DEATH FROM CHOKING. --On Mon
day afternoon last, little child Of
Vim. Chandler, of South Bend, came
to its death from choking on trying to
swallow piece of meat. All efforts
to save its life were unavailing.
The house Of Mr.. John II. Harper,

glars one night last week and robbed Of
some $500 worth Of clothing and edi-
bles.
Mr.. Henry Harris. who lives on
Col. Woods farm near earn Island,
in Spencer County, was awakened
about one o'clock in the morning OF
Saturday the 3D. inst, by persons in
his cabbage patch. Having suffered
from similar depredations heretofore,
he determined to put stop to them,

ter the trespassers. They took the
alarm and fed, but he followed them
little distance when, it being too
dark TO see any one, he blazed away
with his fowling piece, guided only by
the sound of their voices. The only
effect apparently, was to raise yell
from dog which accompanied them,
and Mr.. Harris went back to bed and
slept quietly till next morning. M
The next day while at church, he
learned that he had completely pep
pered three men and one dog, all re-
ceiving tho shot in their backs and
the calves of their legs, except one
who got his share in the unbilical re
gion. None are seriously hurt.

Though there is not q downright panic

sequence the volunteering and drilling are

MONTREAL, March 2l.-The excitement
has almost disappeared here, although few
points on the frontier still keep it up. Vol
unteers show much enthusiasm in all parts
of Lower Canada and thorough organisa-

Railroad Company organized its employees
into defensive corps in all parts Of Canada.
Fully 10, 900 troops appeared here to-day on

day. 1t is believed that the present force
will soon be relieved by new men to be called

The versatility Of this great actor was
never better demonstrated than in his repre-.
sentation ofthe difficult character of Hamlet.
HistnOnic art presents no greater contrast
than the feeble and villainous French King
Louis XI, and the strange combination OF
mauliness, irresolution, and melancholy
which peryades Hamlet.
KEAs's Hamlet was artistic-full of the
merits and the defects of declining school
His recitation was by no means equal to that
of WoLsEY, SHYLOCK, or his incompatible
LOUIS XII but in facial expression and in
the demeanor Of the strange Prince he was
admirable. On the whole we regard it as a
superior performance
Of the rest Of the performance little was
good, and much was execrable. The text
was EhOckingIy violated and among the
most objectionable instances Of 1t was the

Disastrous Fire In the OIL Region.

PETROLEUM CENTRE, Pa, March PA
destructive eonAagration began this evening
at Ocean Well. The flames spread rapidly
to the oil tanks Of the Ocean Oil Company,
Of Philadelphia.
Five wells belonging to Breeder and Ny
ers and Breeder and Tennent, lessees, were
soon enveloped in enc huge mass Of fame,
with no earthly means Of checking the fear
full tide.
The fire ragged onward down the run, the
fame communicating with everything COM
bustible, and sweeping every object before
1t. 1t soon found a channel which carried
the burning mass into Binnehof run, catch
ing In its way three refneries, some thirty OF
more buildings, and several wells in the pro.
gress of drilling.
In less than fifteen minutes from the break.
ing out Of the ERE the fame was nearly a
mile in length. Tho loss Is estimated at
$3.50. 900.
Patterson 4 Dickey, with the Ocean Well
Company, are the heaviest losers. Twenty
thousand barrels Of oil were consumed, with
their tanksge, some eighteen engine. houses,
derricks, engines, md the whole parapher.
ALA for sinking wells, were destroyed.
Two men are reported as having been
burned seriously, three fatally and one
(u1mel MeKonsie) has just died.

We reproduce so much Of Mr.. DANA's letter
as appears above, illustrated with italics,
which are much better for the purpose than
wood cuts.
As we have before stated, because the
President could not remove the Now York
Custom House to Chicago to accommodate
Mr.. DANA, that heightened journalist began,
and has continued, to berate and abuse tho
President after the most approved manner Of
the female fsh-butchers Of Billinsgate.
Since the publication Of tho offioe-seeker's
letter, his editorials have been rather tame
reminding his readers Of . young fighting
cock that had been badly whipped and
plucked of his pin-feathsrs. The following
is one of his wriggling paragraphs in the
Chicago Republican,, Of the 2lst inst:
at Is rather an interesting question how
far the President intends to employ the pat
ronage which he controls for tho purpose
either Of crowding through Congress his
scheme OF rapid reconstruction, or Of re-
warding the small number Of gentlemen who
have separated from the Union Republican
party in order to 60 with him."
Of one thing Mr.. DANA may rest assured,
viz: that he will not be withdrawn from his
position of political dogmatiIer in the West
to enjoy the patronage" Of the New York
colleotorship.

