The President still brcathes, but is
quite iusensible, as he has been ever

through the lungs and is not expected
to live. The wounds Of Major Seward
are not serious.

different person, that attempted tc
murder Mr.. Seward, remains in doubt

blows nobody good" and, consequently,
congratulate you that your we'll known

The safe you made for me some time
ago was in the office of the Museum, on
the second floor, back part of the building,
and in the hottest of the fire.
After twenty-four hours of trial, it was
found among the debris, and on opening
it this day has yielded up its contents in
very good order-books, papers, policies OF
insurance, bank bills, all in condition for
immediate use, and noble commentary
