strange telegraphic freak is reported from New
York. About two weeks ago couple Of wires on the
New York Central railroad began to act very unrca
sonably. At ten O'Clock in the morning they would
strive work" and resume at four iii the afternoon.
A careful examination Of the line produced result.
The Superintendent bimself looked into the matter,
and saw nothing. It complete puzzle. An old
Albany operator, however, was more successful:
About sixty miles west of that city he found point
where the wires passed the roof of a building,
almost touching it. As the rose the wire fell and
at twelve o'clock they lay suugly together on the tin
roof As the sun fell they cooled ard rose, and by
four o'clock they were in their proper positions. OF
course the trouble was rectifed.

EsCoBEDoS BL0oDTHIRsrY LETrER.-On the first
appearance of a telegraphic summary of Escobedo's
letter. its authenticity doubted by many, but the
following which we clip from the Brownsville Ranch
ero of the goth, settles the matter:
The execution of the traitors, which had the salts
faction of directing good food for digestion. will
satisfy the Europeans and the Yankees too, that to
trihe with Mexicans is death by the law. Had we
complied with the request of the Yankees, to spare
the fbstero and his associate traitors it would have
been taken for cowardice, and the next thing would
have been request to give up our lands, mines
and cur women. After this shall be allowed to
worship our own God, till own soil, work own
mines, and not have our women defled by Yankee
ibertncs.
l am now in favor of making clean work of the de-
tested Gringos." This country belongs to God and
US; and Just so long as one foreigner remains
SOIL liberty is in jeopardy. By every in
power should make the country Mexican; and as
all the property in the hands of foreigners made
by our misforrunes, should take it, that we
have the power, and hunt them from the country. Ny
motto now is, death to all estrangeros'
There no danger of the Yankees interfering with
US SO long the Southern States estados del Sur
kept cut of the Union, besides the black would
side with us and may at any time pronounce against
the whites. Before we get through with the foreign
ers the Yankees will think we are in earnest, and the
time will come when their notables will be begging for
their own heads instead of begging fer the Austrans.
In our struggles tor liberty we have lost nearly ALL
Our lands and our mines, and our liberty, and our
women and our honors we stlshave, but the foreign
ers have all the available wealth of the republic but
they will see in less than three years that Mexcans will
have what they want in Mexico. i ou will understand
from this my position; and should ] by any chance
whatever become candidate, you will understand my
unaterable platform Whenever the time comes you
can make this letter public in such manner as you
think proper. I know that you and ! think alike on
these matters, and know that my countrrmen will
applaud our patriotic determination.

Billiard tables are hereafter to be used in the British
army, $500, 900 in gold having recently been appro-
priated by Parliament to supply these tables to the
army officers in the various barracks throughout the

The Democratic stump speakers in Ohio,
/ IN their resistance to the cnfranohisug of
the colored citizens, present the issue that
any white rebel aud traitor is better than
the NEST faithful aud patriotic black man.
| They resist the Acknowledgement Of any
white man for the worst of all crimes. aud
they resist the eniranohisemeut of black
men, whose color was the sure mark Of loy.
ally in the national struggle. They would
put the rebel leaders, without any token Of
repentance, into the control of their States
and Of the National Government, while
they would deny any political rights TO tie
small colored population Of Ohio. whose
fidelity aud good conduct as citizous can
not be impeached. In short, they would
establish it as Democratic principle to
control our governmental policy that awhile

Tin in Missouri.

A ST Louis correspondent of tho Chicago
Repubticaa confirms the report of the dis
covery Of valuable tin mines in Missouri,
He asserts that scientific gentleman of
Illinois has for ten years past believed in
the existence of these deposits, and has
made several explorations. From the mar
row lodes he traced the direction, aud
found larger lodes exposed in wild and un-
frequented parts of the hjlly aud mountain
Gus region Of southwestern Missouri. Thus
lar fenrteen different kinds of ore have
been found. No shaft has yet been sunk
~ well-defined lodes over twelve or fifteen
ieet, and at this depth ore has been found
which, in the opinion OF expt tr.enoed Corn
wall miners, will yield from ten to twenty
five per cent.
The tin region extends over an area Of
from twenty to twenty-five miles. In this
region the ore frequently crops out on the
hillsides, and is never far from the surface,
where it occurs at all. If the assays prove
the correctness of the letter whose sub
stance we have given, as to the quality
OF the ore, it can not be long before these
easily worked veins of this valuable metal
will be made immensely productive.

cuPied for the exhibition the closing exercises,

the highest degree.
The exercises were opened by the teacher aud
pupils repeating the Lords Prayer in concert after
which there were recitations and dialogues inter-
spersed with music All acquitted themselves
with credit, considering the age of the pupils
All the rccitatinnS anl the singing was delivered
with clesrness and good articulation which showed
the perseverance and energy of the teacher in drill
ing her pupils in elocutiOn.
AT the close of the exercises, the teacher an
nounced the name of the successful competitor for
the prizs given by Mr.. KANE 10 Mi ELLA Rock
WOOD given for general proficiency in her studies,
good attendance and good conduct.
Rev. n. I. FAY, then addressed the pupils
compmentng them for the success in their stu lies,
and gave them words of encouragement and ad-
vice. Remarks made to pupils and parents also
by Messrs. JOHN BURNET and j. w. ADAMS.
Tho teacher then gave her farewell address, to
parents and pupils, at the ose of which one of the
pupils presented her in behalf of the school beau
utul album-quilt, accompanied by neat address.
The teacher wholly unaware of this part of the
programme, was deeply affected, and responded
briefly, thanking them for the beautiful present,
which would ever be token of friendship between
them.
The pupils and visitors then marched to the
school-room, which was beautifully ornamented
with wreaths, boquets, pictures, charts &C., and
found a table laden with substantials and delica-
cies to suit the most fastidious.
At,r a change came over the appearance of tho
table, and all had satisfied the inner man." tie
