suffer
er are of vastly different character, as
many who have ''been there" are ready to
testify Shut up your traps or take the
consequences.

mr W1ND.-Yesterday was windy,
stormiug, banging sort of day, fair
specimen of the rolicking, roaring, blus-
tering, lawless month of March. Whether
March maketh the hare mad, according to
an old proverb, this deponent saith not,
but that it makes human beings angry
does not admit of denial. To have ones
hat blown from his head, and then to
chase it for half a square through mud
and slosh, would try the patience of a
saint, and that is one OF the standing
amusements of this genial month of March.
Ranting raving winds are now the order
of the day. 1t is the carnival season of
old Borcas. He comes rushing down
from the frozen north with his attendant
train of hail, sIeet aud snow, and plays
the very mischief while the fit is on him.
Now he butts at lonely house, and tries
all the doors and windows, rafting the
blinds and prying up the shingles, and
huttering about and interfering with the
work of We William Sticker; anon, he tears
through a grove of trees, clashing the dry
branches, ruffiing the plumcs of the pines,
and filling the air with red leaves that
have chung all winter to the sturdy oaksj
then away over the brown fields, away
over the rushing streams, away, away, to

shutters, to blow open doors, to stagger
pedestrians, to assault ladies, to knock of
hats and to rip awnings into rags.

Cn1LLs AND FEVER CuILLs AND FEvER!'
One. of the greatest remedies that has
ever been laid before the public, for Fever
and ague, and which have received the
highest encomiums from the press and the
people, is DR.. H. HoStetter's Celebrated Bit
icrs Who would endure the torture aris-
ing from this terrible disease, when it can
be so easily cured? Who would endure
sleeplcss nights, burning fevers and icy
chills alternately, when remedy can be
obtained for a mere trifle? And yet how
many families linger out a painful existence
under this deadly bligh, and do nothing
but gulp down quinine, until it becomes
rs common rs their daily meals, and yet
they are not relieved. None but the fool
sh and weak would hesitate to procure
these valuable Bitters, and save themselves
intense agony. Sold by druggists and
dealers generally everywhere.

Tuesday Morning, March le, 1860.
NSg@THAT ABDUCTIoN CAsE.-Two

NSs@THAT ABDUCTION CAsE.-Two
young girls aged sixteen and eighteen
named Mary Jane and Nellie Brandt, were
induced to leave their home in Pittsburg,
by man named Zachariah Bell, some 60
or 65 years of age, who keeps a grocery
store in Wheeling. He took them as far as
Cincinnati, where he found that telegraph
&c dispatches had been forwarded by the
Mayor of Pittsburg, when he left for St.
Louis, but the girls refused to go With
Lin.
Being abandoned by their wealthy pro-
ector, he e!des. 70, n a o ne in a house
ofill-fhmc, and the youngest took refuge
in the Home for the Friendless, where she
remained until Tuesday last, when they
were both sent back to Pittsburg.
The girls are said to be quite intelligent
and but for the evil influences by which
they have evidently been surrounded,
might have been ornaments to society.
We find the above going about in the
newspapers. 1t will be remembered that
we published an account ofthe alleged alb
duction of the Brandt girls, at the time
They left this city without exciting any
very great degree of sympathy, or even t.
tention, and Bell was allowed to abduct
them with immunity, for the very simple
reason that he got one of them out of d
house of ill fame in the first place, and
whilst here she was regarded as notori-
Gus prostitute. The getter up of the above
paragraph was either misinformed or else
he must have been hard up for strain of
the pathetic. We believe there was no
abduction about the matter, and consider
ing that Bell has for some time manifested
symptoms of arrangement, he was "more
sinned against than SHINING" The money
that these women got out of him from
time to time would start two or three
Homes for the Friendless.
