We commend to the attention Of our amia-
ble Cana friends the discussion of the House
last week ON the old St Adams business in 1864.
1t is so old that people across the border who
have short memories have probably forgotten
that then it was their bull which gorcd our OK.
The British Government seems to be slow
about paying for that damage, and the bank
which was robbed by Canada raid is obliged
to ask Congress to remit its taxes pro tempore,
until John Bull pays back what his Rebel pro-
teges stole. The story will do to keep in mind
for some time to come, and is particularly sa-
worry now, in view Of the recent anxiety of oul
Government to prevent the Fenians from an.
noying the Canadian authorities.

THE MURDER TRIAL.-The trial of Dicker-
son and Norman for the marder of Can't. Jas.
7. Pritchett, came to an end on Saturday
MORNING last, the Jury having rendered a YER
dict as follows: Dickerson guilty Of murder
in the second degree Norman not guilty -
The verdict occasiOned considerable surprise
for it is evident that if Dickerson was guilty OF
murder at all IL was in the first degree There
would have been just as much reason in return
ing verdict of theft or rape, as murder in the
second degree. However, one blOckhead some
times makes fools of better men, and there GER
tainly was one on that jury, ifrepOrt be true
1t is said he remarked to his brOther-jurors: =
Didn't Jim Stewart say they are not guilty,
and didn't Col Wallace say For Gods sake
dent hang emf Now what more do you
want, gentlemen ?"
The counsel for Dickerson filed motion foi
a new trial in his case, but it was overruled.-
| DickcrsOn was sentenced to fourteen years
in the penitentiary, and left for that quarter
on last Wednesday morning. -Cdm6r1dge In

A Foolish WAGER-In New York, recent
| ly, man made the very foolish wager of $40
that he could stand on a post for twenty-toul
consecutive hours. He accordingly mounted
the post at 10 o clock in the morning, and af
ter he had stood for several hours his feet haf
swollen so much that it became necessary tC
cut his boots to ease the pain Towards even
ing the swelling extended to his legs, and Al
half-past eight in the evening he complained
of numbness in his feet and limbs and was rub
blng them with whisky to excite the circulation
This unusual exhibition drew great crowd o.
people, so that the police finally interfered anC
forced the man to get down. We need scarce
ly say that he was properly punished for hi
foolishness. This fellow was evidently some
good for nothing idler, and it has been vel
said that the devil tempts all men, but an idle
man tempts the devil.-Ledger.

LOST BONDS. The Committee of Claims of
the House Of Representatives has reported a
case which establishes, to certain extent, a
precedent for the reissue OF lost U. S. coupon
bonds A gentleman lost a $500 bond, but
subsequently recovered it in damaged condi-
ton with thirteen of the coupons. The Com
mittee recommend that new bond be issued
for the mutilated one that the thirteen cou-
pons be considered valid, but that no new cou-
pons be issued for the lost ones, there being no
evidence but that they may still be in existence
This last point settles many cases of applica-
tionS for the reissue of lost coupons.

THE QUESTION. -Hdrper'S Weekly, in an
article on the minority report of the Recon
struction Committee, thus puts the question
to be decided by the adoption of the new Con-
stitutional amendment:
'For the doctrine of Alexander IT. STEPHENS
and the Minority Report is either true or false
Either the National Government was power
less, except for collecting revenues and holding
district courts within every rebel State, when
the insurgents surrendered, or it had exactly
as much power as in its judgment was neces-
sary to secure peace and conform to the Union.
The latter being the plain common-sense OF
the situation, is the doctrine OF the loyal Amer
lean people 1t is in vain to split hairs upon
the question of the exact condition OF the in
surgent States. 1t remains a pernlclOus abb
straction. There is something amusing in the
preposterOus gravity with which Mr. Stephens
and his friends in Congress inform the faithful
people of this country, who freed the slaves il
order to undermine the rebellion, that the reb
el States, having concluded to surrender, viii
now by continuous right" return to a larger
share in the Government than they had before
| Does MIR. Reverdy johnson seriously suppose
that the people who had faith enough ant
sense enough to suppress such a rebellion real
ly mean that those who rebelled shall have
gained political power at the expense of those
who remained faithful and were victorious?
1t Is this issue Of common sense and not onC
Of Constitutional hair-splitting which will %
to the country in the coming elections. Nor i
ltaquestlon whether loyal Representatives from
any State shall be admitted, but whether an,
State lately III rebellion shall be represented
until 1t has given reasonable and honorable
guarantees OF fidelity to the Union.

A CURE FOR RINDERPEST, CHOLERA, &C.-
A communication has been received at the De-
Of State from our Legation at London, inclOS-
ing two pamphlets relating 10 certain expert
mentS by DIR. James Dewor of klrkcaldy for
testing the efficacy of ulphurous acid gas as a
disinfectant. Results are cited which leads to
the conviction that Rinderpest, Pleuro-P Pneu-
mOnia and Cholera and some others by which
the human family are afflicted may be not only
very much modified but even wholly prevented
by this means. The method Of generating the
gas is very simple and inexpensive. 1t is only
necessary to have chafer of old ash cinders,
set small crucible into them and drop piece
of phur stick of the size of mans thumb
into it. This will fumigate large cattle shed
or byre in 20 minutes. The animals seem to
enjoy it, and it acts as tonic on man or beast.
The shed of byre must be well ventilated dur
| ing the tumigation, as we'll as before and after
it, and sound sanitary rules must be enforced
in regard to cleanliness and the removal OF
dung heaps. During the prevalence of such
epidemicS as are above named, the fumigatlOn
may be made according to the foregoing direc-
tiOns four or five times day; and not only Is
this treatment safe to cure the fatal disease,
but it is stated that mango, ringworm and lice
have vanished before it, and that grease heels
in horses have also been cured by it, while Sc
we're cases of phthisis and tubercular affections
of the lungs have been relieved in human be-
ings. The matter is worthy of study and ex-
pertinent by our scientific and professional men.
DIR. DewOr having liberally consented to the
free use of his pamphlets, they will be sent by
the Secretary of State to an appropriate com
mlttee III Congress, with a view to their publ
cation and distribution.

MEXICAN INTELLIGENcE.-The report fthe
capture of an ImperialiSt convoy going to Ca
margo, Mexico, by the LiberastS, is fully con-
irmed. The battle took place on the morning
of Saturday, July 10th The Liberalst forces
under Escobedo and other chicftains, amount
ed to 2j0O men, and they attacked the Impe-
rialiSts about nine miles from Camargo, and af-
ter an hour severe fighting captured the CON
voy, together with eight cannon and sixteen
hundred prisoners. The guard Of the convoy,
consisting oI LARGE portion ot the garrison OF
MatamOraS and the other Imperialist troops
on the Rio Grande, We're either killed, wound
ed or captured and the great Importance OF
the victory, beyond the value Of the train, is
that it takes away from active service nearly
all the AuStrianS OF the Rio Grande, and leaves
Matamoras with only feeble garrison, and liza
Bile to capture by the liberali>tS. Already the
lmperial>ts have evacuated Baglad and other
Outposts. to strengthen Matamoras, and they
consider their position as one Of great peril.
