POSTMASTER. GENERALS REPORT.
Cresswell's report shows that the ordina-
ry revenues of the department for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1869, were
$18. 344, 510, and the expenditures $685.
69S, 131, showing deficiency of $5, ,353,-
621. He holds that this deficiency is due
to three causes, namely-the deprecia-
ton OF the paper currency, unpaid post
age on printed matter and the franking
privilege. During the fiscal year, the
number Of money orders increased to
,468. and the receipts to $176.247; of
which there was surplus over expendi-
lures of $65, ,553. a further extension
OF the system is recommended, it's steady
success having proved its utility and tho
confidence of the people in its safety
On June 80, 1869, there were 81, 106 post
offices in operation. A careful revision
and readjustment of pay on railroad
routes is recommended.
In, the town of s., in Maine, lived,
sPme years ago, n couple who lad got

several years before, and desired him to

scratched his head, thought moment,
and told them that there was no way but
to go to court. "But hold" says he, "I

and be true to each other until death

lifting sharp axe, hesaid: "Now, death

A NEW COBRT DRESS.

Queen Victoria has seen fit to modify
the present style of court dress for civil
ians. As our readers may like to know
what the Queen of England considers a
tit costume for gentlemen who are ad
mitted to the royal presence on formal
occasions, We quote the formula laid
down by authority"
For leyees Dark eolored cloth dress
coat, single breasted, with straight col
lar, gold embroidered collar, cuffs and
pocket flaps, gilt buttons; white waist.
coat without collar; dark colored cloth
trowsers Of the same color as the coat,
narrow gold lace stripe on the sides;
black cooked hat, with gold lace loop
and button; sword, similar to that worn
with the civil uniform; white neckeloth.
Or black silk velvet dress coat of tn g
same shape as described above with
gilt. steel or plain buttons; white waist
coat, or black silk velvet, without collar,
with similar buttons, but Of smaller size;
black silk velvet trOwsers; black cooked
hat, with gilt or steel loop and button;
gut or steel handled sword, with silk
shoulder belt white neckcloth. For
drawing rooms: Coat, waistcoat, hat,
sword, the same as for levees; cloth
breeches, of the same color as the
coat, or black; black or white silk hose,
shoes, gilt buckles Or coat, waistcoat,
hat, sword, the same as for levees; black
silk velvet breeches, black silk hose,
shoes, gilt or steel buckles"
The substitution of "trowsers for
breeches at leVees is considered great
innovation-a rapid advance towards
democracy. The gold embroidery and
gilt buttons, however, will still enable
the bucks of English society to get up
some stunning effects.

THE PELHAM TRAGEDY.

The shooting ARRAY near Pelham,
Grundy county, last Saturday between
Bob Barnes and Thomas Blair, brother
of Henderson Blair, and very well known
10 our community, was much more
tragic and cold>blooded than at first re-
ported. Our informant states that a
feud had existed between Barnes and
Blair in regard to law suit which they
were engaged. They met on that day
not far from Pelham, when Barnes called
Blair toward him, and without a word OF
warning shot him, killing him almost in
staHtly. Barnes then advanced and shot
him again in the shoulder and finally
vented his fiendish rage by shooting tie
dead man through the head. The muir
derer soon after made his escape, and has
not been seen or heard of since.-Mfr-

