CoRoNER's PRoCEEDNGs-Coroner Gould
was called upon Monday afternoon to view the
body of the child found in the woods near Lii
gonia Village. and he, together with the two
gentlemen who accompanied him, came to the
conclusion that the child was about four or
five weeks old at the time of its death, but the
body was too much decomposed for them to as
certain whether it had died a natural death or
not. 1t was uncommonly well dressed, having
on a nice embroidered flannel skirt and fine
linen night-gown 1t was laid in a box about
two and half feet long, and deposited under
a tree not more than fifty feet from the road.
1t was discovered by little girl who was pick
ing Mayfowers. The Coroner ordered the
body to be buried.
The Coroner's jury in the case of Black, who
was drowned at Vaughan's bridge, Saturday
evening" found that the deceased was in state
of intoxication when he fell overheard and
thus came to his death.

TEMPERANCE RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THE
MAINE Communicable following resolu-
tions, presented by Rev. j. e. G. Sawyer, edi-
tor of the Riverside Echo at the session of the
Maine Conference held at Saccarappa, were
unanimously adopted:
ResotUed, That esteeming it the duty of Chris
tian men to vote as they pray, and viewing the
ballot-box one of the most appropriate an6
powerful instrumentalities that can be made
use OF in the interest of morality we will
neither vote ourselves, nor encourage others to
vote, for any party, measures, or men, not
practically devoted to the cause of prohibition.
Res0lUed, That the course taken by the Leg
islature and the Chief Executive of this State,
during the past two years, has so crippled and
destroyed the influence OF the Prohibitory law,
that it is no longer enforced except in rare in
stances, and there accordingly prevails such
an amount of degradation and crime as must
fill with sorrow and Indignation the heart of
every true friend of Temperance.
The following, which'was presented original
ly as the thirl of the series, was rejected:
Resol0ed, That we look forward with interest
to the approaching session of che State Tenn
perance Committee, and give earnest express
sion to the hope that the result of its deibera-
tions will be the calling of State Convention,
in which the political duties now devolved up
on the friends of this cause may be duly con-
sidered.

script says that Mrs. Caroline E. Brown, of
Waterford, mother of the late Charles F.
Brown, more widely known as g Artemus
Ward after waiting long, by the advice of
friends, for the public to erect a monument
over the grave of her son, and feeling mortified
that there is nothing to mark his resting
place, has determined to put up gravestone
at her own expense. In furtherance of this
object the editor of the Transcript has trans
mitted to her the sum of $31. 80, principal and
interest, placed in his hands as contributions
towards the erection of a monument. Mrs.
Brown has never received cent from the
property of her son.

The English papers give little stronger
version of the bold speech of the Mayor Of
CORK at the banquet in honor of Warren and
Costelloe than We have before received on this
sac OF the Atlantic, 1t is no wonder it star
ties Englishmen little to learn that Mr..
oNsuliivan denounced England in the stron-
gest terms; declared his readiness, if he were
able, to drive every Englishmau out of Ire
land; and held up 0'Farrell as national be-
TO, and worthy of all honor Tor attemntino to
assassinate the Duke of Edinburgh in Anstro-

THE EI0HT-HoUR LAw-THE Presidents
PRoCLAMATIOS-VIsIT OF DELEGATION or
WoRKISGMES TO THB PREsTDEsT.-Ycs-
terday morning a committee consisting Of
Messrs. James r. Street, Charles Frost, Of
the Washington navy yard and other dele
gates from other navy yards Of the country,
visited the Executive Mansion for the pur-
pose Of obtaining the views Of the President
as to whether his p. )clamatlon In relation
to the eight-hour law intended that the full
days pay should commence with the proc
lamation, or whether 1t was intended to
cover all the time from the date OF the ap-
provh of the law.
The committee were furnished with n
letter of recommendation and Introduction
from Mayor Bowen. President Grant
being engaged with the Secretary of the
Interior and Indian Commission, they were
unable to obtain an interview. Through
the courtesy OF General Dent, the business
of the committee was made known to Presi-
dent Grant, and at his request General DEM
informed the workingmen that the President
was very careful In wording his proclama-
tion, and il was not intended to be retro
spective. The answer although not agree
able, will enable the workingmen to under
stand that the amount of twenty per cent
deducted from their pay since the enforce
ment Of the eight hour law, is irrevocably
lost.
