The bill providing for the erection of new Post-
Office in New-York City is dead for this Congress
Months ago the House bill was sent to the Senate
and as is usual was referred to the Postal Commit
tee. There it lay until the other day, when the
Chairman and his clerk, in clearing up the rubbish
of hills that had accumulated with tho Committee
during the session, preparatory TO beginning new
Congress the New-York Post Office bill reached.
Mr. Ramsay, the Chairman of the Committee, was
asked what he intended doing with this and he re-
piled that he could do nothing with it except consign
it to the waste basket. He said that the COMMITTEES
had met regularly every week during the session. Dut
no one ever appeared to advocate or explain the
measure The New-York Senators took no notice OF
it. and of course the consequence was failure 70
report it. ..... ....
The Committee on Public Expenditures to-day fin
ished their report the Alaska purchase investga

taken by the Committee with no opinions or recon-

ton, had he accepted the invitation of the Com
mittee to appear before them and testify The re-
port will be presented to the House tomorrow.
majority of the House Committee on Naval
Affairs has agreed to report relative to the purchase

entirely from the report of Mr.. Kelly of the Sub
Committee and says that the complaints grew en-

Philadelphia manufacturers, because the tools weIe
of New-York manufacture. The Committee repel
all charges of frand upon John Roach q Son, who
who were the New-York contractors for the tools
used in the Navy Yards.
The Senate Naval Committee have decided to re-

charms, to be made more happy for life.
Says French gentleman Of the highest

went. as directed, to part of the ground
higher than rest of the field, where we
found from sixty to one hundred young
women, well dressed, with good looks and
good manners, and presenting q specta-
Gle quite worthy of any civil man looking
at it-and In which, | can assure my
readers, there was nothing to offend any
civil or modest mans feelings. There
were the marriagcable girls Of the coun-
try, who had come to show themselves on
the occasion 10 the young men who want
ed wives: and this was the plain and sim
pie custom of the fair. I can plainly say
that | saw In the custom no very great
impropriety-it certainly did not imply
that, though they were ready to be had,
anybody could have them. It was not q

ScRoFULA is faint or infection in the hu-
man organism, which weakens the vital
forces, AID disorders or disarranges the
functions Of the whole system. This taint
or infection is most usually hereditary in the
constitution, but it may also arise from hab
its of life, unwholsome food, etc. In time,
If this disease does not show itself IN an III
ccrous or tuberculous form, it induces those
other diseases, such as consumption, ulccra-
tions of the liver. stomach and kidneys, salt
rheum, dropsy, etc. The best remedy ever
yet discovered is ''Dr. Walkers VEGETABLE

THE FARM.

Farming is a profession, not to say a
science. IF any one doubts this stato-
ment let him leave his city home-for
no one bred in the country will doubt it
--and undertake to cultivate even a gar
den Of half an acre for the summer. He
will then find that knowledge is assem-
tial to the right use of the spade as tho
pen, aud that there is great difference
between the scientific farming of Flan-
ders, where literally not a weed is to be
seen, aud that Of mahy of our farmers,
the wealth Of whose soil is about equally
divided between fruits and weeds, as be.
tween the trades of modern commercial
city aud the barter of baekwoods settle
ment. 1t is true that agriculture has
been the last to receive tho impetus of
modern science. 1t is true that many
agricuiturists are content to go on in the
ways of their fathers, because expert
ments are costly. But it is also true that
they are unable to compete with those
who understand the use of new instru-
ments, methods and fertilizers, Agri.
culture is also becoming in this country
a popular recreation. Many gentleman
is content to spend on his country seat
money which he makes in the counting
room The practical farmer is thus able
to get :he benefit of experiments without
paying for them. This change il agri-
tulture, which has converted it from
drudeery to an art, has created demand
for corresponding literature. Fifty
years ago, stable agricultural periodical
did not exist on the American Continent
Now, every considerable district has one
while almost every weekly paper, secular
or religious, has its agricultural depart
ment; and it viii not be long before
something of library viii be a part ol
