Was slightly addicted to ardent drinks;
has Il brother in Liverpool, -Columbi-
ana COUNTY Ohio. A memorandum
book found upon his person, shows
him to be a. person of considerable
knowledge, His left arm vas torn
off, his head crushed nearly from the
body, right limb crushed and his
right arm broken.
The Tifin Tribune of the 10th inst
says ga disturbance occurred In
one of the Second Ward schools on
Tuesday last, which was very unfortu-
in its results. Miss Catharine Sugru
was engaged ~nhearing a class, two
boys, who we're at the blackboard,
when the teachers back was turned
were pushing each other. One of the
boys, the son of Mr.. w. H. Keller,
when Miss S. turned in their direction
again, appeared to be Keeling as though
he had been pushed. The teacher
went to them and pulled the ears of
each. Young Keller swore at the
teacher and she caught him by the
wrist of the right arm and jerked him
severely. The boy some time previ-
Gus had broken his arm and it had
just began to knit, and was yet so it
could not be Strengthened. OF course
in being severely jerked, the fracture
was renewed. The boy. suffered Sc
verely from pain and cried loudly.--
Miss s, %thereupon called in Mr.. N.Y.
ers, who is a teacher in the same | uild
ing, and he removed the boy to his
room. He says he thought it was
obstinacy that caused the boy TO. cry,
and tried to stop him by haunting and
mocking at him. The boy was. re-
tanned from ten A. M. until one p.
NJ. Both teachers, claim, that they
were not aware that the boys arm
was broken or injured. The matter
was brought before the Board of Ed
ueation on Tuesday evening. The
Board submitted the question to the
superintendent, Mr.. Furniss, who is
TO investigate the matter and report
to that body.

If Ben. Butler had not rs many
lives as a cat he would have been dead
and buried long ago. His celebrated

whole civilized world howl For this
he was dam ned by the British press

the Fort Fisher Powder Ship business
subjected him to universal ridlcule,
which was heightened by the fact that
while he vas demonstrating by argu-
ment under oath that Fort Fisher
could never be taken a dispatch came
that Fort Fisher was taken. Next
came the Dutch Gap exploit which
alone would nave swamped any ordi-
nary mortal. Then bis attack in Con-

brought t"e press 10 open a general
fire upon him. Then came his great
speech on finance, which would have
done discredit to q Columbus coach
man, covered its author with inexpres
sible ridicule. And lastly may be
mentioned his great plan to keep the
Republican party in power, which
consists in bringing war, destruction
and d~esolation upon this now peaceful
country. The doctrines OF this last
speech meet with universal excrea-
ton. This time we are inclined to
think Butler is dead and will not rise
again. Hereafter his u~tterances will
receive no more consideration than the

the method Of preserving the Union.

There was nothing of an unusual or
exciting character about the opening
proceedings of the session to-day
The attendance of Senators and Mem
bers is very full, and all seem
ready for business. here was the
usual hand shaking and greetings in
both houses, Members who are re-
elected congratulated each other on
their good fortune, while those who
were defeated in the recent canvass
condoled with their fellows who met a
similar fate. On all sides there was
the utmost good feeling.
In the Senate, Carl Schurz seemed
to be the lion of the hour, being warm
ly welcomed by both Republicans and
Democrats.
In the House, Mr. Schenck was the
object of much attention, Public Gu
riosity has been aroused about the
successor to Whittemore, of South

himself. The galleries of both houses
were of course crowded by ladies and

1t is understood that Gen. Butler
has prepared several important bills
which he will throw upon the House
soon, carrying out the ideas contained
in his last November speech.
THE NAVY REPORT.
The report of the Secretary of the
Navy is published. Although brief,
it is terse and embraces numerous
matters of Importance, which are suc.

ment is responding to the demands of
the country for economy in expendl-

square miles of navigable waters, and

miles, the Secretary says that forty
