REJoIcINGs AT VERA CRrz.-When the news
of the recent triumph of the Constitutional
arms at Mexico reached Vera Cruz, the Gov
ernor of the State, President of the Republic,
Cabinet. and other officers, were at the
Theatre. The Governor was the first To re-
ceive the dispatch, which, being confirmed,
he read 10 the audience from his box, where
upon the whole audience rose, and gave such
reception as was due TO news so Interesting
and important, by long and repeated viras =
From the Theatre the news also ran quickly
through the city, which, for one night ut least,
and that after many of sorrow, was one of
sincere and heartfelt rejoicing, unmingled with
aught but the remembrance of past sufferings.
A few days after, and the President, with the
most important members of his Cabinet, set
out for the capital.

Getting on a Spree.-There may be good

this must be the universal impression else
there would be more swearing off, and
fewer worshippers OF blue ruin. Liquor Affects
people in different ways for the monent--some
it mikes jolly and social, and some fiery and

men are carried before the Mayor ior stirring
up tempest while drunk, they feel all the
sensations consequent upon their situation,

the board, and the othe- against the upper
floor. With only this slight platte m to sepa-

seventy feet beneath him, he walked out to
his work. The plank stood firm until he

against the oblique incline of the board, forced
IL back TO a straight line, and dying i'll an in

mass of clotted brains and blood, and his
arms and thighs broken. The BODY as
