distinguished parties infinite pleasure to
learn that the long personal arrangement
between ex -President Willard Fillmore and

close few days since nj Saratoga by n

in It's feeling incidents, so creditable and
characteristic on both sides, that We trust

occasion OF an accidental meeting at the

ALLEGED CRUEL TREATMENT OF A CHILD.
Officer Kidd, Of the Western District, was
yesterday approached upon the street by q
girl aged twelve years, who gave her name
as Virginia Catherine Ballard, and stated
to the officer that she was from Richmond,
Va, but for some months past had been
living with woman named Margaret Her
bert, at No. 494 west Pratt street, where she
said she had received very bad treatment,
having been beaten and half starved. The
officer conducted the child before Justice

certainly indicated that she had been faring
rather badly.-Baltimore American, 22d.

A CURIOUS AcClDENT.-Edward Node
met with very curious and distressing ac-
cident. He was taking drink of water
from n glass tumblcr. Before he had swal-
lowed the first mouthful of water he disco
vered that he had swallowed several sharp
sewing-needles. He gave tremendous
cough, and finally succeeded in splitting out
one of the needles, but two of them had be-
come fastened far down his throat, and had
lodged so that they could not be forced
either down or up. A surgeon was at once
summoned, who, after examining the loca-
ton and position of the needles, announced
that they would have to be cut from the
throat. An incision was therefore made
large enough through which to extract the
needles. The needles had been carelegsly
placed in the tumbler before being taken
from the cupboard, and were not discovered
when the water was poured into it at the
charlottesville (Ey.) Times.

Ey-CoNFEpERATE GENERAL HooD.-The
st. Paul (Nlinnesota) Pioneer of July Is
says:
The Confederate General j. B. Hood ar
rived at Park Place on Sunday, and left
yesterday for Sank Rapids, where some
members OF his family are spending the
summer. General Hood is commission
merchant in New Orleans, and states that
Louisiona is now in very flourishing con-
dition, owing to fine crops, high price of
agricultural products, and the influx of
capital seeking investment in railroads,
&c. He believes season Of unparalleled
prosperity is dawning upon that section of
the South. General Hood was dashing,
hard fighter, and bears upon his person the
evidences of personal bravery. He lost q
leg and has several other wounds, and is
compelled to use crutches. He is tall and
slim, dignifed and courtly in his address,
and at the same time very genial and
pleasant in conversation.

GREELET on OUR EDUCATIONAL CoNvEN-
TIoN.-Anything more absurd than the
course Of the State Educational Convention
in Virginia in putting over for whole
year the subject of educating the freedmen
We confess ourselves unable to imagine. As
social peace, safety, and prosperity, in Vir-
ginia depend almost wholly at this moment
upon the general culture of all classes, with
out regard to cuticular tint, the sooner the
work is commenced the better; nor is there
any reason to suppose that it can be more
conveniently taken up next year than tins.
The postponcment was made, we are told,
in view of the present anomalous condi-
ton Of affairs -; but is there any reason tC
suppose that affairs will be any the less
" anomalous" in 1870 than now! 1t isn't
the affairs that are - anomalous but the
leading men who are acephaious. Tribune,

A You've CLERGY lyman SUDDENLY
STRICKEN WITH INsANITY.-After reading
the morning services in one of our churches
last Sunday, a young Episcopal clergyman
became suddenly deranged, and for the
want of a better place was taken to the jail
and locked up in one OF the cells. Upon
entering, he snatched up a pail of water
standing near and gave those around him
n cold shower-bath, which was Immediately
followed up by the pail itself. In the eve
ming a young doctor, assisted by couple Of
policemen, removed him to st. Mary's Hos
pital. For time he was quiet enough,
but about midnight he became unmanage-
able, and it was found necessary by those
in charge to turn the key upon him again.
Accordingly, he was placed in suitable
apartment, where he can be cared for until
the arrival of his friends, who have been
sent for.-Mil,oauhee Sentinel, July l7h.

GREAT BRITAIN-THE CHURCH BILL
DEFEATED IN TIE HOUSE OF LORDS.

GREAT BRITAIN-THE CHURCH BILL
DEFEATED IN TIE HOUSE OF LORDS.
LONDON, July 22.-After prolonged de-
bate in the House of Lords last night,
nearly every Lord explaining his position,
the Lords divided on the preamble OF the
disestablishment bill as it came from the
Commons, and the Government was defeated
by rs, the vote being 95 to l73. The issue
is now finally joined between the Lords
and the country. The political excitement
in consequence is intense.
The Cabinet was in session all the after
noon, but lacks harmony. Messrs. Glad
stone, Bright, and Lowe, and all the stronger
members, insist upon the immediate with
drawal of the bill, on the ground that the
obstinate resistance of the peers renders
conflict between the two Houses inevitable.
Some members, including Clarendon, advo-
cate more moderate proceedings, such as
letting the bill take its course, and only
abandoning it at the last moment; but the
insulting language used by Lord Salisbury
towards Mr.. Gladstone, and the large vote
against the preamble, show that attempts
at compromise will be useless.
There is little doubt that Gladstone will
carry his point and withdraw the bill, which
will be Immediately followed by an adjourn
ment to August, by which time the creation
of new batch of peers will present min
isterial majority in the Lords.
Placards appear on the walls to-day,
headed, ''Shalf the people or the Lords
rule ?" calling mass meeting at Armadale
Hall tomorrow, to be followed by monster
open-air demonstration.
1t is rumored that the Duke of Cambridge

THE Sun DOES NOT NOW SET IN ALASKA.
At Sitka, Mr.. Seward will sec the sun
g standing STILL as it did in the days OF
Joshua. South Alaska is in the latitude of
sixty-very nearly the same as that of
southernmost Greenland. In that latitude
the sun does not set at all in summer. 1t
remains about twenty-five degrees above
the horizon at the hour we call midnight.
The only mode of knowing there that it is
midnight is to watch the sun when it begins
to ascend. Fowls 60 to roost at Z P. NJ,
and repose until the sun is well up. In
