THERE is prospect of serious complica-
tions between England and Spain, growing
out of tie recent seizure of vessels. Dulce
has patched up counter claim against
England, at which the governor Of New
Providence is highly indignant. The di-
rection of colonial affairs is never certain, ,
and these petty difficulties will vanish
when reviewed by the home governments
Spain can as little afford to quarrel with a
promised ally as that ally can afford to
give up effete ideas regarding monarchial
prestige. 1t would, however, be singu-
-larly retributive if Nassau, the illicit ira
ding ground between England and the
Southern Confederacy, the den and keep
of all the pirates that preyed upon the
commerce of the United States during the
rebellion. should, for the same offences
against Spain, bring England a second
time-into disgrace. But these rumored
comp Ilications rest only upon the recent
telegraph dispatches, which, under the
excitement now existing in the West In
dies, are often exaggerated and frequently
entirely imaginary.

President Grant himself bears his du-
ties well, and wears his honors with manly
modesty. His mistakes are probably only
Belmont repeated. In appearance and
manner there Is a marked improvem ent.
lie locks better AID moves with more ease
as President, than he did formerly when
receiving as General aud hero of the war !;
the latter being of course the light in
hich most visitors approached. 1t troub-
led him. His "literal mindedness" of
intellect sufficiently accounts for such en-
barrassment. As President, nearly every
interview mast assume more or less of Il
business aspect, aud this suits President
Grant.
In dress, President Grant appears with
scrupulcus ueatness. His face, With all
its famous impassiveress, has more alert
air than formerly. He receives visitors
sitting at desk, and when they approach
him he turns in his chai: 90 as to have
the light behind him aud in your face,
iIto which he looks while you are talking,
with a quiet steadiness that you must no.
tice while yet i, does not specially embar-
rnss you. lie hears what you have to say
directly bearing on your business, asking
a Question if necessary, and dismisses

BY an act of the General Assec, bly,
of Pennsylvania, approved the 31st OF
March, A. D. 1869, penalty of f,centy-
fire dollars is imposed for the killing of
any insectivorous bird one-half of this
fine to be paid to the informer. Here is
an opportunity to make twelve dollars and
a half and render the community effective
service. There is no practice so inhuman
as the killing of the pretty little songsters
that warble beneath our windows and glad
den our hearts. 1t is the duty Of every
good citizen to prevent their destruction,
and this can only be done by prosecuting
those who violate the law. The birds
that are classcd under this head of insec-
tivorcus birds are robins, martins. swal-
lows, blue birds, wood peckers, &c, &c, in
fact all the various small birds seen in this
lttitude.

TaE CRoPs.-Trustworthy reports rela-
tive to the crop prospects from this coun-
try and State, uniformly represent that
the winter wheat is not only safe, but in
good thrifty condition, and at this late
day We nay consider it safe beyond any
ordinary danger. 1t is noteworthy that
the usual ordinary ominous reports of ex-
tens've winter killing co not as usual
reach us this season, and from this fact
alone we might be led to anticipate pros
porous and healthy condition Of the grow
ing wheat crop.

complished in Boston couple of weeks
ago by Walter Brown, the noted oarsman.
was again performed by him on Friday
last at the Jersey Cry Velocipedrome.
The distance t. be ridden required no less
than seven hundred and thirty one cir.
cults OF the hall, there being fourteen cir
cuts and fraction over to a mile The
time occupied from the start to the close
was five hours and forty-six minutes The
actual time in riding, however, was but
four hours and twenty minutes, within
three minutes of the time occupied in ri.
ding the same distance in Boston. st
the Jersey City Rink, however, he had tc
ride the Feircuit of the bail one hundred
and fifty-eight more times than at the
Boston Rink, so that he really did better
riding there than in Boston.

SOME days ago U. S. Senator Sprague,
of Rhode Island. was delivered Of long
and wOrdy speech in favor of-nobody
knows exactly what. In the course of
some debate which followed the speech,
Mr. Sprague drew simile between apup-
py-dog and 4 mastif and two certain Sen
ators Senator Abbott, of North Carolina,
appears to have imagined himself the pup
py-dog spoken of, and forthwith made a
violent harangue, redolent of blood and
bowie-kuifes Since that date, the tele-
graphic dispatches of the newspapers have
teemed with surmises as to the probability
or improbability Of duel between the po-
tent, grave, and reverend belligerents
Though not an advocate of the ''code, %
we think this duel ought to come Off When
one Senator can stoop so low as to insti-
tutc a comparison between brother Sen
ator and dog, and when the other Sena-
tor can so far forget the dignity of his
station as to rise in place and talk of "sat-
isfaction," &c, some instrumentality
ought to be invoked to rid the Senate of
their mutual presence-and why not ''pis-
tolls for two?"

THE semi. centennial anniversary of Odd
Fellowship in the United States was eele-
brated in all the principal towns and cit
les of the Union on Monday, In Phila-
delphia, the ceremonies were particularly
imposing. A grand procession, which oc-
cupicd two and one-quarter hours passing
given point, was one of the features,
and ball in the evening, attended by
thousands, was another. A delegation of
the fraternity of Ebensburg participated
in the Philadelphia celebration. The or
der of Odd Fellows is a philanthrOpic
organization. During the half century of
its existence, it has expended in the Uni
ted States alone the sum Of $40, ,153, $50
for the relief of the sick, assistance of
widows and orphans, and in burying the
dead. Is it not worthy Of all praise?

A Fool, Ora RIackguard.

It is one Of the infelicities of editorial
life that newspaper is open to the criti-
cism of all The politician, the preacher,
the merchant, the mechanic, the labor
ing man, and even the loafer may
criticize it as the spirit happens to move
All this is not entirely palatable, but is
expected and can be endured. Eut when
a mongrel thing like the so-calied Ten
perdnce Tindicator undertakes 20 pass
judgment upon it, we submis that it is
the last feather on the cameps back
Speaking for ourselves, VIC can say that we
can endure the criticism of al classes of
society, excepting fools and blackguards.
The editor Of the indicator is either a
fool, with ears foot long, else he is a
blackguard, with itching ears and forked
tongue. We ask it as special favor,
that he will refrain from shaking either
his ears or his tongue at US in the future.

FOUND DEAD.-On Sunday morning last some
young men hunting quail and rabbits in the
vicinity Of the old line k!ns back of Mrs. Mac
pherson's place, three miles west of this city,
found the dead body of a woman, partly covered
with snow and almost entirely bsreft of clothing
On reporting tie fact in town, Coroner Dyer re-
paired to the spot and had the body brought to
this city where, after lying a day for inentif-
cation, coroner's jury summoned, and the
case investigated. The facts elicted were sub
stially these. That the name of the woman was
Catherine Fisher; that she had for the last four
or five years been inmate of our county poor
house; that Though ordinarily sane, and always
harmless, she had occasional insane spells, dur
ing which her propensity was to hide away or
escape; that she had formerly escaped from the
county house on two or three such occasions, but
had always been recovered that she got away
sgsia on Tuesday OF last week; that no special
effort had been made to fnd her before Saturday,
and that then one of the hired men on the ia I'm
had been sent to Ottawa to make inquiry. The
woman is said to be about 80 years of sge-Ger-
man-and to have husband living in Peru
