Dental chair during any given term are
filed from the Senste. Just before the
close of the first executive session of each
Congress the Vice President usually va
Gates the chair, which is Immediately fill
ed by the election of President pro TEN,
who performs the duties ofthe Vice Pres
ident whenever that officer is absent, and
in the case of the death of both President
and Vice President he succeeds to the
office. The present President of the SEN
ate is Hon. Lafayette s. Foster, of Connec-
ticut. He has heen in the Senate since
1855, and is two years the senior of Presi-
dent johnson. During the first Congress
under Mr.. Lineoln's administration (the
thirty-seventh,) Hon. Solomon Foote, of

An Ineidsnt Of me Late Ratt1s.

During one of the battles on the left,
last week, son in one of the New York
regiments met his father in rebel regi-
ment and took him prisoner. It was an
actual occurrence, vouched for on good su-
thority, and the manner Of it was this:
Just before the war commenced the son
left his home and went to the State of New
York; he enlisted in the Federal service
and came down into General Grants army
here, and for gsllantry in action, was pro.
NOTED to LieutCns nancy. The father was
in the ranks yet. The other day while
charging the rebel works on the left, this
son in our lines, by some curious happen
ing or providence, came directly upon his
father on the other side. GHoldln he cried
instantly, as he noticed his father was lev
cling his gun upon him, "don't you know
whom you are firing att" During the
four years of our service this son had grown
SO much the father did not know him.
"Well," says he, 81 am your son, and you
are my prisoner" The father looked up,
came quickly TO q recognition of his Of
spri2g, and went to the rear. This head of
family was once a shoemaker in the city

OF course the solicitude of the husband
arose from fear that his partner might be
allured from the political faith In which he
had indoctrinsted her. A large SQUAD
Of rebels, being escorted through tbe
streets yesterday BY colored guards, came
to halt In front of Libby, when one of
them observed his former slave pacing up

bearing. Stepping little out of the rapks
he said: HHAllo, Jack, is that you ?" The
negro gusrd looked at him with blank as

The Provost MarshaI's Office In Rich
mnmd

The Provost MarshRI's Office In Rich
mOnd.
A correspondent of the New York Ex-
press gives the following lively sketch Of
the Office of the Provost Marshal of the
Army of the James:
In small room in the State Capitol of
Richmond, opposite the library, some time
since the Chamber of the Confederate
Senate sits, in Mr. Z. M. T. Hunters
chair the acting Provost Marshal of Rich
mond, Lieutenant-C Colonel Fred. L. Man.
ming, Of the Army of the james. A mot
ley crowd, numbered by hundreds, throng
the door, and are let in, few at 8 time, by
a sentinel. The Colonel attends their cases
at the rate Of about six 8 minute.
There are few more interesting places
than the Provost Marthalis office of lately
captured city. Let US listen a moment to
what these people have TO say:
HThere's lot of soldiers taking away
my fish, and I don'twant to sell the fish at
all, and they give me this they say is
greenbaeks"- holding out an advertise
ment of Plantation Bitters printed in the
guise of bsnk-note7.
Corporal, take fle Of men and arrest
those plunderers thss this man will show
you"
~ am soldier in the rebel army, and
wish TO give myself up"
Sergeant, put this man along with the
others."
al came into the city last Sunday, sir,
and haven't been able TO get home again"
+Can't help it, sir; strict orders that no
citizen leaves the city to-day. Tomorrow,
perhaps, you may GO"
HMy husband is very sick, eight miles
down the river, sir, and 1 want to 90 down
tonight"
"Certainly, madam, here is your pass"
Does q newspaper correspondent need
pass to go back to City Point ?"
Yes, sir; here it is"
"a couple OF soldiers have taken lot of
jewelry from my shop"
"When Wss it p
ETuesdsy morning"
"Can't go back 80 far, sir; ycu should
have been here yesterday"
And so it will go on for more than fifteen
hours during the day, If the observer is
to wslt so long, or is allowed to
do 30.

URDAY, May 10th.

DR.. @. B. LIGHTHILLS first visit 10
Ohio was induced by numerous spplica-
tions for treatment from parties unable to
visit New York for that purpose, and who
can not be successfully treated except after
q personal examination. His practice has
been so successful that he has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost as difficult for some
parties desiring his services, to visit him st
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
quests of many citizens, he has consented,
before returning to Europe, to visit several
central points in Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters, so that all who
desire can consult him.
For the past twelve years DR.. LighthiD
has paid exclusive attention to the treat
ment of deafness and catarrh in its vari-
Gus forms. He has prscticed N New York,
and other principal Eastern cities, where,
until few months past, he was associated
with his cousin, DR.. EB. Lighthill, and, to-
gether,. they have acquired standing
which has earned for the "Lighthill In
stitute its present great reputation.
