INCREASE OF THE GULF SQUADRON
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Gulf fSquadron about
to be despatched is to be commanded by Captain
Stringham. The reasons for the increase of the
naval force in that quarter are all conjectual.
The extreme caution which characterzes the
Administration on this as we'll as all military SUBJ

ernment seems to have come to the deerminat tion,
in the language of Cabinet officer, to be known
only by its acts. Extreme solicitude is everywhere
manifested relative to the movements concerning
Forts Pickens and Sumter, and the fear is expressed
that collision may be preciptated.
The steamer Pawnee, lying off the Washington
Navy Yard, will probably leave for parts unknown
on Saturday.

SINGULAR AND HORRIBLE 0CCURRENCE-A Woman
Killed by a Dog.-On Thursday morning Of last
week, an old woman named Betsy Davis, who re-
sided with her two brothers, Robert and Timothy,
in Ross township, Perrysyille, was found lying
on the floor BY the side of her bed in dying con-
dtion. The brothers sent in for the neighbors,
who, upon examination, discovered that her right
leg, from the knee to the ankle, was one continu-
Gus wound as though it had been gnawed by an
animal, while her abdomen and thighs were scratch
ed. There was good deal of blood on the floor,
and more had evidently been Tapped up by two
dogs in the room, one of them pet of the woman.
1t was apparent that the wounds had been inflicted
by the dog. The woman was placed in bed and
died in about two hours. Next day she ewas buried
and the brothers had the dog killed.
The affair created, as usual in similar cases,
good deal of gossip many considering the story
very improbable, and no inquest having been held,
Coroner Bostwick sent for on Tuesday. He
had the body exhumed and held an inquest over
the remains. DR.. A. J. McCune examined the
body and gave his opinion to the jury, who found
a verdict to the effect "that deceased came to her
death from the bite of dog, severing the anterior
tibial ."-Pitsbwg Post, April3.

Anthony Philip Heinrich, many of our readers

though not quite friendless Father Heinrich was
a rich man some thirty years ago. He was born IN
Scb9nlinden, in Bohemia, and was educated Tor
mercantile life. His great wealth enabled him to
CRAFTY an adventurous spirit, and he travelled very
extensively. At Malta he first showed special
mona violin, which was thencetorth his constant
companion. He crossed the Atlantic several times,
made musical acquaintances here, and was in Phil
adeIpbia when he learned of the failure of his
banking house. At this news be did something
quite unexpected. He crossed the Alleghanies on
foot, and finally settled in log cabin, in Bards
town, KY, where he began to write music, and
spent some time in his rude home. He then re-
turned to London, played in the orchestras of the
Drury Lane and Covent Garden, and some five
years after again visited this country. He has
composed over one hundred works, comprising or
atorios, overtures, symphonies, concerted pieces
and songs. In 1857 he made his last trip to Eu-
rope, and had the pleasure of hearing some of his
works performed by musical societies in Prague
and Vienna,

JEFFERsoN's THEORY OF THE PRESIDENTS
Duty IN CASE OF SEcEssIoN.-Tt has often
been said that the decisions of Congress are
important, becarse the Confederation pro-
vides no compulsory power. But when two
or more nations enter into compact it is not
usual for them to say what shall be done to
the party who infringes it. Decency forbids
this, and it is as unnecessary as indecent, be-
cause the right of compulsion naturally re-
suits to the party injured by the breach
When any one State of the American Union
refuses obedience to the confederation by
which they have bound themselves, the rest
have a right to compel them to obedience
Congress would probably exercise loug pa
tence before they would reeur to force, but
if the case ultimately required it, they would
use that recurrence. Should this case ever
arise, they will probably coerce by naval
force, as being more easy, less dangerous to
liberty and less likely to produce much blood
shed.
