DEATH OF THE "WELsH FASTING GIRL. -
The London papers announce the 'ragical end
of o strange imposturc. More than two years
ago girl of eleven years, named Sarah Jacobs,
the daughter of small farmer in an obscure
village of Wales, took to her bed, after vomit-
ing blood, and never afterwards left it, except
when she was lifted out. Itwas soon announced
that she took neither food nor drink, and
thousands came to see what was populsrly re.
gar;.sd as little short of miracle. The child
was exhibited lying in her bed dressed as q
bride, and with wreath of flowers around her
head. The parents derived quite q little reve-
nue. from the offerings OF sympathetic visitors
They declared that she took no sustenanoe
whatever Once fortnight her lips were
moisteued with water.
Several investigations we're made al various
times by more or less sklful observers, and
watch was set upon the room, but nothing sus-
picious was discovered. 1t seems, however,
that no examination was made ot the bed, un-
til O short time ago four experienced nurses
were sent down from Guys Hospital to silt
the ease. in concert with local committee and
several men. The room and bed were minute
" searched, and on the 9th OF December the
nurses began their watch. No food was dis
covered, and it was made morally impossible
that any should be secretly introduced, So far
the investigation may be called complete sue
cess, but after some days the girl began to
show symptoms OF starvation. The parents
were urged to give her food, but refused. On
the l7th she died, delirious. The cruelty OF
the parents, who, if the story be correctly told,
subjected their child for two long years to the
torturs of this living death, and finally caused
her death in the agonies OF starvation, Is Just
" the subject of severe reprobation. But is
nothing to be said Of the Guys Hospital au-
thorities and the local committee who per
mitted the cruel test to be carried out to the
dreadful end?

manufacturer rather than in the interes. of the
consumer.
Nj. Harper here stopped Mr.. Allison on a
merits Of the bill at this time.
Mr.. Schenck said it seemed to happen that the
bill should not be discussed upon Its merits at
this time. He would agree to postponement
fer two weeks in order that the whole country
might re the merits of the bill. He felt bound
however. to say that Mr.. Allison had misrepre-
nted facts when he said the bill was all for
mittee had kept in view the three interests of
re venue. protection and consumption, and had
endeayorcd to frame the bill with these three
matters specially i'm view.
MIR. Brooks IN. W said he had co-operatei
with pleasure with the majority of the Commit
tee on the reduction of duty on the raw mate
rial, and had thus conferred great benefit upon
the country. There are reductions on tea, cof-
fee. sugar, cigars, brandies, &c, but enormous
duties on many other articles that Aould have
been reduced. Mr.. B. was going on to explain
the bill when Mr.. Schenck said he would be
compelled to resume the floor, because he did
not want the bill discussed on its merits
on the threshold, and before il was printed
He thought it was very improper and out of
order to discuss the matter now before the bin
went TO the country, as it was calculated to
create a wrong impression, for a remark would
bring out a reply, and he did not want n one
sided general debate from one standpoint or
another. Mr.. Schenck then briefly defended
the action of the committee in putting a tariff
on iron. hides, &c.
Mr.. IAgers0ll (lll.) wanted to know il it was
in order fer the Ways and Means Committee to
discuss the bill further, to the exclusion of other
members of the House. He thought it ought to
be postponed now without further discussion.
Mr.. Marshall, Ull.,) a member of the COM
mttee, said the bill did not meet the hopes and
expectations Of the country, and he was op-
posed to it in toto, and should oppose it. He
believed the tariff for the last ten wears was
dictated by the manufacturing interests Of the
country, and was calculated to injure the con-
sumers of the country and the agricultural in
terests.
The bill was then ordered to be printed and
made the special order for Feb 18th, after the
morning hour.

IHR PENNSYLVANIA Coal TRADE. The
Phiiadelphia Ledger Of yesterday says;-Though
the anthracite coal trade is still quoted dali at
weaker prices, the production Of coal Is ON the
increase. The Reading railroad brought down
iof all kindsl Tor the week ending on the 9th
instant, Il .223 tons, against 81 ,s6I tons the
previous week, and for the fiscal year, begin
ming with the LIST of December, 423 900 tons,
against 343 ,2if tons TO the same time last wear
an increase of 20 ,165 tons. Though the tonnage
OF the Reading railroad for the week is greater
han on the preceding week, il Is less than it
was in corresponding week last year All the
coal regions, except the Schuylkifl, showed an
increased production compared with cor
responding time last year. The total produc-
uon OF all regions for the week is 2e5,4i5 tons
against E6,4Gf tons the preceding week
an increase of - 81 tons, and for the coal
year 1.0ss $50 tons, against as ,24l 90 the same
oates In 1SCs-an Increase of 2ls.939 tons
There has been as vet mo adjustment Of :. basis"
for wages. and the tendency OF prices h 20 lower
figures. The steady increase in the supply of
coal will necessarily facilitate this downward
movement, aided as II is by one o. the miliest
tons now favor the conclusion that there will
be large production Of coal in 1870, and that
there VIII be q sharp competition among the
carrying companies for the trade. The Read
ing railroad having some weeks since reduced
IFS tolls 20 Port Richmond 5s cents, the Lehigh

CUBAN AFFAIRs-Reported Capture of an In
sargenf Cdmp-Shooting Of Cuban Editor at Key
West-A Cuban Lady Cosde mned to Death, de-
Advtces from Havana state that General Pueblo
attacked and captured an intrenched camp of
the insurgents near GuamairO, with only 200
men. He remained there seventeen days and
destroyed the works before leaving. The insur-
gents fled after the first attack, leaving their
dead on the field. GonzalO Castanon, editor of
the Voc de Cuba, while standing ON the steps of
his hotel in Key West, yesterday, was attacked
by several Cubans, who fired upon him with
pistols. He returned the fire, wOunding three,
when he received a shot from which he died in
fifteen minutes. The news Of the shooting
caused great excitement at Havana. The vol
uEteers in Havana last night arrested two
men for using seditious language. 1t is reported
that the prisoners attempted to escape, and
were fired upon by their guard and killed. An
investigation Is going on.
A petition has been drawn up and signed by
800 haek-drivers In Havana, with the advice
and consent of Colonel Ampudia, the object
of which is to compel the Captain General to
promulgate deere similar to one i'm force there
many years ago. BY the provisions Of that or
der none but whites were permitted to drive
public vehicles in the streets.
Dono Luisa Fernandez has been condemned
to death by council OF war at Espiritu Santo.
This lady is 26 years OF age, and her crime con-
sisted In the fact Of her having concealed In her
house one OF the insurgent chiefs. SO says La
voz de Cuba.
