That was indeed a night for Holland.
In peaceful little country villages wea-
ricd men lay down to dream of labors of
another day; mothers pillowed their
little ones on their arms and reioiced in
their sweet sleep; nurses watched the
uneasy rest of the sick; evil men awoRc
to their deeds of darkness, and went
steaithily about. Suddenly, a distant
hum, like the sound of evening insects
around sunny oak. 1t grows louder !;
now it is like the wind in the distant
fotest. A strange, cold spraycy gale. a
fearful shaking md trembling as of an
earthquake. A rumbling and below
ing, louder ticrcer, wilder; than a roar
of water-a few shricks, q few moments
struggles, and the village was blotted out
from the world. Between sunrise and
sunset eighty thousand persons went to
their last account
Two houses only stood where the in
undation reached; one the castle of
Bredrode, near Dot; and the farm of
Jan Maarsen, at i<amp.
And a hundred years after, before
Maarsen's gate, might be seen stone,
with the legend, in old Dutch letters:
"Bc not forgetful to entertain stran-
gers; for thereby some have entertained
angels unawares.n

NAPIER, THE ABYssINIAN CONQUER
oR.-Sir Robert Napier, the general
commanding the Abyssinian expedition
is not member of the historic Napier
family. He was born in Ceylon, entered
the Indian army at the age of sixteen,
and has participated in most of the mill
tary enterprises in India during the
last forty years. Without family con-
nection or patronage he has fought his
way upward to the foremost rank in the
Indian army, is a Knight of the Bath
and of the Star in India, and at Mag
dala he has undoubtedly won for him
self peerage and a pension.

One shameful popularity of the Amer
lean people that we should hasten to
correct is, that no trust, however grave,
sacred or valuable is safe from abuse.
The latest instance Of our infamous
greed is to be found in the attempt made
by the California Legislature, now I'M
der the control of some ring, to break
through the conditions, imposed by Con
gress upon that State, in it's grant of
lands, looking to the preservation Of the
2 Yosemite Valley as park Of pleasure
ground to all corners. 20
sre A bill was passed in the Legislature
giving to two squatters the right, denied
s all others, to cut, dig, build towns and
Q sell liquors in this most beautiful scene
of widest nature The bill was vetoed
by the Governor, and then passed over
his head, and now the ring approaches
Congress for al confirmation of their in
9 iquity. We trust our Representatives
and Senators will come down on the
ring with such force that it will take its
members many years to dig it up and out
of the mud under which they deserve to
be buried Gin. Chronicle sa

ERRATA-In noticing the family of
Mr.. John Parshall, sr., our types made
a mistake in the No. Of the Regiment in
which David T. Parshall first enlisted
it should have been 57th instead of 9th.
A mistake also occurred in the name. of
the fourth son mentioned in our article,
it should have been Anderson instead of
Andrew as we have it. The 9th volun-
teer out Of this brave family, was omit
ted entirely, and we now supply it:
Nathaniel Parshall, volunteered in the

He was discharged for disability and re-

The Bankrupt Law.

The impression prevailing to some ex-
tent at least, that after June 1st, 1868,
no person failing in business, whose as
sets do not amount to fifty cents on the
dollar Of his Indebtedness, can procure
a discharge from his liabilities under the
Bankrupt Act, the following section of
the law will show that the assent of a
majority, in number and amount, of his
creditors, will enable him to do So
''And in all proceedings in Bankruptcy,
commenced one year from the time this
act shall go into operation, no discharge
shall be granted to debtors whose assets
do not pay fifty per centum of the claims
against his estate, unless the assent in
writing of majority in lumber and

their claimes is filed in the case at or be-

DEATHS BY DIR OWNING On Saturday

just below Mering's dam, opposite the

his dinner to him, and, with some other
small boys, went to the river to bathe-
the little fellow could not swim and got
beyond his depth, and before assistance
could reach him he sunk to the bottom;--
several minutes relapsed before.his boz
dy was recovered, and, although every
| thing was done to estore him to life,
the vital spark could not be recalled,
and his lifeless body WAS conveyed to
his heart stricken parents.
On yesterday Monday evening, a
young man by the name Of Henry West,
aged about 10 years, together with three
others, went to battle in the river inst
above the National Bridge. The water,
where they went in, was only some three
to four feet in depth. and young West,
being an expert swimmer, when he cried
out that he had taken the cramp and
was drowning, his comrades thought he
was making sport; but they fastened to
his assistance, and did all they could to
rescue him-their efforts were futile
he had sunk out of sight, and. after div
ing for him until a late hour in the night
they postponed the search for his body
until this morning, when Mr. Samuel
Barnett brought it up very near the
spot where he had disappeared. A Cor.

rhe Locust Sting and its Larve.

COL The Locust Sting and its Larvse.
d A couple of small branches, from two
apple trees, were brought into our Office
by Mr.. Joseph Bowser, for our inspec-
ton The branches were some ten or
tive I've inches in length and of tender
thickness, and each were punched, at
intervals of about one inch, by the locust
sting. Upon being broken at these pla
ces, deposits of larve, or the egg Of the
locust, were found in large numbers
more than five hundred, we believe, hav.
ing been contained in these small spaces.
The egg resembles, when viewed by the
naked eye, a small white triangular speck
hardly distinguishable; but by the aid
of the common microscope they looked
like a very large and plump grain of
rice, and almost transparent in their
Wilderness After short time the glass
showed themto have lost their plump
ness, and to be perfectly fiat--just as a
e depleted bedbug would appear, after long
hungering and thirsting after blood, or
q fattend ground worm upon sidewalk,
} after having been trod upon by divers
heels. The branches are sail to- die
. whenever those perforations or deposits
are made, and the extent of the ravages
in this line is considerable. r. bs aE3
