The FesUs.

General HeintZeiman mas Deen put upon
the retired list, with the rank and pay of a
major general The Knoxville Wing states
, that a difficulty occurred at Clinton, Tenn,
recently, in which a number of gentlemen
participated, and which ended in M. V. Boren
shooting Wash. Van The bali entered his
breast, glancing around his body and COM
ing out at his side, without seriously injuring
him, no bones nor arteries being broken. A
one-armed revenue collector in Smith county
y Tennessee, has been convicted of the fraudu-
lent investment of public moneys in gam
bling operations. He had excited much sy u
pathy from his armless condition, but his con-
duct proves him to have been rogue after
ALL 1t depends good deal upon how man
loses limb to cntitle him TO sympathy and
confidence. The Twitchell case continues to
excite attention at Philadelphia, and the be-
lief in the innocence of Mrs Twitchellis very
prevalent. 1t is now said that Twitchell
confessed to at least one person that he was
the sole murderer, and that his wife knew
nothing of the affair until after the bloody
visions ofthe reciprocity treaty the value OF
goods imported into the United States from
the British provinces in the 1855 was $780,,
176,977, on which the duties amounted to
$s,8s7. In 1868 upon $9s,599, 1876 worth of
goods imported from the same Provinces the
duties amounted to $9,2s9,916. The Pope's
jubilee was celebrated n Rome wit h
great splendor. The Pope said mass at st.
Peters and TIE Deum was sung in the pres
ence Of the cardinals, the foreign ministers,
notables from all parts Of Europe and an i'm;
mense congregation. In the evening the
city was illuminated. Montana dispatches
say advices from Fort Ellis state that on the
9th party of ten Indians stole the cattle and
horses from rancho on Dey Creek. A par
ty of fifteen or twenty citizens and four
mounted soldiers from Fort Ellis pursued,
overlook and killed nine of them. A dis
patch from Little Rock says the steamer G.
A. Thompson, from Cincinnati, struck q snag
in the Arkansas river, near Pine Bluff, and
sunk, on Friday. Seventeen lives were lost,
besides the vessels entire cargo. Edward
Hanly, saloon keeper in New York city,
became depressed in spirits in consequence
of his failure to collect some money due him.
On Saturday he procured quarter Of an
ounce of strychnipe and about 10 o'clock the
same evening put it into glass of gin and
drank it. Medical aid was called but to no
purpose as he died in less than an hour
Senator Srr:.,;,.,c Il engaged in revising his
speeches for publication in pamphlet form.
The series is not as complete as he might
desire, but he is satisfied there is enough to
leayen the rejecting mind of country
and keep it seriously employed until Con-
gress again assemblies, when he intends to
resume his exposures of the rotten timber
that enters into the composition ofthe Amer
lean body, social and political. A Boston
letter Of the 10th instant states that Mrs.
Morrill,, school teacher at Mediocre, near Bos-
ton, on that day abused little girl 10 years
old in the most shameful manner, for saying
that she was laughing "at nothing" The
child was beatenron the hands with a ruler
until blisters were raised. She was then
dragged across desk by the throat and
thrown upon the floor, the teacher putting
her knees upon her, stomach and striking
several heavy blows with Q very large rnler
Tier dress and under clothing were nearly
torn from her person. She was then locked
up and left in the echooi room alone, and
only released when her mother came for her
A doctor was called to see her and when he
raised the little sufferer up she tainted from
exhaustion consequent upon the terrible pun
ishment she had received. The child,s body
was covered with bruises all over, and her
stomach SO swollen that the clothes which
remained on her bad to be cut off. The
teacher was arrested, and when brought be-
fore the humane authorities Of Massachusetts,
she was Discharged on the ground that the
child was stubborn and needed correction
This is the land where societies for preven-
ton of cruelty to animals flourish, and no
doubt but that this detachable female is one
of the prominent members of these societies
Is 1t not time to establish in that vicinity
society for the prevention of cruelty to help
less children, as well animals. The town of
Hancock, Michigan, was almost totally des-
troyed by fire last week Sixty Ave acres
were burnt over. One hundred and ten
dwellings, were burnt, beside large number
Of barns and other out houses. More than
two hundred families were left homeless, or
lost the greater part Of their property. The
loss is estimated at 100000. The ship King
William was destroyed by fire in the harbor
of Honolulu, on the 10th of March. The
New York Herald says: 1.-THE Prince of
Wales receives two hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars per annum. The Republican
Legislature justly considers New York State
greater country than the British EN-
pirc, and is as touchy about the first
subject, Albert Edward, receiving great
er civil revenue than Jimmy 0'Brien, the
first citizen of New York, who only gets two
hundred thousand dollars, flor being Sheriff.
1t therefore passed bill giving him over a
million of dollars per annum." The same
paper says "a Republican Congress would
not raise Grants salary beyond twenty-five
thousand dollars. But Grant was only chief
of soldiers who shot rebels. A Republican
Assembly raises Jimmy O'Brien's revenue
from two hundred thousand to one million
