A, HOUSE SAWED IN Two.-Some
Of our' readers will remember small
frame building which stands near the
ldop9t used at various tunes fora saloon.
II stood upon the lands of two, citizens
OF our town, who each claimed share
in the house. One wished to move it,
but the other refused. The mover,
boweyer, made. lis arrangements to
to move tho house, and had raised it
upon oilers, when the other served an
injunction upon lin, forbldjing the re.
moval of the part chat stood upon his
land. The mover was not to be balked
that way aud be gave his opponent
until II M to, think about it, .aNowlng
his intention to move the small portion
which stood upon His land anyhow.
Twelve O'clock came, with no change

measured lllpy of eight feet, Of the front,end
8offthes building as standing on his land,
and had his workmen rendy, and as the
clock strnek' twelve the carpenters act
into the house, and, commencing on the
roof, deliberately sawed it in two as it
stood, rendering both ends useless to
anybody. The building still stands
there, acurious specimen Of architecture,

Anantieial scene occurred in the United
States Senate yesterday. MIR Porter,
the Representative elect frou the Rich
mond tVal) district, put himself
moniously in Senator Nye's scat, thus
displacingD Nyea whereupon Senator
Tnmbnlltook umbrage and objected to
Mr.. Porter being allowed on the floor
Senator Snmner took. up, the cutgels for
Porter and 4 ,wordy war .ensucd which
Porier seemed 10 enjoy very much,
until Senator eTrumbull exploded him
bytreading the record of his dismissal
from the army for being drunk nine
days and Speaking disrespec,fhlly or The
government. Then Mr. Porter gave up
Mr.. Nye's seat and hid himself on sofa.
But the two, Senators continued their
heated discussion. IF thla is the stuff

certainly they'nre not worth hard words