The Irish Church Question I'm PArlia-
ment

The Irish Church Question I'm ParIia
me0t.
LONDON, March 1S.-In the House o
Commons to-day the bill for the disestab
lishment Of the Irish Church came up fol
the second reading. Disraeli addressed
the House. He commenced by declaring
in the words of the right honorable gen
teman who introduced the bill, that the
| question was one of the most gigantic
which had ever been brought before the
House and its consideration demanded
much seli>control and mutual forbearS
ance.
He proceeded to argue that the con-
Hection between the Church and State
was a necessary one. The former rem
dered the State religious, investing its
authority with the highest authority.
This scheme was likely to destroy re
ligiOuS freedom and liberation. 1t was
complete violation of the rights of pri-
Vats property, corporate and,priVlte being
intimately connected. All acts of spO~
liation were dangerous. Hitherto they
had been followed by civil war or some
thing worse. Former contiscation had
only enriched the land owners. The
strength Of Ireland was in her connection
with England. The majority of the
Irish people were discontinued.
The settlement of the Church question
would be insufficient to quiet their dis
content. The land question requires set
Element. The details Of this scheme
were complicated and delusiye. The
present engagements of the government
with the holders of vested interests
ought to be paid as regularly and prompt
ly as dividends. These engagements
were compromised. There could be no
security against further spoliation. He
was directly opposed to the preamble Of
the bill.
Mr.. Disraeli deprecates the House of
the present government as in antagonism
to the former policy of the Wing party,
whose aim was civil and religious free
dom, In conclusion, he expressed the
belief that the bill was most dangerous to
the country, but he felt that he could de-
pend upon the prudence and patriotism
Of Parliament. He then moved the bill
be read second time six months from
to-day.
Mr.. w. II. Gregory, member for Gals
way, followed in reply. He tainted the
last speaker with his inconsistency, com
pairing the speech he had just made with
his former declarations that the Irish
church was a monstrous grievance to Ire
land. Mr.. Gregory however, did not
unreseryedly support the bill. He
thought an equitable division of the
church property among the three relig>
iOus parties preferable to the present
scheme Of distribution.
In the House of Peers this evening
Lord Gray and Lord 0rins condemned
the policy of the government in releasing
the Fenian conVicts. Earl Granville,
Colonial Secretary, explained that the
ovations given by their friends TO the res
leased Feniaus were acts of personal
not demonstrations OF hostile
ity to the government.

A METHoDICL YOUNG LADY-We hear
of a very precise and methodiGal young
lady in town, who divides her time up
with the utmost exactness. For instance,
she allows Just so much time to eating,
SO much to visiting, so much to reading,
etc, and on no accident suffers herself to
deyiate from her rules. If she has a
caller, she says, looking at her watch
Now have just ten minutes to see
you in without infringing upon my time

long ago to relate to her the sad particu-
ulars ofthe death Of her much1belOved
grandmother. The methodical young
woman was affected, even to tears, but
didn't forget her time card. She drew
forth her watch at the most touching
point in the story, and begged her friend
to cut it short, as in four minutes and
twenty-five seconds she must practice

SAD AFFAIR In VERMONT.
Two Women and a Boy Frozen to
Death,


Death.
From the Montpelier Journal, March ..
The rumOr which we published yes
terday of the death in Peacham of three
persons from freezing, being fully cons
firmed, we give some additional particu-
lars of the melancholy affair. 1t seems
that Mrs Emmons, aged seventy five
years, her daughter, aged thirty, and q
grandson aged eight or ten, left Marsh>
field on Thursday to go to visit sister
of Mrs. EmmOns in Peacham. After
travelling about six miles, they stopped
at the house Of one Beau, in Peacham,
on the Marshfield side Of Peacham woods,
and begged shelter for the night. This
being refused, they proceeded on their
perilous journey for about two and one
half miles, being partially sheltered
by dense woods. Soon after reach>
Ing the open country, and when
within about two miles of Peacham,
the old lady fell exhausted in the road
The daughter passed on few rods,
and sat upon the fence, apparently to
keep watch Of her mother, while the lad,
seeing a light some distance ahead,
started on to procure assistance. He
succeeded by less than forty feet in
reaching the house OF Mr.. Frank Farrar,
and there called loudly for help. The
occupants of the house heard repeated
calls, but made little effort to discover
their source, supposing them to proceed
from an idiOtic occupant Of the house.
In the morning the dead bodies Of all
three were found-the lad standing in
his tracks near the house, the daughter
under the fence, and the old lady was
plowed up in breaking out the roads!

Highway Robbery

We take the following from The Athens
Tenn Post.
A young man named Louis Hampton,
who lives near this place, was attacked on
the 9th inst, near the head Of Dry Creek,
10 Monroe county, by four bighwaymen,
who robbed him of a gold watch and
seventy eight dollars in money. Mr..
Hampton had been to North Carolina on
business, and was on his return when the
robbery occurred. The robbers were
armed with heavy navy pistols, and after
having relieved the young man Of his
watch and money, permitted him to de-
part, with emphatic instructions 70 travel
and to keep silent in regard to the robbery
until he got some distance away under
penalty of being killed.
Hampton was armed with a six shooter
but says the appearance Of the robbers was
30 sudden and abrupt, with their pistols
cooked and presented, that there was DC
opportunity for resistance. They took his
pistol, and after rendering it unfit for I'M
mediate use, handed the weapon back tC
hun. They appeared 10 be young men
and we're all dressed 10 ordinary jeans
clothing. Hampton says there is som'
pretty rough country 10 the direction 0
the North Carolina mountains, and think
that he will not visit it again without al
ea1Orf
