communication seems to be pointless.-
Not surprising, at all, that the DR.. de-
signed to put forth a .faksehood, / have
come to the conclusion that his letter
must have been the alispring of fit of
somnambulism For, it is notorious
fact, well understood by all who know
anything at all about the matter referred
to, that every word in the Dr.'s letter,
which refers to Lieut.. Prescott, is without
a shadow of truth Prescott was full
half mile from camp, acting as officer of
the camp ground, during the whole fuss
with the negroes and never took any part
in it at ALL 1t is evident, therefore, If the
Dr. thinks he saw him there and heard
him scear SO horribly he must have been
laboring under wicked optical and oral
Illusions at the time.
In my statement of the affair, sought
to give a fair and impartial account of
what passed under my own observation
and l was in the whole of it, trying to re-
cover my watch did not see the DR.
there at all-and my impression is he
never left his tent during the whole af.
fray AS to the terrible threat he made
about what he would do, &c, In case his
life and health was preserved, of course
he dreamed it, as it was never heard of
uueii ~ appeared III ene Cleh"d h%puOncdn
All, then, he says about me, which diff
fers from my statement in your paper
some weeks since, am constrained to
place on par with what he said about
Lieut.. Prescott. 81 f.rsaa at
The only part know of that Prescott
took in the affair was, to get few DAYS
on the right track of the thief.
He is the only person in our regiment
who deserves the credit for the recovery
of the stolen property. The Dr. had no
part in 1t except to- go and identity his
watch after Prescott told him where it
could be found: H'hy then the Dr. should
use such abusive language against Lieut.
under all these circumstances, is |
queer, and can only be explain
al by altr;te,tlng TO him great careless
ness as to what he says about others

Admiral Fitzroy, in his instruc-
tions to meteorological observers, is
careful not to cut off any source of
/ iliormation, as he especially notes
that the observations OF nature are to
lie watched. Thus when sea a-birds
fly out early, and far to seavard, fair
weather may he anticipated; on the
CONTRARY, when they hang about the
land or fly inward, stormy weather is
indicated. When animals, instead of
spreading over their usual range, seek
sheltered places, storms may he ex-
Ipected Dow is an indication of fine
weather, so is fog, but clearness OF
the atmosphere near the horizon, is q
sign of wet. When mountaineer
secs the hills cutting sharp against
the sky, he wraps his plaid around
him. a good hearing has is also an
indication of coming wet. The pub
lie feel all the more confidence in the
Meteorological. Department for not
disdaining the phenomena noted by
the weatherwisc, H. they rest exactly
on the same Foundation as what may
be termed the more scientific signs
namely, experience. Now that me-
teorogy is elevated into an applied
science we feel confident that immense
progress will he made. It is n great
thing to know that there is central
department, instituted purposely TO
collect carefully all information bear

heart is in his business, and who
seems never better pleased than when
he is collecting from any source,
however insignificant, a fact that is

relation to the Shipwrccll Relief So

Indeed, rs we progress in

pose, we are becoming enabled to put
prevention in practice.

THE BRIDGE AGAIN.-The other day we
gave notice of the little suspension bridge,
and added what We believed to be the
unanimous opinion of large majority OF
our citizens. In another column of to-days'
paper the Street Commissioner advertises
for proposals "for the repair Of the towers
of the Market Street suspension bridge"
From this it would seem that our city
authorities are about to incur debt of six,
or seven hundred dollars for the repair of a
structure that has always been a nuisance
and an expense to the city.
The money expended for the repair OF
this bridge is so much thrown away. The
cables and towers will be in as bad if not a
worse condition before another year, and
then another appropriation will have to be
made to patch up the rapidly decaying
concern. Besides, when the bridge is thus
repaired it Will only accommodate foot
passengers, and vehicles will be compelled
as heretofore, to cross the Main street
BRIDGE. The interests and welfare of the
city demand and cry aloud for permanent
bridge,-one that will be of service to all
classes, and one that will not cost several
hundred dollars year for repair.

how cheering the custom, so generally pre-

perusal of the column of j. T. Scott & Co.

ExTRAoR BINARY SCENE IN CHURCH.
Last Sunday morning, while the minister
was opening services, at the Park st, NJ. E.
Church, Cincinnati, the congregation was star.
tied by series of vocferous and unseemly
EXPLANATIONS from female, accompanied by
the sounds of blows, aud of scutfie; and
the astounded WORTHLESS got up from their
knees, and the minister opened his eyes to
the fact that there was a personal difficulty
of the most extraordinary character trans
piring then and there
1t seems that for some weeks past there
have been active hostilities in the church be-
tween Mack r. BARNIrz and Mrs. NELLIE
JACOBS, both members Of the church. Du-
ring the first prayer, on Sunday, Mr.. B.,
with his family, was kneeling and bowed
in devotion; Mrs. JACOBS glided along the
aisle, and, drawing cowskin which she had
concealed in her skirts, gave him vehe
ment whack directly over the head, and fol
lowed it up hot and heavy, giving him a
really tremendous larupins about the ears
before those in the vicinity could COL
isct their scattered senses enough to inter-
fere. She accompanied the blows with
hysterical cries of sob, you villain, ""There.
you trsduoer!" ISLANDER woman, will
you?"
=, The minister paused in the prayer, over.
whelmed with Amusement Several lead
iug members of the church made haste to
quell the dreadful outbreak, when Mrs. ia
coBs drew handful Of cayenne pepper
and plunged it in BARNIrz's face, and then
dashed it right and left; almost suffocating
two or three elderly gentlemen who had
interfered. She was at length removed
from the church, and the services were pro
cssdsd with. As Mrs. JACOBS was put out
at the door she said 81 Am now satisfied"
