THE NORTH WESTERN FARMER for
April is before us. repletc as usual with
useful and interesting reading as we'll as
quite attractive in its general appearance
and from its beautiful illustrations. This
new Western monthly is now in its second
year, and from It's appearance and the con-
slant improvement that is noticeable each
month, VIC judge that it has passed the
doubtful. point, and is as reliable and per.
manent as any Of the older journals.
We can scarcely understand how the
publisher can furnish so large and fine a
Magazine for so small sum, and it will
certainly DO still moro wonderful, if he
does not receive very large list Of pat
rons at his rates. 1t Is cminently live
Western Agricultural and Horticultural
Journal, and merits the support Of every
friend Of those interests in this great sec.
ton. Terms 81 year. T. A. BLAND,

LETTER FROM HARRISON.
HARRISON. ID. Apri.

-->~-~-'f ~ - pa &Ctfs
Dear American,-To- day is an import.
ant era in the history of the whiskey-reb-
el-sympathizing- Butternut Democracy in
Harrison. 1t is too early at this writing
to pronounce as to the result, but CON-
parison Of the ticket presented by the two
parties would pretty clearly indicate the
moral character and standing of those
constituting the parties represented by
each. We are often surprised that so many
who claim to be moral, law-abiding. and
even religious men, are found identified
with and supporting for Office the drunk
ard, the liquor-seler, the gambler and
loaier, and, in addition, those disqualified
both by natural deficiency of talents and
profound ignorance. Well, we may be
certain that our State Constitution will
never be changed by coppsrhead votes so
as to require an educational test, as quail
fication, to vote or hold Office.
The boot and shoe shop Of Mr.. +. Hill
man, and the wooden factory Of w. w.
DAWSON & Co. were entered by burglars
last night and the scoundrels escaped
without detection. Mr.. Hilman loses
twenty or thirty dollars worth Of stock,
and Mr.. Dawson perhaps near hundred
dollars worth.
believe the Rev. Mr.. Chase has con-
cluded definitely to come to our town, but
1 am not informed when his school will
open. We hope he will commence at an
early day, and have no fears but success
and prosperity will attend his enterprise
4 good school is one of the great wants
Of our beautiful village. We have many
children, employ six teachers in our COM
mon schools, expend large sums for their
main tai nance, but for many months they
have proved one very grand failure; aud
while under the control Of directory 30
emphatically disqualified for their position,
We cannot expect much Improvement.
At present there are but few buildings
going up in Harrison. A few small
houses arc in course Of erection, and oui
friends of the Methodist Episcopal Church
are putting up n large church edi6ce
They will, with their numbers and cap
ital, perhaps find it difficult to meet ths
outlay, but we have heard that another
society are quietly waiting to take it of
their hands when completed.
Absence from the village, want Of time
for gathering up items, and press of bust
ness, must be my excuse for the dearth o.
news in this; but with the promise Of
trying TO do better at some future time,
remain yours, PE2RY MoNrRosE.

capture of great sea serpent on the
coast of France on the ed OF December.
which, it says, can he vouched for BY
pretty nearly the whole populace Of the
town. The specimen in question is
about thirteen feet in length, and was
caught on the line of some fisherman in
the waters of Cape Cepet. 1t was
brought up by the captors, while yet liv-
ing, to the Boulevard de la Rviere, in
Toulon, and there was visited by crowds
of persons during the latter part of the
day. Itwas stretched across number
of casks which lay opposite to NJ.

to the boulevard. The body is perfectly
cylindrical, and is about four and half
inches in diameter, terminating in a
short pointat the tail. Its ceioris a uni
form deep gray on the upper part, and
beneath Is of yellowish white. 1t has
no fins nor scales. nor is there any pro-
jecting bone Or horn in any part. In
color 1t much resembles the conger, but
could never be mistaken for tha. fish.

Passage OF the Colorado and
Nebraska Bills,

The Senate has finally concluded ac.
ton upon the Colorado and Nebraska
Bills, both of which were pass ID on the
9TH inst, by q good majority, though not
by a two-thifds vote. The test question
was made upon the Nebraska Bill. MI
mesous amendments We're proposed and
rejected. The Edmunds' amendment
was at first lost by tic vote, but at a
subsequent stage Of the proceedings. it
was carried by two majority.
This amendment is in these words :
"This act shall take effect with the fun
damental and perpetual condition that
within said State of Nebraska there shall
be no abridgment or denial of the exer-
else of the elective franchise, or of any
other right to any person by reason OF
race or color, excepting Indians, not
taxed The Bill, after the adoption OF
this amendment, was passed by vote
Of y to Is.
The Colorado Bill was at once taken
up and passed, with the same amend.
ment, by vote Of n to L. The mum.
Der Of absentecs in the Senate was large
and the friends Of the bills believe tina,

can carry the necessary two-thirds vote
but this is by no means certain.

first families of Fifeshire with his faith
er's cook. The young gentleman had
been reared with the greatest care, and
had only returned from Elton last year
with high academic honors. He was
destined by his father as the husband of
young and beautiful heiress, to whom
he had even paid his addresses.
The bride who is buSom brunette, is
by some years Older than the bridegroom,
and has been in the family for c0nsid-
cradle period. It was discovered that
they had departed forSIontrosc, whittier

to find them slumbering IN each others

about to eject her from lie bedroom,
when she collarcd her quondam master,
and hurled him hcadlong from the apart

The House did two things on the Sth
inst, and did both with unmistakabie
vim and earnestness. First it coiscurred
with the Senate i'm passing the District
Suffrage Bill over the Presidents veto,
and second, it passed q bill making it
felony to sentence or sell negroes into
slavery Us punishment for crime The
galleries were crowded at an early hour,
the attendance being greater than on
any previous day of the session. Very
few OF the spectators were negroes. The
veto was taken up very soon after the
journal had been read. OF course some
time was occupied in reading 1t, during
which members and spectators waited
- patiently possible. Chairman
Inger4JA, Of the District Committee, re-
fused to allow any specch-making,
though several Democratic members
appeared anxious TO waste little time
In that direction. There was consider
able applause in the galleries when the
Speaker announced the result of the vote
yeas 1l3, nays 3S-- and said the bill
has become law, the Presidents objec-
ton to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Kasson bill, relating to the Con-
stitutional Amendment abolishing
slavery, was taken up as soon ne the
veto had been disposed of. The pro-
slavery Maryland officials were de-
nounced in good round terms, and the
debate made it clear that Congress will
find some way to reach the case of such
fellows as Judge Magruder and others,
who order negroes sold into slavery. 1t
came out during the debate, as illustra-
tive OF the spirit still existing in Mary
land, that bill has been introduced in
to the Legislature of that State to indem-
Nifty Magruder against the sentence pro-
nounced upon him in the United States
Courts for the violation OF the provision
of the Civil Rights Bill. The debate al
SO brought out the fact that bill had
been introduced into that Legislature
repeating some OF the most Odious fea-
lures Of the negro laws, but none of her
Representatives were able to give the
least assurance that it would ever be-
come law. The bill passed by the
House to-day makes it felony to sentence
or sell negroes into slavery, and the Of
fence is punishable by fine up to five
thousand dollars or Imprisonment up to
ten years. ..r
