sa~ In the late debate in the Brit
ish House Of Commons, on the Irish
church question, Mr.. Odgers used the
following plain language Among
those present were the Archbishop of
Armagh. He belonged to the fami.
ly OF the Beresfords, which had re,
ceived about four millions of money
from the revenues of the Irish Church.

lion of it. Renewed hisses.1 That
Archbishop of Armagh appeared to
him to cling, leech-like, upon the car
cass that had fattened his family for

peApState Journal gives a detailed
account of a diabolical robbery and
OF almost the brutal murder of q man
and his wife who were coming down
the Wisconsin river, in boat They
were attacked while in camp, and

ssA. The New York Sun, in speak
ing Of the movement to bring out
CHASE as Democratic candidate
for President, says -" Tammany
Hall is now hot for Old Greenbacks
HoRATIo SEYMOUR is for him; AU-
GUST BELMONT is for him the Mar
quis of Tweed is for him so is OAK.
Ely HALL, so are NELSON J. WATER
BURY and SAMUEL J. TILDEN, and the
rest of the BarnbGrners. So. we
dare say, are FERNANDO WcoD and
General john A. GREEN. 1t is a
wonderful revolution. Such rapid

sg One of the greatest achieves
ments of the age, the great railway
over Mont Gents, between France
and Italy, has been complicated, and
cars now pass over that picturesque
and celebrated rout in about five
hours. The speed is between twelve
and thirteen miles an hour-quite

the curiosities of the line is that the
trains need no engine for half the
way-that is they go down on each
side by their own Momentum, regula
ted, of couse, by brakes.
The Lafayette County Union
says that Mrs c. d. futile and Miss
Doyle, her sister, were drowned
while attempting to cross the Peca>

the river nearly eight feet. Real
estate commands a high price in
the village and throughout the coun-
ty. Mr. Joseph Colbeck had val

ming and killed.
sDr Hon. Reverdy Johnson, of
Maryland. whose term of office as I'm
tied States senator expires on the
next 4th..of March, was confirmed as
Minister to England by the Senate.
The only DIGESTION there could be to
NJ. Johnson is his conservatism. -
He was a firm Union man during the
war, and is unquestionably one of our
ablest statesman.

ricultural school of q high order, is
about to be rendered effective aud

proving the agriculture Of the South,
and developing it vast resources.
