Is THIS SO?-In the BrOokviile RepsL-
lean Of Dec 5th, we find the following
item of news
We learn that the bones of man were
recently fourid near Luthersburg branch of
the Sandy Lick Greek, Clearfeld county,
supposed by some to be those of man NAM
ed Hines, who suddenly disappearedin that
nelghborhood some six or seven years ago
1t Is the opinion of many that Hines was
touly dealt with, on account of his money,
or by reason of serious difficulties between
him aud some of his neighbors. His friends
are supposed to live in the vicinity of Will
Transport, Pa. ;"
And the BeIlefonte Press, of Dec 7th,
contains the following:
The people of Osceola were considerably
startled on Saturday last by the finding of a
human skeleton, about two miles from that
place. From appearances it is supposed
the body had been there for period of five
or SIX years. The bone Of one leg still re-
NAMED in the boot, which had been gnawed
by wild animals as the marks of their teeth
we're plainly visible in the leather There
have been various surmises as to the identi-
tyof the body, none of them however prove
satisfactory This is the second or third
human skeleton which has been found in
that locality within the past three years.
VIII not some one of our Luthersburg
and Oseeola friends inform US whether the
foregoing are facts? IF the statements are
correct, they prove conclusively that ito
get news you must go abroad.

Ills healthy sign TO day, the laying OF the

Lord Clarendon. rs Is known, has suspended
the diplomatic controversy between the British
Government and Mr.. Adams on the Alabama

the matter where 1t il, we'll knowing that the
time must soon come when the precedent thus
set by England will work 10 her disadvantage.

Mr. Wiley introduced bill ceding TO the

Mr.. Chandler offered resolution which was
adopted, calling for whatever information the
President may have received touching the vio-
lation of neutrality laws by the army occupy
ing the right bank Of the Rio Grande
Mr. DoolittIe, of Wisconsin, spoke at great
length in support of President Johnson's
scheme of restoration, showing that the latter
was only following out the principles of Pre-
sident Lincoln, which were endorsed by every
member of the latter's Cabinet. He alluded
TO Senator Summers way for States to 90 out
of the Union, namely, by act of Congress, and
argued to the contrary, asserting that State
is not destroyed by war unless conquered by
foreign power, or dismembered by revolution,
and made in to two or more States. To be
invaded does not destroy it if it expel the
invader. To be torn by civil war, and even II
drenched in fra ternal blood, does not destroy it
either, unless the general issue OF arms shall
be against it, If the terms onered by fresl-
dent Johnson have been accepted by the South
ern States in good faith, the faith of the
nation is pledged to them just rs much as by
the terms contained in the surrender of their
armies. He would admit as Representatives
all who could take the prescribed oath. As all
know, the most iustifable of all causes for
rebellion or revolution is to tax and govern
people without representation. At the con-
clusion of Mr.. Doolittle's speech the Senate