EX-GOVERNOR ANDREW AND II.
q. EOOTE.

It Is one Of the remarkable phases Of the
politics of our day, that one of the Oldest
most efficient veterans in the anti-slavery
ranks, and one who had acquired an unen.
viable notoriety for his vehemence and bitter.
ness in opposing the nnti-slavery sentiment
should be found in close cOmpanionship, and
working together very kindly in the harness,
on n great proposition affecting the future
Of the country.
Six or eight years ago, had any ono fore
told that the irascible, belligerent, and ire
pressible FoorE, Of Mississippi, who was for
changing" after the manner of HAMAE, men
of the HALE stamp, and who went in goner-
ally for burnings and slaughters, and whole
sale Northern desolation; and Gov. ions A.
ANDREW, of Massachusetts who was free
soiler from the start" an original rcpubli
can, bitter opponent Of the fugitive slave
bill, and the energetic leader of the move
ment to farm the negro, " would appear by
letter MS the champions Of the measure which
seeks to amnesty traitors and enfranchise
the blacks. 1t would have been considered rs
conclusive proof of lunacy. But We have
lived to see the day when the anti.slavery
Governor and tho pro-slavery Senator are
'tside by side" and shoulder to shoulder -
They both 60 in for the STEWART com
promise. Mr.. FoorE says Of it that IT is I
wise and patriotic measure. I" lie disclaim
all right to the patent, giving that honor t
his distinguished son.in-lnw, the Senate,
from Nevada. Mr.. Poor promises full dis
cussion Of "this important matter" W,
may expect very lengthy, IL not very lucid
exposition of this plan OF settlement; and W,
can well understand why FoorE should be de
sirous of universal amnesty.
Gov. ANDREW, with great strength o
statement, remarks:
1t seems plain to me that the colorcd mel
must be invested with the rights, both pc
litical and civil, which pertain to citizenship
according TO laws which shall impart politi
cal honors according to capacity and desert
and not according to descent or the accident
Of birth, or else they must be exterminated
l think that the former rebels must be re
instated in their political rights, or thoY mus
DO exterminated. l think, also, that tn
same body of voters in each State who car
ried 1t out into rebellion must bring it bacl
again into loyalty. Any other "Teeonstruc
ton " is dangerous and delusiye.
If Mr.. FoorE represents the public bPin
ion Of the South in this matter as largely a
does Governor ANDREW that Of the North

Conversation with President johnson
HARTFORD, March 22d, 1866.

In view of the extraordinary reports that
were circulated concerning influences from
Washington that were brought to bear upon
our canvass, we were earnestly requested, by
some of our political friends, to proceed Ia
Washington and ascertain the facts. Gen
Hawley was requested to accompany us,
and did SO.
Senator Foster introduced us, and the
President received us cordially. Much con
versation ensued not intended for publica
ton. The Presidents views are just and
decided upon the duty Of the national gov
eminent not to interfere in State elections.
He himself does not desire to make remarks
to be quoted and banded about In heated
local contests. But he says freely, as he has
before, that It is altogether too late in the day
to ask him If he desires the success Of the
Union party of the country, in view Of oil
tho occurrences Of the last four or I've years
He says that he does desire 1t.
Whatever difference Of opinion he has with
members Of that party he expects to fight
out within the lines Of that organization. He
has appointed none but members Of that
party to office, and expects to continue in
that course. He adheres firmly to the prin
ciples of that party, as laid down by Its last
national convention, and positively believes
that all his measures and views have beer
and are in strict conformity with those prin
cipIes. He said there had been no interior
enoe whatever, by any member Of the ad
ministration, so far as he knew, with the can
yass in Connecticut.
