conduct of two young ladies at the

on the Newburg Branch of the Erie
Railroad: Two daughters Of Mr..
Merritt-one of the injured men
hearing the explosion, ran from the
house to the scene of the accident,
finding the three men. McBurney,
Merritt, and Sears. buried in the rub
bish and entirely senseless from the
fconcussion and injuries received by
the explosion. They extricated Mer-
ritt and McBurney, and carried them
into the house; returning to Sears
assistance, found an iron balance
wheel, weighing 800 pounds, lying di-
rectly across him, partially supported
by rubbish yet holding him securely
as vice. The two girls raised the
wheel, drew him out, and carried him
into the house also, providing for the
injured mems comfor. with all the
means at their command. When they
had done this, one remained to take
care Of them, and the other mounted
a horse and rode post haste for ply

4 CURIOUS PLACE FOR ,BIRD's NEST.
The Salem Gazette relates that blue
bird built a nest in one of the venti-
lator boxes of a car on the South
Reading Branch Railroad, which
travels regularly fifty miles every day,
but is laid up every night at South
Reading. The bird in due time de-
posted her eggs, sitting upon them
regularly at night, but not, Of course,
when the cars were in motion. Last
Thursday three young birds were
hatched but, unfortunately, a picnic
on the following day required the use
of the c&r, which did not make its
customary stay at South Reading on
that night, and two Of them died IN
consequence of a lack of attention
from the mother. The third, how
ever, is living and doing we'll, al
though the employees on the road
have occasion to turn the ventilator
with slam many times daily. The
old bird has been seen. perched on
the branch of a nelghboring tree in
South Reading, with a worm or insect
in her mouth, awaiting the arrival of
the train with her lonely child on
board. The little Hedgeling is now
called "a bird of passage" and is
thought to be. the most interesting
and welcome dead head" that now
rides over the road by the season.

Correspondence of the Chicago Journal
The Meeting of Congress.
WAsHINGTON.- June :

w unG 20.
We are now on the threshold Of
July, and it is fixed fact that there
viii be session of Congress. Every
day new members arrive. and almost
hourly kilograms are received from
others, signifying their intention to
be on hand on the third ultimo.
The concurrlng testimony of all
who come here is, that the public ne
cessity demands the convening of the
National Legislature. The opinion of
Mr. Stanberry as to the legal effect of
the Reconstruction Act, and the mo-
dus operandt of executing it. which
practically nullifies it; the Telegram 10
Of Steedman to the President, for the
removal of Sheridan; the declaration
of Little Phil, " in his letter to Gen.
Grant, that this opinion has opened
9 a gasdcodanaized road for pez3ury to
fraUet on all point to the necessity
for Immediate action on the part Of
Congress, all plead for a supplement
al act which shall so express the
meaning Of Congress that no lawyer,
however subtle, and Ingenious his
sophistrles, can explain = away or
abridge In the least the power created
or conferred by the act.
-.sP e THE Two-THIRDs VOTE. *
s The question now, which agitates
the Washington world is, whether the
radical party in Congress will have
two-t thirds vote in order to override
the Executive veto. For no one pre-
sunes he will give his assentto any
legislation which shall look to a de-
NAL Of his theory Of the rebel State
Governments, either de Jttcto Or de-
.jure.
Several Senators and Representa-
tives are still abroad; besides, nearly
the whole delegation from the Pac:fc
coast are at home, and no word has
been received from them saying they
viii be here. In all, there are some
forty absent from the country or be
yond reach of speedy communication.
The Democracy will be here il full
strength, as well as the conservative
element of the Republican party.
Senator Doolittle is the only opposi-
tion man away, and it is said he viii
return by the 10Th Of July
Asyet there are not enough heard

The Muster-R0Ils of the Confederate
Army.

We give an abstract of the returns
of ali the armies of the Confederacy
for nearly every month, from the be-
ginning of 1862 down to the begin
ming Of 1964-the entire active period
of the war, saving a few weeks at the
close. The greatest number actually
borne at any one time on their muster
rolls was $4,000, and this was only
when by robbing the cradle and the
grave every male from seventeen to
fifty was enrolled in the army. Half
a million is the utmost nominally en-
relied al. any other period. The great
est number present for duty at any
one time, and that for only brief
period, was 100000; to which should
probably be added a few thousand
rangers, partisans and bushwhackers.
There were not three periods of
month when they had 100000. The
Army of Northern Virginia, under
Lee, was the great strength of the
Confederacy. At only three periods
did it for a month number 100000
men present for duty.-N. T. Tribune.
